Chapter 5 Changing Careers in the Army

Was Rommel reckless? No! Rommel was, in fact, a very calm man. He was brave and bold, but never reckless. Rommel's accusations against West are indeed biased, but they are also a reflection of his straightforwardness. If it weren't for his mouth, he wouldn't have offended a large number of high-ranking members of the Third Reich in the original time and space, and provoked the final group to attack.

Let's take a simple example. In the original history, when Hitler's motorcade was driving in the rugged port of Dynya, Rommel, who was the head of the guard of the "Führer's base camp", played the role of a traffic policeman, and he ordered that only Hitler's car and one guard car should be allowed to pass, and the rest of the vehicles must be on standby.

Rommel's act of stopping the car made Bowman, who had always regarded himself as the "shadow of the Führer", very angry, and he hurriedly asked to follow. However, Rommel was unmoved, and he scolded the driver: "This is not a kindergarten child's play, you have to do what I say." The sound was so loud that all those present were so frightened that Bowman had to blush and turn off the driver and obediently obey Rommel's command.

Later, after Baumman, who had long been dissatisfied with Rommel, saw that Rommel's staff officers participated in the report of the murder of Hitler. The mood is like a lottery fan who has bought a lottery ticket for half his life and suddenly wins the jackpot. Finally, when he had the opportunity to be ashamed, he mercilessly added this sentence to the report: This is in line with the content of other, worse reports I have received. He then handed over the report to Hitler.

Rommel's consequences can be imagined. And all this stems from one of his mouths.

However, Zhang Chengtian did not have the patience of Bowman. Zhang Chengtian, who is "happy and revenge", chose the fastest way - to beat people directly. Of course, the ending is not the same as Zhang Chengtian expected. He can't beat Rommel!

Even if Zhang Chengtian was a cadet from a military academy in his previous life. But compared with Rommel, who has been honing on the battlefield for several years, the fighting skills that Zhang Chengtian learned at the military academy are as weak as broadcast gymnastics. Sometimes, the most standard combat moves are not as deadly as the moves that veterans have figured out on the line of life and death.

Zhang Chengtian could have slapped him and stopped, but after his blood swelled up, he chose to go further regardless of it. And if Rommel doesn't fight back like this, he won't be called Rommel.

Fortunately, several officers around quickly pulled the two apart, otherwise it would not have been as simple as Zhang Chengtian being punched a few more times. As for Rommel, apart from being slapped at the beginning, he basically didn't get beaten much after that.

Zhang Chengtian, who beat people, was beaten instead, which was extremely embarrassing in anyone's eyes, and Zhang Chengtian also had an angry expression.

However, when Admiral Ludendorff came over with several senior officers. Almost subconsciously, Zhang Chengtian's lifeless eyes became sharp and sharp, and his slightly hooked body became tall and powerful. As for the angry expression on his face just now, he has unconsciously become resolute and upright.

Ludwig on the side was dumbfounded. God, this change of face is faster than turning a book.

"What just happened? I seem to hear a lot of people calling out a name. Ludendorff said lightly.

However, this seemingly non-retentive statement is already very indicative. Ludendorff refuses to mention the brawl and asks about the cheers that Zhang received. This clearly shows that he ignored Zhang Chengtian's mistakes and revisited Zhang Chengtian's merits.

Zhang Chengtian is so smart! If I don't mention my mistakes, then it's not hard to talk about my retirement. No, I'm going to do it again!

"General, that's my name. Reinhart! ”

Ludwig and other naval officers breathed a sigh of relief, and in their opinion, Reinhardt should have understood Ludendorff's intentions. With Ludendorff, the general, opening his mouth, Reinhardt's troubles are more than half.

Don't underestimate Ludendorff's attitude. If Ludendorff doesn't show his attitude, a bunch of naval officers really don't have a good choice. If they had helped Reinhardt speak, the nature of the brawl would have become an antagonism between the army and the navy. But if you don't help this little ensign who retains the dignity of the Navy by proposing Operation Rainbow, many people in the Navy will probably feel cold.

And at this moment, Rommel also felt that something was wrong with Zhang Chengtian's answer. At the very least, he felt that his position was very unfavorable. Rommel glanced at Zhang Chengtian and stopped arguing. He wasn't the kind of person who was good at arguing, and now he knew that his arguments wouldn't be of any use!

Several of Rommel's colleagues also saw Rommel's embarrassment, but they were not going to give up arguing. After all, Rommel's contribution on the battlefield is obvious to all, and it is not their principles to see a good officer fall because of a mouth.

A lieutenant stood up: "Captain Rommel has gone a little too far, but ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chengtian hurriedly said, "Reinhardt apologized to Captain Rommel, I was impulsive just now." I understand that Captain Rommel was only open to words because of a moment of anger, and that he himself had no ill intentions. ”

Just before everyone could react to what Zhang Chengtian wanted to do, Zhang Chengtian immediately continued: "What I did just now was completely out of anger at Captain Rommel's remarks. But for the hero Captain Rommel, who once broke through the defense line of an Italian division with 600 men and captured more than 9,000 Italian soldiers, all I have left is admiration! I am willing to take responsibility for my actions."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Many people who didn't know Rommel before were shocked by Rommel's incredible record. And many naval officers who knew Zhang Chengtian were shocked by Zhang Chengtian's responsibility.

Originally, Zhang Chengtian was already in a transcendent position, justifying the name of an officer, and was favored by the highest army and navy officers present. At this welcome meeting, which was not attended by senior generals of the Air Force, Zhang Chengtian can be said to have won the favor of all the top leaders.

Originally, as long as Zhang Chengtian did not say much, Rommel would inevitably be responsible for this turmoil. In fact, many times choosing a scapegoat for an event is just as a matter of course.

However, the two things Zhang Chengtian did reversed his position with Rommel. In his short statement, he expressed two meanings. First, his apology shows that he is on the wrong side. Second, his statement made most of the people present understand Rommel's heroic achievements and brought Rommel back to popularity.

Ludendorff's eyes narrowed into a slit, and the young man in front of him clearly understood his intentions, but he didn't go down the slope as he had imagined. In fact, he was just here to help Zhang Chengtian get ahead. In the case that Zhang Chengtian has already occupied the advantage of public opinion, there is nothing wrong with such an investment.

But Zhang Chengtian's answer was unexpected by everyone. Is there really someone who is so noble that he sacrifices himself for the sake of others?

Zhang Chengtian had already silently recited in his heart, I don't know how many times, "Expelled from my military, expelled from my military..."

"Back then, the military academy clearly stipulated that the brawl was expelled, is it that the rules in Europe are different?" Zhang Chengtian, who was skeptical, decided to add to the fire.

In the end, Zhang's wish came true. He was fired from the Navy, but was assigned to the Army by Ludendorff and promoted to lieutenant. It all started with the last thing he said to Ludendorff - "Karp is not even as good as me." ”
