The buds bloomed, the glaciers melted, and in the blink of an eye, the warm spring glow replaced the raging frost wind, bringing revival to the European land in 1939.

In the magnificent and solemn Imperial Palace in Berlin, Qing Ying was quietly reviewing the text in his hand at his desk, and a thick stack of cases had been piled up beside him, and the dark green cover wrapped in it was all the core of the emperor's personal judgment. Although the gunfire in North America has subsided for more than half a year, it is still far from the point where he is completely idle: At the personnel level, Germany is faced with the task of demobilizing tens of millions of officers and men on active duty after the war, and the government needs to drastically reduce the financial burden of the army and provide proper resettlement for these demobilized soldiers, but it must not excessively compromise elite personnel and affect the normal combat strength of the army. In the economic field, Germany needs to re-transform the wartime economy, which has been in place for more than a year, into a peaceful configuration; At present, the explosion of munitions and equipment from the factories is far beyond peacetime needs, and if it is not possible to earn foreign exchange through exports, it can only be coched in zài warehouses, and cannot contribute to the circulation of the German economy.

However, this is not the first time Qingying has dealt with post-war affairs. He had already accumulated a wealth of experience in this field at the end of the last war, and although the spread in Germany was even bigger than it was then, the core essence of the project was completely the same. In a short time, the cases on his desk were transferred from the left to the right; When Qingying rang the electric bell on the table, the waiter waiting outside the door would respectfully push the door and send the processed documents to the offices of the secretaries of state.

Tong guò these months of aftercare. Qingying also sketched a complete outline of the future development of Germany. For a long time to come. The first mission of this emerging world empire was to digest and absorb its vast newly acquired colonies. In the division of the British Imperial legacy. Germany, which single-handedly wiped out the main force of the opposing army and navy, swallowed almost the whole cake, and only gave some barren African land and fragments of overseas islands to Austria-Hungary and Italy; And the core ointment, including India and South Africa, is now under the legal "protection" of Germany, which is obviously a territory that needs to be carefully managed by Germany. A considerable part of the orders signed by the Qing Ying at present are to send demobilized soldiers to these territories to serve as military police officers to maintain the rule of the authorities; When the violent apparatus was established, the Qing Ying were able to infiltrate and infiltrate these colonies by encouraging investment and immigration. He had already set a precedent for this in his annexation of the occupied territories of Eastern Europe and the French colonies. Now it is easy to implement, and it is smooth.

In addition to annexing the colonies to strengthen themselves, another important task for the Qing Ying to do was to change their existing foreign policy. Prior to this, in order to defeat the United States, the most dangerous imaginary enemy, Qingying had almost integrated the whole of Europe under the same framework; Whether it was the inherent hatred between Italy and Austria-Hungary, or the "bastards" of the Balkan countries, they were temporarily frozen under the pressure of Berlin's will. Now, the dispute between these countries is no longer a distraction for Germany, but rather an increasingly detached position of the Berlin government in its influence and arbitration. Become an offshore balancer like the British of a century ago.

As for Japan, a former comrade-in-arms in the War of Resistance against the United States, now it is even more time to usher in the same bed and different dreams after being in the same boat. Qingying, who is determined to prevent his continued expansion. A series of moves had already been made on the fringes of Japanese influence: a request for arms purchases from the Netherlands had been approved, and Germany was to deliver to the Dutch military a total of one battalion of combat aircraft to be used to protect Dutch Indochina. The Singapore base, which had been taken over from the British, was also rearmed, and the warplanes and fleets stationed in it were firmly guarding this bridgehead overlooking East Asia. Although the scale of the Qing British military deployment in South Asia was still very limited in order to avoid over-provoking the Japanese, because Singapore had all the necessary infrastructure, Germany, which already controlled the two oceans of the world, was able to achieve a large-scale increase in troops to the Far East in a very short time.

In dealing with the American question, Qing Ying was inclined to merge the 10 southeastern states controlled by Germany and the two states dominated by Austria and Italy to form a new North American regime, so that the United States could return to the situation of partition and confrontation before the Civil War. Since the American people have opened up their minds, Germany's direct rule over its territory has many disadvantages and drawbacks; Rather than spending huge administrative costs to seek absolute control over Ukraine and Poland, it is better to retreat into the background and leave everything on the surface to an agent.

In view of the possible future war against Japan, it was clear that Germany's post-war disarmament could not be overdone. Under Qing Ying's proposal, Germany's naval and air expenditures remained at a considerable level in the first year after the war: most of the ships that had been built during the war were continued, including the Hindenburg-class heavy aircraft carriers, which at its peak had an average of four ships launched per quarter. Counting the completed ships that have been built and are under construction on the slipway, the German Navy will be a terror force of 40 fleet aircraft carriers in the coming years. Although this amount is extremely staggering, the proportion of money spent on construction and daily expenses is no higher than that of the British Grand Fleet at its peak.

What's more, the German Navy will also drastically reduce the size of battleships in its establishment, so as to reduce the daily consumption of the Navy and control the overall military expenditure at a more reasonable level. According to Raeder's plan, all 19 old capital ships from the Bismarck-class would be removed from the navy; They have been converted into war memorial museums, dismantled and machined and sunk to the bottom of the ocean as artificial reefs, while more often they have been dismantled and thrown into smelting furnaces to recover steel. As a result of this pneumatic pout, the German Navy's once-proud battlefleet would remain with only seven ships, and its role would be relegated to the back burner in case of emergency, with even the heavy cruisers, which were also no longer built, having far more appearances than they were. In the face of this unstoppable trend of the times, Qingying could only reluctantly sign this paper decree of reprieves on the death of the battleship; The only thing that gives him some comfort is that he can still reminisce about the eternal youth and endless love that he once poured into these "children" who were transformed into museums through the lucky people who were transformed into museums.

The production of equipment for the army and air force was far easier than that of the navy, and most of its production lines were quickly stopped. Under Qing Ying's orders, the two branches of the armed forces devoted their main energies to the study of new weapons: in addition to nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles, which were relied on as absolute trump cards, the longer-life jet aero engines and the improvement of existing jet prototypes will be their main topics for a long time to come. With the rapid innovation of technology, the macro configuration of winning by quantity in this war will also undergo a significant change in the future; Qingying had already made up his mind that in the future, the development of the German army's equipment would replace simplicity and ease of production with scientific and technological content, as the first benchmark for judging its superiority.

In this steep February of early spring, the war in Eastern Europe, which had been burning for more than a year, finally subsided in the gradually warming wind. After the fall of Moscow, the Russian army could no longer organize any meaningful resistance, and the Imperial Russian army drove all the way in, rushing from Moscow to Leningrad, more than 650 kilometers away, in less than five weeks. In the direction of its troops, the Russian army and the local authorities all hoped to surrender; When the people saw the Cheka members being taken away, they were first trembling and stunned by the Red Terror, and it took a long time for them to react to the different circumstances they were currently in, and then let out a roar full of tears.

Under the encouragement and instigation of the imperial army, the statues of the sacrosanct "loving father" in the past were violently pushed to the ground, and the crowd of grief and ecstasy trampled, foamed, hammered, and axed all parts of them...... Do whatever it takes. If Ulyanov's reign was only the precedent of the tyranny of terror, then the subsequent Stalin pushed it to an unprecedented peak; In the short 15 years of his rule, more than 6 million people died of famine and persecution in Soviet Russia, which is even more than the total death rate of France in World War I, and comparable to the epidemic outbreak in the Middle Ages. Just like the mass mutiny in the later stages of the siege of Moscow, it was soon staged in the Red Russian army stationed around Leningrad; Despite the resistance of a handful of ferocious diehards, they are destined to become fragile sandstone beneath the tsunami.

On January 17, after a radio announcement of total surrender, the new chairman of the Soviets, Beria, walked out of the underground bunker in Leningrad and surrendered to the Imperial Russian army with more than 100 exhausted Guards soldiers. The vast plains of Western Siberia were calmed down in a very short time, and the red blood clouds that had shrouded the land for 25 years seemed to be swept away by a hurricane. Those old people who had participated in the overthrow of the Romanov dynasty were now full of complicated and heavy feelings; The deceased are like this, the old days are reincarnated, what kind of fate will they be greeted in the future? (To be continued......)
