Chapter 49: The Bandit's Christmas Syndrome Season 1 V
"I don't believe you can break through the Maas River."
Guderian looked up and saw that it was the commander of the 16th Army, Admiral Busch, who was speaking.
Guderian's eyebrows raised, and he was about to speak, but a loud voice preempted him.
"The Maas is nothing more than a small ditch in front of the German gate, which we can cross with a lift of our legs."
Guderian turned his head to look and found that it was Colonel Rosen, whom he did not know.
Chen Dao smiled and nodded to Guderian, and then said to Admiral Busch: "Don't say that there is only one Maas River, what is France?" We can beat it in eight weeks at most. ”
As soon as Admiral Bushi's voice fell, it attracted Chen Dao's attention. Chen Dao thought to himself, who was so pessimistic that he dared to oppose Guderian nakedly?
Chen Dao recalled it carefully, and finally remembered that the general with a big golden back was General Bushi, the commander of the 16th Group Army.
Thinking that Guderian is Mandolfel's old superior, he can be regarded as his own person no matter how he says it. Chen Dao took the initiative to speak up for Guderian.
See the Eight Weeks of Theism, can't you keep a low profile? Goering bowed his head in pain, and said to himself how Heinz, who was usually so smart and clever, was always dizzy on this issue.
"Colonel Rosen, with what confidence do you think we can defeat France in eight weeks?"
Halder had long been eyeing Chen Dao, and when he saw Chen Dao once again publish the theology of "defeating France in eight weeks", he immediately asked.
"Quite simply, I'm by calculation. I think Army Group A will be able to reach the English Channel in about three weeks at most, and work with Army Group B to destroy the enemy fighting in Belgian territory. After the Anglo-French forces fighting in Belgium were destroyed, the French were no match for us, and we could destroy the remnants of the French army and occupy what was left of them in five weeks at most, and the war was won. Chen Dao said.
Halder was disappointed, and thought that Colonel Rosen had some lofty opinions, but turned out to be an idealist.
Göring was keenly aware of the look of disappointment and contempt in Halder's eyes, and when he remembered what Chen Dao had said, he opened his mouth to help: "We must despise the enemy strategically, but we must attach importance to the enemy tactically. Therefore, you must be cautious in implementing the Manstein-Rosen plan, and you must not fail strategically because of tactical negligence. ”
Chen Dao immediately followed Goering to make up for Halder, "If the Army Command can be more cautious in formulating tactical details and bold in execution, I think France can be defeated in six weeks." ”
Army Commander-in-Chief Brauchitsch said: "Colonel Rosen, you are not Sherlock Holmes, do not think that what you are thinking, the enemy will do. ”
Halder said, "Colonel Rosen, there can be no idealism in war, the enemy will not follow you. I suggest that you better correct your idealistic views, otherwise your idealism will harm not only yourself, but also naval aviation and the Herman Goering motorized rifle regiment if the war starts. If you rely on idealism to command the troops, they will definitely suffer a lot of unnecessary losses. ”
Halder was already furious at this time, what does it mean to be "cautious"? What does it mean to be "bold"? According to the logic of your little colonel, if Germany cannot defeat France in six weeks, is it because the army has made a plan that is not careful? Don't be bold when you execute it?
Halder still had some scruples about Goering, and he didn't pay any attention to Chen Dao, an unruly little colonel, and attacked Chen Dao mercilessly.
Damn, you guy with an old lady's mouth dare to say that about me, Chen Dao scolded in his heart.
Forcibly holding back the anger in his heart, Chen Dao said calmly: "Thank you for reminding me, General Halder, I will pay attention to correcting my shortcomings." Why didn't General Manstein come today? He is also the author of this plan, and he should be present at this meeting. ”
Hitler said: "Today are the commanders of the Army Command and Army Group A. General Manstein had been transferred to the post of commander of the 38th Army and was no longer part of Army Group A, so he did not participate. ”
"On the eve of the war, the chief of staff of Army Group A, which was in charge of the main attack, was transferred from his post, and this chief of staff was also the person who formulated the battle plan, could there be some inside story in this?" Chen Dao said in a strange way.
"No, General Manstein is extraordinarily talented, and being transferred to the rank of army commander is also a promotion, how can there be an insider?" At this time, Goering already understood that Chen Dao was going to strike at Halder in a misplaced manner, so he took the initiative to cooperate.
"It is a pity that General Manstein was so envied because of his extraordinary talents, and that he was kicked aside on the eve of the Great War and could only be a poor bystander." Chen Dao said.
"Jealousy is an original sin, it will only appear in women, not in soldiers, you don't think too much." Goering saw that Halder, who was sitting opposite, was already trembling with anger, and he made up the knife mercilessly.
"Marshal, I also have a kind reminder." Brauchitsch also felt Halder's anger, and when he saw Goering and Chen Dao pouring dirty water on the army headquarters in harmony, he took the initiative to fight back.
"This plan is excellent and bears witness to the extraordinary skill of General Manstein and Colonel Rosen. But we must do a good job of secrecy, and not be sent to the Belgians like the yellow plan, otherwise we will have to ask General Manstein and Colonel Rosen to formulate a new plan. ”
Before Brauchitsch could finish speaking, Chen Dao saw that Goering's face instantly turned red, and then turned purple.
Chen Dao immediately remembered the leak of the Yellow Plan that happened not long ago, and two Luftwaffe majors, Reinberg and Hirschmann, violated discipline by carrying the Yellow Plan on a plane, but they lost their way and landed in Belgium due to bad weather, and were captured by the Belgian army. It was precisely because of this leak that the Army Command was forced to cooperate with Hitler in adopting Manstein's plan.
Chen Daoxin said that the old guy Brauchitsch seemed kind, but he didn't expect to give Goering and the Luftwaffe a resounding slap as soon as he made a move. It is necessary to teach him a lesson.
"Hmph," Chen Dao sneered a few times, "I knew you would talk about this." ”
"Marshal Brauchitsch, you don't know yet, this is a plan planned by Marshal Goering himself. Reinberg and Major Hirschmann were carrying a fake battle plan for strategic deception of the British and French. I didn't expect even you to be deceived. ”
Goering's spirit was shocked, and he immediately remembered the dialectic method taught to him by Chen Dao the day before yesterday, and said in his heart that Heinz should now apply the dislocation strike method of "you tell him about leaking, and he plays ** with you".
Looking around at everyone, Goering saw that not only Brauchitsch and Halder, but also Hitler had a shocked look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but admire it even more, and made up his mind to study this kind of dialectical art that was enough to turn black and white upside down and confuse the public.
"Herman, is what Heinz said true?" Hitler asked half-incredulously.
"That's right." Goering struggled to adjust his facial muscles and squeezed out a wry smile.
"Out of secrecy, I originally wanted to wait until after the end of the French campaign to announce this, but I didn't expect Heinz to be so excited that he ・・・・・・・ look at Heinz's hand, he is still too young and easy to be impulsive."
Hitler looked at Chen Dao and found that Chen Dao's hand holding the water cup was trembling, and he immediately believed Goering's words.
Hitler said in his heart that what his old comrades-in-arms said should be true, and at the beginning he was still wondering why those two majors would fly into the air in such bad weather, and were they not afraid of crashes? Now it seems that all the questions have been answered. It's just that why didn't his old comrade-in-arms inform him in advance, and he reprimanded him for this matter.
Under Hitler's notes, Chen Dao managed to resist the urge to smash the cup on Brauchitsch's head, and retracted his trembling right hand under the table.
Damn, it's happened again, and it's over? Chen Dao found that his bandit heart was beating violently again, and he hurriedly cheered up and suppressed the destructive ** in his heart.
"Marshal Goering had really good intentions for the victory of the French campaign, and I was disrespectful. How long do you think we will be able to beat France? Halder asked suddenly.
Goering said that you are using such a little trick to embarrass me? Laughing and about to speak, he heard Chen Dao say first:
"Marshal Goering thinks the same as I do, that we will be able to defeat the French in eight weeks at most."
Goering's hands hanging under the table twitched involuntarily a few times, then clenched into fists.
"Marshal, you think the same way?" Halder asked.
Goering's face turned red again, and after glaring at Chen Dao, Goering loosened his fist with difficulty, put his hand on the table, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said without a trace of emotion: "I also think that we can defeat France in eight weeks at most." ”
Hitler stared at Goering in amazement, as if he could not believe his ears.
The Army officers stared at Goering in unison, and an eerie silence fell into the room.
"General Halder, how soon do you think we will be able to defeat France?" Göring asked rhetorically, pressing his hands into fists on the conference table.
"It's going to be a little bit longer than eight weeks." Halder said.
"That just shows that you don't have a strategic vision. I will say one last time, in eight weeks at most, we will be able to finish off France. Chen Dao clutched his chest and said loudly.
"What if you can't?" Halder asked.
"If we cannot defeat France in eight weeks, I am willing to resign from all military positions to punish me for my misjudgment of the war situation, and at the same time to punish me for my excessive trust in the Army. If you remember what I said, we will be able to defeat France in eight weeks, and if not, there is only one possibility, because your army has not done its best. ”
・・・・・・
On the way home, Chen Dao clutched his chest and tried to restrain the restlessness in his heart, and Goering stared out of the window of the sedan with a gloomy face. From time to time, the driver looked at the two of them through the rearview mirror, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
When she walked into the villa, Amy was playing with a few maids in the hall on the first floor teasing Ida, and when she saw Goering and Chen Dao coming in, she hurriedly greeted her.
Goering nodded with a calm face and whispered to Chen Dao, "You come with me." ”
In Goering's study, as soon as Goering waited for Chen Dao to enter the door, he slammed the door on the ground, pointed at Chen Dao and roared, "What do you want to do?" Do you have to make me a clown in the moral world, you are willing? You used such an unseemly trick to force me to say that kind of thing. ”
Goering paced up and down his study like a trapped lion, "Do you think it is possible to defeat France in eight weeks?" I really can't figure it out, why do you keep struggling with this? Was it hypnotized? Or was it stupid to be blown up by a Polish shell? Do you know how serious the matter is today, and in the future, we in the Luftwaffe will never want to raise our heads in front of the Army.
You even bet on your military position, do you know that your current height is beyond the reach of many people in a lifetime, and you are so frivolous to bet it, if you don't want to do it, tell me as soon as possible, I can find a hundred people to take your place at any time. ”
Chen Dao leaned on the sofa with his chest and said slowly: "You'd better not talk to me like this, and don't force me to confide in me, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”
Hearing Chen Dao's words, Goering was furious, rushed to Chen Dao, pinched his waist with one hand and pointed at Chen Dao with the other, and shouted: "I only have this attitude, I am not afraid of any consequences, you had better confide in me as soon as possible, and also tell me what you want to do?" Lest I always be so passive. ”
Damn, I couldn't bear it anymore, Chen Dao straightened up, got up from the sofa and stood in front of Goering, and smashed his fist on the wall next to Goering.
"Do you think you wouldn't be a clown without today's events? You don't look in the mirror yourself at your favorite outfit, with long leather boots, a cowhide tunic, wavy sleeves, a Robin Hood hat, and a spear, who do you think you are? Robin hood?
And the clothes you wear at home are even more disgusting, the long silk pajamas are just that, you actually rub powder on your face, and you also apply blush, I almost forgot that there is also that disgusting red nail polish, is this what men should like?
Don't talk about me, do you know what your image is in the eyes of others? People in the army say behind your back that you can only be a battalion commander at most, and people in the navy say that you are an actor. Is it because of me? Is it because of today's events? ”
Chen Dao smashed his fist on the wall every time he said a word, and the snow-white wall was soon stained with blood.
Goering was a person who had been on the battlefield, and when he saw Chen Dao's pale face and blood-red eyes, he keenly felt a murderous aura rushing towards him.
"I'll tell you what I want to say now, what am I doing on the battlefield for? What did I go to all the trouble to gain fame in the Navy? You thought it was just for a cuckoo plan? And why should I start a company with you? You think I'm just here to make money? You remember to me that everything I do, including today, is to make my sister's husband a respectable person, and I don't want my sister's husband to be pointed at behind his back. If you weren't my sister's husband, I'd kill you. ”
Goering was shocked by Chen Dao's momentum, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he pointed at Chen Dao with a pale face in annoyance and trembling, and then shouted screaming: "You ・・・・・・ you go for me, I don't want to see you again, you go, right away, now." ”
"You are responsible for your words today, and it won't be long before you come to me." Chen Dao then opened the door and walked out.
The door slammed shut, and Goering's body shook. Staring at the door in a daze, Goering then sat down on his chair with his desk and gasped for breath.
"Squeak", the door was suddenly opened, Chen Dao leaned out, pointed at Goering and ordered: "After I leave, don't take morphine, that won't do you good." After speaking, Chen Dao exited the study and closed the door.
Goering looked at the door in a daze. Rolling up his sleeves, Goering couldn't help but touch his left arm, which was riddled with pinholes・・・・・・
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open again, and Chen Dao leaned out and pointed at Goering and said, "At least not today." After speaking, Chen Dao slammed the door and walked away.
Goering stared at the door, expecting Chen Dao to appear again. As if a century had passed, the door opened again as Goering had expected・・・・・・
