"Fuhrer, I'm sorry." Ludwig returned to Lyon's hospital bed, "It was my incompetence that allowed the target to die in front of me, only to pry out the inner ghost from the Frenchman's mouth with the code name 'Spiny Snake'." "
On the hospital bed, Leon's face was much better than half a month ago, "It's okay, this thorny snake can't run away." You tell Hans Luther to lift the border blockade and restore the country to normalcy. "
"Fuhrer, won't unlocking the border blockade let the thorny snake run out of the country?" Ludwig wondered.
"Hehe, he doesn't dare to move." Leon laughed, "He's all around us, and we can be found just by moving." Smart as a thorny snake, he will not fail to understand this, he will definitely choose to lie dormant and standby. "
"Okay then, I'll give Hans Luther the order later." Ludwig nodded in response.
"Also, my injury has stabilized, you can find a hospital for me in Berlin, and then contact Milch to arrange a plane to take me back to Berlin."
"Fuhrer, you, it's better to stay in Kir for a while." Ludwig persuaded, "Berlin is not very peaceful, the thorn snake must be in Berlin, I am afraid that he will launch another assassination of you." "
"I believe you, Ludwig." Leon said, "If the Assassins could approach me again, you wouldn't be called Ludwig."
Ludwig was very moved to hear this, he stood up and gave a German salute, and said loudly: "Long live the Fuhrer!" I'll arrange it. "
Milchy quickly arranged for a G.38 transport plane to pick up Lyon after receiving orders from Lyon.
In the evening, Lyon, lying in his hospital bed, returned to Berlin.
After sending a car back to Lyon, the hospital was surrounded by Wehrmacht and SS troops, and under such defense, it would be hell if there were still assassins who could enter.
And the "thorn snake" was as Leon expected, there was no more movement, as if it had disappeared.
The top brass of the People's Will Party, who are under house arrest, are also there
Each returned to his post, but everyone was secretly watched by the Gestapo.
Leon also got a rare break, and he declined all requests for visitation, but Sophia was accompanied every day.
A month and a half later, Lyon was discharged from the hospital and returned home to recuperate.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 1926 passes, and in the midst of the flowers, Lyon ushers in a new 1927.
As soon as the year passed, the idle and fast-haired Leon removed the bandages and returned to the presidential palace.
"Welcome back, my Fuhrer." Hans Luther said to Leon, who had returned from injury.
"Haha, it feels good to come back." Leon laughed, returning to the presidential palace made him feel high.
"How? How is our Wehrmacht developing? Is everything in order? Leon asked about the long-lost Wehrmacht.
"On the whole everything is fine, but Colonel Rommel of the Panzer has complained to us many times about the lack of performance of tank number two in all aspects." Hans Luther sorted out the situation in the past six months and said.
"Well, tank number two is indeed outdated." Leon nodded, "It's time to launch the 'Tank Three' program." Send the 'Tank Three' proposal to MAN, Porsche, BMW and Mercedes and ask them to provide me with a prototype within two months. "
"Oh, by the way, the Wehrmacht also received opinions from quite a few officers and men at the grassroots level, saying that their automatic fire is too weak, and they hope to have a new machine gun."
"New machine guns?" Leon repeated, "You help me contact the Mauser company, and I will go over tomorrow to discuss the design of the new machine gun with them." "
"Okay." Hans Luther nodded, "Fuhrer, it seems that I am more suitable to be a secretary." "
"Haha." Leon laughed and joked, "Then you secretary is too good to manage a country in order." "
The next day, Lyon arrived at Mauser Arms Manufacturing AG in Oberndorf with a vote of SS.
Mauser is Germany's largest firearms manufacturing company, dating back to July 31, 1811, when King Frederick I of Württemberg established a royal arsenal in Oberndorf, a small town in the Black Forest of Germany, which began operations the following year, employing 133 workers and producing weapons specifically for the Prussian army. The two brothers who founded the Mauser company, William Mauser and Paul Mauser, followed their father as apprentices in the factory from an early age, and it was then that the brothers began to try to design rifles.
In 1867, the Mauser brothers designed a rear-loading single-shot gun with a rotating locking bolt based on the French Chacepo rear-loading gun, which was adopted by the German army in 1871 and named the Type 71 rifle, the first Mauser rifle in history, and they became famous.
Later, when William Mauser died in 1882, Paul Mauser began his own path of designing firearms alone.
As the reputation of the Mauser rifle grew, Paul Mauser gradually took full control of the shares of the Royal Arsenal, and finally reorganized the Royal Arsenal into the Mauser Weapons Manufacturing Joint Stock Company in 1897.
The following year, he introduced the famous Mauser Model 1898 rifle, which is now the standard rifle in Germany.
Paul Mauser died in 1914, and today the Mauser company is run by his son.
"My Fuhrer, it's a pleasure to meet you." At the door of the Mauser Company, the current president of the company, John Mauser.
"Haha, Mr. Mauser, I'm glad to meet you too." Leon and John shook hands.
"Fuhrer, shall we go in and talk?" After making a gesture of invitation to the company, John took Leon into the company.
As soon as you step into the Mauser company, the first thing that catches Lyon's attention is the classic rifle on the lobby display shelf, from the earliest Type 71 rifle to the latest G98.
"They represent the full glory of my father and uncle, so I put them all here to remind me to work hard." John explained to Leon.
"Well, William Mauser and Mr. Paul Mauser are really a generation of famous teachers." Leon exclaimed.
"I heard that the Fuhrer wants us to develop a new machine gun this time?" John Mauser brought the topic back to business, "I wonder if the new machine gun is a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun?" "
"Neither, or both." Leon said inscrutably
"Isn't it all of them? Fuhrer, you confused me. John was a little speechless.
"I'm going to name it a universal machine gun." Leon explains, "It's a light machine gun when it's equipped with a bipod and a heavy machine gun when it's equipped with a tripod!"
