The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1183

However, the Russian bear is too big, and it is easy to get out of control if you support a puppet regime.

Therefore, for Mainz, Heinrich’s suggestion is not without merit.

“This time, the Empire will only take the area west of Moscow. The land here is the most fertile and the latitude is slightly lower. The conditions in the country of the bear are relatively good!”

Mainz revealed some information to Heinrich that he did not know yet.

“Denikin’s puppet regime will develop in the Ural Industrial Zone, that is, the Kazan area. The industrial base there was originally weak, but because of the war, the Russian Bear began to plan to move factories there a few years ago!”

“Although this work has not been completely completed, many factories have moved there in the past few years, and these factories that have moved there are very important to the puppet regime and to us!”

According to the principle of echelon configuration, the area taken over by the empire is the part close to Europe.

This area is closest to the empire and is the easiest to manage.

Moreover, the latitude of the bear is too high, and the climate in places with high latitudes is cold, which is not suitable for human habitation and survival.

So, to be honest, he is really not interested in those places near the Arctic Ocean.

At most, he will occupy them for the sake of enclosure, but he will not send too much manpower and material resources there to manage and rule.

The latitude of this part of the area close to Europe is much lower, and the temperature is more suitable.

Compared with the cold zones along the Arctic Ocean, the climate in these areas is closer to that of Europe. Of course, it is still much colder than Europe.

At present, the empire’s top priority is to control this land in Eastern Europe, especially The East European Great Plains are an area of several million square kilometers.

If this place is controlled by the Empire, it will not only greatly expand the territory of the Empire, but also solve the food supply problem caused by the rapid population growth of the Empire.

In the future, the Russian Bear can feed 200 to 300 million people with the large granary in Eastern Europe.

The empire currently has a population of more than 80 million. According to the Russian Bear’s standards, the food in the large granary in Eastern Europe is enough for several empires to eat!

And from another perspective, the population density in Eastern Europe is not high, and the Empire will relocate some of the Russian Bears here, leaving only about 10 to 15 million Russian Bears, and the vacant land will naturally be left for German and Italian immigrants. Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. If the population of the Aryans cannot be increased, the Empire’s rule over Europe and even the entire world will be in jeopardy.

The rule will be difficult to stabilize.

And if you want to increase the population size, encouraging childbirth is one aspect, and providing the people of the country with a favorable living, working and living environment, solving their worries, so that the population can be increased as quickly as possible.

The empire currently occupies a large amount of land, so there is plenty of living space. Just on the East European Plain, it should be no problem to immigrate 30 to 40 million people.

If the empire had a population of 30 to 40 million on the East European Plain, it would be able to achieve absolute control over this place!

As long as the empire’s war machine does not degenerate or decay, it will be difficult for foreign forces to drive them out!

As for the area east of the East European Plain, it is divided into two parts, one is controlled by puppet regimes such as Denikin, with the Ural Industrial Zone as the core.

The population of this part There may be more than 100 million people, and most of the bears will live here.

Because of the foundation of the Ural Industrial Zone, plus the large amount of land in the east, the area around the Caspian Sea also has great development potential.

So as long as they work harder, they will definitely be able to live and not starve.

But the quality of life is probably not very high, and the number of people who can live a good life should be relatively limited.

At least compared with the living standards in the areas controlled by the Third Reich in the west, it is much worse here.

Therefore, the bears here will naturally immigrate to the West, and the Empire only needs to set up a relatively high immigration threshold to block those poor people with no money and no background, and introduce talents with a lot of wealth or higher education, so as to achieve the purpose of sucking blood from the bears!

The comparison of the difference in living standards on both sides will continue to put tremendous pressure on the puppet regime of the bears, forcing them to rely on the protection of the Third Reich, otherwise they are very likely to be overthrown.

The Empire will station troops on the side of the puppet regime of the bears and take over the command of their army. As for military expenditures, they will be borne by the puppet regime.

This model is similar to the model used by the Eagle Sauce against Goryeo in later generations. Both are garrisons plus political control. This method is very low-cost but extremely effective. It can control a country at the lowest cost!

As for the rest of the east of the puppet regime, it is probably the activity area of the remnants of the red bear.

The imperial army, including the army of the puppet regime, will fight with the remnants of the Soviet army here, and the war will inevitably affect the lives and production of the residents here, and then cause the living standards here to drop to the lowest.

If the life and production here are destroyed, the population here will definitely flee in large numbers, and industry and agriculture will collapse.

Once all of these collapse, it will be very difficult for the remaining Soviet army to survive, let alone confront the empire.

Therefore, it is expected that it will not take long for the empire to quell the resistance in the east and clear the entire territory of the bear without spending too much.

However, in this case, the puppet regime in Denikin’s hands controls too many areas and populations.

With a large population and a large area, it is easy for them to have some different ideas in their minds.

Denikin’s words are easy to say, because he is old and no longer ambitious, so he dare not rebel and will only serve the empire as a dog.

However, when Denikin steps down and is replaced by a new puppet, they may get carried away and do something thoughtless in order to cater to public opinion.

In order to prevent this situation from happening, the empire must prepare for a rainy day and find ways to weaken their power before establishing a puppet regime.

“Divide and rule, this idea is good, but leaving Moscow to them is definitely not okay!”

Heinrich’s strategy is actually very simple, divide the remaining part of the bear into two, and then support several people from different factions to come to power.

In this way, the bear will be more divided after the defeat, and its power will be more dispersed. Moreover, the two of them will compete with each other and be hostile to each other, making it difficult for them to unite and face the outside world together.

In this case, the empire does not have to worry about being betrayed.

This method was also used by the Eagle Sauce people in later generations.
