Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 36: Military Discussion (1)
"This is not a joke!"
Xu Jun glanced at the German celebrities present. Except for the thoughtful look of the three giants in the command, almost everyone had an expression similar to that of being suddenly slapped on the head, and their eyes flashed with extreme shock. And confused.
Xu Jun is very satisfied with the current reaction of these professional officers. He originally thought that the meter of his post medicine might be slightly larger, but now it seems to be just right, achieving the kind of effect he wanted.
"There must be a lot of people here who think that I am alarmist."
Xu Jun maintained that awe-inspiring expression, his cold eyes swept across the face of every general sitting at the conference table.
The meeting room has a large space. It was originally a large shelter and command post built by the Paris government before the war. This central meeting room can accommodate more than fifty people for military meetings. It has complete facilities and is full of French style. The gorgeous decoration.
This fortress is twelve meters deep into the city. It is entirely constructed of reinforced concrete. It is also protected by armored steel plates with a thickness of 50 centimeters in some key positions. At the time, it was considered a first-rate set. Fortification system.
The French used the most advanced technology and equipment they had at the time in this underground shelter, coupled with their rich experience in building and using the Mazzino line of defense, making this shelter There is a French bunker culture everywhere, which makes every German soldier who sees the internal facilities of the fortress for the first time marveling. The French can actually lie on box-spring beds and drink martinis to fight.
The most advanced air conditioning and ventilation system at the time transported filtered fresh air to every corner of the bunker. Of course, this meeting room was no exception. The temperature was carefully adjusted to the most suitable temperature, which made people feel comfortable. Not being able to feel the depression of being underground also makes people forget the summer heat on the ground.
But now, the French sophisticated air-conditioning system seems to be useless in this meeting room, because everyone feels a kind of bone-chilling chill, like the cold when they are in an ice cave, especially in the Empire When the head of state's eyes fell on him.
"Is there anyone who doesn't understand what I said?"
The meeting room was quiet. No one answered his questions. All Xu Jun saw was flashing eyes that avoided his own gaze.
The imperial head of state sighed and shook his head, with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the emotions at the scene were suppressed a bit by himself, and he had to relax a little.
"Who can tell me why we are fighting?"
Xu Jun asked in a calm tone, his expression as relaxed and casual as possible, he almost immediately heard a breathless sigh in the conference room. It seems that he really scared them just now, Xu Jun thought to himself.
"In order to rejuvenate Germany, my head of state, I believe that all the chiefs here are as willing to give their all for this goal, my head of state."
A voice suddenly replied loudly in the silence, and the officers present could not help looking at the place where the voice sounded.
"Very well, Colonel Dogen!"
Xu Jun nodded to Daogen who stood upright like a javelin and had an excited expression on his face.
"Gentlemen present, is your answer the same?" Xu Jun turned to look at the officers.
"Yes, my head, everything is for Germany!"
Von Brauchicy, who was depressed because he was robbed of the top spot by the extremely cool SS colonel, immediately replied loudly without hesitation.
"For the motherland."
"For the great Germany."
"For Germany."
The generals who responded hurriedly followed the commander-in-chief of the army to reply. It seems that many people are also regretting their hesitation before, and the voice of the answer is getting louder and louder.
"I am very pleased with everyone's answers. Your loyalty to the Empire is beyond reproach."
Xu Jun smiled and looked around the conference room. The famous generals and subordinates deliberately stood up in front of the young head of state to show their determination.
"We are fighting for German revival, but..."
Xu Jun lifted the red Marshal's scepter on the table and gently knocked it on the conference table covered with gold threaded sapphire velvet tablecloth.
"Will this war really bring German revival? Has anyone seriously considered this issue?"
Xu Jun turned his gaze to the left, where a group of army and Waffen-SS generals sat.
"I know that many of you in this room have more or less opposed the yellow war plan before the war. There is no need to excuse now, Chief of Staff." Xu Jun shook at Keitel who wanted to speak. Shake the scepter.
"The same goes for the navy side, right, Marshal Raidel." Xu Jun looked to the right hand side, where a group of navy and air force generals sat.
"There is nothing to say about the air force. Goring was still the commander-in-chief of the air force at the time, so there is no need to expect him to consider any strategic issues." Xu Jun smiled at Mirch and the air force commanders who were sitting in the distance Said.
"It now appears that your previous concerns are justified. Although the expected strong resistance of the low and middle countries and the heavy losses we may suffer have not occurred, we have also achieved incredible results and the ultimate Victory."
Xu Jun's face sank.
"However, I did not see the dawn of Germany's re-emergence from these glorious victories. On the contrary, I saw that Germany has fallen into a dangerous situation, because we can no longer stop."
Xu Jun paused, and he was very satisfied to see the thoughtful looks of the officers now.
"Adolf Hitler!"
Xu Jun suddenly said the name loudly, and the atmosphere in the audience stagnated.
"For the sake of God, don't look at me like that. You won't tell me that you have forgotten this name, right?"
Xu Jun held the scepter and knocked on the table.
"Adolf Hitler! I regret now that I believed everything he said."
It’s weird to believe, even Jack, the insidious man-made person, has never thought about it this way. Xu Jun feels amused secretly, but there is an expression of contrite on his face. It’s true that Daogen thought it was that period His Excellency the head of time may be really fooled.
"I believed his words, winning this war is a necessary condition for German revival. However, I now know that we are all deceived by Hitler, a crazy guy. War not only cannot bring revival to Germany, on the contrary It will also ruin our decades of efforts."
Xu Jun continued with a heavy expression: "Hitler never seriously thought about how Germany will develop after the victory of the war. He didn't even take the time to study this problem. His goal only exists in his craziest. In fantasy, there are no actual measures or plans for how to correctly handle the problems we may face.
All he wanted was war. Apart from unrealistic dreams and self-expansion, this corporal had never really considered how to build a country. He only considers power, ambition, interests, and how to satisfy his distorted personality. "
Xu Jun paused hard for the scepter.
"We fought to achieve his crazy ambition, and the soldiers died for that crazy goal. The revival of Germany, yes, Hitler said so, the Germanic nation is the ruling nation, Hitler It’s said that the Germans will rule the world, and Hitler said it. It’s ridiculous that we believed this, and what’s sadder is that we actually did it like this."
Xu Jun paused for a moment, and he looked directly at the generals' surprised eyes.
"It is impossible to establish a new Roman empire in this era. Times are advancing, the gap between nations is narrowing, and regional culture has become deeply entrenched, but Hitler wanted us to believe that we can accomplish this cause. Germany will become the new Roman Empire, a millennium empire that will rule the whole of Europe and the world, but he will rely on only powerful force!
But, are we really as strong as we feel? My answer is, no, we are not yet strong enough to build that kind of empire, and we will run out of the last drop of blood on the journey. "
Xu Jun glanced at the silent generals.
"All the officers present here are either the commander of the group army or the commander of my direct legion. Today’s meeting will be listed as the top secret of the empire. After the meeting, all the meeting records will be sealed. I don’t want anyone to leak it. Give out any information about today’s meeting, because the issue I am discussing with you today is related to the national security of the empire and the future of the German nation."
Xu Jun nodded to the generals who put away their notebooks.
" As I said earlier, we are not strong enough. Indeed, although this is difficult for everyone to accept, but this is a fact! I once said that our victory now depends on sufficient luck and limited advantages. But no one can guarantee that this kind of luck and advantage will always be with us, with Germany.
We are ahead of our opponents with only new forms of tactics and a few technical weapons. We caught them by surprise. At this point, I have to admire Adolf Hitler. He is always keen to find a favorable opportunity to start a war. .
However, favorable opportunities can only increase our winning base to a limited extent, but for long-term strategy, this may not be a good thing. "
Xu Jun shook the scepter in his hand.
"Now we have won, and France has surrendered. As far as I know, most people in the country think that we have won and half of Europe has become our trophy. But have we ever thought about whether Germany has Is there enough ability to digest this huge spoils? Can we face the problems hidden behind the huge benefits that this victory has brought us?"
"This, the Imperial Cabinet seems to have a plan..." Keitel said aside.
"Don’t mention that stupid plan. To tell you the truth, Hitler never thought about any occupation plan before the war, because he never thought we would win so easily, and the cabinet even had a decent occupation policy. There is no real plan. As far as I know, there is only one essence of the stupid plan you mentioned, plunder!"
"What? Robbery?"
Feng. Brauchich exclaimed softly, although he had known all the contents of the plan. But at this time, he felt that as the commander-in-chief of the army, he had to give out an exclamation to set off the atmosphere, because this was what the head of state needed.
Sure enough, he got a look of approval from the head of state.
"All the resources that can be snatched by the occupied country, whether it is finished products or raw materials, factories or mines, are just a list of numbers on the looted list. Those that can be shipped back to Germany will be shipped back, and those that cannot be shipped back. Hand over to those domestic companies to divide up, just as they did in Poland." Xu Jun looked at the clever army commander approvingly and continued.
"It's so stupid, it will definitely cause fierce resistance from the residents of the occupied country."
Ron Destedt shouted loudly without losing the opportunity.
"No way, my head, the honor of Germany will be ruined by this behavior. We are not thieves."
"General Küciler is right. It must be the group of chaebols who only think of profit."
For a while, the crowd was angry.
"I am glad that everyone will be angry about this. Indeed, this problem is the first crisis encountered in Germany."
Xu Jun waved his scepter to calm down the generals present, he continued.
"Germany lacks sufficient resources. I think everyone is already very clear about this problem. It is caused by our poor surrounding environment, and of course it is also because of the harsh import policy that we set ourselves.
All of you here are soldiers~IndoMTL.com~I don’t want to talk about political issues here. What I want everyone to understand is that we do not have enough resources to support the operation and development of a large army. If we want to obtain resources, we can only improve our surrounding environment and expand more channels for the circulation of materials and resources.
And now, victory in the European battlefield is an opportunity before us, but as I said before, once it is not handled properly, it will also become a crisis for the empire. The military must play a key role in this issue. This is the first substantive issue I have mentioned so far, how to ensure that our resources can maintain the long-term operation of this huge army. "
"My head of state, are you talking about maintaining a huge army?" Xu Jun's new chief adviser von Blumberg asked on the side.
"Yes, we must now guarantee the existence of this huge army. Not only that, but we must also consider how to expand the size of the army and continue to develop it. This is the problem the army is facing now."
As soon as Xu Jun's voice fell, a suppressed discussion immediately rang out at the scene.
"My head, can you tell me the reason for your consideration?" Von Blumberg asked.
"My marshal, don’t you understand that we have fallen into the vortex of war. For us, the victory of the French campaign is not the end of the war but just the beginning~ IndoMTL.com~ Welcome to book friends Come and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~IndoMTL.com~
