Chapter 757: Damn Fatty Qiu
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.
The reason why obsession is called obsession is because once such an idea arises, it will not be easily let go, given up or changed.
Even if you hit your head and bleed, there will be no exception.
Only as the entity of obsession, people, this kind of thought will disappear only after it is completely destroyed.
Mustache's idea of attacking the Soviet Union has been around for a long time!
In the 1920s, he wrote in his autobiography "My Struggle" written in prison:
"Germany cannot be satisfied with the borders of 1941. We are nationalists. We must consciously change our pre-war foreign policies and guidelines! We must eliminate Germany's long-term dominance of influence in Southern and Western Europe and set our sights on the East.
…
When we talk about new territories in the future, the first thing that comes to mind is Russia and the slave states it controls!"
Mustache has never given up his obsession, and for this reason he is even willing to take the risk of fighting on two fronts.
It's already April, but damn Fatty Qiu still hasn't surrendered.
The German army was making slow progress on the island of Great Britain, and Mustache wanted to mobilize a large army to attack the Soviet Union, and he was very anxious.
The strongest force of the Third Reich was the Army, followed by the Air Force, and finally the Navy.
One of the main reasons why the navy failed to develop was because of the restrictions imposed by the humiliating treaties after World War I.
The German navy was weak, and the only thing it could use was a few submarines, but they were small in number.
To successfully land on the British mainland, the most critical thing is to obtain air superiority over the English Channel.
Jiangdong helped Prime Minister Mustache do this.
In Mustache's original vision, after the army landed on the island of Great Britain, Fatty Qiu would have surrendered within one month at the earliest and two months at the latest!
But his vision did not come true!
The troops' attack was frustrated, and Xiaowu began to seriously think about the opponent across the strait.
Britain is different from France. France's industry is mainly concentrated in the mainland, so as long as it occupies the mainland, France will surrender obediently.
The United Kingdom is known as the empire on which the sun never sets, and has experienced centuries of development. Its industry has already spread from its homeland to Commonwealth countries and colonies.
Mustache gradually realized that even if the Third Reich spent a year and a half occupying the British Isles, the British would probably not surrender.
Fatty Qiu will go to any place in the colonies or Commonwealth countries to continue to raise the banner of resistance.
Besides, with the full support of the colonies, Commonwealth countries and allies, the war capabilities of the British Isles are getting stronger day by day.
The weak navy could not stop the continuous support from the outside world for Great Britain.
The British Isles are poor in resources, with the most resources being coal.
The high cost and high cost of occupying these islands are not cost-effective.
Mustache even regretted his decision to land on the island of Great Britain.
This also exposed Mustache's bad habit of commanding the army according to his personal wishes.
Now that the battle is halfway through, with no way to escape, and Fatty Qiu refusing to surrender, we are really in a dilemma.
If it continues, winter will begin in Siberia, and the Third Reich will lose its best window to advance eastward.
Looking at the dense information about the Soviet Union piled in front of him, Mustache frowned deeply.
There are currently 5 million people in the Soviet Red Army, while this number was more than 200 two years ago.
What makes people most angry is that those in the Kremlin are quietly moving industries from the west to the east.
The Soviet Union has a vast territory, a large population, many resources, and a strong foundation!
If it were allowed to continue to develop for a year or two, the advantages of the Third Reich would be gone.
There are currently 5 million Nazi soldiers in the Third Reich, 1/3 of whom are dragged to the island of Great Britain.
Such a large army requires a steady stream of resources to support it.
Mustache was not stupid. His original plan was to force Britain and France to withdraw from the war in 1940 and make the Soviet Union surrender or surrender.
Then integrate the raw materials, markets and production bases in the occupied areas, and spend 2 to 3 years perfecting the industrial and economic system of the Third Reich to truly achieve self-sufficiency without relying on foreign trade.
Only after achieving these points will we declare war on the United States on the other side of the ocean and join Blue Star's final competition.
but,
The stubborn resistance of Great Britain frustrated all his plans.
'Damn Fatty Qiu!'
After a fierce ideological struggle, Mustache still decided to launch Project Barbarossa this year.
Don't give the Soviet Union any time to prepare, and then conquer Great Britain after pacifying the east.
Due to its victory in the Battle of Britannia, the air force of the Third Reich was much stronger than it had ever been in history.
The Tiger heavy tank came out ahead of schedule and was heavily equipped with German armored forces!
Although fighting on two fronts, the Third Reich's army strength was not only not weaker than in historical times, but also became much stronger with the support of various advanced equipment.
Under such circumstances, once Plan Barbarossa is launched, the vast plains of Eastern Europe will be the favorite battlefield for tanks and fighter planes.
Moscow...is not that far away!
…………
April 5, Xiyuan.
Soviet General Khachanov and soldiers appeared in front of Jiangdong!
It has been almost two months since I last saw him. Apart from his wrinkles becoming darker and his beard growing a little longer, there seems to be no other change.
There were no unnecessary pleasantries. The two simply expressed their condolences and then went straight to the topic.
"The main army force of the Third Reich has already withdrawn from Great Britain and is undergoing repairs!" Khachanov said to Jiangdong, stroking his beard:
"Hitler was strong on the outside and weak on the inside. The United States supported Great Britain so blatantly, but he did not dare to declare war on it!"
After learning about the Kwantung Army's large-scale exercise plan, Jiangdong has been busy developing this month. He often appears in the army and factories everywhere, with almost no time to rest.
Hearing Kachanov's slightly sarcastic words, Jiang Dong just smiled and said:
"When the cannon goes off, there's ten thousand taels of gold, and the Third Reich is not stupid, so it's natural for it to be as cost-effective as possible!
If you can't get any benefits by landing in Great Britain, then just transfer your troops to other directions. This is a thinking that ordinary people can understand."
The Kremlin had previously believed that both the Third Reich and the American volunteers would suffer losses, giving the great Soviet Union a year or two to develop. Therefore, it was unwilling to provoke a war and even took the initiative to show its favor to the Japanese.
Now that it is discovered that Mustache "has not changed his original intention", Khachanov has come to seek support from North China again.
How could Jiang Dong give him a good look!
Kachanov's face trembled unnaturally a few times. He looked at Jiang Dong and continued:
"We have received news that the Third Reich is expanding its troops, and the total strength is likely to exceed 10 million, including about 7 million Nazis!
This is an extremely terrifying military force! No one country or region alone can stop its iron heel of invasion!"
Jiangdong's eyelids twitched. Seven million Nazis are going to destroy the polar bears in one fell swoop.
he asked:
"General Khachanov, I have been very worried recently. The Kwantung Army's 2 million jade plan has forced me to postpone my move north.
I’m afraid it’s difficult for me to help with European matters. What exactly do you want to say when you come to me today?”
Khachanov stared at Jiang Dong's eyes for a while and said solemnly:
“The Sino-Soviet Railway is almost completed, and the Soviets hope to receive material support through this railway!
Including but not limited to steel, oil, food, medicine..."
Jiangdong could get some of these things and asked,
"I can provide a certain amount of supplies, but what does your country plan to exchange for it?"
"The Red Army needs to use aircraft, tanks, etc. for its own use and cannot be used for exchange! The Soviets can provide a certain number of experts and technical workers from all walks of life. If it fails, we will owe it first, and we will settle the accounts after the fascists are defeated!"
Khachanov spoke confidently and without any guilt.
The Military Science Research Institute is a top-secret location in Jiangdong, and it is impossible for foreigners to participate.
The Tianjin Shipyard is most in need of experts and technical talents right now, so he said:
"Yes, the administrative committee will discuss in detail the specific talents needed and the amount of materials that can be provided with your country's representatives."
"Moscow has agreed to North China's request to use the Trans-Siberian Railway, but the Soviet Red Army cannot fight with you! They must preserve their strength and be ready to reinforce the west at any time!"
"Yes! Understood."
Jiangdong hoped that the Soviet Far East Army would leave as soon as possible, and then let the Kwantung Army, which could not restrain itself, attack northward.
Chapter completed!
