Chapter 222: Recall

On November 25, 1939, the Third German Reich in the Danzig Corridor was successfully recovered, and the Polish Viceroyalty was officially established. In the occupied territories, all local administration was entrusted to loyal members of the Socialist Workers' Party, with Minister Frank in charge.

Since then, the Third Reich has not only restored all of its pre-World War I territory, but has also expanded some additional "territorial bonuses".

In line with this, after the former German Army Group South that participated in the Polish Campaign, after transferring one-third of its veterans to the Western Front to form a new unit, a large number of new troops were replenished, a quartermaster office was added, and it was reorganized into the German Army Group East, which was stationed in the Polish Governorate and was responsible for all military defense tasks on the Eastern Front.

The transfer of those one-third of the troops from the former Army Group North and Army Group South has now become the skeleton of the newly built Army Group A and Army Group B on the German Western Front.

As for the second-rate units of the German army that remained on the Western Front, most of them were incorporated into Army Group C composed of pure infantry, supplemented by Army Group A and Army Group B, which had strong armored forces, to jointly confront the British and French forces.

With the strengthening of the deployment forces of the German army on the Western Front, the combat power of the Eastern Front was naturally weakened by the transfer of the main forces. Although Army Group East was training its newly formed divisions all the time, the strength of the German Army Group East was much weaker than the military forces that the Soviets had left in eastern Poland.

Therefore, after the end of the Polish campaign, Reinhardt sent a telegram to General Rundstead of Army Group East, asking the supreme commander of the Eastern Front to personally return to Berlin to report the situation and summarize the topographic exploration work of the Eastern Front and the progress of the construction of the defensive line.

"Hey, did you hear that? The head of the state is going to Berlin with our commander. A lieutenant colonel staff officer casually joked with two female officers while holding a freshly lit Exocet cigarette.

In order to expand the army, Reinhardt began to use female soldiers as early as 1935 to undertake some institutional, communications, logistics and other work, so that more male soldiers could be released to the front line to carry out combat missions.

As a male staff officer in Army Group East, the cigarette-smoking lieutenant colonel was lucky enough to be in a sea of flowers. After all, the headquarters of the army group is usually located in the rear, its personnel do not have to perform combat missions, and women are generally competent for logistics work here, and the proportion of female soldiers is quite high.

"Back to Berlin? Wow, I'm so envious. The young female officer covered her mouth and said with envy: "I haven't been back to China for a long time, let alone the capital." I wish I could be called back like a general. ”

A female officer can say such a thing, obviously she doesn't know the inside story.

Of course, the lieutenant colonel would not let go of such an opportunity to show his knowledge, and immediately smiled and "popularized" the young female officer: "Don't be in a hurry to envy. Let me tell you, our General Rundstead doesn't want to go back to Berlin at all! ”

While popularizing science, the lieutenant colonel "inadvertently" put his hand on the shoulder of the young female officer.

"Want to know why?" The lieutenant colonel smiled evilly: "Let's have dinner together, I'll tell you more in detail in the evening." Trust me, you're going to love the story. ”

Driven by curiosity, the female officer blushed and agreed to the lieutenant colonel's proposal to have dinner together: "That........ All right. But I'm going to go to the SS quartermaster now, and I'll have to get you back later." ”

"No problem, I'll wait for you." The lieutenant colonel who had successfully hooked up was full of joy, smiling and watching the female officer who had made an appointment leave.

On the side, another middle-aged female major who witnessed the whole process sneered faintly.

The male lieutenant colonel, apparently, did not listen carefully to the young female officer's reply. Someone else is going, it's the SS quartermaster's department!

The SS was a group of people, they grabbed supplies, and they could not take their lives. Even General Rundstead will definitely not be able to stop that group of hooligans!

On top of that, the SS men not only robbed supplies, they also "robbed" female officers. These days, the female officers who went to the SS came out in pairs.......

No exceptions!

Sure enough, the lieutenant colonel, who thought he had hooked up with a young and beautiful female officer, was hungry all night and didn't wait for the beautiful female officer to come to him. Instead, a platoon of SS soldiers in black uniforms came and surrounded him, kindly telling him not to wait any longer.

Of course, compared to his superiors, what happened to the lieutenant colonel can be regarded as lucky.

On the next day, November 26, 1939. The German military ushered in the rarest tragedy in history, and the tragedy was even comparable to the impact of the defeat in World War I on the German military class!

On the street outside the Führer's residence, a military band was beating gongs and drums and playing the stirring "Germany above all else", as if celebrating a grand victory.

Some newcomers to the country wondered that the Polish campaign had been over for more than a month, and that this victory had already been celebrated countless times. Today, there is really no need to celebrate on such a large scale.

But apart from the Polish campaign, is there anything else worth celebrating with such grandeur?

Could it be that what are these Germans doing?

After thinking for a long time, Alessandro from Italy shook his head and gave up speculating alone about what the medicine sold in the gourd of the Germans?

Alessandro was the official correspondent sent to Germany by Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini after the Polish campaign.

After all, in this battle, Germany defeated Poland, the first military power in Eastern Europe and the strongest cavalry in Europe, in one fell swoop!

For such a powerful and friendly country, Mussolini, of course, should send more journalists to express the importance he attaches to Germany's opinion.

This is the foundation of friendship between countries!

Relying on co-optation and showing goodwill, you will never win the respect of other countries.

If a country wants to make other countries look at friendly relations with its own country, the most important thing is to show its strength and military strength!

Only by making other nations feared can they be respected.

After the end of the First World War, no country in Germany could sympathize with Germany, no matter how much it pleaded. Even the League of Nations, a symbol of justice, stood in favour of the exploitation of Germany.

Before the start of World War II, Germany re-established an army that was feared by all of Europe, and soon won the "understanding" of Britain, France and other countries with the deterrent power of this army.

Looking at the powerful country in front of him and listening to their passionate national anthem, Alessandro was very envious.

When will Italy be able to be like this.........

"Alessandro, you're new here." An elderly middle-aged reporter reminded: "Don't get distracted, get ready to take pictures." We may be catching up on the big news today. ”

"Big news?" Alessandro's eyes lit up and asked the reporter: "Senior, you came here a few years ago, do you know something inside?" ”

"Of course." The middle-aged reporter looked at the curious Alessandro and proudly broke the news: "It's no secret in Germany, it's just that because it sounds a bit unbelievable, it's treated as a German-style joke and hasn't been spread abroad." ”

The middle-aged reporter's words made Alessandro even more curious. Listening to the tone of the seniors, it seems that this unbelievable joke is very likely to come true today!?

didn't let him wait too long, the reporter who was a senior patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "It is rumored that the German Führer Reinhardt made a bet with the current commander of the German Army Group East. The bet is that the loser wears a pair of panties and runs naked around the center of Berlin........"
