Battle of the Third Reich

"Destroying is always easier than building, gentlemen. Destroying a building can take us a few seconds to fire a few large-caliber shells, but if you want to build a building, it will cost a lot of money. It takes a year or more to complete the manpower and material resources. I believe this simple truth is understood by all gentlemen present."

Seeing the officers nodding their heads in agreement below, Xu Jun took a deep breath and continued.

"The dream of building a modern Roman Empire is indeed very tempting. But how did the Roman Empire be established? Rely on force?

It is true that the Roman legion was overwhelming, sweeping across Europe, and the imperial territory even extended to inland Africa and Asia.

The Roman legion relied on superior tactics and equipment ahead of that era, well-trained soldiers and advanced military concepts to obtain a powerful force far above his backward and obsolete enemies, all this and the advantages we have now. Amazingly similar.

But does this mean that we can build a second Roman Empire with strong force? My answer is no, it is absolutely impossible for us to complete this cause by force in this era. "

Xu Jun stopped. He put down the scepter in his hand and picked up the cup on the table to take a sip of water. The officers all stared at him breathlessly.

"I think the reason for this is that several gentlemen here have thought about it for a long time. I want to hear your opinions."

Xu Jun looked to the three giants of the headquarters who were sitting on the left hand side.

"My head, I understand what you mean. What you said before is also a problem that has plagued me to the present. I am very worried about our current situation, my head."

The Chief of Staff of the War Department, Yoder said respectfully.

"It is true that Marshal Brauchich and I are aware of this, which is why we are determined to follow you firmly, as we have always said to our subordinates, only you can clearly see the existence of the crisis, and only you Rescue Germany from danger and lead us on the road to true rise, my head."

Kettle continued quickly, and the shrewd commander-in-chief of the staff also said von Brauchich's part.

"You once talked about this issue with us. My head, I still remember the scene at that time. I admire your profound insights and the keen and far-sighted vision and strategic thinking behind it. ."

Von Brauchit quickly climbed up the ladder.

"Now we really do not have the strength to build the millennial empire that Hitler said, as the head of state said, this is just a crazy dream."

It was Hald, the army chief of staff who had just been given a lesson by Xu Jun.

Hardy, a character with a stubborn character, was frightened by the kind of strategic thinking that the head of Xu Da showed, which was ahead of the whole era and the analytical ability and judgment beyond his imagination.

He saw a guy more like Superman than Hitler. During those few hours, the Chief of the General Staff of the Army behaved like a rookie who had just entered the military school. He listened intently to the flicker of the young head, ah no, it should be Teachings.

When Halder stepped out of the door of the head of state office, the German Army Chief of Staff has become the most steadfast admirer and follower of the head of Reinhardt, following von Brauchich, von Kettle, Yoder, Goodrian, Redell, von Longstedder, von Blomberg, von Manstein, von Loeb, and von Burke were another victims who were deceived by Xu Jun with his advanced knowledge.

"My head of state, without mentioning the navy and air force, let's talk about our army first. The questions you raised when you last met me alone started to investigate as soon as I went back. Sure enough, as you said, those The problem is not only existing but also very serious. If it is not your reminder, we may still be intoxicated in the dream of victory in the French battle. If these problems are exposed in the next battle, we may have suffered irreparable losses. Too.

The Army Staff is working on a comprehensive improvement plan according to your intentions. I really want to stop the time now. I hope that when we start this plan, everything will be available. "

Yodel said earnestly, and as a result his words caused a whisper of generals below.

"I also hope to catch up, General Halde, our enemies will not sit there waiting for silly, we can only cope with future crises only by going all out and preparing for everything."

Xu Jun nodded and answered.

"I mentioned the Roman Empire before. The Roman Empire was not built on pure force. The Romans spent countless hours and energy trying to create a safe surrounding environment for themselves, which gave them a strong development Space.

The Romans mostly rely on wisdom and perseverance, and their endless diplomatic methods and political tricks are often more effective than the killing of the Roman legion.

The Romans knew at that time that force could only be used as a last resort, and power could not solve all problems, and we now think that it is ridiculous to use force alone to conquer the world.

Now, we have taken the first step. Although it was forced by the situation, we have reached a point where we can't look back. We only have to go on. I only hope that all of us work together to make Germany truly rise in Europe and the world.

Before that, we must re-examine ourselves and re-examine the world, so that we can find the correct advanced direction of Germany. "

"Hitler said that the Germanic people are the best people in the world and should be the ruling people. The non-German people must accept the rule of the Germanic people. In my opinion, this kind of words is just a daydream.

We are indeed an excellent nation. As an excellent nation, we should have a clear brain, rather than believing that we are the madman who rules the nation.

In this day and age, it is impossible for a nation to easily enslave and rule another nation. The continuous development of science and technology has made the earth smaller and narrowed the gap between nations.

The situation between the two neighboring national cultures and technologies that differed by tens or even hundreds of years could not happen again, and the use of force and killing to oppress another nation to surrender was already difficult in Europe a hundred years ago, not to mention now we are facing Is a Europe with a highly developed civilization.

I really can't imagine that we can rely on force to truly surrender European nations who have long been accustomed to temptation.

If we continue to consider the issue of European unification in accordance with our original way of thinking, what I now know is that the occupation plan made by the German government is not as good as that of Napoleon, and I can imagine the final consequences.

I know that all the officers present are senior officers. Everyone can look at this issue rationally, which is why the German ** team has not been completely eroded by this crazy idea.

I hope that this situation will continue and that it will bring the whole of Germany back to reason. This is a task that the army chiefs must keep in mind. "

"We are on the road to war in order to survive."

Xu Jun paused with his scepter and said, "What is a living space and why do we lack living space? Everyone should realize this.

The defeat of the last war made Germany lose all its influence in Europe. Germany was suppressed by Britain, France and their allies for two decades. They were afraid that Germany would rise again.

But stupid they want to get more benefits from Germany, and the bankrupt Germany can't give them any benefits. Driven by this greedy desire, they gave Germany an opportunity to rise again, and cowardly they also Created a strong cage for Germany.

Germany is poor in resources. We do not have a stable and reliable source of resources. Everything is in the hands of the wary Allies.

In order to regain dignity and honor, you must re-arm yourself. This was the ideal and belief of all German people at that time.

Hitler had to re-arm Germany in order to realize his crazy ideals. After taking office, he eagerly wanted to turn his ideals into reality.

However, arming oneself must obtain more resources. Of course, the Allies will not help us to re-arm ourselves. They do not want to see the re-emergence of Germany.

If they see Germany as a threat, we will lose most of our resources, and Hitler’s national economic policy has made our already narrow import channels narrower. This is what he calls the essence of the German crisis of survival space. It is also the best reason for him to accelerate the pace of re-arming Germany.

So we, the barren, start a war in order to seize resources to expand our sphere of influence, and if we want to win the war and protect the fruits of the war, we must continue to grow the army, and the strong army must continue to seize more resources, so we continue to wage another war. , We have fallen into a terrible vicious circle.

In the end, the fear of possible intervention by the Allies in our actions and the hatred that has accumulated over the decades made us finally unable to start the European campaign.

You should be very clear about our situation now. We cannot go on following the crazy plan made by Hitler at that time. It is self-defeating.

With our existing power, we cannot obtain the living space we need, let alone want to enslave any people. If we do that, we will incur attacks from various sources, politically, militarily, Economically, in any area that may harm us, our hidden enemies will not give up this opportunity to attack Germany in a majestic manner.

And everyone knows how powerful the resistance against oppression will be, because we ourselves are the best role models.

Until then, unless you kill all the rebellious nations, you will never want to quell the flames of resistance. If you add the intervention of foreign forces at the same time, when those hidden enemies come out of the scene and take the opportunity to launch an attack on Germany, it is the beginning of disaster. Because weak enemies will not dare to challenge us, this struggle will most likely evolve into a protracted and painful battle.

Our previous experience has made us soberly aware that Germany is better not to fall into a protracted war. Our existing forces cannot guarantee the fight against powerful enemies while extinguishing the rear resistance flames and protecting the smoothness and stability of those resource channels. There is no doubt that you are willing to fight against the world for the sake of Germany’s revival, but determination and reality are two different things and should not be confused.

Therefore, what we need to do now is to make all our efforts to build a living space in the true sense of Germany, a stable and safe living space before other countries with ulterior motives intervene in European affairs. Remember, whether it is political It is still military, and it must be stable and safe. "

"My head of state, now I think all the gentlemen here have understood what you want to tell us, and you let us clearly see the crisis that will come to Germany. This makes us more determined to follow you, I thank God for letting us choose to fully support you at that time instead of Hitler. I thank God for giving us a sober and wise leader, because only you can lead us out of trouble.

Please tell us what the Navy should do at this time, and what difficulties we will face. The Imperial Navy will, as always, obey all your orders and eliminate all superficial and potential enemies. "

Commander-in-chief Rydell finally delivered his first speech at this meeting. By the way, he opened his posture to show his determination to stay true to the end.

"I’m going to discuss with you in detail the Navy’s future strategic vision, and I’ll meet you separately with members of the Naval Command and several fleet commanders when this regular meeting is over. Marshal Redell, I am very grateful to you for the Empire and My personal loyalty, I will always remember this."

Xu Jun nodded appreciatively to Rydell. It seems that the sweetness given to the Navy did satisfy the commander-in-chief of the Navy. Even in the past, even in the face of His Excellency Marshal Hitler Rydell, he had never said such a nasty statement.

"My head, our air force is the same, you don't have to doubt the unlimited loyalty of the Luftwaffe to you, as long as you point out the direction, the Luftwaffe will not hesitate to eliminate all enemies for you."

Milchi, the current deputy commander of the Air Force, finally couldn't help but make a speech. Because Xu Jun was ruthlessly picked up, the imperial aviation minister, who had been a bit stubborn before, was now doing a lot of low-key things.

"I understand, General Milch, and I have full confidence in the Air Force." Xu Jun nodded with a smile, Milch suddenly felt much better, and even the waist plate seemed straight.
