Battle of the Third Reich
v5 Chapter 227: Continental Trivia
Ending a war of this scale cannot be solved by signing several treaties or issuing one or two declarations. It involves a series of issues and there is still a lot of work before the Germans. ∑,
History has long proven that playing balance on geopolitical issues is definitely a stupid act. You cannot satisfy everyone’s demands or please each opponent. Because of the huge difference between the country and the nation, you will eventually damage the interests of some people. At the same time, human greed is unlimited. Sometimes, even if you sacrifice your own rights, you will not be able to satisfy the other party.
As the last victor in this European war, Xu Jun is the only supreme leader to defeat the country. He is well aware that this is just the beginning of another battle, and Germany still has not escaped the grim situation. Germany must establish a brand-new European order with Germany at its core in the shortest time, and then gather all the forces that can be mastered to build a complete war system before it can withstand those powerful enemies.
All the intelligence currently available in Germany shows that the British surrender has seriously stimulated the potentially powerful opponent. He has regarded Germany as the greatest threat to it. The final armed collision between the two parties has been unavoidable. At this moment, Xu Jun only Can harden the scalp to meet the challenge. The opponent's ultimate goal is to completely destroy the Third Reich, so neither Xu Jun nor Germany has any retreat on this issue.
On the road to establishing a new order, there must always be some people who must make sacrifices. Of course, Xu Jun cannot choose to harm the interests of the Germans, so he turned his attention to Belgium, Denmark and the Dutch. When the news of the British surrender came, the civilians of these countries were more sad than the British. These people were still unwilling to be conquered. The British Empire was their last hope.
The media of these countries published an entire surrender announcement on the front page headlines, and a wailing wailing suddenly sounded in the streets. In the following days, the officers and soldiers of the German occupation army clearly felt a change in attitude. The provocative look on the face of the locals was no longer visible when the German garrison soldiers walked across the street. Pedestrians also began to bow their heads involuntarily.
Interestingly, in the Netherlands, where the resistance was the most intense at first, there was a large-scale public opinion change. The Dutch began to hang Nazi party flags on the streets. At the same time, the dresses of German youth organizations began to quickly become popular in Dutch schools. Young people became keen to participate in political rallies. With a 4D armband on his arm, he wore a brown shirt, and each one looked like a German stormtrooper.
This is actually very easy to explain, because this is a natural law evolved by Europeans over the past thousands of years. The fittest survives with weak meat and strong food. The long history of Europe has never lacked powerful conquerors. Europeans have long learned how to deal with this situation. If the enemy is so powerful that you cannot resist, then all you should do is find a way to join the opponent. Obedience does not mean weakness. The survival of the ethnic group is the first consideration. If this problem is not thoroughly understood, the European tribes have killed each other in the chaotic wars of the Middle Ages.
These countries have been glorious in history. Both the Netherlands and Denmark were once dominant in Europe. The grievances and grievances between traditional European countries are complicated and chaotic. In the history of Britain, in order to intervene in European affairs, it has spared no effort to win over these coastal countries, and Queen Victoria has adopted a series of marriages. Eventually, the British Empire became the common parent of these countries, so when the German occupation forces set foot on the territory of these countries, they all regarded the British Expeditionary Force as their important force to resist the invasion.
In Xu Jun’s conception, these countries were too widely influenced by the United Kingdom. Especially the members of the royal family were full of anti-German thoughts. Germany will face a very severe test. Before these countries fully gain Xu Jun’s trust, he They will never be given the opportunity to stab Germany from the back.
Xu Jun’s intention is that until the final threat is resolved, these countries are still supervised by the German government, and under the control of Germany, local partners will form a government. Serving the German war machine in all aspects, depending on their respective performances, we should consider whether to allow them to join the new European system and become a member of the alliance.
Xu Jun also considered that France and Britain could be involved when necessary. Let them also participate in the management of these countries. In exchange, they must agree with Germany on leadership and management in the new system.
Of course, this is going to happen in the future, and we can't talk so far now. When the French final battle agreement was signed, half of Europe fell into a cheerful atmosphere, of course not including the small countries mentioned above, they were pitying themselves. Fall into confusion and despair.
The French-German agreement is called the final battle and is essentially different from the previous armistice agreement. The agreement clearly includes the words of good neighborliness and friendship between the two countries, and the Germans and the Gauls will never fight again. At least until the next Hitlers emerge, this agreement should be maintained for a long time. What makes the French more excited is that after the agreement, the two sides signed a peace treaty. Many people feel that with the signing of this treaty, the foundation of the new European order has already emerged.
Both the French and the German media have used generous words and sentences to praise the signing of the treaty. They call the German head of state who launched the treaty as Caesar in the new era, and there is no doubt about Europe. King, no words of praise can describe his great achievements. They claimed that this great man had ended the curse that had circulated on the earth of Europe for hundreds of years. Under the new order he established, no one dared to provoke the country and The enmity and resentment between nations, nations and nations, and no outsiders have the courage to challenge Europa. This ancient continent will usher in permanent peace and prosperity. There will be no more poverty, famine and cruel wars. The European people The future will be extremely brilliant.
Xu Jun has always been very restrained in the disposal of France. This country is incompatible with other European countries in terms of culture and system, so Xu Jun must carefully handle all occupations related to France. France has a unique advantage. He is almost a single nation. The vast territory is extremely rich in resources. Agriculture, industry and even science and technology development are self-contained. Even if the French can’t think of it, they suddenly start to close the country and rely on the foundation that France has laid. It can also be self-sufficient.
Xu Jun’s treatment for France is very generous. Unlike in history, France is allowed to surrender conditionally. Not only can it continue to retain the basic national armed forces, but it can also cooperate with Germany to continue the research and development of military equipment. At two points, it looks the same as before the defeat.
The French Navy was able to retain most of their ships and was allowed to continue to complete part of the ship's manufacturing work. The German Navy only acquired part of the captured French warships, but the German Navy has no complaints about this, because the Navy itself knows that in fact this is close to the current strength of the German Navy, because there are a large number of British Navy ships Waiting for them to take over, they were reluctant to waste precious sailors on these French warships.
In order to express goodwill, the German Navy also returned a large number of naval weapons and ammunition and ship parts seized in various places. Anyway, this thing is different from the German system, and it is only a waste of resources in the hands. In order to express gratitude, the French Navy handed over several destroyers to the German Navy. Among them was the Utopian Horror, which was very interesting to the German Navy. She was affected by the explosion of the friendly ship when the British Royal Navy made a surprise attack on the port of Mirskbil, The superstructure was partially damaged. For a time, the French navy was not able to repair him, and he simply gave the Germans a gift as a good example.
Although the agreement allows France to re-establish the army, but the French side is very sensible, and the number is determined to be 60% of the position of the German Defence Force, which can be regarded as Xu Jun can give his nationals an explanation, while also avoiding the German part The general's excessive tension. You should know that this total also includes a large number of French overseas troops. If you really deduct it, the French army may not even reach half of the German army, and it will be stretched to maintain border defense.
However, Xu Jun knew that this was only a temporary situation. After all, the war was just over, and the whole of Europe was surrounded by war-weary thoughts. When the German Wehrmacht begins to expand fully in the future, the French armed forces will also have to increase accordingly. If the war breaks out, the entire European control area will enter the general mobilization of war. The German Command has begun to make related preparations. The next goal is to be able to assemble a reserve army of about 5 million people in a short time.
The French Air Force's problems are more difficult. Their equipment is generally backward. In fact, the French actually have a good design, but they were still on the designer's drawings or locked in the aviation school's hangar during the war.
The German Army seized a large number of French aircraft, many of which also participated in the just ended Battle of England. Although they did not directly participate in the confrontation with the British Air Force, the performance of some of the models also made the Germans look a little surprised.
Perhaps it was because the French Air Force was too miserable to be slammed in combat. They lost their pride and confidence in their national equipment. Now the French Air Force officials are negotiating with the German side to get some German fighters. If there were any difficulties, they asked Germany to allow production at a factory in France by purchasing a permit.
This was what Xu Jun was considering, but he didn't expect the French to mention it first. Xu Jun is going to call on the head of the ordnance production department to study this and try to work out a cooperation plan that will satisfy both parties. However, before this, Xu Jun had a bunch of other work waiting to be solved.
When the German-French Peace Treaty was also called the noon on the third day after the signing of the German-French Paris Treaty, Xu Jun, escorted by Petain, drove to the military airport outside Paris. The special plane of the head of state had already been waiting on the runway at this time. After bidding farewell to Petain, Xu Jun boarded the plane to the next destination, Britain.
