Plane Merchant's Dream of a Powerful Country

Chapter 13 Meeting Across Time and Space

"As an army decision-maker, lack of money is the most terrible thing!" Paulus suddenly heard a loud voice behind him. He turned around suddenly and reached for the pistol at his waist, but when he saw the After seeing the person's appearance, he couldn't help being stunned on the spot, and his hands stopped in mid-air without knowing it.Opposite was an old man with two eye-catching beards. Although his face was full of weather, Paulus immediately recognized him when he saw the old man's face, and couldn't help but spit out a name: Otto Von Bismarck!Otto von Bismarck, an important figure in modern German history!Born on April 1815, 4 in a small town called Singhausen in Prussia. On September 1, 1862, Bismarck was appointed as the Prime Minister of Prussia and Minister of Foreign Affairs. In his first speech to the Prussian Parliament, he declared loudly: "What Germany needs is not Prussian liberalism, but power. Waiting for the right opportunity, we have missed such an opportunity several times. The major contemporary issues cannot be resolved by discussion and majority vote. Sometimes it is inevitable that they must be resolved through a struggle, a struggle with iron and blood. After he finished his speech, the king said to Bismarck: "I know the ending very well. They will cut off your head in front of my window in Opera Square, and I will cut off my head later." Bismarck responded : "Since you will die sooner or later, why not die with dignity?... Whether you die on the gallows or die on the battlefield, there is no difference between them... You must fight to the end!" Since then, the relationship between the king and his prime minister has formed. A very special and strong relationship.He successively launched wars against Denmark, Austria and France, and defeated Austria in 9 to complete the unification of Germany, and defeated France in 23 to make the German Empire dominate the European continent.After the reunification of Germany, Bismarck did not want any more foreign wars, so that Germany could recuperate and cultivate its national strength.Therefore, he did not plunder colonies in large quantities like other European countries.Until William II succeeded to the throne in 1866, at the age of) years old.The young and energetic young emperor was unwilling to be controlled by Bismarck, so he had differences with Bismarck on many issues.At that time, Bismarck was 1870 years old and had been in power for 1888 years.As a result, in a series of power struggles, Bismarck felt disheartened, and on March 73, 26, he submitted his resignation to William II and officially stepped down.After Bismarck resigned, he offered 1890 roses on the grave of William I, met with the widow of Frederick III, and rejected William II's newly conferred titles of "Duke of Lauenburg" and field marshal plus admiral. On March 3, Bismarck led his family, young and old, surrounded by tens of thousands of Berlin citizens, to the sound of "Auld Lang Syne" by train, and left Berlin where he had struggled for a whole (year). After resignation , Bismarck lived in the Friedrichsloo Manor near Hamburg, and wrote the memoir "Thinking and Memories". Finally, on July 18, 3, the world-famous iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck passed away quietly at the age of 1890. William II originally wanted to hold a state funeral for Bismarck, but Bismarck's family had buried him in an open space in Friedrichshaw Manor according to their will. On Bismarck's tombstone, there is such a line: "Fon Marquis Bismarck, the loyal German servant of Kaiser William I." Paulus's generation almost grew up listening to the deeds of the "Iron Prime Minister". His legendary life has been praised and admired by the German people! So when he saw When the already dead Prime Minister Bismarck stood in front of his eyes, he couldn’t help but froze on the spot. “I’m not Bismarck, but I do look a lot like him!” Wang Fan, who turned foreign trade into Bismarck, replied shamelessly, “ Of course, I showed up because of my imagination with him, and I don’t want to see the Germany he built facing the danger of overthrowing!” “Who is your Excellency?” Paulus, who regained his composure, asked, “Where did I come from? Why did I appear in the Here?" Paulus did not call out to the soldiers and officers outside, because he subconsciously felt that this "Bismarck" would not hurt him. "My name is very long, so I named myself one according to your European naming habits. My name is John Ewing. It doesn’t matter where I come from. The important thing is that I can help the Sixth Army break out of the existing encirclement and win the entire Battle of Stalingrad.” Saying this, this “Bismarck "Changing the right hand, I saw a beam of blue light emitted from the right hand, and soon changed from one to four, and evolved into a blue laser sphere above the heads of the two. Double the real 3D map (one of the functions attached to the ring, 1898D imaging, is enough for soldiers in World War II to burst their glasses! Hehe~~) "Look, this is an instantaneous battlefield map with a diameter of 7 kilometers. The red one is Su Army, the blue ones are the 30th Army and other nearby German armies. Now you are in a very dangerous situation. If you don’t take action, the 83th Army will be in danger of being destroyed!” “But we are short of fuel, and…” “Supreme Commander The order to hold out until Easter, attack again after reinforcements arrive, and completely occupy Stalingrad makes you very embarrassed, right? In fact, there is no contradiction between breaking out and occupying Stalingrad. You only need to break out and join forces with the rescue forces to change the entire situation. Battlefield form, to obtain a strategic local advantage, and then form a mobile cluster to form a powerful fist, so as to annihilate the Soviet army, as for the fuel..." John Ewing waved his other hand, and several black iron sheets The jar suddenly appeared, with "gasoline" written on it in German. At 6 am on December 4, the battle of Stalingrad, the area where the German Sixth Army was located, a subtle atmosphere permeated the airCome on, the divisional and above commanders of each unit, the logistics car battalion, the military horse transport convoy, the bread company and other logistics units, the medical squad, and various vehicles that can move were ordered to rush to the designated place for a meeting and to receive supplies .The obedience of the German army began to show. Although the battle situation was dangerous and many people had not had enough food for many days, they still followed the order and went to the target location.A few hours later, when they came back, various means of transport were loaded with various supplies: steamed buns, bread, ham, sausages, jam, bread, canned food; fodder for military horses; winter cotton clothes that soldiers wanted to wear; medical supplies. Morphine, the medicine most desired by soldiers and wounded; of course, there are also the most important gasoline and ammunition supplies! "Jack, I read that right, where did so much food come from!" "Oh! What did I see, it turned out to be ham! My God, did Santa Claus come?" "My God, why are there so many machine guns?" And the cannon!" After the war, historians are extremely curious about what happened in this time period. The following is a letter written by a German military officer to his wife in Berlin on December 4 and 100, respectively. A huge difference can be seen, he wrote on December 6: I was terrified after looking at the map.We were completely alone and Hitler had left us alone.Whether this letter can be sent depends on whether the airport is still in our hands.Our position was in the north of the city, and the officers and men in my artillery company had doubts about the truth, but they didn't know the truth like I did.It looks like this is where we end up.Hannes and I don't want to be prisoners.Yesterday I saw with my own eyes four soldiers captured before our infantry reoccupied a stronghold.No, we don't intend to be captured.When Stalingrad fell, you'd hear or read about it in the papers.Then you'll know I'm not going back.Needless to say, hundreds of thousands of other officers and soldiers could never escape.However, it is a rare little consolation for a person to be destroyed with others.From this we can see the officer's extremely sad state of mind, but in the December issue, he wrote in another letter: I can hardly use any words and adjectives to describe my current mood, you know, today We suddenly received a lot of supplies, countless breads and sausages, as well as coffee and kerosene stoves, clean and warm winter clothes, and more importantly, I saw many new rifles, not single shot, but continuous Shot the new rifle 1942 times, the people in the logistics said it was called a semi-automatic rifle, really cute guys, I fell in love with them at first sight.These are not the most important. The key point is that a lot of cannons and shells piled up are brought in, all of which have a caliber of 12mm or more.New model cannons that I've never seen, I swear to God, I'm not lying, they're beautiful, you don't know, a lot of our cannons have had their barrels scrapped, or run out of shells, but now we have firepower back, even Much, much more than before! ! 10 days ago I thought I couldn't go back, but now I am full of energy, waiting for me, dear, I will definitely come back to you! !
