Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 280: Planning

The meeting lasted for a full hour and a half, and the officers at the meeting reached a consensus. At least the Army Command’s attitude was clear. In view of the navy and air force’s consistent performance of looking at Xu Jun’s head, it’s impossible to think about it. What other thoughts does the head of state have on the decision? During the meeting, only a few preliminary response plans were discussed, because the detailed report from Blumberg has not yet been handed in. Without knowing the specific details of the incident, it is impossible to formulate further detailed plans.

At present, it should be certain that from the scale of this incident, it should not be a planned invasion, but just a border conflict. It is unclear whether it was premeditated. The problem is that four countries are involved. The place of the conflict was in the territory of the French Indochina Federation. It was the Japanese army occupying Chinese territory that provoked the conflict, and the French colonial forces and the German SS fought back. The little one has the same boarding conflict, which involves the forces of China, Japan, Germany and France, and can all join together in a mahjong table.

Another point that needs special attention is the conflict between Japan and the Western powers on the territories of third countries that have become colonies. This can not help but remind people of the Russo-Japanese War that year. Even though Japan won victory by relying on its geographical position, However, because of the pressure of the world powers at that time, they lost the dividend they deserved, and finally made the Japanese recognize the essence of European imperialists, and they began to move on the road of militarism.

Because of the strong strength of the European powers, Japan had to bow its head in front of the strong in the face of pressure. However, the European war has just ended, and the military strength of most European countries has been severely weakened. Faced with the European countries that have suffered five hard work and seven wounds. At present, no one can make accurate guesses as to how Japan will react after the incident.

However, no matter how the Japanese reacted, Xu Jun will not change the decision he has made. This is not a matter of volition, but the current situation forces him to show a tough attitude. This is not a simple diplomatic issue. It involves the implementation of a large number of follow-up plans and the completion of strategic ideas. The entire plan must not be affected by the mere Japanese-German relationship.

This is a grand strategy that affects the life and death of Germany and the entire nation. Xu Jun finally got to this point. He has completely lost the possibility of retreat, and he can only move forward in front of him, carrying the responsibilities and dreams of the entire country, and continue to move forward until the day of final victory or destruction.

The efficiency of the German Navy is very high. After receiving the call from Colonel Phil, he immediately issued an assembly order to all German ships operating along the coast of Africa. Fifteen surface vessels including two camouflaged assault ships and six ocean-going submarines were all fully operational at this time. Horsepower sails towards Singapore, this will be the first public response made by Germany. Next, the fighter squadron of the Air Force will also begin to move towards northern French Indochina. Will participate in the patrol operations in the northern airspace of French Indochina, and at the same time order the special envoy to start liaison with the Chinese side, and establish an air transportation route from French Indochina to the inland of China in advance, so that the members of the mission will To and fro.

After the meeting, it was almost time for lunch. Xu Jun left Brausic and Halder for lunch. The two senior German generals looked flattered. Xu Jun also knew that they were just Use this attitude to declare personal loyalty.

"Bethan just knew about it." Xu Jun unwrapped the napkin that was placed on the side of the dinner plate.

"My head of state, I am not surprised at all. This is their usual efficiency." Halder said to Xu Jun cheerfully. A waiter was standing beside the chief of staff, pouring golden white wine into the glass beside him.

"Betain still wants to test my attitude. After hearing my affirmative answer, I can hear him obviously relieved." Xu Jun picked up the knife and fork and began to cut the food.

Today’s lunch was French fried cod. The ingredients were very delicious, and the chef was very thinking. The cod fillets were fried to golden brown and topped with fresh lemon juice and decorated with mint leaves.

"My head of state, when are the French going to protest to Japan? Franz. Can you pass me the salt, thank you." Taking the salt shaker from Halder, Brauchich went to the cod A few grains of sea salt were sprinkled on the block, and then the fish was scooped up with a dining fork and put into his mouth.

"Betain said that it is best to be consistent with us in diplomatic actions. What a cunning old fox. In fact, he was eager to protest in his heart. This involves the authority and reputation of the country, and the French can no longer tolerate it. My country has lost its honor again, especially the Japanese who have been despised by them."

"If there is no support from Germany, those proud Gallic chickens can only yell a few times. They still have the strength and courage to fight the Japanese army." Halder put down his knife and fork. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"If you hadn’t had your previous vision, the French had only eighteen infantry battalions in French Indochina at this time. This force would also have to defend the entire country and complex-shaped borders. The scattered forces would simply not be possible. Resist Japan's military provocations." Brausic complimented.

"The vision of the head of state has always been what I admire the most. My head of state, this time the actions of Marshal Blumberg’s envoy will definitely attract the attention of the Japanese side. Will it affect our plan? I worry about them. The trip to China will be blocked by the Japanese army." Halder expressed his concern.

"When does Germany's diplomatic actions require the consent of the Japanese? Moreover, they have not had the courage to provoke Germany directly. They still need to purchase the resources and equipment they urgently need from Europe."

"The marshal was very right. The mission of the special mission involves Germany's own interests. We don't need to take care of the Japanese thoughts." Xu Jun tore a piece of white bread, dipped it in the fish sauce and put it in Mouth.

At this time, Japan had a lot of trade with Europe. Japanese products were famous all over the world for their crude quality and poor quality. Except for locally produced raw materials, domestic industrial products could not open the European market at all. Japanese products that have no international competitiveness can only be dumped to the more backward Chinese market. These products are inferior goods with backward design and rough craftsmanship in the eyes of Europeans. In backward China, they have become high-end Toyo products with low prices and advanced designs. , The dumping of Japanese goods has caused a great impact on China's domestic manufacturing industry and commerce that are just in its infancy.

Conflicts of interest forced Chinese businessmen to launch a counterattack. In addition, Japan's wanton intervention in Chinese affairs during the period from the end of Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China has committed numerous atrocities against China. The Chinese people have long been against this greedy and brutal neighboring country. With too many negative emotions accumulated, a few sparks can ignite the patriotic enthusiasm of the people, let alone a dedicated person behind it. At that time, the Japanese people were most afraid of hearing a sentence that was boycotting Japanese goods, and every time China set off this trend. The Japanese economy will immediately fall to the ground.

The Japanese army provoked the war of aggression against China. In addition to its own strategic purpose, there was no strong agitation from the major chaebols. Japanese businessmen wanted to forcefully occupy the Chinese market by force. They can dump their cheap products to China unscrupulously. However, the market share is limited. Japan’s dumping affects not only China’s manufacturing industry, but also a large amount of foreign capital invested in China, especially the trading houses of European countries, which were forced by the Japanese by various means in the Japanese occupation area. Squeeze out the market. European multinational business magnates have long been dissatisfied with Japan's insatiable and ugly appearance, but because most of the European armed forces are confined in their homeland, they are somewhat beyond the reach of the far east.

So is it time for Europe to free up? Xu Jun’s answer is no. There are still a lot of things to be solved in Europe itself. Just stabilizing the situation of the defeated countries is not a problem that can be settled in one or two months. In the hearts of the people of European countries, the war has ended at this time, and people are looking forward to the restoration of peace and tranquility before the war.

Only a few politicians can freshly realize that the threat has not passed, but is slowly accumulating. Therefore, in a short period of time, the domestic policies of various countries can only choose to comply with the will of the people. At this time, the stability of the society and the reconstruction of order required at this time must not put too much pressure on the people. That would surely shake people's hearts.

So how to make the people realize that the threat of war has not disappeared without causing panic. This will be an extremely difficult task for the propaganda media of the governments of various countries. The conflict that broke out in Asia at this time is a good subject, and of course it must be fully utilized. Germany can also use this as a reason to accelerate the integration of various European industrial production systems.

At the same time, the French Army also has sufficient reasons for rearm and expansion. The reorganization plan of the European Joint Force can also be put on the table for discussion without worrying about the disgust of the people of various countries. Because the previous wars were too tragic, the anti-war voices in European countries are now rising and war-weariness is pervasive. Thousands of war-victim families have become firm pacifists, and those hawkish politicians with tough attitudes before the war have all been confronted by the people. Liquidation. Such as former British Prime Minister Churchill and French Prime Minister Renault. Distorted by the media and turned into bloodthirsty warmongers and lunatics who provoked war for personal gain, they have been spurned and hated by the people of the two countries. Every day, countless letters are sent to British and French government agencies and prisons where they are held. Demand for the immediate sentence of death for these two war madmen who harmed the country and the people.

Xu Jun just took this opportunity to reawaken the hearts of the Europeans. After all, not only the French live in Southeast Asia, almost all European countries have immigrants there. For example, the United Kingdom is currently the country that cares most about the situation in Asia, especially after the defeat, India, the queen's crown jewel, has produced resources and acquired wealth as well as huge manpower. The restoration and construction of the United Kingdom has taken a pivotal role. Once the situation in Asia is found to be unstable, the British will be the first to jump out and ask for more troops there.

As for the large number of British colonies and dominions~IndoMTL.com~ It turns out that, except for Australia and India, at the critical time, none of them are reliable. In particular, Canada on the other side even wanted to fish in troubled waters to annex Britain’s assets in the Americas. It turned out that Britain and Germany had signed an alliance treaty. They immediately stopped being ethical. Without saying anything, they climbed back to the sovereign state and licked it, making the British parliamentarians really sick. No, I can’t wait to kick the Canadian envoy out of the hall of Westminster Palace.

Because the suzerain has the full power to declare war and make peace, after the British surrendered, a bunch of British dominions that followed the declaration of war also proposed a truce to Germany. Australia persisted until the end. When they were surprised to find that only Australia was still at war with Germany, the kangaroos, who were always thinking slowly, realized that they were pitted by the overlord again, but this became Australia in the future. The theme that people show off to outsiders.

Nowadays proud Australians will not know that the German head of state has set his sights on this vast and resource-rich British dominion. Australia’s geographic location determines that if he wants to defend Southeast Asia, he is an excellent rear base. Once the situation in Southeast Asia gets out of control, he can become the best safe haven.
