.“ The glorious Royal Marines of Germany are not big in the world, as long as you have both courage and wisdom, as long as you dare to challenge the hardships, as long as you have a skill, then come and sign up! This will be the ----, mother of your hero's path, and she will be proud of you! ”

This is a call-up notice that can be seen on the street billboards of various towns and cities in Germany, and it is such a small number of notices that attracts millions of school-age youth, reservists and retired officers and soldiers to the recruitment station of the German Marine Corps, and in the end, only 256,000 people remain in this elite army through review and screening, and the elimination rate is as high as 90%!

Adolf Hitler, who had just turned 40 this year, was originally an Austrian, but in 1914 he joined the Bavarian army as a volunteer and fought in the ensuing First World War, where he served as a corporal as a herald. On the battlefield in France, the Bavarian Legion under the command of the then Bavarian Crown Prince Ruprecht performed well, and Adolf was awarded two Iron Crosses for his bravery, which is rare among ordinary non-commissioned officers.

In the ensuing English campaign, the Bavarian Army played the role of a strategic reserve, so Adolf did not land in England with his troops until the end of the campaign, but unfortunately they did not have the opportunity to participate in the battle of millions of people when the overall situation was decided, but played hide and seek with the English partisans, and Adolf was unfortunately wounded in a combat operation to pursue the guerrillas. Although he was not seriously injured, by the time he recovered from his injuries and returned to the team, the war was over.

Like the vast majority of Germans, Adolf rejoiced at the great victory of the German army, and when Germany's most hated enemies fell one by one, Germany seemed to have gained dominance over most of Europe. It's just that for Adolf, victory in the war also means retirement, and the size of the German team quickly shrank to a relatively reasonable level - from 3.5 million to 1.5 million, and the miracle did not happen, and Adolf became one of the 2 million.

After retirement from the Standing Army. Adolf was assigned to the 3rd Bavarian Reserve Army, and he had to find a way out for the rest of the time, except for the annual reserve assembly training. At that time, because of the large number of new colonies acquired through the war, many retired soldiers went to Africa to pan for gold with retirement allowances, and Adolf also received a large amount of allowances according to his rank and merits, and at the instigation of his retired comrades, he decided to go to North Africa, where the situation was relatively stable. A couple of military comrades partnered to buy the rights to a copper mine for 20 years, and Adolf's career as a mine owner began.

After the initial entrepreneurial phase, Adolf's investment in the copper mine gradually paid off, and he himself also had his first harvest in love - he tied the knot with the sister of a comrade-in-arms with the help of his comrades-in-arms. Just when Adolf's love and career were both harvesting, a shocking thing happened, the German ** team invaded the former ally Austria-Hungary through a blitzkrieg, and in just one month, this huge empire was divided and collapsed, and the only remaining Austria has lost the ability to compete with Germany.

In this matter, Adolf went through a rather contradictory period of thought. One side is the country for which it serves. One side was his homeland, and the two countries were at war in a way he never wanted to see, but Adolf quickly figured it out. Both militarily and domestically, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was full of drawbacks, Austria and Hungary had always been inseparable, and a purely Germanic state was clearly more cohesive than a multi-ethnic binary group, and the German government's propaganda of Greater Germanism clearly impressed the corporal of the army.

In 1918, Adolf had his first son, and by this time he had already entered the petty bourgeoisie. This year, the comrades-in-arms jointly financed the purchase of another larger mine, and it was only a matter of time before the huge profits came, but the stacks of money did not make Adolf happy from the bottom of his heart. In the back of his mind, he always had a dream to command a large Germanic army on the battlefield.

In the spring of 1919, Adolf's second son came to life, and he named him "Augustus", the name of the famous German general Mackensen in World War I. At the same time, Adolf also asked someone to bring back some military books from Germany, and he studied them eagerly, and at the same time sent letters of application for admission to various military academies in Germany, but he himself knew that it was not easy to get into a military academy. Many retired officers are struggling to attend these academies for further education, which is the only way for them to return to the military in peacetime.

I don't know whether it was God's favor or fate, Adolf soon received a notice of examination at the Brandenburg Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and after hastily preparing for it, he left his wife and children to return to Germany alone, and achieved good results in the school entrance examination in the autumn of that year, and then went to the school to study artillery, and this year, he was exactly 30 years old.

In 1924, the German-American War broke out, Adolf was incorporated into the artillery unit of the 1st Army of the Army, this time it was still the last train - the protagonist of the war was the Royal Combat Army under the command of General Ollie and the colonial army from Africa, the 1st Army arrived in the United States and carried out only some finishing work, Adolf did not get the opportunity to perform, but he was still officially promoted to second lieutenant that year, although it was still far from the dream of a general, but at least entered the ranks of officers.

1925 was the year of the German Marines, who quickly rose to prominence during the assault on Canada and the British Empire's government-in-exile, and a series of swift and brilliant victories made the Marines famous and synonymous with adventure and heroism.

After the war, the Marines, which had four divisions at the time, did not downsize, but began to recruit new recruits from the Army, Navy, and citizens of appropriate age. The moment he received the offer letter, Adolf seemed to see the scene of his dream coming true, and he was 36 years old that year.

After entering the 2nd Division of the German Royal Marines with the rank of lieutenant, Adolf took up his new position as Company Commander of the 3rd Assault Gun Company of the Artillery Battalion directly under the division headquarters. After that, the continuous hard training began, and the new Marines soon discovered that it was not a fun place at all, and the pay was good, but the training intensity was much better than that of the Army. Gradually, some people began to retreat, but Adolf not only did not flinch, but was an out-and-out "alternative", he told his soldiers more than once that such high-intensity training would eventually show amazing value on the battlefield.

Slowly, Adolf's "value" began to manifest itself in training and exercises, and his company was always the best equipped with weapons and the most timely completion of tactical instructions. Once or twice, Adolf would also show off his extraordinary tactical qualities a little, all of which his superiors saw.

In 1927, Adolf was promoted to captain, and according to his battalion commander, he commanded 3 infantry companies and 1 amphibious combat vehicle company with a total of 1,050 soldiers. After 1 year of I1 training and running-in, this unit finally had the opportunity to fight, and Adolf also became the official battalion commander of this camp with his own ability and was ordered to lead his troops to participate in the battle.

Shortly after the outbreak of the Russo-German War, the German 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Marine Divisions launched a landing campaign in the Gulf of Finland under the cover of the main fleet. and soon captured St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia. Adolf was qualified for the position of battalion commander, but the only drawback for him was that it was still a battle with more than enough momentum and lack of fierceness. By the time the Marines landed on Russian soil, the Russian troops there had already been overwhelmed by the naval surface ships, and the approach of the army had caused the Russians to transfer the royal family and government early.

After the end of the Russian War, the German Marine Corps began to be reorganized, and the original heavy landing divisions, mixed combat divisions, and light infantry divisions were all changed to mixed combat divisions, and the total strength was expanded from 6 divisions to 10. Adolf and his unit remained part of the 2nd Division, but with changes in armament, the Royal Marines became the first units to fully replace Mauser 1898 with GG rifles, and the modified "Metal II" rocket launchers were assigned to company anti-tank squads and battalion anti-tank platoons.

Mid-November 1928. Adolf and his troops were ordered to be transferred to Ensenada, western Mexico, although Germany had not yet declared war on Japan at that time, and the two countries were still negotiating on the exchange of German Qingdao, Vladivostok and Cuye Island with Japanese India, and it was thought that the dispute in the Far East would end with an exchange agreement between the two countries, but Adolf keenly judged that war was coming, and trained his troops with strict combat requirements, and the soldiers at first had quite a problem with the orders of the small battalion commander, but when Germany declared war on Japan a month later, One cannot but sincerely admire Adolf's foresight.

"Hey. Good news, our Far Eastern Fleet inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese fleet in the Sea of Japan, sinking a dozen Japanese capital ships in total, and our losses were only two light aircraft carriers and a couple of cruisers! ”

On the westbound transport, a German sergeant told his companions the news he had just received.

"Wow, I can't believe it! Is it the Spee fleet or the Hipperl fleet? A young private's eyes widened and he could see that he had not had much experience in the war.

The sergeant thought for a moment, "Uh...... It seems to be the Spee fleet! ”

"Oh, it's Admiral Spee's fleet!" The crowd was talking, and just two days ago, many people were still depressed by the loss of Vladivostok. In the eyes of these people, General Spee naturally has an unshirkable responsibility.

"It's kind of making up for it!" A sergeant's rank is not loud, but the voice is not small.

"Make up? Do you think General Spee ever had? A voice came from behind him.

"Of course, if he had been braver......" the sergeant said at this point, but stopped abruptly, for he happened to see the person asking the question.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

The soldiers stood up and saluted, and although the little man in front of him was always very strict, sometimes a little unbearable, but both the officers and the soldiers in the battalion respected him very much, for his strictness always showed its effect when necessary, whether in internal military drills or on the battlefield. As for his talent in command, as the colonel who had selected him for the Marine Corps said, "This man was born for war!" ”

Adolf walked up to the sergeant just now and looked up into his eyes, "Young man, it's not an honorable thing to belittle a high-ranking general behind your back, especially in that situation, no one can hold Vladivostok!" ”

"Captain......" When he found that there was no bad look in Adolf's eyes, the sergeant finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he whispered: "I don't understand your words very well!" ”

"The Japanese Army is known for its fanaticism, they can sacrifice tens of thousands of lives to capture a high ground, even if the ground is covered with corpses, the soldiers behind will continue to rush forward!

The fall of Lushun is a prime example, and this Vladivostok is not much stronger than Lushun! ”

Adolf said and turned to look at the soldiers gathered around, "As far as I know, this time the Japanese army not only invested heavy troops and a large number of planes and tanks, but also used poison gas in the attack!" ”

"Gas?" The soldiers were stunned for a while, and it was obvious that the information was not transmitted very quickly at this time.

"Yes, a terrible gas that suffocates, incapacitates and even kills!" Adolf said in a deep tone, he didn't know that he had been injured by poison gas in the other world and was almost blind, but he was right, it was a very terrible gas.

"But General Spee's fleet has not been attacked, and their cannons should be able to stop the enemy from attacking the port from land!" The sergeant asked a new question.

"Once the enemy's land forces occupy the commanding heights near the harbor, the battleships in the harbor will not be able to confront the enemy's large-caliber artillery at all, and the final result is very likely! The Russo-Japanese War is a classic because it shows the world many revelations about the offensive and defensive battles of port fortresses! After explaining this, Adolf found a wooden box and sat down, "Admiral Spee is a very resolute and shrewd man, which is why he has been able to command the Far Eastern Fleet for a long time!" ”

At this time, the soldiers all sat down again, and one of the older soldiers asked, "Captain, do you think we will be able to capture the Hawaiian Islands this time?" ”

"Of course, aren't we already on the road to victory?" Adolf said with a smile that just three days ago, they boarded and set off from the west coast of Mexico with the 3rd and 7th Marine Divisions integrated into the Central Pacific Fleet, and the First Pacific Fleet had already approached the Hawaiian Islands.
