Chapter 290 290 Berlin

On the one hand, Germany's expansion in Europe has made the United States restless, and on the other hand, Germany's every move in Asia is doing the United States a great favor. But Roosevelt always believed that Europe was the foundation of American interests, so he was more inclined to help Britain fight Germany back to its original shape.

However, because Congress was dragging him back, he could not find any other way for a while, but to continue to wait and see the changes in Europe, hoping that Britain and France could hold back the rhythm and give the United States time to respond.

Now Roosevelt was in a very conflicted mood: he hoped that Germany would hurt the British in one go, so that the United States or what he was promoting would be accepted by the British, so that the United States would get the benefits it coveted without blood, and on the other hand, he did not want the Germans to expand rapidly, and he was afraid that Germany would win the entire war before the United States reacted.

So Roosevelt had no choice but to use his personal influence to sell 400 American fighters to Britain in one go. These 400 P-36 fighters are the closest fighters in the world to the performance of the German foreign trade ME-109C fighters.

This fighter with a speed of 480 kilometers per hour, which is very close to the castrated version of the German export ME-109C fighter, although there is still a gap in some major performance, it can at least pull the gap between the two sides to the level of "can fight".

In order to get these advanced fighters to defend the airspace of the homeland, Britain had to come up with a large amount of foreign exchange to pay the frightening bill, of course, what is even more ironic is that Britain actually got 20 ME-109C fighters from Spain and Finland in batches, and also changed the livery to equip a flight squadron.

Such a painstaking effort was to be able to take back air supremacy from the hands of the Luftwaffe. Of course, this attempt ultimately failed, and in a few days of fierce air fighting, the Luftwaffe became more and more courageous, shooting down various British Air Force fighters, including the Dreadnought, P-36 and Me-109C, and the British lost a total of 410 fighters.

This also forced the British Air Force to look for more powerful weapons, and they chose a super fighter that was still in the design stage, which the British named the Hurricane. At their behest, the new Hurricane fighter jet reached speeds of up to 500 kilometers per hour and was armed with large-caliber cannons, and Britain had even begun to deploy production lines in Canada and on its own soil to prepare for the production of this more powerful fighter.

Of course, the United States did not sit idle, they invested their own designers, and finally designed the famous P-40 fighter in advance, but this fighter is still on the drawing paper, and like the Hurricane, it cannot be put into production immediately.

Accardo has brought new changes to the world, and engineers and scientists from all over the world have provided their countries with the most advanced science and technology in even more brutal circumstances. For example, the production of new aircraft carriers in the United Kingdom has already begun, and the segmented construction method of the German model has been adopted in some non-major superstructures, and this method has been fully implemented in the United States, and it is believed that mass production will begin soon.

Of course, while the world was trying to catch up with the pace of German science and technology, the Germans were not idle, and at the weapons test site on the outskirts of Berlin, 20 German helicopters took off to demonstrate to several generals of the logistics department of the Wehrmacht how to use helicopters to quickly deploy mountain troops.

All the generals present were stunned by the excellent performance of this new weapon, and 20 helicopters dropped 80 heavily armed German mountain soldiers on the target area 10 kilometers away in one go, and also hoisted 10 large-caliber mortars and more than 4 tons of combat materials. This qiē took only one hour, and in the past, it took at least one morning for these troops to complete the operational deployment by mules and horses.

To the applause, the German logistics forces announced the purchase of 2,000 of these helicopters and their successors, as well as the customization of safer and improved models for dignitaries such as the German Führer and Chancellor, as candidates for short-distance and rapid transfers.

Of course, the more secret real yàn was carried out in the mountains, and the new German weapon "rocket" had successfully carried out short-distance flights, and this new weapon changed its flight trajectory according to radio commands to attack the target, which was named "missile" by the Führer, that is, the conjunction of the guided missile.

The German government is quite dissatisfied with the disobedience of the United States, but in view of the fact that they now have very close and covert cooperation with the United States, they can only stop this kind of thing of the United States riding the wall. For example, after the start of World War II, the United States still left a large share of Middle Eastern oil exports to Italy, Germany's ally.

This kind of obvious deal made Britain helpless, first, because the navy was defeated one after another, and the British government transferred the Mediterranean Fleet, which led the British military in the entire Mediterranean region to be significantly inferior to Italy's naval strength, and second, because the United States and Italy have not declared war on Britain at present, and rash intervention would make the two countries turn to support Germany.

But even a fool knows that Italy imports at least a third of its oil to sell to Germany at a high price. Therefore, the U.S. government has always been like a good old man who fights, ostensibly saying that he hopes everyone will stop fighting, but handing a pistol to everyone who quarrels.

The tragedy is that everyone has to give this hypocritical Uncle Sam some face, because Germany, Britain, Italy, Japan, and France do not want to push the United States into the arms of others, they want to curry favor as much as possible, and they do not want to turn their faces until they have to. This is the enviable geographical advantage of the United States, and this is the unique skill of the United States to stand proudly in the two world wars.

But all the Germans in Berlin trusted their all-powerful Führer more, and they pinned their hopes of winning the war on the victory of the Accadors. Recently, the German government introduced a series of economic reforms, borrowing some of the elements of Roosevelt's New Deal, and introducing the next phase of its development plan.

Taking advantage of the expansion space of Poland and the Netherlands, Germany's economy had begun to slowly get back on track, because of the disguised brutal plundering of part of the Polish occupation zone, the development and utilization of western Poland was soon on the right track. On the other hand, the German government also took advantage of the plundering advantages established by repeated victories to repay a large number of Mifu bonds, and in one fell swoop the German government got out of the financial crisis.

On the one hand, with the genius duo of Augustus and Schacht at the helm, Germany finally did not embark on the war economic model kidnapped by the Junker aristocracy, but systematically distinguished between civilian enterprises and military industrial enterprises, adopted a more efficient planned economic strategy for the whole of Germany, and put German agriculture and light industry, which had been in a state of slow development, into the fast lane of rapid development.

On the other hand, the German people, who had received material satisfaction, threw themselves into the construction of heavy industry with higher enthusiasm for production, doubling the value of Germany's industrial output in one fell swoop. By means of high pressure, Germany established a well-laid out national industrial and agricultural structure: the local focus was on the development of heavy industry and centralized automated agriculture, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Austria developed light industry, supplemented by the Netherlands, and supplemented by automated farms and light industry in western Poland, while predatory agricultural production was developed in central Poland.

This strategy of development allowed the whole of Germany to function efficiently, and the only people who were squeezed were central Poland, even western Poland was the beneficiary group - this arrangement reduced the population of the opponents of German rule to a manageable level, and won Germany a stable rear environment.

On January 11, 1938, the Berlin Congress, under the auspices of Chancellor Augustus, passed a bill approving in the form of law the Tiyì of the Greater German Party, which defined the delimitation of the Greater German nation and was of great guiding significance.

Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, the northeastern part of France, and the Polish occupation zone were all the traditional spheres of activity of the Greater German nation, and that these spheres should and must all be under the rule of the German government. And for the sake of the absolute security of this great German national territory, Germany must control a much larger area.

And in order to completely preserve the territory, the Wehrmacht will be expanded to 7 million, and in the coming peacetime it should also be maintained at 3 million. In this document, Germany will continue to produce military supplies in order to ensure complete German conquest of these regions.

In another report reporting on Germany's achievements, it was claimed that in the past six months, despite being at war, Germany has produced 36.9 million tons of steel, built 29 trains, laid more than 7,000 kilometers of roads and railways, and put dozens of automobile and aircraft production lines into use.

In his speech to the Reichstag, Augustus proudly declared that in 1937 German economic growth had maintained a 20 percent rate. The people are completely self-sufficient in daily necessities and food, and in major cities, electricity generation has more than doubled last year. In the zone, Germany has built a further 21 thermal power plants, providing a reliable power supply to various factories.

To the applause, Augustus announced to everyone that the Reich Führer Accardo Rudolf in the Stone Castle would return to Berlin in a few days, and formally accept the surrender of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands at the Führer's residence, formally annexing the Netherlands to the Third Reich.

Everyone was shouting Accardo's name in the mountains, and everyone was shouting the slogan Long live the Führer. It took the Germans only four months to fight the situation that took them four years to fight in World War I - and in some respects, they even looked like they were better. And this qiē was brought by one person, and this person was Accardo Rudolph, the supreme ruler of the empire.
