Imperial Overlord

Likewise, the German navy has done its own battle over the past year, defeating the British navy and taking the mantle of the British navy as the most powerful naval force in the world.

It has received several battleships and aircraft carriers of the British Navy, and in terms of the number of capital ships, it has been able to compete with the world's mainstream naval powers.

If it weren't for the lack of personnel in the German navy, the entire heritage of the British navy could not be digested in a short period of time, it would have been the world's first navy half a year ago.

Germany now has seven battleships, including Bismarck, Tirpitz, Kaiser, Warrior, Warspite, Barham, and Ramirez. The battlecruisers included Repulse, Scharnhorst, and Gneisenau.

The number of cruisers is a little more, including a total of 25 of various models such as Prinz Eugen, Nuremberg and Lutzow.

Among them, 10 heavy cruisers and 12 light cruisers surrendered by the United Kingdom, and 4 relatively old cruisers were sold to Japan as materials, and 5 were compensated to the Italian Navy in various names.

There are 7 aircraft carriers, including Zeppelin, Ark Royal, Dreadful, Radiance, Elbe, Danube, and Europa. The models are messy, but there are a lot of them.

At present, most of the naval forces of the Third Reich are concentrated in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, and they are trained while fighting, not in the Atlantic Ocean.

After all, they have no actual combat experience and can't immediately devote themselves to high-intensity ocean operations, so they can only watch the **** storm over the Pacific Ocean.

But this is not a bad thing. This naval force can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, watching the Japanese and US navies fight in the Pacific Ocean, but secretly develop and accumulate strength, which is obviously in line with the fundamental interests of the Third Reich.

In the coming 1942, the German Navy will have a qualitative improvement, from a destructive navy to a protective navy.

During this year, the German Navy will launch at least five aircraft carriers to give the Navy the ability to fight decisively at sea.

The reason why the two of them were seated in this position, but not the National Socialist Party officials, was because the content of this meeting revolved around the military.

Then, farther away, Dr. Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda, sat opposite Speer, Minister of Industry.

Dr. Goebbels has been really happy recently, and has reached the pinnacle of his favorite way of publicity.

The Berlin Film Festival in 1941 was successfully held. Germany, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Romania, Hungary, Sweden, Switzerland, the Middle East and other countries and regions all sent people to participate in this event.

The technological and artistic innovation of German cinema has amazed the whole world. Although the United States did not send people to attend, it did not prohibit stars and directors from going to Berlin in their own name.

Therefore, before and after the film festival, many Americans also came to Berlin and saw with their own eyes this international metropolis built by the National Socialist Party for a year.

Goebbels deliberately made this city a paradise, where everything has nothing to do with war, movie theaters play love movies, bars stay up all night, and the lights are full of entertainment, as carefree as Hollywood in the 1960s.

Outside of Berlin, on the Eastern Front in Germany, the war propaganda manipulated by Goebbels was still going on frantically.

Like a schizophrenic patient, Germany on the western front seems to have forgotten the war, but Germany on the eastern front is the place with the strongest atmosphere of preparation for war in the world.

On the street is a reception desk that encourages men to sign up for the army, a movie theater is playing a documentary of the German tank army going forward, and the hot air balloons in the sky are covered with slogans of the glory of joining the army...

Thanks to the efforts of Goebbels and his propagandists, Germany added a million troops to the Eastern Front, mostly from Belarus and Ukraine...

When it comes to these soldiers, one has to mention the man who armed these recruits, the organizational genius that the Führer personally promoted: Bertold Konrad Hermann Albert Speer.

The ability of this man is fully worthy of his long name. The German industry he took over was a mess. After he presided over the work for a year, the production capacity of the huge German industrial machine can even compete with that of the United States.

He supplied countless shells and ammunition to the German army, transforming backward weapons into state-of-the-art equipment.

The German army in 1939 was generally equipped with the No. 2 tank Mauser 98K rifle, and the German army in 1941 already had Tiger tanks and STG-44 assault rifles.

Although there is credit for the head of state, it is Speer who organizes the production. He went to great lengths to double the number of production workers in Germany, rationalized the distribution of all raw materials, and squeezed out all the resources that could be squeezed out for rational use.

Then, the final result was that the German military industry put all its energy into production without enemy bombing.

In the past year, the living needs of the civilians in the rear and the combat needs of the soldiers on the front line have been basically met. Speer can really be said to have contributed.

Sitting further down is the representative of the SS, Reinhard Heydrich, who has been working hard for a year and has almost replaced Himmler who should have been sitting in this position.

To be able to achieve such dazzling results proves that Reinhard Heydrich is also a very good talent.

He is a practical bureaucrat ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and has outstanding ability. In the past year, while avoiding the footsteps of Himmler, he has to try his best to manage the SS into a force that the Führer is satisfied with, which can be regarded as racking his brains.

The good news is that he succeeded. He successfully transformed more than half of the concentration camps into labor camps. This achievement makes him very much appreciated by the Fuhrer.

With his support, the Waffen SS was also well-resourced and became the second largest military force trusted by the Führer after the Wehrmacht.

Opposite Heydrich, nicknamed the Blonde Beast, Ribbentrop, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, was also in his place.

As the helm of the German foreign service, Ribbentrop has also achieved remarkable results. Germany has signed a series of cooperation agreements with Britain and France, all of which are the results of his efforts.

With these agreements, Germany has deepened cooperation with countries such as France, the United Kingdom, and Italy, and Europe has also been united unprecedentedly through his efforts.

Speer once praised Ribbentrop's achievements to the Führer: "It is because of his efforts that I can so easily integrate European industry."
