After the impressive military exercise, the German military arranged for the invited guests to return to the city of Munich, and then held a luncheon for them at the new Munich International Hotel. Louis Steanger and several other well-known technical experts in the industry.
As we all know in that history, after the end of World War II, the large German military enterprises that provided technical and material support for the Third Reich to wage war were punished very severely. Not only were they forcibly shut down, but their production facilities were also taken away or demolished by the Allies and the Soviet Union, so that some century-old enterprises withdrew from the stage of history, but most of them still survived by the "gap space" created by the direct confrontation between the two camps. The Allies signed an armistice with the Soviet Union in defeat, which left the entire Western world under the shadow of the Eastern threat theory, and people not only did not resist and contain the GDR's rearmament efforts, but even held a selfish attitude of support. Although the total amount of the loan was only a quarter of that of France, considering that the end of World War II was only a few short years, and that the military rise of the Third Reich was unshirkable in the past, the approval of this loan bill fully reflected the change in the thinking of the US government and the people, and also became a "weather vane" for the political stance of Western countries. After that, in addition to various nominal investments and loans, many countries, especially the traditional users of German-style weapons, have issued the first orders after the end of World War II to German military enterprises - weapons and ammunition procurement, equipment maintenance and repair, military training guidance, etc., Switzerland even purchased the production technology of the Leopard tank at a price of 14 million crowns, this contract immediately allowed Porsche to obtain valuable funds to restart the diesel engine production line, and Krupp also obtained the order contract for 75 mm long-barreled guns; The Dutch and Swedish had long had a strong interest in the German Navy's XLL submarine technology, and they were unable to come up with enough cash to purchase submarines due to the effects of the war, but the position of each taking what it needed eventually led to cooperation between the three countries, with German shipyards retrofitting and upgrading existing submarines for the Netherlands and Sweden......
Under the deliberate arrangement of the organizers, the luncheon site is more like an informal meeting. With the previous military exercises as a foreshadowing, diplomats from various countries, especially military attaches and special envoys with special tasks, have taken a positive attitude to exchange, communicate and test with representatives of the German military industry.
As for how many of our own soldiers and civilians were killed by the weapons made by these German factories in the past, it seems that they have been graciously thrown into the dustbin of history as if they had passed the time limit for legal prosecution. However, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, which were under German occupation during World War II, were forced to produce military supplies for Germany during that dark period. How ironic it is that the enemies should have been very angry when they met, but they each raised their glasses and talked happily! …,
The intentions of diplomats are not fully representative of their own governments, but they are at least a positive reference. Everything that happened during the luncheon, including the conversations between the characters, the expressions and demeanors when they were alone, as well as the personal profile information and basic evaluations, were collected and sent to Lynn. As the national situation and the government's position point out, the French, who had just acquired a large number of American-made weapons, deliberately showed disdain for Germany's lightning assault equipment, but in fact they were both curious and itchy, especially interested in the battlefield delivery capabilities of German-made twin-rotor helicopters; The British were shocked by the elite strength of the German army, and in the current situation, they had no fear that the Germans would come back to threaten the survival of the British Isles, but their natural conservatism made them extremely cautious, and they seemed to have long feared the resurgence of German military power. "So there is more inquiry than cooperation; The Americans were more straightforward, and they were also interested in the performance of the German-made twin-rotor helicopter, and discussed cooperation between the two sides.
Lynn was not surprised by the attitude of these Western powers, after all, a country's national strength is limited, and even a superpower like the United States cannot invest heavily in every technology, but make trade-offs according to its own situation. According to the strategic plan outlined by this camp, Germany will go hand in hand with the restoration of its military-industrial base in the next ten years, the former will require a lot of money, manpower and time, and the latter will have to rely on a system of industrial facilities, and after several years of reflection and research, the Reich's top brass has reordered the priority development of cutting-edge equipment: nuclear weapons, guided rockets, jet fighters, fire control radars, high-speed submarines, and new tanks, and in Lynn's plan, long-range rockets must be included in this list. The trade-offs in decision-making are of great significance, but the primary factor that will determine the future today is the speed of recovery and development of the German military industry, and it is an unquestionable strategy to do everything possible to obtain foreign funds and resources when Germany's own economic environment and government financial resources cannot provide sufficient impetus.
For the rest of the day, Lynn began to wait and see how the outside world reacted.
Unsurprisingly, despite the very strict secrecy of the exercise site by the German military, the news quickly became known. Countries and peoples that feared the Soviet Union generally regarded it as a fence made of thorns, which, although it might endanger their own security, was relatively effective against the invasion of "aliens" opposed to the civilized world; Public opinion in the Soviet camp attacked the "revival of German militarism" without any novelty. Not only did he accuse the GDR government and military top brass of returning to a dangerous path, but it also suggested that the leadership of the new Germany had been influenced and even corrupted by the remnants of the Third Reich. In addition to the indignant political comments, the Soviet side also took a hard line by military means: Moscow announced that the 2nd, 5th, and 11th Guards Tank Corps had taken the lead in installing new combat vehicles and support equipment, and that another 22 infantry divisions had been upgraded to mechanized infantry divisions, which greatly improved the mechanization and combat effectiveness of the Soviet Army, and the newly formed 1st Airborne Army also held large-scale live-fire exercises in the Ukrainian region. Because of the overwhelming superiority of the Soviet troops in direct dialogue on the battlefield, their military maneuvers caused a panic in the Western world, and many people rebuked the German military and political top brass for being angry at the "red beast" that had easily calmed down. But there were also many who realized that Germany's military build-up was not the root cause of Soviet deterrence, and that the external pressure on Germany was not as great as expected. To Lynn's irony, conservative Chancellor Willy Stock, who received the news, came to his residence overnight and demanded a halt to the overt military expansion and a compromise explanation from the military. Lynn would not accept Stocker's mediocre trick of rushing to the doctor, and while he explained it in a logical way, he pretended to agree that Germany's military rearmament would avoid sensitive content as much as possible, but the German government must allocate a special fund to compensate for the losses of the army and the military-industrial complex. The blackmail of the Hitler model really worked~ A Stocker promised to persuade the Reichstag as much as possible if he was reinstated, but Lynn had no intention of stopping, and his bait soon lured the "prey": the French government sent a military delegation to negotiate the cooperation between Germany and France to develop a helicopter project, and according to the proposal put forward by the Imperial base camp, Lynn instructed the cabinet to negotiate with half of the representatives to prescribe conditions: the French side will fund, Germany will provide technology and equipment, and the French army will be equipped with at least four lightning assault battalions within a year, The German side provided training services for officers and soldiers free of charge. After bargaining, France decided to purchase German twin-rotor helicopters, paratrooper combat vehicles based on the VW82, 105 mm paratrooper support guns, MG42 with 75-round drums, and MP44 assault rifles. According to the agreement between the two parties, the total cost of forming this blitzkrieg force is $13.5 million, which is equivalent to the cost of forming two howitzer regiments according to the conversion standard of military aid provided by the United States in the late 40s. …,
In addition to France, the long-awaited German military industry has also ushered in two other unexpected buyers: the United States, a superpower that is unique in the world in terms of comprehensive strength, has the world's best industrial scale and technological level, and its military support capabilities are the envy of all countries, but it has been repeatedly defeated by the Soviet army on the land battlefield; Hungary, the only country to be freed from Germany in the referendum in the Soviet-occupied territories, was weakened and in ruins, and was allied and protected by Germany during World War II, so it had a complex national mentality.
From infantry firearms to atomic bombs, American technology is basically in the leading position in the world, and the only thing that the GDR military industry can win the favor of the American military is heavy tanks, but the delivery of 1,200 heavy tanks in three batches made the German side talk about the half-representative completely unable to believe his eyes, and even Lynn was surprised; Hungary could not afford the high cost of forming an airborne force, and a small number of elite paratroopers did not mean much to defend their vast territory, and they saw the recovery of German armaments in the show-like military exercises, and although they received a loan from the US government and used it to buy a backlog of weapons in US military warehouses, they still planned to buy German-style equipment to form an elite German armament force, and the cost was exchanged for domestic bauxite, coal, and iron ore resources...... )
