Chapter 46

On January 1, 1935, the ruling government of the Third Reich held a New Year's reception.

Military and political dignitaries of the Third Reich, as well as celebrities, were invited to attend this cocktail party. The ruling lady Eva Braun did not attend because her belly was getting bigger. Now Eva Braun is completely focused on the child in her belly.

"Gentlemen, thank you all for your support of Empire throughout the last year. We have achieved tremendous results throughout last year. While all countries were troubled by the economic crisis, we successfully emerged from the economic crisis and controlled the unemployment rate to 3%. We have also built a number of railways and highways, which have greatly improved the domestic traffic situation. People's lives have also improved significantly. Although, we are still not good enough and there are still many areas for further improvement. However, I firmly believe that the future of the Third Reich will be better and better!"Hess said excitedly to everyone.

"Long live! Long live the empire! Long live the government!"

The attendees all cheered, and they looked at Hess with admiration.

In their minds, Hess brought hope for the revival of the Third Reich.

In the past year, not only did the Third Reich's economy recover, but at the same time, various This strength has also been enhanced a lot. Especially the National Defense Force, the army, navy and air force have all achieved great development.

The army already has one armored division, and two other armored divisions are being formed, and they will soon be able to form combat effectiveness.

Even , after the army's assessment, it realized the strong combat effectiveness of the armored division and has planned to form more armored units in the future. The navy and submarine forces have begun intensive training. A large number of submarines and surface warships are being built. Perhaps In a short time, the Third Reich Navy will be able to have a powerful submarine force and surface fleet.

The same is true for the Air Force. Currently, there are already two fighter aviation wings, the JU-87 dive bomber and the JU-88 medium Bombers have also begun mass production to equip troops. More fighter wings and bomber wings will be formed in the future. This will make the Third Reich Air Force step by step develop into the most powerful air force in the world.

In terms of military strength The growing power of the Third Reich has naturally made the Third Reich straighter and straighter.

It will no longer give in without a bottom line on many issues faced by the Allied Powers.

For example, the issue of the Saarland, the Rhineland The problems of military zones and war reparations.

Hess is determined to gradually solve these problems as the military strength of the Third Reich becomes stronger and stronger.

Among other things, the Saarland, which is controlled by the Gauls, must Return to the Third Reich. This was an extremely important heavy industry center of the Third Reich, especially in coal and steel, second only to the Ruhr area.

As for the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, it was also controlled by the Gauls and the Kingdom of Flanders..According to the provisions of the"Versailles Treaty" signed at the time, the military power of the Third Reich was not allowed to appear in this area.

This was undoubtedly a restraint and even an insult to the Third Reich. Naturally, the Third Reich wanted to re-enter the Rhineland. It's in the military zone.

As for the war reparations, Hess doesn't want to repay them anymore.

Even now that the Third Reich has emerged from the economic crisis and has begun to develop rapidly.

However, the disciples of the Third Reich are too weak, and there are still many places where money is needed. Go. If this money can be saved, the Third Reich can have more funds to develop armaments and improve people's livelihood.

Of course, whether it can ultimately waste this war compensation depends on the next series of events. Manipulation will do.

At the beginning of the new year, the eyes of the Third Reich are all fixed on the Saarland in the west.

Although it is only an area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers and a population of only a few hundred thousand.

However, it is not only industrially developed , the geographical location is also very important.

In the last world war, after the Second Empire failed, the Gauls sent troops to occupy the Saarland and wanted to annex this area.

However, they encountered strong opposition from the Weimar State at the time.

The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets was also unwilling to see the Weimar State being extremely weakened and the strength of the Gallic State being further strengthened, so it did not support the Gallic State.

In the end, the Gallic State had to agree to temporarily occupy the Saarland. After that A referendum will be held in Saarland to determine the ownership of Saarland.

If most of the Saar people decide to return to the Third Reich, then the Third Reich will take back this place.

If most of the Saar people want to belong to the Gallic State, then this will become the territory of the Gallic State.

However, judging from the current situation, the vast majority of the Saar people are devoted to the Third Reich.

But the biggest problem is that the Gauls have great ambitions for Saarland, and they will not just watch the Third Reich regain it. This was undoubtedly a great test for the Third Reich.
