Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng saw the miserable, crazy, old and trembling Hitler on the sky screen.

I couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, all the time.

Although Ying Zheng admired the German army during World War II, their strong performance and strict discipline.

And feel the German military buildup.

Including Prussia's military construction.

It has a certain degree of similarity with the Qin Dynasty.

But as for Hitler himself.

Ying Zheng didn't like it very much.

In Ying Zheng's view, Hitler was nothing more than an ambitious man who rose from the streets and was good for nothing except his ability to arouse people's hearts.

In addition, Ying Zheng was the monarch passed down from generation to generation in the Qin Dynasty.

It is natural that they cannot tolerate conspirators like Hitler who almost usurped power.

But when he saw this, Ying Zheng could only speak in a flat tone.

At the same time, he said with some sighs:

"Well, the once-powerful Hitler and his once-powerful German Empire will both meet their end."

"His final choice was the right one."

"Dedicate yourself to your country."

"Even though he is a villain, the greatest evil in human history."

"But being able to devote his life to the country was the last correct decision he made."

After saying that, Ying Zheng slowly sat down.

But my heart was heavy as I recalled the topic that had once appeared on Tianmu.

That is, if I live 10 or 20 years longer, will the Qin Dynasty still perish in the second generation?

Even death in this life!
At that time, many people answered that if they lived a few more years, the Qin Dynasty would perish in this lifetime.

These answers once made Ying Zheng angry.

But looking back, Ying Zheng had already made up his mind:

Even if the Qin Dynasty really perishes in this lifetime.

When the empire collapsed, he, the great Qin Shi Huang, must be buried with the empire.

Never live a life of compromise!

……

Within the sky.

[On the other side of the city, the Soviet offensive became increasingly fierce. ]

[Konev's 1st Ukrainian Front broke into the city from the south and formed a siege with Zhukov's troops.]

[The German defense line was continuously compressed, and the remaining troops were forced to retreat to the city center. ]

[Around the Reichstag, the German army concentrated its last elite forces and tried to make a final resistance. ]

[On April 4, the Soviet Third Shock Army approached the last symbol of the Third Reich - the Reichstag.]

[This dilapidated building housed 2000 SS and Hitler Youth members.]

[They blocked the stairs with machine guns, threw Molotov cocktails from the dome, and even piled up Soviet corpses to form a bunker.]

[In the early morning of April 4, the Soviet army launched a general attack on the Reichstag.]

[The Soviet soldiers braved the hail of German bullets, rushed across the wide square and charged towards the Capitol.]

[The Germans set up dense fire points at the entrances and windows of the building, and the Soviets had to pay a huge price for every step forward.]

[But the Soviet soldiers did not flinch. They used their flesh and blood to break through the German defense line and eventually broke into the Capitol.]

[Inside the building, the two sides engaged in a fierce close combat.]

[In the stairwells and corridors, there were fights everywhere. ]

[The German army took advantage of the dark environment and complex building structures to put up a tenacious resistance.]

【But the Soviet army gradually gained the upper hand. 】

[After several hours of fierce fighting, in the early morning of the 30th, Sergeant Yegorov and Corporal Kantaria planted the red flag on the dome of the building - this staged photo later became one of the most famous images of World War II.]

[But raising the flag does not mean the battle for the Capitol is over.]

[In fact, the battle lasted until May 5, and in the basement of the building, the sound of German officers committing suicide with Luger pistols could be heard one after another. Zhukov admitted in his report to Stalin: "The cost of occupying the Reichstag was the lives of 1 Red Army soldiers."]

[This moment marks the end of the Battle of Berlin.]

[Hitler was completely desperate after learning that the Reichstag had fallen.]

[On April 4, he learned that the Allies had executed Mussolini and his body was hung upside down in a Milan square.]

[The next day, Hitler married his mistress Eva Braun.]

[He also dictated his will and announced the expulsion of the traitors Goering and Himmler from the party.]

【Dönitz succeeded as German head of state.】

[Until this time, Hitler was still fantasizing that the so-called German nation would eventually be revived.]

[Late that night, Hitler confirmed at the final military meeting that Wenck's 12th Army could not arrive.]

【The final falsehood also vanished into thin air. 】

[At 4:30 p.m. on April 3, Hitler pulled the trigger on her temple, and Eva committed suicide by taking poison.]

[The guard officer recalled: "The Führer's body was wrapped in a blanket, doused with gasoline and burned. The flame was too small, so we had to light it repeatedly."]

[At the other end of the bunker, Nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels was writing his last diary on a typewriter:]

[“The Führer is dead, we follow his choice.”]

[He then poisoned his six children and committed suicide along with his wife.]

[The sound of suicide gunfire continued in the bunker.]

[Hitler, Goebbels, Krebs, Burgdorff and others committed suicide one after another. ]

[Officials, soldiers, and employees at all levels swallowed guns after revelry and drunkenness.]

[The collective madness in the Nazi bunker reached its peak on this day.]

……

《Go Dimitri! Go!》

"Hitler finally died on the front line."

"If you sit still in Berlin, the front line will automatically approach, right?"

"In the Battle of the Vistula, the Soviets fired 45 shells in half an hour. How can we win?" "Before that, Model also shot himself in the forest in the Ruhr area."

《My honor is loyalty!》

《That’s enough for the German stick! 》

"Working with a 45-year-old mustache is really frustrating to think about."

"In the Berlin bunker, there were few normal people left in the end. Guderian held the fort in the early stage, and Heinrich held the fort in the later stage."

"Guderian's dismissal is actually a good thing. If he stays in Berlin, he will inevitably become a member of "the three of us." "

"The Führer's last straw was Steiner, but then Steiner didn't have enough troops."

"If only Steiner could go on the offensive, everything would be fine?"

《Getting better is a hammer! 》

"Steiner has only three battalions under his command. It would be difficult to defeat a regiment, let alone a division."

"Why aren't the 40 elite German troops in Norway transferred back?"

"Reich Marshal Goering finally wanted to proclaim himself the Führer, but Goebbels was his real die-hard fan."

"The mustache attaches great importance to Himmler. He believes that even if Goebbels betrays, Himmler will never betray."

"The Reich Marshal and the SS chief have both betrayed me. That'swhyI am so angry!"

"It's a pity that this demon committed suicide and escaped trial."

……

【Hitler, the greatest evil in human history. 】

【Ended his sinful life. 】

[Hitler's death was like a death knell, announcing the demise of Nazi Germany.]

[On the morning of May 5, General Weidling, commander of the Berlin garrison, signed a surrender order, which was broadcast throughout the city.]

[But some SS troops still refused to lay down their arms.]

[The Nordic volunteers of the SS "Nordland" Division continued to fight to the death in the Charlottenburg area until their ammunition ran out on May 5.]

【The Battle of Berlin ended with the victory of the Soviet army. 】

【At the same time, Marshal Dönitz announced his succession to the German head of state in Flensburg, attempting to surrender alone to the Western Allies. 】

[Also said Germany would cooperate with the Western Allies against the Bolsheviks.]

[But Eisenhower would naturally disagree. ]

[The Allies took a tough stance: "Germany must surrender unconditionally to all Allies!"]

[Late at night on May 5, Field Marshal Keitel signed the surrender document at the Karlshorst Military Academy in Berlin.]

[As the pen tip moved across the paper, cheers from Soviet soldiers could be heard outside the window.]

[The sound of gunfire that had lasted for five years on the European battlefield finally fell silent.]

【The Battle of Berlin, the final battle in Europe, ended.】

[The statistics are shocking.]

[The Soviet army suffered 30.4 casualties and 48 German soldiers were captured.]

[90% of Berlin's buildings were destroyed. When citizens dug up the bodies of their loved ones in the ruins, they also had to face the Soviet army's retaliatory looting.]

【This was the "price of war" that Stalin tacitly approved. 】

[The end of the Battle of Berlin not only marked the demise of Nazi Germany, but also brought a heavy end to World War II on the European battlefield.]

[The Soviet Red Army suffered 2960 million casualties, and 1740 million Soviet civilians died in the war. The number of civilian injuries is even more difficult to count.]

【However, the survival rate of men born after the 20s, including those with disabilities, is only 20%. 】

[The German army suffered 1180 million casualties, and 220 million civilians died in the war.]

【The sky of Berlin after the war. 】

[White doves fly over the wreckage of the Capitol.]

[The cities beneath their wings would continue to be the front lines of the Cold War for the next forty years.]

[But no matter what, at dawn in May 1945, mankind finally glimpsed a glimmer of peace from the darkest tunnel.]

Outside the sky.

Early Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang leaned back in his recliner, squinting his eyes at the scene of artillery fire on the sky, and sighed: "The fierceness of the attack and defense of Berlin City is rare in ancient and modern times."

"And Hitler was defeated even more miserably than Xiang Yu."

"At least Xiang Yu was able to commit suicide by slashing his throat at the Wujiang River, leaving behind a name as a hero. But this leader was at his wits' end, hiding underground and shooting people. In the end, he couldn't even keep his body intact."

Lü Zhi, who was watching from the side, suddenly said, "Hitler's level is indeed not good enough. Your Majesty at least knows when to run and when to coax people."

Liu Bang was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether Lu Zhi was praising him or making fun of him. He could only laugh and said, "That's right! Surviving is a real skill!"

And in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the red flag of the Capitol on the sky.

“This flag-raising photo is truly a classic.”

“And the Battle of Berlin was indeed brutal.”

Li Shimin looked at the sky and the barrage, thinking and reflecting on himself.

"Although the Soviet army won, it was paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"However, Hitler had lost his mind. How could he rule the world? His stubbornness and refusal to accept advice led to the collapse of his three armies and the fall of the capital. This is a warning to other rulers."

"A ruler should listen to all sides and then he will be wise."

"If you insist on doing things your own way, even if you have powerful soldiers and generals, you will eventually be destroyed."

"Think about how powerful Germany was during World War II?"

"It ended up like this."

"However, when Hitler was dying, he even dragged the elderly, the weak, women and children to fill the line. This is truly the behavior of a beast."

"When I die, I will drag the whole country with me to be buried with me."

"Maybe that's why Tianmu said Hitler is the greatest evil in history?"

"In any case, the destruction of the evil Nazi Germany is a great thing for the world."

"but……"

Li Shimin pondered over Tianmu's last few words.

“Berlin is still the front line after the war?”

"Just the Cold War front?"

"What kind of war is this Cold War?" (End of this chapter)
