However, Britain and France did not want to really come to Finland's aid, their real aim was to take the opportunity to bring under their control the important natural mineral deposits of the Nordic countries, so that Germany could not obtain the much-needed resources for the war effort. As a result, the British planned to send an expeditionary force to northern Norway, because if they captured the Norwegian coastal ports, they could cut off the German passage for iron ore, nickel and other strategic minerals from Sweden. Winston, who was the British Admiralty Chancellor at the time? Churchill bluntly stated: "If the Allies occupy the port city of Narvik in northern Norway, it will not be difficult to prevent German ships from loading ore there, and the Allied fleet will be able to sail into Germany along Norwegian waters without hindrance." ”

At the same time, the allies also decided to strike directly at the southern part of the Soviet Union, planning to bomb Baku, the oil-producing area of the Soviet Union, in order to prevent the shipment of Caspian oil from the Soviet Union to Germany. In addition, Britain and France are ready to take control of the Black Sea straits and oil fields in Romania.

On December 31, 1939, British General Butler arrived in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, to discuss military cooperation with the Turkish side, mainly to allow Britain to use the airports and ports in eastern Turkey to launch a war of aggression against the Soviet Union. On January 15, 1940, the Secretary General of the French Foreign Office, Liere, informed the U.S. Ambassador to France, William Brown, that the U.S. ambassador to France. Britt: French Prime Minister Daladier proposed to send a fleet to the Black Sea, block Soviet lines of communication, and shell the Soviet Black Sea port city of Batumi, inflicting air strikes on oil wells in Baku. Clearly, the purpose of these French actions was not just to prevent oil from the Soviet Union to Germany. "France will not break off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union or formally declare war on the Soviet Union, but France can use artillery if necessary to destroy the Soviet Union," Liere claimed. ”

On January 24, 1940, General Allenside, Chief of the General Staff of the British Army, presented a memorandum entitled "The Main Strategy of the War" to the British Wartime Cabinet, in which he stated: "I believe that we can only effectively assist Finland by attacking the Soviet Union from all directions as much as possible, especially by attacking the oil-producing areas of Baku, and causing a serious economic crisis for the Soviet Union." ”

On 3 February, the French General Staff gave an order to General Junot, commander of the French Air Force in Syria, to prepare for an air attack on Baku.

On February 7, a British wartime cabinet meeting discussed the plan to bomb the Soviet oil fields, and the meeting concluded that the successful implementation of this plan could deal a heavy blow to the Soviet economy, including agriculture. In order to attack Baku, Britain dispatched several groups of the latest "Blenheim" MK.4 bombers to the Middle East.

On 8 March, the Committee of Chiefs of Staff of the British Army submitted a report to the Government entitled "The Consequences of Military Operations Against the Soviet Union in 1940". The report predetermined three main directions for the offensive against the USSR: the northern regions of the USSR (Petsamo, Murmansk and Arkhangelsk), the Far East and the Caucasus in the south. The last of these directions is considered the most important. The report emphasizes that "the most vulnerable targets in the Caucasus are the oil-producing regions of Baku, Grozny and Batumi." The report also urged the British Navy to participate in the war against the Soviet Union, because "the bombing of oil refineries or port facilities in Batumi and Tuapse by British aircraft carriers in the Black Sea would be a very useful addition to air strikes in the Caucasus and could collapse the Soviet defense system more quickly." ”

In parallel with the development of a plan for operations against the Soviet Union, the British Air Force conducted a series of reconnaissance flights over Soviet territory. Beginning at the end of March, the British Air Force adopted the latest US-made "Lockheed-12А" high-speed reconnaissance plane (equipped with three high-resolution cameras) to frequently take off from the Habbaniah airfield near Baghdad, Iraq, and go deep into Soviet airspace to conduct reconnaissance. Soon, the details of such important strategic targets as the oil fields in Baku, the refineries in Batumi were in the hands of the British. During this period, Soviet anti-aircraft guns fired twice at British reconnaissance aircraft, firing 34 rounds of 76 mm caliber shells, but they did not hit. Subsequently, the Allied command set the date for the first bombardment of Baku as May 15, 1940, and the shadow of war quickly approached the Soviet Union.

However, just as Britain and France were preparing for war against the Soviet Union in a step-by-step manner, the situation changed. Soviet intelligence officers informed Moscow in time of the Allied war plans. Faced with the threat of war, Stalin was determined to "entertain" Allied planes in the skies over Baku. The Soviet command quickly adjusted its strategic deployment, concentrating a third of the entire Soviet anti-aircraft fire and hundreds of fighters in the Baku area. At the same time, the Soviets were intensively preparing for a counterattack. Stalin chose British military bases in the Middle East and North Africa as the target of the counterattack, and he planned to send six long-range bomber regiments, totaling more than 350 long-range bombers, to carry out surprise attacks.

According to the plan, the Soviet bombers were divided into two groups, the first of which was to take off from the Crimean Peninsula and attack British bases in Cyprus and Palestine, as well as French targets in Syria. The second group in Armenia will be the decisive striking force, they will attack the British Mediterranean Fleet in Egypt and blow up the Suez Canal gates, completely blocking British shipping.

As May 15 approached, the Soviet units were already in full position, and as soon as they spotted the enemy planes attacking, the Soviet bombers would take off...... However, Hitler, the leader of the German Nazis, completely disrupted the plans of both sides. On 10 May, the Germans turned to the offensive on the Western Front and inflicted heavy losses on the Anglo-French forces. In the face of the fierce attack of the German army, the anxious heads of Britain and France had long since put aside the plan to attack the Soviet Union, so that a war carefully planned by Britain and France was finally terminated five days before the outbreak of the war.

Zhang Jun analyzed this historical event in his mind and came to several conclusions: First, Britain and France and the Soviet Union are absolutely not of the same mind, and if the Soviet Union and Britain and France cooperate because of some powerful external factors, it will also be a short-term cooperation that looks like a god, and once the powerful external factors are lifted, the Soviet Union and Britain and France will become mortal enemies again.

Second, Britain and France actually paid lip service to Finland, but in fact wanted to occupy Norway. To cut off Germany's access to iron ore from Sweden in order to control Germany's war potential, we must know that Germany's own iron ore production cannot meet 50 percent of its own needs, and the remaining 50 percent depends on imports, and the vast majority of the source of imports is Sweden, and the channel is Norway, once the conspiracy of Britain and France really succeeds, it will greatly limit Germany's war potential.

According to the plan of the "White Plan", Hitler put the time of attacking Poland on September 1, and the Soviet Union attacked Poland on September 17, just two months and three days later, the "Soviet-Finnish Winter War" began.

Once Germany starts a war against Poland, Britain and France will definitely declare war on Germany, Germany can now launch a diplomatic offensive and take the initiative to show goodwill to Britain and France, and even Germany can make a clear commitment to Britain and France, Germany took Poland only to attack the Soviet Union, Britain and France will definitely declare war because of the treaty with Poland, if Britain and France believe or somewhat believe in Germany's promises, although they have declared war on Germany and will mobilize large armies to gather on the Maginot Line, they will not take the initiative to attack Germany, Because there were many people in the British and French governments who wanted Germany to bring the war to the Soviet Union.

Historically, Germany did not negotiate peace with Britain and France, and when Germany attacked Poland, Britain and France mobilized 110 divisions to attack Germany in the case of the Maginot Line in France, so as to reduce the pressure on Poland.

As long as Hitler's diplomatic offensive can make Britain and France hesitate for two months, Germany's strategic plan will be successful, and Germany can contract the Soviet Union to carve up Poland in a very short period of time, and as soon as the Soviet Union attacks Finland, Germany's opportunity will come, and take the initiative to send an olive branch to Britain and France, and negotiate with Britain and France, Germany is willing to be a pawn in attacking the Soviet Union, but Britain and France want to give Germany substantial help, as for to what extent, it depends on the diplomatic skills of the great Führer.

"Hey...... Hey hey ......"

When Zhang Jun thought of this, he couldn't help but happily "laugh" up, even the great head of state was "laughed" by Zhang Jun so cold that his hair stood on end, Hitler thought that his little radish was not hysterical, and hurriedly ran to Zhang Jun's side, gently stroked Zhang Jun's back, and said softly:

"My little radish head, what's wrong, it doesn't matter......"

"Oh, ahem...... My Führer, it's all right, I'm really sorry, I've thought of a solution, great Führer, you come here. ”

Zhang Jun and Hitler came to the huge military map, and Zhang Jun began to tell Hitler the plan he had thought of before, and Hitler nodded again and again, and kept praising his little radish head as a war genius.

Zhang Jun's plan can be briefly summarized into several steps, the first step: diplomacy with Britain and France, promises and guarantees, the second step: uniting with the Soviet Union and carving up Poland, and the third step: .......

If it develops according to Zhang Jun's prediction, Germany will not fight alone, of course, Britain and France may only shout slogans, and the offensive in other directions may also be symbolic, but it can share some of the pressure on Germany and disperse some of the forces of the Soviet Union, and at the same time there is no need to worry about Britain and France checking their knives from behind, at least Britain and France will not blockade Germany, so that Germany has no industrial raw materials. Of course, Britain and France will also leave a large number of troops outside the Maginot Line, just in case.

Since Hitler accepted Zhang Jun's suggestion, of course, he would follow the steps designed by Zhang Jun, and of course it was Hitler's business to visit Britain and France, and Zhang Jun's job was to organize the production and research and development of German weapons, and the SS training had Rommel, so Zhang Jun did not have to worry.

As the head of the German armament department, it is still appropriate to go down to the Wehrmacht to inspect weapons and equipment, Zhang Jun must understand the reaction of the soldiers to the cottage 56 type and other weapons, until now the German Wehrmacht's refitting work is basically over, at least the light weapons are reloaded, and there is no way to do this, the Wehrmacht is still the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks, and the Wehrmacht does not want to purchase a large number of copycat 99 type, and when Zhang Jun is equipped in large quantities, he wants to change the cottage 99 type, how can this arms procurement be changed for exchange, Germany didn't have much of a resource to waste on the Wehrmacht's stubborn old men. Saying that Krupp's production this year is basically to the SS, does Zhang Jun want to give them his own tanks? Of course, it is impossible, for this reason, Zhang Jun was scolded by those stubborn old men of the Wehrmacht.
