Battle of the Third Reich

From the beginning to the end, when the first line of soldiers kicked the German forward and passed under the tall Brandenburg Gate, for the German people, this represented a war, and even the official conclusion of an era.

In 1939, Hitler held an equally spectacular military parade in Berlin. In essence, it was an armed demonstration, not only against the western countries, but also facing its own people.

The Nazis flaunted the "rule of state governance" for more than a decade, steel tracks running over asphalt roads, heavy artillery towed by Krupp tractors, and steel spikes on the bottom of marching boots clicked like steel The phalanx of infantry marching forward, and hundreds of thousands of German people cheering enthusiastically with their right arms raised.

At that time Hitler’s military parade was facing the Charlottenburg Palace, which was also the starting point of the victory parade.

When Brauchic made suggestions, Xu Jun had already seen the marshal's careful thoughts. He also wanted to use the military parade to show his authority to the world, and at the same time put a beautiful stop to Hitler's era.

The New Year’s Parade was almost a reprint of the March 9th Parade, except that the destination and the starting point were reversed. The route was slightly changed. The head of state deleted the route from Berlin Avenue to Charlottenburg Avenue. He ordered the troops to Gongqian Street turns directly to Charlottenburg Avenue. Although it looks a bit far from the distance, it can come out at a beautiful right angle (Xu Jun: I have obsessive-compulsive disorder? There is absolutely no such thing, this is the most shameless slander.).

The scene of this military parade is more magnificent than that of the 1991 military parade. From the perspective of the identity and status of the invited guests and the number of participating countries, in the geopolitical atmosphere of the 1940s, it was enough to produce a huge global scale. influences.

Of course, this requires the joint efforts of the media of various countries, and it also takes time to ferment and brew.

The most similar thing between this military parade and the one in 1991 is that the reference troops had undergone long queue training before. In the history of the 40-year victory military parade, because the preparations were too hasty, the troops froze out of the street. The shape of a snake is just that the winner is not blamed. At that time, the whole country was celebrating the victory of the Western Front, so no one would care about this small problem. Anyway, the German army won.

Charlottenburg Avenue reached the Brandenburg Gate. After passing this gate, the street was renamed under the Bodhi Tree. This is a six-lane main road with a lane-wide isolation zone in the middle. At least half of the entire street traverses through Tier Park, and the roadsides are all towering trees and shrubs more than ten meters high.

When marching on Charlottenburg Avenue, the infantry phalanx used only three lanes on the right. The left lane was reserved for news media and documentary film crews. A group of vehicles with various recording equipment, like those in the stream Youyu usually shuttle back and forth on the street. Journalists and photographers greedily capture all the images they think it is necessary to keep, and save this memorable day on a reel of film and wire video tape.

Deutsche TV station broadcast the parade all the way. They set up more than ten fixed shooting points along the road. Goebbels tuned out all the TV cameras. This expensive equipment at the time was set up nine in the main venue alone. Too many, trying to show the parade of the parade to the whole country and the world from various angles.

The infantry queue is almost endless. A phalanx is an infantry battalion. Except for the Great German Regiment that has existed as a model for many years, the rest are all field troops. Their common denominator is that they all have outstanding merits, and they have finished from beginning to end. A war.

These soldiers once bathed in the French battlefield, and many people participated in the battle between Dunkirk and Paris. They also used the waist-deep water to walk on the British coast, and fought against the British army in the low bushes. They have verified a series of miraculous and glorious victories of the new heads of state and watched the motherland rise again to the top of Europe.

These soldiers are the most ardent fans of the heads of empire. The soldiers' minds are very simple. They only hope that someone will lead them to victory and win every war they participate in. If they can bring most of them back alive, then it is enough. Can be admired as a military god.

"Warrior." Oshima also looked at the steel phalanx passing under the stands with a fanatical look. This is the point he admired most about Germany. This country has the best commander in the world and leads the most in the world. Excellent strong soldiers.

Today is Oshima’s first opportunity to get in close contact with the German head of state in nearly a dozen weeks. The German’s indifference made the pro-German self-proclaimed Japanese ambassador a little sad, but he didn’t want to blame the Germans. Is ruthless, because in the recent series of conflicts, Japan has lost money every time.

The idiots of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cabinet only know that they are constantly putting pressure on him, but the army and navy are still doing tricks on the other side. During this time, Oshima has been exhausted, and sometimes he really wants to leave The burden is no longer there, but he is worried about the mighty emperor's graciousness of his Majesty the Emperor.

After returning to China, it would be great if the drunken dream died in the countryside. If somehow, it was slain by a deer with a big brain hole, wouldn’t it waste this big head in vain.

So the ambassador decided to continue to bear the burden for the great cause of the imperial kingdom. Sometimes Oshima was touched by his own spirit. He was forced to eat the **** pork leg steak of the Nanman, drinking various colors, various intensities, Nanban wines of all tastes but the same price, holding those Nanman women with rich hair and rich flavours, everywhere in the city of Berlin, and arguing with the group of power diplomats. This is a kind of sacrifice. .

Okay, Oshima is actually very good at this time, because the German head of state decided to let Japan pass, and the result was regarded by Tokyo as the special ambassador’s mediation. For this reason, his official rank was upgraded by one level. By the way, he took a fourth-class sunburst as a reward for his bow to the imperial kingdom in a foreign country.

Oshima has a good friendship with the Germans, which has been recognized by the Japanese government and the public. If the relationship between Japan and Germany can be further developed, the ambassador will be reused. Which day will he sit on the throne of the prime minister, which is not impossible.

I have survived several crises in succession, and each time I reversed the situation at the last moment. At least that's how Tokyo viewed it. Oshima will not deliberately pierce his superiors' misunderstandings. After all, it would be more beneficial to him personally.

However, after each hangover, Oshima will feel a little worried. He can feel the change in Germany's attitude towards Japan. Although it is not very direct, it should be noticeable to the discerning people.

Every time he thinks about the bad things in this period of time, he will yell at the group of red deer in the Tokyo Army and Navy. Anyway, he has retired to the reserve, and now he is a diplomatic person with a serious history.

Especially when Oshima is drunk, he often shuts himself in the study room of the mansion, and then spends an hour or two there cursing the jerks that are causing him trouble.

At this time, he was unbiased. He never missed anything from the Army Tojo to the Navy Yoshida. However, the vulgarity of the language was a bit surprising. It is said that even in rural Japan, it is unbearable. God knows that he has received Western education since childhood. Where did Oshima learn from, many of the curse words could not be translated by the German intelligence personnel responsible for monitoring, because the corresponding German vocabulary could not be found.

"After the military parade is over, the German head of state will attend the reception, and we must seize this rare opportunity to meet." Oshima said to the new army military officer Komatsu Kohiko Osaru who was sitting next to him.

"Oh! Your Excellency, this officer will go all out."

"I don't want you to go all out, Komatsu Dasuo, as long as you usually behave as usual." Oshima Hoku patted the opponent's knee.

This Dazuo is only 45 years old. He had been a second lieutenant at the grassroots level for three years. After graduating from the Army University, he only served as a squadron lieutenant for two years. He had little experience in leading troops. During his military career, the military attaché in Germany spent most of his time in the executive branch. He had served as secretary of the army minister, also served as an instructor of the army university, and served as the chief of the conscription. Before being sent to Germany, he Already a lieutenant of the Army Weapons Headquarters, the promotion speed is fairly fast in the Army.

He was sent to Germany, in addition to this hard-line supporter of the Japanese-German alliance theory, because he had spent two years in Germany to investigate the military, he would speak fluent German, and he had certain customs on Germany. Understanding.

The army finally got a little bit conscious, knowing that sending a German to pass, instead of a red deer full of emperors in the world, finally relieved Oshima.

But I haven't waited for Oshima to express his emotions...

"Oh, Lord, look, that's the chariot troops of the One Kingdom!" The Komatsu Dasuo, who made him feel calm and reliable, was suddenly excited.

PS: Thank you for your support. I’m sorry that today’s second will be delayed until tomorrow. The author’s eyes are starting to feel unwell. I hope everyone will forgive me.
