Chapter 779: The Question of How to Win

Yakov run...... Run, run fast, and see that you are in front of a gate in the prisoner of war camp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The gate was open, but outside it was still the site of a prisoner of war camp, a newly built shoe factory, which belonged to Adi. Dassler's main product, which is now mainly made of military boots, is also one of the places where prisoners of war work. However, according to the regulations, prisoners of war must be escorted by guards before they can enter the factory to work, and they are not allowed to enter or leave the factory area without permission. Therefore, at the gate leading to the factory, armed soldiers stood guard.

So when Yakov approached the gate, a German soldier had already raised his rifle as required.

That's great! I'm about to become a martyr! Yakov thought to himself, I wish the German soldier's marksmanship was better enough to understand himself with one shot.

"Smack......

The gun went off!

Yakov shivered subconsciously, but didn't feel any pain. It is clear that the bullet did not hit. So he continued to run, and then he heard another gunshot, and this time the bullet hit his feet, stirring up a cloud of sand.

Why haven't you hit yet? Yakov gritted his teeth and continued to run, when suddenly something seemed to be poked in his thigh, and then a gunshot rang out. At first, Yakov didn't feel any pain, but when he took another step, it was wrong, and a sharp pain came from his left leg, and the whole person fell to the ground unsteadily.

At this time, a German soldier rushed over and pointed a Mauser 98K rifle at Yakov, who knew that the other party would not shoot again. So he reached out and grabbed the barrel of the gun, and shouted in stiff German: "Shoot, shoot me!" ”

And at this moment, Yakov heard a voice that he hated for life, it was the Nazi witch Glazer shouting: "Don't shoot, catch the live, it must be alive, this is the order!" ”

Then Yakov was kicked, the barrel of the gun he was holding in his hand was removed, and several powerful palms pressed his arms and thighs......

……

"Found Yakov? Natalie, you did a good job! What the? The leg was broken...... Not life-threatening, right? If not, take him to Switzerland and arrange for him to be taken to the villa in Tyugivezze (where Hersmann lived when he met Lenin in Switzerland in his early years), and find the best doctors and nurses to take care of him.

Yes, don't give it to Mrs. Kollontai for now, but tell her that we found Yakov. ”

Hersman hung up the phone, then looked up at the wall clock, it was 10:30 a.m., and the High Command meeting was about to start in 10 minutes.

Today's meeting was very important to discuss the question of convening a conference of the leaders of the Axis powers -- I don't know if it was too early to rejoice, but anyway, now that the top leaders in Germany believed that the world war was about to be won, it was time to convene a summit to discuss the question of the division of the spoils of war and the question of the post-war world order.

Hirschman, of course, would not be so optimistic, he knew that the Soviet Union would not hand over Ukraine until it was exhausted. The United States may have lost its heart to intervene in European affairs after the fall of Britain itself, but it is impossible to get the United States to let Japan go. It's not just about revenge, it's about the future of the United States. Having lost the opportunity to get involved in Europe and the Middle East, the United States will inevitably aim at the Asia-Pacific region for its expansion, not territorial expansion!

Of course, Germany cannot tolerate the westward expansion of the United States into the Asia-Pacific region, otherwise the United States will have strong economic power in the future, enough to overwhelm the European community under German domination.

So the world war is far from coming to an end!

"Leaders, gentlemen, it is of course important to divide the spoils of war, but before we think about this, we should still think about how to end the war victoriously."

At today's meeting of the High Command, Hersman was the first to speak, raising the question of a victorious end to the war.

"I think how to win should be the most important issue to be discussed at the upcoming meeting of the Axis leaders," he said. ”

"Victory is, of course, the most important thing, and we have to pick the fruits of victory in our hands, and then we will study the issue of distribution." Hitler's mood today also seems to be a little low.

Because his envoy Hess (who was in charge of negotiating with Kennedy) had just reported to him that the Americans had promised to give up the European dependencies of Great Britain, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands, but not to give up support for the Soviet Union, unless Germany gave up supporting Japan as well.

And the Americans also do not agree to negotiate peace with Japan, regardless of whether Japan returns the Hawaiian Islands or not!

"The Americans did not want an armistice with Japan," Hitler said slowly, "they just wanted to make an armistice with us and then concentrate on defeating Japan...... Can we allow this to happen? ”

"Can't!" Hersmann immediately replied, "Unless we can defeat the Soviet Union once and for all, the United States, which dominates the Pacific, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, will become the great enemy of the German Reich for the next 100 years." But it was very difficult to completely defeat the USSR, and if the United States had been supplying weapons and equipment to the USSR through the Pacific Ocean, we would most likely have paid millions of casualties! ”

If Germany fails to destroy the Soviet Union, and the United States destroys Japan, then Germany will be plunged into a "two-front cold war" that will never be won - because the United States and the Soviet Union control more people, land, resources, and industrial power than the European Community, the two-front Cold War will certainly end in the defeat of Germany and the European Community.

And the destruction of the Soviet Union would mean a long and brutal war, with a high probability of shedding the blood of the Germans. Moreover, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, how to deal with the Russian nation, which has a population of 100 million, is also a difficult problem.

"And in the process of our defeat of the Soviet Union, Japan will definitely be defeated by the United States first." Hersman went on to analyze, "The lead ship of the Essex-class aircraft carrier of the United States has been launched, and more Essex-class aircraft carriers will be launched in the next year."

In addition, the lead ship of the Iowa-class battleship of the United States will also be commissioned in March next year, and the second ship will be commissioned in May next year. I think that in the second half of next year, the United States may turn on the offensive in the Pacific. ”

"The second half of next year? So fast? Hitler was somewhat surprised, "Japan's naval aviation has a big advantage, right?" ”

"Leader, their superiority will disappear in a few months," the commander of the Air Force, Field Marshal Weaver, took over the question, "according to reliable intelligence, the Americans recently entered service with a very superior carrier-based fighter, the F6F, which is enough to fight the Zero. ”

"Our Fokker Zero can't beat this kind of plane?" Hitler asked with some concern.

"The Fokker Zero D-Type should be able to beat the F6F at 5000 meters." "But at an altitude of 5,000-7,000 meters, our FW-190T may be difficult to fight against the F6F, unless the BMW801F engine can be completed on time and applied to the FW-190T." ”

The BMW 801F is probably the ultimate model of the BMW 801 series, and this engine can put out 2,400 hp without "taking drugs", almost reaching the level of 18-cylinder air-cooled engines and 24-cylinder liquid-cooled engines.

"But the Japanese don't look down on the Fokker Zero D and FW-190T," Hersman said, "and they want a high-performance aircraft that can comprehensively overwhelm American carrier-based aircraft, repeating the myth of the invincibility of the Zero." ”

"Then let's help them with their development as much as possible." Hitler thought for a moment and said, "Or we can strike before the Americans attack, deal a heavy blow to the American navy, and force the United States to sue for peace with Japan." Marshal of the Reich, is it possible to achieve this? ”

"It is possible, but it cannot be done with the forces of the combined European fleet alone." Hersman had already had the idea that "the Japanese Combined Fleet must be involved in the operation." ”

Hitler nodded and said, "We can discuss this matter with the Japanese Prime Minister at the meeting in January next year." Marshal of the Reich, have a rough plan? ”

"There's a vision," replied Hersman, "a decisive battle in the Caribbean!" Japan sent 2 Yamato-class aircraft carriers and at least 4 fleet aircraft carriers to the Atlantic to cooperate with us, so that it was sure to annihilate several large American aircraft carriers and 2 Iowa-class. ”

Hersmann's plan was even more excessive than the originally planned "Night Battle on the Ice Sea"! But it was the only option that would force the U.S. Navy to take risks in an unfavorable situation, and still guarantee the victory of the European-Japanese coalition.

Because the biggest problem with the Caribbean operation is that the United States has already deployed shore-based aviation on numerous Caribbean islands. And in order to prepare for the attack of the European Combined Fleet, the shore-based aircraft deployed by the Americans on the islands of the Caribbean Sea are not bad. The carrier-based Fokker Zero D and FW-190T simply cannot win air battles without overwhelming numerical superiority.

"What if the Japanese refuse?" Hitler asked with a frown.

"Then we have to be ready to play for another 2-3 years!" "And we should also seriously consider helping Japan strengthen its defenses in the Hawaiian Islands...... If we could not force the United States to fight a decisive battle in the Caribbean in 1943, then by 1944 the decisive battle at sea would take place in the Hawaiian Islands. ”

Hitler nodded, as if to say something, when Stauffenberg walked in quickly, leaned over and muttered a few words in Hirschmann's ear, and Hersmann's eyebrows suddenly twisted.

"What's wrong? Imperial Marshal? Hitler noticed that something was wrong and immediately asked.

"King George VI of the United Kingdom has just delivered a speech in Washington, calling on the British people to resist to the end under the leadership of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and never surrender!" Hersman smiled, "Looks like we'll have to think about landing on British soil!" (To be continued.) )
