There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there will be no pie for no reason; If you don't work hard to do anything, and you don't work hard, how can you talk about the harvest!

Therefore, this move to help Ukraine, Chen Yanlong did not intend to be a good man in vain.

And for the attacks of the Anglo-American forces, which have now temporarily repelled on the Western Front; and having taken control of Italy; So he planned to send Rommel to Africa again to occupy the colonies there.

Guderian returned to the north and sent to the Middle East, as well as to India and other colonies to occupy some areas rich in natural resources; to provide sufficient resources for Germany's high-tech development.

Of course, his aim was not to rule the whole world, nor did he even think of ruling the whole of Europe; His intention now is only to become the most powerful country in Europe; Of course, such a plan does not mean that he is not interested in sweeping through the major powers, letting them know how powerful Germany is, and striking at those powers that prevent Germany from becoming an everlasting foundation.

However, the oil resources of Africa, the Middle East and other places have to find a way to obtain.

Of course, there are many natural resources that Germany lacks, and it has to find ways to obtain them from the overseas colonies of Britain, France, and the United States.

When all strata of Ukraine were discussing Chen Yanlong's new policy, Zeitzler, chief of the General Staff of the German Army, and Field Marshal Keitel, chief of the German Supreme Command, also hurriedly came to meet Chen Yanlong.

Because they also can't understand why Chen Yanlong suddenly wants to openly publicize helping Ukraine and become an independent country, because the consequence of this is that it will not benefit the occupied areas and interests established by the German army in Ukraine.

"Hmmm! You're all here? ”

In the meeting room of the Berlin Chancellery, Chen Yanlong smiled slightly when he saw Marshal Keitel and Chief of the General Staff Zeitzler, who were in a hurry and sweating profusely.

"Yes! Monarch! We came in such a hurry that we just wanted to talk to you about the independence of Ukraine! ”

The Chief of the General Staff, Zeitzler, wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded honestly.

"I've already determined that thing, my purpose is very simple, to let the Ukrainians and the Soviet army fight to the death! Provide rest and recuperation for our living forces! There's no such thing as a free lunch, right? ”

Hearing this, Chen Yanlong explained very calmly.

"But if the Ukrainians drive away those Soviet troops, then won't we lose the grain region of Ukraine? If such a thing really happens, it will be a great loss for our domestic food problem! ”

Chief of the General Staff Zeitzler worried.

"That's right! I think so too, and if in case those Ukrainians don't fight with the Soviets after they get weapons and equipment, and freedom; Even if we join forces with them, then we will not suffer heavy losses, and we will be flanked by them! ”

Marshal Keitel also quickly interjected and proposed.

"So what does it feel like without our help those Ukrainians would be able to stand up to the entire Soviet Union, and the Anglo-American allies behind them? And do you think the Ukrainians will unite with the Soviet army, which is ambitious and wants to regain Ukrainian territory? If this is the case, then why do you think these Ukrainians, who like to be independent, welcomed us with food, clothing, and so on when we invaded the Soviet Union? ”

Chen Yanlong asked disappreciably.

"This ...... I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm most afraid of what if! Monarch! I always feel that if we are good people like this, helping those Ukrainians against the Soviet army, it will put us in unknown danger! ”

After hearing this, Zeitzler, the chief of the General Staff, was still worried.

"Hey! Let me ask you a question, who is stronger in the forces of our empire than in Ukraine? ”

Chen Yanlong suddenly asked rhetorically.

"Of course our troops of the German Empire are strong, we are the strongest!"

The Chief of the General Staff, Zeitzler, and Field Marshal Keitel, without hesitation and confidently, stood up and responded loudly.

"I think the same way, so if the Ukrainians, with our support and help, don't do their best to fight those Soviet troops, and even want to rebel against us as white-eyed wolves, then I don't mind destroying them! Then no one will have an excuse to say that we occupied Ukraine! ”

Chen Yanlong waved his hand and smiled.

After hearing this, Zeitzler, chief of the General Staff, and Marshal Keitel both looked at each other in surprise and were speechless for a while.

"That's it! The purpose of me asking you to meet me today is not to discuss with you the issue of Ukraine's independence, but to discuss with you how I can mobilize troops to recover the oil and natural resources of the Middle East and Africa! If Germany wants to develop high technology, then we must have more natural resources to develop and produce more new weapons and equipment, as well as other scientific and technological products. ”

"For example, refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, and mobile phones, as well as computers, etc., ......"

Chen Yanlong continued.

"What! But the Führer! We have just experienced the Battle of Sicily, and several large-scale battles in a row, and now the Soviet army is still engaged in a large-scale counterattack on the Eastern Front, we will go there to draw so many troops and capture the oil areas of North Africa and the Middle East in two batches! ”

Hearing this, Chief of the General Staff Zeitzler and Marshal Keitel were suddenly full of surprise, and their eyes widened and exclaimed.

"That is, of course, to take the troops from Rommel, and Guderian, and Hausser, who was still encircling and suppressing the troops in Yugoslavia, and let them personally lead the troops to occupy the overseas colonies for us! As for the Eastern Front, I will try to find a way to teach the Soviet troops a profound lesson, so that they can temporarily stop the large-scale counterattack offensive! ”

Chen Yanlong said his opinion.

"But if you do this, Führer, then who will we send to deal with the enemy forces in Italy and Yugoslavia, and we are also short of troops now!"

"And then there are British and American troops, how can we deal with it? Although they have been temporarily beaten by us and evacuated, it does not mean that they have no combat effectiveness at all, and they will not come back; And how can we cross their defensive lines and send troops to North Africa, and the Middle East? ”

Regarding Chen Yanlong's suggestion, Zeitzler, chief of the General Staff, and Marshal Keitel both retorted in disapproval.

"I'm going to hand it over to Kesselring to deal with, and lead the troops there! As for Yugoslavia, I have to consider that the difficult opponent Tieto has not yet been eliminated by Hausser! It's a real headache for me! ”

Chen Yanlong frowned and said.
