“Is the information accurate? President!”
After Himmler learned this information from Mainz, he immediately took it seriously.
“Not sure, this is the information sent back by Vanelk, which was leaked to him by President Harding. It may be true or false. However, President Harding’s mistress was sent to us, and we can make use of this to make a fuss!”
The Azores are certainly important, but this archipelago is too far away from Hans’s homeland. Hans is now unable to fight for this archipelago.
So Mainz plans to let the SS investigate this matter and confirm this information. If this information is accurate, then he plans to let Vanelk come forward in the name of Goldman Sachs and buy this place.
In this way, Goldman Sachs can transform this place according to Mainz’s requirements. When the German army needs to use it in the future, it can directly send troops to occupy it. There is no need for repeated construction and investment, which saves them a lot of time and money!
“Got it, I’ll arrange it right away!”
Himmler understood Mainz’s meaning very well, so he didn’t need him to explain too much, he immediately knew what he should do!
……
The Portuguese are indeed facing a severe economic crisis, so they do intend to sell the Azores.
After Himmler sent people to contact the Portuguese, he found that they had contacted several buyers, not only the Eagle Sauce in North America, but also the old overlords, the Sun Never Sets and the Gauls, and even the Samba people, their former colonies, were not spared, and they also put forward a list of offers to the other party.
As a result, there are only two countries that are really interested in this island, the Sun Never Sets and the Eagle Sauce!
This is not difficult to understand. The Azores are located in the middle of the North Atlantic and are strategically important!
There are several large islands in this place, with a large area of several thousand square kilometers. With this area, it is entirely possible to build military bases, especially naval bases, and build a large number of warehouses to store food, oil, weapons and ammunition and other materials, serving as logistics supply points for the fleet, greatly expanding the scope of the navy’s activities!
For the Sun Never Sets and the Eagle Sauce, who have a strong navy, whoever can control this place can control the sea power in the Atlantic!
So, both countries began to bid to Portugal, hoping that the Portuguese can sell it to them!
After hearing this information, Himmler felt a little confused:”General, I can understand why the British want to control this place. After all, the Azores are closer to them, and they have always regarded the North Atlantic as their own backyard and do not allow others to get involved. So whether for military or strategic purposes, they will take this place into their pockets!”
“But why are the Americans so eager to fight for this place? Hasn’t their president always insisted on isolationism?”This is a good question. For the Americans, the strategy of going global is what they have been trying and promoting, and this strategy reached its peak during the term of the former President Will.
But after the death of President Will, this trend came to an abrupt halt, and the Americans began to return to the old path of conservatism.
The purchase of the Azores opened the way for entry into Europe. This is an obvious military expansion strategy!
And President Harding was a firm supporter of isolationism, so he probably didn’t want to buy the Azores.
Well, this matter was definitely not promoted by President Harding himself, but by others.
Well, if you think about it carefully, it is easy to guess the identities of these people!
There is only one answer: the Navy of the Americans!
Like the Never-Setting Sun, the Navy of the Americans is far higher in status than their Army.
This is also easy to understand, because there is no strength around the Americans. A very strong neighbor. Their northern neighbor has a small population and is a colony of the British Empire. The Eagle Sauce has long been prepared for this neighbor, and they have even formulated a combat plan to invade the northern neighbor!
Although the southern neighbor has a large population, its industrial strength is too weak, and the combat effectiveness of the army is not good. It was beaten by the Eagle Sauce army several times decades ago. At this time, the southern neighbor did not dare to be an enemy of the Eagle Sauce, and had already surrendered to them and became their younger brother!
Therefore, on the whole, the Eagle Sauce faces only one direct threat on the mainland, and that is its northern neighbor. The small population of the northern neighbor cannot support too many troops, so the Eagle Sauce Army quickly began to disarm after the war. By 1925, the size of the Eagle Sauce Army had dropped to 150,000.
This number is much smaller than their navy!
In 1925, the Eagle Sauce Navy had two fleets, the Atlantic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, seven naval bases and 300 warships. The total tonnage of the warships exceeded 1 million tons, and the tonnage of the main battleships exceeded 500,000 tons. Their personnel strength exceeded 350,000 people, making it a world leader on par with the Royal Navy on which the sun never sets! The
Eagle Sauce’s special geographical location determines the key role of the navy. Compared with the useless army, the navy is much more important to the Eagle Sauce.
Therefore, the vast majority of the annual military budget is allocated to the navy, and the army can only get a small portion of the money.
This makes the navy’s position in the Eagle Sauce country very important. The position is much higher than that of the army!
Therefore, even if President Harding is unreliable and wants to return to the old path of isolationism, these powerful navies in their country may not agree with him!
The resistance of the navy will naturally arouse President Harding’s disgust, so he revealed this information to Vanelk and asked Vanelk to buy this place in the name of Goldman Sachs Consortium and turn it into their private property. In this way, the military has lost the opportunity to buy the Azores before the government’s financial allocation, and this matter is likely to fail!
So President Harding hopes that Vanelk will come forward and ruin this matter!
“I didn’t expect that the Eagle Sauce would actually start such a mutual struggle, but this is also good, it gives us an opportunity!”
Mainz smiled and said:”Let Vanelk come forward to buy this place, so that the ability can destroy the Eagle Sauce Navy’s plan and make the British Empire hate the Eagle Sauce!”
Everyone felt a little strange when they first heard Mainz’s words, and they didn’t understand what this sentence meant.
But after they thought about it carefully, they immediately woke up! If
Vanelk comes forward to buy this place, it will become the private property of Goldman Sachs and Vanelk. Private property is sacred and inviolable, so even a powerful navy can’t do anything to them. They can’t just rob them openly, right?
What’s more, Goldman Sachs has the support of President Harding, a traitor, behind it, so it is even more impossible for the military to do anything to Vanelk and Goldman Sachs!
So as long as Vanelk buys this place, then the plan of the Eagle Sauce Navy will definitely be ruined!
As for the British, no matter whether Vanelk bought the archipelago or the Eagle Sauce military got the archipelago, these islands eventually fell into the hands of the Eagle Sauce, so the British will definitely be suspicious or even���Hate the Eagle Sauce, and regard their behavior as ironclad evidence of their ambitions towards Europe, and will therefore be more hostile and vigilant towards the Eagle Sauce!
In this way, the contradiction between the Eagle Sauce and the British Empire will be further intensified, and neither side will really gain an advantage. The one who really enjoys the fruits of their labor is actually Hans who did not take any action!
“From this point of view, this business is really profitable, but I don’t know when our fleet can go up there!”
Navy Commander Dönitz rubbed his hands excitedly, indicating that he couldn’t wait any longer!
