Tank No. 1

　　Time flies, three months have passed since Lyon last visited the two members of the Military Supervision Bureau.

　　During this period of time, the British and French governments have clearly defined the policy of attracting Germany to their side, and the military supervision bureau has become an undercurrent.

　　And the Wehrmacht is also developing steadily, and Lyon has used his rights to find Heinz Wilhelm Guderian and Erwin Rommel, the three future famous generals who would have to eat ashes in the corner for several years.

　　These two people were originally full of interest and yearning for the secret German armored forces, especially Guderian, who worked in the Army Transport Department, even expressed and highly praised Lyon in public several times: "Lieutenant Colonel Lyon of the War Department is one of the very few geniuses in Germany now" and "Lieutenant Colonel Lyon is my idol, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely have a drink with him" and so on.

　　Of course, Guderian did not directly mention the secret armored forces of the Wehrmacht, otherwise even if the relationship between Britain and France is now flawed, the two countries will definitely sanction Germany if they try to win over Germany.

　　That's right, the German army now has a secret armored unit, not a "tractor unit", and after provoking the relationship between the two members of the Military Supervision Bureau, Lyon has already informed Polschet to immediately design a light tank weighing about 5 tons, equipped with two 92mm light machine guns, and traveling more than 140 kilometers for the German army.

　　Due to the simplicity of the requirements made by the Wehrmacht, the first prototype was designed and built after more than a month. When Leon received the news that the tank had been designed and the first prototype had been built, he took Lieutenant General Strauss, Manstein and others to Porsche Motor Manufacturing in Stuttgart to see the prototype.

　　It has to be said that Polsher is worthy of being a master of car design, he understands the current situation of the Wehrmacht, so he does not use how heavy armor, but pays attention to the mobility of the tank, close to 40 kilometers per hour speed far exceeds the French Renault FT17 tank and the British "Greyhound Racing tank" tank of the same period, although the No. 1 tank with only 2 92mm light machine guns in firepower is not comparable to the Renault and Greyhound with 37mm guns, but it is more in line with the current strategic requirements of the German army.

　　Lieutenant General Strauss felt very satisfied after reading it, and immediately informed Field Marshal Hindenburg, who agreed to the German army to secretly equip new weapons, and immediately ordered 50 No. 1 tanks from Porsche Motor Manufacturing after receiving a clear answer.

　　Two months later, Porsche Motor Manufacturing secretly delivered the first batch of 20 No. 1 tanks to the military under the name of "agricultural light tractors", and Lyon, who was fully responsible for this matter, handed over these No. 1 tanks to Manstein and formed the 1st Tank Regiment of the Wehrmacht. And the 30 tanks that have not yet been delivered Lyon intends to give 20 of them to Guderian and the other 10 to Rommel to form the 2nd and 3rd tank regiments, respectively.

　　It is worth pondering for others that after the formation of the 1st Wehrmacht Tank Regiment, Lyon did not put him in Berlin, but sent him to Munich, 588 kilometers from Berlin.

　　In the face of Lieutenant General Strauss's questions, Lyon called it to avoid the Military Inspectorate, in fact, only he knows the reason - his "ally" Hitler's activities in Munich are increasing, and he must show his strength there, hoping to check Hitler's terrible fascism.

　　The time soon came to the end of March, and Lyon, who was working on the latest training plan of the Wehrmacht in the War Department, welcomed a beautiful woman.

　　After knocking on the door and walking into Leon's office, she smiled sweetly at Leon: "Are you Mr. Leon Andrés?" Leon looked at the beauty in front of him suspiciously and said, "Yes, I am Leon, may I ask you?" "

　　The beautiful woman sat half-sitting on Leon's desk in a seductive pose: "It doesn't matter who I am, do you see my beauty?" "

　　Leon frowned, he has been intriguing in the military and political circles for so long, he is no longer the little white who first came to this world, Leon understands that this woman must not have a good heart behind it, and in the face of this kind of thing, the best way to deal with it is to wipe the cheap food sent up, and then return the fish hook to the opponent.

　　So Leon smiled evilly, stood up and touched the beautiful woman's face, leaned in to her ear and said: "Of course it's beautiful, how?" Want something to happen to me? The girl blushed and hurriedly stood up.

　　Leon saw that the cheap was almost taken, so he made a cold face, pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the girl's forehead, and said lightly: "Say, who are you?" Who sent you? Sophia hurriedly raised her hand, her face pale with fright: "I'm sorry, Colonel Leon, I shouldn't have made fun of you." I am Sophia Strauss, and the General has sent me as your secretary and translator. "

　　Hearing this, Leon put away his pistol and said in surprise: "Colonel?!" "

　　Seeing Leon put away the pistol, Sophia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said dissatisfiedly: "Yes, this is your promotion order." As he spoke, he handed Leon a document that stated that Lieutenant Colonel Leon Andrés, Wehrmacht, had been promoted to Colonel of the Wehrmacht because of his recent excellence in some areas.

　　Leon looked at the promotion order in his hand and thought in his heart: he has not been promoted for more than half a year since his last promotion, and he has been promoted again, obviously Lieutenant General Strauss's military status has been greatly improved, and the Sophia sent in front of him obviously has two aspects: First, his performance is too outstanding, which has caused Lieutenant General Strauss to be wary, and Sophia is sent to his side to monitor him. Second, in order to further consolidate the relationship between the two, Lieutenant General Strauss used Sophia as a reward to win him over.

　　Leon sighed, he finally began to arouse the alarm of the big man, especially the last time Leon put Manstein's 1st Wehrmacht armored regiment in Munich and Manstein completely obeyed his orders, which gave others the impression that this unit did not belong to Germany but to Leon himself.

　　Especially coupled with the fact that the future Guderry Installation A Second Regiment and Rommel Panzer Third Regiment will inevitably obey Lyon's orders, it makes the German top even more alert, thanks to the fact that Germany does not have such a good armored commander as those three at this stage, and also depends on Lyon to rearm the Wehrmacht, I am afraid that the top level and even Lieutenant General Strauss himself have long ago set aside Lyon or even directly started.

　　But there are also advantages, that is, he was promoted to colonel. Leon suddenly remembered that Sophia had mentioned a position in addition to being her own secretary, translator.
