The Third Reich in Desperation

"Doing deals with the Soviet Union? That country is not a good place. A country that wants to export revolutions to other countries all day long. We have no time to prevent them. You actually want to make deals with them." Sickert in the office As soon as he heard that Zhang Chengtian planned to contact the Soviet Union in exchange for advanced technology from Germany to develop weapons and train soldiers on the land of the red regime, he immediately expressed his opposition.

After all, for the Soviet Union, a behemoth that inherited the huge land of Tsarist Russia.European countries have always been vigilant.In addition, the Soviet Union continued to launch wars before, trying to export revolution to the outside world.Most German generals, including Sickert, naturally put the Soviet Union on the opposite side.

In fact, Sickert's concept at the time can be said to be very correct.

For the Soviet Union, which was vigorously exporting revolution, Germany was the key, because Germany had always been regarded as the center of Europe.Officials at all levels of the Soviet Union believed: "Once Germany is won, other European countries will be unsustainable and must be conquered." Poland is the only way to Germany.In order to spark revolution in Western Europe, the Soviet leaders also sought to defeat Germany, which had been greatly weakened after World War I.They are full of reverie about the prospect.It is believed that after the victory over Poland, the weakened Germany will inevitably fail.A revolutionary victory throughout Europe is not out of the question!

As the supreme leader, Lenin even declared in public: "The revolution cannot be limited to Russia alone. Only by uniting many other countries to defeat international capital can the revolution be successfully carried out to the end and absolute victory can be achieved."

For this one is a great threat, and it can even be said that it is a close neighbor who is incompatible with Germany.Sickert couldn't figure out why Zhang Chengtian had a whim to make a deal with the Soviet Union.

Although Zhang Chengtian respected Sickert very much, Zhang Chengtian did not intend to make concessions on this matter, whether public or private.

Yu Gong said that if Germany did not secretly develop new weapons in the Soviet Union and train the air force that was banned in the Treaty of Versailles.Then it is absolutely impossible for Germany to raise its head internationally in the future!

Yu privately said, if the military industry is not developed in the Soviet Union, what will Zhang Chengtian, the boss behind the scenes of the Rhein company that vigorously acquires the major military industrial groups in Germany in the future, make money?

Zhang Chengtian, who had long regarded Sickert as a teacher of military theory, replied respectfully, "Teacher, the Soviet Union has indeed been trying to export revolution to Europe. But because of this, the relationship between European countries and the Soviet Union is very cold. It is not a party to the Treaty of Versailles. If there is a country in Europe that can bypass the Treaty of Versailles and help Germany train elite troops and develop weapons, then I think this country can only be the Soviet Union.”

Sickert, who had long regarded Zhang Chengtian as his disciple, also spoke boldly, and patiently taught Zhang Chengtian, "Reinhardt, your analysis of the situation may be reasonable. But you did not consider it from the Soviet Union's point of view! The Soviet Union did help us hide it. The capabilities of Britain and France, but they don’t need to help us! Besides, the current Soviet Union is also a big threat to us. As far as I know, once the Soviet Union ends the war against Poland. Their next target is Germany. We can’t Count on the help of a future enemy."

Sickert is indeed qualified enough to be Zhang Chengtian's teacher in the military.But when it comes to politics, Sickert will definitely not be more farsighted than Zhang Chengtian who knows the future.

Full of confidence, Zhang Chengtian supported Sickert's desk with one hand and said with a smile, "Teacher, the Soviet Union may indeed be our future friend. But the time limit for this future is at least 20 years later! If nothing else, just talk about the Soviet Union. This attack on Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is almost certain to fail. Teacher, aren’t you also very pessimistic about the Soviet Union’s attack?”

"Oh?" Seekert decided to take the opportunity to check Zhang Chengtian's current military level when he heard that his disciple was talking about the military.

Knowing that Sickert was testing him, Zhang Chengtian didn't shirk it.After combining his later generations' understanding of this period of history, Zhang Chengtian gave his own analysis: "First of all, the slow logistics transportation of the Soviet army is out of touch with the front line. The troops on the front line cannot get enough supplies, and their morale and combat effectiveness will not be strong. Polish troops in home defense."

Sickert did not interrupt Zhang Chengtian, but made a gesture to continue.

"Secondly, the Soviet commander Tukhachevski, known as the 'Red Napoleon', failed to encircle and annihilate the Polish 1st and 4th Army Groups. As a result, the two Polish Army Groups fighting on the ground were able to replenish their forces and invest in the Warsaw area. Coupled with the help of French advisers to help Poland with the newly-built 5th Army, the Polish army will be able to gather a total of more than 10 troops in the Warsaw area.” Zhang Chengtian analyzed the battle situation that Sickert told him some time ago, and after his own understanding A preliminary judgment on the Polish military strength was drawn.

"Red Napoleon, this title is a bit interesting." Apparently, Zhang Chengtian's analysis of the battle situation has not yet impressed Sickert.That's why Sickert focused on Tukhachevsky's nickname, not on Zhang Chengtian's military strength speculation.

Zhang Chengtian, who didn't see this point, flattered him, "What is the red Napoleon? Even if Napoleon himself came, he can't compare to your military talent, teacher."

"Ahem, don't change the subject. Continue to explain why you think the Soviet Union will fail." Hearing Zhang Chengtian's flattery, Sickert couldn't help but blush.My student is good at everything, motivated and willing to work hard, but I don't know why he likes to flatter others so much.However, Sickert was really happy about Zhang Chengtian describing himself as a general surpassing Napoleon.After all, Napoleon's military talents were recognized by the military, but he had no chance to display his talents in his early years and was unknown.The only outstanding sniper battle occurred when Turkey was defeated.All glory was overshadowed by the impotent rout of the Turkish army.

After displaying the exchange of wisdom from the East, Zhang Chengtian didn't keep Sickert waiting long, and immediately took out dry goods: "The biggest mistake of the Soviet army was to pursue too much to take Warsaw as soon as possible, so that its army was stretched. In the end The fast Cossack cavalry army has approached the outskirts of Warsaw, while many of the slow infantry are still staying in Ukraine. The Soviet army has been suppressed by the Polish army in Warsaw. The logistics cannot keep up, and the troops are suppressed again.'Red Napoleon probably didn't have the ability to win this battle. And once the Soviet Union is defeated by Poland in Warsaw, the nascent regime will be greatly shaken."

"It's true that the various deficiencies of the Soviet army may not be obvious when they are fighting with the wind, but once they fail. The composition of the army is chaotic, and the logistics are poor... The Soviet Union will not be able to organize a second large-scale offensive." West Kurt finally heard the key points he wanted to hear. In Sickert's view, this is also the result of his military training of Zhang Chengtian for a period of time.

Seeing Sickert showing a satisfied smile, Zhang Chengtian put forward his last card to contact the Soviet Union: "According to my prediction, after the Soviet Union suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Warsaw, all of its 4th Army and part of its 15th Army will be forced to withdraw. Enter East Prussia to disarm. This is the best gift we can give to the Soviet Union for cooperation."

"You can even predict this step!" Sickert was surprised by Zhang Chengtian's prediction.Although this kind of prediction is in line with the logic of the battlefield, it is too precise, so that the accuracy rate is unconvincing. "What you said is just a possibility. It is not impossible if the two Soviet armies choose to break through."

Seeing that the momentum was good, Zhang Chengtian immediately used his prophet to set Sickert up, "Teacher, I think it might as well be like this. If the two Soviet armies are disarmed in East Prussia according to my prediction, then you can find a way to arrange it secretly." Use this gift to help me get in touch with the Soviet Union as a partner. How about it?"

"If your prediction is really accurate to this point, it means that you have the foresight ability, and I will support your plan. Once your prediction is not accurate, then don't engage in those crooked ways, and help me with peace of mind Streamline the Wehrmacht." In this way, Sickert, for the first time, fell into the trap set by his students relying on prophetic intelligence.

Text Chapter 15 Secret Police

As Zhang Chengtian expected, to be precise, it was not destined by history.The Polish 5th Army took advantage of the incoordination of the stretched lines of the Red Army's 3rd, 4th, and 15th Armies to prevent the attacks of these armies, and stopped the advance of the 16th Army in the suburbs of Warsaw.Subsequently, the Polish 3rd and 4th Army went straight into the flank of the 16th Army of the Red Army, and the rest of the Polish armies turned to counterattack across the board, leading to the disastrous defeat of the Soviet Army in the Battle of Warsaw.

In this battle, the entire 4th Army of the Soviet Army, 15 divisions of the 2th Army, and the 3rd Cavalry Army were forced to withdraw into East Prussia, Germany by the commander-in-chief of the Polish and Latvian Armed Forces, Edward Rez-Simigvi. Being disarmed, the 15th and 16th Army Groups basically lost. The Red Army lost about 15 people, 230 artillery pieces, and more than 1000 machine guns.

Subsequently, Germany quickly returned the disarmed Soviet troops together with their equipment to the Soviet Union.

Germany's move quickly won the favor of the Soviet Union.In addition, due to the defeat in the war, there was a great shock among the Soviet leaders.At the Ninth Congress, high-level Soviet leaders discussed the reasons for the defeat of the war and the prospects for world revolution.

Tukhachevsky criticized the performance of the Southwest Front Army in the war, and Stalin, the political commissar of the Front Army, directly pointed out that this failure was inseparable from the army's poor logistics and poor equipment.

Stalin's point of view coincided with the intention of cooperation and development revealed by Germany when it returned the disarmed Soviet troops.

Coincidentally, the consequences of this battle pushed the leaders of the next three major European countries to power at once.

Poland, the most victorious country, and the Polish general who led the Warsaw victory, Edward Rez-Simigwi became famous, and accumulated capital for later serving as the Polish Marshal and implementing a military dictatorship.

As the first to propose cooperation with Germany, Stalin was appointed by Lenin as the person in charge of Soviet-German cooperation.He and Zhang Chengtian, the person in charge of Germany, jointly negotiated the "Rapallo Treaty" concerning the secret cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany.

According to the treaty, the two sides resumed diplomatic relations, developed bilateral trade and economic relations under the principle of most-favored-nation treatment, and both sides waived claims for compensation and property.Subsequently, the two countries concluded a secret military agreement. Germany resisted the prohibition of the Versailles Peace Treaty, provided Soviet Russia with a complete set of weapons manufacturing production lines to strengthen the weapons of the Soviet Russian troops, and helped Soviet Russia build roads according to European standards to strengthen the logistics of the Soviet Russian troops. .Soviet Russia opened its bases and factories to Germany, where Germany could train armored soldiers, pilots and other military personnel without interference, and develop weapons strictly prohibited by the Treaty of Versailles.

As Sickert's student and assistant in charge of Germany, Zhang Chengtian will be promoted to colonel and go to Moscow, Soviet Russia to establish an executive agency called "Moscow Center".And in Kazan the site of the joint tank school was planned.

Before departure, Zhang Chengtian contacted Steve, who was still the company commander of the National Defense Forces.When Steve learned that Zhang Chengtian wanted his help to form a civilian armed force that could be used as a reserve, he resolutely submitted an application for retirement and went to Berlin to join Zhang Chengtian.Together with Steve, 3 officers and soldiers from the original 24rd company submitted the application for retirement.They are all the essence of the National Defense Forces, but at this moment they all left the army without hesitation to help Zhang Chengtian form the militia.They did this not because they didn't value the identity of the Wehrmacht.On the contrary, they all cherished the opportunity to stay in the Wehrmacht.But they are willing to give up this hard-won opportunity to establish this combat-capable reserve force for Germany.This is a sense of responsibility to Germany, and even more trust in Zhang Chengtian.

Feeling this trust, Zhang Chengtian deeply felt the responsibility on his shoulders.In the nation of Germany, there are too many people who put their hopes in themselves, and Zhang Chengtian really does not intend to let these people down.Just when Zhang Chengtian was about to go to the suburbs of Berlin to meet Steve and others.The door of Zhang Chengtian's office was knocked open by an acquaintance.

"It's you, Ross." Zhang Chengtian quickly recognized the sheriff who had rescued him from Schmidt's bodyguard.

Seeing that Zhang Chengtian recognized him, Ross didn't go around the corner, and directly talked about the subject of his visit, "Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt, no, Colonel Reinhardt. Congratulations on your promotion again. You may be the fastest promoted in German history." Colonel."

Hearing the praise, Zhang Chengtian was unabashedly elated.I kept screaming in my heart, a few more words of praise, a few more words of praise for me.

However, Ross did not continue to praise him as Zhang Chengtian hoped. "However, your threat is not small. According to the information I received, the last time, Chairman Schmidt, after he was released from prison, he looked for connections everywhere to take revenge on you."

Zhang Chengtian couldn't help but twitched his face twice, he almost forgot about Schmidt's trouble.Hearing this news suddenly, Zhang Chengcai realized his carelessness.

But Ross obviously didn't just come to inform the news, and replied without waiting for Zhang Chengtian to speak: "But our police force has dealt with him quickly, and Schmidt has now shut up forever."

"It's been dealt with?! Aren't you afraid of accidents?" Obviously Zhang Chengtian was surprised by Ross's ruthless determination, after all, Zhang Chengtian had never had the experience of destroying a life.In this matter, Ross taught Zhang Chengtian a lesson. Sometimes if he doesn't put his opponent to death, the opponent will threaten him in turn.This is true between people, and it is also true between countries!

"Our entire police force is a member of the navy who participated in Operation Rainbow. In order to support you, we will never be afraid of trouble. From the moment you proposed Operation Rainbow, I thought you were not an ordinary soldier. After hearing that you planned to pacify After the process of the Karp riot, your ability to predict has already made me surrender. I have always believed that the rise of Germany cannot be separated from talents like you." At the end of the sentence, Ross has begun to express his loyalty clearly.

Zhang Chengtian, who realized this, suddenly remembered something, and then solemnly mentioned to Ross: "If I say that I hope you can help me form a secret police covering the whole country, and find out for me in the future those things that hinder the rise of Germany. Worm, dig up foreign spies. Will you accept it?"

"My will, your long sword. I will serve you, and Germany."

Zhang Chengtian knew this colleague who had worked with him quite well.At least, Zhang Chengtian had no doubts about Rose's unabashed patriotism and radicalism.Afraid to pat Ross on the shoulder, Zhang Chengtian smiled and said, "Well, from today onwards you will be the direct person in charge of the secret organization 'Gestapo'. I can draw reliable personnel for you from the abolished army. It will be collected for you in the name of resettling retired soldiers, and will be provided later by the operational Rhine Company. Remember, it must be established in secret, and only report to me. All personnel must understand my achievements, and praise me for nothing.”

The hint of Zhang Chengtian's narcissism was understood by Rose as the selected members must be loyal and have a certain amount of admiration for Zhang Chengtian like himself.

"That's it, you are in charge of the specific cases and report to me at any time. After I go abroad, you remember to help me keep an eye on a newly established small party called the 'German Democratic Socialist Workers' Party'. Arrange us in this small party By the way, arrange some of our people in other political parties.” After the preliminary establishment of the secret police, Zhang Chengtian immediately thought of adding sand to the later mighty Nazi party.After all, the Gestapo is Hitler's trump card in later generations. It is not enough to show respect if you don't use it to guard against Hitler.

Afterwards, Zhang Chengtian seized the time.I rushed to a small warehouse in the suburbs of Berlin that I had agreed with Steve and others.There, they will screen a large number of ex-servicemen for the future formation of the reorganized Socialist German Workers Party, an SS.A paramilitary organization labeled by the government as a reserve training facility.

And Zhang Chengtian, who was traveling alone, was immediately targeted by several assassins with malicious intentions after leaving the office building.On Zhang Chengtian's way to the warehouse in the suburbs, a hired assassination team quietly gathered behind Zhang Chengtian...

Text No.16 Chapter Assassination

For Zhang Chengtian's rapid promotion, there is such a person who has always harbored malice and jealousy.This person is Zhang Chengtian's former superior, the former German hero - Ludendorff.Ever since Zhang Chengtian changed his family, Ludendorff has not been in a happy mood for a moment.

Ludendorff often thought, what would have happened if Zhang Chengtian had not been sent to Stuttgart?However, who would have expected that Zhang Chengtian's prediction would be so accurate that it would be perfect.From Karp's coup to the government's response, Zhang Chengtian seems to have known the script for a long time, and can find the best solution every time.Whenever he thinks of this, Ludendorff feels scared.Losing such an excellent talent, and being on the opposite side of such a person, Ludendorff regretted his guts.

Annoyed, a vicious thought flashed through Ludendorff's mind.Suddenly, I couldn't restrain it!Even if it is cruel, even if I am sorry for this fellow German hero.As long as he could clear this obstacle, Ludendorff would not hesitate to try.

A small amount is not a gentleman, a non-toxic is not a husband, winners and losers!There is nothing wrong with putting this principle anywhere!Since it can't be used by me, then I must never let this person get in the way.The goal of launching a war by oneself and bringing back the Kaiser with victory must not be hindered by this person.Thinking of Schmidt, who found him to file a complaint some time ago, he disappeared before he had time to communicate in detail.Ludendorff felt more and more that this matter could not be dragged on.
