The Third Reich: The Return of the King

“Führer, telegram from the South Atlantic!”

The navy, with such a large army, certainly cannot act on its own, after all, their actions may affect the entire war situation.

So they submitted their battle plan to the naval headquarters. After receiving the telegrams from several people, Dönitz was undecided, so he quickly sent the telegram to Führer Mainz.

“What are these people in the navy doing?”

Mainz was very confused after seeing the telegram. How could a small place like St. Helena accommodate hundreds of thousands of navy troops?

And shouldn’t they investigate before taking action?

“Well, they may think that this place is in a good location, and occupying it can threaten the entire Samba Kingdom!”

Chief of Staff Halder said something good for the navy.

In fact, the head of state made the decision to go to war with Samba Kingdom so hastily that they did not have much time to prepare.

The navy is undoubtedly the main force in this battle, so it is normal for them to want to show something!

“It’s just nonsense!”

Industry Minister Speer snorted coldly and said,”When Foreign Minister Ribbentrop visited South America before, he signed so many cooperation treaties with those countries in South America. Haven’t their navy paid attention to these things?”

In the telegram sent by the navy, a large number of material reinforcements were requested from the country.

Not to mention whether he could raise these materials, even if he really raised them, how to transport them to the South Atlantic thousands of miles away was also a problem.

So after receiving the other party’s telegram, Speer was very dissatisfied with the navy!

In his opinion, Foreign Minister Ribbentrop had already concluded cooperation agreements with the countries around Samba.

Moreover, these countries themselves are quite hostile to Samba. In this case, why doesn’t the navy use their help and apply to them to stop at their domestic ports for supplies?

For the navy, as long as they find a reliable and stable supply point so that they can operate normally, that’s enough. As for the Marine Corps Team, they can cooperate with the army, launch an attack on Samba from the north and south, or launch a landing war along the coastline of Samba under the cover of the navy, further exhaust and harass Samba, and weaken Samba’s strength.

Any of these plans is better than their current plan, and the production pressure on the domestic industry, especially that controlled by Speer, will not be so great.

In that case, he can consider concentrating production capacity and give priority to the production of important materials that meet the combat needs of the troops.

Ribbentrop, who was standing aside, saw that Speer was very angry, poured him a glass of water, and said with a smile:”Calm down, the navy just made a little mistake, after all, it has not caused too bad consequences, so there is still room for salvation!”

After that, Ribbentrop looked at Führer Mainz and said:”Führer, I think Speer’s words just now are a bit extreme, but they are not without merit!”

Mainz glanced at him and asked:”Do you have any good suggestions?”

“Well, my idea is to continue to exert the influence of diplomacy, take advantage of the empire’s current heyday of strength and global influence, win over the countries around Samba, and let them join our chariot. In this way, we can defeat Samba at the lowest cost and with the greatest energy!”

Ribbentrop did not approve of the military’s tactics. The Samba Kingdom was so far away, and if the whole country was to attack them, the military expenditure would be astronomical.

This was different from when the Empire attacked North America.

Although North America was a little far from the Empire’s homeland, North America was very oily!

As the world’s largest industrial country, the Eagle Sauce had strong industrial assets, not to mention the nearly 10 million square kilometers of fertile land in the country, as well as the rich resources buried under these lands, which could bring huge returns to the Empire.

Therefore, it would be profitable for the Empire to conquer the Eagle Sauce, and the benefits were huge.

Moreover, the Eagle Sauce had great potential, and coupled with its special terrain, if it was not resolved, the Empire would always be threatened by the Eagle Sauce.

So whether from a strategic point of view or from an economic point of view, attacking the Eagle Sauce was an excellent choice.

Although this move was very risky, if the battle was lost, the blow to the Empire would be devastating.

However, the Eagle Sauce Their own value is worth their risk!

However, the Samba country in the south is completely different from the Eagle Sauce. It is very inappropriate to apply the situation of the Empire’s war against the Eagle Sauce to the Samba country.

The reason is very simple. The Samba country has a small population, weak industry, and resources that are not as good as the Eagle Sauce. In addition, the distance is farther. If a war breaks out, the consumption on the road alone will be terrifying.

Moreover, the national strength of the Samba country itself is far inferior to that of the Eagle Sauce, and there is no strong navy. It poses no threat to the empire at all.

What’s more, there are several neighboring countries around it that are dissatisfied with him and have conflicts with him to restrain him.

Therefore, in Ribbentrop’s view, it is enough to use diplomatic means to trap the other party, and there is no need to use force.

So this kind of war is not cost-effective no matter how you look at it!

However, the attitude of the military is very firm. If they say that they must fight, then he has no choice. A foreign education department is definitely not as good as the Ministry of Defense, especially during the war.

Since it cannot be stopped, we can only find ways to exert our influence and help the empire win this war!

“Well, your idea is good, but how do you plan to do it?”

Mainz thought about Ribbentrop’s proposal, but he was not completely optimistic about the other party’s plan.

The terrain of Samba is very special. The west is mountainous, the north is the Amazon forest, and only the south near Argentina and Ula is the population slightly denser. The rest of their cities and population are all concentrated in the eastern coastal areas.

In this case, even if other countries are persuaded to form a coalition to attack Samba, they will hardly be of any use.

Chile in the west cannot cross the Andes, Venezuela and Colombia in the north cannot cross the Amazon forest, and Argentina and Ula in the south have too few populations to beat Samba.

These surrounding countries seem to be numerous, but in fact, none of them can fight. It is a dream to expect them to defeat Samba. Therefore, the empire must act on its own.

This is also the reason why Mainz supports the hardliners in the military.

“I plan to go to South America immediately to start a diplomatic visit and strive to get a large port and foothold for the navy so that they can rely on this port to complete combat operations!”

Ribbentrop was quite pragmatic and did not completely pin his hopes on the coalition forces!

This won him the favor of Mainz!
