January 1st, 1936. In a historic decision, Adolf Hitler announced his regrets over ever reinstating and expanding the Wehrmacht. The Chancellor apologized and completely and immediately disbanded the Wehrmacht. He furthermore suggests to the soldiers that they become ice sculptors or watercolor artists.
He also decided that the Luftwaffe should now consist of only one transport squadron, saying it should exist for “educational purposes only”. The Luftwaffe was renamed “Waffel”, which is German for “Waffle”. The remaining squadron command was renamed the Freundliches Geschwader (Friendly Squadron), the squadron itself was renamed Leichte Segelfleugzeuge (Gentle Gliders). The command was given to a former Mj. General named Bülowius, now a skill 0 Air Marshall. Sources close to the Chancellor quote Hitler saying that he chose Bülowius based on the difficulty of pronunciation. The fact that he only knew to pronounce the “w” as a “v”-sound, was reportedly a “good-sign”. Those sources also suggest that the Chancellor is “concerned and alarmed” over a “tank busting” skill that Bülowius reportedly possesses.
A new Germany?
The fate of the Kriegsmarine was slightly different from their land and air-based counterparts. All submarine flotillas were to be immediately disbanded due to their “lack of peaceful potential”, it is privately suggested that the U-Boat captains sunk their own vessels out of protest of their ships being renamed. What those names were, we do not know.
For the surface vessels, the Chancellor renamed and divided them among various countries as expeditionary forces.
Poland received the three cruisers Blume, Schmetterling, and the Großartiges Polen, as well as the transport squadron, Tadpfosten. These ships were under the Polnische Flotte command ran by skill 0 Admiral von Puttkamer. In the speech announcing this decision, the Chancellor reportedly said von Puttkamer's name was a “stereotypically good sign”.
Belgium received the two cruisers Regenbogen and the Fruchtfliege under the command of skill 0 Admiral Bey. Reportedly his name’s “shortness and abnormality” were what qualified him for this highly dignified post. When the Chancellor offered the province of Köln as well to the beloved Belgian King, he turned down the Chancellor’s generous offer, reportedly replying with a simple “no thanks”.
France received the two cruisers Guter Nachbar and Liebesboot under the command of skill 0 Grand Admiral Rogge.
The Chancellor is said to have tried to give the remaining ships to the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, but the ships were again sunk by their Captains who didn’t appreciate their ships being christened things like such as “Fruchtkuchen” (Fruitcake). The Reichchancellor is reportedly “disappointed” in the commander’s behavior and immediately sent a full apology to the respective countries along with a complimentry teddybear to each.
The said Teddybär
Regarding cabinet positions, the only change so far the Chancellor made was to remove the self-proclaimed “Prince of Terror” and install the slightly improved “Efficient Sociopath”. Hitler was dismayed over his only tow choices, but he reportedly said that it was a “solid improvement”.
Convoys were also immediately set up to send supplies and all of the various resources Germany possesses to Poland and the United Kingdom. The chancellor has recently announced a transport-building program so that he can send more.
Technology-wise, the Chancellor has announced that he plans to have Germany progress in the medical, electronic, and industrial research fields. He also mentioned that “whenever possible” he would share any advances with Germany’s neighbors.
Peaceful overtures
