The latest chapter of "The Battle of Resurrection in the Third Reich"~ The domain name of this site: the shorthand homophony of "Junzi Juyitang", easy to remember! A good-looking novel strongly recommends: Lively Xiaosheng, the founding Queen Mother Chronicle, Jun Jiuling, rebirth, the national male god, the emperor's strategy, the army king instructor, the greedy female photographer, one night, the chief executive is too dangerous, close agents face this age every time The head of the empire who was 22 years younger than himself, Walter Funk felt like a erroneous student who met with the dean. n∈n∈, although the temperature in the room is cool and pleasant, there is still a gleam of sweat on Funke's forehead.
The Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs of the Empire is well aware of the behavior of the apostle of God in front of him. Speaking of his personal relationship with the head of state, he has always been good. When he was a small press spokesperson in the Nazi party, he had Ted established a friendship. He used to like this boy who usually hides in the dark. He especially admired the other's quick thinking and extraordinary language appeal.
But now the status of the two parties has been very different from the past. Funk has changed from the original government minister to the deputy minister, while the previous partners have stood on the top of power. In just a few months, the Nazis The changes in the party now seem like dreams.
In the past, high-pitched colleagues fell from the horse, and the scale of arrests even surpassed the purge of the Roma stormtrooper that year, and they were even more brutal in terms of brutality. In those days, dozens or even hundreds of people were convicted every day, and most of them were sentenced to death. Funke felt that perhaps it would be more appropriate to use the term massacre to describe the situation during that period.
The fifty-year-old Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs of the Empire has already collapsed. He is short and stout, with a huge beer belly, and looks like the standard Prussian businessman described in satirical novels. same. He was originally a descendant of a merchant family. He was born in Trekna in East Prussia. When he was young, he studied at the Humboldt University in Berlin and the University of Leipzig, focusing on law, philosophy and economics.
Fonke had a brief and painful experience in the army during the last war, and was eventually dismissed by the army for physical reasons. After the war, he looked for it in the then right-wing financial newspaper "Berlin Stock Exchange" As an editor, he has been exposed to nationalist ideology since then and established his political beliefs for the rest of his life.
When Hitler’s Nazi Party emerged from a large group of chaotic right-wing parties, the passionate mustache leader made him feel bright. Every word of Hitler seemed to touch Funk’s heart. So he resolutely quit his well-paid editing job and joined the Nazi Party, which was still in the entrepreneurial stage.
Because of his previous work experience in financial newspapers, Funk has become one of the few dual talents in the party who understands both propaganda and economics. After working in the party for a period of time, Hitler also recognized his outstanding talents and began to entrust him with important tasks. He once served as the head of the Nazi National Enlightenment and Propaganda Department, which is now Goebbels' position. In fact, his interest has always been on the economy. He served as the chairman of the Nazi Economic Policy Committee for a period of time, and also served as the chief representative of the Nazi economy. When Schacht resigned from the post of Minister of Economy, he got his wish. He has always expected the German Minister of Economy.
Actually, he should be Hitler's person, but due to a blunder, he and Reinhard von Steide forged a friendship. When the two kings were fighting, he firmly chose to stand by Hitler's side, so when the victory was clear, he immediately suffered a prison disaster. He was taken away from home by the SS and placed in a special military prison. Under house arrest for three days.
These three dark and terrifying days gave him a new understanding of von Steid's ability, and deeply realized that once he lost the asylum of the leader, he would be worse than a street vendor. At that time, von Steide only needed to give an order to take away his power, honor, property and family, as well as everything he had, including the career he had struggled for more than ten years. When Rosenberg was dragged away by the firing squad, he was locked up in the first cell in the corridor, and Ribbentrop lived diagonally across the street. He still often thinks of the beaten-up picture of the godfather of Nazi thought. A face that is not look good.
Fortunately, Xu Jun values his personal abilities. Together with the friendship he forged before, Funk is considered to be the type of person who can be won. However, the Minister of Economy cannot continue to do it. His Nazi wartime economic theory is okay to fool Hitler. Xu Jun is well aware of the shortcomings, but it is not Xu Jun to put a known talent aside. Habit, so he treated Ribbentrop in the same way that he dropped Funk by half a rank and retained him as the Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs.
"My head of state, the data will not deceive people. According to the report we made this quarter, Minister Shakhter and I have the same opinion. If we implement this plan, we can reduce the deficit to 100% within a year. Thirty." Funke respectfully reported to Xu Jun standing at the conference table.
"The total economic volume of the empire has not changed, and the imbalance of revenue and expenditure continues to grow. We need to expand the scale of trade and control the output of some enterprises." Schacht added that the minister of economy is sitting at the moment. On the first seat on the right hand side of Jun, sitting opposite was the Minister of Labor of the Empire.
After Hitler's fall, Schacht was renamed by Xu Jun as Minister of Economy of the Empire. In fact, he clearly refused at the beginning.
He didn’t choose to resign as minister because of conflicts with Hitler’s ideas, as the outside world believed. In fact, he found that the loopholes in the Nazi economy were getting bigger and bigger. , So this shrewd old fox deliberately had a dispute with Hitler, and took the opportunity to decisively get rid of the black pot.
He was an expert in international finance and trade, and he also admired the state's interference in economic production. This kind of thinking seemed contradictory, but it was very consistent with the actual situation in Germany at that time. Under the leadership of Schacht, the German economy has experienced a blowout. He used proficient financial means to obtain tens of billions of valuable foreign exchange from investors around the world.
However, Hitler invested a large amount of foreign exchange and loans into military production. Although it seemed that Germany’s prosperity appeared in the short term, Schacht clearly realized that this temporary prosperity was actually just a kind of The illusion of deceiving the people. It is true that military production can make a lot of profits in a short period of time. The problem is that arms cannot be produced continuously without a limited amount. It is also impossible for a country's economy to rely solely on arms manufacturing to support it. The military industry provides a large number of jobs, and all the products produced are paid by the state. The backing of all this is the state finances. Once there is a financial problem, the entire industrial chain will immediately collapse. At that time, the German fiscal expenditures, In fact, most of the money comes from national debt and overseas investment and loans. Sooner or later, the money will be repaid.
Then Germany’s four-year plan fully exposed Hitler’s intentions. His goal was to build a self-sufficient society that can continue to survive in a closed world. Under what circumstances will Germany have this need? There is no doubt that it is a **** and cruel war. Hitler is preparing for the goal of continuing to fight if Germany is completely blocked after the war breaks out.
The Nazi economic policy will completely destroy the previously obtained results, and Schacht is unable to oppose it, so he decides to find a way to get out of this bottomless trap before the consequences occur. In the end, Shah Te successfully escaped, replacing Funk who was thrown down and standing beside him.
Germany was actually close to bankruptcy in 39 years~IndoMTL.com~The fiscal deficit reached 20 billion marks, and the 30-billion-dollar national debt sold before is about to mature in 40 years, which also makes Regardless of the fact that the army's preparations for war had not been completed, Hitler took the risk of launching a series of foreign wars, regardless of the opposition of a group of people around him, because he urgently needed the looted spoils to make up for the economic deficit.
Xu Jun took a lot of scheming when he invited Shahet back. He wrote a letter to Shahe himself. First, he used a lot of data and intelligence to prove the crisis facing Germany. Persuaded Schacht to give up his grudge against Hitler and the Nazis. Xu Jun claimed that if Schacht is willing to serve as Minister of Economy again, he promised that the other party will have a wider space than ever to display his abilities, because he is no longer a German Empire, but the entire European Union headed by Germany. .
Xu Jun promised that Schacht could use his talents to the fullest, except for key national policies, he would not interfere at will. Schacht will become the economic policy planner and leader of the European Union. By then, the entire world will be his stage, and the powerful empire will be his solid backing.
Xu Jun also told him that Germany is preparing to jointly establish a European bank with European countries, and Schacht will be assigned to represent Germany in this matter, and he will be appointed as the first president after the establishment. .
Not so much that Schacht was moved by the sincerity of the new head of state, it was better to say that he could not resist the temptations in the letter at all, so the Minister of Economy did not hesitate to swallow the bait thrown by Xu Jun. Two days later, he carried his leather bag to the office building of the Ministry of Economy of the Empire.
