Chapter 68 Volkswagen

After receiving the news, Boscher set off for Berlin, bumping all the way, he met Hitler.

"Prime Minister, it's a pleasure to meet you." Boscher said to Hitler, and then he saw the person beside him, and he was even more delighted: "Colonel Cyric, it's a great pleasure to meet you, you are the pride of our Germany. !"

"Dr. Poscher, we want to discuss the issue of the national car, which will be closely related to the lives of our German people," Ciric said.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Cyric, but when he heard that he was going to summon Bosher, Cyric was still involved. Of course, he knew this doctor, and he was also famous in later generations.

In peacetime, cars are designed, in wartime, tanks can be designed!

Although the electric tank designed by Dr. Poschel was not put into actual combat, as a genius in mechanical design, Dr. Poscher's role is unreplaceable!

Now, this is the first meeting between Cyric and Dr. Boscher. The person in front of him is relatively thin, with some bald hair and a thick beard under his nose. He looks quite shrewd.

"I have learned the purpose of summoning me, so I have brought my design." Dr. Boscher said, nearly twenty copies of the design drawings were given to Hitler in front of him.

Twenty drawings! Boscher had long known about Hitler's plan for the National Automobile during his campaign, so he was waiting for this time to come!

Hitler looked at them one by one. When he saw one of them, he couldn't let go. As an artist, Hitler liked the appearance of this kind of car.

Beetle!

Yes, what Hitler saw was the Beetle! The appearance is smooth, cute and full of the characteristics of the era, which Hitler liked very much!

"Dr. Boscher, the design of this picture is quite good." Hitler said: "I hope our national car looks like this."

Hitler was satisfied.

"Okay, then we at Porsche will do our best to develop this kind of car," Poscher said. "But our company is not big enough right now to take on the task of producing this kind of car."

The current Porsche company is still a small company. It mainly builds some sports cars by hand. The real national car is to be mass-produced, which requires a huge factory building and a large number of workers.

"What about other car companies?" Hitler asked.

"Other companies, I'm afraid they won't take it. After all, the profit of this kind of car is too low." Dr. Poschel said.

With the price of a motorcycle, what profit is there to build a car?

"I think, let's build a car company in the form of state-owned, specializing in the production of this kind of national car." Ciric on the side made a suggestion: "In this way, even if it does not make money, at least it can provide thousands of dollars to the country. 10,000 jobs."

Hitler's Workers' Party was originally under the banner of opposing privatization. Now, it is completely acceptable to build a state-owned factory and build cars for the people, even if it loses money!

"Okay, then we will build an automobile industry base in Stuttgart, so that everyone can drive a car. This company is called Volkswagen!" Hitler said.

Volkswagen Corporation! In China in later generations, this car is an absolute cosmic car, but most people will not know that this car company was actually created under Hitler's hands!

Now, it was established under the suggestion of Cyric, and it was several years earlier than in history!

Almost just a few days after Hitler's election to the German presidency, Volkswagen officially broke ground! Although the car is still in the trial production stage, the model on display has already excited many German people, and the Beetle has become popular in Germany in an instant!

While the German people were cheering for the Beetle, no one noticed that their upper echelons were slowly changing.

The previous Minister of Defense, Glerner, has left the German political arena with President Hindenburg, and the new one is also General Blomberg, who was also born in the Junkers officer corps!

General Blomburg was also quite surprised by this appointment. Two years ago, he was slandered by Schleicher's tricks and left the top management. Now, he can actually return to the center of power as the Minister of Defense!

Moreover, what makes him even more delighted is that Marshal Hindenburg is also quite supportive of him!

When Marshal Hindenburg stepped down, he also promoted Blomburg's rank to Infantry Admiral.

Moreover, according to the Weimar Constitution, the Minister of Defense of the cabinet is prohibited from serving on active duty, and Blomberg is an exception, and he was chartered by Hindenburg to serve as Minister of Defense in the capacity of commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht.

This was the last thing Hindenburg did before the end of his presidency. Hindenburg had his own plans. He was very satisfied with Blomburg, who was born in the Junkers officer corps. He wanted to use Blomburg's army. Served to balance Hitler's power in the cabinet.

However, Hindenburg obviously made a wrong calculation. He had no idea that Blomberg had long been brainwashed and was completely on the side of the Workers' Party.

Moreover, just after Hitler officially formed a cabinet and appointed Blomburg as the Minister of Defense, he was also promoted to a first-level military rank and promoted Blomburg to a general!

Blomberg is grateful to Hitler, and at the same time, he is also full of confidence. With Hitler in power, as the new government begins to run, a new major event is about to begin.

Expand the army!

It is shameful to have a country without defense. An army of 100,000 is simply not enough for Germany to maintain its own national security. Therefore, it is imperative to expand the army!

First of all, the army will be expanded to 150,000!

After the end of the first World War, Sickert had already laid a solid foundation for the army. Now, it is quite easy for the German army to expand.

"Our troops, in the process of expansion, must pay attention to the armored troops." Although the rank is not high enough, Cyric is already the number two figure in the party. Now after Hitler became president, Cyric has also become Hitler. The right-hand man can participate in this level of meeting.

"Our factory is about to start producing new tanks," Cyric said. "So, the formation of our armored force is imminent. I propose that we set up a special armored division."

When expanding the army, in addition to expanding the original army, it is necessary to set up a special armored division! This was planned by Cyric long ago and with Hitler's consent.

In particular, the Panther tank is finally going to start small batch production.
