Chapter 877 Finland Joins the Eurozone

At the beginning, Loeb promised that when necessary, Germany would send a mountain division. At that time, they just listened to it as a joke. You must know that the weapons provided by Germany have already made Finland extremely grateful. , Without those weapons supported by Germany, Finland would have been unable to defend.

Germany also sent some volunteers, but they were not many, mainly pilots. Now, it is said that a mountain division will be sent, which will of course make everyone excited.

That's great, Finland has few people, it would be great if a mountain division comes over!

"Really?" a Finnish officer present asked in disbelief.

Loeb laughed and said nothing.

Containing the energy of the Soviet Union and bringing more time to Germany is a policy formulated by Cyric. The integration of Europe will take time. Now, starting with the euro, it is just getting started.

It will take one to two years to integrate the whole of Europe and have a solid rear before it can continue to march eastward, and now, further support for Finland is necessary.

What's more, Germany also needs to train its own troops and has experience in fighting in cold regions, so it is also very useful to Germany. As for this mountain division, of course, like the previous plan, it will not send any purebred Germans over. .

In Germany, several foreign legions have been formed.

There are not many pure-bred Germans, and it is far from enough to conquer the whole world.

Therefore, Germany must expand its own troops, and the Foreign Legion among them mainly comes from these aspects.

First of all, there are the Germans scattered all over Europe. Germany was a regional concept in the Middle Ages. The establishment of the Holy Roman Empire and several crusades made the Germans spread all over Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

These Germans volunteered to join the SS, such as the later SS13 Waffen SS "Holy Sword" division and the SS39 Waffen SS "Italy First" division, etc.

A larger number were volunteers in the German occupation areas.

Although their country was occupied by Germany, the public always respected the strong. It only took Germany less than 20 years to achieve national rejuvenation and defeated the entire Western European countries. The local people began to change their minds towards Germany. even joined.

For example, the Nordic-based SS5 Waffen SS "Viking" division, the French-based "Charlemagne" division, the Dutch "Netherlands" division, and the "Viking" division composed of Danes, Norwegians, and British Special Brigade" and so on.

Therefore, Germany already has a large number of foreign legions, and there is no problem in mobilizing a foreign army. Moreover, these foreign personnel are almost all staunchly anti-Russian, and no one wants to be red.

"General Loeb, please convey to me the highest respect to your head of state," said Finnish President Kayandel. "When this war is over, we Finland will join the euro zone."

This commitment is quite weighty.

In the current euro zone, mainly the countries occupied by Germany, it can be said that once the euro is used, that country will lose its dominant currency function and its economy will be controlled.

To put it simply, Finland is now independent. If it encounters economic problems, the country can solve it by issuing additional currency. Although there will be inflation, there are still many countries that do this.

However, once it joins the euro zone, the issuance of the currency will be controlled by Germany, which is not good for the country's economy.

In this era, Europe does not yet have the idea of ​​a grand unification. Countries are holding their own small interests. Where there are so many ideas of cooperation, it is almost the same as annexing each other.

In this way, the opinion put forward by the President of Finland is quite weighty.

"Okay, I will convey your opinion. Now, let's join hands and drive away the Soviet invaders. We must make long-term preparations and take advantage of Finland's severe cold and Finland's high mountains to destroy the Soviets. Defeat!" Loeb said.

He is confident.

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away, far away in Moscow, celebrations are taking place.

"Our tactics are indeed effective. This time, we conquered the Mannerheim line of defense in just one day!" Voroshinov said: "Comrade Stalin, your decision is really too much. wise!"

At the beginning, it was Malyshev who proposed the tank sea tactics. At the same time, in order to compromise with the cost, Stalin decided to mass-produce the T-34. It seems that this decision is quite wise.

In this battle, they suffered heavy losses, more than 200 T-34 tanks and more than 80 KV-1 tanks, but this did not prevent them from appearing in a victorious posture, because they were finally like the Germans , can completely overcome the defense line in a short period of time.

In fact, they have only conquered a line of defense in Finland, but it is also significant and shows that this solution is feasible!

"Order Comrade Kotin to focus on the production of tanks. I hope that tens of thousands of T-34 tanks can be produced every year." Stalin said while rubbing his beard.

Since the tank sea tactics are useful, continue to explode the tank sea! Let a large number of tanks come to destroy the enemy!

"Comrade Stalin, this is a good idea. However, we should also see that it is not safe to have only tank sea tactics. I suggest that we should develop newer tanks at the same time, which will exceed the performance of German tanks. It's also important," Voroshinov continued.

Up to now, the mass production of T-34 has been unstoppable. If the Soviet Union produces all T-34s, Kotin's position will be quite embarrassing.

The KV-1 tank developed under the auspices of Ke Jing is not enough to block the shooting of the opponent's anti-tank guns in terms of performance. In terms of cost, it is not suitable for mass production. Therefore, this kind of tank will eventually be eliminated.

This is quite unpleasant for the designer. The best thing is to give him another model and let him continue to develop it!

Voroshinov just flattered, of course, for the following content: "Comrade Kotin, who has more experience in developing heavy tanks, I propose to let Comrade Kotin develop a new heavy tank, which is better than the current one. The KV-1 tank has higher performance and is the elite of the army. Our Soviet tanks are the best."

Stalin nodded: "Yes, we don't just have tanks, but more advanced tanks. We can't stand the fact that we are lagging behind the German tanks."

At this time, the entire Kremlin is very happy, no one will think about it, the tankers who are the last dead in the battle, all of them have experienced more than ten years or more than twenty years, It only came out after consuming countless social resources, and treating people as consumption is the most unfair and the least farsighted.
