Chapter 4

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Roma is really too presumptuous. He is completely provoking you. This is absolutely unforgivable!"Hermann Goering looked very angry.

Hess glanced at him. He knew very well what Hermann Goering was thinking.

This guy wanted to look at him and Röhm. There was a struggle, and then he benefited from it.

The SA controlled by Enstrom became more and more powerful and already posed a threat to other senior leaders of the National Socialist Party.

What's more, Enstrom was still a Crazy guy, no one knows what kind of crazy behavior he will do when he is angry

"No matter what, Engstrom is our comrade. His stormtroopers are our most important force. In my heart, I really want to appoint him as the Chief of Defense Staff. However, we must get the support of the military! Otherwise, we will be ousted soon." Hess said.

Hess was also very angry with Engstrom's behavior today.

It's no wonder that Adolf in history would eventually raise his butcher knife to Engstrom.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Now we must unite all forces and avoid internal strife."Paul Goebbels said from the sidelines

"Bowman, make an appointment with General Sekter for me. I want to visit him tonight."

"Okay, Your Majesty the Prime Minister!"Martin Bowman nodded.

General Hans von Seeckt, although Marshal Hindenburg has dismissed him from the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht.

However, as the father of the Wehrmacht, he has great influence in the Wehrmacht. Influence.

It can be said that the current Wehrmacht was established by him.

After the defeat in World War I, according to the Treaty of Versailles, the Weimar army was reduced to 100,000 people.

In order to preserve military power as much as possible while retaining the ability to rise in the future General Hans von Seeckt single-handedly led the construction of the Wehrmacht.

General Seeckt formulated a plan to rearm and revive morale, retaining the Wehrmacht's greatest advantage, the officer corps, and enabling new tactics. It was brewed.

The treaty stipulated that the number of the Wehrmacht should not exceed 100,000, so the standards set by General Seekert were: soldiers must be in good health and have more than 12 years of service experience; officers must have more than 25 years of service experience.

Once a member of the Wehrmacht A member of the army must receive specialized training in a certain area, with an emphasis on leadership. He attached great importance to the personal skills and subjective initiative of soldiers. The treaty prohibited the Weimar State from having military academies, and he established a joint regiment-level unit based on In the military education system of the army, every private is trained to become a sergeant, every sergeant is trained to become an officer, and every officer is trained to become a general. Exercises are conducted every six months to enable professional skills to be acquired. Improvement and professionalism have been improved. If there are no tanks or anti-aircraft guns, they use cardboard and wood imitations. The National Defense Force may be the only army that uses toy aircraft to simulate real aircraft for air shooting exercises! Individual soldiers have to call themselves"a certain platoon" during the exercise. Or it represents an 8-man machine gun team.

This is why before the outbreak of World War II, the Wehrmacht of the Third Reich was able to rapidly expand its troops and have millions of troops. Moreover, its combat effectiveness is still very strong.

On the night of January 30, 1933, just now Hess, who became prime minister, personally visited General Hans von Seeckt.

He not only met General Seeckt, the current powerful figure in the Wehrmacht, but also met several people.

For example, General Blumberg, General Rausch, General Rundstedt, General Bock and others.

Hess took a deep breath. He knew that the time to test him had come.

If he could gain the support of these generals, it would be equivalent to gaining the support of the entire army. Fang's support.

Next, his power will be consolidated. He will even be able to make the country run according to his will.

Hess knows that these generals are arrogant. As nobles, they simply don't care. Not as good as him, who was just a corporal in World War I.

But these generals also have weaknesses.

They long for glory, for the whole country to rise again, and to defeat the enemy on the battlefield and avenge their past humiliation.

As long as Hess convinced them that he could lead them to victory.

Then it was quite easy to gain their support.

"General Sekter, fellow generals, good evening!"

In front of these soldiers, Hess had no airs.

"Hello, Prime Minister, please take a seat. I've wanted to meet you for a long time. I want to know, after you become prime minister, how do you plan to make our country strong?"General Seckter looked at Hess with a serious look on his face. He didn't go around in circles and went straight to the point.
