Chapter 40: The Baldive Situation in Europe!
"The U.S. side is asking for a meeting with the president and prime minister?"
The next day, Qiu Fatzi received the news of the meeting.
"Hold off for a few days."
Qiu Fatzi waved his hand directly.
He knew what the cripple wanted to do.
But he also has his ideas.
From September last year to the end of June, nearly 5 million tons of bombs have fallen on the British Isles, and there is no intact building left in the British Empire itself, almost all factories, ports, railways, bridges, and houses have been destroyed, the production and construction of the entire country have come to a standstill, transportation exchanges have been interrupted, and even the maintenance of a powerful fleet cannot be completed on its own.
One of the world's most advanced industrial countries has become what it is today.
It can be said that
The British Empire is finished.
Even if the war is won now and the Germans are wiped out, the British Empire will continue to decline, and the pound will continue to depreciate rapidly, because the British Empire, as the foundation of a great power, has no strong industrial capacity.
Without enough force, without strong economic power, without enough international influence, the huge colonies would instead become a burden and drag down the British Empire.
As for Europe, it will turn into a racetrack for the Americans, into a Europe for the Americans, and even, if there are no accidents, the British Empire will become a pawn of the United States.
Qiu Fatzi is very confident in his keen vision of the international situation.
But as the Prime Minister of the British Empire, he could not just accept the reality, although in the news he and Luo Cripple had a good personal relationship, but it was just a news story, and it involved competition between countries.
If you want to prevent the British Empire from becoming a pawn of the United States, you need to have your own strength, such as rapid recovery after the war, and the introduction of third-party forces.
Of course.
The premise is to win this war.
"What about two thousand planes?"
Qiu Fatzi suddenly changed the topic.
He was a little curious.
The group of British Empire lords went to ask for help in their private capacity, which has nothing to do with the official and does not belong to diplomacy between countries.
So, how will they tease this group of people?
"They got it."
The secretary paused before continuing:
"Some toy models."
"Haha."
Qiu Fatzi laughed directly.
He was not surprised by this.
There are only interests between countries, which are more cruel and ruthless than between people, and many things that ordinary people can't imagine are staged every day between countries.
Diplomacy without strength can only be a disgrace, and the amount of shame depends on the mood of the other party and how low your own strength is.
As you can imagine.
If, when the Japanese invaded them, those people came to the British Empire to ask for help, and they didn't plan to give anything, they just wanted to take it for nothing, and the shame would only be greater.
·······
At the same time, Heyuan County.
"Commissar."
Feng Nan asked Zhao Gang:
"Wouldn't it be a little bit if we did this..."
"A little out of place?"
Zhao Gang said the following questions.
"Yes."
Feng Nan nodded:
"They came to ask for help, they came as guests, and we are also allies, even if we don't plan to give support, we shouldn't give those toys to others."
"It's a bit of a joke."
"If it's other countries."
Zhao Gang paused, lowered his tone and replied:
"If you do this, I will stop Lao Li."
"But the UK."
Speaking of this, Zhao Gang squinted his eyes, and his tone was a few degrees lower:
"It was all their own doing."
In the process, Zhao Gang deeply realized how many hidden dangers Britain had buried here, especially the border issue, which cost him an unknown number of brain cells to deal with.
Don't teach this group of arrogant and arrogant British a lesson, let them thoroughly recognize the reality, figure out what kind of onion they are, and it is estimated that they will have to jump out and make moths in the future.
······
Eastern Front.
One hundred and fifty kilometers outside Mosco, on a forward infantry position.
"Battalion commander."
A soldier with the latest submachine gun on his back was lying on his position, holding a telescope and staring at the enemy position in the distance, at this time, a battalion commander came over, and he quickly put down the telescope and saluted the battalion commander.
"Hmm."
After nodding his head, the battalion commander lay down behind the bunker and looked at the enemy positions in the distance with his binoculars.
The former fighters also continued to be on the alert.
"What's been happening lately?"
The battalion commander asked.
It's the first of July, and it's summer in Mosco, and the temperature is cool.
The Germans had advanced to the opposite side half a month earlier, and the forward troops were only one hundred and fifty kilometers from Mosco, but, to everyone's surprise, they stopped the offensive and began to build positions with an attitude of intent on confrontation.
The battalion commander was able to understand the decision of the other side.
In the summer, Mosco was even more difficult than in the winter, in order to stop the enemy, they destroyed all the road bridges, railways, leaving only those roads, now it often rains, the roads are muddy, even the tanks are very difficult to go up, the logistics supply is very difficult, and it is normal for the Germans to suspend the offensive.
That's the opportunity.
As soon as reinforcements from the rear are gathered and tanks are driven out of the factory, they will be able to launch a counterattack again and drive the enemy back again.
That's what the battalion commander thought in his heart.
"Enemy!"
Just as the battalion commander was about to return to the headquarters, the soldiers at the guard post suddenly shouted.
The battalion commander immediately returned to his cover, raised his binoculars, and saw several No. 4 tanks lined up in a triangular formation in a circular field of view, and behind the tanks were dense infantry rushing towards their positions.
"About a battalion."
The battalion commander roughly estimated that the strength of the troops on the opposite side was about one battalion, as many as his.
The discovery made him frown.
He was in a newly formed division, and under his command was also a newly formed battalion, which was formed not long ago, and was responsible for defense was also a marginal position, with mountainous terrain and inconvenient transportation, which was not suitable for large troops to pass through.
How could the enemy send a battalion of troops to attack?
This is not normal.
Generally speaking, the enemy's forces in front of his own position are only two-thirds of his own, and the troops of an attack are less than half of their own.
"Prepare for battle."
While ordering the troops to prepare for battle, the battalion commander brought in a communications soldier and informed the regimental headquarters in the rear of what he had discovered.
Soon, dozens of soldiers on the position pushed two anti-tank guns from the anti-artillery holes and pushed them into the positions that had been dug long ago.
"That's a good shot."
Touching an anti-tank gun beside him, the battalion commander praised in a praising tone.
It is said that this is artillery from Asia, imported.
Although it is not as far-reaching as his own 57 long barrel, nor as good as his own form 85 anti-tank gun, if he chooses three types of artillery, he will definitely choose this anti-tank gun.
As a veteran on the battlefield who had experienced the first Battle of Mosco, he knew very well that an anti-tank gun could penetrate deep enough, and this 75 anti-tank gun could penetrate the Germans' No. 4 tank head-on with armor-piercing shells at 700 meters, which was enough.
Mobility, reliability, and ease of production are equally important.
Compared to the 57 long barrel, this gun is reliable enough and easy to produce, and he lost all the anti-tank guns in the battle last month, that is, two guns, and two will be added later, which is very suitable for today's war.
Compared with the 85 anti-tank gun, this 75 anti-tank gun is much more mobile, it is very convenient to transfer positions, and the accuracy is much higher.
"Fire."
Although it was a new unit, the training was obviously good, and the soldiers opened fire in turn, blocking the approaching enemy, but many places also showed that they were recruits, such as the first shot missed, such as machine guns firing at the tank head-on.
"Huh?"
As soon as he made contact, the battalion commander found that the enemy attacking at this time was different from the previous one, and it seemed that he was seriously inexperienced.
Like his troops, they are all recruit eggs.
"What's going on?"
The battalion commander was puzzled.
This doesn't seem to be German?
An hour later, the attacking enemy retreated, leaving a destroyed tank No. 4 and a corpse in front of the position, but they also lost an anti-tank gun on their position, and many soldiers were killed.
The two sides almost played to a draw.
Rookies peck at each other.
"Wave Man."
Commanding the troops to clean up the battlefield, the battalion commander turned pale:
"They shouldn't have been spared."
Then he called a communications soldier and informed the regiment commander behind him of the news.
······
Regiment headquarters.
"The front of our regiment is a regimental army of wavering servants."
The head of the regiment also turned pale, and his tone was murderous:
"I should have killed these wallgrasses if I knew so."
Although the combat effectiveness is not strong, far inferior to the Germans, but under the arms of the Germans, it is not weak, and when the number is equal, it can still bring them great trouble.
This attack, although he repelled the enemy's attack, he also paid a considerable price.
"Tell the division headquarters the news."
The head of the regiment also found a correspondent and informed the higher-ups.
At the same time, on this line of defense, one with a regiment was doing the same thing.
······
Messages are uploaded layer by layer.
Finally gathered at a high place.
Inside the conference room.
"There are a large number of servant armies of various countries."
A general looked solemn at the information that came out of the statistics:
"There are about 200 divisions in scale, there is not much gap between the weapons and equipment and the German army, and there are a large number of tanks and heavy artillery."
"So much!"
The face of the topmost general changed.
They knew that the Germans had begun to recruit the servant army on a large scale, and they also began to strengthen the servant army, which in turn made up for the lack of human resources.
For example, the Germans provided sophisticated weapons and equipment for the old ordinary armies such as Rome and Hungary, and reorganized them, greatly increasing their combat effectiveness and providing a large amount of materials, which made the enthusiasm for joining the army at home high, and the morale of the troops was extremely strong, and they could even fight with their own elite troops without falling behind.
But I didn't expect that there were actually 200 divisions.
That's more than three times what they expected.
The Germans carried out military reforms last year, including the servant army, a division of about 13,000 people, and a 170 division is ·····
Cold sweat began to drip from the general's forehead.
Counting the Germans, as well as the Italian army that provided logistics in the rear, there was no longer any advantage in the number of troops on the Eastern Front.
"No wonder they don't go on the offensive."
The general muttered to himself.
He knew about the plan for the unification of Europe, but he didn't expect the progress to be so fast, in just one year, so many servant troops were pulled out, it is conceivable that if the confrontation continues, I am afraid that it is possible for the servant army troops to be doubled.
When the time comes.
Cold sweat grew on the general's forehead.
Once the enemy has an advantage in strength, what do they do to stop the enemy's attack?
"Report the news immediately..."
The general decisively chose to continue reporting.
······
"The situation on the Eastern Front is very bad."
At the White House, Franklin listened to the secretary's debriefing:
"The Germans recruited a large number of servant corps, which in size exceeded two hundred divisions on the Eastern Front."
"Two hundred."
Franklin's face changed.
He thought that the number of German servant troops would be large, but this figure was more than twice the number in his heart, and this was only the number of servant troops on the Eastern Front.
And not counting the bomber units of the Western Front.
"What's going on?"
Mr. President does not understand.
"They're crazy."
Donovan, who answered Mr. President:
"The Germans provided extremely cheap food, fuel, medicine, cotton, cement, steel bars, automobiles and other raw materials and commodities to European countries, so that Europe is currently well supplied."
"Prices of all kinds are a third lower than they were before the war."
"And then..."
Donovan detailed information on Europe.
"Where the hell did these supplies come from?"
Franklin rubbed his forehead.
The story of Europe is actually quite simple.
Kidnap.
Mustache takes advantage of the effects of the last economic crisis.
Economically, through cheap and sufficient materials, food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as a large number of factory orders to create jobs, to buy people from all over the world, because raw materials are also provided by Germany, and orders are also provided by Germany, which not only contributes to the economic cycle, but also makes a lot of money in this business, and also spreads the mark easily throughout the European continent.
In terms of rectification (prevention and harmony), draw a pie of a federal Europe, which can not only be independent, but also enjoy low prices and unified national defense, so as to brainwash young people and the people.
The two-pronged approach instantly absorbed the hearts and minds of almost all of Europe.
Then, brandishing marks, repairing, repairing bridges, repairing anti-aircraft towers, recruiting soldiers, and using the gimmick of the European Union to inspire troops to fight on the front lines.
Although he could see the conspiracy at a glance, in fact, all of Europe was played with by the mustache and helped by him to the chariot, but there were very few people who had these horizons.
Small kiosk
And.
There is one more key question.
"Where did they get these supplies?"
Franklin didn't understand:
"Unless there are raw materials at almost no cost, fuel, civilian cars, grain, cotton, etc., the Germans will definitely go bankrupt."
For ordinary people, there is no one who does not want low prices, low living costs and high wages, especially those who went hungry after the great economic crisis of a decade ago.
It's just that economically, in terms of productivity, this is simply not possible - unless raw materials, as well as some goods, can appear out of thin air and have no cost.
However, once someone does this, with a little publicity, it will be seen as a savior and cause a crazy following.
"I don't know."
Donovan shook his head directly.
"The other side is also..."
Franklin fell into deep thought.
"I doubt it. ”
Donovan continued:
"These abundant materials may have something to do with space technology."
"Makes sense."
Mr. President nodded in agreement.
Although there is no evidence, it is logically speculated that it is extremely likely. After all, Germany, as well as on the other side, seems to have similar technologies, and then both have an abundance of various supplies - giving the feeling of inexhaustibility.
Donovan then left.
In the presidential palace, Franklin was still rubbing his forehead, his eyes flashing, indicating that he was pondering.
The speed of Mustache's integration in Europe was much faster than he expected, which made Mr. President feel the crisis, and at this rate, it will not be long before Mustache can solve the problem of manpower shortage.
The Cherbourg area is still deadlocked, and it has never been able to break through, and this is still a situation where the army is insufficient.
If there are enough troops...
"Mr. President."
A secretary suddenly walked in:
"Mr. Donovan wants to see you"
The secretary's voice fell, and Donovan, who was full of joy, rushed in:
"Mr. President, I got a piece of information about the warehouse."
