Chapter 5 - Panther

Location: Village close to Munich

POV: Kyle's

I woke up early in the morning in order to be on time for the train to leave in the afternoon and still finish some business. I didn't grab breakfast I instead went immediately towards the petrol station. I smiled while making my way there, checking the prices of oil in Germany from the large billboard outside of the station. The price was 30 Reichsmark per Litre, seeing it being reasonable I requested 1200 litres worth.

The man's eyes almost popped out of his sockets, he stammered:'' Sir, our station only has 400 litres left worth of petrol, we only get resupplied once every month, if you would wait until the 1st of December I would be able to provide you with 1200 litres worth of petrol.'' I cursed my bad luck, for this situation to arise. I paid the man 12000 reichsmarks, requested it would be in a few barrels for easier transport and if he was able to lend me his truck for the day.

He immediately agreed for he has never sold his entire stock of Petrol, he struck it rich. I opened the GPS looked where the Panther was located and started to head towards it, luckily even though I do not have a drivers license no one will see my bad driving skills in the forest. 'I wonder how GPS still works without Satellites, but then again if it works it works, let's worry about the details later.' I thought.

With the truck I started to head out back to the Panther.'The the problem lays in where I am going to hide this large tank, it cannot be found or else I would lose a valuable asset.' For this, I decide to contact Rudolf at a later time when I think his most trustworthy. After more than 1 hour did I finally fill the Panther with 400 litres worth of fuel, Hopped in the driver seat and finally start the beast:''Let start this baby up!'' With the flick of a switch, the massive Maybach HL 234 TRM P72 engine comes to life, pumping out Horsepower like no tomorrow.

'This can really be called the pinnacle of German WW2 tank design!' I pushed the driver sticks forward and with a mighty, roar did the Panther move. I Started to drive the Panther Upstream instead of downstream, with my barrel aimed backwards I used the heavy hull to push down small trees that are in the way. After finding a place that has almost the same camouflage pattern as the panther did than I stopped driving. Satisfied with the current position I head back to the truck to go back to the village. 'I will be just on time to take the train to Munich with Rudolf.'

It only took around an hour before I parked the truck and headed to the station.' I still don't know how to make TUs easily, I will need to do some experimenting in Munich to see if it works.' With this idea in mind, I walked towards the station. It was only 16:32 and the train leaves at 17:15, 'a tad bit early I suppose' I walk towards a food stand in the Train station to get some long overdue lunch.

At 17:00 Rudolf arrives in full uniform and all equipped with a standard Kar 98K rifle on his back and a Walter Pistol.''How have you been Rudolf, you looking ready for combat.'' I said with a huge idiotic smile plastered on my face. ''I have been tasked with mobilisation, the higher-ups have not released any information why we need to increase training drills.'' Rudolf was clearly in a depressed mood. ''Let that not hold you back, we have a train to Munich to catch remember?'' We both quickly board the train and find our cabin that we are sharing.

It took less than 30 minutes for the train to arrive in Munich, I bade Rudolf goodbye for now as I head over to the newspaper stand in the station to read about the latest news happening in Germany. Besides a few articles about the current economic problems and how prices are rising, most of the news is about the running election campaign. I speed through the articles spotting nothing interesting I throw it in the bin. 'It is time to initiate the beginning phase of my plan. The construction of the Base. I have decided to put the base close to Kiefersfelden on the border of Germany-Austria since if the Anschluss will happen again it would be in the middle of German Lands instead of at the border, it also has good mountains in the area which can be used as Location.

'For this to work I need a capable Construction company, who will keep its mouth shut as well' I open the Delivery app to see if they have any military clothing, and after scrolling all the way down the list I can finally spot the German military Clothing, but looking at the price tags I almost immediately exploded in rage!'' 8000TUs FOR ANY MILITARY CLOTHING! WHAT A RIPOFF!'' Paying 8000TUs I would only have 500 TUs left, almost nothing. I close the app and start to think of another way to intimidate the construction office.

After a long period of thinking I decided to take the Big shot option since it is a crisis, I can just throw money at the problem. I bought a well-tailored suit for 200 TUs put them on and started to head towards an Extravagant looking restaurant. It only took 1 minute before finding one and looking at the prices I'm definitely at the correct location. The reason I pick this place is that well-off businessmen go. I asked for a table for 1 and then ordered the most expensive dishes. Totalling almost 40,000 Reichsmark.'Fucking ultimate bullshit prices, I demand the best food in the History of Germany for these prices.' I almost got a Heart attack seeing the price.

I started to talk to the waitress who was especially good-looking, she has blue eyes, Blond hair good physique, the typical German girl. I asked her some questions about where the best construction company is located and some other questions about where to hire talented people. She could sadly not answer any of the questions, but that didn't matter, as long as the rumour spread that a Billionaire is looking for People and a reliable Construction company.

I left afterwards and headed towards a luxurious hotel, asked for a one person room for 4 nights. Since I only plan to Stay here for that period before heading off to get My Panther. On the 3rd day whilst drinking a good cup of tea, I finally got contacted by a company.''Good Morning, sir, my name is Björn, Björn Kiesling. I have heard that you are looking for a reliable large-scale construction company?''

I Looked at him for a moment and tried to reply in a very authoritative tone:'' Hmmm'' '' it took you guys long enough. My name Is Kyle Weiss, I am a businessman who is currently working together with a few scientists and the military.'' I narrowed my eyes to look at him to see if he is uncomfortable after hearing this.''That's great Mr.Weiss we are a company specialises in military grade construction.'' he replied very earnestly.''What is your company's name, Mr Björn?'' I needed to know. ''Philipp Holzmann, the most prestigious construction company in southern Germany!'' He almost screamed. I gave him a sharp look, clearly showing to tone it down a notch. ''I need a large facility around Kiefersfelden, I'll go over the details when I am there, I expect to see already construction equipment there in 4 days time.

I will give you 300 million reichsmarks now and 400 Million afterwards construction has been completed. I'll tell you what I want and with the money, you build it with no spared expenses, do you understand!'' Björn nodded fiercely, we shake hands and he departs immediately. 'Phase one almost completed' i say to myself smugly.
