Dealing with state affairs, meeting important visitors, and coordinating all parties, Lynn has put a lot of energy into these things that he has never done before, and for a novice, he has done quite well, but there is still a clear gap compared to those mature politicians, and if you want to compare with the great leaders of history, there is still a long, long way to go.

Busy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Lynn entered the second month of her career as president of the German Democratic Republic through political elections. At this crucial beginning, the new regime did not have an intractable crisis situation as the outside world had feared, and even the heavens favored the country that had just emerged from the flames of war, and the nationwide agricultural harvest made people not have to worry about the coming winter, and the new government promulgated a series of tax cuts and support policies that were conducive to the people's recuperation. Bridges and other facilities are also being rebuilt in an orderly manner, and the entire country is like a ruin blown by a spring breeze, showing vigorous vitality with tenacious sprouts.

When the time was ripe, Lynn stepped out of the office and took a special train to begin his first tour as president of the country. After leaving Berlin, the train headed east and soon arrived in the border town of Gelso on the banks of the Oder River. Just over 30 years ago, it was the eastern hinterland of Germany, with the Second Reich extending as far east as the Vis River in east-central Poland, and at the height of the Third Reich, Germany's borders were more distant than ever. Prosperity yesterday is like the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, it becomes illusory in the blink of an eye, and today's German ** people have to build border fortifications in this area less than 100 kilometers away from Berlin.

In the Army's 1st Infantry Corps Commander Herman. Accompanied by Balk, Lynn ascended to a hill post located on the riverside. Scoop up the binoculars and look across the bank, where every red flag waving in the wind represents a formidable Soviet unit, and these red flags form an endless ocean, and there is an amazing energy beneath the calm surface. As soon as Moscow gives the order to attack, they will swoop in a tsunami, sweeping unstoppably!

As a soldier who has been born and died on the battlefield. At the same time, he is also a qualified staff officer and commander who combines theory with practice, and Lynn did not pretend to ask about the deployment of the army, he really knew very well that it was on this side of the riverbank. The 1st Infantry Corps, which was alone and alone, defended the German-Polish border, which stretched for 300 kilometers from north to south, with an average density of 100 men per kilometer, which could not even be regarded as a "paper line", and the huge disadvantage in numbers could not be compensated for by any advanced weapons or strong fortifications. With the profound lessons of the Maginot Line, Lynn was on the issue of homeland defense and used von. The generals of the army, led by Field Marshal Weix, were unanimous, that is, people should be put first, and technical equipment should be second, and rigid fortifications would be both financially expensive and difficult to function. Except for those that must be repaired to stabilize the people's hearts, the rest can be saved.

Leaving the post and heading down the hill, Lynn improvised a few questions about General Balk's average age of soldiers and the armament of his company, to which the highly distinguished and decorated general answered them fluently. During World War II, there were many generals in the German team who were promoted and reused by virtue of their personal ability, and Balk was also one of them, he became the commander of the group army step by step from the regiment commander from the Western Front campaign, and the military rank was also promoted from lieutenant colonel to first class general. One can find in him all the qualities of a typical German commander: bravery, aggressiveness, tenacity, uprightness, great personality, and a high sense of responsibility and professionalism.

Today, the total size of the German ** team is barely equivalent to the "100,000 Wehrmacht" in the Weimar period, and although the number is limited, the ambition to become strong cannot be extinguished. Follow the pattern of past success. Those who can gain a foothold in this army must be one in a hundred elite soldiers. Of course, due to the close attention of the international community, the army was not able to conduct elite training in a big way during this period, soldiers were still only receiving ordinary military drills, and officers could only be trained in a very covert way. …,

At the foot of the hill was stationed an ordinary infantry company in the barracks, and the current personnel were only 60% of the establishment standard, and although they wore refurbished old uniforms and were not as equipped as the German ** team of ten years ago, these soldiers were still in good spirits, and most of them looked calm and sophisticated. Then I picked a few questions. Not only had they served in the Wehrmacht, but most of them had been drafted into the Wehrmacht before 1944 - unlike the National Assault Battalions at the end of the war, these regular soldiers were more formally trained, and they had been honed in head-on battles with the Allies or the Soviets, and their quality was unquestionable.

The Second Reich collapsed in 1918, leaving its successors with a largely intact indigenous industrial system and a large surplus of weapons to pay war reparations. At least the Weimar-era German army did not have to face the embarrassment of the lack of rifles, but in the newly formed GDR Army unit, an infantry company deployed in the border area had only 50 Mauser 98s, 10 MP40s and 2 MG-42s, which meant that the soldiers needed two people to share a gun, and the ammunition stored was only enough to last them a few days of fighting. Before examining the soldiers' weapons, Lynn was mentally prepared, but it was still very uncomfortable to see the carefully polished and reoiled rifles, and to see the old-fashioned lines and mottled scratches that told them of their age. The same German armament, the free emperor ** team that sharpened the sword for four years is a proud eagle, under the same conditions, they can easily humiliate the battle-hardened Soviet army, the most representative technical weapons are still completely superior to the Allied troops, if the 400,000 emperor ** team can be completely integrated into his own fledgling German army, Lynn can instantly look up to a higher strategic goal!

Leaving Geltso, Lynn and his entourage made a tour north along the main railway line. Several railway bridges along the way were still being rebuilt, and the train had to take a detour, which took a day to travel for four or five hours, which shows how much the destruction of German resistors during the Soviet occupation had an impact on the Soviet army's combat movements. Ironically, he was able to stand in Stettin's port thanks to the "gift" of the Soviet Union's withdrawal, which was supposed to be part of Poland's territorial claims after the end of World War II, but in the war between the Allies and the Soviet Union, the Poles chose the Allied side, and this wrong side made Poland fall back into the occupation zone three years after regaining independence. When the Soviets withdrew from Germany, the Ness-Oder River was used as the German-Polish border, and they unilaterally announced that Stettin, located at the mouth of the Oder River, would be divided into two, with the west bank of the river going to Germany and the east bank of the river going to Poland. The international community did not dispute the withdrawal of Soviet troops as a compliment, and the German government could only accept the status quo for the time being. In the eyes of political analysts, the Soviet Union's move created a second "Danzig", and even if the Soviet Union withdrew its troops from Poland in the future, it would still leave a territorial dispute with neighboring Germany and Poland, so as to contain the stronger side of the two and wait for an opportunity to profit from the territorial dispute.

The port of Stettin was under the control of Germany and Poland, while Poland remained under Soviet occupation because the referendum result was in favor of the Soviet Union, and it was the Soviet Union that jointly controlled the port of Stettin with Germany. Compared with the Soviet army, which stationed an elite infantry division and had aircraft and ships, the German ** brigade of a mere battalion was very thin. Although the international community did not restrict the GDR from rebuilding its air force and navy, the new German Navy and Air Force only inherited the resounding empty shell after years of war and repeated looting by the Soviet army. In the air force, the Soviet troops destroyed the equipment that could not be taken away before they withdrew, so much so that Adolf. Galland and his air force personnel could not even piece together a complete fighter, and the United States reverted to a "cash and carry" policy because of the new agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union, and the Luftwaffe still got a few old biplane he-51s from Spain that had been aided to them during the Vulture Legion, but fortunately, the new factory in Messerschmidt had entered the substantial construction stage, and if it went well, it would be able to restart the production of aircraft in a few months; In the navy, as long as there are tugboats and cannon-carrying "patrol boats", Marsha can get rid of the suspicion of being a bare-bones commander, but the long life cycle of the shipbuilding industry is likely to make him always fill the ......... with irregular warships during his tenure.

The inspection itinerary has just begun, and Lynn's thirst for the imperial ** team has risen from envy to coveting, but the national society, especially the Soviet Union, does not want to see the "two Germanys" merge into one, if it is forced, it will inevitably lead to the evil consequences of Soviet intervention, which Lynn is both clear and helpless. On the other hand, the reich's top brass was bent on reviving Germany, and now that Germany had regained its independence, they could only see the fruits of victory that were close at hand, and the feeling of not being able to grasp them could not be described by ordinary words such as worrying and having trouble sleeping. Under the double pressure of internal and external pressure, the Führer's patience was quickly consumed, since Lynn took office, he repeatedly sent special envoys to discuss the transition of power, Lynn reassured on the grounds that the situation was not stable, but in exchange for more and more high-level envoys and more and more urgent requirements, and when Rommel himself appeared in front of him, Lynn knew that the top of the empire had not allowed himself to delay so much, but the international situation had not improved significantly, and the domestic people were also bent on seeking peace, If you go against the tide according to the will of the imperial base camp, or go against the will of the base camp according to the trend, it will be a desperate move for yourself, and if you fail, you will never recover, but once you succeed, what awaits you will be a new realm of willows and flowers!
