The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

Soon, August, who was far away in the City Palace, received a telegram from Ribbentrop, saying that Greece agreed to join the European Community and use a unified currency.

This was good news for August, which meant that the war was moving step by step in the direction he planned.

Putting aside the strategy, the German army could definitely beat 99% of the countries in terms of tactics, and the quality of individual soldiers was absolutely at the forefront.

It was just that when it came to strategy, the German army was far behind.

First of all, the navy's combat effectiveness was low, unable to break the commerce and open up the situation, and was blocked in the Atlantic.

If August hadn't gotten a batch of P-15 anti-ship missile torpedo ships, it would have severely damaged the Royal Fleet.

It is estimated that the navy was still locked in the port and dared not go out to sea, let alone land on the British Isles. The fate waiting for the German army was to be counterattacked, and finally suicide was inevitable.

In addition, the failure of the North African campaign caused the German army to completely lose control of the Mediterranean, and it was possible that the Allied forces would counterattack the mainland at any time.

If Rommel had not been dispatched to Rome in time, Italy would have announced its withdrawal from the war, which would have been a heavy blow to the German army.

In addition, a huge oil field was discovered in Aliya, which allowed France to join the war. In addition, their navy barely managed to keep the oil field. Although their navy had been severely damaged, it was not a problem to put together a fleet. After all, they were also one of the five major naval powers. If they didn't have this foundation, they really couldn't get along.

With the momentum of the German army's capture of the British Isles, they threatened Spain and forced Franco to send troops to attack Gibraltar. In addition, the German and French naval fleets launched a sneak attack and finally captured the Strait of Gibraltar.

In this way, the deadlock in the Mediterranean was broken. With the"940" Strait of Gibraltar, the navy could enter and exit the Mediterranean at any time. Together with the remaining Italian warships, they formed a three-nation coalition fleet, which had already crushed the enemy's Mediterranean fleet in terms of strength.

As long as the situation in the Mediterranean can be stabilized temporarily, if you want to completely reverse the situation, you have to start from North Africa. August decided to send troops to Libya from Arlia and then move forward, because the route from France to Arlia is very safe, and there is no need to worry about the enemy fleet's sneak attack.

In this way, the logistics transportation line is safe, and the German army can exert great combat effectiveness. It is absolutely wishful thinking for the US military to stop the German attack with its little combat effectiveness. With the oil fields behind, the tank troops can open their arms and attack forward without worrying about fuel.

In order to complete such a layout, August has put a lot of thought into it, but when he sees the rewards, everything is worth it.

What needs to be done now is to send the army to Arlia, and the 500,000 troops gathered by the French army will fight all the way east to the Suez Canal. The navies of Germany, France and Italy will find the right time to fight a decisive battle with the enemy fleet. As long as they can severely damage them, the balance of victory will tilt towards the German army.

So at this time, August no longer has to worry about the situation in the Mediterranean. Just maintain it like this. The French army will keep a close eye on the logistics, and the British Isles on the Western Front can be more relieved.

The government army formed by Edward VIII has begun to attack northwards and has recovered a large area of territory. The port cities in the south have also begun to resume production. Together with the shipyards in France, the German army will have hundreds of warships in half a year at most.

By then, it will be possible to soar in the Atlantic Ocean and even extend the strategy further.

The only thing that worries August is the two fronts of Turkey and the Eastern Front. First of all, let's talk about the Turkey front.

The terrain is mountainous and the front is too short. Large troops cannot be deployed. Turkey only needs to send a small number of troops to block the German army outside the border.

What's more, once Turkey is attacked, the Allies will definitely invite Turkey to join them immediately. At that time, they will receive a steady stream of reinforcements, and even the Allies will open up a second battlefield from Turkey.

Because the German army is in control of the sea, they want to open up a second battlefield, either Italy or Turkey.

But Italy has Rommel's defense, and it is absolutely impossible to expand the results of the war in a short time. The only way is to start from Turkey.

Fortunately, August bought another batch of thermobaric bombs. When the time comes, once the thermobaric bombs are dropped, no matter how complex the terrain is, they can be taken.

As for the Turkish army digging out the mountain, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the thermobaric bombs will appear and destroy everything.

The only worry is that it will be a bit troublesome to cross the strait. At that time, the American fleet and the Turkish fleet will definitely help, and once the narrow place is bombed by naval guns, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

But this can also be solved. The Hurricane rocket launchers that have been obtained will be lined up and bombarded at the British, American and Turkish fleets. Not to mention sinking them, it is absolutely possible to scare them. If you are lucky, you can sink one or two ships. It's hard to say. If it doesn't work, let the Il-28 bombers bomb in turns. It will definitely ensure that the troops can cross the sea smoothly.

In this way, the Turkish front line does not need to worry too much. As long as a batch of new weapons are supported, there will be no big problem. The rest depends on the command of the front-line generals.

Finally, it was the Eastern Front. To be honest, August didn't have a good solution for the Eastern Front. He just had to compete in consumption, national strength, and resources. Who had more resources and a stronger foundation? Fortunately, August had already begun to integrate Europe. I believe that it won't be long before the frontline soldiers will get more supplies, and they can drink ice-cold dark beer at any time, just like the M Army.

If you tell the logistics department in the morning that you want to eat meat, it will be delivered at noon. There will be three hours of artillery fire before the charge, and the air force will have another round of carpet bombing. There will be air gunboat support during the charge, and rockets can provide 24-hour support. These will not be a dream.

August believed that the integrated Europe would burst out with amazing energy. What is lacking now is time.

Don't look at the two battles that wiped out nearly one million Soviet troops, but the thought that they still have tens of millions of troops makes your scalp numb, not to mention that the bearded man will never stop fighting until every soldier is killed.

""The bearded man has a headache." August muttered

"Marshal Keitel, how is the situation on the Eastern Front?"

Upon hearing this, Marshal Keitel immediately said,"The Manstein Group has surrounded the Southwestern Front and is ready to launch a general offensive at any time."

"However, General Manstein sent several telegrams requesting additional supplies."

When August heard about the supply, he smiled bitterly. It was supply again. The disadvantage of stretching the battle line too long was that the supply was too troublesome.

But now the war has reached a critical point, and the supply must not be cut off, otherwise there will be problems.

After all, the Manstein Group and the Guderian Group were the most elite troops on the Eastern Front. Once they were lost, it would be a fatal blow to the entire Eastern Front, and it might even be counterattacked.

"Didn't the logistics department send any supplies?" August asked with a frown.

"The transport line is too long. It is too slow to rely on railways alone, and it also needs to be transferred."Marshal Keitel said helplessly.

Hearing this, August nodded and said:"This will happen when the battle line is too long. How can we solve the logistics problem? Don't we have C-130 transport planes? Aren't they enough?"

At this time, Speer came to the office and heard August's words, and smiled bitterly:"Your Majesty, the C-130 transport plane is indeed very powerful, but the number is still not enough.

We are now almost fighting on three fronts and require supplies everywhere, so the consumption of transport planes is relatively large.

Although there are Yun-5 transport planes to supplement, they are only suitable for short-distance transportation, not long-distance transportation, and the carrying capacity is low, which is not cost-effective at all.

"

After hearing this explanation, August was stunned at first, and then he said self-deprecatingly: I forgot that our supplies are all transported from the mainland, and the Yun-5 is indeed not suitable."

In fact, the Yun-5 has played a very important role at this time, especially on the front battlefield where the Yun-5 is everywhere. The landing and takeoff are particularly simple, without any special requirements, and it can take off on roads in the wild. You can often see the Yun-5 landing on the road.

It is precisely relying on the supply of the Yun-5 that the Manstein cluster can achieve such a strong record.

It's just that due to the high-intensity combat, the pre-war reserve materials have been consumed, so Manstein requested reinforcements and supplies.

In addition, during this period of time, the C-130 transport has been taking off, transporting, taking off, and transporting non-stop, and the loss is very large. The engines of some transport planes are close to termination. He must find a way to get another batch of transport planes out. Of course, all of this has to wait for the arrival of the gold in the book.

"Can we move some unimportant light industries to other countries, such as Poland, Romania, or even Hungary, so that the distance can be shortened when transporting from them?"August said, looking at the map.

To be honest, the Third Reich at this time was more like a hodgepodge, with everything produced and shipped out of the Third Reich. This not only wasted transportation capacity, but also manpower, and was also a great loss to the replenishment of troops.

Once those unimportant light industries were moved to other countries for production, a group of laborers would be released, and the German army could expand again....Hearing this ,

Speer was stunned, but soon came to his senses and said excitedly:"This is a good idea. It can not only release labor, but also drive the economic development of other countries. It is a great stimulus to the economy of the entire Europe."

But he frowned and said:"But other countries' production cannot guarantee progress or quality."

Hearing this, August smiled:"This is simpler. Let our people supervise the important positions. If they are unqualified, their wages will be deducted. With the stimulation of piecework wages, I believe those people will definitely be able to produce qualified materials."

Speer nodded excitedly. This is indeed a good idea. It may not have been possible in the past, but now it is the European Community, it is a whole, no difference between them, they are fully qualified to send management personnel to supervise

"In addition, we will move all unimportant industries to other countries. We will only keep core industries, such as heavy industries, and leave all others."August ordered again.

In fact, many countries have already done this. All light industries have been moved out, and they are not produced domestically. Only heavy industries are retained in the country to maintain core competitiveness.

August is also ready to take this path. The low-profit light industry can be completely abandoned. As long as the military industry is firmly in hand and the military strength is strong, the Third Reich will always be in a leading position.

""Ah? All moved out?" Speer said in surprise.

Field Marshal Keitel, who had been silent, was also shocked. If this news spread, many people would probably go on strike.

After all, it harmed the interests of many light industrial workers. If they couldn't make money, there would definitely be riots.

"Your Majesty, we have to slow down the relocation of light industry. We need to solve the living problems of hundreds of thousands of workers first."Marshal Keitel stood up and said.

Unfortunately, August was unmoved, as if he had expected it long ago. He immediately said:"I can freely arrange these hundreds of thousands of people. The workers in light industry are very mobile and have no technical content. Solving their living problems is very simple. The military is going to recruit soldiers, so we can recruit a group from them. In addition, I plan to build highways throughout Europe and a railway around Europe."

"All of these require a large number of people. I believe that these hundreds of thousands of workers can easily absorb them. Compared with the wages of light industry, the wages of road construction are not low, enough for them to work until retirement."How big is Europe? It is absolutely impossible to build highways and railways without decades.

Seeing August solve the problem of hundreds of thousands of workers so easily, Speer was deeply impressed and shocked by August's generosity. He really didn't expect to build a railway around Europe. This is a big project.

Although Europe is the origin of industry, the railways to many countries are not well developed, and there are not even a few railways in the country.���

What August wants to build is that every city has a railway line, and no matter which city you take the train from, you can go to other countries.

So this is a long and arduous project, which may take decades, but once completed, it will completely unleash the potential of the entire Europe.

""Your Majesty is wise!" Speer said admiringly.

August smiled at Speer's compliment and did not respond. Instead, he looked at Field Marshal Keitel.

"I plan to form an Army Air Force, which will be directly under the command of the Army Headquarters."

When Field Marshal Keitel heard about the Army Air Force, he was stunned. Didn't we already have an Air Force? Why did we need an Army Air Force? Isn't this redundant?

Is His Majesty dissatisfied with Catherine? That shouldn't be the case. The Air Force has been performing very well recently.

"I know what you are thinking. You are not dissatisfied with the Air Force. The newly established Army Aviation Corps is different from what you think. They are all composed of helicopters, responsible for opening up offensive channels for the infantry and clearing out the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower. Of course, they also have a strong strike effect on the guerrillas."August said lightly after looking at the expression of Field Marshal Keitel.

Hearing August's words, Field Marshal Keitel's eyes lit up. If it was true, then the combat effectiveness of the army would be greatly enhanced.

Thinking of this, Marshal Keitel's heart was hot, and he quickly said:"Your Majesty, what do I need to do?"

"You don't need anything, just accompany me to see those helicopters. After all, they haven't appeared since the last attack."_Faloo reminds you: Three things to do when reading - ∪ Collect, recommend, and share!
