1216 Winter Armistice
This is a major meeting of senior German leaders. They rarely gather together like this and rush back to Berlin from all over the country for a meeting.
"The Head of State!" Pushing open the door, Bauman, as the head of state's secretary, walked into the conference room first. Behind him, the doorman sang loudly.
All the senior leaders of the Third Reich and the famous celebrities who were in the Kuomintang and the Communist Party stood up at this time and looked towards the door.
The head of state walked in with his left hand on his back, holding his head up. He was very optimistic now because the fate of Germany had been completely changed by him.
"Hi! Hitler!" All these great figures who were extremely noble in front of others raised their arms at the moment, stood attentively and shouted the greetings they had to shout in the most pious tone.
These men who are placed in any country in the world will become outstanding talents, and they will all stand attentively to someone who is worthy of their followers and admiration.
The head of state walked into the room without saying a word, but just raised his right hand casually, and walked towards his position after a greeting.
Everyone took back their arms and waited for the head of state to sit in the head, but they were still standing.
"Sit!" After sitting on his chair, Li Le stretched out his hands, pressed down, and opened his mouth and ordered.
At this time, everyone sat back to their position, then turned their heads and waited for the head of state to speak.
"Everyone, we have achieved great achievements in the past six months." Li Le sat in his position and spoke slowly.
While saying that, he looked at the powerful subordinates in front of him: "Watching winter comes, there are still a lot of things we need to do."
"We must increase investment in agriculture and stabilize the people's food supply..." When he said this, Li Le looked at Hess sitting beside him.
Before Hess could speak, and there was no need to wait for Hess to speak, Li Le continued: "We also need to increase our efforts in industry to produce equipment and products that are sufficient for us to use!"
"This is the foundation of our support by the people, and it is also something we must do to control this country!" Li Le did not talk nonsense, but directly talked about the topic.
"Let the people have work and food, this is the most basic requirement for our rule! Let them be rich and live a better life is our ideal!" He said not fast, but he spoke very firmly.
"Improving productivity, allowing more technology to go to civilian use, and allowing our people to truly feel that their living standards are improving are the most important thing we need to do next!" He emphasized the focus of his work, which made Hess smile on his face.
For Hess, the center of gravity of the empire shifted from war to production, and his position as deputy head of state was naturally higher than that of the Imperial Marshal Gore.
What the Head of State said next did indeed follow what he wanted. He only heard the head of state pause and continued: "War is to gain space for survival for our country, so war is only our tool, not our ultimate goal!"
"The war is started because our enemies do not let us control our own destiny! They bully us and force us to sign unequal treaties. These are wrong and unfair to the German people! So we must overthrow these inequality and defeat the enemies that block our self-improvement!" He talked endlessly and said to everyone in the conference room.
When he was excited, he even waved his arm. Hitler's speech was very inspiring, which was related to his frequent body language when he gave speeches.
His speeches often infect people around him, make them cheer, believe what he says, follow his inspiration, and become his followers.
The ultimate goal is to make the people live a better and safer life, no longer be threatened by other countries, and no longer be disturbed by enemies!" When he said this, he paused and looked at his subordinates.
Then, he ended his preparation with two sentences: "No matter what we do, we must be the people-centered! This is our work and the reason why the people choose us to represent them!"
"Before winter comes, we have a lot to do." When we talked about the topic of the subsequent work, everyone focused on it.
Compared with the previous motivation and slogans, this is what everyone needs to do next, and everyone must find what they should do in these commands.
"First of all, it is to consolidate defense on the Eastern Front, which is a very important task!" When talking about this, he looked at Bolauchici sitting next to Goring.
"My Marshal! According to the plan, we should build defenses on the Eastern Front and arrange a defense system to prevent all counterattacks from happening in the future!"
"Abide by the order! My head of state!" Blauchic replied immediately: "The army is ready, we are very motivated, and victory belongs to Germany!"
"Very good! Before winter comes, all offensive tasks will be cancelled, and the troops will use the city as a defensive fulcrum to safely spend the whole winter." Li Le nodded and said.
"My head of state, according to this winter preparation, there is no problem with soldiers and weapons and equipment keeping cold, but I am worried that the Soviets will turn to a counterattack in the winter." Bolauchic reminded with some concern.
He glanced at the head of state sitting in the first place and continued his speech: "The other party may take the opportunity to tear open our defense line in the field and surround the city where our army is stationed in winter."
"I have considered the question you mentioned, too." Li Le said with a smile: "Answer me, my marshal, can't even my soldiers fight defensive battles?"
"Of course not. We will use the most resolute defense to deal with the enemy's counterattack!" Blauchic replied.
In fact, the Soviet army would not be besieging the cities garrisoned by the German army during the winter counterattack. It would only allow the German army to respond calmly and dispatch troops to give the Soviet army a head-on blow.
Compared to attacking cities, the Soviet army was more willing to advance in areas where the German army had weak forces in the field, which was more deadly.
Therefore, no matter whether the Soviet army can break through the German field defense line, it will not be a big threat to the cities occupied by Germany.
What's more, whether the Soviet Union had plans to fight back before taking advantage of this winter to recover its vitality is unknown.
