"The problem has to be considered in two ways, the Americans can produce so much and we can't stop it, rather than let them spend all these materials and financial resources on the defense of their homeland, it is better to let them go all the way to the UK, we can kill half of it first, and occasionally grab a handful like Newfoundland did last time!" As soon as he said this, Ribbentrop and Hoffmann both smiled, the Battle of Newfoundland did suffer a lot of losses, but the more than 1 million tons were also very cool, not to mention the materials, just the hundreds of ships made Spelle, who was responsible for the dispatch of materials, blossom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And after a head-to-head confrontation with the British and American navies, the morale of the navy began to improve.

Hoffman waved his hand: "Let them send, at least they can contain some British and American naval forces in the North Atlantic, and create an opportunity for the Ise formation to break through to the Falklands." ”

The Ise formation has passed through the Suez Canal, and the news will certainly reach the United States, and the Supreme Command expects that Britain and the United States will not take it lightly this time -- the reason why they passed the customs easily last time was entirely because Europe and the United States believed that Germany's destination was India, and Britain and the United States would certainly use the South African base to launch a diplomatic break, and the problem of light submarines or long-range bombers was not a big deal, and they were most afraid that Britain and the United States would use their main fleet to intercept them, and if they went to the North Atlantic to break diplomatic relations, they would be able to delay each other.

"Then I will continue to deal with the black cat?"

Hoffman nodded: "They can't live long on the left and right. After the new warships such as the Hyuga and the Rangbar are put into service in late March and the rest of the warships are repaired, all the new carrier-based aircraft will be reequipped, and Commander Ozawa said that he will pull them out to fight again, and if they can add the force of the combined fleet, a general decisive battle will be held so that they can sober up at that time. ”

Although Horiyoshi still has different considerations for the second westward expedition, Japan and Germany have made great progress in other aspects of cooperation, based on the Yunlong reform based on the Axis class aircraft carrier design scheme was finally completely finalized, the standard displacement of 25,000 tons, the carrier-based aircraft equipped with 72 commonly used + 10 reserves, all the technical details are consistent and locked, in the future, the German, Italian and Japanese axis aircraft carriers can be in each other's ports and docks for standardized maintenance, supply and even repair.

Hoffmann ambitiously launched a huge European shipbuilding program, in addition to the existing warships on the slipway that have already started, the new aircraft carriers that have been built since March have adopted this standard, and the number of countries has also adopted them: Japan starts construction of 6-8 ships per year (6 ships in 1944, 7 ships in 1945, 8 ships in 1946), Germany starts construction of 1 ship per month (half in the North Sea and Mediterranean direction), Italy and France start construction of 4 ships each year, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece is the first batch of aid parties to participate in the German, Italian and French projects, and when the technology is mature, it will be built independently, and generally requires 2 ships per year. Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Greece have initially achieved synergy in the early construction of the wheel, and what needs to be done now is to raise this level again.

Everyone understands that this is part of the European Union, and the head of state put forward in the proposal a variety of economic ideas such as European coal and steel joint ventures, railway joint ventures, shipping joint ventures, electric power joint ventures, shipbuilding joint ventures, petrochemical joint ventures, postal joint ventures, telecommunications joint ventures, etc., and the coordinated construction of tank No. 4, European standard trucks, and European standard cargo ships (will wheels) has achieved initial results, which is dazzling to see. Mandatory joint ventures and standardization are certainly the most efficient, but if in the past, when there were many small countries, it was inevitable to pass the buck, and each other might ignore the overall situation for a small profit, and this is how the EU will be difficult to maintain in the future. But now that Germany has hegemony in hand, its military strength is unique in Europe, and it will fight if it is not obedient, and it is much less difficult to integrate.

In fact, all countries also know in their hearts that the resource endowment conditions of each country are different, and it is definitely uneconomical not to carry out differentiated development according to the advantages of the division of labor, but to build a complete system by themselves behind closed doors. After the standardization of products and processes, it is inevitable that the monetary unit will be unified, economic rules, internal zero tariffs and even the mutual penetration and integration of banks and finance. In a few decades, Europe may not really need to fight, because everywhere you have me, I have you, and it may be your own capital and industry that are fighting for it.

Of course, there are also people in Germany who complain that the Führer is too polite to his friends, and that he should not export all these things, how good is it to leave them in the hands of Germany? Hoffman laughed at this, Germany will have the strongest political position in Europe in the future, actually control the command of the European joint forces, and also have the right to set the oil mark and all economic, technological, industrial, and service standards, and it will wake up laughing even from a dream -- how can you open the whole European market and close it to the outside world if you don't export industrialization within the European system? And there must be competitive pressure, so as to promote industrial upgrading, Germany to go to the high-end, the middle and low-end can be ceded to other countries to develop - the standard goose-shaped model. In the future, informatization, atomic energy, aerospace, industry 3.0, and 4.0 are still waiting on the road, so why worry about no room for development and upgrading? As for what to do after Industry 4.0, Hoffman himself has never seen it, and he can't live that long, and even his son Kohler can't manage it that far, what the hell is going on? At that time, his name had long since become a part of history, and whether Germany was strong or weak, rich or poor, had nothing to do with him.

Based on this, the navy is optimistic that in the future, excluding Japan's European Combined Fleet, there will be 28 to 32 aircraft carriers mass-produced at the peak period, and although the combat strength of the Axis class is only 85 to 90 percent of that of the Essex class, and the construction period will be two months longer, it will be able to win because of the huge number. Even if this production advantage is discounted, it will steadily overwhelm the United States (they believe that Britain will soon be destroyed, and neither consider Britain for American production nor British for axis production), of course, no one knows that the United States plans to produce 24 Essex class ships per year, if measured by this standard, the Navy is more optimistic. This is also the source of Hoffman's confidence not to make concessions to the United States on the South American issue, if the Americans are no longer interested, they will not even be left with Brazil and the Caribbean!

For this reason, he asked the diplomatic channels to inform the Perón government that the Axis camp would provide Argentina with aircraft carriers at an appropriate time in the future, and that it was now possible to accept the Argentines to come to Europe to participate in the training of aircraft carrier pilots and commanders.

After Peron's revolution was successful, the Falklands were recovered, and foreign capital was nationalized, both the Peron regime and the people, although they were jubilant on their faces, were actually nervous and sweaty, and they were deeply afraid that the United States would press the border next month, and this atmosphere reached its peak when the United States sent ground troops into South American countries, and there were rumors in Argentina that the Peron government was about to fall. Perón gritted his teeth to suppress political dissidents and killed people on the head. But by the end of the battle of Newfoundland and Cape Verde, the sound had disappeared.

The United States can't even control Newfoundland, which is close at hand, to be beaten by the Germans, so how can anyone afford to go wild on the Falklands? After hearing the news that two U.S. Army divisions in Cape Verde were finally forced to surrender and join the SS, and that the U.S. fleet had fled, Peron burst out laughing three times in the presidential palace, and the face of the paper tiger of the U.S. imperialism was completely exposed. Now not only Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay are all day long around the Argentine big brother, trying to catch up with the Germans, but even the Peruvian authorities are showing signs of changing courts. With the Führer as an example, Perón also began to follow suit everywhere and treat Argentina's little brother in South America - what kind of ability is it to rob his own little brother, and he has the ability to take his little brother to rob others!

After the destruction of the Brazilian fleet, Argentina, which received part of the spoils, not only had the largest fleet in South America, but also rapidly modernized air force units and panzergrenadier units (Argentina was directly called armored brigades after reorganization, and 6 were made up in one go, and Peron asked for at least 12), if you consider the German army and air forces on the Falklands and the flag-waving cry of the small axis camp (referring to Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay), Argentina has become a hegemon in South America, and its trade with Europe has made a lot of money. The domestic economy and people's livelihood have improved, the island of Malvinas has been recovered, and Peron's political authority has swelled to the limit, and Peron himself is probably second only to San Martin, the national hero who led Argentina to independence, in the eyes of the Argentine people, and some people say that if Peron can maintain this scene for 8-10 years and retire with dignity, he may have a status above San Martin in the future.

The 49-year-old Peron quickly fell in love, openly taking the 25-year-old Evita to various occasions and shaking hands with the commoners, although the upper class was against this feeling, no one dared to say such things bluntly in front of Peron.

Chile, which had been competing with Argentina for the leadership of South America, is now in a much lower tone, and the left-wing forces, which have always jumped up and down, do not dare to speak much, for fear that Argentina will come to the rescue if they disagree -- the United States, which is too busy to take care of itself, will never come to Chile's rescue now, while the right-wing forces are rejoicing, and one after another Chilean officers have come to Argentina to inspect the armaments, nominally to inspect the armaments, but in fact the main purpose is to learn how the "revolution" should be reformed.

Soon, the three major experiences of Argentina were summed up by those who were interested:

1. It is necessary to rely on the Axis camp, establish good relations with Germany, strengthen trade exchanges, and hold high the banner of anti-US after obtaining the endorsement of force;

2. It is necessary to follow the populist line, liquidate foreign forces to improve popular support (for Chile, it is necessary to liquidate both the United States and the Soviet Union), attach importance to the civilian class, appropriately allocate land and industry in exchange for popular support, and "nationalize" foreign capital and comprador capital in exchange for the support of domestic capitalist groups;

3. It is necessary to strengthen national defense and develop the military, and when all the countries in South America have become hedgehogs, will the United States dare to bite them one by one?

As a result, Chile, which was relatively stable, began a treacherous process.
