Xu Yang's bed was arranged next to the window of the carriage. He was arranged in the same carriage as the lieutenant of the armored division. Compared with ordinary soldiers who would sway when they sleep, it was a gift for them to sleep in a small wooden bed.

At this time, Xu Yang was watching with a newspaper intently. The headline of the newspaper was Hitler's speech. It was a wonderful peace song, just like a train making a "boom" sound, full of weapons, and soldiers heading for a journey to find honor; so intoxicating.

After reading it, Xu Yang picked up a newspaper again. The newspaper was in French, with a photo on it, a photo of the military parade of the Third Republic. The head of the Third Republic was so tall that it seemed to be able to stand tall. The soldiers in cavalry uniforms held their heads high, protected the sabers in their hands on their chests, and tightly clamped their legs against their horse's belly.

"Hey! What does the pretty good Gallic chicken noodles say?"

Xu Yang is still watching.

The speaker is Rick; Rick, who loves to talk, Rick, who is very popular, Rick, Xu Yang's assistant. He didn't know that Xu Yang knew French, in his impression; Stark's hobby was to write theory and say some strange words, which was very popular among the top leaders of the Command and the National Socialist Party. The only bad thing is that he doesn't like to joke, and the typical arrogant Junker nobles.

"The Declaration of the Third Republic..." Xu Yang's eyes did not leave the newspaper, "They used military parade to tell the world; France loves peace, but they are strong. Just like us, we are about to tell people with actions that we love peace, and rifles and artillery fired cotton, not murderous shells."

Rick looked outside with a dry smile. In fact, he didn't know where it was outside the car, he only knew to say, "Peace?" Peace does not belong to Germany.

"Can you help me take off my backpack?" Xu Yang suddenly missed his partners on the Polish border.

Rick did not hand the backpack to Xu Yang but took it in his hand to untie it, asking, "Literature, what do you want to take? God...cigar! Mexican cigar! Classes do have its privileges. Don't you smoke?" Without the consent of his master, he took out a box of cigars and threw them to other lieutenants one by one.

Xu Yang frowned and said, "Rick, your American habits are very bad. Americans always share other people's belongings without their owner's permission. Now, give me the letter box inside."

Rick didn't care. He smiled "hehe" with a very enjoyable expression and opened the cigarette holder of the cigar and lit it. After the war, he was idle by the National Defense Forces because he could not explain how he fled back from the Far East. He went to the United States to work secretly for four years. Later, he returned to Germany according to the "Germany Call" and was re-enlisted.

The stereotyped German military tradition made Rick not destined to receive too much attention. He was like a stone being kicked around. Two years ago, no one knew why Xu Yang chose him, but only said that the careless Rick did a good job under Stark.

What did Xu Yang like about him? Maybe even Xu Yang himself didn't know. Rick is not a good combat leader, but he is a good intelligence analysis player. Under his sloppy appearance, he is a heart that beating the passion of a soldier, and under the expression of a slutty smile, he is a tight mind.

"A person who can escape from the far east to Spain and then use various means to escape the country will definitely not be an idiot. Maybe I will use him one day." Xu Yang's idea was so simple.

...

November 11, 191, was the most memorable day recognized by the Allies. In the Compiègne Forest in France, German commander Ezberg signed the armistice agreement. The four-year World War I ended.

This is the moment that the French nation has been looking forward to for a long time.

In the 100 years since the collapse of the Napoleonic Empire, France and Germany have experienced countless battles, but France is at a disadvantage for a long time. Today, its "old enemy" has finally been defeated. The French not only received huge compensation from the Germans, but also recovered their own land. How can this not be exciting?

France's victory in World War I was attributed to some extent to excellent espionage work. During the war, the French Second Bureau organized an intelligence network from the Rhine River to the heart of Russia, which played a great role in collecting enemy intelligence and invading the enemy's internal sabotage activities. At that time, the Second Bureau almost became synonymous with "French spy" and showed its skills on the world intelligence stage.

Although France was among the victorious countries in World War I, it also suffered huge losses. 1.3 million people died in the war, and the national economy was on the verge of collapse due to years of war. Perhaps it was because the people were eager for a peaceful and stable life, which led to the relaxation of vigilance against their old enemy Germany and the rise of pacifist thoughts.

Under this situation, the tense nerves of the French intelligence agencies also relaxed. At this time, newspapers, dramas, and movies depicting spies in World War I emerged one after another, and some agents from the Second Bureau who were very fond of merit also made a statement. However, behind these phenomena were extremely dangerous reefs. Some French agents and state secrets were revealed, causing a group of intelligence personnel who had been lurking abroad for a long time to flee back to the country, which seriously affected France's foreign reconnaissance capabilities, especially the German spy reconnaissance activities were severely damaged.

When history entered the 1920s and 1930s, when intelligence and counter-espionage work in countries around the world developed rapidly, the French intelligence agencies failed to develop themselves in accordance with the trend of the times. The French Second Bureau, which once dominated the country, became a third-rate role.

The smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, is the world really peaceful?

Marshal Foch of France once pointed to the Treaty of Versailles and said: This is not peace, this is just a 20-year truce. In fact, peace years are just a truce...

After World War I, Germany was not willing to watch the victorious countries re-dividing their respective spheres of influence in the Peace Conference of Paris. Its hands waiting for revenge were humiliated to sign the Peace Agreement in Versailles, and the harshness of the treaty made Germany ready to ignite the war again.

In 1932, after Hitler became the head of the empire, with the support and condolence of Junker, the chaebol and the military, he stepped up his pace of expanding the army and preparing for war.

During his first few years of his reign, Hitler deceived the people internally with slogans such as "smashing the chains of the Treaty of Versailles, restoring the honor and freedom of the German people", "defending Germany's borders" and "maintaining peace" to deceive the people, inciting the masses to hate the Treaty of Versailles, and serving their aggression and expansion. He delivered a peace speech to the outside world, claiming that Germany would not have war, and all he wanted was a peaceful understanding of the basis of justice for everyone, so as to paralyze France, Britain and the United States, so as to catch it off guard when they were not prepared.

Hitler's peace propaganda really had an effect. Some prominent figures in the French political circle were also singing praises for Hitler. They believed that this speech was a sincere and thoughtful statement. They declared frankly: There is no war on the Western Front!

Things will really be as they thought? No, it must not be as beautiful as they imagined!

...

The army full of tanks and infantry stopped at the military railway station outside the Ruhr Industrial Zone. This was a secret railway station built secretly, with very simple facilities. There were neither civilian workers inside. Soldiers in national defense army uniforms cleared the debris next to the tracks and drove special track unloading machinery. Just waited for a command to unload the train leather Type 1 tanks and Type 2 tanks. These tanks will be placed in camouflaged industrial bases in Ruhr.

Those tracked light armored vehicles, military trucks and motorcycles will be parked directly in the open space next to the train station, waiting for the soldiers of the 7th Division to get off the train, they will board the car and set out to hide in the Kassel Forest, which is the east bank of the Rhine.

Now, Loeb can let the soldiers know the purpose of coming here. Instead of letting the soldiers line up and wait for the declaration, he directly used the radio from the railway station to say a brief sentence: "It is time for us to use our lives and weapons to protect the rights of our German compatriots! Brave soldiers, raise your heads and set out proudly towards our Rhine!"

Our Rhine...
