Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 46: Blumberg (5)
"My head of state, do you mean to restore the arms trade with China? But if we do so, we will definitely have conflicts with Japan. How can we ensure that this plan will not suffer Japan’s Destruction and obstruction, Japan and China are at war. They will not let us directly support China.
And, as far as I know, the current situation in China is not optimistic. Although they need our weapons very much, according to their current financial situation, I can hardly believe that Germany can benefit from this plan. Get real benefits. "
Blumberg is a pragmatic soldier, he unabashedly raised his concerns to Xu Jun.
"My dear Marshal, these questions you raised exist and are very difficult. I can see that you have done some research on Asian issues. However, I have already taken these into consideration when this plan is still in the making Problem, and came up with a targeted response plan.
Let’s take a look at what Germany will gain from this plan if it is implemented. Weierle, please show the investigation report of the base camp staff to the marshal. "
Xu Jun made a gesture to Weierle. Weierle pulled out a folder from his bulging briefcase and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
"You already know our latest military expansion plan, Marshal."
Xu Jun picked up the cup and took a leisurely sip of tea, then stood up.
"According to our current weapon production capacity, it will take at least two to three years to arm the newly formed troops."
Xu Jun walked to the huge world map on the wall.
"We don’t have so much time, my marshal. Our enemies will not give us so much time."
Xu Jun stretched out his hand and patted the eastern part of Europe on the map, turned around and said loudly: "Our surrounding environment is not as safe as we thought. The Slavic countries in the Balkans are all about to move, and they are full of each other. Contradiction, as long as there is a peninsula of Mars, it may explode.
Italy, I can no longer tolerate Germany being used by that hypocritical, stupid, and arrogant leader. Mussolini is a huge trouble. If Germany continues to let this arrogant do whatever it wants, sooner or later we will be dragged into a disaster by him. He arrived in Paris yesterday. I am going to meet with him tomorrow. I will let him know who is the real master of Europe now.
The United Kingdom also controls Gibraltar and the Mediterranean. We must gain absolute control of this area, otherwise the revival of Germany will be empty talk.
These colonies, as well as those Arab countries, the resources of Africa are the key to the restoration of prosperity in Germany and Europe as a whole. However, in order to gain control of these areas, in addition to diplomatic means, it is more important to have a strong force as a backing.
We cannot count on those Italians, we have fully understood the combat effectiveness of their so-called elite troops. Therefore, in solving African problems, we can only rely on our own strength.
In addition, there is Germany’s biggest potential enemy in our east, Russia. "
Xu Jun paused, then pointed to the map and said, “Although I don’t want to admit it from the bottom of my heart, this is the truth. Russia’s threat to Germany is growing rapidly. After the three Baltic countries were annexed by her, we are now Face to face with this huge monster.
Although we still maintain cooperation with Russia, the relationship seems to be good, but this does not conceal the fundamental contradiction between Germany and Russia.
Since his empire, the Russians have been eyeing the land and wealth of Europe. Although they have great strength, they have always been excluded from the European social circle. European countries never give Russians any opportunity to intervene in European affairs, which makes them always worry about it.
But now, their chance has finally arrived. They have annexed half of Poland, and then annexed the three Baltic countries. This is their first step towards Europe.
Next, they are bound to use this as an opportunity to penetrate into Europe. Their primary goal will be here. . . . "
Xu Junzhu pointed at the map and said, "Balkans!"
"This is the easiest place for them to succeed. It is the key for them to open the door to Europe. Most of the residents there are Slavs, and the Russians have good reasons to pull them into their camp.
And the historical obstacles that prevented Russia from entering Europe no longer exist. Germany defeated France, expelled Britain, defeated Poland, defeated all the low countries, and removed these traditional obstacles for Russia. . However, because of this, Germany has become the only country in Europe that can prevent Russia from expanding its power in Europe.
Germany will never sit back and watch Russia’s expansion, which will seriously damage Germany’s national interests, and Russia will not tolerate the existence of Germany as a threat that blocks their way forward. If Russia starts to penetrate Europe, the confrontation between Germany and Russia will be unavoidable.
And, on this issue, I think the Russians must have been preparing for it a long time ago. From the so many Russian spy networks that we have uncovered, it can be understood that they are not merely concerned about Europe. Therefore, Germany must make all preparations before Russia, and we must build an armed force that can resist and even defeat the polar bear. The arms trade with China is an indispensable key part of this huge strategy. "
"We must build a strong line of defense to protect the security of Europe, we must expand our arms production scale, we must build more advanced weapons, and strengthen the combat effectiveness of our army.
We also have to make sure that while making these preparations, we will not stimulate the polar bear, make her take risks and disrupt our overall plan, so we must find a reason to convince the Russians. The launch of the arms trade is a very convincing reason.
China’s army is huge and it is in the midst of a war. The demand for weapons and ammunition is huge. In addition, Russia and China have relatively close relations. In order to entangle the Japanese military on the Chinese battlefield to ensure the safety of their Far East, Russia has also imported a lot of weapons into China. They even sent a volunteer air force to help China resist Japanese air power. attack. "
"Well, they are gradually withdrawing their aviation team, my head, this is the news I just got."
Weierle said from the side.
"This shows that they are trying to improve relations with Japan, and I’m sure the two countries will sign a related agreement soon. If my judgment is correct, Russia is preparing to focus her strategy Fully turn to Europe."
Xu Jun walked to the front of the coffee table and picked up a cup.
"We are now very short on time. We still have too many problems to solve. We must complete the overall adjustment of the military production system as soon as possible.
The huge demand will boost production, and the demand of the German Army alone is not enough to stimulate the expansion of the entire European military industry. "
"Sorry, my head of state, what did you mean by the entire European military industry?"
Blumberg has been quietly savoring Xu Jun’s words, Xu Jun’s previous analysis and predictions gave him a deep shock, but before he could digest the information, Xu Jun threw another one heavy bomb.
"Yes, my marshal, I am talking about the military industry throughout Europe. To complete our strategy, we must mobilize the power of the entire Europe.
For example, France has a lot of excellent military enterprises, strong production capacity, and strong research and development capabilities. If we put these powers aside and do not use them, it would be a waste.
In addition to the military industry, we also need to mobilize related civilian industries~IndoMTL.com~I want the whole of Europe to use this as an opportunity to complete post-war reconstruction and prosper again as soon as possible. "
Xu Jun put down his teacup and took the document from Brumberg.
"With our current number of military-industrial enterprises and production scale, it is impossible to achieve the basic goals set forth by the commander in a short period of time, and a large amount of capital and resources are required during this period.
Where do we get those funds and resources? This is an issue that we have to pay attention to. Some people in the Imperial Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Arms and Supplies have proposed plans to requisition materials and funds from the occupying powers in Europe. . . . Don't worry, my marshal. "
Xu Jun waved his hand to Blumberg who wanted to interrupt.
"I denied their plan on the spot. This is a stupid short-sighted behavior, which will make future generations pay a painful price for our current short-sightedness.
The plan I proposed is to mobilize the old European arms companies with a large number of orders and related interests, attract them into our business, and let them participate in our military expansion plan, which will not only reduce the German arms companies The burden of the country, but also the resources and funds we need.
In addition, if they taste the sweetness of this plan, the relations between Germany and these occupied countries will also be improved.
