Chapter 460: Li Tie's Preparations

In February 1941, General Rommel of Germany led the most elite German vanguard into Africa and began to intervene in the North African theater, and the Germans wanted to drive the British military presence in North Africa out of Britain in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, in order to complete the preparations for attacking Russia as soon as possible, Germany not only began to frantically plunder the strategic resources of the occupied countries.

The Germans again began to speed up the pace of occupation of the remaining small countries of Europe. Everyone could see that the Germans seemed to be preparing for greater war. But no one knows who Germany will target next.

No one in the whole world except Li Tie knew that a great war that was about to go down in history was about to begin. Hitler finally agreed to Li Tie's conditions, although he was very curious as to why Li Tie made such a strange request.

However, in Hitler's view, this was the first time he had done business with Li Tie and took a big advantage, because Li Tie gave Hitler a map of the distribution of Russian forces on the condition that it was a promise.

That is, no matter where the Germans occupy, Huaxing employees and their relatives will receive the best life protection. German soldiers must not be allowed to kill Huaxing employees at will.

When Heinrich handed over Li Tie's condition to Hitler, Hitler was so grateful that he almost didn't cry, and he was very happy that Li Tie had finally made a loss-making deal.

Although Huaxing now has employees all over the world, there are offices in European countries alone, especially the French grain conglomerate, as well as several large military enterprises jointly run by the British and French governments.

However, this point is more important than all the Russian troop deployment, and after the estimation of several important German military ministers, if the Russian military information provided by Li Tie is as accurate as the information sent by Li Tie before, then the Germans will not only greatly shorten the time to occupy Russia, but also sacrifice more than half of the soldiers, which will be at least hundreds of thousands of lives.

Thinking that Li Tie gave himself such a precious gift just by agreement, Hitler felt that he owed Li Tie too much.

Hitler didn't say a word, a Führer order was directly issued and sent to the combat units and occupied areas of all Germany, as long as they were employees of Huaxing Company, as long as there was a certificate issued by Huaxing Company, even if Huaxing's image seal was inserted on their bodies, they could not be easily killed.

After writing the Führer's order, Hitler still silently blessed Li Tie in his heart, and he believed that the reason why God sent Li Tie to him was to fulfill his great cause of achieving the Germanic nation.

To use an ancient Chinese saying, it can be well described that his friendly relationship with Li Tie is the arrangement of fate, that is, "fate." ”

While Hitler was still in Berlin, Germany, making final preparations for an all-out attack on Russia. At this time, Li Tie, who was thousands of miles away, was also preparing silently.

Li Tie was preparing to recruit troops, and he also introduced a large number of strategic materials from Germany, the United States, and other countries for storage. Don't look at the current world wars, many strategic materials are not only not long-term, but more cheap, because now in the world, except for the United States, it seems that only Huaxing's fleet is unimpeded in all countries in the world.

Now that the big war is about to start, there is not much time left for Li Tie to prepare. Fortunately, Li Tie was always able to get enough chips from the Germans.

Also at the end of February 1941, the war between China and Japan had entered the middle stage of stalemate, and there was no battle of more than 100,000 men in the whole of China, except for a few small local battles.

It was at this time that at a secret wharf at the Lingshui Naval Base on Hainan Island, 200,000 tons of Germany's latest merchant ships had just docked.

At this time, on the shore, in the office of the Lingshui Military Wharf, Li Tie, Wang Yaqiao and Li Tie's old partner German Mike were staring closely at the wharf through the office window, and 200,000 tons of huge ships were unloading in the Lingshui base.

Looking at the rapid unloading of a truckload of goods from a German merchant ship, Wang Yaqiao couldn't help but look at Li Tie beside him with admiration: "Brother-in-law, there are not many people who can admire Wang Yaqiao in my life, and you are indeed the one I admire the most."

It's this strangely shaped ship, because they have a way to load and unload goods quickly that other merchant ships don't have, and they can sell you for a whole twenty ships of strategic materials.

And there are ten ships of the most valuable munitions here, and I really don't understand why the German Führer is so willing to be the head of the wrongs. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to exchange a shipload of munitions for a broken blueprint with you. ”

"Big brother, you are also a talented person in the former Qing Dynasty, and it stands to reason that your culture is also very large, but why do you disrespect technology like this?

If we Chinese respect technical personnel, we would have dominated the world as early as the Song Dynasty. It will not be that the Song and Ming dynasties twice let the ethnic minorities be bullied. There will be no such thing as the Eight-Nation Alliance entering Beijing in the last years of the Qing Dynasty.

Where am I selling a piece of paper? It was the design of the latest type of sea vessel, which not only loaded a lot of cargo, but also ran fast. This is the test plan of the world's newest seaborne cargo ship.

In many countries where the sea is dominant, this drawing is a treasure. It was for the sake of my friends that I exchanged twenty ships of goods with Hitler, and if I sold them to Britain or the United States, and did not want their goods of a hundred ships, I would not have made a move. Li Tie pouted and said.

At that time, if people of later generations also crossed here and saw these so-called latest sea ships, they would definitely recognize that these ships were actually converted from ro-ro ships of later generations. It's just that in order to be more suitable for ocean-going navigation, Li Tie designed these ro-ro ships to be larger and shorter.

"Come on, you can brag, these twenty ships of cargo may not be how you deceived them, I don't believe that Hitler is so stupid, a broken ship with no combat effectiveness will be worth so much money?" Wang Yaqiao retorted disdainfully.

"Alas! Otherwise, he is the supreme head of Germany, and you can only be a governor of my Hainan Island. This is the vision and wisdom of a great man, and how can you, a layman, understand?

You must know that in the past, merchant ships and cargo ships had to use a lot of manpower and material resources to load and unload goods, and it was a waste of time.

The latest cargo ships I designed are different in that they can carry more cargo and travel three points faster at sea than previous ships.

The most important thing is that these ships can go directly to any pier with a deep enough draft, and they do not need to be close to the dock, let alone a large number of dock workers to unload their cargo, they can dock with any dock through a long gangplank. Then various vehicles drove directly out of the ship to deliver important supplies to the designated location.

With this feature, the requirements on the dock for such large vessels are minimized, and the speed of loading and unloading is increased by more than ten times. In this way, the throughput of the terminal has increased tenfold.

Just imagine, a small wharf that unloads 10,000 tons per day is suddenly raised to a large wharf standard of 100,000 tons per day. So how much of a benefit would it be for some countries that make a living from the docks?

Just like now, I also want to unload the cargo of these 200,000-ton giant ships, and it was impossible to unload all the goods in ten days and half a month in the past, but now, as long as it takes two days, basically all the goods can be unloaded.

You must know that it is a time of war, and the dock is a key place for enemy planes to take care of, not to mention staying for more than ten days, it is very dangerous to stay for one more day.

With this latest type of cargo ship, whether it is Britain or Germany, they can make full use of the characteristics of this kind of ship, greatly reducing the risk of being discovered by the other party.

In particular, I designed a transport ship that could be loaded and unloaded at night, and with this kind of ship, the Germans' war supplies would be greatly improved, which was a treasure for the Germans, who had always valued efficiency.

Now that I have only asked for twenty ships of their arms, it is already a very merciful thing, and the Germans have robbed several countries of arms in Europe, and they Germans do not look down on those arms, so it is better to cheapen me than let them go back and do it again.

Big brother, as I said, by the end of this year, we must have enough arms to arm more than a million people. Otherwise, we would have missed out on everything. Li Tie suddenly reminded.

"Good brother-in-law, do you and your eldest brother get to the bottom of it? What the hell are you doing with so many arms, I said you want to dominate the world, you say you are not interested, I say you want to be the king and dominate, you say you are too tired and don't care.

But you don't want to be the king and hegemon, and you don't want to unify China, so why do you have so many weapons? Don't say that you want to save more arms and make a fortune, the arms you gave to Commander Jiang for nothing are enough to arm hundreds of thousands of people. So you can't fool me on that ground.

And I've seen what Mike wrote about the various strategic items that China will receive in the next year, and I won't say anything else, just arms, not to mention arming a million people, I think two million people are enough.

I know that you have a lot of armed forces all over China, but I have calculated that there are only 500,000 people who can really obey our orders.

Even if you add up all the militias trained in Southeast Asian countries and places, it will only be a million people, but you will have to prepare two million men.

If you want to sweep through China, you don't need two million people at all, and now the strength of the national army has been greatly damaged, and the local warlords have a very good relationship with our Huaxing. If the Japanese had not stopped us, our 500,000 men would have been enough to compete with Commander Chiang. ”

Wang Yaqiao looked at his brother-in-law seriously, if it weren't for the Thousand Tails Scorpion's strong guarantee, Li Tie would not have the intention of dominating the world, and the Thousand Tails Scorpion has always regarded herself as her own father, so she would not deceive herself in such a major matter.

Wang Yaqiao now thinks that Li Tie is simply a demon, and he is only thirty years old, but now he is becoming more and more unable to see through Li Tie's thoughts.

He just found that the current Huaxing stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more troops in his hands, but so many troops don't fight the Japanese devils, and they do train non-stop every day, and he can't understand a lot of training.

Especially taking the Huaxing First Army led by himself, which is also the Huaxing Special Operations Army, as an example, what infantry and tank coordinated operations, what decapitation tactics, what frog jumping tactics, and what air-ground integration.

In short, Wang Yaqiao felt that Li Tie's requirements for soldiers were not to deal with the national army or the Japanese army at all, but to deal with the heavenly soldiers and generals. Because Li Tie's tactical training not only has a novel name, but the content is also written by Li Tie himself.

Not only did he not understand many of the training subjects, but even Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai in the Huaxing Guards and several generals who could fight well could not understand Li Tie's true intentions.

However, after these unbelievable military training, everyone recognized that the combat effectiveness of the various units of the Huaxing Guard Army had indeed grown rapidly.
