Chapter 45: Iron and Blood (6)
Of course, it is impossible for Contini to invent the Three Treasures of Street Fighting that he handed over through Gian, all of which have been on the stage in real history without exception, and all he has done is to make them appear in advance.
For example, the Munich cocktail is obviously a clone of the Molotov cocktail, but this historical time and space is probably called the Sickert cocktail - Goering thought that the Munich cocktail was not loud enough, so he changed it to a Sickert cocktail, and the top brass of the National Socialist Party laughed.
Another example is the "brave drug", which was used by the United States, Germany, the Soviet Union, and Japan during World War II, and only countries with a good level of chemistry and a high value for the human spirit would think of tapping their own potential, and even the Führer himself had taken it many times, and these "military stimulants" played an immeasurable role and value on the battlefield, and as for the harm, it was caused by the abuse of later generations - probably only Goering, the unlucky guy, became fat because of morphine, and almost none of the officers and soldiers of other armies became addicted to it.
Heinrich Böll, who served in the Polish campaign and later won the first Nobel Prize for Literature in the post-war Federal Republic of Germany in 1972, wrote letters asking for "methamphetamine" during the war. So Contini didn't have any psychological burden on this - these were originally introduced to treat morphine addiction, and now morphine is still a regular legal drug, even in the 1940s, American officers and soldiers had morphine in their first-aid kits for analgesia.
In this world, it is always unrestrained abuse that goes wrong.
(PS: About drug abuse during the war, interested book friends can go to Baidu to learn about it, I won't introduce it much, lest there are people with a sense of justice who can't stand it, they don't understand that history is changing, the times are moving forward, and they only have black and white in their minds except for paste, why don't you report the ancients 14-year-old girls getting married and having sex together, isn't this a blatant violation of underage girls?) In addition, regarding the word Drug, the postmodern master Jacques Derrida has delicately deconstructed (deconstruction) in the article "Plato's Medicine", believing that this word is biintentional in the context - it can both cure and save people, and it can also be poison, so as to conclude that "there is nothing outside the text", after learning to deconstructivism, you can doubt your own life and past history, and your mind will immediately show an unprecedented new world, which can be called a great creation every second - I'm embarrassed to digress, and I almost sold my graduate school of intellectual history again. )
Another example is Flying Thunder, people who know at a glance understand that this is a "cannon without conscience", as an expert in "Iron Ambition", it is natural to evaluate the combat effectiveness of different forces, "no conscience cannon" is a big bonus weapon, otherwise why add points to high combat effectiveness in the game?
Contini has always praised this, and is very concerned about the special use of equipment by East Asian forces, otherwise how could an Italian understand such as the sweep of the shell gun and the production of a cannon without conscience? In this regard, he is much stronger than his old colleague Hoffman, who is full of special weapons and black technology, and Contini is full of local methods and adapts to local conditions - without him, Italy is not like the Germans, who are too difficult to climb the technology tree and like to take shortcuts.
Göring was deeply satisfied with the experience himself, and brought the "Three Treasures of Street Fighting" to Hitler, who was also overjoyed and nodded his head again and again. So that night, the Bavarian Flying Thunder and Sickert cocktails began to be manufactured in large quantities, and Goering was not stingy at this time, and took out the dollars that he had planned to accumulate as his wife's book to buy flour, gasoline, white phosphorus, explosives, etc., and Comrade Hermann was still very open-minded at the critical moment - mainly because people are not fat now, they have not tasted power, and there is still a ruthlessness!
Just as Munich was in full swing to fight the battle to defend the city, the reply from Greece also returned to Italy, and the Greeks, looking at the face of the British government, reluctantly agreed to accept mediation, but refused to pay $30 million, believing that Dingtian could only pay 3 million in compensation, and nothing more. No matter how the British ambassador persuaded him, the Greeks just bit 3 million and refused to let go.
As soon as this news reached Rome, Mussolini went berserk: 3 million? Calling Hanako? The cost of dispatching the navy and troops is almost 3 million, not to mention the domestic mobilization. The British, too, had a headache, and could not understand the Greek virtue of asking for money, but now began to sympathize with the Italians.
Mussolini was so distracted that he gathered his men to discuss and immediately came up with a new idea:
First, the control of daily necessities in Corfu, all the daily necessities such as grain, flour, salt, and matches in the shops were confiscated by the troops stationed on the island, and then began to be sold at a price of 100 times higher - robbery and murder are too ugly, and price control is always possible, right?
Second, send the air force to drop leaflets and tell the Greeks that if they are so arrogant and unreasonable, they will drop bombs next time!
Third, Turkey and Bulgaria were invited to participate in joint exercises in the eastern Mediterranean, with Turkey and Bulgaria contributing their armies and Italy's navy and air force cooperating.
Balbo frowned: "Leader, I think the second and third articles are fine, isn't this first one a little bad, if the Greeks can't afford to buy it, won't they starve to death or other unspeakable tragic things?" Isn't it detrimental to the image of the country that happens between two civilized countries? ”
Mussolini smiled: "It's okay, Calais gave me the idea, when the Greeks almost run out of money, we can lend to them, in the form of dollars, signed by the local municipal officials and repaid by the Greek government, unless the Greeks don't want Corfu anymore, otherwise they have to pay it back to me." ”
Everyone gasped: it turned out that this idea was come up with a "quasi-horse", and it was really ruthless.
Old Ziano shook his head: his son is gone on the road of intrigue and intrigues, alas, a junior who is only 20 years old......
Little did they know that dealing with the Greeks was only a small matter, and that the intrigues against the Berlin garrison would be ruthless.
On 18 December, General Georg Wetzel finally arrived in Munich with the "enthusiastic help" of the railway workers, and the march that could have been completed in one day was forced to drag on to four days, so that the National Socialist Party in Munich not only calmly assembled and evacuated the ordinary citizens, but also prepared a net against the regular army.
In the afternoon of the same day, representatives of both sides made contact outside the city, and the negotiations ended unhappily, and Wetzel ordered the siege of the city, and since Munich was no longer deprived of medieval walls and fortresses, he did not order the artillery (mainly mountain artillery) to open fire, but sent the troops into two directions towards the town hall, preparing to end the ridiculous farce as soon as possible.
But Goering gave him a great surprise, when the officers and men of the garrison marched in battle formation, countless roars suddenly popped out from the streets and alleys and all kinds of buildings, and then there was a loud "boom", and hundreds of flying thunder guns that had been aimed at fixed angles threw out deadly explosive packs, which rained down on the garrison's array, and then exploded violently.
"They have artillery? That's impossible! Wetzel exclaimed!
