Fang Minghao was ordered to go to Berlin and tried to join forces with the generals of the Army and Navy to persuade the German dictator to cancel or postpone his plan to attack the Soviet Union. The Republican army is currently unable to make any moves, and the Japanese local operations require at least 2.5 million Army.
The two major fleets of the Navy, and the approximately 1.2 million army in Australia is trapped there, while in Africa, it is also necessary to increase its troops to more than 1 million. The total number of troops in the Republic's Army has reached its limit.
As for the navy, the five major fleets, plus 500,000 Marines, bases and logistics enlistments, the Republican Navy, which has 1.5 million soldiers, also felt that its strength was short.
The U.S. Army has gradually been sent to the battlefields of Australia and Africa, and it is expected to form an army and marine corps with 5 million intakes. The scale of the navy is also expanding rapidly, which has already formed a heavy burden on the future battle situation.
and information shows that about 1 million to 1.2 million Japanese Army has also undergone re-equipment and training with the help of the United States, which has become a factor that cannot be ignored.
The prospect of the war was covered with an ominous cloud, but at this time, Hitler was looking for trouble and insisted on attacking the Soviet Union. Deputy Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, Ambassador Yang Jie and Fang Minghao tried to conduct a strategic focus with the German head of state.
Communication, although hope is slim, they still persuaded Adolf Hitler to be more cautious in the decision to attack the Soviet Union. The primary goal of the war is to defeat Britain.
But the problem of Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union was that his attitude was extremely firm, and he could no longer easily make the small moves Zhuashvili made behind his back. When Germany attacked France, Russian took the opportunity to annex the three Baltic countries and forced Germany's ally Romania to cede it.
Moldova to the Soviet Union.
In addition, the Communist Party joined the Communist Party and launched a coup in Yugoslavia, expelling the pro-German king.
"Russia must be punished. Now it is time for them to pay the price for their greed!" Hitler's tone was extremely tough, with no room for maneuver.
"But you are not ready. According to our information, Russia has imitated the Republican tanks obtained from the battlefield. They have now made JS heavy tanks equipped with 85mm main guns and weighing 41 tons.
No German tank is the opponent of this Russian tank." Fang Minghao said, "You should be equipping the brave German soldiers with a new armored vehicle that can deal with this Russian tank to deal with them."
"Yes, the intelligence department has made a report on this. In order to deal with the heavy tanks imported by Russia, we have developed a No. 5 heavy tank equipped with 88mm tank guns. We will start equipping this new type in the winter.
The number of tanks No. 5 is probably not enough to meet the needs of war." General Guderian, the director of the German armored corps, saw the head of state turn his eyes to him and quickly said: "We are not fully prepared, I think the 'Barbarossa' plan
It should be appropriate to postpone it until 1942."
"No, we must not wait any longer!" The successive victory on the battlefield made Hitler become more and more stubborn, "Isn't there still seven months left? The major military factories of the Empire will be in these seven months
It is fully producing the tanks needed by the army!”
The Luftwaffe suffered heavy losses in the British airstrike. The BF109, which showed off its skills in the early stages of the war, was already a little old, while the British Spitfire and American P40 fighters were slightly better than Germany. The British are getting stronger and stronger.
After all, Germany could not cross the not-so-wide Channel of Yingguli, but instead turned its gun and pointed its target at Soviet Russia.
The Republican Army is stepping up cleaning up the Suez Canal. The Allied side, who is generally on the defensive, gave them a valuable respite. The possibility of the British landing of the German army almost exists, and the United States will join the war.
It will kick off the Allies' counterattack.
Hitler's unruly chaotic strategy deepened the crisis on the Allies. In Australia, due to the limitation of supply capacity, the Republican army was unable to launch a large-scale offensive after conquering Darwin Port and Perth in the south. In North Africa,
1.2 million British African troops occupied France's Morocco and Tunisia, and Italian troops were expelled from Algeria.
After receiving a pledge of aircraft and tanks with US aid, the strength of the British army has been significantly improved, and the US army is also preparing to land in this area. In southern Africa, 170,000 US troops and 230,000 British African colonial and Republican troops are also preparing to land.
The two armies confront each other in Rhodesia across Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Malawi, and the current situation is relatively stable.
Admiral Carinas, Director of the German Affairs Bureau, once formulated a combat plan to win over Spain to participate in the war and attack Gibraltar, the British Mediterranean Fleet base. Since Hitler transferred his interest to Russia in the east, he put the plan on hold.
Get up.
Fang Minghao was very interested in this plan, so he found General Kalinas.
Karinas, who was in charge of the intelligence department, was worried that the head of state would launch a full-scale war against the Soviet Union, and he provided Fang Minghao with most of the intelligence he received from Spain.
"Why did Franco choose to withdraw from the middle of the way?" Fang Minghao asked. The information obtained from Germany, the Spanish dictator initially agreed to join the Allies with conditions, and the British occupation of Gibraltar was
The most unbearable shame for all Spain.
"The heads of state cannot meet the conditions proposed for the entry of Spain. Their army lacks the necessary equipment and even food cannot meet the supply." General Carinas said, "Franco repeatedly asked Gibraltar to take control of the entry of Spain.
This also makes it difficult for the head of state to accept."
"A closed Mediterranean controlled by us plays an immeasurable role in the direction of war. Only by grasping control of the Mediterranean can the war in Europe continue, otherwise we may stop!" Fang Minghao said
, “It’s not very difficult for us to withdraw from the war.”
After hearing this, Arenas broke out in a cold sweat. Without the support of China, Germany would definitely not be able to deal with the war between Britain and the United States. What Fang Minghao said is the fact that China only needs to make a part of its concessions, and Britain would definitely sit in the process.
I came down to negotiate with them. But for Germany, Chuguel would not, as it involved the issue of European leadership.
"We will fully cooperate with your actions in Spain and provide as much information as possible." Admiral Carinas assured Fang Minghao, "I will use my personal friendship with Mr. Franco to provide you with the greatest possible support."
Help.”
"It is difficult for Germany to win the war with Russia. Judging from the current situation, we are unable to help you." Fang Minghao said, "We have to do our best to get rid of Japan first."
"The head of state has now been very difficult to listen to the generals' advice. I hope that military failure will not turn into a disaster in the end." The responsible person of the German Affairs Bureau expressed his powerlessness in this regard.
Although there was no way to stop Hitler from launching a war against Russia, Fang Minghao's trip to Berlin was a small gain. At least he got news from Germany, and Franco was easily attracted.
Of course, if you want Spain to get involved in the war, you must pay something.
