Chen Dao and Goering returned to Karin Manor and immediately entered Goering's study to plot.

Goering asked, "What are we going to do when we have a meeting the day after tomorrow?" ”

Chen Zhi couldn't help but want to say "cold salad", but the words changed when they came to his mouth. The heart said that he couldn't let his brother-in-law be discouraged at this time, after all, he was his biggest backer.

"Very easy to do. Eloquence is silver, silence is gold, you just have to be silent. If the Führer insists that you speak, I will prompt you. ”

"What if they want you to speak?" Göring asked worriedly, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'll teach you a trick, and when you encounter a similar situation in the future, you won't ask me a question that only a rookie can ask." Chen Dao said.

"Stunt!" Goering was immediately interested, "Tell me quickly, do you need me to write it down?" ”

"No, this trick can only be memorized by heart, not with a pen. Listen, I'll just say it once. ”

Goering sat upright and pricked up his ears, lest he miss every word Chen Dao said.

Chen Dao saw that Goering put on a modest posture of listening to his ears, so he began to talk nonsense in a serious manner: "There is a passage that says: You are the first to be the law with him, and he is the one who tells you the policy; You talk to him about policies, and he talks to you about public opinion; You talk to him about public opinion, and he talks to you about national conditions; You tell him about the national situation, and he reasoned with you; You reason with him, and he plays with you; You play ** with him, and he ** with you. ”

After Chen Dao finished speaking, he asked, "Do you remember my words?" ”

Goering frowned and was silent, breaking every word Chen Dao had just said in his heart, chewing it and savoring it, and finally came to a conclusion.

"The name of your trick is sophistry, right?" Goering asked.

"No, the name of this stunt is called dialectic, and it can also be called an asymmetrical attack or a misalignment attack. Specifically, when we are faced with a civilian military strategist like the Führer who has only read a few military books and has never attended a military academy, we must give full play to the advantages of our military academy background and strong professional ability, and talk to the Führer on professional knowledge, and never sensationalize, because we are no better than the Führer's literary and artistic middle-aged people. ”

"Literary middle-aged? This is the nickname you gave to the Führer? Goering asked gossipily.

"It can be understood that way." Chen Dao nodded and said.

"According to my understanding, when we face those officers of the army who have come from military schools and have strong professional ability, do we have to compare ourselves with them?" Goering said thoughtfully.

"You can also play **." Chen Dao corrected. "At least in terms of land warfare, our professional capabilities cannot be compared with them, so we can only use the method of dislocation strikes against them, do you remember?"

"Tomorrow there is one more day, and I will carefully study the dialectic you mentioned." Goering said.

On January 19, on the way to the Prime Minister's Office. Chen Dao looked at the road outside the car window and asked inexplicably: "This is the way to the Prime Minister's Office, and the meeting place has been changed?" ”

"Yes, the meeting place has been changed to the Prime Minister's Office, don't ask me why, I don't know." Goering said.

"I guess the Führer is not worried about the plans we have made and wants to intervene himself."

Chen Dao guessed that the French campaign was a battle that decided the fate of Germany, and Hitler really did not dare to let go of his marshals and generals, so he changed the venue of the meeting to the Chancellery, and he wanted to preside over the meeting himself.

In the conference room of the Chancellery, Chen Dao, wearing the uniform of an Air Force colonel, sat side by side with Goering on Hitler's right hand, watching Halder point to the map with a whip in his hand to explain the new version of the battle plan.

After Halder's explanation, Hitler said: "This Manstein-Rosen plan. As soon as Hitler's words came out, he saw a puzzled look in the eyes of the army officers led by Brauchitsch and Halder.

Hitler knew the reason for this, and explained unhurriedly: "Long before I ordered the Army Headquarters to draw up the yellow plan, Field Marshal Goering and Colonel Rosen proposed to me the idea of an operation with the Ardennes Forest as the main breach. Later, General Manstein independently developed a similar battle plan. Because Marshal Goering was very generous and did not care about false names, I named this plan the Manstein-Rosen Plan. ”

How could Goering still have this ability? The army officers looked at Goering. The questioning gaze converged on Goering's face, and Goering couldn't help but feel a little weak, but fortunately, the eyes of the army officers did not linger on his face too much, and then turned to Chen Dao, who was sitting beside him.

Chen Dao ignored the gaze of the army officers, and stared calmly at the glass on the conference table in a daze, as if he was appreciating and cherishing cultural relics.

Because of Hitler's guarantee, Halder would certainly not be stupid enough to question Chen Dao to his face, which would be tantamount to questioning Hitler's credibility.

As the discussion began, I wanted to test the strength of Colonel Rosen to see if he was really gifted or a thief who came to steal his reputation, and Halder made a decision.

"You're all reporting to me about your respective tasks and how you are going to complete them? General Rundstedt, please begin. ”

Chen Dao glanced at the oldest general in the conference room, and said in his heart that the head of state actually used honorifics to him, this old man should have something extraordinary, and he should be careful in the future.

After Rundstedt explained the tasks of Army Group A in a concise and concise manner, the commander of the Fourth Army, Kruger, was next.

When the commander of the 12th Army, Liszt, and the commander of the 16th Army, General Bushi, finished explaining their tasks in turn, Chen Dao was already drowsy. Except for a few nouns such as the Ardennes Forest, the Maas River, and the Sedang, Chen Dao did not know anything about the various place names and troop numbers they mentioned. Because he was sitting too close to Hitler, Chen Dao had to fight hard and pretend to be concentrated.

Out of the corner of Chen Dao's eyes, he saw that Goering was staring at the map on the wall, looking serious, but his eyes did not have the slightest agility, obviously distracted.

Chen Dao listened to the explanation of a veteran named Kleist in a trance, and said in his heart, who is next? Is there any end to it?

Seeing the last person standing in front of the map, Chen Dao felt every cell in his body cheer up, because that person was Guderian.

"The 19th Panzer Corps, which I lead, will be divided into three columns through Luxembourg and Belgium. On the first day of the offensive, I would pass through Luxembourg and break through the Belgian army's defenses into southern Belgium; The next day I will reach Laufchatt; On the third day I will reach the Wave Wheel and cross the Simmons River; On the fourth day I will reach the Maas River; On the fifth day I will cross the Maas River and establish a bridgehead on the opposite bank. ”

"And what are you going to do in the future?" Hitler asked.

"Unless I receive other orders, I will continue to march westward, and the High Command should decide whether I march to Paris or to the English Channel, and I personally think that I should march to the English Channel."

Hitler nodded and said no more.

Silence returned to the conference room, and Guderian wanted to return to his seat when he saw that no one was asking any more questions. At this moment, an abrupt voice broke the silence of the conference room.

"I don't believe you can break through the Maas River."
