Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Go directly to the army to recruit, but you can take away officers and soldiers into an organization; although it is very risky, once successful, the effect will be amazing. Recruiting unsatisfactory retired military personnel will require more waste of manpower, material resources, and financial resources; and it will also require a certain amount of time for training, so efficiency is not guaranteed!

Why didn't Germany use this army for its own use? This caused widespread discussion in later generations. The mainstream view is that Germany and NATO behind it are afraid that they will not be able to control this caged tiger just like the Soviet Union. Disbanding the East German army is the best way to maintain the balance of combat power in Europe; NATO cannot tolerate the integration of another armed force into its own system.

Originally, it only needed to purchase some arms or recruit some elite soldiers; now the scope has been infinitely expanded, and it is necessary to personally coordinate.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "Make an appointment for me with Theodor Hoffmann. The only way to get through is through him at this moment."

When he heard that his boss wanted to negotiate in person, Peng Yifei did not dare to hesitate at all; he immediately said that it was no problem and promised that it would be done tomorrow morning.

Hearing this, the richest man Bao was very satisfied; it proved that Peng Yifei had not been lazy in East Germany in recent years. The best proof was that the highest level of the army could meet with him at any time!

Theodor Hofmann, the last Defense Minister of East Germany.

The Minister of Defense can be regarded as a legend. He was still engaged in agricultural work in 1998; for some unknown reason, he suddenly became one of the founding leaders of the Free German Youth League in Weimar. 1st policeman, entered the Stralsund Police School and studied in the 1st Socialist Party. Later, he served in the East German Navy as Chief of Staff and Commander of the Sixth Fleet, Deputy Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander of the Navy, Commander of the Navy and Deputy Minister of National Service, and was promoted to the rank of Vice Admiral.

On the 1st, Hoffmann was promoted to admiral; he succeeded Heinz Kessler as the last military minister of defense and commander of the National People's Army, and later led the transfer of the East German National People's Army to the West German Bundeswehr.

As the supreme commander of the army, many things must go through him; otherwise, it can only be a small fight, which is not in line with Bao's style of conduct.

Hoffman received a call from Peng Yifei in the office and knew that he could not escape what was coming; so he asked his adjutant to cancel all the schedule for tomorrow morning.

Although it is not clear what leadership means, it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders; the adjutant immediately began to make arrangements.

Over the years, the connections Peng Yifei has built in East Germany are absolutely beyond imagination. Not to mention going deep into various fields, but whoever you want to meet; there is basically no difficulty.

No one is stupid, and many times they really need the help of Heiyun Group. There is nothing I can do when my children go to study abroad, when my family wants to obtain some imported goods, and when they want to exchange foreign exchange and other services.

Besides, if Bao Zixuan wanted to see him, there must be something important to discuss. In order to cover up the situation, Hoffman even came to Dresden in person!

This made Angela Rothschild feel incredible. The man in front of her was far more powerful than she imagined; the Germans have always been very proud, and even if they were defeated in the war, they would maintain their due dignity; Hoffman was also the Minister of Defense after all; before I thought I would go to Berlin to meet him. I didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to come over, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

But this is good, the probability of completing the mission becomes greater; at least it is not difficult to obtain the personnel and equipment of the East German army!

Germans pay attention to efficiency, and Hoffman was born as a soldier; he is stronger than ordinary people. So at ten o'clock the next morning, we arrived at the agreed place.

Bao Zixuan didn't ask for help and had been waiting for him for a long time. I am also worried about personal safety. There was no bloodshed during the merger of Germany and Germany. But history has changed too much. If something unexpected happens, you must have the ability to protect yourself.

The purpose of coming here in advance is to conduct detailed inspections and choose the best evacuation route in case of emergencies; no matter what time, life safety must always come first.

If he were just an ordinary businessman, Hoffman would not pay attention at all; but sometimes he had to make compromises. Even if you don't think about yourself, your family still needs a stable life.

As a father and grandfather, I no longer live just for myself. There is absolutely no shortage of national feelings and national justice in Hoffman; but now that East Germany is like this, is it necessary for him to continue to stick to it? To be honest, it is really difficult, and it can even be said that it is impossible.

After the two sat down, Hoffman said with a smile: "Mr. Bao is younger than I thought; since the President has chosen to believe you; and in the process of acquiring state-owned enterprises, Xiangjiang businessmen did not take advantage of others; Your Excellency The business reputation is still worthy of recognition.”

"The military is different from an enterprise. I want to know the purpose of your meeting with me!"

Specifically mentioning the president of East Germany was a statement of identity and position; it reassured Young Master Lin. As for mentioning that the military is different from enterprises, the meaning is very obvious; don't make too many demands, just enough.

It can be said that at this moment, the Minister of Defense is still adhering to the belief of a soldier.

Bao Zixuan said very seriously: "General Hoffman, how many troops do you think West Germany will allow East Germany to retain after the merger of the two Germanys?"

There has never been a clear result on how many former East German soldiers the West German Ministry of Defense will allow to continue serving in the newly formed army; this is one of the reasons why Hoffman agreed to meet with Bao Zixuan.

Hoffman was more or less aware of the intelligence capabilities displayed by the Black Cloud Group in East Germany; it was not far behind in West Germany. And I heard that in order to contact the Soviet Union, West Germany also approached this guy to coordinate.

In fact, West Germany asked the Heiyun Group to coordinate, and it was Bao Zixuan who deliberately let the news out; and it was only aimed at the top leaders of East Germany, so the purpose is self-evident. Just to let East Germany know that the Black Cloud Group is in West Germany; its strength cannot be underestimated! At this moment, it successfully confused Hoffman, which shows that it is still very effective.

Hoffman thought for a moment and said: "To be honest, we have been talking about it now, and West Germany has never given a clear explanation; I am also worried about this."

"Mr. Bao has many connections, I wonder what he thinks about this matter!"

I'm not afraid that I won't be fooled. If I don't ask anything, it won't be easy to continue!

Bao Zixuan said very seriously: "Due to the long-term confrontation in the Cold War, the West German people did not have a good impression of the East German army. Although the country is facing reunification, those in West Germany still control the German army."

"It is impossible for a long-term confrontation to disappear because of reunification. Especially after the establishment of the Berlin Wall, many people were executed by the East German army for crossing the Berlin Wall, which made many people hate the East German army. Although they were soldiers, they had to obey orders. ; But the vast majority of people are not willing to forgive them. Not only do they not forgive, they have also been holding these people accountable."

"Also; the East German army is not large in number and has very strong combat effectiveness. Although this is an advantage of the East German army, it is not a good thing for West Germany. If all these armies are integrated, the size of the army may increase. Relatively large; this will bring a lot of trouble and even cause international disputes. Even if other countries do not object to having so many more troops, the West German army may not agree. After all, everyone's training methods and combat methods are very different. "

"Based on the analysis of various factors, the East German army will be laid off a lot after reunification, and the remuneration of the remaining soldiers will not be very good! Whether to recognize East German soldiers as German soldiers has always been the focus of discussion. And those who really have the decision-making power The people are all from West Germany."

"Shortly after the death of General Vorbeck of the 1st Division, West Germany paid compensation to the African Askaris who followed him; 350 veterans among them benefited from this!"

"But when it comes to treating veterans of World War II, the West German authorities are not so friendly; perhaps it is forced by the international situation, or it may be other factors; but to put it bluntly, they do not want to admit that they have fought for the country."

"Many veterans of World War II suffered from war syndrome; their lives were very difficult and they could not even take care of themselves. But the West German authorities did not say anything. War decision-makers were never soldiers; they just followed orders."

"This is true for veterans of World War II. It is unrealistic to want to recognize East German soldiers."

"The West German Ministry of Defense has decided to retain up to 7,000 East German soldiers, which means taking off their military uniforms and reintegrating into society. West Germany has no specific plan on how to arrange the laid-off East German soldiers; to put it bluntly, it means letting them go. Fend for yourself!"

After speaking, he also took out a document, which turned out to be a top-secret plan of the West German Ministry of Defense!
