Chapter 24: The Shadow Army

The next day, Ludwig arrived on time outside his office in Lyon.

Leon was writing something when he heard a knock at the door and answered the signal that he could come in.

Ludwig pushed the door open and said to Leon, "Sir, I'm here." ”

Leon looked up and saw that it was Ludwig, smiled and said, "It's just right, you come here." Then he shoved the plan he had written in front of Ludwig.

"Project Shadow?" Ludwig frowned and read the words on the cover.

"Yes, Project Shadow." Leon said solemnly, "I plan to form a unit that is directly responsible to me, which is not part of the Wehrmacht and is more effective than the Wehrmacht's infantry." It would ostensibly be a police force. ”

"Police force?" Ludwig was a little confused, "But isn't the entire Wehrmacht under your command?" Why would you still need a private army? ”

"Who do you think we lost in the last war?" Leon asked, looking at Ludwig.

"Of course, we lost to those politicians and those capitalists, we obviously defeated Russia, and we still occupied the land of France, only to surrender because of the defeat of the Paris offensive! It was they who betrayed our country! When it came to the last war, Ludwig couldn't suppress his anger, and it was because of the sudden surrender that the squad leader and his brothers died so aggrieved.

"Yes, it's because of them." Leon sneered and said, "After all, the Wehrmacht is the army of the country, and I can't use the army against those corrupt politicians and greedy capitalists." So I need a force hidden in the shadows, and it must be completely in my hands so that we can pick up the traitors who betrayed us! ”

Leon looked at Ludwig after speaking, Ludwig understood what Leon meant, he stood up and said loudly: "Sir! I'm willing to be its commander, and I'll be loyal to you only! Only, will my family be retaliated against? ”

Leon patted Ludwig on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The reason why I destroyed all your information to give you a new identity is to protect the people around you, is there any problem?" ”

"There's no sir!" Ludwig replied reassuringly.

Leon nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, I have already trained the personnel of the troops, there are 600 people, all of them are veterans, and I will equip them with the most advanced weapons and equipment." As for the name of the unit, I haven't thought of it yet. ”

Ludwig's heart moved, and he suddenly thought: "It's better to call the state secret police, or Gestapo for short." ”

"The Gestapo? You're its commander, just do as you say. Leon nodded, "The troops are now training outside the city, and you will soon be able to command it." ”

When Ludwig heard this, he nodded gratefully, he finally had his own troops, and he could use them to avenge his brother, Ludwig had never felt so hopeful, and Leon had become his everything in his heart.

The Gestapo, a unit that had been feared in the last life, was formed, and its commanders were loyal to Lyon.

Joseph was a merchant, a well-known merchant worth tens of millions to be exact. Originally, Joseph only owned a food factory worth hundreds of thousands of marks, and was responsible for providing military food for the army of the Second German Reich in the last war, but the strange thing is that when other factories that provided military supplies for the empire went bankrupt due to defeat, he unusually acquired several food factories, and even bought a shipyard on the verge of bankruptcy in Kiel, which increased his capital explosively dozens of times, but no one knows where this terrible capital came from.

At the moment, the rich man is lying in a luxurious estate on the outskirts of Berlin, sleeping soundly with two sexy girls in his arms.

Without warning, the shots rang out in the manor, and the sleeping Joseph rolled to the ground in fright, while the two women screamed. Joseph calmed down and returned to bed, his trembling hands showing that his master was still in extreme fear.

While others did not know where Joseph got the money, Joseph himself knew very well that he had sold his empire in exchange. In the last war, he used various reasons to slow down the production of food in the factory, and what was even more hateful was that he used his connections in the army's logistics department to spy on the type, quantity, and destination of military supplies delivered by the logistics department, and provided them to the Entente in exchange for a huge amount of wealth.

He knew that the secret might one day be known, but he could not afford to leave his staggering wealth and flee to other countries.

"Don't worry, baby, my manor has more than 400 heavily armed bodyguards, even an infantry battalion can't easily break it, hold on for a while, the Military Supervision Bureau promises to provide me with protection, and then I will take you out of this damn country." Joseph slowly calmed down and began to comfort the two naked girls lying next to him, and then began to collect the money he could take with him.

He was reluctant to give up his wealth, but he was even more reluctant to give up his life, so he secretly hired a large number of armed bodyguards to ensure his safety, and what reassured him more than the bodyguards was the assurance given to him by the Military Supervision Bureau, guaranteeing that if he was discovered, the Military Supervision Bureau would escort him out of the country as soon as possible, so Joseph, who had calmed down, began to fantasize about his future life in France or England.

But the situation did not seem to go the way Joseph had intended, and the fierce gunfire outside continued for a while, and began to slowly approach the main building where Joseph was, and began to slowly weaken, and finally stopped.

Joseph sensed something was wrong, why did his guard collapse so quickly? Before he had time to think about it, he grabbed the sorted bank check and some cash and rushed out the door.

"Bang!" The door opened.

But it was not Joseph who opened it, Joseph raised his hands and slowly retreated to the bedroom, he was not willing to give up, but there was no way, at this time, the rifles in the hands of those standing at the door were obviously stronger than the checks in Joseph's hands.

"Hey, where do you want to go?" The man in black at the head smiled and said to Joseph.

"Who are you? You are trespassing! I'll call the police! Do you know who I am? The president has to give me three points of face! Joseph exclaimed.

"First and foremost, we are the police." The man took out his badge and shook it in front of Joseph, then continued: "Then of course we know who you are and what you do. Joseph von Wagner – Oh hell, you're still a nobleman. The boss of the Wagner Group, which has three food companies under his control and a shipbuilding company that can build 10,000-ton freighters, worth 60 million Reichsmarks, is also a member of Parliament, and his political party is the Social Democrats. Well, you can get the president to give you three points. ”

"Haha, do you know you're scared? ! Tomorrow the Wehrmacht will come to you! Joseph thought that the people in front of him were frightened, and shouted exaggeratedly, but he ignored that they were all coming to the door, and he was obviously not afraid of him.

"Wehrmacht? Do you say them? The man in black walked over to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom and pulled back the curtains that had been covered.

Joseph's mouth opened wide because there were 20 tanks parked on the well-groomed lawn downstairs! Guderian's 2nd Wehrmacht Tank Regiment!

"Tank?! You're even equipped with tanks?! Joseph exclaimed incredulously, "Idiots of the Military Supervision Bureau! They're all tricked! Then he changed his arrogant attitude and said pitifully: "Let me go, I can give you everything and spare my life!" ”

"Well, as long as you sign these transfer agreements, I can not kill you." The man in black seemed to be moved, nodded and said.

"Good, good! No problem! I'll sign! As if holding on to a life-saving straw, Joseph hurriedly took the pen and the agreement, and signed it as fast as he had ever done before, thinking to himself, you have violated the Treaty of Versailles, and I will be able to get these things back later when the people from the Military Supervision Bureau come to see what you do.

The man in black watched with satisfaction as the agreements were signed, then put them away, turned around and walked towards the door, suddenly he seemed to think of something, smiled and turned to Joseph, who was very happy and said, "By the way, I just promised you that I would not kill you, but I didn't promise that the others would not kill you." Hahaha! Remember, don't betray Germany again in the next life! He laughed and walked out the door, despite Joseph's vicious curse and the sound of several gunshots.

This is not only happening in Berlin, but almost everywhere in the country, when 600 Gestapo groups went to various parts of the country to hunt down traitors who had betrayed their homeland, and with the assistance of the Wehrmacht, a well-known local figure was hanged in their homes, and a huge fortune in their name went to the name in the agreement - Leon AndrΓ©s!
