Chapter 29: The Unspeakable Truth of History VII

Goering's office was filled with smoke.

Goering sits, Chen Dao stands.

Goering's gloomy eyes kept looking Chen Dao up and down, and Chen Dao held his head high and did not squint.

Goering did not speak, and neither did Chen Dao.

Since the two returned to Goering's office in the Air Force Headquarters building, Goering put out the score of the commander-in-chief of the Air Force and asked Chen Dao to stand in front of him.

Chen Dao stood solemnly in front of Goering for a minute, and then he began to shake when he lost his strength.

Chen Dao shook for less than a minute before Goering was defeated, and he really couldn't bear to see Chen Dao pretending to be weak there with a cane.

Goering was about to open his mouth to ask Chen Dao to sit down, but Chen Dao took the first step to sit opposite Goering, stretched out his right hand and gestured to Goering with scissors.

Seeing the scissor hands shaking in front of him, Goering reluctantly took out a cigar from the cigar box and handed it to Chen Dao, Chen Dao grabbed the cigar, and then waved his bandaged left hand to Goering, Goering glared at Chen Dao angrily, Chen Dao glared back unceremoniously, and after the eyes of the two hit a few fires in the air, Goering took the initiative to retreat and took out a lighter to light a cigar for Chen Dao.

Chen Dao returned victorious, leaning back in his chair and spitting fog at Goering, like a fairy for a while.

"You don't have to sulk, you have the energy to be angry, you might as well cooperate with my plan and make this plan more perfect." Chen Dao spit out a few smoke rings and said.

"In any case, it is impossible to defeat France in eight weeks." Goering looked melancholy, "Fortunately, I have paved the way for retreat from the Führer, otherwise our Air Force would never be able to raise its head in front of the Army." ”

"A way out, a way out?" Chen Dao asked in surprise.

"Do you still remember what we said at the time, this plan needs the full cooperation of the army, if the army is passive and slack, this plan may undergo unpredictable changes, when the time comes, if the war goes well, it is our plan meritorious, if the war does not go well, that is the consequence of the army's passive sabotage, in short, the responsibility is not ours." Goering said smugly.

Chen Dao was speechless for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Can't you be positive?" ”

"How do you want me to be active, like you, saying in public that we can defeat France in eight weeks? What a joke. Goering rolled his eyes at Chen Dao and said.

"That's what I mean, as long as you find a suitable opportunity, in front of the Führer and the army command, and say that we can defeat France in eight weeks, and when the French campaign is over, you will become a new generation of German military gods, and you will be like Marshal Moltke Sr." Chen Dao said.

"Do you think that it is not enough for you to become a laughing stock in the moral world, and you have to make me the object of their ridicule to be satisfied."

"I assure you that we can really defeat France in eight weeks, as long as you can say like me before the war that we can defeat France in eight weeks, then you can really become the new generation of German military gods, and the Führer will therefore value our air force even more, and we will no longer have to look at the face of the army in the future, we only need to say a word, a word." Chen Dao said.

"No, no, no, it's enough for you to say it alone, I won't say it, at least there is room for redemption when they laugh at us in the future." Goering said with a sigh of relief.

"Okay, it's up to you, but you can cooperate with me so that our air force can win more glory in the French campaign." Chen Dao saw that Goering was stubborn, so he no longer insisted on it.

"What do you need me to work with?"

"First of all, I decided to make the Herman Goering regiment a motorized infantry regiment and then join Army Group A in the offensive spearhead." Chen Dao said.

"Motorized Rifle Regiment? Are you sure you're not wrong? Goering wondered if he was hallucinating.

"That's right, it's the Motorized Rifle Regiment, this regiment is named after you, and I think it's necessary for it to get the honor that belongs to our Air Force in the next French campaign, after all, the battle plan to attack France was put forward by us."

"Are you sure the Führer will take your battle plan?" Goering asked.

"100 percent sure." Chen Dao said without hesitation.

Goering took a few puffs of his cigar and carefully recalled Hitler's expression when he heard this plan when he was at the Chancellery today, and felt that Hitler seemed to be really interested in this plan, so he nodded and said: "Well, I promise you." ”

"I lack experience in building a motorized infantry regiment, and I need an instructor from the Army's Armored Forces School to assist me, of course, I must be smart and competent."

"I'll coordinate with the Army on this." Goering said.

"Also, I don't want to use the ragged equipment that the army has obsolete out, and I have some new ideas on weapons and equipment, so I need a few arsenals to match me."

"How many arsenals do you need?" Goering asked.

"Mauser and the Czech Škoda Arsenal, I need their full cooperation."

"A word of things, wrapped up in me." Goering said nonchalantly.

Chen Dao knew that Goering was the head of Germany's four-year industrial plan, and almost all German companies had to act according to his face, let alone factories like the Skoda Arsenal in the Czech Republic.

"In addition, I want Krupp to grant me the right to produce tank No. 4, as well as the rights to produce the Type 251 halftrack from Borgvard."

"What do you want tanks for the motorized rifle regiment?" Goering asked.

"With the support of tanks, the combat efficiency will be greatly improved, which is why I need the Armored Forces School to send someone to assist me."

"Well, it's just my order, what else do you need?" Goering asked.

"Not for now, I'll talk about it when I think about it." Chen Dao said.

"I also have one thing I ask you to do, when you make amazing remarks in the future, say hello to me first, don't let me be too passive."

"Okay."

・・・・・・

A week later, in Warsaw, in the lounge of the German command on the Eastern Front, General Rundstedt, who had just taken over as commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front after the end of the Polish campaign, put down his coffee cup and took a military magazine handed over by the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Manstein.

"He's the same Major Rosen who said he could beat France in eight weeks." Manstein said, pointing to the cover of the magazine.

Rundstedt squinted at the cover of the magazine, and then asked, "What do you think of this statement of his?" ”

"The spirit is commendable."

"That's what young people need." Rundstedt flipped through the magazines casually, and suddenly laughed: "He actually said that the French can only win battles under the leadership of loli and foreigners, what a young man with a great sense of humor, but only in good spirits." He was too young to have fought the French, otherwise he would not have said that the last French soldier had died in battle during the Napoleonic era. ”

On the other side of the lounge, three young staff officers from the Eastern Front Command were also sitting around a white coffee table.

"Is that this Major Rosen said we could defeat the French in eight weeks?" A captain asked, pointing to the cover of the magazine.

"Yes, that's him." The lieutenant, who was sitting to his left, replied.

"Did he really think that he was a military strategist after participating in a few battles? Although we can definitely defeat the French, but eight weeks is not possible in any case, the French are not Poles, they are not so easy to deal with, whether it is weapons or tactical literacy, the Poles are completely incomparable to the French. ”

"There is no value in discussing what a layman says, so let's talk about something else."

・・・・・・

Berlin, in the office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Command, the commander of the German Navy, Field Marshal Raeder, glanced at the cover of a military magazine in disgust and snorted coldly: "Eight weeks to defeat France!" Ignorant. ”

Throwing away the magazine, Marshal Raeder suddenly thought that the aircraft carrier Zeppelin, which had completed 85% of the construction progress, had not yet solved the problem of carrier-based aircraft, and this was all because of those hateful guys in the Air Force who were obstructing it behind their backs. It was supposed to be another two months, and the aircraft carrier Zeppelin could be officially commissioned. But now, due to the shortage of raw materials and manpower, the Zeppelin has been suspended.

Thinking of this, Raeder couldn't help but glance at the cover of the magazine again, and felt more and more hateful that the guy in the Air Force uniform on the cover was hateful. With a "snap", Raeder flipped the magazine over, and the back cover slammed up onto the table.

・・・・・・

Because of the "Eight Weeks" incident, Chen Dao has become a man of the hour in the moral world. Chen Dao was on the cusp of the storm but did not move at all, not paying attention to the strange eyes around him at all.

Standing in front of the dressing mirror in the office, Chen Dao excitedly sorted out the military uniform on his body again. Looking at the colonel's epaulettes on his shoulders, Chen Daoxin said that sure enough, there were people above who were easy to do, and with a stroke of Goering's pen, he was promoted from major to colonel.

The joy of skipping the rank and promotion has long since subsided, and Chen Dao is excited that the instructor seconded from the Panzer Corps School is finally about to arrive today, and according to Goering, he is an army major that he asked for through Hitler, absolutely shrewd and capable, and he is from a military family, so he must be well received.

Chen Dao had just finished tidying up his clothes when his adjutant, Lieutenant Bach, pushed the door in and said, "Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel Mandolfil is here to report." ”

"He's outside the door?" Chen Dao asked.

"Yes, Colonel."

"I'll greet you personally." Chen Dao walked to the door of the office, opened the door, looked left and right but did not see anyone at the door.

"Colonel, I'm here." A voice sounded from under Chen Dao's chin.

Chen Dao looked down at the voice, and the muscles on his face suddenly twitched, whose elementary school student ran out? Chen Dao scolded in his heart.
