81_81266 "How many times has it been?" Accardo looked through the glass window of the Führer's mansion at the crowd of demonstrators chanting slogans outside, and asked Prime Minister Augustus behind him without looking back.

Augustus, with exhaustion written on his face, sat on the sofa and sighed: "My Führer, the year of continuous war, and in most cases the war that we provoked, has raised people's anti-war sentiments, and now many people are proposing to end the war against Great Britain. ”

"Didn't I always try to end this war? Didn't I do enough? We instigated the Japanese to go to war against the Soviet Union in order to delay the war with the Soviet Union, and I said at that time that the Japanese were not so high in combat and could not delay for a long time, but we still did not hesitate to let the Japanese fight the battle of Nomenkan!" Accardo angrily hammered his hand on the windowsill.

Accardo seemed a little angry, for he found that the war had gone out of his pre-arrangement, that he was familiar with less and less history, and that he could not analyze more and more. When Japan will declare war on the United States, and whether it will declare war on the United States now, he is not at all sure about these things.

"We ordered the use of the Provisional War Act to restrain the demonstrators, but it did not work well, because these people were not afraid of being taken to prison or even sent to concentration camps, but we did not dare to arrest these anti-war activists on a large scale, after all, we had to take into account the image of public opinion. Augustus replied helplessly.

Under these circumstances, the only way to end the war quickly was the landing battle on the British mainland, but even if it was fought there, it would not be possible to solve the problem quickly. The small number of troops that could be drawn did not seem to ease the people's antipathy to the war.

A year of war had already brought more than 100,000 casualties to Germany, and these casualties were not wounds that could be healed by a few more bags of flour and a few more margarine. Those families who shed blood and died are unlikely to rejoice in the victory on the front, and those who still have children fighting on the front line are unlikely to like the dividends brought by the war.

Of the more than 5 million troops, only about 700,000 people received family leave within a year, and many troops have not been able to return to their motherland for 10 months because of their strong combat effectiveness. All the generals knew that the current situation of the German team was not good, but they really couldn't think of a solution to the problem.

"Repression is not the way, we are the leaders of Germany elected by the people, not shameless people who do not care whether the people live or die. Accardo turned back and stopped looking at the civilians who were calling for an end to the war. For a moment he even had some envy of Hitler, who was able to suppress domestic opposition with forceful means.

However, he knew that it was just drinking to quench his thirst, and that the problems that should arise would appear sooner or later, and that the repression would only delay the time when the contradictions would erupt, and would not really solve the problems. This is the essential difference between him and Hitler: he is still able to look at things rationally, not as crazy as Hitler.

"How about having Merkel hold a press conference and declare that we are willing to end the war?" asked Accardo as he walked up to Augustus.

"No, you will lose the support of the capitalists who made the war money, and you will not necessarily end the war then. Augustus frowned and said, "At least, it is possible that the Soviets will not accept the armistice negotiations." ”

The British will not agree to peace talks, unless we withdraw from the British mainland, and then dismantle the navy, and then we will divide Germany, and then I will shoot myself in the head - maybe then the British will nod and agree to peace talks, but on the condition that the family will open it casually. Accardo thought hatefully.

Now Germany seems to have reached a dead end, and every front must be fought and won. These wars that had to be waged oppressed Germany with breathlessness, wanting to stop and finding that it could not stop the war as it wished. In the words of the popular Internet advertising slogan: "Can't stop at all!"

The war in Britain entered a vicious circle: if the Atlantic barrier was to be absolutely safe, it was necessary to control the British mainland, and as long as the British mainland was controlled, then the war would continue. Unless Germany survives until the collapse of Britain's overseas colonial system, it is doomed that the war will not be resolved quickly in the short term.

In order to completely bring down Britain, it is necessary to occupy the Suez Canal and threaten the Middle East, and in order to win the promise of the Jews, it is necessary to enter the Middle East - but once the troops enter the Middle East, then the core interests of the United States will be threatened, and the North African battlefield will only become larger because of the United States.

Although Germany thwarted the Soviet attack on the Eastern Front, the Soviets obviously would not surrender lightly, and the German army could only invest more combat forces in this situation to avoid a repetition of the battlefield situation. And Accardo knew that if he didn't get the battlefield on the Eastern Front, he would be the most fatal winner, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Accardo suddenly realized that it seemed that all the previous wars had been fought in vain, and Germany was still in an embattled situation, and it was still in an embarrassing situation that could be overturned at any time. Now the million-strong army in his hands seems to be victorious, but in fact, as long as there is a mess in a certain link, the Third Reich, which has been painstakingly managed, will collapse in an instant.

"Now this situation, we can only take one step at a time. Accardo was a little disheartened at the thought of this, and he walked back to his desk and said to Augustus with a wry smile. He is only 38 years old this year, and Anna has already dyed his hair three times, and he himself doesn't know why he couldn't think about it at the time, and it turned out to be so sad that he can't get rid of it now.

Those who want to be emperors from morning to night, who knows which of those emperors who have been famous for the ages does not get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to go to work and is still working overtime at 8 o'clock in the evening!

Speer's industrial reforms brought German industry to life in the midst of the war, and after taking over the seal of the German Minister of Industry, he increased German industrial production capacity by 7% in just one month, and this trend continued, and it was estimated that by the end of 1938 Germany's industrial production capacity would more than double that of 1937.

Prime Minister Augustus has been mainly responsible for domestic affairs this year, to stabilize the remnants of the Junker aristocracy, to encourage the people to endure the suffering caused by the war, but also to complete the pacification of the occupied areas, to adjust the small contradictions within the Axis countries, thinking of these work, Accardo is very eager to award a medal to this seventy-year-old man.

Merkel was largely in charge of foreign affairs, and as Foreign Minister of the Third Reich, he was probably one of the busiest men in Germany in 1937. He had to stabilize the increasingly uneasy Balkans, and at the same time he had to keep an eye on Finland, Portugal, Vichy France, and Britain in the north -- and crucially, he had taken the time to woo Turkey after these diplomatic missions...... Well, if you count the war of words with the angry Japanese diplomats, Merkel seems to be a little busier than Führer Accardo.

The intrigue between Gascoll and Heydrich in the infiltration and counter-infiltration of the Third Reich's spy agencies, and the spies on both sides come and go. Tens of thousands of German overseas spies were planted and controlled, surveilled and used, and the transmission of information was safely guaranteed. If it weren't for the war, what would these people do badly?

When we think about the commanders in chief of the Wehrmacht -- the logistical supply, battlefield transportation, and tactical arrangements of the more than 5 million troops, there is an urge to collapse. The work of arranging timetables for thousands of military trains every month is unimaginably large, not to mention that in most cases, after arranging the timetable of military trains, the personnel of the logistics department have to carefully inquire about what kind of materials are transported in each carriage.

"Redeploy three more divisions of Army Group B, which was stationed off the west coast of France, to the British mainland. Accardo made up his mind that he intended to settle the war in England before his own child was born: "Send a telegram to Admiral Rundstedt to end the Battle of London within 15 days." ”

Augustus held his chin and thought for a while, then nodded: "Now it seems that we can only find a way to end the battle of London in the British mainland, and then negotiate peace with the British in the north to give the people an explanation." ”

"That's it!" Accardo closed his eyes: "I hope that Rundstedt can win the battle of London quickly, so that at least 100,000 troops can go home for vacation, which can be regarded as relieving the current tension." ”

"In fact, the military-industrial complex is already beginning to mobilize for war readiness, and Speer has canceled his vacation in several industrial areas with the largest number of members of the Greater German Party, and has raised his salary by 30%. Augustus thought for a moment and added: "General Bock established the Afrika Korps to fight in North Africa to adopt a system of mercenary volunteers to eliminate the people's resistance to the war. ”

"Try it, it's better than not being able to deal with it. Accardo looked at the map, pressed his palm on the Atlantic, and said with difficulty: "Let Raeder call General Lutjance back." The naval fleet underwent rest and reorganization. Dönitz's submarine force has also reduced the size of the sea, so that the soldiers can go home for a few days to relax, the result of the blockade of Iceland is not ideal, it is better to let go and let the British royal family make trouble, I want to see what tricks these British can make trouble in Iceland!"

"Let Merkel go to France in person, and the unbreakable posture of the Axis countries still needs to be sufficient. Augustus nodded and said, "Actually, we don't have many allies, don't we?"
