Over the weekend, Lyon took a few of his cronies to a secret army camp just outside Berlin.
"Ludwig, how long has it been since I came?" Leon sighed a little.
"Chairman, you haven't been back for more than two years." Ludwig said respectfully that now party members no longer call Lyon a general, but chairman instead.
"Time flies so fast." Leon said, "When I brought these children back two years ago, they were all twelve or thirteen years old, and now they are all teenagers." "
"Chairman, soon you will be able to see them again, I have asked Armand to take a day off from training, they are now waiting for you in the auditorium."
Leon smiled and quickened his pace towards the auditorium.
Arriving at the door of the auditorium, Leon stopped, straightened his clothes, and then walked in with his head held high.
"Hey Andres!" The people who were originally sitting neatly in the auditorium saw Leon walk in, immediately stood up, raised their right arm 45 degrees neatly, and put their fingers straight forward, shouting feverishly.
This ritual is the famous German rite, which originated in ancient Rome. In this life, it was adopted by Lyon as the party of the People's Will.
Leon returned a standard German salute, then smiled and said, "Everyone sit." "
Everyone retracted their arms when they heard this, and sat back in their seats in unison, like a swarm of robots.
"We haven't seen each other in two years, have we?" When Leon saw that everyone was seated, he said, "Two years ago, you were all a bunch of children, and you didn't have a little Leon on your hands. But now? You have all become fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, and the two years of special training here have also given you the power of revenge. "
"As you all know, I founded the People's Will Party a few days ago. And you became its first members, working together with me and many other members of the People's Will for the life of the German people. But there are always moths of the people who think that we formed the People's Will Party in order to control Germany. "
"Many of you have been able to stand alone, so I came back this time to select a group of you over the age of 15 to join the Gestapo forces and purge the enemies of those people for the sake of the people of our homeland."
The young people in the audience still sat upright, as if they would not move when the sky fell. However, a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes occasionally, and they wordlessly told Leon that they desperately wanted to fight for Leon.
Leon looked at them with satisfaction, and then continued to talk to them about Germany's current situation and future plans.
Before the time came, it was time for lunch, and Leon looked at the time, ended his speech, and then went to the canteen with the group of young soldiers for lunch.
After lunch, Leon specially called Armand and asked him to arrange the selection of new troops, and then planned to leave for Berlin.
Before leaving, Leon hesitantly asked Armand:"How is Manfred doing?"
"Manfred has always been the best of the kids." Armand replied, "I specially arranged his training plan, which is half as much as the other children. At first he couldn't finish some of the projects, but after a while he was able to complete all the training projects I had scheduled, and in the end, he was able to complete his training volume with the time of other children. I have to say, this kid really works very hard. "
"Yes, he has always been my favorite one." Leon said with satisfaction, "This kid knows how to endure and grit his teeth and persist." In this way, you let him pass this selection, it's time for his fierce beast to come out of the cage. "
"Of course." Armand smiled and said, "Even if you don't say it, I'll let him join, I don't have anything left to teach him." "
In the afternoon, Lyon, sitting in the war department, welcomed a special guest - Japanese Ambassador to Germany Shigeru Togo.
Although Leon did not have a good impression of the Japanese for some reason, out of courtesy, he still met with Togo Shigeru.
"General Lyon, it is a great honor for you to take time out of your busy schedule to see me." Although Shigeru Togo was the ambassador to Germany, he still placed himself very low.
Leon smiled secretly, and then said seriously: "I don't know why Mr. Togo Maude suddenly came to visit me today."
"General Lyon, our Empire of Japan has always had great respect for your country, and your country is one of our best friends." Dongxiang Shigeru nodded and said, "Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor specially asked me to visit you to see if you and our two countries can carry out some more in-depth cooperation in economic and military fields." "
"Oh? Shouldn't you go to President Hindenburg for these matters? Why come to me? Leon asked playfully.
"Because you are your hero, you led your country out of the grip of the Treaty of Versailles, so you will definitely be the leader of Germany in the future." Moreover, most of your country's big capitalists choose to support you. "
The little devil's eyes were really vicious, Leon thought to himself, Dongxiang Maude's previous praise was just to please Leon, and the reason why he came to Leon was only the latter sentence.
Although Japan is a militaristic country, they are deeply aware of the power of capital, so Togo Shigeru did not go to the current German President Hindenburg, but directly to Lyon, which is supported by the big German capitalists.
"Mr. Togo Shigeru is wrong." Leon smiled falsely, "It's just that I really don't understand the economic aspect, and we can talk about the military aspect when the time comes." "
Togo Maude did not feel that Leon was smiling very fake, on the contrary, he felt that Leon was already full of good feelings for himself after being praised by himself. So he smiled widely: "General Lyon, we will talk about economic cooperation later." Let's talk about military cooperation first, we plan to send a group of international students to study in your country.
Leon smiled and nodded, international students are easy to say, just give face.
"Then I hope that your country will provide us with some blueprints for the design of tanks and machine guns, and of course, in return, we will also provide your country with some drawings of weapons that we are good at in other areas."
Lyon was pleased to hear that although most of Japan's weapons lagged behind Germany, Japan's torpedoes were now far ahead of other countries, and the eight-year-old torpedoes they successfully developed in 1921 are still proud today, which makes Lyon drool. As for the blueprints of the tank used in exchange, wouldn't it be very suitable for tank No. 1 to be slightly castrated and then add a 20mm gun? The MG08/15 light machine gun of World War I is still an advanced weapon for Japan today.
"Yes, we can provide you with drawings of the MG08/15 light machine gun and our own No. 1 tank (in fact, the No. 1 tank has long been eliminated), and you only need to provide us with your Eighth Year II 610 mm torpedo." Leon said generously.
In fact, he took advantage of it very much, because the eight-year Type II torpedo is the most advanced torpedo in Japan now, with a range of 10 kilometers. Compared with the current German G/6D 500mm torpedoes, whether in charge, in range, or on the torpedo wake (the smaller the torpedo wake, the more difficult it is to detect, and the more difficult it is to avoid), it is absolutely inferior.
And the No. 1 tank and MG08/15 supplied by Germany are weapons that have been eliminated by Germany,Not to mention that Lyon also planned to castrate tank No. 1. Of course, even so, these two weapons will greatly help Japan improve its own weapons.
"Thank you very much!" Dongxiang Maode was overjoyed, stood up and bowed at 90°, "We have one last request, that is, please do not provide China with weapons and technology, and we will compensate you for the losses of your country."
