Chapter 39: Planning
.The Third Reich under Ten Thousand Characters Volume 5: Battle of Britain
"Is that true?" Xu Yang buried his head in a pile of documents. That was the official business he had to handle today.
The person standing at the desk was Joseph, who came to report the conversation between Heidrich and Galearzoziano and Hiro Oshima.
"Yes, my head of state. His Excellency Minister Heidrich and his two guests have been transferred to the Museum Island east of Daocheng. His Excellency Heidrich believes that it is necessary for the two guests to have a deep understanding of our country's history, which will help the two guests to understand our country's traditions subjectively. Mr. Hiroshima is very interested in our country's history and he delivered a passionate speech at the Frederick Museum."
Xu Yang looked up at Joseph and asked in a silence: "Where is Galeazzoziano?"
Joseph's expression became a little strange. He was silent for a while, as if conceiving words. He replied: "Mr. Ziano seemed to be in a low mood. He strongly asked His Excellency Heidrich to have in-depth conversations with him and had many quarrels with Mr. Hiroshima. My head, the gentleman from Italy, could not wait."
"Yes..." Xu Yang signed his name on another decree and stamped it with a seal, and he sighed: "The Italian army encountered tenacious resistance in Yugoslavia and Greece. In the Greek Ionian Islands, Italy once again staged a play that had been played in Albania. Under the coordinated combat of the superior navy, they were defeated by the Yugoslav armed militia before they even had time to set foot on the beach on the west coast of Yugoslavia. I now begin to believe that Italians are only suitable for singing operas, playing music, and perhaps adding to women. They can't do anything except these."
Joseph was a little worried, "My Head, then you..."
Xu Yang smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking. Many generals are going crazy. Our invincible army actually has such an incompetent ally who doubts about what Italy can contribute to the Axis powers. I told the generals that we now need a stable rear, our country is connected with the Italian territory, and now our army stationed in the Eastern Province (Austria) is insufficient. Most of the troops scattered in the southeastern mountains of Austria are scattered in the southeastern mountains of Austria are guarding against Yugoslavs. And we also need the Italians in southern France, the Central Sea threatening the French. The Italian army is incompetent, but the Italian navy can still provide escort for the Axis powers' transport fleets in the China Sea and the Black Sea."
Because Italy declared war on Yugoslavia and Greece, as Italy's military alliance, the Third German Empire also became the warring party. Yugoslavia and the Eastern Provinces of the Third German Empire were connected. In order to ensure the security of the Eastern Province, the Supreme German Command temporarily dispatched the troops stationed on the Italian border to the Yugoslavia border, but there was no plan to launch an attack. The Hungarian army also made a reasonable response. The 4th, 1st Cavalry Division and 3rd Air Squadron of the Hungarian Army moved to the Yugoslavia border respectively. At the same time, Romania, as a member of the Axis powers, also symbolically transferred the newly formed 112th Infantry Regiment to the Yugoslavia border. Currently, Romania's first enemy is the Soviet Union.
Yugoslavia is a country dominated by Slavs, and there is a red armed regime supported by the Soviet Union. However, the Soviet Union's power did not have an advantage in Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia's national conditions decided that she would not join the alliance, so she could only hope that the Soviet Union would provide assistance. At present, the Soviet Union is busy annexing the aftermath of the Baltic Three Kingdoms and had no interest in intervening in Southern European affairs. Moreover, the Soviet Union does not want to offend the German Third Reich, which is at its peak, so the Soviet Foreign Minister just delivered a speech focusing on the war in Southern Europe and there was no following. As for the secret, it was the private contest between the heads of state.
As of now, the Third German Empire did not attack Yugoslavia or Greece at all. Now the primary enemies of the Third German Empire were Britain and France. Before the war between Britain and France ended, the Third German Empire still needed to spend time to digest the newly obtained overseas territory (South Africa, South America, Indonesia). It can be said that the operation of the Third German Empire's state machine is almost loaded. If you add a little more pressure, it may overheat the machine and cause it to fall apart.
Even Joseph understood the pressure that the Third Reich of Germany was currently facing, and sighed unconsciously: Xu Yang pretended to be puzzled.
Joseph admitted: "My Head, are you sure the Japanese will make it easy for us to obtain Indonesia?"
Xu Yang said to it: "I think you are worried that Italy is unhappy about our country's failure to send troops to Yugoslavia?"
Joseph shook his head, "My Head of State. Italy is a proud country. He will not want others to share the fruits within reach unless he has to. I worry about Japan's attitude for you."
Xu Yang smiled. He smiled very confidently, and there was no way to explore whether it was pretending to be confident. He said: "I understand that island country. As long as we continue to win on the European battlefield, it will not dare to peek at us. It is an unimaginable country. I am not saying that it is good at fighting or beautiful. People raised by that island country can be extremely humble when they fear someone. The stronger you are, the more envious it will, admiring you, and even pay a little price to please you."
Joseph was stunned when he heard this, "What a strange country. When we Germans face a powerful enemy, we always want to challenge him and long to defeat him on the battlefield. A powerful enemy is worth conquering! Any dignified person never shows humility to anyone. They... are they really a group of people who cannot understand?"
Xu Yang shook his head and said seriously: "Joseph, if you think that the Japanese do not challenge the confidence of the strong, you are wrong. The Japanese are a patience-minded people. When they are weaker than you, they always try every means to please you and learn knowledge from you. Once a Japanese surpass his teacher one day, that is, when the Japanese begin to become arrogant. Their inferiority complex determines the nature of the nation. Once a humble person becomes arrogant, the teachers who teach knowledge to this nation will be persecuted. The Japanese will crazily massacre the nations that teach knowledge to express their superiority. It is a nation that never understands what gratitude is."
Joseph asked: "My Head, are you talking about the country that Japan is invading now, and was a Japanese teacher before?"
Xu Yang was silent for a long time. He stared blankly at the files on the desktop, and it took him a long time to look up and say, "Yes."
Joseph understood that his head of state did not want to have a deep conversation, so he began to change the topic, "My head of state. According to your opinion, His Excellency Heidrich did not give Galeázzoziano a clear date. It is also a verbal agreement for our country to agree to sell weapons production lines to Italy. His Excellency Heidrich is confident that the date of shipping the production line to Italy will be dragged to the time you think it is most suitable."
Xu Yang promised to sell the Messe Schmid 109e Emil, a short-range bomber of the Type II tank, to Italy. These three production lines were also considered in detail. These three equipment were basic equipment in the army of the Third Reich of Germany, and were used widely. When new weapons were produced and about to be put into force, the performance of these three equipment was lower than that of the new equipment. In order to allow the German military factories to profit from outdated old equipment, it became inevitable that the weapons that were mature and were about to be eliminated by their own country. This not only allowed the country to obtain additional reserve funds, but also helped promote domestic military factories to research and update combat equipment.
Xu Yang asked: "The generals and the officials of the Military Industry Alliance agree with my approach.
Joseph replied: "The generals agree with your decision. The CEO of the Military Industry Alliance, your father, has a small question."
Let me guess." Xu Yang smiled a little indulgently, "The generals agreed because their troops were about to replace with new equipment? As for my father, he was wondering why I didn't sell finished products, but chose to sell the weapon production line of raw golden egg hens, right?"
This is also the doubt that Joseph and most people do not understand the officials.
Xu Yang decided to give his first adjutant a good economic class. "my country has very shortage of raw materials. Wasting resources that are not large enough to produce outdated equipment to sell to other countries, which will consume our lifeline. We are not short of scientific and technological strength, but we lack resources. Our resources need to be used in the most reasonable place. Directly sell weapons production lines to friendly countries, so that they can not only feel the trust and value of our country in their lives, but also charge the patent fees they deserve from these countries without consuming anything every year. "My head. Are you saying that technology is the primary productivity?"
It was Xu Yang's turn to be surprised. He understood this, but Joseph could learn from one example and deduce this famous saying from a few simple words, proving that Joseph not only has military talent, but also has his own views on the internal affairs of the country.
"Well! Joseph, you said it very well! As long as we master the field of science and technology and have been ahead of all countries in the world, our country can use our scientific and technological capabilities and our wisdom to sell the products we have developed, earn funds for the country and the nation, and with funds, we can buy the raw materials that our country lacks from other countries."
"So since we can obtain resources from technology, why do we still have to start a war?" This sentence can only be thought of in Joseph's mind, and he dare not say it. But Joseph knew that those who learned that technology can obtain resources for the country and the nation must have the same questions in their hearts.
Xu Yang is a very sensitive person. When he saw Joseph's lips moving, he didn't say anything. He seemed to guess that Joseph wanted to say something, but was afraid of offending him. He asked tactfully: "Do you understand what you have?"
Joseph was one of the main people trained by Xu Yang. In the years to come, the role Joseph had to play decided that he must fully understand Xu Yang's ideas. Because of this, Xu Yang always tried his best to explain to Joseph the questions.
As a subordinate, could Joseph say something? He knew very well that his head of state wanted to continue the war, and even if he expressed his views, it would be useless. After all, the Third German Empire is in a state of war now.
Simply put, even if the Third German Empire is willing to make a ceasefire, the Allies will never agree. Just imagine. Germany, which started the war, suddenly said one day that she did not want to fight and hoped to use peaceful means to resolve the dispute. What does the Allies, which have been passively beaten, think?
The first idea of the Allies is definitely: the Germans are conspiring, don't be fooled, we must grit our teeth and eliminate all Germans until we win.
oh……
The Allies want to win? That is to say, Germany must admit defeat. Once again signed the surrender letter, and without any objection, accept the punishment of the Allies against Germany?
Haha! Is this possible?
If you ask the current German generals, they choose to see the Supreme Commander sign the surrender letter or choose to fight until the last moment. There is no doubt that most generals will choose to die in battle.
Just like Adolf Hitler said in another world history: our struggle can only have two consequences: either the enemy steps over our bodies, or we steps over our bodies!
Once the war begins, it will never stop unless one side falls. It is not that you don’t want to stop, but that you can’t stop.
As a soldier, Joseph was concerned, but he could not doubt the orders issued by the Supreme Commander. The duty of a soldier was to obey. Even if he was unwilling to do so, he had to obey and could not hesitate!
Joseph forced himself to cheer up, stood upright, his legs together, and said loudly: "My head of state, Lord Krupp, the Minister of Ordnance, has completed the task you assigned. Lord Krupp asks you for instructions. What else do the Ordnance Department needs to do next while transporting new equipment to the front line?"
In order to successfully carry out the sea lion plan, the German Ordnance Department had already made preparations secretly before the start of the Polish Battle. After the end of the Polish Battle, the German army successfully annexed Belgium and the Netherlands, captured the entire northern part of France, and occupied some areas in western France. According to the requirements of the Supreme Command, the Ordnance Department not only established radar chains code-named Golden Eye on the Belgian coastline, the Dutch coastline, the western and northern coastlines of France, but also built twenty-six large and small airports provided to the German Air Force.
At the same time, the Ordnance Department urgently produced tens of thousands of plastic camouflage objects in accordance with the requirements of the Supreme Command. These plastic camouflage objects were made of plastic tanks, armored vehicles, assault vehicles, rocket launchers, aircraft models, small assault ships, and landing crafts. They will be deployed in a reasonable place in accordance with the development of the war, and their function is to serve the landing operations of the Sea Lion Plan. They are used to deceive the British and are strategic auxiliary tools to confuse opponents.
Xu Yang pulled out a yellow folder from the left side of the desk. The German government department used reasonable distribution techniques in efficiency. In the administrative department, each folder of different colors clearly stated that document, which one must be processed as soon as possible, and which one can be temporarily viewed.
The yellow folders Xu Yang now extracts are pending files second only to the red folders. The content of this document is to report on the development of the war on the French front:
In order to make France die quickly in the true sense, the National Defense Forces adopted a roundabout way to fight Wei Gang's newly established hedgehog defense line.
The French did not absorb the mistakes in the Maginot Line, but gathered the remaining troops to garrison on the Hedgehog Line. The National Defense Forces adopted a roundabout way to leave the French team far behind again until the 15th Armored Army of Joss had controlled the Seine from Vernon to Le Havre, and the 39th Army and the 41st Army had also passed a road in northeastern France) and began to advance towards the Reims and the Aene River. The 9th Army rushed straight to Paris.
Rick, who was newly appointed as the commander of the 1st Army, accepted Rommel's suggestion and dismantled the 3rd Armored Division under the 15th Army to station Saint Valerie. The remaining troops took over the formation of the 10th French Army. The west wing where the remaining troops of the British Mountain 51st Division were located was also occupied by the 9th Armored Division under the 15th Army that rushed up.
After France lost the Seine River, Havre, this line of defense, Paris, the capital of the Third Peace of France, because the French government hastily fled to Bordeaux (a port city in southwestern France), she declared Paris an unguarded city, at this moment she was like a naked beauty posing in front of the German Third Reich team, waiting for the order of Xu Yang, the supreme ruler of the German Third Reich, to be picked by Xu Yang at any time.
"Haha, the Italian gentlemen also seem to want to taste the beauty of Paris. They are desperately attacking southern France, trying to open a passage to Paris. Unfortunately, Mussolini's army was not strong enough. The French team, which was beaten to no avail by us, showed their courageous combat power in front of the Italians. The three disabled French infantry divisions firmly blocked the attack of 160,000 Italian gentlemen."
Joseph once again found that his head of state liked to tease the Italians very much. Similarly, he expressed indignation and disdain for the Italian army's remarks that he clamored to march at the Arc de Triomphe, wash his military boots in the Seine River, and move the Eiffel Tower back to Rome.
Every German citizen firmly believed that only the invincible German army had the power to march on the Arc de Triomphe in the manner of a conqueror. Of course, the benevolent head of the Third Reich agreed to let the Hungarian subordinate army and the Slovakian servant army embark on the Arc de Triomphe in the Champs Elysées, although the German citizens were wrong.
As for washing military boots in the Seine River? German soldiers have washed military boots over and over again in the Seine River. I heard that the Seine River water is more effective than shoe polish.
Eiffel Tower? According to the head of the Third German Empire, the German army was not a robber. Except for things that were plundered by the French army in history, the German army would not destroy historical cultural heritage. What should be recycled? It needs to be carefully reviewed. Perhaps the crowns of French kings of all generations are on the list of necessary recycling...
