On the afternoon of September 3, 1942, the sun was unswervingly releasing its vitality, but the test ground of the BadBerka Armored Soldier School near Eisenach of the Third Reich had entered a completely different state.

The surroundings are full of guard posts, and from time to time there will be Sd.Kfz.223 wheeled armored vehicles passing by the streets. At major intersections, there are also military policemen holding MP38s, wearing "dog signs" and focusing on checking special passes. If someone can bend down from the air and observe carefully, they will also find that temporary machine gun bunkers are deployed at critical intersections. The bright light shining in the sun MG-42 machine gun can instantly tear all bad intentions to pieces.

This momentum is too strong, and you can see that a big shot has come to the test site at a glance. Originally, Hoffman didn't want to mobilize so many troops, but since he was assassinated by bombs at the Eagle Nest Base Camp and cracked the conspiracy of the treason group, the leaders of the KMT Party paid special attention to his safety. With Bauman's insistence, relevant security and defense measures have been strengthened unprecedentedly, and Major Genshe's responsibility has become increasingly important.

Sper, who was very excited but exhausted, struggled to walk down from the Mercedes-Benz 770 sedan. From midnight two days ago, the Third Reich had fully moved into the wartime system after the general mobilization. All industrial enterprises, especially military industrial enterprises, began to transform from "one shift system" to "three shift system". In order to coordinate relations between all parties, especially to ensure the supply of energy, raw materials and other daily necessities of key enterprises, and to make the train schedules simultaneously update and adapt to the new economic rhythm, the head of economics made great efforts. He didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights, and finally could only take a quick nap in the car. When he was woken up by the adjutant, he felt that his head was still dizzy.

After Hoffman launched the wartime system and clearly stated that the Ministry of Arms governed the entire military industry, the management rights of the core arms production were gradually taken over to the Ministry of Arms: After the aviation armed forces reorganization case, the production rights of the Air Force Equipment Department were transferred to the Ministry of Arms; a few days ago, the right to determine the priority of naval equipment production was also handed over. In addition, the tank arms reorganization case that Sperer had forcibly passed by betting at the beginning, now the Ministry of Arms has basically controlled the production rights of various equipment. Without his consent, a tank or an aircraft could not be produced. He thus became the leader of the German economic circle, not only in the eyes of various economic tycoons, but also from an unknown private construction.

The architect has become a hot big man, and his political status is also increasing rapidly. After Goring's fall, the outside world has called Himmler, Goebbels and Sperer, the head of state, the three giants of the empire. His status in the party has even vaguely surpassed the veteran foreign minister Ribin Tropp and the party affairs chief Martin Bowman. The Mercedes-Benz 770 he is currently riding in was given by Mercedes-Benz to please him. Originally, the other party wanted to give him the top 770K. Considering that it was the head of state, Sperer wisely refused - his popularity was too great, and the head of state may not mind what car he was in, but he did not want to provide others with a handle to attack him.

It feels good to hold power, but Sperer has a clear understanding. He clearly knows the origin of his own rights and status, and also gives him a reward: not only does it implement the production tasks assigned by Hoffman himself, but also tries to take time to accompany him whenever Hoffman goes out to inspect the military and industrial production. After learning that the Head of State had to personally participate in the new tank experiment and the finalization technical analysis meeting, he followed him regardless of his fatigue. Although old-school politicians and conservative officers called him the "vocal insect" of the Head of State behind his back, he was too lazy to care and only smiled contemptuously.

Looking at Spel, whose face was pale and blood-covered, Hoffman said with concern: "Your face doesn't look very good. Maybe you should have a good rest?"

Spel smiled bitterly and shook his head, resolutely said: "Since you have assigned me the right to produce the army, I must do my best to do this job well so that my body can hold on."

"The wartime system is not advancing smoothly?" Hoffman stopped and asked sensitively. He knew that many people were dissatisfied with Sperer's control of the entire economic power, and they were in conflict openly and secretly. Even Bauman would comment on Sperer from time to time, but this was a person he personally selected and proved by history, and it was also the authority of the head of state. Hoffman would never allow any slander or waver.

"There is a little difficulty, but I believe it can be overcome." Sperer glanced at everyone, not only saw Marshal Kettle and others in the Supreme Command, but also saw Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of Porsche, and Dr. Kurt Arnold, the representative of the Henschel Factory, and others. He smiled and nodded to them, while trying to answer in a plain tone.

"The wartime system must be strictly promoted. Anyone who interferes with and destroys the wartime system, no matter who is, no matter what position he has or what position he has in the past, can ask Comrade Himmler to cooperate in handling it. If he is not able to deal with it, please report it to me directly." Hoffman has said this several times in private, and now he is putting it back on the topic of the past to save Sperer in front of these industrial tycoons and senior officers.

Everyone was shocked. The head of state said this was not a loss. Everyone had a good news: Hjalmar Schacht, who was originally the Minister of Economy, now the cabinet was in charge of ministers and had a close relationship with the industry, was arrested a few days ago for treason. It was the head of state who issued the order. Himmler and Sper played a role in fueling the fire in the process. The obvious reason was that Schacht was secretly and secretly.

Some industrialists were gathered to resist the general mobilization and opposed the military industrial production control of the Ministry of Arms. In fact, Schacht provided funds to the conspiracy group through secret channels. At the same time, the arrested were Dr. Gedler, the mayor of Leipzig. Walther Funk, who served as Minister of Economic Affairs, had a good relationship with Schacht and had a sympathy towards him, tried to plead with the head of state through Goebbels, but was repeatedly scolded by the latter as "confused" and never dared to say more.

"Thank you very much for your support." After the two of them sang and played the double act, a large group of people finally flocked into the conference room.

The Sixth Division of the Weapon Testing Department of the Army Weapons Bureau was in charge of the situation introduction, one was Colonel Thomale, a technical officer, and the other was Professor Eberan of the Technical University of Dresden. These two were also the main technical leaders of the prototype tiger tank to go to the wolf's den for the first demonstration on April 20.

"Col. Tomal, Professor Abán, I remember you..." Hoffman shook hands with the two enthusiastically, "I have read the report you submitted, it is a very valuable report."

"My Head of State." Colonel Tomal did not expect that the Head of State would still remember himself, and he was so excited that he was at a loss. However, Professor Aiban, with silver hair, had seen the world and was in a peaceful mood. After hearing Hoffman's evaluation, the eyes behind his small round eyes flashed with brilliance. "Dear Head of State, thank you very much for your affirmation of our report, but I am curious that you have read all the boring report carefully?"

"I..." Hoffman looked puzzled. As the professor said, the report was a bit long and boring. However, because he made a clear comparison and comment on the products of the two companies, Porsche and Henschel, he was very impressed by this and was sure that he had finished reading it. It was because he had different opinions and requirements on the development ideas of the Tiger tank, otherwise he would not have asked for another technical verification meeting. But what was the professor's words hinted at?

The technocrat Colonel Tomal did not expect Professor Aboan to embarrass the head of state at this moment. His old face turned red and his head was sweating profusely. It could be seen that he wanted to stop the professor around him from talking further, but the latter was obviously unmoved and continued: "Dear Head, I have no intention of offending you. I just heard rumors that the Ministry of Arms seems to be interested in ordering 100 test vehicles from Porsche first?"

When Hoffman heard this, his face turned red with a "brush" and Dr. Porsche's face behind him was also very bad. Now Hoffman knows the crux of the problem: because Dr. Porsche has a close relationship with Hitler, and he is the chief expert of the German Tank Development Committee and the chief consultant of the tank issue, he is very influential in the upper level - the doctor not only plans to produce 100 tank chassis alone before the finalization, but also bypasses the weapons bureau and directly gives the Krupp factory a contract to produce 100 upper bodies and turrets in the name of Porsche. The intention is obvious, and I believe that this contract will fall into the hands of Porsche. Hitler approved it without hesitation after receiving a call from Dr. Porsche.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became embarrassing.
