Berlin, Germany.

The headquarters of the Führer of the Third Reich, Hitler's temporary office.

In early 1946, after another assassination attempt on Hitler, he ordered the abolition of the standing office, which instead appeared in the form of a temporary office somewhere in the base camp from time to time.

The Führer of the Third Reich, after an assassination attempt by a Nazi officer, was horrified and even somewhat incomprehensible.

"Hi Hitler!"

Several Nazi officers walked into Hitler's makeshift office, including Air Marshal Goering, the national leader of the SS Himmler. The head of the military intelligence department, the head of the German [***] affair report, Admiral Canaris. The new Chief of the German General Staff, Colonel-General Krebs, and others.

Hitler looked up from the pile of papers on his desk and glanced at several people, especially the evasive Air Marshal Goering.

With a wave of his hand, he motioned for a few people to sit down.

"Canaris reported to me again yesterday that the intention of the Allies to open a second theater of war in Northern Europe has become very clear." Hitler nodded to Canaris.

"Yes, Führer!" Hearing this, Canaris stood up and said rightly, "According to our intelligence, this landing operation will be launched soon, especially when the Chinese's general offensive in the Far East is coming to an end, and the Allies will put all the spare troops and supplies and even the fleet into Europe. The Chinese's use of the United States has fallen to its lowest point.

In addition to the ongoing fighting in Southeast Asia, the Chinese have temporarily stopped fighting with the Soviet Union and the United States, which has put a lot of pressure on us. I would like to ask Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff to explain the specific situation. ”

Hitler nodded to the Chief of the General Staff, General Krebs, who got up and walked to the map frame by the wall, pulled down the map of Northern Europe, and pointed to the former territory of the Soviet Union near Finland in Northern Europe, now the German occupation zone, and said, "Judging from the current movement of Allied forces, there are three possible landing sites for the Allies, one in Finland, one in Murmansk, and one in Karelia."

It is not certain which place the Americans will choose as the landing site, but it is certain that the Allies have gathered about 1 million advance forces and more second forces in order to carry out this plan.

To make matters worse, in addition to the landing force, the Soviets regrouped a force north of Moscow, whose goal was likely to be to attack the Leningrad direction in response to the Allied landing. The British, on the other hand, may be able to use Sweden, and our intelligence organizations and aerial reconnaissance have already discovered that the British are massing forces on a large scale, and they are likely to use Sweden as a springboard to the heart of Europe.

Once the Americans have landed, the British have landed at the second landing site, and the Soviets have launched a coordinated attack on the flanks, we are likely to lose Northern Europe very quickly, thus giving the Allies the ability to attack the heart of Europe.

While we had sufficient forces to deal with it, the Allies also began to assemble landing forces along the coast of the Soviet Arctic Ocean, and it is believed that more than a million Allied troops from the Americas and elsewhere have landed. ”

The explanation of the Chief of the General Staff was not long, and it ended quickly, and everyone did not speak, and even Goering, who was invincible in peacetime, fell into silence.

Hitler: "The Chinese created a conspiracy to drive the Americans away, monopolize the Soviet Far East, and connect the whole Far East with Siberia. In addition to the northern regions near the Arctic Ocean, which were in the hands of the Soviets, now half of the entire Soviet Union is in the hands of the Chinese.

These places are rich in minerals and fertile land, which has provided great help to the Chinese in their migration and strategic resource extraction, they have obtained oil and various mineral deposits, and they have also announced the discovery of super-large natural gas fields.

Now, they are surrounded by their regiments and cannot hold out for long before they are wiped out, but they have used this as an excuse to let go of 500,000 American troops, together with two air groups, and the huge maritime transport forces and fleets that were originally held back in the Far East.

Now it all moved to Northern Europe, which provided the greatest help to the Allies in opening up a second theater of war.

Goering, the performance of your Air Force is very poor, and I am very disappointed. ”

As he spoke, Hitler, who didn't know how to be on fire, slammed his fist on the table.

It turned out that with the Allied landing operations and the development of the plan to attack Europe, in the direction of the English Channel and the Arctic Ocean, the Allied air offensive actually turned from the previous defense to the offensive step by step.

In just three months, the Luftwaffe lost more aircraft than the previous eight months combined, which shows the intensity of the air battle and the heavy losses.

Hitler knew very well that once he lost air supremacy, it would be difficult for the German Nazi legions to stop this large-scale landing war, and millions of Allied troops would continue to pour into Europe.

"The guerrillas everywhere must be exterminated, no matter how great the cost. Himmler, you have to draw more troops to take on this difficult task. ”

Now there are dozens of partisan groups in various parts of Europe, and the total number of them even exceeds 100,000, these guerrillas are fighting and running, everywhere, and unlike the smooth operation of the Nazi regime in the early days, with the rigidity of the war, it has not been possible to achieve a decisive victory in the war against the Soviet Union, so that many rebels have appeared in various places.

Hitler even suspected that some of the servant armies had a tendency to defect, so he transferred them far away, and even sent a large number of these troops to the Soviet front as cannon fodder.

However, this practice intensified the contradictions in various countries, and the Nazi regimes in various European countries also raised some different voices, and began to show signs of opposition to Hitler.

In short, everything was very difficult for Hitler, and although Germany had occupied almost all of Africa and the Middle East, he was still not happy.

"Führer, the production of our newest ME265 jet fighter is being expanded, and due to the lack of experience in large-scale jet air combat, we can only rush to meet it when attacked by the powerful jet fleets of the United States and Britain.

We have changed our strategy and will concentrate our forces and use our most advanced jet fighters to regain air supremacy over Northern Europe and over the English Channel. ”

Goering was sweaty on his forehead, and his heart was very anxious, although the air force performed well on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, but that was because the air force of the Soviets was already very weak, even if they joined the new jet fighters and the Jet MiGs produced by the Soviets, they still succumbed to the huge German fleet.

However, in the northern regions of Northern Europe and the Soviet Union, more and more US air units began to arrive, and even the British had already mass-produced the jet fighters they had obtained from the United States and the Hurricane jet fighters that had been successfully developed with the help of the Americans.

On the other hand, the Luftwaffe, although it began mass production of jet fighters ME262 very early, has been used sporadically, eventually resulting in the loss of more than 2,000 ME262s with immature technology in a few years.

Although Germany currently has more than 3,000 ME262 and ME264 jet fighters, the surnames are not satisfactory, and the number of the latest ME265 is less than 500, and these aircraft were scattered on various battlefields just three months ago.

"It is necessary to concentrate superior fighters and firmly grasp air supremacy, as the Chinese do."

Hitler was so dissatisfied that he even wanted to loudly reprimand Goering, but he also understood that the Luftwaffe was not caused by one person, but a long-standing superstition about large fleets, which led to the slow production and deployment of expensive jet fighters. "The fact that the Chinese were able to concentrate thousands of advanced jet fighters at once to drive away the two air fleets of the Americans and the entire Far East air force is worth learning from the German Empire."

Speaking of the performance of the Chinese Air Force, Hitler also had to be convinced.

Subsequently, Hitler discussed with these dignitaries the military response plan and the preparation of the anti-landing operation, which was actually very large, and was called the 'Nordic Barrier'.

In the entire anti-landing war and the defense of Northern Europe, the German army planned to use 2.2 million German troops, as well as more than 2.7 million servants[***] troops, more than half of which would be composed of Italian troops.

The whole plan was in the form of the deployment of heavy troops, in an attempt to counter the landing operations of the Allied forces.

In the end, Hitler gave an order.

"I have decided to send a special envoy to China again to discuss some key surname issues with Zhang Shusheng, and if the Chinese are willing to give in and are satisfied with the terms we have offered, then we will have an easier time dealing with the situation in the future."

Hitler was determined to enlist the help of the Chinese, even at some great cost.

Although he had repeatedly made some intrigues and tricks against China on the issue of World War II, he had to make concessions again and again for the sake of the whole of Germany and World War II.

Soon, a secret negotiator team set off for China, and in order to gain the most time, they even flew directly over the edge of the Soviet-German battlefield, landed at the airfield in the Chinese-occupied Central Asian region, that is, the province of Huo Quzhi, and then transferred to the Chinese capital Hanjing.

After being informed by the Germans, Hanjing also made arrangements early on, and attached great importance to this negotiating group, at least in form.

"Chairman, the German negotiating team has flown to the Hanking Airport and stayed at the Hanking Hotel."

"Huh? It seems that the Germans are very fast. ”

After hearing Mao Yunxian's report, Zhang Shusheng smiled and put down a newspaper in his hand, which was about a tree planting activity promoted by the Republic in the western region and barren areas, and hundreds of thousands of people were recruited to the northwest as afforestation workers to start artificial afforestation.

This is also the result of Zhang Shusheng's recent order to officially launch a large-scale desert and barren area transformation plan.

"Let them stay for two days first, and the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will talk to them first, and the high-level officials will not be in a hurry to see them."

Zhang Shusheng didn't even ask who the leader was, the Germans were obviously asking for help, as a strong party, why should the Republic be in a hurry.
