Chapter 424

When borol stood in front of the recruits in charge of him, he suddenly had a feeling of nostalgia. He missed those acquaintances who could never be found again, the burly Balu who always liked to shout around him.

"I'm borol, your company commander. For the first time, I jumped from the plane to the enemy's position in Poland, then Holland, and then went on a tour to Denmark. A few days ago, I went to England. So I only have three more combat experiences than you, and I have nothing to show off. " He whispered his words to the expectant recruits.

To everyone's surprise, he said something to everyone's surprise: "it's cool today... Everyone, stand for three hours."

After that, he called out: "Baru! If anyone moves, kick their ass

Then he froze there, did not speak for a long time, quiet for a while, he finally quietly corrected his mistake: "Donald, it's up to you to do it!"

"Yes! Sir A young soldier who was not as tall as the original Balu, on the contrary, some thin soldiers stood at attention.

From this moment on, the image of borol in the recruits has become a collection of forgetfulness, coldness, approachability, inflexibility, dullness and unresponsiveness.

In the Netherlands, 11000 paratroopers have been added, about 3000 of them have been withdrawn from the front line, and 8000 of them are the second batch of airdrop personnel who have not been put in. The German Paratroopers, who had planned to put 15000 paratroopers and 10000 airborne soldiers into operation at one go, were not left in Britain as high-level infantry because of the reluctance of the head of state.

So in fact, the size of German Paratroopers airborne in Britain is smaller than that of the Netherlands and Belgium, but the degree of loss is much larger. Of the 7000 paratroopers in the first batch, only 3000 survived and 400 were injured. For the first time, they have experienced a really cruel battle and become more valuable talents.

In addition, more than half of the German soldiers sent to Britain are supplementary soldiers who have not experienced combat. Under the leadership of a small number of veterans, they took part in the fierce struggle for every inch of land in Britain. For this reason, the casualties in Germany are also high, only a little lower than those of their British counterparts.

On the morning of February 18, the German flag was finally put on the roof of Norwich municipal building. Around the square in the city center, young German recruits who had learned how to kill and save their lives from their predecessors sat next to the wall of the building, enjoying the rare leisure time after the cruelty of last night and this morning.

The good news is that the British garrison has almost been expelled from Norwich, which has become a ruins of the defense. The German armored forces have bypassed the city from both wings and stormed into Bangui and other areas. In the field, the German * team seems to immediately find the feeling of quick battle and quick decision. It took only two hours to hit Bangui.

The bad news is that today's weather is a bit gloomy. It seems that the bad weather that the British are waiting for will come soon. At that time, the German troops will fall into unprecedented passivity. However, their hands are holding their steel guns tightly, and the mud, dust and blood on their faces seem to prove that they have never had the idea of shrinking back.

While it was hard to predict the outcome on the front line, akado met with Speer, a genius in production organization familiar to him, in Rotterdam.

In the history of another time and space, even it was 43 years before he was appointed Minister of industry by Hitler. After that, the period of the highest efficiency of German military production was not 39, 40, 41 and 42 years before the outbreak of the war, but 44 and 45 years in the sparse Western Hills!

In the Memoirs of future Nazi generals, many people praise the military production organized by Speer. They think that Speer has little responsibility for the final defeat of Germany. On the contrary, if Hitler can appoint Speer earlier, maybe Germany will be defeated a few years later!

In another time and space, during the whole world War II, except Czechoslovakia, Germany's utilization of resources and industrial facilities in the occupied areas was quite low, with no efficiency at all. The same is true of the problems that akado is facing now. In order to repay the huge economic black hole formed by the mifford bonds and government bonds, Germany adopted the way of transferring war to the occupied areas. It is inevitable that the big capitalists and plutocrats who bought the national debt and bought the rice lottery should participate in the distribution of the postwar interests.

But this kind of distribution is actually inefficient and it damages the local industrial base. The short-sighted small and medium-sized enterprises will plunder resources, divide up manpower and reclaim their own funds in the fastest way, but they have caused immeasurable losses to the German industrial system.

In the original time and space, Germany's industrial productivity and production efficiency were lower than those of the United States, but Germany's industrial level in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries occupied by Western Europe was relatively developed. Why didn't Germany make use of these precious resources, but constantly demolished the industrial facilities in the occupied areas and brought a large number of skilled workers to Germany to work as coolies? The reason is simple - Germany's racial policy, its short-sighted war planning, and more importantly, its economic roots.

Hitler and his generals had always thought that the second world war would end easily in two years: the German army conquered Denmark with a breakfast; He annexed Holland in five days; It took Belgium 18 days; Poland was destroyed in less than 20 days; Six weeks changed France from Rooster to Vichy; So when millions of German troops invaded the Soviet Union, everyone felt that the war would end in 1942. The final result proves the German's shortsightedness and "wishful thinking": on the ruins, Churchill stretched out his index finger and middle finger to draw a V without surrendering; Stalin of the Soviet Union, who had exhausted five million troops, did not understand the meaning of the peace talks at all; Of course, the dead cripple who has been sitting in a wheelchair has made enough money and then jumped out to mend the knife. Don't mention it again - it's all Japanese people's fault. Why go to Pearl Harbor! The issue of race is too profound and bloody. I won't analyze it in depth here. Such a heavy topic doesn't conform to the style of this book (who lost the tomato? No! There are snipers. So let's talk about the specific reasons why the economy has forced the Germans to cheat. As we all know, Germany was a defeated country in the first World War. It had no economic ability to expand its armaments and rearm itself. But in history, after Hitler came to power, he was able to expand the army without any resistance, develop advanced weapons and equipment, build transportation networks, and let factories resume production instantly. What is the reason? To put it simply, he is borrowing money - he is in arrears with war reparations, borrowing heavily from countries such as the United States and Britain. The most important and fundamental thing is that he borrows money from all the industrial enterprises in Germany by relying on national debt and "Milford bonds". That is, the government gives a white slip, first buys the artillery and aircraft and supplies them to the army, and then pays them back in a few years. Where does the money come from? Fight Poland, rob! Hit Holland, Belgium, rob! Hit Denmark, Norway, rob! Fight France, rob! In fact, Germany's economy has been developing in the cycle of borrowing money to fight a war and repaying money after winning. Robbing what? It's not that the government doesn't want to take over, it's just that the capitalists who have promised to give their money and effort before the war. This kind of rude and inefficient behavior can barely keep running when the war is won. Once the war enters the stalemate stage, it will drag Germany into a vicious circle: capitalists have no advantage or see no return, so production begins to be chaotic and stagnant, and the front line loses blood supply, The result of losing faster... Is an important reason for the final failure of Germany in the real situation! Now, compared with Hitler, akado's problems are a little stronger, but not much better. The white orchid group controlled by him and Krupp, which can exert influence, at least will not cause chaos. The Jews also put forward funds to support his invasion plan. The capital operation before the financial crisis also saved him a lot of money. The more efficient production process and a lot of resources saved can barely maintain the expansion of the Empire, This is where he has an advantage over Hitler. However, he also lost some of the racist fanaticism that he mobilized, and did not get more money for the Jews to buy their homes and exterminate their ethnic groups. The total amount of rice coupons issued was more than that of Hitler, and the war process was faster and larger than before. So akador is ready to use Speer, hoping that he can shoulder the heavy burden and be responsible for the integration of the industrial power of the whole Germany and the occupied areas. If the industrial facilities and workers in France, Belgium and the Netherlands can be fully utilized, and Germany has relatively abundant reserve resources, then around 1940, it will be possible to produce a large number of leopard tanks and Tiger tanks on a large scale, just like the Soviet Union in another time and space, With absolute superiority, the armored forces defeated the Soviet troops when the Soviet T34 tank was still on the drawing. Speer has been the deputy of jellin Nike for some years, and he has been one of the actual controllers of the white orchid group since about 1936. Mercedes, the heroine of the white orchid group, is naturally very strong, but Speer, who only does things and doesn't speak, is not slighted at all. Krupp once made such comments on his father-in-law in front of the head of state: "my head of state, Jelinek has made outstanding contributions to the Empire. The first is that he has cultivated a good daughter for the Empire; The second is that he wisely left his own job to Spee
