Battle of the Third Reich

Hitler said: "Today's meeting is very important, and today's military regular meeting will discuss the next step of the Western Front."

Then he said to Himmler and Schillach: "You could not participate in this kind of meeting, but I want you to understand how the great German team wiped out the German enemies, so they made an exception. Let you participate."

The two were so flattered that they thanked Hitler for his respect. But Xu Jun knew in his heart that Hitler let them come to let him perform well in today's meeting, so that the two of them left a deep impression on their excellent military talents and their support from Hitler. Pave the way for yourself to get their help later.

Then Hitler said to Yodel: "Yode, you first talk about the situation on the front line."

Yodel stood up and walked to the front of the map, took the benchmark handed to him by the adjutant, and then pointed to the map while explaining the current battlefield situation on the Western Front.

Xu Jun did not seriously listen to what he was talking about, and he already knew the situation in the documents he read last night. He was now thinking about how to refute the stupid ideas of Ronderstad and Gorin when Hitler asked for advice.

Xu Jun beckoned to a Hitler's military adjutant standing beside him. The adjutant came over and bowed his head to ask Xu Jun what was needed.

Xu Jun whispered in his ear: "You are going to my adjutant Hans now and bring my briefcase."

"Comply." The adjutant nodded and opened the door to walk out.

Hitler was listening carefully to Yoder’s report and did not pay attention to it. After a briefcase was taken, Xu Jun thanked the officer and put the briefcase at his feet.

At this time, Yoder had finished his report and returned to his seat. Hitler spread a map of Europe in front of him, frowning. Then he raised his head and said to Rondestadt: "I have read the report from you and Manstein, because he is now commanding the battle, so I call you. Now you come to talk Talk about your views on the next stage of combat."

Ronderstadt stood up and took out a report from his folder.

"My head of state, in view of the current battlefield situation, our offensive is smooth. Our group A army has broken through the French line of defense and is advancing towards the French coast according to our plan. In fact, General Goodrian’s first 19 The armored army had reached the English Channel the day before yesterday, and yesterday it had occupied the important French port of Boulogne, and today it is attacking another port of Calais. Our other tank troops have also arrived in Ayr-Saint On the front line of the Omer-Graflin Canal, we have completely cut off the connection between the main force of the British Expeditionary Force and the main force of the French First Army and the French rear, plus the cooperation of the B Group Army in Belgium, we have basically put them Surrounded by the Ayr Canal area, it can now be seen that it was only a matter of time before the army was eliminated.

However, we now encounter a bigger problem. Should we use our precious armored forces to accomplish this task? Due to the smooth operation in the early stage, our tank troops have moved too fast, and the follow-up troops have now been unable to keep up with their advance speed. Therefore, these armored forces are now in danger of being attacked by the two wings of the enemy. The soldiers of the armored division are now in a very tired state, and now they are fighting with perseverance and faith in the empire. Moreover, the loss of tanks is also very serious. Many tanks are now in a state where they must be stopped for repairs.

And because our enemies have been forced into a dead end by us, their resistance is also many times stronger than before. If we send tank troops to attack, we must be prepared to be stubbornly resisted by the enemy. And on the Ayr Canal, there are many rivers and swamps, which are not suitable for the use of tanks. If you rush into tanks, you will suffer unnecessary losses. These precious tanks are the main force in the second phase of our decisive battle with the French army. We must not take risks and make unnecessary sacrifices to eliminate the unit destined to be eliminated.

So I think that our tank troops should stop attacking, rest on the spot, and build a line of defense along the lines of Langs-Beton-Ayr-Saint-Omer-Graflin Canal to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. The Israeli infantry attacked the enemy's defense line from the east of Arras. Although it may take more time, the cost of our elimination of this enemy will be greatly reduced. This is my suggestion. "

After Long Destedt finished speaking, Hitler nodded to him with satisfaction.

Xu Jun found that Hitler had been nodding while listening to the report from Ronderstedt, proving that Hitler had the same idea already, and Xu Jun felt that his chance to perform had arrived. But as he was preparing to speak, Hitler spoke.

"I agree with Ronderstadt’s opinion that we really can’t waste our elite armor unnecessarily on enemies destined to be wiped out. But I think it’s a waste of time to send infantry to complete this task. There is a better way."

Hearing Hitler's words, Strecher, Yoder, and Kettle frowned, and when they were ready to raise objections, Goring stood up.

"My head, please let my air force complete this task. Without the slow infantry of the army, my air force will wipe out the enemy in the canal area without leaving. I guarantee that within three days Blow up the enemy without leaving a piece of armor"

All army officers were taken aback by the words of Goring. Kettle and Yoder's face flushed suddenly, just when they considered whether or not they should go out and face Goering's opinion. A voice sounded lazily.

"It's nonsense!"

This sentence surprised the people present, and everyone looked towards the person who spoke.

I saw that our deputy head of state is now relaxed and contented. He also picked up a cup of coffee and began to taste it seriously, as if the previous sentence clearly insulted the Air Marshal, not from his mouth.

There was a commotion in the conference room. Army officers watched Xu Jun's eyes began to admire and rejoice, even with a trace of expectations. The two generals and the two marshals have never seen anyone dare to face Goering in this way. They were prepared to do so at the risk of being reprimanded by Hitler, but they only dared to express their objections in a gentle tone, and never dared to blatantly refute such blatant remarks.

Marshal Kettle's face turned red again, but this time it was because of excitement. Originally, I thought that this young deputy head of state was the same as other generals. It was a man who had no military talent and was useless to the army except for grabbing money for the army at a budget meeting. Putting him in the staff department just made him a good-looking decoration.

However, after the Battle of Alas, he and several colleagues have begun to change the view that the deputy head of state has no military skills. The kind of incredible combat methods and strict and meticulous combat arrangements are by no means a person without military skills. owned. Maybe the man used to hide his abilities deliberately. But he couldn't think of any reason for him to do that. Anyway, it was not his business, so he didn't have to think about it. At that time, I was thinking about whether I should rearrange the work of the deputy head of state in the General Staff. Perhaps I should use his hidden military talents.

But what I didn't expect was that, in fact, that person could be more useful to the army besides military affairs. He was a man with enough strength to speak for the army.

In the previous military conference, the deputy head of state did not appear again except after the invasion of Poland. At the time, he thought that even if he was present, it would be impossible for him to put forward any good opinions by relying on his poor military ability, so he never cared about it. Now it seems that he has neglected the most important point besides the man’s military ability, his status as deputy head of state. It is because there is no one who can speak to the Army at a military conference, so the Army has always been oppressed by Goering’s air force.

How can I forget that this person actually has the strength to compete with Goering, which is really unforgivable.

Now it seems that the deputy head of state is finally going to show his power. According to the military mind he showed, he should be able to completely refute Gorin’s stupid suggestions. In addition, from his consistent position of taking care of the army, he can definitely get back the army. The honor of this victory. Keiteer looked at Xu Jun with excited eyes.

Yodel and Strecher had the same idea, but they thought further.

What Yoder thought was that the deputy head of state must be fully pulled into the Army. Although he is now a Brigadier General of the General Staff, the Army obviously treated him badly. How can he make up for his previous mistakes?

In Marshal Sletcher’s mind, there was only one idea. Finally, someone could come out against Goering. It seemed that he had neglected the young deputy head of state. The hope of the army is now in the young Brigadier General. . If this time it is not possible to overthrow Goering's plan, not only will the Air Force be pressed against the Army forever, but he will no longer be able to lift his head in front of the generals below.

Thinking of this, the old guy gave Ronderstadt a fierce glance.

meaning is. "Look at your good suggestions and good things."
