Chapter 375: Faith
The fragrance lingered in his nose, the water splashed, and Fang Yan, who was lying in the bath, gradually woke up from the fog, and found that there were hands massaging and kneading his shoulders and collarbones. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Its strength is appropriate, the technique is skillful and skillful, coupled with the soft and smooth skin touch, Fang Yan instantly understands who is behind him. A warm current flowed through Fang Yan's heart, and he reached out to hold the pair of soft wattles; A soft cry suddenly came from behind him, and then a beautiful and moving delicate face appeared in front of Fang Yan's eyes.
"My dear, did the general say anything that bothered you?" Sylvia said as she looked at her husband with pity. Fang Yan sighed, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel so tired." Now that I am between the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and the Führer, and they are leading me by the nose to go their separate ways, the new job of the Repair Bureau is enough to make me worry about, but now I have to devote my energy to dealing with the political game between the two. I really wanted to rest for a while and get rid of these troublesome things, but alas, neither the Führer nor the Marshal would agree to my departure at this time. ”
Sylvia continued to rub Fang Yan's slender and muscular body, and wondered, "Didn't you say before that you had already thought of a way to deal with the current situation?" Fang Yan nodded lightly, looking a little helpless: "The solution is there, but now is not the time to implement it." And even if all goes well, the effect will not be visible until 1 year later. During this period, it was difficult for me to get out of my current situation, so I had to survive. ”
Sylvia bit her bright red lip with her teeth, and the movements of her hand stopped for a moment. Seeing this, Fang Yan felt remorseful, and hurriedly spoke warm words of comfort. In any case, his troubles should no longer be transmitted to Sylvia; Seeing that his wife was depressed and her beautiful eyes were gloomy, Fang Yan felt even more unspeakably uncomfortable and guilty in his heart. was searching her intestines and trying to find a way to make her happy again, but Fang Yan saw that Sylvia's eyes suddenly bloomed: "Honey, do you want to put down your current affairs and rest for a while?" Maybe I can help you! ”
"Italy's national day is just around the corner. This year marks the 40th anniversary of His Majesty Emanuele III's accession to the throne, and the elder brother wrote that the leader had decided to celebrate the occasion with a grand parade on National Day. I can contact my brother and ask him to propose to the leader that you be invited to join the German delegation and visit the Italian fleet by the way. You are an expert in the field of naval aviation, and this invitation cannot be overstated. This way, you can go to Italy for a long time to rest and travel. Sylvia said with a happy look on her face.
Fang Yan was stunned when he heard this. I never remember any ship parades held in Italy in history, and only Japan held a special ship viewing ceremony in 1940 to commemorate the 2600th anniversary of the Imperial Age. And the latter, like the Soviet Union's "Western 81" exercise, became the last swan song of the Combined Fleet. However, it only took a moment for Fang Yan to come back to his senses, this plane had already been changed beyond recognition by him, and all kinds of things needed to be looked at anew.
At present, Britain's naval power in the North Sea has completely collapsed, and the use of the North Atlantic is also shaky, which directly leads to the fact that it is forced to drastically reduce the size of its fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean, and can no longer contain Italy's expansion attempts. According to the information obtained by the German Navy, Britain currently has only one Revenge-class battleship and six light ships left in Alexandria, which is far from the strength of the Soviet Union's Black Sea Fleet, not to mention intimidating Italy. The British Empire, which once suppressed all kinds of ghosts and snakes and monopolized the 8,000-mile waters of the Mediterranean, can now be said to have completely withdrawn from this stage, and the only thing that can be shorter and longer than Italy is France in the west.
Even France is facing a very unfortunate strategic situation. In the six months since the outbreak of the war, Germany first swept Poland, then Denmark and Norway, and destroyed the backbone of the British Navy in one fell swoop; On the basis of the non-aggression pact signed by the Soviet Union and Germany, Germany was already arrogant and condescending to Western Europe. France and Britain were all feeling the pressure on the Western Front, which could be launched at any time, and although the vast majority of the latter's citizens were always convinced of the Maginot Line, a considerable number of them had begun to move to North America.
In this situation, Italy announced the holding of a naval parade, with the intention of making a high-profile demonstration to Britain and France, which were already struggling, in order to achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight in certain areas of their plans. Even if it doesn't work out, it can create an atmosphere of war and boost morale at home in preparation for the upcoming war. Fang Yan knew that Mussolini would never remain silent in this world-renowned European war, and watching Hitler kill himself on a cold bench as a foil was undoubtedly more uncomfortable than letting him die.
Thinking of this, Fang Yan's heart perked up. If you can go south to Italy, you can just observe the current situation of the Italian navy. The Italian Navy in this plane has also undergone great changes compared to history, and its strength is completely worthy of Fang Yan's expectations. And both Hitler and Raeder are also happy to know how many points of strength their allies have, which undoubtedly plays a huge role in their control of the overall strategic situation.
"But if I go to Italy to investigate, won't I be separated from you again? No family members are allowed on this type of official trip. Fang Yan suddenly thought of this, and said with some hesitation. Sylvia tapped Fang Yan's forehead and said angrily, "Stupid." My hometown is Italy, can't I travel back home with my children? When the time comes, I'll live in the same block as you, and we'll be reunited at any time. ”
Fang Yan was stunned, and a bright smile immediately bloomed on his face. In a fluttering mood, he wanted to hug his wife in front of him, but he forgot that he was still in the bath, and suddenly made a big splash. Sylvia exclaimed in surprise and blocked it in front of her with her lotus arm, but the emerald green star pupil involuntarily glanced at the amazing thing that Fang Yan was exposed after standing up. Her breathing gradually became messy and rapid, and before Fang Yan could finish wiping her body with a bath towel, she swooped towards the "food" in front of her like a hungry deer.
By the time Sylvia slumped on the couch like a ball of incense, it was already afternoon. Although Fang Yan, who was repeatedly provoked, had the intention to take revenge, his physical strength was also reaching its limit, and he thought that he would have to pick up his daughter from school in the evening, so he had to give up. He lay down next to his wife's graceful and delicate body, but in his heart he began to think about how to face Hitler next: he had rejected Dönitz's lure today, and he had to explain the stakes to this mastermind behind the scenes.
"It's just that it's hard to convince Hitler to accept his ideas......" Fang Yan sighed in his heart, full of anxiety about his next trip to the Chancellery. If he wants to reverse Hitler's military decision, Fang Yan is more than ninety percent sure, because Hitler's military judgment is based on his analysis and processing of all kinds of complex data, as long as someone has more accurate and accurate data to deal with him, he can basically move him. Historically, Speer has used this method to admonish Hitler, and has almost always had good results.
However, in the political field, Fang Yan is completely unsure. There is no right or wrong in power struggles, only whether you win or lose: Strasser and Rohm, who were bloodily purged on the night of the Long Knife, Blomburg and Fritsch who were disgraced from their posts two years ago, and even more thousands of political prisoners in the Dachau concentration camp, are the best portrayal of Hitler's ruthless side of power.
Under this ideology, Fang Yan's reason for wanting to keep Raeder seemed so weak. "The current war is not over, and there is a threat from the United States, for the sake of the Navy and the country, do you need Raeder to continue to stay in place?" How many of those who were exterminated by Hitler before were not righteous people who cared for the country? Hitler's will depends entirely on whether the other party will do more harm than harm to him at this time!
Fang Yan's worries soon became a reality. In the conversation that night, in the face of Fang Yan's open and honest advice, although Hitler did not say anything on the surface, Fang Yan clearly felt the anger and disappointment hidden in his heart. At the time of farewell, Hitler showed no coldness that he had never been before: he only shook Fang Yan's hand politely, and then turned around and studied the map of Western European operations.
Walking on the empty marble corridor, Fang Yan's heart was unusually calm. For the choice he made today, Fang Yan did not regret it in the slightest. Although from a personal point of view, Fang Yan's disobedience to Hitler and Pauleder's behavior can be described as extremely stupid - the latter did not know that this conspiracy against him existed, and naturally he could not say that he was grateful to Fang Yan; However, Fang Yan offended Hitler, the supreme dictator, and made his biggest backer go away. No matter how you look at it, this is a thankless negative example.
However, from the perspective of the whole country, Raeder was able to maintain it at this time, but it greatly contributed to the continued strong performance of the German Navy in the competition.
Not to mention that Raeder's ability to coordinate and integrate various departments of the Navy is still irreplaceable, just because he has been the commander-in-chief of the Navy for 12 years, and the fact that his henchmen are all over the navy is enough to make people jealous. If Raeder were to be suddenly reduced and retired, it would certainly cause a huge shock in the navy, which would undoubtedly be extremely unfavorable to the German navy, which was still in the middle of the war.
The national situation is like this, and stability comes first. This sentence is not only applicable to the Qing Dynasty, but also to any country that is under a strong threat from foreign enemies. In order to change the history of this country, Fang Yan has already paid too much, and now let him sacrifice this original intention and seek his own position instead, this is a forbidden area that Fang Yan will never do!
