Chapter 18 A Weird Beginning
Under Hitler's call for "Germany Austria must return to the great Germanic motherland", a workers' uprising broke out in Vienna, the capital of Austria, and Taurfes harshly suppressed the uprising, which made Taurfes even more unpopular with the people..com The vast majority of Austrian residents spoke German. Therefore, Hitler wanted to take the opportunity to launch a coup to overthrow the Taurfes government and annex Austria. Austrian national socialist party members assassinated Taurfes, but the coup failed and the Austrian army re-controlled the order. Because Mussolini opposed the coup and deployed troops in the Brenna Pass of the Alps on the border between Italy and Austria, Hitler had to temporarily give up the invasion of Austria.
Just today, the Third Armored Division also welcomed the first batch of lower-level troops, non-commissioned officers, and these young army, non-commissioned officers, all graduated from the Young Miao Military Academy and were assigned to serve in the Third Armored Division. Under the gaze of the conservatives, they carried out new training in a hurry.
Rommel was applied to transfer the Third Armored Division to serve as the commander of the First Armored Regiment. He lived up to Xu Yang's expectations and soon entered the role. Rommel and Guderian have one thing in common, that is, they deeply understand the importance of the mobility of the armored forces. He repeatedly emphasized that time is the foundation of victory. Many times, he does not value the protective armor of the tank, but the maneuverability of the tank.
This school official who had been suppressed for too long was very approachable and liked to get along with the soldiers at the bottom. He did not have the pride of Junker at all, and was deeply loved by the soldiers. Now, he will receive the first batch of supplies, which were a battalion of 97 i-type tanks and 135-2 armored combat vehicles.
Hitler repeatedly emphasized that the troops of the Third Armored Division were drawn from the SS. This year, the Third Reich of Germany just implemented the conscript system. The government departments established a semi-military department called the "National Labor Dedication Corps". It stipulated that ordinary young people had a duty to join the army for one year before they were educated and entered the society. In fact, they were given military management. At the same time, they attached great importance to physical training. They could almost say that they used shovels to replace rifles for recruit training. The young people had such experience and would soon be able to enter the situation even if they suddenly recruited the army.
Another measure is to open a large number of state-run military academies in various regions to educate young people on survival skills in the wild and conduct military training.
With two organizations, German youth can also say that they have actually completed basic training for recruits when they officially enlisted, allowing new military training units to teach higher military training in a short time after recruits enlisted.
After the implementation of the conscription system was initiated, it was stipulated that men over 20 must undergo conscription physical examinations that fall, and as long as those without major physical and mental disabilities were not severe, they immediately joined the army to serve in the military. In order to achieve the goal of cultivating a large number of reserves, that is, reserve soldiers in a short period of time, the military announced that the service period was one year at the beginning, but it was immediately extended to two years. The main reason was that the training time for the recruits was six months at that time. If there were only one year of military service, active-duty soldiers who had not been trained for half a year from November of the following year would serve in the army.
After the service is over, it will be included in the reserve service. By the age of 45, if the country has recruited, it will be obliged to join the camp again. Even if the state issues a convening order, if the regular troops are not short of a shortage of regular troops, it will be incorporated into the local defense team. In East Prussia, where friction is severe, there is also a local commando composed of retired soldiers aged 45 to 55, which is used to prevent a sudden attack from Poland.
At present, the Third Reich of Germany is still facing an embarrassing problem. The International Olympic Committee Athens Conference decided to restore the old system of the ancient Olympic Games. During the Games, from the opening date to the closing ceremony, the Olympic flame will be burned in the main field. It is enough to know that the World Games will not be held in Berlin in 36 years. Germany, which has invested all resources into military construction, has not yet built a venue for even a sports game.
Germany is currently eager to have a peaceful act. With the approval of the parliament, a huge peace propaganda offensive began. The government spent a huge amount of money to design sports venues, intending to build a large sports field with granite, marble, etc., a swimming pool with 20,000 seats, a gymnastics hall, basketball court, etc., and plans to build an Olympic village that is more luxurious than the Los Angeles Olympics.
All this is imperative. Germany currently gives people a dangerous atmosphere of awakening from beasts. She urgently hopes that this sports meet will change the international community's view of Germany.
...
A bigger conspiracy is brewing, and the butler of the Stark family reported; Hines, who fled to Poland, secretly sneaked back to the country and is currently in Munich to contact his former cliques.
"What does he want to do?" Xu Yang looked confused.
Hines, once a confidant of the leader of the stormtrooper Rom, escaped the disaster in the planned purge of the holy land Visi, and then fled to Warsaw, Poland to live in seclusion. Various information shows that Hines had been in contact with some people in the country after fleeing to Warsaw. He was discovered by the Gestapo and sent personnel to Warsaw, Poland. After the tracking personnel mysteriously disappeared, Hines also lost information. Now he has appeared again three years after he disappeared. What do he want to do?
Xu Yang didn't know if he should report this information to the First Office of the Empire Intelligence Department. Judging from the current situation, Hines was already a traitor, and the intelligence showed that he was in a certain transaction with the Polish government.
Xu Yang has a very keen sense of politics. He associates some recent actions of the Junker class and the National Defense Forces and draws a conclusion that Germany must have experienced some great turmoil. The plan that had been in progress for seven years was launched again. In the end, he decided not to share this intelligence with the Intelligence Department. If the Gestapo finds out that Hines returns to China and makes moves, it will lead too many people, which may lead to a complete break between the National Defense Forces and the National Socialist Party, and then a civil war is inevitable!
Xu Yang fell into deep thought. He knew better than anyone else what Hal was doing. This head of the family, who was weak on the surface and strong on the inside, tied himself to a train that could fall off the cliff at any time. He was gambling, and gambling was the future of Germany.
Xu Yang didn't want to know what the National Defense Forces and Junckers wanted to do. He had to do too much now. The SS soldiers were better than the SS. They were completely loyal to the German country, not the National War Party. It was puzzling that Xu Yang's partners were all transferred to the Third Armored Division and assigned to various important positions.
The National Defense Forces were trying hard to accumulate strength as if they were worried about something, and an armored armed force that was absolutely loyal to the country was taking shape!
Recently, Hitler has been planning some plans. Since Manstein was summoned to the General Staff, he has never returned to the garrison of the Third Armored Division. The Third Armored Division seems to have become Xu Yang's Third Armored Division. All the construction was handled by him personally. With the intentional assistance of the commander, the resources of the material resources were continuously transported from all over the country to Berlin and then distributed. In less than half a year, the Third Armored Division will form combat power.
‘Dingding Ding…’
The sudden ringing of the phone pulled Xu Yang from his thoughts, and he answered the phone...
"My Excellency Kahn von Stark?"
"Hello! I'm."
"I am Helena, the head of state wants to see you."
"What's going on?"
"Our subversion in Austria has failed. The Head of State wants to hear your opinion. Please come to the Prime Minister's Office."
