728 Stalin Assault VIII Hitler's ambitions
"Mr. Goering, I know very well the defense of Leningrad, the Kronstadt fortress is the best defended coastal fortress in the world, and we cannot use our precious battleships to fight against this fortress! So, we don't need to concentrate six 40,000-ton battleships in the Borough Sea at all. Luo Yaoguo shook his head and bluntly rejected Goering's proposal.
At this time, the big fat man Goering still held a glass of wine with a spring breeze on his face, and continued to persuade Admiral Raeder. He patted Luo Yaoguo's shoulder as if he was meeting an old friend, and said with a smile: "Marshal Luo! This is the time to indulge in German wine and food! Military issues, you can talk about them later, you can stay in Berchtesgaden for a few days if you want, you have time to discuss this war and post-war issues with the Führer...... As long as the German Empire, the Republic of China and the Kingdom of Italy can unite, we will be the masters of the whole world! Not only will the Soviet Union be destroyed by us, but even several other old empires will not be our opponents either! Long live the friendship between China and Germany and Italy! Long live Hitler! Long live President Rowe! "This fat man is obviously a little too drunk. The smell of wine and saliva in his mouth sprayed on Luo Yaoguo's face.
Hitler was really thinking about a war with Britain! Luo Yaoguo thought: "But now you can't just promise the other party, at least you can't promise Goering, and it's not just the same topic of how many benefits." It's about how big the German ambitions reached! To what extent did Hitler's madness go, and if he didn't understand these issues, he couldn't just get on the Führer's thief ship. ”
Luo Yaoguo listened to the fat man's words with a smile, and only smiled politely: "Mr. Goering, I think the countries that jointly dominate the world are not only China and Germany...... And Italy, right? Bolan is also our loyal ally, the initiator of this "Anti-GC International Alliance", the British Empire, the French Empire and the United States are also powerful countries, and the world must have their share, right? Even the Russian Empire was a great country and deserved her place in the post-war world! Mr. Goering, don't you say? ”
He spoke in an unconventionally soft tone, but it gave the fat man a soft nail. Goering froze there. He was ordered by Hitler to find out what was going on in Luo Yaoguo, and Hitler told him: "The demise of the Soviet Union is beyond doubt. We now have to think about the future, and also settle accounts with France! I suppose that Britain will join France in going to war with us. To deal with the British Navy. I want battleships for the Chinese. I want them to join the war against Britain and France, and send battleships to Europe to fight alongside the German navy! Goring. Go get it for me! They can agree to whatever they want. French Indochina, Burma, British Malaya, Dutch East Indies, and even India...... As long as they are willing to join the German side, send me the battleship into the English Channel and shoot at the British! All of Asia is theirs! ”
But Luo Yaoguo's current attitude is polite with a little cold refusal. The chief of the Chinese General Staff, it seems, has no interest in the legacy of the British and French Empires! Maybe it's because I don't know how to speak, and the other party doesn't understand what I mean? Or is his status insufficient...... Maybe the Führer should go and talk to him personally? Goering picked up a bottle of champagne, walked to Luo Yaoguo's side with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Dear marshal, our head of state wants to discuss with you the direction of the future world. And it's a one-on-one meeting! Please come with me. ”
……
In the office of the Hitler Si Man Villa in Berchtesgaden. Luo Yaoguo held a cup of German bitter coffee, and sat opposite the Führer, barely squeezing out a spring breeze smile on his face, pretending to like he liked to listen to the Führer's speech.
"Mr. Marshal, it seems that you have not yet fully understood what a hostile environment our alliance is in. Although the USSR will face defeat in the near future...... But this does not mean a real victory! I know Britain and France, two embarrassed countries that will never allow Germany and China to rise as the world's leading powers! "Adolf. Hitler shook his fists vigorously and screamed: "I know! I know! They will definitely do everything they can to destroy our two great nations! Maybe it is to destroy you and me from the **, so that our two countries will lose their direction and lose their future! It's the most despicable and shameless way to do it, but given our vigilance, it's not easy to do.
…… It is also possible to form an alliance to blockade Germany and China, as with Napoleon! This is the usual measure of the British, but it is completely useless, because the Soviet Union has been conquered by our two countries, and her resources and land can provide everything we want! However, the British and French navies were still strong, and the Strait of Malacca, the Suez Canal, Gibraltar, and the English Channel would be blocked by their navies. There was no way for the German navy and the Chinese navy to unite and break the British Empire's maritime superiority!
So the best thing to do is to send all four battleships of the Chinese Navy to Europe in the name of attacking Leningrad, plus two German battleships and three aircraft carriers...... If necessary, we will be able to use them to crush the British home fleet! As long as the British home fleet is crushed, Britain will surrender and we will get everything we want! And you, China, can once again become the hegemon of Asia. We in Germany are the masters of Europe! ”
Luo Yaoguo frowned and smiled a little embarrassed, Hitler's plan was undoubtedly another carefully calculated gamble! Before Germany was in a state of war with Britain and France, the six battleships of the Chinese and German navies were concentrated against the capital ships of the British navy. Although the total tonnage of capital ships owned by the British Navy is much greater than that of the six "Zhenyuan" class combined. The former is 558,950 tons, while the latter is only 240,000 tons. But when it comes to a real fight, it's hard to estimate the winner! Because the six battleships on the Chinese and German sides were all new ships launched in the 30s, and all exceeded the limits of the Washington Naval Treaty in terms of tonnage, they had better protection and firepower.
Except for the Hood, which has a large tonnage of more than 40,000 tons, and the two Nelson-class ships are 38,000 tons, the rest are some battleships of more than 20,000 tons, and their speed, firepower, and protection are much worse than the six Zhenyuan-class! What's more, the task of the British Navy is to dominate the world, not to watch the gate, and it is impossible for them to concentrate more than twenty capital ships on their doorstep! So as soon as the war starts, the British will most likely be forced to use 10-15 capital ships against the six super-battleships of China and Germany!
In this way, even without taking into account the current German lead in aviation technology. Relying solely on the decisive battle of the main fleet, the Chinese and German navies are not without a little certainty. And even if it was an unfortunate failure. China can still rely on a strong naval aviation to maintain maritime superiority in the South China Sea. So this proposal is completely feasible.
Although he had already approved this proposal in his heart, Luo Yaoguo's face was becoming more and more solemn at this time. He seemed to be unconsciously tapping on the arm of his chair. Said slowly: "My Führer...... Now the war with the Soviet Union has not yet been won, and the main enemy we have to face is still the Soviet Union! If we now concentrate the battleships of the two countries in the Borough Sea, then what will Britain and France think? Will they change their stance in favor of us and switch to an alliance with the Soviet Union? If that's the case, we're going to have the biggest difficulties in our business! I think it would be extremely irrational to be at war with Britain, France, and the Soviet Union at the same time. ”
Hitler, however, sighed softly and waved his hand indifferently: "Mr. Marshal, I am well aware of your concerns. But I have a way to get your warship to the sea of Boro without stabbing the British and French. ”
"Your solution is ......," Luo Yaoguo asked with a frown.
"I think you know that the Soviets are about to attack Bolan, right?" Hitler's eyes suddenly flashed with a very strange light. He chuckled, "Our Bolan friends are arrogant and think they can defeat the Soviets' attack, but I know it's impossible, and I'm sure you think so too?" ”
Luo Yaoguo nodded slightly and did not speak. He also felt very strange about the self-confidence of the Bolan people for no reason and the habit of thinking about problems out of reality. Although the industrial strength of the Soviet Union is not as good as that of China and Germany, it still far exceeds Bolan, and the population of the Soviet Union is several times that of Bolan, and Bolan is a plain country, and there is no danger to defend at all. How could they think that they would definitely be able to defeat the USSR? Even Natalie, who has always been more reasonable, actually thinks so!
Hitler paused for a moment, looked at Luo Yaoguo's reaction, saw him nod in agreement, and continued: "To tell you the truth, my representative has met with Stalin secretly during this time. And I have reached some agreement with that gc-ist tsar, and I will acquiesce in his destruction of Bolan! An ally of the Western world is facing destruction, and Germany is not saved...... Only China sent reinforcements from thousands of miles away, and of course two battleships! What do you think Britain and France would do in such a situation? Because you sent two battleships, did you make an alliance with the USSR? Let the Soviet Union destroy Bolan, and then cooperate with the Soviet Union to destroy Germany! And then they themselves went to fight with the USSR? If Britain and France had such courage, they would have eliminated the USSR long ago! It was a breeze in '20 or '21. Britain will only concentrate her navy scattered all over the world and mobilize it to the mainland to watch us, and France may build the Maginot Line to the sea! Other than that, they won't do anything. ”
Luo Yaoguo seemed to hesitate for a moment, shrugged his shoulders a little sleepily and said, "But do you really plan to let Bo Lan be eliminated by Stalin like this?" Without her two million to three million troops, our army would be close to the Soviet Union. So that our war to destroy the USSR will not ......"
Hitler gritted his teeth and sneered: "Bolan will not perish, just not so strong!" As Germany marches westward to compete with Britain and France for world supremacy, I don't want a mighty Bolan to be watched behind my back! ”
"I see." Luo Yaoguo's face was still a little heavy. "Then after we destroy the Soviet Union, I'm afraid we will use six capital ships to have a decisive battle at sea with more than 20 capital ships owned by the entire British Empire, right?"
Hitler thought for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, six capital ships against twenty capital ships!" But Admiral Raeder thinks we will win the naval battle, because we have more advanced aircraft and more powerful aircraft carriers than the British! Raeder believes that in future naval battles, it will be the aircraft and aircraft carriers that will really play a decisive role, and that the theory that battleships and aircraft carriers will jointly dominate the seas is completely fallacious. So those battleships were just bait used to seduce the British home fleet...... As long as they are willing to come out, the German planes can blow them all up! The Führer began to wave his fists again and screamed loudly: "Blow up! Blow up and sink! All of them are blown up! ”
Luo Yaoguo nodded lightly. Probably the reason why I had too many battleships and was reluctant to abandon them. The so-called "theory of joint domination of the seas by battleships and aircraft carriers" has quite a market in Britain and the United States, two major naval powers with many battleships, and France and Italy also believe in this set of theories. According to this theory, battleships were as important a naval weapon as aircraft carriers. Only when these two weapons are used in conjunction with each other can we finally win sea supremacy. But he really fought a sea and air war. China, Germany (who participated as a military adviser), Japan, who understood how vulnerable battleships were under the blow of aircraft, did not believe in this theory at all.
"Okay. I can bring the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan to Europe, and I can also participate in the war against Britain and France. Luo Yaoguo raised his eyes and looked at Hitler. So what can China gain after victory? ”
"Asia! The power to act freely throughout Asia. "Hitler waved those two stiff arms that stretched straight." Germany did not have any interest in the territory of Asia. It is China's natural power to become the hegemon of Asia! The German Reich was fully in favor. ”
"If Britain and France are defeated and surrender. Germany must agree to hand over the Asian colonies they own to China! Luo Yaoguo looked directly at Hitler's blue-gray eyes, and almost word by word said his request.
"Okay, no problem, I can sign the agreement with you on behalf of Germany now." Hitler promised unequivocally.
"Also, Germany cannot declare war on the United States on its own under any circumstances!"
"What? Not taking the initiative to declare war on the United States? Hitler was stunned and asked, "Why did I do that?" Marshal, do you think it is necessary for us in Germany to go to war with the United States? ”
"What if the United States supports Britain and France in fighting us to the end?" Luo Yaoguo said: "Even after the British and French mainland was occupied by Germany, the United States would support the British and French governments that had retreated to the colonies to continue to resist!" ”
Hitler hesitated, a little sleepy. Shrugged his shoulders impatiently and said, "I can't imagine why the United States would do this?" Wouldn't it be good for Germany, China, and the United States to rule the world together? Why don't they annex Canada and Australia, so that the United States will become one of the largest countries in the world and the true successor of the Anglo-Saxon world empire. ”
Luo Yaoguo smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, I can't figure out why the United States would do that, but my intuition tells me that this situation is very likely to happen." So I would like to get your assurances that if Germany wants to go to war with the United States, it must first obtain China's consent! Otherwise, China will reconsider its position. ”
"Okay." Hitler frowned, and a trace of dissatisfaction flowed from his eyes, "That's it, Germany will not take the initiative to declare war on the United States without China's consent!" That's okay, right? ”
……
When I left Hitler's Villa, it was snowing outside. Goering stopped at the door and shook hands with the guests. Luo Yaoguo came out with the Russian Empress Anastasia at this time. He was dressed in a marshal's uniform and a tweed coat on the outside. The Empress was dressed in a thin velvet evening gown, with silk gloves on her hands and mink shawls over her fragrant shoulders. She took Luo Yaoguo's arm, left the villa in the light of snowflakes, and got into a Maybach sedan with a yellow and black flag that had been waiting for a long time.
"Fuwen, where's your Natalie? I remember she coming with you to the dinner. The empress looked around, but she didn't see the Bo Lan beauty, and sneered: "Could it be because of me, you ......"
Luo Yaoguo glanced at the empress angrily. "She walked away with Marshal Shimigvi, and I asked her to persuade this old stubborn one last time, that they can't fight like that...... You can't put 750,000 troops on the east bank of the Bouag River, that would be looking for death! The only feasible way was to concentrate the 1.25 million troops on both sides of the Bouag River to hold the river, and at the same time build a strong defensive line on the outskirts of Warsaw. Stalin did not have much time, as long as Warsaw could hold on for a month or two, the Soviet Red Army would have to retreat. ”
"Hmph, you really 'love the house, even the birds in the house'." The empress said in clumsy Chinese.
"Hehe, it's Aiwu and Wu, right?" Luo Yaoguo smiled bitterly: "I really don't want Natalie to be sad, how sad she should be if Bolan perishes!" ”
"What about me? If Russia were to perish, I, the Empress, would not be able to live. The Empress flattened her mouth and muttered.
Luo Yaoguo frowned and shook his head slightly: "Russia will not perish, because Hitler is about to start a war with Britain and France after defeating the Soviet Union, and he needs a stable rear, so he will not move Russia." But I'm afraid you'll have to support Hitler in the next war! ”
"Will Russia also follow Hitler's declaration of war on Britain and France?" The empress frowned, and her face sank suddenly.
"Yes, only then can your empire survive."!".
