Chapter 607 The head of state meets
"Buzz, buzz." A 82-type bucket truck was driving on the streets of Berlin. The bucket truck was covered in soil and was obviously trekking all the way.
This kind of barrel car is a common equipment in the German front-line army and is also a commuter vehicle that is very popular among front-line soldiers.
How much do you like it? In history, in the late stage, as the US military began to gain the upper hand, they seized many barrel trucks, and the soldiers on the front line even said that they would be willing to use two Jeeps to exchange for one!
Of course, this kind of barrel cart starts with the Volkswagen Beetle. When the war to avenge Hitler began, the production of the Beetle stopped completely and everything came to the track of war.
In this case, the original Volkswagen Beetle 60 became the basis for Doctor Porsche military vehicles, and this modified one was named the 62 Volkswagen military vehicle.
Like the Beetle, this car has a rear engine with a smooth body and fenders, and the spare tire is installed in the depressions of the front hatch.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient off-road capabilities, this vehicle did not enter service. Dr. Porsche raised the chassis of this vehicle by 50 mm, improved the transmission ratio, and made corresponding improvements according to the requirements put forward by the military. The improved vehicle was named Model 82. After it was put into production, it was quickly welcomed by frontline soldiers.
The lower part of this car's chassis is flat, with a total weight of only 685 kilograms. It can be lifted from the front only by one person.
The crate-shaped body has a simple structure and a tough style. It is stamped with thin steel plates with reinforcement ribs, equipped with a folding windshield and a canvas ceiling.
The chassis is composed of a semi-tube-shaped main beam and stamped steel plate, with four wheels independently suspended and a torsion bar spring. The power is a rear 0.985-liter 4-cylinder horizontally opposed air-cooled gasoline engine.
At this time, the person sitting in the car was a young and handsome officer. His skin was even bronzed due to the sun exposure, which made him look even more charming. The new German military uniform designed by Hitler himself was even more handsome when worn on him.
At this time, he did not have so much leisure to trim his appearance, and he didn't even have time to wipe his boots clean. He hurriedly returned from the front line. He had an important task, which was to report the progress of the Seventh Armored Division to the Head of State. At the same time, he was ready to accept a new mission. The Seventh Armored Division would probably have to withdraw from the front line and after a little trimming, he would enter North Africa.
However, at this moment, a trace of anxiety appeared in his eyes, indicating that he was not restless just because of reporting on military information, but seemed to have something else.
Klaus Philip Maria Justinian Schenk von Stauffenberg, German Army Colonel, had the opportunity to meet Cialek, and before setting off, his secret conversation with someone also made him extremely excited.
Can't wait any longer! If the lunatic can't stop him now, he will bring the whole of Germany to hell!
What a crazy idea to attack Britain across the sea!
"Crill." The car finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous building. Here is the newly established joint command of the three armies. Along the way, they had already undergone several inspections before they arrived here.
"Col. Stauffenberg, you are finally here." After the car stopped, he came to greet him alone. It was General Ketter's assistant, and he said to Stauffenberg: "Please follow me immediately."
As he said that, he wanted to help Stauffenberg carry his briefcase, but the driver Heften took the lead and handed the briefcase to Stauffenberg.
"Heften, wait for me here," said Stauffenberg. He picked up his briefcase and followed the adjutant to meet General Kettle first.
Now, in the Joint Command of the Three Armed Forces, General Keitel mainly acts as a staff officer and is also one of Cialick's confidants.
He looked at the arrival of Stauffenberg and said, "Now, the war against France is about to end. The head of state is ready to reward a large number of people. The 7th Armored Division has a mission and may be issued in advance. Are you all ready?"
Not everyone who wants to see the head of state can see it immediately. Before meeting the head of state, there must be other people who will teach it first, just like the show of finding a wife in later generations. Before going on stage, a fool was educated by the backstage director to say that he could cook, but when he went up, he said that I could cook.
I asked again what kind of rice I could cook? I just put the dishes and everything in the rice cooker and cook them together...
Now, Germany has established an unprecedented record, and its old rival France has been defeated by them. According to convention, a large number of people will be promoted, the generals will become marshals, the school level will become generals, and some can even be promoted several levels in a row.
In peacetime, this kind of promotion is not much effort, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is simple, just make contributions!
The 7th Armored Division has made great contributions to its establishment. It is conceivable that even the most basic private individuals, as long as they have enough battle records and have enough enemies, could receive the Iron Cross.
At this time, the head of state was ready to give the reward.
"Thank you for your kindness," said Stauffenberg. "All the military's achievements over the past period of time have been summarized, and we are ready to go to the record of each person."
This is also the reason why Stauffenberg came back. As a teacher, it is impossible to do everything yourself. It is the most appropriate for a staff officer to do these things.
Stauffenberg's briefcase was bulging, obviously full of things.
"Okay, that's the best." Kettle glanced at the watch: "Well, the time is over, go, go with me."
Hearing his words, Stauffenberg suddenly covered his stomach: "No, my stomach hurts a little. Where is your bathroom? I'll use it."
"Then come quickly." Kettle glanced at his watch again and said, "I'll go first."
After entering Kettle's private bathroom, Stauffenberg quickly opened his briefcase. Now, because of excitement, he felt his hands trembling.
In later movies and TV series, you can often see the plot of time bombs. The numbers on it keep jumping. When it is discovered, there are only a few minutes left. Then, hesitate about which thread to cut, to set off the atmosphere.
Then, cut off one, but it was wrong. The number on it jumped quickly, and it was too late! The protagonist suddenly showed his might and cut off other leads. As a result, it was definitely the last second, and even when the number on it turned into zero or zero, it finally stopped moving.
The plot is thrilling, but unfortunately, it's all nonsense.
No fool brings the display screen when making a time bomb. Even if there is one, it will not be so eye-catching. Moreover, why is it so troublesome to use bomb disposal? Just pull out the detonator.
