Absolutely tough: Geographically, the sea with huge waves, the mountains with towering peaks, the endless plains, and the unpredictable dense forests can all be special operations battlefields; From the perspective of climate, the special team members should be able to fight continuously day and night in the scorching heat and severe winter, wind, snow, thunder and lightning; From the perspective of combat skills, special team members must be able to adapt to the operational requirements of airborne, airborne, swimming, and wading; From the perspective of living environment, special team members should be able to ensure survival by using local resources in an environment where water and food are starved and there is no support. These extremely harsh living environments have put forward high requirements for the physical fitness of special team members, requiring them to have a strong physique, strong perseverance and long-lasting endurance, and be able to adapt to different combat environments to the greatest extent

Superior intelligence: Special forces members often carry out short, high-risk operations in the heart of the enemy, face unimaginable military and psychological pressures, and it is difficult to successfully carry out combat missions without superior intelligence. A special combat unit member must not only learn the techniques of shooting, fighting, assassination, and explosives, but also learn the techniques of photography, eavesdropping, communications, swimming, skiing, climbing, and parachuting, and learn the technical and tactical skills of vigilance, reconnaissance, search, capture, and rescue, but also master the prevention and control of some diseases, the knowledge of distinguishing edible wild animals and plants, and the language and customs of the intended combat area.

Next, Zhang Jun arranged Otto and his party to a place for secret training, Zhang Jun also sorted out some knowledge about special forces that he knew about the later generations, and handed them to Otto, including a series of documents such as training syllabus and selection criteria, and at the same time Zhang Jun gave Otto the power to modify according to the actual situation, and the knowledge of the later generations that he scraped is definitely not the "Bible", and it must be understood and used by the current soldiers, and the part that cannot be combined with reality must be modified. Even if it's something he writes himself.

It is said that in the face of Nazi Germany's aggressive military coercion, and then seeking help from Britain, France and other powers to no avail, the Czech government began a nationwide military mobilization, and decided to recruit 400,000 new soldiers for the first time, and at the same time pulled these 400,000 recruits to the Sudetenland border to begin emergency training.

On the German side, more than 70,000 people of the First Panzer Corps of the SS are conducting military exercises, while on the Czech side of the Sudetenland, the newly recruited and expanded 400,000 troops of the Czech Republic are training recruits. In Zhang Jun's words, a stupid pig with no military command ability.

At the same time, the great Führer Hitler also felt the Czech government's resolute will to resist, and immediately ordered an increase in troops in the Sudetenland border area, and 500,000 German Wehrmacht troops began to assemble on the Sudetenland border, and the famous "May Crisis" in history officially broke out.

On May 19, 1938, nearly 600,000 German troops gathered in the Sudetenland border area, the Sudetenland area was originally a horseshoe shape, so the 600,000 German ** team was fan-shaped and semi-surrounded by the Czech 400,000 new army plus 300,000 conventional troops, both sides were in their respective borders, military exercises were carried out all day long, and the sound of artillery and gunfire was heard all day long.

Germany sent a large number of high-ranking officials to visit Western European countries in the hope of persuading them to support Germany's "just" demands and let the Czech government return the Sudetenland, while the Czech government was very disappointed with the Western European powers, but in the face of the dual threat of German affairs and diplomacy, it also launched a-for-tat diplomatic war.

However, diplomatic warfare must be based on national strength, and the countries of Western Europe are now secretly praying that the Germans will not attack them, and that they will resist Germany for the sake of the Czech Republic, and that Britain, the world's number one power, has also adopted a policy of appeasement, and no matter how hard the Czech Government tries, it has only received verbal support from Britain and France, and has not received any substantial support at all, not even symbolic.

Although the countries of Western Europe are verbally supporting the Czech Republic, but Germany also feels the pressure, now Germany's military preparations are far from complete, because of the restrictions of the "Versailles Treaty", Germany is actually in 1935, after the great Führer fully mastered Germany, tore up the "Versailles Treaty" before starting a full expansion of the army, it has only been more than two years now, and all aspects of the preparations are not in place, in this case, Hitler did not dare to rashly invade the Czech Republic, so he ordered the German army to withdraw from the German-Czech border, He also instructed Henlein to continue negotiations with the Czech government, and the "May crisis" was alleviated.

Although both the British and French governments expressed their support for the Czech Republic during the May Crisis, neither country really supported the Czech Republic's determination to contain German aggression. The "May Crisis" shocked Britain and France to suddenly find themselves so close to the brink of war. In order to avoid getting involved in the war, the two heads of government went so far as to agree with Hitler's teaching: "The May crisis was deliberately caused by the Czechs, and in fact it was they who endangered the peace." Britain's Chamberlain government even argued that "the best way to promote a solution to the Central European problem is to exert constant pressure on Prague, which could force the Benes government to end its prevarication and accept the demands of its minorities." This shows that Britain is trying to make peace with Germany at the expense of Czech interests.

The German team is retreating, but the diplomatic war between the two sides is in full swing, war is the continuation of politics, is the ultimate form of politics, all countries are in this turbulent time, want to fight for their own country, as low as possible to obtain practical benefits. Where is there a free lunch in the world, even robbers need to pay the price of force, and it is impossible for a pie in the sky to happen, especially this kind of major event related to the life and death of the country.

Zhang Jun can't help in the diplomatic war, saying that the great Führer's amazing insight and keen intuition in diplomacy, where Zhang Jun needs to intervene, the Führer saw very clearly the mentality of Western European countries, including British and French economic aid and other means, in order to lure Germany to agree to peace talks with the Czechs, but the speech of the great Führer told them that this can only be a dream.

"Germany, the people, comrades. In January this year, Britain, France, and other countries put forward ...... to our party and our country I resolutely rejected this unreasonable demand from theirs! I never believed in the aid of foreigners! Never! I have never believed in so-called aid from outside our country and nation! Germany's future depends on our people! Only by our people! The German people, the holy German people, must overcome all difficulties with their own diligence, wisdom, calmness and bravery! Only in this way can our country move forward and our nation rejuvenated! The sole purpose of the so-called diplomatic and non-political~governance assistance is to undermine the excellent situation of stability and unity in our country and to corrupt the will of our nation to struggle! In those so-called international organizations and agreements, there are also hidden evil purposes! ……

The German government ~ government under the leadership of Hitler only struggled for the survival and development of its own people! Those of our eternal enemies, the eternal enemies of Germany, from whose tongues can only flow lies! Any attempt to cooperate with them is a betrayal and a crime against the German nation! Betrayal and crime! We will fight these shameless and evil enemies to the end! Fight to the end! Forever! Until they are completely wiped out! …… We have overcome countless difficulties and achieved countless achievements, and no force in the world can stop us! The final victory will surely belong to the German people! ……”

Zhang Jun returned to the Berlin garrison with his SS First Panzer Corps, and used the power in his hands and his identity as Krupp's son-in-law to start working on equipment everywhere, mainly tanks, whether he was No. 3 or No. 4, or the old-fashioned Zhang Jun was not refused, the principle was that all tank soldiers must be able to drive tanks, no matter what model he was, as for the 700 copycat Type 99 main battle tanks that Zhang Jun ordered from Krupp, Zhang Jun would not plan to take them out now, These advanced weapons had to be brought to the battlefield suddenly after the war broke out, in order to give Germany at least an armor advantage for at least a year or two in the early stages of the war.

In the late stage of World War II, various anti-tank weapons emerged in an endless stream, such as the American Bazooka, tank technology is also changing with each passing day, and the current Shanzhai Type 99 may be a god-level existence for other countries, but two years later! Who can guarantee that the cottage 99 still has an overwhelming advantage, this situation is absolutely possible, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and other countries are very strong tank research and development capabilities, a weapon is impossible to completely control the outcome of the war, but it has a very important impact, so Zhang Jun developed the cottage 99 type can only get about two years of absolute advantage, two years of partial advantage, and then it will be evenly matched.

Therefore, Zhang Jun's weapon research and development technology can not be stopped, must continue to develop and surpass, another god-level weapon RPG bazooka, Zhang Jun does not plan to use it now, this weapon is easy to manufacture, easy to carry by individual soldiers, powerful, the threat to Germany's armored tactics is too great, and the imitation of the enemy country is also very fast, so Zhang Jun is now equipped with a large number of "iron fists", which was completely enough in the early days of the war, Zhang Jun only increased the direct firing range of the iron fist to 250 meters.

Zhang Jun was wantonly fishing for weapons and equipment for his troops, and the time finally came to September 1938, when the 1st SS Panzer Corps had finished hunting and could be driven to the battlefield at any time.

British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is still living his "dream of peace." "Obviously, Britain is far away from the war, and of course France is not stupid, it will be cannon fodder for Britain, and the ambiguous attitude of the two great powers further proves Hitler's inference that the peaceful recovery of the Sudetenland is not a distant future, and he will achieve it soon. The appeasement policy of Britain and France gave Germany more choices, and although Britain and France now adopted a policy of appeasement, Chamberlain still tried to mediate diplomatically, hoping that Germany and the Czech Republic could peacefully resolve the Sudetenland dispute.
