Chapter 160

If you have a map of Europe, you will find that Germany under the leadership of akkado, the head of state, has been like a giant with a big mouth, encircling Poland, a poor neighbor, on both sides. On the other hand, Germany has the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and four French neighbors are eyeing their backs.

So here's the problem - excavators... OK, we're not kidding. Go on to business.

Now there is a problem in front of the German and Japanese leaders. The war is coming, and they have also won the advantage with their own efforts. There is still time. They have attacked Juncker aristocracy and monopoly plutocrats, and raised the industrial output value to an exciting value... But they have to make a difficult choice in the end: which side should they fight first.

Because of the geographical problems, Germany has been faced with the tragic situation of two line operations. To the east of it is Poland, which has just been supported by Britain and France, while to the west is France, which is known as the first army power in Europe. As it happens, France and Poland are allies again, and when they fight one another, they will immediately pick out the other to help - there is nothing more irritating to the Germans.

Such a situation led to the split of opinions within the German defense forces, and they were divided into two groups. They were in constant dispute, which also bothered akkado.

Many generals, including Manstein, ronderstadt and others, agreed to attack France first, concentrate their superior forces, cross the German French border and kill their French neighbors at one go, and then command the armored forces to rush into France and win the war. The plan is perfect. And for the Germans, it's tempting to beat France.

However, this will undoubtedly set off a world war. Poland, as an ally of France, is bound to declare war on Germany. In this way, Germany will fall into the embarrassing situation of two-line war in the first time. Moreover, a direct attack on France will bring pressure on the German Navy. Once the world war broke out in 1935, the unprepared high seas fleet of the German Navy is likely to be annihilated in the North Sea.

Therefore, the Navy suggested that the head of state launch a war in 1937, so that the Navy could pull up a huge fleet of at least five aircraft carriers, so that it would be more confident to fight the Royal Navy in the North Sea, and the number of submarine troops would be enough to strangle Britain's fragile maritime transportation lines - of course, all this was a big pie drawn by the Navy itself.

The reality is that general Catherine, the commander-in-chief of the air force, is not optimistic about the German Navy. Facts have proved that Britain has begun to guard against the German naval expansion plan. Once the German Navy appears to be out of control, the British navy will certainly start ahead of time, The German Navy, which was blocked in the harbor by the Royal Navy of Britain, must have been wiped out.

So Katherine is more supportive of Manstein, ronderstadt and others to use all their strength to beat France before the British react. He assured the army generals that the air force was enough to cope with the French air force, and within 72 hours of the war, he was sure to defeat the French front-line air force and take control of the air force. He also promised to provide 300 do-217 bombers and 670 Stuka dive bombers as support for the army if the war started in 1936, so the French * team is not an opponent at all.

It's tempting to kill France as soon as you come up. In this way, Germany, Italy and Spain, the three countries of the iron and steel axis, will be linked together, and their control over the Mediterranean Sea will be more reliable. The Italian Navy, without the French fleet as its opponent, can blockade the Strait of gibraltarian, which is also good for suppressing Britain.

It's a pity that Poland will not be idle when Germany invades France. It will stab Germany in the back. The end is very tragic. The heavy industrial areas just controlled by Germany, such as Czechoslovakia, will be destroyed by the war, the oil route from Romania will be affected, and Germany's war capability will collapse in a few months. Therefore, this plan requires that the national defense forces must defeat France in two or three months and force Britain to withdraw from the war. This gives the plan a little bit of a gamble.

Therefore, this plan can not get the support of another group of people: the generals including the commander-in-chief of the army brauchich, the chief of staff Bock, Luz, goodrian, Rommel and others believe that Germany should concentrate its forces on attacking Poland and end the fighting in the east line before Britain and France react.

This plan has two great advantages over attacking France, that is, there is a fake Ziegfeld line on the border between Germany and France. It takes time for the French to test this line, which also gives time for the German troops attacking Poland. Another advantage is that Britain and France have been inducing Germany to move eastward. Germany's attack on Poland can be said to be the result that Britain and France are happy to see, so it is very likely that France will not attack Germany immediately.

However, no one is optimistic that Britain and France will turn a blind eye to Germany's attack on Poland, because Poland, Britain and France have alliance agreements, which explicitly stipulate that they will help each other when they are attacked. The German Foreign Ministry reminded the head of state not to be too confident about Britain and France if Germany attacks Poland.

But this plan was supported by the German Navy, because the German Navy wanted to evade the Royal Navy at the beginning of the war, so Reidel and Donitz preferred a combat plan that did not strongly stimulate Britain. The air force is also lack of interest in attacking Poland, because compared with France, the Polish air force is inferior in both quantity and quality. It is exciting to deal with such an enemy without defeating its old enemy, France. But the air force is not opposed to attacking Poland - because the air force with the highest mobility on either side can be on the battlefield at any time.

Germany has prepared a lot of oil and ammunition for the war. French company and Krupp company have quietly increased the production of military products. Benz company and BMW company of white orchid group have even carried out local war mobilization, and started to produce airplanes and cars day and night. The Navy dockyard is also working overtime, hoping to produce another two aircraft carriers before the war, which will be used to enrich the high seas fleet of the German Navy, in order to avenge the collapse of the German high seas fleet more than ten years ago. After careful discussion, the German general staff came up with a more pertinent operational plan schedule. After reading it, akkado did not comment on it. In the plan drawn up by the German general staff, it was determined that Germany would launch a war in early 1937, but akkado was full of fear about this time. It seems that the second world war is about to advance. Now akado's judgment on the outbreak of the war is not accurate. All kinds of historical turning points from the memory of the last life can no longer help him. He is not even sure whether Britain and France will stand on the sidelines when Germany attacks Poland, So now he can only objectively analyze which of the two plans is better. That's Winston? Churchill's stubborn old English man is still struggling in the corner of British politics; Before Churchill's predecessor, Mr. Chamberlain, the peak executor of appeasement policy, came to power, only God would know how King George would choose. Once the attack on Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg fails to attract France and the British * team into the famous encirclement in history, Germany's combat plan will be completely defeated, and his head of state will be the end of the war... Of course, in theory, akado supports the plan of killing Poland first, Because he hoped that the war of attacking Poland would attract the British and French teams, so that he could complete the grand plan of encircling and annihilating. And that would buy the German Navy some time. One of the more important reasons is that no one knows: in history, Germany won step by step after its invasion of Poland. However, attacking France does have a great temptation. As long as Poland can be prevented from stabbing in the back, it is more cost-effective to kill France first and then invade Poland before the Soviet Union slows down: first Poland, then France, and then the Soviet Union. Compared with France, then Poland, and then the Soviet Union, the latter plan obviously saves a step of mobilizing troops. Another difficult choice for akkado is the time of war. Some generals want to fight immediately when they are ready, that is, in 1936; Other generals hope to set the time of war in 1937, so as to expand the Navy and air force; Some generals even suggested that akado start the war again in 1938, but many people think that starting the war too late is not good for the prepared country. Akkado had to give up his plan to launch a world war and let the intelligence and foreign affairs departments start to deal with the problems of Hungary. Supporters of the great German party broke out a non cooperative movement in Hungary, which brought chaos to the whole country. Then akado announced that he supported Hungarian public opinion and the Hungarian people's vote for the future of his country. The Hungarian government was forced to recognize the legitimacy of the vote. Then an international farce began: the majority of the people voted for Hungary's continued independence, and the vote was cancelled; Continue to vote, the result is still the same, the vote was cancelled again; The third time, Hungary decided to merge into German rule, the vote was passed, and Hungary became another province of Germany. Then the German troops moved into Hungary, and the territory of Germany expanded again. Amid the curse of Britain, the United States and France, the German head of state, akkado? Rudolph continued to emphasize that Germany is a peace loving country. He will get married on March 1, 1936, and will continue to make his contribution to world peace after marriage. As for whether to attack France first or Poland first, and when to launch the war, he decided to wait until he became a family（ Book group number 280015943, welcome to join!
