When Schuschnigg woke up again, he was already on the plane.
"The German-Austrian merger agreement has already been signed by you. Even if we are reluctant, it is already a done deal. Adolf has already publicized the message and the original to all the foreign envoys in Berlin. France, Britain, and Italy have all announced their recognition.”
The attendant's words made Schuschnigg's heart ache.
"How could I have thought that that bastard Adolf would use such a despicable method!”
Schuschnigg regretted it, but he also knew that even if he did not fall into the trap, Austria, which had lost foreign aid, would sooner or later become Adolf's.
"What about now? How's the situation in the country?"
Schuschnigg asked in annoyance.
The attendants looked at each other with despair in their eyes.
"Just yesterday, the Imperial Army crossed the border and has probably occupied the entire western part of Austria.”
The secretary's tone was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.
Then, there was a dead silence.
"Anyway, let's return to Vienna first!”
Schuschnigg said in grief as he looked out of the window at the German fighter planes following him.
Soon, his private plane arrived at Vienna Airport.
"What? Vienna has fallen too?"
When Schuschnigg got off the plane, the first thing he saw was not the representatives of the presidential palace who had come to welcome him, but the imperial paratroopers on the street.
"Without any warning, the German Empire suddenly launched a surprise attack on us. I don't know how these soldiers descended from the sky, but they occupied the entire Vienna in just one night.”
The deputy prime minister said helplessly.
"What about our casualties? Is it serious?"
Schuschnigg felt a little confused. As soon as he left, Adolf's army occupied all of Austria.
" There were no casualties. We didn't, and neither did they. Our Republic's army didn't resist at all. The speed of the people of the country stunned them. They even received an order from the Vienna High Command not to resist.”
The president's envoy's words shocked him even more.
"Oh my God! Am I dreaming?" Schuschnigg sat in the car heading to the presidential palace and watched the tanks of the Imperial Army driving on the streets of Vienna. He knew that the situation was hopeless.
"Seth Inquarter has become Home Secretary.”
The deputy prime minister whispered to him.
" Alas, it's over. Everything is over..." Schuschnigg knew that he had no way out when he learned that the Nazaire had become a senior official in Austria.
"What does Mr. President want to discuss with me?”He took a deep breath and asked the commissioner of the presidential palace.
"It's about the signing of the merger agreement.”the commissioner said.
"Then there's no need." Schuschnigg sighed and handed the letters to the commissioner.
"This is my resignation letter. From the time you handed it to the president, I was no longer the Prime Minister of Austria. I will be a sinner of Austria, and I have no face to stay here.”
After Schuschnigg finished speaking, he asked the driver to stop in front of the presidential palace and leave the commissioner behind. He then took a car back to the prime minister's office and saw his family and the luggage that had been packed.
"If you want to leave Austria, I think we can give you a ride.”
The imperial major who occupied the Prime Minister's office said seriously. Behind him were a few cars that had been prepared in advance.
"Sigh."
After taking one last look at the Chancellery, Schuschnigg got into the Imperial car with a pale face and headed to the airport in Vienna to board the plane to London.
"Sir, why didn't we kill him?”
A soldier asked the major who sent Schuschnigg off as he watched Schuschnigg's plane leave.
"Because Princeps didn't kill him."
the major said.
……
German Empire, Berlin, Chancellery
"Chancellor, the Austrian government has publicly acknowledged the agreement. Now, all you need to do is sign it, and the German-Austrian merger will be realized.”
Misch reported.
"I'll do this myself. Tell the Imperial Guards that I'll personally go to Vienna to complete the signing ceremony!”
Adolf put down his pen and said.
He was not as excited as he was in history, because he was just a person who had transmigrated in this life. He had no feelings for Vienna, a place that had once made him wander, love, and hate. What he was doing now was just a formality.
Compared to the glory of returning home, Adolf was more concerned about the system's response.
"Beep, congratulations to the host for expanding your territory. System reward will now be issued!”
The system's voice reminded him.
[System reward: Military factory X10, civilian factory X10, JU87 Stuka dive bomber design X1, FW190 fighter jet design x1, Pisimai class battleship design X1, Prince Eugen class heavy cruiser design X1.]
"System, I need to make some adjustments to the rewards this time.”
Adolf said.
"Hmm? Adjusts? How do you want to adjust it?"
The system suddenly changed its tone and immediately went back to the topic of family gossip.
"I don't want the Prince Eugen anymore. I'll replace it with the blueprint of the North Caroline class battleship, the Washington.”
Adolf said.
"Hmm…but the number of points you have gained from expanding your territory and influence isn't enough for the system to reward you as you requested. The technology points required for the battleship Washington are too high, and you don't have enough points.”
"Not enough?"
Adolf was stunned. He had completely incorporated Austria into the territory of his empire and obtained 2000 technology points. In addition to the 4000 technology points left after exchanging for the Leopard Tank, it was still not enough for a battleship?!
" Cough cough…It's like this. The Washington was the best first-class battleship that had been tested in actual combat during World War II. It was equipped with the most advanced fire control radar technology in the world at that time. It was also the battleship with the highest meritorious service during World War II. It enjoyed the reputation of being an iconic historical weapon, so the demand was naturally very high.”
the system said apologetically.
"An iconic historical weapon? Eh…wait! Is it true that other than the one you gave me, all other powerful weapons are like this?”
Adolf suddenly realized that he might face this problem if he wanted to modify the technology tree.
"For example, the Tiger tank? That's right."
the system replied.
"Then can I only want the fire control radar blueprint and not the entire warship?”
Adolf thought for a moment and felt that the reason why he wanted the Washington was purely because of its fire control radar. It would be good if he could make its fire control radar and install it on the Splismail.
"Hmm…a single fire control radar costs 5000 technology points.”
“5000？！”
Adolf blinked.
5000 Technology Points could be exchanged for several powerful weapons in the system's database! Now, just a fire-control radar would cost so many points.
"Is it worth it to exchange for this?" Adolf couldn't make up his mind, and he felt a little conflicted. He casually flipped through the system's achievement system.
"Hmm? The reward for completing the Sinking of the Hood was 10000 Technology Points?”
Adolf suddenly discovered something amazing.
The achievement of sinking a warship was actually higher than the achievement of annexing a small country?
"This achievement will deal a huge blow to the morale of the British Empire's navy, so the system has determined that its effectiveness exceeds peaceful annexation.”
The system prompted.
It seemed that if he wanted to obtain a huge amount of Technology Points, he had to start a war. It was impossible to rely on peaceful annexation.
Adolf pondered for a while.
"Okay, then let's change. Anyway, the construction of the Zeppelin class aircraft carrier can be completed without the guidance of the system.”
Adolf clapped his hands and immediately exchanged for the design of the fire control radar.
