·Reply to jnqbx's question: Jews have always been relatively united!!
The Jews before World War II were not united, and the descriptions in this article were not absolutely true, but many films did mention that Jews outside Europe had not helped Jews in Europe for a long time.
·Text: On December 14, 1939, after doing a series of things, Xu Yang was finally able to leave Warsaw, which had stabilized. In just three months, Xu Yang used superb political means to straighten out the originally chaotic Polish industrial zone and began to resume production.
There was a voice in the country, that was, to move all the factories and machinery in the occupied areas back to the country. The rise of national origin made a repetitive waste of resources about to begin to spread. Xu Yang was very worried that some bad situation would happen continuously. In just three months, more than 1,000 telegrams were sent to the country, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of resources and the issue of maintaining public security in the occupied areas.
It is emphasized that moving machinery back to the country is something that should never happen. Doing so will make the residents of the occupied areas feel dissatisfied with Germany. The former Czechoslovaks who lost their jobs will definitely jump out to resist. What Germany needs to do now is to stabilize the emotions of the people in the occupied areas and transfer the objects they hate to the German enemies, rather than do something that should not happen when the situation deteriorates.
It is recommended to use a complete management system to force the people in the occupied land to serve the German war. The management system adopts a division of labor system. After completing the limited workload and passing the product, it is considered a qualified product, a certain reward will be given to workers, such as issuing bonuses. On the contrary, if maliciously slacking off work or maliciously disrupting production, then punishment should be carried out. After trial by the court in the occupied land, those who are seriously infringed can be dealt with as espionage and executed for hang.
Carrots and sticks are the most effective rule that Germany has implemented in the occupied areas. According to Xu Yang's suggestion, the occupied government can irresponsibly remind the residents of the occupied areas that Germany is willing to restore them, but there is a condition that they must be sufficiently cooperative. First, give the residents of the occupied areas a psychological confidence, and then decide whether a certain country will be restored according to the situation. Of course, this country must be "protected" by the Third Reich, that is, within a few hours, the country will not be allowed to have an army.
Occupy territory has always been a trouble for all victorious countries. In many countries in history, their country was implicated and their country was implicated, causing a powerful empire to collapse.
Xuyang's next stop is the Danze Bay Harbour in East Prussia, with the Imperial Navy's "Graf-Zeperlin" and "Sedlitz" launching ceremony in Danze Bay. This launching ceremony represents a very important historical significance. It not only declares that Germany has taken Danze back, but also will deter Denmark, a very restless country.
Denmark, a country that was shouting that it was neutral on the surface but secretly supported the British and French leadership, made Germany very annoyed. While she shouted that it was neutral, she was secretly negotiating with Britain and France to negotiate an agreement on the military ports of the concession. This was a major threat to Germany. If the British and French coalition forces landed in Denmark, it would directly threaten the security of the northern German territory.
In order to cope with the imminent threat from Denmark, Germany mobilized the 10th Legion to Hamburg and was always wary of sudden attacks from the North Sea. In addition, two infantry divisions of the 11th Legion were also transferred to Hannover near Hamburg. On the one hand, they were to protect the military factories there from sudden attacks, and on the other hand, they were ready to head to the front line as the Northern Line Reserve Corps at any time.
In order to cope with the threat from the North Sea, Germany had made a series of strengthenings to the navy, but these were not used to make direct confrontation with traditional naval powers. The purpose of Germany's move was to cut off the sea supply line between Britain and France. After the Polish battle, the two sides had fought dozens of times in the sea. Since the German navy's strength was far less powerful than the British navy, especially the number of large surface ships was pitifully few, Germany divided 1-2 pocket battleships to form a surface team, converted the merchant ship into an attack ship and exchanged fire with the British navy head-on to carry out a raid war, and also launched a submarine warfare, using a single boat to fight and run away on British shipping in the vast Atlantic Ocean, that is, the sea wolf tactic.
This tactic was a great success. From September 3, 1939 to December 9, 1939, German submarines sank 199 ships, reaching more than 700,000 gross tonnage. Two pocket battleships also sank 57,000 gross tonnage. Although Britain carried out a system of escorts like a sheep and an escort, many ships were still brutally massacred by German submarines every day. These submarines were called "sea wolves" by seamen from Britain and France. The seamen of the two countries changed their qualities about the word "sea wolves".
In addition, British warships also became targets for German submarine attacks. On September 19, 1939, the German-29 submarine sank the British aircraft carrier "Brave" outside the western channel leading to the British Isles. For this reason, the British had to withdraw the aircraft carrier from areas where German submarines were frequently active.
In order to expand the results of the war, the German naval generals frequently ordered the seawolf to attack. On October 14, Denitz assigned his beloved general Major Prien to lead the submarine No. 47 to attack the British local naval base Spaca Bay, sinking the British battleship Royal Oak, and nearly 00 soldiers were buried under the sea. After that, the British were forced to abandon Spaca, an important naval base. In addition, the German submarine also injured the "Nelson", the "Balham" battleship and the "Belfast" cruiser.
The German Navy created a brilliant record, and they lost only 14 submarines, about 9,500 gross tonnage. But this also planted the seeds for later quarrels.
After the Seawolf achieved impressive results, two voices appeared in Germany.
Generals who value submarines suggested that the Navy abandon the plan to build large ships and instead conduct comprehensive research to build submarines. The reason is that submarines are cheap to build, fast production speed, and have brilliant achievements. This statement is also widely accepted, mainly because Germany's resources are in short supply. Before the war, only enough war materials for five years were stored. After the army and air force snatched away most of the resources, the Navy did not have enough resources to build large ships.
Of course, some people do not agree with this view. Some people accused that the development of submarines alone would only lead the German Navy into the bottomless abyss. These people strongly believed that submarines were just auxiliary tools for naval combat, and that truly dominating the sea border still required large ships and enough aircraft carriers.
Both views are actually correct and incorrect. Finally, these naval generals handed over the decision-making power to the government. In the end, the government's answer was to increase the naval military budget and re-demarcate the cost of submarine research and manufacturing. The previous planned shipbuilding plan remained unchanged. Large ships must be developed and produced, and submarines cannot be left behind. After obtaining Polish resources, Germany has the ability to set aside more money to arm the navy.
The government's decision made people feel confused. It is obvious that this is a decision to waste resources. If these naval generals knew that this decision was the decision of the little Stark, they would definitely snarl and scold "that little guy is making random ideas again!". However, compared with the current situation, the development of both directions is indeed beneficial to the future of the German Navy. With the support of overseas funds and the supplement of Polish occupation resources, it will not make Germany feel difficult for the addition of funds for submarine development.
Xu Yang's visit to the aircraft carrier launch ceremony was just a symbolic move. After the visit, he did not stop, but took a special plane back to Berlin. He hurried back to Berlin in order to participate in the next combat plan of the commander. During his special plane back to Berlin, the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a warning to Denmark to let this weak country see the situation clearly and not play with fire.
When Xu Yang got off the plane, Denmark had not yet given a reply and came to the command. These generals were discussing how to strengthen the northern line. When the generals saw Xu Yang coming in, they all calmed down. They were very satisfied with the performance of this little guy in Poland. The black-and-white movie that recorded the entry of the National Defense Force into Warsaw was still one of the most popular movies for the Germans.
Hal never participated in the commander's combat plan because he knew nothing about military facts. Instead of making wrong decisions, it is better to let these generals play freely under effective surveillance. For this reason, the generals have a good impression of the head of the empire. A good head of empire should recognize his job. For example, the head of empire has a good attitude towards economic development, so the head of state will focus on developing the economy without interfering in military operations. This is trust and recognition of the generals. What do the Germans emphasize? Once they recognize a person, they must ensure their loyalty with their lives.
The generals were a group of eye-catching people. They knew why the head of state did not accept their swearing allegiance. The answer was that they had just entered the Supreme Command of the Empire. Although this person is still very young, he already has the temperament that a Prussian general should have. If he could show some mature actions, the commander would not mind creating more opportunities for him to climb.
Blaushich smiled kindly and nodded, signaling Xu Yang to stand beside him and listen carefully. At this time, the combat planning of the commander continued to begin again. This time, the generals explained the entire combat plan in great detail and refused to miss a small detail. After each general talked about his own part, he would always look at Xu Yang and smiled happily when he saw Xu Yang's response saying "I understand."
The Command believes that seizing the Scandinavian advance base will enable Germany to strengthen the northern wing, ensure the safety of transporting iron ore from Sweden, and pose a threat to Britain from the East. The reason why the Scandinavian advance base is of great significance to the German Command is that Germany wants to prevent greater wars and also to gain the initiative in future wars. Scandinavia is most suitable for blocking sea access in the Soviet Arctic Circle region, and is most convenient for using the army to invade the northern Soviet areas of the Soviet Union and control the Baltic Sea exports. After the Command takes over Poland, it is planning a plan to seize Norway and Denmark, code-named "Wisser River Exercise".
During the entire battle, a large number of landing soldiers and paratroopers were planned to be used, and suddenly landing and airborne were carried out simultaneously in Denmark and Norway. The first time the land, sea and air force were used to attack the enemy country.
This plan is expected to be implemented on April 9, 1940. At present, the Command needs Xu Yang to submit a detailed report on the combat effectiveness of the paratroopers. The Paratroopers have not been greatly developed in the National Defense Forces. On the contrary, in the armed SS, which is not a regular army, Xu Yang formed a paratrooper division with the number "Imperial Scimitar". Now, the Command needs to use the paratroopers...
