Chapter 246: Operation Otto Begins
"Schuschnigg, what are you going to do?" Just outside the radio room of the Chancellery, Schuschnigg and Seth were once again unexpectedly encountered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seth has been waiting for it!
Seeing Seth, Schuschnigg's face was ugly, and his voice was a little low: "I want to announce to the whole country that we will not resist, and I will also resign as prime minister." ”
Hearing this, Seth was overjoyed, and he followed Schuschnigg into the radio room.
Schuschnigg calmed down and sat down in front of the microphone.
"Hello everyone, I'm Chancellor Schuschnigg, and now, I'm broadcasting a shameful message to everyone." Schuschnigg said: "Barbarian Germany wants to conquer us by force. ”
Seth's hand is almost on the pistol, and if Schuschnigg dares to talk nonsense, he will kill Schuschnigg here!
"President Miklas wants me to convey to all the Austrian people that we have yielded to force. For, no matter what the circumstances, even at the last moment, we should have no intention of shedding the blood of the Germanic peoples. ”
Hearing this, Seth can be regarded as putting down his hand, and he can be regarded as acquaintance!
"We have instructed our land forces to retreat without a fight in the event of an invasion and remain on standby. I now announce my resignation from the post of Chancellor of Austria. Before I say my final goodbye, I would like to make a wish to God - I hope that God will save Austria! ”
Putting down the microphone, Schuschnigg let out a long breath, no matter what, he would be nailed to the Austrian frame of shame, but at least for now, Schuschnigg would not be embarrassed by him!
Of course! After hearing Schuschnigg's announcement, Seth was so excited that he immediately ran to the telephone and dialed directly into the Eagle's Nest.
"Hey, I'm Ciric." At this time, Ciric happened to be near the telephone, and he picked up the phone and heard the voice inside.
"General Shirek, I have good news for you, the Austrian government has been disbanded and the Austrian Wehrmacht has been asked to prohibit resistance to the Germans." Seth said.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ciric's face, and he continued: "However, you still haven't been appointed as prime minister, have you? ”
The expression on Seston's face froze, and he said hesitantly: "The president has not yet made up his mind, and we are doing the job of the president at the moment." ”
Ciric shook his head: "Seth, you have disappointed us so much, the Führer is already impatient. You tell the President at once that you are now in charge, and that if he does not appoint you, the German army will immediately move into Austria, and that you will pass the word on to the heads of the Austrian departments, and whoever dares to organize resistance to the Germans will be tried by our courts. ”
With that, Ciric hung up the phone.
Hitler, who was on the side, slapped his thigh violently: "These political fools who don't see the coffin and don't shed tears, I can't wait, now, let's act!" ”
General Brauchitsch on the side, his face turned white.
"Führer, I request to personally direct this operation." Cirek said to Hitler.
In this great moment, how can you be without your own figure! Ciric's self-nomination this time was carried out with a great personal factor, he wanted to write more of his name in this history, and at the same time, he also wanted to go to Vienna to see.
What's more, Ciric hadn't had much contact with General Bock before, and this was an opportunity.
"Okay, Shirek, I now appoint you as the commander-in-chief of Operation Otto, and the 3rd Army and the 1st Panzer Division are under your command!" Hitler was very satisfied with Ciric's proposal, and in every action, Ciric rushed to the front! Don't let it go!
On the border of Germany and Austria, the Great Army, has long been waiting here.
Tanks were refueled and ready to go, and they had been in a state of being ready to go since the daytime, and now, although they had been in good spirits for more than ten hours.
Especially the 1st Armored Division, they haven't had enough of the last battle, and this time, it's a good opportunity again!
In the small town of Passau, in the temporary headquarters, a thin officer was constantly watching in front of the map.
Attacking Austria, but trying to be as friendly as possible, what if they stop you? What happens when bloodshed ensues?
He knew that they had too many accidents in this attack. After all, Austria on the other side is also Germanic!
"It's a pleasure to meet you, General Bock." At this moment, a young man pushed open the door and walked in, although he was young, he had a mature and steady face on his face, he was young, and now there was only one person who carried the rank of lieutenant general, and with the characteristic handsome SS uniform, there was no other possibility.
"General Ciric?" Bock was surprised.
"By order of the Führer, I am in charge of the entire Otto operation." "Now," said Ciric, "give the order to march at once. ”
Bock gave a military salute to Ciric, his eyes full of respect.
The arrival of Ciric solved the big trouble that Bock was experiencing.
What if there is a conflict? At that time, Bock, as the commander-in-chief of the group army, will definitely be responsible, but now, the arrival of Ciric, although he has taken over the power, is equivalent to taking over the obligation.
Ciric returned the military salute, and he said solemnly to Bock: "This step, we will finally take it, and at the same time, this is also our first step, we still have a long way to go in the future, General Bock, I hope we can go on together." ”
Ciric's hand was clasped with the other party.
Germany was defeated in World War II, but the high quality of German officers still won the respect of the whole world.
And General Bock in front of him is an outstanding representative of the German military.
Fedor von Bock was born on December 3, 1880 in Kusterling, Brandenburg, into a military family. His great-grandfather and grandfather were both soldiers, his father was promoted to the rank of general, and his mother was also from a famous sword noble.
Under this family, he aspired to become a real soldier from an early age, and studied at the Grosslichtfeld Military Academy and then the Potsdam Military Academy.
Bock's personality is special, he is serious, arrogant, stubborn, and old-fashioned, but at the same time he has a strong will, a tenacious enterprising spirit, and exuberant energy.
Bock fought in World War I, served as a staff officer, and was awarded the highest German War Order.
After World War I, he remained in the 100,000-strong army and is now commander-in-chief of the Third Army in Dresden. Now, the main force of the offensive is the Third Army.
"The 1st SS Panzer Division is the first to strike, General Bock, do you have any opinion?" Ciric asked.
Bock shook his head, when the First Armored Division was deployed, Bock also planned to let the First Armored Division dispatch first, the impact ability of this armored division was too strong, and it would definitely be able to rush to Vienna as soon as possible.
"What if we encounter resistance along the way?" Bock asked this most important question.
"No, the Austrian people will welcome us." Ciric said, after speaking, he looked at the uneasy Bock: "If there is really a person who doesn't have long eyes, take off his pants, and the two of us, each beat half of his ass, what do you think?" ”
