Behind a camouflaged underground fortification of the German Siegfried Line, at the gate of a barracks fenced with barbed wire, several sentry soldiers held cigarettes and looked boredly at the endless highway and disappeared into the distance.

After a while, a slight engine sound came, and among the sparse bird calls, this somewhat gloomy forest had traces of civilization for a while. One soldier dropped the cigarette butt from his mouth, stomped it out with his foot, then raised his chin to signal that his companion was approaching, and several men held the rifle over their shoulders.

The car was getting closer, but it was not a German-style military vehicle, but a French Army car, with a dozen French soldiers on it, with white armbands on their arms, but all carrying long guns. The cars were painted with German words, which were the Commission and the Allied Arms Control.

At a glance, this car knew that it belonged to the Coalition Arms Control Committee, and there must have been nothing good about coming over this time. So several German soldiers did not hesitate, and immediately stood in the middle of the road and signaled the car to stop.

"Boom, Tick!" The car honked, but it did not mean to slow down at all, and the German soldiers saw that they were not good, and quickly got out of the way, and the car flew by the corners of their clothes, startling several people into a cold sweat.

"******! Chase!" a German soldier swallowed, then stomped his foot and shouted, "Quick!" The reason why they did not have communication equipment was because two or three hundred meters behind them there was a Wehrmacht checkpoint with a barricade, which was the real checkpoint to intercept passing vehicles, and they were only responsible for patrolling and guarding the perimeter.

They ran back as desperately as they could, and sure enough, before they had run 200 meters, they saw the car parked in the middle of the road, and in front of the car were a roadblock and almost a full platoon of Wehrmacht soldiers. A few people gasped and walked over, pointed at the French soldiers with cold eyes and scolded: "Bastards! They trespassed on military strongholds! We have made them stop, and they drove into ......."

Before they finished speaking, they noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and they also closed their mouths in amusement. Bypassing the French soldiers, they walked to their own side, and followed the example of holding their guns and pointing their guns at these Frenchmen, and some simply pulled down the bolt of their guns and loaded all the bullets.

"We are the Allied Arms Control Commission! We have the power to enter any part of Germany to inspect your armaments! If you don't want to be court-martialed, get out of the way!" said a judicial officer at the head. As he spoke, he looked at the German officer standing in front of him with a pistol in his hand, his face stern.

"In front of us is the important military defense of our army, and no one is allowed to enter it casually!" Officer De sneered, not flinching at all: "Unless there is an order from the commander of Army Group A, General Rundstedt, I ask you to return immediately!"

Germany had a total of 19 divisions and about 300,000 troops on the Western Front. They were assigned to Army Group A, commanded by General Rundstedt, and Army Group B, commanded by General Commander Wilhelm Lister. Both units were infantry divisions with only a small number of self-propelled guns - that is, assault gun fighting vehicles No. 3.

Of course, half of these divisions were undocumented or recorded but very chaotic, so both the French * team and British intelligence analysis always believed that the German army had about 200,000 troops on the Western Front, most of them were light infantry divisions, and were not equipped with heavy artillery, so they did not pose much threat to the French Maginot Line.

However, they are not so vulnerable as they seem, these troops are well-trained and well-equipped, with plenty of iron-fisted anti-tank rocket launchers, and are equipped with a large number of 150 mm caliber infantry guns and war horses, although their mobility is very limited, but according to the world's military standards, these two armies are undoubtedly the main force of the formidable infantry army.

"Bastard! We are the arms control committee of the victorious powers! Your peace treaty gives us the power to inspect any area! How dare you obstruct it?" The adjutant of the French officer was furious, and pointed to his own cylindrical military cap with a hood covering his French characteristics and said: "This is the pass! Otherwise, we will teach you another lesson with the cannon!"

The German officer raised his eyebrows, but still did not take a step back: "I'm sorry! I don't know any arms control committee! I am only loyal to the Führer and serve the German people! If you make any more unreasonable trouble, you are welcome!"

Joke, after this checkpoint, across a forest, is the main position of the German Siegfried border defense line, how can it be casually visited and inspected by foreigners? You have to say that there is a reinforced concrete defense line inside, and there are dozens of large-caliber fortress artillery, you can just go in and have a look...... Inside the damn are two broken trenches, and a dozen or so small dirt bags directly pasted with reinforced concrete covers, don't we all show the stuffing when you go in and take a look?

The tens of thousands of workers requisitioned for the Siegfried Line were either busy building roads and railways, or building several underground ammunition depots as military strongholds, and most of the fortifications on the top of the hill were the work of a dozen cement workers in an afternoon, how could they easily let the French go in to inspect them...... There's nothing worth checking isn't - of course the inside story is worth investigating, but it might turn out to be exciting.

This was not the case in the eyes of the French, and it must have been the construction of a large number of elaborate fortifications, the presumption of artillery exceeding the prescribed caliber, the deployment of a large number of machine guns and pillboxes, and even the number of German troops stationed on the defensive line in excess of the required number - if this is found, it will be a great achievement!

More than 30 German soldiers were obviously much more than the dozen or so French soldiers in front of them, of course, they would not be polite to the French soldiers, and more than ten years had passed since the war, and the cowardice that had been frozen in everyone's hearts because of the defeat had long since disappeared, and was replaced by the incomparable confidence and admiration for the strength of Germany under the Führer.

"Is that so?" In order to ease the atmosphere on both sides, the German * official stared at the legal * official and said: "I will call and ask my superiors, and if they allow it, I will let you go." ”

The legal official did not speak, which means that he agreed with the construction of the moral official.

......

Germany, Berlin, Führer's Palace.

Accardo took his speech from Fanny and began another speech into the microphone, this time determined to bring Germany out of the shadow of defeat in World War I and become one of the most powerful empires in the world.

"Today, as your head of state, I stand here to bring you hope! May it bring happiness and prosperity to you, to the great German people!"

Accardo glanced at the speech in his hand, and continued to concentrate on the microphone and said: "In the past few years, I have led you to take back the Rhineland region that belongs to us......!

Not far away, Fanny asked Accardo's royal photographer Hugo, who was constantly taking pictures, "Is he handsome again?" My God, it's fascinating to see him look down at the speech. ”

"I said, Miss Fanny, the great head of the German Propaganda Department, can you not be so insensitive? I want to work in peace for a while!" Hugo pressed the shutter, the magnesium light "banged", and a photo of Accardo at work was freshly released.

Accardo continued his work in front of the microphone, not noticing Fanny's peachy eyes underneath: "As the head of the German Führer, I supported the women's liberation movement and boldly appointed women workers to participate in the work of the government, thus improving the efficiency of the German government. In two years, I secured 200,000 jobs for women and increased Germany's industrial output by a third compared to the previous year's growth. ”

"The people of Czechoslovakia and Austria, having joined the German family, have seen a marked increase in their standard of living, a steady increase in industrial output, and a decline in unemployment in Germany year after year...... I am compelled to proudly announce to you here that I have made the oath I made to you during the election campaign - I, the Führer of Germany, have done it!"

On the other side, Anna, dressed in a women's Wehrmacht uniform, chatted with two SS Führer Guard bodyguards: "Yes, he is the hope of the whole of Germany, and the hope of me alone!

The two bodyguards straightened their bodies and raised their chins higher - yes, the people they were protecting were God's gift to the German people, the pride of the entire German people, and the fundamental guarantee that Germany would continue to be strong. So they are proud, they are proud, they are honored to be able to protect such a great German man, and they are willing to give their lives for this man in front of them.

The Führer continued his speech without interrupting: "I cannot help but ask myself, what else has not been done? Soon I will have an answer! Gentlemen! There is still an institution in our territory that hinders our independence! This institution curtails our army and does not give us the power to defend ourselves! Should we put up with such an unequal existence? No, should we swallow our anger and let others take charge of our family? No! Freedom is our yearning! Strength is the foundation of Germany's existence! Therefore, I solemnly declare here! The German Government will no longer recognize the legitimacy of the Allied Arms Control Commission! The German Government will order the Allied Arms Control Commission to dissolve and leave German soil within a time limit!"

"Long live the Führer!" "Long live Accardo, Rudolph!" In the broadcast room, everyone who heard these words raised their right hands, their waists had never been so straight, and they had never felt the strength return to their bodies as they did at this moment.

On the Siegfried Line, next to the checkpoint post, the German officer put down the phone in his hand and walked up to the officer: "Dear sir, the Allied Arms Control Committee has been disbanded by order of the Führer, if you don't leave, we will open fire!"

He raised the corners of his mouth and looked triumphantly at the earth-colored magistrate with a mocking expression on his face—how many years?
