683 We are not afraid of waste

When the lengthy meeting finally ended, Li Le yawned, stood up, said a few words to Brauchitsch about the battlefield ahead, and turned to leave.

For now, it seems that the offensive plan of the front line is still being performed according to the script he has prepared in advance, so he is not in the mood to interfere.

He had worked hard to perfect the details, and the strength of the German Army had been raised to the point of no return. If this can still go wrong, Li Le has only one way to commit suicide.

Compared with the front line where everything is still under control, Li Le is now focusing more on the domestic economy.

His presence in the Wolf's Den is entirely an attitude that shows that he cares about the situation on the front lines.

However, the focus of his current work has indeed shifted to domestic production and construction.

Coming from a country known as the infrastructure maniac in later generations, Li Le is very aware of the importance of infrastructure construction to a country.

Only by improving infrastructure can a country embark on a fast track in terms of comprehensive national strength and production capacity.

If the country does not have enough infrastructure, then everything is just divided, as scattered as handicraft workshops, which does not fit in the direction of future high-tech development.

Therefore, Li Le put the reinforced concrete for the construction of the Atlantic barrier into the infrastructure construction.

The construction of roads and railways, including power plants and other facilities, in Germany and in the areas where it invaded, was greatly developed.

In the second half of 1940, because of the arrival of Li Le, Germany built 30 more power stations and 100 kilometers of highways than ever before.

In the first quarter of 1941, while attacking Britain, the German army converted three military airfields into civilian use in the country, realizing the normalization of air transportation of letters and supplies.

This is far from the end, under the advocacy of Li Le, Germany expanded its own ports with France, Britain and the Mediterranean, and vigorously developed sea freight to reduce transportation costs.

Without the interference of British warships, the German fishing industry also flourished, filling a large number of food shortfalls and improving the living standards of the people.

"Ask for food from the sea" became Goebbels's new slogan, and countless British, German and French fishing boats went to sea to fish in the Mediterranean and Atlantic to produce canned fish for the whole of Europe.

This was even more encouraging news than the increase in grain production, and Hess had to transfer several prisoner of war camps to the production of canned fish in order to feed the total amount of food that had been brought about by the bumper harvest.

With food, especially meat, the people's lives are more abundant. Coupled with the fact that luxury consumer goods such as radios and automobiles were indeed being popularized in Germany, the dividends of the war in Germany began to be felt.

Except for the high death toll, everything else seems to be decreasing. The results of the April spot check showed that Führer Hitler's approval rating had rebounded significantly.

Of course, this was only a superficial ascension, and the split within the Junker aristocracy, and the birth of a new aristocratic force supporting the Führer, made the Führer's position more secure.

Walking into another conference room, Li Le saw the giants of various industries who had been waiting there for a long time.

This meeting is innumerably more important than the previous one, because it is a meeting that will determine the future focus of Germany's development in many directions.

Li Le walked to the edge of his seat, stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling that everyone who raised his arm and stood up and saluted could sit down, and then he sat down in the first place, and said, "You all have precious time, so I will also pick up the important ones." ”

He looked at the representative of Siemens and continued: "Siemens' latest communication system, all branches of the military are very optimistic, reducing the size and increasing the communication distance, is the next development direction. ”

At this point, he paused, and after organizing the language, he continued to talk about the key points in the back: "The military's procurement funds are enough for your company's next R&D expenses. You are Germany's hope for the future of the electronics industry, don't let me down......"

As early as a few months ago, when Li Le, the fake head of state, met with the chairman of Siemens, he sketched out an extremely bright future for Siemens.

After the end of the military victory, the motor ceased to be an important special military resource. Household appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators will become daily necessities to improve people's living standards.

As long as Siemens can eat half of the market share of these daily necessities, the company can be called the greatest company in the world.

And that's not even counting the TV production project that the Führer has been urging: with a new appliance like a television, Siemens can easily eat from a decade of old capital.

"We understand! We get it! The representative of Siemens nodded respectfully and said in agreement.

The meeting was attended by the most important figures in the various corporate consortia, and they were all told that they must respect and support the Führer.

So reverence is a given, and they are even willing to kiss the Führer's shoes reverently if necessary.

It's very simple, businessmen are so direct that whoever makes them rich, they are willing to give their votes to.

"German Energy Group...... Build more thermal power and build dams to increase the proportion of hydropower generation...... This is your most important task in the near future. Looking at several representatives of the energy sector, Li Le gave his own requirements.

Germany needs enough electricity, more and more electricity. With electricity, people can live a better life, and with electricity, they can build a dreamy scientific research environment.

Even in order to refine enough raw materials for nuclear weapons, a large amount of electricity is required to achieve the absence of electricity, and at least two-thirds of the glory of the twentieth century is lost.

Compared with the deep-pocketed United States, Germany's disadvantage in infrastructure construction is obvious. If you want to get ahead of the Americans in scientific research such as nuclear weapons, you need a huge amount of electrical support.

Li Le is in a hurry to develop infrastructure, and the core reason for this is here: there is not enough electricity, what are the four modernizations?

"At present, there are 40 thermal power projects being carried out simultaneously across the country, and we have enough labor, so the construction progress is very fast." Several officials of the German energy group answered Li Le's explanation.

Because of the war dividends, labor was almost free. Both Jews and British and French prisoners of war could use it, which allowed Germany to build infrastructure very quickly, even comparable to the real world of China in the nineties.

It is precisely because of this confidence that Li Le's ambition is greater: "Then start 20 more power plants at the same time!" We're not afraid to waste electricity! ”
