211 Celebrations and Funerals

The military band beat drums to clear the way, various trombones and cornets played familiar repertoires, followed by an honor guard with a red "color" 4D flag. Sabre. (starter)

The cavalrymen rode high white horses and greeted the surrounding citizens as they moved forward. These cavalrymen are all carrying g43 rifles, which have been known all over the world and directly prompted the mass production of the m1 rifle in the United States.

Behind the cavalry are dozens of off-road vehicles. In these beautiful convertibles, German army soldiers in neat military uniforms are sitting. In the just-concluded war in Poland, they are advancing at a speed of dozens of kilometers every day. attracted worldwide attention. Many newspapers began touting them as the "mechanical cavalry" of the new era.

The cars were followed by truck after truck, which were full of supplies, filled with German infantry, and behind them pulled field artillery of all kinds, 75mm, 105mm , and 150mm caliber. These artillery pieces are mainly designed to be lightweight and can be moved forward at the fastest speed with the mechanized troops.

Then driving past the crowd was the No. 3 assault gun, the No. 3 tank, the Panther tank, which showed unprecedented effectiveness in the war and was hailed by the Fuhrer as the king of land warfare. These tanks destroyed the Polish army in the Battle of Poland, shielded the German army to advance at marching speed, and beat the first military power in Eastern Europe to the ground.

As the German armored forces advanced, the band switched to a less familiar melody. The armored soldiers outside sang loudly along with it. For the first time in the world, the world heard a melody that belonged to the German armored soldiers, a victory melody that only belonged to them.

"Whether facing storms or snowflakes,

Or the sun smiles on us;

hot day,

cold night,

puff of dust,

But we're having fun,

We are having fun.

Our tanks roared forward,

Accompanied by a burst of dust. "

The Poles who welcomed the military parade into the city looked at these young men in black tank uniforms, and saw the incomparable confidence on the faces of these people, which came from those proud records: annihilated or captured in one breath under the aura of 1.35 million Polish soldiers, some of them refugees,

They only cost Germany 8,923 dead.

"When the enemy's tanks 'reveal',

Let's step up the throttle and go full speed ahead!

the value of our lives,

To fight for our glorious army!

To die for Germany is the highest honor!

With a thunderous engine,

We charged at the enemy like lightning from behind solid armor plates. "

More German soldiers had left Warsaw at this time, the place where they had fought. They were carrying their rifles and carrying their own bags. The dust made their combat uniforms no longer as glamorous and handsome, but there was a little more. Calm and sophisticated.

The soldiers rolled up their sleeves, their beards had not been groomed for more than a week, and the unique German "cantaloupe grenades" hung from their tactical vests. Accompanying them were unsightly miscellaneous "hairy" war horses with tents, raincoats and ammunition piled on their backs.

The car dragged the cannon and drove past them quickly. The soldiers raised their heads and looked at their comrades sitting in the car, waving to say hello. They are the most common German infantry. They don't have their phalanx when they review the troops, and they don't have as many medals as the Air Force and armored troops, but they still appear in the positions where the Führer needs them most, guarding with casualties. keep their oath.

They walked silently on both sides of the road, walking steadily towards their battlefield at a slow speed, smiling at the cavalry, motor vehicles, and armored soldiers with their dry lips, and listening to the tank soldiers who slowly passed by singing them loudly song:

"Go forward with comrades,

fight side by side,

That's why we can get deep into the enemy's (tank) queue!

Facing the enemy's so-called barrier,

We give contemptuous ridicule,

Then simply bypass;

If in the yellow sand in front,

Hidden is the threat of that artillery fire,

We find our own way,

Leap on the road to victory! "

Standing in the stands, Guderian said to Army Group F, the future commander-in-chief of the German troops on the eastern front, Kluge: "Those troops who should most receive honor here are now advancing on the eastern defense line, killing a group of unidentified troops. The new recruits who have been on the battlefield don't know who's idea is to get them on the right track."

"The Propaganda Department will not miss any opportunity to expand the influence of our army, so such a grand celebration is also expected. The victory of our army in Poland is obvious to all. As the protagonist of the victory, you should not complain any more. Yes." Admiral Kluge said with a smile: "I heard that the Führer is planning to be promoted to Admiral Brauchitch to become the Imperial Marshal... Really?"

"This news should be true. I heard that it came directly from the headquarters. I heard that Commander Brauchitch was so excited that he wept bitterly. Marshal, thinking about it makes his blood boil." Guderian said with a smile.

Kluge followed with a hey smile: "With the high respect of the head of state for the general, the day of being awarded the marshal must be not far away."

While they were chatting, the parade was entering its final stage, and the music was drawing to a close as the tank troops passed by. However, the last song of the Panzer Army's march still "reverberates" over the entire square:

"If we are forsaken by the goddess of fate,

If we can't go back to our hometown from now on,

If bullets end our lives,

If we are doomed,

That at least our faithful tank,

Will give us a coffin of steel! "

...

Just as the German troops were conducting a grand military parade in Poland with a grand triumphal ceremony.

Far away in Berlin, the head of state, Arkado Rudolph, was wearing a black SS uniform, standing at the front of the crowd and bowing his head to complete his silence ceremony.

Since the death of Carl Benz, Arcardo has ordered the establishment of a private health care system for many senior talents who have contributed. However, due to the technical limitations of medicine in this era, some important high-tech talents have still not been recovered.

For example, Hugo Junkers, who just died. It is one of the designers of the long-range multi-purpose aircraft that Arcardo has always relied on.

Under the leadership of Hugo Junkers, Junkers produced many distinctive and practical military aircraft for the Luftwaffe.

For example, the ju-87 Stuka dive bomber, which is regarded as a devil by Polish soldiers; the three-engine transport aircraft ju-52, which is the favorite of the German Air Transport Ministry and paratroopers; ".

Arkado was not optimistic about the ugly ju-52 transport aircraft, but this aircraft proved its worth with its stable flight performance, sturdy and durable structure, and low fuel consumption that made the Germans excited. In the end, the head of state ordered the production of 4,500 such aircraft. airplane. Because Catherine confidently expressed to the head of state Arkado: The Air Force can guarantee the safety of the airspace, and the shortcoming of the slow speed of the transport aircraft is not a problem at all.

As the German panzers hummed, there would be at least a steel coffin, then the air force pilot's coffin was made of rate - the aircraft designer's coffin must be... wood.

Some things seem to be doomed long ago, and this unchangeable thing fills Arcador with frustration, such as Mr. Carl Benz, who he tried to save, such as the one who opposes him but looks like a polite gentleman. Stressman, another example is Hugo Junkers, who is now lying in a coffin.

There was a time when he even felt that he could not change any history at all, that the distorted things would eventually be corrected, and he would become the second Hitler and die in panic. But then he thought about it, he just wanted to do the things in front of him well, and those assumptions that could not be proved until the end should be taken care of when they come.

At that moment, Arkado Rudolph or Gu Changge from his previous life unexpectedly became a bachelor. He knew that he had no way out, so he simply followed the current script: either he became the founding emperor admired by thousands of people, or he became a war madman who was spurned by thousands of people. Anyway, it is certain to have a name through the ages, and notoriety and virtuous names are actually similar, so there is nothing to worry about.

After listening to the eulogy, Akado hurried away by car, because there were more things waiting for him to arrange, but on the way back to the residence of the head of state, Akado still gave the work secretary Xin who was sitting in the front row. Della arranged for two things.

"Find the best doctor and give them another salary with the Führer's stipend to check on Mr. Augustus every other week! I don't want this kind of accident to happen again, understand?" Arcador Sitting in the back row, he said regretfully: "Each loss of such a talent will cause immeasurable losses to the future of the empire."

"Yes! My head of state!" Syndra replied immediately.

Akado thought for a while, and then continued: "There is one more thing, in the afternoon, help me call Student and ask about the expansion of the paratroopers, we don't have much time, Everything needs to be done quickly.”

"I remember!" Syndra continued to answer.

The car stopped at the residence of the head of state, and Akado and others got out of the car. He glanced at the car parked with the Army license plate on the side, a smile on the corner of his mouth. The army commander-in-chief, Brauchitch, whom he single-handedly raised, will be promoted to the imperial marshal by him today.

There's no reason not to make Accardo happy, his forces swept Poland in 20 days, crushed French provocation, and the whole of Germany is now united in final preparations for the coming war for German hegemony. It can be said that he is now the same as Hitler in 1940, no matter how you look at it, he has already won.
