When Mustache comes to power, only Rock in the world knows what kind of impact this person will have on the future direction of the world.
However, Roque has been mentally prepared for this. The rise of a mustache to power is not promoted by a certain person, but is an inevitable choice of the Germans. Without a mustache, there will be a big beard, or no beard. Due to the current situation in Germany, sooner or later, Germany will
Take this path.
To be honest, Roque made some efforts to prevent Mustache from coming to power, otherwise Roque would not have invested in Krupp.
After all, history has shown strong inertia. In another time and space, Krupp did not win the competition with Mustache. The same is true in this time and space. With the support of Wall Street tycoons, Mustache finally made his debut.
That's right, Mustache relied on the support of Wall Street tycoons to get to the forefront.
Now that we know another time and space, why did Mustache dare to risk the disapproval of the world and start the Second World War?
Because in the concept of Mustache, I never expected that the United States would fight back, and I thought that Germany and the United States were in the same camp.
Replace the mustache with Rock. If you don’t know the direction of history, Rock will take the same risk as Mustache. After all, Germany and the United States have broader common interests than the United Kingdom. They are both eager to break the colonial system established by Britain and France.
Gain access to vast overseas markets and become a future world leader.
This time and space is the same. Think about the Wall Street tycoons’ support for the mustache, then think about the British government’s appeasement policy towards Germany out of continental equilibriumism, and the future “Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact”, and replace the mustache with any one
It's hard for people not to drift off.
Dealing with Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union at the same time almost means that it has the support of the whole world. The only thing left in front of Germany is France, which was crippled in World War I and has not yet recovered its strength.
If it were Luo Ke, Luo Ke would dare to risk the disapproval of the world.
Facts have also proved that Mustache's judgment at the beginning of World War II was correct. After all, Poland was conquered in 27 days, Denmark was conquered in 4 hours, Norway was occupied in 23 days, the Netherlands was annexed in 5 days, and Belgium was defeated in 18 days. It is known as the world's No. 1
France, with one army, only lasted 39 days in the face of the German blitzkrieg before surrendering.
To be honest, if it were the Southern African National Defense Force, Roque was not sure that he would be able to achieve such a record.
After all, Europe is too far from southern Africa and the supply lines are so long. On the premise of defeating the Royal Navy, the Southern African Expeditionary Force will face more and more difficulties as time goes by.
This again involves the issue of a great power trap.
For a country like Germany, one question is inevitable: whether to prioritize the development of the navy or the army.
If you switch to southern Africa, of course adults don't make a choice, they want both.
But considering the resources Germany has, Germany has to choose between the two.
It is not enough to expand this topic into one chapter. I will discuss it again when I have the opportunity.
Let's say that news of Mustache's coming to power spread to southern Africa, and Roque immediately summoned cabinet ministers to discuss how to deal with it.
"Adolf Hitler, who is this guy?" Stoudemire is very unfamiliar with mustaches and doesn't know why Rock attaches so much importance to them.
This is normal. After the end of the world war, the Weimar government in Germany was established until now. Let alone who the previous prime ministers were. Most people can’t even tell how many prime ministers the Weimar government has had during this period.
The answer is ten. In less than ten years from the establishment of the Weimar government in 1919 to 1927, the prime minister of the Weimar government changed ten times.
It was ten times, not ten people. For example, William Marcos served twice.
In Stoudemire's opinion, the mustache is probably no different from that of the previous Weimar government prime minister.
"No, no, no, Cecil, don't underestimate this guy." Rock tried to emphasize the danger of the mustache, but didn't know where to start.
How to say?
Could it be that Mustache will successfully lead Germany out of the economic crisis, then launch a world war in an attempt to conquer the world, only to fall in the ice and snow of the north?
This is no longer a magic stick, it is simply God himself.
"Is there any difference between him and the previous German Chancellor? Oh oh oh, this guy participated in the World War, won an Iron Cross, and was blinded by poison gas. This guy is really unlucky. His eyes are now better
Are you ready?" Henry was looking through Mustache's information. The preparations for the Southern African Cabinet meeting were relatively complete, and every cabinet member had Mustache's resume in front of him.
CV!
It feels like a group of HR are recruiting.
"It should be good, otherwise the Germans wouldn't have elected him as chancellor." Irving is serious. I don't know whether the mustache is blind or not. The Germans are really blind.
It cannot be said that the Germans are really blind. If Mustache had not started World War II, he would undoubtedly have been a German hero.
"Wow, this guy is a legend. He actually captured four enemy soldiers in the Spring Offensive without firing a shot. Look, it's okay that he's a soldier from that country and is such a noob. He's not our Southern African Expeditionary Force." Anton
There is lingering fear in my heart.
Rock frowned. If he didn't speak, the meeting would develop in an uncontrollable direction.
"Gentlemen, what we want to pay attention to is not Adolf's performance during the First World War, but the changes that his coming to power may bring to Europe and even the world." Roque tried to bring the meeting back to the topic.
"The first time! Locke, are you so sure that there will be a second time?" Xiaosi was curious and didn't know where Locke got so much confidence.
Rock picked up the information in front of him and showed it, then threw it back. He knew what was written in it even without reading it: "I was not sure before, but now I am extremely sure that in the next ten years, or less than ten years, there will be a world war."
It will definitely explode."
Rock can't say for sure when World War II will break out. The Great Depression broke out two years in advance, so it's normal for World War II to break out early.
"About three months ago, Adolf proposed a concept during the election campaign called the country's living space. The definition of this word is included in the information." While Roque spoke, the cabinet ministers hurriedly began to flip through the information, and the clattering sounds made
People are upset.
What a bunch of funny guys!
"Adolf made it clear during his campaign that he would strive for a broader living space for Germany, so" Rock sneered, everyone wants living space.
"So, when this guy comes to power, he will be the first to take revenge on us, because we robbed the Germans of Southwest Africa and Tanganyika." Anton also sneered, thinking about southern Africa, what a dream!
"No, no, no, there is no possibility for the Germans to return to Africa. Even if they seize the living space, they will start from the periphery of Germany." Yang Smozi is no stranger to the military and is more familiar with the situation in Europe.
"Alsace and Lorraine, Germany's first goal must be here." Henry was a mining tycoon and had a deeper understanding of resources.
"No, no, no, Germany will not go to war with the French right away. Annexing Austria first is the first choice." Stoudemire interpreted it with business thinking and came to a completely different conclusion.
"Anyway, what does this have to do with us?" Douglas didn't understand why he, who was responsible for scientific research, culture, education and health, was allowed to attend such a meeting.
"We have investments in Germany!" Aida hit the nail on the head. Although Southern Africa's investment in Germany is not as large as that of the United States and the United Kingdom, it amounts to more than a billion rand.
"So for our investment in Germany, we have to support this guy?" Irving was shocked by his conclusion.
The cabinet ministers were all startled, and all eyes were focused on Roque, waiting for Roque to speak.
"We certainly cannot support this guy in provoking a world war," Rock concluded directly.
"But we also need a larger living space." Xiaosi sighed quietly, which immediately aroused the devil deep in the hearts of the cabinet ministers.
Yes, southern Africa also needs more living space.
So if Germany can break the current world structure, southern Africa will also benefit from it.
Coincidentally, Americans and Russians think the same way.
"The expansion of living space does not necessarily rely on war." Yang Smuts has now become a pacifist. He is the Minister of Foreign Affairs. War is the last choice after all diplomatic methods have failed.
Of course, the outbreak of war does not mean that diplomats lose their value.
War, always talk about fighting, even during the World War, Germany and Britain still maintained contact.
This does not mean that the UK is not firm in its will and is on both sides. It just keeps in touch and maintains informal communication through a third party.
"Yes, the expansion of living space does not necessarily rely on war, but at any time, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace, prepare for rainy days, and be prepared to face the worst-case scenario." Rock partially agreed with Yang Smozi's words.
This is the purpose of Roque's cabinet meeting.
"So can we prepare for war now?" Anton's expression was serious, but he was probably already happy inside.
Military preparations for war will definitely require an increase in military expenditures. The military in Southern Africa has also been having a hard time in recent years. Seeing that the G7s from Britain, the United States and Japan have been put into service, the Atlantic Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet are waiting for support.
The Air Force is also dissatisfied. The Ministry of Defense puts more funds into technology research and development and is not active in the upgrading of aircraft. Most of the two thousand aircraft that Ian Hamilton said participated in the last world war."
"Old" models, the Air Force urgently needs military spending to upgrade them.
The Army is even more dissatisfied. During the World War, there were nearly a million soldiers, but now only two divisions have been cut. Although it is stronger than the miserable British Army, it does not conform to the tactical positioning of the Southern African Continental Army.
So in terms of military spending, of course the more the better.
"It's too early!" Yang Shimozi was the first to object.
"It's not too early, we have to prepare for a rainy day," Henry agreed. The increase in orders from the military is definitely a major benefit to Favalte Steel Group.
Ada said haha, I have the final say whether to increase military spending or not.
ps: The chapter names are really not advertising. Brothers also know how random chapter names are. It would be nice to have them. Also, brothers are so awesome. The goal of 1,000 monthly tickets has been achieved. Now I wonder if the goal is set too low.
