Chapter 323: Preparations for War Begin

Before leaving for Warsaw, Chen Dao finally met Hiroshi Oshima.

Hiroshi Oshima desperately wanted to see Chen Dao for two things, both of which were expected by Chen Dao.

The first thing Hiroshi Oshima asked was naturally the specific time when Germany declared war on the United States, and Chen Dao smiled and sent the first blank check.

"Mr. Ambassador, you can send you good news to Prime Minister Tojo, that I have succeeded in convincing the Führer to declare war on the United States, and that the German High Command has begun to work on a war plan against the United States. You are also a soldier, and you must know that it will take a long time from the formulation of the plan to the collection of intelligence, and then to the specific implementation, especially the war against the United States is mainly a naval battle, and the implementation of the battle plan of the naval battle is more complicated and takes more time, so the preparation time will be longer, please Prime Minister Tojo wait patiently. ”

When Hiroshi Oshima heard that Chen Dao had convinced Hitler, there was no excitement on his face, because Chen Dao's words lacked a substantive substance.

"Your Excellency the Governor, is there a specific time for the start of the war, I need to inform the country of a specific time for the start of the war."

"Mr. Oshima, you should know that the battle plan is to be changed according to the change of the battlefield situation, and at the same time, it is also for the sake of secrecy, and it must not be leaked. However, we are friends, and in order for you to have a smooth relationship, I have to make an exception for you. There is no specific time, but no later than July 1 at the latest, Germany will definitely start a war against the United States, and I think Prime Minister Tojo will be satisfied with this answer. ”

Hiroshi Oshima had a happy expression on his face. Hurriedly bent down to thank Chen Dao.

"Thank you for your care, and I will inform you of the good news as soon as possible, Mr. Prime Minister."

"Then I was relieved that I was going to take the train back to Warsaw. The departure time is almost up, please let me know as soon as possible, Mr. Ambassador, and you are welcome. ”

Hiroshi Oshima said in embarrassment: "After you left for Japan, all the people in our embassy who participated in that brawl were taken away by the police, and then they were not heard from. After much inquiry, I only knew that the Gestapo had taken them over from the police, and I didn't know anything else. Hope you can help find them. ”

When you find them, you'll see a pile of corpses. There is no point in entering the concentration camp, and the people who have passed through my special care will die even more. There is no chance of survival.

Chen Dao's heart was full of murder, but his face was surprised and said, "How could the Gestapo be involved in this matter?" Well, I will ask the Gestapo about the whereabouts of those people, you wait for my news, and I will contact you as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you for your help." Hiroshi Oshima once again bowed his head and thanked Chen Dao.

Receiving two blank checks from Chen Dao, Hiroshi Oshima was satisfied and ready to leave, but Chen Dao stopped him and said, "Mr. Ambassador, please tell Prime Minister Tojo and Commander Yamamoto of the Combined Fleet that the war against the United States will be a long-term war. Ask them to be mentally prepared. In this war, if there is a need, for example, in terms of weapons and equipment. You're welcome, just ask, we'll try to provide weapons and equipment at an absolutely fair price. If Prime Minister Tojo agrees, we can send foreign trade missions to each other to strengthen exchanges. ”

Hiroshi Oshima was even more ecstatic, and hurriedly bowed to Chen Dao for the third time to thank him. Then he pushed the door open and left.

The next day, Hideki Tojo walked into the Imperial Palace of Japan. Deliver the good news to Hirohito in person.

"The Germans have given a clear answer, the German Führer has agreed to declare war on the United States, and is currently drawing up a war plan against the United States by July 1 at the latest."

A faint smile replaced the look on Hirohito's face.

"Since there is a definite time, the influence of Governor Rosen on the German Führer cannot be underestimated. Tojo Secretary, the Germans promised us that they would start a war against the United States before July 1, and the Soviets promised us to start a war against India by July 1, and the time was set for the same day. ”

Hideki Tojo said: "I also think that the Germans and the Soviets had secretly communicated, otherwise they would not have chosen the same day in time. However, their exchanges were not detrimental to the interests of the Great Japanese Empire, and we should not be too concerned. ”

"In this case, the order ordered the army to occupy the Philippines as soon as possible and take the last base of the Americans in Southeast Asia. This freed up the Army to cooperate with the military operations of the Soviets. Hirohito said.

"Your Majesty, rest assured that in two months at most, the entire territory of the Philippines will be planted with the flag of the Empire. With regard to the trade proposed by Germany, I thought it necessary to send a foreign trade mission to Germany itself to make up for the lack of resources and armaments of the Reich. ”

"This kind of thing Tojo Qing decided for himself according to the needs of the empire, that is, as long as it can bring victory to the empire, Tojo Qing can do it freely."

When Hideki Tojo reported the good news to Hirohito, he was in the city of Warsaw, far away in Eastern Europe.

Chen Dao was in a meeting with the commanders of various units in the Polish Governorate.

The first to report to Chen Dao were three lieutenant colonels, namely Lieutenant Colonel Koch of the 101st Special Air Service Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Hegel of the Blackwater Special Reconnaissance Regiment, and Lieutenant Colonel Spelberg of the DreamWorks Special Forces.

After the end of the war against Britain, the Brandenburg special forces, the originator of the German special forces, were the first to be upgraded to regimental units.

In order to keep up with the pace of Brandenburg's "big brother" and to face the upcoming Soviet-German war, the three special forces under Chen Dao were successively upgraded to regimental units, and the three commanders also rose with the tide and were promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

The three units have reached full strength and are currently undergoing rigorous training and are also being equipped with new equipment.

Under Chen Dao's care, the three units became the first users of the G42 semi-automatic rifle, the STG42 assault rifle and the MG42 machine gun.

Not only the Type 42 three brothers, but also the FA-223 Dragon helicopter and the Fi-282 Hummingbird helicopter became the standard readiness of the special forces.

Three special forces units were successfully upgraded, and the achievements of the others were also encouraging.

The artillery regiment of the 30th Infantry Division from the army has practiced the TOT artillery tactics proposed by Chen Dao to the point of perfection, and not only that, the division is also one of the first users of the Type 42 three brothers, but also has received special care from Chen Dao, and has obtained the luxurious equipment of the No. 3 assault artillery battalion of the division.

As an army unit, the 30th Infantry Division fed back the experience of using TOT artillery tactics and the praise of the three brothers of the 42 type to the army headquarters, and the promotion of the three brothers of the 42 type was immediately taken seriously, and it became inevitable to equip the German army on a large scale.

Artillery tactics were also reflected in the insight of the Army Command, which immediately issued two orders: one was to have the 30 Infantry Division Artillery Regiment summarize this tactic in writing and compile it into a teaching material, and at the same time to hold a training course at the 30 Infantry Division Artillery Regiment to popularize this tactic among the German artillery.

With the artillery officers from various units joining the study, the birth history of TOT artillery tactics has also rapidly spread in the German world, especially in the artillery circle, and Chen Dao has successfully won the reputation of "the father of TOT artillery tactics".

At Chen's suggestion and Himmler's approval, the 8th Waffen-SS Cavalry Brigade under Figlein's command was successfully upgraded to the 8th Cavalry Division.

Chen Dao did this to commend the arrogance of the Polish partisans in just three months after entering Poland, in which the main force of the Polish partisans was exterminated and more than 20,000 guerrillas were killed and captured.

The Figlein Cavalry Brigade, together with the various carrot policies implemented by the Polish Governor-General, successfully reversed the chaotic situation in Poland and made outstanding contributions to the safety of the lives and property of the Polish people.

After listening to the reports of the commander of the 13th Waffen-SS Holy Sword Division and Colonel Mills, commander of Hitler's Youth Division, Chen Dao announced the dismissal of the meeting.

After the meeting, Colonel Mills was left at the meeting by Chen Dao.

Seeing the three men and one woman called out by Chen Dao, and hearing Chen Dao say that these four people were volunteers from the United States, Colonel Mills was very happy at first, and especially extended a warm welcome to the great beauty Sang Li.

Everyone loves beautiful things, and Colonel Mills is no exception.

While welcoming the arrival of the Levi Four, Colonel Mills pondered which department to place this unbelievably beautiful girl into. In the field hospital of the division, I still worked as an operator or typist in the logistics department.

When he heard that Sang Li was going to be assigned to the front-line combat unit, Colonel Mills suddenly felt that his whole person was almost broken.

"She's the only one, arranged into the combat unit? Are you joking with me, Your Excellency? Or do you not see that she is a woman? Colonel Mills asked, shocked.

"She's the only one at the moment, but it's hard to say how much there will be in the future. You should feel honored that your division can become a pilot unit of the new policy of the empire, and if there are any difficulties, find a way to overcome them yourself. Chen Dao said.

Hearing the determination in Chen Dao's tone, Colonel Mills had no choice but to take on the drudgery with a bitter face.

Chen Dao and Colonel Mills left the city of Warsaw together, Colonel Mills rushed back to the division headquarters of Hitler's Youth Division, but Chen Dao rushed to the southern outskirts of Warsaw, the training ground of the Panzer Regiment of the Reichsmarshal Panzer Division.

The vast training ground was covered with the marks of tank tracks, and a company of fourteen outrageously handsome tanks was practicing a group attack, and the rumbling of artillery was deafening.

Seeing Chen Dao's arrival, Mandol came forward and said to Chen Dao excitedly: "These E-40 tanks are really powerful, whether it is mobility, protection or firepower, the only drawback is that the number is too small, if our whole division can be equipped with this kind of tank, I firmly believe that there is no country in this world whose army can stop our attack." ”

"The number will increase, don't be in a hurry." Chen Dao said with a smile.
