Akado still found an excuse, ended breakfast early, and rushed to the Army General Staff, where he hosted a solemn ceremony in the largest conference room. In the envious eyes of all officers, the third marshal of Germany was born. This man was Lunderstedt who had taken the marshal's scepter because he occupied London.
The rank awarded to the Field Marshal has long been recognized by Akado, and he has privately communicated with Lundstadt himself, but the stubborn old general believes that he must obtain the most glorious victory to obtain this glorious honor.
The Germans attach great importance to the rank of marshal. They insist that the person who obtains the rank of marshal must have the merit to match this rank. This is also the main reason why Hitler's massive promotion to the Marshal after the invasion of France attracted the army's dissatisfaction. These generals criticized Hitler for insulting the rank of the Marshal, and satirizing the marshal army marshal.
Therefore, Akado very carefully gave his generals the rank of Marshal. The promotion of Marshal Brauchic is because the internal defense of the National Defense Army is well-received, and it is also grateful to Brauchic for succeeding Akado to complete the Defence Force "Pluto Plan"; Raidel ’s promotion to marshal defeated the British navy and won an opportunity for the German navy to go to the ocean. Of course, another reason was that he was Akado ’s military mouthpiece; now Lundstedt has ended because of the victory of the British homeland. Being promoted to marshal, no one disputed this matter. After all, the victory of the two wars between France and Britain, Lundstadt participated in it, and the credit is not small.
In the sound of music, Akado personally went to the stage and patted the arm of the old general Lundstedt who rushed back from London to Berlin, Germany, smiling and wanted to shake hands with this general. However, instead of extending his palm, Lundstedt immediately raised his right arm and paid a respect to the head of state for a standard German ceremony: "Long live Akado Rudolf!"
Numerous cameras recorded this moment, and the newly-marshal Marshal Lundstedt stood up to salute the head, his eyes full of worship and joy.
"Welcome back to Berlin. Marshal Lundstedt." Akado smiled and stretched out his hand again. Lundstedt held out his palms in anguish. The two shook hands and stood. Facing the reporter together took a pose for taking pictures.
"My head of state, thank you for your trust and support. I lived up to the expectations and inserted the national flag in the city of London." Lundstadt is a typical Prussian soldier with a rigorous and unsophisticated style, but he is also the same as all traditional Prussian soldiers , With unparalleled loyalty and reliability.
"You have worked hard, but you have to rush back to London as soon as possible to stabilize the situation there and carry out the subsequent reconstruction work. According to the agreement, we will build military airports in Ireland and the North of the United Kingdom. These airports are under the command of Catherine. On the island ’s shore defense work, I need a relatively stable western defense line, and it all depends on you.
Akado said to reporters after taking a photo with Lundstedt.
Lundstein nodded his head and replied to Akado: "My head, I will immediately set up a defensive system. As long as there is no problem with the imperial navy, I want you to guarantee that the British Isles will be solid."
"For the new marshal of the Third Reich! Cheers!" Akado smiled and picked up the wine glasses on the table, raised his arms and smiled at his love.
"For the Atlantic Barrier! Cheers!" Lundstedt followed up and raised his glass: "I will rush back to London tomorrow, my head, please take care."
...
"General Rommel won the victory on ! Annihilated 20,000 British soldiers!" A newspaper boy shouted on the street waving newspapers. This year's newspapers are very easy to sell, so his life is much more generous.
After all, in 1938, the head of state appointed Speer to integrate the imperial industry and reorganize the Bailanhua Group; landed in the United Kingdom and occupied the British capital London; immediately after the Soviet-German war broke out, Germany won the counterattack on the border; now North Africa The victory was simply dazzling.
The people are still rejoicing, still discussing the North African war situation and the strategic supplies shipped back from Italy-this is one of the costs of Germany ’s troop dispatch to North Africa. These strategic supplies include flour and butter, and Italian labor. Now the Germans find that war is not unacceptable, as long as they can continue to obtain these benefits ...
Rommel's victory made the people cheer, but it made the General Staff of the National Defense Army chaotic. Brauchic is now on the Eastern Front, so here is the veteran Bock who has just returned from the Eastern Front to the Commander-in-Chief of the B Group Army and Deputy Chief of Staff of the National Defense Army.
He informed Akado on the phone of the North African frontline an hour ago by telephone, and this time Akado had just arrived at the office of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces. As soon as he saw Bock, Akado could not wait to ask about the North African war situation.
"Bok, how bad is it?" Akado frowned, holding a report, and asked while looking at it.
"My head of state, the transport ships that Italy can provide are very limited. In addition to the recent soldier rotation program, another infantry army originally planned to be shipped to North Africa is still in Italy." Boke pointed to the map and said: "They are still there There are ports here waiting for their ships. "
Akado looked at the map and the report in his hand. The situation seemed worse than he thought. Half of the strength of the African Legion is now either reorganized or on the road. Rommel has only the 7th Armored Army and the 7th Infantry Army who have been fighting for more than ten days in a row. The remaining troops are the second-tier Italian troops. Tobrook, there is no difference between suicide and suicide.
"Did you call Rommel? Order him to stop moving!" Akado dropped the material in his hand and walked to the map of North Africa. He tapped his finger on the blue arrow representing Rommel's main force and asked General Bock.
Bock shook his head helplessly: "My head of state, the battle of was started when the Army General Staff strictly ordered General Rommel to defend. He ignored the order and launched the attack, and he killed Tobrook all the way. Do you think he will be given an order to stop advancing at this time, will he listen? "
"..." Akado was silent, and Rommel as his darling general, what kind of temper he could not understand. At this time, only Akado personally issued instructions to stop him from attacking, otherwise even Brauch The implementation of Marshal Qi ’s warrant, after it really arrived in North Africa, may be greatly reduced.
"I personally ordered! The telegraph officer! Record: I am Akado Rudolph, order you to temporarily stop the attack and wait for the arrival of the new command of the Supreme Command." Akado called the telegraph officer and released the German command. The highest order.
Bock watched the telegraph officer hurried away, got up and handed another report to Akado, and said with frustration: "Italian logistics supplies are in a mess. General Rommel may now have run out of food, so We are still ready to respond to the defeat of the African Army. "
"Really defeated? Can't it be avoided?" Akado looked at his men in confusion, and asked with some fluke.
Burke smiled bitterly, then found another piece of information and placed it in front of Akado: "Because of the fiasco in the Battle of , Britain's highest commander in North Africa died of a heart attack and died invalidly. . The reluctant King of England had to let the Deputy Commander of North Africa take over. This commander is our old acquaintance, so I will feel that General Rommel is less fierce this time. "
"No ... Is it Montgomery?" Akado was taken aback, and then suddenly remembered the information that the deputy commander of the British Army in North Africa was indeed Montgomery, who almost drove Lundstedt, who was dominant in the British mainland. A famous general in the sea.
"Indeed, it's Montgomery. The calmness he showed in the British homeland is impressive. This general led an army that had never been seen to appear near Tobrook. The name is the 8th Army of the United Kingdom. confirm."
Akado sighed when he heard that it was indeed Montgomery. It seemed that he needed to restrain Rommel. After all, the duel between him and Montgomery ended in the failure of the Desert Fox. Although it is a pity to lose, people bring infinite regrets and melancholy.
Here I have to mention the tragic "Desert Fox" of Rommel. He commanded a dazzling series of offensive operations in North Africa, but returned to Germany for treatment at the most important moment because of stomach problems; he was then appointed to Germany The highest commander of the Atlantic Barriers, but missed the Battle of Normandy because of his wife ’s birthday-if a student skipped two classes in a semester and was named by the teacher, this can only be said of his tragedy, so As a general, Rommel missed an important battle twice, but it was actually very tragic.
"Prepare supplies for Rommel halfway in advance, arrange wherever you can, and return him to a safe area. He is the main force of the empire. Make sure that the 7th Armored Division and the 7th Infantry Army Security. "
"Safe? My head, after more than ten days of continuous combat, it is already the limit that half of the tanks of the 7th Armored Division can be driven to the front line, and this time is considered lucky for Rommel. At present, he has at most two The armored battalion and the infantry of about one division. Montgomery ’s counterattack will succeed, but our loss will not be too great.
General Bock knew more about the battlefield than Akado, and he broke the words of Akado ’s worry in a word. Of: "If the 7th Armored Division and the 7th Infantry Army appeared intact in Tobrook, how dare Montgomery fight back ..."
