Empire in Progress

Chapter 312: Mediate!

Views:

The Supreme Command is located in a five-story Army Headquarters at 45 Bandler Street. It combines the Supreme Command and the Army General Staff. In Hit? When Le was not dead, you could often hear Hit? However, as time goes by, people can only remember that this is the address of the German High Command, forgetting that this is also the General Staff of the Army.

"It's been a long time! This noisy scream should have disappeared now, right?" As a Porsche car suddenly stopped in front of the Army Headquarters building, Lin Weishi got out of the car and stood stunned in front of the building. After a while, I strolled into this building, which symbolized Germany's highest institution during the wartime period.

"Guderian's plan is very risky. If he is driven into the sea, the prepared British will not let us land again!"

"The Battle of France has proven that Guderian's strategy is right. Instead of being passively beaten on the beach, it is better to attack from places where the British did not expect!" Lin Wei had just come out of the stairs on the fifth floor when he heard the long-lost voice in the large conference room. controversy.

"Oh? God! The conclusion just now may be too early!" Lin Wei sighed helplessly as he walked. He could tell from the voice that the two people arguing were the two leading figures of the Army, Marshal von Blomberg and the Army General. Commander-in-chief General von Brauchitsch.

Fortunately, I didn't hear William II shouting, which is a kind of comfort! Lin Wei felt a headache and pushed open the door that was not closed tightly. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Marshal von Blomberg and General von Brauchitsch arguing, with red faces. William II sat on the main seat as steady as a rock, with no intention of persuading him at all.

Seeing this situation, Lin Wei could only step forward to persuade him, "Uncle Blomberg, Uncle Brauchitsch, what caused you to have such a big argument!"

The two old guys glared at each other and said in unison, "Ask him!", and then continued to glare at each other. Seeing this, Lin Wei felt a headache, Hit? When Le was there, although two people dared to fight Hit? Le argued, but this has never happened before. During the argument, he maintained a neither humble nor overbearing attitude, showing good cultivation. Didn't expect Hit? After strangulation, this situation actually occurs. Maybe hit? Le suppressed it for too long, so the two of them were in Hit? Only after strangulation did he burst out with his emotions? Lin Wei thought maliciously.

However, in view of the urgency of the matter now, Lin Wei quickly stopped his journey to become a psychiatrist, and first prepared to do a good job in military affairs. This kind of personal safety was put aside for the moment, and he quickly said, "As the former enemy commander-in-chief, General Guderian is like this It is indeed a bit risky, but the chance of us being driven into the sea is still small. Since the matter is irreversible, uncles, I think we should continue to wait for the situation on the British battlefield! I have something to report to you now, If it is not handled properly, the harm will never be less than being kicked out of the UK into the sea!"

Lin Wei's words made everyone become serious, even William II, who had been as stable as a rock just now. As the director of the Operations Bureau of the Supreme Command, General Jodel immediately asked, "What happened? You actually let you Are you all so anxious?"

Lin Wei sighed and said, "The thing is like this. According to the SS Gestapo's agency in the Balkans, Italy has assembled nearly one million troops in Albania under its control. The purpose should be Yugoslavia or Greece. , according to our intelligence analysis, it should be much more likely to attack Greece!"

"Huh?" William II hesitated, "How is the political situation in Greece? What I want to know now is, is it necessary for us to fall out with Italy over a small Greece? You know, the Italian navy is now helping us. If Greece’s position in the cross-sea battle is not important, would you consider giving up?”

"Your Majesty! Then I will briefly introduce the situation in Greece!" Lin Wei replied, "Greece, like Germany, joined the Allied Powers at the end of the last war. However, due to the strong national power of Germany, this battle has become another It went on for more than a year! So Greece, like other countries, not only gained nothing, but also lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers! After that, the political situation in Greece was unstable. Starting in 1936, Greek army leader Ioannis ·General Metaxas began to serve as the actual leader! As your Majesty knows, during this period, most countries in Europe, like Greece, established a system of government modeled on Italy, and we in Germany are no exception! From the perspective of parties and politics He said that although Greece is not a part of our Axis Powers, its attitude should be to support Germany! Among them, their Holy League of Greek Officers has a pretty good relationship with our SS!"

Dong Dong Dong..., the table was gently tapped by William II. The rhythmic sound was like a piece of beautiful music, which made people quiet down and think about the relationship quietly. Marshal von Blomberg pondered. He said, "Although Greece can help us, Italy's army is much stronger than Greece after all. If the two sides go to war, I don't think Greece can withstand it for even three months!"

oh? Oh my God? Lin Wei is about to burst into tears now. Under Lin Wei's leadership, Germany has blocked Italian military operations one after another. Until now, these generals don't understand their Italian counterparts at all, and they think that the total military strength has reached How superb is the combat effectiveness of three million Italians

After the Italian Navy successfully played a role in the Battle of Gibraltar, Lin Wei specifically asked the Gestapo to collect information on the Italian army, especially to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Italian Army. The result was still disappointing to Lin Wei. The Italian army could reach the level of the German general combat force. The total number of troops is less than 400,000, which is still the original army of the Kingdom of Italy. The army that could be expanded after Mussolini came to power, although the number has increased again and again, is all rubbish. As far as Lin Wei knew, Italy's three to four hundred thousand capable troops were all abandoned in Stalingrad.

If Italy really attacks Greece, it is likely to repeat the history of being counterattacked by Greece. At that time, people will suddenly discover that Italy, which was originally known as the Axis power, is just a joke, and will focus on dealing with Germany. It is more likely that people in these occupied places will regain their confidence. After all, Germany is strong and will still fail without allies.

It’s time to resolve some things! Lin Wei was sure in his heart. However, Lin Wei still had to solve the immediate problem now. Seeing that Greece alone could no longer impress William II, Lin Wei had to explain the situation in the Balkans more clearly, "Your Majesty, Italy's attack on Greece is just a small problem. The big problem is the possible chain reaction. The Balkans are now even more chaotic than before the last war. We cannot give in to Italy, which understands the situation, and rush to attack there. If the chaos in the Balkans must be cleared, we should solve it after defeating the Soviet Union. Problem there!”

"Go on!" William II seems to have made some changes. After all, the Balkans were the trigger for the last world war. William II doesn't want to be defeated twice in one place. This feeling must happen once. That's enough, so William II was very cautious in every place that might cause Germany's failure. It can be said that as long as there are enough reasons, everyone here can persuade William II.

Lin Wei spoke eloquently, "I'm not speaking because of the National Socialist Party in Yugoslavia or Greece, but because the situation there is really complicated. Hungary and Romania have each deployed hundreds of thousands of troops on the border due to border disputes. , it can be said that the two countries are about to go to war! There is no peace in Yugoslavia, and the relationship between the Soviet Union plays an important role. Greece and Turkey are one because of our relationship, and the other is our ally in the last war. The two countries The relationship has always been bad, and we can do nothing about it! We can only try our best to make peace, but now it seems that the medicine is not very effective. Your Majesty, I suggest that it is time to hold a conference to mediate the situation in the Balkans!"

"Mediation?" William II wiped his gray hair and said, "This is a good idea. We should invite royal families and party leaders from various countries, but where is a more suitable location?" If in Berlin, Some stores are suspected of cheating customers. This issue must be taken into consideration, William II thought helplessly.

"Your Majesty and the royal families of various countries will be in Berlin. I will coordinate with the National Socialist Party to hold the party conference in Vienna!" After thinking about it, Lin Wei added, "Your Majesty should invite all the royal families in Western Europe, even if they have already The descendants of the abdicated King Karl I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the abdicated King of Spain are also invited here, so that we can divert the attention of the Soviets, and we can just tell the outside world that we want to divide the British colonies in the world!"

William II nodded, "I will handle this matter. The meeting between governments and parties will be held in Vienna, right? There should be many countries invited this time. If it were not a state of war, I would even think of it." Invite my nephew, George VI, over for a chat! Haha... Oh, I’m getting old, keep going! By the way, if there is news about Guderian in the UK, remember to send it to me!" William II said With an expression of low energy, he even hit his waist when he stood up.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted William II and watched William II slowly walk out of the conference room.
