Chapter 248 Operation Otto Begins
"Shuschnigg, what are you going to do?" Just outside the broadcast room of the Chancellor's Office, Shuschnigg met Seth again by accident.
Seth has been waiting!
Seeing Seth, Shuschnigg's face was ugly, and his voice was a little low: "I want to announce to the country that we will not resist, and I will also resign as prime minister."
Hearing this, Seth was overjoyed, and he followed Shuschnigg into the broadcast room.
Shuschnigg calmed down and sat in front of the microphone.
"Hello everyone, I'm Chancellor Shuschnigg. Now, I broadcast a shameful news to everyone." Shuschnigg said: "The barbaric Germany wants to conquer us by force."
Seth's hand was almost pressed on the pistol. If Shuschnigg dared to talk nonsense, he would kill Shuschnigg here!
"President Miclas asked me to tell the entire Austrian people that we have succumbed to force. Because under any circumstances, even at this last moment, we should have no intention of bleeding the Germans."
Hearing this, Seth was considered to put down his hands, and he was still acquainted!
"We have instructed our army to stand by without a fight if there is an invasion. Now I announce that I am resigning as Chancellor of Austria. Before I say goodbye, I want to make a wish to God - I hope God Can save Austria!"
Putting down the microphone, Shuschnigg let out a long sigh, no matter what, he will be nailed to the shame of Austria, but at least now, Shuschnigg will not embarrass him!
Of course! After hearing Shuschnigg's broadcast, Seth was so excited that he immediately ran to the phone and dialed directly to the Eagle's Nest.
"Hey, I'm Cyric." At this moment, Cyric happened to be near the phone, he picked up the phone and heard the voice inside.
"General Cyric, I have good news for you, the Austrian government has been dissolved, and the Austrian Wehrmacht has been asked to prohibit resistance to the German army," Seth said.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cyric's face, and he continued: "However, you still haven't been appointed prime minister, have you?"
The expression on Seston's face was a stiff, and he said falteringly: "The president has not made up his mind, and we are doing the work of the president at the moment."
Cyric shook his head: "Seth, you are so disappointing to us, the Führer is impatient. You tell the president immediately that you are in charge now, and if he does not appoint you, the German army will immediately move into Austria. , and also, I hope you will pass the word to the heads of the Austrian departments, whoever dares to organize a resistance against the German army will be tried by our court."
After speaking, Cyric hung up the phone.
Hitler, who was on the side, patted his thigh sharply: "I can't wait for these political idiots who don't cry without seeing the coffin. Now, let's act!"
General Brauchich, who was beside him, turned pale.
"Führer, I request to direct this operation myself," Cyric said to Hitler.
How can I lose my presence at this great moment! Cyric's self-recommendation this time was due to a great personal factor. He wanted to write more of his own name in this history, and at the same time, he also wanted to visit Vienna.
More importantly, Cyric hadn't had much contact with General Bock before, and this time, it was just an opportunity.
"Okay, Cyric, I now appoint you as the commander-in-chief of Operation Otto. The 3rd Army and the 1st Armored Division are all under your command!" Hitler was very satisfied with Cyric's proposal. Grams will rush to the front! Do your part!
On the border of Germany and Austria, the army has long been waiting here.
Tanks are filled with fuel and ready to go. They have been in a state of being dispatched at any time since the daytime. Now, although they have passed more than ten hours, they are still in high spirits.
Especially the 1st Armored Division, they haven't had enough fun in the last battle. This time, it's another good opportunity!
In the small town of Passau, in the temporary headquarters, a thin officer was constantly watching in front of the map.
Attack Austria, but try to remain friendly as much as possible. What if you encounter their block? What if there is bloodshed?
He knew that in this attack, they had too many surprises. After all, the Austrian opposite is also Germanic!
"General Boke, it's nice to see you." At this moment, a young man opened the door and walked in. Although he was young, he had a mature and steady expression on his face. There is only one person with the rank of lieutenant general, and with that unique and handsome SS uniform, there is no other possibility.
"General Cyric?" Bock was very surprised.
"By the order of the Fuhrer, I will be in charge of the entire Otto operation." Cyric said: "Now, immediately order the march."
Bock gave Cyric a military salute, his eyes full of respect.
The arrival of Cyric solved the big trouble Bock encountered.
What if there is a conflict? At that time, Bock, as the commander-in-chief of the army, will definitely be responsible, but now, the arrival of Cyric, although he has taken over the power, is equivalent to taking on the obligation.
Cyric also gave a military salute, and he solemnly said to Bock: "This step, we will finally take it, at the same time, this is also our first step, we still have a lot of ways to go in the future, General Boke , I hope we can go on together."
Cyric's hand was held together with the other's.
In World War II, Germany was defeated. However, the high quality of German officers still won the respect of the whole world. It can be said that Germany is fighting against the whole of Europe with the strength of one country, and it almost won.
In front of him, General Bock is an outstanding representative of the German military.
Fedor von Bock was born on December 3, 1880 in a military family in Kusterling, Brandenburg. His great-grandfather and grandfather were both soldiers, his father was promoted to at least general, and his mother also came from a famous swordsman noble family.
Under this kind of family, he aspired to become a real soldier since he was a child, and went to Grosslichtfield Military Academy and Potsdam Military Academy to study.
Bock has a special character, he is serious, arrogant, stubborn, and old-fashioned, but at the same time he has a firm will, a tenacious enterprising spirit and a strong energy.
Bock participated in World War I, served as a staff officer, and received the highest German war medal.
After the First World War, he remained in the army of 100,000 people, and until now, is the commander-in-chief of the Third Army in Dresden. Now, the main force of the attack is the Third Army.
"The 1st SS Panzer Division goes first, General Bock, do you have an opinion?" Cyric asked.
Bock shook his head. When the First Armored Division was deployed, Bock also planned to let the First Armored Division dispatch first. This armored division's impact ability was too strong, and he would definitely be able to rush to Vienna as soon as possible.
"What if we encounter resistance along the way?" Bock asked the most concerning question.
"No, the Austrian people will welcome us." Cyric said, and after speaking, he looked at Bock, who was worried: "If there is someone who doesn't have long eyes, take off his pants, the two of us, each How do you feel when someone beats half of his ass?"
