After making these adjustments, Hoffman finally felt much more relaxed, and his "role play" level reached a higher level. At least these old comrades in the National Socialist Party could no longer see how abnormal they were, and they still used their fingers when commanding.

"You should be clear about the current military situation and strategic adjustments." Hoffmann's face was grim and his expression was particularly serious. "From the present, the war has inevitably become long-term. We must be prepared for this mentality. The Russians have sufficient reserve force and may not be defeated in a year or two. After the Americans participated, the British will resist to the end. The army of the Eastern Front itself also has the idea of ​​continuing to accumulate strength and preparing to give the Russians a fatal blow next year. In order to avoid fighting on both sides, based on the principle of easy first and difficult, I have decided to turn my strategic focus to the southern front.

, and the Eastern Front will enter a relatively gentle offensive defense. We must effectively use this year's adjustment time to comprehensively improve the strength of the empire. Our arms production, material collection and personnel mobilization must have different turns. Therefore, I ordered that from September 1, 1942, the empire will be fully transferred to the wartime system, and all laws and policies that conflict with this system will be invalid. The consumer industry will gradually transform into the arms industry. The main arms enterprises must change from the current one-shift system to the three-shift system, and must improve production efficiency and increase output, and lay a reliable material foundation for winning a comprehensive victory."

This was another shocking decision. Although the congregation had not yet reacted, Hoffman knew in his heart that the Third Reich did not mobilize in history until the defeat of the "Castle" Battle of Kursk. Then military production reached its peak in 1944. At that time, the strategic bombing of the United States and Britain had already turned Germany upside down. Now Germany is still immersed in the dream of "not interfering in the normal life of citizens". It is not sufficient to prepare for the long-term and cruelty of the war. The military industry is still slowly implementing the one-slot system, and the economic management system is in chaos, but because the problems are covered up by the continuous victory on the frontline.

Minister of Arms Spel understood what Hoffman meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up and he interrupted, "First of the People's Republic of China, I'm afraid that there will be insufficient labor."

"Labor force?" Hoffman looked at General Yodel, the director of the Operations Bureau of the Supreme Command, and asked, "Didn't we captured nearly 3 million Russian soldiers on the Eastern Front in the past year? All of them can be taken into labor."

Yodel looked awkward and had a bad look.

Sperl shrugged disapprovingly: "As far as I know, more than 500,000 people have died in prisoners of war camps due to malnutrition and severe punishments. Some of them have been pulled away by the Eastern Front troops, calling it volunteers as auxiliary personnel, but in fact they are used as slave workers. What's more, the prisoners of war use the opportunity of military mobilization and tension in the war to break out of control and return to Stalin's arms."

"This won't work." Hoffman was angry and told several giants of the National Wehrmacht, "Russian prisoners are also an important resource. They should be placed at the same important position as other materials seized and should not be wasted easily." After pausing, he added, "Prisoners of war alone may not necessarily meet production needs. I think that women who are educated and of suitable age should also enter the army and expand the proportion of female employees in factories, social organizations, and government agencies..."

Goring's eyes were almost glaring out: "First of the People, do you want women to join the army? We are not Russians, and the army is not as cowardly as to rely on women to fight."

"Idiot, who asked them to take their weapons to the front line?" Looking at Gorene, who was unconscious in her head, Hoffman was furious. "Just like the Air Force, can't the operators and telegraphers let women act as? Radar operators, air defense searchlight operators can't let women act as?"

"Oh, my god!" Keitel, who finally seized the opportunity, mocked, "Comrade Gorene's air force is already over-staffed. If women are put in, they will be even more crowded. I am not worried about women serving, but I am afraid that the upward and downward results will be achieved, and even men who serve normally will not be able to complete the task."

This is a clear position that Gorene, the leader of the Air Force, is full of scandals. It is just that Gorene mocked only the Air Force's loyalty to the leader's counterattack. Seeing Gorene going crazy again, Hoffman stopped him and said, "Don't worry, I will not let the Air Force do nothing. The Air Force has other tasks. The escort work of these prisoners' camps is all left to the Air Force. The Air Force field division cannot defeat the Russians, so it will not be difficult to manage the prisoners, right?"

Goring's eyes turned and felt that if he really put the prisoners into labor as the head of state said, it would inevitably attract competition from major enterprises. This was a very profitable thing. The steel and metal companies under his name lacked labor, so he agreed readily.

Seeing that Kettle and Zeitzler's two chiefs of staff were about to protest again, Hoffmann fought back: "Do you complain that the front line is not strong enough troops? I will leave the prisoners' camp to the Air Force to handle it. You only care about the prisoners on the battlefield and can free up tens of thousands of field troops for the front line. Moreover, the prisoners will not occupy the army's food and supplies after being escorted back to China by the Air Force. It is beneficial to you. In the future, all prisoners on the Eastern Front will handle this as they are."

Seeing Goring robbed the prisoner's work, Spel looked at Hoffman with a gaze, hoping that he could give him some workers to force labor. Unexpectedly, Hoffman gave him a new solution: the captured enemy troops cannot be simply allocated to work, and first of all, it must be identified, especially the Bolsheviks must be identified. Soldiers and officers must be detained separately to prevent officers from using their authority to incite and organize. Both officers and Bolsheviks are involved in forced labor. As for ordinary soldiers, it is not recommended to directly enter military production - there will inevitably be slack work, strikes, and secret destruction, which will cause great harm to the quality of arms. By the same token, the arms industry in the imperially occupied areas cannot be assured to allow other countries to produce, and must be controlled in their own hands.

"My suggestion is that we transfer all the consumer industry to the occupied areas and relocate their military industry to the empire, so that even if they make trouble on the products, it will not harm our weapons, and at the same time it will weaken their national defense capabilities and prevent them from producing weapons to the resistance organizations. I think Russian prisoners should be placed in the jurisdiction of the Governor General of East Prussia and Poland, so that they can mainly engage in agriculture and mining production - especially agriculture. We should have an encouragement policy, as long as the resettled prisoners can be handed over to the output of the imperial government, the remaining part will be controlled by themselves. Didn't Stalin like to engage in collective farms that plunder all surplus supplies? We can also learn from this model and let them understand what real national socialism is. Thanks to the food products they provide, the residents of the empire who were originally engaged in agricultural production can devote themselves to large-scale industrial production.

"Hoffman stood up excitedly when he said the key points, "Gentlemen, we don't have to worry about them being stumbled, and slacking off work, and reducing production will not be beneficial to them at all. It is completely unfamiliar with our own stomachs. If these prisoners who are divided and controlled perform well enough, we can provide treatment that is better than Stalin's collective farms. In the future, they can also take their family members over, share the land of the Poles to them, and let them serve the empire wholeheartedly. In a word, the empire's production capacity, especially the heavy industry and the arms industry, must be greatly improved. We must integrate the resources and production capacity of the entire Europe to fight against the British, American and Soviet countries. This truth has been explained clearly in the "Total War". If anyone else is not clear, I suggest you find it out and take a closer look. It will be beneficial to you."

"Baopa!" Goebbels was the first to applaud. "The head of state spoke very well. It not only explained the necessity and importance of the empire's general mobilization and the full transfer of the wartime system, but also pointed out the direction for future economic work and industrial and agricultural production. No matter how far-sighted the evaluation is, it is not too much."

The others could only clap their hands. Goering muttered "flatter" in the direction of Goebbels in dissatisfaction, and was naturally ignored by the latter.

"So," Hoffman slowly walked behind Sperer and patted his shoulder. "Your task is very heavy. After the implementation of the wartime system and production reform, the system needs to be sorted out. I require the production of major technical weapons such as tanks, artillery, aircraft, etc. to double in a short period of time. Basic industrial products such as steel, aluminum ingots, and synthetic oil must also have a significant increase. After the complete integration in 1943, we must strive to double the amount of this year's double. Of course, you don't have to worry. Since I have assigned you a task, I will also grant you the corresponding rights - all imperial economic work and arms production, whether it is the Air Force, the Army or the Navy, will be dispatched and commanded by you. Whoever dares to disobey orders will be regarded as a treason who destroys the wartime system and let Comrade Himmler punish you."
