The Third Reich: I seized power

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, Roma is really too presumptuous, he is completely provoking you, this is absolutely unforgivable!” Herman Goering made a very angry look.

Hess glanced at him, and what was going on in Hermann Goering’s mind, he knew very well.

This guy wants to watch him and Roma fight, and then he profits from it.

The SA controlled by Engstrom has grown in power and has become a threat to other top echelons of the National Socialist Party.

What’s more, Engstrom is still a crazy guy, and no one knows what kind of crazy actions he will make in anger.

“No matter what, Enstrom is our comrade-in-arms. His stormtroopers are our most important force. In my heart, I very much want to appoint him as the chief of defense. However, we have to get the support of the military! Otherwise, we will soon be ousted. Hess said.

Hess was also very annoyed by Engstrom’s behavior today.

It’s no wonder that the historical Adolf finally raised his butcher’s knife to Engstrom.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Now we need to unite all forces and not have infighting. Paul Goebbels said from the sidelines.

“Bowman, help me make an appointment with General Seckert, I want to visit him tonight.”

“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!” Martin Bowman nodded.

General Hans von Seckert, although he had been removed from the post of commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht by Marshal Hindenburg.

However, as the father of the Wehrmacht, he had great influence in the Wehrmacht.

It can be said that the current Wehrmacht was formed by him.

After the defeat in World War I, according to the Treaty of Versailles, the Weimar army was reduced to 100,000 men.

In order to preserve as much military power as possible and at the same time preserve the hope of a future rise, General Hans von Seckert single-handedly led the construction of the Wehrmacht.

General Seckert developed a plan to rearm and restore morale, which allowed the Wehrmacht’s greatest strength, the officer corps, to be preserved and new tactical tactics to be developed.

The treaty stipulated that the number of Wehrmacht should not exceed 100,000, so the criteria set by General Seckert were: soldiers are in good health and have more than 12 years of service experience; Officers must have more than 25 years of military experience.

Once part of the National Defence Force, specialized training is undertaken, with a focus on leadership. He attached great importance to the individual skills and initiative of soldiers. The treaty forbade the Weimar state to have military academies, and he established a military education system built on troops for units at the level of the combined regiment, with every private trained to become a sergeant, every sergeant trained to become an officer, and every officer trained to become a general.

Exercises are conducted every six months to improve professional skills and professional quality. There are no tanks, anti-aircraft artillery, just imitations of cardboard and wood, and the Wehrmacht is perhaps the only army that practices air shooting with toy airplanes simulating real aircraft! During the exercise, the individual soldier should call himself a certain platoon, or represent an 8-man machine gun group.

This is why, before the outbreak of World War II, the Wehrmacht of the Third Reich was able to rapidly expand to several million troops. Moreover, the reason why the combat effectiveness is still very strong.

On the evening of January 30, 1933, Hess, who had just become prime minister, personally visited General Hans von Seckert.

He met not only General Seckert, but also the current power figures in the Wehrmacht, but also several others.

For example, General Bujmberg, General Brauchitsch, General Rundstedt and General Bock, among others.

Hess took a deep breath, he knew that the time had come to test him.

If you can get the support of these generals, it is equivalent to the support of the entire military.

Next, his power will be consolidated.

He was even able to make the country run according to his will.

Hess knew that these generals were arrogant, and as nobles, they simply did not look at this person who was just a corporal in World War I.

But these generals also have weaknesses.

They long for glory, for the whole country to rise again, for being able to defeat the enemy on the battlefield.

As long as Hess convinced them, he could lead them to victory.

Well, it is fairly easy to get their support.

“General Seckert, generals, good evening!”

In front of these soldiers, Hess did not have any shelves.

“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please sit down. I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time. I want to know, after you become prime minister, how do you plan to make our country strong? General Seckert looked at Hess with an inspecting face, did not go around in circles, and went straight to the point.
