Chapter 113: Revival

Contrary to what most people think, although Hitler's Germany was a dictatorship and fascist state like Italy, there was not much intimacy between the two countries.

In Hitler's eyes, Italy was an important member of the Entente bloc, politically and economically close to Britain and France; Although it engaged in a fierce naval arms race with France in the Mediterranean, it did not develop into a tense and sharp confrontation with France. As for Mussolini, he was not as enthusiastic about Hitler as the world imagined: because Hitler was in charge of a country with much higher industrial and economic potential than Italy, and this would undoubtedly make it very likely that Hitler would replace him and take away the "crown" of the leader of the world fascist movement.

Historically, it was not until 1935 that Germany and Italy had a glimmer of opportunity to get closer to each other: Italy's dispatch of troops to Ethiopia greatly damaged the pattern of East Africa dominated by Britain and France; The Spanish Civil War that broke out the following year also made it difficult to heal the rift between Italy, which actively intervened in it, and Britain and France. The two dictators finally came together in the treacherous European rivalry, and in May 1939, shortly before the outbreak of the war, they signed a treaty of military alliance of a defensive nature.

However, at this point in the present plane, the situation has undoubtedly changed dramatically from history. Under Fang Yan's promotion, Brom and Ziano, the two Qatari giants belonging to the two countries, have long been closely linked by huge economic interests; This, combined with their high status in their respective governments, is enough to influence the economic decisions of both countries – and this can undoubtedly create vital mutual benefits for the two countries to come closer. Once the honeymoon between Germany and Italy can be brought forward, it will certainly greatly improve the pattern that Germany faces in terms of diplomatic strategy; And Fang Yan can also more easily intervene in the construction of the Italian Navy and send its aircraft carrier, which has not appeared in history, to the slipway!

The Libyan oil fields, which are currently regarded as treasures by the Italian government, are an important link in the ties between Germany and Italy. By the time the 40% Brom family company completed its third phase of massive expansion in 1938, its annual oil production would soar to a staggering 8 million tonnes; Germany, which is seriously short of oil, will certainly not let go of this opportunity, which can greatly alleviate the domestic oil shortage and save foreign exchange. And in the fields of shipbuilding, automobiles, aviation, etc. The two families also have extensive and far-reaching cooperation, and in order to maintain their relationship and interests with each other, the two giant families will automatically send corresponding cooperation messages to their respective governments.

"Germany and Italy will soon conclude an alliance." Fang Yan hugged Sylvia's delicate and delicate body tighter, and whispered in her delicate and soft ear, "Even if we don't interfere in the leader's decision-making, Germany and Italy will gradually move towards union because of the relationship between our two countries. What we need to do now is to further promote economic and military cooperation between the two families, and when there are enough common interests between the two countries, then Hitler and Mussolini will naturally form an alliance. ”

Being held in Fang Yan's arms like this, blowing affectionately in her ears, and Sylvia, who was sweet and happy in her heart, threw the idea of the country out of the clouds. She showed Fang Yan a bright and dazzling smile. "Honey, I can already feel the rhythm and breathing of our children. Now that he is just over 2 months away, you should start thinking about choosing a name for your baby, right? ”

Fang Yan was slightly stunned, and there was tenderness and joy quietly flashing in his bright and deep eyes: after ten years of cultivation, the little Lori finally grew up and became pregnant with her own flesh and blood, and nothing is more intoxicating than this precipitated happiness. He gently untied the wide and thin ** on his wife's body, revealing delicate skin like clotted white jade, although Sylvia's lower abdomen was already high and bulging, but in Fang Yan's eyes, it was the most pleasant beauty in the world.

"I've already figured it out." Fang Yan pressed his cheek against Sylvia's bulging lower abdomen, feeling the rhythm and rhythm connected to his blood in the soft and slippery. "If he's a boy, then he'll be named Eric; As a descendant of our two great families, he definitely deserves the title of 'Eternal Strength, Monarch of Eternity'. And if she's a girl. We'll call her Ellie...... Alice, I want her to be pampered and pampered like a princess, and become the most brilliant Valinite in all of Europe. ”

Sylvia smiled like a flower when she heard this, obviously very happy with Fang Yan's answer. She stroked Fang Yan's handsome and graceful face with her jade hand. "This is just the beginning, I want to give birth to a few more babies and make our home more full of laughter and joy." All your children will be born to me. Your body and mind must always be a treasure and a slave to me. ”

Hearing these soothing and gentle words, Fang Yan's heart suddenly throbbed, and the delicate and gorgeous beauty, with blue eyes like stars and water, suddenly emerged from his memory, and appeared in front of his eyes with unprecedented clarity. He and Lina also have the reality of husband and wife, and the two months of water and milk are enough to make her pregnant with her and her emotional crystallization. At this time, more than half a year has passed since the original parting, but Lina has never been heard from, as if she has evaporated from the world. Thinking that Linna chose to leave alone in order not to affect her family, Fang Yan's heart couldn't help but be filled with guilt, pity, bitterness, and concern; I don't know what happened to Linna, did her past actions to meet her requirements make her happy, or did it add endless burden and pain to her life?

"Honey, what's wrong with you?" Sylvia keenly noticed Fang Yan's abnormality and couldn't help but ask in a low voice. Fang Yan gathered his mind and said softly: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered the long journey that the two of us have gone through to get to where we are today. He raised his head to stare into Sylvia's eyes, and said softly, "For the last few months, you don't want to go outside to play again." As compensation, I will take as much time out of my time as possible to go home with you, and you can rest assured that you will wait until the day when I give birth in mid-April. ”

A few days later, on January 30, 1934, Hitler celebrated the first anniversary of his assuming power. In front of the 65 million German citizens, he confidently announced the achievements of his efforts over the past year. The number of unemployed people, who worked as high as 6 million last year, has now shrunk by a quarter; The national economy bottomed out in an all-round way, and the total industrial volume and national income both soared by more than 20% compared with 1932. While a large number of small business owners have been crushed and annexed by Qatari giants and become ordinary middle class living on wages, trade unions have been destroyed and the working class has been reduced to a state of slavery with no freedom to speak of; But it is undeniable that the Nationalist government, more than any previous democratic regime, has fulfilled its bold promise to solve the problem of unemployment!

Strongly supported by this astonishing political achievement, the German people's fears and doubts about the dictatorship of the National Socialist Party soon dispelled as their lives improved. A set of stamps featuring the heads of Frederick the Great, Bismarck, Hindenburg, and Hitler began to gain popularity in Germany, with the caption underneath read, "King laid, chancellor made, marshal guarded, soldier saved." Hitler, the former corporal, has been elevated to a position on a par with the pinnacle of German history; Everyone hoped that the 45-year-old leader would be a god who would save Germany from fire and water at their most critical time.

With the help of Hitler, or more precisely Schacht, this wave of revival, the group controlled by Rudolf also ushered in a valuable opportunity for development. Shipyards, the Gotha Aviation Plant, and Volkswagen AG have all received significantly higher orders than last year, and the scale of production and total profits have also risen. In addition to orders for civilian products, the German military also secretly issued bidding orders for the research and development of military equipment to these elite enterprises that had both technical strength and production scale: the Versailles Peace Treaty strictly prohibited Germany from owning heavy battleships, submarines, various types of combat aircraft, and tanks. As early as the Weimar Republic, the German military's treaty violations were already small actions, and now that Hitler, who is determined to restore Germany to its former glory, has come to power, the German military's treaty violations have become even more intense and frequent.

Although it was the angry sea that played a decisive role in the future fate of Germany, Fang Yan still decided to carry out an all-round equipment improvement for the army. First, the land pressure faced by Germany was also far from allowing Fang Yan to feel relaxed, and the Soviet Union, which had completed industrialization, would be a serious adversary. If the German army is allowed to fight with them with weapons from the historical plane, it will inevitably affect the supply of materials to the western ocean theater due to the huge cost of the Eastern Front battlefield. Second, Fang Yan is from a political point of view, if he can win the favor and favor of the army generals, then it will undoubtedly add a very important friendly force to his family, which will play an irreplaceable role in the future of the family's possible progress.

For this, Fang Yan has actually been planning for this since nearly 10 years ago. If not, he would not have encouraged his cheap father, Rudolph, to expand the family business into so many areas. As for where to start, Fang Yan also had a clear plan in his heart. (To be continued.) )
