Chapter 703: The Dwarf Is in Action
During the New Year, colorful lights and neon lights, sumptuous meals, cheerful music and colorful ribbons and bells everywhere in the castle make the festive atmosphere more intense.
All the servants left, only two personal servants, the butler Hogg, Dan and Lison, remained in the castle, and several Italian maids in the kitchen volunteered to stay and help.
Their families were in Italy, and just three days was not enough to travel. The housekeeper Hogg promised to give them 15 days of vacation to go home and reunite with their families after the others came back.
The smoke and pessimism outside of North America have nothing to do with the world inside the castle at this moment. There are only songs, laughter and warm company here.
"Eric, how are you doing at school?" Mary took a piece of egg tart and put it near Aiden's mouth, looking at Eric who had grown into a big guy opposite and asked.
"It's not bad. There are also black people in the school, so that I won't appear to be different." Eric said with a smile.
In fact, his current environment is much better than when he lived at home.
With his own partner, he will no longer be regarded as a different kind. No one knows his origin, and no one will regard him as a child of a rich family. Without jealousy, there will be less targeting and troubles.
"Fia is going to live in school in two months, you have to remember to take care of her." Li Zitao put down the spoon and wiped his mouth, then stretched out his fist to Eric with a smile.
boom.
The two fists touched, the familiar feeling came back, and the previous vitality gradually disappeared.
Aiden stared at this scene with wide eyes, raised his small fist to see, slid off the seat with his buttocks, ran to his side and shouted: "I want it too, I want it too."
Following his example, Mason also ran over and punched Li Zitao on the waist with his fist raised, where his hand was placed.
"Mine, it's mine." Seeing his younger brother's actions, Aiden raised his fist and hit the back of his hand, pushing Mason aside as he spoke.
"Haha..." Seeing the two little guys wrestling together and rolling around on the ground after a while, Li Zitao let out a hearty laugh.
"You two..." Mary lowered her face pretending to be angry, and the two little guys stood up immediately, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
"Sit down, we're eating, it's too rude." After the two little ones sat down again and wiped their hands with a wet towel, the New Year's dinner continued.
"Why didn't grandpa come?" Aiden drank the soup with a small spoon, a little curious why grandpa didn't come, he would be there every few days.
"Grandfather has something to do, he will come to see you in a few days." Mary rubbed her son's head and said.
Not only West, but also the Grand Duke did not come. She originally invited her mother, but because of the situation in Europe, there are endless meetings and people to meet every day.
The war in East Africa was very lively. Two elite Italian tank regiments entered Makare, and then cooperated with General Bono to continue the campaign against Egypt.
The deployment of Germany has also accelerated Gabe. Since the shorty came to power in 1933, the army plans to build another 36 divisions, and the ongoing universal compulsory military service is the basis.
All the people are soldiers, instigated by the powerful language of the little dwarf, Germany is recovering at a speed unimaginable to the outside world.
If someone can get the archives of the German army, it will be clear that the army has more than 3 million people and 8 million reserve soldiers.
Vehicles, tanks, planes, and ships are all being built. The whole country is preparing for war, and everyone is looking forward to the war.
This is no longer a matter of one person, but the aspiration of the people of Germany as a whole.
The failure of the First World War and the high compensation, and the suppression and partition of Germany after the war were all catalysts for this suspicion of war.
As an exchange center and technology development center in Eastern Europe, Germany's industrial base is not inferior to that of any other country.
When everyone's hearts are heading in the same direction, how terrifying is the power that erupts.
But all of this is going on in secret. The vicious Gestapo is rampant in the streets and alleys of Berlin.
Anyone suspected was arrested and tortured.
In the secret prison, people suspected of being spies were hung upside down on the beams one by one, swallowing their last breath in painful torture.
No one can spread the news. After the little man made up his mind to turn the economy on the track of war, martial law and censorship began quietly.
At the same time, the little man is also paying attention to the East African battlefield. After Italy launched the war against Egypt, his ambition is also burning.
The bluff and incompetent sanctions of Britain and France made the little man even more unscrupulous.
The German army is preparing quietly. The little man wants to test the bottom line of other countries little by little, and is also paralyzing all enemies.
The little man is also looking for allies internationally. He is not a reckless person, and Germany is not ready yet.
Italy was dragged down by the natives of Ethiopia, and the war was brought to a stalemate. The little man didn't expect it. When secretly ridiculing the incompetence of the Italians, he was also reminding himself not to underestimate any enemy.
No matter how much he looked down on those Italians, Germany now needs allies, and Spain, which is tense, is also his chosen ally.
Representatives who preached FXS all over the world were included in the little man's plan.
Only if this idea is blown to every country and every corner, no matter whether they succeed or not, it will cause trouble for the authorities.
This will appropriately reduce his pressure, and will also divert the gaze from him a little bit, giving him more time and opportunities.
The first step of the Little Man's plan has been implemented, which is to expand the army in flagrant violation of the Treaty of Versailles, increasing the Wehrmacht from 100,000 to 300,000.
Then he turned his attention to Austria. The shooting of the Prime Minister in Vienna in the winter of 2034 attracted worldwide attention. The madness of the Austrian NC Party made people more vigilant.
Originally, according to the plan, with the instigation and cooperation of the Austrian CN Party, Germany could peacefully annex Austria through the question of "voting".
But after the Prime Minister was shot dead by the NC Party, Mussolini sent four divisions to Chen Brenner Pass, blatantly declaring support for Austria's independent status.
This made the little man have to restrain his minions, announced that he had nothing to do with the rebellion, and thus canceled the plan to annex Austria.
This is the warning Mussolini gave him. Not only Germany is spying on the land of Austria, but Italy is also spying on this 'good neighbor. '
Now, with his rival Mussolini being dragged into the East African quagmire, it was a godsend for Germany.
The little man thought it was time to go a step further and test the tolerance of Britain, France and other countries.
And the target he chose was the Rhine Demilitarized Zone.
