Now, Lin Wei had something to do. Since he had established the establishment, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use it? So from the day the establishment was established, Lin Wei communicated with Heydrich and asked his subordinate Gestapo to start from various departments under the SS. When selecting personnel for the agency, the requirements are that they must be native Germans, must not be illiterate, and have no habit of drinking. The most important thing is that they must be politically reliable.
Heydrich accepted Lin Wei's order and immediately ordered the Gestapo to send all the investigation reports on the living habits, political accomplishments, academic qualifications, and various investigation reports of the personnel in various institutions in Germany to Lin Wei, allowing Lin Wei to choose by himself, looking at Berlin alone. The document area was more than two meters high. Looking at Heydrich who was leisurely drinking coffee next to him, Lin Wei not only mocked, "Reinhard, the efficiency of the Gestapo really amazes me. If all the files of all German subordinates are "Send it to me, I don't know if it can fit in my office."
Heydrich took a sip of coffee and glanced at Lin Wei sideways, "Thank you, leader, there is nothing in Germany that the Gestapo doesn't know about. If you really want the files of all your subordinates, I guarantee you will do so by this time tomorrow." You can see it.”
Lin Wei didn't know what his expression was now. Anyway, it must be very ugly. What Heydrich said was really irritating. Lin Wei looked at Heydrich for a long time. He thought he would say nothing but kept drinking coffee. , I really don’t know why I didn’t finish that small cup of coffee for so long. Finally, Lin Wei slumped in his seat and said lazily, "Reinhard, I don't know what happened today. I feel very uncomfortable and can no longer handle official duties. Now I am ordering you as the national leader of the SS." Take over the formation of the flag guard, okay, you go out first, I want to take a rest, ah, that’s right, we must also increase efforts to develop branches in the Air Force and Navy. You first develop members. As for the branches in the Air Force and Navy Just wait for me to solve the issue of the leadership of the department, oops... I can’t do it anymore, I feel so uncomfortable.”
"Lampard, you..."
"Reinhard, this is the leader's order, you must complete it." Heydrich got goosebumps hearing Lin Wei's half-dead voice.
After Heydrich left, Lin Wei immediately jumped up and said, "Hmph... you want to play with me." Then he picked up the phone on the table and said, "Heinz, find me someone...".
"Leader, the person you are looking for has been found," Heinz said quickly, and then opened a stack of documents, "Paul Hausser, the current principal of the Braunschweig Military Academy, with the rank of flag captain, joined the SS His previous military rank was Lieutenant General of the Army, and he was the first to receive it during World War I. He received the Iron Cross First Class, the Iron Cross Second Class, and the Royal Medal of Honor with the Hohenzollern Prussian Family Sword. Armored Forces Director Guderian was his friend. , who had been Chief of Staff to General Kesselring in the Air Force.”
"According to the evaluation of his subordinates, he knows the military system well, which is something that other SS leaders do not have. He has the qualities that an excellent staff officer should have, and he also has excellent practical skills in actual combat. Strategic vision. Therefore, he was highly respected by the young SS soldiers. Like some other senior SS officers, his subordinates respectfully called him "Dad".
"Yes, that's him. He's the person I'm looking for." Lin Wei stood up after hearing this and walked back and forth. "Heinz, please invite Captain Paul Hausser here." , remember to invite him over politely." Lin Wei said seriously.
"Yes, leader" Heinz raised his hand and then went out to find Paul Hausser.
Haha, Paul Hausser, he is the real father of the Waffen-SS. He imparted regular military service to the SS Mobile Group, which at the time was akin to a police force, and developed it into a division. At the same time, he also carried out rational reforms to the militarized training of the SS. Himmler did not need him, but I am not Himmler. In my case, Paul Hausser can definitely implement all its ideas.
Paul Hausser was quickly brought into the headquarters, but Paul Hausser was very confused now. Looking back, he had not met the young leader, but Paul Hausser still sorted out He packed his clothes and arrived at Lin Wei's office in a military style. The office was not very luxurious, it was just filled with all kinds of books. Lin Wei didn’t know what he was writing on the table. “It seems that this young leader is still very studious,” Paul Hausser said to the young man opposite. The leader feels very good now.
After Lin Wei finished writing, he looked up and saw Paul Hausser. Like ordinary German officers, he had the characteristics of a typical old Prussian officer: dignified and polite, with a good orthodox education and an old-fashioned personality. This has almost become Unique characteristics of German officers.
In just a moment, Lin Wei knew how to talk to this officer. "Captain Paul Hausser, or Lieutenant General Paul Hausser, hello, I know you want to know why I called you At this point, this question is not important, so I won’t answer you yet. Captain Hauser, I don’t know what your current impression of the SS is. If, I mean, if a war breaks out in the future, the current party Can the Guards participate in the war as an army?"
After listening to Lin Wei's words, Paul Hausser thought about it and said, "No, the current SS can only be regarded as a police force. It can deal with domestic thugs, but it cannot fight against an army at all, and the SS The current militarization is very unreasonable and should be improved."
"Well, Captain Paul Hausser, I don't know if you have heard that I have passed the proposal on the SS Flag Guard at my cabinet meeting. I want to know if you can train these troops to improve their performance." Combat power so that it can become a real army." Lin Wei asked again.
"Well, leader, I can only say that I will try my best." Paul Hausser thought about it and said cautiously.
Seeing that Paul Hausser agreed, Lin Wei felt extremely happy: "Paul Hausser, now I appoint you as the commander of the SS Special Mobile Team (Division). Your military rank is SS Regional Commander (Major General). )" Seeing what Paul & Hauser wanted to say, Lin Wei immediately added, "The sources of the first special mobile team (division) will be selected from the elites of various branches of the SS nationwide. Under it, the SS will be organized - VT artillery regiment (with three artillery battalions under its jurisdiction), infantry regiment, reconnaissance brigade, anti-tank battalion, air defense brigade, engineering brigade, communications brigade, anti-tank brigade, and air defense brigade. I hope the captain of the Hauser area can train it To become an army comparable to the Wehrmacht, Captain Hauser, after all, this is the first regular unit of the SS, I will definitely give you my full support, if you have any questions, you can raise them now."
"No, leader, you have already said it very comprehensively. I have nothing to add." Paul Hausser shook his head and said, "But where are the soldiers now? I want to see them."
"Uh..." Lin Wei choked. He had already left the matter of the soldiers to Heydrich.
"Is there any problem?" Paul Hausser asked doubtfully.
"This is a soldier's question..." Lin Wei scratched his head to know how to answer.
"Soldiers are being selected." Heydrich appeared here at the right time. Lin Wei shouted that he was lucky and almost showed his secret. Then Heydrich said coolly, "After all, the first regular unit of the SS cannot be careless. We need all of them." He is a very reliable person, so the soldiers are still being selected, but I think the selection will be completed tomorrow.”
"Oh, that's right. Leader, if nothing happens, I'll go back first. After all, I still have to hand over some documents to my subordinates," Paul Hausser said goodbye.
"Goodbye, Captain Hauser," Lin Wei politely replied.
After Hauser left, Lin Wei grabbed Heydrich's neck and said, "Reinhard, are you deliberately seeing me make a fool of myself?"
"Ahem... Lampard, are you serious? Hum, I think I may not be able to finish the selection tomorrow. After all, the workload is too heavy."
"Huh? Reinhard, I was just joking."
"Oh, really?"
"Hehe... of course, of course."
Wow, why did it become chapter 72? But now it has been changed back. But it’s really embarrassing. Maybe I read it wrong.
Heydrich's ability to do things was really impressive. In just three days, Heydrich selected enough personnel from SS branches all over Germany. These people seemed to meet all the conditions to be considered outstanding. , high morale and well-trained. After Lin Wei saw these people, he immediately decided to leave them all and give them to Paul & Hauser.
With his own direct force, Lin Wei was of course full of concern for them, and Sanchawu went to see this 'model division' to show how amiable Lin Wei was as the leader of the SS.
After several visits, Lin Wei discovered a problem that he had never paid attention to, that is, Germany is not an oil-producing country, on the contrary, it is an oil-poor country. In the early days of World War II, the gasoline in German tanks was provided by the Soviets. There is even a saying that Hitler launched the Soviet-German War because Stalin was always threatening Romania's oil pipelines behind his back. Regardless of whether it is true or not, Germany's dependence on oil is an indisputable fact.
In view of this, Lin Wei felt that he had to make some preparations again. Lin Wei was not like one day when the war started and his subordinates came to ask him for oil. If the war failed because of the lack of oil, It’s as ridiculous as losing the chain at a critical moment while riding a bicycle.
However, this is also a good opportunity to make money. Since the Krupp family has a big business, they don't care about having another 'Krupp Petrochemicals'. Lin Wei chose a small chemical factory in Germany to acquire and carry out a chicken-and-egg campaign. He temporarily entrusted his servant Raul to manage it. However, to have a factory, there must be knowledgeable people. It was easy to handle. He found among the immigrants who had returned from the United States. Soon Lin Wei found all the talents he wanted. This "Krupp" Petrochemical' is established.
Michael is a German-American who once worked in an oil company owned by Rockefeller. However, with the advent of the Great Depression, Michael had to accept the reality of unemployment. A few months ago, I heard that jobs could be found in Germany, so I rushed back from the United States. I didn't expect that the employment pressure in Germany was also very high, until I saw that recruitment advertisement.
But now, Michael feels that his decision was a wise one. He has been on the construction site for seven days without leaving the firing line. He is unshaven, his eyes are red, and he is shaking a little when walking, but these can't conceal his excitement. The workers on the construction site are even more cheering because they have just completed a A very important lifting job, the key parts of the first large oil storage tank have been successfully installed.
This oil storage tank is an oil storage tank with a semi-above ground structure. The new company Lin Wei invested in is an unprecedented new thing in Germany - an oil reserve company. An important factor that impressed Michael was Lin Wei's protective umbrella, but more importantly, Lin Wei Wei promised to go back and lobby Hitler immediately. With the various preferential policies and support provided by the government for such projects, he believed that Michael could easily make this business bigger and stronger.
When Lin Wei prepared everything and decided to visit Hitler, during the conversation with Hitler, the oil problem became extremely serious in Lin Wei's mouth. Of course, this was also the case. Hitler took it seriously. , decided to solve this problem immediately.
In November 1934, at Hitler's suggestion, the German Parliament passed the Petroleum Reserve Act, which was implemented at the end of the same year to further improve Germany's three-level strategic petroleum reserve system through legislation.
According to this law, based on last year's average sales or usage, all companies engaged in imported oil in Germany must reserve at least the oil needed to continue selling for 90 days. Enterprises engaged in deep processing of oil, wholesale and retail of finished products such as gasoline must also additionally Reserve petroleum or petroleum products required for 90 days.
