Chapter 843 Indian copy (book has been lifted
"Marty of the Empire, what should we do?"
After confirming that Japan had begun to seek separate peace, Marshal Redell asked Hessman with some annoyance.
"What can I do?" Hessman shrugged, "Pretending to be confused, just pretend nothing happened."
"Just pretend nothing happened?" Radell was stunned. "Marty of the Empire, shouldn't we stop Japan's behavior?"
In fact, Germany is also doing things that make peace alone!
Hessmann refused to comment, just said: "The secret diplomatic negotiations exist at all times, and don't have to take them seriously. What we need to consider now is how to use Japan to bleed the United States... and spend as little European mark as possible."
Germany is not the United States. The current GDP of the United States is about 500 billion to European marks (according to the theoretical value of gold, 1 US dollar is relative to 2.5 marks), while Germany (including the Gongjun Alliance)'s GDP is only more than 200 billion, which is almost 40% of that of the United States.
In this case, Germany certainly cannot be as generous as the United States, and must consider spending less money and doing more. Moreover, there is one thing that the United States cannot compare with Germany, which is the oil sea! Germany cannot give Japan a drop of oil.
Therefore, when Hessman formulated the German version of the Lease Act, he intended to control Japan's use of mechanized equipment.
The Japanese should work harder and burn less oil! Only in this way can the war be maintained.
However, Japan seems to be unaware of the oil bottleneck problem and still wants to expand the scale of the mechanized army.
"There is another news that I learned when I attended the headquarters meeting in the morning," Hessman sighed softly, saying, "Japan rejected the additional conditions of the Lease Act. They do not want us to play coaching chess and want to make decisions on our own."
This is expected. How could the Japanese be obedient if they don’t suffer much? So none of the senior officials of the German Wehrmacht present expressed surprise.
"But their diplomatic delegation did not leave," Hessman continued, "but put forward new requirements to Minister Ribbintrov... They hope that we can provide the 18-cylinder engines of the BMW801 series, the BMW802 series and the British Sagittarius series for their reference. If possible, they also want to send aircraft engine experts to Europe, and work with experts from BMW, Bristol and Land God-Ronna to further improve the 18-cylinder Nakajima Ha-45-44 engine (Yushi). Their engine has many problems. If it is not solved as soon as possible, it will delay the mass production of the ki84 fighter."
The Japanese Ki84 fighter jet is not very useful in Hessman's opinion, because the design indicators of this aircraft are not very advanced, not as good as the latest German model of the F-190 series, nor as good as the latest British Storm and Furious fighter jets, nor as good as the "ultimate piston fighter jet" ta-152/ta-153 that Folk Wolf is developing.
Moreover, the prototype of the Japanese ki84 aircraft has just completed the test flight, and the engine has many problems. Hessman knew that it was all flaws. It did not have high-temperature resistant alloys (the formula and process are confidential, and no one would hand it over). The heat dissipation design was not up to date (the German heat dissipation design can be copied, but after copying it, the engine will definitely be overweight, because the Japanese cannot make such a good heatsink), and Japan's aviation gasoline is not good enough.
There is no way to solve all problems in the short term. Moreover, Germany can provide little help, which is the core technology. Who is willing to give it to others? If Germany does not send the core technology to Japan, the Japanese will overcome difficulties one by one, even if they get drawings and samples of the engines of Germany and the UK, they will not be able to make a useable engine without two or three years.
In Hessman's view, instead of making such a mess, it is better to hardly install the low-end products of Japan's own Venus engine (large 14-cylinder) or Germany's BMW801 series onto the Zero fighter, just like the Zero Six Four in history.
"And..." Hessmann said expressionlessly, "The Japanese also made new requests based on the 'rental supplies' we were preparing to provide. They wanted to obtain the Soviet T-34 and KV series tanks seized by us to arm their armored forces, hoping to get them as soon as possible."
"They want the T-34 and KV series tanks?" Marshal Halde, the First Military Control Commissioner, suddenly became happy when he heard the news, "Do these Japanese know how difficult it is to serve Russian goods?"
The tanks of the t-34 and KV series exchanged by the German army are mainly t-34/76, kv-1, and kv-2, and there are a lot of them. However, the German Wehrmacht, which has sufficient mechanized equipment, did not send these tanks to its own troops, but sent the poorer parts back to the furnace, and the better parts were sealed for emergency needs.
But to be honest, the German Wehrmacht did not like these Soviet tanks because they were poor in reliability and had a lot of fuel consumption.
"I don't think they know," Hessman shook his head, "but these T-34 and KV tanks can be buried at least on the beach as fixed fire points, so I'm going to give them 1,000."
"I have no objection," Halder replied. "So will the engine samples and drawings be given?"
"We can't give the most advanced ones," Hessman said, "because they are secretly making peace with the United States now, we must be on guard."
"So what to do with the Lease Act?" Redell asked, "Do we want to support it?"
"Support!" Hessman thought for a while and said, "Japan is an ally no matter what, and must give spiritual encouragement."
Whether the Lease Act can be passed is not the final word of Hessmann, it is under the jurisdiction of the German parliament. However, whether the materials can be evenly distributed to the Japanese and what can be given to the Japanese is what Hessmann said.
"What about the Far East Fleet?" Raidel asked again, "If you want them to go to Pearl Harbor or..."
"Return to the Indian Ocean," Hessman said, "the Japanese will not allow them to destroy the lifeline of the Soviet Union's North Pacific. And... we will take some action in India next, increasing the maritime power there to prevent American submarines and ships from breaking ships."
"The Soviets are about to invade India?" Marshal Halder frowned slightly, "I heard from Mountbatten that India is very messy now."
Mountbatten was just appointed as the governor of India in the UK. A few weeks ago, when he took office, he passed by Berlin and talked about the Indian issue with Marshal Halder. At the same time, during Hitler's visit to the UK, the British Provisional Government formally raised the request to ask Germany to intervene in the Indian issue.
"It is precisely because of the chaos in India that Stalin invaded." Hessman smiled and said, "The Soviets spent more than a year building roads in Afghanistan. I heard that tens of thousands of Afghans had been killed. Isn't that such a huge price just to open the door to India? Now he is looking for a chance to cause trouble for us."
The German intelligence department had long sent "British military advisers" to Afghanistan. Although it could not help the Saints defeat the Soviet invading army in the end, it still established an intelligence network in Afghanistan. Although the Afghan Revolution was successful with the help of the Soviet Union, various feudal remnants were still active. In the mountains and remote areas of Afghanistan, there were still many tribes that did not obey the Kabul people's regime.
Therefore, it is very easy for "British spies" to collect intelligence in Afghanistan.
"Since the beginning of this year, the Soviet Red Army has been in full swing," said Garen, the General Staff Intelligence Director. "The total force has now exceeded 300,000, and it is said that an Indian Front has also been established.
In addition, the headquarters of the Indian Bolshevik Party has recently moved to Kabul. There is also information that the Indian Bolshevik Party is still in contact with Gandhi and is preparing to promote Gandhi as the president of India's post-independence."
"What did Gandhi say?" Hessman asked lightly.
"Gandhi seems to have no financial management of the Indian Bolshevik Party, and he still leads non-violent and non-cooperation in the prison."
"Is there a way to get him to cooperate?" Hessman asked.
"It's hard." Garen shook his head, "his position in the minds of Indians is too high."
Hessman turned his head and looked at Halder. Halder was the newly opened commander-in-chief of the Indian Front. He just waited for Guderian to take over the first military chief and went to India to make a move with a group of bad-minded Ah San.
This is such a headache!
"Can't move Gandhi?" Halder asked with a frown.
"No," Hessman replied, "at least we can't touch him... There is also a Nehru who is also very confused, but he also has a very high WeChat message. In addition, it is Boss, who is also a fool."
"What about the Soviets?" Hald asked, "Are the Bolsheviks in India smarter?"
"Smart?" Hessman smiled bitterly, "The main slaves led the slaves to engage in GCism together, which is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of in my life."
Hessman already knew about the situation of some Indian Bolshevik Party. Most of the main leaders and even members of the party were noble Brahmins or Kshatriya. Most of them were very rich, and they didn't know what medicine they took wrong but believed in the Bolsheviks.
"The people on both sides are equally confused?" Halder smiled, "That's good news."
