Chapter 247: March to Vienna

Ciric said it easily, and this self-confidence also infected Bock, and I hope everything goes well. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hey, old man, have you heard? Chancellor Schuschnigg has resigned! "On the border, an old woman, who had been nagging with several old women on the street for a long time, said to her old man when she came home.

The old man sat on the bed and smoked a cigarette sullenly: "Just resign, anyway, it's the same for whoever comes to power." Fortunately, we are farmers, and the food we grow is enough for us to eat, as long as the new ones come up, don't levy higher taxes on us, and our lives can go on. ”

The old man can see it.

Politically, the countrymen do not understand, and when they come to power, it is useless to raise any loud slogans, they can only feel their own lives.

If life is good, it will naturally be missed, life is bad, no matter how bad it is, what can it be? Isn't it the same?

Look next door! Thinking of this, the old man was extremely depressed.

Dozens of kilometers away, is Germany, and over the years, the development of Germany has made everyone blush.

The highways have almost been built to the border, and the people over there are living a good life! They have endless bread, and many of their families are starting to own cars! I heard that even the peasants on their side have to go out for a vacation once a year!

Thinking about it is extremely envious, in this life, I have not taken my mother-in-law and left here, my mother-in-law's lifelong wish is to see what the sea looks like, but unfortunately, this wish cannot be realized!

"Dead old man, can't you listen to what people say?" The mother-in-law continued: "I heard that it was Germany that exerted pressure to annex our Austria. ”

Hearing this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up: "Merger? What kind of merger, that's called a return, is it good! We and Germany were originally Germanic! Are you sure? Are you sure? It would be nice if we could return to Germany! ”

Thinking of this, the old man had already sat up, and he was a little excited.

What is the difference between the death of the country and the country, he does not have the slightest feeling, what is the difference between this country and not dying? It's going to be unbearable anyway, what's the bad about merging with Germany? At least, life is stronger than it is now!

Moreover, Germany is also Germanic and the same people as itself!

"Boom, boom." At this moment, a huge roar sounded in the distance.

What was that?

Could it be that the German troops have already come?

Go out and check it out! The old man got out of bed and beckoned to his mother-in-law: "Go, look!" By the way, bring the eggs at home! ”

The old man put on his rotten shoes, which had been worn for three years, with a large hole in them, and walked out.

At this time, there were more and more people on the street outside, and they looked into the distance, a convoy was slowly moving over.

This is a tank unit, the headlights of the tank, dazzling, mighty, majestic!

On the turret of the tank, there were tankmen with half of their bodies exposed, they were wearing handsome SS uniforms, and their eyes were filled with joy.

"Commander, there are a lot of people in front!" Guderian's tank was in the middle, and at this time, he also showed half of his body, looking into the distance, listening to the gunner on his side shouting.

That's a lot of people! However, it can be seen that none of these people are hostile.

"Attention, stay friendly." Guderian took the radio and gave orders to the whole division.

Stay friendly!

The tankmen in front slowed down, for fear of being careless and scraping one, and they could see that the villagers in the mountains here were watching their arrival with great pleasure.

An old man, carrying a basket of eggs, was shouting in the crowd: "Our army is back, do you eat eggs?" ”

The tankmen shouted to these people: "Our compatriots, it is a great pleasure to see you, please do not stand in the way, we have a mission, we are going to Vienna, thank you for your eggs!" ”

Don't get in the way, it's a big night, I can't see clearly!

Guderian's tank drove past these simple peasants, and he looked at these cheering people, and his heart was full of spirit, just like when he marched into the Rhineland, the people of the Rhineland region also cheered like this!

The news of the smooth crossing of the border at the front soon reached the military headquarters, and when he heard that the front was welcomed by the Austrian people, Bock was also extremely excited, and everything was actually the same as what General Shirek said!

The people of Austria are welcoming.

"Let's go, together?" Ciric said to Bock.

Bock nodded, now that the main forces have been dispatched, it is time for them to go.

Outside, a tall and mighty tank stopped there, similar in appearance to the Panther tank, but there were some slight differences in appearance.

Now, the army is already equipped with a considerable number of Leopard 2 tanks, and Bock's Third Army has hundreds of them, and Bock is also very familiar with this kind of tank.

And now, the tank in front of you, it seems, as if it were bigger?

"This is our latest tank, which Krupp completed a few months ago, and this tank is just right for a long-distance driving test." Ciric said, "Let's go, let's go up." ”

The latest tank!

On the Spanish battlefield, the German Panther 1 and Panther 2 tanks have been exposed to the world, and the performance of these tanks has surpassed this era.

However, Ciric also knows that it is impossible to maintain absolute superiority in a weapon, and it can only be continuously developed!

After several years of development, Krupp has solved all technical problems, such as the production of long-barreled tank guns, such as high-strength torsion bar systems, and now the Panther 2 tank equipped with the army can be upgraded to the level of the Panther 1 tank at any time.

None of this is enough.

The Soviet Union, which went through the Spanish Civil War, will also maintain a high degree of vigilance against these German tanks, and their T-26 is completely outdated, so, objectively, it will stimulate the design and finalization of the Soviet T-34 tank.

Even now that the Soviet Union has carried out a purge and penetrated deep into the army, the research and development of new tanks is still continuing.

Intelligence received information that the tank, codenamed A-32, was already being tested intensively, and it was a Soviet 30-ton tank.

Germany's industrial superiority convinced him that the Panther 1 tank was already strong enough against the T-34 tank improved from the A-32, and the long-barreled 75 mm gun even surpassed the 85 mm tank gun of the later T-34, and at the same time, the Panther's inclined armor was thick enough, but these were not enough.

Germany needs to have more advanced tanks to maintain this advantage!
