Hearing Walt's doubts about the deadline, Fang Yan was silent for a moment, and then replied: "According to the information I have, it is very likely that the army will win a big victory before July. If you can put forward the idea of consolidating the authority of the Führer at this time, it will have the greatest effect on retaining your position. Moreover, the matter itself should not be delayed. Every day you finish it will make your loyal follower image more deeply rooted in people's hearts. ”

Watart looked solemn and nodded slowly. He didn't pay much attention to Fang Yan's words in the first half of the paragraph, but it was the later considerations that made him deeply concerned. Now that Hitler has the intention of deposing him, it is precisely because he needs to take concrete action as soon as possible to show his sincere loyalty to Hitler and to the whole party and the whole country. If he didn't have enough time to build up for himself, Hitler would have no scruples about getting rid of himself: W. Watt always remembered that his predecessor Schacht was easily brought down by Hitler because he was too low-key behind the scenes!

"Then Jonas, do I still need to pay a fortune to the Führer as a sign of repentance?" After a long moment of thought, W. Watt asked again.

Fang Yanyi glanced at the cheap uncle who was suffering from gains and losses, and said indifferently: "No need." The Führer will not seriously investigate how much money you have embezzled and what kind of punishment you should receive, all he cares about is whether you are of the same mind as him. You see the propaganda minister Goebbels, whose private life was so corrupt and debauched that his wife Margaret could not bear to sue the Führer and ask for a divorce from Goebbels, but what was the result? The Führer only verbally rebuked Goebbels, but put pressure on Margaret to remain an exemplary couple with Goebbels. Because the Führer understood that Goebbels was absolutely loyal to him, and at the same time his indispensable arm. ”

Wolter breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he can still grasp Hitler's attitude, and he is always very tolerant of the moral conduct of his comrades-in-arms: it's just that Walter is too concerned about that rich family background, and he is confused when he cares about it. Fang Yan looked at the relieved face of Wa Erte, and said mercilessly: "If uncle can get out of the crisis this time, then please fulfill your promise and hand over 75% of your savings to me." I have some future projects that require a lot of money that I can't afford with my existing funds. ”

"Jonas, what is it that you don't even have enough money to meet now? That's almost 30 million marks, almost enough to build a new air defense cruiser! Waelter's mouth was wide open, his face full of astonishment and disbelief. Fang Yan rolled his eyes slightly, spread his hands and said, "I have no comment." I'll take a stand when the time comes. ”

Walking out of the Capitol, Fang Yan, whose net worth suddenly doubled, couldn't be happy. Fang Yan has always hated the worship of gods that distort human nature, but this Pandora's box was opened by him in Germany with his own hands, not to mention the sarcasm in the face, and the resulting consequences are that even he, the initiator, cannot foresee.

Unlike Stalin, the tyrant's sandy foundation, Hitler's personality cult was solid in Germany: the German people had seen the dizzying leap forward in national power and their own lives, and had long regarded Hitler as a savior sent by God. Once Walter took advantage of the great victory in the Battle of France to put forward the so-called "Hitler idea", it would be like casting a spark in a gasoline depot, and the energy it burst would sweep across Germany and even all of Europe. At that time, Hitler, who is high in the clouds, will inevitably become the pope living in Berlin, will he still be able to listen to dissenting opinions, and will Fang Yan still be able to persuade him to give up the genocide that exists?

"But I don't have a choice, do I?" Fang Yan muttered to himself. Now he can only take one step at a time, build up his strength first, and then act according to the situation. Thinking of this, Fang Yan decided to complete his existing mission first, he stepped into his car, and then drove it into the traffic of the streets of Berlin.

As the sun approached and the sunset turned crimson, a military Junkers transport plane slowly emerged from the clouds over the small town of Koblenz in western Germany, and the roar of three powerful engines resounded all over the wilderness. Residents of the town have become accustomed to the scene: since the "Tower" hotel in the center of the town was requisitioned by the army last month, and the surrounding 300 meters were designated as a military exclusion zone, dozens of planes have taken off and landed in the suburbs every day. Now, even mud-legged farmers who have been farming for many years have no interest in these flying machines.

Aunt Juncker flew lower and lower, and finally landed smoothly on the flat airport runway, and with the door escalator lowered, Fang Yan's tall and long figure walked out of the cabin. Looking up, I saw an army lieutenant in gray military uniform running briskly towards him from the edge of the runway, and a camouflage convertible off-road vehicle was parked more than 100 meters away, which was the "bucket" of military vehicles that Volkswagen had only begun mass production for the army at the beginning of this year.

"I'm Lieutenant Gruze, communications officer at Army Group A headquarters. Dear General Brom, General Rundstedt is at the headquarters at this time, please come with me. The young army lieutenant bowed solemnly to Fang Yan and spoke. Fang Yan nodded, followed the person in front of him to board the car, and with the screeching noise of the engine, the military horse born from the Beetle galloped in the direction of the town.

As the central garrison of a large army group, the perimeter of Koblenz was heavily guarded. Fang Yan rode through seven checkpoints in a row in a military vehicle before finally seeing the three-story hotel building in the center of the town that had been requisitioned. Walking into the place that was originally the main dining room, Fang Yandan saw that the space of more than 200 square meters was divided into several areas in an orderly manner, and all classes of people such as communications, maps, and logistics were busy in it like butterflies, without any sense of chaos. And by the window, several army generals were standing in front of a sand table and discussing something fiercely. Combined with the photos in his memories of his previous life, Fang Yan had already recognized those people in a moment.

"General Brom, welcome to Army Group A to fight with us. Allow me to make a brief introduction: I am the commander of Army Group Rundstedt, the commander of the Panzer Army, Kleist, and the commander of the 3rd Air Fleet, Kesselring. This time you came to the aid of naval aviation, and the entire army group rejoiced, because it meant that we were one more solid step closer to victory. ”

The old and thin Longdstedt smiled at Fang Yan, his expression and words were like a spring breeze, Fang Yan didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately saluted the person in front of him and thanked him respectfully. As an elder who was sincerely praised by Manstein as a man of high moral character, Rundstedt was not only gentle and gentle, but also a shining banner in the army. He was already an army general as early as 1932, and his seniority was the deepest among all active generals, and considering that the German Army was only 100,000 at that time, and even a major general position had to be squeezed by countless heroes to fight for, Rundstedt's professional talent was beyond doubt.

Although Rundstedt's complete lack of interest in politics led to him missing out on the throne of Commander-in-Chief of the Army twice, he had no less powerful influence in the Army than anyone else. Therefore, in Fang Yan's plan, Rundstedt undoubtedly needs to be vigorously fought for, and getting his support is equivalent to pulling a large number of his subordinates into his camp.

Under the leadership of Rundstedt, Kleist and Kesselring also greeted Fang Yan. There was a hint of estrangement in their tones, but they were generally friendly and amiable. Fang Yan realized that these two guys were completely unimpressed by the role of themselves and the arrival of the two carrier-based aviation regiments, but they still had a lot of concern for their reputation: after all, Fang Yan defeated the Royal Navy, which had dominated the ocean for three hundred years, and this heavy gold content was by no means comparable to their previous slaughter of the Poland that threatened to calm the Dudu and was actually a weak chicken. However, this is also expected by Fang Yan, and only by coming up with some dry goods can these army elites look at them differently.

"The general battle plan, I believe you have already learned from the High Command. This time, our army is taking the armored army as the vanguard and taking the lead in advancing from the mountainous areas of Azu, so all aviation forces will escort the armored army in the first stage of the campaign, and the carrier-based aircraft unit under your command is exactly like this. Rundstedt spoke gently, facing Fang Yan's tone with a hint of inquiry, "Well, considering that the overall size of the two aviation regiments under your command is limited and the land combat experience is relatively lacking, I plan to ask you to take charge of supporting the 4th Armored Division under the 7th Armored Army first?" Wait until the army has broken through the Maas River, and then you will be given another appointment. ”

Hearing these words, Fang Yan's good impression of Rundstedt that had just risen in his heart instantly shattered like a mirror. He scolded the old fox and rolled his eyes countless times.

Others may not know, but Fang Yan, who has been separated from the German center for many years, knows very well: among the 10 armored divisions under the current jurisdiction of the army, the 7th armored division is the most motherless wild baby. Because it was not the Army General Command that was organized step by step according to the existing plan, but a group of men and horses that Hitler had abused his command power to forcibly order the Army to pull out.

As early as October 1939, after the end of the Polish campaign, Major General Erwin Rommel, then the head of the Führer's base guard, was fascinated by the rapid advance of the armored forces on the Polish plains. He was no longer satisfied with being a high-ranking bodyguard at the Führer's side, and was eager to be on the battlefield like the rest of his colleagues. When Hitler once asked Rommel about his thoughts, Rommel did not hesitate to say that he wanted to be the commander of the Panzer Division, and Hitler, who had always valued Rommel, wanted to give him a better stage to shine, so he agreed to his request.
