Chapter 875： Finland joins the Eurozone

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

Germany has also sent some volunteers, but the number is not large, mainly flight crews, and now, it is said to send a mountain division, which of course will make everyone excited.

That’s great. Finland has a small population. It would be great if there was a mountain teacher coming over!

"Really?" a Finnish officer present asked incredulously.

Loeb smiled without saying a word.

Containing the energy of the Soviet Union and bringing more time to Germany is a policy formulated by Cyrenk. The integration of Europe takes time. Now, starting from the euro, it has just started.

It will take one to two years to integrate the whole of Europe and have a stable rear area before we can continue to advance eastward. Now, further support for Finland is necessary.

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

Several foreign legions have been formed in Germany.

There are not many purebred Germans, and it is far from enough to conquer the entire world.

Therefore, Germany must expand its own troops, among which the foreign legions mainly come from several aspects.

First of all, there are 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 Germans spread all over Central Europe, Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

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

And a larger number are volunteers from the German occupied territories.

Although their country was occupied by Germany, the public always admired the strong. It only took less than 20 years for Germany to achieve national rejuvenation and defeat the entire Western European countries. The locals began to change their thinking towards Germany. Even joined.

For example, the "Viking" division of the SS5 Waffen SS, which is mainly Nordic, the "Charlemagne" division which is mainly French, the "Netherlands" division of the Dutch, and the Danish, Norwegian, and British divisions. Special brigade" and so on.

Therefore, Germany already has a large number of foreign legions, and it is no problem to mobilize a foreign force. Moreover, almost all of these foreign personnel are firmly anti-Russian, and no one wants to be defied.

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

This promise is quite substantial.

The current Eurozone is 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 own 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 currencies. Although there will be inflation, many countries will do it.

However, once joining the Eurozone, the issuance of the currency will be controlled by Germany, which is detrimental to the country's economy.

In this era, there is no idea of ​​great unification in Europe. Countries hold their own small interests. Wherever there are so many ideas for cooperation, it is almost the same to annex each other.

In this way, the opinion put forward by the President of Finland bears considerable weight.

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

He is very confident.

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away, far away Moscow is celebrating.

"Our tactics are indeed effective. This time, we only took one day to conquer the Mannerheim line!" Voroshinov said, "Comrade Stalin, your decision is really too great. Wise!"

At the beginning, it was Maryshev who proposed the tank naval tactics. At the same time, in order to compromise on costs, Stalin decided to mass-produce the T-34. From now on, this decision is quite wise.

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

In fact, they only conquered a line of defense in Finland, but this is also of great significance and shows that this kind of scheme is feasible!

"Order Comrade Kejing to do a good job in the production of tanks. I hope that I can produce tens of thousands of T-34 tanks every year." Stalin said, touching his beard.

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

"Comrade Stalin, this is a good idea. However, we should also see that it is not safe to have tank-sea tactics alone. I suggest that we should also develop newer tanks that exceed the performance of German tanks. It is also very important." Voroshinov continued.

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

The performance of the KV-1 tank developed by Kejing is not enough to block the fire of the opponent's anti-tank gun. In terms of cost, it is not suitable for mass production. Therefore, this tank will eventually be eliminated.

This is quite uncomfortable 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 has more experience in the development of heavy tanks. I propose that Comrade Kotin develop a new heavy tank 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 need not only tanks, but also more advanced tanks. We can't stand the fact that we are behind the German tanks."

At this time, the entire Kremlin was very happy. No one would think about it. In the battle, the tankers who died in the end, every one of them, have experienced more than ten or twenty years. It took countless social resources to come out. It is the most unfair and the least foresighted to treat people as consumption.
