I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 342

According to authoritative information, Hitler had some sympathy for China and wanted to win over China, but he gave up in the end. Hitler did not hate China. First, Hitler’s main targets were the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and the United States. I don’t feel it.” Secondly, China and Germany are too far apart and there is no conflict of interest. Hitler naturally didn’t have the need to like or hate China; as for Hitler’s attitude towards the Chinese, it should be said that he just “had no feeling.” In Mein Kampf, China is mentioned only two or three times, which are not very good words, but they are not specifically aimed at China, because Hitler directly commented in "Mein Kampf" that the Japanese "are a lack of imagination." Inferior nation with great power” is not polite to allies, not to mention China. The derogatory comments on China are just Hitler’s generalizations. Hitler has not studied China and Chinese people in depth. He is also a racist. People are the most outstanding people. As for the Chinese who he doesn't understand and have no conflict of interest with Germany and who are far away in the sky, he certainly thinks "not an excellent nation" without thinking.

In real history, there were not a small number of Chinese in Nazi Germany. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, most of them were evacuated, but there were still a few people. For example, there was the only Chinatown in Germany in Hamburg, Germany, but the scale was very small, only about 200 Chinese.

Hitler did not harm the Chinese people when he was anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish. Even if the Republic of China declared war on Germany, Hitler did not specifically order to "solve the Chinese in Germany". It was not until May 1944, at the end of World War II, that the Gestapo dismantled the In Hamburg Chinatown, 5 Chinese were arrested, 129 of them died in concentration camps, and the rest survived. From this, it can be judged that these Chinese were not massacred by the Nazis, but were imprisoned. They should have been abused, but they were not. was slaughtered.

Generally speaking, Hitler's attitude towards China and the Chinese people was "no feeling" and "no hatred", nothing more.

It is false to say that the real Hitler liked the Chinese or hated the Chinese.

）

Through this meeting, Hitler made up his determination and decision to "go east", but Keitel was still a little bit unwilling: "Führer, maybe we can win over Turkey and let Turkey go to the Middle East. In this way, we can get both China and China." Avoid direct conflict with Britain and France!" During the last world war, Turkey's predecessor, the Ottoman Empire, was a strong ally of Germany.

"This idea is inappropriate!" Jiang Weiguo retorted, "First of all, Turkey's national strength and military strength are weakening, so it may be difficult for me to take up this role. If Germany provides great assistance to Turkey, then Britain and France will understand that Turkey has already defected to Germany. If Britain and France go to war with Turkey, It is equivalent to going to war with Germany. At that time, Turkey will not be able to hold on. Should Germany come forward? It will inevitably be in a dilemma; secondly, the Middle East is so good. If the Turks know that the Middle East is full of oil, they will still be willing to withdraw from the Middle East. Hand over the Middle East to Germany? Turkey is not even as good as Italy, and it is simply a burden!" The oil fields in the Middle East were only discovered after the end of World War II, so right now the Allied Powers are temporarily slowing down their attacks and occupation of the Middle East, so there is no need to worry The United States, Britain and France will discover oil fields in the Middle East in advance.

If oil fields in the Middle East had been discovered before or during World War II, Hitler would have allowed Rommel to occupy them, and the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy, and Japan would have already fought to the death.

Hitler agreed.

Keitel was still very unwilling: "If Poland doesn't know how to praise and doesn't take refuge in us, then it will be too difficult for us to fight the Soviet Union. The main reason is that the passage is too small, only the width of Romania's more than 300 kilometers, and we can't invest the maximum amount of troops at once. , I'm afraid it will make our situation worse!"

Jiang Weiguo said with a smile: "General Keitel, we have a saying in the art of war in China, which is called 'soldiers do not lie in numbers but in precision'.

Although the army of 500 million is larger than the army of 300 million, if it is concentrated and the weapons, equipment and supplies of the 500 million army are concentrated on the 300 million army, then the 300 million army has the combat effectiveness of 500 million troops. .

In the Battle of Nanjing, the Chinese army defending the city was only [-], but they were able to defeat three with one. Why?Because the [-] Chinese soldiers in Nanjing are the essence of the Chinese army!" He looked at Hitler, "Although Germany's military strength to attack the Soviet Union was weakened by nearly half at the beginning of the war, as long as the quality is improved, it can make up for the lack of quantity.

If the 300 million German troops are all mechanized troops, how can their role be compared with the 500 million infantry troops?The head of state, General Guderian of Germany is really amazing. His emphasis on tanks can be said to be far-sighted.

On the Chinese battlefield, we could defeat a division of the Japanese army with [-] tanks. What would happen if the German army on the Soviet battlefield had [-] or even [-] tanks?Less infantry, no problem.

On the other hand, the German army only attacked from Romania. First, it could advance all the way to the Caucasus region located in the southern part of the Eastern European region of the Soviet Union very nearby and very conveniently. Second, after rushing through Romania, it was Ukraine!Take Ukraine, manage and consolidate Ukraine well, and Germany will have a rock-solid forward base and a loyal new ally in the Soviet Union! "

"Yes! Yes!" Hitler nodded again and again, he had been completely convinced by Jiang Weiguo.

Chapter 413 Pointing the country (3)

The "secret talks" between Jiang Weiguo and Hitler and other high-level German leaders were carried out to the satisfaction of both parties. Hitler was very satisfied because he had learned a lot of "war wisdom" from Jiang Weiguo, and a large part of it was "wisdom beyond the times". With his mind beyond history, he carefully planned for Germany a path with the highest chance of winning the war for Germany and the entire Allied countries including China (certainly it cannot be said that victory is certain, but at least let Germany commit in the original history. Many strategic mistakes have been corrected or improved), and Jiang Weiguo is eloquent. Facing the doubts and even rebuttals of the German high-level, Jiang Weiguo is confident and answers well. Germany's chief architect who launched the world war", he can be called Zhang Yi or Su Qin; China has reaped great benefits.

Jiang Weiguo is Chinese (although he is half Japanese), and everything he does is for his own motherland: China.

Jiang Weiguo's dedication to advising Germany is also serving the interests of China.

When Germany fought the Soviet Union, there was basically no German navy. The main force of the war was the German Army and Luftwaffe.

The military strategy formulated by Jiang Weiguo for Germany is: the army will use mechanized troops as the core to fight a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union (just to maximize the benefits in the early stage of the war, not to defeat the Soviet Union with a blitzkrieg), take Ukraine, and severely damage the Soviet Union. The heavy corps of the Army in Eastern Europe, on the one hand, helped Ukrainians to become independent from the Soviet Union, treated Ukrainians well, exposed the dark rule and brutal crimes of the Soviet authorities to Ukrainians, won the hearts of Ukrainians, and turned Ukrainians' hatred of the Soviet authorities to the Ukrainians. Helping Germany's war, making Ukraine a loyal new ally of Germany, Germany's advance base against the Soviet Union, and Germany's granary (Ukrainian agriculture is extremely developed, because Ukraine has a vast black land, which is only three in the world The first is Ukraine, the second is the Great Plains of Mississippi in the United States, and the third is Northeast China. The above three places are all granaries rich in grain), Germany’s war helper in fighting the Soviet Union, and on the other hand, the German army continued to advance, but not in Moscow The goal is to take Stalingrad as the goal, take the Caucasus region, seize the large oil fields there, and solve the problem of oil shortage in Germany and the entire Allied countries (the oil fields in the Caucasus region are centered on Baku, which is a member of the Soviet Union The capital of Azerbaijan, located on the Caspian Sea, is rich in oil resources. In the absence of oilfields in the Middle East, the Baku Oilfield is the largest oil field in the world and the largest oil field in the Soviet Union at this time. Baku Oil The output accounted for 65% to 71.5% of the total oil output of the Soviet Union at that time. Under the condition that the mining was not difficult, the total amount of recoverable oil in the Baku Oilfield exceeded 12 billion tons.

); this is the task of the German Army. As for the German Air Force, seizing the air supremacy on the Soviet battlefield is the first step. Assisting the German Army is a secondary task. Bombers) crazily bombed the Soviet Union's resource production areas, industrial areas, railways, ports, bridges, tunnels and other industrial areas and traffic arteries, destroying the Soviet Union's war potential.

As long as the German Army and Luftwaffe do these two things, plus the support of China (and maybe Japan), and the United States, Britain and France do not intervene, the demise of the Soviet Union can be regarded as a sure thing.

Of course, if Germany wants to attack and defeat the Soviet Union, it has to do one more thing: arm the Chinese army and do its best to help China build heavy industry and military industry.

This meeting was held for two days, and determined the strategic direction of the "Eastward Advance" of the Allied Powers and improved many specific strategies and means of fighting against the Soviet Union. Jiang Weiguo is a well-deserved "first-class hero".

After the meeting, Jiang Weiguo stayed in Berlin for two days. On the one hand, he had a detailed discussion with Hitler about "Germany's large-scale aid to China (it should be said that Germany's large-scale arming of the Chinese army)", and on the other hand, he had friendly personal contacts with several high-level German officials.

"Strategic bomber..." Goering looked at Jiang Weiguo with a smile, his smile was full of sincerity, "This thing, Mr. Jiang, you reminded and advised me and the Luftwaffe three years ago, and Tell me that the Americans have successfully developed a strategic bomber called the b-17, which can fly to a height of 11000 meters, with a range of 3000 kilometers and a bomb load of 8 tons.

Mr. Jiang, you are right, the Luftwaffe needs strategic bombers, in this way, the Luftwaffe is not an auxiliary force of the German Army or Navy, but a powerful air force with independent strategic strike capabilities!" He seemed full of emotion , "Speaking of which, it is not that no one in the Luftwaffe recognizes the role of strategic bombers. For example, my former chief of staff, General Walter Weaver, he put forward a code-named 'Ural bomber' as early as six years ago (1933). 'The long-range heavy bomber, Ural means that this aircraft can fly from the German mainland to the Ural Mountains of the Soviet Union.

I have to admit that I don't know enough about this major event. In addition, General Weaver died in an air crash three years ago. This plan lost its strongest supporters and was almost abolished. However, after your initial With reminders and advice, this program has gained new life.

Yes, you are right, blowing up an enemy tank factory is more valuable than destroying a thousand enemy tanks on the battlefield!"

Jiang Weiguo was very happy and looking forward to hearing this: "Did it succeed?"

Goering smiled slightly, nodded, and then made an inviting gesture: "Would you like to visit together?"

At an airport of the Luftwaffe in the suburbs of Berlin, Germany, Jiang Weiguo was overjoyed to see a German strategic bomber that did not exist in history. It looks no less than the American B-17, and they are all giants that can soar into the sky. As big as an airship.

Goering explained to Jiang Weiguo enthusiastically: "The German Air Force's plan to develop a strategic bomber is code-named 'Ural'. You already know the intention. There are two airlines that have accepted our mission, one is Dornier and the other is Rong. Gram, after two and a half years of hard research and development, the two companies have come up with their products, Dornier is do-19, Junkers is ju-89, both are excellent, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Longer, the do-19 flies farther, and the ju-89 has a larger bomb load. After weighing, we chose Dornier’s do-19, because the slightly smaller bomb load can be compensated by the number of aircraft, and the range is not enough. make up.

In the future, we will mainly produce do-19, and we will also produce ju-89 appropriately. To fight the Soviet Union, we need the former, and to fight the United Kingdom, we need the latter. The Soviet Union’s territory is too deep, and the voyage is the most important. It’s very close, and the range doesn’t need to be too big!”

Jiang Weiguo smiled and pointed to a row of Luftwaffe strategic bombers on the airport: "Are these all DO-19?"

Goering nodded, then smiled and said, "It also has a nickname, 'Panda'!"

"Panda?" Jiang Weiguo was slightly surprised.

Goring nodded with a smile: "First, it looks 'chubby' like a panda. Second, the panda is a unique animal in your China. We named it 'Panda' to express our respect to you, Mr. Jiang. !"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "I'm really flattered!"

According to Goering's explanation, the main performance of this German "Panda" strategic bomber is: 4 engines (4 aircraft), engine power 1000×4 (horsepower), 24 meters long, 6.3 meters high, and a wingspan of 33 meters. It has a total weight of 22 tons, 8 machine guns, a maximum ceiling of 10000 meters, a maximum range of 2800 kilometers, a maximum speed of 380 kilometers, and a bomb load of 6 tons.

There is no doubt that the "Panda" is slightly inferior to the b-17 in all aspects of performance, but it is still an excellent and powerful strategic bomber. After all, Germany's scientific research level and scientific research resources are worse than those of the United States. It is worse than the b-17 (the United States took more than three years to develop the b-17, and Germany also spent nearly three years to develop the "Panda", and the time is the same for both sides.

).

Germany's aircraft production this year (1939) is 8300 (including military aircraft and civilian aircraft, of course, most of them are military aircraft. In addition, Germany has transformed its economy into a wartime economy, including the production of various aircraft weapons will greatly increase), now it is June, Germany has produced more than 6 aircraft this year, and "Panda" has produced about 4000.

Goering was very generous and forthright. His gratitude to Jiang Weiguo was not as simple as giving a "Chinese name" to the German strategic bomber. After asking Hitler for instructions, he generously presented Jiang Weiguo with 50 "Pandas" and a batch of supporting equipment. parts.

Jiang Weiguo was so moved that he almost snorted and burst into tears. He thought to himself: "Damn it! I wanted to buy a b-17 from the Yankees. I was rejected, and now the Germans are giving me so many strategic bombers for nothing! Although it is a little less, it is better than nothing, anyway, the future is long, and I will ask Lao Xi slowly in the future!"

After befriending the German Air Force for a while and getting a valuable strategic bomber, Jiang Weiguo went to befriend the German Army again. He was the director of the German Army Armored Forces, "the father of the German Armored Forces", and "the founder of the Blitz". Heinz William Guderian.

After some conversation, Guderian had a strong feeling of "seeing each other late" and "a rare bosom friend" towards Jiang Weiguo, because Jiang Weiguo, like him, was a fan of tanks and "mechanized warfare".

Although Germany was the first country to form an armored division, and it is well known to later generations that Germany relied on mechanized combat blitz tactics in the early days of World War II to be invincible and invincible, but most of the senior officers in the German army except armored officers Many senior officials, including the Supreme Command, do not understand the use of armored forces (the attitude of the German senior leaders to tanks is similar to the attitude of the Japanese military commanders to aircraft carriers at this time), and they generally believe that although armored troops are a new arm with great development prospects, However, land warfare is still dominated by infantry combat, just like the last world war. Armored soldiers are only an arm that supports infantry and can only be subordinate to infantry.

This can be seen from the fact that the German army only established armored divisions and assigned them to the infantry army without establishing a separate "armored army".

Although Guderian has Hitler's support, there is still a lot of suspicion among the top military officials, which has always troubled him.

Jiang Weiguo coincided with Guderian's modern land warfare thinking, and his rhetoric made Guderian feel that he had a bosom friend, and Jiang Weiguo saw farther than Guderian in the blitzkrieg tactics. He hit the nail on the head Pointed out several major weaknesses of blitz warfare. First, as long as the enemy troops left behind their own mechanized troops are not completely annihilated or completely dispersed, they can easily be reorganized to launch a counterattack to the rear of their own troops. , will cause the supply line to be stretched rapidly in a very short period of time. Once the logistics supply cannot keep up, the mechanized troops on the front line will become exhausted. There will be no fuel, no parts, no shells, and no matter how many tanks are scrap iron, then they will be attacked. The enemy's counterattack may even fall into the enemy's roundabout encirclement, and the supply troops of one's own side are also vulnerable to the enemy's counterattack force; third, tanks are of little use in urban offensive and defensive warfare, so as long as the enemy uses street fighting properly, it can To defend against blitzkrieg, the enemy's urban agglomeration is precisely the nemesis of one's own tank group.

Jiang Weiguo's eloquence made Guderian "inspired and benefited a lot". Through Jiang Weiguo's "pointing out the maze", Guderian not only strengthened his belief in blitz warfare in mechanized warfare, but also corrected its defects with the right medicine.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo didn't come to be a tutor for nothing. With Hitler's approval, Guderian gave Jiang Weiguo 50 "Leopard" tanks for nothing.

Because of Jiang Weiguo's intervention, the Leopard tank has been born ahead of schedule, and it uses a more reasonable diesel engine to make its performance even better.

"Fifty Leopards can completely form a heavy tank battalion!" Jiang Weiguo was very proud, "Fifty Leopards, even against a tank division regiment in Little Japan, a heavy tank battalion of Lao Tzu beats it with a tank division group!"

On the issue of tanks, Jiang Weiguo immediately remembered a very important matter, and hurried to find Hitler.

Jiang Weiguo explained that due to the large production of Soviet tanks, there should not be much problem in tank battles between the German army and the Soviet army. However, it is very difficult for the Chinese army to face the Soviet tank group, and more tanks and more equipment are needed. More anti-tank guns. Of course, considering Germany's limited national strength and military strength, China will not continue to extend its hand to Germany in this matter, but requests Germany to start developing an "individual anti-tank weapon" so that infantry can also Destroying tanks, if this weapon is born in advance, the anti-tank capabilities of the Chinese and German armies will be greatly increased, and the infantry units of the Chinese army will not be helpless when encountering Soviet tank groups.

What Jiang Weiguo was talking about was the "Iron Fist" anti-tank rocket launcher developed by Germany during World War II to fight against the torrent of Soviet tanks.

Prior to this, except for Molotov cocktails, cluster grenades, and explosive kits, it was very difficult for infantry to destroy tanks. Even with Molotov cocktails, cluster grenades, and explosive kits, the infantry who launched anti-tank operations basically never returned.

Germany's "Iron Fist" allows infantry to have powerful anti-tank capabilities. It should be noted that it is not a rocket launcher, but a recoilless gun. The U.S. military's Bazooka is the individual rocket launcher. The bazooka was the two major single-soldier anti-tank weapons during World War II (it can hit both tanks and enemy fortifications), plus the rpg-60 developed by the Soviet Union in the 7s, it can be called the "three weapons for infantry to fight tanks". Great Artifact".

At this time, Germany naturally had the technology to develop "Iron Fist", but it was not stimulated by actual needs.

After hearing Jiang Weiguo's description, Hitler was very interested and approved the development project of this weapon.

Jiang Weiguo also "buy one get one free" to Hitler, told him about the Soviet Katyusha rocket launcher in advance, and vaccinated him, hoping that Germany would spy on the Soviet rocket launcher intelligence on the one hand and use it on the Soviet battlefield. On the one hand, I also hope that the German military industry department can start the development project of the German rocket launcher as soon as possible.

In this regard, Hitler was naturally obedient and readily agreed.

Of course, if the German rocket launcher is successfully developed, China will definitely get a share of it.

On the evening of June 6, Jiang Weiguo signed a new treaty on behalf of the National Government with Hitler on behalf of the German government.

This new treaty is about Jiang Weiguo's idea that "in order to better launch the war against the Soviet Union, Germany should arm the Chinese army on a large scale and do its utmost to help China expand its heavy industry and military industry."

This treaty is fundamentally different from the previous German aid to China. It used to be a transaction, but now it is mutual aid. Germany aids China for the common goal of Germany and China. To put it bluntly, Germany needs to fight the Soviet Union in the Far East A heavy army group was deployed in the rear, but Germany could not deploy German troops to mainland China or the Korean Peninsula, so it directly armed Chinese soldiers and "used Chinese soldiers as German mercenaries."

Of course, although this description is very straightforward, it is not entirely true, because Germany does not really regard the Chinese army as mercenaries, and it is impossible for Jiang Weiguo to allow his own army to be regarded as mercenaries by other countries. The two sides are still friendly This is the same reason as in the past when the United States armed British soldiers and Soviet soldiers fought against Germany.

The core content of this top-secret treaty has five points:

First, within one year (before June 1940), Germany armed 6 divisions of the Chinese Nanjing Army (a total of about 10 soldiers). The regiment-level, brigade-level, and division-level headquarters of the Chinese army that received these German weapons must There are German advisers, and German military personnel in the military-level command have the right to participate in the discussion and final decision of the war; China promises that these 35 German armorers must be used to fight against the Soviet Union, and must not be used on a large scale for other wars, but can be used on a small scale used, but casualties and ordnance losses shall not exceed 10% of the total;

Second, Germany helped China achieve a monthly production of 1940 aircraft within one year (before June 6) (the total number of monthly aircraft production includes the "wooden aircraft" produced by China itself);

Third, Germany helped China achieve a monthly production of 1940 tanks within one year (before June 6);

Fourth, within one year (before June 1940), Germany helped China achieve a 6% increase in military industry output;

第五，德国在一年内（1940年6月前）帮助中国实现月产钢铁30万吨（日本的1/2）。

Achieving these five points is undoubtedly a major burden for Germany. It is estimated that it will cost Germany more than 20 billion US dollars. The aid to China only benefited China unilaterally. At this time, Germany’s aid to China benefited both China and Germany. It benefited both China and Germany, because Germany turned China into a "second Germany" that Germany attacked the Soviet Union.

Germany is going to fight the Soviet Union, and it costs 20 billion US dollars in exchange for hundreds of thousands or even millions of Chinese troops to fight the Soviet Union with the German army. This is very cost-effective.

Germany needs to spend such a huge sum of money. The source of this huge sum of money is the disarmament of the German army itself. To put it simply, Hitler originally planned to use 500 million German troops to attack the Soviet Union. After signing this treaty, Hitler only spent 400 million Even less, the saved armaments and funds are invested in China.

As a reference, in the original history, in 1938 this year, Germany’s military expenditure was about 80 billion US dollars. After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, Germany’s military expenditure in that year (1941) suddenly soared to more than 200 billion US dollars.

Therefore, Hitler was very happy with Jiang Weiguo's suggestion. Germany seems to have spent a huge sum of money, but in fact the benefits are several times the investment, unless there is a situation: the Chinese army is as bad as the Italian army on the Soviet battlefield , causing Germany's money to go to waste.

The braver the Chinese army fought on the Soviet battlefield and the greater the results, the more profitable Hitler's investment at this time was. The worse the Chinese army fought on the Soviet battlefield and the smaller the results, the more Hitler lost his investment at this time.

Jiang Weiguo gave Hitler full confidence in the Chinese army, relying on the performance of the Chinese army in the Sino-Japanese War.

If the Chinese army had performed horribly in the Sino-Japanese War, Hitler would naturally not be able to make such a big gamble.

The two signatories of the treaty were Hitler himself and Jiang Weiguo himself. This treaty is called the "Sino-German Treaty of Berlin".

After the signing was completed, Hitler extended his hand to Jiang Weiguo with a smile on his face amid the applause of the German senior officials at the scene.

Jiang Weiguo held Hitler's hand tightly and said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, respected head of state!" In all fairness, in the original history, Hitler treated China much better than Stalin treated China.

Hitler smiled and said: "From now on, Germany and China are truly comrades-in-arms in the trenches!"

"Yes, Germany and China share the same hatred and fight side by side!" Jiang Weiguo felt tears welling up in his eyes.

Since Jiang Weiguo (Meng Xiang) came to this time and space, he has been working hard to rectify, improve, and support his motherland that is riddled with holes, but "the development foundation is too poor" and time is tight. Time, even if Jiang Weiguo has a mind that transcends history, it is difficult for him to truly make a big splash. Now, the opportunity has really come. This is not only an opportunity for Jiang Weiguo, but also an opportunity for the entire Chinese nation.

The Hilliman Hotel next to the Prime Minister's Office, the room where Jiang Weiguo and Liu Wugou stayed, in the middle of the night and early in the morning.
