Chapter 045: De Gaulle's Dream
Hitler felt that after the fall of France, this kind of defeatist sentiment permeated the German people, but although Hitler knew, he was unwilling to admit that the bombing of Germany by Allied planes was more and more frequent, and this kind of sentiment among the people became even more powerful.
After China's entry into the war, Hitler felt the need to exert his eloquence and inspire the self-confidence of the people.
After Hitler's order, the SS quickly arranged it, and the newspapers publicized this matter as soon as China declared war on the Soviet Union, and the German people were exaggerated with emotion, as if victory was not far away, and the haze of previous bombing was swept away.
To say why the Germans are so confident in China's participation in the war, it is mainly due to Wang Hanzhang's previous operations in Southeast Asia, as well as the later Outer Mongolia War, the squadron showed good combat effectiveness, especially the Mongolian battle played a majestic style, at that time the two sides had begun to cooperate, the Soviet Union was a hostile country, watching the hostile country being beaten badly, the Germans naturally couldn't hide their joy,
Today, China is fighting against their biggest enemy, the Soviet Union, and with the various performances of the previous squadron, they believe that the end of the Soviet Union is not far away.
As long as the Soviet Union is destroyed, Germany will have a stable rear, and the millions of troops in the Soviet Union can be transferred to the Western Front, and the American and British troops in France will be taken to the sea, and then Britain will be taken, and finally the United States will be killed, then Germany will have most of the time, and the Germans feel that happiness will come too quickly.
The German people have been given a speech by their FΓΌhrer, one by one turning on the radio,
Hitler's demagogic voice came over the radio, "This morning at 6:04:4 is a decisive day, at this moment, our ally China has already fought against the Slavs, China has 500 million people, a quarter of the world's population, and the most important thing is that China is in the war, the Slavs will no longer have a stable rear base in Asia, and the British and Americans will not be able to send supplies to the Slavs from Iran, and soon the resources of the Slavs will be exhausted, and soon they will surrender, I believe that in just 3 months, at most 3 months, Stalin will obediently surrender to us. β
"Germany and its allies have 5 million troops in the Soviet Union, pinned down by the Soviet army, once the Soviet Union surrenders, we can drive these troops to the Western Front and regain our lost territory, we will drive the American and British troops of one million troops down the Atlantic to feed the fish, and the British will have to surrender to us obediently."
"The people of Germany ......"
Hitler chattered for half an hour before it ended, but the Germans gained self-confidence from that sonorous voice, no matter how hard it is, it will only be a few months, as long as they survive these months, they will be greeted with countless lands and wealth, as well as all kinds of food,
The British and French also listened to this speech, especially the French, after Germany and China entered the war, they may be reduced to slavery again, the mixed feelings in their hearts,
De Gaulle had already arrived in France, and he demanded that the British and American troops immediately help France recover all of France, and then France could reorganize its armament and fight Germany.
De Gaulle personally visited Eisenhower, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, and as a staunch nationalist, De Gaulle resolutely did not want France to die again at the time of victory, and they paid too much for today's victory.
"Report, the chairman of the Provisional Government of France asks for a meeting." A soldier knocked on the door that had not been closed and said to Eisenhower,
"Sentient." Eisenhower knew that De Gaulle was a very conceited person, the country was destroyed, and he often regarded himself as a man of a great power, so he was often despised, so he did not often deal with them, and today he came to himself for the first time, there must be something important,
De Gaulle greeted Eisenhower very happily, and Eisenhower also responded enthusiastically, although he had always looked down on the French, especially the French free government, but if this matter was the territory of France, they did not intend to occupy it, so maintaining good relations was helpful for the war.
"Your Excellency, I don't know what you think of the current occupation."
Eisenhower was a smart man, and knew that de Gaulle had something big to say, "Well, yes, soon we will be able to attack the German mainland, and the Axis powers are not far from complete defeat." β
De Gaulle said: "According to the original assumption, this is the case, but this morning the Chinese have already fought against the Soviet Union, I am afraid that there will be a lot of variables." β
Eisenhower said: "The Chinese are self-defeating, they cannot prevent the destruction of the Axis powers, how can their little industrial foundation be compared with the United States." In fact, Eisenhower was also very worried about this, but naturally he couldn't say it.
De Gaulle did not sell the guanzi either, he said: "Originally, the Soviets have always relied on the resources of Asia and the industries transferred there, and with the assistance of the United States, they have been supported to this day, but after China's war against the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union has no hinterland, and their industrial bases and mineral resources in Asia are all under the bombardment of China, and production is bound to stop, and with the attack of the Chinese ground forces, I am afraid that it will soon fall." β
Eisenhower said, "Do you have any good suggestions?" β
De Gaulle said: "I have no advice for the Soviet Union, unless I can persuade China to give up the war, but I want to say today that if the Soviet Union really can't hold on and surrender, then the troops of Germany and his servant allies will be redeployed to the Western Front to attack us, that is millions of troops, and after the fall of the Soviet Union, the huge industry of the Soviet Union will provide Germany with a steady stream of military supplies, and we may not be able to compete with it at that time." β
"I mean, now we should attack Germany with all our might while the Soviet Union has not surrendered, and only when the Soviet Union surrenders and defeats Germany first, can we repeat the mistakes of the past."
Eisenhower said: "This is not easy, the main force of the German army is still there, if we forcibly attack Germany, then Germany can also draw a large number of elite divisions from the Eastern Front to the Western Front, and then our losses will be heavy, in addition, he does not draw troops from the Eastern Front to support, we want to attack the German mainland I am afraid it will take almost a year, if we want to force them to surrender, it will be even more difficult, I am afraid it will take two years or even more, I don't know if the Soviet Union can support it for so long." β
De Gaulle said: "We attack with all our might, first relying on aircraft to carry out strategic bombing of the German mainland, destroying their industry, and limiting their production to a standstill, then their army will not have much weapons and ammunition, and we will be more advanced than them in terms of equipment and numbers, and the other is that the ground forces will first take France, and then attack the Netherlands and Belgium from the north, and advance to the German mainland, and the other is to attack Italy to the west, and first kill this German ally." β
"After going south to Italy, you can control the Mediterranean, and the German army in North Africa will become a source of no origin, and it will not take long to surrender, then the Mediterranean is still in the hands of Germany except for the Balkans, but their power must be limited to land, and the Mediterranean is ours, we can attack the Balkans from Italy, anywhere in the Mediterranean, as well as Norway and Sweden, strategically encircle Germany, and constantly send planes to bomb the areas controlled by Germany from all sides, Germany will inevitably be exhausted at that time, and the Soviet Union may not surrender, at least not so quickly. β
"As long as we carry out a strategic encirclement of Germany, I don't think Germany can compete with us, as for China, the Soviet Union will not be able to help Germany in one day, so our ring of the Soviet Union is very important, and in case the Soviet Union perides, as long as France can be recovered, as long as Italy can be controlled, we can be invincible, and today's France will not repeat the mistakes of four years ago."
Eisenhower stopped for a long time to understand, and De Gaulle said for a long time that it was for France, but the position of France is really important, and the Allies should indeed take France as soon as possible to deal with unpredictable risks in the future,
Eisenhower didn't know much about China, but I heard some things about China, the image of China was a yellow man with a pig's tail (a contemptuous name for Europeans), in short, the image of China is that kind of weak image, but in recent years, China's image has been very mysterious, and it began to be beaten by the Japanese, but in the first two years, there was a magic to the Japanese to hold the head of the rat, and then I don't know what method was used to make the Japanese willing to withdraw from China and Southeast Asia, and China** The team's battle with the Soviet army in Outer Mongolia was also widely reported by the European and American worlds, and the Soviet army was wiped out by more than 100,000 or 200,000 in one fell swoop, which was the first time in the history of whites, and it was the first time that the Chinese beat it so badly.
Eisenhower had to reassess China's strength, and he tried to touch the cowardly image of the Chinese in his mind, otherwise it would easily interfere with his judgment.
"I think so too, we can't repeat the mistakes of four years ago, if the Soviet Union surrenders, then it is up to us to maintain peace on the earth, and France will face the situation of World War I again, even worse than World War I, I don't know if you are prepared."
"Of course, we are afraid that we will not have a chance to wash away the shame of these four years, and we will definitely beat the Germans to the position."
Eisenhower nodded appreciatively and said, "Then I can rest assured, we have drawn up a new battle plan, and we will soon march to Paris and drive the Germans out of France." β
De Gaulle nodded with satisfaction, this is exactly the result he expected, with the strong support of the United States, de Gaulle swore that he would definitely let the world see the real France in his power,
