The Third Reich: I seized power

In July 1933, the weather was already hot.

The entire Weimar country was also in full swing.

Large-scale infrastructure construction has led to the recovery of the domestic economy.

The unemployment rate is constantly falling, and although the living standards of the people are still very low, most of the bad people can fill their stomachs. This is already valuable in an international environment where the economic crisis is raging and all countries are wailing.

More importantly, the self-confidence of the people has been greatly improved, and everyone is full of confidence in the future.

It has been half a year since Hess came to power.

Through a series of policies, the domestic economy began to grow. At the same time, it also made his prestige in the country increase day by day. Now, it is no worse than even Marshal Hindenburg, only in terms of the influence of the army, it is far inferior to Marshal Hindenburg.

However, as the target that Hess must control, the army naturally cannot be let go.

At the end of July, Hess received senior officials of the Wehrmacht Army and Navy at the Prime Minister’s House.

The Chief of Defense General General Bromberg, General Brauchitsch, General Bock, as well as General Raeder and General Dönitz on the naval side.

“Generals, everyone must be able to feel that our country is recovering rapidly. I believe that soon we will be able to get out of the economic crisis! Hess had a confident smile on his face.

Now he not only holds heavy power. At the same time, there are also beautiful people.

It can be said that he wakes up the power of the world and lies drunk on the knees of a beauty.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, we have all understood your administrative measures, and they are indeed admirable!” General Bromberg was very impressed.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Although it is still difficult now. However, everyone believes that it will get better and better! General Raeder also said.

Hess nodded: “What I have done is not enough, I will work harder to make our country strong.” However, economic strength alone is not enough. Do not forget that we still owe the Allies a large amount of war reparations. So, we need to have strong armed forces. At that time, we will be able to say no to the Entente. As for the reparations, they don’t want to get a single mark! ”

Hess’s view is undoubtedly very shocking.

This makes it clear that he no longer wants to fulfill the Versailles Treaty.

However, this is undoubtedly very appetizing to these generals.

As soldiers, which of them is not resigned to the defeat of the last war? Want to tear up the Versailles Contract.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, if we openly tear up the Versailles Treaty, I am afraid that this will cause a strong backlash from the entire Entente Group.” General Bromberg warned.

Although, he was tempted to disobey the Treaty of Versailles and re-establish a strong army. But he knew it would be a big risk.

“It’s true that there are some risks. However, I believe that in the event of another economic crisis, the Allies will not dare to do anything to us at this time. Of course, all our actions must also be cautious and as confidential as possible! Hess looked serious.

The generals’ expressions were also very serious, and they knew very well that Hess was taking a risk, and even gambling.

If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But again, they simply cannot refuse to expand their armed forces.

This is a temptation for all.

The total strength of the Wehrmacht is only 100,000 people, which is really bullying.

The inability of the Navy to have large surface ships and submarines has humiliated them, once powerful and even daring to challenge the Royal Navy.

As for the Air Force, it no longer exists, and this is a branch of the military that the Allies explicitly forbid them to have.

“From now on, we are secretly expanding our army. Increase the total strength of the army from 100,000 to 300,000. The army began to form armored units, equipped with heavy artillery. The Navy began secretly building large warships and submarines. In addition, the Air Force needs to be rebuilt. In future wars, the air force will be an indispensable main force. Hess made his own request.

The generals looked at each other and expanded the total strength to 300,000 people, which undoubtedly made the army a big step forward.

Although far from comparable to the Gaul kingdom, at least the Flanders kingdom oppressed.

It is simply a shame for a small country with a population of just over 8 million to dare to wantonly insult a large country with a population of 66 million.

You know, if you talk about the number of people, the current Weimar country is definitely the second largest in Europe after the hairy bear.

There are only 41 million in the Gallic Kingdom, and the Empire of the Sun Never Sets is also only more than 46 million.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, we agree to secretly expand our army. But if the Allies react violently, we will stop immediately. Now we do not have the strength to confront them. General Bromberg said.

Hess nodded, not forcing his demands.
