Chapter 247: Entering Vienna
Cialick spoke very easily, and this confidence also infected Bock. I hope everything goes well.
"Hey, old man, have you heard of it? Prime Minister Shuschnig has resigned!" On the border, an old woman nagged with several old women on the street for a long time. When she returned home, she said to her old man.
The old man sat on the bed, smoking a cigarette in a dull sense: "Just say yes, anyway, it's the same for everyone to go to the stage. Fortunately, we are farmers, and the food we grow is enough for ourselves. As long as we get new ones, don't impose higher taxes on us. As long as we can live our lives, we can do it."
The old man was open-minded.
People in the countryside don’t understand political matters. When they come to power, no matter how loud the slogans are, they are useless. They can only feel their lives.
If life is good, you will naturally miss it. If life is bad, what can you do if the smallpox is so shattered? Isn’t it the same?
Look at the next door! Thinking of this, the old man was extremely depressed.
Tens of kilometers away is Germany. Over the years, Germany's development has made everyone jealous.
The expressway has almost been built to the border, and the people there are living a good life! They have endless bread, and many of their families have begun to own cars! I heard that even the farmers on their side have to go out for vacation once a year!
I thought about it and was extremely envious. In this life, I have not left here with my wife. The woman’s wish for the whole life is to see the sea. Unfortunately, this wish cannot be realized!
"Old man, can't you listen to people finish your words?" the woman continued: "I heard that Germany has put pressure on us to annex our Austria."
Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up: "Annexation? What kind of merger is it called return? We and Germany are both Germans! Really? Really? If only we can return to Germany, that would be great!"
Thinking of this, the old man had already sat up all over his body and he was a little excited.
He has no feeling at all. What is the difference between a country that is destroyed or not? Anyway, I can’t live anymore. What’s wrong with merging with Germany? At least, life is better than now!
Moreover, Germany is also a Germanic and is the same nation as itself!
"Room, rumble." At this moment, huge roars sounded one after another in the distance.
What sound?
Could it be that the German army has arrived?
Go out and take a look! The old man got off the bed and greeted his wife: "Let's go and see! By the way, carry the eggs at home!"
The old man put on his bad shoes that he had been wearing for three years, and a big hole was revealed on it and walked out.
At this time, there were more and more people on the streets outside. They looked at a convoy slowly moving towards them in the distance.
This is a tank unit, and the headlights of the tank are dazzling, majestic and majestic!
On the tank's turret, half of the tank's body was exposed. They were wearing handsome SS uniforms, and their eyes were filled with joy.
"Teacher, there are so many people in front of you!" Guderian's tank was in the middle. At this time, he also showed his body halfway up, looking into the distance, and listening to the gunner beside him shouting.
Many people! However, it can be seen that none of these people are hostile.
"Be careful, stay friendly." Guderian took the radio and gave orders to the entire division.
Stay friendly!
The tank hand in front slowed down, for fear that they would scratch one by accident. They could see the villagers in the mountainous areas here watching their arrival happily.
An old man, carrying a basket of eggs, shouted loudly in the crowd: "Our army is back, do you eat eggs?"
The tanker shouted to these people: "Our compatriots, it is very happy to see you. Please do not block the way. We have a mission. We will drive to Vienna. Thank you for your eggs!"
Don’t block the way, it’s too late to see clearly!
Guderian's tank passed by these simple farmers. When he looked at these cheering people, he felt energetic. Just like when he entered the Rhineland, the people in the Rhineland region cheered like this!
The news that the front crossed the border was soon spread to the military headquarters. Listening to the front being welcomed by the Austrian people, Bock was extremely excited. Everything was as said by General Cialek!
The people of Austria are welcoming.
"Let's go, are you going to go together?" Cirick said to Bock.
Bock nodded. Now that the main force has been dispatched, it is time for them to set off.
Outside, a tall and mighty tank stayed there. Judging from its appearance, it was very similar to the Black Panther tank, but it looked a little slight difference.
Now, the army has equipped a considerable number of Leopard 2 tanks, and Boke's Third Army owns hundreds of them. Boke is also very familiar with this kind of tank.
And now, the tank in front of you looks bigger?
"This is our latest tank, which was completed by Krupp a few months ago. This tank is just enough to come for a long-distance driving test." Cialek said: "Let's go, go up."
The latest tank!
On the Spanish battlefield, the German Black Panther 1 and Black Panther 2 tanks have been exposed to the whole world, and the performance of these tanks has surpassed this era.
However, Cialek also knew that a weapon could not always maintain an absolute advantage, and could only be continuously developed!
After years of development, Krupp has solved all technical problems, such as the production of long-barrel tank guns, such as high-strength torsion bar system, and now the Black Panther 2 tank equipped with the army can be upgraded to the level of Black Panther 1 tank at any time.
All of these are not enough.
After the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet Union would also remain highly vigilant against these German tanks. Their T-26s were completely out of date, so objectively, it would stimulate the design and finalization of the Soviet T-34 tanks.
Even though the Soviet Union has carried out a major cleanup and penetrated into the army, the research and development of new tanks is still continuing.
The information obtained by the intelligence system, the tank codenamed A-32, is already undergoing intensive testing, which is a 30-ton tank from the Soviet Union.
Germany's industrial advantages made Cialek believe that the Black Panther 1 tank is sufficient to fight against the T-34 tank improved from the A-32, the long-barrel 75mm gun, and its performance is even greater than the 85mm tank gun in the late T-34 period. At the same time, the Black Panther's tilted armor is also thick enough, but these are not enough.
