Chapter 549: Anti-Union Preparation
After Jiang Cheng got Hitler's promise, he immediately gave the German scientific research department some theories of missiles in the future, although it was only a few pages, but it was enough for those scientists to save a lot of detours. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just like electric lamps, later generations know that tungsten filament is one of the best materials for electric lights, but so many scientists in history have spent decades to develop them, and science is often like a layer of window paper.
Especially when the German scientists saw the classification of missile functions in the data, they immediately felt that the fog in front of them had become a smooth road, and they all threw themselves into the research with all their screams, and even some of them worked frantically for several days and nights.
After receiving feedback from the scientific research department, Hitler was amazed by the scientific and technological power behind Jiang Cheng, and at the same time asked Himmler and others to strengthen the investigation of the forces behind Jiang Cheng, and personally took Jiang Cheng to Italy to meet with Mussolini, of course, Hitler himself had other things to coordinate with Mussolini.
This is not the first time Jiang Cheng has come to Rome in the time and space of the Republic of China, but looking at the ancient buildings in Rome, Jiang Cheng still can't help but be amazed, although there are many ancient buildings in China, most of them are wooden buildings, which are very different from the stone buildings in Rome.
Mussolini took Ziano to meet with Hitler, as soon as the two met, they shook hands and talked like old friends, Mussolini saw Jiang Cheng, he couldn't help but feel strange, but he didn't ask directly out of etiquette, until a few people entered the conference room for a secret meeting Jiang Cheng was still with him, Mussolini couldn't help but ask, "Hitler, who is this?" ”
Hitler said hehehe, "His name is Jiang, and he is a good friend of our Third Reich, have you forgotten?" Remember the oil fields of Libya? ”
Mussolini immediately patted his head and said, "Chinese ginger? I remember, I haven't seen you in years, but you haven't changed at all. ”
The last time they met was at the signing ceremony where Jiang Cheng took Italy and Germany to develop Libyan oil fields together, Mussolini only saw Jiang Cheng at that time, and he was naturally not impressed.
Speaking of Italy and Mussolini, we have to talk about Italy's interesting system, Italy and Germany are not the same, Germany due to the defeat of World War I, after William stepped down, Germany's power was completely transferred from the king to the government, which is also one of the reasons why Hitler, who was chancellor at the beginning, could become a dictator so easily, and Italy was the victor in World War I, so King Vittorio Emanuele III did not lose power, even if Mussolini came to power, the fascist forces gained power, He also remains de jure head of state, with the power to remove Prime Minister Mussolini and force the resignation of the fascist cabinet.
In history, although Mussolini's ouster was due to defeat on the battlefield, the Italian king's abandonment of him was the final blow, and even after he was arrested, none of his party members even had an armed rescue, and he had to rely on Hitler to save him, Mussolini's mastery of Italy can be seen.
However, Mussolini is not bad now, although he was repaired by Britain in the Mediterranean, and he relied on Germany in Greece to win the war, but after all, he is still in an offensive state strategically, and all Italian parties support him.
The two gossiped a few words, and Hitler took a sip of water and got to the point: "Roosevelt has been moving a lot of things during this time, first delivering a fireside address against us, and then issuing the Atlantic Declaration with Churchill, plus the support of Britain and Free France in the Lend-Lease Act, his mind is already clear." ”
Mussolini nodded, his brows tightened, as the leader of the country, he naturally understood the strength of the United States, but he smiled and said, "Fortunately, the isolationist forces in the United States are not weak, if nothing else, it is not easy for Roosevelt to let the United States enter the war, and he has already been in the third term, more than Washington, does he still want to be the fourth?" ”
Hitler said gloomily, "If it was in the war, he would probably have been in the fifth session!" ”
Jiang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, indeed, the historical Roosevelt can be said to be until he died, and countless future generations estimate that if Roosevelt lives for another ten or eight years, I am afraid that he will be re-elected, and the Federal Reserve will be completely swallowed by Roosevelt, of course, Roosevelt's death has also left a lot of mysteries in history.
When Mussolini heard this, he couldn't help but tighten his heart, as the saying goes, to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to compare the heart with the heart, as the two fascist leaders who regard power more than anything else, they will not believe that Roosevelt is a person with few desires, and there is no need to be a president if he is really pure-hearted, Mussolini asked, "In this way, the possibility of the United States entering the war is indeed very great." ”
Hitler smiled and said, "But fortunately, Roosevelt expressed his stance to the Americans during the election in 40 years and would not take the initiative to participate in the war, I think he is constantly provoking us now, probably because he wants us to lose our breath and take the initiative to start a war with the United States, of course, the United States may also be the same as the Spanish-American War in the past." ”
In the Spanish-American War, the United States simply blew up its warships as a pretext for war.
Mussolini was worried for a moment, and then confidently said, "The victory must be ours, and by the time the United States enters the war, I am afraid that Britain will have already surrendered." ”
Hitler hummed and said, "This is also one of the purposes of my visit, I hope that Germany and Italy will cooperate to launch a large-scale offensive in Africa, take Egypt first, and also give Britain and the United States a counterattack." ”
Mussolini immediately clapped his hands and said, "Good! This is good! If we take Egypt, then we will get the Suez Canal, and we will cut off the aid from Asia. ”
Hitler nodded and said, "In addition, there is one more thing, I don't know what you think of aircraft carriers?" ”
Mussolini had just suffered a big loss at the hands of the aircraft carrier, so he said: "The aircraft carrier can make the aircraft appear anywhere, and our battleships have suffered a lot of losses under the bombing of the aircraft, and the aircraft carrier has little role in the Mediterranean, but in the sea battle, the aircraft carrier will indeed cause a lot of trouble." ”
Hitler beckoned to Jiang Cheng and said to Mussolini, "Jiang hopes that you Italy can help him produce aircraft carriers, I am the intermediary, of course, if you don't want to, forget it." ”
When Mussolini heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, not to mention anything else, Italy can make a lot of money from the production of such a big ship, and Italy can also get the production technology and experience of aircraft carriers, which is a matter of making money without losing money.
In the end, Jiang Cheng asked Italy to help him produce two aircraft carriers at a price of 150 million US dollars, Jiang Cheng even asked for steel to be imported from Germany, which was also regarded as giving Germany a piece of cake, Hitler immediately smiled and praised Jiang Cheng well, as for why Jiang Cheng wanted this aircraft carrier, Mussolini didn't even ask, didn't see Hitler say it in person, what is there to ask? Anyway, it won't be used to hit yourself.
And when Italy saw Jiang Cheng's drawings, he couldn't help but admire, Jiang Cheng did not completely provide drawings in accordance with the Canglong-class aircraft carrier, but let the Red Queen modify a lot, mainly because although Canglong is Japan's first-class modern aircraft carrier, but due to Japan's strategic thinking and tonnage restrictions at that time, the combat readiness was too heavy, and the defense was insufficient, and there was no radar, and these have been made up by Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng generously provided radar technology to Italy, which suddenly made Mussolini excited and almost kissed Jiang Cheng.
The modified aircraft carrier has a standard displacement of 18,900 tons, a full load displacement of 23,800 tons, a deck armor thickness of 37 mm, a horizontal armor thickness of 120 mm, and four twin 105-mm guns, 10 twin 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and 20 twin 20mm anti-aircraft guns.
And although Mussolini didn't attach much importance to aircraft carriers due to Italy's geographical location, he thought that someone would pay for it anyway, so he used Jiang Cheng's money to build an aircraft carrier for himself, and even had a surplus, and by the way, the money for the repair of the battleship was also counted on Jiang Cheng's head.
The reason why the dollar is used is because the United States is not only an arsenal of Britain and other countries, but also a source of materials for Germany, Italy and Japan, and countless military supplies such as oil, steel, and rubber are continuously shipped to the Axis countries.
The so-called justice of a great power is like a fart! Profit is the truth!
-- The old camp of the Northeast China Anti-Japanese Federation
In January, the northeast jungle is still snowy, and countless pines and cypresses stand in the white snow, swaying with the bitter northwest wind, making a sharp and piercing whistling, as if deliberately defying the frozen weather.
In the middle of the old camp was a huge wooden hut with branches on it, but at this time it was snow-white, and the heavy snow gave the old camp the best cover.
"The 203 chief has arrived!" Listening to a call, Yang Jingyu, Ye Jianying and others, who were discussing in the barracks, stood up, only to see a person wearing a fur coat rubbing his hands walk in, not Jiang Cheng and who it was.
Half a month passed in a flash, and after Jiang Cheng arranged the affairs of Italy, he immediately returned to Germany, returned to modern times with a large number of munitions produced from the Skoda Arsenal, and then transferred here.
"Wow! It's too cold, and although I'm mentally prepared, I still feel cold and can't stand it. Jiang Cheng grinned and said, although his body had been strengthened to the point of invulnerability due to the long-term time and space travel, the cold still could not be resisted.
"Hehe, 203 come and bake the fire, I haven't seen you for a long time, look at the appearance of 203, nothing has changed, it seems to be doing well." Yang Jingyu said with a smile.
Everyone sat down around the fire, and Jiang Cheng first reported the good news, "Let me tell you a few good news, the first is that I brought 15,000 rifles, 1,000 machine guns of all kinds, 100 mortars, nearly 1,000 pistols and submachine guns, as well as 20 anti-aircraft guns, 40 anti-aircraft machine guns, all of which are German goods, 20 million bullets, tens of thousands of shells, and countless food and clothing." Of course, this is the first batch of supplies, and there will be more to come. ”
Everyone applauded excitedly, and Yang Jingyu said, "Okay! Comrade 203 really brings us good news every time. ”
Ye Jianying said with a smile: "It's not just good news, I think I'm afraid there are more important tasks." ”
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, nodded to Ye Jianying, and then looked around at everyone and said, "Let me briefly say it, after the Axis alliance was formed, Britain and the United States were also constantly moving, and the real world war was about to break out, and the United States and the Soviet Union, the two great powers that had not yet been launched, would also be dragged into the water, and it was very likely that they would be on our side, and the time for our counteroffensive was gradually ripe." ”
Listening to Jiang Cheng's words, everyone's eyes gradually lit up.
Jiang Cheng smiled and continued, "According to the latest intelligence, Japan and the United States have secretly become dirty, our time is running out, and according to Yan'an's instructions, we need to start preparing immediately. ”
Yang Jingyu nodded and said, "This is also the reason why I asked everyone to come, I will first report to the head of 203 about the current situation of our Anti-Japanese Federation." The year before last, when Xie Wendong and others' anti-Japanese alliance was surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese army, we got information and rushed to the rescue, but we didn't expect Xie Wendong's soft bones to surrender an hour before we arrived, but this also made the Japanese army relax their vigilance and was caught off guard by us.
Last year, we focused on development and supplemented by strikes, and now there are 66,700 personnel in the whole army, of whom more than 50,000 are combatants, exceeding the highest peak in our history.
In addition, in accordance with the instructions of the central authorities, we have also developed into the DPRK and set up the Korean Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, with Comrade Murjeong sent by the central authorities as the commander, Comrade Kim Il Sung, the former commander of the special operations battalion, and Comrade Kim Doo-bong as the deputy commander, and Comrade Pak Il-woo as the political commissar. ”
Jiang Cheng wrote it down and said to Yang Jingyu: "The central government means that the task of our Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation in the next six months is to continue to develop vital forces on the one hand, and to reorganize on the other, the original special operations battalion is because our anti-Japanese forces are uneven, and we need elite troops to resist the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, and now the situation has undergone new changes, the central government's proposal is to set up three to five armies, with more deputy cadres, and be mentally prepared to expand at any time, once the major counteroffensive begins, the Anti-Japanese Federation is likely to take on the task of containing the Kwantung Army. Of course, if the Anti-Japanese Federation has any material needs, you can talk to the organization, and the organization will find a way to solve it. ”
Yang Jingyu and Ye Jianying glanced at each other a few times, the two shook their heads, and Yang Jingyu spoke, "Please rest assured, our Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation will definitely not delay the counteroffensive." ”
Next, Yang Jingyu and others immediately reorganized the troops in a resolute and resolute manner, because the last time the Anti-Japanese League left the Anti-Japanese League, some of the original hidden dangers in the Anti-Japanese League have been eliminated, and the reorganization of the troops is no longer as difficult as before.
