Taking the plane back to Germany, Li Ling's trip to Moscow can be called perfect, but there are many places where his perfection is not known and understood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After returning to Germany, instead of attending the so-called grand welcome dinner prepared by Rudolf Hess, Li Ling went to find Guderian as soon as possible, maybe Guderian was not a great figure in the German military, but Li Ling knew that at this moment, only Guderian's opinion could determine the future development direction of the German armored forces.

Li Ling's only purpose in finding Guderian was to ask him to let the scientific researchers thoroughly understand the Soviet engine technology and improve it in the shortest possible time! Strive for Germany to have its own reliable diesel engines as soon as possible.

Perhaps now because of the pressure on oil, even if the tanks powered by diesel engines can be built, they will not be able to serve on a large scale, after all, this is a competition for diesel with the navy, and Germany itself is not an oil-producing country, so it can only rely on Romania's crude oil imports.

But this does not mean that Germany will be limited now, because at this time Germany has signed a treaty with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union will provide more than 1.5 million tons of crude oil at a lower price every year, so that the German army can also move!

However, Li Ling's idea is good, but in Guderian's eyes, there are too many problems!

First of all, the volume of the diesel engine is much larger than that of the gasoline engine under the same power, and the black smoke and huge roar of the diesel engine make it difficult for the troops to conceal and ambush in the war, and the impact on the tank crew is also very great.

So, although Guderian accepted and decided to seriously consider Li Ling's suggestion, he did not have much illusions about diesel engines.

Perhaps, only when a certain historical moment comes, when a certain equipment is born, can the benefits of diesel engines be recognized by Guderian!

Leaving Guderian, Li Ling had to rush back to the 3rd Panzer Division immediately, because the time for the start of the war was getting closer and closer!

Li Ling wasn't a belligerent, but what man wouldn't be excited before going into battle? Li Ling is very excited now, he will set foot on the battlefield of blood and fire for the first time!

Looking at the appearance of his comrades-in-arms gearing up one by one, Li Ling knew that everyone was just like him, looking forward to it!

It's just that what everyone expects is different, Li Ling just wants to go to the battlefield, and the group of German soldiers in front of him, they are just for a somewhat extreme belief in their hearts, perhaps, only soldiers are the purest, a faith, they are willing to pay for it!

The Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact brought back by Ribbentrop removed one of the greatest fears of the upcoming war against Poland, and at the same time an even bolder idea was born in Rudolf Hess's mind!

In the middle of the night on August 36, 1939, the German High Command suddenly issued an order to the troops on the German-French border, requiring the vast majority of the troops to cross the entire Germany at night and assemble in the vicinity of the border with Poland.

Rudolf Hess always had an idea in his mind, he wanted to take Poland in one fell swoop, so that his prestige at home completely overwhelmed everyone, and he was even willing to pay any price for it! But he never dared to draw the main forces on the French border, he was worried, he was afraid that the French would come in, but the desire in his heart kept telling him, 'Don't be afraid, pull all the troops over and go to Poland'!

Just when he didn't know what to choose, Heydrich appeared!

Before going to Moscow, Li Ling once again talked to Heydrich about the deployment of German troops, especially the determination of Britain and France to fight, and Li Ling repeatedly assured that Heydrich finally made up his mind to become a lobbyist and let the German army be mobilized on all fronts!

Heydrich's appearance gave Hess a reason to make up his mind, his relationship with Heydrich was once very good, although now Li Ling appeared, so that the relationship between the two people was a little unspeakably weird, but Heydrich's remarks could still affect Hess's decision, Hess only five days before the start of the war, suddenly issued an order, requiring the main forces to all assemble on the German-Polish border!

On one side was the German military's preparations for war, and on the other side, Heydrich's Gestapo was also in action.

Also on August 26, hundreds of Gestapo members infiltrated the city of Danzig, and soon a mass march began to erupt in Danzig, all of which had a common theme: to return the Germanic people to the bosom of Germany.

The moment the international condominium of Danzig erupted in a mass demonstration, it was plunged into unimaginable chaos.

The following day, on 27 August, the German Navy's training ship Herstein, a former dreadnought-class battleship, made a surprise visit to Danzig in the name of "commemorating the fallen soldiers of the First World War" and anchored in the port of Danzig.

Since Danzig is a free city, it is very inefficient in dealing with emergencies, and the large-scale demonstrations that broke out in Danzig have already made the Danzig city government anxious, where would anyone care about the purpose of this sudden visit of the German training ship?

It was precisely because of this that a former German naval flagship full of ammunition had the opportunity to stay in the port of Danzig and eventually become a writer of history.

On August 29, 1939, the German government again issued a public statement, stating that the Polish government must arrive in Berlin within one day to make formal talks with it on the future relations between Germany and Poland, that Germany should protect the German minority living in Poland, and that Germany should regain control of Danzig!

War was imminent, and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who was known for his appeasement policy, felt a sense of relief and rejoicing at the German government's statement, because the Germans had now offered to negotiate, that is, the Germans may not want to start a war, but he still had the opportunity to continue to keep Europe at peace.

But Chamberlain was not aware of a problem at all, this public statement from Germany demanded that the Polish delegation must arrive in Berlin, Germany within a day! At the same time, the Germans kept creating all kinds of problems for the Polish delegation to stall for time!

In fact, this is almost an ultimatum for the Germans!

The fact is that peace is not still seen as Chamberlain thinks, but war is imminent!
