Chapter 31: Seekert's support

"This kid's ambition is really not small." At this time, in the Ministry of Defense in Berlin, an veteran could not help sighing as he listened to Gustav in front of him.

As a German capitalist, Gustav will never stand in the wrong team. Just after Cyrek left, Gustav reported all this to Seekert, the commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht.

Johannes Friedrich Leoped von Seekert, or Hans von Seekert for short, was born in Schleswig in 1866. In later generations, Seekert did not have much Fame, not even Bowman, the tanker of the Tiger tank.

However, he is the real mainstay. He is the founder of Germany's "One Hundred Thousand Army". All he has done has laid the foundation for the re-emergence of the German Army, and he is the well-deserved father of the German Army in World War II.

In 1919, he served as the chief of staff of the German army after the war, and a year later became the commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht.

In that era of political turmoil and the country's chaos, Seekert certainly couldn't do much. However, he has created an army that has become the mainstay of the country and proved to be the best trained and strongest leader of his time!

The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that the number of German troops should not exceed one hundred thousand, so Seekert established the standard: Soldiers are in good health and have more than 12 years of service experience; officers must have more than 25 years of service experience.

A large number of people who failed to meet the requirements were forced to retire. Although the size of the German army has shrunk, it can be expanded at any time. Every soldier is trained to become a sergeant, and every sergeant is trained to become an officer. An officer is trained to become a general.

In the exercise, the individual soldier should claim that I am a certain platoon or represent an 8-man machine gun group. Without tanks or artillery, just use cardboard and wood to imitate! The German army can be expanded into hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops at any time. All of this comes from Seekert!

At the beginning, after Hitler came to power, he tore up the Versailles Treaty and easily expanded into millions of troops. This is also thanks to Seekert. It was Seekert’s early efforts that gave Hitler a good foundation.

Now, Seekert is the mainstay of the German army.

Unfortunately, he can also feel that the small actions behind it are really too small. The military technology of Britain and France is developing rapidly. In contrast, Germany is constantly lagging behind.

Especially the tank! During World War I, the tank has been proven to be a very powerful weapon, a weapon capable of rewriting the war situation. Unfortunately, the Treaty of Versailles restricted Germany from being able to manufacture tanks!

Cyric, I want to build a base in Libya and develop the latest German tank in the endless desert where no one pays attention!

This is a whimsical idea! At the same time, this idea has a great possibility of success!

As the largest arms giant in Germany, the relationship between Krupp and Seekter is of course very good! In this eventful season, the Krupp family must determine its political position!

If Seekert agrees, then Krupp will go all out. If Seekert disagrees, then let Hannah go and make a fuss.

"Actually, decommissioning Cyric is the last resort of the army. I have been thinking about when to re-transfer Cyric to the army."

Looking out the window, Seekert said, "That's good, the Treaty of Versailles prevents us from developing any weapons, especially tanks. We must not give up.

Sikter’s feelings are complicated.

Cyric, can be said to be a rebel who participated in the beer hall riot. However, Cyric's speech when he accepted the sentence has infected many people!

In Seekert’s eyes, Cyric is still a child. Although this child has gone the wrong way, he is thinking about the future of Germany!

And now, when we go to develop tanks in the desert, Krupp will come up with more advanced technologies. It would be a good thing if we can design advanced tanks there!

This means that Germany can use full power at any time to produce advanced tanks in large quantities, instead of waiting for the time to concentrate manpower and material resources to develop tanks!

A mature model is very important!

This requires a lot of investment and a lot of time. It takes at least five years for a model to mature! In the German army, tanks are indispensable!

"General Seekert, now that you agree, then our Krupp company will go all out." Gustav said.

go all out to build the latest tank!

"Since it's decided, I might as well bring in a few more." Seekert said: "Rheinmetall, Henschel, Daimler-Benz can all send out some researchers. Each company will allocate a small number of researchers. People will not cause Western discoveries. At the same time, confidentiality must be done well. Once an accident occurs, the government will not stand up and take any responsibility."

Of course the government will not stand up! This kind of secret research on weapons is elusive, otherwise, this might not be an excuse for Seekert to support this operation.

The leader is Cyric. If things are really revealed, they can all be pushed to Cyric. Anyway, the government is opposed to this organization.

And if things are not revealed, in the base there, you can continue to develop your own technology and prepare for the next war in the future!

And all this, it seems hopeless, the Italian, will you agree?

Regardless, in short, these have nothing to do with the government or the military!

If you fail, you are not responsible. Once it succeeds, any technology will converge in Germany, and it will eventually become German military technology! There is no doubt about this.

Just nodded, the outside door was knocked open, and an adjutant hurried over and said: "General, Major Guderian has requested to retire, and a report has been issued."

Suddenly, Seekert was taken aback.

Now, Guderian's military rank is not high, but Guderian is the person that Seekert looks after. This has to be talked about from the previous issues of military weekly. Guderian has published several articles to reveal the future. The mode of warfare, which makes Seekert very important.

This guy, he doesn't want to work in the army, so he wants to walk in?

and many more! Sikter suddenly realized something. Could it be Cyric who wanted to dig people out of the defense army? It's really hateful!

Especially, Guderian is a person whom Seekert really values! The research in military theory is very deep, and it is the pioneer of the future German armored forces! He was abducted by Cyric!
