The Third Reich: I Became Emperor
Chapter 141
August didn't care when he saw Oshima Hiroshi's hesitant expression, because he believed that the other party would agree in the end, because at this time, Benzi really couldn't hold on.
The navy suffered heavy losses, and there were only a bunch of new recruits left as pilots. If there were no reinforcements, it would not take long for the death squad to appear.
It would be even worse by then, and MacArthur's leapfrog tactics would hit Benzi's weak spot at once, making them very uncomfortable.
August believed that Benzi would make the right choice, and with those drawings, he believed that Benzi's strength would definitely be enhanced.
As long as he could hold on for another two years, August would solve the troubles on the Eastern Front. By then, it would not matter if Benzi lost. At that time, the Third Reich would be very powerful, with industry, oil, and advanced technology, and it was not inferior to the United States.
What's more, the Third Reich was upgrading at this time. The Leopard and Tiger tanks were slowly being phased out, and they were preparing to be fully replaced with Type 54 tanks. All production lines were also being transformed to prepare for the production of new tanks.
In particular, August had obtained several T-62 tanks, and was asking the people in the Armament Department to try to reverse production. If they could be produced, it would definitely be a sweeping and invincible existence.
So at this time, August didn't care about the blueprints of bombers such as Panther, Panzerfaust, Stuka, etc.
""Your Majesty, if it's other things, it's definitely not a problem. We can always send a few ships over, but I can't decide on gold and silver." Oshima Hiroshi said helplessly.
"You can decide. Gold and silver are nothing to you. Haven't you plundered enough? I don't want more. One thousand tons of gold and five thousand tons of silver." August said sarcastically.
Hearing this, Oshima Hiroshi's face looked a little ugly, but due to August's status, he dared not refute and could only change the subject:"Your Majesty, can you give less? One thousand tons of gold is too much."
"No problem, send ten aircraft carriers, and I can reduce it to nine hundred tons of gold."August said with a smile.
Now Oshima Hiroshi's face darkened. Ten aircraft carriers are almost all the main forces of the Combined Fleet. This is equivalent to giving the Combined Fleet to them.
Without these ten aircraft carriers, the Combined Fleet can't fight any more, so it's better to surrender directly.
"Gold is dead. Without these blueprints, how long can your navy last? One year? Two years? I think half a year at most. I have just received intelligence that Country M has also developed jet aircraft and has begun to equip its air force. I believe it won’t be long before the Pacific battlefield will appear. Maybe you don’t understand how powerful jet aircraft are. This is our battle damage report."August motioned for Bowman to hand over a top-secret document.
After reading the contents of the document, Oshima Hiroshi took a breath of cold air. Jet aircraft are so powerful?
The battle damage ratio reached 1 to 48, which is simply horrible. If the empire has such an aircraft, doesn’t it mean that the situation in the Pacific can be reversed in an instant.
Thinking of this, Oshima Hiroshi’s breathing became rapid and his blood flow accelerated. He knew that he had to get this blueprint.
"I will convince the country to agree to these conditions."Oshima Hiroshi took a deep breath and said
"That's right, I believe these blueprints will not disappoint you." August showed a smile on his face.
As for how to transport the gold, it's very simple. Merchant ships go around the Cape of Good Hope and make a big circle. It will arrive in about two months.
As for whether it will be searched by Allied warships, don't worry about it. It is tacitly accepted to find merchant ships from neutral countries to transport goods. There will be no inspections. After all, there are always people doing some shady business.
Two months is too long, and it is estimated that Japan can't hold on, but August can give the Iron Fist blueprints first. After all, with this thing, those samurai can confront the tanks of the M army head-on.
August was very curious, whether there were more samurai in Japan or more tanks in the M country. After all, the Iron Fist was not weak when it came to hitting tanks face to face.
Watching Oshima Hiroshi walk out excitedly, Marshal Catherine next to him said with some concern:"Your Majesty, is it really okay to give them these blueprints?"
""Problem?" I know what you are worried about. The Empire has now completely changed its equipment. Those blueprints are actually not very useful to us. It is better to use them to strengthen our strength. Don't look at how powerful ours is. In the Pacific battlefield, their strategic initiative has long been changed. They are now strong enough to defend the islands they currently occupy." August said disdainfully.
Hearing this, Marshal Catherine was a little shocked. He had been busy training jet pilots and producing new aircraft. He didn't pay much attention to the situation in the Pacific. He only occasionally learned from the newspaper that Japan fought well and occupied many islands.
But now listening to August's words, I am still a little worried? Has the situation really come to this point?
"Has it come to this?" Catherine asked worriedly.
"It's almost done. If we don't increase their strength, how can they have the courage to continue fighting? After all, we still need them to hold back Country M."August sighed and said.
Meeting a pit teammate and a reckless teammate, August was also very tired. He really wanted to kick these two guys, but after looking around, there was no reliable person. Fortunately,
France agreed to join the war not long ago and was ready to send 200,000 troops to Alria to guard the oil fields tightly. It was the lifeline of the entire Europe and could not be lost.
August also cancelled some harsh conditions and allowed France to expand its army to one million, but it had to send an army of no less than 500,000 to the Eastern Front to participate in the war. It would be too strenuous for the Third Reich to fight against the Russian bear alone. It must be integrated. All countries.
The rest of the countries, including the Netherlands, Spain and other countries, will send no more than 200,000 troops. Together with the troops drawn from the Western Front, the Eastern Front troops now have more than 5 million troops.
After the rest is completed, a new round of counterattacks can be launched.
After listening to August's words, Catherine remained silent. He also knew that the current situation was very difficult. If the country did not strengthen its strength, once the United States was free, Sicily would not face one million troops, but possibly two million. There may be a million American troops landing in Northern Ireland. It is absolutely impossible to solve the British Empire once and for all.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Air Force will train more jet pilots."Catherine said loudly. At this time, only by training more jet pilots can we consolidate the air superiority that has been hard to obtain.
While August was negotiating with Benzi, the President of Country M was walking around the room in a irritable mood.
The recent situation of the Battle of Pantelleria Island gave him a headache, because all the news he received was unfavorable, and more of it was the great victory of the D Army, and the new weapons and equipment of the D Army appeared in large numbers on the battlefield, annihilating many M troops.
Especially when he learned that the navies of Germany, France and Italy had formed a joint fleet, he was even more restless and couldn't sleep at night.
This is not good news, especially now that the Royal Navy has been greatly damaged, and relying on Country M alone is not enough. It would be very difficult for the navy to deal with the three navies.
What he was more worried about was who would be the final winner of the Battle of Pantelleria Island, and if his side was defeated, how to arrange the retreat of the troops on the island, as well as the counterattack of the D Army.
In addition, there was something else that worried him, that is, how to have weapons that matched the D Army.
Especially the new aircraft, rocket launchers, and individual weapons of the D Army, these are the weapons that the M Army coveted.
But the problem is that they don’t have the same advanced science and technology as the D Army. Even if they get the blueprints, they are actually not very useful, because there is no matching material, and the lifespan of the weapons they make is also very short.
"How did they do it? Why did the Third Reich suddenly have so many advanced weapons? And how did these scientists produce so many new weapons?
Luo Quezi really wanted to know how they developed so many advanced weapons, especially the weapons that sank the Royal Fleet. That was a direct blow to the world's number one fleet. If the United States could also obtain them, it would completely dominate the world.
"And where did they get so many resources to produce so many new weapons and equipment?"
"What about oil? Can Romania's limited production capacity meet the consumption of the front line?"
"Why can't we develop more advanced fighter planes even though we have gathered tens of thousands of scientists?"
Although the M country has already mass-produced Meteor jet fighters at this time, the blueprints are rare and they were obtained at a great cost.
After reading the blueprints, Luo Quezi realized that the technological gap between the two sides was so big.
Although they also developed jet aircraft, they took a completely wrong path. Now that they have seen the blueprints, they know that this is how they are made.
The more they walked around, the more troubled President Luo Quezi felt, and he murmured
"If the battle continues like this, Pantelleria Island will probably suffer even greater losses. It will definitely not be easy to win this battle."
"No, we must not admit defeat. We must win this battle. We must also develop more advanced weapons and equipment. We must invest heavily in research and development."
"I don't believe that we can't develop more advanced weapons."
A person muttered to himself in the room for a long time. Luo Quezi decided to increase the investment in weapons research and development. He couldn't invest as much as before. He decided to invest 2 billion US dollars at one time.
"No, we also need to send all the British military scientists to New York and let them work together on research and development. This way, our research and development speed will be faster."
"The intelligence department also needs to be rectified. These bastards don't do their jobs every day and don't have any useful intelligence."
In fact, Luo Quezi is still a very tolerant person. This time he was completely forced by the situation. Originally, because of the successive victories in the Pacific battlefield, he thought he could open up a second battlefield. Now it seems that the second battlefield has gone down the drain, and whether he can win the war has become a question.
At this time, the secretary came in and said in a serious tone:"Mr. President, it's not good. The North African Corps besieged in the Tuscan Peninsula has been withdrawn by the navies of Germany, Italy and France."
Hearing this, Luo Quezi was like being struck by lightning. He was stunned for a long time, recovered, and roared in disbelief:"Bastards, what is our army for? How can we watch them retreat?"
The North African Corps on the Tuscan Peninsula were all elite troops. Luo Quezi originally planned to wipe them out in one go, but then King Eli III of Italy sent a telegram requesting to land in Italy and that they were willing to withdraw from the war.
In addition, the enemy had already lost supplies, and they thought that the meat in their mouths could be eaten at any time, so they didn't pay much attention.
Who knew that in such a short period of time, the situation changed in an instant, not only did they fail to capture Pantelleria Island, but they also lost the fat meat in their mouths.
How could Luo Quezi not be furious and angry?
Once these 200,000 North African Corps returned to Italy, it would have a great impact on the subsequent strategy.
"FUCK, is Eisenhower an idiot?" Luo Quezi cursed. The last time he cursed was several years ago when Japan attacked them and caused the loss of many warships. But now Japan, which made him angry, was beaten and retreated to the island and dared not attack.
He was already very angry about losing the Strait of Gibraltar, but who knew that now he would ask the North African Corps to withdraw. This was simply a slap in the face.
"How strong is the joint fleet of Germany, France and Italy?"Luo Guizi suppressed his anger and asked the intelligence officer who had just been called.
The intelligence officer was confused at this time, but seeing the president's expression that was about to go berserk, he said seriously:"It is very strong, stronger than the Royal Home Fleet. Among them, there are more than fifteen battleships, almost ten aircraft carriers, and the rest of the warships add up to nearly five hundred."
Fortunately, when he saw this intelligence two days ago, he memorized it casually. He didn't expect to use it today, otherwise he could imagine the president's outburst.
‘What a close call. '
In fact, he was also very bitter. Most of the spies deployed in European countries had been wiped out. The remaining ones were shrimps and of little use.
If Spain had not just joined the war and had not had time to clean up the spies, it would probably take a few days for him to get this intelligence. At that time, he would definitely be scolded.
"The strength is not weak, it is almost surpassing the Pacific Fleet."Hearing this, Luo Quezi frowned and said with a headache.
After all, Italy and France are old naval powers, and their naval strength is naturally not weak. Although Country D is a rising star, the three countries combined, even the newly-promoted naval power Country M has to pay attention to it.
With such naval strength, he is already qualified to dominate the entire Atlantic. Unless he wants to transfer all the fleets in the Pacific, it would be good enough to barely maintain the balance with the few warships in his hands.
But the current situation does not allow him to easily mobilize warships. He must maintain a high-pressure attitude towards Japan. Only by solving Japan as soon as possible can he draw more strength. The key is that now it is equivalent to America challenging the whole world on its own. Although there are Russians to help, they are limited to the army and basically can't help much in naval warfare.
