The Third Reich: The Return of the King
Chapter 99
This statement by Minister of Defense Hans looks like he is giving up on himself, but in fact he is roasting the country of Gaul on the fire!
His words are tantamount to making it clear that the Gauls intend to destroy Hans, and the castrated army in Hans's hands at this time cannot be the opponent of the Gauls, since it is not an opponent, then simply don't want this army, lie flat and wait for you to kill!
The German army's statement was almost a way of giving up on itself.
However, if the Germans themselves gave up, other countries may not give up!
Governments are not fools, and if you think about it, you can see what the purpose of this behavior of the Gauls was!
The Krupp Arsenal was a very important military enterprise of the Second Reich during the First World War, and it was not only the Gauls who suffered a great loss in the face of the weapons produced by Krupp, but also the countries of the Allies.
At that time, there was a proposal from various countries to dismantle the Krupp factory and completely end this arm of the German army!
However, this proposal was not adopted in the end, and was replaced by extremely severe restrictions on the Krupp factory and the German army, which greatly limited the production of weapons at the Krupp factory, which made Krupp at this time far inferior to the previous Krupp scenery!
Krupp is best known for their artillery, especially the kind of large-caliber artillery, but subject to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, these things are no longer allowed to be produced at this time, and Krupp can only produce some small-caliber guns, and they are not allowed to export yet.
And the Germans themselves only had 100,000 people, and they didn't use many weapons at all, which made Krupp lose the vast majority of orders, and in this case, this world-famous military factory was going downhill almost every day, and even without the help of the French army, they would not be able to hold out for long!
However, in this case, the Gauls still made a move, and the intention behind this has to be thought about!
After the First World War, the Gauls had already used the Treaty of Versailles to abolish most of Hans's army, but at this time they were still aggressive to destroy all the military industry in Hans's country.
And this signal made both Sunset and Eagle Sauce feel a little uneasy, and they felt that they had to do something to warn the Gauls!
On July, Eagle Sauce in North America publicly condemned the Gauls for indiscriminately killing innocent people and resorting to violence against innocent civilians, which the Eagle Sauce government did not approve of and could not tolerate!
Immediately after, the empire on which the sun never sets expressed regret for what the Gauls had done.
Although they did not condemn the Gauls, they made a rare criticism of the actions of their allies, arguing that the Gauls were crazy and unnecessary to harm the civilians!
Instead of choosing to side with their allies, they sided with Hans, much to the displeasure of the Gauls.
"Hmph, what does it mean that the sun does not set? Why are they now rebelling against each other when they were supposed to weaken the German army?"
Marshal Foch was very dissatisfied with the statement that the sun does not set and the eagle, and he was already very angry that this kind of thing happened on Hans's side!
Three days earlier, on July 3, the Allied Arms Control Committee had received a new order from the Krupp factory, which looked very similar to tanks!
This news made the French army representatives attach great importance to it, the tank during the First World War was a weapon that all countries attached great importance to, and it was also a weapon that was expressly prohibited by the Treaty of Versailles and was not allowed to be produced and possessed.
The French delegates quickly thought of Hans's young Minister of Defense, and they planned to investigate!
In the early hours of the morning, a team of heavily armed French troops went to Krupp to investigate, but they did not expect this to happen.
Because it was night at the time of the incident, in order to investigate the concealment of the operation, the French army did not turn on the lights, so they broke into a clash with the guards here when they forcibly broke into the Krupp factory, and the French army did not know who fired the first shot, but after the fight, the French artillery hit the Krupp arsenal, and there was also a batch of shells and gunpowder ordered by the German army during the First World War.
As soon as these shells were detonated, the situation got out of control, the violent explosion shattered the glass for several kilometers in the surrounding area, destroyed most of the houses within 50 meters of the arsenal, killed and injured a large number of civilians in the explosion, and burned most of the Krupp munitions factory into ruins!
Knowing that the French army had caused trouble, they did not even have time to collect the corpses of their own allies, so they turned around and ran, only to sell their own homeland instead!
Early the next morning, when Hans's police arrived at the scene, they saw only the corpses of the French army and the armored vehicles of the French army, as well as the ruins and civilians with heavy casualties everywhere, so this incident was quickly determined to be the work of the French army, and this hat could not be taken off on the heads of the Gauls!
After learning this news, Marshal Foch was speechless for a long time.
He was so angry that he didn't know what to say!
Although the choice and decision of the French representative on Hans's side was correct, if there was an opportunity, Marshal Foch also wanted to put the Krupp factory and the German army to death, such a good opportunity was in front of him, even he would be tempted.
However, those guys are so unreliable, why should they go up late?
Wouldn't it be nice to go with representatives of other Entente countries with great fanfare during the day?
Why fire guns casually inside the arsenal, don't they know that this is the largest arsenal in Europe?
If Marshal Foch were to deal with this matter, he would be silent after receiving the information, secretly send people to investigate, and after having enough evidence, he would invite representatives of various countries to go together, directly block the Krupp military factory, and then go in to find out the truth, the tank is huge, not the kind of small existence that can be easily hidden, as long as it is determined that Krupp is really developing tanks, it is difficult for them to find the handle of the other party!
However, now that it is too late to say anything, the situation has reached such a point that if they do not find a way to reverse it, the international situation will become more and more unfavorable for them!
They had to do something!
Fortunately, the French army still has a killer feature in their hands, that is, the information they received before: the German army is secretly developing tanks!
Marshal Foch believed that if he made this matter public, the initiative would return to them!
As soon as they said it, the Gallic military soon publicly announced: they had evidence that the German army was secretly developing a tank at the Krupp factory!
This announcement immediately attracted the attention of all countries, and at this time, only a year had passed since the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, so everyone remembered the contents of the Treaty of Versailles relatively clearly.
Everyone remembers that the Treaty of Versailles clearly stated that the German army was not allowed to possess and produce tanks, and if the situation declared by the Gauls at this time was true, does it not mean that the Hans were blatantly violating the Treaty of Versailles?
For a time, the focus of attention of various countries shifted from the destruction of the Krupp factory to the fact that the Krupp factory was secretly producing tanks!
After receiving the information of the Gauls, both Sunset and Eagle Sauce attached great importance to it, and the two countries unanimously stated that they would send an investigation team to Hans to publicly investigate the matter!
Mainz breathed a sigh of relief to hear the news.
The fish has finally taken the bait!_
