readx; The end of Germany is already doomed, and now it is up to the countries to end the war and get the most out of it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The interests pursued by other countries are not discussed for the time being, but for China, Chen Jingyun knows very well how to get enough out of this war.

More importantly, China needs to support an ally in Europe to share the huge pressure from Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union after the war.

As for China's global strategic demands, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union naturally will not let China realize it easily, otherwise Britain and the United States would not have hurriedly prepared to land on the Atlantic coast of France, and the Soviet army would not have launched a large-scale spring counteroffensive regardless of huge casualties.

You must know that the United States only surrendered at the end of last year, the United States only began to transfer a large number of troops to Europe at the end of 1944, and it was only in March 1945 that North Africa was completely recovered, followed by the landing in southern Italy in April.

If from a military point of view, the British and American landing operations on the French coast will take at least a year or so to prepare, and after the Soviet army has made great progress in the eastern counteroffensive and entered Poland, and the southern front has also made a major breakthrough in the Italian direction, this is the best time to land, after all, the strength of Germany in this time and space is stronger than that of Germany in history, and the Soviet army is much weaker, which leads to the fact that if Britain and the United States hurriedly launch a French landing operation, they will face strong resistance from the German army.

Although everyone knows that the German army will be defeated in the end, it is not a good thing if the losses in the process of defeating Germany are too large.

But now that China is intervening in Europe, China has not only sent expeditionary forces to land in the Balkans, but is also seeking to preserve much of Germany's power in order to gain an ally in postwar Europe. And this kind of thing is unacceptable to Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, so they must also defeat Germany completely before China, and then completely divide Germany.

Therefore, despite the fact that the war in Europe remained largely calm in May 1945, it was actually the last moment when countries were competing with each other, to be precise, the most tense period of the contest between China and the United States.

China spared no effort to win over some pro-China high-level leaders in Germany, trying to stage a coup d'état to seize power in Germany, so as to achieve a decent end to the war for Germany with China's support, while the United States wanted to completely defeat Germany before China succeeded, and marched its army into Berlin.

On 21 May, at the Nanjing Presidential Palace, Chen Jingyun sat down with a handful of high-ranking military and political leaders to hold the fourth highest strategic meeting of the year.

"On the European front, the situation is already getting more and more tense, we can't wait any longer, if the Germans can't kill Hitler and take over German power, then we have to do something to improve our strategic disadvantage in the European region!" Chen Yi said with a frown.

"If necessary, we can take the initiative to move westward into Romania and control Romania in front of Soviet Russia, so that we can also prolong the final collapse of Germany to a certain extent from the side, so that the Germans have more time to complete the transfer of power in Germany!" Shen Gang's proposition is more radical.

You must know that at present, the Chinese-led coalition forces and the Allied forces and the Soviet army are strategic cooperative partnerships, although no joint operations have been adopted, but everyone is attacking Germany, and in the previous verbal and private agreement between the coalition forces and the Soviet army, the coalition forces are responsible for attacking Greece, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria, but Romania is attacked by the Soviet army. If China rashly attacks Romania, it can be said that it will directly tear through the unspoken rules that everyone has tacitly agreed to before, which is not a thing, and if it is not done well, it will make Soviet Russia and China completely tear their faces.

"According to my opinion, the strength invested by the MI in Germany is not enough, the support is not strong enough, and the last assassination of Hitler should have been successful if it had been arranged more carefully, but unfortunately it fell short in the end, and now it is not as easy as before to organize the assassination of Hitler!" As the president of the Government Council, Ma Yinchu said that he is different from those military bigwigs who think of solving problems, and the first thought of the military people to solve the problem is to dispatch a large army!

Ma Yinchu, on the other hand, is more inclined to use political means to solve the problem!

"Assassination alone will not solve the problem, and it is necessary to strengthen the liaison with the senior generals of the Wehrmacht, haven't the people in the MI already secretly met Rommel and Witzleben, and how, have they not made up their minds yet?" Chen Jingyun turned his head at this time and looked at Lieutenant General Zhao Zijin, the head of the Military Intelligence Division in charge of the German coup d'état.

Lieutenant General Zhao Zijin only began to serve as the director of the Military Intelligence Division last year, the Military Intelligence Department is different from the Investigation Bureau, Chen Cai in the Investigation Bureau has been sitting firmly in the position of Director of the Investigation Bureau for decades, and the position of the Director of the Military Intelligence Division has been rotated many times, most of them can only serve for three or five years, Zhao Zijin previously served as the head of the American station of the Military Intelligence Department, the war of the British War, after returning to China, he was promoted to the director of the European Department of the Military Intelligence Department, with the rank of major general, the person has always focused on intelligence affairs in the European direction, After being appointed by Chen Jingyun to the post of director of the Military Intelligence Department, it was at the most intense moment of the global confrontation between China and the United States, so the focus of the military intelligence department was also on North America and Europe.

As the new director of the Military Intelligence Department, Zhao Zijin urgently needed to do a big thing to show his ability, and when China declared war on Germany after entering 1945, the Chinese top level wanted Germany to change the power structure in order to better implement the plan of supporting an ally in Europe, and this kind of thing was naturally taken care of by the Military Intelligence Department.

In the following month or so, the Military Intelligence Service united with some officers in Germany to try to assassinate Hitler, but unfortunately the assassination in April failed, and Hitler did not have a, which made Lieutenant General Zhao Zijin, who was in charge of the matter, extremely stressed and blamed.

When Chen Jingyun asked about this matter, Zhao Zijin immediately replied: "Our people have already had secret contact with most of Germany's high-level military and political leaders, including Rommel and Witzleben. As we had expected, these two men were still quite disgusted with Hitler and the Nazi Party, and were very interested in our proposal, and now the German war intelligence officers have been dismissed with them and many other German generals, and it is hoped that they will be able to reach a clear negotiation result with them, and finally they will cooperate with us to launch another assassination of Hitler, and once the assassination of Hitler is successful, they will quickly take control of the troops, and finally the Wehrmacht will take control of the supreme power in Germany! ”

The last assassination of Hitler was actually a conspiracy between the MI and some middle- and lower-ranking German officers, and although many senior generals of the Wehrmacht were more or less aware of this, they only acquiesced and did not directly participate in it. After Hitler's assassination, a large-scale investigation and arrest was launched in Germany, and hundreds of people were arrested by the Gestapo, including many high-ranking military generals, which made Germany's high-level generals even more worried, after all, they did not know when Hitler sent the secret police to their doorstep.

Therefore, this time, the military intelligence office once again contacted these high-level German generals, and it also received direct support from a large number of high-level German generals.

Among them, there are many marshals and generals, such as Field Marshal Erwin? Rommel, Field Marshal Erwin? Feng? Witzleben, Army General 1st Class Ludwig? Baker, former Army General Erich? Once the assassination of Hitler was successful, with the prestige of these senior army generals, they would be able to successfully control the German troops, and set up a provisional military and political axe, and with the support of China, they would conduct peace negotiations with Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union to end the war in an acceptable and decent way.

With the support of these people, then the operation of the MI in Germany will also be smoother.

Although China had already decided to provoke a military coup d'état in Germany, and hoped to support the Wehrmacht-led Germany to end the war and draw Germany into the Chinese camp after the war.

Since the beginning of the Fuzhou Uprising, Chen Jingyun has known that no matter how good the plan is, it has never been able to be used, and the development and changes of things will always deviate from the original plan, so although the current solution to the German problem is perfect, China must take into account the worst changes and prepare accordingly.

When it comes to the overall national interest, considering the problem often does not mean first considering how many benefits will be gained in the event of victory, but how to deal with it in case of failure.

Now China must consider how it will face the post-war world situation without Germany as an ally if Germany is completely defeated.

It is precisely on the basis of this consideration that China has already begun to make corresponding military movements in response to the post-war situation before the war in Europe is over.

First of all, the disarmament plan that many people expected has been rejected again; although military spending has been reduced compared with last year, it still maintains a high proportion, and although the navy and air force have said that they have ended the pace of major expansion in the past few years, like the army, they have entered a period of intensive equipment upgrading, the most obvious sign of which is that the navy and air force are preparing to fully realize the plan of jet aircraft in the next one to two years.

Of course, outsiders have not paid too much attention to the above changes, but what really attracted people's attention is that after China sent the second batch of five divisions to Europe in April, at the end of May it announced that it would send a third batch of up to six divisions to fight in Europe.

In other words, when the third batch of reinforcements arrives in Europe, the strength of the Chinese Army deployed in the European direction will reach a huge strength of 16 divisions, and these forces are all mechanized troops, which are the real essence of the Chinese Army. And China is pinning its hopes on these elite troops to act as China's fist in Europe.

To put it bluntly, these troops were actually not used to fight Germany, but to prepare for war with Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union!
