"Karl Wolff, appoint you as the Chief of Staff of the Private Staff Headquarters of the SS National Leader. Carl, you are a veteran with rich combat experience. I hope you can take Heinz with you, including me of course, He leads us students who have graduated from the academy but have never been on the battlefield, and brings us knowledge to ensure that we will not make wrong judgments in the war and cause unnecessary casualties to the troops below." Lin Wei said. It was extremely sensational, and the serious-looking staff officers who listened to it couldn't help but get wet at the corners of their eyes.

Karl Wolff stood up and raised his hands and said, "Captain, these young staff officers will definitely be the elites of Germany in the future. Thank you for letting me teach these future elites. I feel extremely honored. I want to be the elite of Germany." The German tanks are moving again, and these young staff officers who are doing this will definitely make our enemies tremble." After saying these words, Heinz and the others stood up and saluted Karl Wolff, and everyone cheered Palm.

After the applause subsided, Lin Wei announced the second appointment: "Gottlob Berger, appoint you as the director of the SS Central Technical Administration. This position means that the future equipment and supplies of the SS will be handed over to you." Here you go.”

"Yes, Captain" Gottlob Berger replied simply.

"Hans Yutner" Lin Wei read out his name again, "You were originally the captain of the Berlin Garrison District in the SA, and now you are appointed as the director of the SS Operations Headquarters."

Hans was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he was also on Lin Wei's list, but he immediately stood up and said, "Yes, captain, I will never disgrace the reputation of the SS."

"Louis von Ho, appoint the head of the SS Race and Immigration Bureau. This department was originally established by Himmler. Unfortunately, he died in the hands of the Roma remnants. Now it is left to you. Louis, the American The immigration wave is very rapid now, your burden is really not light, I hope you can succeed."

"Captain, I will do my best to complete every job," Louis said loudly, but immediately added in his heart, "Including killing Himmler."

"Paul Scharfe, Heydrich recommended you. You played a great role in the establishment of the Gestapo. He highly praised your ability. Now I will appoint you as the Minister of the SS Judicial Headquarters. I hope You can be fair in dealing with disputes between comrades and the public."

"Yes, thank you captain," said Paul Shafer.

"You don't need to thank me, just thank Heydrich." Lin Wei shook his head.

"Walter Schmidt, appoint you as the head of the SS Personnel Headquarters."

"Thank you captain for trusting me," Walter Schmidt said.

In the following time, Lin Wei appointed ministers of various subordinate departments, including Kurt Daluege as the director of the Central Office of the Order Police. Oswald Bohr is appointed head of the SS Economic and Administration Bureau. August Heismeier was appointed deputy SS commander. Werner Lorenz was appointed director of the Office for Returned Germans. Ulrich Greifeld. Head of the Office of the Minister for the Consolidation of the German Racial Reich.

After finishing these things, Lin Wei said, "Now we have to discuss the subordinate organizational issues in various places. Let's ignore the domestic ones for now. After all, it is very chaotic and will not be effective in a short time. Let's bring it back and talk about it. Let's talk about foreign countries first. Regarding the distribution and construction issues, Austria is a Germanic country like us, and the world knows it, so I decided to secretly develop our power in Austria first. After all, Britain and France are still staring at us. This Things cannot be made public, they can only be done secretly, do you understand?"

"Of course, Captain" the voice below was surprisingly consistent for the first time.

"Then, Heydrich, it would be best if your Gestapo handled this matter. I wonder if you have any suitable candidates to take photos to Austria?" Lin Wei asked, tilting his head.

Heydrich lowered his head in thought, then immediately raised his head and said, "Yes, Richard Hildebrandt can accept this task, right Richard?".

"No problem, captain, I'll go to Austria," Richard Hildebrandt, who was behind Heydrich, stood up and said.

Lin Wei looked apologetic, "Then Richard Hildebrandt, I will leave the Austrian affairs to you. This matter is a top priority and there can be no mistakes. You can talk more with the Austrian people." The Nazi organization moved around.”

"Captain, leave it to me." Richard Hildebrandt answered coolly and sat down.

Lin Wei looked at everyone and said again, "Basically, that's all. Among them, the Ethnographic Research Office led by Captain Himmler will no longer be working from today on. All researchers will be dispersed and filled in their respective fields of expertise to continue to work." Contribute to the empire, do you have any questions?”

"No more, Captain" everyone shouted.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Come in, the door is unlocked" Heinz called.

"Haha, it's so lively here. I wonder what important things are being discussed?" The door opened wide, and Hitler's unique voice reached the ears of everyone in the room.

"Hi, Hitler" Lin Wei responded first, and then everyone in the conference room responded "Hi, Hitler...".

"There's no need to be so outspoken. We are all comrades. I want to hear what you are discussing. Of course, if it is confidential, there is no need to talk about it." Hitler signaled that everyone did not need to salute, and then asked.

These words made Lin Wei laugh. "Führer, the SS only exists to implement the orders of the Führer. How can we have our own secrets in front of the Führer? But..." When he said this, Lin Wei glanced behind Hitler. secretary.

Of course Hitler understood what Lin Wei was worried about, "Lampard, don't worry, why are there those nasty flies around me?"

"Haha, Führer, I'm too worried," Lin Wei said embarrassedly, "We were just discussing the composition of the branches of the SS. This time I went home and passed by Bavaria when I came back. I found that I didn't know anything about it. Who is the leader of the local SS? The SS seems to have a very bad reputation locally. I don’t want the SS to become Röhm’s stormtroopers, so I decided to reorganize it as soon as I came back this time." .

"Oh, that's it, what are you going to do?" Hitler asked with interest.

Seeing what Hitler said, Lin Wei thought about it for a long time and decided to take a risk: "Führer, I hope that the SS will have its own military rank system and its own organization." This proposal has great risks and may make Hitler begin to distrust Lin Wei. . However, Lin Wei decided to take a risk and make the SS independent of the Wehrmacht early, instead of not becoming active until the beginning of the Soviet-German War as historically was the case.

Lin Wei did not dare to breathe loudly after speaking, for fear that Hitler would veto his proposal. Hitler's expression did not change. Lin Wei could only secretly pray for God's blessing. Finally Hitler said, "Lampard, I basically agree with your proposal, but the attitude of the Wehrmacht is the key. You need to communicate with them more." "

"Führer, I only know the attitude of the Führer, those old stubborns in the Wehrmacht. If it weren't for them, how could we have lost last time? How could we make the energetic SS obey the command of the Wehrmacht, do you think that's right?" Lin Wei said with extreme force. He said to the SS personnel behind him in a contemptuous tone.

"Yes, we can't listen to them. We can't lose again. Germany can't lose again." Louis Von Huo quickly and calmly took over the topic.

"Yes, we can't listen to them, we can't lose again, and Germany can't lose again." The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly reached climax, and it seemed that they were incompatible with the Wehrmacht.

Seeing that the scene seemed to be out of control, Hitler immediately said, "Well, the reason why we lost the war last time was because the hateful Jews stabbed us in the back. It was not the fault of the Wehrmacht. Lampard, I hope you will usually Please restrain your subordinates. As for your proposal just now, what are your thoughts now?"

Lin Wei then kept talking and tried to persuade Hitler. "Of course, Führer, I envision a total of five and sixteen levels of organization for each area of the SS."

After Lin Wei finished speaking, he waited for Hitler's reaction. After reading it, Hitler said, "This is really a good system. Lampard seems that you have spent a lot of effort on it."

"No, Head of State, this also draws on the connections between the original stormtrooper regions. I didn't put so much effort into it," Lin Wei said modestly.

"Okay, I agree to your proposal. In the afternoon I want the Wehrmacht to go see the exercise. I wonder if you have any control over it," Hitler said.

"Führer, this is my honor," Lin Wei replied respectfully.

"Then I'll leave first, and you can continue talking," Hitler said with a tired look on his face.

"The Führer walks slowly."

After Hitler left, Lin Wei took the time to finish the remaining matters and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

After everyone left, Louis came over sneakily, "Lampard, you are crazy, what if Hitler becomes suspicious of you."

Lin Wei smiled and said, "It's okay, Lewis, didn't you carry it for me?"

"Of course, luckily I reacted quickly," Louis said proudly, "But are you really going to go with Hitler this afternoon? He won't kill you, right?"
