My Third Empire

In Yuan's office, Akado was losing his temper in front of Augustus, Krupp and others. △￠four △￠five △￠zhong △￠The army dared to obey his orders, this situation was the most intolerable for Akado. Because the history of another world left him a lesson, that is, the contradictions and grievances between Hitler's Supreme Command and the Army General Command directly caused the collapse of the German frontline.

When the generals of the army suggested that Hitler retreat, it was his persistence and stubbornness that led to the assassination of Hitler by the army when it invaded France, planting the seeds of mutual distrust. It also led to the destruction of the elite 6th Army under the city of Stalingrad.

In short, such a sign must be killed in the cradle. If it is allowed to develop, it will become an inducement for failure. Although it cannot be seen at the time of victory, once it encounters a defeat, it will make Germany, a huge war machine. Complete breakdown.

Has Brauchitsch lost his mind? That old idiot Bock is doing the same thing! Is the Army General Headquarters trying to take away my power and then take my life to be satisfied? Ah Cardo frowned and said angrily.

Yuan, pay attention to your words and deeds. Augustus squinted his eyes with a cup of strong tea. Ever since a Chinese friend presented a batch of high-quality tea leaves to Yuan Mansion, Augustus had to drink a cup of strong tea every time he came. I really like this lingering taste. However, like a Chinese poet, he can know the name of the year and place of origin with his tongue, which the German chancellor can't do.

They have turned a deaf ear to my orders! They have begun to obey me! Modify my plan at will, change the combat plan at will... This is a national battle! Because this group of people dragged their feet and lost the war, they finally had to I will bear this responsibility alone! Akado knocked on the conference table, getting more and more excited as he spoke.

Augustus smiled, glanced at Krupp, who was silent like a clay bodhisattva, and said again: My Yuan, your words and deeds represent the people of Greater Germany. It is the unique currency of the whole country, so please exercise restraint—the matter is far from unmanageable, and according to my opinion, there is actually nothing complicated behind all these incidents.”

Akado let out a deep breath, leaned back on the back of the chair, glanced at Augustus, and said, Tell me.

First of all, the Army General Command did not intend to betray you.

You can easily see this from the form of their commands. Augus pointed to the order issued by the general headquarters: The above is just an excuse that there is no fuel, so that the various troops can delay the attack speed. This is because they want the armored forces to advance steadily, but dare not disobey your orders, so they issued such an order.

In addition, the French army's counterattacks on the flanks have indeed become more frequent and violent. Augustus pointed to the map and said: I am mainly responsible for politics and economics, and I don't invest much energy in the military. It can also be easily seen on the map that our Army Group A goes deep alone, and the possibility of being flanked by front and rear is very high.

He smiled, and then continued: If I were Marshal Brauchitsch, I would be more cautious, because the four armored armies in the hands of General Rundstedt are the only capital we have now. If something goes wrong, we won't even have a chance to play at the table again.

This plan has been demonstrated repeatedly. If it weren't for the frontline troops to respect my orders and have a more active fighting spirit, then we are already facing the most difficult situation! Akado tapped on the map and said : According to Brauchitsch, Guderian's armored forces should still be waiting for supplies near Stone!

Look, my Yuan, since you also agree that this is not a provocation to your personal authority, but just that the people below are worried about some tactical issues and made some improvised compensations on the spot, this problem is very easy to solve. Augustus stood up, walked around the negotiating table, walked in front of Akado, and put a report in front of Akado.

Then he pointed to the report, and said very seriously: The National Assembly has officially passed a Wehrmacht reform plan. The Greater German Party and the reorganized parties passed unanimously. The command structure. The original general headquarters of the navy, army and air force were all downgraded to the combat staff.”

This is the difference between a seasoned politician and a practical person like Akado, or this is the gap in political skills between the two. Augustus used the emptied Congress to pass a bill without bloodshed, vetoing the legitimacy of the Supreme Command, so that these invincible commanders did not have the power to directly change the Yuan order. It is even difficult for these generals to do something similar to this time. After all, they are no longer commanders but only chiefs of staff.

In this way, they are only responsible for drawing up plans and putting forward their own opinions on Yuan's combat intentions. They have no right to interfere with the combat facts of the frontline generals, which ensures the implementation and execution of Yuan's orders. Augustus looked at Aka. Duo said: However, I suggest establishing a combat assessment organization in the Supreme Command to fully discuss the feasibility of the combat plan proposed by you, so as to avoid unnecessary losses due to poor consideration.

I understand this. Of course I will refer to the opinions of the generals, and I will not go my own way. Akado nodded, obviously very satisfied with Augustus's approach.

Augustus looked at the others, then stood back on his seat, changed his tone and continued: Then there is another question, the army performed well in attacking Poland, so as the first man in the army, Blau General Hitch was promoted to Marshal. There is no problem with this matter, but the problem is that Marshal Brauchitsch is a Junker nobleman. Although he has always been loyal to Yuan, some ambitious people are still using his identity to mess around. Make a chapter...

He glanced at everyone present, coughed twice, and then said again: Everyone naively thought that he would be the so-called No. 2 person who could succeed Yuan in power. This is a big mistake—— Because everyone here understands that if Yuan leaves here, then Germany will immediately perish. It is not a state of peace of mind, on the contrary, the demise and glory of the whole of Germany is within a single thought.

So I propose that we each go to the military to talk to people, and then the military will select a reasonable list, and promote a general with a clean background to be promoted to marshal, breaking the singleness of Marshal Brauchitsch, and Let those people know that Brauchitsch is not a unique meta-double. Augustus said here, with a smug smile on his face.

Akado had no choice but to applaud Augustus's real ultimate move. For the Army General Command, which was somewhat out of Yuan's influence, it was simply a draw from the bottom. Once the second marshal appears, Brauchitsch's status as a marshal will no longer be so unique, and those Junker survivors who hope to make use of Brauchitsch's Junker aristocratic status will not be able to make trouble anymore coming.

Akado can guess what happened next. The army will select some generals. After some operations, General Bork will definitely be on the list, and then he will lose the election. This is a reminder and warning in disguise. Tell General Bock, let him think about whether he should stand firmly on Yuan's side the next time he stands in line.

This trick hit Brauchitsch and taught Bock a lesson, and it directly discredited the two most prestigious generals in the army. If they are more sensible, then there will be a day of comeback in the future. If they continue to question Yuan, What awaited them was the fate of retiring to the second line—two staff officers, who could be replaced at any time.

However, this was only the second blow in a series of punches struck by Augustus, a mature politician. Although clever, it was far from the end. Waiting for the applause to end, August sat down, and then continued to speak slowly: Of course, in order to stabilize the morale of the army and strengthen Yuan's control over the frontline troops, I suggest that we reserve some obedient generals for the future. For example, this time, we can Promote generals Guderian and Rommel to lieutenant generals by rewarding military exploits, and order them to form and command a new army group based on their armored corps after the war.

This is the finale of Augustus' tailor-made military reorganization plan for Akado. The first is to destroy disobedient departments, then the promotion of generals to check and balance each other, and finally control the frontline military power to maintain stability. The rings are intertwined, and there is no mess, which is perfect.

Akado nodded, but did not speak. I just opened the report and looked at it, then raised my head and glanced at all the people attending the meeting. He was no longer angry because of Augustus's method, and just asked with a chuckle: What do you think of this plan? ?”

I agree with this plan. Krupp spoke for the first time after entering the meeting room, his tone was firm and unquestionable.

Merkel nodded: I also agree with this plan.

Agreed! Everyone nodded.

Augustus nodded in satisfaction. He knew that in Berlin and in the military, Accardo, as the German currency, still had the same deterrent power, which is why he dared to come up with an integration plan. What he needs is a powerful empire with the heart of the world, and what he wants is the halo of reviving Germany - in order to become a great prime minister like his grandfather Bismarck, no one can stand in front of him.
