The Third German Empire once again sounded the horn of war, and hundreds of telegrams sent from Berlin to France every day. The powerful communication network confirmed its effectiveness. At the same time, various transit stations also deliberately strengthened their defenses to prevent attacks by armed personnel.

In addition to the large number of troops in northern and northwest France exterminated the occupied areas and armed deterrence, the final preparation was made. The continuous supply of materials was transported from Germany and related occupation areas by train, and then the troops were quickly replenished or replaced.

During this period, due to the obligations of the Axis powers, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Hungary, etc., and even the Finnish volunteer corps, more than 450,000 troops were preparing in full swing.

This time, the Axis powers dispatched a total of 2.2 million troops to station in northern France, of which the army had as many as 1.2 million, and the air force's fighter jets had been strengthened. As for the relatively weak navy, a large number of merchant ships were urgently modified.

As we all know, the navy of the Axis powers is not strong, and it can even be said to be much weaker than the allies. This is the main reason why the Axis powers repeatedly postponed the Battle of Britain. When the navy has no advantage, landing operations can only be to die, which is an unchangeable flaw.

The weak links of the navy are not something that can be changed overnight. At present, the entire Axis powers have only two aircraft carriers, less than 100 battleships. The number of other combat patrols, cruisers, expulsions, guards and other ships is much smaller than that of the Allies.

So far, a total of two cluster fleets of the German Third Reich have been to Wilhelmshaven for stopping. The two aircraft carriers that have been in service have completed combat readiness mobilization after emergency strengthening and modification. The USS Zeppelin and the aircraft carrier Seedlez have all removed the eye-catching anti-aircraft guns, and have additional slot security aircraft or stopped fighter jets. Two large Bismarck-class battleships also arrived in Wilhelmshaven immediately, among which the "Bismar-class battleships were still placed on the list of participating in the battle after emergency repairs.

It is worth mentioning that a new type of ship emerges, which is a rocket-type fire support ship modified by a merchant ship. The speed of this modified fire support ship is not fast, but it is quite reasonable compared to the more than 20 knots of an aircraft carrier. In terms of armor defense, it does not require high requirements for long-distance fire coverage.

In an experiment, the scene of dozens of fire support ships being fired fresh in memory. The terrifying rocket launcher screen once scared the Axis Observer who came to visit. Although the fire support ships rely heavily on reconnaissance to be used, this does not conflict with the naval fleet. After all, maritime operations require reconnaissance, and without reconnaissance, there is a pile of meat floating on the sea.

This time, the Third German Empire also specially provided fifteen experimental ships. The so-called experimental ships are actually modified frigates. These frigates have been dismantled from their turrets and installed v2 rocket launchers in reasonable locations. Of course, despite preliminary experiments and good results, the naval generals remained hesitant about this experimental ship, which made some people feel funny and deeply unhappy, including the German Head of State who proposed this concept.

As for the Schánhorst-class battleships, German-class pocket battleships and other ships, including one of the few battle patrols, cruisers, deportations and other ships, they went to Belgium to meet with the fleets supported by Spain, Italy and Portugal, and began the running-in exercise in the North Sea.

Since Italy's main battlefield is in the Mediterranean War Zone, it is destined that Italy will not provide much armed support for the Axis powers to attack Britain. So far, the mobilization order has been issued for two weeks. Italy only provides the Axis powers with three battleships, six former dreadnoughts, four battlecruisers, eight destroyers, related cruisers, destroyers, frigates, minesweepers, special service ships, etc., and some ships are only on the list of participating in the battle and have not reached the assembly site.

In terms of air force, the various Axis powers' obligations to participate in the war successively purchased various types of aircraft from the armed forces of the Third Reich of Germany in the form of raw materials, which finally caused the troops of each Axis power to be dragged away from the list of numbers. Except for a few established systems that were transferred back to the local area, the rest of the installed air force have verified the participating institutions.

For the landing troops, Italy only mobilized two divisions and one brigade of troops, and the equipment of these troops was sold to Italian participating troops through loans for assembly. Similarly, the Spanish and Portuguese army also purchased from the German Third Reich by loans. As for Hungary and Romania, these two little dds who were following the German Third Reich early, had basically changed their clothes because they participated in the war, and they were still using cash!

In order to make the command of participating troops more convenient and fast, the Axis powers had reached relevant agreements before the recruitment. The Axis power army fully adopted the German armed forces. At present, the Axis warring countries have completed the reconstruction of the participating troops.

Spain provided twenty divisions for this military operation. In view of the national strength of this old country, most of the participating troops were infantry divisions. Perhaps they were jealous of the results of the armored forces of the Third Reich in the battlefield, Spain gritted their teeth and purchased 200 tanks and related armored equipment to form an armored brigade. Of course, most of the tanks and armored vehicles purchased by Spain were old-fashioned equipment after the German Wehrmacht was replaced, and the latest black panther-style and glaze rats were non-sale products.

Portugal, a country that was born in the 17th century, was restricted by national strength. After stinging, they gathered up seven infantry divisions, including no mobile troops.

Among the Axis powers, Italy is not the second largest in the German Empire, but the Eastern European country, followed by the younger brother Hungary.

After some calculations conducted by the German General Staff referring to the data after the outbreak of the war, a shocking fact was that Italy is worthy of being a waste country, and the number of army soldiers is full of quasi-prisoners of war with the "coward" brand. If the navy had not had some achievements, I really don't know what Italy can do to make.

Under rigorous data calculation, a German teacher can defeat five Italian masters; a Romanian master can defeat three Italian masters; and a Hungarian master can defeat one and a half Italian masters.

Italy is really a cup on the coffee table. In short, it looks good and it breaks when you touch it...

It is ridiculous and deducible to end with the scolding of some marshals, but the generals had another idea, that is, they could not cooperate with Italy even if they were beaten to death. Even if they had to cooperate, they would never allow the Italian army to serve as the main attack force. If it really didn't work, let the Italians transport equipment and watch over prisoners of war. Anyway, the lazy Italians would definitely be happy to do this.

In summary, after some discussion, the German generals were surprised to find that the Axis powers were so fragile that the Axis powers that lost Germany were nothing!

This conclusion made insiders sweat a lot. They remembered the Second Empire, the flagship of World War I. At that time, William's Second Empire was almost alone in fighting the whole world. The process was that the heroes could not stand the number of people, and the end was extremely tragic and tragic.

An urgent meeting began after reaching this conclusion. At the meeting, the generals made a guilty proposal and strongly suggested that the Third Reich of Germany quickly arm the Axis powers so that the Axis powers can at least be improved in their armed forces.

No one objected to this proposal, but a new question arises. How to arm the troops of allies and what methods should we use to arm our arm? You can't export equipment in vain without pursuing rewards! In that case, we won't be torn to life by the leaders of the domestic military industry?

Siemens and Clauber jointly proposed a proposal, according to previous practice, instead of using loan methods, they were equipped with resources instead of equipment.

The proposal to exchange resources for weapons has been supported by many military industry leaders. The new question is what the various Axis Congresses have, are they willing to use their own resources to exchange weapons? If they are willing to exchange them, will the German armed forces be affected? Don’t pretend to be others and treat themselves badly, resulting in damage to their combat effectiveness.

The proposals that were originally equipped with allies were changed into many proposals. After complex communication, the arms industry must be strengthened under the personal decision of the German head of state. Not only does it require a large scale increase in equipment, but the Germans are preferred for recruiting employees and then the Axis powers will start to recruit employees in full!

Xu Yang had long realized a very serious problem. Although Germany had a five-year plan before the war, the plan had to be revised as time progressed, including the key project of arms.

Before the war broke out, the five-year plan mainly focused on scientific research projects, and the mass production of experimental equipment was hoarded, attached ammunition, oil, steel, rubber, etc.... However, after the scale of the war increased, the Logistics Department calculated that it was originally thought that the reserves that could be used for five years were not enough. Referring to the consumption of the Battle of France, the reserve resources could only be consumed for three years in the end, among which various oil materials, especially aviation fuel materials, are even more worrying...

A new plan is being discussed. During the discussion, for the first time, an expert blatantly proposed that more oil origin must be occupied. Without knowing the combat plan of the Barbarossa, he directly pointed to the Baku oil field and strongly demanded that that place must be occupied within one year.

The expert was immediately warned after making his remarks that an unsuccessful storm disappeared. However, more and more people began to pay attention to the movements of the Third Reich and the Soviet republics. The allies paid as much attention to this as they paid attention to France. A new fuse was quietly buried and waiting to be ignited.
