Seeckt, a famous general in World War

I. After World War I, he assisted Marshal Hindenburg in establishing the Wehrmacht of the Weimar Republic. He was one of the founders of the Wehrmacht.

In the original history, General Seeckt was called the father of the Wehrmacht. The 100,000 Wehrmacht of the Weimar Republic can be said to have been created by him.

However, in this history, due to the rise of Mainz, General Seeckt’s contribution and influence in rebuilding the Wehrmacht were not as great as in history.

However, Mainz had seen the ability of this man. When the Odili War broke out in 1920, Seeckt had sent troops to Bavaria to back up Mainz. The two had worked together for a period of time, and he was very clear about General Seeckt’s ability.

This person is very good at training soldiers. He has experience in rebuilding the Hans Wehrmacht. I believe he can be competent to help the Celestial Empire train soldiers and build a strong army!

Moreover, Seeckt had performed brilliantly in World War I and had high attainments in strategy. He was very good at adapting to local conditions and putting forward some unique ideas based on different national conditions and different combat needs!

In addition, he had served as the Chief of Staff of the Turkish Army and had the status of Lieutenant General. Manstein’s proposal was really good!

“Well, Seeckt is indeed a suitable candidate!”

Falkenhausen is currently the principal of the Dresden Infantry School. He played a very important role in the military reform of the German army, so Mainz didn’t want to let him go.

In fact, it would be enough to recommend only one military adviser to the Celestial Empire, but Manstein recommended two. Mainz could naturally guess the intention behind this. Manstein

‘s meaning was actually very clear, that is, to send one of the two military advisers to the south to assist the National Government in forming a new army, and the other to the north to assist Zhang Zuolin’s Northeast Army and Northwest Army in military reform.

This is actually a way of betting on both sides. It can be predicted that these two people will be treated with great respect by the Celestial Empire after they arrive in the Celestial Empire. They will help Hans establish a deeper influence in the Celestial Empire, and may even affect the situation of the civil war and unification of the Celestial Empire.

As long as the Celestial Empire can win the War of Resistance Against Japan, the National Army in the South and the Northwest Army and Northeast Army in the North will definitely continue to have a civil war, and no one will let go easily. Abandon the power in hand.

In this case, both sides have Hans’ military advisers, and both want Hans’ support. They will certainly rush to sell the interests of the Celestial Empire to Hans in exchange for Hans’ support.

Therefore, if the Celestial Empire maintains a state of civil war, the Celestial Empire can gain greater benefits from the war!

Mainz didn’t know whether Manstein came up with this idea himself or someone else hinted at him.

But Mainz didn’t like his generals to come up with such conspiracies, especially his brother Manstein.

He hoped that Manstein could maintain his identity as a pure military strategist instead of developing in the direction of a dirty politician!

Hearing that Mainz did not mention Falkenhausen’s name, Manstein understood that Mainz seemed to have rejected his proposal.

Although he didn’t know why Mainz did not continue to implement the divide and rule method, since he decided so, Manstein didn’t think about it anymore and just executed it!

“Ask General Seeckt to come to my office. I have something to tell him before he leaves!”

Mainz told Secretary Baumann!

“Yes, Führer!”

Secretary Baumann quickly left the meeting room to carry out Mainz’s order!

“Okay, let’s continue discussing the battleship Nelson. Who do you think we should sell it to?”

Samba and the Celestial Empire were both rejected, so there are not many buyers left.

Siam in Southeast Asia is definitely not within everyone’s consideration. This country is too small and its influence is too weak to be worth winning over.

After excluding Siam, the only potential buyers left are Turkey and Russia!

Russia is the enemy of the future, and everyone certainly does not want to strengthen the strength of the Russian navy. That would simply make themselves uncomfortable, so most people tend to sell the Nelson to Turkey.

Turkey was Hans’ ally during World War I. Although this country was not very strong, it still had good backbone. Turkey was one of the few countries in the Allies that fought with Hans until the last moment and had to surrender because of the general trend.

Hans naturally has some feelings for such a loyal younger brother.

“Do you all think it should be sold to Tuji?”

Seeing the reactions of the crowd, Mainz was not surprised.

The relationship between Tuji and Hans was originally better than the relationship between Hans and Mao Xiong. In addition, Tuji has always been Hans’s younger brother and ally. The two countries have fought side by side. At this time, Tuji also actively expressed the idea of joining the European Union led by Hans. The leader of Tuji, Kemal, even hinted that they hope to join Hans and follow Hans to launch a war against Mao Xiong!

Tuji and Mao Xiong are sworn enemies. The two sides have fought for hundreds of years. It can be said that Mao Xiong, relying on his own strength, has beaten Tuji from the overlord of West Asia and the Mediterranean to the sick man of West Asia. The land area of the dead Tuji has shrunk significantly, and the world The status has dropped significantly!

Therefore, in the hearts of the chickens, the person they hate the most is the bear.

But the bear is much stronger than the chicken. During the civil war between the bears, the chickens were no match for the bears. Now the bears have been reunited, and they seem to be stronger than in the Tsarist era. Naturally, the chickens dare not provoke such bears alone!

Therefore, it is understandable that Kemore wants to hold Hans’ thighs and eat meat and drink soup with Hans!

Therefore, in the eyes of many Hans, strengthening the strength of the chickens is actually equivalent to strengthening their own strength, because when they attack the bears in the future, the chickens will definitely stand on their side and fight with them!

“Give Turkey a strong navy, and Turkey will be able to control the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus Straits, so that the Russian fleet in the Black Sea can be locked in the Black Sea, forming a situation of closing the door and beating the dog!”

Navy Commander Dönitz also stood up to support the sale of the Nelson and some other captured British warships to the Turkish people. The reason is also very sufficient. They hope that Turkey’s navy can help them close the southern gate of the Russian bear and turn the Russian Black Sea Fleet into a bathtub fleet!

But after talking for a long time, they saw that Mainz was slow to express his position.

They looked at each other, and they were all a little curious.

The head of state has not expressed his position. Does it mean that the head of state does not agree with what they said?

“I suggest that we should sell this battleship to the Russian bear!”
