On October 15, 1939, Lin Wei, who had stayed in Poland for more than a month, set off back to Berlin. After Lin Wei left, the Polish Governor-General Dr. Hans Frank and the new police chief Ernst Kaldenbrunner immediately began to implement the plan to deal with the remaining Polish soldiers. In order to stabilize the situation in Poland as soon as possible, On October 18, the Governor-General of Poland, Dr. Hans Frank, announced that Poland’s public welfare facilities would be reorganized to ensure that every Polish person would have a job.
At the same time, Police Chief Ernst Kaldenbrunner announced that after verification, more than 95,000 Polish troops were missing and were suspected of having fled abroad. Ernst Kaldenbrunner assured ,: "As long as these armies are not trying to subvert the existing political environment, then it will forgive those armies' past sins and let them return to Poland to ensure their safety. It also calls on the family members of those on the list of missing persons to designate There will be people in the department to help them find their relatives."
On October 21, Lin Wei and Linda, who returned to Berlin, stayed briefly for a few hours and immediately went straight to the Chancellery to prepare to report to Hitler? Le put forward his own opinion, and as Lin Wei expected, after entering, Hit? Le said excitedly, "Lampard, why do you want to reorganize Poland's welfare facilities? Superior nations have the right to decide the future of inferior nations. Poles are only suitable to be slaves to the Germans!"
"Führer! Listen to me!" Lin Wei explained helplessly, "Führer, if your goal is only to annex Poland! Then of course there is no problem with what you said, but if you have a greater goal, Führer, In terms of goals, I suggest it is better to implement the policy I am thinking of now."
"Reason!" Hit? Le said with a cold face, "Give me a reason that is strong enough, otherwise, the policies you implement will be immediately invalidated, and I will naturally lock those who dare to resist into concentration camps!"
Lin Wei said excitedly, "Führer, we all know that our ultimate goal is to wash away the shame of the last war. Now Britain and France have declared war on us! Although they are now forced by domestic pressure and do not want to fight with us! Could it be that we Are you going to let them go?"
"Of course not!" Hit? Le roared, "This is the moment I have been waiting for, the moment when I can avenge myself like the Gallic rooster. How could I let them go?"
"That's right!" Lin Wei smiled, "Führer, although the remnants of Poland are now in several countries around Poland, we all know that their final destination is likely to be the exile camp established by the Poles in France. The government, so I want to keep those remaining soldiers and not let them go."
Hit? Le nodded to express his understanding, but still said, "There are many ways to retain them. Isn't it necessary to improve the welfare of the Poles?"
"But the head of state, improving the welfare of the Poles is the safest way?" Lin Wei retorted.
Hit? Le roared, "Have you forgotten the injuries and blows those Germans suffered in the Danzig Corridor? Have you forgotten that Poland has been planning to annex East Prussia?"
"I have not forgotten!" Lin Wei replied, "Anyone who has hurt the Germans, I will definitely make them pay the price, but what we need is a stable Poland, rather than something that may hold us back at a critical moment. Parasites? Giving them welfare is to enable them to work better. It is also the safest way to let the relatives of those Polish remnants to influence those soldiers who are still hesitant."
Huh... Hit? Le picked up the tea on the table and drank it all, and said angrily, "How can you guarantee that the method you said is effective?"
"Time will prove whether it is effective!" Lin Wei replied philosophically, "As long as the remaining Polish soldiers begin to return to Poland, the Polish Legion that has begun to be formed in France will not be enough."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now!" Hit? Le waved his hands and said, "The British and French have declared war on us! I still want to hear your opinion on how to handle this matter!"
"Uh..." Lin Wei thought for a moment, "I have no objection!"
Hit? Le immediately covered up the action of almost losing his grip on the cup and said with a strange expression, "I don't have any opinion at all!"
"No! Head of state!" Lin Wei replied attentively.
"Then do you have anything else to do?" Hit? Le asked.
"Yes! The Führer" is in Hit? Under Le's gaze, Lin Wei said in a loud voice, "Führer, I want to expand the SS!"
"Huh?" Hit? Le frowned and said, "The size of the SS is already very large now. If it expands again, won't the Wehrmacht have any objections?"
"Probably not, Führer!" Lin Wei explained, "In fact, the current size of the SS is only one-eighth of the Wehrmacht. If you include the reserve force, it is only one-tenth of the Wehrmacht. There should be nothing to say, besides, this time I plan to secretly expand the army."
Hit? Le Yi was interested and asked, "Why secretly expand the army?"
Lin Wei smiled and said, "I am going to let the newly expanded troops participate in the battle and gain some practical experience."
"But the war is over now?" Hit? Le asked doubtfully, "Could it be..."
"Yes, I'm going to let them go to Finland!" Lin Wei replied.
"Although the Soviet Union and Finland have some intentions of going to war now, the Soviet Union doesn't have any concerns at all, right?" Hit? Le asked.
"Will Stalin believe that the Finns dare to fight against them?" Lin Wei asked.
Hit? Le Xiangxiang said, "The relationship between Finland and our Germany is pretty good. Although the Prince of Hesse did not become the king of Finland, the pro-German forces in Finland are still relatively large. However, Finland's land is too small and it is difficult to Confront the Soviets.”
"Führer, I just want to train troops there. I have never relied on tens of thousands of SS troops to defeat several Soviet armies or even more troops," Lin Wei explained helplessly.
"So where are you going to recruit troops from? I remember that the SS cannot compete with the Wehrmacht for recruits." Hit? Le asked.
Lin Wei smiled enigmatically, "Führer, at that time we did not annex Austria and Czechoslovakia, so this agreement only said that our SS could not compete with the Wehrmacht for troops in Germany. As for whether there were volunteers willing Joining our army is not part of the agreement."
Hit? Le Ye said helplessly, "It turns out that your original agreement with the National Defense Forces has already prepared a trap."
"Of course!" Lin Wei said without hesitation, "My father once said that you should always leave yourself a way out."
"Okay, I agree to your proposal to secretly expand the army!" Hit? Le replied, "But where are you going to recruit from?"
"This time, I am planning to form a mountain division, and the recruiting location is in Austria," Lin Wei replied. Hit? Le nodded in recognition. Perhaps in the last war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's troops did not have many dazzling battles, but their mountain troops were definitely an exception. On the border between Austria-Hungary and Italy, only tens of thousands of mountain troops blocked the attack of hundreds of thousands of Italian troops, and once invaded Italian territory.
Got Hit? After Le's approval, Lin Wei walked out of the Prime Minister's Office, returned to the SS headquarters building, and began to plan the issue of military expansion. Within the SS, Lin Wei's words could definitely be said to be accurate, so everyone passed without much work.
On the issue of treating the British and French, Lin Wei did not take a position, Hit? Le had no choice but to find senior officials such as Goebbels and Goering. After discussion, Hitt? Le decided to ease the conflict with Britain and France, because Germany is not ready for war now. After the consumption of the Polish campaign, the army's armaments can no longer support a battle of the same scale. Moreover, the Navy's S plan is at a critical stage. moment, so hit? Le must wait.
On this crisp, sunny autumn day, Hit? Le was responding to Poland's problems. Hit? Le said, "There are problems that need to be solved, such as "solving and ending the Jewish problem", solving the problem of European minorities, solving the German colonial problem, restoring international trade problems, "unconditionally guaranteeing peace", reducing armaments, and air war. , poison gas, submarines and other issues.”
He also suggested that several European powers hold a best-prepared conference to resolve these major issues.
"Such a conference would decide the fate of this continent for many years to come. It would be impossible to consider the matter thoughtfully under the roar of artillery and while armies were mobilized to exert pressure on it."
Hit? Le continued, "But if these problems must be solved sooner or later, it would be wiser to solve them before millions of people are sacrificed in vain and billions of wealth are reduced to ashes. The consequences of allowing the current state of affairs in the West to continue as it is are unimaginable. Soon the daily sacrifices will continue to grow... The national wealth of Europe will be exhausted by cannonballs, and the vitality of nations will be exhausted on the battlefield."
Hit? Le appealed to those who held similar views and their leaders to respond now, and attacked Churchill for advocating resistance. He said, "If the opinions of Mr. Churchill and his followers prevail, these words will be my last statement. In this case, we will continue to fight." "There will never be a second time in German history." On November 11, 1918, Germany and the Allied Powers signed a surrender agreement in Compiègne, northeast of Paris. It stipulated that Germany would cease military operations, hand over part of its army and navy, and that the German troops would withdraw from occupied land and the left bank of the Rhine. Let it be Later became the basis for the Treaty of Versailles."
The "People's Observer" published that day also made some wonderful noises about peace. The headlines of this organ were: "Germany Wants Peace", "Germany Has No War Intentions Against Britain and France", "Germany Has No Other Demands for Amendments to the Treaty of Versailles Apart from the Colonies", "Reduction of Arms", "Cooperation with European Countries", "Negotiations proposed."
Lin Wei recruited 5,000 soldiers in Austria, and is he recruiting Hit? After Le agreed, he formed the SS Northern Combat Group and secretly sent them to Finland to receive training in mountain warfare and snow warfare. Of course, confidentiality must be done properly. It can be said that there are countless Gestapo spies in this army. .
The situation at hand had to make Lin Wei consider the Soviet Union's position. If Germany and Britain and France pissed off the Soviet Union before the war started, it would definitely not be a wise choice.
On August 23, 1939, the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact. The treaty included a secret clause dividing the spheres of influence among the Eastern European countries between the two countries, which included Finland as part of the Soviet Union. Therefore, even if the Soviet-Finnish war begins, Germany cannot openly help Finland.
But it is absolutely impossible for Lin Wei to watch the Soviet Union become stronger and stronger. The war between Germany and the Soviet Union is basically an unavoidable event. If we do not take advantage of the Soviet-Finnish war to bleed the Soviets fiercely and take the opportunity to weaken the Soviets, it will mean that in the future Soviet-German war, the Soviet Union's chances of winning will be lost again. A little bigger. Lin Wei had reasons to do this for his own life and to escape from the International Court of Justice in Nuremberg.
Hit? Le promised to communicate with the Finnish government about this matter. The Finns also understood the Soviet ambitions for them, so why did they treat Hit? He was very interested in Le's proposal, so the Northern Fighting Group secretly arrived on Finnish soil.
But Hit? Le immediately let Lin Wei feel the nerves that he hadn't had in a long time? The attack was so sudden that Lin Wei didn't have a chance to react.
What happened was that at 11 a.m. on October 28, he convened a meeting with senior generals. At the meeting, without consulting them at all, he issued the top-secret combat order No. 6 for the westward advance.
Hit? Le ordered the troops to prepare for an offensive through Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands, and demanded that this attack must be carried out as soon as possible; the goal of the offensive was to annihilate as much as possible the French combat troops and the Allied forces fighting alongside them. At the same time, capture as much land as possible in the Netherlands, Belgium, and northern France to serve as a base for conducting favorable air and naval battles against the British. Hit? Le asked the commander-in-chief of the three services to formulate a plan based on this directive as soon as possible and report the progress to him at any time. Hit? Before giving the order to his military generals, Le also read to them a secret memorandum signed on October 9.
The generals had expressed objections to such a hasty attack on the Western Front. But Hit? Le tells them that time is on the enemy's side. He reminded them that Poland's victory was only possible because Germany actually had only one front. This situation has not changed, but how long can it last?
As for Italy, the memo said, "whether there is any hope for Italian support for Germany" depends largely on whether Mussolini lives and whether Germany can have new and greater victories to attract that leader. Time is also a factor here. The same was true of Belgium and the Netherlands, which were likely to abandon their neutrality under pressure from Britain and France, something Germany could not afford to wait for. Even for the United States, "time should be considered to be against Germany."
Hit? Le admitted that a protracted war would be very dangerous for Germany, and he listed several dangerous factors. Friendly and unfriendly neutral states may be drawn to hostile sides as in World War I. Germany's "limited food and raw material base" will also make it difficult for Germany to obtain "materials for war." The biggest danger, he said, was the Ruhr's geographical vulnerability. Once Germany, the heart of industrial production, is destroyed, it will "lead to the collapse of the German war economy and the loss of its ability to resist."
In this memo, Hit? Le provides an analysis of strategy and tactics, discusses the new tactics developed by Nazi tanks and aircraft in the Polish campaign, and details how and where such tactics were used on the Western Front. Armored forces must be used to make decisive breakthroughs, keep the army moving forward unimpeded, and break the stalemate on the front. He said the "only possible areas of attack" were through Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. First of all, two main military goals should be remembered: to destroy the armies of the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Britain, so as to gain a foothold on the Channel coast and the North Sea coast, so that the Luftwaffe can take off from here to carry out "merciless bombing of Britain" ".
At this time, Lin Wei was worried about the weapons of the Northern Combat Group, because he knew that the area where this force would fight in the future would definitely be high latitudes. Therefore, they are very different from ordinary troops in terms of cold protection and equipment adaptability.
But when someone told Hit? When Le was about to attack from the western front, Lin Wei still felt dizzy. Then Army Commander-in-Chief Walter von Brauchitsch found the SS headquarters.
As soon as he arrived at Lin Wei's office, Walter von Brauchitsch shouted, "I think Hitt is crazy!"
Lin Wei looked around, signaled his secretary to close the door, and asked eagerly, "General, what's going on?"
"Hit Hitler actually wants to go to war with Britain and France now! Tell me, is he crazy?" Walter von Brauchitsch said angrily.
"General Walter von Brauchitsch, calm down first," Lin Wei persuaded, "I still don't know what's going on, how can I help you persuade the head of state?"
Walter von Brauchitsch told the story again. The more Lin Wei listened, the more speechless he became, because Lin Wei was now sure that Hitler had started working idealistically again.
Moreover, Walter von Brauchitsch had already met with the Führer yesterday, but his arguments had no effect. Hit? Le told him bluntly: "The British will only sit down and negotiate after being beaten. We should give them a few blows as soon as possible. The attack date should not exceed November 15 to 20 at the latest."
Call him Hit from now on? Le is the head of state because his name is a shielded word.
