"This child's ambition is really not small. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At this time, in the Ministry of Defense in Berlin, a veteran could not help but sigh as he listened to the words of Gustav in front of him.

As a German capitalist, Gustav would never be on the wrong side, and just after Ciric left, Gustav reported all this to Sickert, the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht.

Johannes Friedrich Leoped von Sickert, known simply as Hans von Sickert, was born in Schleswig in 1866 and was not much known in later generations, not even the tankman of the Tiger tank, Baummann.

However, he is the real mainstay, he is the founder of the German "100,000 Army", everything he has done has laid the foundation for the re-emergence of the German Army, and he is worthy of being the father of the German Army in World War II.

In 1919 he became Chief of the General Staff of the post-war German Army, and a year later became Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht.

In a time of political turmoil and national chaos, Sickert certainly couldn't do much, but he built an army that became the backbone of the country, proving to be the best trained and best leader of his time!

The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that the number of German troops should not exceed 100,000, so the criteria set by Sickert were: soldiers in good health and more than 12 years of service experience; Officers should have at least 25 years of military experience.

A large number of people who did not meet the requirements were forced to retire, and the German army, although reduced in size, could be expanded at any time, and every private was trained to become a sergeant, every sergeant was trained to become an officer, and every officer was trained to become a general.

During the exercise, individual soldiers should refer to themselves as a platoon or represent an 8-man machine gun crew. There are no tanks and anti-aircraft artillery, so they are imitated with cardboard and wood! The German army can be expanded into hundreds of thousands, or even millions of troops at any time, all from Sickert!

At the beginning, after Hitler came to power, he tore up the Treaty of Versailles and easily expanded to an army of millions, which is also thanks to Sickert, who left a good foundation for Hitler with his early efforts.

Now Sickert is the mainstay of the German army.

It's a pity that he can also feel that the small actions behind the scenes are too small, the military science and technology of Britain and France are developing rapidly, and in contrast, Germany is constantly lagging behind.

Especially tanks! In World War I, the tank has proven to be a very powerful weapon, enough to change the situation of the war, but unfortunately, the Treaty of Versailles limited Germany from making tanks!

Ciric, who wants to build a base in Libya and develop the latest German tank in the endless desert where no one cares!

It's a whimsical idea! At the same time, this idea also has a great possibility of success!

As Germany's largest arms giant, the relationship between Krupp and Sickert is, of course, quite good! In this eventful time, the Krupp family must determine their political position!

If Sickert agrees, then Krupp will go all out, and if Sickert does not agree, then let Hannah go and make a small fuss.

"Actually, the removal of Ciric is also a last resort choice for the army, and I have been thinking about when to redeploy Ciric to the army."

Looking out the window, Sickert said: "That's fine, the Treaty of Versailles, so that we can't develop any weapons, especially tanks, we must not give up." ”

Sickert's feelings are complex.

Ciric, so to speak, a rebel, was involved in the beer hall riots. However, the speech given by Ciric when he accepted the verdict infected many people!

In Sickert's eyes, Ciric was still a child, and this child, although he had taken the wrong path, was thinking about the future of Germany!

And now, going to the desert to develop tanks, Krupp will come up with more advanced technology, and if it can design advanced tanks there, it will also be a good thing!

This means that Germany can produce advanced tanks in large quantities at any time, instead of waiting for the time to concentrate manpower and material resources to develop tanks!

A full-fledged model is quite important!

Among them, it takes a lot of investment, it takes a lot of time, and it takes at least five years for a model to mature! And in the German army, tanks could not be missing!

"General Sickert, since you have agreed, then, we, the Krupp company, will go all out." Gustav said.

Go all out and build the latest tank!

"Since it's decided, you might as well pull a few more." "Rheinmetall, Henschel, Daimler-Benz, all have researchers to come up with," Sickert said. At the same time, the secrecy work must be done well, and in the event of an accident, the government will not stand up and take any responsibility. ”

The government, of course, will not stand up! This kind of secret research on weapons will not be seen in the light of day, otherwise, I am afraid that this will not be an excuse for Sickert to support this operation.

The leader is Ciric, if the real thing is revealed, it can all be pushed to Ciric's head, anyway, this organization, the government is also opposed.

And if the matter is not revealed, in the base there, you can continue to develop your own technology and prepare for the next war in the future!

And all this, it seems that there is little hope, the one in Italy, will agree?

No matter, in short, these have nothing to do with the government and the military!

If it fails, it is not responsible, and once it succeeds, any technology will converge on Germany, and eventually it will become Germany's military technology! There is no doubt about it.

As soon as he nodded, there was a knock on the door outside, and an adjutant hurriedly came over and said, "General, Major Guderian has asked for retirement and has already made a report." ”

Suddenly, Sickett was stunned.

Now, Guderian's military rank is not high, but Guderian is the person that Sickert likes, which has to start with the previous issues of the Military Weekly, Guderian published several articles, revealing the future mode of war, which made Sickert quite important.

This guy is actually unwilling to do it in the army, and wants to slap his ass and walk in?

Wait a minute! Sickert suddenly realized something, could it be this Shirek who wants to poach people from the Wehrmacht? It's so hateful!

In particular, Guderian was a man whom Sickert valued quite a lot! Deeply studied in military theory, a pioneer of the future German armored forces! was actually abducted by Ciric!
