The Rise of the Third Reich

In a dimly lit, very clean room filled with the smell of potion, Hersman and Chloe, who had just arrived at the Kremlin (the sleeping little Rudolph was left to Paulus to take care of) saw the stroke, Comrade Lenin, whose brain was severely damaged. He was lying on a recliner, covered with a green blanket, with Krupskaya and several doctors in white coats accompanying him. One of them was Lenin's youngest brother Dmitry, who gave him Hessmann’s Stalin opened the door.

The mentor's eyes were open, but they no longer had the light of wisdom, and he just stared blankly at everything in front of him. There was no expression on his face, very dull, as if he was not interested in anything.

A man who once owned an empire has now become like this. Hessmann looked at Lenin in front of him and recalled everything he had experienced since his rebirth in this world. There is no doubt that he is where he is today because his earlier speculation on Lenin was a huge success...

But now Lenin is dying. Hersman knew that the behemoth of the Soviet Union would fall into the hands of Stalin, a rough and cunning man with an iron will and vicious methods!

He will do whatever it takes to push the Soviet Union to complete the path of industrialization in a short period of time. When the Soviet Union's second five-year plan is completed, the Soviet Union will go from being devastated now to becoming the world's largest industrialized country after the United States. .

At that time, the Soviet Union would not only be a partner, but also a potential enemy. Historically, Germany's failure was due to the fact that it ran into the Soviet Union, which had already completed industrialization, and fell into a war that was almost impossible to win.

But even if he knew what the future of the Soviet Union would look like, Hersman still wanted to promote cooperation with the Soviet Union. Because that is the only way to revitalize the German military industry... However, we still have to be quite vigilant in selecting cooperation projects.

First, try to avoid strengthening the Soviet armored forces. Therefore, Hessmann suppressed the proposal to jointly develop new tanks with the Soviet Union and cooperate with the Soviet Union to build a tractor factory. Now that the Baltic Republic exists, the assembly plants for tanks and tractors can be placed within the Baltic territory. Tactical research on armored forces can also be carried out in the Baltic Republics. There is no need to cooperate with the Soviet Union.

Secondly, there are reservations in aviation cooperation. The collaborative project Hirschmann is currently promoting is an aircraft powered by an air-cooled engine. Historically, with the exception of the Fw-190 and Zero, the combat performance of fighters equipped with air-cooled engines was slightly weaker than that of fighters equipped with liquid-cooled engines.

Moreover, both the Fw-190 and the Zero have improved the performance of the aircraft through special designs. The former has a slender body similar to the BMW801 with a liquid-cooled engine, while the Zero War has an ultra-light design and materials.

Therefore, under Herschmann's intervention, Germany would only provide the Soviet Union with radial air-cooled engine technology - in fact, it was developed jointly by both parties. The Soviets provided most of the funding and would also order some finished products produced by BMW and Siemens. , thus ensuring that BMW and Siemens can continue to invest in the aero-engine field.

As for liquid-cooled engines, BMW, Junkers-Umo, M.A.N, Mercedes-Benz and Opel have all received funding from the Industrial Promotion Council and the Economic Promotion Corporation to develop various models of liquid-cooled engines and engine superchargers. (Turbo and supercharged).

Third, through the guidance of Soviet-German naval cooperation (history, the Soviet Navy employed more than a thousand German military advisers, and many Soviet submarines and surface ships were built with the help of German engineers), the Soviet Red Navy gradually became aware of to the importance of aviation and aircraft carriers.

If possible, help the Soviet Union build a Pacific Fleet with aircraft carriers and battleships - this poses no threat to Germany, but can stimulate Japan and Italy to develop more powerful navies. At that time, Germany will be able to sell the technology acquired during Soviet-German cooperation to Japan and Italy.

If the leader can be fooled into building a fleet of four 15,000-ton aircraft carriers (according to the Washington Naval Treaty, Italy can own 60,000-ton aircraft carriers) before the start of World War II, then the spaghetti may be of some use. .

As long as the Italians can rise up, coupled with the cooperation of the German air force and ground forces, the situation in the Mediterranean will completely change! Once Germany and Italy defeat the British army in the Mediterranean, Turkey, which has always been pro-Germany, will inevitably turn to Germany, and then the situation in the entire Middle East will greatly benefit Germany!

Not only is Germany's oil supply no longer a problem, but even the Soviet Union's southern oil-producing areas will be under the deterrence of German bombers!

However, Hersman's deliberate "calculation" against the Soviet Union was not intended to turn against the Soviet Union in the future. It was only a necessary defensive measure, because he sincerely believed that going to war with the Soviet Union would be of no benefit to Germany—even if war was inevitable, it should be postponed as much as possible. At least after achieving a decisive victory in the war with Britain and taking control of the Mediterranean and the Middle East...

"Comrade Vladimir Ilyich," Hersman took a few steps forward and reached Lenin, who had probably lost his ability to think. "Please rest assured that the Soviet-German friendship you created will definitely be inherited by those who come after you. As long as our two countries can unite, the flag of socialism will one day be planted all over the world!"

He mentioned socialism! This may seem strange to people in the 21st century, but in Europe in the 1920s, Germany was at least half a socialist country. The official name of the Nazi party that Hersmann now supports is the National Socialist German Workers' Party - socialism and workers. It sounds very progressive, but in fact many of the policies implemented by this party after coming to power do have socialist elements. The German working class was quite satisfied with the Nazi Party for a long time.

"Yes! As long as the Soviet Union and Germany cooperate, socialism will surely win around the world!" Stalin also echoed Hessmann. This statement is actually not a lie. At least for now, Stalin really wants to cooperate with Germany.

As long as you have a brief understanding of the history of the Soviet Union and the international communist movement, you will know that in 1924, Stalin proposed the theory of "socialism in one country". It means that the world revolution and other things should be stopped for the time being, and the Soviet Union can just play socialism. With this theory, the Soviet Union and countries with different social systems can live in harmony. Naturally, we can maintain relatively friendly relations with Germany, a "semi-socialist" country, for a long time.

I don't know if it was because he understood what Hessmann and Stalin said, but Lenin suddenly nodded slightly and moved his mouth slightly, but still did not speak.

"Comrade Lenin affirmed Soviet-German cooperation. I think that's what he meant, right?" Hersman turned to look at Stalin.

"Yes! It must be like this." Stalin paused and glanced at Kruspskaya in the room. "This is also the only feasible route at present...The Soviet Union needs to be built, and there will be a long construction period until socialism first succeeds in the Soviet Union."

He didn't say what happened next, but Hessman knew it: Stalin wanted to build the Soviet Union into an advanced socialist country first, and then bury capitalism to liberate all mankind.
