Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

Such a communicator would be extremely good, but how many of them can be produced?

Lin Shangzhou didn't know when titanium was officially mass-produced, but he was sure that it was achieved after World War II. The output of titanium in that era was not very high. It is not ruled out that the development of the magic force has promoted the development of the metallurgical industry and increased the output of titanium, but no matter how much it is increased, it will not be that high.

Before titanium could be mass-produced without pressure, the number of such communicators was scarce and the cost was high.

So in order to improve the efficiency of the communicator, Lin Shangzhou thought of a method - signal base station.

He was not sure whether it would work or not, but Harvot definitely knew whether it would work or not. It was enough for him to know whether it was feasible or not, and Lin Shangzhou himself didn't care.

Then he told Havot about his ideas. After listening to Lin Shangzhou's words, Havot fell into deep thought.

Lin Shangzhou did not disturb him and let him think there by himself.

A few minutes later, Harvot looked up at Lin Shangzhou and said, "Although it's a little difficult, I will try my best. If I need any help, I will contact you."

Hearing this, Lin Shangzhou's eyes immediately lit up. If Havot could build a signal base station, the coordination of Germany's future troops would really be a hundred years ahead of other countries, and he would also be able to make more money in the civilian sector.

"Thank you very much, if you need any help please contact me!"

Lin Shangzhou said excitedly that if Havot was not a man, he would have hugged him and kissed him now. In his eyes, there were three luckiest things that had happened to him so far. The first was the considerate girls around him, the second was meeting Goebbels, and the third was picking up Havot!

It remains to be seen whether his current status would be compromised if he had not picked up Havot, but his wallet would definitely be compromised.

After that, Lin Shangzhou left after chatting with Yu Havot about some other things. Now there is one more thing to add to April’s plan.

Chapter 256 Asking the Military for Someone

The car stopped outside the gate of the Volbeck family. Lin Shangzhou opened the door and got out. He looked at the building in front of him, and scenes from the past emerged in his mind. At that time, he was just an ordinary citizen, but now he has become the chancellor of the German Empire.

"Things change all the time..."

After a light sigh, Lin Shangzhou came to the gate and greeted Simon who was working on the lawn inside. Simon, who was working with his head down, stood up and walked towards the gate after hearing Lin Shangzhou's call. Simon certainly knew what had happened in Germany. He and his friends were extremely shocked when they learned that the Chinese who had come to the general's mansion in the past had become the prime minister.

Later they also learned that the general was appointed Minister of Defense, so he didn't have to guess that the prime minister came here to see the general.

Bode stood beside Lin Shangzhou and looked at Simon who was walking towards him, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "There really are black people in General Volbeck's family... I have never seen black people before."

"This is Simon. There are several other black people besides him. They were General Volbeck's subordinates in Africa. After the war, they voluntarily gave up their officer jobs in Africa and followed the general back to Germany to be his servants."

Lin Shangzhou said to Bode, he looked at Bode sideways, feeling a little curious, he didn't know what Bode thought of black people.

The death of his uncle in the past certainly caused Germany to experience the baptism of anti-racial discrimination, but the anti-racial discrimination at that time was mainly directed against foreign immigrants and racial discrimination against the yellow race. As for black people, Lin Shangzhou was not clear about what the Germans’ attitude towards them was. He himself didn’t care about black people.

After listening to Lin Shangzhou's story, Bode looked at Simon with some respect in his eyes. He had never seen a black person, but he had heard people talk about the situation in Africa. Although Africa was by no means comparable to Germany, it was better for them to stay in Africa as officers than to stay in Germany as servants.

But their final choice was to follow the general to Germany as his servants, which was enough to show their loyalty to the general.

"They are really loyal to the general."

Lin Shangzhou was very pleased with Bode's performance. He nodded and said with emotion: "For a general, what could be more gratifying than loyal subordinates?"

Simon came over, opened the door, welcomed the two in and told them that General Lin Shangzhou was reading in his study. He brought Lin Shangzhou and the other to the door of Forbeck's study, and then he said goodbye. As a servant, Simon knew his duties very well. He only needed to bring people there and he didn't need to listen to their conversation.

After Simon left, Lin Shangzhou turned to Bode and said, "Bode, please find a place to sit outside. I have something to talk to the general alone."

"Yes."

Bode nodded and turned to walk to the other side.

dong dong dong-

Lin Shangzhou reached out and knocked on the door. After hearing Forbeck's voice from behind the door, he opened the door and walked in.

In the study, Volbeck was sitting on his sofa reading "On War" by Clausewitz. When he heard the door open, he looked up and was a little surprised to see Lin Shangzhou walk in.

"Fritts, you are the most unexpected prime minister I have ever seen."

Volbeck closed the book and said to Lin Shangzhou.

"Why do you say that?"

Lin Shangzhou said as he sat down on another sofa, and looked at Forbeck curiously.

"In the past, prime ministers would inform others before going anywhere or meeting someone. But you always make surprise attacks. Don't we both have communicators? You can use them to inform me in advance."

Forbeck put the book in his hand on the table, chuckled and complained about Lin Shangzhou.

Lin Shangzhou laughed and Liangsheng said, "Haha, just think of it as my personal style."

"As for the communicator, it's just my personal habit. I can use it for small matters, but it's different for big ones."

"Oh? Do you have something important to tell me?"

After hearing this, Forbeck asked with interest.

"Then I won't beat around the bush and I'll just tell you straight away."

After saying this, Lin Shangzhou coughed lightly, and then continued: "General, you should know about ether elemental weapons, right?"

Hearing the name "ether elemental weapons", Volbeck's heart wanted to be alert, but he finally calmed down, because the person who mentioned this name in front of him was the Chancellor of the German Empire. Although Volbeck didn't know who else in the army had contact with Lin Shangzhou for some time, it didn't matter.

"I know this. It's a confidential military research."

Forbeck nodded and replied.

(Confidential research, it seems my guess was right)

"So what do you want to tell me?"

"It's like this. The director of the Havok Institute, Havot, has also conducted similar research, but his research has been hindered. So I wanted to discuss with you whether we can allow the military scientists who are researching this area to go to the Havok Institute and conduct related research with Havot."

“I believe this will be more beneficial to research.”

After listening to Lin Shangzhou's words, Volbeck fell into deep thought. After more than ten seconds, he looked up and said to Lin Shangzhou: "I agree with this..."

Hearing this, Lin Shangzhou's heart instantly became happy, and he immediately suppressed his emotions. After all, he hadn't finished speaking yet, and it was not advisable to open champagne at halftime.

"But I can't make the decision on this matter alone. You must at least get Marshal Seeckt's consent."

Forbeck said with a serious expression.

"Although some people have complaints about your sale of communicators, after all, even our scientists cannot crack the security measures of the communicators, so as long as you can convince Marshal Sickert, you can mobilize our scientists at will."

"I will also be there to speak for you. Speeding up the research progress is a very good thing. I believe he will agree."

After saying this, Forbeck's expression relaxed a lot. He looked at Lin Shangzhou and said, "Besides, you probably haven't come into contact with any military figures other than me since you were elected. You can take this opportunity to go and take a look at the military."

"Ah."

Lin Shangzhou nodded. He thought that it was time for him to go and take a look at the army. In the future, he would have to rely on the German army to fight against the Third International and Moscow, so he had to have good relations with them.

"So when are we going?"

Folbek stood up, picked up the book on the table beside him and put it on the bookshelf, then turned to Lin Shangzhou and said, "Let's set off now without further ado."

"Okay, General."

Lin Shangzhou was delighted and jumped up from the sofa. He walked to the door before Forbeck and opened it.

"You are the prime minister now, why are you acting like those juniors?"

Seeing him do this, Volbeck said with some dissatisfaction, and then reminded: "Fritts, you must remember your identity. You are now the Chancellor of the German Empire. You and I are equal in status, and you are even higher than me."

"You act too easygoing and friendly. As a superior, you need to behave like one. Not everyone in the military is like me."

Lin Shangzhou nodded vigorously. He certainly understood what Volbeck said, but the image he wanted to create to the outside world was that of being easy-going and approachable. However, easy-going and approachable only applied to the common people. As for his political opponents and the troublemakers that Volbeck mentioned, Lin Shangzhou knew how to deal with them.

"I won't say much about your own affairs. You can handle it yourself."

Without saying anything else, Forbeck walked out of the study, and Lin Shangzhou followed closely behind him.

After walking out of the study, Lin Shangzhou called Bode, and the three of them left Volbeck's mansion together. Bode drove them to the German Army General Staff.

Dozens of minutes later, the car arrived at a military base in the suburbs of Berlin. Bode stepped on the brakes in front of the checkpoint, the car stopped and the guards came forward to check.

Bode rolled down the window and said to the guard who was coming over, "General Volbeck and Chancellor Hipper are in the car. They are going to see Field Marshal Seeckt. Please let them pass."

"General and Prime Minister?"

The guard was stunned when he heard what Bode said. Was the general and the prime minister on board? His subconscious reaction was to not believe it, it was too outrageous, but then the Stormtroopers armband on Bode's arm made him realize that what the driver said was true.

There are not many people in Germany who can be escorted by members of the Storm Troopers. Apart from the Emperor, the most well-known one is the current Chancellor Fritz Hipper, who has a member of the Storm Troopers as his bodyguard.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the people in the back seat of the car. When he saw Forbeck sitting in the back, his heart skipped a beat. Then he turned around and quickly asked his comrades to open the gate and let them pass.

The car drove smoothly into the base, and Bode found a parking space under Volbeck's instructions.

After getting off the car, Lin Shangzhou found that there were military vehicles parked nearby, and his car looked out of place here.

"Come on, I'll take you to find Sickert."

Forbeck said to Lin Shangzhou, who nodded and followed him.

A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the German General Staff. Lin Shangzhou followed Volbeck in the corridor of the General Staff. He was very curious about what it looked like, but due to his identity, he couldn't look around, which made him feel uncomfortable.

boom--

As they were walking, a soldier jogging from behind bumped into Lin Shangzhou. The sudden collision made Lin Shangzhou stagger and almost fall to the ground, while the soldier sat down on the ground with the things in his hands falling to the ground.

The sudden noise made Bode reach for the holster on his waist instantly, but after seeing the current situation, he withdrew his hand. He looked at the soldier who was packing up things on the ground with a ferocious expression.

"How could you walk so carelessly! Do you know who you bumped into?!"

Bode yelled at the soldier angrily. After hearing what he said, the soldier immediately stopped what he was doing, quickly stood up and apologized to Lin Shangzhou.

Lin Shangzhou put his hand on Bode's shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be so nervous or angry. It was just an accident."

With his persuasion, Bode's anger dissipated a little. Who the hell knew that such a thing would happen in the Army General Staff.

Lin Shangzhou squatted down and picked up the documents and packages scattered on the ground, then stood up and handed them to the trembling man, saying kindly: "Remember to be careful next time."

The soldier looked at the kind smile of the strange Chinese man in front of him, and his heart couldn't stop trembling. A Chinese man who could appear in the General Staff Headquarters, even a fool could guess his identity - the current prime minister of the empire.

And he just bumped into the current prime minister...

Seeing the soldier standing there in confusion, Volbeck frowned and said to him, "Okay, Mr. Prime Minister asked you to take it, so just take it. Just be careful next time. I won't punish you this time."

"Yes! I will definitely pay more attention and never make the same mistake again! Thank you very much, Mr. Prime Minister, for forgiving my offense."

"Alright, alright, go ahead."

Lin Shangzhou waved at him, and then the soldier left.

Despite what happened, there was no one around Lin Shangzhou except the guards who came rushing over after hearing the noise.

After letting them leave, Lin Shangzhou and others continued to walk towards Sickert's office.

Half a minute later they arrived at the door of the Chief of Staff's office. Bode went forward and knocked on the door. After getting permission from the person inside, he opened the door.

In the office, Sickert was standing by the wall looking at the map hanging on it. The sound of the door opening made him turn his head. When he saw Bode, he was confused at first. Why did the Stormtroopers come to him?

After seeing Forbeck and Lin Shangzhou, his doubts were dispelled a lot. It turned out that it was the Prime Minister who came. In this way, it was easy to understand why a member of the Storm Commando appeared here.

"Hello, Marshal Sickert."

Lin Shangzhou greeted Seeckt. He looked at the old man in front of him who was about the same age as Volbeck. If nothing unexpected happened, the current leadership of the German army would be made up of such old veterans. Thinking of this, Lin Shangzhou felt an unusual pressure in his heart. It would be difficult to get these old guys to change their war concepts...

The Chief of General Staff also looked at the first Chinese chancellor in the history of the German Empire with a scrutinizing eye. He knew what Lin Shangzhou looked like, but this was the first time he saw him.

When Seeckt heard the news, he felt more or less repulsive in his heart. After all, although he was not completely Chinese, nor was he completely German, the thing had already happened. In addition, Cecilia would occasionally come to the General Staff to praise him, so there was no need for him to have any opinion about him.

"Hello, Chancellor Hipper."

Sickert walked towards Lin Shangzhou and extended his right hand to him. Seeing this, Lin Shangzhou also extended his right hand and shook hands with Sickert's right hand.

Then Lin Shangzhou and Forbeck sat down on the chairs in the office. Bode left the office and waited outside because they had some confidential information to discuss.

In the office, Sickert asked Lin Shangzhou, "So what do you want to discuss with me, Mr. Prime Minister?"

"It's like this. I would like to invite the scientists who are researching etheric weapons from the military to come to the Havok Institute to study etheric weapons with Director Havot. All expenses during the period will be borne by the institute, and the latest research results will be sent to the military as soon as possible."

After listening to Lin Shangzhou's words, Sickert fell into deep thought. A few minutes later, a smile appeared on his face that made Lin Shangzhou feel uneasy.

"Mr. Prime Minister, your suggestion is very good. It will help speed up the research process. I agree with your proposal and will send someone to send those scientists to you tomorrow. However, as you said, all the expenses for researching ether element weapons will be borne by the institute."

Sickert's last sentence made Lin Shangzhou understand why he agreed so readily. To put it bluntly, he wanted the military to reap the benefits while investing in research.

Since Sickert agreed so readily, Lin Shangzhou believed that the research cost would be very high and his wallet would bleed heavily. However, he had no room for regret now that things had come to this point.

(Spend the money if you want, it’s for the future so that you can defeat the Third International and Moscow!)
