Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 14: Assassination

In the 1930s and 1940s, all countries in the world, especially the countries with military powers such as Europe and the United States, paid special attention to queue exercises. Even the scattered and messed-up rice troops of later generations were very particular about the formation and order of the military. , Even the extravagant children of MacArthur and Button are good at wiping boots in the military academy.

The unconventional atmosphere in the US military was a product of the rapid expansion of the army at the beginning of the war. Hundreds of thousands of civilians who had never had a concept of discipline poured into the army, navy and air force. Many were sent to the battlefield after only a dozen weeks of basic training. , Most people's psychology hasn't adapted to become an American soldier, so it is completely understandable that some weird things have appeared on the battlefield.

On the contrary, the Germans are quite different here. Germans at this time still retain their unique national character, pay attention to collectivism and teamwork, and the strength of individuals instilled by their elders from an early age is insignificant, while the strength of collectives can fill the mountain. River. Germans regard serving the country as a natural responsibility, and at the same time like to worship the strong, and pay attention to discipline and obedience. Almost every school-age man has been trained in various military skills since middle school. When it comes to queues, few in the world can surpass the German army, and the SS, which focuses on image, is the leader.

Because the team is still stationed in Chongqing, the "Tomahawk Brigade" only came to one company this time. They will not go with the team to Japan. They come to Shanghai purely to support the special mission.

A company of Waffen-SS, dressed in black woolen uniforms, wearing white military parade gear, carrying a gleaming 98k salute gun on his shoulders, marching in a majestic German style, neatly lined up along the road on the Bund Walk towards the viewing platform.

The leader of the Ludwig first-level commando squadron has a row of shiny medals on his chest. If anyone is sharp-eyed, he can find one of the national government's sixth-class Jingxing medals. This is still in Chongqing. Jiang Zhongzheng personally awarded it to him. Wearing a black m35 helmet, the lieutenant colonel strode to the right of the flag bearer holding the flag of honor, and his left hand wearing a white sheepskin glove held the command scabbard at his waist. The whole row of bright high-barreled leather boots stepped on the pavement of the Bund at the same time, making a neat sound like thunder.

"Attention!" Ludwig gave a loud order, drew the command knife with his right hand, and stood vertically in front of him.

"Salute!" The SS lieutenant colonel dashed his knife to one side and raised his chin to salute the field marshal on the viewing platform.

The SS soldiers behind made a sharp spear smash almost at the same time. The shiny bayonet reflected a white light in the sun. The crowds on both sides of the road suddenly burst into exclamation, followed by warm applause and cheers. When it sounded, everyone was excited by the sight just now.

"Victory!" "Long live!"

"Victory!" "Long live!"

"Victory" "Long live!"

Led by Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig, the soldiers shouted three times for victory, and at the same time, Marshal Blumberg in the stands raised his right arm to salute the soldiers.

Since the opening of Shanghai, local citizens can be regarded as the first group of Chinese people who look at the world. They have seen countless celebration parades on the streets of this city. Among them, there are many majestic and majestic divisions, and many of them are even elite Westerners in China, but there has never been a unit that can give them the feeling they feel today.

Even the well-informed media people can’t help but express the same emotion. It is indeed a German-style military parade that has long been famous all over the world. Although the national army also practiced German-style exercises, it is not the same as the Waffen-SS. In comparison, it always feels a bit worse.

This is not to belittle the national army. It cannot be denied that there are indeed a lot of warriors in the national government, but for the rest of a hundred battles and whether they will go in the queue, this is totally two different things.

"The country is dead (awesome), you deserve to be an independent country and a strong soldier. I have seen it." A Japanese staff member admired involuntarily.

"I heard that the Morimoto Brigade was defeated by this force in front of me. It seems that it is indeed the first-class strong army. Morimoto almost provoked such a powerful enemy for the empire, it is really not a pity to die." Another staff officer nodded in agreement.

"For a troop like this, there are still three million in a single country."

"More than that, friends from the staff headquarters told me that the country is still expanding its military."

"Nani? Which prey did the head of state fancy again?"

"According to my inference...independent people..." a group of Japanese officials whispered.

"Your Excellency, the last time I was on the streets of Munich, I was fortunate to review the SS with your first prime minister, His Excellency Hitler and Marshal Goering. The grand scene at the time is still fresh in my memory. Since then, I have I made up my mind to develop the friendship between Japan and Independence, even if I bow my best.

For more than ten years, Japan has always been the most loyal friend of the independent country. Even when the independent country was isolated by the British in the world, the Japanese Empire has always stood firmly on the side of Germany. You should be Visible. "By praising the majesty of the SS, Matsuoka began to play an emotional card with Blumberg.

"I must admit that what you said is the truth, Mr. Foreign Secretary." Blumberg said with a smile.

"You can continue to call me Mazi Ouga, Your Excellency Marshal, or even you can call me directly and you deserve to die. We should be regarded as old friends. Shouldn't friends call me by name?" Matsuoka Yoyou also smiled Speaking of.

"Well then, you can also call me Werner, you deserve it." Blumberg was obviously in a good mood.

"I can tell you very clearly that this time the head of state sent me to Japan to make up for and deepen the friendship between the two countries, although there have been several consecutive misunderstandings that have harmed the German Empire and Japan. Empire’s friendly relations.

But dear old friends, Germany and Japan are friendly nations. This is recognized by the head of state. "The German Marshal played with the stick in his hand and whispered to the Japanese Foreign Minister.

"That's it, this is really great news. I believe that all the Japanese people will be happy about it. I will pass your words to the Prime Minister of Guard immediately. He has always been worried about this. After receiving this news, your Excellency the Prime Minister will definitely have a sweet dream tonight." Matsuoka Yoyo showed a happy expression on his right face, and bowed respectfully to the German head of state.

"Ah, it's my turn to speak on stage. Let's talk later." Brumberg smiled and patted Matsuoka's arm, then turned and walked to the middle stage of the viewing platform.

At this time, the British Consul General George and the French Consul General Aoqi had finished their welcome speeches one after another, and it was Blumberg's turn to speak on stage.

"Your Excellency, do you think Brumberg's words are credible?" Takahashi asked leaning forward.

"Takahashi-san, you have to pay attention to your own words, it is too rude, you should respect him as the Marshal Lord."

Matsuoka glanced at his subordinates, frowned and said: "I know this marshal very well. He is not a liar, so his words are credible."

"If that's the case, that would be great," said the cattle farm aside.

"We can’t relax yet. Until the Marshal concludes this visit and signs a formal agreement with us, we must never take it lightly. You must be cautious. Especially you, General Zetian, this time almost Let the empire lose its face, this is a serious dereliction of duty, and there must be no next time." Matsuoka finally took his breath and began to attack the lieutenant general. He has the confidence to ignore the rank of the opponent's leader.

"Ha! Moses Agago intended Ma San, Kaga. (Yes, I'm very sorry, sir)." The lieutenant general, at this moment, bowed like a second-class soldier and admitted his mistake. At this moment, Shigeru Sawada had to bow his head in his hand.

"Fortunately, things were finally restored. I won't report to the cabinet this time, but you must reflect deeply after you return." Matsuoka's eyes became sharp.

"Heh!" Horiuchi and Sawada bowed their heads at the same time to be taught.

Just as Matsuoka was trembling here, Blumberg also ended his brief speech. It is nothing more than talking about the yearning for this visit, the praise for the city of Shanghai, and a bunch of longings and prospects, which are basically a bunch of blank checks and official articles. Anyway, as long as the guests present and the media believe it, it does not matter what the so-called sedan chair people carry.

Next were the speeches of other diplomatic envoys and business representatives, as well as members of the Ministry of Industry and the Public Board of Directors. They were all beautiful and colorful articles, and the content was uniformly empty. Even Matsuoka stepped forward and said a few words. If it weren’t for the group of people he had brought to make a fuss, it would have almost met a cold spot~ IndoMTL.com~ Shanghai residents in the concession didn’t pay much for the Japanese, because There were too many patrols at the scene, and at last there was no whistle and cheer, which saved the Japanese Foreign Minister's face.

It was almost noon at this time. Accompanied by a cheerful welcome song, the host and guest walked out of the stands, and in the crowd of enthusiastic Shanghai citizens, they faced the Chinachem Hotel (today's Peace Hotel) across the road. Go to the main entrance.

Brumberg and his party have booked two floors of this famous hotel as their place of residence when they visit the Shanghai Concession.

Just as a group of people approached the entrance of the hotel, there was a commotion in the crowd on the side of the sidewalk, and then a man in a blue gown and a black top hat kicked over Vietnam who wanted to stop him. While patrolling, he drew a black and shiny pistol from his pants pocket.

"Expelling the Japanese invaders, and returning me back!" The big man shouted in a Mandarin with a strong Jiangsu accent, and then shot Matsuoka Yangyou who was walking in front of the team, but he was next to the Foreign Secretary. Marshal of Germany.

"Protection Marshal!"

"Protect Your Foreign Minister"

"Catch that assassin!"

"Gezescha Lao Fei is dying (this ghost is dying), let’s shoot!"

"Don't shoot! Go live!"

The Chinese and foreign military and political officials present yelled indiscriminately, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
