Chapter 728: Good news bad news

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
In mid-January 1939, two good news came from the distant battlefield. The first good news was that Rommel had captured the Egyptian capital Cairo after a 20-day siege in North Africa. The mysterious and ancient Egyptian kingdom flew the German 4D flag on almost all the day.
This good news has a lot of direct impact on Germany. For example, Akado, as head of state, must fulfill the promise he said and grant the third general the rank of German army marshal, and Rommel was defeated on this day. The telegram was recalled in Germany.
The only difference is that because the fighting on the Eastern Front was very tense, Rommel was ordered to fly to the wolf den where the head was, instead of Berlin, to receive his first-level army command medal and the marshal cane representing the supreme power of the army. .
While on the plane, Rommel listened to the third empire external radio about his personal bragging through the radio. The speaker repeated the endless music over and over again. A sweet female voice told the empire with a regular voice The achievements of the third marshal Rommel.
It seems that everything about him has not been forgotten by the world. On the contrary, each of his achievements has become a heroic legend that everyone talks about after dinner. For example, Rommel, as a general, showed up in the flash war against Poland. His armored troops captured several cities in the north, and the Polish defense line collapsed because of his attack.
And the battlefield where he is truly famous is in France, where he advanced dozens of kilometers a day and defeated the main French armored force in one fell swoop. He and Gudrian were together, and the British and French forces were mainly in Dunkirk to defeat Germany. France has created the most favorable conditions.
He then fought in North Africa, experienced ups and downs, and finally established the victory of the German-Italian coalition in North Africa. He marched into Alexandria, fulfilling the entrustment of the head of state to him. Now that the German flag has flown over Cairo, the North African war situation has stabilized, and the rest is nothing more than taking the fool of Suez.
Not surprisingly, when Rommel got off the plane, the airport at Wolf's Den was already full of people to greet him. Some were reporters of the Empire, and some were sent by the military to receive his entourage. The general and the school official stood a hundred meters long dragon, and the staircase at the foot of Rommel was facing the red carpet that had been paved to the side of the car.
"Lizheng! Head of State Agado? Long live Rudolph!" Everyone shouted in a neutral voice. Although secretly divided into two groups of heads of faction and traditional faction in the German team, all the commanders showed their sincere conscientiousness to the procedure of the head of state to promote the marshal. Akado is not the same as Hitler. It is different from Hitler's wanton promotion to marshal to buy people's hearts. Akado, who comes from the military background, does not need to do this. He formulated very harsh marshal promotion rules, and rarely nominated promotion generals.
So every soldier who has won the rank of Marshal has convinced everyone that the scepter representing the highest power of the Germans is enough for all the soldiers of all factions to worship. These people are the true gods of war, the military tycoon alone.
Because of this, everyone stood upright, raised his right hand to Rommel, and performed a standard German ceremony. Rommel walked down the ladder and waved to the people who had greeted him. His military uniform was still full of sand, which made his whole person look a little sloppy. But he was in a good mood, smiled and nodded to everyone, walked over the crowd, and boarded the car to the wolf den.
"My marshal! You have lived up to my expectations, so I heard that you have been waiting for this moment after you captured Cairo!" Akado stood at the entrance of the wolf den, and he could come out to meet Rommel himself. It is already a very rare courtesy, at least in Rommel's view, he is the God of War created by Akado himself. Even the God of War is also the God of War under Akado.
He walked in front of Akado, patting his uniform while walking. No one was able to arrange his appearance along the way, and no one reminded him at this time, he beat the dust on his body anxiously, as if a young man who wanted to see his sweetheart was full of uneasiness.
When he walked in front of Akado, his legs were close together. When he stood upright, his heels knocked together and made a crunching sound. Then the commander-in-chief of the German-Italian African Army in North Africa raised his own On the right hand, a German ritual was practiced to the point that it was no longer standard. The piety is so shabby that everyone around me feels that his salute is perfunctory in the face of this standard.
"My head! The commander of the African Army, Elvin Rommel, reports to you!" Rommel stood in front of Akado and sang aloud.
"My marshal! You can now call yourself a marshal. Although my awarding ceremony has not yet begun, the broadcast has been released all over the world. You are already a marshal of the Third Reich." Akado smiled and patted Rommel Shoulder, said happily.
"My head, in front of you, Rommel will always be the loyal man, whether it is a colonel, a major general, a lieutenant general, a general, or a marshal. I will always be your most loyal like when I took over the formation of the 26th Cavalry Division Alvin. "Rommel replied with his head high.
Akado was stunned, and then sighed with some sigh: "Time, an instant, ten years have passed. We are not young anymore. There are many heroic and loyal warriors around me, but there are really few friends. You count one ... "
Because of the location, the ceremony was not very grand, but Marshal Brouchich attended the ceremony as a military representative. At the same time, there were 4 generals, 11 lieutenants, and 19 major generals. Applause rang as Rommel took the scepter of marshal representing power and honor from Akado.
The second news that came to the German wolf den was less exciting for the empire. The news was that after a fierce battle, the Japanese navy lost its strategic initiative on the Pacific battlefield. The battle for Kauai finally ended with the victory of the US Navy and Army, and the Japanese Navy and Army finally withdrew from this area.
Fifty-six Marshal Yamamoto used all his strength and could only retreat to the waters of Midway Island with the remnants of the combined fleet. Although the fleet ’s main ship did not lose much, the loss of the pilots of the carrier fighters made this already felt. The marshal of the Japanese navy, who was subsequently weak, saw his own end.
Zero fighter jets have paid a heavy price for the extreme design. This kind of aircraft that has a high probability of catching fire and exploding in the air once hit is no different from a lighter. Allowing the structural strength of the aircraft to make compromises has pushed Japan ’s precious pilot resources to the brink of exhaustion and collapse.
At the beginning of the war, the Japanese Navy had about 1400 pilots with rich combat experience. At this time, it had lost more than 500 people because of its consumption against the United States. This attack was unbearable by the Japanese Navy ’s aviation, and it also gave the Japanese Navy ’s overall combat power. It fell to a worrying level.
Although Yamamoto fifty-six preserved the bone blood of the joint fleet, he lost a lot of blood, which made the joint fleet suddenly find that the strongest trump card in his hand, that is, the naval aviation can not be used, the rest is only cited A proud battleship unit. At this time, the Japanese battleship still had a certain advantage over the United States, but Yamamoto knew that this advantage was not very safe to use.
The good news is that the Japanese Army finally realized the importance of Midway Island, and it deployed about 200 Army fighter jets and bombers in an attempt to cooperate with the Navy to fight a defensive counterattack on Midway Island, consuming US naval forces. The frustration is that the cooperation experience between Army Aviation and Hainan Airlines is basically zero, so in the end, it is easier to study and decide separately.
The battlefield can be quiet and the front can be stabilized, but the lost troops need time to make up, and what the Japanese Navy is lacking now is time. Valuable Japanese naval aviation pilot training students have not been able to complete their studies, but were dragged into the battlefield in a hurry. These pilots can only complete basic flight actions, and their overall strength is similar to Soviet pilots. Can be regarded as a rookie, the target of slaughter by the Americans.
However, the Japanese did not lack the courage to die or the reasons for death, so these few students were transferred to the battlefield to supplement the 56th Marshal Yamamoto who lacked fighter pilots. Looking at the young faces that had just arrived in Midway, Yamamoto felt that his war was over and completely over.
It is a pity that the war will not end because Yamamoto's will ends. It must be said by the Americans that the end is the real end. In desperation, Yamamoto could only allocate a batch of valuable aviation gasoline to allow these new students to train a few more times before the war, so as to save their young lives in the brutal war.
"Jun Sato, do you think these pilots can play a role in reversing the world in the upcoming decisive battle?" General Nan Yunzhong pressed his hands on the handle of the command knife and asked to stand beside him, with a bandage on his arm. The ace pilot Sato.
Sato was wounded in the last air battle, which was the last air battle on Kauai. The bullet hit his plane. Fortunately, he did not hit any load-bearing structure, but just penetrated his arm, so although he was injured, he was still driving His plane fled the battlefield, and it was a fluke to pick up his life.
