Chapter 34 The Truth of History: Internal Contradictions I
Chen Dao's speech pushed the atmosphere of the ceremony to the top of the **, and the next thing was naturally to eat and drink・・・・・・
At dawn the next day, after washing up and eating breakfast, Chen Dao saw Count Falk waiting for him in the living room.
After a brief greeting, Count Falk handed Chen Dao a dozen drawings in his hand.
"This is what I said about the M1929 75mm L60 anti-aircraft gun produced by the Bofors Arsenal, which was exported to China and Hungary, and this drawing was flown in from Sweden." Earl Falk said.
Chen Daoxin said that there was no fax in this era, and in order to send such a dozen papers, the Swedes were willing to transport it by air, and it seems that the Swedish industry has really invested money in order to cooperate deeply with Germany.
Chen Dao looked carefully at the drawings and found that the shape of this 75-mm anti-aircraft gun was very close to the German standard FLAK36 88-mm anti-aircraft gun.
"Look at this gun mount, look at this base, it is so similar to the German 88-mm anti-aircraft gun, this is obviously a copy of the German 88-mm anti-aircraft gun." Chen Dao pointed to the drawings and said.
"It is a product designed with the participation of the German company Krupp." Earl Falk explained.
Chen Daoxin said that it was no wonder that this was the case, it turned out that this 75-mm anti-aircraft gun was designed with the participation of Krupp, and it can be said to be twin brothers with the German 88-mm anti-aircraft gun.
"60 times the diameter, the armor-piercing ejection speed is 840 meters per second, and the grenade ejection velocity is 860 meters per second, this is really a tailor-made artillery for the No. 4 assault gun." Chen Dao muttered quietly.
Earl Falk didn't hear what Chen Dao said, but by looking at his brother-in-law's expression, he knew that the success of the business was in sight.
"I want the right to produce this cannon, let Bofors Arsenal quote, it's better to hurry, I'm very short on time."
Count Falk didn't speak, just smiled.
"Also, let them quote not too darkly, otherwise I will go to Krupp, and it will not cost me anything to find Krupp." Chen Dao admonished.
"I have been authorized by the Bofors Arsenal, and if this gun meets your requirements, the production license and drawings of this anti-aircraft artillery will be sent to you as a gift, congratulations on becoming the commander of the Herman Goering Motorized Rifle Regiment." Count Falk said with a smile.
"Swedish friends, no, I am so touched by my fellow Swedish countrymen." Chen Dao said with emotion.
"What do you say? So happy. Goering walked into the living room in a crisp white marshal's uniform.
"I'm glad to be blessed by my fellow Swedish people." Chen Dao explained.
Goering did not ask, but said to Count Fokker: "Today is the day for you to meet with the representatives of German industry, and it is time for us to go." ”
・・・・・・
In the next few days, Count Falk came back very late every day, and Chen Dao did not ask about the details of the negotiations, but he knew that Count Falk had made a very successful trip, and that he must have negotiated several big deals.
On Monday, October 20, Chen Dao's good days finally came to an end, and Chen Dao had been on injury leave before, so he could go home and live every day. It would be more accurate to say that the officers and men of the Herman Goering Regiment saw that the commander of the regiment insisted on going to the barracks every day to preside over the work while he was on leave from injury, and the officers and men headed by Mandolfer admired Chen Dao's behavior.
The end of the injury leave meant that Chen Dao could not go back to Karin Manor every day to live, and could only live in the officers' quarters.
Chen Dao arrived at the office, and before his butt was hot, Lieutenant Bach and Goering's adjutant walked into the office.
"Colonel, there is a military meeting in the Prime Minister's Office that you need to attend, and the marshal is waiting for you outside the door." Goering's adjutant said.
Sitting in Goering's limousine, Goering said: "The army's yellow plan has been drawn up and submitted to the Führer today, and the Führer asks you to attend the meeting by name." ”
Chen Daomo was silent, just nodded, and silently prayed in his heart that the plan formulated by the army must not be the Manstein plan, otherwise he would definitely have a troubled conscience when he encountered the genuine version of this pirated version.
The conference room of the Prime Minister's Office was already covered with huge military maps, and Goering and Chen Dao were the last to arrive, and when they arrived, the meeting was convened.
The Army Command was tasked with explaining the yellow scheme by the Chief of the Army General Staff, General Halder, a native of Bavarian with a clear face and glasses.
Chen Dao's first impression of Halder was calm and capable, and the only fly in the ointment was that Chen Dao found that Halder's mouth seemed to be sunken inward, quite like an old lady who had lost all her teeth.
Halder's explanation was very quick and clear in terms of conversation and thinking, but it did not cause a trace of waves in Chen Dao's heart.
Halder's plan was for the Germans to concentrate their forces on the right flank, launch major assaults on Belgium and northern France after the war, and occupy ports along the LinkedIn Gili Channel.
Isn't this a copy of the Schlieffen Plan? What exactly is the Army Command doing? Chen Dao touched his chin, no longer in the mood to listen to Halder's words, and looked down at his shiny leather boots, as if a flower had grown on them.
"Is this the Yellow Plan or the Schlieffen Plan?" Goering couldn't help but be the first to question.
Chen Dao looked up at Halder, who had an old lady's mouth, and wanted to hear his explanation.
Halder glanced at Goering, and Chen Dao noticed that Halder's eyes were not like looking at a marshal, but like looking at a battalion commander.
"This plan is indeed very similar to the Schlieffen plan, but it is not the same as the Schlieffen plan, and we now have a powerful armored corps, both in terms of assault ability and marching speed, far exceeding our predecessors. And using this plan can have a surprising effect, because the French would not have expected that we were using a similar plan of war as in 1914. Halder explained.
Should I say that this old lady's mouth is forceful, or is he perfunctory, Halder doesn't know that his speech has made Chen Dao completely beat him into the ranks of the old lady's mouth.
Goering did not speak again, and Hitler then asked a few questions about the details of the yellow scheme, to which Halder replied fluently.
Chen Dao's eyes were aimed at Halder's left hand, Halder touched his left trouser pocket from time to time, as if he was about to take out something, after hesitating a few times, Halder raised his left hand and pressed it to the table, and Chen Dao also withdrew his curious gaze.
"Send this plan to the troops, and we will act according to this plan."
Chen Dao was taken aback, and before he could react, Hitler uttered an earth-shattering sentence: "By November 15 at the latest, we will launch an attack on France." ”
Chen Dao's eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
Although his arrival can trigger the butterfly effect of history, it can't be like this! Chen Dao felt that his heart had jumped to his throat, and he could blurt out at any moment.
The words of the commander-in-chief of the army, Brauchitsch, saved Chen Dao, who almost vomited blood: "Führer, we cannot launch an offensive in November, we have consumed counting ammunition in the Polish campaign, and now the ammunition in stock is not enough to support the war against France. And according to the forecast of the meteorological department, starting in November, there will be blizzard weather in Western Europe, which is not suitable for combat. ”
Chen Dao felt his heart fall back into his stomach, and said that it was okay, the weather saved me and Germany.
"Blizzard?" Hitler frowned, then looked at Brauchitsch a few times and said: "After November, report to me once a week about the weather, and when the weather improves, immediately launch an attack." ”
"Herman, you urge the Production Department and the Armaments Department to immediately accelerate the production of ammunition and not delay our battle plan."
After the order was given, Hitler declared the conference over, and Goering and Chen Dao were left behind.
