Chapter 236

In this war, Europe was able to form a coalition army largely because of the good offices of the Pope.

Without the religious fervor of the Pope, who called on the nations of Europe to form a new crusade, the coalition would not have been formed.

Well, now, the Pope, who used his influence to actively wage war, was the first to compromise.

Ribbentrop thought for a moment after seeing off the drunken Zheng Sen, and then walked to the telegraph room.

No sooner had he walked into the telegraph room than Ribbentrop changed his mind again.

"Prepare the airship, I'm going back to Berlin." Ribbentrop gave the order, and his men immediately helped him prepare the airship.

Soon the main officers of the front, as well as the main ministers of the country, returned to Berlin.

A group of people at the highest level in Germany sat in the conference room, and there were not many of them, just about 30 people.

But they are the brains of Germany, in charge of everything in Germany.

"Gentlemen, gather you from all parts of the empire, and delay your precious time.

It was because Ribbentrop brought us two pieces of news, one was that the Pope had abandoned us, and he personally persuaded the captured Swiss soldiers to fight for the Ming Dynasty.

Now those Swiss soldiers are fighting for the Ming in Baghdad, and the Kurds will not be able to hold it. It is estimated that in the next few days, the Ming Dynasty will occupy Baghdad.

Their oil fields in the Middle East will be more stable. ”

As soon as Ashi's words landed, there was a "buzz" and "buzz" sound below.

Before the war, it was the Pope who shouted the most, but now ...... It was the Pope who was the first to compromise. This upsets many devout Christians!

"Be quiet!

There is a second piece of news, which is also not good news.

The Ming army may attack Gibraltar in July, if the Ming army successfully takes Gibraltar in close combat.

The mighty Ming fleet would enter the Atlantic, and at worst it would be ...... By the end of the year, the British would have surrendered, and the French would probably have surrendered as well. ”

After Ah Xi finished speaking, he glanced at the people in the room.

There was another "buzz" and "buzz" sound below!

This one was even more explosive news, once the Ming army entered the Atlantic. The first to be attacked certain Britain!

Britain is an island nation surrounded by the sea, and London is right at the mouth of the River Thames.

Once the powerful Ming Navy enters the Atlantic, there is no way to stop it with the existing European navy.

At this time, the surrender of Britain and France was basically a sure thing.

After all, they have too many factories by the sea.

Even if the artillery can't be fired, the Ming army still has planes.

The war has come to this point, and everyone knows what the war is now.

It's no longer a hundred years ago, when you only needed food to fight.

Today's war is a war of a country's comprehensive national strength.

No matter how brave the army on the front line is, it also needs the factories in the rear to produce all kinds of guns, ammunition and all kinds of baggage materials.

Once the factories in the rear are destroyed, no matter how powerful the front is, there is no way to fight without ammunition and supplies.

All of you here are at the highest level in Germany, and they all understand that Germany, France and England are the main forces in this war.

Once Britain and France withdrew from the war, then ...... It was absolutely impossible for Germany to fight against the Ming Dynasty alone and win the battle.

Defeated, a word that no one wants to mention. Surrender is a symbol of humiliation.

Ashi didn't speak, just watched his subordinates "buzz" and "buzz".

"Gentlemen, we must negotiate a countermeasure so that Germany will not lose too much in the war." Stauffenberg stood up and said.

There was silence below, and everyone knew how to get Germany to reduce its losses.

But no one wants to say it!

Because as long as the word surrender comes out of one's own mouth, then ...... Don't even think about raising your head in this life.

Moreover, there is a high probability that future generations will not want to raise their heads.

Sometimes that's how it goes, everybody knows how to go the right way and where the right direction is.

But no one wants to say it!

Ah Xi looked at his silent subordinates, and a group of people were constantly silent. There was silence in the huge conference room!

"The Ming Empire has put forward the conditions of an armistice, saying that as long as we withdraw our troops from Russia and launch an attack on the French, then the Ming will recognize us as their allies.

Germany will not be attacked by the Ming Dynasty, they will guarantee the territorial integrity of Germany, and they will not harm the interests of Germany.

This is the condition put forward by the Great Honglu of the Ming Empire! ”

Ribbentrop reluctantly stood up and said.

Still no one spoke, and everyone's eyes were on Ashi. Since you are now the head of state, it is up to you to say what you can't say.

Ah Xi didn't speak, he was looking at his subordinates to see which of these people in power was responsible.

"Marshal Moltke, how is our army, can we defeat the Ming army?" Herman said suddenly.

Everyone's eyes are on Moltke again!

Moltke looked left and right, his bald head glistening in the light of the crystal lamp.

Helplessly, Moltke glared at Herman!

Lao Tzu threw your son into the well, or fucking slept with your wife. Actually at this time, such a whole man.

"Uh......!

At present, our army and the Ming army are in a state of confrontation, and there is no actual contact between the two armies.

Naturally, there will be no war! ”

"Can we launch an offensive and defeat the Ming army?" Herman asked again.

Moltke glanced at Herman and began to wonder where he had offended the Minister of the Interior.

"As far as I know, our army, plus the Allies, is more than twice as large as the Ming army in person.

With such a big advantage, we can't launch an attack to defeat the Ming army, but let the Ming army blackmail us? ”

Seeing that Moltke didn't speak, Herman asked.

Moltke took a deep breath and said: "Although the Ming army and the Russian army are small in number, they are the side that occupies the initiative on the battlefield.

Because they have tanks, planes, and much more ferocious artillery support than we do.

For example, in the last battle of Smolensk, after our army consumed three bases of ammunition, there were huge problems with logistical supply.

The front-line soldiers simply did not get enough ammunition supplies.

As for the Ming army, their ammunition loss was two to three times that of ours, but their shells still rained down on our positions.

This shows that there is no problem with their logistical support at all.

The reason why there is such a big gap is that our last 100-odd kilometers of logistics supply relies on animal power.

A large herd of horse-drawn carts, ox carts, is doing such work.

Even so, our convoys would be bombed and strafed by the Ming army from time to time.

The losses on the road are very large!

In many cases, troops were only able to rely on night transport to keep the front line recharged. So, we had to stock up on a lot of supplies close to the front line.

But once these places were discovered by the Ming army, they would immediately attract bombers to bomb them. Sometimes the losses are also very heavy.

Now we can only rely on the rapid supply of night airships. This is a drop in the bucket for the front line, which is extremely expensive.

The small light rails of the Ming army can be laid up to fifty kilometers from the battlefield.

We don't have planes to bomb them, because their planes and anti-aircraft guns can easily shoot down our airships.

Even for the last fifty kilometers, they had trucks and tractors. Their soldiers, supplies, etc., can be sent to the front line almost without restrictions.

Our soldiers are fighting with flesh and steel.

The only thing that can be counted on is the field fortifications.

In fact, our army has lost the ability to take the initiative in field conditions.

What we can do is maintain the existing front, and if ...... If the Ming army does not launch a large-scale attack. Moltke finished speaking and glanced at Herman.

"One more thing, the Hebrews and Austria-Hungaryians on the central front are finished.

There was a huge hole in the central front, which was too large for the Polish army to fill in, and it played a very limited role.

We all know that Poland has the most well-trained army. They were all consumed at the beginning of the war, either killed by the Ming or captured by the Ming.

Now the combat effectiveness of this Polish army is ......, and we have no bottom.

If the Ming army once again assaulted the central front, the Polish army would most likely not be able to hold its position.

In this way, the flanks of the positions on the southern flank of our army were exposed. Once the Ming army inserted along this gap, the consequences were devastating. ”

Moltke said as he looked at Herman again.

Everyone was moved again, and this was the personal admission of the chief of the German General Staff that the German army had lost its offensive capability.

If you lose the ability to attack, how can you attack.

I am afraid that if we continue to fight, Poland will fall, and the rest will depend on how the German army fights the defense of the Reich.

"FΓΌhrer, since our army has lost its offensive capability, I think we should make peace with the Ming Dynasty.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should argue with Daming on the basis of reason and strive for greater rights and interests for us. Herman turned to Assi.

"What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get it at the negotiating table. Now Daming's proposal is the best condition I can get. ”

Ribbentrop replied coldly!

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌβ€ Herman did not continue to speak.

"All right, gentlemen.

Now that everyone understands the current situation of the Empire, let's start voting. Stand up who do not agree with the surrender of the Empire! ”

Ashi had no choice but to start voting.

No one stood up, and the big guys sat up straight.

"Well, then, those who agree with the surrender of the Empire, stand up!" Ashi took a deep breath, he didn't want to say the word surrender, but ...... The army is not angry, and he has nothing to do.

"Hulala" was the sound of chairs moving, and almost everyone stood up.

This almost, excluding Kong Tingxun.

Ah Xi glanced at Kong Tingxun and didn't say anything.

"Now that everyone has agreed, then we have to start formal negotiations with Daming.

Ribbentrop, I'll leave this matter to you. Based on the existing conditions of the Ming Dynasty, try to strive for a little dignity and interests for the empire. ”

Ashi is also very helpless, there is no way!

The army can't beat people, what can they do?

This was the end of the Supreme Council that decided the fate of Germany.

After the meeting, Kong Tingxun spoke for a while in Moltke, mainly on the use of anti-tank weapons on the front line.

The answer was very bad, and the existing anti-tank weapons were too close to each other.

The only thing that could be counted on was the eighty-eight cannons, and as a result, the Ming army planes in the sky waited like goshawks.

As long as there is an outcrop of eight guns, it will be surrounded by a group of planes and bombed.

At the same time, the artillery fire on the ground will also attack the 88 artillery with all its might. Under this level of attack, the 88 cannons that cannot be moved are simply targets.

The soldier who was responsible for manipulating the 88 guns laughed at himself as cannon fodder.

Because most of them can't keep the whole corpse, and some of them have simply evaporated from the world.

The lost Kong Tingxun walked out of Moltke's place, and as soon as he returned home, he saw Stauffenberg and Hermann sitting in the living room.

"Let's go, let's go to the study." After all, the living room is a large public place, and it is a bit inappropriate to say something confidential.

Walking into the study, Kong Tingxun threw himself into the sofa tiredly.

"The Empire is going to surrender, and Ribbentrop will rush back to Athens tonight.

The FΓΌhrer meant to accept the terms of the armistice of the Ming Dynasty in its entirety. So the negotiations will be quick, and we will also be quick to attack the French in the south.

The Ming and the Russians will watch the tiger fight from the other side. Look at us and the French, fighting to the last drop of blood.

Our plans to South America are about to change, and the first people are not expected to have reached Buenos Aires yet.

Time is running out! Kong Tingxun shook his head helplessly, and the sudden arrival of the surrender news messed up all his calculations.

"It's better that we don't go to South America, just follow the Ming Dynasty." Stauffenberg lit a cigarette.

"Humph!" Kong Tingxun snorted contemptuously.

"I am a Ming person, and I have met the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty a few times.

Do you think that if you surrender to the Ming Dynasty, you will let Germany go?

The Ming will watch us tear apart with the French, and after using us to consume Napoleon, they will eat us along with Napoleon.

Li Xiao, how could he allow his enemy to live well.

If you don't believe me, look at what happened to the Indians and you will know that what I say is true.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to become the hegemon of this world, the biggest stumbling block now is Europe.

And Germany, France, and Britain, the strongest in Europe, will not talk about Britain.

As long as the Ming occupy Gibraltar and the Ming navy rushes into the Atlantic, they will be the first to surrender.

If we fight with France again, we will be swallowed by Da Ming in one bite.

Then Europe, it's really finished. There is no longer a force that can stop the Ming Empire from dominating the world. Kong Tingxun rubbed his aching temples and said.

"Will that happen?"

"that. Definitely! Definitely! ”

"So what do we do?"

"We ......! I felt that we should contact Napoleon. Kong Tingxun said quietly.

"Contact Napoleon, you mean to say...... Snitch? ”

"Yes, to Napoleon. Let the French army be prepared, and then ...... The French will stall for us.

As long as we delay for another half a year, we will have enough ships and forces to go to South America. ”
