Chapter 198: Strong on the outside and dry on the inside
Only under the great leadership of I, Hitler, will Germany rise, and the Germanic nation will rise, and only I, Hitler, can do all this, thought the excited Hitler. Capstone Novel
"Miss Schroeder, immediately, immediately summon the three commanders-in-chief and Goebbels and other government leaders to the high command for a meeting, quickly."
After receiving Hitler's order, several people hurried to the high command, and a total of seven people attended the meeting, namely Hitler, Keitel, Brauchitsch, Catherine and Raeder, Himmler, Goebbels, and this time, of course, how to respond to possible British retaliation.
"Marshal, let me tell you a very exciting news, our "Tiger Tiger" plan was a great success, annihilating four British aircraft carriers, seven battleships, two battle cruisers, fifteen heavy cruisers, and countless other destroyers, it can be said that the main warships of the British home fleet have almost been served by us, it is really a great victory, let's talk about how to deal with the next situation."
"Bang bang...... Long live Hitler...... Long live Germany...... Long live the Germanic peoples. ”
Several marshals now applauded this great victory from the bottom of their hearts, and of course applauded Hitler, and without Hitler's complete delegation of power in this operation, Li Mo would not have been able to carry out the earth-shattering plan of the Central Committee under any circumstances.
Hitler was very satisfied with the reverent eyes of several marshals towards him, and the effect was good, and the Wehrmacht had always fought with Hitler for control, and the relationship between the two sides was not very good. At this time within the German **, some radical officers. Because of Hitler's insistence on attacking Poland, these officers were already plotting a coup d'état, fearing that Germany would repeat the mistakes of World War I, when fighting on two fronts.
"Catherine, tell me about it!"
"My Führer, since we have destroyed the main force of the British Home Fleet by means of a surprise attack, then we must also prevent the British from retaliating against us by the same means."
When the commander-in-chief of the navy, Raeder, heard this, and hurriedly asked:
"Marshal Catherine, do you mean that England will also come to attack our fleet?"
"It doesn't have to be a sneak attack on our fleet, but it can also be a direct air attack on our Ruhr industrial area. Departure from a French airport. Out of the Maginot Line, a dive is just away, you must know that the Ruhr industrial area is concentrated in 50% of German enterprises, that is our German lifeblood. Once our Ruhr industrial area was attacked by the British and French. The consequences are unimaginable. ”
Hitler, of course, understood the importance of the Ruhr industrial region. Catherine's question is indeed worth paying attention to:
"Yes, Marshal Catherine's understanding is in place, and we must not allow England and France to take advantage of the loophole. The Ruhr industrial area is the lifeblood of our Germany, and there must be no mistakes, Marshal Catherine, after your meeting, immediately start to deploy aircraft around the Ruhr industrial area, to ensure that our Ruhr industrial area is foolproof, but do not affect the war against Poland. ”
"Yes, my Führer, although Germany still has only more than 5,000 aircraft, many of the old aircraft have been eliminated, and the air force has a refitting rate of 80 percent, which is fully capable of undertaking the two tasks of fighting Poland and protecting the Ruhr industrial area."
Hitler praised Catherine Howe without hesitation, and the first issue was to prevent a sneak attack by the British, and there were two main places to be prepared, one was the Ruhr industrial area, and the other was the German navy. As for the Navy, this is of course the responsibility of Marshal Raeder.
Jean then went on to ask the other marshals if they had any additional questions:
"My Führer, let's start a war against Poland now, in case the Anglo-French forces suddenly come out of the Maginot Line and attack the Ruhr industrial area directly, we will be in a two-front battle, Führer, do you think you can use diplomatic means to recover the Danzig Corridor?"
The radical officers who plotted the coup, mainly the army officers, even asked Brauchitsch to participate, and of course Brauchitsch sternly rejected the demands of these radical officers and gave stern warnings. Field Marshal Brauchitsch had a very high prestige in the Wehrmacht, and the commander-in-chief of the army was not preparing a coup d'état, and the others could not make any big waves.
Hitler did not create his own party army like the Soviet Union, the party army meant the army built by the party, and the party commanded the army, such as the Soviet Red Army. Hitler had no way to replace the Wehrmacht with SA or SS, but could only adopt a strategy of compromise with the Wehrmacht, although Hitler became the supreme commander of the three armies after becoming the Führer, there were always people in the German Army who wanted to rebel, and there were many disagreements with Hitler in the officer corps. Hitler could not get the Wehrmacht to listen to him like the SS, Hitler always had to deal with the Army, and the murder of Hitler in 1944 made Hitler even more distrustful of the Wehrmacht's generals. It can be said that from the establishment of Nazi Germany to its demise, Hitler and the Wehrmacht spent time in struggle, compromise, and defense.
"Slap ......" Hitler slapped the table on the table, stood up with a "whoosh", and shouted at Brauchitsch with great anger:
"You, you are a complete coward, you also participated in the formulation of the "White Plan", and now that more than a million German troops have been deployed to the German-Polish border, it is like an arrow on the string, and you have to send it, are you worried that Britain and France will declare war on us? Tell you, I'm not afraid, Germany won't be afraid, Germany's rise can only rely on our iron fist, we won't wag their tails like dogs to Britain and France and beg for mercy, you are looking at Ondet, now just a little colonel, dare to lead the German aircraft carrier battle group that has just become an army, and raid the British home fleet, which is known as the most powerful in the world, what is the result, Britain is a bunch of shit, a useless scarecrow.
Even if Britain, whose backbone has been broken by us, dares to declare war on us, will he dare to send troops to fight our invincible German Army? No, that's impossible, Britain and France will not sacrifice a single soldier for Poland, their guarantee to Poland is to fart, this is their essence.
So our attack on Poland will only put us in a two-front predicament on the surface, but the fact will not, Britain is a paper tiger that is strong in the middle, the more fierce we fight, the more enemies we annihilate, and the stronger the combat effectiveness shown, the more Britain and France dare not move, my Marshal Brauchitsch, what do you think? ”
Hitler can go from a corporal to the throne of the Führer, it is absolutely not accidental, speech, governing the country and other abilities are very prominent, even sophistry is beyond people's reach, but Hitler's political sense of smell is also very sensitive, this is really talent, Hitler's analysis of the essence of Britain and France is clear, clear, and very in place, but Hitler's half-baked military command ability is a bit flattering.
