Chapter 633 Military Rank
Reinhardt needs to be temporarily wronged.
The reason is actually very simple, that is, when Reinhardt executed those traitors, he was too horrified, so many people were directly roasted to death.
Roasting to death is not the same as burning to death. Burning to death is that the fire directly covers the whole body. Although it is very painful, it will not last for too long. At most ten minutes, the person will be gone.
It's different after being roasted to death. The fire below is not very strong, and it is smoked up by hot air. It is said that a few fat guys have been roasted to the point of oil before they die.
They were tortured for three or four hours before they lost consciousness. I heard that the whole city of Berlin was filled with the smell of barbecue.
This is too cruel, how can the tolerant and generous Cyric Führer endure it?
When the Fuhrer Cyric came back, he severely criticized Reinhardt. Although those were rebels, they also wanted to talk about human rights. Just give a bullet, why do you want to execute the death sentence like that?
Reinhardt was severely criticized for one pass, and at the same time, the merits and demerits were equalized, neither reward nor banishment.
Reinhardt is quite clear in his heart that Cyric did this, of course, to create a great image of the Führer. It can be said that when Reinhardt took over this task, he knew that he was doing dirty work. Damn, maybe it will be pushed out as a shield.
But Reinhardt didn't care.
The fact that the head of Cyric said this means that he is more respectful of himself. Only with his cronies can he have such an attitude.
Reinhardt can be sure that the President of Cyric is quite satisfied with his action. After all, the President invented the roasting man, but it was in a small circle at the time, but he let the whole country , people all over the world know how they treat traitors.
This will greatly shock those people, let them know that against Germany, they will die, and they will die badly. They may not be afraid of death, but they are absolutely afraid of death like this.
At that time, Reinhardt was ready to be pushed out by Cyric as a shield. Even if he was fired, he was not afraid, because it would not be long before he would rise again.
"Sorry, Führer Cyric, what I did was a little ill-considered," Reinhardt said.
"Well, if you know what you're wrong, just change it, that's fine." Cyric said, "I originally planned to raise your rank this time, but now, you can keep your original rank for the time being, as a punishment for you, and you will do things in the future. Be thoughtful."
"Yes." Reinhardt had no dissatisfaction in his heart.
"According to the record, first of all, for the promotion of field marshals, there are currently two," Cyric said. "Karl Rudolf Gerd Rundstedt, William Baldwin John Gustav - Kettle."
For any German soldier, being able to make a marshal is the supreme honor, and now Cyric will promote these two men.
Among them, Lundstedt is still on the front line. Although he was not as good as Guderian and Rommel in this invasion of France, he was the commander of the army group.
And, most importantly, he is also a veteran of the Junkers officer corps.
Clean up those conspirators, and at the same time promote their old qualifications, be kind and powerful.
The other, Keitel, was also a senior, and was at Cyric's side at this time.
Keitel was convinced by Hitler's charm, and since then he has been loyal and loyal to Hitler's military advisor. At the same time, after Hitler's death, he became Cyric's diehard, and he has absolute command of Cyric's ability. He could ask questions before Cyric made a decision, but when Cyric made a decision, he was absolutely obedient.
That's what Cyric wanted, someone as old-fashioned as Rundstedt and loyal.
Historically, Keitel was the one who accompanied Hitler to the end, and even was sentenced to hang. When he was hanged on the gallows, there was no hesitation, no hesitation, no fear. In his brain, his belief was extremely firm.
He has not participated in any rebellion in the army, and even this time, he took the initiative to cooperate and directed a deceitful scene together, deceiving the rebels into circles.
For such a loyal person, Cyric certainly did not hesitate to promote him.
Hearing Cyric's words, sure enough, Keitel's eyes lit up. He didn't go to the front line, he just served as the commander-in-chief of the Joint Command of the Three Armies. He really didn't expect that he could be promoted to marshal like this !
The veteran who participated in the First World War, a veteran in the army, moved his lips and shook his beard. He stood up and said, "Thank you for the promotion of the Fuhrer."
"This is what you should. In the future, you must continue to serve the empire and make more plans for defeating the enemy." Cyric said: "You are already a veteran in our army, and you must take the lead."
"Yes." Keitel replied loudly.
"Next, it's about the promotion of generals," Cyric continued.
The marshal is an honor. Although some of his subordinates have achieved the standard of a marshal, the qualifications of these people are still too shallow to be promoted too much by leaps and bounds. Therefore, Cyric only intends to be promoted to general. .
(In fact, this level of military rank in Germany should be more appropriate to be called a first-level general, but there are also direct translations into generals in China, so for the sake of brevity, the hero of East China is referred to as a general.)
"Among them Guderian, Rommel, Schörner, Manstein..."
After talking about the army, Cyric continued to say that the navy and the air force were promoted.
Having said this, Cyric continued: "When the French campaign is over, in Berlin, we will hold a grand ceremony to inspire our soldiers to fight, and at the same time, I will also announce that we will establish a higher empire. The rank of marshal."
According to the German military rank standard, it is almost a major general-lieutenant-general-admiral-general (first-level general)-marshal. In fact, this marshal corresponds only to the military marshal, such as field marshal, armored marshal, naval marshal, etc. .
Therefore, there should be a level above them. Cyric designed a new military rank, called Imperial Marshal.
This imperial marshal should correspond to the Soviet marshal, a six-star general in the United States. The marshal of this level is higher than the military marshal and is the highest honor of the imperial soldiers. At the same time, Cyric also specially designed a large iron The Cross of Medal comes as a sign.
