The Third Reich in Desperation

In addition, Reinhardt has been the prime minister for many years, and has already spread his influence in the political circle.Not to mention that President Gustav once came to power in cooperation with him, even among the current German officials at all levels, more than 90.00% of them are members of the Socialist Workers Party and declare their allegiance to Rein Hart.

Once today's inference comes true, the word head of state really deserves its name.

Germany, after losing some of its past heroes, may soon have more emerging heroes!

Body 1 Chapter [-] Sooner or later

Meyer Childe, the man who was the chairman of the Childe Foundation, Germany's first Jewish consortium.Today, it is no longer as romantic as it used to be.

Anyone who saw him in the labor camp prepared by Reinhardt for the members of the Childe family could not equate the image of the legendary No.11 successor of the Childe family.

This Jewish businessman who once manipulated the Deutsche Mark exchange rate was extremely popular, but now he is nothing more than a sinner who has been cast aside and forced to reform through labor.

In Germany there is no sympathy for the lost who have been cast down from heaven.

Twenty years ago, it was these Jewish businessmen of the Childe family who caused the unlimited devaluation of the German currency, the Mark, and wiped out the savings of the German people for decades or even generations overnight.

In the beginning, in order to survive, many people took out their only jewelry or precious metals, and found merchants sent by the Childe family to buy high-priced materials.At that time, I did not see this mercenary family sympathize with the suffering people.

"Don't be lazy, keep working!" an SS soldier with a German flag armband on his arm sternly shouted at Meyer, who was trying to rest for a while.

Although as an SS soldier stationed in a labor camp, this patrol soldier did not have very good equipment, and he only had an old Mauser 88 double-row magazine rifle all over his body.

After all, the Third Reich has already started a large-scale military expansion operation. The newly formed units of the Wehrmacht as the main force need weapons, and the units that have been incorporated into the front-line combat SS also need weapons.And these second-line SS troops who stayed in the labor camps behind, because they didn't have many combat missions, they just made do with some obsolete weapons.

Many SS soldiers stationed in the labor camps used obsolete equipment that had been sealed up after the stormtroopers were wiped out.If it weren't for the fact that Germany's military expansion was too fast, far exceeding the production scale, there would be no need for the SS to take out these sealed weapons.

But even this outdated 88-type rifle is enough to make these imprisoned businessmen of the Childe family tremble with fear.Under the gunpoints of the patrolling soldiers, the pampered Meyer did not dare not stop productive labor.

Since Meyer had a good attitude and was a healthy man, he was assigned to work in the first-level factory area of ​​the labor camp.

For the workers in these labor camps, Reinhardt would not be so stupid as to entrust them with some high-precision work.

In the labor camps, all work is broadly divided into two areas.

The production of bullets and helmets is the same category, and it is arranged in the first-level factory area. The workers here are all men with good performance and relatively strong physical strength.In contrast, the food standard received by the workers here is also higher.

However, the vast majority of these bullets and helmets will not be handed over to the frontline troops.Some of the bullets and helmets will be exported to the armies of friendly countries in need, such as the Spanish National Army.

Most of the other part of the bullets will be used on the training ground as ammunition for recruits to shoot live ammunition.Therefore, it will not cause excessive adverse effects due to quality problems.

The workers in the second-level factory area are mostly women and older people. Their job is to produce some quilts and bandages, as well as some light daily necessities.These production tasks are simpler and more accessible.In contrast, the standard of food here is lower.

"Meyer, come over to my office." A middle-aged man in a neat suit with a national flag armband on his arm walked up to Meyer next to the console, and ordered: "A group of newcomers are coming, you Later, go teach them the rules here."

Meyer bowed his head respectfully and listened to the man's request, then bent down and responded respectfully: "Yes, I will do my best."

No more crap, no more complaints.The former chairman of the Childe Consortium, who had been in the labor camp for a long time, was extremely obedient to this ordinary official with a low official position in front of him.

Ten years ago, even the mayor of Berlin had to make an appointment in advance to see Meyer.But now, an ordinary small official can tell him what to do.

Meyer, who had experienced a prosperous life, and the Childe family, who had been ruthless for a while, only understood the truth of being a human being and keeping a front line so that they can meet in the future after meeting a Reinhardt who was more violent than them.

It's a pity that the bad things have been done, and the people in Germany have basically been offended by them.At this time, it is too late to regret, and there will be endless transformations waiting for them.

Putting down the production of cheap 7.92mm bullets, Meyer carefully followed the low-level officials to a simple office and met the "new members" who just came in today.

Among them, the boss of the low-level officials, the leader of the labor camp, Colonel Hans, who was stationed in the SS, personally led an old man to Meyer and explained: "This new member will be assigned to the first-level factory area in the future." Working with you, you can help answer any questions he has.”

Colonel Hans's words revealed a meaning inside and out, asking Meyer to help this new member.It seems that Hans should have taken a lot of benefits from others.

Meyer didn't know the identity of this newcomer until after Hans left - the former Austrian Chancellor and the dictator Schuschnigg who ruled the whole of Austria!

Walking on the icy path to the factory, Schuschnigg asked in a low voice to the businessman who seemed to be more familiar with the situation: "Looking at the way that Colonel Hans was just now, it seems like a job to transfer me to work with you. You have achieved a great merit. How, what is your work like?"

Looking at this new colleague, Meyer did not hide anything, and said lightly: "It is only responsible for the manufacture of 7.92mm bullets. I will start work at the post at 23:[-] in the morning, and there will be an extra hour for lunch from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-]. Rest time. Continue to work from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], have an hour for dinner and rest from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], and then work until [-]:[-], then you can go back to the public dormitory to rest.”

Schuschnigg raised his voice in surprise and shouted: "Fourteen hours of high-intensity work a day! I gave him all the 20 U.S. dollars in private deposits, and the reward was to arrange fourteen hours of high-intensity work for me every day." Hard work!" Schuschnigg's indignant grumbled.

Seeing this, Meyer turned around to make sure there was no one around, and then lowered his voice and scolded: "Dare you to complain so loudly, are you crazy?!"

After being stunned for a few seconds, Schuschnigg covered his head in pain and said: "It's all my fault for being smart. I heard that my cronies who came in together were all assigned to the second-level factory area where the work was easy. Sigh... ..”

Meyer stared at Schuschnigg with a weird expression, and it took a while before he answered, "You were directly assigned to the first-level factory area on the first day you came, and you feel that you are at a loss? The fastest people I had back then were all It took 3 months to transfer over.”

Shuschnigg said strangely: "Listen to you, do I still take advantage of it? Why, the factory next door is not good?"

Meyer sighed, and said enviously: "If I still have money, I would also like to spend 20 yuan to buy it for 3 months without having to work [-] hours a day on an empty stomach..."

"Hungry!? Fifteen hours!?" Schuschnigg was taken aback. It turns out that the second-level factory area, which looks lighter, has to work an entire hour more than the first-level factory area every day. , that would be worse than death!

At this time, Schuschnigg, who had also ordered countless people to be imprisoned, suddenly realized that he was in prison now!

In prisons, it is a tradition in prisons to first deprive people of their rights and then give them to you as a reward.

A bed near the cell door, an unpalatable but filling dinner, an hour's rest time or a low-quality cigarette, these things that belonged to you will be taken away without reason.

If they behaved well, or if they showed kindness, they might have a little more food that was barely palatable or a puff of cigarettes.These things that he completely dismissed outside the prison are a luxury, a temptation, and a tool for the jailer to gain benefits in the prison.

Back then, if only he, Schuschnigg, could have done less to obstruct the merger.Now, it will not fall to this step.

This just confirms an old oriental saying: If you come out to mess around, you will have to pay back sooner or later.

Body 1 Chapter [-] The Great Victory in Catalonia

Spain, Catalonia theater

On the southern front, General Francisco of the Republican Army led the Temporary Sixth Cavalry Division and Temporary Seventh Cavalry Division to detour south, forcing Franco's Legion to stop along the Ebro River.

Rommel seized the opportunity of the Republican Army's empty forces in the northwest direction, and led the German-Spanish Combined Corps to rush into the junction of the Spanish Army of the North and the Army of the South, and entered Catalonia.

On April 4, the German 14st Armored Regiment under Rommel led a Spanish German Armored Armored Regiment, forming the vanguard of the German [-]th Armored Division.

Followed by the two Spanish German infantry divisions of the German-Spanish Combined Corps, they formed two powerful attack arrows, posing a threat to the Republican town of Huesca.

Behind them, three Spanish infantry divisions of the German-Spanish Combined Corps with poor mobility were deployed in echelons.

The vanguard company led by German Captain von Hoffmann is being reinforced by a Spanish armored battalion of the German-Spanish Combined Corps at the moment, forming the "Hoffmann" battle group, which is ready to go at the crossroads north of Lietley Village.

Hoffman leaned out from the turret of his 007 tank, holding up his lieutenant-grade binoculars.

Through the binoculars, Hoffman saw that the No. 008 tank, which entered the village first, was shooting a suspicious field with a machine gun.Then, soon there were 20 soldiers of the Republican Army who raised their hands and walked slowly out of the field.

Just when these Republican soldiers were about to approach the No. 008 tank, they suddenly accelerated and ran towards the No. 008 tank.

Second Lieutenant Flock, who leaned out from the turret of the No. 008 tank, subconsciously raised his gun to shoot, but judging from what Hoffman saw through the telescope, his pistol seemed to be jammed.

Just when several fast-running Republican soldiers were about to rush in front of the No. 008 tank, Second Lieutenant Flock quickly grabbed the ax hanging on the track protection device, jumped out of the tank and swung the ax at the surrendering soldiers.
