"Before explaining the theory of living space, I want to ask you, is the larger the space the better?" Hoffman turned to Spel who asked the question.

The latter shook his head hesitantly: "Obviously not, living space beyond ability is not wealth but burden."

Hoffman nodded: "Your idea is very rational. There is a ready-made example in front of us. Japan has its territory, including Manchuria, North Korea, China's coastal areas and several islands, including the Philippines and East India, and the entire Southeast Asia of the Indochina Peninsula. Now it has taken India again. Their emperor is said to want Australia and New Zealand. The army wants Russia's Far East and Siberia. Recently, someone in Tokyo is saying that more than 1 million Germans can build the American Republic. Why can't 3 million Japanese people play the American Republic?"

Everyone laughed: I felt ridiculous for Japan's arrogance.

"Now the territory controlled by Japan has exceeded 10 million square kilometers, which is larger than the entire Europe. For Japan, which has a population of only 100 million, there is enough space for survival? Can it be defended?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"If we change with Japan, can we control such a large area?"

Everyone thought about the map and finally found that it seemed difficult to hold on. Even if they kept it temporarily, it would fall apart over time, because there were nearly 600 million other ethnic groups on this 10 million territory.

"So last year in Europe, General Hori Teiki was worried about Japan's future and future when he communicated with me. The more successful Japan was, the more arrogant the middle and lower-level officers were, the less they knew where the Japanese power was. According to his idea, it would be best to take India and then build India for land, except for all the other things..." Hoffman explained, "So after he returned to China, he used various means to promote three tasks.

First, withdraw troops from the quagmire of mainland China as soon as possible. Once India's rule is consolidated, mainland China will give up everything except for several ports;

Second, a ceasefire with the United States as soon as possible, and even a portion of Southeast Asian interests can be sold to seize the time to develop India. The Indian British have a certain foundation of industrialization and will achieve results in 15-20 years of continuous development. By then, Manchuria, North Korea, and Taiwan can make them independent, and all Southeast Asian countries will be independent;

Third, firmly oppose the entry of Australian and New Zealand troops to clean up whoever advocates!”

Only then did everyone know why the voice of "entering Australia and New Zealand" was suppressed. This is a general who even dared to replace the emperor. The senior officials have read the secret report sent by Kerr and are very familiar with the political situation in Japan.

The saying "change the local area" surprised everyone, but as long as you learn a little military knowledge, you will know that Japan's defense system, which lasts nearly 10,000 kilometers, cannot be maintained for a long time, and there will inevitably be a collapse process.

"Hoteiki sees India as the location of Japan's new hope, and it is the homeland of Japan in the future. At least the second Japan, which is different from his attitude towards other regions." Hoffman smiled. "I admire his foresight, but I don't agree with one thing. I don't agree with his view that India can be built into the same as the local area in 2015-20."

Speer asked: "You don't think it's possible to develop so quickly?"

"As long as you have the determination, it will be fine to develop into a level close to that of Japan in 15-20 years. If this sentence was in the 1900s, I think it can be basically done, but he just ignored one problem..." Hoffman emphasized, "We are standing at the starting point of a new round of technological revolution. The next 15-20 years will be the era of great explosion. Japan is unable to catch up with it. How can it still have the ability to develop India to the same level? So I think in the short term, Japan will not only not be able to accelerate India's industrialization, but also constantly suck blood from India just as they keep taking gold from India to us to buy equipment and supplies."

When they talked about this, everyone laughed, thinking that this was the most worthwhile deal made by the head of state.

"We have actually reached the threshold for the new round of scientific revolution: the emergence of jets means that the piston aircraft has come to an end; the emergence of rockets means that the super cannons and train guns have come to an end; the emergence of helicopters and rapid motorization means that the five million-level standing troops have come to an end; the research of super bombs means that the conventional wars of million-level wars will come to an end, a city as big as Stalingrad, can be swept away with 1-2 super bombs."

Except for Sperer, Himmler and Bowman, others don’t know what the “super bomb” is, but seeing Hoffman’s seriousness, they think this matter is not too outrageous.

"The problem with Japan is that the local power is too small and India is too big. It's like a 300-horsepower engine that wants to drag a tiger tank is impossible, but it's as slow as a snail. But what if we turn around and use the powerful German local area to develop small blocks?" Hoffman said self-deprecatingly, "Many people criticize me for not occupying land in Eastern Europe, but instead attacking Denmark in Nordic, believing that eating is not very elegant, but what do I do when I eat Denmark? Do they dare to make trouble with me if I keep Denmark for Denmark?"

Speer suddenly realized: "You are for Greenland and Iceland!"

"Greenland is too big and too cold. We may not see any hope of construction in our lifetime, but Iceland is different." Hoffman said with a heart-wrenching regret. "Iceland's territory is more than 100,000 square kilometers, which is larger than Ireland, but what is the population? Just 120,000! I can double the number of troops in the past, and then become a nationalist on the spot, and then give a referendum."

"Ha..." Everyone burst into laughter, and Ribbintrov took the lead in applause, applauding the scoundrel of the head of state.

"Don't Denmark wants to develop Iceland? No! Denmark is too small, has too few people, and lacks strength. It does not have this ability, but it is not a difficult task for us. With Iceland and Ireland cooperation, I will control Great Britain. The British dare to be honest and cut off their trade line is easy!"

Everyone agreed.

"Of course, Iceland is the appetizer I prepared for Germany, and I also prepared the second home in Germany."

"Second Home?" Everyone was confused in the face of the new noun that emerged from the head of state.

"The first home is Germany, and the second home is the American Republic. Otherwise, what would I do to cultivate a German country in South America? There are harbors, farms, and various minerals. The enemies in the north and south are not strong. Moreover, this is a very empty territory with a low population density. Why can't we immigrate there? I plan to export 3-5 million German population there in the short term, and then make every effort to build the industrialization system and slowly become the power projection base of the German Empire. In the future, can Americans still call the wind and rain in the Americas as before?"

When talking about this, everyone smiled. When taking action in South America, the head of state obviously took a good move. At present, the land area of ​​the American Republic is nearly 500,000 square kilometers, and most of them are land suitable for human habitation, but the population is only more than 2 million. If placed in Europe, then major countries cannot break the head? This is not the whole of the American Republic, because it currently only includes 3 state territories, and the last German-dominated state, Mato Grosso (area 350,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 1 million) will soon be powered to join the American Republic. With this calculation, the American Republic will have more than 800,000 square kilometers in the future, but the population is only 3 million.

"So, if the Italians want to belong to Brazil, I refuse without hesitation, don't even think about it! Japan has no way to belong to Brazil! This land can only be from Germany. Whoever robs me and beats me up!"

Everyone expressed their agreement with the head of the head of state when looking at the large territory on the map, thinking about the population above, and looking at the rich resources and good development space. This place must be held in their hands. With Iceland and this place, everyone has a deeper understanding of whether to expand to Eastern Europe.

"I plan to use 30-50 years to build this land into the level of a developed European country, with a population of more than 20 million, of which Germans must account for more than 80%. In order to achieve this proportion, non-German immigrants will not be allowed to be accepted in the short term. In this way, if the leaders of Europe and Germany are unworthy and lose their hegemony in the future, the German nation can rely on the Republic of America to make a comeback, build the Fourth German Empire, continue to compete with Britain, France, the United States, Italy and Russia, and regain European territory. Therefore, the Republic of America is not our colony, nor is it a German native... let's count our brother countries."

Everyone nodded understandingly. Iceland is Germany's short-term living space, and the American Republic is Germany's long-term living space. At least Germany does not need to worry about the living space until this land reaches its carrying capacity limit. As for the future, no one here can control it. Not to mention them, even their descendants should retire.

"So there will be three development plans after the armistice: one is the European revival plan; the second is the African construction plan; and the third is the German home construction plan. These three plans are closely linked and inseparable. Germany is the core of these three plans. We must be political first, military first, technology first, and economic first. As long as we can ensure that we are in the process of continuous development, Germany is a well-deserved global leader."

"First of the People's Republic of America, your vision is grand and exciting, although the empire is unlikely to fall to the point where it needs the support of the Republic of America."

Hoffman smiled slightly: "Maybe, who will say the future? I, an Austrian, became the head of Germany? Even if I really don't have it, it's good to leave a reason to write fantasy novels?... In 2200 AD, the German Empire was defeated in the new world war, European territory was divided, the people were in great difficulty, and they fled to America one after another. A hero rose up on the American continent and eventually led the German people to restore world hegemony..."

Everyone laughed, and Goebbels said that he could consider organizing the novel's essay contest after the war was over, which was called the "First of the Heads of State Cup".

While laughing, Ribintrov received a sudden message. After seeing it, his expression changed drastically and he hurriedly said, "First of the People, something happened to the Italians!"
