Chapter 249 Entering Vienna

Cyric said it easily, this confidence also infected Bock, I hope everything goes well.

"Hey, old man, have you heard? Prime Minister Shuschnigg is resigning!" On the border, an old woman nagged with several old women on the street for a long time. When she returned home, she said to her old man. .

The old man was sitting on the bed, smoking a cigarette sullenly: "If you say goodbye, it's the same, whoever comes to power is the same. Fortunately, we are farmers, and the food we grow is enough to feed ourselves. As long as the new ones come up, don't charge us. With higher taxes, we can live as long as we can."

The old man looked at it.

People in the countryside don't understand political matters. When they come to power, it is useless to raise any loud slogans. They can only feel their own lives.

If life is good, you will naturally miss it. If life is bad, no matter how hype, what can you do? Still not the same?

Look next door! Thinking of this, the old man was extremely depressed.

A few dozen kilometers away is Germany. Over the years, the development of Germany has made everyone jealous.

Almost all the highways have been repaired to the border, and the people over there are living a good life! They have endless bread, and many of their families have started to own cars! I heard that even the farmers on their side have to go on vacation once a year!

Thinking about it makes me very envious. In my life, I have not left here with my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law's wish for a lifetime is to see the sea, but unfortunately, this wish cannot be realized!

"Damn old man, can't you listen to what people have to say?" The woman continued: "I heard that Germany put pressure on us to annex our Austria."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up: "A annexation? What annexation, is that called a return? We and Germany are originally Germanic! Really? Really? If we can return to Germany, then All right!"

Thinking of this, the old man had already sat up, and he was a little excited.

He doesn't have the slightest feeling that the country does not perish. What is the difference between perishing and not perishing in this country? Anyway, it's going to be hard to survive, what's wrong with merging with Germany? At least, life is stronger than it is now!

Moreover, Germany is also Germanic, and it is the same nation as itself!

"Boom, boom." At this moment, a huge roar sounded one after another in the distance.

what sound?

Could it be that the German army has come?

Go out and see! The old man hurriedly got off the bed and greeted his wife: "Go, take a look! By the way, pick up the eggs at home!"

The old man put on his rotten shoes that had been worn for three years, with a big hole on them, and walked out.

At this time, there were more and more people on the street outside. They looked at the distance, a motorcade was slowly moving over.

This is a tank unit, the headlights of the tanks are dazzling, mighty and majestic!

On the turret of the tank, half of the tank's body was exposed. They were wearing handsome SS uniforms, and their eyes were filled with joy.

"Master, there are a lot of people in front!" Guderian's tank was in the middle. At this time, he also showed half of his body, looked into the distance, and listened to the gunner shouting beside him.

so many people! However, it can be seen that these people are not hostile.

"Attention, stay friendly." Guderian took the radio and gave orders to the whole division.

Stay friendly!

The tankers in front slowed down, for fear of accidentally scratching one. They could see that the villagers in the mountainous area here were watching their arrival with great joy.

An old man, holding a basket of eggs, was shouting in the crowd: "Our army is back, do you eat eggs?"

The tanker shouted to these people: "Our compatriots, it is very nice to see you, please don't get in the way, we have a mission, we are going to Vienna, thank you for your eggs!"

Don't get in the way, at night, you can't see clearly!

Guderian's tank drove past these simple farmers. He looked at the cheering people, and his heart was full of high spirits. Just like when he marched into the Rhineland, the people of the Rhineland region cheered like this!

The news that the front had successfully crossed the border quickly reached the military headquarters. Hearing that the front was welcomed by the Austrian people, Bock was also extremely excited. Everything was exactly what General Cyric said!

The people of Austria are welcome.

"Let's go, together?" Cyric said to Bock.

Bock nodded. Now that the main force has been dispatched, it is time for them to leave.

Outside, a tall and mighty tank stayed there. In appearance, it was very similar to the Panther tank, but it looked slightly different.

Now, the army has been equipped with a considerable number of Leopard 2 tanks. Boke's third army has hundreds of them. Boke is also very familiar with this kind of tanks.

And now, the tank in front of me looks like it's bigger?

"This is our latest tank. Krupp completed the research and development a few months ago. This tank is just ready to come over for a long-distance driving test." Cyric said: "Let's go, go up."

The newest tank!

On the Spanish battlefield, the German Panther 1 and Panther 2 tanks have been exposed to the world, and the performance of these tanks has surpassed this era.

However, Cyric also knows that a weapon cannot always maintain an absolute advantage, it can only be continuously developed!

After several years of development, Krupp has solved all technical problems, such as the production of long-barreled tank guns, such as high-strength torsion bar systems, and now equipped with the army's Panther 2 tanks, anytime It can be upgraded to the level of the Black Panther 1 tank.

These are still not enough.

After the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet Union will also maintain a high degree of vigilance against these German tanks. Their T-26 is completely outdated, so, objectively, it will stimulate the design and finalization of the Soviet T-34 tank.

Even now that the Soviet Union has carried out a major purge and penetrated into the army, the research and development of new tanks continues.

According to the information received by the intelligence system, the tank, code-named A-32, has been tested in full swing, which is the Soviet 30-ton tank.

Germany's industrial advantage made Cyric believe that the Panther 1 tank was enough to fight the T-34 tank, which was improved from the A-32, and the long-barreled 75mm artillery had even better performance than the late T-34. The 85mm tank gun, meanwhile, the Panther's sloping armor is thick enough, but these are not enough.

Germany needs more advanced tanks to keep this advantage going!
