Since the last Munich coup, the IDF has recognized its lack of mobility. To this end, Lyon specially invited BMW (that is, the Bavarian Mechanical Engineering Plant under the name of Lyon), Porsche, Henschel, Mercedes-Benz, Krupp, Siemens and other companies to design and build an infantry fighting vehicle for the German army, so that the Wehrmacht could cooperate with the tank regiment and form a mechanized unit with high mobility and strong assault capabilities.
In fact, if you only need to design an infantry fighting vehicle, you don't need so many companies to jointly participate, only one Porsche company is enough, and the reason why Lyon invited almost the entire German heavy industry community is because Lyon hopes to give every capitalist loyal to Germany a share of the pie as much as possible, so that when a war breaks out in the future, all companies will participate in the war, and will not stab their country in the back like in World War I.
This is what Lyon said to Hitler about tying capitalists to the chariot of the state, with both prosperity and loss.
The above companies are super-large enterprises, so as soon as they received the request of the Wehrmacht, they immediately began to jointly design, and in less than half a month, the general plan came out.
This infantry fighting vehicle on the drawings weighs 8 tons, the engine is supplied by BMW, the hull is supplied by Porsche, the running mechanism is supplied by Mercedes, the gearbox is supplied by Henschel, and Krupp, famous for its production of artillery, supplies it with a 20mm cannon.
The car theoretically withstood fire from 13mm heavy machine guns on the front and 92mm light machine guns on the sides. Lyon was so pleased with the plan that he named it Wolf , ordered the immediate manufacture of a prototype, and applied to Congress for funding to purchase 180 Wolf infantry fighting vehicles in the future to form the first mechanized infantry regiment of the Wehrmacht.
The mechanized infantry regiment would form the First Wehrmacht Grenadier Division together with Manstein's Panzer Regiment plus two other motorized rifle regiments equipped with new trucks.
The New Year of 1924 arrived as promised.
After Christmas and New Year's Day, Lyon arranged the army reorganization plan and took two months off to go out with Sophia.
It has been seven years since Leon came into this world.
In the past seven years, Lyon has planned to return to his homeland countless times to see what the unrising motherland needs help, but has not been able to do so for various reasons.
This year is different, now Lyon is the supreme commander of the German Wehrmacht, and the Wehrmacht has also cleared all internal obstacles and begun to enter the right track of benign development, Lyon can go where he wants to go without scruples.
After discussing with Sophia, the first stop of their trip was set in Lyon's hometown, a small city in southern China, where the two would stay for a week and then continue their trip.
After packing the necessary luggage, the two took the cruise ship and began the journey.
Of course, on the surface, it is a trip between the two, but in fact, there are at least hundreds of Gestapos secretly protecting the two of them.
After a few days of turbulence at sea, the two set foot on the territory of the British Concession. Looking at the English on the street, Leon sighed with emotion, the motherland is still in weakness, and a large area of the country is still seized by the foreign powers in the name of renting, but the motherland will one day stand up and become the same as in her previous life, and then no country can easily bully her.
After a day in the concession, the two took the train to their destination.
Lyon rejected the Chinese proposal to arrange a special train or add a VIP car for Lyon, and instead bought two ordinary tickets and squeezed with ordinary people on the coal-fired steam-powered train unique to this era.
For Lyon, this gives him more of a taste of home.
The train made a rhythmic "bang" sound and headed towards the town, and Leon, who was sitting in his seat, looked at the scenery speeding by outside the window and couldn't help but think.
Xia Wen in the previous life has walked many times on this journey, but he has never paid special attention to the scenery along the way at that time.
In those days, everything was about speed, and the speeding high-speed train would not leave people with the opportunity to carefully appreciate the scenery.
Trains traveling at speeds of only forty or fifty kilometers per hour make 400 kilometers long and give travelers plenty of time to enjoy the scenery outside the window.
To compare with the previous life, 400 kilometers is only a little more than an hour away for high-speed While enjoying the scenery along the way, Leon, who missed his hometown, slowly changed, his originally cold heart gradually warmed up, and the smell of blood brought by too much killing became much lighter.
Sophia on the side seemed to notice the change in Leon's temperament, she hugged Leon's arm, leaned her head on Leon's shoulder, and smiled happily.
Two people one looking at the scenery, the other looking at the scenery, the two of them maintained this posture for half a day unconsciously, until a foreign language mixed with the cry of the child pulled the two back their thoughts from their respective thoughts.
Leon collected his emotions and frowned in the direction of the voice, where a young foreigner who looked like a European was angrily talking to an old Chinese man, and on the ground sat a child crying.
Leon couldn't understand what the foreigner was saying, and he looked at Sophia beside him suspiciously. Sophia has been learning foreign languages since she was a child and knows seven Chinese languages, she listened carefully for a while, and said to Leon with an ugly face: "He speaks Polish." It seems that because the grandson of the grandmother accidentally sprinkled water on the Pole, the Polish began to scold the grandmother and her grandson, scolding very badly. "
Leon was very angry when he heard this, and although he did not understand what the Poles were saying, he understood that the grandmother had been apologizing.
He stood up and walked over to the Pole, first politely asked in English: "Hi sir, do you speak English?"
Leon continued to ask, "Then do you understand Chinese?" "
The Poles nodded and said: "Of course I understand, otherwise why did I come to China?" "
Leon's face gradually sank, since he understood Chinese, then he kept insulting the old woman and the child on the ground on purpose.
He said to the Poles with a black face: "Then why are you still insulting them here?" Don't tell me you can only understand Chinese other than apologizing! "
The Pole understood that Leon came to help the old woman, and he waved his hand and said: "Sorry, Lao Tzu is in a bad mood, so he wants to scold them, what do you care?" For the sake of all white people, I advise you to leave this idle matter alone. "
Leon's angry teeth itched, but the good quality made him endure, and he said: "Are you still a gentleman? Your parents didn't teach you manners? "
The Poles said indifferently: "Gentleman's politeness? That's not for yellow-skinned monkeys. "
Hearing this, Leon couldn't hold back anymore, punched him in the face, and the Pole looked at Leon in surprise, then said a word of Polish and rushed up to scuffle with Leon.
Seeing this, several Gestapos who were originally just hiding in the crowd and faintly surrounding the two hurriedly rushed up to separate the two, and then the two Gestapos protected Leon and retreated, while the remaining Gestapo beat the Pole.
Soon the Pole was beaten by the angry Gestapo with a swollen nose and blood.
In fact, it is not to blame that the Gestapo started so ruthlessly, after all, the god in his mind and others scuffled together, and if his group of full-time protectors did not beat him to death, then after going back, he would not say whether Ludwig could let them go, and he would be humiliated and afraid to go out to meet people.
"Hey, don't kill him, keep your breath." Leon told the Gestapos to stop, and if they continued to fight like this, maybe the man would be killed.
"You bastards! Know who I am? Damn it, I'm going to kill you! As soon as the Gestapo stopped, the Poles, who had been lying on the ground wailing, began to curse and curse again.
"I care who you are." Leon glanced coldly at the Poles on the ground, and then said to the Gestapo beside him, "If he continues to curse and curse, you will continue to beat and kill me." "
"You should..." The Pole, who had just wanted to curse, heard this, forced the second half of the sentence back, pointed at Leon and the others and said, "I am the military attaché of the Polish embassy!" I swear you're done! "
Leon heard this and kicked him in the stomach, and the Pole hooked his waist in pain, unable to speak.
Leon saw him quiet down, turned to the confused grandmother, and said in a pure Chinese: "Grandma, are you alright?" I apologize to you on his behalf. "
The grandmother nodded dullly, and Leon turned to the Chinese gathered around and said, "Next time there is such a thing, you will beat him, don't let people in other countries bully." This is on the soil of your own country! "
The Chinese on the side looked at Leon and couldn't react, is this a foreigner? How to Chinese.
