The Third Reich in Desperation

Zhang Chengtian bit the bullet, combined with the historical summary of France's occupation of the Ruhr, recalled Sickert's guidance all the time, and gritted his teeth and said his judgment: "The French army is bound to win this time, 10 The Franco-Belgian Allied Forces should be all the forces they use for this operation. In a short period of time, it will be difficult for France to gather a new reinforcement. It is not that there are no troops in France, but because of France's current economic status, political foundation, and public opinion Public opinion and even the international situation do not allow the French government to continue to deploy troops and expand the war."

All the generals nodded their heads to Zhang Chengtian's conclusion, which gave Zhang Chengtian great confidence.Satisfied with his vanity, Zhang Chengtian's brain was immediately flooded with enthusiasm, and he completely forgot the scar of being criticized by Sickert in his last speech: "The strategic advantage of the French army is based on quick battles. Once we get stuck The French have already failed by controlling their offensive momentum. Therefore, their strong attack at the moment seems to be high-spirited, but in fact it is relentless. They have no choice but to continue to attack until they break through."

Hearing that Zhang Chengtian had similar opinions with his own, Doyle also nodded and said: "Yes, the domestic situation and international pressure of the French army are already very severe. Under such circumstances, I think the intelligence departments of the National Defense Forces and the Gestapo should be credible. The French army will not have any reinforcements! That's why the French army has to give it a go, creating the illusion of sufficient strength, combined with psychological warfare to overwhelm us."

Seeing someone helping him to speak, Zhang Chengtian looked at Lieutenant Colonel Doyle with grateful eyes.

Doyle, who misunderstood Zhang Chengtian's gaze as encouragement, boasted confidently: "According to my estimation, the French army's large-scale offensive against the Ruhr cannot continue. I can even conclude that their offensive cannot continue." Twenty-four hours! By this time tomorrow, perhaps we will receive reports that the French army is exhausted and has stopped attacking."

Lieutenant General Kelun, who had expressed agreement with Zhang Chengtian's words just now, after listening to Doyle's high-spirited speech, once again vehemently refuted this lieutenant colonel who had unintentionally tripped for Zhang Chengtian.

I saw Cologne knocking on the report on the table, and sarcastically said: "According to Steve's report, the two highland positions of the SS Army were besieged by no less than 1 French troops in turn. A French armored division that was consumed in large quantities. The French Marshal Pétain only has more than 1 French troops in his hands."

Glancing at Lieutenant Colonel Doyle, Collen asked back: "According to Lieutenant Colonel Doyle's inference, the French army should stop attacking at 2:[-] noon today because of exhaustion. But according to the report we just received, the French army The offensive of the corps has not stopped. So, how does Lieutenant Colonel Doyle explain this?"

Seeing Doyle being questioned by Ke Lun, Zhang Chengtian suddenly felt that Sickert might want to continue reasoning by himself.Therefore, the alert Zhang Chengtian immediately gave Ross a wink.

As the head of the Gestapo, Ross's observation skills can be considered quite keen.Ross immediately understood Zhang Chengtian's hint.

Unfortunately, Rose has no clue about the situation in front of him.

However, the admiration and loyalty to Zhang Chengtian made Ross make up his mind to bite the bullet and stand up.

It is one thing to be determined, quite another to be capable.

Ross's military literacy is not strong, otherwise he would not have been transferred from the National Defense Forces and transferred to the police station as a sergeant.

To put it bluntly, Ross is an officer who was eliminated by the "[-] National Defense Forces".

However, after racking his brains, Ross still thought of a possibility.

Under Zhang Chengtian's silent urging, Ross quickly put forward his own idea: "I have a hypothesis. Maybe this French Marshal Pétain concentrated the French armored forces on the front line to attack, and stayed behind to besiege the two high areas." They are all infantry. Perhaps this is the reason why the French army has caused us a strong attack. The troops on the front line of the French army have not increased in number, but in quality."

Yes, there is a possibility.Zhang Chengtian looked at Ross, who was not good at military affairs, with a look of relief.

It's a pity that before everyone was happy, Sickert poured cold water: "Even if the French army concentrated their armored units, they shouldn't have such a high combat effectiveness. You know, the French already had an armored division just a few days ago He suffered heavy losses. Steve's Ruhr defense line also supplemented the anti-tank guns we secretly shipped to him. Furthermore, Steve's report clearly mentioned that the French army carried out large-scale operations on multiple areas at the same time. Scale impact. According to my speculation, the French army needs at least 3 people to support such a high-intensity intensive offensive."

Text Chapter 30 See Through

As everyone came up with their own ideas, the whole meeting became more and more chaotic, and various theories emerged one after another.But there is not a single theory that really stands up to scrutiny.

Seeing the disputes among the people present, Sickert sighed.Originally, I wanted to gather the wisdom of everyone to study Petain's tactics.Now it seems that the difference in height may not be made up by quantity.Pétain, the famous French general who had led to Germany's defeat in the First World War, had reached a terrifying level of tactics.

Although very unwilling, Sickert had to admit that he couldn't see through Petain's strategy.So far, Sickert has not figured out how Petain used 6 French troops to achieve the effect of 10 people.

Gently putting his favorite light blue glossy pen into the drawer, Sickert decided that it was time to sum up this chaotic meeting.

With Sickert bending his index finger, he tapped on the desk.The dispute in the meeting room stopped.Sickert, who had been sitting behind the desk from the very beginning, got up slowly: "Although it is a pity, it seems that we will not be able to figure out the means of this French opponent within today. Regarding the casualties from Steve According to the report, the number of French troops in the Ruhr Industrial Zone will not be less than 3. The troops in Steve’s hands cannot last long on the vast borderline of the Ruhr Industrial Zone. Now it seems that The breakthrough of the French army is only a matter of time!"

Looking at the silent crowd, Sickert waved his hands to the two guards at the door in disappointment, indicating that they can notify the adjutants outside the office and prepare to pick up the officers who are in the meeting.In the end, Sickert could only regretfully announce: "Everyone, we don't have much time. Now, we have to make a decision. Even if this decision is wrong! We also have to make a decision. Time is running out Allow us to drag on."

Hearing this, Zhang Chengtian smiled wryly.He understands that his teacher is ready and ready to meet a result.Whether it is success or failure!

"Boom!" Sickert made a fist with his right hand and slammed it heavily on the desk.The pure white ceramic cup made in the East that contained black coffee at the corner of the table was shaken very quickly by the shock.The black coffee in the cup was also spilled on the mahogany-colored tabletop, which was particularly conspicuous.

Sickert didn't pay attention to the ceramic mug he had always liked, and the generals didn't pay attention to the coffee spilled on the table.Everyone's attention was drawn to Sickert's rare arousal.

"At this point, we have no way out. Now that the war has started, we can only fight for victory with all our strength. I will let the Wehrmacht station the 117th and 118th regiments behind the Rhine River in the name of the SS. Support Ruhr." Sickert made the decision in one breath, and then added word by word: "All responsibilities will be paid by me, everyone here, just give my order."

Major General Kelun shouted in surprise: "Sickert, you are crazy! Mobilize the National Defense Forces, and the nature of the conflict will become a national war. You will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history." Shocked, no one I noticed that Major General Kelun, who has always paid attention to the titles of superiors and subordinates, forgot to call Sickert an admiral, and even called him by his first name.

Doyle, who was still arguing with Lieutenant Colonel Collen just now, also persuaded: "Yes, once the National Defense Forces are mobilized, General Sickert will become the criminal who caused the war. This responsibility is too heavy. Colonel Reinhardt, you also help Advise..."

Everyone originally hoped that Zhang Chengtian, Sickert's disciple, could persuade Sickert, who was about to mobilize the National Defense Forces to join the war.But when everyone thought of the colonel who had been silent since just now, everyone was surprised to find that Zhang Chengtian was still in the mood, pulling out the paper towels on the table one by one, and wiping the spilled paper towels on the table. coffee on.

Co-author, he hasn't listened carefully since just now!This guy actually has the time to do his job as a cleaner at this time!

"Colonel Reinhardt, isn't it time to do the cleaning?" Lieutenant Colonel Doyle, who had just mentioned Zhang Chengtian, asked with an embarrassed expression: "You should have heard what we just said?"

Zhang Chengtian, who had just cleaned the mahogany tabletop, crumpled up the wet toilet paper and threw it into the trash can on the right side of Doyle.

Then, Zhang Chengtian pulled two more papers from the drawer, wiped his hands and said, "I was wiping the table just now, didn't... I didn't forget to listen to your discussion. To be honest, it was very good, really."

The eager Major General Kellen couldn't stand it anymore, he pulled Doyle away and shouted: "Colonel Reinhardt, now we should focus all our attention on the Ruhr war. In any case, wipe the table Nothing should be done at this time.”

"Oh." Zhang Chengtian thought for a while, and this kind of argument seemed very reasonable.Then he flew into a rage and said, "What do you call it? It's great to be reasonable. What I don't like to talk about the most is reason..."

Now it was Collen's turn to be dazed. After all, he was always getting along with strict Germans.This is the first time Ke Lun has encountered such a nonsensical Zhang Chengtian.

Collen's words seemed reasonable, but they had the opposite effect of persuasion.When he was studying in the past, Zhang Chengtian was very disgusted with similar advice from his parents. He should put all his energy on his studies and try not to do anything unrelated to his studies.

Lao Tzu is not a robot, nor does he have only one function.It's hard to refute if it's my parents, let alone you, Ke Lun, are not my parents.

Poor Ke Lun just became Zhang Chengtian's punching bag for recalling his sad childhood.

"Ahem" Sickert took a serious look at this unscrupulous disciple, "Reinhardt, get down to business. Also, you don't seem to have expressed your opinion yet. Come on, say it now."

Zhang Chengtian scratched his head in embarrassment, and said a shocking speech: "Actually, I can see through Petain's methods. It all depends on your teacher's good guidance..."

Text Chapter 31 Breaking the game

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Zhang Chengtian was also shocked.

All the inferences he made were based on chance discoveries.In other words, he himself is not sure whether he is right or wrong.However, the generals in front of them seemed to agree with their point of view.Are you really a genius?

Major General Ke Lun led the way out of the crowd and came to Zhang Chengtian. "Colonel Reinhardt, I have to admit that your speculation is very feasible. Perhaps, you are indeed a gift from God to Germany, as rumored."

God's gift to Germany! ?Zhang Chengtian didn't know at the moment that under Ross's arrangement, the Gestapo had done a lot of publicity for Zhang Chengtian in recent years.

Today, 99% of the German people have heard of Zhang Chengtian's heroic deeds and love him as a hero.

Today's Germany is weak and weak.The heavy indemnity imposed on the Germans by the League of Nations made the lives of the German people more miserable day by day.

In the midst of suffering, all topics about heroes are often the most inspiring.Without material satisfaction, people began to seek spiritual comfort.

Facing the needs of the people, the German government, which cannot satisfy the people materially, can only try to give the people a spiritual comfort.

Therefore, the German government is also looking for a hero, and even trying to create a hero!

And Zhang Chengtian, under the background of this suffering, was vigorously promoted by the Gestapo and became the hero in the hearts of the German people.

In this regard, the attitude of the German government is only acquiescence.Of course, there is more or less an attitude of enjoying what you get.

Thus, a hero who resisted British oppression through "Operation Rainbow" and quelled the Cap riot through "Precise Prediction".And so was born!

And now the hero is Reinhardt who planned the "Purple Plan" not long ago to fight against the French invaders.

When it comes to the "Purple Plan", this is entirely Zhang Chengtian's personal bad taste.
