Chapter 9 Borrowing Money 2
In fact, the reason why the German generals were confused was that they only mechanically calculated the troops in the Soviet army's organizational sequence and knew nothing about the existence of the Soviet "invisible troops". The Soviet army began to secretly adopt the "stealth force" system as early as the early 1930s. It's efficient, reliable, and requires almost no physical resources. This system could turn one division into two divisions overnight. It enabled the Soviet General Staff to double the number of divisions in a very short period of time.
The formation of troops during World War II mainly depended on personnel and equipment, among which the formation of command structures was the most critical.
Take an ordinary Soviet infantry division as an example. Normally, this division has two deputy division commanders. One performs daily duties, and the other, in addition to participating in normal training and combat preparations, also has a secret title - "Division Commander of the Stealth Force"; there are also two deputy chiefs of staff of the division, including One also had the secret title of "Division Chief of Staff of the Stealth Force"; and so on for every regiment, every battalion, every company, down to the squad. It can be seen that each division has another complete set of command structures as backup.
When the war broke out and the infantry division received an order to immediately go to the front line, the division only had one deputy division commander, who performed daily duties, while the other "invisible force division commander" remained. station. Likewise, backup command structures at the entire division level, from regiment to platoon, were retained. Their secret title is now public, and the "Stealth Force" has finally surfaced. This newly formed division can be supplemented by 80,000 reserve soldiers within 24 hours. The old troops had just set out, and the vacant military camps were quickly occupied by the newly formed troops.
Of course, this newly formed division is definitely not as good as the one that just went to the front line in terms of combat effectiveness, but it is still a division after all. The new division commander was a highly trained and experienced officer who had been on the front lines for many years, acting as a stand-in for a real combat division commander. Those officers who serve as regimental, battalion, and company commanders are also active combat officers, not reservists. These officers usually deal with active soldiers and new weapons and equipment, have participated in rigorous military training and exercises, have excellent personal military skills, and have rich management experience. In addition, all the officers of this newly established division, from the division commander to the company commander, have worked with each other for many years and are very familiar with each other, ensuring the efficient operation of the new command structure.
The personnel problem has been solved, but where did the weapons and equipment of this newly established division come from?
In fact, this question is very simple. These "stealth troops" use old-fashioned weapons. For example, when the Soviet artillery began to modify self-propelled artillery, the old towed artillery that was replaced would certainly not all be melted down as scrap steel. They would be sealed for use by "stealth forces." These "stealth forces" are all troops using old-fashioned equipment. They do not have sophisticated weapons and equipment, and their maintenance costs are extremely low at ordinary times. However, at critical moments, they can reinforce divisions equipped with new weapons in surprising numbers. It can be said that it was this system that saved the Soviet Union and allowed it to maintain a continuous source of troops during World War II.
William II nodded frequently and asked in disbelief. "Did you come up with all this?" He never imagined that his normally ignorant grandson would have such fantastic ideas.
"Of course." Yannick naturally would not admit that this idea was plagiarized, so he took the opportunity to ask. "Grandpa, you see, everything I do is for Germany. Just tell me how much money you can spare?"
William II spoke after reading the contents of the document carefully. "Up to 200 million."
Looking at William II's serious expression, Yannick understood that it was impossible for him to increase the amount. "Okay, 200 million is 200 million. Grandpa, I plan to visit the Soviet Union unofficially in a few days. Please ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to tell them."
"Why?" Yannick never went abroad before, and rarely appeared in public. Now he suddenly offered to visit other countries, which really surprised William II.
Why?
Of course it’s for the future!
Although the Soviet Union and Germany in the original time and space signed a "non-aggression pact", Teller tore up the agreement when he wanted to, and fought when he wanted to, and mobilized a large number of troops, tanks and aircraft to go to the Soviet Union.
In the first six months, the Soviets occupied a large area of land, killed and injured millions, and captured more than 2 million people. At that time, only the Soviet Union had so many people.
Although the two countries fought to the death, until Germany implemented "Operation Barbarossa", the relationship between the two countries was good enough to wear a pair of trousers. Before the invasion of Poland, a certain Dalin and a certain Teller even wished each other happy birthdays. Big Beard’s congratulatory message to Little Beard mentioned: “We have a friendship made of blood.”~~o(╯□╰)o
Nowadays, both the Soviet Union and Germany feel isolated from the mainstream world. Germany needs a huge supply of raw materials and a testing ground for new military technologies; Maozi needs a technology provider and military collaborator. After all, the Soviet Union is still relatively poor and its industrial base is quite poor. They must be in urgent need of external support.
Yannick was very sure that Germany and the Soviet Union would hit it off without wasting any more words. The Soviet Union provided Germany with a large amount of food, oil, metal and other materials. Germany provided a large amount of technical equipment, established tactical bases in the Soviet Union, and secretly trained its own air force and armored forces. Everything was the same as in the original time and space! !
Moreover, the Soviet Union's industry was too backward. Even if the technology and equipment eliminated in Germany were handed over to the Soviet Union, the Soviets would think that they would be quite advanced.
The most important thing is that the flow of various technical personnel also facilitates the deployment of more agents to the Soviet Union, laying a solid foundation for the future!
After hearing Yannick's plan, William II couldn't help but nod. "Thank you for your hard work, kid."
Yannick shrugged and said indifferently. "What does this little hardship mean? Who asked me to be born in the emperor's family?" But in my heart, I was glad that I had traveled to the emperor's family! Otherwise, how long will we have to fight to gain control of that huge power? Maybe he will be killed by bullets without eyes in any battle.
"Grandpa, I think we can send a special envoy to Britain to talk about amending the treaty. Talk more about the threat from France. Those troublemakers definitely don't want to see a powerful France. Battleships, battlecruisers, and cruisers are not allowed to be built by us. We have no objection, we can build a few destroyers. And we guarantee that the caliber of destroyer guns will never exceed 90 millimeters. This caliber is tantamount to scratching the itch of battleships and does not pose any threat at all."
Because the treaty stipulates that the construction of replacement ships for the German Navy's battleships must be started 20 years after the launch of the target ship. All warships started after 1913 must be dismantled regardless of whether they are in service. Currently, the German Navy only has 8 ships remaining from the High Seas Fleet. Ancient pre-dreadnoughts, 8 dilapidated old small cruisers.
The United Kingdom has always pursued a continental balance policy. In addition, according to the historical process of the original time and space, even if the British do not explicitly agree with his proposal, they are likely to acquiesce or even condone it.
