The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Late at night, Popov returned to his residence reeking of alcohol.

He had an unconcealable smile on his face. Although he was a little drunk, he was extremely excited.

“Hehe, the conditions offered by the Third Reich are so generous that I can’t refuse them!”

When Popolov thought of the conditions offered to him by the representative of the Third Reich just now, he couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

When the Third Reich released Denikin and others and prepared to let Denikin start to form the New Bear, Popolov and others were keenly aware that this was an opportunity for them.

An opportunity for them to leave the Red Bear and join the New Bear to seek wealth.

For the people in the broken ship of the Red Bear, they don’t have many choices today.

There are only two paths before them: first, follow Starling and others and continue to stay on the broken ship of the Red Bear and wait for death.

Second, find the right opportunity to escape from this broken ship and surrender to the Third Reich.

For���A choice that will almost certainly lead to death without a burial place, no rational person would consider it first.

The situation of the war on the Eastern Front was already very clear at this time. Millions of German troops had already broken through their capital, and even held a military parade in their capital at this moment.

In this case, it was simply a pipe dream to expect a comeback by relying on Kazan and the Siberian wilderness in the east.

Millions of Soviet troops on the Eastern Front failed to stop the German army. Could these remnants of the defeated army under Starlin be the opponent of the German army?

There was no need to think about the answer at all, it was impossible!

If they continued to follow Starlin’s path to the end, it would be a dead end!

Therefore, they were originally more inclined to the second option.

However, the bears like Popolov were still a little hesitant in their hearts.

Because they were worried that they would be liquidated after surrendering.

Before they were sure of the attitude of the Third Reich towards them, they did not dare to act rashly, because if they were not careful, they might die!

Therefore, Popov and others have been observing. They were not in a hurry to surrender at first. They started to get anxious when the German army was at the gates of the city and had already reached Kazan.

So Popov and others quickly sent representatives to try to contact the people of the Third Reich to discuss surrender.

They knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer. If it continued, when the German army arrived and flattened the Ural industrial areas such as Kazan in one fell swoop, they would completely lose the qualification to bargain with the Third Reich!

At that time, whether they wanted to or not, they could only be prisoners of the Third Reich, and prisoners had no ability to control or choose their own destiny.

On the Third Reich side, the head of Mainz had been thinking about a question before: whether to kill Starling completely.

It stands to reason that if a political strongman like Starling is not completely eliminated, maybe he can really turn the tables one day.

And once he really turns the tables, it will inevitably pose a considerable threat to the Third Reich.

So at the beginning, Mainz was inclined to kill him completely.

However, after determining the strategy of establishing a puppet regime in the territory of the bear and then dividing and ruling, he hesitated again.

The best way to completely control the puppet regime of Denikin and others is to continuously exert tremendous pressure on them, so that they have to turn to the Third Reich in an all-round way and rely on the protection and support of the Third Reich.

In this way, the Third Reich does not need to worry about being betrayed by the bear.

And there are only two directions that can threaten a puppet regime: internal troubles and external troubles!

The internal troubles are very simple. Support a large number of oligarchs within the puppet regime, let the oligarchs occupy a large amount of resources, form various monopoly classes, collude with the puppet regime of the bear, and use this to exploit the lower-level bear people. In this way, the lower-level people are bound to hate the puppet regime and these oligarchs, and always think about overthrowing their oppression and rule.

Faced with such huge internal troubles, this group of oligarchs and puppet regimes have no legitimacy at all. Therefore, in order to maintain their existence and privileges, they must find a powerful backer to rely on, and this backer has only one choice, the Third Reich.

Because of this, their interests will be deeply tied to the Third Reich!

Whether they are reluctant or not, they have to completely surrender to the Third Reich and cannot betray the Third Reich.

Because once they want to betray, they will completely lose the support of the Third Reich, and even the Third Reich may provide support to those who oppose them. For them, it is simply a matter of cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot. Once this happens, their end will definitely be very miserable! If this method is well operated, it can work.

However, considering that the Mao Bear has just given birth to a revolutionary regime like the Red Mao Bear, the passion of the workers and peasants in the folk to rebel and make revolution has not yet cooled down.

In this case, the method of provoking the internal troubles of the Mao Bear may not be good enough to shoot itself in the foot.

If the flames of revolution sweep across the entire Mao Bear, the Third Reich will be forced to send troops to help them quell the rebellion!

When Mainz thought of the poor geographical location and harsh climatic conditions of the Russian Bear, he was very reluctant to send troops to the Russian Bear to help them quell the rebellion, because the cost of mobilizing troops in such a place is extremely high, and the scale of the troops to be dispatched will inevitably be very large, because the area of the Russian Bear is so damn large!

Therefore, this method was rejected by him.

Since it is impossible to create internal conflicts, we can only artificially create a powerful foreign enemy.

As for foreign enemies, among the large number of countries around the Russian Bear, except for the native chickens and Persia over there, there seems to be no strong country.

The Celestial Empire in the Far East is separated by a desert and is too far away from their core area, so it does not pose a threat at all.

Therefore, the best external threat is Starlin and the remaining Soviet troops under his command.

Let these people run to the Far East and Siberia, which can create an external enemy for the puppet regime of the Russian Bear.

It can also weaken the puppet regime to a great extent. After all, the remnants of the army of Starlin and others will occupy a large area, and will also cut off the connection between the bear regime and the Far East, so that Denikin’s puppet regime can only seek help from the West. The

Third Reich has the final say in Europe, and if they want help, they can only turn to the Third Reich.

In this way, the Third Reich can control the puppet regime at a relatively small cost, and they can even fan the flames on both sides, incite them to fight, and then sell weapons to both sides, plundering the wealth in the bear’s territory in the most labor-saving way!
