After all, Göring was born as a combat hero in the Air Force. With a flash of his mind, he understood the advantages of Lin Wei's proposal. "However, although Lampard was not born in the Air Force, he was right about this. The industrial base of the empire has all been transformed into war potential." The time is amazing, but cultivating a qualified pilot cannot be achieved overnight. A high-consumption service like the Air Force should indeed pay more attention to personnel training."
No matter how good the top student at the Air Force Academy is, he is still a rookie. After all, one instructor teaches many people. The instructor can only teach basic knowledge, which is completely different from a pilot who has received training in the army.
If you just look at the number of ace pilots produced by the Air Force in World War II, the German Air Force is undoubtedly No. 1, but this also reflects the shortcomings of the Luftwaffe pilots from the side. Most of these ace pilots did not survive until the end of the war. The Luftwaffe at that time was completely In a battle with an enemy ten times his own, a good tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves, and all the dazzling achievements disappeared with the defeat.
Ahem... Lin Wei's nonchalant tone made Hitler cough suddenly, "Lampard, you are really rich, but now the empire's finances are really difficult to turn over." For a Prime Minister like Hitler, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to say that he has no money. Sorry.
When it came to having no money, Lin Wei couldn't think of a way to do it. After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Wei decided to help. "Führer, if it's about funds, I think I can discuss it with Deutsche Bank, but I don't have much confidence." grasp".
"Really? Lampard." Before Hitler could say anything, Goering rushed up and hugged Lin Wei. Ahem... Facing the mountain-like Goering, Lin Wei really had no room to fight back, and his face turned red from holding back "Göring. General Lin, please let go first." Lin Wei tried his best to finally break free from Golin's hands.
"Yeah!" Hitlai looked at Lin Wei who was out of breath being hugged by Goring Bear and said with a smile, "Herman, don't beat our little friend to pieces."
"Okay, the matter has been solved. It's getting late. We have to go to Berlin tomorrow. You can go and rest first." Hitler looked at his watch and said,
"Yes, head of state," Lin Wei and Goering agreed.
After leaving the head of state's office, Goering caught up with Lin Wei and said with a rare expression, "Lampard, thank you."
Goering's performance made Lin Wei confused and had to say, "General, you are too polite. I am doing this for the sake of Germany. Without a strong air force, who will protect our blue sky in the future?".
"Anyway, thank you. If anything happens in the future, please contact me." Golin patted his chest and left in a hurry.
"What's wrong with Göring today?" Lin Wei shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Forget it, go to bed, I have to go to Berlin tomorrow. I don't know how much official work is backlogged at the headquarters when I come out with Heydrich. It's really a headache." Shaking his head, Lin Wei also said Walk towards your room.
Early the next morning, Hitler, senior officials of the National Socialist Party, and the generals of the Wehrmacht all returned to Berlin. Lin Wei spent the morning finishing the backlog of official business, and in the afternoon he came to the Deutsche Bank branch in Berlin. After After discussing with the person in charge of Berlin Distribution, the person in charge said that he could not make the decision and wanted to ask the headquarters in Frankfurt for instructions. He said that he would notify Lin Wei as soon as there was any news.
Lin Wei didn't have to wait long. The person in charge of Deutsche Bank rushed over from Frankfurt the next day and agreed to meet Lin Wei in a pub on the Kurferstendam Commercial Street. The street is 3 kilometers long and is lined with shops, clothing stores and galleries. The famous Rue des Linden is the most famous boulevard in Europe.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Wei came to this pub and met his meeting partner, Schroter, the senior director of the Deutsche Bank Group. The two exchanged pleasantries and got down to business. Lin Wei proposed a loan plan to the Deutsche Bank Group on behalf of the government.
Hearing the loan amount proposed by Lin Wei, Schroter couldn't help but frowned secretly, because the amount proposed by Lin Wei was really too big. Even a world-renowned bank like Deutsche Bank could not afford such an amount, "Lampa Mr. De, you should know that this is not a small amount. We really do not have so much funds. Not only us, but even the American consortium cannot come up with so much cash."
After listening to Schroth's words, Lin Wei smiled slightly, "Mr. Schroth, only you know how powerful Deutsche Bank is. What I want to say is that a country cannot be defenseless. The Danzig area is still in Polish hands. Here, the Rhineland demilitarized zone where my hometown Essen is located is still ruled by the French police, and no German soldier exercises sovereignty there. Even for the sake of the empire, you Deutsche Bank should help Germany overcome this difficulty." .
"But, Mr. Lampard, if we provide the loan in the amount you said, Deutsche Bank will go bankrupt. It's not that we don't cooperate. We really don't have that much cash," Schroeter said helplessly.
"Huh?" Lin Wei couldn't help but tap the table lightly, and the rhythm made Schroeder a little upset. "Mr. Schroeder, I want to know how much cash Deutsche Bank can withdraw now?" Thinking Lin Wei asked afterward.
"Without affecting the bank's turnover, we can withdraw up to 100 million marks," Schroeter quickly gave the answer.
"No, it's too little, at least 200 million marks," Lin Wei said decisively.
"But"
"Nothing but" Lin Wei interrupted Schroeter's defense, "Two hundred million marks is the bottom line for this loan, but don't worry, I will communicate with the head of state to provide you with facilities in exchange for a loan from Deutsche Bank. Once the government is turned around I will definitely repay the money as soon as possible, and I can guarantee that even if Deutsche Bank takes out 200 million marks, it will not affect the turnover."
"Oh? Are you telling the truth? Will it not affect our bank's capital chain?" The reason why Schroter refused to agree is that once Lin Wei said it was done, Deutsche Bank would go bankrupt. Now of course Schroeter welcomes Lin Wei's proposal to solve the problem. ,
"Of course" Lin Wei promised, "My father Gustav is also a businessman. I will not do anything that is harmful to the interests of industry. I guarantee it in the name of a Junker" Lin Wei vowed said.
"Okay, I agree." Schroter was finally persuaded by Lin Wei.
After the matter was settled, Lin Wei and Schroeter drank beer in the pub and talked about the customs and customs of Germany, from the majestic building in Berlin to the famous store in Kurferstendamm shopping street, from Brandenburg The door talks about the statue of victory.
Berlin Central Station, Museum Island, the German Chancellery, the German Science and Technology Museum, the German National Museum, and the Reichstag were among the topics they discussed. Schroeter was also surprised by the breadth of knowledge this young man in his twenties had. . After finishing his third glass of beer, Linwei said he had something to do in the afternoon and said goodbye to Schroth, who did not try to persuade him to stay.
Two days later, the loan from Deutsche Bank was in place. Lin Wei came to the Chancellery with 200 million marks in his arms. Goering happened to be here as well. Although Lin Wei loaned 200 million from Deutsche Bank, it was still not enough for the expanding Air Force. , so after seeking advice from Hitler, Goering decided to 'borrow some money' from the Jews.
Take those tough measures against people in the economic circles. Although the Jews are contained by the Juncker consortium, a large part of Germany's economy is still in their hands. Lin Wei has not taken a tough attitude towards them, but this time, let them shed some blood. It should be.
So on the eve of 1935, in order to raise enough funds for the expansion of the Air Force, Goering used his power to start large-scale apportionments and donations.
In the long history of subjugation, the Jews have been discriminated against, so they have developed the idea of being with money. As a result, the donation work was relatively slow and procrastinated, and some companies even deliberately delayed doing so, which angered Goering. If donations cannot keep up, or the amount of donations is insufficient, the funds allocated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs alone will not be enough. If this continues, it will inevitably affect the expansion of the Air Force.
So Goering began to use his unique tactics. At some rallies or special meetings, he repeatedly emphasized the importance of donation and loudly called for donation for the sake of national security.
In order to complete the donation, Goering used intimidation methods, threatening to close down the companies that did not donate, or to nationalize the companies. The SS Gestapo Beb had already integrated them, and Goering could no longer reach out, so Goering talked to Heydrich several times, and finally, with Lin Wei's acquiescence, Heydrich agreed to dispatch a part of the Gestapo to help Goering raise funds.
Finally, with his threats, inducements and unremitting efforts, the donation work was carried out smoothly. For uncooperative businesses and shops, Goering ordered the Gestapo to threaten, intimidate and smash them, finally making the iron rooster Jews succumb.
With money, the promise to Deutsche Bank should also be fulfilled. Hitler made a special speech about this. He said that although Germany has made some achievements now, it is far from being a time to take it lightly. He called on the people to learn from the people of the Kingdom of Prussia. , taking diligence and thrift as a virtue, being an honorable worker, saving money, and using it when appropriate, he put forward the slogan of wanting cannons and bayonets instead of butter and cheese.
Lin Wei directed the SS to mobilize all manpower to publicize Hitler's speech and called on people to deposit their money in Deutsche Bank - the Germans' own bank. This was a thrilling trick of subcontracting. If an international organization did not like Deutsche Bank at this time, it would be easy. You can defeat it, but it simply didn't happen.
