There is a stack of newspapers from all over the world in front of the old man’s bed. At the top, an American newspaper published the news that the United States and Australia defeated the Japanese defenders
Every nation has its own hopes. If the United States has its own heroes’ day and heroes, then there are more German heroes, and each one is not inferior. The old man arcado is willing to exchange several battleships for arcado, and he is willing to exchange the latest jet fighter drawings.
"Ah … so you’re back" seems to be feeling the gaunt individual sitting next to him. Augustus narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to gently say a greeting "I respect the emperor’s position … you’re back"
Chapter 922 923 Wounded parting
"Sir, I’m back." arcado managed to squeeze out a smile and stretched out his hand to hold the old man’s withered palm. The long-term illness has made the old man angry. Those barely open eyes have long lost their former glory
"Come back! Just come back! " Augustus laughed, his face wrinkled like a blooming flower, but arcado was not in the mood to observe the master’s expression carefully. He held the old man’s palm for a long time and didn’t speak.
His lordship is obviously much better when he sees arcado back. He doesn’t have the breathing when he spoke yesterday. His thinking doesn’t seem to be slow and dull because of the rapid aging of his appearance, but he has become more wise and sensitive because of his age.
He squeezed the palm of arcado’s hand and said, "You know I have always had a wish, that is, to help you ascend to the throne of the imperial emperor. Now it seems that I have no chance. It’s really a pity."
What arcado wanted to say was interrupted by the master’s self-talk. "My funeral has been handed over to Dominice. Although he still has some shortcomings in adaptability, it is enough to win my job as a transitional prime minister … I am sure that he will not give you any trouble."
"Sir … don’t say that. I know Dominice will be a good prime minister, but I hope you can see our final victory moment, the war is over and the empire is thriving …" arcado sincerely said to Augustus, "You can tell me these words at that time. At that time, we have a lot of time to discuss these issues."
"I can’t come … I can’t come." Augustus shook his head slightly. If I hadn’t observed it closely, I wouldn’t have found that his head had moved. "Diplomatic affairs can be entrusted to Ribbentrop. This diplomat is my diplomacy to cultivate talents. I know that you have paid attention to him for a long time. I am very relieved."
Arcado had to say again what he had just said, "Sir, I said that the war will soon pass and peace will come soon. We will have a lot of time to discuss these issues later. What you need now is a good rest. I assure you that the future empire will be very beautiful. You must see it with your own eyes!"
The master smiled, and then he closed his eyes for a while and then suddenly opened them. At this moment, his eyes were brighter than when he first met arcado. He said what he wanted to say in a very gentleman tone. "Please allow me to stubbornly call you that at the last moment."
He paused and then continued, "I don’t have much time left to know myself. Now it may be the last time for me to stay in this world, so I have a few unexpected questions to ask you … or to help you solve them."
Augustus stretched out a finger. "The first question, you and I both know that the current economic situation of the empire will eventually come to an end. I really want to know how you plan to solve this problem."
Without going into details, arcado will know that his lordship said that it was the imperial wartime economy, which was an irretrievable problem. arcado did it or schacht designed a set for Hitler. He borrowed money to start the war and then used the war proceeds to pay off some debts. This economy will eventually collapse because of the end of the war, and the empire will inevitably pay the price for this kind of borrowing chickens and laying eggs.
To put it bluntly, arcado has never had enough funds to repay his early checks, including his own white orchid flower group and Krupp, and other giant chaebols are all looking forward to playing the huge dividend of the Soviet Union, but the fact of the war dividend is the ultimate way to repay many capital groups.
Monopolistic annexation and then become a behemoth comparable to the country. These consortia suck up the whole empire and feed back the funds of the emperor’s fire. If foreign wars continue, these interest groups will eventually form an unprecedented "asset empire."
And arcado’s way to deal with this problem is that he has already thought about it himself. Now he has no intention of lying to Augustus, so he gently replied, "The endowment will be limited to the monopoly chaebol, and eventually these people or groups will fall into the enemy of the empire … If they don’t give up their excessive demands, then I can destroy them with my hands."
Let the chaebol collapse and leave the last dividend of the war to the country and the grassroots people. This is arcado’s final plan to solve this economic scam. He has failed too many people and will not continue to disappoint some consortia that have helped him.
What’s more, he has already figured out a specific implementation plan, that is, to transfer the most loyal special forces to attack the Empire State Building by themselves and kill all those who disagree with him. Then he forcibly nationalized the dividends from the war, and then he spent his whole life trying to make the imperial economy land smoothly and complete the final transformation from war to peace.
It’s bloody, but it’s very difficult to control the gradual transfer of the national war dividend to a few monopoly chaebols. When these invisible funds are transferred to a few people, the state forces arbitrarily obliterate everything to complete the elimination of this huge loan-borrowing money and then killing the creditors. This method of not paying back the money is simple and logically clear.
"Don’t even let go of your own assets. I really didn’t misjudge you." Augustus seemed very satisfied with this horrible answer. He didn’t have any argument from his friend Krupp, so he nodded and agreed, "This is a radical and good way. You will get people’s support for everything you do. I said that you are a heroic emperor, but you never admit it."
Then he held out his second finger and looked at arcado curiously. Then he asked, "So can the Emperor tell me what you are doing in Germany? Or who are you, where are you from and what do you want to do here? Would you like to talk to an old man who is about to close his eyes? "
Arcado was one leng and then gave a wry smile. Sure enough, he was born and never reassured the master. Even if he pulled out the mysterious far east, Sun Yat-sen’s art of war didn’t convince the wise old man of even the slightest.
This lie has not been debunked because arcado has been doing things that are beneficial to the whole country. He has not interfered too much in the economic and military aspects, and his contribution is obvious to all. Or the reason behind his rise is not so important. Perhaps Augustus once hypnotized himself to convince himself that the Fuehrer was a "gift sent by the emperor."
But when he is about to leave this world, his master’s curiosity is rampant. Now he seems to want to know whether arcado is a gift sent by the emperor or really a genius. He looks at arcado with bright eyes and waits for arcado to answer.
"I come from the year 215, and I don’t know how I came to this world, but when I died, I opened my eyes and became arcado now." Aka thought about it for a long time and then told his master a story that was similar to the Arabian Nights. "I know that Germany lost this war by taking many wrong detours in history …"
"Are you? It turns out that we lost. "Augustus sighed lonely and believed everything he said without arcado explaining too much. He was sad for a few seconds and then slightly raised his head and looked at arcado and asked," What about this time? Will Germany be defeated this time? "
"I’ve changed some things and made Germany take fewer detours. Now we are much stronger than I know history … and the present situation is more favorable to us." arcado looked at the master’s face of expectation and answered truthfully. "But I know that history has been changed beyond recognition by me, and I don’t know whether we will win the final victory of this war."
"That makes sense … that makes sense!" Augustus nodded slightly and then let go of arcado’s hand. "This can explain why you developed so many excellent weapons before the meeting and explain why you can discover so many talents before …"
Then the master asked again, "If only I could go back to the past …"
Arcado paused and then nodded. "Yes, you will definitely go back to where you want to go!" As he spoke, he held out his palm and stroked it for Master Augustus, whose eyes were dim. He could not feel the breath of life, but he could feel a little coolness piercing his palm.
Then he approached Augustus and whispered to his master, "My original name is Gu Changge. Nice to meet you, Augustus? Feng? Mr. Bismarck "
On the evening of April 25, 1939, the Prime Minister of the Third Reich Augustus died of illness in the ward of the Imperial Hospital in Berlin at the age of 73. When he died, arcado, the head of the Empire, personally came to talk with them for about an hour.
The next day, Dominice retreated to Darwin Harbour on the same day as the Prime Minister of the Third Reich.
Chapter 923 924 Obituary
Walking out of the ward, arcado felt sad. He knew people who left him one after another, such as the "poison" of the old man on both sides who could not remember clearly. For example, Lehsmann, whose fate he changed, died in a plane crash; Although he is his enemy, Hitler is famous in his memory; And the general who used to be his company but eventually died in a foreign land; Now there is one less kind old man-Augustus …
All these people are gone, and all of them have left him. arcado is becoming more and more like a lonely dancer. The stage of the World War II shows people who have left. He doesn’t know if there will be someone who will continue to perform for him when he leaves the stage.
When arcado was sad, the Fuehrer seemed to forget that there were many people he didn’t know and had never met, and he threw them into the most cruel battlefield, where they became cold bodies. These people died without the Fuehrer sitting beside them or their relatives dragging their palms.
In fact, it is a kind of happiness to die peacefully in a hospital bed at this time, because many people die with their bodies or cold soil, and they don’t have to look for their arms or intestines everywhere when they die, which is a gift from the emperor
In arcado, when people familiar with him mourned, several German grenadiers were facing the enemy, and the tracks of Soviet tanks rolled up and the soil ran over them. There were bullets flying everywhere and the sound of shells exploding everywhere.
In the distance, a shell flew rapidly and destroyed a Soviet kv1 tank crossing the trench. The huge explosion knocked down the Germans in the surrounding trenches, and everyone’s eardrums in the trenches were buzzing with the loud noise.
Before hearing was restored and tinnitus continued, some Soviet soldiers jumped into the trenches. They rushed at the stagger German soldiers with their bayonets in their hands and their mouths open.
A German grenadier was lying on his back with his p44 assault rifle before climbing from the ground, and the Soviet soldier jumped into the trench beside him and was smashed into a sieve. Behind him, another Soviet turned into the trench and was also shot by a German gun not far away.
More Soviet troops poured in. A German soldier pulled the safety ring of the Grenade and threw it into the distance. The Soviet trenches were already full of noise, and the sand was splashed very high. Then everyone’s tinnitus continued and they still couldn’t hear what the surrounding friendly forces were shouting.
The grenadier struggled to get up from the bottom of the trench, then pushed off the magazine of the assault rifle, pulled out a new magazine from the tactical vest on his chest, clicked it skillfully, inserted it into the gun body, and then he pulled a bolt and was pushed into the gun chamber, and a bullet was ready to shoot.
He picked up his gun, then leaned against the trench wall, suddenly got up, pulled his finger in the enemy’s direction and pressed the trigger, so his muzzle was full of fire and shells flew out of the shell throwing window one by one and landed in front of him, along with his worn-out boots.
The bullet flew out of his gun, and the Soviet Red Army soldiers who were already close at hand knocked down these Soviet troops one by one. They were shot in the knee, hit in the stomach and fell down at random. Because they didn’t aim at it, the whole shooting created a wounded soldier for the other side.
Without hesitation, the German grenadier retreated into the trench, then took one of the two grenades hanging from his chest and pulled the safety ring. Then he threw the Grenade out of his trench and covered his ears without looking.
"Boom!" Another explosion, dust flying everywhere again, because he blocked his ears, which were buzzing just now, and his ears finally recovered some functions. He heard friendly troops shouting in the trenches, and the Soviets screaming and screaming not far away.
"Hans! I need reinforcements! " The trenches were in chaos in the distance, and someone in the German position called for his companion, but the answer was "Bastard! Which Hans are you looking for? "
There are too many Hans here. Hans is wounded, Hans is dead, and Hans is raging at the enemy. If there is more name than this damn name in this battlefield, it must be "Ivan" in the Soviet army opposite.
As the Soviet kv1 tank was destroyed not far away from them, a German Leopard tank slowly came out from the side of the highway subgrade in the distance, and a defense was arranged near the German army, and the Soviet attack was contained because the armored troops arrived and stabilized.
Many Soviet soldiers have rushed into the trenches and repeatedly competed with the Germans for their positions. Some German soldiers were killed by the superior Soviets. They roared in foxholes and trenches, and the soldiers of both sides exchanged fire at close range.
As the second German tank appeared in the position, the Soviets knew that this attack could not be successful, because their tanks were destroyed one after another, and the battlefield was full of destroyed Soviet tanks.
Although the three performance indexes of the Soviet Red Army tanks tried hard to catch up with the Germans, they did give birth to the more advanced 34 tanks and Stalin-but these tanks were still a few that could be equipped with most of the most elite armored units, and they also made the outdated modified kv1 tank 26, which became an important basis for the Germans to distinguish the elite degree of the Soviet Union.
Guderian’s troops are the most elite armored units of the German army. Except for some armored units temporarily assigned to him, he has about one tank of various types in his hand. Now, due to the northward attack, many independent tank destroyer battalions and some surrounding armored divisions have been temporarily assigned to him to command 17 tanks in large-scale armored battles.
With so many armored troops, this German army is not suitable for defensive warfare, and guderian has no intention of shrinking behind defensive positions to passively resist the attack of the Soviet Red Army. He has plans to speed up the transformation of offensive and defensive throughout the battlefield so that everyone can attack each other in mobile warfare
Like two boxers who know how to attack, they both give up their defense and keep attacking, trying to take the lead in knocking down their opponents. The whole battlefield is full of troops colliding between the two sides, and everyone builds simple defensive positions and then waits for their opponents to break through or break through their simple defensive positions.
However, because the troops were in a certain degree of inferiority, the German army gradually became passive in the attack. In most cases, it was put into armored defense and rarely carried out armored counterattack. This was also guderian’s intention to change the rhythm. He knew that the Soviet army would inevitably choose to attack the defense with less casualties to delay.
People who don’t know the other time, when the German armored forces fought in the defensive war, won’t know the horror of the German armored forces in the defensive war. These elite armored force commanders know when they should appear in the battlefield and where they often exaggerate their achievements against the Soviet Union.
With the German Leopard tanks participating in the war, the Soviet tanks left behind and the Soviet infantry retreated under the cover of smoke. The German positions collapsed because of this retreat, but they were able to watch their friendly troops retreat and were finally wiped out by the Germans.
The German grenadier kicked the kick, and the Soviet soldier’s calf shook from the toe of the other side to the rhythm of his kicking for two times. Then he retired the weapon magazine and inserted another new magazine into the gun body. But this time, instead of pulling the bolt immediately, he held his rifle against the trench wall.
"Fold your foot magazine! Find as many materials as possible. "The platoon leader and company commander over there shouted at the end of the battle. This is something that the Germans must do, like cleaning the battlefield. Doing so can save a lot of materials and save the rear from wasting precious raw materials.
Compared with the real deep pockets, the American Germans have won the battle completely, but some details have to adhere to the frugal style. After all, many things in Germany are not as good as those in the United States at this stage, and these details are more distinctive and important.
"This is not the other side’s main force. I think their main force should flank." A staff officer of a mechanized division near the front pointed to the front of his army’s defense and said to the division commander, "I just handed back news that there were kv1 and a small number of 34 units when the Soviet army attacked. We need to wake up a flanking friendly army."
"well! Just do what you want. Send a telegram to the neighboring troops and tell them that our side has defeated the enemy’s attack. "The teacher stared at the map with his hand behind his back, and then suddenly said to the chief of staff who was leaving the command vehicle for some reason." Just now, the State Line announced that the former imperial prime minister Augustus died yesterday. "

A team of SS ceremonial soldiers lined up in two rows with guns in their hands like pines and cypresses. Each of them has strict selection criteria for height. Every soldier has the purest Aryan descent. They look the most modest. The German face looks handsome and tall against the 35 helmets.
Among them, there are black suits and black SS troops wearing army gray-green ceremonies, and their heads are bowed into a huge phalanx. At the front of them is the lonely figure of the tall and thin Fuehrer.
He was so quiet that he stood there like a statue, and not far in front of him was a polished coffin. In this coffin lay the once prime minister of the empire, the once-called Prime Minister Augustus.
Here in arcado, he remembered that Augustus had a talk with him when the cemetery was completed. The master once said to arcado, "It is a kind of luck that they are lying here because we are still alive and can carry on with their unfinished ideals."
Arcado, the supreme dictator of this empire, wanted to tell Augustus that you are really lucky to lie here in the coffin, but is it a cowardly escape to leave the messy things in this empire to others?
