Chapter 138: Huddle for Warmth (Part I)

Those who were able to remain in the Wehrmacht and continue to serve were basically those who passed through Hans. Feng. Seckert's Careful Selection.

The number of land forces in the Wehrmacht cannot be more than 100,000, so there is a need for more outstanding personnel, and in many cases, it is not enough to be excellent, and we should continue to maintain the enthusiasm of a soldier, and at the same time we need to have a sense of mission.

That's right, Hans. Feng. Seckert was now appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht by the Weimar government. He participated in the Treaty of Versailles as a military professional in the German negotiating delegation, and after returning to Berlin he met with Friedrich Friedrich. Albert communicated throughout the night and seemed to have made a distinction including Friedrich. Albert supported the majority of the ruling officials.

Paul. Feng. Hindenburg and Erich. Feng. Fakeham, along with a large number of field marshals and generals from the Second Reich, did not hold any positions in the Weimar government, not even in the Wehrmacht system. This will happen in connection with the Juncker military bloc that the victorious powers want to destroy Germany.

The current international community generally believes that the German Juncker military bloc system must be destroyed, together with the destruction of German heavy industry, and they feel that after that, Germany will not be able to fight again.

A very embarrassing scene is happening in the German State (Weimar Republic), where the big men who were previously shocked are still in rank, but they are not recognized by the Weimar government, and there are no positions in the Wehrmacht. As a result, their influence is still there, but legally there is no way to command anyone, and even if they can command anyone, it is out of a kind of personal communication, and there is no legal recognition.

"......" Richie had just received a telegram, and after reading it, his brows were tightly knit, and he couldn't help but say to Manfred. Feng. Richthofen and Kurt. Zeitzler said: "Many generals are coming to Bavaria for retirement. ”

Whoever has had a turbulent time will definitely not be able to accept the days of being suppressed and ignored, and that kind of gap will make people want to go crazy. Berlin is now the nest of the Weimar government, and chaos continues in the rest of Germany, but wasn't Bavaria "pacified" by Leach?

Litchie was not a member of the Juncker military group, but Litchie counted as Hans. Feng. Seckert's "protΓ©gΓ©", and at the same time can be regarded as Erich. Feng. Falkingham's "faction", who made them get along happily and get closer to each other before?

By the way, Richie's full name now is, Obei. Mecklenburg. Rich, if you add to this the fief of Landsberg that the King of Bavaria gave him before he was finished, his full name is Obe. Mecklenburg. Landsberg. Richie.

Ouch, before I knew it, it turned out that Li Qi's name could also be a long list! Who made this habit is handed down from ancient years. If you become a nobleman and have a fief, then you can add the location of the fief to your name, and you need to call out the full name when you are on a formal occasion, so that people can identify what your identity is, where you come from, and so on.

Everyone who heard Li Qi say that was a little confused. They naturally knew what was going on in Germany at the moment, Germany was no longer an empire of kingdoms united, all those kingdoms became states, and then one state after another united like a federal state, but the Weimar government always said that Germany was now a republic.

Is it a republic? In fact, it doesn't matter what country it is at all, it's just a title. But! The Weimar government seems to have deliberately cooperated with the rhythm of the victorious powers to kill and destroy the Junker military group?

The reality was that no one, whether it was the Weimar government or the victorious powers, really wanted to leave behind a military bloc that could control Germany. The Weimar government did not want Germany to be a military dictatorship again, and the victorious powers wanted to make Germany a powerless country in their hearts.

How can a country be without force? But the result of a country being dominated by a military bloc is to become a militaristic state.

Now Li Qi didn't have the time to think about it so much, he frowned and asked, "How do we arrange those people?" ”

It's all big guys! Except for Erich. Feng. Outside of Falkingham, Otto. Feng. Bello, Marx. Feng. Galwitz and a few other prestigious people will come to Bavaria.

Li Qi had a headache, and the other people were also frowning. Those bigwigs are now almost everyone's shouting characters, and the people inside Germany believe that they are responsible for the collapse of the empire, and the victorious powers position them as executioners, and they are simply not human inside and out.

"The League of Nations wants to form a joint tribunal." Kurt. Zeitzler said in a slightly worried tone: "Maybe they got the news and wanted to leave Berlin for Bavaria." ”

Yes, the League of Nations is going to form a joint tribunal for trying politicians from defeated countries. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had completely fallen apart, and only a few people in the crippled Austro-Hungarian Empire would be prosecuted. Germany was also defeated, but because the Second Reich was the main enemy of England and France, one can imagine how many people in England and France would be happy to see those German marshals or generals sent to gallows or prison.

Litchie had excelled in the First World War, had it not been for the fact that he had become governor of Bavaria and had a good understanding with the British and French governments, and that he had killed so many generals and captured Douglas in that military campaign. Haig, Robert. Neville, he will actually appear in the list of "reckoning".

That's right, the international tribunal is for liquidation, and even the victorious powers have not concealed this in the slightest.

The Weimar government was finally trying to save some face, and was arguing with the various countries in the League of Nations, arguing that the war was over, that some of the people who should have been punished had been punished, and that the soldiers were simply following orders and could not and did not need to be tried again.

Who are the people who are being punished? It was the Emperor and the kings of Germany, all of whom lost their country with the collapse of the Second Reich. Wilhelm II went into exile in the Netherlands, where he was patronized by the Queen of the Netherlands. The rest are in constant exile.

Considering that Britain is a constitutional monarchy, Britain is more inclined to use the respect it deserves for "noble blood", shouting that it should be punished, but secretly it is persuading France.

The British gave face to the kings (including William II), but did not intend to give any face to the Junkers military group. However, the Weimar government became infamous because of the signing of the "Treaty of Versailles", and if the Weimar government handed over its marshals and generals to the victorious powers, the Weimar government would not only be resisted by the people, but the Junkers military group would inevitably make drastic moves to fight back. Well, it's really not so easy to say what will happen then. Britain's current policy is to balance the European continent, not to kill Germany.

Bavaria now has good relations with Great Britain and political relations with France, after all, the Freikorps are now the main force in suppressing the Hungarian revolution and an indispensable force for Britain to extinguish the Bolsheviks in Central Europe.

The Hungarian Revolutionary War continued, and the 30,000 Freikorps who entered Hungary were commanded by French generals and had taken the western part of Hungary, but the Allied forces were still trapped in Romania, and only a corps formed by the Czechs contained the Hungarian revolutionary forces in the north.

Austria-Hungary was divided, and the Czechs quickly kept the thighs of Britain and France after the division of Austria-Hungary. They wanted independence back in the days of Austria-Hungary, and now they are independent, but to be honest, what the territory should look like is up to the victorious powers before them.

The Czechs wanted to be able to form their own state, and when the First World War ended, the Czechs were eager to shout the slogan of national self-determination and to acquire several regions, including Bohemia and Moravia. But Bohemia and Moravia were not Czech-majority, so they pulled Slovakia together to form the state of Czechoslovakia.

In order to establish the state of Czechoslovakia, the Czech government even shouted out the nonsense lie that "Czechs and Slovaks are the same people".

It doesn't matter if you lie, Britain wants to divide Europe into a small area of states, so whether the Czechs and Slovaks are the same people or not, yes or no. After all, the victorious side has the property that all nonsense becomes the truth, that is, "history is written by the victors."

France also has no interest in debunking the lies of the Czechs. Yes, yes, anyone who is European knows that the Czech Republic and Slovakia are two peoples, but so what?

France wants to organize an army composed of Czechs, and then send it to the land of Soviet Russia to collect debts, not to mention that the Czechs just told a "white lie", that is, the Czechs said that the Sudetai region is a Czech, and it has been a sacred and inseparable part of the Czech Republic since the monkey has not evolved into a human being, and France is smiling and nodding.

Other countries? Most countries remained silent, with the exception of the United States, which expressed a slight suspicion that it was the Yankees who proposed national self-determination. Then, Britain and France, having won the war, did not intend to play the game according to the framework set by the Yankees, for example, national self-determination would be of little use to Germany, but it would still be able to play against the Czechs and the Poles. But isn't that national self-determination? It's just a bunch of little killers who have joined forces to carve up Germany.

The Yankees are now depressed to death, and Wilson, as president, has lost his face, and he promised to give Americans the benefits of participating in the war. And then, the United States has not been given a politically commensurate status, and the United States is still considered a colony-grown country, as for those who want to play a more advanced political game? Flash aside, Big Brother on the European continent doesn't play with cowboys.

The United States just asked the question, saying that the Czechs and Slovaks are not the same people, right? Immediately, the British and the French joined forces to spray it, saying that Europe is the business of the European people, and the Americans are mixed with something.

At this stage, if the United States did not want to get involved in the civil war in Soviet Russia, the United States would no longer intend to play happily with those "shameless countries". In fact, the United States is already discussing withdrawing from the League of Nations, and then engaging in isolationism, and no longer playing happily with the British, French, and other countries that do not give face at all.

The United States has a somewhat complicated feeling about Bavaria, the whole of Germany is in chaos, but Bavaria seems to be very stable. They hoped that capital could enter Bavaria, but the Weimar government was temporarily stuck, and even the state governments of Bavaria were asking questions, what did American capital want to play when it entered Bavaria?

It is obviously not suitable for Germany to play industry now, and the United States has its own large farms and does not need Bavaria to block the American farmers. Does Bavaria have any mineral resources? There are still. However, theoretically speaking, those minerals are now one of the reparations to support the defeat reparations, and there is no room for investment.

"You can buy agricultural products from the United States." The person Li Qi faced was Erich. Feng. Falkingham. He said: "In spite of all the ulterior motives of the Americans, the United States is now the only one who has even false goodwill towards Germany." ”

Erich. Feng. Falkingham brought a man to see Richie, and that man was Kurt. Feng. Schleichel is a middle-aged uncle who looks quite handsome.

Kurt. Feng. Schleicher does not belong to Erich. Feng. Falkingham's faction, he belonged to Paul. Feng. People from the Hindenburg faction. Of course, this is the opinion of many people, but Li Qi knows that he does not belong to any faction, he only belongs to his own faction.

Litchie knew Kurt. Feng. Schleicher is now in the office of a minister in the government, responsible for the communication between the military and civilian officials. Feng. Schleicher came to Bavaria to do something.

"Mr. Governor." Kurt. Feng. Schleicher looked at Rich, as if to clear up Rich's confusion, and said, "I only greet you on behalf of Field Marshal Hindenburg. ”

Richie nodded, and at this moment Kurt. Feng. Schleicher is the representative of Hindenburg. He said: "Greetings to His Excellency Hindenburg on my behalf, too." He didn't say anything more, as long as he was a political figure in Germany, everyone knew that he and Hindenburg were not on the right track.

"This time I came to see Mr. Governor, on behalf of the Wehrmacht." Kurt. Feng. Schleicher smiled awkwardly before he said: "Now Germany has a clear picture of the stability of Bavaria, and Mr. Governor is considered an outstanding political figure and a governor who is responsible to the people." ”

Li Qi just listened quietly, complimenting something, all in order to ask for something to make a premise, after some nonsense, it should be a request, the more humble the other party, the more flattering, then the more excessive the request will be.

Bavaria is a pearl in a bad Germany, it is inevitable to be claimed, Li Qi has long been prepared with his heart, he is waiting, waiting to give, and then harvest! (To be continued.) )
