Hearing Madina say this, Rommel felt very abrupt and began to think about it, but he really couldn't remember when he had scared his brother. So he said gratefully: "Her Royal Highness the princess's concern makes the Rommel family very honored. ”

It's one thing to have respect, it's another thing to have one's own family affairs, and Rommel didn't know the relationship between Madina and Geihard, so he really didn't want outsiders to interfere in the matter of brotherly feelings.

"Your Excellency the General, I don't mean anything else, I just hope that you will care more about your brother. He's actually very good. Because he wants to catch up with you in his career, he is almost desperately working, and he does not shy away from risks. Aren't you worried about such a situation? Madina didn't know what Rommel's attitude was towards Geihard, so she told her bluntly.

"Your Royal Highness, you don't need to call me my rank, just call me Erwin, so that it will be easier for us to communicate, can you accept my meeting?" Rommel had already guessed the princess's affection for her brother Geihard, and it seemed that the Rommel family was really an iron tree.

The usual emotional communication with his fiancée made Rommel, who was in his prime, much more sensitive to the emotional signals sent by the opposite sex, and he found that his brother already belonged to him.

Of course, Madina understood the meaning of Rommel's words, and the secret hidden in her heart felt like it had been exposed on the spot, and she began to be embarrassed. But she is worthy of being a descendant of the royal family, with a kind of innate nobility and boldness, and after quickly adjusting her emotions, she looked at Rommel with firm eyes again.

"I see what you mean, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, your concern for Erwin makes me very happy as an elder brother, I will find an opportunity to talk to him." Rommel seemed to remember something, and added: "Did he tell you about his trip to the front this time?" ”

"He's on the front again?" Madina was amazed.

"Yes, he went to the Balkans." Rommel replied.

"To the Balkans? Wasn't it still in Berlin the other day? Madina was puzzled.

"Yes, the higher authorities sent a few units to the front line to test the new weapons and test the actual combat effect, if nothing else, he will be able to come back soon." Rommel repeatedly said that it is not a secret, but it needs to be as open as possible, after all, Germany is very interested in the international arms market, as long as it does not involve Germany's core interests, everything can be sold.

And this is true, only a few prototypes have been produced for the fourth tank of the armored forces, and orders have already been placed in Turkey and Hungary. In fact, both the Americans and the Russians also seem to have a great interest in the tank four, and both have the intention to buy technology.

"I didn't know he was going to the Balkans all of a sudden, and he didn't tell me about it." Madina looked a little disappointed, and Gaihard didn't consult her about anything, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Don't worry Miss Madina, this time it's just a simple weapons test, he will be very safe, as the commander of Company D, unless he receives a combat mission, otherwise, he won't even have a chance to engage the enemy." Rommel comforted: "The mission is very sudden, he doesn't have time to tell you, it's normal, soldiers, to obey orders as their duty, I also happened to hear about his troop transfer, so I inquired by the way." ”

After Rommel said this, Madina felt a little better, but the worry lingered, and even the motivation to chat was much reduced. When Rommel saw this, he didn't know what to say.

Just then, Eric walked into the room, and many of the officials returned to the room, looking for their seats. As the crowd grew, several operational staff officers loudly motioned to the commanders and government officials to calm down.

Rommel quickly took the opportunity to make an apologetic gesture to Madina and sat upright.

Madina stood up and walked listlessly out of the conference room, for she did not yet have the right to attend such a meeting, and at best, she was nothing more than a security officer of the Joint Investigation Bureau.

The combat staff officer closed the curtains, opened the projector, and a picture appeared on the curtain, black and white, and silent, but the picture was very smooth and clear, and there were many gaps with the common images on the market. Rommel quietly turned to look at Madina who was slowly leaving, and complained that his mouth was too pure, and he couldn't even keep such a secret, which made the future brother-in-law so worried.

General Manstein stood on one side of the projection, pointed a slender whip at a tank that appeared in the footage and said: "Dear Mr. President, sir, this is the rendering of the 144/1 tank when it was tested for the first time. ”

"It's no different from Three." Doubts have been raised, after all, at first glance, there is no difference in appearance between the four and this 124/1 scheme.

"It's really hard to find the gap if you don't look closely, but you'll know if you compare it, and we'll do it again in the test site later, and now we just need to get a general idea." Manstein didn't know who asked the question, and he didn't dare to say it casually, so he had to explain patiently.

After Manstein had explained the general situation, the lights came on again, and Guderian and Rommel led officials at all levels to the exercise site in several buses.

As the protagonist of this time, Eric asked Manstein to sit in the same car with him.

"I'm very satisfied with today's review, and I can see that you usually train very strictly." Eric said to Manstein.

On the way to the exercise ground, Eric gave high praise to the armored forces, which was also a recognition of Manstein's ability to work. After all, under the young president, young people occupy a large proportion of the top echelons of the German military and political circles, and it is difficult to convince the public without outstanding results in the siege of the opposition and diehards. A general like Manstein, there will only be people who will be jealous, but absolutely no one will question his abilities.

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your high praise, as a soldier, it is our duty to train hard and protect the country and the people. No matter when and where, we will resolutely obey the command of Mr. President and swear to serve Mr. President to the death! Manstein was very excited, but he tried to restrain his emotions and did not dare to show them easily, lest the president feel frivolous.

"Very good, my general, you are still very young, and it is rare to have such outstanding achievements. Continue to work hard, the burden of building and defending the country now falls on the shoulders of our generation, and everyone must keep in mind the mission, work hard, and create new glories. Eric was very satisfied with Manstein's work attitude and patriotic sense of support.

In the next step, Eric is ready to remove the discordant notes around him, and no matter which army, he will never tolerate them turning against him.

Military power is the most direct and powerful! Without military power, the regime is just an empty shell.
