Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 36: Military Conference (1)

"This is not a joke!"

Xu Jun glanced coldly at the famous German generals present. Except for the thoughtful expression of the Big Three of the headquarters, almost everyone's face showed an expression similar to that of a sudden slap on the head, and the eyes were extremely shocked. With confusion.

Xu Jun was very satisfied with the current responses of these professional officers. Originally, he thought that the measurement of this medicine might be slightly larger, and now it seems to be appropriate to achieve the desired effect.

"Many of you must think I am alarmist."

Xu Jun maintained that awe-inspiring look, and his cold eyes swept across the faces of every general sitting at the conference table.

The conference room has a large space. It was originally a large shelter and headquarters built by the Paris government before the war. This central conference room is enough to accommodate more than 50 people to hold military meetings. It has perfect facilities and gorgeous decoration full of French style. .

This fortress is twelve meters deep into the city and is entirely constructed of reinforced concrete. It is also protected by armor steel plates with a thickness of 50 centimeters at some key locations. At that time, it could be regarded as a first-class fortification system.

The French used this state-of-the-art technology and equipment in this underground shelter, coupled with their rich experience accumulated in the construction and use of the Maginot line of defense, making this shelter everywhere A French bunker culture made every German who saw the facilities inside the fortress for the first time wonder. The French could lie down on a spring bed and drink martini to fight.

At that time, the most advanced air conditioning and ventilation system sent filtered fresh air to every corner of this bunker. Of course, this conference room was no exception. The temperature was carefully adjusted to the most suitable temperature, which made people feel no sense at all. The sullenness of being on the ground also makes people forget the summer heat on the ground.

But now, the French's sophisticated air conditioning system seems to have failed in this conference room, because everyone feels a bone chill, like the kind of coldness in the ice cave, especially when the eyes of the empire's head When falling on yourself.

"Does anyone feel incomprehensible to me?"

The meeting room was quiet, and no one answered his question. All Xu Jun saw was glinting away from his eyes.

The head of empire shook his head with a sigh, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that the emotions at the scene were suppressed by himself, and he had to relax a little.

"Can anyone here tell me why we are fighting?"

Xu Jun asked in an indifferent tone, his expression was as relaxed and casual as possible, and he almost immediately heard a sigh in the conference room with a long breath. It seems that he really scared them just now, Xu Jun thought to himself.

"In order to revive Germany, my head of state, I believe that all the officers present here are willing to give up everything for me, my head of state."

In a silence, a voice suddenly answered loudly that the officers present couldn't help looking at the place where the voice sounded.

"Very good, Colonel Dougan!"

Xu Jun nodded to Dougan, who stood up like a javelin and still had a look on his face.

"Gentlemen here, is your answer the same?" Xu Jun turned back and looked at the officers.

"Yes, my head, everything is for Germany!"

Von Brauchich, who was depressed because he was grabbed the top spot by the extremely cool SS colonel, immediately replied loudly without hesitation.

"for Motherland."

"For the great Germany."

"For Germany."

The responding generals quickly replied to the commander-in-chief of the landing army, and it seemed that many people were also regretting their previous hesitation. The answering voice shouted louder.

"I'm very pleased with everyone's answer, and your loyalty to the empire is beyond dispute."

Xu Jun smiled and looked around the meeting room. All the famous generals and his staff deliberately put their chests in front of the young head of state to show their determination.

"We are fighting for the restoration of Germany, but..."

Xu Jun lifted the red marshal scepter on the table and gently knocked on the conference table covered with a golden velvet blue velvet tablecloth.

"Is this war really bringing German renaissance? Has anyone seriously considered this issue?"

Xu Jun turned his gaze to the left, where the army and the armed SS generals sat.

"I know that many of you here have more or less opposed the yellow combat plan before the war. There is no need to make any excuses now, His Excellency Chief of Staff." Xu Jun shook his scepter at Kettle who wanted to speak .

"It's the same on the Navy side, right, Marshal Redell." Xu Jun looked to the right, where the navy and air force generals sat.

"There is no need to say anything at the Air Force side. Goring was the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force at the time, and he didn't need to expect him to consider any strategic issues at all." Xu Jun smiled at Milch and the commanders of the various air teams sitting in the distance.

"Now it seems that your previous worries are justified. Although it is expected that the strong resistance of the low- and middle-country countries and the heavy losses that we may have suffered have not occurred, we have also achieved incredible results and ultimate victory."

Xu Jun's face sank.

"However, I have not seen the dawn of Germany's re-emergence from these glorious victories. On the contrary, I have seen that Germany has fallen into a dangerous situation because we can't stop."

Xu Jun paused, seeing the thoughtful expressions of the officers now satisfying him.

"Adolf Hitler!"

Xu Jun suddenly said the name loudly, and the atmosphere of the audience was frozen at that time.

"For God's sake, don't look at me with this look, you won't tell me that you have forgotten the name, right?"

Xu Jun swayed the desktop with a scepter.

"Adolf Hitler! I now regret very much that I once believed everything he said."

It’s strange to believe that even Jack’s yin dangerous robot never thought about it this way, Xu Jun secretly laughed, but his face showed a regretful expression, realistically even Daogen thought that head of time at that time Your lord may be really fooled.

"I believe what he said, winning this war is a necessary condition for the German revival. But I now know that we are all deceived by the crazy guy Hitler. Not only can war not bring Germany a revival, but on the contrary Our decades of hard work have been destroyed."

Xu Jun continued with a heavy expression: "Hitler never seriously thought about how Germany will develop after the victory of the war. He didn't even spend time researching this problem at all. His goal only exists in his craziest fantasies. There are no substantive measures and plans to deal with the problems we may face.

All he wanted was war. Apart from unrealistic dreams and self-expansion, the corporal never really considered how to build a country. All he considered was power, ambition, interests, and how to satisfy his distorted personality. "

Xu Jun pressed his scepter hard.

"We fought to achieve his crazy ambitions, and the soldiers died for that crazy goal. Revive Germany, yes, Hitler said so, the Germanic nation is the ruling nation, Hitler said this Yes, the Germans will rule the world, Hitler said so. It’s ridiculous that we actually believed this, and more sadly, we actually did just that."

Xu Jun paused for a moment, and he looked directly at the surprised eyes of the generals.

"It is no longer possible to build a new Roman Empire in this era. The era is advancing, the gap between the nations is narrowing, and the regional culture has been deeply entrenched, but Hitler wants us to believe that we can complete this cause, and Germany will become The new Roman Empire ruled the millennium empire throughout Europe and the world, but he only relied on powerful force!

But are we really as strong as we feel? My answer is, no, we are not yet strong enough to build that kind of empire, and we will run out of the last drop of blood on the journey. "

Xu Jun glanced at the silent generals.

"All the officers present are either group commanders or commanders of my direct corps. Today this meeting will be included in the top secret of the empire. After the meeting, all meeting records will be sealed. I don’t want anyone to leak the meeting today. Any information, because the issues I discuss with you today are related to the national security of the empire and to the future of the German nation."

Xu Jun nodded to the generals who had put away their notebooks.

"I said earlier that we are not strong enough. Indeed, although it is difficult for everyone to accept, but this is the fact! I once said that the victory we have now depends on enough luck and limited advantage, but everyone There is no guarantee that this luck and advantage will always be with us, with Germany.

We are only ahead of our opponents with new forms of tactics and a handful of technical weapons. We beat them by surprise. At this point I had to admire Adolf Hitler. He was always able to keenly find a good time to go to war.

However, favorable opportunities can only increase our winning base in a limited way, but for long-term strategies, this may not be a good thing. "

Xu Jun shook his scepter.

"Now we have won, France has surrendered. As far as I know, most people in the country think that we have won, and half of Europe has become our loot. But, have we ever thought that Germany has enough capabilities? Let’s digest this huge loot? Are we able to face the problems hidden behind the huge benefits brought about by this victory?"

"This, the Imperial Cabinet seems to have a plan..." Kettle said on the side.

"Don’t mention that stupid plan. To tell you the truth, Hitler never thought of any occupation plan before the war, because he never thought we would win so easily, and the cabinet did not even have a decent occupation policy. It has been worked out. As far as I know, there is only one substance of the stupid plan you said, plunder!"

"What? Robbery?"

Feng. Brauchi exclaimed softly, although he already knew all about the plan. However, at this time, he felt that as the commander-in-chief of the army, it was necessary to exhale to exhale the atmosphere, because this is what the head of state needs.

Sure enough, he won a glorious look from the head of state.

"All the resources that can be snatched by the occupied country, whether it is finished products or raw materials, factories or mines, are just a list of numbers on the robbery list. Those who can be shipped back to Germany will be shipped back, and those that cannot be returned to the country Those companies divided up, as they did in Poland that year." Xu Jun glanced approvingly at the clever army commander and continued.

"Too stupid, it will certainly cause fierce resistance from the residents of the occupied country."

Lundstedt shouted loudly without losing time.

"Can't be like this, my head, the honor of Germany will be ruined by this kind of behavior, we are not thieves."

"General Küchler is right. It must be those tycoons who are profitable who come up with such ideas."

For a time, the group was angry.

"I'm glad that everyone will be angry about this. Indeed, this problem is the first crisis in Germany now."

Xu Jun waved his scepter to calm down the generals present, he continued.

"Germany lacks sufficient resources. I think everyone knows this problem well. It is caused by our poor surrounding environment, and of course because of the harsh import policy we have set ourselves.

All of you are soldiers. I don’t want to talk about political issues here. What I want to let everyone understand is that we do not have enough resources to support the operation and development of a huge army. If we want to obtain resources, we can only improve our surrounding environment and expand more channels of material resources circulation.

Now, the victory in the European battlefield is an opportunity before us, but as I said earlier, once it is not handled well, it will also become a crisis of the empire. The military must play a key role on this issue. This is the first substantive issue I have mentioned, how to ensure that our resources can maintain the long-term operation of this huge army. "

"My head of state, you mean to maintain a large army?" Xu Jun's new chief consultant Feng Blumberg asked aside.

"Yes, we must now ensure the existence of this huge army. Not only that, we also have to consider how to expand the size of the army and continue to develop it. This is the problem that the army has to face now."

Xu Jun's words just fell, and there was a repressed discussion immediately.

"My head, can you tell me why you think this way?" von Blumberg asked.

"My Excellency Marshal, don't you understand that we have fallen into the vortex of war. For us, the victory of the French battle is not the end of the war but just the beginning."
