General von Kuchler's eyes were full of shock. Lin Wei's words did have a great impact on General von Kuchler. If you think about it carefully, you will know that what Lin Wei said is not unreasonable. The tragedy made almost all the participating countries feel the bitter consequences of the war. But unlike Germany, France, as the victor, does not have such a strong sentiment of revenge as support. France, which has witnessed the cruelty of the war, strives to avoid the next war. The cruelty of the war also caused various ideas to spread in various countries. While Germany had unified its thinking and was preparing to fight another war, France was still troubled by various ideological trends. Many soldiers in the army still did not know why. During the war, even many French politicians and senior military officials were still troubled by which force was more terrifying, Germany or the Soviet Union.
The biggest difference between Germany and France is that Germany, which experienced a defeat in the war, was completely dismembered after the war. It is surrounded by French allies and is in danger of being invaded again at any time. This huge danger made Germany feel that in order to break the French blockade, it must regain strong military power and use force to eliminate the dangers around Germany. It can be said that the reason why Germany restored its military strength so quickly was due to France's role. If France hadn't made Germany feel that it was in danger at all times, Germany would not have regained its strength so quickly. of military strength.
General von Küchler had already agreed with Lin Wei's analysis in his heart, but that did not mean that he agreed with Lin Wei's plan to expand the SS model to France. This is not because the Wehrmacht was afraid of the SS like it did with the stormtroopers. threaten one's own position. After all, Lin Wei's father Gustav had a very good relationship with the Wehrmacht officer corps. The SS, under the command of Lin Wei, was more acceptable than the aggressive attitude of the stormtroopers. Now the generals of the Wehrmacht are not so repulsive to the SS. But whether they reject it or not does not mean that Lin Wei's plan to form the SS in France can also get the consent of the officer corps. General von Küchler and other generals of the Wehrmacht have the same view on how to weaken France, its old enemy. France's strength is not excessive. France, which has regained its military strength, will definitely be Germany's biggest threat.
Because of this, General von Kuchler objected, "France itself is Germany's biggest threat. Once this opponent, whose army is no less than Germany's, is allowed to restore its military strength, it will definitely pose a serious challenge to Germany's status! Now that we have achieved a decisive victory, I cannot see that there are still enemies in the whole of Europe that we cannot deal with!"
Lin Wei shook his head slightly, gave up the idea of continuing to argue with Admiral von Kuchler, and said to himself: "Are Germany and France the only countries with the most powerful military forces in Europe? You will soon find out that your thoughts How ridiculous!" During the days of fighting in Germany, Lin Wei's eyes never left the huge country in eastern Germany, and the news from the Gestapo in the past few days only aggravated Lin Wei's worries. There are signs that the Soviet Union has assembled quite strong forces in the area close to Romania. The Soviet Union has begun to take advantage of the war between Germany and France to move the front to the west again. As the buffer zone between Germany and the Soviet Union gradually decreases, Germany and the Soviet Union may now sleep with pistols under their pillows to guard against sudden attacks from the other side.
Although he was very disdainful of General von Kuchler's complacency, Lin Wei also knew that it was impossible for General von Kuchler to believe in himself now. The total strength and weapons of the Soviet Red Army The equipment is not something that ordinary countries can find out at all. The ability of a country to hide its power very well is a natural advantage that dictatorships have over democracies. Germany did an outstanding job in this regard, while the Soviet Union, which had all its domestic opposition forces wiped out, was even more secretive in this regard.
The secret war between Germany and the Soviet Union was going on every moment. With Heydrich in full control, it was now on Germany's eastern front. No move escaped Lin Wei's control, but the more this happened, the more Lin Wei became frightened by the power of the Soviet Union. Attacking such a country was definitely not a wise choice. Germany had no advantage in industrial power compared to the Soviet Union. It will be completely offset by the Soviet Union's powerful territorial depth.
The more he thought about this question, the heavier it became. Lin Wei shook his head, looked at Admiral von Kuchler who was still waiting and was about to persuade him to give up his thoughts, and said with a smile, "Uncle Kuchler, what I just said It's just an immature method. As you said, Germany today is indeed not something that others can threaten. Of course, we don't need to rely on the power of our old enemy. However, the Red Empire in the east is aggressive. If we can reduce the loss of some Germans, it will be Wouldn't it be better to resolve this threat?" Looking at Admiral von Küchler who was still arguing, Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief and suggested, "Let's not talk about this kind of topic anymore, now I'm going to be in Paris I’m holding a military parade, and I wonder if Uncle Cucheler would be willing to help me with this?"
"Of course this is not a problem! I also want to see how these young men feel about coming to Paris!" Admiral von Küchler also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Of course it would be best not to continue this topic. Admiral von Küchler seemed to think that although the young man in front of him was the best among the children of these old friends, his idea was a little too crazy and he was planning to use the power of his old enemy to attack the Soviet Union together. Now seeing that Lin Wei took the initiative to terminate this issue, Admiral von Kuchler certainly agreed with both hands.
"Uncle Kuechler, of course you can see it! I am very confident about the SS uniform!" Lin Wei smiled. At this moment, Lin Wei became a polite person again. Seeing Lin Wei With an expression on his face, Admiral von Küchler finally let go of the huge stone in his heart.
After chatting with General von Kuchler about their daily life, Lin Wei and General von Kuchler said goodbye politely, and General von Kuchler even sent them out the door. Lin Wei's direct guard saw their leader being sent out by General von Küchler himself, and sighed secretly, "The leader is extraordinary. If this was the Chief of Staff of the Stormtroopers, Rohm, he would have been kicked out long ago." !" If Lin Wei knew that he was being compared to the homosexual Roma, he wonders if he would let the soldiers in the abdominal row learn what the majesty of a leader is.
The Paris City Hall has been hoisted with a swastika flag. Not only that, but all major buildings in Paris, such as the Paris Opera House, Place de la Bastille, and the Eiffel Tower, also have German swastika flags flying. In every corner of Paris. The German Wehrmacht used such a move to show that Paris now belongs to Germany.
The swastika flag fluttered in the wind, tightly wrapping Paris from the inside out. Once upon a time, perhaps the victors of the First World War would never have thought that just twenty years later, the same opponents would trample them severely this time. Underfoot. The armed SS outside the city had already been prepared and lined up in the open space in the northern suburbs. They will enter Paris from the northern suburbs, then cross the southern suburbs of Paris and station themselves on the outskirts of Paris. After all, General von Küchler's 18th Army first entered Paris. Lin Wei did not want to cause the party to suffer due to such a trivial matter. Friction between the Guards and the Wehrmacht.
Standing on the armored command vehicle, Lin Wei looked at his army and felt a strong sense of pride in his heart. Who doesn't want an army of his own? Lin Wei shouted with a trumpet-shaped loudspeaker, "Your clothes are flawless; your words and deeds are modest and dignified; your room will always be clean and tidy."
"I take it as a lifelong honor to be a brave and loyal SS soldier," responded Lin Wei, and the armed SS shouted in unison. Some French people watching the excitement nearby made a noise, and someone who knew German was translating the meaning of these words to the curious people nearby. The people nearby kept looking at these soldiers with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.
Lin Wei casually drew out the sword he carried as a national leader and pointed it into the air, "Our father, uncle, uncle, and even brother were just like us twenty years ago and were so close to victory! It's a pity that they finally ended up The victory is over, today, we will hold a grand military parade in the capital of France, Paris, for all the German soldiers who worked hard to win in the last war, and on behalf of those soldiers who fought bloody battles!"
"The leader's will is above all else, and the leader's orders are above all truth and law." With another oath, this grand military parade began. The black legion moved slowly, and with the arrogance and confidence of the victors, they slowly entered the city of Paris.
The somewhat violent Parisian people around them could not put the slightest pressure on the armed SS. On the contrary, as subordinates of the losers, ordinary people can only increase the pride of the armed SS. Moreover, not everyone is hostile to the German army. Many young men and women look at it with envy. The Waffen SS walked past him.
The leader of the military parade held a blood-red swastika flag. The blood-red flag made some Parisian people feel that a destructive force was approaching them, and they unconsciously wanted to stay away from the blood-red flag, but more People still feel that it is not unfair to lose to a country with such an army in front of them.
Neat military boots hit the flat ground in Paris, making people feel the trembling of the earth. As neat as a machine, coupled with the indifferent faces of the armed SS soldiers, people feel that they are not facing a group of flesh-and-blood people, but a group of war machines that have no thoughts of their own. In twenty years, Parisians have almost forgotten Germany's steel-like army, but the army that reappeared in front of the Paris people today reminded countless French veterans who participated in World War I of the terrible opponents they faced back then. The same indifference, the same obedience, long-lasting memories resurfaced in the minds of the veterans. Let the veterans overlap the image of the German Imperial Army that continued to attack despite the hail of bullets in the last war, and the young armed SS in front of them.
"My honor is loyalty!" Some soldiers shouted loud slogans, trying their best to encourage the fire in the hearts of these young soldiers.
Travel the world with our boots! ! !
Viva Heads! ! ! ! !
The SS is advancing, the road is clear!
The assault column is ready!
We must eliminate tyranny and open up the road to freedom.
Like our fathers, we are always ready for the final impact!
Death is our comrade, and we are the black team!
We are the pride of the empire!
The scars after the battle are our best proof! ! !
Looking at the armed SS who ignored everything, Lin Wei seemed to be infected, and took the lead in singing the military song of the armed SS. Although the song of the armored soldiers is more classic, it does not belong exclusively to the armed SS, as long as it is German All the troops in the army can sing, and in Lin Wei’s eyes, the current military parade was specially prepared by him for the soldiers of the armed SS; Ho ho ho, our military boots are flat*, hey hey hey ho ho ho ho.”
The soldiers of Guye, dressed in black military uniforms, were shouting, "Hey, hey, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!" Soldiers, roar! Go forward, charge! Let the red rooster crow from the top of the castle, soldiers, roar! Go forward, charge! Let the red rooster crow from the top of the castle. When Adam and Eve were working hard, hi ah hi yo ho ho hoo ho ho, no monarch could trample on their land, (where are the gentlemen?), hi ah hi yo ho ho ho ho.
The brave warriors of Guye, whose bows and arrows brought down the knights, whose flag is the boots of the peasants, trampling our enemies underfoot, the only god of the nobles is arrogance, hey hey hey ho ho ho ho ho, the Bible is Our guide, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Even if we lose, our ideals have not. Hey, hey, ho, ho, ho, our descendants will continue our fight, hey, hey, ho, ho, ho.
A slow and slightly sad melody began to come out of the mouths of the Waffen SS soldiers. The military song contained determination at all costs, which reminded some soldiers of their fallen comrades. But the final lyrics make it impossible to ignore Germany’s determination to never admit defeat. No one doubts that the armed SS will bring the scenes in the military song to reality, because some Parisians have heard rumors that it was this army composed of young people that annihilated the British and French troops at Dunkirk. coalition forces. These young soldiers have an equally young national leader. I heard that this national leader joined the National Socialist Party at the age of seventeen and designed many weapons with his own hands. The German Panzer IV tank was his masterpiece.
"It seems that the Germans have been preparing for revenge since the war was just defeated!" Everyone came to a terrible conclusion.
The military parade lasted until late at night. If it were not for the fear of wasting time and handing over heavy weapons to the defense forces who had already left the city, it would have taken several days for the nearly 200,000 armed SS troops to complete this event from Paris. However, this military parade left a deep impression on the Paris people, and it will still appear in the mouths of the Paris people long after.
France's military power has been destroyed and ready to die. On the day the German army occupied Paris, the left wing of the German Army Group A had reached the side of the Maginot Line. "Because this useless line of defense, after all, there are still dozens of No French army surrendered or was destroyed." Hit? Le asked Lundsted to cooperate with Army Group C to completely eliminate the French troops there. According to Hit? According to the No. 15 combat order issued by Le, Army Group C, which had been performing the task of attracting the attention of the French army in front of the Maginot Line, immediately selected the weak points of the Maginot Line defenders, namely the Alsace and Green fortification areas. The joint attacks. Army Groups A and C attacked from behind and the Maginot Line was quickly broken through. On June 17, Army Group C advanced to the Marne-Rhine Canal, Army Group A occupied Verdun, and 500,000 French troops were surrounded in Alsace and southern Greene. Except for a few who fled to Switzerland, all the rest were wiped out.
Germany's victory was determined. At this time, Pétain announced the end of resistance, proving that France was indeed incapable of continuing to fight. Hit? What Le needed at this time was how to deal with the defeated France. Hit for this? Le summoned his allies Mussolini. The reason why Hitler could still think of Mussolini was because he had not forgotten the help Mussolini had given Germany at the critical moment, although this help had almost no effect.
By June 18, when Hit? About 32 Italian divisions had been "fighting" for a week when Le summoned his partners to Munich to discuss an armistice with France. However, they did not force the weak 6 divisions of French troops to take a step back on the Alpine frontline and the southern coast at all, although the defenders were now being threatened by attacks from behind by the German troops sweeping along the Nile River Basin. Mussolini was already in great disgrace, and our troops had not yet advanced a step. Even to this day they have not been able to advance and have halted in front of the first line of French defenses that offered resistance.
Mussolini had boasted about his military power, but this was revealed to be a bluff from the start of the war. So when the deflated Italian dictator and Ciano took the train on the night of June 17 to meet Hitler? When Le was negotiating an armistice with France, he was in a gloomy mood.
Mussolini was quite dissatisfied. The sudden peace talks made him feel uneasy. During the trip, Ciano and Mussolini had detailed conversations in order to clarify the conditions for an armistice with France. The leader... wanted to occupy the entire French territory and demanded the surrender of the French fleet. But he knew that his opinions could only have reference value. War is Hit? Italy did not participate in any active military operations. Only Hitler had the final say. This, of course, made Mussolini feel melancholy and uneasy.
