One Hundred and Sixty-Three Diplomatic Envoys
"Adolf Hitler has just been executed by shooting. [Start]" An officer came to report to Akado with the certificate of Hitler's death and the photos of the scene: "He died very calmly, shouting the Führer Long live."
"What did the people watching the ceremony say?" Akado asked.
"Criminals can confess their crimes to the law in public and have the intention of repenting. Everyone has become more convinced that Hitler is a member of the Communist Party." The officer bowed his head and said.
Akado nodded, and suddenly asked Syndra who was standing aside: "How is the flag changing going?"
"In fact, everyone is very sympathetic to the situation of the Nazi Party, which was exploited by the "Commintern" International. Many middle-level cadres of the Nazi Party have voluntarily merged into the Greater German Party. Things are going very smoothly." Syndra replied: "Therefore, there is still a lot of confidence in Congress discussing the matter of changing the national flag."
"Where is the public opinion?" Akado then asked, "Does the public have any resistance to changing the national flag?"
"According to the news from the SS, most of the people support this, and many people have already started to buy the new swastika flag." Syndra replied: "Fanny's preparations are very full, and the public opinion is very successful. Now, the swastika is not a representative of the Nazi Party, but has been sublimated into a symbol of the unyielding and unity of the German people."
What else did Akado want to ask, when Gaskol knocked on the door and walked in: "My head of state! Top-secret information from Moscow!"
"Moscow?" Akado frowned, wondering what happened to the Soviets at this time? He waved to Syndra and the officer who came to report, and motioned them to go out. After the door of the office was closed, Akado asked again: "What information."
"My head of state." Gaskol said solemnly: "This time we lost a Communist spy who was buried in Moscow and sent back two very important messages. The first message is Regarding weapons and equipment, the Soviet Union began to serve a new type of tank, the military code name is KV-1, this tank has thicker armor and a larger gun caliber, it seems to be specially developed to deal with our tanks."
Can things like kv tanks work? Akado sneered in his heart: It seems that the induction of the Soviet Union's technology tree and the regression brought by the Great Cleansing to the Soviet Union eventually changed some historical processes. Thinking of this, he asked, "Is there another news?"
I didn't expect the Führer to be so careless about the enemy's new weapons, this attitude surprised Gaskol a bit. According to the degree of concern of the head of state for German technical weapons, it should be a talent who attaches great importance to the enemy's technology. But Akado didn't give him time to think about it, so he had no choice but to tell the second news.
"After repeated confirmation,
The Soviet Union is mobilizing troops on the Soviet-Polish border, and they seem to be launching an offensive against Poland. "Gaskel replied: "The news from the top of the Soviet Union is that in order to consolidate his position in the army, Stalin is planning to plan a second invasion of Poland to wash away the shame of the failure of the previous Soviet-Polish war. "
After hearing the news, Akado fell into deep thought. Stalin's invasion was unprecedented in history, so it is hard for him to judge the outcome, but it was indeed a bold move by Stalin to secure his military power. On the one hand, you can use the invasion of Poland to dispatch troops and generals to "insert" your cronies, and on the other hand, you can train the army to prepare for greater ambitions in the future.
"Is the source reliable?" Akado asked with a frown. He used intelligence to plot against the Soviet Union more than once.
"Intelligence should be reliable. We have also confirmed some news through special channels, and some more accurate news, because the time relationship has not been transmitted back." Gascoll said: "If we further expand intelligence screening, it may be exposed. "Revealing" the spy personnel has aroused the vigilance of the Soviet Union."
"Go, invite General Brauchitsch and General Bock...Forget it, I'd better go to the General Headquarters of the National Defense Forces myself." Akado stood up and shouted to the outside: "Anna! Immediately Get the car ready! I'm going to the Wehrmacht General Headquarters with General Gaskell! Have Syndra call them! Get the conference room ready."
Soon, Akado saw several bigwigs in the military in the conference room. When these generals saw the head of state coming in, they all stood up and saluted: "Long live the head of state!"
"Long live the Great Deutschland!" Akado returned the salute, walked to his seat, and sat down on his buttocks: "Please sit down!"
"Prince, before you came, we also got this news from the intelligence department! We also discussed it just now, and the key lies in the accuracy of this news." Chief of Staff General Bock said softly.
Brauchitsch nodded: "My head of state, the fact that the news of the Soviet Union's attack on Poland has little effect on us, we can completely sell this news to the Poles, and then use General Rundstedt's plan to attack first. France, win the war."
In mid-1935, something happened to further complicate Germany's plan to launch a war: British Prime Minister MacDonald, whose domestic approval rating had been low due to the economic crisis, finally resigned as Prime Minister, and was replaced by Conservative Baldwin as the new British Prime Minister.
"Britain is still busy with the formation of the cabinet. Once we invade France, we will gain a war advantage." Bork also said. Now everyone is inclined to attack France first, because there is a high possibility that the Soviet Union will contain Poland, a variable on the Eastern Front, for them.
"What if we wait a little longer?" Akado said, pointing to the map laid out on the table, "We wait for the Soviet Union to invade Poland, and then use part of the troops to take advantage of the fire to enter Poland. Carve up Poland with the Soviet Union, but try to stop it from the outside world." under the guise of advancing so that we can avoid war."
"My head of state! What if this news is inaccurate? What if the Soviet Union doesn't attack Poland immediately? Don't we miss the best time for war?" Brauchitsch frowned and asked, he didn't want his Wehrmacht to Lost because of a muddle-headed decision: "This kind of problem will not occur if you fight France. Poland believes that the possibility of Soviet invasion is greater."
"Attacking France is a question of timing. If we attack France suddenly, victory will not end the war, because the main force of the British is still there and will not compromise easily; and if we delay the progress of the war and attract the main force of the British to join the battle, The war will enter a stalemate, and we will lose." Akado shook his head and said.
"In that case." Brauchitsch stood up, stood at attention and said, "My head, the army will draw up an action plan to attack Poland within a week. The air force and navy need to cooperate with the army's attack plan."
Akado nodded: "Come out with a feasible plan as soon as possible. I will inspect the Siegfried Line in the near future to make the French more concerned about our Western Front. But we still need to prepare one thing."
"We need to secretly send diplomatic envoys to contact the Soviets and tell them the bottom line of our Germany." Akado pointed to the map and said: "We want half of Poland! Including Warsaw! We also want to take back Danzig Corridor completes the absolute integrity of the German territory!"
"Once the war starts, we only have about half a year to defeat Poland! Adjust the deployment of the army. If this time passes, the French and the British will see through our plan and attack us!" Akado said with narrowed eyes : "I hope the army can use the fastest speed to take Poland."
Everyone stood up, stood at attention and gave a German salute: "Long live the Führer! Germany must win!"
...
"Attack Poland! Send those watchdogs of capitalism to a dead end!" Sitting in front of a group of generals, Stalin said loudly: "It must be ready by the end of 1936! In the spring of 1937 we will regain our glory! "
Don't you want to take this opportunity to "insert" your cronies in the army? That shit Khrushchev has become the political commissar of the front army in such a grandiose way, he knows a shit about military affairs! Several generals slandered in their hearts, but they said something different: "Great Comrade Stalin! We will definitely win this battle against Poland! We will win honor for the motherland."
"The Soviet Red Army is ready." A general stood up and pointed to the various units on the map with a pointer and introduced: "Our army has concentrated 750,000 people and used 230 tanks and 700 aircraft. Lu Dajun marched into Warsaw."
No one is optimistic about this attack, because the Soviet army has hardly trained seriously since the Great Purge, many experienced commanders have been imprisoned in concentration camps, and more people have been labeled as communists and shot directly . Now the Red Army's combat power is half of what it was back then. It's not bad, and the defense is not enough, let alone attacking in Poland?
But at this stage, who dares to tell Stalin the truth that he doesn't want to hear? We prefer to leave this honor to others. So the general who explained the tactics continued his grand plan helplessly: "In the far north, the 11th Army of our army will..."
"Report! Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet Union!" An officer walked into the conference room and interrupted the general's report. The Germans have envoys coming and will notify you immediately."
"Look! Our allies are here!" Stalin looked proudly at the generals who kept wiping their foreheads, stood up and said, "I know that many of you are very pessimistic about this battle plan. ! But I want to tell you! After my careful planning! We will surely win this battle!"
