The Third Reich: The Return of the King

"Colonel, here we are!".

Arriving at the General Staff in Hamburg, Colonel Mainz found the atmosphere tense.

The German barracks in Hamburg looked empty compared to when he left, and Mainz didn't react at first, but when he rushed to Field Marshal Hindenburg's office, he realized what this meant, after all, hundreds of thousands of troops had been laid off, and it was strange that the barracks were not empty!

"Coming back?".

Field Marshal Hindenburg looked much more haggard than a few months ago, and the old marshal did not look very good in spirit, and the thick dark circles under his eyes and the tired look on his face made people very worried about his physical condition.

"Army Colonel Mainz von Lewinsky reports to you!".

Mainz straightened his chest and gave the old marshal a military salute meticulously.

"Hehe, didn't you meet some pretty girl on the road who stole our colonel's heart?

The old marshal joked with a smile, Mainz was embarrassed, and his face was rare red, but he didn't explain anything, the explanations were superfluous, the old marshal just made fun of him, and didn't really care about this issue, sure enough, Marshal Hindenburg waited for him to sit down and then spoke:

"How's things going in North America?"

Field Marshal Hindenburg did not inquire about Mainz in the Woolly Bear and the Far East, but directly inquired about what he had seen and heard in North America.

This does not mean that the old marshal does not understand what happened in Mao Xiong and the Far East, it only means that the old marshal attaches more importance to the affairs of North America.

"The plan is going well, with the help of Goldman Sachs, we have successfully entered the most promising automotive industry in North America, and the future of the North American automotive industry will usher in a golden period of ten years, during this period of time, as long as our technology does not lag behind other car manufacturers, I am confident that we can use Hanse's craftsmanship to make better performing products and earn more campaign funds for the empire!"

Hindenburg nodded, indicating that he understood.

"I've read your telegram and understand your plan, but I want to ask you, are you sure you can make sure that this plan will succeed?"

Field Marshal Hindenburg trusted Mainz very much, so he did not interfere too much in his plans, but the old marshal could not help but ask about some things that disturbed him in the plan.

Hindenburg's dark Chen Cang actually refers to Mainz's use of automobile factories in North America to secretly develop and produce armored vehicles and tanks for the German army, and to accumulate technical experience for the armored tactics of the Third Reich in the future.

According to history, after the economic crisis that affected the world in 1929, the economies of all countries were greatly affected, and the Weimar Republic was no exception, a large number of workers were unemployed and social unrest led to great changes in the country's regime, and the mustache began to come to power, and after the mustache came to power, he immediately abolished the Treaty of Versailles, not only refused war reparations, but also expanded the army, restored Hans's Wehrmacht, and completely broke through the various restrictions on the German army in the Treaty of Versailles.

From now, in a maximum of fifteen years, the German army will be able to lift the restrictions and start developing and producing its own aircraft, tanks and other weapons!

However, the accumulation of technology takes a lot of time, and if the German army does nothing now, then their technology in tanks, armored vehicles, etc., will lag behind Europe and the United States and other countries in an all-round way, after all, these countries are not restricted by the Treaty of Versailles, and they can develop and produce these weapons as they like!

In order to prevent the German army from having a huge generation gap in weapons and equipment, then from now on, they must try their best to start developing these weapons, keep up with the trend of the world as much as possible, and once the treaty is abolished in the future, these technologies they have accumulated before will be able to play a role immediately!

During the Second World War, the importance of aircraft and tanks was undoubted, and it can be said that in land warfare, these two weapons were the most important weapons, so they had to be developed more intensively.

In terms of aircraft, it is good to say that because the field of civil aviation will develop rapidly in the future, and civil aviation passenger transport business has appeared between countries, so the German army can secretly carry out research and experiments in related aspects under the guise of developing civil aircraft, as long as Britain, France and other countries do not find conclusive evidence that the military is involved in these things, their plans will not be discovered.

But the tank is not so simple, after all, no one will use tanks as a means of transport, so it is difficult to produce tanks in the country.

Hans itself is not large, the number of factories is not large, the production of tanks requires strong technical support, the Entente side only needs to regularly check the relevant factories, can easily understand the small actions of the German army, so they can not put the tank production and research center in their own country.

So one of the purposes of Mainz's visit to a foreign country this time was to find a suitable place to secretly study tank technology belonging to the German army.

"I have considered the security factors, so far we only have three choices, one is to cooperate with the red woolly bear, the red woolly bear is isolated by the countries of the world at this time, and the Entente countries have even strongly supported the generals of the White Army, trying to overthrow them, if we propose to cooperate with them at this time, I believe that the red woolly bear side will definitely not refuse, because at present, in the whole of Europe, no country except us will leak and transfer these technologies to them!"

Hindenburg nodded, the situation of the red woolly bear is worrying, in this case, it is of great significance to them to be supported and recognized by a European power, so the basis for cooperation between the two sides is actually very good, but he knows that Mainz vetoed the idea after the field trip, which makes Hindenburg very curious, I don't know why Mainz did it.

In Hindenburg's view, although the red woolly bear is an Eastern European country, but it is not too far from Hans, compared to other regions, after all, it is on the edge of Europe, so if you cooperate with the woolly bear, the technical and personnel exchanges between the two sides will be easier, after all, the traffic in this era is not particularly developed, so far and for a long time in the future, it is impossible to have a transatlantic route, even if there is, in terms of the safety of the current aircraft, the safety of this route is difficult to guarantee!

At this time, Europe to North America and North America to Europe can only take a cruise, cruise ships need to sail at sea for about 8-15 days, this era of cruise ships at sea, there will still be a relatively high accident rate, in 1912 even occurred such a catastrophic shipwreck as the Titanic, so the R & D center in North America, too far away, the road takes too long, which will cause them to be difficult to communicate the latest technology.

The hairy bear does not have this problem, although the speed of the train is relatively slow, but no matter how slow, it can still arrive in two or three days, this speed is undoubtedly much faster than the transatlantic route, and the railway technology of this era has been relatively mature, and the safety is much higher than that of sea transportation!

So, why didn't Mainz consider hairy bears when the conditions were the best?
