Chapter 1127 1128 Celebration Banquet

"Saudi Arabia has joined the Axis family and integrated the Middle East, and the Axis will become the world's most energy-rich and brightest world cooperation organization. Accardo raised his glass at a celebration of a strategic victory in the Middle East. Around him are groups of familiar faces all over the world, a group of people who are enough to change the world with the power in their hands.

"Cheers to the Führer's victory!" said Krupp, raising his glass. His Krupp industrial group has now become a veritable German artillery giant, and just now at a banquet, the Wehrmacht was willing to pay 3,000 tons of gasoline as an advance payment, and once again ordered a full 3,000 guns of various types.

The Krupp company is now thriving, with workers working in three shifts a day, and a steady stream of tanks and cannons being sent to the front. Compared with the withering 1919, Krupp's net worth has soared by at least 50 times, and his current profit rate is even faster than grabbing money.

One month ago, after Germany had quelled the turmoil in Italy, the Italian authorities had ordered 100,000 G43 semi-automatic rifles and 1 million Mauser 98K bolt rifles from Krupp's Belgian firearms branch on the grounds that weapons were standardized and generalized within the Axis powers.

When Krupp raised his glass, another person who immediately raised his glass in celebration was the famous Mercedes Smit. The designer, who won the Luftwaffe's weapons order and pioneered an all-metal single-wing fighter, was typical of the entire Reich. Although his ME-109 fighter did not compete with the FW-190D in Germany, and the advanced ME-109A and 109B were discontinued after less than 1,000 units were produced, the German export ME-109C set a record that shocked the world.

Yes, the ME-109C fighter turned out to be an intra-Axis export fighter and was produced until today, a year later. Having undergone numerous minor improvements, the ME-109C became the best aircraft used by the major belligerents, having endured numerous vital air battles. To date, 11,000 such aircraft have been produced and are widely in service with the Axis and Allied countries.

The countries equipped with this fighter include Germany, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Romania, Finland, Switzerland, China, Turkey, Israel, and the African region - if you include American smuggling, this aircraft can be considered a world fighter in the whole way.

It is no wonder that Mercedes is such a passionate supporter of Führer Accardo, whose aircraft factory went from the brink of bankruptcy to the world's most famous fighter production company, and his net worth has increased even more than Krupp, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is 100 times more.

Since BMW was sold by the White Orchid Group, it has now become a major force in German military vehicles and civilian vehicles, and Mercedes-Benz, which has also become the world's largest automobile manufacturer, is also a beneficiary of this war. Behind every politician at the banquet was a huge interest group, who sang enthusiastically and raised their glasses to Accardo not for anything but for their ever-valuable property.

Dominis was equally smiling, leaning against a table next to Field Marshal Brauchitsch, the commander of the German Army, who had rushed back to Berlin from the front. The noisy venue is not suitable for conversation, and the two of them just talk casually about the topics they are interested in.

Dominis was the first to speak, smiling and asking Marshal Brauchitsch, who had taken a sip of French wine: "Thanks to Marshal Rommel, his brilliant victory in the Middle East has also fulfilled me in another way...... I have been replacing my teacher, Mr. Augustus, for a long time, and I will not be able to give an account to the Führer myself if I do not have some convincing results. ”

"Mr. Augustus is an admirable Imperial Prime Minister, but the one he has cultivated is no less impressive. Brauchitsch smiled and replied, "Everyone knows that Mr. Augustus was an important minister who followed the Führer to open up the Third Reich, but you are a real master of development and conservatism. ”

This sentence is not a compliment, although Augustus is a legendary minister, he still has the unchangeable limitations of that era. As a person who grew up with Accardo and accompanied the expansion of the Third Reich, it was inevitable that he was more than pioneering, but he was slightly short-sighted about development and construction. Dominis, on the other hand, has focused on healing the wounds of war since taking office, and has played an incalculable role in stabilizing the entire empire and popularizing policies that benefit the people.

However, it can never be said that Dominis was a good helper, because he attached too much importance to construction and development, and his support for the army was not as unsparing as Augustus. Therefore, with the death of Augustus, the center of gravity of the entire empire gradually shifted in the direction of reconstruction. Of course, Brauchitsch preferred the old Augustus more, but he could not pull the old chancellor out of the coffin.

Dominis knew that his policies had helped Accardo stabilize his rear and offended the Wehrmacht forces fighting in all directions. At this time, he didn't have to fight for anything, but smiled at Brauchitsch and said: "I know the gap between myself and my teacher, and I also know that the military has suffered a lot of grievances under my policy tilt. This victory in the Middle East has given me more chips to use, so I am willing to extend my olive branch to the military. ”

Brauchitsch nodded, he would not think that this was an olive branch extended by Dominis to himself, even if it was an olive branch, it was definitely an olive branch that the Chancellor had to extend under the pressure of the Führer. He just stretched out a hand: "5000 King Tiger tanks!"

"Okay! I'll give you 6,000 vehicles!" After a series of policies to stabilize the rear, many of the occupied areas of the Third Reich have begun to gradually resume production, and Dominis now has more forces than Augustus, mobilizing to give more support to the front when necessary.

"You're so generous. Shall we have a drink for the Army demand order that Mr. Chancellor has finally released?" Brauchitsch heard the number he wanted, and did not hide his excitement, raised his glass, and said to the new German Chancellor.

A clear crisp sound drowned out the band's melodious music, and more shouts of the Führer Long Live were heard, surrounding the Führer Accardo, who was surrounded by the stars and the moon.

"God forbid! the Führer even remembers us in France...... I don't really know what to say. There have been many misunderstandings between our peoples, but I believe that in the future, we will unite closely under the banner of the Axis powers and work together for greater European integration! Long live the Franco-German Alliance!"

Not to be outdone, the northern British were represented by the ruling Governor Neville himself. He stood beside Accardo, and as if he had been a life-saving cure, he gave him half of the Middle East's oil production as a political achievement, and cheered: "Thank you to the Führer for letting go of his prejudice against Britain." Although we have experienced war, peace is the unshakable melody after all. We thank the Führer for his generosity! With the aid of Germany, the reconstruction of Britain will be absolutely smooth! Let us toast to the brotherhood of the Axis powers!"

The representative of Finland also raised his glass, and this long-time ally of Germany did not need to say so many flattering words at this moment, because no amount of nonsense could be as angry as the weapons of 200,000 Finnish soldiers who fought valiantly on the Soviet-German front. Accardo has always spared no effort to help Finland and Romania, and it is precisely for this reason that the two powerful countries of France and Great Britain are not as important as Finland and Romania, two weak countries, to really help.

The Romanian delegates were also beaming, following the Germans in reclaiming a traditional sphere of influence next to Ukraine, and as an oil exporter, they received large sums of money and aid from Germany – and now they are probably the most economically beautiful country in Europe.

Long live the Führer's shouts wave after wave, wave after wave. The banquet was full of laughing politicians and socialites in decent evening dresses. In the midst of one such victory after another, any insane indulgence seems to make sense.

......

In the midst of the raging waves of the Atlantic, a large German destroyer was breaking the waves. On its mast, the radar is constantly turning, and the invisible beams are spreading into the distance, like eyes, looking for any enemy target that comes within its range.

Behind the destroyer, not far from was a much larger battleship, and the newest German cruiser was just as busy as it was. Because they were the outposts of a large fleet, they were responsible for alerting all the situations ahead, and providing early warning information to the main force of the high seas fleet in the rear - this fleet was the German aircraft carrier fleet that appeared in Iceland, and the fleet of three aircraft carriers led by Lütjens, Zeppelin, Reich, and Prussia.

And the direction in which they are now sailing is obviously not to return to Wilhelmshaven, Germany. And on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Reich, Lütjans finally uncovered the mystery of this voyage: "Gentlemen, our main combat mission this time to sea is not to bomb Iceland, but to bomb Iceland as a pretext, as the first guerrilla fleet of the Empire, to launch a symbolic battle against the east coast of the United States!"
