.The Third Reich under the Ten Thousand Characters  Volume 5: Battle of Britain  Chapter 5: Historical Errors

Rick hesitated even more. The syllables of the three words "Treason" were pounding hard on Rick's head like a heavy hammer, causing a long buzzing sound in his mind. The black folder slid from Rick's hand, and the sound of touching fell on it made. His heart trembled unscrupulously, and his breathing became heavy.

Rick finally knew why Xu Yang's hand holding a black folder kept shaking. Now that the war is getting more and more difficult, anyone who receives such a black document will feel pain and depression. No one is willing to believe that the bloody battle of more than one million soldiers in front will be exchanged for the shameless betrayal of some people in the rear.

"How long has it been?" The voice was dry, and the low syllables revealed the questioner's anger towards the traitor.

Xu Yang pointed to the black folder on it and signaled Rick to pick it up, then said: "Four years, it may be longer. After the Empire regained Rhine, they began to contact the British. It was not until the Empire occupied the entire territory of Aoli that the two sides established a secret means of contact."

Rick exhaled a breath, and he slowly accepted this reality, but his mood was extremely heavy. He had a question, "Why didn't the British... or the allies stop us from the military operations of the invasion of Czechoslovakia?"

Xu Yang seemed to be recalling something, and after a long time he said, "There was a stop, but it didn't work. At that time, Adolf Hitler had already monitored the traitors, and the army they had no ability to send secret information to the secret has stepped into Sudeten. And

Xu Yang was a little hesitant when he talked about this. That period of history was actually not very glorious for the Third Reich of Germany.

"Since the army entered Sudeten, the empire also fell into chaos. Some generals of the National Defense Army and most members of the Congress were all placed under house arrest by Adolf Hitler in the National Grand Theater in Berlin. Generals who controlled the army were also strictly monitored at the Ministry of Defense on Bander Street. Adolf Hitler was an amazing person. He dared to take risks and was good at guessing the psychology of others, but he was too confident..."

Rick understood the situation later, and it was also because of Adolf Hitler's strong self-confidence that the National Defense Forces had the opportunity to gather strength and launch a coup with Halvánsdarkle, which forced Adolf Hitler, who was in Munich at that time, to take a special train to turn to Otiri. This was why the Iron Bridge explosion on the Ens River, and history officially changed its trajectory here.

The allies did think about stopping the military invasion of the Third Reich of Germany, but then they suddenly interrupted the plan, which was caused by the internal chaos of the Third Reich of Germany.

At this time, the allies were not ready. Their government had realized that the war was coming, but their troops had not yet gathered together, and most of the military supplies were still on the production line, let alone the necessary war funds.

When the leaders of the allied states met in private, they once judged that the Third German Emperor might change something. The heads of the allied states passively believed that the Third German Empire, which replaced its leaders, might change its policies and give up the invasion of other countries. To put it bluntly, the heads of the allied states did not believe that the Halvonsdaq, who only knew how to build an economy, had the courage to start a war.

"Our mistake is to rely too much on the power of the whole. At that time, in order to quickly calm the civil unrest, the new government had to re-appoint some people. These decisions were not wrong at the time. Those people had the same ideals as us, and were also to make Germany rise again."

This passage is a bit contradictory, at least Rick was a little confused. If Joseph were here, Joseph would definitely be able to hear what the words meant.

"So why do they betray the country?" Rick finally couldn't help asking

Xu Yang frowned and said without hiding it: "Because they cannot tolerate the concentration of the power of the state in the hands of one person, this is their reason for opposing Adolf Hitler. Similarly, when they know that they have driven away a dictator and another dictator will come to power, they will continue to oppose it, and even be willing to sell the interests of the state in exchange for political capital to confront the hostile side."

Rick understood. It turned out that things were so simple, but... he seemed a little confused. Since it was also for the rise of the country, why did he choose to sell national interests in exchange for the fundamentals?

"They are doing post-war preparations."

In one sentence, Rick, who thought he had figured it out, became confused again, and he looked at Xu Yang hushly.

"Our country will surely be in a confrontation with the whole world. They believe that the final victory will not belong to the empire, so... they define their behavior as being after-care."

Rick asked blankly: "Don't we have allies? Italy, Spain, Hungary, Portugal, Finland..."

Xu Yang asked back: "Are they qualified allies?"

Rick couldn't speak now. Indeed, none of these countries was an equal ally. A new question arose again. Rick thought, then why did the empire choose to establish ally relations with these countries?

Xu Yang is now like a knowledgeable teacher, and he is so tired of explaining.

"We need the Italian navy in the Mediterranean, and Mussolini knows this."

Xu Yang's tone began to become helpless: "I know very well what will happen to form an alliance with Italy. The Italian army will only drag the empire to fade, but we have no better choice. This is also the main reason why the empire once again risked Italy's betrayal again and negotiated with Mussolini. In World War I, Italy understood that the German Second Empire could not win the final victory, and like a bitch, he immediately turned to the British and French Second Empire."

This is one of many reasons why the Second German Empire failed in World War I.

Xu Yang asked with a smile: "Have you heard a joke about Italy?"

Rick answered seriously: "Yes." Then he asked, "Which one are you talking about?"

Xu Yang was speechless...

Mussolini can be described in a Chinese idiom: the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper.

Mussolini can be regarded as one of the most ambitious ambitious people in history. He spent his whole life trying to restore the power and territory of the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, he was one of the least enterprising, lazy, and without a sense of national honor on the ball: the Italians.

The generals of the National Wehrmacht often say in private that if an Italian army of a division joins the battle, it means that the enemy's strength suddenly increases by 2 divisions, because we have to use the power of 2 divisions to take care of the Italian army of this division...

It can be seen that Germany was really very helpless about forming an alliance with Italy. Germany has been blocked for too long, and it is really not easy to find a decent ally. In the end, in order to obtain the military right of passage in the China Sea and a complete navigation chart, he accepted Mussolini's kindness and began the negotiation of alliances.

The Italians once said a sentence during the negotiation process, a sentence that made the Germans in charge of the negotiation almost knock the Italian to death with their chair legs. The original saying is: Without Italians, your career will be difficult. With Italy, your career will be smooth sailing because you have obtained the most warlike allies in the world.

The reaction of the German representative in charge of the negotiations was classic. He was stunned at first and made an angry gesture. When he heard the words behind him, his neck tilted and he was very straightforward to laugh on the seat.

Because of this sudden episode, the negotiations will be adjourned for one day. (Speechless!)

Rick didn't feel like laughing, and the shadow in his heart had not yet dissipated.

As Xu Yang's military adjutant, Rick knows inside stories that many people don't know. In order to achieve early military victory, Germany launched a military invasion on the Western Front without making complete preparations. If it weren't for the Allies' miscalculation, Germany would not be able to achieve current military achievements. Every step forward, Germany would take huge risks.

Although every military operation will inevitably have risks, Germany's national conditions are very complicated. If you take a wrong step, the situation will turn into a disaster.

Germany's foundation is too weak and cannot afford the risks at all. This is also the main reason why Longdestedt requested a rest. Too many armored troops were lost in northern France, and military operations in southern France will inevitably be affected in the future. It must be noted that Longdestedt made such a view without any selfishness.

Dongdongdongdongdong-

A knock on the door sounded, and the door was opened, and Joseph and Manstein came in.

Manstein looked dusty and had many scratches on his military uniform. Obviously, a military expert must have gone to the front line to reconnaise himself.

Then, Goebbels also walked in. His windbreaker was a little wet, and a vine hung on his yellow military cap on his head. It seemed that he had made a crawling move?

The two looked at each other and took two steps forward in a tacit understanding, and at the same time paid tribute: "Hi! Stark!"

Manstein performed the Wehrmacht military salute, and he always remembered that he was a member of the Wehrmacht.

Of course, Goebbels must have given him a hand raising ceremony.

Xu Yang returned the gift, because of the arrival of the two, he seemed to be in a good mood. "You are here just in time, I need to ask for your opinion."

Immediately, Rick repeated the recent developments of the war to the two, and some of the key points were recorded on the file page and handed them to Manstein to read.

As for Goebbels? He sat quietly in a chair and became an audience with great cooperation. Like many National Socialist Party members, Goebbels did not understand military affairs at all.

When Manstein saw it, he suddenly looked up and asked, "Sir, why didn't you issue a notice of persuading surrender?"
