However, Mainz did not disband the 2 million troops that have been recruited! It would be a waste if the army that has been expanded with great difficulty was disbanded like this.
And it is not a big problem to feed these troops. After all, Mainz has a steady stream of money from North America.
Mainz intends to transform and reorganize the 2 million German troops on the existing basis.
He decided to organize these 2 million troops into 7 army groups, each with 5 armies, including 2-3 infantry armies, 1-2 mechanized or motorized light armored armies, an armored army, and an independent mountain infantry division, with a total force of about 350,000 fixed establishment.
This kind of organization was the main force of the German army group during World War II.
Take the Sixth Army Group that was completely wiped out in the Battle of Stalingrad as an example.
This army, known as the main army group of the Southern Army Group, had a full complement of 350,000 elite troops before Paulus buried it.
In the Battle of Stalingrad, this army was completely wiped out and Paulus surrendered, resulting in a huge vacancy of troops on the southern front of the German army, which caused the situation to deteriorate rapidly.
The German army had to shrink its defense line and give up a large area of land that had been occupied, especially the land of the Russians!
Later historical archives show that in 1943, the Russians had entered a period of exhaustion of human resources. More than a year of war and the casualties of tens of millions of soldiers almost exhausted the working-age population within the Russians. The Russians could no longer recruit enough troops to fight on the battlefield!
If the German army could hold on at this time and not give up the territory of the two Maozi easily, then the Mao Bear, who could not get the supplement of more than 30 million people in this elite area, might not be able to continue to exert strong pressure on the German army. In this way, the situation on the Eastern Front might still turn around!
This is why the Battle of Stalingrad is called the turning point of World War II!
Although the Sixth Army was completely annihilated, the combat effectiveness of this army is unquestionable, and their organization Mainz felt that it was more reasonable, so he adopted this organization.
Of course, if according to the standard he has divided now, the combat effectiveness of these seven armies is still a little weak. The main reason is that each army has only one armored army, and most of the armored armies of the army are currently lacking equipment. The German army needs a brand new tank to meet the needs of the troops! The tractor tanks they used in the German-Polish War have completed their mission at this time and can gradually withdraw from the stage of history.
Since there are no restrictions on the Treaty of Versailles at this time, the German army naturally needs to develop a real tank for training and combat!
...
In May 1923, Rheinmetall produced a brand new light tank that caught the attention of the Allied intelligence department.
After the Allied Arms Control Commission learned about it, they immediately rushed to Rheinmetall, intending to enter Rheinmetall for an in-depth investigation!
However, just as they arrived at Rheinmetall, a German army with live ammunition also rushed over and surrounded the Allied Arms Control Commission members.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"
Seeing the murderous German soldiers, the members of the Allied Arms Control Committee suddenly felt uneasy. Although they mustered up the courage to show their former momentum and tried to overwhelm the German army, their timid words not only failed to achieve any effect, but also met with the ridicule of the German army!
Before the outbreak of the German-Polish War, Mainz had threatened to withdraw from the Treaty of Versailles, which made the members of the Allied Arms Control Committee in Hans very uneasy.
However, after the war ended, more than a month later, they did not take any clear action to restrict or expel the members of the Allied Arms Control Committee, which made the members of the Arms Control Committee bolder again.
This time, they got information from the informant and got Knowing that Rheinmetall seemed to be producing real tanks, they immediately took it seriously and rushed here.
However, after they arrived, before they could start investigating, the German army arrived!
The speed of the German army's arrival was so fast that the coalition forces felt as if they were being framed!
How could there be such a coincidence?
They had just arrived and got off the car, and the German troops rushed over!
Either the German army knew the intelligence in advance, or their actions were all under the surveillance of the German army!
But no matter which situation it was, it was not good news for them, because it meant that Hans' attitude towards them had changed from awe and fear to contempt and hostility!
"What? I want to ask you what you want to do?"
A young officer in black uniform got out of a dark green military jeep. Seeing the uniform on the other side, the people of the Allied Arms Control Committee suddenly felt a little uneasy!
The new German uniforms have been in place for two years, so the Allied forces stationed in Hans can basically recognize what these uniforms represent!
Black uniforms like this represent the SS directly under the German Commander-in-Chief Mainz. This army is extremely mysterious, but has great authority. Their duties are roughly equivalent to a complex of the secret police and MI6, and they have great power!
Any department related to intelligence is an awe-inspiring department, because they are often a group of ruthless and unscrupulous guys, and the most important thing is that their own power is unrestricted, so they can easily take anyone away for secret investigation and interrogation, and even convict and punish them!
Being targeted by this guy in black clothes is not good news!
"Do you know where this is?"
Heydrich got out of the car with a smile on his face, and glanced at the people from the Allied Arms Control Commission jokingly.
"This is Rheinmetall, one of the five heavily protected military-industrial enterprises in the empire. The area within one kilometer around such enterprises is strictly a military restricted area. No one is allowed to enter or leave here at will without relevant permission!"
Heydrich suddenly raised his voice and asked loudly:"Now you have two choices, either take out your entry and exit permits, or follow us obediently and accept our investigation!"
When the coalition forces heard Heydrich's words, their faces changed drastically!
They knew the names of the SS and the Gestapo. It is said that these people would not take action, but once they did, they would definitely use heavy hands. Those who were taken away by these people would never have a chance to come out alive!
"I, we are members of the Allied Joint Military Control Committee. Our duty is to monitor whether you, Hans, have violated the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles and whether you have produced prohibited weapons that are not permitted by the treaty. We have the right to investigate and visit anywhere in Hans. This is the power granted to us by the treaty. You must not interfere or obstruct us, otherwise, you will violate the treaty!"
""Pah!"
Heydrich slapped the speaker in the face and cursed:"The Treaty of Versailles? What kind of shit is that? Is it toilet paper? Haha, I don't know what you are talking about. I only know that you are in big trouble!"
"Come on, take them all away!"
