Chapter 265: Penetration
With Hitler's words, all the military and political dignitaries in the cabinet room turned their eyes to the young man at the end of the long table. For a while, Fang Yan read different emotions from more than a dozen pairs www.biquge.info of eyes: appreciation, kindness, cold indifference, and contempt that implied jealousy.
In the face of the gaze of these heavyweights who had great power throughout Germany, Fang Yan, who was already experienced in a hundred battles, did not have any fear; He calmly met Hitler's gaze and said aloud: "Honorable Führer, you have made a wise choice at both the political and military levels. I would like to express my point of view only on one other issue, which is the current domestic production of military equipment. As the United States began to sell war materials to Britain and France, the equipment of the allied forces on the Western Front was bound to be greatly strengthened, and although our soldiers were not afraid of any challenges and sacrifices, it was obvious that no soldier wanted to see Germany lose its equipment and hardware superiority over Western countries. ”
At the front of the long table, Wat's face changed suddenly. He clearly remembered that his nephew had approached him ten days earlier, and bitterly expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the current state of German equipment production; However, what he didn't expect was that Fang Yan would stab his words directly in front of Hitler so quickly, and he also pulled the banner of countering the United States' arms sales to Britain and France. With W&Ert's knowledge of Hitler, the latter would be almost 100% moved, and himself, as Minister of Economy, would immediately be pushed to the forefront!
Hitler's expression quickly became solemn. He gradually clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Roosevelt, this shameful paralysis, I will never let Britain and France become his spokesmen in Europe so safely!" I will build airplanes, build airplanes, build airplanes, and completely bury the British and French army and his ambitions on the French plains! And if Roosevelt's madness of setting fires everywhere does not subside, then I will build warships, warships, warships, and let those loose Saxon cowboys bear all the wrath and iron fist of the new German High Seas Fleet! ”
"Wolter, in what way are you going to increase the production of armaments in wartime?" Hitler turned abruptly, his gray-blue pupils staring directly into Walter's face. In the face of Hitler's expectant and somewhat eager and coercive gaze, V&Ert's Adam's apple rolled, and finally resigned himself to the requirements that Fang Yan had made to himself as a strategy he was ready to adopt to explain to Hitler.
In the whole process, Wolt did not have any reservations, even if it was necessary to include the entire domestic military industrial complex in the unified plan. He knew very well that Hitler was not so easy to deal with, and he had to come up with a sufficient amount of dry goods. In addition, Walter also had another calculus in mind: if he could use Hitler's support to promote the full integration of the equipment production industry, then his authority would be significantly enhanced.
Hitler listened quietly, and many thoughts had already turned in his mind. It is true that several of the proposals put forward by his economy minister will undermine the existing pattern of national interests, but after all, this is a time of war, and many places should make some changes. For example, each branch of the armed forces should no longer have its own exclusive equipment stove, and at the same time, the capitalists should also put aside part of their own face and interests and put the needs of the country first. If anyone is insatiable and still stubborn on major issues of right and wrong, the Gestapo is definitely not a useless ornament!
"My Minister of Economy, this matter is left to you. If you encounter any obstacles in the implementation of the policy of increasing equipment production, the Gestapo National Commander will be your strong backing. Hitler glanced at Himmler in the rear, who immediately nodded respectfully. Wärth's heart was greatly excited, but his face remained unfazed, and he greeted Himmler and said, "Then it is up to His Excellency the SS General." ”
However, on the question of issuing a general ******, Hitler finally vetoed it in his head. Once this order is issued, it means that the material comforts of the German people, which are not very abundant, will become more tense and scarce due to the shrinking of light industry; In order to prevent a second revolution of 1918, Hitler considered it necessary to maintain the current standard of living of the German people. In addition, Germany was not prepared for a long war, so it was always ****** this double-edged sword, and it was better to let it lie in the scabbard forever.
For this expected result, Fang Yan could only choose to acquiesce in desperation. The problems of the system formed by the Kuomintang after nearly seven years of coming to power were not something that Fang Yan alone, or even Hitler himself, could easily shake. The current ability to reap this result is already far better than the same period in history, and Fang Yan does not expect to expect too many achievements.
The sunset was obliquely shining, the sunset was as brilliant as gold, and a group of high-level German dignitaries walked out of the majestic and wide main entrance of the Chancellery, forming a luxurious and solemn costume exercise. The nearly three-hour meeting finally ended, and almost everyone was given the corresponding task by Hitler. Because of their responsibilities, everyone had no intention of staying at the Prime Minister's Office any longer, and after a brief goodbye, they all got into the cars they had come to and returned the same way.
"Wait, Jonas." A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Fang Yan. Fang Yan, who was about to follow Ryder back in the car, hesitated, then turned around, and sure enough, he saw his cheap uncle Walt walking out of the gate quickly. Fang Yan showed an apologetic look to Raeder, who had already gotten into the car, and then said to Waelt, "Uncle, do you have something to do with me?" ”
Walt's eyes stared closely at the young man in front of him, and the familiar face that was as handsome as he used to be, actually gave birth to a mysterious feeling that he had been through the wind and rain at all. He opened his mouth and said slowly, "Jonas, did you anticipate the situation you had today?" Taking advantage of the opportunity of the United States to revise the neutrality law and sell weapons to Britain and France, the Fuhrer proposed to the Führer a-for-tat strategy of increasing arms production. With this general trend as a driving force, the difficulties and obstacles that we had to face in the past will become easily solved. ”
Fang Yan smiled and said, "Uncle, I have never limited my eyes to the domestic stage. The United States and Germany are all oceans away, but the actions of this country can also be exploited by us! The reason why the Führer has been able to achieve successive brilliant victories in the past is also because his vision has risen to a height that is difficult to look up to, and he can incorporate all the historical origins and current actions of various countries into his means of achieving his own goals! As I said last time, this is an ideal opportunity for Germany to increase its armament production, and you should not waste this precious opportunity to increase your power. ”
Seeing Fang Yan smiling and bowing to himself, and then boarding the healthy shape of the Raeder car, Walt's mind was like spring thunder, and for a while only his nephew's heroic declaration that he had never limited his eyes to the country was left. After a while, Walter slowly walked towards his official office. He can finally be sure of one thing, his nephew, whether it is objective action or subjective heart, is definitely not a simple admiral. Thinking of this, Walter suddenly felt a shock in his heart: in recent years, he has been depressed and lost because there is no one to inherit the political mantle, and perhaps one day, Jonas will take off his military uniform and change into a straight suit.
"Jonas, why did you prevent me from giving advice to the Führer at the meeting?" At the other end of William Street, Raeder, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, asked Fang Yan in bewilderment, "Don't you think that the excessive pursuit of the means used by the fleet has deviated from the strategic goal that the navy should have?" The fundamental goal of developing the fleet is to strike at the enemy, and not to sit quietly in the harbor and wait for rust; This is the core theme of the book "The Rise and Fall of the High Seas Fleet" that you wrote 13 years ago! “
Faced with the questioning of this highest-ranking professional soldier with the rank of marshal that is unique in Germany at present, Fang Yan showed a relaxed smile. He lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Marshal, rest assured, the battle on the Western Front will not start within this winter. It is for this reason that the Führer vetoed your request to cooperate with the army's attack, and only asked the navy to make as good preparations as possible before the expedition. ”
"What?" Raeder's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation of disbelief. After a while, he also controlled his voice and whispered: "But the Führer has clearly issued an order to launch an attack on November 12, eight days later!" And this winter won't be over until early February next year! ”
That was the attitude that the Führer deliberately displayed in front of General Brauchitsch and a group of other army leaders who were not prepared to attack on the Western Front. Only if the Führer is firm enough can he drive the generals who suffer from Francophobia and Anglophobia to summon the courage to show their swords to the enemies who have defeated them. Fang Yan pursed his lips and said.
Fang Yan has a hundred contempts in his heart for the group of cowards who will always live in the shadows of the past at the top of the army: although the pursuit of war is to exhaust the strategy and crush the enemy in front of him with a dignified formation, but in fact, what battles can do this? If you don't move forward in the face of a powerful enemy, then sooner or later you will have to surrender to Germany with US imperialism, and you will save ordinary people from the trauma of war!
"Still, the Navy should show that the tension of the Western Front is about to begin. After all, the Führer has clearly defined the time for the attack, and if we treat it passively, we will disobey the Führer's orders. Fang Yan added. Raeder looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression and said, "Jonas, I found that you are more skilled in politics than I am. I don't know if it's a help or a hindrance to your naval path. (To be continued.) )
