"On the question of the volume of transport, please do not worry, Your Excellency. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At present, the Italian Air Force is equipped with two squadrons of P-108 heavy bombers with a maximum bomb load of 5 tons, and if it is only a one-way flight, then it can fly from Milan to the south-central city of Norrköping in Sweden with full supplies. ”

Fang Yan spoke calmly and confidently: "Considering the normal equipment maintenance and personnel rotation, at least 8 fighters of this type can take off from Italy every day. With a distance of less than 300 kilometres from Sweden to Finland, the 40 tonnes of supplies per day could be easily transported to the Finns even by ordinary transport aircraft. Although this supply was not enough for the German Army to fight for a single day of fighting for one Panzer Division, it was enough in the hands of the Finnish Army to help them hold off the Soviet attack. ”

Hitler squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally a look of joy finally appeared on his face.

Unlike the German mechanized corps, which carried out large-scale maneuvers on the Polish plains, the Finnish army at this moment was based on six infantry divisions as the core, implementing static defense through positional warfare. This meant that the fuel consumption of the Finnish army was at a very low level, which greatly reduced the pressure on Italy to assist Finland. Even if the Finns' fuel reserves were really scarce, the front-line troops would not suffer much. Due to the backwardness of its own military industry, the Finnish army has only a small number of trucks and motorcycles; And at present, it is a winter of thousands of miles of ice, and the supply of the Finnish army is almost entirely dependent on animal power and skiing, which has nothing to do with mechanization!

With this factor in mind, all the supplies that Italy had airlifted could have been ammunition as consumables. Hitler was also a grassroots soldier who had been honed in trench warfare on the Western Front for four years, and he knew the weight of ammunition and combat consumption by himself: according to the calculation of 25 grams of standard rifle bullets and 7 kilograms of standard field gun or mortar shells, Italy could send at least 700,000 rounds of ammunition and 3,000 shells to Finland in a single day. Although this number is far from sufficient in offensive operations, if it is only for a force of no more than 100,000 people to defend, it can still meet its needs by six or seven percent.

What's more, this one-day shipment is only a conservative estimate, and the Finns must have some ammunition in their arsenals - after all, the Soviet Union and Finland have been at loggerheads for more than 20 years, and since the Finns have trained a group of high-quality snow infantry, there is no reason to be too lax in the field of arms reserves.

Although this was still a matter of imagination, Hitler was able to conclude that the Roman government would not let go of this avenue of effective support for Finland. And Germany can also take the opportunity to stabilize the Italian top and concentrate on wrestling with Britain and France on the Western Front. Compared with simply giving aid to Italy, planning this path of fame and fortune for them obviously made the limelight Mussolini rejoice!

"Jonas, would you like to write a letter to your family on this subject?" Hitler asked expectantly, with bright eyes. Fang Yan smiled slightly, and took out a letter from his jacket pocket: "Respected Führer, I have already written this letter. It will appear in the hands of the uncle within 10 hours. ”

Ribbentrop's pupils widened suddenly, and his face was full of disbelief. The man in front of him was obviously a brigadier general, but how could he be so keenly aware of the Führer's intentions in summoning him, and still be able to take precautions and find another way to solve the difficult problem that plagued the German authorities cleanly? Originally, Ribbentrop was still dismissive of the arguments in the People's Observer that Fang Yan was a pure-blooded Atlanteans, and believed that this was the result of a dirty deal between his uncle Walter and the propaganda minister Goebbels, but at this moment, Ribbentrop suddenly discovered that this young man was really an amazing genius with several miracles, as the newspaper said!

Hitler's eyes flashed, and he nodded lightly: "In that case, ask Jonas to send it out." ”

With a crisp footstep, he walked away from the marble gallery outside the door, and after a while, calm returned to the prime minister's office. Ribbentrop looked stunned, looking at Fang Yan's disappearing door in a daze: he never thought that this thorny diplomatic problem would be solved by Fang Yan and a soldier, and the solution process was still so easy and easy! In contrast, Ribbentrop himself was completely reduced to a useless foil, and how could he gain the trust of the Supreme Leader in the face of Hitler in the future?

Ribbentrop, who realized that he had to express something, calmed down and said slowly: "Your Excellency, Brigadier General Brom still has a very obvious element of the German government. Not to mention that his uncle is the Minister of Economy, and the friendship between him and you is well known throughout Germany. It still seemed inappropriate for him to pass his will directly to Ziano like this. "Well, I admit that your vision is far from comparable, but in terms of implementation, it still seems too quick and ill-conceived.

"Joachim, you still don't know Jonas. Since he had written this letter in advance, it meant that he had anticipated the overall situation and the importance of his wife's family. In that case, how could he personally go into the water as a German general? Hitler glanced at Ribbentrop, and his indifferent gaze made the latter's nerves tense. Hitler took a breath and said, "I reckon that this letter was probably written by Jonas to the Italian Foreign Minister in the name of his wife. Even if the Lord Ziano sensed something unusual, he could not point the evidence at us. As for the Soviets, they can't blame us even more. ”

Listening to this analysis, Ribbentrop was truly stunned. If it is really as Hitler said, then Fang Yan's actions in this matter can be called perfect! He tried to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything; If we continue to dwell on this issue, we will only bring humiliation upon ourselves in the end.

Seeing the depressed and frustrated look on the face of the person in front of him, how could Hitler not know his dog's thoughts. Hitler's face became more serious, and he said: "Mr. Foreign Minister, your eyes should not be confined to Italy in the south. There are still many places in the German Motherland that need your job. ”

"The Soviet offensive in Finland was frustrated this time, and some countries in Eastern Europe that were not yet under Soviet control must have a different idea. For a long time to come, your mission is to give them the courage to resist the Soviets and slow the polar bear's westward expansion. When I settle the issue on the Western Front, I hope to see an Eastern European that can be integrated against the Soviet Union. ”

Ribbentrop was so shocked that he immediately claimed that he was. He suddenly found that he had neglected his own work, and he only wanted to redeem the heel he had planted on Fang Yan. As Hitler said, there are currently two countries in the East that Romania and Hungary can start with: the former has little grudge with the Soviet Union, and the latter is also a dictatorship and fascist system like Germany, and its leader Horthy is a complete prodigarian. If he can do this errand well, what is the face that Fang Yan has taken away from him today?

The night was like ink, the moon was like a hook, and little Chiano, dressed in civilian clothes, leaned back on the soft sofa and leisurely looked at the stack of high envelopes on the coffee table. As one of the hottest personalities in Italy at the moment, Ciano Jr. receives at least a hundred letters a day: either government officials slapping their names on their knees or bribes offering generous gifts for promotion. Even if the family's wealthy little Chiano has long lost the motivation to receive gifts, some unshirkable favors still make him get a lot of money, and today, little Chiano estimates that he can buy all the luxury shopping streets in the center of Milan.

"Ah, it's a letter from my little sister! She rarely thought of me as a brother. Little Ziano's eyes suddenly showed surprise, and he immediately pulled out a beautiful-looking letter from the stack of letters. Looking at the familiar handwriting of Xiuwan on the cover, little Ziano was relieved and emotional. Since Silvia went to Germany, she has put her whole body and soul on her husband, and has hardly contacted the Italian side except for holidays and family birthdays. Receiving Sylvia's letter this time was enough to make little Ziano happy.

"I hope the little sister doesn't speak for her husband this time......" Thinking of Fang Yan's face, Xiao Ziano's face quickly became gloomy. Born with a golden spoon, he was born with a dislike for serious and rigid Germans who contain violent and barbaric genes, and this sense of regional and racial xenophobia as a descendant of Julius Caesar has reached its peak with the appearance of Fang Yan: his sister, who was holding a treasure in the palm of his hand, was abducted by a German wild boy, and did not hesitate to blow up his eldest brother for him, how could little Chiano swallow this breath?

Even if Fang Yan himself and his family have risen sharply today, to the point of grasping the economic power of Germany, in the eyes of the second generation of super-officials like little Ziano, Sylvia still suffers. Thinking that this letter was probably instructed by Fang Yan like last time, to dig the foot of the wall from himself, Xiao Ziano couldn't help but hook a sneer on his lips. Last time, the Soviet-Finnish war had not yet broken out, and German-Italian relations remained good on the whole, and little Ziano did not mind selling his favors. Now that Germany and Italy have become fundamentally politically opposed because of this war, it is still a matter of whether Italy will catch the German chariot, and why should you care about your demands?

With full vigilance, little Ziano unfolded the pages inside. (To be continued.) )
