Although he barely slept all night, only taking a nap at the end of the day, Chen Dao still got up early to meet with Guderian and Rommel, and then set off for a Gothic-style cathedral in the east of Bucharest. Admiral Heinrich rendezvous.

Admiral Heinrich was not tall, and like Chen Dao's old partner Mandolfel, he belonged to the "height of a schoolboy".

Unlike the cunning in Rommel's eyes and the anger that often erupted in Guderian's eyes, Admiral Heinrich's eyes were extremely gentle, and if he were not wearing a military uniform, Chen Dao would almost mistake him for a priest at first sight.

General Heinrich politely welcomed the arrival of the three, and in his witness, Rommel handed over to Guderian the command of the 15th Panzer Division and the 21st Panzer Division.

Chen Dao also introduced Guderian to the commander of Hitler's Youth Division, Major General Mills, who became world-famous for his kidnapping outside Cairo.

The 15th Panzer Division, the 21st Panzer Division and the Hitler Youth Division (motorized infantry division) were formed together to form the Second Panzer Corps. Feng. Lieutenant General Thoma.

William. Feng. Lieutenant General Thomas was the commander of the first German tank battalion in 1934.

In 1936 he was sent to Spain to help Francisco. Franco fought the Civil War and was in charge of commanding all tank units sent by Germany.

With only 4 battalions of 180 tanks No. 1 and No. 2, he dealt with about 200 Soviet T-26 tanks. Not at all lagging behind.

In the Spanish Civil War, General Thoma made his first attempt to beat a Soviet tank with an 88-mm anti-aircraft gun and was an experienced and senior commander of the armored corps.

The 1st Separate Panzer Corps, commanded by Lieutenant General Balk, removed the word independence from its nickname at this time. He also got rid of the fate of being commanded by the 12th Army, and was included under Guderian together with the Second Panzer Army commanded by Lieutenant General Toma, and together formed the Fifth Panzer Army.

After handing over the command of the troops with Guderian, Rommel received a list from Guderian, the names on which were the names of the commanders and division commanders of the armies under the Second Panzer Army, as well as Guderian's introduction to the personal temperament and abilities of these officers.

That afternoon, Rommel carried the list presented by Guderian in his arms. Rushing to the airport in high spirits, he flew to Poland on a JU-52 transport plane to take up his post.

Guderian did not go to the airport to see him off. Rather, they threw themselves into the work of forming the command of the Fifth Panzer Army in full swing.

After saying goodbye to two old friends, Chen Dao rushed to Antonescu's underground combat headquarters to meet the true ruler of Romania in his capacity as the German Führer's plenipotentiary.

Chen Dao followed Antonescu to his office, and the two talked secretly for an hour. With a smile on his face, Antonescu personally sent Chen Dao farewell to the underground headquarters.

In the early morning of the next day, on the streets of Bucharest, citizens who had become accustomed to war life went out of their homes according to the usual rhythm of life and lived their own lives in a step-by-step manner.

The war with the Soviet Union is a hot topic that citizens are most concerned about at the moment, and the best way to learn about the course of the war is through newspapers.

Newsstands and newsboys were surrounded by crowds early, and newspapers for sale were snapped up.

The headlines on the front page of the May 31 newspaper were surprisingly consistent.

The front page of Pravda, Romania's most widely sold daily newspaper. Under the title "Unjust Wars Are Bound to Fail", a special commentator's article was published.

"May 20 is a day of national shame for the Romanian people. Because on this very day, Romania was shamelessly invaded by the Soviet Union.

May 31 should be a day of national celebration and cheering for the Romanian people.

After 11 days of brutal fighting, hundreds of thousands of military and civilian casualties were paid, and a fifth of the country was occupied. The intrepid Romanians finally ushered in the first victory of the war against aggression.

Since May 27, with the cooperation of strong German allies. The Romanian army not only crushed the powerful offensive of the Soviet invading army on the capital Bucharest, but also launched a large-scale counteroffensive.

Under the counteroffensive of the Romanian army and German allies, the 15th Mechanized Corps of the Soviet Army was routed, and the remnants fled in disarray.

The 8th Mechanized Corps of the Soviet Army has been heavily damaged, the remnants of which are surrounded in the city of Buzeu, and the righteous Rhodes are preparing for the final blow to the recalcitrant enemy, and the people of the city of Buzeu, which has been ravaged by the enemy, are about to be liberated

The war of aggression waged by Bolshevism in the Soviet Union was an act of state.

The root cause of this lies in the infinite expansion of the expansionist and plundering ambitions of Bolshevism in the Soviet Union, which is the inevitable exposure of the aggressive nature of hegemonism.

It was the inevitable result of the long-term economic, political, and cultural aggression of the Bolshevist militant clique of the Soviet Union against Hungary, Romania, and even its European neighbors.

No matter what high-sounding slogans the Soviet Union played, it could not hide the fact that it was engaged in an unjust war of aggression that was bound to be reviled by the world

In order to support the Romanian people's just cause of resisting aggression, Germany not only sent the 12th Army under the command of General Heinrich to Romania, but also sent General Guderian, the most famous German army with countless military exploits.

We have reason to believe that General Guderian and the Fifth Panzer Army under his command will smash the Soviet aggressors, exchange their countless corpses for new exploits, and together with the fearless Romanian soldiers and civilians, drive the Soviet invading army out of Romania and burn the flames of revenge into the territory of the invaders.

We would also like to thank our most loyal ally, the German Führer Adolf. His Excellency Hitler, he specially sent the strong force of the German ** team, the Hitler Youth Division named after him, to Romania, and appointed the Polish governor-general, Heinz. Feng. General Rosen as his plenipotentiary to support the Romanian people in their war against aggression"

The newspaper was quickly placed on Chen Dao's desk, and Chen Dao nodded again and again after reading the newspaper.

The combat effectiveness index of the Romanian "pen sticks" is not bad, at least they will not be called the five scum of war, and the article is fairly well written.

First of all, he talked about the victory of the army on the battlefield and boosted the morale of the people, then he routinely denounced the aggression of the Soviet Union, and finally, and most importantly, he publicly exposed Germany's troop build-up to the outside world very "layman".

With Guderian's name, plus the real existence of the Fifth Panzer Army, Stalin and Zhukov must have felt inexplicable pressure.

Coupled with the remnants of the Eighth Mechanized Army, which is besieged in the city of Buzeu and is about to be wiped out, it can completely form a mocking aura.

What kind of reaction would Stalin have with the aura of mockery?

Chen Dao looked up at the east (to be continued)
