After the meeting, in a highly confidential conference room, Zhang Fan was having some intimate conversations with Dönitz, the commander of the German submarine forces. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Does Lord Dönitz think that Germany can achieve the final victory?" Zhang Fan asked straight to the point.

Dönitz's expression couldn't help but change when he heard this, "General Zhang Fan must pay attention when he speaks, even if you are a hero of the empire, you must pay attention to the trouble that comes from your mouth!" ”

Seeing Dönitz so nervous, Zhang Fan couldn't help but smile, "Your Excellency the General has been overly concerned, in addition to some previous private transactions, the most important thing in this meeting is to understand His Excellency Dönitz's views on the current situation!" ”

"Oh! Listening to General Zhang Fan's tone, it seems that he is not optimistic about the future of the empire! Dönitz couldn't help but probe it.

"In fact, His Excellency Dönitz knows better than me that the current Germany is only a temporary glory, Germany is only a land power, and we cannot fight a war of attrition with these powers without colonies. If the war drags on to a later stage, the entire German economy will definitely be dragged down! After all, the current Germany is equivalent to challenging the whole world, and once the United States enters the war, with the huge industrial volume of the United States, Germany will be consumed alive! “

Hearing such an astonishing remark, Dönitz couldn't help frowning, thought for a while and sighed and said, "It seems that many people have foreseen the fate of Germany, in fact, many people in China do not have much hope for Germany to provoke a world war like this, after all, Germany's population and economic aggregate are limited, and in the end it will be dragged to death like World War I!" While the Führer's blitzkrieg was effective, our enemies were not fools, and they would learn our tactics and then treat them the way they would. But now the whole of Germany is dragged onto this crazy chariot, there is no one to brake it, anyone who tries to stop this trend will be crushed to slag, and only when there is great resistance can this mad chariot stop, but by that time, I don't know whether Germany will still exist! But as soldiers, we can only fight to the death for the empire until the last moment! ”

Seeing that Dönitz had relented, Zhang Fan knew that as he thought, Dönitz and other German generals were actually worried about the future of Germany, but as German soldiers, they could not interfere in politics, and could only serve the country with death on the battlefield.

"His Excellency Dönitz is worried about what I feared, Germany is now fighting on two fronts, and the Soviet Union is a huge country, and it is impossible to defeat it all at once! Historically, even Napoleon was defeated by the bitter cold weather of Russia! Once the war drags on for too long and enters the winter, the German armored force assault will inevitably not be able to be launched, and the German soldiers are not very accustomed to such a cold weather, and such weather is like a fish in water for the Russians, they will inevitably launch a ferocious counterattack, and the Reich is likely to be unable to withstand such a ferocious attack, so that once it becomes a tug-of-war, a large number of our living forces will be dragged to the Soviet Union, and then the elite of the empire will be consumed alive on that cold frozen soil! ”

After hearing such a sensational inference from Zhang Fan, and based on the current war situation, Dönitz had to admit in his heart that what Zhang Fan said was likely to become a reality. Thinking that so many imperial soldiers might die in battle, Dönitz couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart!

"What do you think of Your Excellency Zhang Fan?"

"In fact, Germany is indeed involuntarily in the present, and no one can stop this speeding chariot unless it hits its head and bleeds! This is the war that the German people hope for now, and only when the war is lost, the people will be completely disgusted and disappointed by the war, and then it will be possible for Germany to obtain a new peace! But this is no longer a World War, and the Great Powers will pretend to be merciful to Germany! The Great Powers will only attack Germany fiercely, and they will not give up until they eat and wipe their minds! At that time, the German people will be plunged into a truly bottomless abyss, and I think that Lord Dönitz can imagine how miserable it must be for Germany, which has been carved up by the Great Powers! ”

It seems that seeing that Germany was divided by the foreign powers in later generations, and the people's lives were extremely miserable, Dönitz's face couldn't help but turn pale. For an upright soldier like him, it is undoubtedly the greatest shame that the country he protects is arbitrarily eaten by other powers!

"Then what does Your Excellency Zhang Fan think we should do? Watching the empire slide into the abyss is unbearable for soldiers like me! Since Your Excellency has said so much, you must have your own considerations and plans! ”

"That's exactly what I'm talking to Lord Dönitz! Our navy is basically not able to play a big role in such a war, but this also means that the navy can retain most of its combat strength. And these were the bargaining chips that Germany had in negotiations with other countries after its defeat in the war. As long as we can keep a strong navy, we can deter the Anglo-American coalition, and Britain and the United States and the Soviet Union, a communist country, have irreconcilable contradictions, and it is impossible for them to watch the whole of Europe fall into the hands of the Soviet Union, as long as we use this as a threat to demand that Britain and the United States unilaterally negotiate peace with Germany, and then form a balance of power with the Soviet Union, we can guarantee the independence of Germany after the war. Of course, if Britain and the United States do not agree, the last navy of the empire will intercept the British and American navies, prevent them from landing on the European continent, and give the entire European continent to the Russians! Although this was a naked threat, Britain and the United States absolutely did not dare to give the Russians the opportunity to enter Europe. So they will definitely compromise. ”

After listening to Zhang Fan's analysis, Dönitz couldn't help but nodded, this was indeed the only way to maintain Germany's independence after the defeat of the war. It's a risky move, but it's a good way to do it.

"I agree with His Excellency Zhang Fan's opinion in principle, but how to implement it still needs to be talked about in detail! After all, now Germany's main resources are tilted towards the Air Force and Army, and the Navy has basically been shelved! ”

"That's why I'm doing private trade, with these captured supplies, even without the support of the government, we can make a strong navy, after all, there will be no chance of a navy at all during this time! This is exactly the time for the Navy to expand aggressively. ”

Zhang Fan took a break, took a sip of water and continued: "And my partner Zero can be of great help. Recently Zero has acquired new abilities, which allow her to drastically modify various warships. And my side has captured a large number of cargo ships and some escort formations, as long as zero is slightly modified, it is a usable naval fleet! All I lacked was skilled naval personnel and a lot of ammunition supplies! ”

After thinking for a while, Dönitz said: "I have understood Your Excellency's plan, this is a win-win situation, both for the Imperial Navy and for the continued expansion of Your Excellency's fleet. When the time comes, we can coerce Britain and the United States to accept a peace agreement that guarantees Germany's independence! I will arrange someone to deal with this matter, please rest assured General Zhang Fan! ”

"That's great, thank you Commander Dönitz for your understanding! May we all work together to fight for the future of Germany! ”

"This is the duty of soldiers such as me, and it is incumbent upon me to do so!"
