Chapter 292: Accident (1, Flyawayking for the Alliance Leader)

ps: I wish the book friend "flyawayking" to become the leader of this book, and I am deeply grateful......

"The Führer is ready to launch the Amazon program ahead of schedule? Right now? Crank, who was resting in Buenos Aires, received the news coldly and almost jumped out of his chair in shock, "Didn't you ask for intelligence when you set off, and prepare for the development of a detailed and complete plan?" I haven't even reported it, but on what basis did Berlin make its decision? ”

"I don't know!" Simon shrugged, he couldn't understand this, he always thought that Berlin was messing around, but after repeatedly confirming that it was correct and learning that it was the Führer's own order, he was relieved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Anything has changed in Europe?"

"It is true that the Führer launched an unprecedented air raid against Great Britain and put up a landing position, and the Americans placed their fleet near Iceland, so the Führer considered South America to be a good gap in the short term, and he intended to land in Brazil and prop up the German National regime." Simon thought for a moment and added, "The fleet departed five days ago and is expected to arrive at the end of this month, with a core combat force consisting of the Jean-Bar, the King, the Scharnhorst, and the Richelieu, escorted by four Rhine-class ships, along with the Flying Fortress Panzer Division and the Ceylon Brigade of the Navy, and Marshal Rommel is also on it - he is the commander." ”

"Erwin is here, too, and it's really lively, and the Führer is determined to open up a world in South America?" Crake couldn't help laughing, "It seems that the Americans are really in big trouble, and it seems that our warship needs to be repaired quickly." ”

Buenos Aires has relatively well-established dockyard facilities in South America, and although it is not possible to completely repair the injuries of the Ise and Gneisenau, it can at least drain the stagnant water and patch the damaged hull a few times, so that the two warships can be restored to the closest possible combat condition, which undoubtedly saves Cranke a lot of trouble. Originally, he was worried that the construction period would be too long, but Peron told him not to worry, he would do it. Sure enough, as soon as the president appeared, the workers enthusiastically worked in three shifts, and the movements were very sloppy - Chile and Argentina are known for their efficiency and execution in South America.

"Do you need us to negotiate with the Argentines and the Uruguayans?"

"The negotiations will be carried out by the ambassador, but it is recommended that we participate together, especially President Peron, and it is important to communicate well here. What the Führer meant was that the La Plata group did not participate this time, that it was enough to remain neutral and not even to respond politically at the first time......"

"Okay, when the support forces come and work together, at least we can kill the American aircraft carrier group that slipped away that day."

In fact, negotiating with the LaPlata group was also a laborious task, and Hoffmann knew that Peron not only wanted to be the boss of South America, but also had ideas about Brazilian territory, and the establishment of a German state would provoke Peron's sensitive nerves, and of course he also believed that Peron's eyes would not fail to recognize this - without the German army taking action in person, they would not be able to do Brazil with the support of the United States for decades to Argentina, so they must take this opportunity to convince Peron, at least not to arouse his disgust.

"Are you saying that your country's territorial claims in South America are limited to the four southern states of Brazil?" After listening to the situation conveyed by the German ambassador Frank, Peron, who was deeply surprised, frowned, "But didn't you say that when our 12 armored brigades are completed, the La Plata group will start a war against Brazil together?" ”

Frank smiled with a smile on his face: "You are wrong about one thing, the empire has no territorial claims to South America, we just don't want to watch Germans and Italians being bullied by Brazilians and Americans, so this country to be established is not the direct territory of the Third Reich, nor is it a colony, it is a protectorate of the Third Reich for the time being - similar to the status of French Guiana, and when the time is ripe and the conditions are right in the future, it will develop into an independent South American country dominated by German and Italian descendants." Of course, they will also join the La Plata group, led by you, to maintain an alliance with Argentina. ”

Peron, who is stationed in the army and diplomacy, will not continue to ask, and must be led by Germany. The only concern is that Germany will intervene too much in South America through this new country in the future, but if Germany is not involved, Argentina will face pressure from the United States alone. Peron thought about it and thought that the lesser of two evils should be brought in to confront the United States for the time being, and if the German power is too great in the future, it will be too late to find a balance with the Americans. I thought so, but I didn't show it on my face.

Frank seemed to see Peron's misgivings, and added: "The Führer believes that the new country needs the strong support of Argentina and His Excellency, and that the existing borders do not fully reflect the situation, taking into account the historical traditions of South America and the ethnic demarcation lines concerned, and therefore he will propose that some of the sections be adjusted." ”

Hoffman was well aware of Peron's ambitions for Brazilian territory, and if he completely took the four southern states together, it would block the way for Argentina to move north to carve up Brazilian territory, so he had to leave a gap for the Argentines to continue to border each other, and allowing Argentina and Brazil to continue to border each other would also help to strengthen the Third Reich's position in the new country, which would have to rely on the support of its mother countries if it was to gain a solid space for development.

Frank walked over to the map and gently drew a line, narrowing the border to the west of the four southern states a little back, making room for Argentina to continue expanding in the direction of Brazil, and then said with a smile: "If your country reaches a territorial exchange agreement with Paraguay and other countries, we will be happy to see it come to fruition." ”

Looking at this line, Peron squinted his eyes thoughtfully, he actually wanted to swallow the territory of the four southern states, but Argentina's strength has not been enough, and the German-Italian descendants above are also very troublesome to deal with, and if it is not done well, it will be a time bomb, so he does not plan to carry out political planning for the time being, and wants to see how the Germans are doing first. This time, the Führer's actions were quite cautious -- first move one state to test the bottom line and reaction of the US military.

So he waved his hand: "Since Argentina has expressed neutrality, then we will take a friendly wait-and-see attitude in this incident, and we will not be in a hurry to change the territory or anything, but ......"

Frank secretly scolded the "old fox" in his heart, although Peron is not very old, but he is still very rich in political skills, it is better to not be able to suppress the powerful country of South America. The so-called "friendly wait-and-see" means that Argentina intends to observe the reaction of the United States, after all, the Falklands were originally Argentine territory, and Germany is engaged in three or four things on it, and the Americans can only pinch their noses and endure it if they are unwilling, and now the Germans are directly going to cut the meat from Brazil, and Brazil is still a member of the alliance camp in the strict sense, and whether the Americans can save it or not is a big problem. Therefore, Peron's attitude of "wait and see, not in a hurry" is very speculative, which can be called offensive and retreating.

"The Führer knows that His Excellency has worked hard to develop Argentina's strong national defense, and he admires this courage, and from you he seems to see himself 10 years ago, and he decided to give Argentina a batch of arms, and we will also trade a batch of arms with Uruguay, and the list will be seen by your country."

Peron nodded his satisfaction and did not ask how many things there were - the Führer was not stingy in this regard, the planes and tanks were all given on a hundred basis, and the overall value was more than 100 million marks (the factory price was 50 million marks). As for the Uruguayan arms deal, Perón knew that it was the intention of the Germans to hint that they had no intention of inciting the Uruguayans to fight against Argentina, which also relieved him. Argentina, as the leading big brother of the La Plata group, wants his younger brother to be able to do a little bit, but also does not let the younger brother threaten him, which is a very delicate balance, and Hoffman understands and grasps this.

Since Perón had endorsed the Amazon plan in principle, there were no political obstacles to German operations in South America, and Frank succinctly presented the plan of action: "We expect to send one panzer division and two brigades to carry out the mission, one division and one brigade to assist in the defense of the new country, another brigade to be deployed in the country at the invitation of the Uruguayan authorities, and we have also sent military and technical advisers as requested by you, 100 military observers, and more than 20 technical experts of various kinds. They will carry out a comprehensive assessment of the Argentine industrial system and find a path suitable for the development of your country, and we will also find ways to transfer the production lines of rifles, No. 3 assault guns, Stalker tank destroyers, Bf-109\219 and other aircraft to your country, and build a number of new industrial enterprises. ”

Now the Italians are no longer satisfied with playing the No. 3 assault gun, they want the production line of No. 4, Tiger, He-218, Ju-188, and even want the technology of the Me-262 jet.

This time I heard that he was going to make trouble in South America, and according to Mussolini's personality in the past, he would definitely have to get involved, but I don't know if it was the guerrilla war in Serbia that involved him too much energy or whether the Italian African possessions were too busy to do so, so he actually did not say anything for the first time, only demanding that the descendants of Italian descent in South America enjoy the same rights as the Germans, and at the same time Italy should also enjoy relevant economic privileges.

Perón agreed with this, but added one more, hoping that Germany would export a little submarine technology and help Argentina build up its submarine force. Frank agreed in principle and initially agreed to resell eight submarines to Argentina in an effort to get them to Argentina next time.

"By the way...... Perón said in a final tone of understatement, "Peru may join the La Plata group in the near future, and I hope that your country will also provide great assistance." ”

"Peru?" Frank smiled meaningfully, "Of course, all friends are welcome. ”
