"Long live the Führer!"
Just after getting off the plane and returning to headquarters, Strasser saw Goebbels waiting in the office.
"Joseph, you returned from Brussels so quickly?"
Strasser was a bit surprised; he had thought Goebbels would take longer.
"Actually, it's not that difficult." Goebbels scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed as he spoke. "As long as we identify the pain points of those scientists, persuading them is quite easy. Besides, we have the intelligence provided by the Führer, right?"
"For the scientists from Germany, we need the German people to contribute and stay. For talents from other countries, we have hired them with high salaries, especially the Curie couple. We offered them a high salary of five hundred thousand Marks a year and fully funded their experimental projects."
"Most people have agreed to come to Germany for work, after all, the benefits we offer are truly excellent," said Rom. It was then that Strasser noticed that this Vanguard Commander-in-Chief had also arrived in the office. "You did well, Ernst. It was indeed the right decision to entrust the Vanguard to you."
Strasser encouraged, as long as his subordinates performed well, he didn't mind giving them some extra praise.
"However, Führer, although we brought back all the scientists from the photos this time, there is one old man who has not been convinced by us. He believes that science should belong to the world and not just to one country."
"But we can't use force against him, we can only bring him back in the name of country," Rom said somewhat hesitantly. They had tried every method to persuade the old man, but with little success.
"No problem, leave this guy to me to persuade."
Strasser probably already knew who Rom was talking about.
"By the way, although this trip to Belgium was tough for you, I still have a task for you to complete."
"Please give your orders, Führer. Ernst will do anything."
Rom quickly said that he was not afraid of hard work; he was more afraid that Strasser would think he was useless. Previously, Heydrich's strong rise had already made him feel threatened, and the expansion of the National Defense Forces made him feel even more uneasy. If even the status of armed forces was overshadowed by the National Defense Forces, then he would truly become irrelevant to the ethnic group and the Labour Party.
Rom did not want to lose the position he had already secured. In his view, the Vanguard should not merely serve as the party's security force; they should play a more significant role in Germany. "The upcoming tasks for the Vanguard, in addition to continuing to assist party organizations across the country with propaganda activities, also require you to intensify your training."
Simultaneously help transfer machinery and skilled workers from the industrial areas in the west of Germany to help them relocate to the east of Germany. Additionally, build defensive lines along the Franco-German border as much as possible, constructing a new line in the original location of "The Hindenburg Line." I will assign this project to a professional construction company, and your vanguard is responsible for providing manpower.
"From now on, I will no longer limit the organization and number of the Vanguard. As long as you can afford the salaries and weapons, there is no problem arming as many people as you want."
Rom initially felt somewhat uninterested in Strasser's request, as it mainly involved physical labor tasks. However, upon hearing Strasser's last statement, Rom immediately perked up.
This was a great opportunity to expand the Vanguard. Once he armed over a million members of the Vanguard, the National Defense Forces would be completely at his mercy.
"Leader, may I ask why you are now allowing Vanguard to expand its armament?"
Although eager to take on this task, Rom was more curious about why Strasser had changed his mind.
After all, Strasser had previously been reluctant about the expansion of Vanguard, and the expansion plans submitted by Rom had all been rejected by Strasser on the grounds of insufficient funding.
"Because within the next year, France is going to wage war against Germany. Under the oppression of the Treaty of Versailles, it is impossible for Germany to resist French people with only 200,000 National Defense Forces. We must mobilize more militia forces."
"I understand, I promise to complete the mission! Hail to the leader!"
The confusion was resolved, and Rom no longer hesitated. After a quick salute with a heel click, he immediately ran out excitedly.
"Ernst's desire for power is truly intense."
Watching Rom leave, Goebbels suddenly remarked. Strasser knew he was being reminded and smiled as he replied:
"Don't worry, Joseph, I have control over Ernst naturally. Moreover, the members of his vanguard team are required to receive National Socialism education and pledge allegiance to me after joining vanguard and joining the ethnic group Labour Party. we also regularly hold meetings and conduct ideological transformation for these members. More importantly, the funding for vanguard comes from our party, including various weapons and equipment."
"Even if there are any thoughts, they are of no use."
"Leader, you are truly too merciful. If it were that guy Hitler, he would definitely have Rom shot."
Goebbels' words left Strasser speechless with laughter.
"Perhaps, but for now let's go meet those old friends who have come from Brussels!"

France Paris
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office
At this moment, two men are leisurely savoring their afternoon tea in the luxurious office. They are the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs Chief Chamberlain and the French Foreign Minister.
"I never expected that the busy Viscount Chamberlain would personally come to visit us in this small place like Paris," said Balian with a smile. "Don't underestimate it, if Paris is a small place, then there's no such thing as a big place in the world."
Chamberlain is somewhat disdainful of Versailles, after all, Versailles is really in Paris.
Chamberlain did not refute this, France does have this capital.
After the signing of the Treaty of Locarno, Western Europe restored peace and stability, and capital saw the opportunity to make money, flowing into Europe, with France being the most prominent.
In 1919, just after the war ended, France's economy was only 57% of what it was in 1913. By 1924, it had reached 126% of the 1913 level, and by 1927, it had almost reached 140%.
Apart from slow population recovery and gender imbalances, there were no internal problems in France. It was truly a vibrant and thriving place.
Naturally, Paris also quickly recovered its prosperity and became a global metropolis.
The economic development of France is closely linked to peace, and the peace of Western Europe is closely linked to the Treaty of Locarno. As the driving force behind the signing of the Treaty of Locarno, Briand naturally feels proud of this. "However, I heard that the military enterprise within France is working overtime to produce weapons and ammunition, which makes us very worried. Are you France planning to start a new war?" Chamberlain also stopped chatting and asked about the real issue, which was also the reason he came to Paris.
"Ah? You're talking about this. President Du Melo told me that they are sending troops to suppress some minor rebellions in the North Africa colonies."
Balian spoke frankly, and he had also noticed these phenomena, but President Du Melo's explanation was reasonable.
Since they are going to suppress colonial movements, it's not a big deal."
"Are you sure? I heard that many of your France troops are moving towards the Franco-German border, which is a sign of aggression," Chamberlain still seemed worried.
"Viscount Chamberlain, casually probing the deployment of other countries' troops is not a polite thing to do."
Balian was a little dissatisfied, but he immediately said, "Don't worry, it's just a military exercise. President Du Meiluo has assured me that there will be absolutely no action against Germany. What did we gain from invading the Ruhr last time? We can't be so foolish as to stumble in the same place twice!"
"WeFrancedefinitely will not start a war," said Balain.
Chamberlain's words reassured him. Since they said so, it would be impolite to doubt them.
"In that case, I will go back and report to the government, so they don't have to consider the issue of evacuating nationals."
Chamberlain nodded.
"Ah, never mind, let's not talk about that. Try some local Parisian tea, the taste is not inferior to your 'slumbering black tea'."
