"So, not only did we lose a large piece of equipment of great value, but we were also taunted by the British as Idiot?" Lyons sat behind a large desk, holding a report from the Gestapo, and without raising his head, he spoke to the head of the Wehrmacht Army Headquarters, General Walter von Brauchitsch, and the chief of the General Staff, General Franz Halder, standing upright at the desk.

Vervina's Wehrmacht couldn't catch the cunning British "mole" after all, and in order to prevent the situation from getting worse, they had to share the information with the local Gestapo branch - as a regular national army, they have always looked down on the SS, although the two sides cooperated quite tacitly on the battlefield - and the Gestapo also fully interpreted what it meant to be a "squad cadre of the Reich", and immediately made a "small report" to Lyon, "reporting" the Wehrmacht's poor supervision and causing huge losses to the Reich.

Walter von Brauchitsch and Franz Halder are both almost 120 years old, but in front of Lyon, they are still like schoolchildren who have been reprimanded by their teachers.

"I think so, my Führer." Brauchitsch wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Wehrmacht is very sorry for this......"

"Needless to say, I'm sorry, but I made a mistake in my decision." Leon waved his hand, "I shouldn't have left the Wehrmacht behind in the occupied industrial area, your opponent should be the enemy's army, not the agents." ”

"Führer......" The two looked at Leon suspiciously, unable to understand why the Führer, who had always rewarded and punished clearly, now took on all the responsibilities that originally belonged to their Wehrmacht.

"So I decided that, from now on, all the industries under the supervision of the Wehrmacht in Belgium would be transferred to the SS." Leon finally raised his head, looked directly at the two of them, and said, "The SS is better suited to dealing with rats than the Wehrmacht." ”

After listening to Lyon's decision, the two realized that the Führer had not changed at all, and although Lyon had ostensibly taken all the blame on himself, he had secretly weakened the Wehrmacht, perhaps more appropriately called the Traditionalists.

"Führer, this ......" The two of them were a little anxious, if they lost the big cake of Belgium, then the strength of their traditional officers would be on a par with the Führer faction headed by Ludwig.

"I've made up my mind." Leon couldn't help but say, "I hope that the Wehrmacht will focus more on the enemy." ”

"Yes, my Führer." The two saw that Leon's attitude was very resolute, so they didn't insist any longer.

In fact, Lyon made such a decision, not because he favored the Führer's officers, but since the blitzkrieg on Poland, the strength of the two factions that had been balanced for more than ten years began to gradually become unbalanced, and the traditionalist officers who adhered to the traditional Prussian spirit as the core not only filled almost all the senior positions in the Wehrmacht, but even began to show signs of invading the SS.

There is no way to do this, who let the main force of the war be the Wehrmacht, under the war system, the territory they conquer will naturally be under their supervision.

In order to maintain the balance between the two factions and prevent one faction from threatening its leadership, Lyon has been trying to increase the strength of the Führer by sending part of the Wehrmacht industry to the SS, but he has never found a suitable opportunity until this bombing.

"Alfred!" After announcing his order with the two commanding officers of the Wehrmacht, Leon called outside.

"I'm here, my Führer!" Alfred Krupp, who had been waiting outside for a long time and was wearing an SS colonel's uniform, heard Lyon's summons and immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

Alfred Krupp, who had been in the army for more than ten years, had long since shed the youthful appearance of the first meeting with Lyon, and the Krupp family rules, which had always been known for their strictness, gave him an extremely calm character, but at the prime of life, he retained the radicalism he deserved.

It can be said that Alfred Krupp was the absolute backbone of the Führer's officers.

"Alfred, you were born into the Krupp family, and you should have a lot of experience in industrial management." Leon smiled and looked at Alfred, a crony he had always taken with him, "I have decided to hand over all the industrial enterprises in Belgium to you with full management, and I hope you can cooperate with Mr. Speer to manage the resources of the empire!" ”

"Understood, my Führer!" Alfred listened to Leon's decision, and his feelings did not fluctuate in the slightest, but he just saluted and accepted the appointment.

Leon looked at the calm Alfred, nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "At the same time, you can recruit Belgians in Belgium to form an SS volunteer division, with you as the commander, and I will arrange weapons and equipment, but the maximum number can only be controlled at 60,000 people, that is, three divisions, after reaching this number, you need to cooperate with the Wehrmacht's recruitment organization and recruit servant troops for the Wehrmacht, can you do it?" ”

"No problem, my Führer." Alfred agreed, of course, because he hadn't really commanded an army in battle until now.

After listening to Leon's order, Brauchitsch and Halder, who were standing next to Alfred, were also very satisfied, and Leon's later part of the order about the maximum number of Belgian volunteer SS soldiers and asking Alfred to help the Wehrmacht recruit soldiers was obviously helping the Wehrmacht, which was regarded as a little compensation for them.

"That's it, you go down first." Leon waved his hand, and after balancing the strength of the two factions, Leon felt a little more comfortable because he had lost a large piece of equipment in vain.

"Yes!" The three of them saluted and walked out of the door of the Führer's office side by side.

Looking at the backs of the three of them walking out of the door, Leon rubbed his forehead helplessly, the imbalance between the traditional officers and the Führer officers was slightly adjusted, but recently the two issues between the conservative officers and the young Zhuang officers about the end of the Belgian campaign and the start of the French campaign have started a new round of tearing.

The conservatives said that the first goal should be to win, use the second line of troops to hold back the main Allied forces at the northern border of Belgium and France, replace several main army groups to the central front, and unite with the Italian troops that have crossed the Alps to take Paris as quickly as possible, in order to end the battle in the shortest possible time and in the safest way.

The young Zhuang officers, on the other hand, believed that the conservative officers were too narrow-minded, and they believed that the war against France should not be the first goal, but should do everything possible to eliminate the millions of elite Allied troops in the north, and to minimize the obstacles to the "Sea Lion Operation", which had been determined to be carried out immediately after the French campaign.

They advocated that the two armored groups of Guderian and Rommel, which had already invaded France, carry out a pincer offensive on the north of France and Belgium, cooperate with the two major Army Groups A and C in front to encircle the main Allied forces on the seashore, and at the same time transfer Army Group E to southwestern Belgium, from there to attack the French hinterland, and then attack the back of the Maginot Line in the south, and cooperate with Army Group B dragging the Maginot defenders to take there.
