"It's not our king who has given a death order, and he must let me eat your 128th Division, saying that this will allow Britain and France and other countries to regain hope of defeating you in Norway, so as to send additional troops to support Norway!" Anthony said angrily, "Originally, I planned to go home after packing up the heavy equipment you discarded. ”

"Of course, in addition to the king's death order, I am also responsible, I mistakenly thought that you did not have troops to support the 'retreating' 128th Division, so I followed the king's order with luck." Anthony said with a little frustration, "I really didn't expect that you would directly airdrop the combat troops of the southern front across the entire Norway to the northern front, otherwise I would have disobeyed the order and would not have pursued your 128th Division." ”

"I see." Manstein nodded in realisation and said.

"By the way, General Anthony, after this battle, if you were to evaluate our troops, what would you say?" Manstein asked with interest.

Because the opponent's advice to himself is always the most pertinent.

Anthony thought for a moment when he heard this, and then replied solemnly: "Your combat method is very peculiar, completely breaking the single fighting of individual arms in previous wars, but combining multiple arms to fight. However, it stands to reason that it is generally impossible for a coordinated operation between multiple arms of the armed forces to succeed, because each branch of the armed forces has its own commanders, its own traditions, and its own operational guidelines, and this will cause all kinds of problems in the coordinated actions between the various arms. But this problem does not arise at all in you, and the combination of land, sea and air is so perfect as if they were one in themselves! ”

"Maybe I can sum up your way of fighting in three words." Anthony looked directly at Manstein and said slowly, "That is, 'three-dimensional'!" ”

"That's right! Three-dimensional combat! Manstein applauded happily, "It was our Führer who created this set of tactics, and he also used the word 'three-dimensional'!" ”

"This, this set of theories was actually created by your Führer?" Manstein's words for you surprised Anthony, who never imagined that such a powerful and advanced combat theory could be created by a politician.

"Yes!" Manstein said with admiration on his face, "The Führer is our most powerful master of strategy and tactics, and I really don't deserve anything in front of him!" ”

"I really want to meet your Führer now, and I want to see what kind of person he is, who can not only bring your country back to the top in just twenty years, but also create such an advanced combat theory!" Anthony said with a look of fascination.

Because of Germany's advanced strategic and tactical concepts, coupled with seeing through the stupidity of the Norwegian high-level, Antony's hatred of Germany dropped by a large margin, which made him full of favor for Manstein, and he also had the urge to meet with the head of the enemy country.

Maybe this is the sympathy between masters.

Of course, Leon is actually not a master, and the reason why he came up with various combat concepts that have made countless famous generals bend their waists is entirely because he bought a lot of stalls in his previous life and watched a video of a certain outrageous bureau.

And the reason why Lyon can run the empire so well is because he has seen a lot of themes about the Third Reich and is proficient in how to govern the Third Reich.

However, the people of Germany did not know this, so Lyon was the "chosen son" in their hearts, specially sent by God to save Germany.

"You want to meet the Führer? Absolutely. Manstein said excitedly, "To be honest, I came to visit you this time to ask you to join us. ”

"Plus, join you?" Anthony said in surprise.

"Yes, join us." Manstein said sincerely, "With all due respect, although your country's current troops still have the strength to fight a war, with your country's high-level command ability, the situation in Norway can actually be said to be decided, and judging from the current speed of our troops' advancement, it will only take a week at most for your country to be defeated, which must be very clear to you." ”

Anthony was silent for a while when he heard this, then sighed, nodded in frustration and said, "Yes, our troops on the northern front have been exhausted, and the remaining remnants are impossible to block the attack of your Twelfth Army from north to south. Moreover, your Sixth Army has already landed on the line from Kristiansand to Larvik, and with our troops of several divisions on the southern front, we are not even able to fight back. ”

"You won't be like this on the Southern Front, won't the Polish Allies assist in the defense of the Southern Front?" Manstein asked with a smile.

"Polish allies? It's just a group of defeated soldiers, who are fleeing in a panic on their own soil, let alone on ours? Hmph, I guess it won't be long before your POW camp has 50,000 more Poles! "Actually, the most important thing is not the army, but the growing number of Quisling elements in the country, who are the root cause of the country's loss of hope." ”

"This country is completely finished!" At the end, Anthony let out a long sigh.

"Yes, the country is already corrupted, which is why I invited you to join us and rebuild a new Norway with us." "If you join us, you will learn the most advanced strategic and tactical concepts and command the strongest army in the world!" ”

Anthony listened to Manstein's words, and a hint of intention appeared on his face, if the advanced tactical combat concept and strong army of the German army could not attract him, it would be false, after all, for a general, it is the most wonderful thing to be able to command the strongest army in the world.

But Anthony still shook his head and refused: "No, we are opponents, if I join you and help you fight against my country, then what is the difference between me and those Ghislings?" ”

"Don't you think about it anymore?" Manstein did not give up yet.

"No!" Anthony said resolutely, "General Manstein, you are a wonderful person, and it is my honor to be friends with you, but I am a Norwegian, and no matter how bad my country is, it still can't change my nationality, so I'm sorry." ”

"That's a shame." Manstein said regretfully.

"I'm really glad to be friends with you, General, and I hope my decision doesn't affect our friendship." Anthony looked at Manstein and said.

"Of course not." Manstein smiled, then took out a business card-like object from his pocket and handed it to Anthony, "This is the Führer's token, with the Führer's home phone on it, with which you can travel freely in Germany and all the German allies, which few people even in Germany have." ”

Anthony listened to Manstein's words, and returned the things to Manstein in a panic, saying: "This is what your Führer gave you, right?" How can you give it to me? You should put away such a valuable thing quickly. ”
