Chapter XV: The Soviet Union

"You say you're still my translator? Why do I need a translator? Leon asked, confused.

"Yes, I am still your interpreter, and before General Strauss sent me, he told me to let you prepare, and in early April I would let you follow the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Soviet Union as a military representative and adviser." Sophia said with an unhappy face, and muttered: "Really, how could the general send me to be the secretary of this cold-faced man, it's really annoying, and he pointed a gun at me just now......"

Leon has always had good ears, and he couldn't help but cry and laugh at Sophia, and then said with a secret smile: Lieutenant General Strauss asked this girl to spy on him, did he really choose the wrong person, or did he underestimate me Leon too much? The girl's mood was written on her face. Then I seriously thought about why the military and the German government suddenly sent an envoy to the Soviet Union, and the representative of the military was still a mere colonel himself.

After thinking for a while, Leon understood a little: first of all, this mission was definitely not swaggering, most of it was a secret visit, at least the military was secretly accompanied, which is why the military representative would be a colonel himself.

Then there is the current situation of the Soviet Union is a bit similar to Germany, the socialist Soviet is obviously not accepted by Europe and Western countries controlled by the capitalists, and Germany is a defeated country in World War I, so it is openly sanctioned by European countries, so the two countries will go together to keep warm.

In the end, the former Tsarist Russia was overthrown by the Soviet Union in the middle of the last war, and the Soviet Union was forced to sign the Peace of Brest in order to withdraw from the meaningless war against the Soviet Union as soon as possible. Although Lenin announced the abrogation of the Peace of Brest in 1919, some of the problems left over from the war still needed to be resolved.

After figuring it out, Leon smiled, and Sophia felt inexplicably unhappy when she saw Leon smiling: "Hey, what do you think?" Laugh so happily. Leon raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a slight smile, "I was wondering when I was pointing a gun at your head." ”

Sophia's face turned pale, and she thought of the scene where Leon was held to her head with a gun just now, and she couldn't help but feel afraid for a while, and said silently in her heart that it would be better to provoke him less in the future.

But Leon didn't intend to let her go: "Hey, my secretary Sophia, you go and help me get my clothes and get ready for the clothes I need to go to the Soviet Union, I heard it's cold over there." ”

Sophia subconsciously refused: "Why? Don't you know how to tidy up yourself? ”

Leon felt relieved when he looked at Sophia's angry face, took out the key to his house, and said with a smile: "Because I have to arrange all the training plans of the 100,000 troops of the Wehrmacht before I leave for the Soviet Union, and you are my secretary, and the secretary's job is not only to deal with official business, but also to take care of my life." The War Department went out and turned right, and the third yard is my house, thank you. ”

Sophia was speechless, so she had to take the key from Leon's hand, and walked out of the door with a pretty little face to help Leon sort out his clothes. Seeing Sophia's bulging little face, thinking of the low-level seduction technique when they first met, Leon laughed again, and once again wondered how Lieutenant General Strauss would send her to spy on him. Then he picked up the unfinished training plan for the troops and began to write it.

On the other side, Sophia kept kicking the small stones on the side of the road angrily along the way, scolding as she walked: "Damn Leon, you actually bullied me such a beautiful girl, and cursed you for not finding a girl to like in your life!" "I have to say that Sophia is really a standard Germanic beauty, with long blond hair tied in a simple ponytail hanging down her back, 168cm tall is slightly thin, and her pink and white skin and light blue eyes look like a match.

Leon's house was very close to the War Department, and Sophia went out and turned right as Leon said, counted to the third courtyard, and arrived at the place where Leon lived.

Sophia walked into the courtyard, which had a small two-story building. Leon only lives here alone, and there should have been 3 servants to take care of Leon, but Leon can't trust others, and second, as a member of the Chinese nation in the previous life, he naturally doesn't like to let others serve, and one of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation is hard work, so Leon arranged three servants to the war department to clean up.

Sophia opened the door with the key and walked into Lyon's house, which was very clean and tidy, and Lyon was obviously cleaning the floor and wiping down furniture and belongings.

Sophia was a little surprised by this, she thought that the average single young man who lived alone would have a messy house, but Lyon's house was surprisingly clean. This made Sophia's already frowning brow stretch.

Sophia quickly found Leon's room, quickly packed a few sets of clothes and a warm coat, and then returned to the war department.

Back in the War Department, Leon was still keeping his head down and arranging the Wehrmacht's training plan for the coming quarter. The National Assembly has secretly approved the army reconstruction plan codenamed "Recast", which makes it clear that the existing 100,000 Wehrmacht will all be promoted to non-commissioned officers and enrolled in non-commissioned officer schools in batches, and 200,000 former army soldiers will be secretly arranged to train in batches in the name of farming, and the government will add 5 million Reichsmarks to the existing military spending every year to support the army to secretly equip the army with various unauthorized weapons and to provide financial support for Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Krupp and other companies to develop more advanced No. 2 tanks.

The Porsche car manufacturing company in Lyon made a lot of money with orders for the No. 1 tank in the army.

Of course, except for a few henchmen of Lyon, no one knew that the boss behind this new industrial giant was Lyon.

In early April, the weather in Moscow was getting warmer, but it was still a little cold.

At a secret military airfield somewhere in Moscow, Lyon stepped off the plane with Foreign Minister of the Weimar Republic Rathenau and others, and they were greeted by Soviet Foreign Minister Georgi. Vasilyevich. After the representatives of the two sides shook hands, Chicherin arranged for Lyon and others to stay in a hotel on the edge of Red Square and allowed the group to visit Moscow freely.

This is the first time Lyon has come to Moscow, and in the previous life, Lyon had been planning to travel to Moscow, but he never had the opportunity, and this time it was also a regret of the previous life.

Moscow in April is not as cold as Lyon had imagined at first, and the scenery is not as charming as autumn, but it is also different.

Leon, while admiring the unique scenery of Moscow, thought about the row of fighter planes he had seen next to the military airfield when he had just stepped off the plane, which made Lyon notice that he had always focused on the development of the army and neglected the development of other services, and that the training conditions of the navy and air force were more demanding than that of the army with simple training.

However, Germany, which was constrained by the Treaty of Versailles, was obviously unable to train pilots, and the role of the future combat air force was enormous, and the side that lost air supremacy was equivalent to destruction.

The problem was like a noose around Germany's neck, and Leon realized that if there was no way to cut the rope, no matter how strong the German Army was, it would be doomed to Germany not being able to regain European hegemony.
