Listening to Admiral Kim's eloquent remarks, the two-pronged strategy of linking the army, navy, and air force and military diplomacy gives people the illusion that it is not the number one commander of the navy standing in front of him, but rather the chief of the joint staff of the three services -- the United States has never played this role, and although General Li Haihai tried his best to play it, he was always thankless.

"Do you really need 15 divisions?"

"At least 10 too." Admiral Kim snapped his fingers and calculated, "It takes 2 divisions to go to Guyana, at least 3-4 divisions in the Brazilian direction, 2-3 divisions for the Falklands landing, and then 1-2 divisions in reserve, which is still based on the fact that Germany does not continue to increase its troops." ”

"Can the Germans afford to continue to increase their troops?"

"1-2 divisions are not difficult, we have calculated, if it is a German armored division plus an infantry division, even if it is from Europe, it will need about 300,000 tons of capacity, considering that Argentina can provide food, fuel and other materials on the spot, the Germans can load more equipment and logistics materials, this capacity, Hitler can still squeeze out." Admiral Kim analyzed, "From Europe to the Falklands, even if it is a long way around the Suez Canal, two months is enough, in fact, the German army does not have to transfer troops from Europe, after the end of the African campaign, they have a lot of troops in Africa, and the transportation to Argentina is only about 2,000 nautical miles longer than the transportation back to Germany, which does not add any burden." ”

Admiral King guessed this very accurately, Guderian's African Army Group had about 150,000 troops left after the end of the African campaign, and maintaining such a large number of troops was both wasteful and unnecessary on the other. At Hoffmann's request, part of the army (about 60,000 men) and Guderian himself returned home, and the defense of parts of Africa was handed over to the Italians - Mussolini happily sent troops to receive Ethiopia and part of Sudan, North Sudan was annexed to Egypt and defended by its defense forces, others such as Uganda and part of Zambia were given to French troops, and other undetermined territories were divided among European countries such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, etc.

In order to reassure the countries that Germany would not shoot behind the scenes, the Germans happily returned their troops to German East Africa -- including Tanganyika, Kenya, Somalia, Djibouti and other places. Although the strategic location of German East Africa was important, in view of the fact that the perfect colonial and ruling system was not yet perfect, Hoffmann only considered leaving about 3 divisions and more than 50,000 troops here.

In addition to the start of construction in German East Africa, according to Hoffmann's instructions, the German government released the first batch of about 4,000 "well-behaved, positive, and seriously reformed" Jewish residents and about 200 Jewish policemen from the country ahead of schedule, and began to build Jewish settlements in Zambia according to the Zambian plan. Within the settlements, the Jews were not only self-governing, but also had light armed guards in the nature of militias. The German government said that a Jewish state could be formally established once there were more than 20 such large settlements or the total number of Jewish residents exceeded 50,000. Out of gratitude to the Führer and the German Government - whether true or not, the settlements can see the German flag and a large portrait of the Führer in addition to the Jewish six-pointed flag.

According to the "official" version, these Jews completed the atonement through forced labor and began a new life, and this fertile and resourceful land was a gift from the Führer to the Jewish people, and independent statehood was the Jewish people's desire for thousands of years - the Zionist organization itself was in a state of division in which the Zionist organization itself was divided over whether or not to establish a state in Zambia.

Regardless of the Jews' subservience in the face of the Führer's iron fist, they were as pure as lambs, and they were ferocious in the face of the natives of the Negroes, not only driving out the blacks in the vicinity of the settlements, but also trying to establish an apartheid state like the Boers.

As for the other 30,000 people, mainly the 7th Armored Division and the 92nd Infantry Division, he arranged for him to go to South America to carry out the mission of the second phase of the "Pearl of Peace" project, and to form the South American Expeditionary Force together with the first two Marine Brigades that had arrived in Argentina and the Falklands. Mandol Battle Cluster". Although Hoffmann was keen to send more troops to South America, the long supply lines constrained the German efforts, and the 30,000-strong Mandolfel cluster and the corresponding air force were almost at their limit.

After Peron established a solid regime and signed the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance, the Mandolfil cluster began to assemble and prepare to set off - Peron was not stupid at all, he knew what he was doing, and how could he dare to argue with Britain and the United States without the strong support of Germany? How dare you confiscate billions of dollars worth of Anglo-American assets? For Argentina, which has a total army strength of less than 200,000, once 30,000 German troops, especially an elite armored division, are stationed in formation, not to mention the strength of the army in Brazil or Chile, even if 100,000 American troops come, there is nothing to be afraid of -- he was a military attache in Italy, and he witnessed the German army's devastating performance on the European battlefield, and he was quite superstitious about its strength.

Although Admiral King guessed that the Germans still had follow-up forces, and also estimated a reasonable number of people -- 1 armored division and 1 infantry division, and even estimated that the Germans did not need to come from Europe 20,000 miles away, and Africa and Madagascar, 10,000 kilometers away, were enough to provide support, but his judgment on two aspects was still not very accurate. First, the German army does not need 300,000 tons of capacity to transport troops, and in fact, it does not need a 20% discount, because the German army is not as delicate as the US army, and its armored divisions are not as equipped with as much heavy equipment as the US army; Second, the arrival of the German follow-up troops was not two months as he thought, but much faster - the reinforcement fleet would be ready to leave Madagascar about 1 October.

"How is the Navy going to deal with this scene? We can't just do nothing at the moment, just wait. ”

"Surface ships are out of whack, aviation is out of reach, and the only available force is probably a submarine force deployed in South Africa, which can launch lethal attacks on Germany's fragile logistical supply lines. However," Admiral King added, "I would like to remind you that in the next 3-4 months, South Africa's shipping and material imports will be cut off!" ”

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly became ugly...... (To be continued.) )
