my head

I don't know if Keitel will win Greece in lightning like Zhang Jun, and will not suffer at all.The Wehrmacht is full of talents, and its equipment and weapons are no worse than those of the SS. The newly expanded SS has only half of the tanks, but the Wehrmacht is also at a disadvantage. Although there are many tanks, there are only a few counterfeit Tigers and knockoffs. The number of Type 99 is not many, there are only three such heavy armored corps in total, Hitler allowed Keitel and the others to use one such heavy armored corps, and the other armored divisions of the Wehrmacht were mobilized at will.

"Generals and marshals, I think you also know that the head of state handed over the decision to send troops to Greece to our Wehrmacht. I mean we must send troops. The bastards of the SS deceived us with a fake exercise and then secretly attacked Denmark and Norway.

Those unscrupulous grandchildren are now awesome. They look at our National Defense Forces with contempt in their eyes, and they look awesome. They think they can show off in front of our National Defense Forces with a little sesame credit. No way, the important thing is that the status of the bastards in the hearts of the German people is rising. This is a problem that our Wehrmacht must not ignore. that onion.

"I agree with Marshal Keitel. The position of the German Wehrmacht cannot be shaken. We must find a way to suppress the SS. We can't let them go on like this. Because the SS has the support of the head of state, we can only use it. More outstanding military exploits, to combat the arrogance of the SS."

As the Minister of the National Defense Forces, Blumberg is still higher than the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces in terms of position. The National Defense Forces basically follow the tradition of whoever is the most senior official to speak first.Then Walter, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, spoke:

"I support sending troops. Germany's traditional armed forces. The Wehrmacht is an honorable and excellent army. We can't let the bastards of the SS steal the honor that belongs to our Wehrmacht. We must fight.

"We must fight, and we must not lose to the gangsters of the SS."

"I agree……"

Now that everyone agrees to send troops, which is in Keitel's arms, the next step is for everyone to discuss the specific steps for sending troops. This time, the head of state gave a limit for sending troops.A maximum of 30 Wehrmacht troops will be used, which is about the same as the last time the SS attacked Denmark and Norway. This time the German Wehrmacht is determined to compare with the SS, so it is very serious when formulating the "Battle of the Balkans" plan. .Of course, the will of the National Defense Forces is good. They want to make the National Defense Forces famous in one fell swoop. Only after fighting will they know the truth.

Keitel took the baton, came to the huge wall map, pointed to the border of Greece and began to tell:

"To enter northern Greece. We need to cross the Lodopi Mountains, where there are several river valleys and allow the passage of large military units. The two directions of attack are west of Kyustendil and bordering the Yugoslav-Bulgarian border, via Stru Mahe Valley is heading south. While many defenses and refortifications have been built on the Greek border to match the local terrain, we have to overcome the Greek defense system to defend the few local roads.

The Struma and Nestos rivers straddle the mountains along the Greek-Bulgarian border. The valleys of the rivers are protected by strong fortifications as part of the Metaxas Line. The bunkers and positions on this line date from the 1930s Built on the border with Bulgaria, its concept is similar to the Maginot Line, and its advantage is that it makes it difficult for attackers to approach the defensive stronghold of the defenders”

Only then did Kesselring stand up to speak. Kesselring was not interested in participating in political struggles, but when it came to military affairs, Kesselring was born with a persistent pursuit. He would do his part to express his views on the battle situation:

"Although the mountainous terrain of Greece is conducive to defensive strategies, the Rhodopi Mountains, Epirus Mountains, Bandus Mountains and Olympus Mountains can delay our offensive, but the Luftwaffe has enough power to make it difficult for the defenders Passing through the defiles in the mountains, our attack from Albania is easily blocked by the Bandus Mountains, and it is difficult for our tanks to pass through the terrain, but the terrain in the northeastern part of Greece cannot prevent us from launching from the northern border. attack."

Keitel still admired Kesselring's talent very much, and even wanted to transfer Kesselring to the army as commander-in-chief several times, but Keitel gave up because Hitler disagreed.

"Marshal Kesselring, tell me how to fight."

"Report, urgent message."

An intelligence officer hurried in with a telegram in his hand. The intelligence officer asked the high command to read it, and immediately read it aloud:

"Yugoslavia, a coup took place this morning. According to the efforts of our spies, the cause has been found out. Because Yugoslavia has joined the European Union, General Simovic, supported by Britain and France, will arrest the signatories and launch a coup. The underage Peter King II (the prince of Alexander, who was assassinated in Marseilles) became king and declared his allegiance to the West. The Chief of Staff of the British Empire, Dill, then visited Belgrade, and Churchill personally wrote to General Simovic, urging Yugoslavia to occupy Albania."

"Damn British bastards, always adding to the obstacles of the holy Germany, now we are not only attacking Greece, but also solving Yugoslavia together, rediscussing tactics."

Germany in history is preparing to attack the Soviet Union at this time. The German 12th Army has assembled in Romania and plans to enter Thrace and Thessaloniki via Bulgaria. Germany hopes that the Balkans will be safe.The coup in Yugoslavia threatened the right wing of the German army, which was about to attack the Soviet Union, and forced Hitler to draw troops into the Balkans. On April 1941, 4, German troops entered Greece and Yugoslavia. "The only purpose is to drive away the British who stayed here to break the peace." The Yugoslav coup delayed the "Barbarossa" attacking the Soviet Union for 6 weeks. The German army missed the precious summer and had to face a long war in vast Russia severe winter.Yugoslavia flew a claw again and changed history.

Now due to the appearance of Zhang Jun, many historical events have deviated, but important historical events are still rolling in according to the huge inertia of the historical wheel.Fortunately, Zhang Jun launched the battle between Denmark and Norway half a year in advance, so that Germany has enough time to deal with emergencies. I hope that the current situation in the Balkans will not drag down the "Barbarossa plan."

……

Of course Zhang Jun knew that the grandsons of the National Defense Army were discussing how to send troops to Greece behind closed doors. a strategic substance.

At this time, Germany is like a monster swallowing gold. Germany absolutely does not spare money for the materials that can be bought in the international market. It buys in large quantities, asks for money for money, wants goods for goods, wants gold for gold, even if it wants weapons, Germany also has a lot of money. Sell, as long as it is not an advanced German weapon.Hundreds of thousands of tons of transport ships arrived at German ports every day, and hundreds of them left loaded with various commodities. At this time, Germany's economy reached unprecedented prosperity unprecedented in history.The main reason is that Zhang Jun was able to persuade Hitler to spend money, even if it was the gold of the Reichsbank, Zhang Jun also encouraged Hitler to use it. Gold is kept in the vault and does not flow. It can only be metal, and only the gold that has been circulated has the highest value.

Zhang Jun's idea is very simple. Since Hitler wants to go to war, Germany has already embarked on this road that is doomed to no turning back, so he must be willing to spend his money. If he is a miser, he will not give up a penny, and let the German enemies loot after the defeat and go?It’s better to spend it now, and don’t worry about the depreciation of the German mark. This is not a super-issued mark. All gold purchases have corresponding materials. After processing, they will only produce higher economic value.

Britain and France are also riding a tiger. They signed a secret treaty with Germany and encouraged Germany to attack the Soviet Union. At this time, Germany played some tricks. This mentality does not restrict Germany from importing various minerals and launching the craziest big purchases.

"Cotton, how much do you have, 1000 million tons."

"Everything, what payment do you need?"

"I want gold."

"No problem at all..."

"Minister Zhang, I have 10 tons of vegetable oil?"

"Everything, what do you need..."

"I have pork...I have soybeans...I have wheat..."

"I want everything, and my staff officers want to purchase the price list..."

Zhang Jun's equipment department has now become a place where businessmen from various countries hold sales fairs. Those businessmen from various countries transport all kinds of materials, and Germany is not picky. They purchase according to the prices listed in Germany. Of course, they will still pay for the delivery According to the material classification, the price of high-quality products is of course higher, and the price of poor products can only be the lower limit price.Those merchants from various countries who had sold out their materials looked for various German products in the hall of the German Equipment Department, and agreed to buy them immediately and ship them back to China. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Germany's economy to be booming.Even the economies of Britain and France have benefited a lot from the strong pull of Germany.

The German economy is booming. The wages and income of workers have increased significantly. The same is true for the country's taxation. The materials that can be used in wars in Germany are also increasing rapidly. This is both good and bad. Germany's foreign exchange income has increased A lot, but more was spent, and Zhang Jun didn't even feel bad about using the gold in the national reserve.Of course, there were people talking behind their backs, and Zhang Jun didn't care about it. Anyway, Zhang Jun didn't embezzle a penny, and all the accounts are clear. You are welcome to check the accounts at any time.

Zhang Jun is still very confident about Germany's industrial production capacity. Even in history, Germany produced more than 4 aircraft, more than 1 tanks and 1800 heavy tanks in one year. Now, after Zhang Jun's vigorous rectification, Sufficient material provision and financial support, the production of heavy tanks alone will definitely not be lower than in history...
