Battle of the Third Reich

Bulgaria has changed to a new ambassador who is pro-Germany, which is also what the Germans expected. If you don’t know whether to advance or retreat at this time, Poland’s end is an example.

Bulgaria is a standard Slavic nation. Because of its geographical location, apart from its Balkan rivals, few European countries pay attention to it.

In history, Bulgaria was a wall-peaner. At that time, Bulgarian Tsar Boris III (the third Bulgarian kingdom became independent in 1908, the Bulgarian prince was upgraded to Bulgarian Tsar, and Boris III was the second generation.) The reason for agreeing to fall to the Nazis Germany is because the latter has already won the Balkan Peninsula and is willing to return Bulgarian territories occupied in previous wars to Bulgarian hands. In history, Hitler did fulfill his commitment, and Boris III also won the title of "liberator".

However, after Bulgaria joined the Axis Powers, only a small number of troops were sent to participate in several German military operations. Most of the time, only the borders and railways were opened to the German army. And when the Eastern Front war broke out, the tsar refused to send troops to participate in the German invasion on the grounds that the Bulgarian people were also Slavs. At the end of the war, after the Soviets on the Eastern Front began a full counterattack, the Bulgarian army resisted only a few areas in the face of the Red Army crossing the defense border. The majority of the people chose to welcome in the way, and then there was a bloodless coup in the capital. The Bulgarian army did not hesitate to turn the muzzle and wage war on Germany, its original ally. Therefore, in Xu Jun's strategic layout, this country is a weak point in the pile of Balkan **** that needs close attention.

Witnessing Germany's victory in the European War, the attitude of the high-level Bulgarian government towards Germany can be said to have undergone a 180-degree change. The Tsar once said, "My army is pro-Germany, my people are pro-Russian, the middle class is pro-British and French, the queen and the prince are pro-Italian (Queen Anna is the Italian princess), and only I and Bulgaria support Bulgaria. ". Now the political will of the Bulgarian military corps, middle class and members of the royal family has been unified, that is, to join the German-led European Union, and several Bulgarian interest groups have been tied together. This is something that Hitler has not been able to do in history.

Based on the performance of the Bulgarian government now, calling them German **** running dogs, that's nothing. However, compared with the government and the military, the Bulgarian people's attitude towards Germany is relatively dull. The Bulgarian people's tradition of getting close to Russia cannot be reversed in a year or two.

This is an agricultural country in the traditional sense. Even weapons cannot be produced by themselves, most industrial products need to be imported from abroad, and the payment is deducted with rich agricultural products. But it is such a country that is almost entirely economically dependent on Germany. Historically, it has always been hooked up with the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. Xu Jun is very surprised that Hitler could tolerate this country for so long and did not brag it with Romania.

This time with the ambassador to the Prime Minister's Palace, there is also a special envoy sent by the king, this is a seemingly premature Bulgarian army colonel named Christo Petrov. The special envoy brought the sincere greetings and blessings of Bulgarian Tsar Boris III to the head of the empire, and the tsar expressed his honour to receive the invitation of the head of state. He will take his wife Queen Anna to participate in the victory celebration in Berlin on New Year.

The Italian king signed a secret contract with Xu Jun. I don’t know what he wrote in the letter to the princess. Now the Bulgarian queen is very fond of the new German head of state. Of course, the handsome appearance of the head of state has also added a lot to himself.

Boris III is an avid train fan, not the kind of train house squatting in the backyard of the house to play the railway model, but the kind of high-end player who likes to operate the physical objects on the spot. It is said that the king once got the "Orient Express" company to issue a notice , Requesting international trains to pass through Bulgaria to prohibit the king from approaching the cab. In addition to driving the train in person, he also likes to collect locomotives, but for a king, this is also a harmless hobby.

Xu Jun prepared a gift for the king, a brand new RB50 locomotive, and in order to meet the royal identity of the other party, the locomotive was also carefully decorated. Xu Jun has not seen the real thing, but has seen the photos, anyway, I feel that there are parts with precious metal coating and polishing.

The RB50 is currently the best steam locomotive in Germany and the main force of railway transportation in the Third Reich. Since its birth in 1979, Germany has produced thousands of such steam locomotives at this time. A total of 3,164 standard locomotives of this model were produced in history. This series of locomotives were everywhere on the railroads of Europe and the Soviet Union in the late 1940s. Democratic Germany has been used until the late 1970s. Its improved version was even sold by Romania to China.

Xu Jun made some comments on the German railway system, but this system is too large and too precise. It can really be said to move the whole body, so it can only be improved step by step and step by step. The railway transportation system in Germany is quite developed, but historically, the domestic railway transportation capacity in Germany has always been in short supply, and it is often in an overloaded state.

The railway gauge problem on the Eastern Line has severely limited the German railway capacity in the Soviet Union. This even directly affected the German military operations. The front line was often caught in a shortage of supplies, and a large number of urgently needed parts and supplies were Backlog in the depots of various railway hubs. This situation must be changed, otherwise history will not repeat itself.

Germany needs to produce the RB52 war locomotive that has proven its value in history as soon as possible. This is a simplified version of the RB50 locomotive in wartime. RB52 simplifies the vehicle structure, uses a lot of cheap materials, and reduces the process difficulty. In addition to reducing a lot of precious man-hours, it also allows ordinary skilled workers to participate in the processing. One of the most important and special advantages of this locomotive is that it can withstand the terrible low temperature of the Eastern Front, and can operate normally at extreme temperatures of minus thirty or forty degrees, so that after the end of the war, a large number of German RB52 locomotives were And reserved by Eastern European countries.

In addition to locomotives, the Germans also needed a universal cargo chassis, which can quickly replace the load-bearing axles to adapt to the unique gauge used by the Soviet Union (the Soviet Union uses a 1520 mm wide track, while the European common gauge is 1435 mm.), which This method is very common in future international trains. With the help of special machinery, it only takes ten minutes before and after. In this way, when the Germans counterattack into the Soviet territory, they can directly use the Soviet railway network without laying new tracks, which can save a lot of resources.

The Soviet army may also destroy the railway system after losing, just as they often did in history, then Germany can only re-lay the rails. In this way, Germany needs to prepare a whole set of modern railway machinery, which can quickly lay the railway on the front line and repair the damaged lines in the battle. Germany can also make some improvements in building materials, such as the use of cement prefabricated sleepers, which can be standardized on the front line and also facilitate the replacement after damage.

Sending away the Bulgarian, the head of state walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window on the north side of the office, and the secretary quickly pressed the switch on the wall. In the faint sound of an electric motor, the heavy curtains slowly pulled to the side. This was a fashionable invention at the time, and the head of empire always stood at the forefront of the times.

It was almost lunch time and the head of state did not leave Bulgarians to eat in the restaurant of the head of state, but they were invited to attend the dinner held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that night. The sun was shining on the dying yellow lawn, and a team of guards led a huge military dog ​​and patrolled the garden path. Xu Jun didn't think anyone had escaped a bunch of outposts and sneaked into this heavily guarded building unless it was a guy in a blue tights with a round shield.

The head of state carried his hands on his back and stared at the pool in front of his office in a daze.

"Weirler." He suddenly summoned his staff.

"Yes, my head." The lieutenant general answered immediately.

"It's okay this afternoon, let's go shopping in the city." The head of state exhaled a long breath, and then said indifferently.

"According to the order, I will arrange it immediately, my head of state." Weierle nodded his head.

"Ah?" Xu Jun turned back with some surprise. The other party agreed to be so happy. Isn't the usual open posture wrong?

"Is there anything else? My head." Weiler stared at the head's eyes.

"Aren't you going to dissuade me?"

"Will it work, my head."

"No, Weierle." Xu Jun nodded gracefully to the chief of staff, then turned his eyes back to the garden.

"Then simply wear plain clothes, Weiller."

"Okay, no problem, my head." Weyler looked at the head's back and promised to respectfully bow.
