"Father, don't worry, with our level of cannon casting, this is not a problem at all," Lin Wei consoled him, "Germany's masterpieces in World War II were incapable of being defeated by the Soviet Union's massive tanks," he kept this sentence in his heart.
Gustav and Lin Wei talked from late at night until dawn. As soon as it dawned, Gustav took the drawings drawn by Lin Wei to the factory. Before leaving, he said, "Son, you can go to sleep. Dad will go to the factory first." Go to the factory. By the way, burn all the waste products you drew yesterday."
Lin Wei is looking forward to the early appearance of the No. 4 tank.
After Gustav went out, Lin Wei cleaned up the waste paper on the floor and fell asleep until the afternoon. It was Linda who couldn't stand it any longer, so she called Lin Wei up to eat.
After dinner, Linda suggested going out for a walk, and Lin Wei readily agreed. The streets of Essen were filled with people rushing back and forth. Their faces were either happy or sad, but their eyes revealed perseverance. Maybe they I am looking forward to the future of Germany.
The scene at the intersection ahead disturbed Lin Wei's good mood. A French policeman was scolding a young man, and there was a girl crying next to him. Lin Wei, an onlooker on the side, had a certain understanding of the matter. It was nothing more than a German young man going shopping with his girlfriend and encountering a French policeman. The French policeman took advantage of the girl. The young man asked angrily, but the French policeman Swearing arrogantly.
"You German pigs are as incompetent as your Emperor Wilhelm II. You can only hide under the protection of the strong." The French policeman shouted arrogantly. The German crowd next to him was furious. Lin Wei heard This sentence didn't just make him frown.
Lin Wei was about to go up at that time, but Linda held Lin Wei back and said, "Lampard, don't go, that Frenchman has a gun." The anxious voice made Lin Wei feel warm in his heart, so he replied, "Don't worry, Linda. I promise it'll be fine."
Immediately, Lin Wei walked from the crowd to the side of the French policeman. Seeing Lin Wei approaching, the French policeman couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't expect that there are still patriotic young people here. Boy, don't meddle in other people's business."
"But, I really want to take care of it, what should I do?" Lin Wei said with a playful smile.
"You brat, you...".
There was a crisp "bump" sound, and Lin Wei hit the French policeman on the chin with a hard blow. The French policeman was beaten so hard that he staggered and fell to the ground, confused and slightly dizzy. However, he regained consciousness in a moment, and the French policeman who reacted returned to the basic qualities of a policeman - drew his gun, but Lin Wei ran over and kicked him when he was dizzy. The unlucky French policeman had just killed him When the gun was pulled out, Lin Wei kicked it away.
"You dare to hit me? Who are you?" the French policeman asked sternly.
"Should I hit you? If I wanted to, no one would dare to kill you. As for who I am? My name is Lampard & Krupp." Lin Wei said contemptuously. Lin Wei said his name. Stunned the French policeman.
"Just wait for me, I will definitely come to find you." After a long time, the French policeman calmed down, said a few words, stood up and left.
Lin Wei then turned to the young pair and said, "Are you okay?"
"Master Lampard, we are fine," the young man said.
"Don't call me young master. I'm very sensitive to the word young master now," Lin Wei said with a smile.
"By the way, what are your names?" At this time Linda also walked over from the crowd.
"My name is Wu Lanfu, and this is my girlfriend Lisa," Wu Lanfu introduced, Lisa also nodded slightly.
"Girlfriend? It turns out you're not married yet, but you seem to be quite young," Linda said playfully.
"I'm 29 years old this year. Lisa and I don't get married because... because we don't have money," Wu Lanfu said with a blush.
I don't know why Lin Wei wanted to help Wu Lanfu when he saw him, so he said, "Don't have money? I do. You can get married whenever you want."
"Well, I'm sorry, we just met," Wu Lanfu said hurriedly.
"Huh? Don't be polite to me. Let's do this. I think it's a good idea for you to get married today. Linda, how about we go to Essen Cathedral?" Lin Wei said as he picked up Wu Lanfu and left.
"Okay, we haven't been there since we got married. We must take a good look this time," Linda said excitedly.
Lin Wei and the two went straight to Essen Cathedral regardless of Wu Lanf's objections. The bishop heard that the heir of the Krupp family had arrived and came out to greet him personally. Lin Wei said you were not welcome and said that he was here mainly because his friends were holding a wedding. When the bishop heard that Lin Wei's friend was holding a wedding, he immediately said that he would personally host it, and Lin Wei thanked the bishop for his kindness.
This not grand but enjoyable wedding made Lin Wei and Linda feel the warmth they had not seen for a long time. It was already dark after the wedding. When Lin Wei and Linda stood up to leave, they were stopped by Wu Lanfu.
"Wu Lanfu, do you have anything else to do?" Lin Wei asked.
"Lampard, thank you today. I know you are the leader of the SS. I want to join the SS and hope to drive out the French devils in the future," Wu Lanfu said seriously.
"Oh? Were you a soldier before?" Lin Wei asked.
"I used to work in the navy's logistics department," Wu Lanfu said cautiously, lest Lin Wei refuse but did not see Lin Wei's eyes light up.
Haha found it. The SS needed to establish a spokesperson in the navy, but Lin Wei didn't want to praise an old man. He was worried about this matter, and Wu Lanfu happened to fall from the sky.
The Logistics Department is also a key department. If used properly, it can definitely be of great use. It can be involved in military port engineering, naval financial management, naval munitions, oil management and technology, ship supplies, military port management, and sail and cable coating management. So Lin Wei Decided to 'praise him'.
"Oh, have you worked in the Navy's logistics department? Well, I welcome you to join the SS. When I have time to recommend you to the Navy, I believe you will be admitted by the Navy soon." Lin Wei's face was calm He said, looking sanctimonious.
"Thank you, Lampard," Wu Lanf said excitedly.
"Goodbye, Wu Lanfu." After Lin Wei finished speaking, he shook hands with Wu Lanfu and said goodbye.
Under the bright moonlight, the shadows of Lin Wei and the others were stretched out. "Lampard, do the SS still need people? Can I join too," Linda said.
Ahem... "What did you say?" Lin Wei looked at Linda in disbelief.
"Hehe, I lied to you," Linda said and ran away.
"You are so... Hey! Linda, be careful, you are pregnant," Lin Wei was stunned and then shouted.
"I know, it's okay, come and chase me," Linda's silvery voice came.
Lin and Wei walked happily until it was almost late at night when they arrived home. As soon as they got home, they suddenly found that Gustav and Berta were both awake and waiting for them.
Berta took Linda aside, and Gustave motioned to Lin Wei to follow him upstairs. Lin Wei naturally followed Gustav upstairs after receiving the instruction, and saw Linda with his peripheral vision. Make faces at him.
Arriving in the study room upstairs, Gustave made a cup of coffee and said to Lin Wei, "Son, the designers in the factory have already seen your drawing. It's really a perfect work. Didn't you see their drawing?" His expression is one of surprise, haha."
"No, Dad. Tank No. 4 is far from perfect. There are still many shortcomings." Lin Wei shook his head and said.
"Oh? Son, what's not perfect about the Panzer IV?" Gustav asked in surprise.
"The No. 4's firepower is not strong. I think it must be equipped with at least a long-barreled 75mm/48-caliber cannon. With our family's leadership in artillery technology, I think a 75mm cannon is enough." Lin Weiwei Said eloquently.
After Lin Wei finished speaking, he looked at Gustav. Gustav motioned to Lin Wei to continue, so Lin Wei continued, "Secondly, we can make the No. 4 tank larger, as long as the weight is controlled below 30 tons." Yes, if you increase it appropriately, you can pay more attention to the room for improvement."
"Yes, my son, go on" Gustave encouraged.
"Father, in short, we want to design this tank into a high-quality product with mature technology, easy production, average performance, and reliable use." Lin Wei's words made Gustav feel young.
"Okay, my son, we will definitely make No. 4 such a tank," Gustav said firmly.
Seeing that Gustav was in high spirits, Lin Wei decided to strike while the iron was hot, "Uh, father, I have one more thing."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Gustav picked up the coffee with interest and took a sip.
"Father, I want some money." Lin Wei was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, tell me, how much does it cost?" Gustav said absently, not taking the money seriously at all.
"It's enough to get 50 million marks first."
"Pfft... Ahem... How much do you think... how much?" Gustav asked in surprise, not even noticing that his body was covered with sprayed coffee.
Looking at Gustav's expression, Lin Wei knew that the 50 million was not so easy to get, so he said, "50 million, father's money, I am going to invest in our potential military industry enterprises in Germany. After all, our family's The product is too single, I think we should develop across fields and not rely too much on artillery and tanks."
After hearing Lin Wei's words, Gustave fell silent. He knew his family's disadvantages. Maybe the Krupp family can be called a big old family in Germany, but it is far from enough in the world.
The reason why the Junker landowners are comparable to the Jewish consortium headed by Rothschild and the big families in the United States is mainly due to the quantity rather than the quality of the Junker landowners. If you want to become an absolute financial oligarchy, you must develop across fields and in many aspects like Jews and Americans.
After thinking so much, Gustav finally decided to believe Lin Wei for once, so he said, "My son, you have never let me down since you were a child. This time, dad still believes in you. Although fifty million is not a small amount, But dad can still get it, but tell me what you use the money for?"
Lin Wei thought for a while and said, "Father, since World War I, we in Germany have begun to accumulate national strength and prepare for revenge. Take our family as an example, we have never stopped researching and developing weapons in these years. I think other factories have also The same thing. But many of these factories don’t have much strength, which means they don’t have money, and what I have to do is look for potential projects and designers to cooperate with.”
In terms of implementation, many of Germany's famous weapons in World War II were qualitatively produced in the 1930s. Lin Wei just wanted these weapons to have something to do with him.
Gustav thought about it for a long time and felt that Lin Wei was right, so he finally agreed to Lin Wei's request.
"Father, this, I have one more thing." Lin Wei started to push further after seeing Gustav agree.
Gustav raised his head and his eyes were full of threats, as if he should not go too far. However, Lin Wei was not intimidated by such a look, and still put forward his own idea, "Father, I remember that there seem to be many Germans in the United States. I don't know, right?"
Uh... Gustav didn't expect Lin Wei to ask such a question, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, there are indeed many German immigrants in the United States."
Seeing Gustav start to answer, Lin Wei felt happy in his heart, with a sad expression on his face, "Father, we German immigrants in the United States are all engaged in low-paying, over-hours jobs. Can't we help them?" They are all our compatriots."
Lin Wei didn't see Gustave reply for a long time during his performance. When he looked up, he saw Gustave looking at him with a half-smile. Lin Wei was also a smart man and immediately stopped his self-deprecating performance.
