    Leap, a stroke of genius that shakes the world Chapter 163 This is life (3146748).  (Please remember me) On a warm spring day, the vast fields of East Prussia are glowing with vitality. This is the richest grain depot and pasture in the German Empire. It is also the hometown of the current German Chancellor Hans Rogen. Here is his intimate family.  Family members¡ªeighty-year-old grandmother, strong-bodied mother, uncles, aunts, cousins, cousins, cousins, etc., can be regarded as a family of four generations living under the same roof.  Of course, according to European habits, these distant relatives only have the opportunity to gather together unless there is a funeral or wedding. On weekdays, even if someone becomes the Prime Minister, they don't leave frequently.  This time, Logan came to attend the wedding of his former fianc¨¦e.  The lover got married, but the groom was not him. This extremely sad scene did not fall on Logan.  In a small church in the countryside, he dressed in civilian clothes, just like an ordinary relative or neighbor of the couple, and gave the newlyweds a sincere smile and blessings.  Although it is the union of the sons and daughters of two farmers, the wedding in a traditional ceremony does not have any extravagant ostentation. This is just like the wedding of Logan and Avril Lavigne. One party was the Prime Minister of Germany and the other was the granddaughter of the German President. They only invited  Some relatives and close comrades-in-arms attended the wedding, and the announcement was made in a small corner of the last page of the Berliner Zeitung.  This seems regrettable, and it is not in line with the values ????of Oriental people. However, spending a lot of money on a wedding does not mean true happiness. If you are willing to be ordinary psychologically, you may be able to go more smoothly in the long road ahead.  After attending the wedding, Logan was not in a hurry to return to Berlin, but stayed in this beautiful countryside for a few days.  People who hold military and political power always give people the impression that everything is in order. However, when a country is on the right track, it should be like a sophisticated and complete machine. Control will only be used when the speed or status needs to be adjusted.  button, and other times it can operate according to the existing program.  Therefore, William Frick, who was in poor health, rested for a long time, the prime minister of the cabinet indulged in the beauty of the lakes and mountains, and the minister of defense was always thinking about his blueprints. This group of people who were "not doing their job properly" managed a huge country in an orderly manner.  The clouds of war hanging over the people's heads are gradually dissipating, and the national finances, which have suffered huge deficits for years due to the wartime system, are also obviously improving. As for those soldiers who are fanatical about military affairs and believe in war, they have also found their way to the German-American Joint Staff and the Pacific.  own new position.  "I really miss the old days, relaxed and carefree." Wearing a shirt, waistcoat, breeches and leather boots, standing next to the stable next door, Logan's posture may remind the neighbors of the shy young man he used to be.  He was deeply attached to the red-haired girl of this family and placed her second only to the country and honor. However, time, like a knife, cut off the past feelings.  Today's indifference seems to some people to be unkind.  There are things deep in the soul that even God cannot change.  "I was just an ordinary country boy at that time, but now I am a leader who is envied by everyone. Isn't it great?" In the stable, Lucy, with her fiery red hair in her arms, was holding a long brush and was using all her strength.  to give her bay horse a bath.  The foal that was born more than two years ago has now grown into a majestic horse. Although the body is still a little thin, the strong embryo can be seen at a glance.  Lucy¡¯s new husband, the heir to a nearby farm, is a young man with a warm smile on his face. He usually helps his neighbors without hesitation, but today the person helping him has become his father-in-law.  He stood in the stable forking hay, looking at the young and charismatic German Chancellor with admiration from time to time.  As fellow townspeople, they might have been playmates when they were children. However, Logan started attending military school very early and probably didn't have much contact during his long youth. It's just that his friends at that time at most thought that this guy who was fanatical and military would one day  He became a general, but his status now surpassed that of an ordinary marshal.  There was still unresolved resentment in the other party's words, but Logan did not mean to be embarrassed. He said calmly: "Everyone has different pursuits at different stages of life, and some changes are difficult to describe in words.  I hope you can understand and sincerely wish you happiness and happiness." "It is the best blessing that you can come here. Besides, you have always taken good care of Monte." When I said this, the intensity of the brush was still there.  Not reduced.  "There is something" Logan paused, "Mont wrote me a letter a while ago, saying that he wanted to be a volunteer in China." "If he returns with honors, we will thank God, but if he encounters  Unexpected" The red-haired girl looked up at the young man with extraordinary temperament in front of her, leaving the latter to guess the last sentence.  "I haven't replied yet, I just think young people should practice more." At this point, Logan suddenly felt that heHe was using this matter as a disguised form of coercion, so he changed his words: "During the war years, people advocated force and worshiped the military profession. I believe that with the advent of peaceful times, people will gradually dilute this kind of thinking." "I don't think about war.  I don¡¯t understand at all, and I don¡¯t want to understand,¡± Lucy said stiffly.  At this moment, Logan finally felt that it was time for him to leave. He said hello to the young man in the stable who was similar to his own age: "Hey, Michelle takes good care of Lucy. Although she sometimes has a stubborn temper, she is definitely a good person."  "Good girl" A simple country youth may not think about the meaning behind this sentence, or when dreaming at night, he may occasionally imagine himself as that superior person.  When he returned to his family¡¯s farm, his adjutant August seemed to have been waiting for him, but there was no trace of impatience or anxiety in the young man¡¯s decent words and deeds.  "The office called and said that Ciano and his party have arrived in Berlin. They said that if you have no plans to return to the capital in the short term, they will come directly to K?nigsberg to visit you." "No hurry, let the fire burn their butts."  For the Italians, Logan was still completely disdainful. Since the task force was lost in Manila, his dream of making money from the chaos was completely shattered.  In order to restore the ever-growing leadership position and restore Italy's international prestige, Mussolini's cabinet quickly announced a shipbuilding plan of unprecedented scale. In addition to two super battleships comparable to the Yamato class, four large  Aircraft carriers and four medium-sized aircraft carriers are also included in this plan. However, even if Italy's own shipyards have the ability to build such a level of capital ships, the Italian government's funds are unable to sustain the huge shipbuilding costs.  Given the current situation, it will be difficult to complete the project in not just five years, but even fifteen or twenty-five years.  It rained all night, and the French fleet, which had completed its repairs, paid a friendly visit in the Mediterranean. Although all plans to dock at Italian ports were cancelled, it still caused a lot of panic in Italy - nothing compared to the Germans.  Forget it, the old enemy in the Mediterranean who finally overcame the enemy "resurrected". Although there are still a few battleships still being repaired and refitted, there is a steady decline. The French ships that have returned to service have suddenly surpassed the Italian ones in size and tonnage.  As for the local fleet, the former has also undergone modern modifications with the help of the Germans. The improvement in combat effectiveness is self-evident.  For this reason, the Italian government is eager to get Germany and France to fulfill their commitment to forming a joint European fleet. Once "unified", the competitive relationship between the three will not be so prominent.  August smiled knowingly: "How about we just go fishing in the Baltic Sea?" Logan thought for a while: "Hey, unless we take a submarine and go into the sea, Ciano will chase us right here.  "Just wait." "Oh, by the way, there is a secret document." August took out a brown paper bag from the briefcase he always carried with him. Despite its humble appearance, according to the formal procedures, it required the pilot to make a special trip from Berlin to deliver it.  Come, I was transferred to K?nigsberg Airport and taken by security personnel to this country horse farm.  "There are still confidential documents now?" Logan was slightly surprised. It was common for such documents to be highly confidential during the war, but now it is a peaceful period of democracy and harmony.  August couldn¡¯t answer this question. The accompanying staff were sent to stay in K?nigsberg by Logan. There were many security guards deployed around the huge racecourse, but these were also not the ones to talk to.  Opening the sealed brown paper bag, Logan took out a thin stack of documents. It turned out to be a detailed analysis report from the German-American Joint Staff on the Western Pacific naval battle that ended a few days ago. Text, data,  The icons and photos can be said to be ¡°pictures and truth¡±.  In that decisive sea battle, except for the previous two battleships lost by Italy in the Battle of Manila, no battleships on either side were sunk or seriously damaged. Even the cruisers and destroyers were sunk.  On the contrary, it is an aircraft carrier that has only been transformed from a "auxiliary role" in recent years.  According to the unilateral estimate of the German-American Joint Staff, the Japanese Combined Fleet lost five aircraft carriers, and at least three other ships were severely damaged. It also lost all carrier-based aircraft and more than two-thirds of the carrier-based aircraft.  The U.S. Pacific Fleet only lost two old aircraft carriers and less than a hundred carrier-based aircraft. This battle seemed to be a fluke, but it was always under the planning of U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander Nimitz and his team of staff.  Even if Japan's true losses are lower than this estimate, the Combined Fleet has already lost most of its aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft in the two Marianas Battles and the Battle of the Western Pacific, and it is also difficult to obtain them in a short period of time.  Complemented by experienced pilots.  Different from the US military and the current pilot rotation system in Germany, the Japanese aviation force follows the traditional "scrutiny policy". Although this can create a number of shining "combat aces",But once a large number of casualties occur, it will be difficult to replenish the reserve force in the short term.
