Battle of the Third Reich

Expanding the army is the only way to solve the problem of insufficient troops. However, Germany cannot expand its arms without limit, and it must take into account the ability of Germany to withstand its national strength.

The Imperial Command has formulated a detailed military expansion plan, which is currently being evaluated by Xu Jun’s current cabinet. If this plan is implemented, the German Army, Land, Air Force will expand its army by 30% to 5.2 million within a year. The expansion of the armed SS directly under the head of state has not been included.

This is close to Xu Jun's estimate of the limit of Germany's ability to withstand troops. In Xu Jun's mind, the bottom line for the German Defence Force is six million people.

Moreover, even if this plan is implemented now, it will take at least half a year to train these troops for combat effectiveness. It is quite a huge project to equip these newly formed troops.

Even if the German military expansion is completed, whether the number of troops can support large-scale battles on two battlefields at the same time, Xu Jun is not too sure. If you add the distant Asian battlefield, if you are not prepared enough, you are not careful , Germany may fall into the quagmire or even fall directly into the abyss.

However, if adequate preparation and proper use of strategies and tactics, perhaps only a small number of troops are needed to achieve the effect he wants, Xu Jun is still a little confident in this regard. The key is how much is this small amount, in addition, how can the troops be fully prepared to be considered adequate.

Regarding these questions, Xu Jun is ready to let the staff of the command headquarters discuss this. In this regard, they are more professional than him and should be able to give Xu Jun a satisfactory answer. Of course, the content of the discussion was rated as the top secret of the empire.

Before everything is ready, Xu Jun still has a lot of work to complete.

According to Xu Jun’s preliminary estimate, Germany’s accumulation of sufficient strength in Asia to confront the Japanese army will take at least eight months.

Prior to this, Xu Jun's Asian strategy wanted to be implemented, there is another key issue that must be resolved as soon as possible, that is, a complete defeat of the United Kingdom. Xu Jun’s current strategic plan for all directions is based on defeating the United Kingdom. Only by defeating the United Kingdom can Xu Jun let go of his hands and feet, completely change the overall structure of the world, and establish a new international order.

This raises another question. . . . Time, it takes time to complete all this, and what Xu Jun lacks most now is time.

Germany has already won the European battlefield. Although the Battle of England has not yet begun, everyone can see that Germany will be the final winner.

Xu Jun does not have any doubts about the arrival of peace in Europe. The first thing he has to consider now is how to maintain this precious peace, so that he can have enough time to adjust his strategy and accumulate strength to face the challenges from Soviet Russia and other hostile forces. .

Now he has piles of plans to complete, and there are mountains of work waiting for him to do, and there are countless troubles waiting for him to solve. Under the conditions that all aspects are not yet mature, he really cannot and cannot promote the development of the Asian strategy at this time.

So, he came up with the current plan. It can help China and benefit Germany, without wasting precious time.

First, Germany must resume contact with the Chinese government as soon as possible.

Although from an official point of view, China and Germany have not cut off diplomatic relations. But in fact, Germany’s ties with China are already half-broken. Due to Germany’s excessive relations with Japan in the past two years, coupled with the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ group of Nazi intellectual disabilities and Hitler’s deliberate promotion of the Asian idiot, Germany The temperature with China has dropped to near the freezing point in history.

China seems to want to make some remedies in the early stage of the cooling of Germany-China relations, but after discovering that Hitler and Japan are getting closer and closer, especially after the German government recognized the puppet Manchurian government, China gave up diplomatic efforts.

However, Xu Jun knows that China still misses the beautiful days of close cooperation with Germany, and has been expecting that Germany will be able to regain its aid to China.

In history, until Germany completely allied with Japan, and the German government recognized the Nanjing Wang Puppet regime, China truly cut off diplomatic relations with Germany. Before that, even if Hitler was pro-Japan, China still retained several diplomats in Germany. office.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek is a political speculator. Xu Jun knows this very well. If he can get enough benefits from it, he will definitely face Germany without hesitation.

Xu Jun had seen a piece of intelligence obtained from the British side at the beginning of the war by the intelligence department of the headquarters. The content inside made him stunned.

Chiang Kai-shek even asked the British government if China needed to participate in the war. If the British government agreed, China could immediately declare war with Germany, provided that the British could give him enough assistance.

Fortunately, the British Empire was unsuccessful at the time, and the self-esteem of the boss empire prompted them to categorically reject Chiang Kai-shek's proposal, arguing that the British could not help the Chinese without the help of the Chinese. Britain could defeat any enemy who challenged her.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this matter may be regarded as a joke, but in Xu Jun's eyes, the degree of sinisterness makes people shudder at the thought.

Xu Jun really squeezed cold sweat for China. The so-called loss was a thousand miles away. If Britain agreed to China's request, what would China do? Xu Jun dared not even think about it.

If China declared war on Germany at the beginning of the war in Europe, with Hitler's character, he would never forgive such provocation. This paranoid genius will certainly view the declaration of war from a distant and weak China as an insult and contempt for him personally and even for Germany as a whole. He can tolerate the challenge of a powerful empire, but he will never tolerate the provocation of a weak country.

This guy will definitely regard China as his personal enemy and will use all means to retaliate against China at all costs.

The result will be catastrophic, and Japan will receive more support and assistance from Germany, whether technically or materially, or even politically. Germany will force those sovereign countries with colonies in Asia to support Japanese aggression, rather than acquiescing them in dealing with Asian issues as historically, Japan will get most of the resources she wants in 40 years.

And because China declares war on Germany, she will lose access to weapons and support from other neutral countries, which is why China has dragged on until the outbreak of the Pacific War before it officially declared war on Japan. By that time, only the British empire and her dependents, who were able to support him publicly, would be left with only half a breath.

No matter which of the above strategies Germany adopts, it will have a huge impact on the Asian battlefield.

Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek’s stupid request was rejected by the arrogant British government, and with the clearing of the European war situation, the clever chairperson never made a similar request. Presumably he was also surprised by his departure Let out a cold sweat.

Now Xu Jun is here, and Germany’s Asian strategy has begun to make a 180-degree turn. I don’t know if the Chinese Washington will lose his chin because of the British rejection.

Xu Jun will not be stupid enough to help him and his ** government unconditionally. Germany does not have as many people as the United States to defeat. The United States has given this ** government tens of billions of free aid, and in the end all hit the water Drift, it is not going to be any better if I change to Germany now.

Germany cannot have the idea of ​​supporting a certain Chinese regime and benefiting from it. Xu Jun does not want to stand on the opposite side of the Chinese people, especially after learning about this period of history.

Xu Jun's initial positioning for Germany was that before Germany officially intervened in the Asian War, Germany would be China's best friend and friend. . . . supplier.

Germany will provide China with various weapons and equipment of good quality, huge quantity and reliable performance, as well as corresponding ammunition and supporting materials.

Germany will provide China with all killing weapons except some types of heavy equipment, and can train Chinese soldiers to use these weapons for free, but China has to be responsible for the salary and accommodation of German teachers.

Germany can also export senior military consultants to train Chinese middle and lower-ranking officers. Commissions are calculated by the consultant level and seniority.

Germany can even provide China with the latest mechanical processing equipment to manufacture certain types of weapons and equipment. Germany will also send corresponding technical personnel to guide training. Of course, China can also send personnel to Germany for training. Of course, this also has to be charged.

Germany’s major military academies will recruit students from China in an all-round way, and can allow students from China’s military schools to study in Germany to learn more advanced military theories and technologies. If he is willing to serve in the German Defence Force for a period of internship For exercise, Germany will also give a certain reduction in tuition fees.

Germany will decide the technical level and quantity of the goods on the supply list depending on the situation in China. If China gains a strategic advantage, Germany will consider putting more advanced and high-end weapons on the shelf. If the situation in China deteriorates, Germany will Can only provide the most basic weapons and equipment.

Xu Jun thought about this for a long time. Although he had thought of selling the most advanced equipment from Germany to China, he thought that some equipment might appear in the Zhan Guo Exhibition in Tokyo in a week or two. In the past, Xu Jun could only gritt his teeth and gave up that tempting idea.

Of course, these businesses have to wait until they have re-established ties with China. In order to show Germany’s attention to this, Xu Jun decided to send a high-level diplomatic delegation to China. As the head of the team, Xu Jun chose to serve Marshal Blumberg who passed the German Defense Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the German Defense Forces.

The reason is that this old soldier is high enough, with enough qualifications and rich experience, and loves Germany. The most important point is that he is the most idle one among the existing German marshals. . . .
