Chapter 69 Imperialism

After receiving this information, Chamberlain immediately summoned several major officials from the cabinet to discuss, namely the Secretary of the Army, the Minister of the Navy, Lord Sweden, etc., to meet at the Prime Minister's Office:

"Everyone circulate this information and keep it confidential after reading it."

Chamberlain handed the information to the Army Minister Belisha on the left. After reading it, Belisha handed it to the Navy Minister and then began to ponder. This information was not long, just two short sentences:

"According to the 007th century, Germany will soon transport a large amount of arms to China, and the number is unknown."

Several British cabinet members soon finished reading the information, and then Chamberlain began to ask questions:

"Barl Belisha, what do you think?"

After Baileysha pondered for a moment, he had his own opinion:

"Mr. Prime Minister, I think the war initiated by Japan in China has seriously infringed on our interests in China. At this time, Japan is about to fall into Nanjing. If Japan fully occupy China, it will be extremely unfavorable to the British Empire. We will not only lose all the interests and privileges in China, but also magnify Japan's ambitions. We must know that our colonies in Southeast Asia can be rich in oil and rubber, which are the strategic substances that Japan dreams of. After Japan completely occupys China, it will definitely spy on our colonies in Southeast Asia. So I suggest that we keep this information confidential and not notify any party, so that it will be more in line with the interests of our British Empire."

"Baoba...baoba..."

Several British cabinet ministers all gave warmth and Belisha applauded. Belisha's analysis was indeed more thorough. If he had no ability, he would not have been able to become the Secretary of the British Empire's Army.

"I agree...I agree..."

As a result, everyone unanimously approved Belisha's opinion. Which of these cabinet ministers has no interests in China, and in Southeast Asia, they have many interests in China and Southeast Asia. They absolutely do not want Japan to completely occupy China. The best outcome they hope is that Japan and China are in a stalemate. The current form is that Japan has an absolute advantage and is about to attack China's capital, so they do not want this situation to happen. It is natural to let go of German arms ships.

All imperialism exists for their own interests. They cannot really hope that China will be strong. The only thing they want to do is to gain benefits from China. Whether you are a capitalist or a socialist, it will not change their nature of China. Russia is a proof that the former Soviet Union also pursued and intercepted it, and Russia, which is now % of the people, is not the same as being contained.

The German side did not know that any spies had obtained the intelligence of these arms. Fortunately, British spies, because Britain did not like Japan to completely occupy China, so they chose to continue to keep secrets for Germany. This huge hidden danger is considered to be over.

Rommel, who was in the Vienna Military Academy, also received an order soon. This was something that made Rommel ecstatic. Originally, his wish was to command an armored division, but now the head of state arranged for him to command an armored army. Although most of the soldiers of this army were Chinese soldiers, they were still fully equipped with German equipment.

Rommel still has some old friends in Berlin. After all, he was the captain of the head of the head of the guards and soon learned the whole story. It turned out that his student Krupp Andet recommended himself to the head of state. When Rommel thought of Andet, the talented and fickle boy came to his mind. This time he helped the teacher. He heard that this kid was promised by the head of state in person. It was really more popular than others. A German major went to command a Chinese armored division. It was unheard of. Who would let his father be Krupp? The era of fighting for his father was indeed everywhere.

After receiving Hitler's order, Rommel immediately rushed to Berlin. After meeting Hitler, he began to form the "Flying Eagle Legion". Hitler asked Rommel to go to the 2nd Light Armored Division to draw personnel. This division will soon be renamed the 7th Armored Division. The 7th Armored Division in history is the meritorious force that Rommel started with. It is really invincible and can be defeated.

Hitler still made some considerations. The tanks equipped by the 2nd Armored Division were originally No. 1 and No. 2 tanks. Now, when the 2nd Armored Division was drawn, they could immediately enter actual combat as soon as they went to China, without having to retrain. Rommel did not dare to pick and choose, so he immediately went to the 2nd Armored Division's resident Touringen to select personnel.

Li Mo put several of his brothers in the 2nd Light Armored Division very early on. Pesme, Funke, Maissi, Otto and others were all in the 2nd Light Armored Division. Pesme and Otto were both tank soldiers. Otto had long seen him become the battalion commander of the Tank Battalion, and Pesme also became the company commander. The other brothers and brothers had at least lieutenants. They were all through actual combat, and Li Mo did not believe that his teacher Rommel would look down on them.

There is another person Li Mo who cannot forget, that is, Italian Vincent. Vincent has a good family background. He has only been back to China for more than half a year and his military rank has been promoted to major. It is impossible to have no background. This time he went to China, Li Mo still invited Vincent. The boy changed three girlfriends within half a year. As soon as he received a telegram from Li Mo, he immediately left his new girlfriend and immediately wrote a report to study in Germany. Two or three days later, Vincent got the approval and hurriedly took a plane to Germany.

June 12, 1938 at 6:00 pm:

There are 12 10,000-ton ships quietly parked in the Bremen Port, ten of which are cargo ships, two of which are passenger ships, and one of them is a combat cruiser Gneisenau. Before the Bismarck-class design appeared, the German Navy designed and built three German-class armored ships due to the restrictions of the treaty. They have the firepower of battleships and the displacement of cruisers, and use electric welding to reduce the weight of the hull. They use diesel engines and light armor, equipped with 9 280mm main guns, 12 150mm secondary guns, and the maximum speed can reach 26 knots. Their firepower is stronger than that of cruisers and faster than battleships, making them a good surface breaking ship.

Next to the battlecruiser of Gneisenau is Admiral Hippel, the others are two light cruisers, Emden and Connisburg, and four destroyers Z31, Z32, Z33, Z34, and 12 U2 submarines. This ship is the essence of the German Navy, and they will be the main force of this escort mission. This fleet can be said to be quite advanced and powerful. Germany organized such a powerful and luxurious fleet to escort merchant ships in China, and it may not be without the intention of showing off to Japan.

Hitler could only show off and it was impossible for the naval frigate to really attack the Japanese fleet. Hitler was not so stupid. After the frigate completed its mission and had left China, Germany would announce the volunteer army of the "Flying Eagle Legion". The volunteer army means that it is a voluntary team composed of the people of the people. It is not a government act, but actually the German government's behavior. It is just a means to temporarily avoid the immediate rebellion between Germany and Japan.
