Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Chapter 694 The Star Shines - Guderian

So Montgomery quietly dispatched a division of troops to hide near Alamein.

Originally, he just wanted to be prepared, and it was only a division and could not affect the overall situation in Cairo.

Unexpectedly, this division came in handy.

So Montgomery immediately reported the news to Marshal Ironside.

Ironside, who was worried that Alamein would be lost, learned that there was an infantry division in Alamein at this time. He also lamented that God was on his side.

Therefore, Ironside ordered the infantry division to defend Alamein for three days. He would personally lead the reinforcements to rescue Alamein.

The infantry division who received the order immediately promised to defend Alamein and stated that in this battle, he would fight to the end for the glory of the empire.

After receiving the assurance, Ironside immediately ordered the assembly of troops and carried out rescue operations against Alamein.

Montgomery took the lead in the rescue effort toward El Alamein.

The actions on Cairo's side had already been guessed by Rommel. Therefore, he did not panic and directly sent people to intercept Cairo's reinforcements.

As a result, the two sides started another battle around Alamein.

This battle is known as the First Battle of Alamein.

This battle has just begun, and it will take some time to determine the winner.

On the other side, after Guderian and Ludendorff returned to the Hans Empire, Adolf was prepared to put them directly in charge of the Eastern Front campaign.

At this time, the Bupai Republic had officially declared war on the Hans Empire for almost half a year.

Except for the Budapest Republic, which took some advantage at the beginning, the two sides have been in a stalemate in East Prussia and Austria.

Both sides also have their own victories and defeats.

But even so, Adolf was extremely dissatisfied with the commanders on the Eastern Front, so Ludendorff and Guderian returned to Europe.

He needed Ludendorff to defeat the Budapest Republic for him.

In fact, Adolf may never know that the Bupai Republic at this time is not yet his strongest form.

Since the transportation lines were cut off, the current daily production of the Bupai Republic cannot match its consumption.

Therefore, the attack power of the Bupai Republic at this time was not strong.

But in any case, Adolf did not want a treacherous country like the Budapest Republic to continue to occupy the territory to the east of the empire.

Therefore, after discussing with Millerand, he decided to form an expeditionary force, take the initiative to take back the lost areas of East Prussia, and then wipe out the Budapest Republic.

To this end, the Allies formed an expeditionary force of more than 400 million people, preparing to wipe out the Budapest Republic in one fell swoop.

The person Adolf recommended to command the expeditionary force was Ludendorff.

However, Ludendorff was already very old at this time. Continuous traveling back and forth caused him some physical problems and he was unable to serve as the commander of this expeditionary force.

However, before his collapse, Ludendorff recommended Guderian to take over as commander of the expeditionary force.

Guderian was only 44 years old at this time, and he was in the prime of life.

After hearing Ludendorff's recommendation of Guderian, Adolf met with Guderian at the Empire State Building in Berlin and listened to Guderian's views and ideas for the Budapest Republic.

At this time, Guderian was no longer the young officer he was during World War I.

At this time, he had become a general of the Hans Empire Army.

And because Guderian admired large-scale armored combat, before the war, he deliberately studied the Bactrian combat ideas that were the first to apply tanks to actual combat.

Then he combined his own ideas and finally compiled an enhanced version of the "Blitzkrieg" combat theory.

Guderian directly told Adolf that east of the Hans Empire was the vast Eastern European plain, which was very suitable for the operation of large-scale armored forces.

Moreover, the Bupa Republic is now attacking, which has caused the Bupa Republic to gather a large number of people on the border between the two countries.

If at this time, the empire can have an armored force with a very strong breakthrough capability, and with the assistance of the empire's powerful air force, break through the front line of the Bupai Republic, then they can quickly penetrate the entire Bupai Republic.

Guderian assured Adolf that if these requirements of his could be met, he would be confident that he could break through to the west bank of the Dnieper River within a month.

Hearing Guderian's plan, Adolf was a little excited and sighed that this was the way of fighting that was in line with the image of the empire.

The powerful Hans Empire should crush the enemy with overwhelming force.

Therefore, Adolf directly made Guderian the commander of the expeditionary force, and like Rommel, gave Guderian absolute command authority.

At the same time, Adolf asked Fatty Ge to fully cooperate with Guderian.

As the second-in-command of the Hans Empire, Fatty Ge had no dissatisfaction when Adolf asked him to take the initiative to cooperate with Guderian.

Because he knew that it would still depend on him this time whether he could break through the defense line of the Bupai Republic.

At the same time, in Guderian's plan, their air force will always accompany Guderian in the attack.

To put it bluntly, if Guderian could really reach the Dnieper River within a month, then at least half of the credit belongs to him.

Therefore, Fatty Ge will not object to such a plan at all, okay?

The plan was proposed by Guderian. If there are problems, it is not his fault, and if there are any achievements, he is indispensable.

It can be said that supporting Guderian's plan will do no harm to Fatty Ge. He would be crazy to object.

With Guderian's full cooperation from Fatty Ge, he was more confident in breaking through the defense lines of the Republic of Budapest and bringing the war to the territory of the Republic of Budapest.

If he is lucky enough and can cross the Dnieper River before the Bupai Republic reacts, then Moscow will not be far away.

Even if he has no way to cross the Dnieper River, what he needs to do is to hold the west bank of the Dnieper River, and then wait until next year, when the winter of the Bupai Republic passes, he can openly fight to the death with the Bupai Republic.

In any case, as long as the war can be led to the Dnieper River, it will be a great victory.

But one thing Guderian knew very well was that he did not want to attack in winter.

After all, winter in the Budapest Republic is really too cold.

Thinking of this, Guderian also expressed his worries.

In this time and space, Adolf is not as blindly confident as in the original time and space. I feel that the Hans Empire can defeat the Bupai Republic in a few months.

After all, he has now seen the fighting power of the Boupai Republic.

Therefore, he knew that in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers fighting on the front line, it was indeed necessary to start preparing supplies for the winter.

Napoleon, who was extremely powerful back then, also fell under the walls of Moscow, and he did not want to make the same mistake again.
