Chapter 30: To the Soviet Union Again
Early the next morning, Lyon turned on the radio, and in two hours, Hindenburg would address the people listening to the radio at the entrance of the Reichstag.
Before the time came, Leon somehow remembered Sophia's worry about himself and the shyness of the back last night.
Leon had never been in love in his previous life, so he didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Sophia, but he just thought that this girl was very good, and he sometimes had the desire to protect her. Thinking about it, the time passed unconsciously, and Hindenburg's voice came over the radio: "Ladies and gentlemen who are listening to the radio, I am Field Marshal Hindenburg of the Wehrmacht, and I want to convey to you the sad news that Mr. Friedrich Ebert, the respected President of the Weimar Republic and the Servant of the People of Germany, died of a heart attack last night. He was a good husband and father at home, a good leader and a good colleague at work, but God took him away from us, and we are deeply saddened. But Germany still had to move forward, so the Reichstag informed me at the first time that I would take over the presidency of the Republic. I hereby swear to continue Mr. Albert's unfulfilled legacy of fighting for a better standard of living and to lead Germany back to glory. ”
Hearing this, Leon turned off the radio, and he had to prepare for the Soviet Union again tomorrow.
Before Hindenburg's speech, the Reichstag convened an emergency session, and it has to be said that Hindenburg's influence in the Reichstag was huge, and although everyone was well aware of Albert's death, the Reichstag still confirmed that Hindenburg would take over the presidency of the Republic by 73% of the votes, and Lyon's proposal for cooperation between the Wehrmacht and the Soviet Union was also passed because of Hindenburg's operation.
More than 140 people, including more than 80 pilots who had previously gone to the Soviet Union for training, will leave for the Soviet Union tomorrow on nine transport planes, and the interpreter for Lyon will still be the secretary Sophia.
After quickly packing his bags, Leon sat on the bed in a daze, thinking about the helplessness he had when he first came into this world, and now that Hindenburg has become president, he has completely controlled the Wehrmacht, and it all seems like a dream. Leon has thought about walking away many times, anyway, the money and status in his hands are enough for his carefree life, but when he really wants to make up his mind, he can't let go.
After taking out Germany's own biggest stumbling block Albert last night, Lyon understood that he could no longer live the life of an ordinary person, and with the hope of too many people on his shoulders, the only way to get out of it was to defeat all opponents and lead Germany to rise again.
In fact, looking back now, everything Lyon did slowly changed from for himself to for Germany, and he cooperated with Hitler only for his own desires and for his own higher status. Later, he joined the War Department and began to work hard to make the Wehrmacht more combative. In the future, he did not hesitate to risk the secret creation of tank troops, stained the blood of his own people for the development of the Air Force, forced Strauss, who was kind to him, to give way to himself, to develop the Gestapo to liquidate traitors, to get rid of Albert, who disagreed with him.
Leon has unwittingly changed from an ordinary Chinese young man named Xia Wen to an iron-blooded leader of the Wehrmacht named Leon Andrés.
Leon smiled helplessly, self-deprecating to himself, don't be naïve, when the first drop of blood is stained on his hand, this road is doomed to be no turning back.
Thinking about it, Leon slowly fell asleep, he almost didn't close his eyes a few days ago, and it was already the limit to last until now.
"Leon! Lyons! "There is a crisp whisper in my ears, how can anyone enter my house?! Leon snapped his eyes open, and immediately rolled to the side and drew the pistol at his waist. Seeing the pistol pointed at her, the girl was not afraid at all, because Leon did not know how many times he had scared her, and the girl was none other than Sophia.
Leon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who was in front of him, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that the Gestapo, who was protecting himself in the shadows, should have recognized Sophia and let her into his room.
Putting away the gun, Leon was a little embarrassed and said, "Hey, Sophia, what are you doing with me?" ”
Sophia was a little speechless: "Didn't you tell me to leave for the USSR today?" ”
Leon hurriedly looked at the watch in his hand, eight o'clock in the morning?! I've been asleep for twenty-two hours! There was still half an hour left before the scheduled departure time, Leon hurriedly ran to the bathroom to brush his teeth, wash his face and change clothes, although he was the boss, no one would say that he was late, but as a leader, it was too much to be late.
After quickly tidying up, Leon seemed to be in a lot of energy, Sophia silently carried Leon's luggage, and drove to the suburban airport with Leon. Although Germany cannot own military aircraft now, the Treaty of Versailles does not stipulate that Germany cannot have civil airlines, so Lyon bought a troubled aircraft factory called Bavaria Aircraft Factory after returning from the Soviet Union last time, which was originally facing closure due to lack of orders, and the boss heard that someone was willing to take over, so he sold it to Lyon at a very low price, along with its parent company, Bavarian Maschinenbau.
Not many people have heard of the name of the Bavarian Aircraft Factory, but if it is the name of the future, many people will know it, it is the predecessor of the future Messerschmidt, and the abbreviation of the Bavarian Maschinenfabrik is even more famous - BMW!
Yes, it's BMW! Of course, they are not as famous now, and they are even in trouble.
After the acquisition, Lyon was tasked with producing a total of 40 transport aircraft and began secretly developing more advanced aircraft engines.
After the first few transport planes were off the production line and passed strict safety inspections, Lyon spent tens of millions of marks to create a civil airline called Lufthansa with these transport planes as the core.
However, it is called a civil airline, in fact, it is mainly for the secret training of air force pilots, but there are too few planes and too many people, and most pilots can still only join the private flying club to fly unpowered gliders to practice, of course, these "civil flying clubs" actually have Lyon behind them.
The plane on which Lyon and others went to the USSR today was the Lufthansa plane.
By the time they arrived at the airport, more than a hundred people were already waiting for Lyon in a neat line by the tarmac.
Leon was a little embarrassed and looked at his watch, but it was okay, he was almost late. When one of the colonels who led the team saw Leon arriving, he ran to Leon and gave a military salute and shouted, "Report to the General!" The Wehrmacht should have reached 144 people, but it was 144 people, please instruct! Leon nodded, looked at the more than 100 people lined up, cleared his throat, and said, "Good morning, everyone! I'm sure many of you have read Air Supremacy, published a year ago by General Giulio Duhey of Italy, and I personally very much agree with General Duhei's views on the future of war. The war of the future is no longer limited to the ground and the sea, the sky is the main battlefield! In the future war, whoever wins air supremacy will win half of the victory, this truth is not only understood by us, but also by our enemies, so they clearly stipulated in the Treaty of Versailles that we cannot have an air force, but the great Germany will not cut off its arms because of a treaty! Today you are the first warriors to break this treaty. You are now leaving your homeland to train in the Soviet Union so that the German Air Force can fly freely in the skies of your homeland in the future! ”
After listening to this impassioned speech, the pilots below couldn't help but get their blood pumping, and they couldn't help but be eager to devote themselves to the hard training now.
Yes, I left my hometown so that others could soar in the sky of my homeland in the future.
"Everyone! Turn right! Boarding! When the officer in charge saw that Leon had finished speaking, he gave the order to set off, and everyone turned right neatly and set out on the road to leave their hometown.
