As a result, the next day, I didn't see the herbivore when I woke up in the morning, and I didn't see him at breakfast. Of course, I didn't have the cup of coffee he gave me every day. I must be messing with me.I suffocated and told Hein to convey my order to the herbivores and finish all the documents for this period of time before I come back.I admit that the task I assigned to him exceeded the quota, but it was only a little bit, definitely only a little bit!After setting up the task, I changed my clothes and went out for a run. I planned to warm up after running and go for a winter swim.

After I finished swimming, wandered around outside for a few laps, and wandered back to the headquarters, I discovered for the first time that the herbivores had not completed the task. I was so happy that I almost jumped up!Take a look, the most workaholic herbivore will fall into my hands one day!I was thinking about how to deal with him, when Hein leaned close to me, and said in a low voice, "Um, uh, General, can you not blame General Paulus. I think he is a little sick today, It's uncomfortable."

"He told you?" I was taken aback for a moment, suddenly feeling strange in my heart.

"No, he doesn't admit it, I can tell." Hein's answer made me very dissatisfied. I think it's just his family's words:

"Nonsense! Are you colluding?"

As I said this, I turned to the herbivore house by the way, trying to see if he was faking illness.But as soon as I went in, I found that Hein was not lying. The face of the herbivore was very pale, but his cheeks were red, and he had a fever.He was wearing a coat, lying in front of a pile of documents, looking at them seriously, stopping to rub his temples from time to time, coughing constantly, probably because he had a fever.Hearing the sound of me going in, he raised his eyes and saw that it was me. He stood up and saluted me.I noticed that he didn't smile at me warmly as usual, but turned his eyes away from me. The atmosphere in the room was awkward and weird.

"The work isn't done." Such an atmosphere made a thick-skinned person like me a little embarrassed, and I squeezed out this sentence dryly.

"I'm sorry, I'll speed up now." The herbivore said, coughing violently a few times, his face flushed.He made me feel like I was abusing him, and I was very upset.So I stepped forward to grab him and put my hand on his forehead. It wasn't very hot, but the temperature was definitely not low either.I don't know why there is a tinge of pain in my heart. In order to cover it up, I glared at him and yelled at him in a vicious voice:

"Don't you know how to take medicine when you're sick? What kind of workaholic are you pretending to be?!"

"I'm fine." The herbivore was trying to be brave, and he looked very stubborn. I hated him for being so stubborn. I always felt that he shouldn't be so stubborn.

"I don't care what you say, the facts speak for themselves." As I spoke, I stuffed a thermometer into his armpit. He didn't hide from me, but he didn't look at me either. He just leaned over the table and looked at the documents.My heart burst into flames, and I simply pushed all the documents to the ground:

"What are you looking at? Do you know that you are sick? Are you so stupid that you don't know how to lie down and rest?"

He ignored me, just bent down to pick up the documents, he seemed to be dizzy, and his whole body shook for a while.The strange feeling in my heart became more and more intense, and I couldn't help but stepped forward to help him.He froze for a moment, then shook off my hand, pulled out the thermometer and threw it aside.I snatched it quickly with sharp eyes and hands, and it was 38 degrees, which was still a low-grade fever.I threw the thermometer away and asked him directly, "Have you taken your medicine?"

He just nodded and said nothing.I became more and more annoyed: "Are you dumb?"

He still ignored me, and was still writing something on the table, not a document.I looked intently, and there was a line of big characters on the top of the white paper—Application for job transfer!My face suddenly changed, and I saw a few words sporadically, but it was enough to make me furious: "...I apply to leave the post of the Army Group and transfer to the General Staff..."

"Where the hell do you want to go?" I tore the application form and tore it into pieces.The herbivore looked at me coldly, exuding a ubiquitous air-conditioning all over my body.He didn't stop me, but just took out another blank piece of paper indifferently, and continued to write the words "transfer application letter" on it. I tore it off angrily, and he wrote again, and I continued to tear it, and he continued to write... We went back and forth like this several times until the ground was torn to pieces.The herbivore finally stopped writing. He put down his pen and coughed, his cheeks were flushed. I stood at a loss. It took a long time before I remembered to pour him a glass of water. He refused to take it, so I stubbornly poured him Pushing it with his hand, he blocked it back, half a glass of water spilled on his clothes between back and forth.I feel more and more at a loss. No one has ever refused my concern like this. If Hein is sick, I just ask a little, and he will probably be so excited that he will recover immediately.I've never seen a herbivore react like this before, I don't know how to deal with it, it seems like he hates me, but we had just had sex the day before.Could it be that he is still angry about what happened the day before?It looked like a good possibility, so I sat down next to him and continued sweet-talking, thinking I'd always get everything done like this:

"Friedrich, don't lose your temper with me anymore. Look at you, such an illness is so distressing, please take a good rest. If I knew that you were ill this morning, I wouldn't let you take it away Sick and working. Tell me more about things in the future, it’s not good to be bored like this..."

"Thank you General Reichenau for your concern." The tone of the herbivore was cold and indifferent, which made me very uncomfortable.The more he is like this, the more I want to make him smile and make him as gentle and gentle as usual:

"Come on, Friedrich, do you remember the two days when you went back for vacation? During that time I couldn't eat in the morning because I missed you. I couldn't eat in the afternoon because I missed you even more. I still can't eat at night because I miss you so much. I can't sleep at night because..."

"Don't say you still miss me." The herbivore finally spoke up, which was a good sign.I grinned:

"No, because I'm hungry."

"Pfft!" The herbivore laughed, and I was so happy that I hugged him hurriedly:

"Okay, okay, laugh, laugh, so don't be mad at me."

But when I said that, he pursed his lips again and fell silent.I didn't feel bad in my heart, but facing his indifferent expression, I couldn't vent my anger and wanted to leave but was very unwilling.Fortunately, Hein told me that Guderian had come to see me, which finally gave me an excuse to leave.As I walked, I asked Hein to watch the herbivores take medicine, which scared that boy Hein half to death, as if I was the one who was sick and convulsed.

Guderian came to me to talk about the latest speech.He is now under the command of Lundstedt, and I feel sorry for him having to work with Manstein.I have also heard what he is going to say. Recently, Minister of Propaganda Goebbels, Air Force Commander-in-Chief Goering, and the Führer himself have made consecutive speeches, declaring that "air force generals, under the leadership of Comrade Goering, are absolutely Reliable; naval generals can also be trusted, but the party does not dare to trust the generals of the army." This is of course an insult to the army. He scolded him head and face.According to an aide close to him, the Führer commented on me in private: "Reichenau had better do less with diplomacy, and put more effort into the reorganization of his armored forces, and think about the best way to make the The armored units are fighting again. He now knows how to keep saying the opposite, saying that the armored units are unable to fight again due to various reasons such as the start of the war and the serious wear and tear of the tracks!"

Now that Guderian complained to me, I was very happy to hear him complain to Rundstedt: "I really can't bear such insults, so I went to the chief of staff of the army group as soon as I heard the news." Manstein talked about this. He agreed with me that the generals should not be silent about such a big insult. But he said that he had already talked about this with the commander-in-chief of the army group, but the old man But he refused to meddle in his own business. Manstein suggested that I go and talk to General Rundstedt, and I went, but they said he could only talk to the commander-in-chief of the army. I told him clearly He said that the most important person accused by the head of state is the commander-in-chief of the army himself, so it is best to find someone else to explain directly to the head of state and ask him to withdraw this unfair accusation. I have no choice but to continue to visit other people, but everyone seems boneless and refuses to take any action, so I have no choice but to come to see you, you must have a way to persuade the head of state."

I couldn't stop laughing to myself: This guy Guderian was obviously tricked by Manstein, and Manstein, that cunning man, pushed his own responsibilities away completely, why did he agree with him, why did he agree with him a long time ago? Lundstedt talked about it, and it was probably all an excuse. The ghost knows that he didn't talk to anyone, and it was Lundstedt who was willing to take the blame for him.While Guderian was still trying to persuade me to talk to the head of state, I laughed twice: "Just let me go, I have already quarreled with the head of state over this matter, and there is absolutely no way to talk to him again .”

"What?" Guderian was taken aback, and I rubbed my nose in self-deprecation: Do everyone think that I should have such a good relationship with the head of state?

"It is true, General Guderian, but I agree with you. As a member of the army general, we must let the head of state understand the feelings of the army general about this incident. I think you should go there yourself and have a good talk with the head of state. talk."

"But I am the most junior of the army commanders. There are many old seniors like you in the army. How dare I speak on behalf of all the generals?" Guderian's evasion made my teeth ache, so I simply raised my hand A wave interrupted him from speaking:

"This is for everyone's benefit, so don't shirk it anymore. Wait for me for a few minutes, and I will call the Prime Minister's Office and ask the head of state to meet you."

After I finished speaking, I went directly to the phone, and the matter was settled in three to five minutes. I quickly sent Guderian away and went back to see my herbivores.When I went to see it, Hein told me that he had been given medicine to sleep, so I just tiptoed to the door and looked at it, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but this feels weird, and I don't like it at all .

The process of the talks between Guderian and the head of state soon reached my ears. I heard that the head of state faced Guderian's doubts and said that all this was just "a problem of the commander-in-chief of the army alone." A proposal was made for a replacement of the Commander-in-Chief.The head of state immediately asked about the candidate in his mind, and he was very interesting. He was the first to mention me, but the head of state refused: "That is not considered." When I heard that the head of state said this, his expression was very unhappy. His position before him was at stake.Moreover, it seems that I have missed the position of commander-in-chief again. This is the third time, and I am afraid that I will not have another chance in the future.Thinking of this, I suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of depression, and I needed someone to comfort me.As I thought about it, I jumped up and walked over to the herbivore.

When I went in, the herbivore was talking to several staff officers, with a gentle expression and a warm smile.But as soon as he saw me coming in, his face was covered with a layer of frost, and his warm smile disappeared, replaced by a formulaic indifference: "General Reichenau, do you have any orders?"

Looking at him like this, I became more and more depressed. Recently, everything seems to be going wrong for me. Whether it is the relationship with the head of state or the relationship with herbivores, I have fallen into a trough.The staff officers next to me saluted me in awe, I sent them out lazily in return, and sat down in front of the herbivores.The herbivore seemed to dislike me very much. They lowered their heads and completely ignored me. They just kept telling me, "If you have nothing to do, go away. I haven't finished my work here."

I just felt more and more oppressed in my chest. The lukewarm attitude of the herbivore towards me was very different from before. I glared at him, but he didn't look at me, he just read the documents one by one.I looked at him in frustration for a long time, and couldn't help but sighed deeply.Probably never seen me sigh before, the herbivore finally raised its head and glanced at me.My shadow was reflected in his bright eyes, which made my breathing tight. I suddenly reached out and pulled him into my arms, hugging him tightly, as if only this could fill the empty part of my heart.He was frightened by me and tried to struggle, but I hugged him tightly and didn't allow him to leave.I rested my chin on his shoulder and began to murmur to him about the pain of my missing the position of commander-in-chief again and again. He was still struggling and probably didn't listen carefully, but I didn't care, I just needed to talk, It needed to be said, so I kept talking, not noticing that he stopped struggling and let me hold him.

"Am I ashamed, Friedrich? This is the third time." I muttered, not sure if I was asking him or talking to myself.

"You did a good job, it's just a little bit of luck. Take your time, it will be fine in the future." The herbivore patted my back lightly, soothing and gentle.I felt more and more wronged in my heart, and couldn't help but hug him tighter.

"They all bully me, they all oppose me! How can I be worse than those pretending nobles?"

"Yes, yes, you are not bad, you are better than them all."

"Friedrich, you're so kind." I rubbed my head on the herbivore's shoulder, sniffing his refreshing smell, and felt a little better. "Do you think I'll be the commander-in-chief in the future?"

"How would I know that? But I will support your decision."

"Friedrich, you are so kind to me." My mood began to clear up, I raised my eyes, and touched the cheek of the herbivore, "Don't be awkward with me, okay?"

The herbivore smiled lightly and didn't answer me.But since this time, the relationship between me and herbivores seems to have eased a little, and I no longer look at each other so coldly.But sometimes when I hug him and hug him, he basically avoids it. I think I probably scared him that day.But occasionally I still get angry at him because of his avoidance, and ask him if he hasn't forgiven me yet, but he just smiles and never answers directly.He started the life of staring at the map every night again, pouring coffee for me as before, but if I touched his hand when I took the coffee, he would always avoid it as if he was facing a big enemy. I am very frustrated.Sometimes I ask him if he hates me, but he still smiles, I hate his attitude to death, and when I get excited, I will grab his collar and ask him, insisting on asking.But in the end he always lowered his eyes silently. I could see a touch of fear in his eyes. Once he did this, I would feel faintly uncomfortable in my heart. I couldn't bear to treat him cruelly, so I could only silently let go.
