Chapter 16: Deploying Western Europe
.The Third Reich under the Ten Thousand Characters Volume 5: Battle of Britain Chapter 16: Deployment of Western Europe
Today is six days away from the election.
The German Third Reich government has sent invitations to friendly countries to inform allies that potential allies come to watch the new round of elections of the German Third Reich to ensure notarization of the election.
This is a ridiculous procedure. In the current Third Reich in Germany, who dares to defame the internal affairs of the Third Reich except the belligerent countries?
Of course, this is also the most interesting election in world history. The reason is that no one who signed up for election has the courage to nominate except Xu Yang. The entire election did not allow the people to participate in the voting in accordance with the fair election treaty of the Freedom Act. The election process is limited to internal, and elected members of the parliament cast a sacred vote on behalf of the people in Congress. According to the German government's explanation, it is impossible to mobilize the whole people to participate in the war. This explanation is also reasonable. After all, the country is in a state of war now.
The current German Third Reich government ignored the criticism of Britain, Australia, Canada and other countries. As for France, France has now passed a bill to grant the power of the Beta dictator. The Vichy government is currently looking for opportunities to seek peace. The Vichy government has no free time and no courage to anger the German Third Reichy at this time.
Xu Yang doesn't like acting, so he would rather participate in the formulation of combat plans at the Supreme Command of the National Defense Forces than meet ambassadors from various countries, and he would not have the habit of running to the Capitol every few days. The play does not need to be so realistic. It is better to announce the election directly and then start to formulate a comprehensive national policy. Reveal the veil of hypocrisy, reveal its hideous fangs, and roar to the world: Who wants a war!?
Of course, these are just Xu Yang's thoughts in his heart. On the surface, he still needs to abide by the rules of the game.
As the regime alternated, the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, Italy, China, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, most countries in southern Europe, some sovereign states in North America, and some countries in Central Asia. Whether it was sincere or to watch jokes, they all sent their own envoys to Germany to prepare to participate in the regime handover ceremony.
There is a country that must be solemnly stated, that is Iraq. Iraq is located in southwestern Asia, east of the Arabian Peninsula, connected to Turkey to the north, Persia to the east, and has an outlet in the Persian Gulf. After the end of World War I, the Faisal Dynasty was established under the protection of the British dynasty, with the help of the Third German Empire, and became a sovereign country. The Third German Empire officially established diplomatic relations with Iraq. The trade policy of industrial products for oil was adopted. The Third German Empire took back the Rhine and annexed Odeli. After Czechoslovakia, Britain changed its policy, united France to re-control Iraq and purge pro-German Iraq. So far, Iraq became a puppet government of Britain. (Historical fact. Although Iraq was controlled by Britain at that time, most people were inclined to Germany, resulting in constant tribal and party civil wars)
Why do you say so much? The answer lies in Iraq's eastern neighbor Persia!
Persia was under pressure and worried that Britain would extend its hands further and had a large number of troops stationed on the Iraqi border. Although it was not as powerful as fire, Persia had been guarding against Britain and immediately sought military help from the Soviet Union and the German Third Reich. At that time, the Soviet Union was in the midst of an alternation of domestic regimes and was unable to intervene in Persia. The German Third Reich lost Iraq, an oil-producing country, so he focused his attention on Persia. At this time, Persia took the initiative to deliver an olive branch. How could the German Third Reich not agree? The two sides hit it off and formed a mutually beneficial and win-win trade model, and adopted the trade strategy of arms exchange for oil. The German Third Reich also inserted a potential nail in the Arabian Peninsula.
In addition, in Argentina, Argentina currently plays a role as an export intermediary for the Third German Empire. Every year, the Third German Empire sold arms to foreign countries by the Argentine government, accounting for 7 of the total exports of the Third German Empire. The main importers are Chile, Brazil, and Bolivia. Among them, Chile is the main cultivation target of the Third German Empire in North America. Many defense army generals even purchased skins in Chile, built farms and breeding gardens.
The only thing I want to say is that as the Third Reich of Germany continued to win military victory, the international diplomatic space has also increased year by year by year. When countries saw that German armed forces were invincible on the battlefield, they thought of the weapons made by Germany that certainly had advantages, increasing the number of countries buying weapons from Germany.
At this point, Germany relied on selling weapons and obtained a large amount of funds. Under the virtuous cycle, its military-industrial enterprises also made great progress, which allowed funds to strengthen the research on various new weapons.
As of now, Germany's largest weapons importers are Finland, Hungary and China.
In the past two years, Germany exported a large number of infantry artillery and convenient individual combat weapons to Finland, such as shoulder-type bazooka, flamethrower and other new combat weapons.
On the Hungary side, due to the backwardness of Hungary's military industry, Germany converted the retired i-tank into a tracked transport vehicle and sold it to Hungary at a cheap price. This not only enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Hungarian army, but also achieved an effective way to utilize waste.
For China, Germany used weapons to exchange strategic resources to transport a large number of individual combat weapons collected from Czechoslovakia to China. Simply take Czech light machine guns as an example, they have now become the main combat weapon of the Chinese armed forces.
"First of all, what we should solve is the combat reserves of oil. As diplomatic frictions between our country and the Soviet Union and other countries gradually increase, the reserved oil consumes a lot due to high-intensity wars. We had previously thoughts that it was necessary to make a change. Due to the influence of transportation, the oil supply on the French front is currently adopting an airborne supply model, which will consume our originally small amount of oil."
"Before the implementation of the Sea Lion Plan, we must strictly stipulate and divide the land and air oil supply. In view of the pressure of supply, I personally tend to accept the willingness of Spain and Portugal to participate in the war."
Xu Yang suddenly thought of Mahan. Mahan led a SS motorized infantry regiment and was stationed in San Sebastian in eastern Spain with 6 divisions of Spanish troops. Once Spain declares war on France, the coalition forces stationed in San Sebastian will cross the Pyrenees and launch an attack on the western French cities of Bayona, Dax, Pocheng and Tabu, and cooperate with the Clesco armored cluster to quickly occupy western France. In addition, the German-Portugal coalition forces stationed in the Mediterranean coastal city of Spain will also cross Andorra to launch a feint attack on the French city of Fouva.
Once Spain and Portugal join the war, the allies' maritime transportation lines in the Strait of Brotar will be blocked.
In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the Spanish and Portuguese armies, the Third Reich sent more than 6,000 military instructors to the two countries, helping the two countries to form twenty-three German infantry divisions. At the same time, with the help of German fire traders, Spain formed three armored divisions mainly composed of i-type tanks, and was equipped with a small number of ii tanks.
In terms of air supremacy, Spain and the Third German Empire will send three air brigades to Faro, Spain, Leon and Malaga respectively. At the same time, increase paid military aid to the two countries and increase loan limits. Some funds will be transferred from Switzerland to Spain and Portugal.
For the sake of the Chinese offshore strategy, Germany will temporarily lease the Valencia port from Spain and deploy a combat fleet. Portugal agreed to the German Navy to set up a submarine supply base in Lisbon to deter the maritime transportation lines of the Atlantic allies.
According to Italy's claim, Italy has deployed millions of troops from Turin to the Alps and can cross the Alps to attack France at any time. In the direction of North Africa, Mussolini publicly declared that he was ready that once the German army occupied Paris, Italian troops in the direction of North Africa could launch an expulsion war against Britain and France's colonial colonies in North Africa, driving the British and French troops to drive the Chinese and French troops out of the China Sea.
Xu Yang walked to Ribin Tropp and asked with his head held high, "What do you want to say?"
The generals attending the meeting turned their attention to Ribin Troop.
Ribintrop is definitely a nationalist. He seemed very radical at some point and admired the racial theory promoted by Xu Yang. At the same time, he was also a very excellent diplomat, serving in London, England and Moscow, the Soviet Union. Like everyone else, he did not like the British, but he had a great favor for the Soviets.
"Dear leader!" He was excited and nervous. He tried hard to calm down, but it was ineffective, and his words were unconsciously lowered: "You... do you have the habit of reading Soviet newspapers?"
It has to be said that Ribintrop felt that his question was very stupid and was very rude to the leader. He could clearly feel that the generals wanted to eat themselves alive.
"Hmm?" Xu Yang was a little confused and asked again in confusion: "What information do you mean?"
Ribintrop looked even more nervous, and he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead: "Pravda...the Soviet Union's Pravda."
Xu Yang understood a little and nodded to Ribintrop to continue speaking.
Ribintrop avoided military-sensitive topics and gave examples to introduce some situations in the Soviet Union. The overall meaning was that the Soviet Union had no intention of attacking Germany, and even controlled the domestic media, strictly ordered not to defame the internal affairs of the German Third Reich, and tried hard to improve the domestic people's wrong views of the German Third Reich. The newspapers changed their appearance, not only all of which stopped attacking the German Third Reich, but also mainly introduced diplomatic events based on the sources of the German Third Reich. All anti-German literary works were removed from the bookstore.
Before Ribin Tropp could finish his speech, he was interrupted by Bethrich.
"Shut up!" Bethrich seemed furious, only to strangle Ribintrop to death.
The senior generals also performed differently, and Fridge obviously agreed with Ribintrop's plan to attack the Third Reich of the German Empire.
Xu Yang just smiled at Ribin Tropp's speech and then changed the topic. Sometimes, doing something is not entirely based on the surface, but politics is like this. While smiling, should you stab the knife or the knife after laughing.
