When the whole of Europe shuddered under the wings of Messerschmitt, When the wolves below sea level had torn the queen’s throat, When the tiger tank roared and smashed the walls of Moscow, Akado stood in front of many reporters and smiled: “No one can stop the expansion of the Third Reich except God.”
Seeckt rushed back to the headquarters of the National Defense Force the next day. After all, it is not a good thing for a commander-in-chief to stay in the exercise area all day long. Although the world knows that the German Defense Force has just a few people and a few guns, the commander-in-chief It is similar to the people in charge of the commanders of the armies of other countries, but Siket still does not want to admit this helpless fact.
So staying in his own office and dreaming of having more than a dozen armies is a very comfortable thing for Seeker.
"Lieutenant Grace!" After Shu Shuang, Seeker called his heartfelt female secretary: "Akado's purchase report should be submitted today?" "Did you mention the payment for the car?"
This problem plunged Grace into her conversation with Akado yesterday:
Grace asked Akado anxiously, "But if the general asks about it, I dare not hide it! If the stuff is revealed, the general will no longer trust me, and your concealment will fail!"
Akado laughed: "My pro-credit bought a company in Munich for a sum of money. The company's name is very interesting. The name is Bayerische Motorenwerke. The Bavarian machinery factory I give this company the nickname "BMW."
Akado pointed to the plan and smiled at Grace: "In the future, all my car and armored vehicle purchases will be marked with the word BMW." You will not say anything if you report to Masisikt; if he finds out, you can blame me directly.
"What do you mean?" Grace asked with a frown.
"In future reports, how much BMW is in the National Defense Force procurement how many BMW motorcycles and cars?" "Do you understand what I mean, horses?" This conversation was completed and ended by Akado.
Grice thought of this and smiled at General Sikte, who asked the question, "Lieutenant Colonel Arcado purchased the BMW 300 in this report." "It seems that he still likes horses very much."
"This Akado was still talking hard to me yesterday, and in the end, did he secretly correct his own radical mistake?" This young man! Hum." Siket smiled and took a rough look at the report, that he saw. When there were still 200 cars listed in the column of car purchases, he snorted unhappily, closed the original report, and left it aside.
"Go down!" Seeker squeezed the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. He waved at Grace and said, "I'm tired and need a break."
While Sikte was deceived by Akado's BMW name in the headquarters, Akado was personally tuning his armored commanders at the exercise site. he
Pointing to a forest opposite, Akado patiently told a group of young soldiers and officers around him.
"You should order your troops to stop here. Send out armored reconnaissance vehicles to reconcile here and there!" Confirm the position of the enemy positions, and then arrange the offensive. You are all important personnel of the National Defense Forces. I don't want to because I'm not prepared."Be careful not to lose any of you!"Akado sternly explained his fighting principles.
He stretched out four fingers and bent down one after each sentence: "Discover the enemy, find the weakness, thunder strike, rest, and add! This is the basic combat principle! "Do you understand?"
"Maintain your most reliable comrade-in-arms, tanks!" "Clean the barrels, pack the engine, and make sure all the doors can be opened and closed freely." Akado will tirelessly tell these young tank soldiers about every exercise because Akado knows that each of them is the most precious asset.
"Sir." A German officer, about 35 years old, was recording Akado's words. He raised his hand with the hand holding the pen and asked to speak. When Akado looked at him, he asked anxiously, "What if we lose our air control?"
Akado looked at the questioning officer with great interest. His face familiarized Akado, and he was able to see the historical character of the cattle break here. Akado was very excited and watched. For a few seconds, Akado asked, "Captain, what's your name?"
"Sir! My name is Heinz. William Guderian! He is the company commander of the 10th Light Cavalry Battalion. Guderian saluted with a straight waist and introduced himself loudly.
Akado was crying and laughing at the same time. The famous blitz tactical expert in the Second World War and the world's leading armored soldier theory founder, General Guderian, who is known as the father of the armored soldiers, is now a company commander under his command. It's wonderful.
"How to let the sky belong to us, that is my question; your question is how to get the most brilliant results with the least cost!" Akado smiled and answered Guderian's question, then pointed to him and continued, "Okay! "Let's start here today; you come with me."
After taking Guderian under a big tree and seeing that there were no more people around, Akado turned back and said to Guderian: "You have a thorough understanding of what I said about the theory of armored soldiers! Who gave you an analysis?
"Sir! I participated in an observation exercise. The British Royal Tank Battalion once demonstrated the power of tank assault. I came back and wrote a very detailed report. Fortunately, the British were not optimistic about the exercise. Unfortunately, we also have no energy to discuss these. Guderian said sadly, "My report has not received any echo, so I can only use my imagination to develop my ideas."
He said while looking at Arcado eagerly: "But, one day, my cavalry unit was trained as a virtual tank unit, which gave me hope at once. I didn't expect you to appear in Germany. "Visualizing officers, I believe you will lead us to victory in the next war!
"I can't do anything to thoroughly eat through the armored soldiers! Captain Guderian! There are too many things I need to do in person. After all, my time is limited, so I need people who understand me to support me. A little lonely and sentimental, Akado said, touching the thick trunk of the big tree with his palm.
"Lieutenant Colonel! I am willing to be your supporter! I think I can understand you! "I've been a fan of yours since the first time I heard of you!" Guderian's face flushed with joy, and Ah Cardo doubted that Guderian would overthrow and **** him the next second.
It's a pity that the drama of the love story didn't happen, and Guderian said excitedly there: "Lieutenant Colonel Arcado! Let me be your loyal follower! I am willing to give my life to prove your armored soldier theory!
"Founding a theory, especially a practical one, is very boring." It needs huge data support! So I plan to ask you to help me get the first detailed data to verify our armored soldiers' theory! Would you like to? Akado asked Guderian as he looked, and he planned to train the young man in front of him to become the future super commander.
"Extremely happy!" Goodrily saluted.
"This year, in the autumn of 1921, I will transfer you to the Directorate of Transport of the Ministry of Defense! There, I will fully understand the logistics of the armored motorized troops! Then I will immediately arrange for you to go to Munich and rent a motorcycle there. Internship in the chemical transport camp Are there any questions? Akado asked.
Goodrian's excited expression: "Very happy! Sir! Heinz William Goodrian guarantees it!"I will dedicate everything to the German armored soldiers!"
After sending away his brain powder and the future general Guderian, Akado sat on the lawn and sighed against the big tree. He didn't just casually talk to Guderian; he was really tired. Too.
Indeed, Akado began desperately running for the Luftwaffe's future more than a year ago. Although General Seeker's favor for cavalry and bicycles was somewhat out of date, he foresaw that the Air Force would become an independent armed force, and he coincided with Akado.
Therefore, under the approval of Seekert, Akado established a department called the Special Aviation Department in the changed General Staff. This department reserved 180 places in the small army of officers and absorbed some of them for the first time. World War II veteran pilotAkado assigned these "special mission advisers" to the main forces, instilling air force awareness among the soldiers and officers of these forces.
The purpose of this is to allow the infantry and virtual armored officers to take into account the possible actions of friendly and enemy aircraft when formulating tactics in the exercise, even when there are no aircraft.
It was during this period that the work of lifting the production capacity of German arsenals such as Krupp began, but the joint arms control committee was not fully implemented because of the large number of countries.
Under the direction of Akado, the German Wehrmacht secretly hid 1,500 new artillery pieces produced by the Krupp factory in a secret base in the mountains. This operation was completed by the National Defense Force at night, and the timing was just right before the officers of the Arms Control Committee came to the Krupp factory.
The Krupp factory secretly transported another 1,500 artillery pieces to a leather bag company in the Netherlands for hiding.
During the inspection, an Allied inspector found that Krupp turned in 3,000 fewer cannons than the French intelligence agency estimated. So the two sides had a dispute.
The Krupp believed that the French intelligence service exaggerated. In the end, the inspectors of the Coalition Arms Control Committee made compromises and broke the stalemate. In front of these inspectors, the Krupp factory restarted production and produced a total of 3,000 cannons. These new cannons were transported and destroyed, and then the factory's jigs and presses were also removed.
From this matter, it is not difficult to see that the entire coalition arms control committee has many loopholes in monitoring the scale of the German armed forces.
