"Adolf Hitler has just been executed. An officer rushed to report to Accardo with a certificate of Hitler's death and photographs of the scene: "He died very calmly, shouting Long live the Führer. ”

"What do the watchers say?" asked Accardo.

"Criminals are able to confess their sins in public and have the intention of repenting. Everyone became more convinced that Hitler was a member of the *squad. The officer bowed his head and said.

Accardo nodded, and suddenly asked Sindra, who was standing on the side, "How is the change of the flag going?"

In fact, everyone was very sympathetic to the situation of the Nazi Party, which was exploited by the Comintern, and many of the middle cadres of the Nazi Party had voluntarily merged into the Greater German Party. Things are going very smoothly. Sindra replied, "So, Congress is still very sure that the matter of changing the flag will be discussed." ”

"What about public opinion?" Accardo then asked, "Is there any resistance among the people to changing the flag?" ”

According to the SS news, the majority of the population was supportive, and many had already started to buy the new flag. Sindra replied: "Fanny's side is very well prepared, very successful in public opinion, and the swastika is now not a representative of the Nazi Party, but has become a symbol of the indomitable and united German people." ”

Accardo wanted to ask something, but at this time Gascoll knocked on the door and walked in: "My Führer!

"Moscow?" Accardo frowned, thinking to himself what was going on with the Soviets at this time? He waved his hand to Sindra and the officers who had come to report to him, motioning for them to go out, and when the office door was closed, Accardo asked again, "What information?" ”

"My Führer. Gascoll said with a solemn expression: "This time we lost a spy buried in Moscow, and sent back two very important news, the first news is about weapons and equipment, the Soviet Union began to enter service with a new type of tank, the military code name is KV-1, this tank has thicker armor and a larger caliber of artillery, which seems to have been specially developed to deal with our tanks." ”

Can such a thing as a KV tank work? Accardo sneered in his heart: It seems that the induction of the Soviet technology tree and the regression brought to the Soviet Union by the Great Purge eventually changed some historical processes. Thinking of this, he asked, "What about another news?"

I didn't expect the Führer to be so indifferent to the enemy's new weapons, and this attitude surprised Gascoll a little. According to the Führer's concern for German technical weapons, he should be a person who attaches great importance to the enemy's technology. But Accardo didn't give him time to think about it, and he had to say the second news.

"It has been repeatedly confirmed that the Soviets are moving troops on the Soviet-Polish border, and it seems that they are going to launch an offensive against Poland. Gascoll replied: "The news from the top of the Soviet Union is that Stalin, in order to consolidate his position in the army, is preparing to plan a second invasion of Poland to wash away the shame of the previous defeat in the Soviet-Polish war." ”

Accardo heard the news and fell into deep thought. Stalin's invasion was unprecedented in history, so it was difficult for him to judge the outcome of the invasion, but it was indeed a bold move by Stalin to seize military power. On the one hand, he could use the invasion of Poland to send troops to install his cronies, and on the other hand, he could train the army to prepare for greater ambitions in the future.

"Is the source reliable?" asked Accardo with a frown, he had used intelligence to calculate the Soviet Union more than once, don't calculate others every day, and in the end he was calculated by others.

"The information should be reliable, and we have confirmed some of the information through special channels, and some of the more accurate information, because the time relationship has not yet come back. "If intelligence screening is further expanded, it may expose spies and cause alarm on the Soviet side," Gascoll said. ”

"Go, bring General Brauchitsch and General Bock...... Forget it, I'd better go to the Wehrmacht General Headquarters myself. Accardo stood up and shouted to the outside world: "Anna, prepare the car at once! I will go to the Wehrmacht General Headquarters with General Gascoll! Let Sindra call them! Prepare the conference room." ”

Soon, Accardo met several military bigwigs in the conference room, and when these generals saw the Führer coming in, they all stood up and saluted: "Long live the Führer!"

"Long live Great Germany!" Accardo returned the salute and walked to his seat and sat down: "Please take a seat!"

"Führer, before you came, we also got this news from the intelligence department! We also had a discussion just now, and the key lies in the accuracy of this information. The Chief of Staff, General Bock, said softly.

Brauchitsch nodded: "My Führer, the news of the Soviet Union's attack on Poland actually did not have much impact on us, we can completely sell this news to the Poles, and then use General Rundstedt's plan to take the lead in attacking France and win the war." ”

In mid-1935, an incident occurred that complicated Germany's plan to go to war: British Prime Minister John MacDonald, who had not had a high approval rating at home, eventually resigned as prime minister and was replaced by Tory Baldwin as the new British prime minister.

"Britain is still busy with the formation of a cabinet, and we will have the advantage of war if we invade France. Bock followed suit. Now everyone is inclined to attack France first, because there is a high probability that the Soviet Union will contain Poland for them.

"What if we wait?" said Accardo, pointing to the map on the table, "We will wait for the Soviets to invade Poland, and then use a part of our troops to loot into Poland." Partition of Poland with the Soviet Union, but externally under the guise of preventing * westward expansion, so that we can avoid war. ”

"My Führer! What if this news is not accurate? What if the Soviet Union does not act against Poland at once? Wouldn't we have missed the best opportunity for war?" asked Brauchitsch, frowning, not wanting his Wehrmacht to suffer losses as a result of a foolish decision: "This would not be a problem if the attack on France would not arise, and Poland believed that a Soviet invasion was more likely." ”

"There is a question of timing in attacking France, and if we attack France suddenly, victory will not end the war, because the main force of the British is still there, and will not compromise lightly, and if we delay the progress of the war and attract the main force of England into the battle, the war will enter a stalemate, and we will lose. Accardo said, shaking his head.

"In that case. Brauchitsch stood up and said, "My Führer, the army will draw up a plan of action for an attack on Poland within a week, and the air force and navy will need to cooperate with the army's offensive plan. ”

Accardo nodded: "As far as I can come up with a feasible plan, I will inspect the Siegfried Line in the near future, so that the French will be more concerned about our Western Front forces." But there is one more thing we need to prepare. ”

"We are going to secretly send a diplomatic envoy to contact the Soviets and tell them about our German bottom line. Accardo pointed to the map and said, "We want half of Poland! including Warsaw! We want to take back the Danzig Corridor and complete the absolute integrity of Germany!"

"Once the war starts, we will only have about half a year to defeat Poland! If all this time passes, the French and the British will see through our plans and attack us!" Accardo narrowed his eyes and said, "I hope that the army can take Poland as quickly as possible." ”

Everyone stood up and saluted: "Long live the Führer! Germany will win!"

......

"Attack Poland! Send those capitalist watchdogs to a dead end!" Stalin sat in front of a group of generals and said loudly: "Be ready by the end of 1936! In the spring of 1937 we will regain our glory!"

Didn't they want to take this opportunity to install their own cronies in the army? What kind of bullshit Khrushchev actually became the political commissar of the front army in such a grand manner, and he knew what a fart military affairs! Several generals slandered in their hearts, but they said something else: "Great Comrade Stalin! We will definitely win this war against Poland! We will win honor for the motherland." ”

"The Soviet Red Army was ready. One of the generals stood up and pointed to the various units on the map and said: "Our army has concentrated 750,000 men, mobilized 230 tanks and 700 aircraft, and advanced into Warsaw in five large lines. ”

No one was optimistic about this offensive, because the Soviet army had hardly trained seriously since the Great Purge, many experienced commanders had already been imprisoned in concentration camps, and many more were directly shot under the label of *prostitution. Now the combat effectiveness of the Red Army can be half of that of the year, it is considered good, and the defense is not enough, let alone to attack Poland?

But at this stage, who would dare to tell Stalin the truth that he did not want to hear? So the general who explained the tactics reluctantly continued his grand plan: "In the far north, the 11th Army of our army ......"

"Report! Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet Union!" an officer entered the conference room, interrupted the general's report, came to Stalin, stood up and saluted, and said: "The German envoy has arrived in Moscow, and you have said that you will be notified as soon as the German envoy arrives." ”

"Look! Our allies are coming!" Stalin looked at the generals who were constantly wiping their foreheads, stood up and said: "I know that many of you are not optimistic about this battle plan! But I want to tell you! After my careful planning, we will be able to win this battle!"
