The Yingjiang loan is an unexpected blessing. In fact, even if the Yingjiang loan does not come through, Mainz plans to actively produce to save itself!

Although the social security in Hans' country has improved a lot due to the severe crackdown, it is similar to what Hindenburg said. Such stability can only be maintained for 2-3 years at most. When this period of time passes, the people's living conditions will deteriorate. If it cannot be improved, social security will also collapse!

Moreover, if the crackdown method is used again, the people who have already experienced it for the first time may take up arms and rise up to resist. By then, it will be difficult for the government to handle it, and it is very likely that the crackdown strategy will be enforced. It will form a situation where the government forces the people to rebel, leading to civil war and national division!

Therefore, the key to solving the unemployment problem of domestic workers is to create new jobs as soon as possible and absorb all these unemployed people in society!

"We are not the government. We can only decide on the affairs of the military, so what we can do is relatively limited. But even if our strength is limited, if we do our part well, we can help the country reduce some of the burden. This is enough!"

Mainz's attitude is very firm. Historically, during the economic crisis that swept the world in 1929, tens of millions of workers around the world were unemployed due to the unemployment frenzy caused by large-scale factory closures. These people lost their jobs and lost their jobs. Workers who have lost the ability to support their families have brought great damage and influence to all countries.

In order to solve the problem of unemployment among domestic workers, various countries have taken measures.

Xiaowu has adopted the method of expanding armaments and preparing for war, and Yingjiang has adopted the method of overhauling infrastructure.

The two countries of Japan and Gaul relied on the fact that they had a large number of colonies in their hands.

The method they adopted was very simple, which was to transfer conflicts to their colonies and increase the blood sucking from the colonies, so as to save themselves.

Gaul's approach has no reference for Hans at this time.

They have no colonies to transfer conflicts.

Therefore, the only objects they can learn from are Eagle Sauce and the historical Third Reich.

Therefore, Mainz plans to adopt a two-pronged approach! Way!

On the one hand, he wants to build large-scale infrastructure in the country to absorb a large number of labor forces and increase employment.

On the other hand, he increases the establishment of the SS so that more young people can join the SS. If this is the case, the number of unemployed young adults in society will drop a lot, and the pressure on the country will be much less!

"The Gauls built the Maginot Line of Defense in the border areas. We can follow their example and build the Siegfried Line of Defense in the border areas. These fortifications can not only create a large number of jobs, but also strategically confuse the Allies and make them relax. For our vigilance, this is killing two birds with one stone!"

At Mainz's request, President Hindenburg approved the construction plan of the Siegfried Line.

Of course, compared to the Gauls' almost luxurious Maginot Line, the Siegfried Line that Mainz planned to build The Philippine defense line can only be regarded as a poor man's version. His purpose is not to build a defense line, but to mine the minerals here and repair the defense line by the way.

Although the salary offered by the German army is not high, only 1,000 marks per person per day, about 1,000 marks per person per day. It is equivalent to 1 US dollar, which is only enough to buy basic rations for a family of four, but for those who are unemployed and have lost their income, this kind of income is already quite good. At least they don't have to go hungry.

It's just a Siegfried line of defense! Just to attract 300,000 laborers, this defense line will take about 2-3 years to build!

In addition, Mainz has also proposed a plan to transform Wilhelmshaven. The transformation of these two ports is for the future fleet, especially Prepared for the submarine force!

During World War II, the German submarines posed a huge threat to the Allied ships.

In order to destroy the German submarine force, the Allied forces repeatedly dispatched bombers to bomb the German military ports!

Due to insufficient preparation in the early stage, a large number of submarines were exposed, which was not conducive to their concealment and protection of the submarines.

As a result, many submarines were directly destroyed in the port during the bombing, which was very important to the German army.

Knowing this history, Mainz naturally wanted to avoid these things as much as possible, so he built very hidden special docks for submarines during the port expansion. These docks are often There are solid mountains as cover. When the submarine is dispatched, it can directly drive into the hidden dock under the mountain to avoid enemy air attacks!

The port expansion plan of Kiel Port and Wilhelmshaven can absorb approximately 60,000 workers. But this is still not enough!

Mainz proposed the third large-scale infrastructure project-the reconstruction of the Kiel Canal!

The Kiel Canal was built by the Second Empire in 1887 to connect the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.

The canal was built to connect Hans's east and west outlets to the sea, so that the German High Seas Fleet could avoid the Royal Navy's attacks, so that they could directly enter the other side of the Kiel Canal to fight without having to take a long way around.

The length of the canal is 98 kilometers, the width is 22 meters, and the water depth is 9 meters.

With this width and depth, only ships under 12,000 tons can sail.

Large ships cannot pass here due to the draft and width problems, so the strategy of this canal The goal was not achieved.

During World War I, the main threats faced by the navy came only from the surface and underwater. However, during World War II, they had to face threats from the surface, underwater and air, especially enemy fighters in the air. They threatened the fleet. The threat of Hans is much greater than the other two threats!

The locations of Hans's Kiel Port and Wilhelmshaven are not very good. They are too close to the mainland, and Hans's outlet to the sea is very short, which makes the enemy want to block it. Their access to the sea is very simple.

During World War I, the German High Seas Fleet could still hide in the port, but during World War II, even if they were hiding in the port, they would inevitably be attacked by enemy air attacks. The sister of the battleship Bismarck The ship Tirpitz was attacked by British bombers in its own port and eventually sank to the bottom of the sea!

Therefore, the German troops staying in their own military ports, especially the military ports in the North Sea, are no longer safe!

If you want to make yourself safer, you have to hide further, such as running to East Prussia, which is located in the Baltic Sea, far away from the homeland where the sun never sets. Unless the Allied bombers are strategic bombers, Otherwise, there is basically no threat to them!

When the German navy wants to attack, it only needs to sail from the east and come to the west to refuel. It will not be too affected!

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, the current Kiel Canal must be widened. Whether this is done now or in the future, it must be done anyway. In this case, it is better to do it in advance, which can just absorb a batch of Workers, help them find employment!

Mainz's future naval plan for the Third Reich is to have 50,000-ton battleships and 80,000-ton aircraft carriers, so the depth of the Kiel Canal must be expanded to more than 13 meters, and the width must be at least more than 150 meters!

This project is very large and will require at least US$150 million if completed!

Such a large amount of money, if it were in the past, the military would really not be able to come up with it!

However, as luck would have it, the 100 million pound king's ransom previously extorted from the Romanians came in handy at this time!

One hundred million pounds equals approximately $425 million, enough to cover the cost of expanding the Kiel Canal.

There is even a surplus. Even if another sum of money is allocated to build the Siegfried Line, there will still be plenty!

After doing all these things, there was even excess, so Mainz simply acquired the Daimler Benz Company in the name of the military!

After all, after buying the oil field in Romaniya, Hans's domestic automobile industry will definitely develop tremendously. At this time, by integrating it with BMW, Hans's automotive technology strength will be the best in the world!

Wouldn't it be wonderful to integrate Hansi's domestic automobile industry, then mass-produce it, sell it back to the British Isles and North America, and make money that can't be spent on Heyingjiang?
