Chapter 755: How to Win

Yakov ran... he ran very fast, and he arrived at a gate of the prisoner of war camp.

The door is open, but the outside is still the site of a prisoner of war camp. It is a newly built shoe factory belonging to the Adi Dassler Company. Its main product now is military boots, and it is also one of the places where prisoners of war engage in labor. However, according to regulations, prisoners of war must be escorted by guards before they can enter the factory to work, and they cannot enter or leave the factory without authorization. Therefore, there are armed soldiers standing guard at the gate to the factory.

So when Yakov approached the gate, a German soldier had already raised his rifle as required.

Very good! He is about to become a martyr! Yakov thought to himself, I wish the German soldier had better marksmanship and could kill him with one shot.

"Snapped……"

The gun went off!

Yakov shivered subconsciously, but felt no pain. Apparently, the bullet missed. So he kept running, and then he heard another gunshot, this time hitting him at his feet, kicking up a cloud of sand.

Why haven't you hit it yet? Yakov gritted his teeth and continued running. Suddenly his thigh seemed to be stabbed by something, and then there was a gunshot. Yakov didn't feel any pain at first, but something went wrong the next time he took a step. Severe pain came from his left leg, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

At this time, a German soldier rushed over and pointed a Mauser 98K rifle at Yakov. Yakov knew that the other party would generally not shoot again. So he stretched out his hand, grabbed the barrel of the gun, and shouted in blunt German: "Shoot, kill me!"

At this moment, Yakov heard a voice that he would hate for the rest of his life. It was the Nazi female devil Glazer shouting: "Don't shoot, capture those alive, they must be alive, this is an order!"

Then Yakov was kicked, the barrel of the gun in his hand was taken away, and several strong palms pressed down on his arms and thighs...

…

"Find Yakov? Natalie, you did a good job! What? The leg was broken... It's not life-threatening, right? It's okay if it's not. Take him to Switzerland and arrange for him to be sent to Qiujiweize's villa (that is) The place where Herschmann lived when he went to Switzerland to meet Lenin in his early years), and found the best doctors and nurses to take care of him.

Yes, don't give it to Mrs. Kollontai yet, but you can tell her that we found Yakov. "

Hessman hung up the phone, then looked up at the clock on the wall. It was now 10:30 in the morning, and the headquarters meeting would be held in 10 minutes.

Today's meeting is very important. We are going to discuss the issue of convening a meeting of the leaders of the Axis Powers - I don't know if it is too early to be happy. Anyway, senior figures in Germany now believe that the world war is about to be won, so it is also time to convene a summit. meeting to discuss the issue of dividing the spoils of war and the issue of post-war world order.

Of course Hersman was not so optimistic. He knew that the Soviet Union would not hand over Ukraine until it was exhausted. The United States may give up its intention to interfere in European affairs after the fall of the British mainland, but it is impossible for the United States to let Japan go. This is not just about revenge, but also about the future of the United States. After losing the opportunity to encroach on Europe and the Middle East, the United States will inevitably target expansion (not territorial expansion) towards the Asia-Pacific region!

Of course, Germany cannot tolerate the United States' westward expansion into the Asia-Pacific, otherwise the United States will have strong economic strength in the future, enough to overwhelm the European Community under German dominance.

So the world war is far from over yet!

"Leader, gentlemen, it is of course important to divide the spoils, but before considering this issue, we should still consider how to end the war victoriously."

At today's headquarters meeting, Hessmann was the first to speak and raised the issue of a successful end to the war.

"I think how to win should be the most important issue to be discussed at the upcoming Axis leaders' meeting," he said.

"Victory is of course the most important thing. We must pick up the fruits of victory and then study the issue of distribution." Hitler's mood seemed a bit low today.

Because his special envoy Hess (responsible for negotiating with Kennedy) had just reported to him that the Americans only agreed to give up European affiliated territories such as Britain, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, but did not agree to give up support for the Soviet Union unless Germany also gave up support for Japan.

Moreover, the Americans do not agree to negotiate peace with Japan, regardless of whether Japan returns the Hawaiian Islands!

"The Americans are unwilling to have an armistice with Japan," Hitler said slowly. "They just want to have an armistice with us and then concentrate on defeating Japan... Can we allow such a thing to happen?"

"No!" Hersman immediately replied, "Unless we can completely defeat the Soviet Union, the United States, which dominates the Pacific, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, will become the great enemy of the German Empire in the next 100 years. But it is very difficult to completely defeat the Soviet Union. If The United States has been supplying weapons and equipment to the Soviet Union through the Pacific Ocean, and we are likely to pay millions of casualties! "

If Germany cannot destroy the Soviet Union, and the United States destroys Japan, then Germany in the future will fall into a "two-front Cold War" that is absolutely unwinnable - because the population, land, resources, and industrial strength controlled by the United States and the Soviet Union are both More than the European Community, so the two-front Cold War will definitely end with the defeat of Germany and the European Community.

The destruction of the Soviet Union would mean a long and cruel war, which would very likely make the Germans shed their blood. Moreover, how to deal with the Russian nation with a population of more than 100 million after the collapse of the Soviet Union is also a difficult problem.

"And in the process of us defeating the Soviet Union, Japan will definitely be defeated by the United States first." Hersman continued to analyze, "The first ship of the United States' Essex-class aircraft carrier has been launched, and there will be more in the next year. More Essex-class launches.

In addition, the first ship of the United States' Iowa-class battleship will be commissioned in March next year, and the No. 2 ship will be commissioned in May next year. I think in the second half of next year, the United States may turn offensive in the Pacific. "

"The second half of next year? So soon?" Hitler was a little surprised. "Japan's naval aviation has a great advantage, right?"

"Leader, their advantage will disappear in a few months," Air Force Commander Marshal Weaver took the question. "According to reliable intelligence, the Americans have recently put into service a carrier-based fighter F6F with very superior performance. This aircraft is sufficient Against Type Zero.”

"Our Fokker Zero can't defeat this kind of aircraft?" Hitler asked worriedly.

"The Fokker Zero D type should be able to defeat the F6F at an altitude of 5,000 meters." Marshal Weaver said, "But at an altitude of 5,000-7,000 meters, it may be difficult for our Fw-190T to compete with the FW801F engine. The engine can be completed on schedule. And applied to Fw-190T.”

BMW801F is probably the ultimate model of the BMW801 series. This engine can output 2,400 horsepower without taking drugs, almost reaching the level of 18-cylinder air-cooled engines and 24-cylinder liquid-cooled engines.

"But the Japanese look down on the Fokker Zero D and Fw-190T," Hersman said. "They want a high-performance aircraft that can completely overwhelm American carrier-based aircraft and repeat the myth of the Zero's invincibility."

"Then we should assist their development work as much as possible." Hitler thought for a moment and then said, "Or we can strike before the Americans launch an attack, severely damage the American navy, and force the United States to sue for peace with Japan. . Marshal of the Empire, is it possible to achieve this goal?”

"It is possible, but it cannot be achieved by relying solely on the power of the European Combined Fleet." Hessman had already had an idea. "The Japanese Combined Fleet must participate in the battle."

Hitler nodded and said: "We can discuss this matter with the Japanese Prime Minister at the meeting in January next year. Reich Marshal, do you have a rough plan?"

"I have an idea," Hessman replied, "a decisive battle in the Caribbean! Japan will send two Yamato-class ships and at least four fleet aircraft carriers to the Atlantic to cooperate with us in the battle. In this way, we can surely annihilate several large American aircraft carriers and two Iowas. Hua level.”

Hessmann's plan is even more extreme than the originally planned "Night Battle on the Sea of ​​Ice"! But it is the only plan that can force the U.S. Navy to take risks under unfavorable circumstances and ensure the victory of the European-Japanese coalition.

Because the biggest problem in operations in the Caribbean is that the United States has deployed shore-based aviation on many Caribbean islands. And in order to guard against attacks by the European Combined Fleet, the Americans have many shore-based aircraft deployed on the Caribbean islands. The carrier-based Fokker Zero D and Fw-190T would not be able to win an air battle without overwhelming numerical superiority.

"What if the Japanese refuse?" Hitler asked with a frown.

"Then we have to be prepared to fight for another 2-3 years!" Hersman shook his head and said, "And we should also seriously consider helping Japan strengthen its defense line in the Hawaiian Islands... If we cannot do it in 1943 If the United States is forced to fight a decisive battle in the Caribbean, then in 1944, the decisive battle at sea will take place in the Hawaiian Islands."

When Hitler nodded and seemed to want to say something, Stauffenberg walked in quickly, leaned over and whispered a few words in Hessman's ear. Hessman's eyebrows that had been spread out suddenly wrinkled.

"What's the matter? Reichsmarschall?" Hitler realized something was wrong and asked immediately.

"British King George VI just gave a speech in Washington, calling on the British people to resist to the end under the leadership of Prime Minister Churchill and never surrender!" Hersman smiled, "It seems that we must consider the issue of landing on British soil! "
