Chapter 68 068 Where the Power Is
Coming out of the cement bunker at the test site, Lin Youde looked at the sky and found that after days of heavy snow and cloudy days, a small piece of blue sky was revealed in the clouds in the sky at this time.
The winter sun sets from the clouds and shines on the snow-covered earth. Lin Youde looked at the soldiers who were clearing the snow, and suddenly there was a **** who wanted to "take a walk", so he turned back to Chihiro and said, "Accompany me to inspect the troops?" ”
"If you want the two of you to have a sweet date, just say it!" Saying that, the fox jumped lightly with his feet together and landed next to Lin Youde, but the snow under his feet just stepped on the ice formed by the solid step, and he slid directly. She let out an exclamation, and the center of her body fell directly to the side, but fortunately, Lin Youde quickly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
"It's pretty reliable when it's critical." The fox lay in Lin Youde's arms, smiling.
Lin Youde shook his head, pulled her away from him, and turned around to take a step.
The fox immediately followed and grabbed his arm.
Lin Youde walked with the fox in the snow in the sun like this, and others seemed to be indeed on a sweet date. Hybert led a group of national soldiers and followed far behind, while Lin Youde's car slowly moved farther away.
Soon Lin Youde walked up to the group of soldiers who were clearing the snow from a distance he had just seen, and the soldiers all knew Lin Youde—even if they didn't know Lin Youde, they should know the fox next to him—so everyone stopped clearing the snow and stood up and saluted in the direction of Lin Youde.
The officer who led the team quickly ran to Lin Youde and saluted Lin Youde: "The 31st Light Infantry Battalion of the 12th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the National Volunteer Corps is clearing the snow. ”
Lin Youde nodded, and then smiled at the soldiers: "You have worked hard, I will ask the logistics department to give you more food today." ”
After a handful of leadership addictions, Lin Youde continued to walk slowly in the snow, and soon he arrived at the barracks of the 3rd Division of the National Volunteers, which was only halfway built, just like the test site next door.
Although after compromising with the parliament, Lin Youde only retained three national volunteer divisions with less than 80,000 people, but the three divisions retained by Lin Youde can be described as a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
The backbone of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Volunteer Division, the only Workers' Red Guard unit to break through from Dessau in the civil war, this unit, with the support of Task Force 141 and Hybert's intelligence agencies, insisted on fighting behind enemy lines, and after receiving the secret phrase "the air is trembling as if the sky was burning", it also took the initiative to attack the nearby Imperial army barracks, beating a reserve division of the Imperial Army until it surrendered.
After learning the news that the Red Guards were going to be disarmed, this unit thought that someone was going to steal the fruits of the revolution and was ready to mutiny. After that, Lin Youde gave the regiment a code name: "Iron Man", and personally designed a military emblem and flag for them.
The second regiment of the first division is the fastest interspersed unit in the big ****, and the troops have been forcibly marching, and finally arrived at the interspersed position nearly thirty hours ahead of schedule. Then, the commander, who was still the captain of the detachment at the time, found that the enemy was negligent in preparation, so he decisively attacked the enemy with a tired force, and finally infiltrated the rear of the enemy's city defense through the sewers in the city with the cooperation of local workers, and successfully implemented the central flowering, completely defeating the defenders of the city.
Lin Youde gave the nickname "Genghis Khan" to the second regiment formed with this detachment as the backbone, and the military emblem was designed based on the Mongolian cavalry. In addition, what makes Lin Youde feel very interesting is that the commander of this regiment is surnamed "Kali Woods", and he has a son named Otto? Carly Woods, combined with the location of his home, Lin Youde is very sure that this son is the "Tiger King" Otto of his original world? Karius.
However, in this world, Otto will not open an emergency product like a tiger, and he is not sure what Lin Youde will match him, anyway, there must be something with inclined armor and better performance.
In addition to these two regiments, the Third Division that Lin Youde visited this time also had many very promising troops.
The 9th Regiment was the first regiment of sailors who had fallen to the workers during the Hamburg uprising, and after the end of the civil war, the navy refused to allow them to return to the army on the grounds that they did not obey military orders. So Lin Youde took in these sailors and gave them the nickname "Water Ghosts", and then Lin Youde put their station next to the canal near Sanssouci Palace, and built an amphibious infiltration training ground in this station, preparing to train this regiment into his own "seal" commando.
In short, Lin Youde retained the structure and backbone of the Red Guard units that performed well in the civil war.
Lin Youde knew very well that the troops needed traditions, and that rigorous training could certainly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, but the strength from tradition should not be underestimated. Some units with a glorious tradition are able to exert their combat effectiveness beyond that of other units, and the more fierce and large-scale the war, the more important this tradition becomes: in that kind of war, both sides are exhausted after the fight to the extreme, and as long as one side can find even the slightest advantage, it may become the last straw that crushes the tide of battle.
Of course, the politicians of the government of the republic are not fools, of course they know what it means that the elite troops of Lin Youde's three divisions are placed next to Berlin, and the biggest reason why they did not interfere with Lin Youde is that Lin Youde does not have a war army.
Originally, there was a detachment leader named Ruthmary in the war queen unit of the war revolt who seemed to be interested in Lin Youde, but in the end, this captain and her troops were still in the hands of the Assembly of the Republic.
And Lin Youde, on the other hand, deliberately did not require his own battle queen troops - so that he could have more freedom to run the three divisions in his hands.
Lin Youde's business methods are also peculiar in the eyes of German soldiers.
Lin Youde's three divisions, except for the sailors, were not out of production, and he did not let the Red Guards, who were born as workers, work in the factories, but let them take over the nearby farmland, pastures and fruit forests on the spot, and farm the land under the guidance of the common people. It was almost the autumn harvest time of 1931 when these fields were taken over, and around Sanssouci there was a magical scene of a bunch of people in military uniforms helping the peasants to harvest.
In this way, Lin Youde's three divisions took care of the agriculture in the garrison on a shift basis, and the units that were not in charge of the agricultural land were trained.
Lin Youde's explanation of this is very high-sounding: "We are the army of the working people, and we naturally have to work in order to prevent us from becoming pure murderers like the old army in the past." ”
Not only that, Lin Youde himself also took the lead in labor, and his favorite thing to do was to personally trim the garden of Sanssouci Palace.
And Lin Youde's real intention is actually to paralyze Berlin and act, but he didn't expect that this acting would give birth to a new tradition for the German army.
In addition to the backbone of these three divisions, Lin Youde is also honing his "sharp knife". Task Force 141's outstanding performance in the civil war strengthened Lin's determination to carry out the special operation to the end, and all the surviving task force members were reconvened by Lin Youde - and then he found that the one named Price had actually died!
But Lin Youde found another cowman.
This cowman's name on this plane is Oz? Scholes, who studied civil engineering at the University of Vienna, was left with a terrible scar on his face when he duel for a love debt.
Except for his name and the origin of his scars, all of his circumstances are exactly the same as the special operations madman Lin Youde knew well.
So this natural person became the captain of Task Force 141.
Lin Youde ordered him to train a special forces force that excelled in infiltration, infiltration, sabotage, and reconnaissance. And this is not ambiguous, and immediately began to train those tough guys who have experienced the baptism of war.
Not only that, but he also asked Lin Youde to find the best teachers and teach these people cultural knowledge, so that they could adapt to the needs of all subsequent tasks.
In addition to this unit, Lin Youde also formed a unit called the "Heavy Construction Machinery Brigade", the main equipment of this brigade is all kinds of tractors, nominally this is a professional mobile baggage team, responsible for carrying out transportation operations in the areas controlled by our army, and building bridges and roads necessary for supplies.
But in fact, this is Lin Youde's armored teaching regiment, and there is no such thing as a tank in this time and space, so Lin Youde is not worried that others will think blindly.
After establishing this unit, he ordered soldiers to practice driving skills by strapping tree trunks to temporarily transferred tractors, and at the same time asked scientists such as Dr. Porsche, who had defected to his name, to develop a "field tractor" that "could brave enemy fire and carry out battlefield transportation regardless of the harsh terrain."
Interestingly, almost all of Lin Youde's subordinates thought that this brigade was really a brigade that was going to drive tractors to run transportation, and even the officers and soldiers of the brigade thought so, so they were very frustrated - especially after Lin Youde ordered this brigade to participate in the local autumn harvest, the morale of this brigade was extremely low.
Lin Youde is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to clarify this point when the "battlefield tractor" comes out.
Lin Youde originally planned to set up a "battlefield air ambulance company" or something, but after a careful understanding, he found that the current industrial level of Germany was not yet able to build a helicopter that could be used in actual combat, so he gave up.
By the end of 1931, Lin Youde's new concept unit had begun to take shape, and it was a unit that had not thought of relying on the strength of Zhanji and Shenji to win the battle from the beginning of its formation, and all the members of this unit were ordinary people.
But everyone in this unit is familiar with Lin Youde's "Declaration of Humanity" (abridged version), and they are ready to fight for the glory and dignity of ordinary people with their own hands at any time.
Now, Lin Youde is inspecting this unit, and although it is only temporary, he is still ready to thoroughly inspect the strength of all three divisions plus one independent brigade.
Not only that, but after inspecting the Third Division, he called Leonardo, who is now the chief correspondent of the Chicago Herald Tribune in Sanssouci Palace, on a whim, and asked the Americans to follow him to inspect the troops.
On the way to the 2nd Division, Lin Youde said to the Americans:
"My army is made up of workers, they are like muscles, and my scientists are the symbol of wisdom. The two most precious things that nature has given to mankind are combined through large-scale industry, and they produce power! ”
The uncrowned king nodded his head, and soon a rousing report was sent to Chicago across the ocean via an undersea cable.
