Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 312: Military parade (2)

The pilot car turned left in front of the Brandenburg Gate and drove onto the street under the Linden Tree, passing through the core area of ​​Tyre Park from east to west.

The roads of Tyre Park were already full of citizens who came to watch the military parade, some bold bear children, and even climbed onto the big trees and street lamp poles beside the road.

The street under the Bodhi tree is the only way to see the troops. The troops will march east from here, all the way through the Brandenburg Gate.

In history, the Brandenburg Gate was once an ordinary gate on the west side of the Berlin Wall. It was named after the road leading to Brandenburg. In 1788, to commemorate Prussia’s acquisition in the Seven Years’ War In the victory, then King Frederick William II of Prussia ordered the construction of the current triumphal arch. From then on, triumphant troops crossed the Brandenburg Gate and became a military tradition in Old Prussia.

At 9:25 in the morning, the second pilot car drove out of the underground garage exit of the Führer’s House and turned left onto Albert Avenue.

The difference from the first car is that this is a blue-gray painted Mercedes-Benz G4. The gold and red flags of the Supreme Command are hung on both sides of the front. A black canvas carport is supported on the top. You can only see the driving. SS driver.

In the noisy cheers of the citizens, the car turned left into the Brandenburg Gate, and then did not stop on the Parisian Square, but went east along the Boulevard under the Linden tree, directly towards the Museum Island Drove on.

The roads around the Imperial Palace have been blocked. The square on the side of William Street is full of military vehicles on standby. The guards at the intersection of Voss Street and Albert Street have changed to wearing black military parade. The soldiers of the Führer Guards Flag Corps in the overcoat, the blue-gray painted barrel cart mounted the mg40 machine gun, and the new brass bullet chain shone golden light in the morning sun.

At nine thirty, the first pilot car drove past the Charlottenburg Gate, then turned right on the castle avenue ahead, and drove into the gate of Charlottenburg Palace.

According to the plan of the High Command, all the reference troops have assembled in the open space of Charlottenburg Palace at this moment, waiting for the liaison car of the Führer's Palace to bring the order to start the review.

The choice of Charlottenburg Palace as the assembly location was first proposed by Brausic. In the past, during the German military parade, the troops under review were all on standby on the streets under the Linden Tree, but this time there were too many personnel and equipment. A more spacious place is needed to gather at least the logistics unit for vehicles and personnel.

The total number of direct reference troops in this military parade is close to 15,000. Although the scale is not unprecedented, it is also a rare scene in more than ten years.

Usually, the German military parade on Memorial Day only pulled out one or two regiments of infantry, plus some mixed columns composed of cavalry and artillery.

Because of the fear of stimulating the nerves of European countries, the difficulty of maneuvering and transportation, and the fear of damage to city streets, the German army rarely deploys armored forces during the military parade. In the past, only when Hitler received foreign leaders, for the purpose of showing off the might of the German army, would he mobilize armored troops to be read on the streets of Berlin.

However, this time the commander-in-chief has made a lot of money. In addition to the tank regiment directly under the head of state, a large number of armored units have been transferred from the first-line troops, all of which are the main equipment used by the German army.

Due to confidentiality considerations, Xu Jun is not going to disclose the new weapons of the German army at this time, let alone the babies under the pressure box that are still in the experimental state, otherwise once the Soviets see it, there will be one more. The troublesome hands and feet need to be dealt with.

The arrival of the pilot car flying the flag of the Führer means that the military parade is about to begin. The soldiers began their last inspection, waiting for the order to go, to begin this glorious trip that will be unforgettable for their lives.

At 9:45, the copper-clad gate on the side of William Street opened. The first to be driven out were eight two-wheeled motorcycles, which were the lane cars of the Führer's motorcade.

The motorcycle hand is wearing a gray motorcycle rubber-covered windbreaker, gray sheepskin gloves on his hands, an m35 steel helmet and rubber goggles on his head, and shiny black riding boots on his feet, and chrome-plated The engine exhaust pipes reflect each other.

Following the road bike are four three-wheeled motorcycles. The rider is wearing a black SS parade coat with a white ammunition bag and armed belt on his waist. The back seat and the body of the car are each sitting in the same costume. Senior noncommissioned officer of the SS. The tricycle is not equipped with weapons, but each non-commissioned officer carries an mp40 submachine gun on his shoulder.

The tricycle slowed down slightly after driving out of the gate, waiting for subsequent vehicles to catch up.

The first car at the beginning is the Benz 770k of the Führer. For today’s event, this car was painted with a new layer of wax. All chrome-plated parts have been repeatedly wiped, and the car body can even reflect the street. Scenes on both sides.

Because of the cold weather, the head of state changed to a 770k with a hardtop, but the officers and soldiers on standby in the square could still see the figure sitting on the back seat through the huge side window, the third they admired The head of the empire himself.

When the Führer’s car passed the gate, four three-wheeled motorcycles immediately followed, guarding the Mercedes-Benz from the four corners. In addition to the guards, they were the most important line of defense to prevent certain Some unexpected situations occurred.

Public assassinations in European history often took place on the journey of important people. Especially after the assassination of Duke Ferdinand, European assassins liked to suddenly rush to the car and shoot inside. In this way of assassination, there are already two ministers and a king.

The side of the Mercedes-Benz 770k is equipped with 50mm-thick bulletproof glass. Xu Jun's armored defense is strengthened. The steel plate of the door can withstand 9mm steel-cored bullets fired from 15 meters away.

Of course, this car can’t hold an iron fist, but ordinary assassins can’t get this kind of weapon. If one day he is actually attacked by an iron fist, it will almost mean that a coup has erupted. It proved that he, like Hitler, was beginning to lose the trust and control of the Wehrmacht.

Of course, Xu Jun will not allow such things to happen. He has successfully changed the past and has great confidence in changing the future.

Following the Führer’s car and driving out of the Führer’s Mansion are three Mercedes-Benz 770k with exactly the same appearance. Different flags are hung on both sides of the front. The first one is the French tricolor flag, and the second is the British rice. The word flag, the third is the Italian king flag. Following the three Mercedes-Benz vehicles were two Mercedes-Benz guard cars, all with their carports open, and the carriages were full of flag guard officers wearing big brimmed hats.

Marshal Petain was not able to participate in this event in person because of a sudden physical discomfort. Of course, this was an announcement. In fact, the Marshal President still wanted to save a bit of face. After all, this military parade was not a very glorious thing for France~ IndoMTL.com~ Although the Germans claimed that this military parade was to celebrate peace, they could not avoid it. It was also celebrating the victory of the European war. Although France and Germany were working hard to seek reconciliation, a large number of French soldiers were killed in the war.

Even because of Xu Jun's arrival, the casualties caused by the second assault on the French army were even more serious than in history. A large number of French troops that should have surrendered in history were tragically annihilated by the Germans this time because they did not react as well.

Fortunately, the loss of the French officers was not great. The command system in the German POW camps was very complete. In theory, as long as the soldiers are added, these troops can be rebuilt at any time. Different people have different opinions. After all, some troops of the French army fought quite well at the beginning of the war. For them, defeat and surrender was a crime of non-war. It was purely a hindrance to idiot bosses.

As the president of France and the veteran of the armed forces, Petain is indeed not suitable to participate in this grand meeting. If it is the next military parade, he may not have so much taboo.

Betain didn't dare to publicly refute the face of the German head of state. It was too stupid and short-sighted to do so, so he wrote a personal letter to explain to Xu Jun, hoping that the other party would understand his difficulties.

In order to show that France attaches great importance to this military parade, Petain once again sent Prime Minister Laval. This prime minister is an openly pro-German. He has no such concerns at all, and his face is as thick as Paris. At the corner of the city wall, the siege cannon can only wipe off some plaster.
