On January 15, 1939, Lin Youde and his family returned to Potsdam from the Eagle's Nest, and the next day the news of the first round of Shenji duel broke out in China.

Originally, Lin Youde thought that the Ming Empire's dispatch of Shenji would force the front to retreat, because according to the fox's report, Guangdong's Huang Xin's magic guide armor was blocked by the old faction of the township regiment during transportation, and it would take 17 days to reach the front line of the Huai River, while on the other hand, the Ming Empire gave up the defense of the northern border, so it is likely to dispatch four Shenji at one time.

As we all know, once the number of Shenji duels reaches two to one, the inferior side is very dangerous, and it is likely that Shenji will be injured or even killed, so when Huang Xin does not arrive, the revolutionary army Shenji may be forced to abandon the Huai River, the first line, and retreat to Nanjing.

But that was not the case with the reports he received. The revolutionary army Shenji fought with the Ming Empire's Shenji on the front line of the Huai River, and in the case of a two-to-one disadvantage, he achieved the unexpected result of severely injuring one person and only slightly injuring himself. Now the whole situation has become very favorable to the revolutionary army, as soon as Huang Xin arrives, the number of Shenji will become one to one, and the revolutionary army has the advantage in the conventional troops.

At the end of the telegram sent by the NERV branch read: "It is predicted that the revolution will succeed in May or June, and that in the event of a war between Russia and Germany, we will make great efforts to restore the northeast and then to Yingzhou." ”

This good news made Lin Youde quite excited, if China contained Russia in the Far East, then the pressure on the frontal battlefield would be greatly reduced, at least there was no need to worry about the Russians transferring the Shenji from the Far East to form an overwhelming advantage.

At the same time, Lin Youde also felt strange about how the Shenji of the revolutionary army achieved such a victory with a two-to-one disadvantage, but unfortunately the information sent back did not describe the details, only mentioning that Yuan Shikai's granddaughter Yuan Weiting fought bravely and shocked the enemy.

On the one hand, Lin Youde asked the fox men to continue to collect information on the battle, and on the other hand, he began to inspect the preparation of the troops non-stop.

Because it was a bit strange to take a "captive" to inspect the troops, Lin Youde left Isabella in Sanssouci Palace and asked her to help the Institute of Theoretical Physics do it. Lin Youde's guards are in charge of Oh Chan, and in addition, because Lin Youde's daughters are all gods (Ysera's affairs are still undisclosed), the little gods have always had a morale boost when they come to visit the soldiers, so Lin Youde brought his three daughters.

Viola originally thought that Oh-chan was not enough to protect alone, so she wanted to come along, but now the center of Germany really has too many things to do, whether it is the fox or Sissi, and she can't leave, even Theresia has been persuaded by Sissi to come over to take on daily duties.

Lin Youde doesn't care, Nia has already experienced actual combat twice, and her appearance is not bad, both times she has achieved considerable results without equipment, and she is unharmed. In the future, when Nia grows up, even if she is not the first in the world, she will not be able to run second. And although Lilith is still a few days away from being a year old, she is a god after all, and it is still very difficult to kill her with conventional weapons, in the end, Oh-chan needs to protect Lin Youde and Ysera, and Nia can still help.

"Why didn't we fly this time?" On the train, Lilith asked curiously.

"Because taking the train is a feeling." Lin Youde regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, the people who could complain about him were not in the car now, and his words like this had no other meaning except to make Lilith look confused, so he said, "Actually, it's just Dad'......"

"Lilith, you haven't been on a train yet." Ysera interrupted Lin Youde's words, "So Dad took you here for a sit." Isn't it fun to ride the train? ”

"It's fun~" Lilith nodded vigorously, and then used her mouth to imitate the sound of the train moving forward, "Click!" ”

Lin Youde glanced at Ysera, and suddenly had the idea that it would be good if his daughter learned the skill of complaining.

At this point, the train begins to slow down.

An officer entered the room and saluted Lin Youde: "The front is the first stop of our inspection, sir. ”

"Very good," Lin Youde clapped his hands vigorously after speaking, "Girls, get ready to get out of the car, Niya, you are responsible for taking your sister." ”

Nia, who was lying on the couch of the special train car, got up and stretched hard before responding: "Okay! ”

With that, she picked Lilith up and let Lilith ride on her neck.

Lin Youde turned to Isera and said to his eldest daughter, "Follow me." ”

Ysera nodded.

At this time, the platform could already be seen outside the window, and the platform was full of German soldiers standing guard, and the troops who were lined up to greet them also entered the view of the window, and when Lin Youde saw the officers who greeted him, the train just stopped completely. I have to say that the Germans of this era are really meticulous in this regard.

Lin Youde waved his hand to his daughters: "Let's go, girls." ”

Then he was the first to walk towards the car door.

**

Lin Youde's inspection at this station was mainly combat engineer units, and he specially set up these combat engineer divisions to repair defense lines on the Polish plain and even on the German-Polish border to block the Russian army. These troops have only one purpose, which is to reach the key points as quickly as possible, and then build fortifications to stop the Russian army at any cost. To accomplish this task, these units revolve around this single purpose, from equipment to training.

In the case of individual equipment, for example, basically everyone in the unit carries mines, and any squad can quickly complete the setting up of a small minefield. For example, each squad of these units is equipped with anti-armor rifles, which can deal with the newly equipped light combat vehicles of the Russian army, and at the same time can harass the Russian soldiers. Lin Youde also set up a company-level demolition team for these troops, and the task of the demolition team was not to blow up the enemy's fortress, but to use explosives to dig a trap pit to deal with the war queen.

In terms of large-scale equipment, Lin Youde equipped them with an emergency production of anti-armor artillery vehicles, this kind of artillery truck artillery and anti-shield are installed at the rear of the hull, and after the enemy Zhanji approaches, they can directly withdraw from the gun position and drive away, escape from the enemy's attack range with speed advantage, and then enter the preset second sniper position - this design idea is similar to the turretless tank in Sweden in another time and space, of course, this car does not have the anti-sky suspension system of the Swedish tank.

Each combat engineer division consisted of a self-propelled artillery brigade equipped with this special artillery vehicle plus two combat engineer brigades, and according to Lin Youde's plan, twenty such divisions would enter Poland in the first twenty-four hours of the Russian invasion and begin to build a defensive line on Lin Youde's pre-selected line of attack.

Ideally, these divisions would be pre-positioned in Poland, but the Polish government refused to agree to allow the Germans to be stationed in Poland.

Lin Youde also had a headache for the stubborn and disobedient Polish government, they were not willing to give up resisting the Russian army on the border and turned to stepped defense, and they were unwilling to let the German army enter on a large scale, but they just asked Lin Youde for weapons and equipment, which made Lin Youde very unhappy.

However, in such a situation, Lin Youde could not move the Polish government, NERV's foundation in Poland was quite good, with branches all over factories and farms, and if Lin Youde was willing, he could instigate a revolution at any time to overthrow the current Polish government and establish a "more pan-humanist" regime, but this could lead to the double-heartedness of the Union of Human Innovation, which still adopted the monarchy.

In such a situation, the only way to do this is to form a single-task force.

During the inspection, Lin Youde found that the planned 20 divisions had actually only been formed, and the other 10 divisions were still only empty formations, and in terms of weapons and equipment, mines, explosives, and anti-armor rifles were fully equipped, and heavy machinery used in other projects was also equipped because of the small number, but the number of Chrysanthemum self-propelled artillery equipment was far lower than the planned level, and each self-propelled artillery brigade was only equipped with 100 vehicles on average.

Lin Youde called directly to Berlin to talk to Viola, only to learn that most of the production capacity was used to produce combat vehicles and infantry combat, and the resources that could be used to produce this pure defensive weapon were very few. In particular, the barrels of artillery, high-quality barrels produced by Krupp and Rheinmetall were either supplied to new combat vehicles that rolled off the production line, or were loaded into barreled artillery for regular artillery units.

Lin Youde made several phone calls in a row, and finally found some old sealed gun barrels in a warehouse in Saxony, and immediately decided to take them out and install them on the self-propelled guns for the combat engineer division.

After finishing all this, Lin Youde returned to his special train. The special train is equipped with luxurious bedrooms and study rooms, and all living facilities are available, and Lin Youde intends to stay on the special train throughout the inspection, so as to reduce potential safety hazards on the one hand, and on the other hand, avoid wasting the already dwarfed manpower on preparing a place for Lin Youde to stay.

As it is now, after the inspection, I can return to the special train, get up during the day, just as the train departs, and go to another inspection site in the afternoon, which is convenient and fast. This is one of the reasons why Lin Youde took the train instead of the plane for this inspection.

And another reason is that taking the special train makes Lin Youde feel an inexplicable pleasure. When he was a child, he developed the impression that people who rode the special train were very special and this impression has been maintained to this day - although he later found out that the big people who liked to ride the special train in the movies he watched as a child ended up in the end of history. The most obvious is a certain bald head, who appears either on an airplane or a special train, and then he is hit by the wide forehead of a horse at most when he appears on the other side of the sea.

That night, Lin Youde took a bath and talked with his daughters for a while, so he asked the maid to take his daughters to sleep, and Oh Chan and him were left in the study of the special train.

Oh-chan sat on the sofa, leaning on the window and looking at the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the platform outside, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Youde stretched out after reading the report for a while, and then lost the interest in continuing to work. He looked at Oh-chan and felt that Oh-chan didn't look like he wanted to "play" today, so he took out a novel from the bookshelf behind him, and planned to spend his last time tonight reading the famous book.
