The Third Reich: I seized power

Hess knew very well that the generals of the military wanted to expand the army. No general is willing to accept that the entire country has only 100,000 troops.

It’s just that the current country is too weak, and they are afraid that once the army is expanded, it will be strongly opposed by the Entente and even go to war. That’s why you have some scruples.

But in the end, they could not resist the temptation to expand their army.

At Hess’s behest, the military’s top brass also began to discuss.

Eventually, it was decided to begin secretly expanding the army.

The Army also secretly mobilized forces and suspended retired soldiers.

The Navy also began to develop a huge shipbuilding program.

And the Air Force, a branch of the military, which had been abolished, began to be secretly rebuilt.

In the reception room of the Prime Minister’s House, three young officers were drinking coffee, waiting for His Excellency the Prime Minister’s summons.

Or rather, even they themselves could not guess how His Excellency the Prime Minister would summon them.

After all, in the current Wehrmacht, although they have already shown their heads. However, it is not very famous.

It’s just that the current Hess has traveled back from the afterlife, and naturally knows that the future of these three officers is limitless.

They were Manstein, Guderian and Rommel, who became the three great generals of the Third Reich.

Among them, Manstein and Rommel, both promoted to marshal. Guderian, on the other hand, was a little less lucky, just a general in the army.

Actually, with Guderian’s talents, being a marshal was quite enough.

You know, the armored forces of the Third Reich that swept across the European continent were created by him.

He is known as the father of the Panzer of the Third Reich, armored warfare and blitzkrieg, and it is his theory that he put into practice on the battlefield.

“Three, Your Excellency the Prime Minister invites you to come.” Martin Bowman, secretary to the prime minister, looked at the three officers in front of him.

He was a little curious as to why Hess would value these three officers, three people, two colonels and one lieutenant colonel, there seemed to be nothing peculiar about it.

However, since Hess is optimistic about them, they are naturally destined to soar.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Manstein and others replied.

After getting up and tidying up their military appearances, they followed Martin Bowman to Hess’s office.

“Welcome to the Prime Minister’s House, young officers. I firmly believe that you will be the brightest stars of the Wehrmacht in the future! Even the marshal! Hess made no secret of his optimism for the three of them.

This made Manstein and others moved.

“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you have passed the prestige.” Manstein and others appear modest.

“Sit down, don’t be too restrained. I want to talk to you about the future of the Wehrmacht. Hess said.

But even so, Manstein and others are just as sat on the back.

“Manstein, what do you think about the future? I mean between us and the Entente? Hess asked.

You know, Manstein is known as one of the most outstanding military strategists, strategists, and most prestigious commanders of the Third Reich.

“Your Excellency, there will be a war between us and the Allies. Last time we failed, this has caused our country and people to suffer humiliation. However, the tenacious Germans will definitely not settle for the status quo and endure all this in silence. We will rise. And the Entente will definitely not let us rise. So, we have no choice but to go to war and defeat them. Manstein looked serious.

Hess nodded, war is bound to break out in the future, this is the opinion of almost all people of insight.

The vast majority of the people hope to be able to be shamed.

“Guderian, I heard that you are studying the theory of tanks and other arms of the armed forces working together? Can you talk to me? Hess asked.

“Of course, Your Excellency Prime Minister, it is my honor.” Colonel Guderian was excited.

Is his set of theories finally going to be appreciated?

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, I believe that tanks can only be fully powerful if the other classes supporting tanks have the same driving speed and cross-country power as tanks. Within the combined arms of the armed forces, tanks should play a leading role, while the other arms should act according to the needs of tanks. Therefore, instead of placing tanks in infantry divisions, it is necessary to create armored divisions that include all branches of the armed forces so that tanks can function better. Guderian laid out his theories and ideas.

“I totally agree! I believe that in the future, armored forces will be the absolute workhorse on the battlefield. In the future, you should strengthen more research in this area and put it into practice. Hess said.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister.” Guderian was so excited that he could hear Hess’s identification with him.

“Rommel, what about you?” Hess looked at Rommel, who now had only the rank of lieutenant colonel.

The famous ‘Desert Fox’ is naturally not a wasted name.

After some conversation, Hess felt that these people were simply born for war!
