Chapter 266: Denmark First

As long as Germany is not like in history, Britain and France will engage the Soviet Union before they can get it, and as a result, they will fall into a passive situation of fighting on two fronts, in fact, that kind of strategy is very stupid. Regardless of whether Germany first attacked Britain, France, or the Soviet Union, it had to fight to the end and completely surrender that enemy before it could start to fight the other.

Moreover, when Germany fights one, it must find a way to stabilize the other, so as to avoid the dilemma of Germany's two-front war. The dilemma of fighting on two fronts in Germany was completely chosen by Hitler himself, and this was Hitler's major mistake, and I really don't know how death was written.

……

After completing the exercise, Li Mo immediately returned to Berlin, and the task of training the troops was handed over to Rommel, the army commander.

Of course, Li Mo returned to Berlin for a very important matter, that is, to get enough tanks for the Seventh Panzer Army, and now all the German army units are reaching out to the high command for tanks. Even after Krupp's technical upgrades, there was still some shortage of tank four.

Another important thing is to change the name, Li Mo wants to change his name, he thinks Li Mo? Is the name Krupp the name before the crossing, Li Mo used his own name first, that is Li Mo? Krupp. (That's a bit of a nondescript name!) Don't blame me, you asked for it, I met you, and you automatically subscribed to support! )

This name change is troublesome, first go to tell your father, and then go to the headquarters to re-apply for documents, in the newspaper advertisement, anyway, it is a very troublesome thing. Li Mo can't help it! A group of brothers shouted in book reviews every day to agree with the name, and Li Mo really couldn't stand it. Then change it!

Fortunately, Krupp is already building a new tank production line, and this time Krupp has invested heavily in establishing five tank production lines at one time, and these new tank production lines are not for the production of tanks No. 3 and No. 4, but for the production of Leopard tanks.

These Leopard tank production lines, because of the use of cast armor technology, the production speed of tanks has increased a lot, one production line has a monthly output of about fifty vehicles, and five Leopard tank production lines have an annual output of about three thousand vehicles.

The annual production of 3,000 vehicles looks like a lot. But it really can't be compared with the Soviet tank sea. The USSR produced 28,159 tanks and self-propelled guns in 1944. The production of tanks and self-propelled guns in Germany was 18,956 units, a difference of a full 10,000 units.

And that's not counting the tank production of Britain and the United States, and if you add the tank production of these two countries, Germany's annual tank production is simply not worth mentioning. Especially in the late stages of World War II. The qualitative superiority of German tanks was already not so noticeable at that time. That's even more tragic.

Therefore, Li Mo has already planned to wait for the middle of next year to complete the production line of these five Leopard tanks. Krupp will also build five production lines for Leopard tanks. Efforts were made to increase the annual production of Leopard tanks to 6,000 units in '42.

Germany must establish absolute superiority in the early stage of World War II, and the comprehensive national strength of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union is at least many times that of Germany, otherwise the gods will not be able to save Germany.

Krupp now has several production lines for tanks No. 3 and No. 4 to maintain the original output, and the rest of the tanks No. 3 and No. 4 are manufactured in the Czech Republic and Poland as much as possible, so as to provide enough manpower and financial resources for the production of Leopard tanks as much as possible.

Other German tank manufacturers, such as Porsche, BMW, etc., can also increase the production of tanks 3 and 4, and their production technology is no worse than that of Krupp.

At this time, there were still eight months before the French campaign, and Li Mo had enough to tinker with his tank production plan, anyway, Li Mo stayed in the Krupp company every day, and went to see Fokker when he had time? The production of helicopters in Wolf.

Fokker has produced dozens of FA223 helicopters for Limer, and although these helicopters are ugly in appearance, they have a deadweight capacity of two tons, which is a remarkable aviation achievement. The funds provided by Li Mo to Fokker were also enough for Fokker to continue to expand production.

With a helicopter and a pair of flying wings for his armored troops, Li Mo will be even more powerful and perfect.

After watching the FA223's air show, Li Mo proposed some suggestions for Fokker to improve, such as adding detachable armor plates to the FS223 helicopter. Li Mo's meaning is that after installing the protective steel plate on the FS223, this ugly helicopter is an armed helicopter, and after removing the protective steel plate, it is a transport helicopter, which is called a multi-purpose machine.

(Because the weapons are all cold numbers, it is abbreviated and immediately enters the war.) )

……

It was fast to late March 1940:

Hitler's office in the German Reich State Building, Hitler was listening carefully to Limer's report, Limmer carefully analyzed the reasons why he attacked Denmark and Norway, and this Hitler also understood that it was only Hitler's consideration whether this occupation would make the war between Britain, France and Germany break out in advance.

"Oh! My General Limer, for your battle plan, it can be said that it is perfect, I believe that Denmark and Norway will surrender soon under the blows of your German army, but how can you guarantee that Britain and France will not enter the war, or block our oil imports. ”

"The Great Führer, we can not consider him at all about the attitude of Britain and France, now they are not ready for war, their weapons are not our opponents at all, challenging Germany at this time can only be self-defeating, Chamberlain will not do this, even the main battle faction Churchill will not be so stupid, Britain and France send troops to help Denmark and Norway, we can not worry.

The most important thing is that there is a huge oil field in the North Sea, with total oil reserves of about 5 billion tons. ”

"What, North Sea oil fields, how have I not heard of it, oh my God! Oil fields with 5 billion tons of reserves, my General Limer, you are sure. ”

"Hehe, great Führer, I am sure that the total reserves of the North Sea oil fields are about 5 billion tons, but this oil field is all offshore, and we have no way to protect this oil field, so I plan to set up a North Sea oil field company after occupying Denmark and Norway, and everyone will share the oil of the North Sea oil fields, so that when we attack the Soviet Union, we can not worry about Britain and France restricting our oil imports at all.

In addition, after we occupy Denmark and Norway, we can change the occupation to garrison troops and declare these two countries our protectorate, and we can completely refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of Denmark and Norway, so as to avoid the emergence of guerrillas or rebels in these two countries, and we can station troops at strategic points in Denmark and Norway. ”

Hitler was only thinking about a strategic issue, and how to fight it still needed to be confirmed by the commanders of the three armed forces, and now Limer was only discussing with Hitler the feasible plan of attacking Denmark and Norway, Hitler pondered for a moment and began to ask in a consultative tone:

"My General Limer, what if I hand over this battle to Marshal Brauchitsch, will he be able to complete the task victoriously?"

Brauchitsch is the commander-in-chief of the army, and of course it is okay to give him command, but I am afraid that the air force and navy are not so perfect in coordination, and Marshal Keitel's chief of general staff of the German high command, he can completely command the entire German army.

"My Führer, I think it's better to leave it to Marshal Keitel for unified command! Surely his chief of the General Staff of the High Command will be able to better integrate the capabilities of the three German armies, and at the same time, Field Marshal Keitel is still your most loyal. ”
