The Rise of the Third Reich

Of course, the "British Empire" will not forget to make things difficult for the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. While attending a high command meeting in Berlin to discuss the specific strategy for implementing a general war, Marshal Hessmann agreed to the proposal proposed by Interior Minister Himmler (actually It was Hitler's suggestion) to provide weapons and equipment to Afghanistan in the name of British intelligence services. Hersman then gave the plan a very British codename "Project 007".

Therefore, the "British Empire" will soon provide weapons and equipment to the Afghan holy warriors who are preparing to rise up against the Soviet invaders.

The person assigned to implement this "007 plan" was Val T. Schellenberg, who designed to rescue Professor Weizmann, the leader of the Zionist movement, from the British. Hirschmann also gave Val T. Schellenberg a pseudonym, which was the famous James Bond.

Moreover, Hirschman also prepared several "low-tech" weapons for Mr. "007". Of course, they were not for Mr. "007" to use himself, but to provide them to the YSL Saints in Afghanistan.

When Val T. Schellenberg walked into Hersmann's office at the General Staff in Zossenda, Hersmann was talking to Lieutenant General Tipelskich, director of the Army Weapons Directorate of the General Staff.

Colonel Schnetz walked in with Colonel Val T. Schellenberg, who was wearing a navy uniform.

"Marshal, Colonel Schellenberg is here." He introduced Schellenberg to Hessmann, and then turned around and left.

"Marshal, Lieutenant General." Schellenberg gave a military salute to the two people in the office, and then stood still waiting for orders.

"Sit down." Hersman raised his hand and pointed to an empty chair opposite the desk.

Colonel Schellenberg sat down on the chair. Only then did he notice that there were several sketches and photos on the desk. The contents on them were strange and he didn't know what they were.

"Colonel, has General Canaris told you?" Hersman asked with a smile, seemingly in a good mood.

"The general has already told me." Schellenberg glanced at Lieutenant General Tipelskich. He was not sure whether the head of the Army Ordnance Bureau knew his mission.

"You have taken on a very difficult mission," Hersman said. "Do you think the Afghans can entangle the Soviet Union with your help?"

Schellenberg pondered for a while and replied: "Marshal, I'm not sure about the definition of entanglement. I think you mean to turn Afghanistan into a wound that can continue to bleed the Soviet Union, and at the same time contain another 100,000 or 200,000 Red Army troops, right? "

"Can it be done?" Hersman asked.

"It's difficult," said Val T. Schellenberg. "Marshal, I am a naval officer after all."

Hersman turned to look at Lieutenant General Tipelskich and said with a smile: "Kurt, he has the same opinion as you."

Tipelskich shrugged and said: "Our small actions cannot change the balance of strength and weakness on the Afghan battlefield. If the Soviet Red Army is to fail in Afghanistan, it must send troops to join the war."

"But all we can do now is some small actions, and don't think about joining the war." Hersman shook his head, then picked up a photo and handed it to Schellenberg.

Schellenberg took the photo and took a look. It looked like a round hammer. He didn't know what it was used for.

"This is the British No. 74 anti-tank grenade." Hersman said, "The inner layer of this ball is a glass ball filled with nitroglycerin, and the outside is wrapped with elastic fabric. The outer layer of the fabric is also coated with some birdlime. When using it, grab the wooden handle and hit it hard on the tank, smash the glass ball and let the nitroglycerin pour on the armor surface. You can also throw it at the tank from a distance, but be careful when throwing it. Things can easily stick to the user’s clothing.”

"It sounds like... it sounds bad," commented Val T. Schellenberg.

"They are indeed very bad things," Hersman shook his head. "The British air-dropped them to France to support the so-called resistance movement. But most of them fell into the hands of the Pétain government. I think this kind of grenade can be used Tanks used against the Soviets."

Hirschman picked up another sketch drawn on paper and handed it to Val T. Schellenberg. The sketch seemed to be a vest and some Ray Gs.

"This is a bomb vest," Hersman said.

"Bomb... vest?" Schellenberg was stunned. He really couldn't imagine that bombs and vests could be combined together.

"Put it on, sneak up on the enemy, then pull the string...boom!"

Schellenberg's eyes widened, he looked at Hessmann and asked: "Marshal... So what if the person wearing this bomb vest escapes?"

"Leave? Why leave?"

"If you don't leave? Wouldn't that mean...perish together?"

"That's right, we will die together!" Hessman said with a smile, "There was a bang, and then we went to heaven to see Allah."

"This...this, was this designed by the British?" Schellenberg asked in disbelief.

"No, the British don't have the guts." Hersman replied, "I designed this specifically for the Afghans."

This is a special vest for Saints. Wearing it can go straight to heaven...

"But the blame has to be placed on the British," Hessman smiled. "It's called the Churchill Bomb Vest."

The name is quite good! Schellenberg thought to himself: It would be great if Churchill could wear it.

"Then there's this," Hersman handed another photo to Val T. Schellenberg. "This is a detachment anti-tank weapon that is not yet equipped, called the 'Iron Fist' anti-tank rocket launcher. It is specially designed to deal with the large number of tanks of the Soviet Red Army.”

Hessman asked the Army Weapons Bureau to organize arms companies to develop this anti-tank weapon used by infantry before the outbreak of the world war. There were several samples already before the Western Front campaign, but Hessmann did not immediately equip the troops. Because the German armored forces still had great advantages at that time, there was no need to expose this cheap anti-tank weapon.

But the situation is different now. The enemies Germany will face, whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, have a larger torrent of tanks than Germany. Therefore, it has become a top priority for the German infantry to have squad-level anti-tank weapons.

"Although this weapon was invented by us, the 'Iron Fist' given to you to take to Afghanistan will be disguised as British arms." Hersman said, "In addition, this weapon will not be handed over to you immediately. It will have to wait until Afghanistan. Only when people’s resistance movement becomes a climate can we be sent to them for use.”

No. 74 anti-tank grenade, "Churchill" bomb vest (also known as bomb vest) and "Iron Fist" anti-tank rocket launcher, together, later became the "three low weapons" combination in the hands of the Afghan saints in the 1940s. Know how many lives of Bolshevik soldiers were killed. However, it is unlikely that the Holy Warriors of Afghanistan will become victors because of these weapons. After all, their current opponent is Stalin!

Stalin did not take the Afghans to heart at all at this time. Although he also knew that the British were defeated by the Afghans three times in history, but that only meant that the British were useless! The Afghans' guerrilla warfare can only deal with the useless British. If replaced by the great Soviet Red Army and Cheka fighters, it will have no effect.

But what really worried Stalin was the terrifying German Superman!

Just as the Soviet Red Army slowly advanced into the hinterland of Afghanistan, the Germans once again easily won a "battle of national destruction". The resistance of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia collapsed within days of the German attack! King Peter II of Yugoslavia surrendered after the German army invaded Belgrade, removed the resistance leader Dusan Simovich from all posts, appointed the pro-German general Milan Nedic as prime minister, and also signed a peace that was humiliating and humiliating the country. The agreement ceded the entire Vojvodina to the Kingdom of Hungary and Croatia, and ceded Montenegro to Italy. It also lost most of Macedonia (to Bulgaria), leaving only Serbia and most of Bosnia.

After pacifying Yugoslavia, only the small peninsula of Gibraltar was left on the European continent to resist Germany. However, Gibraltar's resistance could not last long. Stalin received quite certain news from the Third International that Franco would soon defect to Germany and join the war!

As long as Spain enters the war, Gibraltar will definitely not be able to hold it, and the fall of Gibraltar means that the French and Italian navies will soon be able to rush out of the Mediterranean, and then Britain will face an existential crisis.

If the Royal Navy fails again in the Atlantic and English Channel, then Britain is very likely to surrender! After Britain surrenders, the Soviet Union will become the only country in Europe that has not been conquered by Germany...

Moreover, once Britain surrendered, the United States would also lose the springboard to send troops to Europe. In this way, there is no possibility of "the United States goes first and the Soviet Union covers it." The Soviet Union is very likely to face the dangerous situation of a one-on-one war with Germany!

"So what needs to be avoided now is the surrender of Britain." Stalin held a pipe in his hand and paced back and forth in a large office, while Molotov and Voroshilov stood respectfully aside.

Stalin said: "If Britain does not surrender, Germany will have to launch a cross-sea operation. Considering the number of troops currently owned by Britain, the Germans will probably have to dispatch two million of their most elite troops. This will be an opportunity for the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. So we must Give the British some encouragement and give them the confidence to resist."

The great leader of the Soviet Union paused, as if thinking about countermeasures, and then said after a while: "We should not regard Germany's invasion of Yugoslavia as a just war, it is a war of aggression! Therefore, we will withdraw from the German-led League of Nations, And we will suspend oil exports to Germany from January next year.”
