Managing the Libyan oil fields well and having to fight for the Middle East or Baku is the posture that Germany should adopt strategically. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

To operate the Libyan oil fields, it is necessary to keep the Libyan oil fields in a relatively safe hinterland.

In addition, the attack on Egypt and the Middle East had another advantage: cutting off the possibility of the British and American bombing of Romania from the flanks.

As long as the Romanian oil fields are safe, and the Libyan oil fields are added, Germany will not be in danger of running out of oil on the road to expansion, and it will be able to develop more heavy equipment with peace of mind.

If the newly developed oil field in Libya cannot be saved, then Germany will be on the same path as it is defeated again because of the problem of resources.

Under this premise, Li Le believes that Germany's main strategy at this stage should be formulated around Libya.

What's more, in the process of defending the Libyan oil fields, it is also possible to attack Egypt, a British colony, and weaken the power of Britain.

In order to fight against Britain in the Balkans and North Africa at the same time, Li Le even felt that he could postpone the Barbarossa Plan indefinitely.

The invasion of the Soviet Union was only the last step in German expansion, and in terms of importance, it was as important as weakening Britain or even isolating the United States.

With the burden of Britain with full firepower and the speculative United States, it is an extremely unwise choice to declare war with the Soviet Union.

Li Le believed that at least one of Britain and the United States should be resolved, so that the war against the Soviet Union could ensure that Germany could concentrate its forces and go all out.

The United States is clearly an unsolvable burden, and even if the United States now promises not to enter the war, Germany does not dare to believe this promise easily.

What's more, the United States tore up its promises and it was just a betrayal, and Li Leke didn't want to pin his life and safety on the idea that the Americans kept their promises.

Since the American threat always existed, the idea of attacking the British became the most practical and effective option for Germany.

A simultaneous defeat of Britain in the Balkans and Egypt would have turned the situation in Germany's favor.

On the one hand, there were many French colonies around Egypt, which would soon be biased towards the French Vichy government, which would be advantageous for the Axis powers.

On the other hand, after controlling the Suez Canal, the Italian and French fleets could focus their attention on Gibraltar, and the safe sea area of the Mediterranean expanded from a straight line to a plane.

After that, the German-Italian axis, which had seized the initiative, had the possibility of influencing Turkey through the Mediterranean, and even using the Mediterranean Sea to supply the German army on the Eastern Front.

In this way, the supply lines that plagued Germany would be partially solved, and the British fleet, the Mediterranean's henchmen, would be driven back to India.

After explaining his own thoughts to Brauchitsch, Li Le finally began: "Do you think my strategy in North Africa is very important? ”

"My Führer, strengthening North Africa, seems to be a good option." Brauchitsch replied: "But we must pay attention to the threat from the direction of the Soviet Union. ”

"Of course!" Li Le nodded and replied solemnly: "I don't know if the Soviet Union will be the first to start a war against me. ”

He paused, his eyes turned to Brauchitsch's body, and then continued: "My marshal, the affairs of the Eastern Front are equally important, and everything I do is to strengthen your forces in the decisive battle between Germany and the Soviet Union. ”

"I admire you very much for your foresight!" Brauchitsch patted Li Le's ass slightly, and he also knew how many weapons he had obtained these days.

From tactical vests, all the way to tank armored vehicles, he got more than before. In the face of such a good thing, how could he not admire the head of state in front of him.

He didn't care what tricks or loans the Führer used to increase the army's equipment, even if it was robbery, as long as it was for the construction of the army, he would support it.

"We spent a lot of money on the production and improvement of weapons and equipment." After complimenting Li Le, Brauchitsch suggested: "We can suspend the development of some weapons and equipment that are not urgently needed......

"The enemy will not stop! Our opponents won't give up trying to defeat us just because we stop! They will develop new weapons and rely on them to defeat us! Li Le interrupted his suggestion.

The false Führer waved his hand in front of Brauchitsch and said: "We can't stop!" We have to keep improving! Because the German nation is the greatest nation in the world! Development can allow us to maintain our advanced nature! ”

Brauchitsch, as a veteran army general, was not very interested in the Führer's strong racial superiority.

He was reluctant to allow racial issues to spread to the army or to involve it in operations against the Jews.

Now, however, it seems that the Führer was already improving his dangerous racial policy, and he had heard a little about the reform of the Polish labor camps.

And, it seems, a significant part of the 105 mm caliber howitzer shells that Germany is now armed with, it is these labor battalions that produce.

Therefore, Brauchitsch was pleased with the large-scale and cheap expansion of armaments using Jewish workers.

Hearing that many Czech factories are producing chassis for the latest Stalker tank destroyers, and the production is not low, Brauchitsch is even more happy.

After all, under his wise leadership and with the Führer's strong support, the Wehrmacht never stopped expanding its forces.

Because of the expansion, the German Army's demand for tanks has never stopped, and tanks 3 and 4 have been in mass production.

Modifications and variants of Tank 4 were produced until the end of World War II and are still used in many countries, which in many cases shows that in many cases these tanks were not outdated.

"My Führer, such a rush for quick success will affect the overall level of the army's equipment." Brauchitsch still felt that his troops were strong enough.

In 1940, if someone said that the Army of the Third Reich was not strong enough, everyone would have laughed at him and thought he was joking.

Swept through Poland and leveled France, making it the most powerful force in the world. Germany's top brass was also blinded by the victory in front of them and lost their motivation to forge ahead.

"Not really! My marshal! I'm popularizing armored vehicles and cultivating follow-up talents for the empire to have more armored forces! Li Le looked at Brauchitsch and opened his mouth to defend himself.

Brauchitsch's plan had been seen many times, and he was horrified by the huge plan to equip the German front-line troops with 4,000 Stalkers and increase the total number of No. 4 tanks to 5,000.

The entire plan is overwhelmingly large, including the Army's maintenance of 5,000 Ultimate Modified Tanks No. 4, supplemented by at least 3,000 No. 3 assault guns and 4,000 Stalkers.

At the same time, there are 1,500 Weasel tank destroyers, at least 1,000 self-propelled howitzers, plus 5,000 newly commissioned No. 5 tanks and more than 500 outdated No. 3 tanks......

For armored combat vehicles alone, the plan gave the German Army such a huge amount of 20,000 vehicles.

This is not a simple expansion plan, but a long-term goal that the German Army will strive to accomplish.

Now, the German Army still has a long, long way to go from this grand wish, at least more than 2 years.

If Li Le's plan was followed, Brauchitsch certainly knew that the army still lacked countless armored troops, including drivers and commanders, gunners and signal soldiers.

These people can only be cultivated, and the cultivation of these people, in Brauchitsch's opinion, really seems to be only possible with such a cheap thing as a stalker.

"My Führer, aren't you really going to double the army's armored forces before Operation Barbarossa?" Brauchitsch looked at Li Le, who had a serious face, and finally confirmed this.

Li Le was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Of course, my marshal!" I'm really going to double the armored troops! ”

"You're trying to tell me...... J-18 transport fleet, just an accident? Churchill looked at the admirals of the navy with an expression as ugly as his dead father.

He ordered an investigation into the incident in which the J-18 transport fleet was ambushed by the Germans, and his subordinates investigated and investigated, but gave him the conclusion that "this incident was actually an accident".

"Your Excellency...... For the last half a year, we have been losing transport ships. The Navy officer in charge of transportation looked helpless and was the first to stand up and explain.

After he finished speaking, before Churchill could speak, a general of the Navy also said: "It is possible that this attack was just an unfortunate encounter...... We can't be too paranoid. ”

Churchill pressed his hand to the bridge of his nose, squeezed it hard, and then lowered it to look at his men: "Do you think that at least 5 German submarines ambushed our J-18 transport fleet by accident?" ”

He really wanted to question these subordinates, who were deliberately avoiding the topic of espionage: "Do you think the sinking of the battleship Resolve of the H fleet was an accident?" ”

He really wanted to pick up the collar of the other party and ask them properly: "Do you think that all our radar stations were completely destroyed by a wave of bombing by German planes, is it also an accident?" ”

He really wanted to kick them over, kick these naval officers who were afraid of censorship to the ground, and then tell them loudly: "I don't have a doubt that you were born into this world in the first place, it was an accident of your parents!" ”

"Yes! Mr. Prime Minister! In our opinion, it was indeed an accident! The admiral swallowed his spit and replied stubbornly.
