The Tang Empire unilaterally ceased war with the Soviet Union and occupied the Far East, which annoyed Germany so much that it protested to the Tang Empire with Italy.

However, the Tang Empire did not care, and Zhang Meng made clear in a phone call with Hitler that the Tang army had captured millions of square kilometers of land and now wanted to consolidate its rule in those places. The Tang army had limited troops, and it was impossible to expand the war any longer.

Although Hitler was reluctant, he was able to get Zhang Meng's promise. The Tang Empire no longer intervened in the war in Europe, and the rest of Europe and the Soviet Union were occupied by Germany and Italy, and the Tang Empire no longer intervened militarily, and continued to provide Germany and Italy with various weapons and equipment and strategic materials such as oil exports.

Whether it was Hitler or Zhang Meng, they all understood that after the partition of Shijie, Tang, Germany and Italy may not be allies, and it is possible that war may break out and become enemies. Therefore, the Tang Empire accepted it at this time, in fact, it was also guarding against Germany and Italy.

The navy of the Tang Empire pushed all the way sideways, and seized the various colonial strongholds and the Suez Canal occupied by Britain in the past on the Shijie sea communication line, and will build powerful fortifications there, and deploy the three armies of the sea, land and air forces Liliang, once the Tang, Germany and Italy Triple Alliance breaks down in the future, the Tang Empire will control the entire Shijie sea communication line, and have the capital to compete with the German army, and will even be stronger than Britain and encircle Germany more thoroughly.

Hitler also attached great importance to the construction of the navy at first, but when the German army swept across the European continent and occupied LinkedIn, Hitler suspended the huge naval project due to the shortage of steel resources, and transferred the steel to the army to make tanks and artillery.

The Tang Empire captured the entire main fleet of the French Navy overnight. This irritated Hitler and upset him. When the Tang Empire repeats its old tricks, it is another night time to pocket the entire main fleet of the British Royal Navy. That's a few hundred warships, enough for any country to become a global maritime hegemon overnight, not to mention that the Datang Imperial Navy is already very powerful, after absorbing the main forces of the British and French fleets, the Datang Imperial Navy has become a global maritime hegemon, and even the U.S. Navy does not dare to match it.

Hitler was greatly stimulated when the news of a unilateral truce between the Tang Empire and the Soviet Union came. Knowing that the Tang Empire had acquired millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East without firing a single shot, Hitler thoroughly understood that the Tang Empire was preparing for the next war, whether Germany defeated the Soviet Union. Or if the Soviet Union defeats Germany, the Tang Empire will be invincible and prepare for the next war in advance.

Hitler immediately summoned a meeting of the senior German admirals, and the rebuilding of the German High Seas Fleet was put on the agenda. Moreover, Hitler instructed the German Navy to be quickly prepared. Because the Tang Empire is likely to stop exporting high-performance military steel and other strategic materials to Germany. Until then, the German Navy was to build up as much as possible and rebuild the High Seas Fleet.

At this time, the German Navy had only 2 old battle cruisers of the Scharnhotes class, 3 pocket battleships of the Spee-class class, 3 heavy cruisers of the Hipper-class class, 5 light cruisers, and 22 Z-series destroyers. 245 submarines. Two Bismarck-class battleships under construction, and other warship projects were halted due to the transfer of steel to the Army. Meantime. It was also because there were too few shipyards and dockyards in Germany that could build large warships, and most of the docks were crowded by submarines and destroyers, so it was impossible to start more large warships at the same time.

As Hitler attached great importance to the German Navy, the German Navy finally ushered in a real spring, and they received up to 160 billion German marks in financial support, equivalent to about 8.5 billion Tang Yuan or US dollars, this huge amount of money came from the German plundering of European countries on the one hand, especially the looting of Britain made the German army gain a huge harvest. On the other hand, the Germans massacred the Jews and seized their property.

It can be said that the German army's war machine can run quickly, mainly based on the plundering of the whole of Europe, and the financial resources of the whole of Europe are used to maintain the operation of the German army, which is very terrifying and terrifying.

The German Navy, which received huge financial support, quickly restored the revival of the High Seas Fleet, and they will complete 8 large aircraft carriers, 8 super battleships, 12 P-class pocket battleships, 4 O-class battlecruisers, another 5 heavy cruisers, 44 light cruisers of various types, 68 destroyers of various types, 90 torpedo boats of various types, and 249 submarines of various types in the next 18 to 24 months.

Although the funds for such a huge naval shipbuilding have been in place, there are still two problems, one is a large number of shipbuilding docks and shipbuilding workers, which with the German occupation of most of Europe, the French and British shipyards and workers obtained enough support. The second problem is the large amount of steel needed, Germany and France can only provide a quarter, Britain was bombed by the Luftwaffe before the fall, causing British steel factories to be paralyzed, unable to resume production in a short time, so the remaining steel shortfall has to be imported from the Tang Empire.

Fortunately, the steel production capacity of the Tang Empire at this time is extremely huge, with an annual production capacity of 30 million tons, and its own steel demand is not much, especially the Tang Empire has obtained hundreds of warships from the main fleets of the British and French navies, and many local ships have been cancelled.

In addition to Germany and Italy, the Tang Empire also exported steel to China, and even exported steel to the Soviet Union through the Far East Passage. The Tang Empire has always been doing business while fighting, grabbing the maximum profits.

Germany wants to import steel materials on a large scale, the Tang Empire did not set up blocks, except for some secret special steel models that are prohibited from exporting, such as TP90 aircraft carrier deck special steel, TP202 battleship protection special steel, TP203 submarine deep diving special steel, etc. are listed as top secret, prohibited from exporting to any country, and other steel materials are not restricted, and continue to export to earn foreign exchange.

The German Navy was able to import steel materials from the Tang Empire on a large scale, and the revival of the High Seas Fleet was quickly launched.

The entire German-occupied zone of Europe suddenly set off a huge ship-building frenzy, hundreds of warships laid keels on the slipway, and a European sea monster was about to wake up.

These things naturally can't be hidden from the Tang Empire, but Zhang Meng is not worried, but happy, obviously the German Navy still invests a relatively large proportion of funds in battleships, and the number of aircraft carriers is not large, so there is nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, the steel needed for Germany's large-scale ship construction was imported from the Tang Empire, so that the steel of the Tang Empire could continue to expand production, and there were good buyers who could make a lot of money, otherwise Zhang Meng was considering reducing the production of domestic steel factories, so that the best of both worlds.
