Chapter 18: Post-War Matters (I)
For Zhang Shixin, everything that happens in the war, whether it is during the war or after the war, depends more on the outcome of the war.
Of course, for a certain Manchu court that created an unprecedented record of "winning without victory, losing without defeat", and still did not have the slightest sense of crisis, what kind of result did the war become, and in the end they were all that virtue.
Regardless of the matter of the Sino-French Vietnam War.
The Battle of Yaksa alone led to the so-called Treaty of Nebuchu, which in fact falls into such a category.
In Zhang Shixin's eyes, love Xinjueluo? Xuan Ye can completely expand his sphere of influence to Eastern Siberia, and even those "deserted" areas of Alaska. But the Kangxi Emperor, who created the so-called prosperous era of Kangqian and was boasted as the "Emperor of the Ages" by Qing fans, completely treated such a victory result with a gatekeeper attitude.
Zhang Shixin naturally will not be brain-dead to this point, for this battle result that the Italians can be regarded as a big defeat in every sense, Zhang Shixin will not let such a good opportunity go in vain.
Even if the lion couldn't open his mouth, the Italians didn't care about the lives of nearly 13,000 prisoners, and attacked again with great momentum, hoping to find a place on him, what Zhang Shixin had to do was to delay a little longer, and then use the overwhelming air force...... Well, no, it should be said that the air fleet, which has a total of two hundred aircraft, has come to teach the Italians another profound lesson.
Zhang Shixin is now in the rank of major general and is able to command an air force of two hundred aircraft, while the lieutenant general has five hundred, the admiral has a thousand, and as for the marshal...... The maximum limit is 2,000 aircraft......
It can be said that the authority at the level of major general has been able to allow Zhang Shixin to face a country like Italy and achieve an invincible position in local wars. Of course, the lack of long-range bombers or transport planes is naturally Zhang Shixin's inevitable shortcoming.
Zhang Shixin wanted to communicate with Hitler for further cooperation, and then exchange for a Junkers large transport plane Ju-90 transport aircraft.
If the Ju-** is the model of the German medium transport aircraft and derivative bombers, then the Ju-90 is the basis of large military transport aircraft and large long-range bombers.
In fact, the surname of ju-** can be quite good, and the extension of the technology tree can also derive ju-90, but Zhang Shixin is unwilling to waste nearly 100w experience and go around this bend more.
What makes Zhang Shixin feel that the system is a trick is that the JU-290, which should have been derived from the JU-90, has actually become a direct technology tree of JU-**, and the JU-90 is an extension of the JU-32X large transport aircraft......
The things in the back are right, but the ju-290 in front made Zhang Shixin feel that he was indeed trapped by the system this time and fell into a state of semi-dementia, even the two "Count Cavour" class sank one after another, and the huge settlement did not bring him back to his senses for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that the system provided a large transport aircraft of the JU-323HM type that can airdrop no more than 30 tons of equipment, Zhang Shixin would have the heart to directly scold his mother.
The speed of large transport planes is relatively slow, but the mere advantage of being able to airdrop light tanks makes Zhang Shixin realize that this thing can make up for his lack of additional support during the battle.
At the same time, as an improved long-range large bomber, the JU-323**H also provides Zhang Shixin with an effective means of striking opponents on a large scale.
When 24 or even more long-range large bombers appeared over the enemy's marching troops, using horizontal bombing to drop a large number of 250kg aerial bombs, according to Zhang Shixin's estimates, even if this team was not directly disabled, I am afraid that the casualties would not be less.
In fact, the large transport aircraft of the Germans are still inferior to the transport aircraft of the Americans, for example, the Ju-** of the Germans is inferior to the Douglas DC-3, which was officially put into service not long ago, in many aspects.
Although this is more of a competition for fame, it is undeniable that the C-47 plays a greater role than the Ju-290 in terms of military affairs.
There is another situation that makes Zhang Shixin quite speechless, that is, the system will **-25 also extend from the C-47 system, Zhang Shixin lamented helplessly: Sure enough, the system is also the product of Wujie**.
At this time, Sinia coldly broke out a "famous saying": Love to want, don't roll.
Well, Zhang Shixin can only act as if he didn't see such a thing.
In fact, the C-47 medium transport aircraft and the **-25 medium bomber are the products of two companies, the former is the fist product of McDonnell Douglas, and the latter is a well-known product of North American Airlines.
Fortunately, the **-17 and **-29 large bombers are extended from the C-46 and C-130 transport aircraft respectively, otherwise, Zhang Shixin would be so depressed that he vomited blood.
The fame and surname of the Americans' bombers and transport planes are quite good, but in terms of transport aircraft, the Ju-52, which is commonly known as "Aunt Junkers", is in the category of medium-sized transport aircraft, throwing the C-47 off a few seats, if it weren't for Zhang Shixin's fancy to the JU-90 with a better surname, Zhang Shixin would not mind a few "Aunt Junkers" in his air fleet.
At the same time, the American bomber also has a **-26 medium bomber that Zhang Shixin directly ignores and is much cheaper than the **-25 in the system.
Maybe many people only know **-25 and don't know **-26, but the latter has more production and no small reputation. Of course, most of this thing's reputation is negative:
"Widow Maker", "One-way Ticket", "Murderer Martin", "Flying Coffin", "No Coffin" and "**Class Air Crash", these names look very negative, in fact, the unreliable surname of **-26 is caused by people's habitual thinking surnames, and according to the surname Neng, Zhang Shixin knows very well that the surname of this thing can be a little better than the **-25 of the ventilated model.
However, Zhang Shixin is unwilling to take this risk, and if he has the opportunity, he would rather choose **-25 than **-26.
Of course, it's still too early to say such a thing, and Zhang Shixin is not ready for this. After all, whether it is a transport plane or a bomber, the lack of effective fighter escort is more of a live target for the opponent's fighter. Zhang Shixin naturally would not make such a mistake.
At the same time, Zhang Shixin is now focusing on Italy's next move, rather than how to think about his future military development.
And Hynes quite directly stated the main reason why Zhang Shixin didn't think about this problem:
"If it weren't for the lack of original drawings or the whole machine, you would have been in YY a long time ago."
Zhang Shixin couldn't help but smile to hide his embarrassment.
……
Zhang Shixin's overall settlement of this battle was still quite generous, and after removing the rather messy expenses, Zhang Shixin found that the reward for sinking a battleship was actually more than the benefit of destroying an armored brigade.
According to the system, that is:
An armored brigade is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, but unless the opponent is using a level 10 tank in the game, otherwise, a dreadnought with a fairly good surname will naturally have a much higher reward than an armored brigade.
"Why is this the case?" Zhang Shixin subconsciously said his doubts.
Zhang Shixin immediately got an answer that made him quite speechless:
The cost of a dreadnought-class battleship, in every respect, is much more than an armored brigade. Moreover, even the United States is not an easy task to build a battleship, but the United States is able to arm one, or even more, armored divisions using the cost and time of building battleships.
Well, Zhang Shixin suddenly remembered this, because as the system explained, a battleship can be completed and launched in less than half a year?
Even the British, who are now the strongest in the navy, may not be able to do this.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin could only shake his head:
"Why don't you just fight the British, and then use the plane to get a vote?"
Zhang Shixin just thought about it, the British Mediterranean fleet alone was able to add to the troubles of Zhang Shixin, who was now only able to house most of the residents in tents, without mentioning the reconstruction of Valencia.
It can be said that although the income is not small, but now Zhang Shixin can almost be regarded as supporting the living needs of Valencia residents alone, although he wants to delay time, but if the time drags on long enough, Zhang Shixin is easily dragged "skinny".
Tens of thousands of people eat, drink, and lazar or something, which is not a small number.
However, Zhang Shixin quickly solved this trouble because of the arrival of some "guests".
…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................
There were many people who hoped to meet with Zhang Shixin this time, but Zhang Shixin and Song Ziyan only held talks with German representatives.
For the rest of the staff, summoners are to act as their agents.
Those from within Spain were interviewed by Siegel.
Naturally, the talks between them will not be held at the same time. Zhang Shixin decided to let Siegel and the representative sent by Franco first, a representative named Anreel? Alonso's young landowners for talks.
The two sides soon met face-to-face in a private room in a tavern that had not suffered much damage.
Zhang Shixin didn't care too much about the situation in Spain, but let Siegel decide what to ask the other party for himself.
Siegel suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion, and as a result, Siegel really handed Zhang Shixin a copy after the negotiation, which made Zhang Shixin feel quite surprised:
Until the end of the war, the two sides reached an alliance that was not declared to the public.
The Self-Defense Forces can send certain personnel to join the top management of the new political axe in the future, and promise that these members of the Self-Defense Forces will be given the position of head of some key departments.
The Self-Defense Forces will be granted the right of appropriate autonomy in northeastern Spain, including the area around Valencia, and will be allowed to join the Sodax Army after the formation of the New Political Axe.
Franco is willing to relinquish his position as prime minister if the SDF leader wishes.
The two sides agreed that the new policy will restore the damage caused by the unreasonable governance adopted by the current government to the greatest extent possible.
Considerable provisions are omitted below.
……
After reading this draft document, Zhang Shixin pondered for a while, and then looked at Siegel:
"Would you like to sit in that prime minister's position?"
Siegel was stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously: "Sir, this position should be ...... by you."
Zhang Shixin shook his head and interrupted Siegel's words: "This is your own business in Spain, and I am just a passer-by living in Spain." ”
Zhang Shixin said, and added an article to this draft document:
As allies, we are willing to provide considerable support in the event of a battle in Madrid.
……
And after a period of communication between them, Zhang Shixin soon got a formal treaty.
The contents of it have not changed much, but Franco hopes to get Zhang Shixin's weapons and equipment.
Zhang Shixin thought for a while, and then exchanged a large number of one-piece chariots as trading goods for a considerable amount of gold reserves.
Of course, that's all for later.
Siegel didn't quite understand why this was the case, because according to his idea, Franco didn't have to pay such a price to win them over.
After Zhang Shixin was silent for a while, he said a sentence:
"There are many times when dignity is not something that can be achieved by simply doing nothing. In this case, it is necessary to make a name for yourself and win one or two rather shocking battles in order to gain the respect of others. ”
Zhang Shixin paused and picked up a cup of coffee:
"A big fist is the last word, and the truth is only within the range of a cannon."
…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................
After solving the situation on Franco's side, Zhang Shixin and Song Ziyan personally greeted the guests from Germany.
Whether it is public or private, it is necessary for Zhang Shixin to come forward in person.
Yu Gong and Zhang Shixin were unwilling to turn a blind eye to the goodwill expressed by the Germans, especially Hitler, which did not benefit the good relations between them at all.
In private, Zhang Shixin also has what he wants to get, and in the same way, the Germans will definitely not be unprepared for this time.
It can be said that Zhang Shixin knew very well that this meeting between the two sides would be more intense than a battle.
……
In contrast to this situation, the members of the summoners received "guests" from many countries, and Zhang Shixin gave them the task of getting as many benefits as possible.
The British, Americans, and the French were more interested in Zhang Shixin's heavy equipment.
However, because the price of the other party was quite low, it was not very good for the summoners to judge the sincerity of the other party, so these negotiations did not achieve any results.
According to Zhang Shixin's thoughts, the other party came this time more in the hope of being able to fish in troubled waters and let himself suffer for no reason, and Zhang Shixin naturally would not do it.
Because of this premise, Zhang Shixin's multifaceted talks with these people were basically fruitless. In addition to the fact that the Americans still have a strong interest in the M6 heavy tank, the two sides will maintain exchanges in the future. Representatives of two other countries rejected the summons' offer to continue negotiations.
Zhang Shixin sat on a chair in a tent, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly:
"I'm not unfamiliar with your country's things, there's no point in the Navy coming, and I'm much better than you when it comes to the Army. As for the Air Force, ** F-109 has it, Ju-87 also has it, and I don't like you Lancasters for large bombers. ”
While Zhang Shixin was thinking about this, the three Germans walked into the tent under the guidance of several summoners.
Zhang Shixin stood up in his position and shook hands with Heysel, his old acquaintance and senior attendant of the Chancellery.
Then, Zhang Shixin knew the identities of these two people in Heysel's introduction:
They are: Albert? Speer, as the great steward of the War of the Third Reich, was very capable.
The other is the number one loyal dog of the Wehrmacht known as Hitler, Walter? Feng? Brauchitsch, an unlucky commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht who was not very good in the future, of course, the current Brauchitsch is nothing more than a general.
The appearance of these two people made Zhang Shixin understand that this meeting should not be easy to go anywhere. (To be continued.) )
