The Third Reich: I seized power

“Your Excellency, the Gauls have retreated, we have won!” Admiral Bromberg reported to Hess

“Very good, it seems that the Gauls are really as we imagined, and they dare not touch us at all.” Hess had a confident smile on his face.

“Your Excellency, since the Gauls have chosen to compromise and retreat this time. Well, with the first there will be a second. We should be able to get them to continue to compromise in the future. Paul Goebbels said.

“Yes!” Hess nodded.

He clearly remembered that in another time and space, the empire and the Gallic kingdom of the sun never set, and the Third Reich were constantly compromised and retreated until the outbreak of war.

They want to lead the water to the east, let the Third Reich attack the Mao Bear Alliance, and let the Third Reich and the Mao Bear Alliance fight a fish to break the net, and both lose. But the end result was to shoot himself in the foot, and Mustache directly signed a non-aggression pact with the Mao Bear Alliance, and then turned around and swept through Western Europe, crushing the Gallic state in a month, and at the same time began a large-scale bombing of the Sun Never Set Empire.

“Your Excellency, will the second phase of the expansion continue?” Admiral Bromberg asked.

After all, the Gauls had already compromised and retreated, and the expansion of the Third Reich was not so urgent.

“Of course, continue to expand the army. When the expansion is complete, we will test the Allies again. When the time comes, march to the Rhine Demilitarized Zone. This is our territory, how can it be without our troops stationed? Hess said.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Admiral Bromberg nodded.

The existence of the Rhine Demilitarized Zone was indeed a shame for the soldiers of the Third Reich.

Their own territory, but their own military personnel are not allowed to station, but they are controlled by foreigners.

After the rise of the Third Reich, it was natural to send troops into the Rhine Demilitarized Zone to end this state.

Of course, this was undoubtedly another test for the Allies.

It’s just that it’s different from another time and space mustache that takes a risky gamble.

The Third Reich of this time and space is ready. After expanding to 800,000, it is enough to deal with all problems.

The return of the Saarland plunged the entire Third Reich into a carnival.

Celebratory parades were organized everywhere, not just to celebrate the return of Saarland, but more to celebrate the rise of the Third Reich.

The Third Reich, which has always been oppressed, can finally say no to the Entente!

In February 1935, Hess attended the Wehrmacht Army Conference.

Previously, Hess proposed an overhaul of the Army formation.

The current Army of the Third Reich still uses the army structure of the last World War. Many weapons and equipment are also the same weapons and equipment of the previous war.

For example, the Mauser 98K, rifle, used by infantry, has been used for decades. Despite the improvements, the performance and power are still good. However, this is, after all, an old-fashioned rifle.

In the ensuing battle, the infantry must have great firepower. So, Hess began to lead the reform of the Army.

On the one hand, it is a reform of the weapons and equipment used by the army, and on the other hand, it is a reform of the establishment.

The Third Reich Army’s current infantry squad size was ten men, one non-commissioned officer and nine soldiers, divided into a three-man machine gun group and a six-man rifle group.

The squad leader carried a submachine gun and had two submachine gun cartridge bags. Inside each bag are three magazines for 32 rounds.

The machine gunner carries an MG34 general-purpose machine gun and a 50-round cartridge belt or drum.

The deputy shooter carries four drums of 50 rounds, a 300-round ammunition box and two spare barrels.

The third shooter carried two 300-round ammunition boxes and a Mauser 98K rifle.

Each soldier in the rifle group carried a Mauser 98K rifle and 90 rounds of ammunition, along with two or three hand grenades.

Such firepower was already very good in the early days of the war, at least stronger than most countries. Especially if the old Maozi is called, he is even beaten.

In Hess’s eyes, though, that wasn’t enough.

At Hess’s behest, the Army has commissioned Mauser to develop semi-automatic rifles. Large-scale mass production is expected within one or two years. At that time, a large number of semi-automatic rifles will be used to replace the 98K rifle.

You know, the 98K rifle is single-shot with a limited rate of fire. Semi-automatic rifles, on the other hand, are often capable of firing forty rounds per minute in combat.

In addition to this, the infantry squad was equipped with a grenade canister.

The grenade canister is a simple weapon to manufacture and not complicated in technology, but it is an excellent infantry support weapon on the battlefield.

In another time and space, the Third Reich and the Eastern Kingdom were equipped with this weapon, and they had excellent performance on the battlefield.

Now Hess equipped the infantry squad with grenade canisters, which further strengthened the infantry’s firepower.
