Chapter 63: Japan

Over the weekend, Leon and a few of his cronies went to a secret army camp on the outskirts of Berlin.

"Ludwig, how long has it been since I've been here?" Leon sighed a little.

"Chairman, you haven't been back for more than two years." Ludwig said respectfully that now the party members no longer call Lyon a general, but as chairman.

"Time flies." "When I brought these children back two years ago, they were twelve or thirteen years old, and now they are all teenagers. ”

"Chairman, you'll be able to see them again soon, I've put Armand on hold for a day, and they're waiting for you in the auditorium now."

Leon smiled and quickened his pace towards the auditorium.

Arriving at the door of the auditorium, Leon stopped, straightened his clothes, and walked in with his head held high.

"Hi Andres!" The people who were sitting neatly in the auditorium saw Leon walk in, and immediately stood up, neatly raised their right arms 45 degrees, put their fingers together and straight forward, and shouted loudly in a frenzy.

This ritual is the famous German rite, which originated in ancient Rome. In this lifetime, it was adopted by Lyon as the party of the People's Will.

Leon replied with a standard German salute, then smiled and said, "Everyone sit down." ”

When everyone heard this, they all folded their arms and sat back in their seats in unison, like a group of robots.

"We haven't seen each other in two years, haven't we?" When Leon saw that everyone was seated, he said, "Two years ago, you were all a bunch of children, and you didn't have a single Leon in your hands. But now? You've all become fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, and your two years of special training here have given you the power to take revenge. ”

"As you all know, a few days ago I founded the People's Will Party. And you became its first members, working for the life of the German people, along with me and many other members of the People's Will. But there are always some moths of the people who think that we have formed the People's Will Party in order to control Germany. ”

"Many of you have been able to stand alone, so this time I came back to select a group of people over the age of 15 from among you to join the Gestapo army and cleanse those enemies of the people for the sake of our motherland."

The young people in the audience still sat upright, as if the sky was falling, and they would not move. However, there was an occasional flash of excitement in their eyes, and they wordlessly told Leon that they were eager to fight for Leon.

Leon looked at them with satisfaction, and then continued to talk to them about the current situation and future plans of Germany.

Before I knew it, it was lunchtime, and Leon looked at the time, finished speaking, and then went to the cafeteria with the group of young soldiers for lunch.

After lunch, Leon specially called Armand and asked him to arrange the candidates for the new troops, and then he planned to leave for Berlin.

Before leaving, Leon hesitated to ask Armand, "How is Manfred?" ”

"Manfred has always been one of the best kids in the group." Armand replied, "I deliberately arranged his training program, which was half as much as the other kids. At first he couldn't complete some of the projects, but after a while he was able to complete all the training projects I had arranged, and in the end, he was able to complete 1.5 times his training volume in the time of other children. I have to say, this kid is really working hard. ”

"yes, he's always been one of my favorites." Leon said with satisfaction, "This kid knows how to forbear, knows how to grit his teeth and persevere." That's it, you let him pass this selection, it's time for him to come out of the cage. ”

"Of course." Armand smiled and said, "Even if you don't say it, I'll let him join, I don't have anything left to teach him." ”

In the afternoon, Lyon, sitting in the War Department, welcomed a special guest, the Japanese ambassador to Germany, Shigetoku Togo.

Although Leon did not have a good impression of the Japanese for some reason, he met with Shigetoku Togo out of politeness.

"General Leon, I am honored that you have taken time out of your busy schedule to meet me." Although Shigetoku Togo was the ambassador to Germany, he still put his position very low.

Leon smiled secretly, and then said solemnly, "I don't know why Mr. Togo Maude suddenly came to visit me today. ”

"General Leon, our Imperial Japanese Empire has always had great respect for your country, and your country is one of our best friends." Togo Shide nodded and said, "Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor specially asked me to visit you to see if you and I can carry out some more in-depth cooperation in the economic and military fields." ”

"Oh? Shouldn't you go to President Hindenburg on these matters? Why did you come to me? Leon asked, playfully.

"Because you are a hero of your country, and it is you who have freed your country from the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles, you will definitely become the leader of Germany in the future. Moreover, most of the big capitalists in your country choose to support you. ”

The little devil's eyes were really vicious, Leon thought to himself, the previous touting of Togo Maude was just to curry favor with Leon, and the reason why he came to Leon was only the latter sentence.

Although Japan is a militaristic country, they are well aware of the power of capital, so Togo Maud did not go to the current German President Hindenburg, but directly to Lyon, which is supported by the big German capitalists.

"Mr. Togo Shitoku praised it falsely." Leon smiled hypocritically, "It's just that I really don't understand the economic aspect, and we can talk about the military aspect later." ”

Togo Maud didn't feel that Leon's smile was fake, on the contrary, he felt that Leon was already full of affection for himself after being praised by himself. So he smiled thickly: "General Lyon, we will talk about economic cooperation later." First of all, let's talk about military cooperation, and we plan to send a group of students to your country to learn Germany's advanced military technology and tactical concepts. ”

Leon smiled and nodded, it's easy to talk about international students, so you should give face.

"Then I would like your country to provide us with some design drawings for tanks and machine guns, and of course, in return, we will also provide you with some drawings of other weapons that we are good at."

Lyon was overjoyed to hear this, although most of Japan's weapons were lagging behind Germany, but now Japan's torpedoes were far ahead of other countries, and the eight-year-old torpedo they successfully developed in 1921 is still proud of the others, which made Lyon drool. As for the tank drawings used for exchange, wouldn't it be appropriate to castrate the No. 1 tank a little and then add a 20mm gun? Machine guns are even better, and the MG08/15 light machine gun of World War I is still an advanced weapon for today's Japan.

"Yes, we can provide you with drawings for the MG08/15 light machine gun and our own tank No. 1 (in fact, tank No. 1 has long been phased out), and you only need to provide us with your eight-year No. 2 610mm torpedo." Leon said magnanimously.

In fact, he took a very big advantage, because the No. 2 torpedo of the eight-year type is the most advanced torpedo in Japan today, and the range is a huge 10 kilometers. Compared with the current German G/6D 500 mm torpedo, whether in terms of charge, or range, or in the torpedo trail (the smaller the torpedo trail, the more difficult it is to detect and the more difficult it is to avoid).

And the No. 1 tank and MG08/15 provided by Germany are weapons that have been eliminated by Germany, not to mention that Lyon plans to castrate No. 1 tank. Of course, even so, these two weapons will be of great help to Japan to improve its own weapons level.

"Thank you very much!" Dongxiang Maode was overjoyed, and stood up with a 90Β° bow, "We still have one last request, that is, please stop providing weapons and technology to China, and we will compensate you for your country's losses." ”
