Seven Hundred and Sixty-Seven, Tell Me Carefully

"I am very glad that you can come to the front line and inspect the progress of the front line battle in my army. My head of state." Marshal Rundstedt led the way in front, and introduced the preparations for the army's attack to Akado.

His troops have advanced 40 kilometers in front of Konev's 1st Guards Front Army. Obviously, the troops in Konev's hands are not the opponents of Rundstedt's Army Group A at all. of the crash.

Now he can be said to be really proud of his spring breeze. Unlike the first field marshal of the army, Brauchitsch, he and Rommel are the two field marshals who are really working hard on the front line. Commanding the Imperial Army Group A, under his command more than 100,000 elite soldiers with astonishing combat effectiveness.

Compared with the infantry-based Group M Army temporarily formed by Manstein, the entire new Group A Army is more like a super modern armored corps. There are countless cars and armored vehicles, and they are still advancing close to the railway line. Not only are the army's number one tank killer Wittmann and other super-strength factions in charge, but also the first batch of new weapons deployed on the front line: the King Tiger tank.

Of course, Lundstedt's record is also fully worthy of the political strength of this army group. Within a few days of launching the offensive, the elite armored forces of Army Group A surrounded Baranovic from both wings, and when Akado Holland was furious, as an action to support the head of state, they captured the Soviet Red Army-controlled area. traffic center.

After occupying here, Army Group A attacked along the railway to Stolbzy, and included the Belarusian military city of Minsk into its attack range. His attack also caused a large-scale contraction of the Soviet frontline army. Zhukov used The motley crew replaced the elite Konev Guards 1st Front.

"With the mine removal vehicle, our army's advance speed has increased a lot, and the casualties have also decreased. The air force has started to fight because of the better weather. Our situation has never been so good. The Soviets are constantly retreating." Lun Destedt walked forward, and all the soldiers on the opposite side stood at attention, looking at their commander and the great head of state behind the commander with admiration.

"Long live the Führer!" A soldier blushed, and excitedly stood at attention in front of Akado, then stretched out his arm, so that it fell on the face of the platoon leader beside him. After that, he glanced at his platoon leader in embarrassment, and then became more nervous and at a loss.

Acador laughed and walked over to the soldier, bypassing the two SS officers responsible for his security. He waved to Anna and the other attendants behind him, and said gently: "Don't worry, don't be so nervous. If I am killed by the enemy among my soldiers, then this country will never need me again. "

After he finished speaking, he looked at the soldier, the platoon leader beside him, and the rows of frontline officers and soldiers behind them: "You say, is that so? When I stood with you, did you still Is there any danger?"

"I... my Führer.

"The platoon leader who was almost hit in the face by his own arm just now was obviously very excited. After he stood at attention, he stammered and replied: "You...you said...yes, we, we will always swear to the death...to defend to the death , to protect your safety. "

"Calm down, my brave soldiers, don't you dare to stand with me and say a few words if you dare to face the enemy's bullets directly?" Akado's words annoyed Rundstedt and everyone present Everyone laughed in good faith, and the atmosphere suddenly became more lively.

Akado stretched out his hands, helped the soldier straighten the Iron Cross Second Class on his chest, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, don't be too restrained, you not only want to protect my safety , but also to protect the safety of the entire empire."

Then he turned around and said to Anna and Fanny who were behind him: "I'm standing here and taking a picture of me and my soldiers. I was like them in 1919. One of them, at that time my country was defeated, and I had to walk a path that I had never taken. Now, I stand here with the strongest million-strong army in the world, another twenty years , Maybe among these soldiers, someone will take over my burden and lead this country forward."

A group of reporters swarmed up, pointing their spotlights at Akado and the soldiers behind him. The lights flickered, and everyone was surprised to find that each of the soldiers behind Akado straightened their backs. chest.

Napoleon said that "a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier", but Akado used his actual actions to awaken every soldier's desire to be a general. These soldiers may eventually die on the battlefield, perhaps until the day they retire as a platoon leader or a battalion commander. But their blood is boiling at this moment, and they will firmly believe that they can do better in the future, just like their head of state, and do better.

"My head of state! It is my greatest honor to be able to work under your command." Standing beside Akado, Rundstedt posed for a photo with his hands behind his back, and then complimented him softly.

"Don't be too humble. In fact, I have always been thankful, fortunate to be able to work with you outstanding commanders and these heroic fighters." Akado also raised a few points in accordance with the requirements of the person in charge of the image of the Propaganda Department. Chin, and then said to Rundstedt: "I was a little sloppy when I did it in the Netherlands, didn't it affect the front line?"

"My head of state, this is why you rushed back to the front in such a hurry. Please rest assured that every soldier in the empire is on your side." Rundstedt said firmly.

Akado looked back at Rundstedt, and then said: "Don't be so confident, my general. In fact, Dirk is also a general of the army, and he is not on my side."

"From the moment he forgot his loyalty to the Führer, he was no longer a member of the Imperial Army." Rundstedt replied: "Anyone who is not loyal to the Führer is the Army, and it is me personally." enemy."

Akado and Hitler have one of the most essential differences, that is, he hardly dictates to his generals. He knew that in fact the frontline commanders of the German army had good talents, and interfering with them would only have the opposite effect.

But he is also from the military. He has his own roots in the old Wehrmacht, or in the new Imperial Army. This is also an incomparable advantage for Hitler, who was born as a corporal. When German nobles talked about Hitler, they used to call him "that corporal", but when they mentioned Akado they had no choice but to call him "that general".

What makes the grassroots soldiers feel more cordial is that Akado was born in the most grassroots soldiers. He made meritorious service in World War I and even received awards such as the Iron Cross. This made him more popular with the grassroots soldiers. If the military took any action against Akado, the grassroots soldiers would be the first to become restless.

It is precisely because he has good habits and incomparable roots in the military that Hitler did not have, so Akado will trust his army and will not interfere with his army. The advantage of doing this is that he was immediately rewarded. Almost everyone in the top army generals is grateful to Akado and maintains a good relationship with the head of state.

Rundstedt, Keitel, Model, Rommel, Manstein, Kluge, Guderian. Almost all the generals trust and worship Akado, and regard him as their god. They fought with the weapons manufactured and developed by Akado, which proved to be the best in the world; they arranged their tactics according to the overall strategy drawn up by Akado, and they always won afterwards. So they stood firmly by Akado's side, supporting the head of state as if they were supporting God.

After the photo session was over, Akado waved to the soldiers with a smile, but what he received was a forest-like German salute. The soldiers shouted Akado's name, and it could be seen from their eyes that they were willing to shed blood for the head of the empire, they were willing to die for the head of the empire, and they were willing to fight to the last moment for the head of the empire.

"Akado, my head of state. I like you more and more now, what do you think I should do?" Fanny was wearing a fashionable sweater and coat, and her face was rosy because she was busy. She walked to Akado's side, and said softly in a charming tone: "How did you think of it when you were in the Netherlands? With such a simple method, you can manipulate public opinion?"

Akado really wanted to tell this enchanting woman like a ripe forbidden fruit that in the world he was in, manipulation of public opinion was much more professional than it is now, and it was also much more crazy. There are ugly women who jump out of the disgusting people to gain fame, and there are also cases where a trivial matter is magnified countless times to deceive the eye. In short, the moves that are shown now are too childish for people in the era of media explosion. scene.

However, the head of state is still very intoxicated by the feeling that beautiful women worship him. He smiled and bragged to his propaganda minister, his face unchanged and his heart speeding up: "In fact, I have many other means of propaganda. Let me tell you together."

"I was very busy during dinner, so I probably don't have time to listen to your high-level speech on media development." Fanny glanced at Anna with some regrets, then suddenly leaned towards Akado, and added in a very small voice. : "But I have nothing to do after 8 o'clock in the evening, how about I go to your room to find you, and you and I talk about the development of the media in detail?"
