Chapter 370: Germany Will Not Bow to It
The succession of events was a wake-up call for the Polish side, and it seemed that this was only the beginning.
Eric locked himself in his office for more than two months, and from time to time he let out bursts of unbridled laughter. Aynata was baffled by the president's unusual behavior, but she didn't dare to ask random questions.
"Justice may be late, but it is never absent!" Eric was talking to himself. On this day, when Anata went in to deliver the newspaper, she suddenly heard Eric repeating this sentence. She didn't understand what Eric meant by this, and she didn't dare to ask, so she hurriedly put down the day's newspaper and prepared to sneak out of the president's office quietly as usual.
"Come back, don't be in a hurry, my Director Aynata. Tell Miss Madina that I'm going to have a few more dishes tonight, and I'm going to have a dinner at the Presidential Palace. Eric stopped Aynata and said, "Inform Defense Secretary Walter Brauchitsch, CIA Director Colmar von Ramsden, and MIA Director Earhart Cecil to come to the presidential palace, and so on, as well as Army Commander-in-Chief Karl Rundstedt." ”
The next day, the German 3rd Army at Nuremberg and the 11th Army in Leipzig moved to Görlitz and Bernau on the west bank of the Spree River to strengthen the 1st Army's defenses on the Eastern Front.
The German 2nd Army then crossed the Rhine and moved to Saarbrücken to garrison; The 4th Army advanced 150 kilometers to the southwest and returned to its original position in Saar.
Eric's redeployment was carried out in a high-profile manner, and although there were many similarities to Kaiser Wilhelm II's actions before he launched World War I, it was claimed to be a routine change of guard. The movements of the 2nd and 4th armies were so obvious that they quickly aroused the vigilance of France. However, since the Berlin Peace Treaty has long since become a piece of waste paper, British Prime Minister Lloyd George and French Prime Minister Paul Dume did not say anything about it.
Shortly after the Type II tank caught fire, Poland ushered in even greater retribution, the Soviet military base in Koschen was suddenly attacked by the country's opposition armed groups, resulting in the serious consequences of seriously injuring one Soviet military expert and killing about 20 soldiers.
However, the joint statement issued by the two sides was like a play, although the thunder was loud, but there was no raindrops, and then the two sides began to argue. The Soviet side even openly accused the Polish 78th Panzer Battalion and the Coordinated Infantry Unit of not doing a good job of securing the area, so that the criminal groups could take advantage of it, and claimed that it would consider the Soviet Far East 14th Army led by General Beryakov to be stationed in Koschen in order to stabilize the chaotic social order in the region.
At this point, before Eric could speak, Britain could not sit still, and Lloyd George publicly criticized Poland's approach as likely to lead the wolf into the house, accusing the Soviet Union of violating the norms of the League of Nations.
The voice of the French could be heard wherever the British spoke, and Dumei also demanded that Poland change its course as soon as possible, tear up the contract with the Soviets, and hoped that the Soviet Union would respect the "Berlin Peace Treaty" and return to the new international order after World War I.
At the same time, the opposition in the Polish parliament expressed anger at allowing Soviet troops to enter sensitive areas without parliamentary approval, and were preparing a collective attack on the ruling authorities. Eric had known for a long time that Poland would shoot himself in the foot, but he did not expect retribution to come so quickly.
In fact, the original intention of Germany's military development was only to focus on homeland defense, however, the United States, Britain, France, Poland, the Soviet Union and other countries were too sensitive, but constantly stimulated Eric, and while losing his sense of security, Eric had to continue to upgrade his armed forces.
The F/A-01 Hanover Carrier Strike Group avoided the island of Great Britain for training in the open sea, which was enough to prove that the Eric government did not want to cause trouble, but Britain, France and other countries did not give up, especially in the North Atlantic, where the military cooperation posture of facing a major enemy and strictly guarding against it made the regional situation tend to be highly tense. In this process, Poland did not play a positive role, but only suppressed Germany with the legs of the eastern powers, and at the same time wanted to show off to the West to show its loyalty to Britain, France, the United States and other countries.
The gradual distancing of Poland deprived Germany of its natural barrier in the east, so the German 3rd and 11th armies coordinated with the 1st Army to deploy defenses as a last resort.
Judging from the successive "retribution" in France and Poland, the negative impact of the later period will be even more serious. It was the first sentence Eric said in public for the first time after more than two months at the presidential palace.
On September 16, the BF-10 fighter was basically installed in the northern region and officially assumed the combat duty of the German airspace in the northern airspace, which marked the further improvement of the offensive and defensive combat system of the air force in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea of the German Federation, and the ability to effectively carry out the mission was also further improved. Except for the public appearance of the official awarding ceremony, the media did not release this major news to the public, let alone related written reports.
Eric led the civilian and military officers to participate in the equipment ceremony of each unit, and encouraged the troops to master the new equipment as soon as possible and be ready for tough battles.
Air Force Commander-in-Chief Hugo Speller and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Albert Kesselring accompanied Eric and Brauchitsch to inspect several air bases in the northwest and northeast.
Next, Eric will watch a free-for-all match between BF-10 fighters and Dornier DO16 fighters in Mecklenburg Bay, the first to use advanced reconnaissance equipment, before attending the celebration of the formation of the Baltic Fleet.
If the BF-10's reconnaissance means are more in line with the needs of air combat, then the DO16 will also be gradually replaced with this airborne reconnaissance system developed by the Eric Group to enhance its preemptive strike capability.
In the morning, the wind and sun were fine in Mecklenburg Bay, which allowed both sides to better use their operational skills.
At about 10 o'clock, the BF-10 fighters departing from the Bremen Air Base and the DO16 fighters departing from the Rostock Air Base in Shmalin converged from two directions; before the two planes met, the BF-10 fighters first reported the accurate bearing, course, speed, and altitude difference of the DO16 fighters.
Through a large-scale and high-intensity fight, the pilots of both sides demonstrated their superb piloting skills, and also let the people watching the battle on the ground enjoy a realistic version of the exciting visual feast of air combat.
After listening to the speeches of the chief technicians of both sides, Eric highly praised the new development of the German Federal Air Force since Commander-in-Chief Hugo Speerer took office, and was full of confidence in the future development of national defense and military affairs.
"We don't take the initiative to make trouble, but we're not submissive sheep either, and those poor-stirrers think we're going to give in, they're miscalculated." Eric said to the people and officials around him.
Brauchitsch then made a speech, in which he called on all the soldiers and civilians of the German Confederation to unite and thwart the careerists who wanted to bring Germany to its knees.
