What Smigre didn't know was that Gammelin, whom he had always trusted so much, had said in private: If the Germans could annihilate Poland in half a month, France would be relieved of moral uneasiness, because it would be too late for us to send troops.

This is like the words of a general, shameless to this point, even most of the politicians who implement the policy of appeasement are not very thick-skinned. What's more, the military mutual assistance treaty between Poland and France, which he was personally responsible for signing four years ago, was immediately discredited in retrospect.

As a general, he openly gave even more brazen orders to his army commanders.

In order to pretend to fulfill the mutual assistance treaty, the French High Command decided to put on a suitable "offensive show". In order to embolden the Polish allies, the French also gave the offensive a nice name - the Saar offensive.

Before the German-Polish war, Ganmalin personally promised that once Poland held out for a week, the French army would launch a super-large-scale offensive, and the German army would definitely be defeated. At that time, as long as the Polish army takes the opportunity to counterattack, it can carve up Germany's territory with France.

This is not a little bit of, it is Lingyun's ambition and arrogance. But at last when Gammelin gave the order to the troops, the guy's tone became: "All French troops involved in the offensive must stop advancing 'not less than 1 kilometer' in front of the German Ziegfried line." ”

With this order, the French Second Army at that time immediately broke through to the Franco-German border with "great speed" and "quickly" arrived in front of the German Siegfried Line.

After that, more than 100,000 French troops stopped far away where the Germans could be seen with the naked eye. Then the infantry began to walk in groups around the forest or village, and the machine gunners were tired of carrying their guns, so they simply moved their chairs and sat down, the machine guns were left beside them, and they had their hands free to serve a cup of hot black tea.

At first, the German soldiers looked simply nervous at first glance. You must know that in order to fight Poland, there are only 11 active divisions of the German army on the German-French border, and the other 35 newly built divisions left on the Western Front, which are basically not much different from the militia. If the French army assaults now, you can go to Berlin and have tea with Reinhardt on the weekend!

But time passed little by little, and the French army on the opposite side was still so calm. The gun was not fired, and the position was not moved forward.

The Germans in the defense line took a closer look and dared to love the French, this is organizing a collective cross-border tour of the army?! Many people don't have guns in their hands, and there are even several literary officers leaning against the trees to read!

Okay, let's disperse, look back at Admiral Rundstead running naked, what's there to be nervous about, hasn't the Führer explained don't be nervous?

Two days later, news of the defeat of the Polish army at the Battle of the Buzura River came. On the morning of September 30, the French Second Army began a new major operation, that is, the entire army group withdrew to the Maginot Line at the speed of a "forced march", and must withdraw from the German border by noon.

During the whole process, in order not to provoke the German army, the French Air Force mentioned in the telegram sent by Gammelin to Poland did not even dispatch reconnaissance planes, and was deeply afraid that the Germans would also send planes to bomb and retaliate after seeing the French planes passing.

"Are you sure the French didn't fire a single shot and have all gone back now?" Sitting in the Führer's residence in Berlin, Reinhardt made a special trip to gather all the top military leaders who could be assembled to inquire about the situation on the Western Front in front of everyone.

"Yes, my Führer! The French had no intention of going to war. The border guards retreated to the makeshift fortifications as you wished, and did not engage the French in any battle. ”

It was an SS major general who reported the situation, and when he spoke, he naturally revealed a faint vigor in and out of his words, revealing his worship of the Führer as a god.

The SS report was so important that it directly lifted a boulder that weighed heavily on the hearts of the German high command. Prior to this, although Reinhardt, the always wise Führer, had repeatedly assured that few people dared to believe 100% that the French army would miss the opportunity to flank Germany.

The main forces of the German army were all transferred to the Eastern Front, and the French attack was sure to win at this time. With so many French soldiers and a large number of so-called famous generals, will no one see this golden opportunity?

As a result, no one saw this opportunity. In other words, a few people saw it, but they were persuaded by the appeasement in their hearts, and sat back and watched the German army attack eastward.

Originally, under Reinhardt's plan, the Polish campaign was first launched by the Soviet Union, which further rekindled the fear of Britain and France against the red monster.

Moreover, the more Germany fought westward, the closer it must have been to the Soviet Union, and it was only a matter of time before it bordered on it. Isn't what Britain and France have been pursuing all along, just to let the two enemies of the Soviet Union and Germany meet, isn't this just right!

Just when the generals of the navy, land and air force who were present were relieved and glad that the situation was developing according to the best situation, Reinhardt's next sentence instantly aroused a commotion.

"So, when General Rundstead came back from Poland, shouldn't he have stripped off his clothes and run around the center of Berlin?" Reinhardt rubbed his hands together and laughed.

Mom, it seems that the Führer has been worried about this all along!

Fortunately, the SS generals were basically accustomed to Reinhardt's lewd style, and the navy and air force also let it go because it was not their business. But several veteran generals of the army could not sit still.

In particular, General Rundstead was regarded by many veteran generals in the army as a veteran of the German Army and a typical example of the German soldiers in the old days because of his seniority. In addition, his status as a nobleman of the Feng family is also quite weighty. Such an important representative Confucian will be thrown into the streets to run naked, how to think wrong!

"Führer, although General Rundstead and you had a disagreement before, it would be too much to punish him like this, right?" An elderly army general poured cold water at Reinhardt, who was laughing and cramping in his face.

"Excessive?!" Reinhardt's face suddenly appeared with several rich expressions, surprised, aggrieved, sad, angry, it can be described as everything: "I am willing to gamble and lose, what's too much about this?" Besides, if you really think it's too much, why didn't you jump out and oppose it in the first place? Did you think that it must be me who lost from the beginning, and you wanted to see my appearance, so you deliberately didn't say it? ”

Reinhardt was right. Because several veteran generals put aside the political aspect and analyzed it only from a military point of view, they really decided that it must be Reinhardt who made a fool of himself. Of course, they didn't really want to see Reinhardt's naked running, but they just wanted to use it to kill the Führer's sharpness and highlight how important the military professionalism of their generals was.

It's a pity that Reinhardt has also made up his mind, and he must clean up the sharpness of these army generals as soon as possible and use a strong medicine to establish his prestige. I saw him turn his head and democratically ask the other generals what their opinions were: "Everyone was present when the bet was made, it was fair, just and open." Why is it that General Rundstead has to be punished if he loses, and it becomes my excess? ”

I saw Reinhardt give the direction of the Air Force and the SS: "You say, am I wronged?" ”

"Wronged!" They are all Reinhardt's cronies who have been picked up by one hand, and they have already learned from him, and when they saw the Führer's hints, they immediately became upset: "We have all participated in the whole process, and what the Führer said is reasonable and reasonable, and there has been an agreement." It is really a great injustice to say that the Führer is wrong when the result is out! ”

"Yes, yes." Realizing that this was the time to show loyalty, Raeder hurriedly led a group of admirals to shout on behalf of the Führer: "After the Führer wins, you will only object to the bet." It's really too partial to General Rundstead, and it's unfair to the Führer! ”

Seeing this effect, Reinhardt knew that his life in commanding the German High Command would be much easier in the future. The new generation of German generals are now fucking taken out of the division by themselves. One by one, they reacted quickly, and they all became their cronies, vying to speak for him. Sharpen the sharpness of the army, and there will be no more obstacles in the German high command!

Besides, he has always been used to messing around, and finally this time God opened his eyes, and he even took advantage of it, and he must seize the opportunity to dredge the generals who have many problems in the army one by one!
