The Third Reich in Desperation

A group of brains, if the carrier-based aircraft in the distance can't beat the British fleet, won't the head of state order the entire army to retreat immediately?

Do you really think I'm as rigid as you? !

Yes, this is Reinhardt's real confidence.

Lütjens's First Squadron was originally full of the fastest warships.Once there is a real emergency on the carrier-based aircraft, but it happens to be a ghost and fails to win, Lütjens can turn his head and leave the British fleet far away.

Fighter planes are fighting, but that is far away.Even if they lose, these warships in the rear can still escape in advance.Furthermore, the Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier, which has lost hundreds of carrier-based aircraft, can further increase its speed and reduce the burden of evacuation.

As for Raeder's Second Squadron, although the types of warships were complex and cumbersome, their speed was slowed down.But they were originally also in the rear, farther away from the front line, and the distance they had to travel when retreating was shorter, so there was no problem of inescapability.

Even if it is really about to be caught up, use the second fleet's various captured multinational warships, plus the Norwegian ally's fleet as cannon fodder, and cooperate with two powerful new German "Imperial-class" battleships to fight against it. Also more than enough.

When the backward cannon fodder warships have lost almost the same amount of time and enough time for blocking, the "Imperial Class" battleships can just slip away with their super high speed.

The speed of the "Imperial-class" battleship has long been verified with the immature "Peter the Great".

The defective ship "Peter the Great" given to the Soviet Union at the beginning was able to overwhelm the British fleet by virtue of its speed during sea trials.Now, the two "Empire-class" battleships that are truly mature in technology don't have to worry about their speed being inferior to the British fleet.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Thinking about defeat before winning, this is the greatest skill Reinhardt learned from General Sickert, and it is also an excellent quality that a leader should have.Although Reinhardt is convinced that aircraft carrier tactics are close to bugs (loopholes) in this era, he is not an all-knowing and all-powerful God after all, and cannot guarantee that no unexpected situations will happen.

Therefore, whenever Reinhardt instructs an action that deviates from the original history, he will think about the way forward in every possible way, not ignoring the one percent possibility of failure.

This is also the reason why he has always stayed up late and worked overtime since the beginning of the French campaign.Too many deduction results and corresponding solutions for future wars require him to consider and give instructions.Every battle can be said to have unlimited development possibilities, so the accompanying documents will also be endless.

"Everything is as expected," Reinhardt pretended to be convincing with a smile in front of the adoring eyes of a group of generals, "Early before the fleet pulled anchor and set sail, the outcome of this battle was already A doomed result. Predicting wars has always been my strong point, and in the past 20 years, I haven't missed a single time!"

Indeed, every decision made by Reinhardt has repeatedly convinced the believers around him of one thing - the head of state can foresee the future, and he will not lose to any professional general's super deduction ability!

Sometimes, even Manstein, Rommel, Guderian and other idol-level generals who have shown their talents and have been worshiped by countless soldiers will feel that if the head of state does not enter politics, but stays in the army, he will surely Become a top commander enough to make any so-called famous general inferior by comparison.

Think about it, in peacetime, Reinhardt can still rise all the way to become an army general.If it were a real war, perhaps he would have been a marshal with medals on his chest long ago.

"My Führer," at this time, Brauchic stood up with great shame: "You have proved to us once again that you are an unparalleled strategist. For my disobeying your will and arbitrarily suspending the armor Regarding the troops, the subordinates are really full of guilt and regret."

Brauchic now really feels that he was simply a fool back then.If the orders issued by the all-knowing and all-powerful head of state are not followed, they must change the instructions of the head of state on their own initiative and stop the army.

Doesn't this mean that you don't copy the correct answer and fill in the test paper with a wrong answer? !

Text Chapter 393 The Soviet Union Out of Stock

Reinhard was overjoyed by the navy's victory in the North Sea, and immediately ordered to mobilize a large amount of canned luncheon meat from the warehouse, and supply and sell unlimited quantities of luncheon meat in major cities across the country for 3 days.

Yes, it is not distributed for free, but needs to be purchased with money, and there is only 3 days to buy unlimited.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the food rationing system issued by Reinhardt himself after the Polish campaign.

Because of the war with Britain and France, it became more and more difficult for Germany to import food, especially the British naval blockade, which almost blocked the route for Germany to import materials from the sea.

At the same time, the Soviet government has also made frequent small moves recently, delaying or canceling the delivery of supplies to Germany several times.

In this incident, on the one hand, it is estimated that Germany repeatedly delayed the delivery of battleships, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Soviet government.

On the other hand, it is also closely related to Stalin's growing ambitions recently.

The end of the Finnish campaign allowed him to consolidate the preset defensive front of Relingrad, obtain the territory east and south of the Curzon Line controlled by the original Finland, and obtain the Hanko Peninsula leasehold.

Romania gave up the land of two provinces without fighting, which made the Soviet Union a big step forward on the southern front without bloodshed, and stationed troops in Bessarabia and North Bukovina.

And now, the footsteps of the Soviet Red Army are approaching the three Baltic countries.After sending notes to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, the three Baltic countries, the Soviet government proposed in the note to reorganize the government, implement general elections and allow the Soviet Red Army to pass freely. However, the three governments did not agree, and the Soviet army took action.

Successive actions allowed the Soviet Union to increase its territory by more than 46 square kilometers, with a population of more than 2200 million. The western border was pushed westward by about 300-400 kilometers, which increased the defense space to a certain extent and improved its strategic position.

What?Strategic position against whom to fight?

Of course it is a strategic position to fight against Germany!

And if you think about it carefully, the regimes that were overthrown in the three Baltic countries were all pro-German regimes supported by the Third Reich.

On Romania's newly established border of Rossu, the Soviet army only needs an armored charge to threaten the precious oil fields Germany needs to import oil in Romania.

Everything the Soviet government did was aimed at Germany and threatened Germany's interests.Now, they have stopped the export of grain and oil traded with Germany, which makes people have to have doubts.

What the hell were the Soviets trying to do? !

"In the East, there used to be a famous old saying..." Reinhardt showed off his oriental knowledge in front of a group of German generals again.

To be honest, many people may have a doubt, since they have traveled to the Western world, why there is an old saying in the East.To be honest, is it not good to say that ancient Western sayings are not good? !

But Reinhardt just thinks this is very artistic, and to put it bluntly, there is a thrill of pretending to be successful.

You Westerners have never heard of it, have you?If you haven't heard of it, listen to the head of state, let you see how well-informed the head of state is, and then bow to him.

"Mr. Sima's thoughts, passers-by know." Reinhardt said this classic allegory that was born in the late Three Kingdoms period with a smile on his face.

Of course, because his mouth is not very sharp after crossing, Reinhardt didn't bother to pronounce the Chinese name "zhao, sima", so he simply changed his name to Mr. Sima.

Anyway, not many Europeans have heard of it. In this era, there are probably not many Europeans watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right?

Sure enough, Bolaoshiqi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "My head of state, who is this Mr. Sima, and what does he mean by his thoughts?"

Because he had just received the victory report from the Navy, Reinhardt was also in a good mood and patiently explained the allusion of "Sima Zhaozhi's heart is well known" to Bolohich and others.

"Now you understand, today's Soviet Union is just like that Mr. Sima back then. Their ambitions are undoubtedly exposed, and anyone can easily understand what they are thinking." After explaining, Reinhard stretched out his right hand and patted Bo On Lao Xiqi's shoulder, he smiled and said: "They have continuously violated our country's interests, and they are starting to prepare for war with us."

"But the head of state..." Ross, who knew a lot of inside information, couldn't help asking: "Isn't what the Soviets are doing now what we agreed in the treaty before?"

In the secret framework of the "Soviet-German Nonaggression Pact", the Soviet Union did mention that they had territorial claims on small western countries, and Germany agreed not to interfere.How can it be said that others are targeting Germany now?

"Then why did they stop supplying us with oil and food?" Reinhardt withdrew his hand from Bolohich's shoulder and put it back on his waist: "This already shows that they don't want to continue to feed us This future enemy."

The United Kingdom blocked Germany's west imports, and the Soviet Union cut off Germany's east imports.

In other words, except for the import of grain from the south of Italy, a certain amount of wheat can be guaranteed to enter Germany every month.In addition, Germany's food supply almost has to be handled by itself.

How about saying "cannon not butter"?If it is really possible to ensure that military industry and food production go hand in hand at the same time, who would not want to have cannons and butter.

In fact, because Reinhardt has the prophetic advantage, the Third Reich in this life enjoys a natural advantage in the reserve of war materials.In order to avoid the depression of the people, Reinhardt repeatedly emphasized the need to ensure the living standards of the German people.

It can be said that before the outbreak of the war, Germany's preparations for the war in the field of agriculture were thorough throughout Europe.

Reinhardt had learned the lesson of Germany, which had suffered from the Allied blockade during World War I, when its agricultural products were supplied overseas.On the one hand, increase domestic food production capacity, and on the other hand, divert foreign trade as much as possible to those countries with which Germany expects to maintain contact, such as Italy and even the Soviet Union.

The advantage of this is that the amount of food stored in Germany has increased, and the institutions governing agriculture have also been strengthened.The effect of these measures is also obvious, reducing Germany's dependence on external supplies from 20.00% during World War I to 15.00%.Before the start of the Polish campaign, Germany was practically self-sufficient in bread, potatoes, sugar, dairy products, meat and vegetables in general, although there was still a shortage in fat and cooking oil, and about [-] percent of protein feed needed import.But compared to Germany at the same period in history, it is much better.

As of today, the Third Reich still has enough grain and sugar for the country to eat for more than two years, 27 tons of lard, salted fat and butter, and a large amount of oats and corn for feed.In addition, Reinhardt also hoarded a lot of leather, cloth and silk for his empire, which could be used to make war materials such as parachutes.
