Chapter 66: The Choice
"These damn Japanese pigs actually helped the British escape to Australia when we attacked Britain" Hitler's hysterical roar resounded in the elaborately decorated office, and it was the telegram sent by Zhao Zhi from Zhangwu County to Berlin that sparked the Führer's anger. The telegram was sent directly to the SS, bypassing the intelligence services of the High Command, a privilege enjoyed by Zhao Zhi, whose status as an SS major was permanently retained by Hitler.
Compared with Zhao Zhi and the Japanese, Hitler naturally chose to believe Zhao Zhi, because he couldn't find out what benefits Zhao Zhi could get from deceiving him, and without Zhao Zhi, the German army would not have found a chance to land on the British mainland, in other words, Zhao Zhi was the mastermind behind the fall of the British mainland. The senior officials of the High Command were urgently summoned by Hitler to discuss how to deal with the British who fled to Australia.
Only Goering, who has always been good friends with Zhao Zhi, remained dull, and it was not until he was named by Hitler that Goering cleared his throat and spoke, "I remember that when Zhao Lin left, he discussed with me the matter of purging the remnants of the enemy, and now we have taken Britain and France and those small countries in Eastern Europe, and other countries in Europe are also paying attention to our attitude, only the Soviets are staring at Poland." According to the information obtained by the intelligence services, the Soviets have completed the stockpiling of ammunition and fuel, and the accumulation of a large number of troops has also been completed, and I think they are ready to tear up the armistice agreement signed with us and attack Poland."
"Everyone knows Zhao's consistent proposition, at present Germany is not suitable for two-front warfare, what we should do at present is to actively integrate the industrial facilities of Britain and France, form a military production capacity as soon as possible, quell the resistance from the occupied areas, and consolidate our control over the occupied areas, only in this way can we maintain a steady supply of materials in the war with the Soviets, as long as we defeat the Soviet Union, the whole of Europe and even the whole world will not dare to be our enemies, at that time, How much more can a small Japan make a move?"
"Don't the Brits who fled to Australia care? You know, the British still have a lot of troops in their overseas colonies, and they can even conscript civilians from those colonial countries to join the army if they want to, and what should we do if they take advantage of the fact that we are fighting the Soviets and sneak up from behind? "A fat-bellied general clearly had a different point of view than Goering.
"That's not a problem at all, don't you think the soldiers of the Empire are not enough to be worthy of the civilians they have temporarily conscripted?" Goering smiled and continued, "Have you forgotten our submarines?" Coming to the British Isles from Australia, at least through the South Pacific and North Atlantic, as long as our submarines hold Panama and the Gulf of New Guinea, no matter how many British there are, they will not be able to pass, so the British escape is actually a great favor for us, at least we don't have to worry about the British sneaking up on us from behind"
"Of course, in order to eliminate the possibility of the British attacking us, we also have to send troops to wipe out the armed forces in the British colonies, and completely drive out the armed forces loyal to Britain from Europe, only in this way can we fight the Soviets with peace of mind" What Goering is saying now is a topic he and Zhao Zhi had talked about all night, so he didn't talk at all. "But these are not the most important things for us at the moment, our current enemy is the Soviet Union, and getting all the arsenals in Britain and France in motion is what we need to focus on now."
In order to guard against knives stabbed in the back by the Soviets, the Germans not only reserved a large number of elite troops on the Polish front, but also hoarded half of Germany's ammunition and supplies. Fighting a war is fighting for logistics and supply, this is when attacking Poland, Zhao Zhi once analyzed it for the high command, in fact, the ammunition and materials hoarded by the German army are simply not enough to support the needs of the German army and the Soviet army to start a war, they need more ammunition, in the face of the Soviet people's crowd tactics, the German army needs more and more powerful weapons and material supplies.
"Arrange for the ambassadors to the United States to visit their president immediately, and I don't want the American fleet to open fire on us when we send submarines to blockade the South Pacific" Hitler finally chose to listen to Goering's opinion, intending to use submarines to blockade the British who had fled to Australia on the side of the South Pacific, freeing up his hands to deal with the coming Soviets. According to Zhao Zhi's analysis of the Soviet Union, the period from May to October is a good time to use troops against the Soviet Union, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that you will have to wait until the spring of the following year, in winter, Zhao Zhi does not think that the German soldiers are more effective than the Soviet soldiers, after all, the Soviets are more resistant to frost than the Germans.
The energetic Goering was glad that Hitler finally agreed to his proposal, and he had already discussed similar topics with Zhao Zhi in private, and what Germany needed most after the British and French was not busy fighting the Soviets, but should stabilize the control of the occupied areas, and use the policy of bread and sticks to settle down the British and French who surrendered to them as soon as possible. Population is also a kind of wealth, Germany needs these people to go into the factories to start the machine, for the German army fighting on the front line to produce a steady stream of weapons, ammunition and military supplies, it is difficult for the Germans alone to win this war.
"Our old friend Zhao has a war plan against the Japanese mainland, and he wants to get your support from the Führer" After the meeting ended, Goering went to Hitler alone with a folder, Zhao Zhi's plan for heavenly punishment was very important, and Goering didn't want too many people to know.
"So Zhao had been planning this since he returned to China: "Hitler was not a brilliant military strategist, but that did not prevent him from being observant. It is not difficult to see from the lurkers arranged by Zhao Zhi in Japan that Zhao Zhi will never be temporary, China has been occupied by the Japanese army, and in this case, Zhao Zhi can still send thousands of people to sneak into the Japanese mainland, which will never be something that can be done in a short time, not to mention that all of his people can speak Japanese.
"Yes, Zhao told me that he has been preparing for this matter since he returned to China, and I can imagine his difficulties at that time" When Zhao Zhi told Goering about this guy, his words were extremely relaxed, but Goering knew how difficult it would be for Zhao Zhi to do this under such circumstances. The dead who volunteered to go to Japan are okay, but they also have to be taught to learn Japanese, to use weapons, to make bombs, all of which cannot be done overnight.
"I heard that the Americans have a military base in the Philippines that is dedicated to transferring supplies for Zhao, contact the Americans, and send the British and French planes we captured to the Philippines along with ammunition, I think the Americans should help us send these planes to China and hand them over to Zhao" After the German army took Britain and France, they seized a large number of weapons and ammunition, including many fighters belonging to the coalition forces, out of the arrogance of the Germans, those captured fighters were also parked on the open runway, Because the German pilots disdained to pose them, Hitler also gave them to Zhao Zhi as a favor.
At the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek also expected to get the support of the international community, but with the further expansion of the war, the international community would only condemn Japan, and did not make any substantive moves.
"Chairman, I don't know where Zhao Zhi got this information, but I think the situation may not be what we imagined, maybe the Japanese just provided ships for the British to help them escape to Australia, just like Zhao Zhi helped those Jews in the first place" His assertion was nodded by many people present, it seems that everyone is still suspicious of Zhao Zhi's way of obtaining information, it is no wonder that Germany now only recognizes Zhao Zhi but does not believe in the Nationalist Government.
"You can rest assured of the source of the intelligence, this is the latest war report sent by the German High Command, I don't think the German side will deceive us" Zhao Zhi planned for the German army to plan the British matter, only Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling knew, so Chiang Kai-shek was not easy to say directly, so he had to put the excuse on the head of the German High Command.
"What do you mean, Chairman?"
"Issue a conscription order, set up a training camp in the Yungui area of Sichuan, speed up the training of soldiers according to Zhao Zhi's plan, before Zhao Zhi has the next move, what you need to do is to train qualified soldiers as much as you can, and wait for Zhao Zhi's weapons to be in place before starting our big counteroffensive" Zhao Zhi has been planning only part of the heavenly punishment operation to tell Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek is looking forward to the implementation of this guy, but he can't tell other people about this plan in advance, It is likely that the Nationalist Government still harbored Japanese spies and bribed traitors.
Recruit 300,000 soldiers, establish more than a dozen training camps in Yunnan, Guichuan and other places, draw veterans from the front-line troops to serve as instructors in the recruit training camp, Zhao Zhi's Kunming base will also send instructors from the US army to the training camp to teach, this is the decision made at the South Bank Villa Conference, and this conscription order issued by Chiang Kai-shek completely bypassed the Ministry of Military Affairs, that is to say, these 300,000 recruited recruits, Chiang Kai-shek did not expect the Ministry of Military Affairs to pay for guns, he wanted to create a force that only obeyed his own orders, Just like Zhao Zhi's Jewish Legion and Hitler's SS.
