Chapter 10 Trivia
"How long has it been since you've tried to do it yourself?" Zhang Shixin, who was lying on the marching bed, couldn't help but think of this problem.
Although the personnel he brought over this time were not small, it was not so much that the twelve little devils could help, but that the twelve little guys were basically helping.
However, for Zhang Shixin, there is no way to avoid such problems. After all, none of the twelve imps are suitable as the commander of a unit. Because the other party can be regarded as having not received that kind of knowledge indoctrination.
They are all guarantees of the survival of humanity. Therefore, in that zombie-infested world, personal strength is obviously more important. As the final bottom line to prevent the extinction of mankind, the ability to command large forces does not seem to be needed or said that it is not necessary at all.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin was preparing to lead this team mixed with a large number of Spanish civilians on the way to the nearest port area according to the plan, and many things needed to be handled by him personally, so once it was time to rest at night, he found himself half tired and half dead.
After two days of slow action, Zhang Shixin's team arrived in an area about fifty kilometers west of Valencia. As for why Zhang Shixin appeared here, it was that he hoped to capture the port area of Valencia and send a large number of refugees to Italy.
There are many risks taken in this operation, not to mention Zhang Shixin's problem, whether the Italian pit man named Mussolini will cooperate with his action is the most critical question.
Although Zhang Shixin knew very well that Hitler was willing to help him with this, Hitler was also powerless now. After all, whether the Germans are geographically or in terms of their relationship with the British, Zhang Shixin knows very well that even if Hitler wants to help him, the German fleet, even if there are not too many accidents on the way, Zhang Shixin knows that the other party still needs to bypass the Strait of Gibraltar and reach the port on the Mediterranean coast.
Perhaps, when the Germans appeared in Valencia, Zhang Shixin knew that the daylilies were cold. Therefore, the Germans could not help with such a thing, and Zhang Shixin was not willing to take this risk.
Well, if the Germans are more powerless, then the Italians are less likely to have a surname to help him. Despite Hitler's mediation between the two sides, in the current situation, it was certainly a gamble to count on the Italians to help.
However, now Zhang Shixin does not have a very good choice, after all, for him, no matter what the situation is at that time, it is already an imperative action to build a port area.
The decision to play Valencia was not actually a good choice. However, Zhang Shixin knows very well that it is not so much to break through to Franco's side and round with the Condor Army of the Germans, in the case that he is now "dragging his family and mouth", to do such a thing, across almost the whole of Spain, I have to say, this kind of thing is even more nonsense.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin had to give priority to the consideration of tackling tough battles.
And Zhang Shixin never thought that Hitler did his best to help, and even made a plane from Berlin directly to Rome to have a discussion with Mussolini. It's a pity that the other party is still unmoved.
On the plane back to Berlin, Hitler pondered what else he could do to help Zhang Shixin, and if possible, he would even have the Condor Legion directly support Zhang Shixin. But such a thing will not work. Just like Zhang Shixin was unwilling to take risks, the main body of the Condor Legion was a "volunteer" unit dominated by flying troops, so he couldn't do this kind of thing.
He really hopes to be able to communicate with Zhang Shixin now, but just as the Spanish Republican Army has not found where Zhang Shixin is now, he doesn't know where Zhang Shixin is now.
It can be said that Zhang Shixin's radio silence ability has reached a point where he is quite speechless.
"......" looked out the window at the sea of clouds, and Hitler was thinking about something.
Of course, Hitler did not know that a few days later, Zhang Shixin would actually do something that surprised him.
And he couldn't help but think of a sentence Zhang Shixin gave him in the letter:
"If the noodles are reliable, the sows will go up the tree."
Hitler didn't know why Zhang Shixin looked down on Italians so much, but he also didn't have much affection for Mussolini, an arrogant narcissist.
If it weren't for the fact that there was really no better partner in Europe, Hitler said that he would not cooperate with each other anyway.
Although everyone was a fascist regime, Hitler was proud and confident of the current situation in Germany, in contrast to the gloomy Italy.
However, what Hitler did not know was that if it were not for the fact that Zhang Shixin knew very well that it was impossible to prevent the emergence of the Axis powers, Zhang Shixin would have preferred Hitler to go it alone in Europe.
The reason is very simple, if I say that I have played a role in containing a certain number of American troops (in fact, even if there was no Pearl Harbor incident, the participation of Americans in the war was inevitable. It's just a matter of finding a better excuse. As for whether the Pearl Harbor incident was Roosevelt's conspiracy or not, this is a matter of opinion, anyway, since the Maine incident can be used as an excuse to attack Spain, if the Pearl Harbor incident is really a premeditated plan by Roosevelt, and the cost of thousands of casualties among officers and soldiers is too great? The Italians, then, really seem to be good for nothing......
Well, it was barely enough to pass as a transport team, after all, it was not so much that the German army in North Africa relied on Germany's own transport fleet to transport supplies, but that it was Italy's Mediterranean Fleet that made the main effort.
Compared to this, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army, on average...... It can be said that among the major participating countries, there is no army with the worst performance.
Because the Italian army was not incapable of fighting, but did not have the will to fight. If a unit does not have the will to fight, then the war should not be carried on.
Why is it said that the Italian army did not have the will to fight?
Quite simply, because as the weirdest rumor in the history of World War II - a nurse captured a company, and the soldiers of that company were Italians.
At the same time, do you think that an army with the will to fight will be pushed back by the other side even in the face of the indigenous forces of Ethiopia, which are mainly cold-armed?
Obviously, the Italian army is no longer a question of whether it will fight or not, but basically does not want to fight from top to bottom.
Therefore, with such an ally, Hitler can be said to have fallen into bad luck for eight lifetimes.
According to rumors, after Italy was landed by the Allies, Hitler once roared:
"If I hadn't allied with these fools, I would have used five divisions of troops to drive these friendly troops who are stupider than pigs directly into the Mediterranean!"
It can be said that Mussolini was actually half-killed by these men, but Zhang Shixin knew very well that it was not so much that Mussolini was incapable, but it was also unrealistic.
Zhang Shixin thinks that this cheating daddy is more of an unrealistic narcissist plus a YY king.
The former is easy to understand, the latter is......
If you don't have the strength to cause trouble everywhere, you can't beat the Spanish Republic, the French after Dunkirk, you can't beat either, and the African natives in Ethiopia can't beat either.
Well, it can be said that Mussolini's YY king, is still quite worthy of the name.
Therefore, if he hadn't known that such a situation could not be changed, Zhang Shixin would not mind saying something from his heart to Hitler.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
Before Zhang Shixin launched an attack on Valencia, he asked Siegel, who was the captain of the Refugee Self-Defense Force? Martini sent men into Valencia to investigate the situation.
Siegel quickly complied with Zhang Shixin's request, because such a task was still within their reach.
However, Siegel is quite incomprehensible to Zhang Shixin's choice of a sheep-herding management for them, because according to his guess, Zhang Shixin should also be an ambitious person, otherwise he would not let them take up arms.
He didn't mind letting a foreigner like Zhang Shixin appear directly in the future situation in Spain, because he felt that if Zhang Shixin intervened strongly in the Spanish Civil War, then maybe Spain would soon be able to stabilize.
Zhang Shixin didn't know what this middle-aged man, who looked much better now, was thinking. He was now thinking about what he was going to do next.
Two days ago, the system quickly turned the drawings of the BF-109A and the Junkers JU-87 "Stuka" A1 into modules that can be produced and upgraded.
The production line for airplanes is not the same as for tanks, and the production line for large and small aircraft is also not universal. Therefore, Zhang Shixin had to buy a comprehensive production equipment for two small aircraft.
In terms of weapons, it is better to share a surname, and many things can be produced in the arsenal of the system space with the current production equipment.
The two small aircraft production lines are at full capacity, and about 10 aircraft can be completed in a day. As for the matching scheme, it is up to Zhang Shixin to decide.
In fact, Zhang Shixin's current aircraft surname is Neng, which has greatly deviated from the overall level of the world's mainstream military aircraft.
For example, Zhang Shixin can directly upgrade the BF-109A to the BF-109G/10 or even a better model, and the JU-87A1 is no exception.
Of course, Zhang Shixin did not follow the script, but chose the plan that he thought was more feasible.
For example, the BF-109 currently being produced is not the BF-109G-14 with the best fighter surname, but a BF-109NL equipped with night combat equipment and modeled on the BF-109G-10, NL refers to the night combat equipment type.
In fact, the aircraft equipped for night combat are of course not capable of attacking at night, but can exert a considerable degree of combat effectiveness during night combat.
As for the Ju-87 "Stuka", Zhang Shixin produced a multi-purpose night combat light bomber that can replace the belly and wing device.
In this case, the improved Ju-87 has in fact undergone significant changes in appearance compared to the various later models of the Ju-87.
First of all, the wing was changed to a flat wing with a rocket ammunition bay, and at each end of the wing, a weapon hook was added.
The equipment on the belly of the aircraft can be changed by attaching a 400mm torpedo, or four 75kg aerial bombs, or two 150kg aerial bombs, or 20 anti-tank small hollow projectiles.
Therefore, because of the addition of these equipment, even with a more advanced and better-handled aviation engine, this multi-purpose night combat light bomber, named the Ju-87S, is still slower and has a relatively short range.
Zhang Shixin knew that the accuracy of the Ju-87's dive attack was quite good, but he preferred an aircraft with a wider range of applications. Therefore, he chose this new "Stuka", which is also capable of diving attacks, but is more like an ordinary bomber.
What Zhang Shixin didn't know was that his idea, in a few days, would give him the initiative to decide his surname in a crisis.
……
The investigators sent to the city quickly reported to Zhang Shixin that the current Valencia is actually an undefended city.
Zhang Shixin was quite stunned by this situation. Because he didn't expect this to happen.
According to his idea, an important city like Valencia would have some enemy troops stationed there.
However, this situation is not a bad thing for Zhang Shixin.
So, Zhang Shixin arranged a mobile force to enter Valencia as the forward of the team.
Zhang Shixin, who was leading the team to Valencia, did not know that Mussolini had changed his original mind. Because it suddenly occurred to him that his army could launch a surprise attack on the Second Spanish Republic through the area of Valencia, using Valencia as a starting point, through the area actually controlled by the Second Spanish Republic.
Mussolini was not so much thinking about an armed intervention in the Spanish Civil War as he wanted to take the opportunity to annex Spain.
Therefore, the fact that the Second Spanish Republic and the Spanish people were quite disdainful and angry at the actions of the Italians, and that the Italians were the main hostile power, also included this not very complicated factor.
In fact, it's like two brothers in a family fighting for the actual control of power in this family, and there is not much of a problem in itself.
However, at this time, the neighbor came over with a watermelon knife and said that he was robbing.
Hehe, naturally, both brothers naturally don't have much affection for this neighbor. If it weren't for the fact that one of the brothers still had some thoughts about this neighbor, maybe the two brothers would have beaten you away first and then fought in the nest.
Mussolini's way of thinking seems to be very fond of using this means to achieve "ambition", but it is also because of this that he has repeatedly stolen chickens and rice.
The Spanish Civil War was like this, after the retreat from Dunkirk, the Italian army that attacked the south of France actually made the reserve French troops in the south of France, which were more like militia units, cry and cry. Not to mention the North African theater after 1943......
It can be said that Mussolini's unrealistic ambitions, in a sense, saved Italy, but buried the Third German Reich, which Hitler painstakingly managed.
Well...... Of course, that's another story.
And Hitler was quite stunned after getting Mussolini's change of mind, he didn't know what kind of person this so-called predecessor was, but he still replied to the other party and expressed considerable gratitude.
In contrast to this situation, Hitler asked Ressel to find Song Ziyan, let the other party fly to Lisbon, Portugal, and arrange for her to enter Spain as soon as possible by the local members of the Condor Legion.
Hitler had a hunch that Zhang Shixin would get along very unhappily with Mussolini.
For many reasons, Hitler hoped to be able to reverse the situation.
However, Hitler's calculation was wrong, that is, as Hitler's attendant, Reesel considered Song Ziyan's safety and directly arranged the other party to the first batch of Condor Legion garrisons to arrive in Spain. However, with the situation of the battle unclear, the commander of the Condor officer did not risk sending Song Ziyan to Valencia. Because it's a very dangerous thing to do. Even if there are pilots who are not afraid of death and have the confidence to complete this task. But this commander had to risk doing so for the sake of Song Ziyan's safety.
Therefore, when Song Ziyan arrived in Valencia, she was questioned by Mussolini's personnel, and Hitler, who was quite unhappy, almost let the German [***] team directly raze Italy.
This is also a very far-reaching change for some of the situations that should have occurred in the future.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
Zhang Shixin's entry into Valencia can be said to be quite peaceful. As the members of the Refugee Self-Defense Forces who infiltrated Valencia said, the defenders of Valencia have been drawn fairly cleanly.
Of course, it's not that some armed forces don't have it. At the very least, the local police have become the main force in the defense of Valencia.
However, when Zhang Shixin arranged for an M6 to appear at the door of the police station with several Crusader cruiser tanks and an armored car, these policemen raised the white flag very interestingly, and almost all the policemen simply laid down their weapons, walked out of the gate of the police station, and surrendered to Zhang Shixin's team.
However, it is not without bloodshed at all.
While Zhang Shixin was arranging manpower at the church and arranging the camp for the refugees, several members of the Self-Defense Forces stormed into several rooms of a hotel where the captured middle-ranking and high-ranking members of Spain [***] in Valencia were imprisoned......
After a while, a scream was heard on the street......
Less than two or three minutes later, when Siegel received the information and rushed to the hotel, before he could enter the hotel, he heard a gunshot from the hotel......
……
Zhang Shixin looked at Siegel who reported the situation speechlessly, although those who acted without permission had already been arrested (in fact, they automatically laid down their weapons and let Siegel's men arrest them), and were imprisoned in a small cell in the police station. But Zhang Shixin knows very well that the impact of such a thing can be said to be quite bad.
Zhang Shixin didn't expect such a thing to happen, but he could understand the mentality of those people. He knew very well, and Siegel naturally knew that such a thing was very clear, and maybe Siegel would like to take the lead in doing it himself.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin looked at Siegel for a while, and finally could only shake his head: "This matter...... Handle it yourself. Because it's your business. ”
Hearing this, Siegel was stunned for a while, then turned around and left after saluting Zhang Shixin with a non-standard military salute.
Sinia and Sinis appeared in front of Zhang Shixin, and then said, "Why do you want to let such a situation happen? You know very well that something like this can happen. ”
Zhang Shixin was silent, and after a long while, he said: "I'm not an immortal, I'm not a god, I can't let the hatred of these people disappear." They will do it, and no one else can stop it. Just as their family members and relatives and friends they know have encountered such a thing, they can only endure this situation. Suffice it to say, they shouldn't, but...... But they have a reason to do so. ”
"You're quibbling."
"Perhaps, but if there was no cause like this, how could there be such an outcome? I've always believed in the truth that if you turn a blind eye to your hatred, or if you don't care about it, then what is left of this person? Zhang Shixin sat back in his chair, looked at the flickering candlelight, and sighed slightly:
"That's fine, because those people are already getting the results they want. They can say that even if it is death, they can face it with a smile. ”
Zhang Shixin was silent for a long time when he said this.
As the two of them said, Zhang Shixin had expected such a thing to happen since he had asked these people to take up arms. In fact, he took a more acquiescing attitude towards this matter.
Because, among these people who are willing to take up arms, because of their origins, and what has happened to them, in fact, many have been blinded by hatred.
After Zhang Shixin asked them to find the weapons left behind by the fallen members of the Spanish army and saw quite a lot of "details" from the telescope, he knew that as the small landlord class most persecuted by Spain, these "survivors" could be said to have a blood feud with Spain.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin had expected this result for a long time.
And the reason why he didn't stop it was that because of this result, the rest of the people would come back to some senses.
It can be said that this is the best result that can be achieved at the lowest cost.
……
The next morning, under the watchful eyes of a large number of Valencian residents and refugees, Siegel walked up to the execution table, drew his Tokarev T33 pistol, loaded the bullet, and said to a young man: "I'm sorry. ”
"Captain, I'll leave the rest to you." The young man smiled, then closed his eyes......
Siegel's hand trembled, but Tokarev's T33 pistol still moved to the back of the young man's head......
"Bang!" ……
"Gurgle" ......
In the eyes of the people present, this was the result of a trial, and what happened next was also quite similar.
Siegel had communicated with a person, and then, with a trembling hand, he held the pistol and pulled the trigger on the back of the person's head.
These people soon died. However, these onlookers found that the people who were executed, without a word of pleading or cursing, what they had was calm and indifferent.
……
At this time, Zhang Shixin looked at what was happening in the distance, and there seemed to be a trace of unbearability in his heart...... (To be continued.) )
