Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 46: Blumberg (6) Resources
Although the Axis Alliance seemed invincible in the original time and space, it was only after Xu Jun sat in the driver’s seat of this chariot that he truly realized that in this magnificent and tragic war From the beginning to the end, Germany has been fighting alone, fighting against the entire Allied Alliance with one country.
Why did it become such a situation? Xu Jun once did some research on this.
During the research process, Xu Jun gained a deeper understanding of the stupidity and shortsightedness of Hitler's Nazi government. Xu Jun was once very puzzled that under the leadership of such a stupid government, Germany was able to fight against the Allies for four years, and until the middle and late stages of the war, it could still cause the other side to suffer heavy losses in local theaters. This is really a miracle on earth. .
When Xu Jun came to this world, he found the answer. The German army is so good, so good that even if it is consumed and wasted by a group of Nazi idiots, they can persist in completing their mission.
The German army continued to fight until the eve of the collapse of the country. The soldiers were still fighting to the end for the motherland, just for the commander’s order to resist to the end, and those noble, shining, and honorable The loyal Nazi leaders are planning how to make peace with their enemies, how to benefit from that kind of naked betrayal, and they are all for the German people.
Xu Jun will not let that tragic history repeat itself in this world, not only for his own safety, but also for the soldiers who have been deceived, fooled, and betrayed.
Throughout World War II, Germany’s national policy can be said to be chaotic. The Nazis did not specify a clear development direction for Germany at all, nor did they formulate a corresponding policy that truly met Germany’s status and situation at the time. .
Hitler painted a beautiful scene of German control of the world for his men, but history has proven that what he set for Germany is the most unrealistic goal.
The German government's decree has been constantly changing during World War II. Not to mention the people of the occupied country, even the Germans themselves were a little at a loss by those whimsical government orders.
The German government didn’t really learn how to deal with an intercontinental war until the last two years of the war, but it was too late. The German government had already paid too much tuition during this learning process, and he had no strength. The final defense is completed.
Fortunately, now history has changed, Xu Jun has come into this world, and he already has that expensive graduation thesis in his hand.
Germany’s stupid occupation policy is the source of all troubles. The extremely short-sighted, selfish, narrow nationalist spirit and the inexplicable state of self-esteem among the commanders of the occupied territories have led to a series of terrible tragedies, which indirectly led to Germany. The final complete failure.
Why did Germany fail? Historians have given a lot of answers.
Someone once said that the key to victory in a war is how to make fewer mistakes than the opponent. Xu Jun believes this deeply. Germany has made too many mistakes in this war. And one of the biggest mistakes is the aforementioned German solution to the defeated countries.
Hitler was a bigoted nationalist. He despised all losers and despised all non-German nations. His personal traces were deeply carved in his occupation policy.
He is a very suspicious person. He doesn't believe in the surrender of the occupied countries. What he wants is not the surrender of the opponent, but the entire country of the opponent.
Although in order to show the world his attitude as a conqueror, he did a lot of superficial articles, such as giving the other party proper self-control. However, he could not restrain his obsession with rights. When he believed that the other party had challenged his absolute control over these lands, he would immediately tear up the agreements and treaties he had signed and did not hesitate in the first place. Step on the opponent for a while.
This self-slapped behavior is not a big deal for Hitler. In his mode of thinking, only agreements he is willing to abide by are effective agreements.
However, it was his almost shameless behavior that caused Germany to lose the opportunity to understand each other with the occupied country, and lost the last glimmer of expectations the people of the occupied country had for the Germans. So when Germany fell into the quagmire on the Eastern Front, it was discovered that the allied countries that had the opportunity to instigate a little, the underground resistance organizations of those countries were springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the German occupation army was exhausted, and it wasted countless precious manpower and resources. .
Although Germany has occupied most of Europe, it has not really grasped the actual control of Europe from beginning to end, nor has it taken full advantage of Europe’s rich resources.
The guiding ideology of the German occupation policy turned out to be plunder and extinction. This is one of the most incredible problems for Xu Jun.
The short-sightedness of the Nazi party leaders is best proved here. These idiots actually want to seize the occupying powers on the grounds that Germany is the leading nation, without considering the feelings of the people of the occupied countries.
The thinking mode of these guys is similar to that of bandits rather than a state official. Victory makes this group of guys go to their heads. They only consider how to fill their huge wallets in the shortest possible time and treat the occupied country as an occupied country. To their private warehouses and banks.
Xu Jun cannot tolerate this happening again in his hands. He must adjust the German occupation policy so that Germany can truly mobilize the power of the entire Europe. Only in this way can he have the confidence to win the difficult future. Battle, complete the promise he gave to his men.
Many historians believe that one of the fundamental reasons for Germany's failure in World War II was Germany's lack of war resources. Some people directly pointed out that the reason for Germany's failure was the lack of rare metals. Xu Jun agreed in principle with these arguments.
But, is Germany really so short of resources?
Xu Jun reserves his personal opinion on this.
He believes that Germany's resources are indeed a bit tight in this war, but it is not as serious as the rumors.
Xu Jun believes that the reason for the outbreak of the resource crisis in the later period in Germany, leaving aside the external cause of the Allied Air Force bombing, was mainly because most of the precious resources were wasted by the government's wrong thinking.
After France surrendered, Germany began to waste resources in their hands. They believed that the war was over and they could enjoy the fruits of victory with peace of mind.
A large number of factories in the occupied countries were completely dismantled and sent to Germany. A large number of production enterprises have been devastated, especially military industrial enterprises, as long as they are deemed useless to Germany, they have been forcibly closed or forced to switch to simple munitions products that are not profitable.
Germany has severely damaged the industrial system of the European occupied areas with looting and blackmail. Because of the damage to its vital interests, it has caused the resentment and hatred of the remaining enterprise workers. Those companies ordered to serve Germany violated the German orders, and the low production efficiency was shocking. The defective rate was once so high that they could not bear it. A lot of precious raw materials were in this silent confrontation. It was consumed in vain.
Coupled with the fact that the Germans are frantically squeezing and depriving the workers of the occupying powers, this is an extremely serious misstep. When those workers find that they cannot feed their families no matter how hard they work, everyone does not hesitate to choose Passive sabotage is a way of protest. When a French aircraft manufacturer could not assemble a fighter jet in a month, repairing a tank took two weeks, and a simple gear scrap rate reached 100%, the Germans were not far from their failure. Far.
The Germans were indifferent to the losses caused by this confrontation. They even thought that this was proof that the other nation was inferior to themselves. They believed that these people would never be able to meet the precise processing standards of Germany~IndoMTL.com~ In order to show the tolerance of the Germans, they even tolerated the continuation of this waste, allowing the factories of the occupied countries to continue to procrastinately produce inferior military supplies and weapons.
In addition, there is another thing that makes Xu Jun almost unable to believe the authenticity of the information. This incident makes Xu Jun start to suspect that the Germans may have the talent for wasting resources.
The Germans are even willing to transport raw materials such as ore back to Germany for smelting by train, and are unwilling to transport finished raw materials to Germany after being smelted and processed on-site at the mining site. This made Xu Jun feel really incomprehensible. The guy who made this suggestion must have had a dystocia when he was born, so that his head was broken by the forceps.
In-situ smelting of minerals and in-situ processing is the most resource-saving way to save resources and manpower. Even if it is needed in Germany, it is more cost-effective and labor-saving to transport finished raw materials or semi-finished products compared to transporting raw ore. This is an idiot. However, the Germans, who are famous for being rigorous and pragmatic, came up with the kind of geniusism that loses money, labor, and wears out. The German internal affairs officials seem to be very fascinated by the sight of raw ores being continuously shipped into German warehouses. They insist that only those that have been processed and smelted in Germany are qualified raw materials, and they do not consider the transportation and processing of these ores in Germany. What will be the price.
However, the most serious waste did not occur on these occupied territories, but on the German mainland. The situation of waste of resources and private encroachment in Germany has even reached appalling levels.
Malicious competition and mutual overwhelming among the various production departments in Germany, coupled with chaotic production management and terrible bureaucracy, the Germans are madly wasting the precious resources that determine their future.
