Chapter 31 Sickert's Support

"The ambition of this child is really not small." At this time, in the Ministry of Defense in Berlin, a veteran general sighed when he heard Gustav's words in front of him.

As a German capitalist, Gustav would never be on the wrong side. Just after Cyric left, Gustav reported all this to Sickert, the commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht.

Johannes Friedrich Leopold von Seeckert, known simply as Hans von Seeckert, was born in Schleswig in 1866. In later generations, Seeckert was not much Fame, not even the reputation of the Tiger tanker Bowman.

However, he is the real mainstay. He is the founder of Germany's "100,000 Army". Everything he has done has laid the foundation for the re-emergence of the German Army. He is the well-deserved father of the German Army in World War II.

In 1919 he served as chief of the general staff of the post-war German army and a year later became commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht.

In an era of political turmoil and national chaos, Sickert certainly couldn't have done much, but he created an army that became the mainstay of the country and proved to be the best-trained and best-led army of his generation!

The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that the number of German troops should not exceed 100,000, so Sickert set the standard: soldiers in good health, with more than 12 years of service experience; officers must have more than 25 years of experience in the military.

A large number of people who did not meet the requirements were forced to retire. Although the size of the German army was reduced, it could be expanded at any time. Every private was trained to become a sergeant, every sergeant was trained to become an officer, and every An officer is trained to become a general.

In the exercise, the individual soldiers should call themselves a certain platoon, or represent an 8-man machine gun group. No tanks and anti-aircraft guns, just imitate them with cardboard and wood! The German army can be expanded into hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops at any time, all of which come from Sickert!

At the beginning, after Hitler came to power, he tore up the Treaty of Versailles and easily expanded into an army of millions. This is also thanks to Sickert. It was Sickert's early efforts that left Hitler with a good foundation.

Sickert is now the mainstay of the German army.

Unfortunately, he can also feel that the small movements behind it are really too small. The military technology of Britain and France is developing rapidly. In contrast, Germany is constantly lagging behind.

Especially tanks! In World War I, the tank has been proven to be a very powerful weapon, a weapon that can rewrite the war situation. Unfortunately, the Treaty of Versailles restricted Germany from manufacturing tanks!

Cyric, wants to build a base in Libya, in the endless desert where no one is paying attention, to develop the latest German chariot!

This is a whimsical idea! At the same time, this idea also has a great possibility of success!

As Germany's largest arms giant, the relationship between Krupp and Sickert is of course quite good! In this eventful time, the Krupp family must determine their political stance!

If Sickert agrees, then Krupp will go all out, if Sickert disagrees, then let Hannah go to small troubles.

"Actually, decommissioning Cyric is also a last resort for the army. I have been thinking about when to reassign Cyric to the army."

Looking out the window, Sickert said: "It's fine, the Treaty of Versailles prevents us from developing any weapons, especially tanks, we must not give up."

Sickert's feelings are complicated.

Cyric, arguably a rebel, had been involved in the beer hall riot. However, Cyric's speech when he accepted the verdict has infected many people!

In Sickert's eyes, Cyric is still a child. Although this child has gone the wrong way, he is thinking about the future of Germany!

And now, when we go to the desert to develop tanks, Krupp will come up with more advanced technologies. If we can design advanced tanks there, it will be a good thing!

This means that Germany can use full power at any time to produce advanced tanks in large quantities, instead of waiting until it is time to concentrate manpower and material resources to develop tanks!

A mature model is quite important!

Among them, it requires a lot of investment and a lot of time, and it takes at least five years for a model to mature! In the German army, tanks cannot be lacking!

"General Sickert, since you agreed, then we, Krupp, will go all out," Gustav said.

Go all out and build the newest tank!

"Now that you've decided, you might as well hire a few more." Sickert said: "Rheinmetall, Henschel, and Daimler-Benz can all send some researchers. Each company will assign a small number of researchers. At the same time, the confidentiality work must be done well, and the government will not stand up and take any responsibility if something goes wrong.”

Of course the government will not stand up! This kind of secret weapon research is not visible, otherwise, this will probably not be an excuse for Sickert to support this operation.

The leader is Cyric. If the real thing is revealed, it can all be pushed to Cyric's head. Anyway, the government is against this organization.

And if things don't come to light, in the base there, you can continue to develop your own technology and prepare for the next war in the future!

And all this, it seems hopeless, the Italian, would you agree?

No matter, in short, these have nothing to do with the government and the military!

If you fail, you will have no responsibility. Once you succeed, any technology will converge in Germany, and eventually it will become Germany's military technology! There is no doubt about this.

Just after nodding, the door outside was knocked open, and an adjutant hurried over and said, "General, Major Guderian has requested to retire and has already reported."

Suddenly, Sickert was stunned.

Now, Guderian's military rank is not high, but Guderian is the person Seekt likes. This has to start from the previous issues of Military Weekly. Guderian has published several articles, revealing the future. The mode of war, which makes Sickert quite valued.

This guy, who doesn't want to work in the army, wants to slap his ass and walk in?

and many more! Sickert suddenly realized something. Could it be Cyric who wanted to poach someone from the Defence Force? It's so nasty!

In particular, Guderian is a very important person to Seekert! In-depth research in military theory, is the pioneer of the future German armored forces! He was kidnapped by Cyric!
