Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 339: The head of state's response

Berlin, September 23, 1940, at 3 pm, the head office of the head of the German Chancellery. Major Dizenhofen leaned against the desk at the reception desk in front of the door and looked at the schedule for the afternoon. The adjutant was wearing the first-class Iron Cross medal on his chest at the moment. This was awarded to him by Xu Jun in recognition of his outstanding performance in the headquarter base camp in the past six months.

As a personal assistant deputy, he basically has no chance to go directly to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the medal can only be obtained by the personal decision of the head of state. But at this time, no one will stab at this issue. The performance of this young adjutant is obvious to everyone. Whether it is the headquarter or the Imperial Command, Disenhofen has won the praise and recognition of most senior commanders. Many people are convinced of this The young man will surely have a bright future like Jin Fei and Huang Tengda, as long as he does not fall out of favor in front of the head of state.

"Is there such a thing?" The Air Force Chief of Staff sitting on the sofa outside the door waited suddenly exclaimed. In the quiet and empty corridor, the sound was loud and loud, and immediately attracted the general officers waiting around. Gaze.

"Sorry." The Chief of Staff of the Air Force quickly apologized to colleagues around him.

"I also got the news just now that the navy is preparing to organize a voyage around the world. I think the head of state will summon us this time, maybe he will raise this matter." Grimm wore a newly-made custom air force general uniform, wearing an air force on his shoulders. The general rank, he leaned in front of Yeshunek and answered quietly.

"As far as I know, it seems to have something to do with the head of state's East Asia plan. It seems that there was something wrong with the task force sent to French Indochina a while ago. Does the Air Force Staff have any information in this regard?"

"The Air Force Command has not received any information at present."

"Because the intelligence is blocked, only a few people can know now, such as that one." Grimm pouted in the direction of Disenhofen.

"If the head of state wants us to know, he will tell us the truth, Graham, we are now the air force of the head of state." Yasunek raised his finger, reminding Graham to be cautious.

At this time the door of the office opened, Himmler stepped back out, nodded again at the door to the room, and turned around only after the door closed completely.

"Hello, Eric, it's really good weather today." Himmler didn't pick up the military cap handed over by the adjutant aside. He took a handkerchief from the pocket of the breeches and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Mr. Minister, it's a good day." Disenhofen put the schedule back in the folder, then paid a gentle greeting to Himmler.

"Yeah, it's just a little hot. Goodbye, Eric." Himmler put his handkerchief back into his pants pocket, took the military cap from the adjutant's hand and put it on, then nodded at Disenhofen.

"Goodbye, Mr. Minister." Disenhofen respectfully bowed to him.

"Right, Eric." Himmler stopped.

"Is there anything? Mr. Minister."

"Is there any time at night? I want to invite you to come to my house for dinner. My wife has been thinking about you and Pebby wants to see her Eric brother again." Speaking of his little daughter, Himmler's face Rarely showed a warm look.

"I am free after eight in the evening." Disenhofen replied with a smile.

"It will be set at 8:30, you know the way to my house, then see you at night." Himmler nodded again at Disenhofen, and then turned around to take his four adjutants and guards away quickly .

Xu Jun, the head of the Third Reich, sat behind his desk, supported his chin with his right hand, and looked down at the report before him.

"At present, we can only mobilize quickly paratroopers, but the existing number is obviously insufficient to support large-scale combat operations. How about the training and equipment of the newly formed paratroopers? At present, there is no copy of the air force. The exact data report was submitted." Xu Jun turned over a page of documents.

"My head of state, I don't know much about this situation. I used to be responsible for Gorin himself. We" Yeshuneck wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. The Chief of Staff of the Air Force for months has been busy with the command and coordination of the Battle of England. Besides, the infrastructure construction of the subordinate units is not within the scope of his chief of staff.

"How is General Studen's health now?" Xu Jun raised his eyes and looked at Yeshunnec.

"The injury has been healed, and he is now undergoing rehabilitation treatment," Yasunek replied.

"If possible, let him come to Berlin once. I now need an experienced commander to give me some advice." Xu Jun picked up the pen on the table and owed his name to the document.

"The Air Force can obtain 370 of the latest fighter jets before the end of the month. I fully support your opinion and expand the enrollment of aviation schools. The fuel and material supply should be guaranteed. Now we have a large number of experienced pilots Waiting for retirement, we can extend their service time and transfer to various flight schools to become instructors. As for the extended service time, it is tentatively scheduled for two years." Xu Jun pushed the document to Yeshunek .

"Also, the German navy will organize a round-the-world voyage in October, and the first stop is selected on the west coast of the United States. The Air Force needs to prepare an observation mission to accompany it. Its main task is to understand the development of the air forces of the countries along the way and further evaluate the air forces of these countries Strength. Graham, I hope you can serve as the leader of the observation team. The specific members of the team will be selected by you. Make a list for me in the past two days." Xu Jun said to Graham.

"The development speed of the Luftwaffe is gradually accelerating. We have acquired the most advanced aviation technology in the UK and France. We have the best designers, power experts, the most advanced aviation materials and production and processing technology. It can be expected that the future Newer, stronger and better aircraft will continue to be produced. The only things that currently restrict the development of the Air Force are the personnel who operate these weapons and the open-minded commander. I am looking forward to the results of your trip. Lime, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, I hope you can take it seriously." Xu Jun lit the match and lit the cigar.

"Yes, my head, I will never live up to your expectations." Graham obeys his respectful insignificance, holding his bitter gourd face.

"Okay, I'm here today, you can step back." Xu Jun put down the cigar and waved at the two of them.

"Hi, Reinhardt." The two quickly stood up and raised their hands to salute Xu Jun.

Xu Jun watched the two nodded and turned their wrists to show their salute.

"My head, General Weiller is waiting outside." After the two air force generals left, Disenhofen opened the door and came in.

"Eric, what do you think of this matter." Xu Jun didn't talk, he frowned and looked at the file in his hand.

"I think Marshal Blumberg has the ability to handle all this, haven't you already given him full responsibility." As soon as he looked at the cover of the document in his hand, Disenhofen knew which one Xu Jun asked. thing.

"It doesn't mean that. Do you think that maybe I was wrong?" Xu Jun held a cigar and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"I don’t know what to say, my head of state. But I have always believed that all the decisions you make are for the resurgence of the German Empire. Perhaps you will encounter some setbacks along the way, but under your leadership, the third The empire will surely win the final victory." Disenhofen replied solemnly with a serious face.

"I'm glad you told me this, Eric, please ask General Weierle to come in." Xu Jun lowered his head for a moment, raised his head and said to Disenhofen with a smile.

"Observe my head." Disenhofen nodded.

"My head of state." Weierle strode to Xu Jun's desk, and the roots of the boots stood up and saluted.

"Please sit down, Weierle, let's have a cup of tea first." Xu Jun picked up the teapot and two clean teacups from the wooden coffee table next to his desk.

"Thank you, my head." Weiler sat down and thanked him.

"Okay, okay, don't look at me with this expression, you know this thing has annoyed me." Xu Jun pushed the tea cup in front of Weiler.

"This is just an accident. My head of state, you should never doubt your judgment for the mistakes of others. You are the head of empire. You can mobilize millions of troops at any time and easily crush a country in this world. No one dared to defy your authority," Weiler said respectfully.

"You don't understand the ancient eastern country and the leader they are now." Xu Jun shook his head and then took a tea cup and drank it.

"I have ordered Fisher of the German Agency to protest to the other party. In the handling of the incident, we must not let those people lead by nose. We have to regain the initiative. I have ordered Ribbentrop and Anglo-French. The government has negotiated, and on this matter, the two countries have made it clear that they will stand on the German side."

"My head of state, are you going to block all communication lines between the British and French colonies that lead to China? Will this hit China too badly?" Weierle frowned.

"As a result, the Japanese will be very happy that we did this. I'm afraid they will make a fuss about this matter and drag us to their side. As you said, the Japanese's ambition for the Southeast Asian colonies has already shown It is becoming more and more obvious. I just spoke with the British ambassador by phone. He said that the British government is very worried about the crisis in South Asia." Weiller reported.

"They want to expand the garrison in Singapore and request us to support a batch of artillery equipment. They need new fighters, long-range bombers and naval patrol aircraft. Prime Minister Chamberlain also asked me if it was possible to mobilize a German army armor The troops went to support the local defense." Xu Jun said with a frown.

"If armored troops are used, the only area suitable for combat seems to be the central plains of the Malay Peninsula, where there is a very good road transportation network." Weiller apparently consulted local information.

"So I'm still thinking about whether it is necessary to do this, but the British have placed a lot of orders during this time. They are really eager to rebuild the local army in order to strengthen the control of the colony." Xu Jun took it from the drawer A map book was produced and turned to the page of the map of Southeast Asia.

"Now the Chinese National Government’s external communications are all under the control of the British and French colonial authorities. It is mainly the Yunnan-Burma Road in British Burma and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and Highway in the French Indochina Federation. After losing the southern coastal port in early September , They can only rely on land transportation to maintain external contacts." Xu Jun said with a frown.

"I will not completely cut off these traffic lines, as you said earlier, this will cause serious damage to China, especially now that they are facing the worst situation, this kind of behavior makes it easy for the Chinese to think that we are in Falling down, and triggering the resentment of the entire Chinese society towards us, we will lose the trust and friendship we have established with the officials and people of this country. However, I cannot allow the other party to provoke Germany at will, we must take out The attitude that conforms to the current German identity, so that the other party will consider it before doing stupid things in the future, the price they will pay for it will be absolutely unbearable." Xu Jun was really given this time by corruption and chaos within the government. Annoyed, although he had a deep understanding and understanding of that period of history, when he really faced these incredible facts, he still felt unacceptable.

"The United Kingdom and France provided detailed information. I decided to embargo the goods of these fifteen companies. The external explanation could be to carry out road capacity integration adjustments or routine tax inspections. Anyway, whatever the reason, some people Some lessons must be accepted." Xu Jun handed a document to Weiller.

"My head, this is." Weierle looked at Xu Jun puzzledly.

"These companies belong to the high-level family industry. It can be said that they control most of the political situation in this country. If they are smart enough, they will know how to remedy. I believe this time Blumbo Marshal Ge’s visit will definitely be worthwhile.” Xu Jun sneered and closed the map book on the table.
