"Colonel, we're here!"
When he arrived at the General Staff Headquarters in Hamburger, Colonel Mayinz found the atmosphere tense.
The German camp in Hamburger was empty compared to when he left. At first, Maynz didn't realize what this meant when he rushed to Marshal Hindeburg's office. After all, hundreds of thousands of soldiers had been laid off, so it would be strange if the camp wasn't empty!
"You're back?"
Marshal Hindeburg looked a lot more haggard than a few months ago. The old marshal did not look too good. The dark circles under his eyes and the fatigue on his face made people worry about his physical condition.
"Colonel Maynz van Lewinsky reporting for duty!”
Maynz straightened his chest and saluted the old marshal.
"Hehe, didn't you meet any pretty girls who stole our colonel's heart? Sit down and talk!"
The old marshal laughed and joked. Mayinz was embarrassed and blushed, but he didn't explain anything. It was unnecessary. The old marshal was just teasing him and didn't really care about this problem. As expected, Marshal Hindeburg waited for him to sit down and said,"
"How are things in North America?”
Marshal Hindeburg didn't ask about what happened in the furry bear and the Far East. He directly asked about what he had seen in North America.
This didn't mean that the old marshal didn't understand what happened in Furious Bear and the Far East. It only meant that the old marshal placed more importance on the matters in North America.
" The plan is going very well. With the help of Goldsman, we have successfully entered the most promising car industry in North America. In the future, the car industry in North America will usher in a ten-year golden period of development. During this period, as long as our technology does not lag behind other car manufacturers, I am confident that we can rely on Hans's craftsmanship to create better products and earn more funds for the Empire!”
Hindeburg nodded, indicating that he understood.
"I read your telegram and understand your plan. However, I want to ask you, are you confident that this secret plan will succeed?”
Marshal Hindeburg trusted Mayinz very much, so he didn't interfere too much with his plans. However, the old marshal had to ask about some things that made him uneasy.
Hindeburg's secret plan actually referred to the use of North American car factories to secretly develop and produce armored vehicles and tanks for the German army, accumulating technical experience for the armored tactics of the Third Reich in the future.
According to history, after the economic crisis that affected the whole world in 1929, the economy of all countries was greatly affected, and the Weimar Republic was no exception. Large numbers of workers lost their jobs and social unrest led to great changes in the country's political power. The bearded man came to power, and after the bearded man came to power, he immediately abolished the Versailles treaty. Not only did he refuse war reparations, but he also wanted to expand the army and restore Hans 'National Defense Force. Completely break through the various restrictions on the German army in the Versailles treaty.
From now on, in at most fifteen years, the German army would be able to lift the restrictions and start developing their own weapons such as aircraft and tanks!
However, the accumulation of technology required a lot of time. If the German army did not do anything now, then their technology in tanks, armored vehicles, etc. would fall behind Europe and the United States. After all, these countries were not restricted by the Versailles treaty. They could develop and produce these weapons as they pleased!
In order to prevent the German army from having a huge generation gap in weapons and equipment, from now on, they had to find ways to develop these weapons and keep up with the world trend as much as possible. Once the treaty was abolished in the future, the technology they had accumulated before would immediately come into play!
During the Second World War, the importance of aircraft and tanks was unquestionable. It could be said that these two weapons were the most important weapons in land warfare, so they had to speed up their development.
It was still fine for the aircraft because the civil aviation field would develop rapidly in the future. Civil aviation passenger transport services would appear between countries, so the German army could secretly carry out relevant research and experiments under the guise of developing civil aircraft. As long as the British, French, and other countries did not find conclusive evidence that the military was involved in these matters, their plans would not be discovered.
However, tanks were not that simple. After all, no one would use tanks as transportation tools, so it was difficult to produce tanks in the country.
Hans's territory was not large, and there were not many factories. The production of tanks required strong technical support. The allied countries only needed to conduct regular inspections of the relevant factories to easily understand the tricks of the German army. Therefore, they could not place the tank production and development center in their own country.
Therefore, one of the purposes of this visit to foreign countries was to find a suitable place to secretly study the tank technology belonging to the German army.
"I have already considered the safety factors. So far, we only have three choices. The first is to cooperate with the red bear. The red bear is currently isolated by all countries in the world. The allied countries have even strongly supported the generals of the White Army in an attempt to overthrow them. If we propose to cooperate with them at this time, I believe that the red bear will definitely not refuse.”
Hindeburg nodded. The situation of the red bear was worrying. In this case, it was of great significance for them to get the support and recognition of a big European country, so the foundation of cooperation between the two sides was actually very good. However, he knew that after the field trip, Mayinz rejected the idea, which made Hindeburg very curious. He didn't know why Mayinz would do this.
From Hindeburg's point of view, although the red bear was an Eastern European country, it was not too far away from Hans. Compared to other regions, this was, after all, on the edge of Europe. Therefore, if he cooperated with the red bear, the technical and personnel exchanges between the two sides would be easier. After all, the transportation in this era was not particularly developed. So far and for a long time in the future, it was impossible to have a trans-Atlantic route. Even if there was, with the current safety of the aircraft, The safety of this route was also hard to guarantee!
At this time, the only way to go from Europe to North America and North America to Europe was by cruise ship. The cruise ship would take about 8-15 days at sea. In this era, when the cruise ship sailed at sea, there would still be a relatively high accident rate. In 1912, there was even a catastrophic shipwreck like the Titanic. Therefore, the R D center was located in North America. The distance was too far and the travel time was too long. This would make it difficult for them to communicate the latest technology.
Furious Bear, on the other hand, didn't have such a problem. Although the train was slow, it could still arrive in two or three days. This speed was undoubtedly much faster than the trans-Atlantic route. Moreover, the railway technology in this era was relatively mature, so it was much safer than sea transportation!
So, why didn't Mayinz consider Mao Xiong when Mao Xiong's conditions were the best?
