Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 378: New troops
Of course, Xu Jun will not decide on such a major issue on the spot. Although he is a dictator, he cannot do whatever he likes. In addition to holding enormous power, the German head of state also shoulders the responsibility of leading the entire nation.
Although the plan proposed by the United Kingdom is very close to his expected goal, Xu Jun is not ready to respond soon. He wants to investigate and approve carefully to prevent any traps in it. After all, the British have a lot of history. It makes people feel a little uneasy.
After sending the two British envoys away, Xu Jun immediately contacted the Eye of Odin to obtain recent surveillance data on the UK and all relevant diplomatic intelligence, and at the same time ordered them to use Germany’s internal lines in the UK to clarify the British cabinet What is the real purpose of this plan?
This plan will never be so simple on the surface, Xu Jun subconsciously feels that there must be problems in it that he doesn't know. At this time, the British government is not like later generations filled with politically correct fools, but a large number of elite bureaucrats who understand global strategy and have been immersed in officialdom and politics for a long time for the British Empire and individuals. Benefits These people can have no bottom line at all. If you accidentally sell them, you will count the money for them cheerfully.
It seems that the British also knew that this plan could not be approved soon. They came in such a hurry, but they showed a considerable degree of restraint and patience. This kind of contradictory performance is a bit strange.
The Eye of Odin has never disappointed Xu Jun. Soon a large amount of strictly selected information was put on Xu Jun’s table. Weirle took Kirsten to the Führer’s Palace. Explain the collected information on the spot.
Through a series of interrelated and unequivocal evidence, the true idea of the whole incident was soon exposed to the head of the empire. Sure enough, just as Xu Jun had previously guessed, the British did encounter difficult troubles.
As explained in the previous article, when the British empire's P-shaped flag was lowered from Buckingham Palace, it also landed at the same time as the sun never sets. The empire has accumulated a century of glory and fame. Although the dignified British Empire still has its prestige on the surface, the debilitating nature has been exposed. This has made a large number of forces unwilling to bow under the Emperor's scepter to see the hope of changing their situation.
The British Empire has not yet been completely divided into the British Commonwealth of later generations. The major colonies under her opponents still have the power to directly control, and many future member states are still dominions under the empire at this moment. In addition, the British Empire also controls a large number of protected countries and trustees, as well as territories directly controlled by the British. The rapid failure of the British Empire directly affected the political stability of these regions.
The British Empire is no longer an invincible and unwarranted Huanghuang Empire. Her fleet that used to cross the world has also suffered heavy losses. The reputation of the British Army is now a laughing stock. Those who choose to hide and forbear under the strong pressure of Britain The forces are now starting to move around.
In the entire territory of the British Empire, sparks are lurking everywhere at this moment. Once the anger and humiliation that have been suppressed for many years erupt, its power is enough to change the world.
The British government is really scared, because once there is a problem in any area, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, and with the current strength of the United Kingdom, it is simply unable to effectively control it.
What makes Britain even more worried is that they have noticed that in many areas of their subordinates, the relatives on the other side are extremely active. Obviously, the distant relative on the other side can't wait for the end of the British Empire, and is now anxious to cut the delicious part of the weakened sun never set empire.
The United States has always regarded Britain as the most important opponent, and their purpose of supporting Germany is to include this intention.
Previously, the British Empire could rely on the powerful and invincible Royal Navy to suppress the other side, and rely on the influence of a large number of colonies to withstand the invasion of American capital. But the problem is that now all of this has disappeared with the war. The British Empire has lost its barriers and capital against powerful foreign enemies. The empire’s developed colonial market and its abundant resources and wealth are like nothing at this moment. The resistant piglets were exposed to a group of greedy wolves.
At this time, seeking help from the United States is tantamount to attracting wolves into the house. The British Empire cannot sit back and watch its many years of business and fall into the hands of those shameless upstarts.
British politicians have the same attitude on this issue. In the end, they decided to propose to Germany for a closer alliance. To put it bluntly, they are willing to share their wealth with European allies, and they will never leave it to the despicable group. A lowly domestic slave.
Actually, the British people’s thinking is very correct and extremely realistic. Only when the British Empire collapses to Germany will it not be excluded from the new European system created by Germany.
The British know very well that once the British colonial system collapses, those greedy carveers will not generously leave her with half a dessert. If they lose European support, the consequences will be disastrous. Britain may sink into a third-rate country, just like Spain was once so prominent. At the same time, Britain can't expect the help of relatives on the other side, because the decline of Great Britain happens to be in the arms of some people.
The British are at stake now, but for the sake of some face issues, they don't want to be too clear with the Germans. They also know that with Germany's intelligence collection capabilities, and with so many insiders in their own country, it is only a matter of time for the Germans to understand the whole thing.
So after Xu Jun understood the whole thing, he didn't know for a while what kind of expression he would use when summoning the two British envoys next time.
He found that he did have negligence on this issue. The British colonial system was built under strong military suppression. Therefore, after the decline of the British Empire’s national power in history, each colony One after another out of her control. If the British Empire’s huge Royal Navy fleet and millions of elite armies still existed at that time, come and see who else dared to jump out and find it uncomfortable.
Xu Jun has been paying attention to the reconstruction of the European mainland and the changes in the situation in the Far East during this period, but he has overlooked the plight of the British Empire, which is close at hand. He originally thought that the British mainland should be honest and not cause trouble. Everything was fine, but I didn't expect the British to throw this problem for him so quickly.
"The question is very clear, my head of state, I think the empire can agree to the demands of the British." Weierle sat upright and made suggestions to Xu Jun.
"I originally only wanted to master a land transportation line from French Indochina to India. I didn't expect the British to come up with such a thing, it is indeed impossible to refuse." Xu Jun elbows It rests on the round table top with the palm supporting one cheek.
"What about your opinion? Keitel." Xu Jun raised his eyes and squinted at the chief of staff of the command.
Kettel had just returned from Austria, originally came to Xu Jun to report here, but was caught by the head of state.
"My head of state, I suggest that this issue be discussed at the regular meeting of the command." Keitel replied respectfully.
"Your Excellency Marshal, what I am asking is your personal opinion." Xu Jun straightened up, moved his neck, and took the half-extinguished cigar from the ashtray.
"I personally think that the resources, manpower and material resources required for this plan are very huge, and it is likely to affect the completion of our planned strategic plan." Keitel leaned slightly and pointed to the map on the round table.
"My head of state, in order to maintain the stability of such a large area, the number of troops that need to be invested will never be a small number. And many of these areas we have never set foot in, we need to obtain sufficient intelligence support. In order to work out a corresponding combat plan.
It might be easier if you can get the support of the local government and officials in the UK, but it seems that many local officials have participated in the rebellion, so these people must first go through strict screening before they can be trusted.
Although the German Wehrmacht can face any challenge, the training of soldiers is not designed to deal with these problems. "After Keitel was promoted to Marshal, he finally possessed some auras that matched his identity, and being able to speak out in front of Xu Jun was a huge improvement in terms of his own personality.
"Your concerns are reasonable, Keitel." Xu Jun lit his cigar and nodded Keitel's direction with his cigarette butt.
"The purpose of the British is to rely on the power of Germany and other European countries to maintain the stability of the British Empire colony. It is undeniable that they hold a certain degree of selfishness, but it can be seen that they also have a certain degree of Sincerely.
Moreover, their goals are not inconsistent with our current strategy. We can't just focus on European defenses, but also consider the issues in the Middle East and Asia.
Except for Africa, the main source of resources in Europe is now Southeast Asia, where the precious metals, rubber, petroleum, medicine, food and various light industrial products that we need are produced, and the vast market there is the most important for our products. Good sales location.
It is expected that we will be able to earn more than 1.5 billion Deutsche Mark in profits next year in the Asian region, India, Malaya, Dutch East Indies, Myanmar, French Indochina, the Philippines and China. This was before the outbreak of the war. Five times.
We must not sit back and watch certain people and certain forces mess up all of this. It is in the national interest of the Greater German Empire to maintain a stable situation in the Asian colonies and the Eurasian communication area. "Xu Jun pointed at the map~IndoMTL.com~ said loudly.
"My head of state, we can now send advance personnel to these areas to investigate the specific local conditions, and then make corresponding plans." Colonel Kirsten calmly suggested.
"Very good, Vogelinde, your idea is very good, immediately send someone to implement it." Xu Jun took the cigar from his mouth and sprayed smoke in praise.
"My head of state, I suggest that the high command set up a special team to study this plan." Weierle added.
"Yes, let Yordel be directly responsible. He should be free now. At the same time, as Keitel just suggested, we have to discuss at the regular meeting of the command." Xu Jun nodded and spouted again. Up a smoke ball.
"My head, how can I reply to the British before the results come out?" After all, Keitel's nature is difficult to change, and he resumed his cautious attitude.
"According to their request initially, we must first make our allies feel at ease. What they lack now is morale." After Xu Jun's mouth was slightly raised, several of the present also showed tacit smiles.
"Now I am preparing to form a force, the scale is controlled by one armored division plus two mechanized infantry divisions, and it is estimated that the scale will be expanded in the future. After the formation of the force is completed, I will send them to Egypt." Xu Jun Pointing to the map on the table with his cigar.
"The name of the troop, um...it will be the African Army for now." After speaking, the head of the empire showed a triumphant smile.
