Chapter 444: The ace of World War II is actually a street urchin?
tomorrow.

Qi Jiguang looked at it seriously, but also felt a little confused.

"Tianmu introduced that the criteria for selecting SS members are indeed strict."

"Select the best and train them."

"The troops selected in this way will naturally be very powerful in combat."

"I can understand."

“But why did Guderian and other Wehrmacht leaders give such a low opinion of the Death’s Head Division?”

"I am very clear about Guderian's level. He can make such an evaluation."

Qi Jiguang recalled the battle record of Guderian that he had introduced before. It was so magnificent and terrifying.

They would easily surround and annihilate hundreds of thousands of people.

Qi Jiguang was also very envious when he saw this.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang knew that his evaluation of Guderian must be reasonable.

"That means the Skeleton Division is really bad."

"Is it true that the conflict between the Wehrmacht and the SS led Guderian to deliberately smear the army?"

Qi Jiguang took notes.

Records the process of selecting members.

At the same time, I also became more curious about the Skeleton Division.

[To put it simply, Ike was on the cusp of the trend. ]

[Because Ike has a large, fanatical and loyal army in his hands. ]

【But compared to the other carefully selected ones, it’s like the SS who got into Tsinghua University. 】

[Ike's troops seem out of place.]

[Due to Ike's background and experience, the soldiers he led had very distinct personal characteristics.]

[At the beginning, Ike's mission was to guard a concentration camp. ]

[This is because after Hitler came to power, he arrested too many people across the country.]

[A large number of new concentration camps must be built.]

[The so-called concentration camps are actually prisons for specific criminals. ]

[At that time, concentration camps had not yet developed into the horrors they later became.]

【But after Ike arrived, everything changed. 】

[The concentration camp he managed turned into a terrifying execution ground.]

[Ike personally arranged for all kinds of cruel punishments and killings to be carried out on the prisoners in the concentration camp.]

To intensify this fear,

[Ike also continued to strengthen the armed forces in his hands. ]

[Ike began recruiting people on a large scale.]

[Because Ike himself is a street thug. ]

[So most of the people he recruited were so-called second-rate people and street urchins.]

[What if you said you had a college degree and wanted to join Ike's concentration camp guards?]

[I'm sorry, you are too educated and too smart to be controlled.]

[Ike recruits second-rate people, street urchins, street thugs and illiterates.]

[People recruited in this way naturally have very bad work styles. ]

[Soon, Ike's men gathered a group of simple-minded but fierce players.]

【In Germany, where education was most comprehensive at the time. 】

[In this army of several thousand people, there is not a single person with a university degree in the entire group.]

[But as their leader, Ike felt that the SS was made up of hooligans. ]

【On the contrary, it is more convenient to use. 】

[In Ike's team, you don't have to understand any knowledge or any ideas. ]

[You just need to be fierce and cruel, and remember to raise your right hand at all times. ]

[By 1936, Ike had gathered nearly 4000 of his carefully selected second-rate troops.]

[All of them are extremely poorly disciplined and ruthless. ]

[This is also the predecessor of the SS Death's Head Division. ]

[Although this unit has a bad reputation and its members do not seem strong, many national defense forces look down on them. ]

【but……】

【This troop is very loyal! 】

[Their loyalty is absolute.] [They only obey Himmler, which means they only obey Hitler.]

[Although these two units are looked down upon by outsiders, they are very convenient for internal leaders to use.]

[Himmler was even more delighted.]

[So they were officially reorganized and renamed the Skull Corps in 1936. ]

[This is what later became the Skeleton Division.]

[At this time, Ike had more than 3000 people, divided into 6 teams, stationed in various concentration camps. ]

[After the formal military organization was established, the size of the SS Division was further expanded. ]

[A year later, there were three regiments of troops.]

[With more in hand, Eike also wanted to upgrade his weapon, so he asked Himmler to give him some real hard stuff. ]

【Build a mechanized force. 】

[Himmler was happy to strengthen this unit that obeyed his orders, so he carried out a large-scale upgrade of the SS Division. ]

【The army has achieved preliminary mechanization.】

[The Skull Division is also recruiting hooligans across the country. ]

【The number of people exceeded 2.】

……

Outside the sky.

Ying Zheng frowned.

What kind of army is this?
If it were in the Qin Dynasty, wouldn't this be equivalent to an army composed of slaves?
The combat effectiveness of an army composed of such a composition is completely unacceptable!
Even if they were really asked to go to the battlefield.

There is a high chance of side effects.

Ying Zheng said disdainfully:

"You said that Germany in later generations was also a world-class power during World War II."

"The Germans also know how to fight, and they are very good at it."

"Why use such people as an army?"

"Can a group of people who dare to fight privately become successful?"

"It seems that Hitler has never studied Chinese history and does not know the story of the Battle of Muye and the slave army of the Shang Dynasty turning against the Chinese."

"Let this bunch of scum, the SS Death's Head Division, fight a big, tough battle."

"It will only have the opposite effect!"

"Do you think so?"

Although Ying Zheng was asking.

But in fact, Ying Zheng's fate has already been decided.

The people below naturally nodded in agreement.

But in fact, Zhang Han at the scene had a different opinion in his mind.

Zhang Han thought.

Although the members of the SS Division did not have a high social status in Germany.

But they have been brave and aggressive since childhood.

It is not good for the stability of the country to have such people.

But in times of war, this is not necessarily the case.

In Zhang Han's view, these brave and aggressive people are factors of social instability.

It’s actually very good raw material.

It just needs guidance and direction.

Then you can exert very strong combat effectiveness!
Even if they were as His Majesty the Emperor said: if they were placed in the Qin Dynasty, they would be equivalent to an army composed of slaves.

But what about the slave army?
Just command them well and give them the right equipment and supplies.

The most important thing is to give them hope.

Even the slave army can display combat effectiveness that is no less than that of the regular army!

In particular, there were too many slaves in the Qin Dynasty, and many of them were not actually slaves since childhood.

But they were prisoners of war captured from the six countries.

They are soldiers!

All they need is training and arming, and they will become an elite force!

This respect is somewhat similar to the Skeleton Division on the sky.
