When Guderian received Guderian's detailed report on the war in Africa, the Führer's train was already on the railway to Smolensk, and Hoffman felt something unusual about the sudden collapse of the Allied forces in Nairobi and the unconventional way of thinking about the use of planes to retreat -- history had changed significantly, and we could not always look at things with the old eyes.

One thing he was very sure of was that although it was unknown whether Eisenhower, Patton, and other high-ranking generals would be able to regain their position, this blow was a very heavy blow to them, and perhaps it would be a lifelong mountain that would be insurmountable -- the US army suffered a defeat in the first confrontation with the German army in a ground war, and it was not a small setback, but a crushing defeat!

In Hoffman's eyes, the value of the battle cannot be measured only by the number of people eliminated or captured, as far as the strength of the Nairobi encirclement is concerned, it is a week's results on the Eastern Front, and even the size of the army group is not enough, but for the Americans, this defeat is worth remembering for a long time, and they will be very cautious in the future. What is even more fatal is that due to the "unfair" arrangements at the time of the final retreat, Germany will soon have a large number of public opinion shells -- the American officers and soldiers who are scrambling to surrender will be the best advocates of "peaceful evolution" in the future, and Hoffmann is very confident in this.

This victory was not so much military, but political and psychological.

"I called back to Heinz, congratulating him on his victory, and hoping to make persistent efforts to win Zambia, so that our layout in Africa is close to perfection, and it is also conducive to promoting the next step."

Dahlges nodded, then asked puzzledly, "Führer, are you really going to push for the Zambia Plan?" ”

"Do you have a different opinion?"

"No, I didn't! I just think it's a little cheaper Jews. ”

"Even you think it's cheap Jews, and this shows that there is a lot to be done." Hoffman smiled, "If I were to get a piece of land out of the Sahara Desert, you probably wouldn't think it would be cheap, would you?" ”

"This ......"

The so-called "Zambia Plan" is actually a package of political solutions: on the one hand, Zambia's territory will be divided into a part of the Belgian Congo, and then the issue of Uganda's status and Latin America's launch can be resolved; On the other hand, Zambia was also the place where Hoffman was prepared to offer a "final solution" to the Jewish question, and he felt that he had taken advantage of the Madagascar plan that he had originally conceived - Madagascar was clearly better than Zambia, and he was reluctant to let it go.

It was envisaged that all Jews in Germany would face the problem of arranging a final destination after three years of hard labor, perhaps as many as 6 million to 8 million, and he did not want to use concentration camps and gas chambers for a "final settlement", which would be too costly, and he could not continue to let them remain in Germany, which would become a new factor of instability.

Now the Middle East is full of pro-German Arab countries, if the Jews are still in Palestine to establish a state, in the future will certainly become a thorn in the East planted by the Americans, judging from the outbreak of combat power in the history of the Jewish state, unless Germany personally ends, the general Middle East countries will not be able to defeat, which poses a major threat to the future "oil mark" (or oil euro), and cannot but be prevented in advance. Therefore, Palestine must not allow the Jews to establish a state.

Zambia is not too suitable in terms of location, geography, resources, environment, and climatic conditions -- at least better than the hellish place in Palestine, and if the Sahara Desert is really chosen, I am afraid that the Jews will disdain it.

According to the plan, Zambia's world-famous copper, cobalt and farmland mines could then become the foundation of the Jewish nation, and also a kind of economic compensation for the German Jews who had been deprived of their property, which had either been distributed, consumed and used, and had no hope of being re-possessed. At that time, all these minerals and land can be deducted into shares, and each Jew will be given a share. Some of the Jews were bankers, and the Germans didn't have to worry about that.

What's more, he also arranged implicit benefits for the Jews - Zambia is Rhodesia to the south, a large British colony, and the Jewish people will never give up their expansion as long as they have a firm foothold in Zambia, and Rhodesia, which has a small population and a lot of land, will bear the brunt, and Rhodesia will be further south of South Africa, so they will never be able to live in peace with the British Empire, given the huge influence of the Jews in the United States, this is of extraordinary value to the destruction of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and also adds some insurance to the balance of power between Germany and the United States after the war.

In order to achieve this goal, he had secretly sent senior diplomats such as Niu Wright and Weizsäcker to approach the Zionist Organization - a secret and sensitive matter that was not suitable for a big mouth like Ribbentrop, and who was also very interested. For the Jews, statehood comes first, and dealing with Germany comes second, and if the Führer is really willing to carve out a not too bad territory for the Jews to establish a state after victory, and at the same time provide some security guarantees, they are not unable to reconcile with Germany, and everything about money can be discussed, and even a sum of money can be put forward to support Germany.

After the closure of the concentration camps in Germany and the introduction of the Jewish export project, the Fuhrer was less hostile to the Führer than it had been at first, and in fact they were more aware of the identity of their own people, a greedy personality that had attracted numerous rounds of scorn and revenge over the past millennia. They sensitively saw Germany's move as a harbinger of a major policy adjustment, which meant that the most painful stage of the Jews was almost over—that Germany had stopped the persecution of Jews in the occupied territories of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and so on, and then had reduced the persecution of Jews in Germany by replacing concentration camps with hard labor.

Putting aside the entanglement of ideology and national feelings, it is easy to see the Fuhrer's motives for sparing no effort against the Jews: to pick an ethnic group and set a target, and then to better unite the German people; The confiscation of Jewish assets provided economic security for Germany's arms build-up and the buy-off of industrial giants. All this is the routine of mature politicians, the Jews have long summed up the thousands of years of anti-Jewish history in Europe, nothing more than did not expect the Germans and the SS to act so aggressively, and the Zambia Plan is a step forward on the basis of the current policy adjustment, which can be regarded as a return to normal relations.

Most of the top leaders of the National Socialist Party supported the Führer's new idea, except for Himmler, who disagreed a little, mainly because he felt that it was not enough to relieve him, but Hoffmann believed that he could be persuaded that Germany could not be a major stain or burden on the Jewish question if it wanted to become a world leader after the war, and that the era of genocide in the 18th century was now past the era of genocide. Regardless of whether the German nation can become friends with the Jewish nation in the future, at least there should be no unties, and Zambia and the establishment of an independent state are Germany's gift of reconciliation to the Jewish nation. It was also exemplary for the pacification of the eastern frontiers, and if Germany and the Jews were to be reconciled, not to mention the Slavic peoples.

At the same time, this plan for statehood will better win the friendship and support of the Arabs. At the end of World War I, in order to win the support and funds of the Jews, Britain authorized the Foreign Secretary Balfour to issue the "Balfour Declaration", claiming that "it is necessary to establish a national home for the Jews in Palestine and make every effort to achieve this goal", which stimulated the rise of Zionism, and more than 500,000 Jews immigrated to Palestine one after another, but also exacerbated the contradictions between Arabs and Jews, Arabs and the British Empire. The reason why Germany's entry into the Middle East is so popular with Arabs is not only because Germany and Britain share the same sky, but also because Germany is the number one anti-Semitic country, and in the eyes of Arabs, cooperation with Germany is equivalent to achieving two goals at once.

The European Union (political), collective security (military), and oil mark (economy) were the three pillars on which Hoffmann sought to establish Germany's position in the world, and the Arabs would be an important one.

And he believed that the formulation of this plan would also increase the motivation of the Jews who were currently serving hard labor, who were currently living in a state of confusion, and that once hope was given, the persevering Jewish people would strive to make a breakthrough and play an important role in promoting the war, a point that Hoffman as a traverser understood more deeply than anyone else.

In fact, Germany currently has Jewish police, they are usually responsible for the security of the occupied areas, and their work efficiency, intensity and dedication are exemplary, worthy of a high level of Gestapo, which is why many people say that they want to finally solve the problem of the Jews, but in fact, even the Jewish police are reluctant to be abolished, and are even ready to develop vigorously.

Hoffman smiled: "The Eastern Conference determined the principle of independent statehood and collective land redistribution among all ethnic groups in Russia, Germany does not claim any territory, and some people said that I cheapened those Slavs, but now you look back and see, how much support and cooperation these countries have for us?" More than 500,000 soldiers fought for us wholeheartedly on the Russian front alone, and there was a steady stream of volunteers signing up, not counting the various supplies they delivered, and even the situation in the guerrillas and non-security zones was greatly improved. If we can stabilize the front, let the people of these eastern countries enjoy a free and prosperous autumn harvest, and can live a period of stability and peace, I think that even if Stalin has 5 million more troops, he will never return to the previous state. ”

Dahlges nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Send a message to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that if they can reach an agreement with Jewish organizations, I propose to publish the plan in its entirety by the end of June." Hoffman is complacent, "In many cases, political negotiation is more problematic than force......" (To be continued). )
