Chapter 17 Before the War (1)

It's really just like this. Without a strong heart, it's really difficult for the tank to develop rapidly. The thickness of the armor, the design of the turret and the speed of the hour all depend on the powerful heart to support it.

"Maybe...it would be better to start designing and developing engines first?" Xu Yang kept thinking about it on the way home. He thought that a good engine would take time to design and research, and developing mature welding technology might be more practical.

He asked unconsciously: "You said, is it feasible to use the principles of the Navy's turbine engine to design a tank's piston engine?"

Well... Xu Yang found out that he seemed to have asked the wrong person.

When they returned to the Hamburg estate, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, just for dinner. Liliana gave the newlywed couple a hearty dinner.

During the meal, Liliana kept asking Xu Yang about her well-being. She found that her son was a little absent-minded and even took the wrong knife and fork many times. She couldn't help but ask: "Child, do you have any worries?"

Xu Yang was originally thinking with his head down, but he raised his head after hearing this, "Mother, what did you say?"

Liliana sighed. She felt that her child was not like before when she grew up, and was more and more like her husband Hal, and even thinking about the problem during her meal time, "Hmm? Nothing, eat."

Xu Yang saw the crow's feet at the corner of Liliana's eyes. The young and kind mother had grown old unknowingly. He decided to tell her his troubles, just like when she was a child, to have a heart-to-heart relationship with her mother. He said: "I went to see the tank production line this afternoon."

Liliana smiled and encouraged Xu Yang to continue talking.

Xu Yang put down the knife and fork, let Lily wipe the corners of her mouth, and then said in a worried tone: "It's not satisfactory. Although it's not behind, it's much different from what your son thinks. I'm wondering if it lacks a powerful heart."

Liliana and Lily didn't understand these, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still encouraged Xu Yang to say it.

Xu Yang simply stood up and waved his hand, "If we can develop a good engine, not only tanks can develop better, but even the people's livelihood construction of aircraft, civilian cars, etc. can benefit!"

Liliana made her own suggestions: "Maybe you should have a good talk with your father."

"Father?" Xu Yang looked happy, but he quickly calmed down, "I'm afraid it's difficult. You know, my father just served as the Minister of Finance, and there are so many things to be done. Look... I even came back once, but he didn't come back to have a meal with me."

"Forgive him..." Liliana walked over and hugged Xu Yang's shoulders, "Your father is silently enduring for your career. Silly child, don't think I know nothing if I just ask. Hal has been raising funds since you were eight years old and trying to win over supporters. He is all for you, do you know? Child, we..."

Lily also walked over, and the three of them hugged each other. In fact, there were some things that needed to be said too much...

Late at night, Xu Yang was still writing suggestions on the table. In two days, his rest day would end. Before returning to the military camp, he would have to write some of his suggestions into a report.

Xu Yang understood that history cannot be promoted by one person. If possible, he just wanted to write about future development ideas, so that the bosses in front of him could judge what would be beneficial to the development of Germany. He was not a superman, and could do everything by himself. The sleeping lion had woken up. What he wanted to do was to try his best to avoid the lion repeating the same mistakes.

...

On this day, on 23rd, 1932, the negotiations between the KMT and various political parties officially ended. The main purpose of the negotiations was to determine the composition of the cabinet and the division of power. The KMT and the Central Party and the Social Democratic Party formed a tripartite cabinet, with the power stratification of about 721, which is another product of political compromise.

The Kuomintang occupied great power, but did not control everything.

The next day, the government cabinet issued a draft, which was voted by Congress to pass the "People's Livelihood Plan", which solved the unemployment problem in Germany and stimulated domestic industrial development. One of the chapters of "Opening Foreign Investment to Provide Preferential Taxes" is very popular among international investors. Investors from all over the world, led by American capitalists, will unconsciously import blood to Germany.

In the same month, Larry Bethrich, the Foreign Minister of the Third Reich of Germany, was ordered to go to Budapest, the capital of Hungary, to carry out diplomatic activities. This time Germany will test the possibility of the Hungarian government establishing alliances.

Hitler's diplomatic adviser Joachim von Ribbentrop went to London as an ambassador without a man, and negotiated with the UK the "English-German Naval Agreement" to strengthen the German navy. If it is successfully completed, he will serve as the German diplomatic ambassador to the UK for a term of two years.

German head of state Hitler made a series of appointments and proclamations; formed the German Air Force, Hermann Goering was appointed chief of the Air Force and also served as the Minister of State Ordnance.

Hitler fulfilled his promise to Goring, which made Goring very happy. He worked harder to build the air force and win over the chaebols in order to obtain financial support.

...

At this time, Gorein was in Harr's office and asked that the Ministry of Finance should give the Air Force sufficient funds.

"My Air Force Department has nothing but the old-fashioned aircraft left in World War I! I urgently request that you - Hal von Stark, my deputy head of state, give strong financial support to the Air Force!"

Hal nodded seriously, "I know. But... you, don't be in a hurry, we need to take it slowly."

Goering was very anxious, "Why? You must not take your time, Germany should have a strong air force!"

Hal rubbed the a little painful sun** and took out a large stack of thick documents from the drawer, "Money! There are so many places in our country that need money. Look..." He pulled out a document with a red seal, "People's livelihood construction has occupied 26% of the funds, 1% of the army construction, and 6% of the research fund for the navy... God! I'm about to collapse!"

Goring didn't see it. He didn't want to understand this at all. He only cared about how much support his Air Force could get from the Ministry of Finance. "My Deputy Head of State, I just want to know how much support my Air Force can get from you!" He raised his head high.

Hal was stunned for a moment, "Hmm? In a few years?"

"How many years?" Gorene was almost out of patience, "How many years? God! How many years!?"

Hal asked: "Are you the Minister of Ordnance?"

Now Golin was stunned and nodded.

Hal found that he was almost laughing and shouted: "Then you should go back to the office first to take a look at the documents!!!"

"File?" Goring had hardly looked at any file seriously. "What file did you say?"

Hal declared a collapse and slapped the table angrily, "Production wiring construction, synthetic oil refining research, engine research, production control research..." He picked up the document and wanted to smash it into Goring's head, "Hermann Goring! I will complain to the head of state!!!"

"Shake" Gorene quickly stood up and pushed away the chair and escaped from the office in a panic. He was not an idiot. He understood the importance of studies to air force construction very well. Thinking about the German Air Force flying a "simple" flying coffin against the Allies during World War I, he felt scared.

He decided to accept Hal's explanation and wait for the technology to mature, and produce excellent aircraft equipment for him - Hermann Goring's Air Force. However, before that, he had to ask for funds to be allocated to build an aviation force first! Why can Master Goring's Air Force be a decoration?

Himmler was not idle either. He was appointed Minister of Security of the Third German Reich by Hitler. From the day he served, those opponents began to suffer.

Previous opponents of the KSCP had intercepted their channels for going abroad. Many times, they made two preparations: prepare a poison for suicide, or change their positions to support the KSCP.

Himmler's secret police often hold a document in his hand, violently push open a certain person's door, and then shout: "You are charged with convictions of national crimes, and we will arrest you according to law!"

Prisons everywhere were overcrowded, and Himmler's subordinate Reinhard Heidrich made a crazy suggestion: establish concentration camps and put those opponents into concentration camp supervision.
