Chapter 1170 Project Fort Gauchi - Pan-Aryan

On January 10, just when the first phase of the "Fort Gottsch Plan" - the luring and deception phase - had actually been successful, the German Imperial Marshal Hersmann, who presided over the implementation of the plan, was rushing to western Germany. On the way to Heinsberg (Hains Castle) near Heinsberg County in the Netherlands.

Heinsberg, or Heinsberg (one meaning in German) is the source of Chloe's surname. This generation has been the fiefdom of the ancestors of the Chloe family since a long time ago, around the time of Rudolf I of the Habsburg Dynasty (the founding king of the Habsburg Dynasty). Therefore, the surname was named after the place, resulting in the ancient surname Heinsberg. From that time on, the Heinsberg family was the monarch here, and it was not until the establishment of the Vienna System after the Napoleonic Wars that it became the domain of the King of Prussia. However, the title of Count Heinsberg (now elevated to Marquis) is still retained, and the head of the Heinsberg family is still regarded as the titular lord of this place.

The wedding of the patriarch or heir of an earl (marquis) family must by convention be held at Haines Castle. However, due to the Allied occupation, the wedding of Hessmann and Chloe was moved to Roermond in the neighboring Netherlands.

The first wedding of Hessmann's heir to the title Rudolf and Grand Duchess Elena Yusupova (Empress Olga canonized her as Grand Duchess of the Russian Empire, equivalent to a German princess) will be held in Hein as usual. Held at the castle. Then, the couple had to go to the Yusupov Palace in Petrograd for a second wedding. Because Rudolf became the heir of the Yusupov family after marrying Irina, his official surname will also become Yusupov-Heinsberg-Hersman... and he will eventually own Heissmann. Margrave of Innsberg, Duke of Rastenberg, Prince of the German Empire and Prince Yusupov. He was so distinguished that he was almost the most powerful noble in Europe, second only to the king.

In addition, the Yusupov family is still extremely wealthy, with properties spread across Russia, including coal mines, iron mines, oil fields (part of the Baku oil field belongs to their family), factories and 44 various palaces and mansions, as well as Lots of land. Most of these properties have now been returned (only the land allocated to farmers has not been returned), although they have become non-performing assets. But with the backing of Baku's oil, it is only a matter of time before assets can be revitalized. And the heir to all this will also be Hessmann’s eldest son Rudolf!

On the afternoon of January 10, 1945, Rudolf had not yet married Russia's number one "white rich beauty". He, his father Hersman and his younger brother Reinhardt were blocked by a snowstorm on the way from Cologne to Haines Castle. .

The father and son were sitting in a large Mercedes-Benz 770K sedan, and there were three Steyr command cars in front and behind. In the car were Hessman's personal secretary Natalie, several adjutants, and bodyguards.

An adjutant of Hessmann ran from the front of the road blocked by wind and snow to Hessman's car, and reported through the glass window: "Marshal of the Empire, a big tree fell in front and blocked a driveway, plus the snow and wind Due to the weather, the traffic speed is a bit slow.”

Hessman rolled down the window and stretched his head to look at the road. He saw a long queue of vehicles on one lane, most of them cars, and not many horse-drawn carriages. Such scenes were rare during the wars of the past few years, because since 1939, oil supply has been very tight, and civilian transportation can only rely on livestock unless necessary.

However, this situation began to change significantly by the end of 1944. Due to the signing of the Soviet-Russian Peace Agreement, the Caucasus oil production areas and the Second Baku Oil Field fell into the hands of the Belarusian regime intact. Starting from the fourth quarter of 1944, the Russian Empire changed from an oil importing country to an exporting country, with monthly output exceeding 1.5 million tons!

In addition, the production of oil fields in the Middle East also reached its peak in the second half of 1944. The large-scale investment that began in the second half of 1942 can now finally play its full role.

The production of oil in the Middle East reached an unprecedented 4 million tons per month in December 1944, which translates into an annual output of nearly 50 million tons!

Middle Eastern oil plus Russian oil plus small oil fields in Romania, Poland, Little Russia (Ukraine) and elsewhere in Europe, as well as the production of synthetic gasoline, it is expected that the total production of oil (including synthetic gasoline) that the European Community could have in 1945 would be will exceed 100 million tons.

Moreover, since the Roman Empire and the United States negotiated a peace, the European Community no longer has to bear the burden of Rome's oil consumption, so all more than 100 million tons of oil are at the free disposal of the European Community.

Although this figure cannot be compared with the 260 million tons of oil at the disposal of the United States, it still allowed private oil consumption in the European Community (excluding Russia) to return to the level before the outbreak of the war by the end of 1944. This not only means that a large number of cars can be seen on the road, but also means that Europe's civilian industrial production has also fully recovered, followed by an improvement in the supply of consumer goods and a general improvement in people's living standards.

Although Britain and Russia have not yet escaped the Great Depression caused by the war, in the Rhineland, the core region of Western Europe, looking at the number of cars on the road, you can tell that the economy is in a state of prosperity.

In Hersman's view, this prosperity is just the beginning! Because the Rhine region is the most suitable region in Europe for industrialization, and it has the first-mover advantage. In the future, it will definitely become the industrial center of the integrated European United States!

Hersman retracted his head from the warm car, rolled up the window, and said to his two sons with a smile: "Once the economy begins to prosper, traffic jams will follow. It seems that the European Community will soon usher in a climax of large-scale infrastructure construction."

Hersman's second son, Reinhardt, who is almost exactly the same as Hersman when he was young, turned around from the passenger seat, smiled at his father and said: "Dad, today is a special situation. There is not much traffic jam at ordinary times. And the current economy is not prosperous, but many Russians have come, they..."

When mentioning Russians, Reinhardt's face showed a faint expression of disgust. His elder brother, Rudolf, who was about to become a half-Russian winner in life, immediately interrupted his younger brother: "Reinhard, Russians are Aryans like us. Although their blood is not pure, they are still our relatives."

It was the view of German Emperor Wilhelm III to classify Russians as Aryans - his son would be the Tsar in the future, so Russians must belong to the Aryan race! At the same time, this view was also supported by the Wehrmacht and the Fatherland Party. Although Hitler disagreed with the racial view of classifying Russians as Aryans in his heart, he was not the head of state who could speak his mind, but "the greatest chancellor in German history" and could not beat the emperor and the military.

And the benefits of classifying Slavs as Aryans were also obvious. There was no distinction between Germans, Poles, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Bohemians, etc. in the German Empire, and they were all Aryans on their ID cards. Coupled with the promotion of German as the first official language and the appearance of Poles, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Bohemians, etc. (many blonde and blue-eyed), it will take less than two generations for all of them to become Aryanized. This is a shortcut to expanding the German base!

In addition, this division is actually in line with later genetic testing. The paternal gene group of Russians is R1a, which is the so-called Altai/Indo-European Eastern Branch gene. The paternal gene group that is more common in Western Europe is mainly R1b, which is the Western European/Indo-European Western Branch gene. Therefore, it is unscientific to equate Aryans (Indo-European race) with Slavs. In fact, the Germanic and Slavic language families are branches of the Aryans. In terms of blood purity, the Slavs are undoubtedly more "Aryan" than the Germans.

The Slavs are listed as two major branches of Aryans along with the Germans and Celts (Gauls), and the promotion of Pan-Aryanism (replacing the original Germanic and Slavic national identities with Aryan national identity) is now becoming an important policy of the European Community.

However, such a policy will inevitably encounter different opinions during its implementation. For example, in Germany, young people like Reinhardt, who were deeply influenced by the Nazi YS education, do not identify with the Slavs. Moreover, most of the Russians who have come to Germany are poor and rustic, and they do dirty and tiring work. Most of them have the bad habit of alcoholism and do not believe in God, so many Germans look down on them.

"Reinhard," Hessman said to his second son as the car started to move forward, "From now on you must like Russians... not only because of Elena, but also because you will serve in the Russian Expeditionary Corps."

"Father," Reinhard seemed disappointed with this arrangement, "I hope to serve in the 3rd Armored Division, where I am an intern, and I have submitted an application."

"Your application will not be approved," Hessman waved his hand, "You will join the Russian Corps, and you will also receive the title and rank of the Russian Army granted by the Empress." He looked at his son, "This is not my decision, but Olga's request... because the former Soviet officers who defected to her all valued special backgrounds. People with backgrounds are more respected and easier to get things done. Therefore, German officers with Russian aristocratic ancestry will be sent to serve in the Russian Corps, and you will speak fluent Russian."
