.., the latest chapter of Empire Overlord!

Hitler was willing to talk politics with his generals, and he was willing to use his own political ideas to influence military decisions.

This made him invincible in the previous wars, and also left many army generals with the image of "the head of state understands war very well".

However, this image did not play its due role in the endless decisive battle of the Soviet-German war.

The army stubbornly believed that it should attack Moscow first and use the perfect transportation network in the northern Soviet Union to win the blitz.

Hitler stubbornly believed that the Caucasus should be taken first to obtain enough resources to fight a war of long-term consumption.

The result was actually very tragic. Hitler was unhappy when he attacked Moscow, and the Supreme Command constrained the army; when he attacked the Caucasus in turn, a lot of generals of the army threw the blame, and Paulus was finally killed.

Hitler was also willing to talk politics in front of the chaebols, and he could have the IG Farben controller praise him for his wisdom and wisdom after a meeting, which is a remarkable thing in itself.

But being profound did not make Hitler's knowledge profound. After his deception was seen by his subordinates, talents in various fields began to use professional methods to coax him.

Goering, for example, who was Hitler's supporter and follower, often coaxed Hitler on a technical level.

He once said proudly to others: "The Fuhrer only asked me how many planes I had that could go to war, but he never asked what type of plane I was."

What's worse, someone once sold their own train guns to the Fuhrer, and thought that this kind of train guns would have a miraculous effect in anti-tank battles...

Sadly, the seemingly knowledgeable Führer, Hitler, actually believed this kind of nonsense, and finally forced Guderian and other generals to cry and laugh, and ended the farce by betting.

Fortunately, the current head of state is no longer the head of state. Li Le's control of future technology is more precise than any expert.

He has opened more plug-ins in this regard than any other. In terms of technology, his voice can be said to be pivotal in Germany.

In politics, although Li Le may not have Hitler's keen ability to capture the opponent's weaknesses at this time, he can still follow the rules.

The established national policy has been formulated for a long time. At this time, as long as it is used, it does not need any changes.

"I think we can look at the matter of the British war reparations in two parts!" Li Le looked at Sir Aiden, and Attlee, whose face was full of expectations, and gave his plan.

He flicked the armistice treaty with his hand, as well as the report submitted by the United Kingdom in writing on the request for forgiveness of war reparations, and continued: "On the one hand, we can slow down the recovery of part of the reparations."

After speaking, without looking at the expectations on the faces of the British Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary, he said the second point on his own: "On the other hand, you can come up with some products to pay off your debts!"

This may be the simplest trade settlement plan between the two countries: no matter how much war reparations Britain asks for relief, Germany has only one attitude: use things to pay off debts!

In this way, Germany took countless products from Britain, including naval warships, artillery shells, and British engines.

The Rolls-Royce engine was one of the most advanced engines in the world during World War II. Being able to use a Rolls-Royce engine is also a blessing for many German cars and planes.

It is precisely because of the joining of the industrial systems of countries such as Britain and France that Germany can calmly carry out its four modernizations on the premise of fighting while fighting.

This is not alarmist. The Soviet Union may be fighting against Germany with all its might, and Germany has only contributed seven percent at most.

When the Moscow battle was in full swing, Speer finalized the shipbuilding industry integration method in France and began to integrate the shipbuilding industry capacity in western France.

The entire French shipbuilding industry must start to move, to produce qualified transport ships and supply ships for Germany.

This is a big project. At least Germany's ship demand in the next few years will depend on France's industrial capabilities.

According to Li Le's plan, in the next three years, Germany will build 1,000 new military auxiliary ships of various types and 3,000 large ocean-going ships.

Because when it comes to warships, in fact, the German Navy has no shortage of anything, but when it comes to other capabilities, the German Navy still has a long way to go.

If the Mediterranean route is to be busy, what is needed is not a warship, but a large number of merchant ships. Communicate the presence or absence of the Indian Ocean and expand the Asian market, each of which requires countless ships.

Plundering requires transport ships, and dumping also requires transport ships, and what Germany lacks is precisely the maritime heritage possessed by a maritime country like Britain.

Similarly, in Li Le's plan, the navy to compete with the United States for world hegemony is absolutely crucial.

And an ocean-going navy is completely different from the existing German navy.

The naval bases that the ocean-going navy needs are few in Germany. Therefore, a large number of supply ships are the equipment that Germany desperately needs.

The ability to project, the ability to engage in frontal engagement with the U.S. Navy, and the ability to control the ocean are the key areas that the German Navy needs to build in the future.

This is not to break the war with the United Kingdom in the Atlantic Ocean. It does not require ocean-going supplies, as long as the warships drive over to destroy the route.

Destroying the route of the enemy country and destroying the maritime transportation of the enemy country is only the most basic battle for sea domination.

The real naval battle is to finally make use of the ocean and control the ocean! The German navy just doesn't have this capability.

If you want to supplement this ability, you can't rely on submarines and radar aircraft carrier swords to go sideways and play a small routine of technical asymmetric warfare like the German Navy.

To make use of the ocean and dominate the ocean, we must follow the British Empire during World War I, and the way of the United States after World War II, step by step, and develop in a dignified and comprehensive manner.

The only two remaining advantages of Germany in this regard are the existence of the head of state Li Le, which can avoid some detours in technological development; and Japan is desperately trying to contain the monster of the United States.

"We have developed a new set of standards, which are used to regulate the transportation industry in the future..." When Li Le said this, he raised the issue of industry standards.

Now that Germany is the hegemon of Europe, it is a matter of course and a matter of course for Germany to propose an industry standard.

When he heard about setting standards, British Prime Minister Attlee's face changed. The thing he is most afraid of may be that no matter what Britain does in the future, it will have to refer to German standards... (Imperial Overlord)
