Chapter 7: Kiefersfelden
Location: Kiefersfelden
POV: Kyle's
'Rudolf, Rudolf, Rudolf, it seems you have a more interesting personality than I thought.' Even after pushing on all of his personal boundaries. It seems he trusts me and actually wants to repay his debt, maybe some Japanese blood in him' I chuckled. I have just transported here, means no one has any ulterior motives. But dammit, That service for writing a book from memory is costly, 3000 TUs. Sadly due to the limits, I was only allowed to write fully about the Panzer I, II, III. On the Panzer IV I only had the beginning Variants and with the tiger, I only have the very first blueprints. With the King Tigers chassis only being shown. The Panther has only the very first Ausf. And with the Maus page only having the very introduction to the idea of Super heavy tanks. 'Luckily all information I read about the generals was there.'
Now I will have to prepare for conflict, which means a High command, Supplies, Military bases, etc. 'I can already prepare for the future by making some criteria for construction to withstand a nuclear blasts, Bunker buster bombs, MOABS, Biochemical WMDs, etc' I checked some positives and started to write down some things that have to be built. So a Bunker complex would be the best, I could take some standards from the Maginot line and incorporate it into my own base. I will discuss this in detail later with the company and Rudolf, as I need some people with expertise in this area. The construction will take time, but If we spread it over about 30 years that should be fine.
After making some preparations I made my way to the train station, The meeting with the higher-ups of the company and the architects will be later today.
'Why is it so hard to recall all the details of WW2 I should know it best? I even read on how to run organisations, but I have no idea on how to run this organisation 100% perfectly, The best way would be to gather talents. The best being in the Military,'I must also gain information from the highest chain of command in Germany, but how am I going to get there?' Many ideas fill my head, but none are satisfactory. 'I will talk to Rudolf About this when he arrives and when the deal is closed.' I said to myself, I entered the train and made my way to Kiefersfelden. Upon arriving I noticed another train unloading basic construction Material.
I walk towards the temporary construction site where construction materials are being dumped. I already requested large amounts of Titanium Alloy for research purposes, 'I will need Titanium to develop light jet aircraft, better planes, engines, etc' I sigh deeply before heading towards the main building in the middle where the meeting will be held.'I am only good at remembering things that happened in history, not in negotiations, how am I going to get the upper hand in this deal?' I entered the reception area with big strides, Rudolf was talking to some people before I arrived, seeing me he quickly came to me. ''Kyle I have been waiting for you. Come with me,'' Rudolf said and beckoned me over.
We went up the stairs leading to a big build office area, ''I will need your help in this area Rudolf'', I said softly, ''I am not very knowledgeable on Market prices.'' I continued awkwardly, ''No problems Kyle, you just state what needs to be done I will see if we get a fair deal out of it, I have dealt with these companies before in the Military, so I do know quite a lot in this area'' Rudolf replied.
We entered the Office, the CEO of Philipp Holzmann was exactly on the other side we are sitting, on the left of me as an accountant who writes down the requirements and the prices and on the right was an empty space for Rudolf. The CEO stood up and walked towards he extended his hand to shake mine.''Greetings Mister Kyle, it is an honour for us to find such an esteemed businessman coming to us for a construction project.'' The CEO said all smiles.''It is nice to meet you, but let's skip the pleasantries.'' I said before continuing ''This construction is of utmost importance, including the secrecy. I am even willing to increase the budget if necessary to meet the standards.'' I was very serious at this moment, clearly showing the utmost importance of this project to me. The CEO quickly changed his attitude as well to a real businessman.
Negotiations started immediately, ''Sir Kyle, we are the understanding that the project is a military/ research facility. But we barely know the specifics, can you elaborate on us what you exactly want.'' The Architect said on the left of the CEO. ''The requirements will probably be the Highest you will have ever seen, and when I say this I am not joking,'' I said in all seriousness. The architect looked at me before speaking ''Kyle, we classify military structures in certain categories:
1. Defensive Grade
2. Offensive Grade
3. Logistics
4. Support
5. Storage
6. Production
7. R&D
8. Strongholds
These Categories each have a grade extending from E to S level, with S level being the highest grade and it shows the capabilities of the military structure in that area. For example, if we take the Maginot our company would give it:
1. Level S(Defensive Grade)
2. Level D(Offensive Grade)
3. Level A(Logistics)
4. Level B(Support)
5. Level S(Storage)
6. Level C(Production)
7. Level E(R&D)
8. Level S(Strongholds)
This gives you a grade 9 fort, with the highest being a grade 12 fort if all categories are S level. We calculate this through giving each letter a number: S = 1.5, A= 1.5, B= 1, C=1, D=0.5, E= 0.5. With this after you have finished your demands we can also give you a graded report.'' the Engineer on the Right side said.
As I stated beforehand: ''The requirements will be at S level, if not I require you to help me make them S level. Now, I shall go over the details of what my facility needs and has to be capable of, I will use the same categories as your company:
I am not requesting a bunker complex yet, I need a good sturdy base of Operations, which will need barracks, supply depot, armoury, etc. It will need the basics of any military camp, some underground ammunitions storage would be necessary. Other production facilities will be added later over time.
Besides a standard Military base, I would like your company to draft some designs for a Bunker complex in the local area, It must be strong, easy to defend with minimal personnel, storage, and some other facilities.
''That will be done, but any weaponry will need to be provided by you, we cannot deliver any of such weaponry. Bunker design will begin after completing the Military base, the estimated cost would be around 2 Billion Reichsmark, spread over the period of construction. Secrecy must be maintained hence more trusted workers are used which cost more. That is all.'' The Accountant answered the CEOs questioning gaze. ''Great!'' I said while standing up to shake hands, ''It is a pleasure to do business with you. Rudolf will come by tomorrow to talk about the details of the base.'' I said to people.
I and Rudolf slowly leave after saying goodbye, also picking a time for Rudolf to come by tomorrow to go into more detail about the construction.'I was slightly surprised by the price.' While we walked together to the hotel in the village of Kiefersfelden, I finally decided to talk about the Panther With Rudolf.
A picture was also made with me in the middle and the Company's personnel around me, to put in their company for a history of their deals. Rudolf also got one.
Chapter 8: Back to Munich
Location: Kiefersfelden
POV: Kyle's
''From now on onward it will only become harder Kyle, this construction project will most likely attract attention, I am only able to guarantee you to hold the military intelligence agency back a maximum of 3 years.'' Rudolf was dead serious at the moment.''sigh, I understand Rudolf, but first, we need to even find reliable people to work for us. I want you to try to get into the army recruitment program and get the qualified people to go work for me instead. Tell them they will be part of a secret organisation that is 'part' of the military or make a story up, just do something. I will go to Berlin and stay there until the construction of the outer perimeter is done. I will need to buy large quantities of weaponry, which will not be easy since we are not part of the military.'' I said with a dejected look, seeing how much work there is ahead of us.
''Also, Rudolf, I have another task that is of importance. I have constructed a Pz. Kpfw that is unheard of, I need you to get the most loyal and outstanding men you have under you to move the Pz. Kpfw, in the book you read it looks mostly to the Pz.Kpfw V(Panther). Besides you, you will need 4 other men to operate it completely. The men you choose will be further trained to operate this tank, make a wise decision Rudolf. Send the tank to the construction site, it will take off-road approximately 6 hours, it will be about 200 km if trying to avoid suspicion.'' ''Rudolf, If we ever split or I am somewhere unknown, leave someone stationed in the Village we met at the location I parked the Pz. Kpfw V Ausf. X. There I will most likely go, remember that.'' I said
We shake hands, ''Kyle, there will be a very long time before we see each other again, if you ever need to contact me in Berlin find a soldier named Stefan Oberlander. He is an old friend of mine, he is reliable. I wish you the best of luck Kyle, also, when you return, I would like to know where our organisation is heading and how it will be named'' Rudolf said with a bitter smile, reluctant to return to the army barracks.''I will Rudolf, if we both succeed on each other sides we will change history, I guarantee you that. Don't forget to reduce the price a bit more at the negotiations tomorrow, I will want a full report of you and the engineer.
Rudolf, we shall definitely meet 1939, also you must make that the deadline for the construction, even if it demands more capital I will most likely agree as long as it doesn't go past 4 billion RM.'' With my last instructions to Rudolf did we part ways, I went towards the train station heading towards Munich, to than the day after head towards Berlin. 'I will need some better clothing and a good house, I need to contact the Higher ups of Germany, this won't be easy in scientist clothing.' I mocked myself.
I started to head towards the train station of Kiefersfelden,' I only have 200 million Reichsmark left to spend, I must make do with this for 5 years minimum.' I enter the train and sit down in my cabin heading towards Munich,'next time I am going to travel 1st class, these small cabins are too cramped.' after approximately 2 hours did the train stop in Munich, I headed towards the hotel I stayed in last time.'Only 18:30 a tad bit early for dinner, I guess I will walk around Munich to see if there is any news.' After walking for about 45 minutes did I finally decide to sit down at a terrace, I ordered nothing fancy, just enough to have a satisfying dinner, without having to spend too much money.
But just as I was to ask for the bill a man sits in front of me, behind him are 2 figures who look like they are in their early twenties.''I have heard you are looking for talents in many fields, and only requests they work in a specialised lab.'' the man that just sat down said.
I leaned back into my chair and replied:'' That is indeed true, but that doesn't mean I accept just any random scientist or talent, give me a bit more detail, on who you are, why you are here, what you studied, what you want to achieve and of course your price.'' The man looked baffled, hoping, of course, he could just get the job, but thinking about it realistically that was never going to happen.
''I am something I call an aerospace/ rocket scientist, I came to Munich to visit an old friend of mine when I overheard a Businessman is willing to fund large science projects, no matter what type. To be honest, we have been getting a lack of funding, making even accommodation hard. So when I heard about this I admit to doing research about you Mr.Kyle, but after using all my authority I could not find your name in any record. Which does make me cautious, but at the same time, it seems you are a very capable person. Oh almost forgot, my name is Wernher von Braun, I am from former Posen that is now located in Poland. I might be young Mr.Kyle, but I can assure you that I and my fellow scientists are capable people.''
I almost fell from my chair 'Well... This is unexpected... Wernher von Braun, the creator of the V-2 rocket.' but when I think about it again he is currently only 22 years old, not experienced, it will take more than 10 years or even longer for the rockets to develop, not even talking about the costs evolved, it will be very hard to fund a rocket program.''I am willing to hire you, I am currently establishing a lab underground for safety purposes, Sadly it is not available yet. I will fund your science projects, 5 million RM a year, with now 5 Million upfront. After the construction is complete I will send someone to get you and your fellow scientists. I will send a contract you have to sign later this month. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation.'' I said with a playful smile on my face to see their reaction, 'Werner Von Braun is reliable, I do not think he will run away with the money or use it for the wrong purposes.' I chuckled.
After the men left with an address I would contact did I finally stand up to walk towards the hotel,'This is going to be difficult, my financial capabilities are being reduced at an alarming rate, I need something to sell or something to gain TUs easily, yet I have neither. I will have to focus on this problem first when I get to Berlin, else I will not be able to get any other scientist on my side or even fund their projects.'
'It seems I will have to focus on gaining money first before doing anything else' With this idea I fall asleep.

Our first Famous WW2 Persona makes his appearance, but do remember some are still young and haven't achieved anything yet. Also I will not just throw every famous scientist into his face and accepting it. It will be a long time for anyone famous to join.
Money, money, money. It is always about the money. What will our MC use as a solution?
