Chapter 366 The International Community Sanctions Germany
At the same time, Xiao Weiguo has not forgotten that it was Hitler who set off the bloody storm of World War II in history, causing the biggest catastrophe in human history. So he immediately published an article in the "Koo's Defense Weekly", condemning the illegal act of the German government to confiscate all the German subsidiaries of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex! At the same time, all peace-loving people around the world are reminded to be wary of Germany sliding into the abyss of war under the leadership of Hitler.
Indeed, at this time, Germany had completely set aside the Treaty of Versailles, and Hitler openly vigorously developed armaments.
Just after Xiao Weiguo published an article condemning Hitler and the German government, Hitler publicly tore up the Treaty of Versailles, announced the beginning of a large-scale rearmament, expanded the army to 36 divisions, and restored the army general staff during World War I. Soon after, the Ministry of Defense also underwent a large-scale reorganization, the Ministry of Defense was reorganized into the Ministry of War, and Blenburg's official rank was changed from "Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht" to "Minister of War and Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht".
With the deepening of the expansion of the armed forces, Blunburg began to carry out the transformation of the high-level command system of the armed forces, Blunburg's concept of governing the army, he believes that in the future modern warfare will guide an all-round way of thinking, the past era when only the victory or defeat of the war was decided by land wars is gone, and the Wehrmacht needs to have a leadership system that integrates the three services, in fact, it is necessary to establish a general headquarters of the three services in the real sense, instead of the current three armed forces acting separately and can only carry out superficial cooperation. But such a reform would inevitably touch the interests of Nazi upstarts like Air Force Commander-in-Chief Goering.
In Goering's view, the Air Force was an important bargaining chip in his political struggle, and it was intolerable for him to weaken the authority of the Commander-in-Chief of the services and thus strengthen the centralization of the Wehrmacht's upper echelons. There is also strong resistance to such a reform at the top level of the army, and most of the old-fashioned generals of the General Army and the General Staff are staunch supporters of the "theory of winning a land war." They said that if war broke out, only the army would be needed to solve the problem, and that the reforms of Blunburg seemed to them to be completely superfluous. Although Blenburg's reforms were not implemented due to many obstacles, on January 20, 1935, at the age of 58, Blenburg was promoted to field marshal, becoming the first person in the Wehrmacht after World War I to be awarded the rank of field marshal, reaching the pinnacle of his military career.
On February 5, 1935, Hitler summoned War Minister Brünberg. Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Friech, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, Goering, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Newright met at the Chancellery and announced to them his plans for the long-term war and his attempts to take aggressive actions against Austria and Czechoslovakia in the near future. At the conference, Blenburg, with the support of Frisch, warned that the war would be intervened by the combined forces of the Western powers, so both he and Frisch had reservations or opposition to Hitler's attempts at a war of aggression. This infuriated Hitler, who realized that Blenberg and Frisch must be removed from power as soon as possible and replaced with obedient heads of the army. Otherwise, sooner or later, the two of them will become a stumbling block for him to launch a war of aggression.
Soon. Brünberg was dismissed, and Hitler concurrently served as commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht as he wished, and now Hitler is completely a combination of party, government, and military powers, so that Hitler has become a dictator in the true sense, and the centralization of power in Germany's top leadership has been taken by Hitler all in his own hands.
Of course, the international community has long seen that Hitler was a very dangerous figure! Now not only has he become a dictator, but Germany's armaments are developing very rapidly. With the German subsidiary of Dragon Soul Ordnance, especially the technology and advanced weapons production line left by Dragon Soul Ordnance. The German army began to quickly equip itself with a wide range of advanced weapons.
For example, the Tiger Tank and the Leopard Tank, both of which are epoch-making tanks designed by the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, have very strong combat effectiveness! In addition, there are Weilong jet fighters and M40 large transport aircraft, which can also be produced at BFW, because most of the Fenglei series engines are produced in BWM, so the key technology is not stuck. Even. The M40 transport aircraft was also converted into a large long-range bomber, and Hitler put his military genius to good use.
At this time, Hitler's personal prestige had reached its peak, and this was indeed his great achievement, and he no longer had to give passionate speeches as before, but only to show his face in public. With that typical gesture, thousands of people and teenagers were already fascinated by this god-like figure. Therefore, the choice and trust and support of the Germans for the Nazis were not based on brainwashing and deception as recorded in today's so-called orthodox history. This sounds actually very funny, even if Hitler had great ability, how could he get the whole German people to support him, who could have such great ability to deceive the whole country? In fact, Hitler's performance in leading the Nazis to save Germany from the economic crisis and the tangible economic benefits received by the German people played a crucial role, because these real things are far more convincing than the propaganda.
Under the call of Xiao Weiguo's article, the international community also saw Hitler's true face, and all countries began to be wary of Germany, especially those countries adjacent to Germany, such as Austria and the Czech Republic, as well as Germany's biggest enemies, Britain and France. France, in particular, is now particularly afraid of Germany, and under such circumstances, Britain, France, and the United States proposed to hold an international conference, at which it was made clear that all countries had begun to impose economic sanctions on Germany, and all kinds of important resources were embargoed against Germany, so as to weaken Germany's military development and military strength.
The members of the Commonwealth also differed in their degree of danger of German attack, and the trapezoidal formation of the Commonwealth was very deep, stretching from the Americas on the outer edge of the German circle of fire to the forward positions within close range of German offensive weapons, which were now multiplying rapidly. In this most precarious position is the United Kingdom, whose fate determines the future of all its possessions and partners, while in the Western Hemisphere the United States is more or less far from the dangerous places in Germany than Brazil or Canada.
All the big countries have united, with the exception of Italy, Japan, of course, and a few smaller countries are on the sidelines. They all smell a kind of war, if Germany launches an attack on those small European countries, they can't withstand it, in case Britain, France, the United States and other big countries don't come to the rescue, they won't have to play it long after, so some small countries are waiting, like Romania, the Czech Republic, etc. (To be continued.) )
