Chapter 64 (1/2)
Rhineland is a large territory on both sides of the Rhine River. These territories are owned by Germany! Now, Germany can only watch and can't control it!
In addition to the countryside, it is mainly Cologne, Koblenz, Frankfurt and Mainz.
Among them, the first city to occupy and one of the most important cities in Germany is Frankfurt!
Frankfurt means the ferry of the Franks, and the Franks are a branch of the Germanic nation.
It has a long history. It can be traced back to around the first year of AD. at that time, the Rhine and Danube were the northern border of the Roman Empire. The Romans set up garrison camps here, which became a border fortress.
In the 8th century, it gradually rose and became an important political stage in Germany.
For example, during the Holy Roman Empire, Frederick I, nicknamed Barbarosa, was elected emperor here.
Since 1562, Frankfurt has replaced Aachen as the venue for the emperor's coronation ceremony. Before and after that, 10 emperors were crowned here and ascended the throne.
The Holy Roman Empire officially ended in 1806, and then Frankfurt became the residence of the Rhine federal government.
It can be said that for the German people, Frankfurt has deep-rooted political significance!
At the same time, with the development of economy, Frankfurt has become a prosperous commercial city and the center of German exchanges and banks.
Now, the people of Frankfurt go to work and leave work normally every day, but they can't see their own country's army and the Flying Cross flag. Their hearts are extremely depressed.
Of course, they are all the people of Germany. They look forward to seeing the German army again one day!
In the early morning of that day, when it was just dawn, the workers who lived outside the city and were ready to go to work in the city rode bicycles and walked on the road, but then they wondered.
Behind them came the sound of a car!
In this era, bicycles are still the main means of transportation. Only the wealthiest people, companies and other institutions will have cars. At ordinary times, they can only see a few carriages at most.
When he stopped his bike and turned his head, he saw an unforgettable scene. Time seemed to be fixed here!
The army, the army of Germany!
The body of the car is dark green. In the cargo box at the back of the car, a German army in a straight military uniform is looking at the front with his head held high!
On his body, carrying a Mauser rifle, their heads, wearing a German military cap and a German flag, are flying!
Army, it's our army!
Everyone was shocked. A passer-by first shouted, ”it's our army, our army is back!”
His tone was pleasantly surprised and his tone was cheerful. Then he shouted loudly, ”long live Germany! Long live the defence forces! ”
All the people burst out one wave after another!
It's really shocking. After waiting for several years, finally, the German army moved into Rhineland!
Welcome to Frankfurt!
Sitting in the cab in front of the car, Shrek looked at the carnival crowd around, and his heart fluctuated constantly.
