A week after Hersman and Jizaburo Ozawa reached an agreement to "assist the pilots", Rudolph . Feng. Captain Heinsberg-Hersmann abruptly returned from the unit to Tsosen's home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He told his father and mother that he was going to Japan.

"Rudolph, you're going to Japan?" Hersman was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the reason. "It was the Japanese Vice Admiral who chose you...... That's not bad, you can see the world, it's good for future promotions. ”

It was only natural that Hersman Jr. was a carrier-based aircraft pilot, with the rank of captain, a Blue Max medal, and was technically outstanding, capable of flying not only the Fokker Zero but also the Fokker 99 dive bomber.

In addition, Hersman Jr. was an elite pilot from the military academy, who had received the strictest military training and could speak fluent English - this was actually the reason why Ozawa talked to these pilots. Because there are not many people in the Japanese Navy who can speak German, but there are many people who can speak English. So Ozawa couldn't find some pilots who didn't understand English and couldn't communicate to go to Japan.

"To Japan? God, that's too far. Chloe heard the conversation between father and son and immediately shouted.

Of course, she didn't want her son to go away, and Rudolph, as the heir to the Heinsberg-Hersmann family, had not yet found a noble lady who was a good match to be his lifelong partner. How can you go all the way to Japan? There is no suitable marriage partner in Japan......

"Mom, I have to go." Rudolph sat at the long table in the dining room, enjoying the food of his home while discussing the general trend of the world. "Because this is my mission, if the German Empire wants to lead the world, it must make full use of Japan."

That's a good point! If Germany now wants to become the world's hegemon, it must defeat the United States, and to defeat the United States, it must use Japan to contain part of the American naval power. And the better Japan fights in the Pacific, the less pressure Germany will have in the Atlantic.

If Japan can really capture Hawaii, it will wipe out the main force of the US Pacific Fleet. Then most of the "polar night showdown" planned by Hersman will not need to be fought. Because it is impossible for the Americans to take out their remaining main naval force and fight with Germany -- that is the seed of the revival of the American Navy, and if they are all exhausted, there will be no qualified officers and sailors to operate the newly built large warships when they are launched.

And if the US Atlantic Fleet were to shrink and become a fleet, then the Atlantic sea supremacy would belong to Germany for a long time. With the power of the Atlantic, Britain is the turtle in the urn, and the territory of Africa can be easily acquired, and South America can also be infiltrated with the help of Germans and Catholics.

Chloe frowned and glanced at her husband, Hersman, as if to get Hersman to open her mouth and let her son stay in Europe.

"Chloe, Rudolph should go, it's a nice place." Hersman said with a smile.

As a father, he felt that his son's trip to Japan would not be more dangerous than staying in Europe, because Ozawa Jizaburo had promised not to send escort missions to German pilots, and it was safer to serve as a direct cover than to escort, and it would be safer if he went to school as an instructor.

And by the time Rudolph returned to Germany after completing his trip to Japan, it was estimated that it would have been 1943 or 1944. At that time, the war is almost over, and Rudolph has the experience of the Pacific War, and most of them will not be sent to the battlefield again, it is estimated that he should go to be an instructor, and when the war is over, he will go to the Air Force Staff College for further study, and the future should be very good.

"I don't think he's going to be there for long...... Maybe by 1943 he will be able to return. When the time comes, he will become a national hero, and maybe bring back a Japanese girlfriend. ”

"Japanese girlfriend?" Chloe hurriedly shook her head and said to her son seriously, "Rudolph, this is not allowed, you are the heir to the marquis, maybe soon you will be the heir to the duke!" You have to have a good wife. ”

In this era, European aristocrats and commoners would lose their inheritance rights if they intermarried, which is why Chloe was so nervous. And in Chloe's circle, there are already many prominent figures who want to introduce Rudolph to very noble-born girls. Some even have the title of duchess or princess. Chloe couldn't resist taking home one of the particularly beautiful Duchesses from the Westbach dynasty (a relative of Princess Sissi) and introducing her son.

Hersman smiled at his son: "It can only be a girlfriend or a lover, but you can't marry home, understand?" ”

"Father!" Little Rudolph's face turned red, and he actually showed a shy look, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Ludwig!" Chloe glared at her husband as well. "Your son is a Prussian noble officer!"

The Prussian aristocratic officers were a very conservative group, and the playboys were not welcome in this group. The more mainstream is the one like Hersman, who marries a woman of noble birth and has a rich dowry, and then stays there for the rest of his life and has another litter of children.

"Well," Hirschman said to his son, shrugging his shoulders, "I'm kidding you...... But as far as I know, the Japanese will definitely arrange women for you, and that's what they do there, that's the Japanese culture. Just play around, but don't take it seriously. ”

Little Rudolph's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and began to the steak that his mother had fried himself......

While Hersman was teaching his son Rudolph "diplomatic etiquette" after he went to Japan, another Rudolph was also ordered to pack up and go to Japan.

"To Japan?" Rudolf Rudolf, who served as a platoon commander in the tank destroyer battalion of the motorized rifle division of the Waffen-SS "Großdeutschland". Feng. Second Lieutenant Ribbentrop was suddenly summoned to the company headquarters this morning, and received a transfer order from the company commander Schwarzenegger.

According to the order, he was to go to the "Military Advisory Group for Aid to Japan", led by Lieutenant General Paulus, as an anti-tank technical adviser.

"Lieutenant, why me? I'm just a second lieutenant. "Rudolph. Ribbentrop was a little confused.

In this time and space, because the Hungarian Revolution was relatively large, Germany retained the General Staff after World War I. Therefore, the training system for elite officers has also been preserved, and officers like Little Hersman who entered the military academy at a young age and received more than 10 years of military education are the real elite. And Rudolph. Ribbentrop was only a non-elite officer promoted from among the soldiers, and in terms of military qualities was not a notch worse than the former.

"Because you're an expert in anti-tank warfare, and you can also speak English." Lieutenant Schwarzenegger patted Rudolph. Ribbentrop's shoulder, said, "What is needed above is an officer with practical experience in anti-tank warfare, but also proficiency in the use of various light anti-tank weapons, including the 'Iron Fist'." You are the most suitable person in our 'Großdeutschland' division. And it's a very good assignment, and there will definitely be a chance to get promoted when you come back from Japan. ”

The Japanese are going to get an "iron fist" from Germany, and this anti-tank weapon, which is easy to produce and use, is clearly suitable for Japan. Moreover, the samples of the "Iron Fist" were also easy to carry and could be taken to Japan by the German military advisory group as luggage - the military advisory group was considered a diplomat, and had diplomatic immunity, and Soviet customs could not search their luggage.

Of course, they can't keep a No. 4 tank or an 88mm anti-aircraft gun as luggage.

"Imperial Marshal!" Lieutenant General Paulus saluted Hersman, then walked briskly to Hersman's desk.

"Sit down." Hersman looked up at his former lieutenant, now Lieutenant General Paulus. In this plane, Paulus would definitely not be able to get the Marshal's Scepter, he was just an office general.

"Ready?" Hersman asked, "When will you go?" ”

"Yes, it's ready, it will leave on September 26 and you will be able to arrive in Japan on September 27." Paulus replied.

The "Paulus Advisors" were to travel to Japan on a Lufthansa plane, landing on the territory of the Soviet Union for refueling, but none of the passengers were allowed to get off the plane and set foot on Soviet soil.

"Have you studied the situation on Oahu?" Hersman then asked.

"I've studied it." Paulus replied, "There are quite a few large-caliber shore guns on Oahu now, and there are a lot of aircraft. There are also 2 divisions of the US Army, as well as quite a few Marines and Navy personnel, and the total number of defenders may be as high as 5-60,000. Moreover, there are 100-200 tanks on the island...... It is believed that the Battle of Oahu will be very tragic, and the Japanese casualties will likely exceed those of the Battle of Arthur. ”

Paulus's Lushun Battle certainly refers to the Russo-Japanese War's Lushun offensive and defensive battles, in which the Japanese fought for five months and suffered 59,000 casualties before finally capturing the fortress. And the deployment of the US military on Oahu is no less than the deployment of Russia in Lushun in the past. The loss of about 60,000 people is likely to be borne by the Japanese army.

However, 60,000 people for one Oahu is definitely a very good deal. However, Oahu is not the Port of Arthur after all, it is thousands of kilometers away from the Japanese mainland, and if it takes five months to attack, then the Japanese will definitely be dragged down by their own logistics lines.

In Hersman's view, the only way to seize the island in a short period of time was to unleash a super battleship like the "Yamato" and take out several important batteries south of Oahu. At the same time, it is also necessary to land on the beachhead on the north coast of Oahu, which is beyond the reach of heavy artillery, and fill in the sea of corpses all the way to Pearl Harbor.

Considering that Japan does not have tank landing ships, and the United States has tanks deployed on Oahu, Hersman provided Japan with the "Iron Fist" anti-tank grenade launcher, a cheap and high-quality secret weapon. (To be continued.) )
