On Valentine's Day in 1939, Germany's newest battleship "Bismarck" held a grand launching ceremony on Slip No. 9 of the Blohm Voss Shipyard in Hamburg, with cheers from nearly 100,000 people.
In the middle, the mustachioed German head of state led thousands of his officials to the viewing platform of the shipyard. Ms. Dorothea von Lowenfeld, the granddaughter of former iron chancellor Count Bismarck, threw a bottle of champagne to the ship.
The bow of the new battleship was named after her grandfather, the famous iron-blooded chancellor Otto von Bismarck. At 13:30 that day, the world's most powerful battleship, the "Bismarck" with a standard displacement of nearly 43,000 tons, was
Successfully launched into the water.
Adolf Hitler, who not long ago won a great victory over the Czech Sudetenland issue, is still an irreplaceable focal figure. His great diplomatic success has made his reputation even higher. He reviewed the naval honor guard with great interest and came to watch.
People raised their hands in salute at the launching ceremony of the "Bismarck", and people greeted the head of state with a Nazi-style raised hand salute.
Due to the strict restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, the German armaments development after World War I was greatly restricted. However, the officers of the German Wehrmacht were not willing to accept that Germany's military technology was lagging behind under the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles.
In response to the world situation, Germany's military technology was quietly developed through various methods.
Krupp has artillery factories in Sweden and China to develop new artillery, while MAN has cooperated with the Republican Army in Wuhu to establish a large diesel engine factory and a large tractor (tank) factory. Volcan and Japan
Mannia also maintains long-term cooperation with several Chinese shipbuilding companies. This is how many military-industrial research projects of the German Army Staff are conducted secretly abroad.
In 1933, after Hitler came to power, he began to try to break the many restrictions on German military equipment imposed by the Treaty of Versailles and reorganize German military equipment. In June 1935, Germany reached the Anglo-German Naval Agreement in the United Kingdom.
》, which stipulates that the total tonnage of German naval ships shall not exceed 35% of the total tonnage of British Commonwealth naval ships stipulated in the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty. In terms of submarines, Germany guarantees that the submarines it owns
The tonnage does not exceed 45% of the total submarine tonnage of the British Commonwealth navies, thus legally lifting all restrictions on the development of the German navy under the Treaty of Versailles.
What is different from the history of another world is that since China and China have maintained very close economic and military cooperation after World War I, Germany is ahead of Republican China in materials science and precision machining technology, but in military industry
However, China needs help in terms of product design and manufacturing experience, so the two countries have many similarities in military technology.
When the German Navy designed and built two "Scharnhorst-class" battleships, it clearly referred to the "Congling-class" battleships built by the Republic of China, and also revised the "Congling-class" battleships discovered after they were put into service.
Some of the design flaws were simply because Hitler ended up equipping 10 320mm main guns in order to avoid irritating the British too much.
The "Bismarck-class" battleship is actually an enhanced version of the "Scharnhorst-class" battleship. Under the vigorous propaganda of Nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels, it seems that the German Empire has regained its former glory as the largest military power in Europe.
After the launching ceremony of the "Bismarck", when the imperial head of state summoned his generals, he unexpectedly proposed to completely solve the Czech problem, "We want to put all this country under the management of the empire!" February 15
On the same day, Hitler convened the top generals of the army and navy to deliver a speech on the Sudetenland Czech issue, "Rescue our 350 compatriots from a barbaric and backward government, and eliminate the hostility and threats caused by it! If necessary, we will
We will use force directly!" Such a direct and tough statement by the head of state left a very deep impression on the generals.
"The problem is that this may trigger a full-scale war with Britain and France..." Chief of the Wehrmacht General Staff Franz Halder cautiously expressed his opposition. Now Hitler is a hero in the eyes of the Germans and is tough.
Opposition will not yield any good results.
The commander of the Third Military District, Erwin von Witzleben, also expressed the same opinion. The defense area of the Third Military District is Berlin and the surrounding areas. Witzleben is also a very important figure in the Wehrmacht.
"The British are locked in a war with the Chinese and have made it clear that they will not interfere in Czech affairs. I can assure you that this will never trigger a war!" Hitler patiently persuaded his generals, relatively *
The Wehrmacht of Germany was not an SS force at his mercy.
"I have decided that the Third Armored Division will carry out the task of occupying the Czech Republic. Before that, I will persuade the Czechs to agree to our conditions." The persuasion mentioned by the head of state is actually intimidation and coercion. At this point, the German leader seems to have
A superb stance.
"If it is a peaceful entry, I have no objections." Lieutenant General Guderian, director of the German armored forces, said, "However, according to the intelligence returned from the battlefield in Central Asia, the performance of a new type of tank equipped by the Republican Army has far exceeded ours.
The latest equipped Panzer IV, we need to update our equipment, my head of state."
"This has led Krupp and MAN to negotiate with the Chinese. The empire has always supported such technology exchanges and was careful not to let the British get the news." The head of state has always attached great importance to the development of armored forces. In this regard, he expressed concern for Guderian's
Support was spared no effort, and he was even more inspired by the Chinese victories on the battlefields in Southeast Asia and Central Asia.
"Each visa to China is US$1,000. We need a lot of resettlement funds, Mr. Haim." At the Chinese Consulate in Vienna, He Fengming, the Consul General of the Republic of China in Vienna, said to the visiting Austrian Jewish leader Haim: "President
We deeply sympathize with the unfortunate experience of Jews throughout Europe. In line with humanitarian principles, the Republic of China agrees to accept Jewish refugees into the country. But as you know, we are now in the midst of a war and have very difficult finances, so you need to raise the resettlement costs yourself.
"
"Mr. He, we understand the difficulties of the republican government and will do our best to raise the necessary funds. But as you know, since 'Kristallnacht', the Nazis have intensified their persecution of the Jews, and the properties of many families have been destroyed.
Confiscate it, some people are still unable to come up with such a large sum of money." Haim begged with an embarrassed look on his face.
"We are not forcing all families to come up with this money now, but they must have reliable institutions to guarantee their lives, and they can make up payments in the future."
"We will speed up the fundraising, but for the Jews leaving the country, the German immigration agencies and the SS have strengthened inspections, stipulating that each Jewish person leaving the country cannot carry more than ten dollars in cash and property. Some families have excess property in your country.
Can we provide more help?"
"We will provide necessary help in this regard. We have banks in Germany that can help these people exchange their valuables into deposits. They can make withdrawals in China with proof of identity."
All of this was done at the behest of the country, where there are about 200,000 Jews, including dozens of world-class scientists. At their request, the president agreed to accept millions of persecuted Jewish refugees in Europe.
When the whole world closed its doors to the Jews, only the Chinese extended a caring and helping hand.
Although this kind of assistance has certain conditions, and along with the millions of refugees, billions of dollars in resettlement deposits are required, but this money is not enough for those extremely greedy Jewish business groups who use all means to grab huge wealth around the world.
This is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
The door has been opened for you. If even your Jewish compatriots are not willing to contribute money to help, what does it have to do with us?
It's just asking you to cough up some of your money. Since 1940, the Jewish opium dealers in China have made too much hard-earned money in China. There is no reason for the Chinese to help the compatriots of these black-hearted opium dealers for free.
