The Third Reich in Desperation

"You compliment me too much." Adrian said with some embarrassment.

"It's nothing, just telling the truth." Lengerheimer waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then the chat ends here, I'm more anxious to leave."

Lengerheimer beckoned his driver to bring a newspaper, and handed it to Adrian: "This is my favorite issue of Social Worker's News, I'm sending it to you, read it when you have time."

In the newspaper, the first prominent sentence that caught Adrian's eyes was "Within two months, completely defeat France and re-brilliant Germany!"

Text Chapter 343 The Other Side of the Head of State

"honor........"

Reinhardt stood by the window of the office on the top floor of the Führer's residence, looking at the already dim night view of the street.Looking out from this office on the west side of the third floor of the residence of the head of state, one can have a panoramic view of a street called Glory Avenue leading to the main entrance of the residence of the head of state.Because there are two lines of elite guards in black uniforms belonging to the 0th Division of the SS guarding the periphery of the Führer's residence, this street is deserted most of the time, especially at night.

His eyes stayed on the lonely Avenue of Glory under the light of the street lamps, and Reinhardt's voice was extremely cool and empty: "Over the past 20 years, countless ancestors have worked hard and devoted themselves to be able to defeat the British and French allied forces in the next war. Recover the glory lost in the First World War, and stand on the top of Europe again. Today, the road paved by our ancestors is under our feet. We only need to go up it boldly, and we only need to sacrifice... ...."

Because it was night, and there were no shops or pedestrians around the head of state's mansion, the office seemed unusually quiet.Except for Reinhardt's cold voice, there was only the breathing of everyone present.In front of their eyes, Reinhard's face was slightly blue due to the cool-toned wall lamps in the office.

This is an extremely rare aspect of the head of state, and even many people who often come into contact with Reinhardt may not have seen his face.

Guderian's troops, now, have forcibly crossed the Somme, from Abbeville and the English Channel.They had repelled the last attempt by the French armored forces to counterattack, but had failed to go further and complete the all-important charge.

Thinking that the Army General Headquarters actually bypassed the High Command, they cut first and played later without saying hello, forcing Guderian's 19th Armored Army to stop in the Bren area.When I think about it, even Long Wuwu, who has always disliked interfering in lower-level operations, that is, General Lundstadter, the commander of Army Group A, actually agrees with the order of the Army General Headquarters, and ordered Guderi Ann stopped marching, causing the 19th Armored Corps, which was about to bite the tail of the British and French coalition forces, to watch the enemy leave. A burst of angry karma mixed with blood rushed to the brain.

Alberta's humiliation, Sickert's trepidation, and his countless efforts over the years by Reinhardt.After 20 years of waiting, 20 years of backlog of hard work, until today, it was finally released.The helplessness that tens of millions of German soldiers accepted with hatred, and the blood that had been poured out of pain, have ushered in the opportunity to re-emerge.

Fortunately, Sansheng was able to inherit the ideal of Teacher Sickert, personally lead the German Legion to fight against the British and French allied forces again, and realize their dream that they could not realize 20 years ago.To get this kind of honor, Reinhardt considers himself the greatest luck that a man like him can imagine!

All you need is for the commanders to follow suit, and you only need them to do it boldly!

The army's obedience to the Supreme Commander's orders was the most unbearable point for Reinhardt.Especially as the Army General Command is now, bypassing him and directly ordering troops according to the Army Command's ideas, this planted the seeds of distrust for both sides, and it also made Reinhardt work hard to correct the historical mistakes and return to the past. to the original historical trajectory.

"Is it because I am too easy-going and my way of handling conflicts is too gentle, so that the generals of the army headquarters have forgotten that I am their head of state, and who in the end says what counts in this country?! "Different from his usual image in the sun, Reinhardt's tone at this moment is even colder and bone-chilling in the dark night.

"Guderian's troops have forcibly broken through the Maas River defense line. The road to Paris and the English Channel is opening. The Anglo-French coalition forces in northern Belgium are completely surrounded by our army's two major army groups. Chen Bing, the French garrison on the Maginot Line The Legion was also attacked by the flanking attack of Army Group C..."

"The enemy no longer has, and it is impossible to have any power to change the situation of the battle..." Reinhardt turned around, gritted his teeth full of hostility: "What excuse do they have, stagnant, afraid Scared of your feet?!"

As Reinhardt's most trusted director of the National Security Bureau, Rose, who manages all the secret police of the Third Reich, swallowed his saliva and softly persuaded: "Führer, although I don't understand military affairs, I heard that the Army General Command It was not because of cowardice that the troops were pushed forward, but because they were worried that the British and French allied forces would take the opportunity to counterattack, which would cause excessive wear and tear on the aggressively advancing armored forces...."

"Excessive loss?" Reinhard snorted coldly, and Rose couldn't help but tremble a little bit with the sharp eyes that Che showed.

Although I have seen Reinhardt get angry in private before, the head of state has never been as angry as today before.Ross couldn't imagine that the head of state in front of him was the same person who was always cheerful during the day!

Reinhardt didn't even turn his head, and yelled lightly: "Paulus, come and analyze to me how reasonable the bullshit worries of the Army General Command are."

Of course Paulus knew that Reinhardt didn't really want to justify the worries of the Army General Headquarters himself. Also understand how important it is for armored forces to maintain a bold and oppressive attack at this moment.

"Our army has all the advantages, and we have two airborne divisions that can be deployed on any battlefield at any time as a rapid strategic reserve..." Although shocked by Reinhardt's momentum at this time, Paulus Still lowering his head, he sorted out his thoughts and organized: "It is really a foolish behavior to give up and continue the offensive. Even if it is true that the armored forces have suffered heavy losses, even heavy losses, as the Army Commander-in-Chief feared... .That's a worthwhile loss!"

He deserved to be able to defeat the famous Soviet general Zhukov's three new army counterattacks many times in the future, and after being heavily surrounded by the Soviet army, he was able to stand calmly for half a year without ammunition and food. His psychological quality is really tough.Reinhard, who was extremely angry, did not forget to secretly admire Paulus in his heart.

"Did you hear that?" Reinhard, who was in a rage, managed to hold back a bit, and asked Paulus to explain a few words to Rose for him.

"Manstein and I have led the old guys at the Army General Headquarters to repeatedly deduce and demonstrate the feasibility of the "Sickle Harvest Plan", and hand in hand to give them a supplementary and perfect second-stage "Breakdown Plan". Electricity Plan." Reinhardt looked around, and said with a grim expression to the few cronies in the office, including Ross and Paulus: "But they can still change the established plan so casually! "

old man? !The head of state would never say such cruel words that offend people in normal times.Now that I said that today, it can only be said that the anger in the head of state's chest has rushed into the brain with boiling blood!

In the dead silence that followed, Reinhardt said lightly: "I can feel that President Alberta, General Sickert, and countless souls are watching us...they are waiting for the younger generation Ladies and gentlemen, show your courage to snatch the pride that belongs to Germany. Loss....sacrifice is not an excuse!"

"Stop the troops first, and then ask me for instructions symbolically." Reinhardt walked to his desk, raised his index finger and tapped the table, and said, "Is this still called asking for instructions? It's clearly just an announcement. "

"So, Head of State, are you planning to..." Ross asked tentatively.

In fact, Ross has already thought of a solution for Reinhardt, that is, to use the power of the Gestapo to assassinate all generals who get in the way, no matter who he is!

In hindsight, it would have been nice to put it all on the British agents.

Splashing dirty water is the best solution to this kind of inexplicable shady means.In this way, not only can the disobedient general be solved, but also the anger of the people can be channeled to the British government, killing two birds with one stone.

As for the outstanding generals lost... In the eyes of Ross, is there anyone in Germany who is better than the head of state?No!

As long as you obey the arrangement of the head of state, it must be right.Those who act recklessly are already doomed!

How Ludendorff was "executed for treason" back then, and how Hindenburg "let the stormtroopers kill by mistake", these are very clear to Ross.The reputation is like Ludendorff, the power is like Hindenburg, and he has fallen one after another in the way of Reinhardt turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.The remaining generals of the army today are more than a little worse than the perfect combination of Ludendorff and Hindenburg back then.

What are they fighting against the head of state? !

For 20 years, the knife of the Gestapo has not fallen on the head of a big man for almost 20 years.It has been so long that many people have forgotten that the Gestapo organization is not only used externally, but also internally!

The Gestapo, a monster that once roared in the world, only temporarily restrained its minions, but never forgot to sharpen its fangs and claws.When it bared its fangs, any target it stared at could only be prepared to be torn apart.

Without exception!

Ross is ready, as long as Reinhardt gives instructions, he will immediately lead people to obliterate any target requested by the Führer.It doesn't matter who that person is or what position he holds!

However, Reinhardt's plan is not what Ross thought.

"Since the Army General Staff likes to change the combat plan so much, I will let them change it enough." Reinhardt said with a sneer unexpectedly.

Patting Rose on the shoulder, Reinhardt instructed: "Let Hans von Manfred and Werther Lee Dawles lead people to pass a reform plan for the Wehrmacht in Congress, and replace the original The headquarters of the army, navy and air force were all downgraded to the combat general staff of the army, navy and air force, and the highest command position of the three armies vacated was handed over to the Supreme Command of the Empire to take over."

Without killing people, you can also achieve the effect of overheading the other party. This is something that Rose did not think of before.Although Reinhardt is still in a state of rage, but in terms of ability to deal with contingencies, the head of state whose soul comes from the East is still much higher than Ross.

Although everyone knows that the Congress of the Empire has become a family of the National Socialist Party led by Reinhardt long after President Albert disbanded and reorganized.However, after all, it is still the Congress in name, which has the power to veto the legitimacy of the Supreme Command.It can be said that Reinhardt is using the existing established rules to achieve the result he most wants.

A year ago, perhaps Reinhardt would have hesitated to make such a decision.If the Army General Headquarters could discuss with Reinhardt before ordering Guderian to stop the offensive, instead of fighting first and playing later, he would not have the will to downgrade those generals to chiefs of staff.

However, after the generals of the Army General Headquarters disobeyed Reinhard's thinking, as in history, Reinhard's determination was made!

If you don't pinch this unfavorable factor after the first signs of things, then when you stay in the bunker in Berlin in the future, you will have no chance to change.

After pulling open the seat and sitting on it, Reinhard let out a long breath and said, "The future battle plans can still be formulated by the general staff of the three armed forces. However, the final decision-making power is in the hands of the Supreme Command ...I will make it clear to those generals that as long as they implement the grand strategy I proposed from a national perspective, I will not interfere with their specific implementation of the combat plan."

Reinhard, who had already confirmed that Paulus had available talents, now had a certain amount of confidence in the feasibility of the battle plan proposed by the high command.After all, Paulus can always make up for the decision of the high command and consider the profit and loss.

"However, in this way, the Army Commander-in-Chief...no, the Army General Staff will definitely arouse strong resistance." Paulus, who understands the character of the Army chiefs, whispered reminded.

"In this regard, I will give Brauchitsch, who represents the face of the Army General Staff, a step down." Reinhardt has changed his name quite smoothly to the former Army General Headquarters: "The Army fought in the early stages of attacking France. On the grounds of his excellent performance in the military, I will promote Brauchitsch, who represents the No.

A slap in the face, and then a candy to eat.Reinhardt's method is actually not so unfathomable. Perhaps many people can quickly see the intention after thinking about it for a while.

However, this is not an important issue.Even if the Army General Command is not so willing to compensate Reinhardt, they have no choice.Anyway, Reinhardt is already determined to demote them. As for the promotion of Brauchitsch as compensation, it's just that Reinhardt doesn't want to make the faces of the army bosses less ugly.

This is the face for them, love or not!

Hearing Reinhardt's arrangement, everyone present felt relieved.
