Chapter 171: The Italian SS (2)

Now Zhang Jun is ready to let Keitel return this favor and help Vincent squeeze out 500 copycat Tiger tanks from the Wehrmacht, which is almost a quarter of the annual production of German copycat Tigers, so many tanks are squeezed out of the Wehrmacht's share, Keitel should be scolding his mother, but Keitel must use these tanks to seal Zhang Jun's mouth, otherwise Keitel's spy relatives are enough to abolish Keitel's future.

Of course, Zhang Jun will not openly find Keitel to trade, and it is enough to indirectly euphemistically explain Zhang Jun's request through Mao Renfeng, Zhang Jun, who is a German ** person who wants to save face, understands very well, and this kind of transaction is still carried out secretly.

As for Vincent's request for SS veterans and officers at all levels, Zhang Jun directly sent a telegram to Rommel, asking Rommel to immediately send 6,000 SS elites to Italy, Zhang Jun is now also expanding the army, and there is a great urgent need for veterans and officers who have experienced actual combat, so Zhang Jun still reluctantly sent 6,000 people to Vincent, accompanied by 500 gendarmerie troops, with a total number of 6,500 people.

The role of this gendarme in the Italian army is very great, for the Italian army, the leadership and demonstration of the commanders, do not pay attention to deterring those sweet-hearted Italians, this German SS gendarme is the army that sends those who dare to violate discipline to military tribunals and execution grounds, and it is not enough to lead the Italian army without killing.

On October 25, 1939, Mussolini visited Germany, Hitler used a large number of welcome troops, not only the people but also a large number of troops, and even for Mussolini's arrival, Hitler held a separate division parade, of course, that division was the guard flag team, and other troops were not used for the time being.

On the day of Mussolini's arrival, Berlin became a sea of flowers, and Mussolini was very respectful of Hitler, and Mussolini and Hitler inspected Hitler's flag guard in an open-top Mercedes Benz. Mussolini's visit was a matter at the national level, and Zhang Jun was still not qualified to participate, and Zhang Jun would not go to many events, so he continued to organize some SS staff officers and began to formulate a detailed campaign plan.

As for the production of weapons and various cold-proof clothing, it is also being produced rapidly and methodically according to Zhang Jun's integration plan. The SS tanks have been equipped with a total of eight armored divisions, and an air corps is basically full, which is the result of Krupp's cheap father-in-law, who usually secretly positions Zhang Jun's storage, which makes Zhang Jun's weapons greatly advanced, and now he can perform some combat missions alone, such as attacking Denmark and Norway, which is also a good opportunity for actual combat training.

Mussolini stayed in Germany for three days, because Zhang Jun's secret transport, he still bought 500 of Germany's most advanced Shanzhai Tiger tanks, and Mussolini paid all the purchase money in one lump sum in order to show Italy's wealth. In fact, Mussolini was also a swollen face and a fat man, and the money for the purchase of German tanks this time was actually deducted from the money of the Italian army's red wine. If the Italian army can cut all these luxury goods purchased and use them all to copy the German copycat Tiger tanks, there will be no problem in forming ten powerful armored armies, but the Italian soldiers will immediately run away and go home to pick up girls.

It can be said that the Italian army is a nation that has forgotten the tenacious fighting spirit of its ancestors, thinking back to the glory and splendid civilization of the Roman Empire, as well as the powerful Roman legions, but it is a pity that the current Italy has not inherited a little glorious past of their ancestors.

The Wehrmacht was a little dissatisfied with Hitler's and Keitel's decision, but the Wehrmacht still valued Italy as an ally, and since the Führer and the Chief of the General Staff of the High Command thought it was necessary, there was no place to resist.

When Mussolini returned to Italy, he asked these weapons to go back with him, and Hitler, in order to show his unparalleled mobilization and transportation capabilities, mobilized 60 trains in one day to transport these tanks, accessories and ammunition. The 88-mm rifled gun used in the Shanzhai Tiger tank can be copied by Italy with artillery shells, so this ammunition is not much bought.

A few days later, Mussolini handed over the five hundred taels of tanks to Vincent, which almost did not make Vincent faint happily, and what made Vincent even more excited was that his old commander really sent six thousand elite German SS soldiers to him, and Vincent, who obtained these weapons and people, calmed down and thought about how to reorganize the troops.

This is so difficult that Vincent, all the original Italian officers have become deputies, and the military rank remains the same, of course the Italian officers will not be satisfied, the five hundred murderous gendarmes are not vegetarians, if they are really not satisfied, they can apply to withdraw from the Italian SS, Vincent will definitely not force it, he is welcome to withdraw, the Italian SS only needs those bloody Italian soldiers.

Vincent's reorganization plan allowed about 30% of the Italian officers to leave the Italian SS, and the soldiers left very few, and the Italians still had the spirit of adventure.

After the reorganization, the hellish training of the Italian SS began, and now if it is because of the suffering of the training, the corpse at the gate of the garrison that dares to flee is an example, and the deserter is immediately shot, and whoever dares to run away is looking for his own death.

"Quick, quick, haven't you eaten?"

"Bump"

The German instructor went up a few times, which was still gentle, the one who carried logs, the one who wore the ring of fire, the one who practiced grenades, there was a shout everywhere, Vincent was only a little satisfied after the inspection, and this was the little bit of momentum of the German SS. This training is only the first part, and only by going to the battlefield to fight bloody battles can this army become a steel force, otherwise it is just a showcase.

On the tank driving field, there was a roar of combat vehicles, the rumble of cannons, hundreds of tanks were galloping in the training ground, Wittmann was actually the commander-in-chief of these tanks, this is the little white-faced Wittman who hated Vincent who robbed him of his command, he was actually transferred to the Italian army, in fact, Vincent cooperated with Wittman, and felt that the commander of this tank regiment did have a set of command tanks, so he specifically asked Zhang Jun for it, Zhang Jun never refused Vincent's request, according to Zhang Jun's meaning, What you Vincent need, I will give you, and if this brings me a rabble, then it will be a matter of words.

……

Hitler's office in the German Reichstag, Hitler was listening carefully to Zhang Jun's report, Zhang Jun carefully analyzed the reasons why he wanted to attack Denmark and Norway, and this Hitler also understood that it was only Hitler's consideration that whether this occupation would make the war between Britain, France and Germany break out in advance.

"Oh! My little turnip head, for your campaign plan, it can be said that it is perfect, I believe that Denmark and Norway will surrender soon under the blows of your SS, but how can you guarantee that Britain and France will not enter the war, or block our oil imports. ”

"The Great Führer, we can not consider him at all about the attitude of Britain and France, now they are not ready for war, their weapons are not our opponents at all, challenging Germany at this time can only be self-defeating, Chamberlain will not do this, even the main battle faction Churchill will not be so stupid, Britain and France send troops to help Denmark and Norway, we can not worry.

The most important thing is that there is a huge oil field in the North Sea, with total oil reserves of about 5 billion tons. ”

"What, North Sea oil fields, how have I not heard of it, oh my God! 5 billion tons of reserves of oil fields, my little radish head, you are sure. ”

"Hehe, great Führer, I am sure that the total reserves of the North Sea oil fields are about 5 billion tons, but this oil field is all offshore, and we have no way to protect this oil field, so I plan to set up a North Sea oil field company after occupying Denmark and Norway, and everyone will share the oil of the North Sea oil fields, so that when we attack the Soviet Union, we can not worry about Britain and France restricting our oil imports at all.

In addition, after we occupy Denmark and Norway, we can change the occupation to garrison troops and declare these two countries our protectorates, and we can completely refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of Denmark and Norway, so that we can avoid these two countries from appearing as guerrillas or rebels, and we can station troops at strategic points in Denmark and Norway. ”

Hitler was only thinking about strategy, how to fight, he would not interfere with Zhang Jun's command, Hitler pondered for a moment, and began to ask in a consultative tone:

"My little carrot head, if I hand over the battlefield battle to you to command, do you have the confidence to complete the task successfully and victoriously?"

"Smack, hi! Hitler, his subordinates promise to complete the task, and I will occupy these two countries like autumn leaves. ”

Zhang Jun put his feet together and expressed his confidence in victory very confidently. You must know that Denmark and Norway in history can be easily taken by Germany, and Germany's occupation of Denmark is a miracle in the history of human warfare.

The historical "Wiesel exercise" was in the early morning of April 9, 1940, when the Danes were still asleep, and German bombers suddenly appeared over Copenhagen. At the same time, the German troops, concentrated on the German-Danish border, suddenly launched an offensive against Denmark. The German landing force also moved from the Danish islands of Zealand and Firth; Landing at strategic points such as Falster Island. The German minister presented an ultimatum to the Danish king early that morning...... (To be continued.) )
