At present, the adjustment of Germany's armament building program is no longer a matter that can be decided by a meeting of the German Imperial High Command. Pen Fun Cabinet www.biquge.info because the European Community's armaments were on the route of joint development and cooperative production before the surrender of the British mainland. At the beginning, it was a joint arms building with Germany and France as the core, and from the second quarter of 1943, Britain (home) also formally joined the European Community Joint Arms Program, and in April 1943, a European Community Joint Arms Committee was formally established to study and formulate the armaments program.

Of course, it was the German Empire that was absolutely dominant in this armaments commission!

On 26 June, after the German High Command passed a resolution to reformulate the armament program, Reich Field Marshal Hersmann temporarily handed over a large part of the affairs of the General Staff to Guderian, himself, the head of the armaments of the German navy, land and air forces, and the head of the German Armaments Directorate, Albert. Speer traveled to Europaburg, the capital of the European Community, to meet with representatives of France, Great Britain, Hungary-Croatia, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Spain, Ireland, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and, of course, the Russian Empire, which was ready to participate fully in the European integration process.

Europaburg is located in Strasbourg, the capital of the former Alsace, on the west bank of the Rhine River, across the river from the German state of Baden-Württemberg. The city's predominantly inhabitants were Germanic and belonged to the German Empire in the decades between the Franco-Prussian War and was ceded to France after World War I. And after the defeat of France again in 40 years, the whole of Alsace, including Strasbourg, and the neighboring Lorraine region were once again taken from the French territory.

However, Alsace and Lorraine were not formally incorporated into the German Empire, but became the "European Capital District" and were named the Central State, while Strasbourg was renamed Europaburg and became the capital of the European Community.

Of course, the Central State and Europaburg had been under the protection of the German Reich since June 1940, and men of appropriate age were required to serve in the German army. In fact, it is the territory of Germany!

Because it has become the capital of Europe, the Central State and Europaburg have been under construction for nearly three years. When Hersmann arrived, Fort Europa looked like a large construction site. However, the city that is being built on a large scale is still very clean and tidy, and it looks orderly.

It was not a Nazi politician who presided over the construction of the European Community capital, but a politician from the Alsace-Lorraine region. Schumann is the father of the European Community in history!

He was a German before World War I, served in the German army, and after World War I became French (this is not his fault, Germany itself promised to cede land), and became the leader of the Lorraine Republican Alliance, a small local party in France, and became a member of the French Parliament.

After Alsace-Lorraine became the Central State of the European Community, he became one of the first European citizens, joined the European Unionist Party, the foreign branch of the People's Party of the Fatherland (Germany), at the end of the 40th year, and won the election of the first mayor of Europaburg.

But arriving by plane did not meet the "father of the European Community" in Europaburg - Germany is not a pandemic here, Schumann has little "hospitality" in Schumann's city government, and there are no gray areas to take advantage of.

Hersmann's "soul" was at first very unaccustomed to this dullness of the Germans. Most of the human beings here are tendons, as long as it is a prescribed thing, they basically follow it, and it is uncompromising and cannot be accommodating. Therefore, as long as the rules and regulations are still there, it is difficult to break through the things that cannot be done.

It is said that some people in later generations made fun of the Germans, pasted "men" and "women" signs on public telephone booths, and arranged for a person not to come out of the men's telephone booths. As a result, German men who wanted to make a phone line lined up outside the men's phone booth, and no one went to the empty women's phone booth...... Oh, and then it seems that a man went to the women's phone booth, but it was a Frenchman in Germany.

Therefore, in this part of Germany, not only is the system very strict, but most people will consciously abide by it, so the administrative cost is very low and the efficiency is relatively high. However, there are also inconveniences in this rigor and efficiency for those in power...... The main thing is that it is inconvenient to make money!

A person as powerful as Hersman has been on the stage for so many years, and he has never accepted any bribes or embezzled a single mark. And the people who got promotions and large contracts from him were not at all conscious, and no one quietly gave gifts to his family...... Even if there is, it will definitely blast out the strict and cute Chloe.

However, the two-sleeved Hersman was actually very wealthy among the Junker nobility (Junker officers who were crowned nobles), after all, he married Chloe, the heir to the old earl family.

And in the past 20 years, Hersman and Chloe have carried out some business, holding a large amount of gold before the economic crisis of the 20s, and taking advantage of the crisis to buy a large number of assets (mainly land, real estate, art and stocks of large companies) at low prices, and according to the market value of 43 years, 70 million or 80 million euro marks still have property.

In Germany's military and political circles, this worth can also be regarded as a rich man. But compared with the establishment in most countries in the world, his net worth can really only be regarded as poor.

However, the fact that the Juncker military clique has been able to be arrogant in Europe for so many years is inseparable from being "poor". If it was easy to get full, Juncker would have become synonymous with the gentlemen, how could it be that there would be many famous generals from generation to generation?

……

The rigor and efficiency of the German Empire are now brought to the affairs of the European Community. There wasn't much pre-communication and off-stage dealing, and the day after Hirschmann arrived at Fort Europa, it was a formal meeting.

The meeting took place in the newly completed building of the Commission of the European Communities - not the Senate of the Community, which was the prototype of the European Common Government. The committee building is a very imposing building, which looks a bit like the German Chancellery.

In a small conference room that had just been renovated and still exuded the aroma of wood, Hersmann met with representatives of the military and government of Britain, France, Russia, Hungary, Belgium, Norway, Finland, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and other countries.

There were no representatives of the New Roman Empire, the Netherlands and Sweden, the two "quasi-European Community countries", and even less Japan. They are all representatives of the members of the European Community, only Russia is slightly special, but it is also a country that has confirmed its membership in the European Community.

"His Royal Highness Prince Yusupov," Hesman began the meeting, first greeting the chief representative of Russia, Chief of the General Staff Yusupov. "Let me first tell you about the principle of armaments in the European Community, which we in the European Community countries have adopted in terms of common defence and common armament.

In principle, all weapons and equipment are developed and used with the joint participation of the countries of the European Community, so that the resources and industrial advantages of the European Community can be maximized and the cost of weapons development and production can be reduced.

At present, however, this is only a principle that has just begun to be implemented, as there is still a lot of old-fashioned equipment being produced and improved in the countries of the European Community. ”

"We in Russia have no problem with this." Prince Yusupov replied, "We got a lot of arsenals in Petrograd, there were also production lines for the production of T-34 and KV tanks, and many designers and skilled workers worked for us." Therefore, we also hope to participate in the European Community's weapons program, and I believe that we can also contribute to the design and production of the European Community's weapons and equipment. ”

"It couldn't be better." Hersman smiled and nodded.

He didn't mean to look down on the Soviets' tanks, although the Soviet tanks were not necessarily suited to Germany's national conditions -- Soviet tanks followed the path of caliber being king, while the Germans liked small guns and big carts, seeking stability and accuracy, and their battleships were the same idea. Hersmann is not particularly eye-catching, but the new generation of tanks in Germany and the European Community still has to continue to develop along the lines of the Germans.

Hirschmann then went on to say: "Since the Russian Empire is back in the European family and will become an important member of the European Community and a driving force for European integration, the European Community's war policy and armament program will have to be adjusted accordingly." ”

The fact that the Russian Empire became a probationary member of the European Community and participated in the affairs of the European Community was unanimously supported by the three European Community powers (Germany, Britain and France) - because France wanted to unite with Russia, Germany wanted to integrate Russia, and Britain supported Russia instead of the Soviet Union because India was the lifeblood of India, so it supported the replacement of the Soviet Union with Russia.

"Helping the Russian Empire replace the Soviet Union will be the first task of the European Community in the war, more important than defeating the United States." "So the Army will also be more important than the Navy in armaments," Hirschman continued. Air and naval aviation will maintain their original priority. ”

Hersman glanced at the representatives of the various countries present, and found no objections, so he continued: "On the army side, the E-50 tank project and the further upgrade and improvement of the Tiger tank will be in the most important position. The prototype of the E-50 project has now been completed, the first production model will be completed by the end of this year, production is expected in '44, and it is hoped that production will begin simultaneously in Germany, France and the United Kingdom, and in the future in Russia. ”
