Battle of the Third Reich

In the 1930s and 1940s, all countries in the world, especially those countries with military powers in Europe and the United States, paid special attention to the queue operation. Even the messy rice army in the later generations was very particular about the neatness of the queue, even if it was Such extravagant children as MacArthur and Barton are also good at wiping leather boots in military schools.

The scattered atmosphere in the US military is the product of the rapid expansion of the army at the beginning of the war. Hundreds of thousands of civilians who never had the concept of discipline poured into the army, navy and air force. Many people were sent to the battlefield after only ten weeks of basic training. People's psychology has not yet adapted to become an American soldier, so it is completely understandable that some strange things appear on the battlefield.

On the contrary, the German side is quite different. At this time, the Germans still retain their unique national character. They pay attention to collectivism and teamwork. Since childhood, they have been taught by elders that their personal power is insignificant, and the collective power can cut the mountain and fill the river. The Germans regarded serving the country as a gifted responsibility, and at the same time liked to worship the strong, and they focused on discipline and obedience. Almost every school-age man has been trained in various military skills since middle school. When it comes to queues, there are few in the world that can surpass the German army, and the SS who is particularly focused on image is the leader.

Because the team is still stationed in Chongqing, the "Tomahawk" only came to one company this time. They will not go to Japan with the team. They came to Shanghai purely to support the scene of the special envoy.

A company of armed SS, wearing a black woolen uniform, wearing a white parade outfit, carrying a 98k silver rifle on its shoulders, taking a magnificent German-style forward, lined up neatly along the road on the Bund toward the viewing platform Come forward.

The team leader of the Ludwig Commando Commando, with a row of shiny medals hung on his chest, if anyone has sharp eyes, one of them can be found a sixth-grade Jingxing medal of the state government. This was still in Chongqing when Jiang Zhongzheng personally Awarded to him. The lieutenant colonel, wearing a black m35 helmet, strode to the right of the flag bearer holding the flag of honor, and the left hand with white sheepskin gloves supported the command scabbard around his waist. The entire row of shiny high-top leather boots stepped on the stone pavement on the Bund at the same time, making a neat sound like thunder.

"Attention!" Ludwig ordered loudly, withdrawing the command knife in his right hand, standing vertically in front of himself.

"Salute!" The Lieutenant Colonel of the SS slashed his knife sideways and raised his chin to salute the Field Marshal on the viewing platform.

The SS soldiers in the back made a sharp splitting action almost at the same time. The shiny bayonet reflected a white light in the sun. The crowds on both sides of the road suddenly burst into exclamation, followed by warm applause and cheers. All Everyone was boiled by the blood stimulated by the scene just seen.

"Victory! Long live!"

"Victory! Long live!"

"Long live victory!"

Under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig, the soldiers shouted victory triumphantly, and at the same time, Marshal Blumberg in the stands, raised his right arm to salute the soldiers.

Since Shanghai opened the port, local citizens are considered to be the earliest Chinese to look at the world. They have seen countless celebration parades on the streets of this city. Among them there are many people who seem to be majestic and powerful, and many of them are still elite Westerners in China, but there has never been any army that can give them the feeling they feel today.

Even well-informed people in the media can't help but express the same emotions. It's really a German parade that has long been famous in the world. Although the National Army is also practicing German exercises, compared with the armed SS in front of it, It always makes people feel a little worse.

This is not to disparage the Guofu Army. It cannot be denied that there are indeed a batch of Hundred-Fighted Tigers in the Guofu.

"A dead country (very powerful) is worthy of being a strong soldier in a single country, and I have seen it." A Japanese staff admired involuntarily.

"I heard that the Morimoto Brigade was defeated by the force in front of it, and now it seems to be the first-class strong army. Morimoto almost brought such a strong enemy for the empire, it is really a pity to die." Another name The staff nodded and echoed.

"There are as many as three million troops in such a country."

"More than that, a friend of the staff headquarters told me that the military expansion in the Duo Kingdom continues."

"Nani? Which prey did the head of state see again?"

"According to my presumption that the Duo Guo" a group of Japanese Sergeants whispered.

"My Excellency Marshal, last time on the streets of Munich, I had the honour to review the SS with the Prime Minister of your country, His Excellency Hitler, and Marshal Goring. The grand scene at that time made me still remember the memory. Since then, I have made up my mind Determined to develop the friendship between Japan and Independence, even if I bow to the essence.

For more than ten years, Japan has always been the most loyal friend of the single country. Even when the single country was isolated in the world by the British, the Japanese empire has been firmly on the German side. You should be able to see this. . "By complimenting the majesty of the SS, Yoshinori Matsuoka began to play a love card with Blumberg."

"I must admit that what you said is the truth, Mr. Foreign Secretary." Blumberg said with a smile.

"You can continue to call me Asako Oga, Marshal, and you can even call me and die. We should be considered old friends. Shouldn't friends call their names?" Matsuoka Yangyou said with a smile.

"Well, you can call me Werner, and deserve it again." Blumberg was clearly in a good mood.

"I can tell you very clearly that this time the head of state sent me to Japan to make up for and deepen the friendship between the two countries, although several misunderstandings have occurred in the past, which has damaged the friendship between the German Empire and the Japanese Empire. relationship.

But dear old friends, Germany and Japan are friendly, and this is recognized by His Excellency the Head of State. The German Marshal whispered to the Japanese Foreign Minister with a slight stick in his hand.

"It turns out that this is really great news. I believe that all Japanese subjects will be happy for this. I will immediately relay your words to the Prime Minister of the Guard, he has always been worried about this After this news, the Prime Minister will surely have a sweet dream tonight." Matsuoka’s right face showed a delighted expression and respectfully bowed to the German head of state.

"Ah, it's my turn to speak on stage. We'll talk later." Blumberg smiled and patted Matsuoka's arm, then turned around and walked to the center of the viewing platform.

At this time, the British Consul General George and the French Consul General Aoqi had already delivered their welcome speeches, and it was the turn of Blumberg to speak.

"Your Excellency, do you think Blumberg's words are credible?" Takahashi asked, leaning forward.

"Takahashi Sang, you have to pay attention to your words. It's too rude. You should respect him as your Marshal."

Matsuoka glanced at his subordinates, frowning and said, "I know this marshal very well. He is not a liar, so his words are credible."

"If that's the case, it would be great," Niuchang felt on the side.

"We can't relax yet. Before the Marshal ends this visit and signs a formal agreement with us, we must not take it lightly and be careful. Especially you, General Zetian, this time almost let the Empire's His face was exhausted. This was a serious dereliction of duty. There must never be another time." Matsuoka finally got relieved and began to attack the Lieutenant General. He had this confidence and could ignore the rank of the opponent's collar.

"Hah! Moses Agge made a wish for Masan and Kaga. (Yes, I'm very sorry, Your Excellency.)" The Tang Lieutenant General, but now bowed like a second-class soldier to admit his mistakes. This is also impossible. The other party is holding a big righteousness at the moment. , Ze Tian Mao had to bow his head.

"Fortunately, the event was finally recovered, and I will not report to the Cabinet this time, but you must reflect deeply after you return." Matsuoka's eyes became sharper.

"Oh!" Horiuchi and Sawada bowed their heads at the same time.

As Matsuoka shook his prestige here, Blumberg also ended his short speech. It's nothing more than a longing for this visit, praise for the city of Shanghai, and a bunch of longings and prospects, basically a bunch of empty checks and official articles. Anyway, as long as the guests present and the media believe it, the so-called Huahua sedan lifts people.

Then there were other diplomatic envoys and commercial representatives, as well as members of the Ministry of Industry and the Board of Directors, all of which were good articles with a lot of flowers, and the content was uniform and empty. Even Matsuoka stepped forward and said a few words. If it were not for the group of people he brought up, he almost encountered a cold market. The Shanghai residents in the concession didn’t buy Japanese accounts very much because the on-site arrests were too Mostly, there was no whistling and cheering, and the Japanese Foreign Minister’s face was preserved.

At this time, it was almost close to noon. Under the accompaniment of the melodious welcome song, the host and guest walked down the grandstand and walked towards the main entrance of the Chinachem Hotel (today's Peace Hotel) across the road in the crowded view of the enthusiastic Shanghai residents. go with.

Blumberg and his party have booked two floors of this famous hotel as a place to live when visiting the Shanghai Concession.

Just as the pedestrian approached the door of the hotel, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd on the sidewalk, and then a man in a blue gown and black bowler kicked over to try to stop his Vietnamese patrol. A black shiny pistol was drawn from his pants pocket.

"Destroy the Japanese invaders, return me to the mountains!" Dahan shouted in a Mandarin with a strong Jiangsu accent, and then shot at the right of Matsuoka Yang who was walking in front of the team, but it was the German marshal beside the foreign minister. .

"Protection Marshal!"

"Protection of the Foreign Minister"

"Catch that assassin!"

"Ge Zelan is deadly (this dead ghost is dead), shoot!"

"Don't shoot! Have a live mouth!"

The Chinese and foreign military and political officials present shouted indiscriminately, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
