The Third Reich in Desperation

No wonder they have nothing to fear.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Ludendorff, who has been getting closer and closer to the Junker nobles recently, must have played a lot in this matter.

As for the evidence, it is estimated that Ludendorff sent people to destroy it without a trace.

A leading nobleman glanced at his watch calmly, and said to Albert in a light tone: "Let's leave this matter as it is, my esteemed President. If there is evidence that we were involved in this incident, you Feel free to send someone to arrest us at any time. But next, we have scheduled a meeting with the representatives of the MPs. We are punctual people and do not want to be late."

Brazenly colluding with MPs!Zhang Chengtian suddenly felt a wave of admiration for the shamelessness of these Junker nobles.My cultivation is not enough...

"Compared to being punctual, perhaps you should learn how to keep a person's most basic bottom line." Sickert, who has always been upright, stood up and said something fair as expected.

Albert was very satisfied with this, and calling Sickert was indeed a good choice.

However, the nobles were obviously not ashamed of Sickert's sarcasm.The leading nobleman replied indifferently: "General Sickert, I forgot to remind you about something. The Imperial Parliament may soon raise a case of no confidence in you, the commander-in-chief of the army. I suggest you take it easy No business, go back and get ready."

After saying this, a group of nobles didn't even say hello to the president, and turned around and left casually as if they were in their own home.

The stooped old nobleman who left last, before leaving, specially "thank you" to Sickert: "General, thank you for giving us a good topic for our next meeting with the congressmen."

The door of the president's office was closed by the nobles immediately with a "bang".

Albert, who was always gentle, suddenly became angry and slammed the table: "Unscrupulous!"

In the president's office, there was a dead silence...

Afterwards, Albert, who was silent for a long time, suddenly asked Zhang Chengtian who had been silent all this time: "How is the situation on the Ruhr frontline now?"

Zhang Chengtian, who was still in the recovery period, was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "This morning, the French armored forces once again launched an attack on the first high ground of the SS. Although the SS repelled the enemy, they also The losses were heavy. If the French continued to attack, the SS soldiers on the high ground would never survive today."

Albert quietly listened to Zhang Chengtian's report.In an instant, the wrinkles on the face of the always youthful president gradually became prominent.The whole person seems to be ten years old in an instant...

When Zhang Chengtian saw this, he immediately comforted him: "Your Excellency, this is only the most advanced position of the SS. The number of people on the position is no more than 5. According to Steve's report from the front line, there are a total of 3 such high ground positions. What's more , 2 reinforcements from the SS are arriving one after another."

Albert, who was shocked, stared straight at Zhang Chengtian and asked, "You mean, it was only a small part of the frontline troops that defeated the Belgian army and blocked the French armored forces for two days?! And now there are more The SS is moving to the front!"

Zhang Chengtian replied confidently: "That's right, my Excellency the President."

Albert rubbed his hands, and said to himself, "Enough, enough. As long as Britain and the United States intervene, these French people must go back."

"There are also Belgians." Zhang Chengtian added playfully.

Sickert saw that the president was a little relieved, and smiled: "Your Excellency's speculation is exactly the same as that of the little colonel Reinhardt. As early as last night, my student analyzed that the United Kingdom, which pays attention to the balance of power in Europe, It will definitely come forward, and the United States, which has the same thoughts, will not ignore it."

Unlike Sickert who had a long talk with Zhang Chengtian all night, Albert had already made his own judgment.

Hearing that someone agreed with him, Albert said as if agreeing with himself: "His analysis is correct. The United Kingdom has always regarded maintaining the balance of power in continental Europe as its established national policy. For 300 years, they have always stood on the weak side. .”

After a pause, Albert concluded, "If France succeeds in defeating Germany, no one in continental Europe will be able to contend with it, and Britain's comparative advantage will also be weakened. All this is obviously not what the British want to see." Arrived."

Staring at the immediate direction of the Junker nobleman, Albert said slowly: "It's not that I, Albert, is ignorant of current affairs, it's that you have gone too far. Next, let's compare who has the better means. clever?"

Since then, German President Ebert, who has always kept a distance from all parties, has formed a close alliance with Army Commander-in-Chief Sickert.

On January 1923, 1, at the signal of the President, the German Foreign Office urgently sent a signal for help to the United Kingdom and the United States...

Text Chapter 26 Two Kingdoms

In London, one car after another shuttles through the city.If you want to judge the cities with the most cars in Europe in the early 20th century.No matter how patriotic people are, they can only bow their heads and admit that the number of car ownership in London, England is indeed the highest.

Of course, there is an exception for people from one country. When they talk about this place, they can hold their heads high and talk freely.Yes, they are citizens of Great Britain, citizens of the Empire on which the sun never sets!

Next to the tulip flowerbed in Hyde Park, London, a couple sits on a rosewood bench in the open air and hugs each other.A young female student with beautiful blond hair was wearing a pure white shirt and a light blue dress, snuggling in the arms of a neatly dressed British officer.

Her straight blond hair, obviously freshly groomed, still smelled faintly.And this innocent dress was just ironed this morning.She just nestled quietly in the arms of her soldier boyfriend, forming a new landscape in Hyde Park.

……

At the same time, far away on an unnamed highland in the European continent.An SS soldier with handsome curly hair, wearing his black SS uniform that was neat and new three days ago, was lying in the arms of his centurion, and also in the arms of his brother.

His usually handsome curly hair has been greasy and clumped due to the high-intensity combat for several days.And the enviable, majestic and beautiful SS uniform has long been messed up by scattered dust and soaked sweat.He just lay quietly in the arms of his boss' brother, becoming a part of the countless depressive scenes at the front of Ruhr.

……

"Honey, today is Monday. Instead of staying in the army, you are wasting time with me in Hyde Park. Aren't you afraid of being punished by your superiors?" the young woman put her arms around the British officer's waist and murmured softly.

Although there is no war, the country is peaceful.But British soldiers are still required to stay in the army on weekdays.Accompanying his girlfriend to go to the park on weekdays like the young military officer in front of him is theoretically a violation of discipline.

Looking at the girlfriend in his arms, how can he let him go?The young officer fiddled with his girlfriend's blond hair, and said softly, "Don't worry, baby. Even our general may not be in the office right now, so why would someone punish me? Besides, with you by my side Every minute and every second of my life is precious to me, how can I waste it?"

Looking at his girlfriend's slightly swollen belly, the young officer laughed loudly.

……

"Brother, it's a war right now. You don't go back to the trenches where you are responsible. Instead, you waste time with my wounded brother. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the commander of the thousand?" The young SS soldier, struggling Looking up at his brother, he said weakly.

Although the French offensive had just been repulsed, it was almost impossible to attack again for the time being.However, the strict discipline of the SS has required that the personnel of the SS must not leave their posts without authorization at any time.Like this elder brother who is the centurion, staying with a wounded person for a long time and not returning to his post is theoretically a violation of discipline.

Looking at the younger brother in his arms, where is the sunshine and vitality of the past?The centurion, who was only 25 years old, tapped his brother's forehead with his index finger like he did when he was a child.He said softly: "Don't worry, brother. Our commander-in-chief has already been carried away on a stretcher. Who can have the energy to take care of me, a little commander-in-chief? Besides, I went to college before , I have been separated from you for 4 years. Now I make up for it and spend more time with my brother, how can it be a waste of time?"

Looking at the wound on his brother's right abdomen that was deeply pierced by shrapnel, the young brother cried, very loudly.

……

"Lieutenant, I finally found you. Our company has all arrived, and everyone has been waiting for you to go back to be a training guide." A soldier in a khaki military uniform with a gas mask bag and helmet slung across his back interrupted the conversation in Hyde Park. Intimate encounter of the couple.It can be seen from the inscription on his shoulder that this is a senior soldier who has been in the army for some years.

It is obviously annoyed to be interrupted on a date, the young officer waved his hand impatiently. "You can handle this kind of thing by yourself, just practice according to the training standards of the military department. Anyway, no country has the ability to threaten us, and step by step is our best performance."

The attitude of young officers is not an isolated phenomenon in the British Army today.

For hundreds of years, British warships have spread almost all over the human world.Intervene in every region, support the pro-British regime, occupy regional resources, and control the regional situation.

It is conceivable that when the soldiers of this country are used to seeing that the place where the Royal Navy appears is the sphere of influence of the United Kingdom; when they are used to seeing countless desperate troops being smashed to pieces in front of the British army, how proud and proud they will be. arrogant.

The empire on which the sun never sets is not a slogan, but a fact that has lasted for hundreds of years!

Since defeating the Spanish Armada in 1588, Britain has stepped into the ranks of maritime hegemony and has continuously expanded its overseas colonies.Afterwards, Britain successively defeated the Netherlands and France in the Anglo-Dutch War and the Seven Years' War, captured countless colonies of the two countries, and established maritime hegemony.In the end, Britain's victory in the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 further consolidated its position as the world's hegemon.The Industrial Revolution made Britain an undisputed economic power.

Although in the First World War, the Allied Powers in which Britain belonged suffered heavy losses.However, it was France, Tsarist Russia, Belgium and the Netherlands that suffered the most.Not England!

What is the balance of power in continental Europe that Britain is pursuing?Continental balance of power means that once the flames of war on the European continent are ignited, they cannot be easily extinguished.It is best to let all the countries on the European continent be smashed to death, and all allied and enemy troops should be wiped out. The United Kingdom only needs to make the final decision.

British soldiers have always had this confidence.

They believe that with the economy, military, and population of the Commonwealth, as long as they are fully mobilized, even France, which is now known as the number one army in Europe, is far from being an opponent.

What's more, France is still fighting against Germany.Regardless of who they lose or who wins, the final winner must be Britain, which is waiting for work.

This is not a sign of ignorance or childishness.But a collection of inertia and illusion!
