"Ladies and gentlemen, before today's joint arms meeting begins, you need to explain the current situation."

After the personnel arrived, Ludwig Brown, who was the deputy chief of the General Staff. Feng. Senior General Heinsberg-Hersmann was the first to speak.

"The present situation is the re-emergence of the German Empire, which has broken the erroneous policy of the balance of power in Europe that the British Empire has long adhered to. Now our German nation has not only basically achieved unity, but our industrial strength has approached or exceeded that of Britain and France combined. Our population is already close to 90 million (including ethnic Czechs), which will be more than that of the United Kingdom and France combined. Under these circumstances, British and French imperialism, which adhered to the wrong policy, insisted on dividing Europe, and was unwilling to face up to the rise of Germany, would inevitably undermine Germany's rise with a policy of war.

At present, Britain and France are supporting Poland precisely for the purpose of containing our country. Moreover, Poland, relying on the support of Britain and France, is also adopting a policy of hostility towards our country, and in the near future the Polish army is very likely to provoke an aggressive war against our country. Britain and France will also join the Polish camp and jointly launch an invasion of our country. In order to oppose aggression and to save the Germans from Poland, it was necessary to prepare for war after June 1939. ”

The approximate time for the start of the war has been set - after June 1939!

Everyone who attended the meeting felt their hearts tighten. Although they have known for a long time that they are going to go to war, and they also support it. After all, there is a "socialist alliance" in this space-time, and Germany should not be defeated.

But in a war with Britain, France, and Poland, it may not be easy to win, right?

"In view of the bitter lessons of the last great war," Hersmann's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the room, including Field Marshal Schleicher, who was slightly worried.

"We should be ready to resist aggression for a long time! Hence the work on the production and research and development of armaments. There must be long-term planning. It is impossible to win a war of resistance to aggression within a few months, and we must have the ideological and material preparations to persist for five to 10 years, as well as the confidence to defeat all imperialism!

After all, our power is limited, so we must use it rationally and give full play to the maximum efficiency. Putting our limited resources and industrial capacity to work where they are needed most. ”

Here's what Hersman said. Nodding at his aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Colonel Spayel, who immediately pulled a stack of papers from his briefcase and began to distribute them. This is a draft for comments "On the classification of armament items".

"So, we need to sort out the projects at hand, the production capacity and the various resources." Hersman went on to say, "All projects and production must be given four levels of supply: 'Priority,' 'Normal,' 'Slow,' and 'Suspended,' depending on the course of the war." ”

Even if the stockpiles were carried out more than a decade in advance, the current Germany does not have enough resources to launch all its armament projects at full capacity.

"Now, the General Staff has roughly set a standard,"

"Priority can be given to the projects needed to defeat Poland and France; A project that played a big role in the blockade of the UK. It can also be prioritized; For projects that can help Germany seize sea supremacy in the North Sea and the English Channel, they can be set as ordinary class; Projects that are of great importance to the Empire's defense of Europe can be classified as slow; Projects that do not significantly contribute to the course of the war can be suspended; For civilian projects, the recommendation of the General Staff is that the maximum supply level is ordinary; Any consumer goods not related to the war, such as personal cars, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, pianos, etc., should cease production after the war begins.

In addition, the General Staff proposes to strengthen the management of arms production. The Armaments Directorate of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the Armaments Directorate of the Ministry of National Defense, and the Resource Reserve Bureau of the General Staff were merged into the General Directorate of Armaments. At the same time, the General Directorate of Armaments was granted the power to integrate and manage the production of the military industry throughout the country. And immediately after the start of the war, the general mobilization of the military-industrial complex, the implementation of a general war! ”

This time, Hersman was ready to push for the general mobilization of the military-industrial complex before the war!

Anyone familiar with the history of the Second World War knows that the leader and chancellor of the Reich, Adolf. Hitler's biggest mistake in this war was not to rashly attack the Soviet Union without defeating Britain.

Rather, there was no timely general mobilization for a general war. This allowed the German army to always go to war with an enemy who was superior in numbers and equipment when they were small in numbers and had no obvious superiority in weapons.

And the German army actually fought well for a long time! It was not until after the Battle of Stalingrad that the initiative was lost. Gradually, at a disadvantage. And it was precisely after the defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad that Hitler ordered a general mobilization of the military-industrial complex.

……

"General mobilization?" Adolph. Hitler looked at Hersmann and Schleicher, who had come to report to him, with a very strange gaze.

"Why the general mobilization?" Hitler's question stunned two German generals who could memorize Field Marshal Ludendorff (who became a marshal after the restoration of the emperor) in his book The Total War.

"Your Excellency, we are going to war," Hersman said...... "and it will be a world war, just like the war that began in 1914." In order to defeat the enemy, we must practice a total war. ”

"No," said Adolf. Hitler smiled, looking very confident, and he patted the "proposal" on the table: "It is enough to create a General Directorate of Armaments and to manage armaments and industry." I know the power of Germany, we are very strong! He waved his arm vigorously, "The Poles are not our opponents, and the war will be over in three months." ”

"And the two adversaries, England and France," Marshal Schleicher reminded, "are the real enemies." ”

"But we have the Soviet Union on our side, and there is also an Italy, and sooner or later Mussolini will be on our side."

Hitler did not look worried, and he smiled, "In this way, three of the five major military powers in Europe belong to our camp." Moreover, the current public opinion in the United States is very anti-war, isolationism is prevalent, and it is impossible to enter the war. Under these circumstances, I even doubt that England and France will go to war with us for the sake of Poland, which is unnecessary, and that they simply cannot win. ”

"Britain and France will definitely declare war on us!" Hersmann shook his head and said slowly, "Leader, you don't seem to have figured out who the real enemy of the German Empire is?" ”

He paused, then asked himself: "Our enemies are not the Poles, nor the people of England and France, but the international Jewish financial consortium that controls Britain, France, Poland, and the United States!" Our National Socialism in Germany is the biggest obstacle to the domination of the world by the international Jewish financial consortium, so they will definitely let Britain and France fight us to the end, and in the end they will draw the United States into war. ”

Hitler's blue-gray eyes looked at Hersmann, and the expression on his face became serious. "Ludwig, I can't say that these words of yours are wrong. The Jewish consortium is a scourge, but it is a bit of a fuss to think that they can control countries like Britain, France, and the United States.

If Britain and France really declare war on us, it will not be a big deal, just enough to clean up France after defeating Poland. As for the UK...... We can make peace with them. I'm 100% sure, so don't worry. ”

……

"Your Excellency the President, Your Excellency the Marshal, rest assured that France will never abandon its Polish friends."

At the Belvedel Palace in Warsaw, the visiting Chief of the General Staff of the French Army, Admiral Gammerin, assured Polish President Mośěcčić and the Polish Army's Inspector-General Reiz-Himigvi.

"Now everything is in our hands and that of Great Britain, and we are fully aware of the collusion between Germany and the Soviet Union, and we have a complete plan to deal with it."

After a period of research, the British and French militaries have come to believe that the "Black Plan" given to them by Stern is basically credible. And they also thought that relying on the forces of Britain, France and Poland would be enough to crush the Soviet-German offensive!

Even if it can't be crushed, it's not a big deal, because both Britain and France believed that the purpose of the alliance between the Soviet Union and Germany was only to recover the lands lost in the Soviet-Polish war.

After achieving this goal, the Soviet Union would not attack Britain and France with Germany, even if it did not turn against Germany. Moreover, it is very likely that the Soviet Union and Germany turned against each other, because there will always be an uneven distribution of the spoils between the two robbers.

In the eyes of Gammelin, the present situation was very good, at least for a soldier of his calibre - another victory over the German Empire would make him one of the greatest soldiers in the history of France.

And after this victory, Germany will not be able to keep the Rhine in any case, which will be annexed by France!

"But Admiral, the combined forces of the Soviet Union and Germany are stronger than ours." Rez Himigvi frowned slightly, looking slightly worried.

Although Poland was now the strongest it had ever been, it was still no match for the Soviet Union and Germany combined - if only one Soviet Union was preparing to attack, Rez-Shimigvi would not have to worry at all, and the Pilsudski Line was sufficient to defend Poland. If only Germany was ready to attack...... He even wanted to join forces with France and Belgium to make a preemptive strike.

But now it is the Soviets and Germany joining forces!

"And us!" "We, France and Great Britain, have given Poland security guarantees," Ganmarin said. As soon as Poland is attacked by Germany, we will attack the western part of Germany. In addition, we have an agreement with Italy, and they are likely to be on our side as they were in the last war. (To be continued.) )
