Cold sweat broke out on Kruger's head at once, now he was unarmed, and even the only gun was confiscated before entering the conference room, he was crying, his upper and lower jaws and teeth were obviously fighting, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yuan...... Führer, I ...... But...... But...... Always loyal to you. ”

"Loyalty? That's how you're loyal to me? Hoffman did not pay attention to the poor Krueger, but turned to Kruger's right-hand man, Major General Henning von Treskov, chief of staff of Army Group Center, and said, "Arrest this traitor." ”

Before everyone could react, three wolf-like guards had already swarmed up and grabbed Treskov with his backhand, and seeing that he was still struggling, Major Genscher went over and punched him in the abdomen, and he curled up into a shrimp in pain, blood could not help but flow from the corners of his mouth, and stared at Hoffman with hatred.

"General Treskov, the core figure of the famous rebel organization, I heard that you organized more than 3 assassination plots against me, but I didn't expect to be arrested on such an occasion, right?" Hoffman smiled contemptuously, the advantage of the traverser is good, according to common sense, these people will not be exposed until after the 720 incident, but he can find them out one by one now, "Guard, go outside and carefully inspect his purse, beware of bombs." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the development of events had exceeded their ability and imagination, but in the face of the muzzle of the MP38, no one dared to move.

After a while, Major Genshe ran over and reported the fact that a time bomb had been found in Treskov's purse, although the sound was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly, Hoffman only felt that the hairs on his back stood up one by one, if he hadn't made up his mind to take out this tumor and made proper arrangements, he might have been reimbursed today, then he would have become a ghost who had died unjustly.

As soon as they heard that there was a bomb, the faces of the rest of the congregation turned white—I don't know how many casualties a bomb would cause in such a closed place! Fortunately, the Führer discovered their plot.

"Führer...... The Führer......" cried Kruger at him, "I didn't agree to be part of their plot." ”

"So, you admit to knowing about their conspiracy?" Hoffman smiled coldly, "Kruger, if you really dare to join the rebel organization, I still respect you as a character, but you are a poor worm who has no shame and no value if you dare not report their conspiracy to me, nor dare you participate in their conspiracy!" Drag me down and hold him in prison for Himmler to interrogate! ”

Kruger's face turned pale with a "brush", and Major Genscher did not greet him politely, and tore off his collar and epaulettes when he came up, and the poor marshal trembled and wept with unspeakable remorse.

"Who among you is their co-conspirator, and consciously stand up, can be less implicated." Hoffman's cold gaze swept through the crowd, no one spoke, no one moved, and certainly no one dared to make eye contact with him, and the air seemed to freeze.

"Won't you stand up? Then I'll take the name, Friedrich Albricht! With Hoffman's shout, the guards swarmed and arrested the infantry general who served in the Supreme Command. This guy may not sound like a good name, but Hoffmann knows what he is very good at - he used his position as the head of the office of the Army General Headquarters and the head of the reserve armed forces of the Supreme Command to install a large number of members of the conspiracy organization in various departments of the Army Headquarters, and also formulated a plan to rely on the reserve army to carry out a military coup d'état and occupy Berlin. But he was also a bachelor enough, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he honestly tied his hands and arrested him, without the slightest struggle, and he didn't even say a word to defend himself.

Everyone gasped, but they didn't expect to catch another one. Marshal Keitel, Chief of the General Staff of the Supreme Command, was pale and convulsed, and the Führer actually caught such a high-ranking rebel under his eyelids, he only felt that the sky was about to fall.

Amid Treskov's cursing, Kruger's pleading, and Albricht's silence, the guards escorted the rebels to evacuate quickly, until the door of the conference room slammed shut, and everyone's hearts were suspended.

"The meeting continues, General Weix, do you still disagree with the new position?"

Now Weix didn't dare to say a word, shook his head mechanically, and sat down honestly, but he didn't have much to listen to what Hoffman was going to say next, and his mind was all about the rebel group: Treskov's capture was definitely a bombshell, he worked for two commanders of Army Group Center, Bock and Kruger, and Marshal Bock was still his uncle, and perhaps he had already organized a conspiracy network, and if nothing else, Army Group Center would soon set off a climax of purging the conspirators. The thought of taking over Army Group Center and the fact that Himmler and the SS would have to intervene made his brain ache.

Even Wicks was silent, and naturally no one else would stand up for Paulus, not to mention that everyone's minds were all on the conspiracy group, and they did not dare to question the Führer's decision, and the subsequent personnel appointments were naturally adjusted, and Manstein not only took over as the commander of Army Group B, but also served as the commander of the 6th Army. Lieutenant General Ferdinand Schellner, commander of the Nineteenth Mountain Army and conqueror of the Greek conquistador, was unexpectedly appointed commander of the 2nd Army - a purely infantry army with up to nine divisions and one brigade, and apparently not present he was given a good job, and as was customary, he was able to move up the ranks. Hoffman has a far better understanding of Schellner's abilities and loyalty, and this seemingly insipid personnel adjustment opened the prelude to a series of adjustments to his core commanders on the front.

Now through personnel and deployment adjustments, everyone has understood the overall situation, in the Eastern Front 180 divisions (including more than 20 Axis Little Brother Divisions), the southern flank accounts for the majority, with 96 divisions, and in the two army groups A and B that make up the southern flank, Manstein's B Army Group accounts for 60% of the troops, and even directly commands the 6th Army, which has the strongest assault force and has up to 14 elite German divisions. However, he also felt that the Crimean conqueror was worthy of this position.

After the announcement of some other scattered personnel appointments and dismissals, the Chief of the General Staff, General Zeitzler, began to explain the strategic policy of the Eastern Line in the previous stage. In just one night, he turned the strategic intentions described by Hoffmann in two words yesterday evening into a meticulous and reliable adjustment of military deployment, only to see him pick up the whip and go down paragraph by paragraph on the map: "According to the instructions of the Führer, in the next six months, the troops under the command of the Eastern Front Command will be stabilized at the current level, and unless there are special circumstances, there will be no new army divisions. Technical weapons will be replenished according to emergency situations. On the whole, in the coming months we will adopt an offensive and defensive approach, focusing on the destruction of the Russian living forces rather than the seizure of strategic points, in the hope that, through a year of adjustment and replenishment, we will be able to gain an overwhelming advantage over Stalin next year while opening up the situation strategically on the southern front. ”

"Southern Strategy?" Everyone was puzzled, in addition to the Eastern Front and the Western Front, now there is another Southern Front?

"The commander-in-chief of the Western Front was Marshal Rundstead; The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front was concurrently held by the Führer himself; The commander-in-chief of the Southern Front was Marshal Kesselring, and General Guderian succeeded Marshal Rommel as commander of Army Group Africa. At Zeitzler's signal, Guderian stood up and briefed the crowd on the general situation of the strategy on the southern front. Everyone is not surprised by Guderian's reactivation, so many things have happened today, even if there is an unexpected order, they will not be surprised, and many people are still glad that Guderian does not come to the Eastern Front to make trouble. However, when they heard the order of the Senate to send 2 armored divisions and 3 motorized infantry divisions from the Eastern Front to reinforce the Afrika Kops, everyone, especially the commanders of several army groups, had a toothache like a convulsion, and no one wanted such a thing to fall on their heads. But now it seems that this knife is inevitable - who let the southern front have oil resources? Zeitzler's attitude was very clear: Army Group Center and Army Group South each transferred one armored division and one motorized infantry division, and Army Group North contributed one motorized infantry division.
