It's been a long time since Reinhardt had a good night's sleep.

Unlike famous generals such as Manstein, Rommel, and Guderian, Reinhardt had neither a fabulous command nor a deep and down-to-earth military foundation. Although he had studied in a military academy in his previous life, he had not achieved anything to be proud of.

His only strength is arrogance, a tenacity to grit his teeth and persevere.

With this tenacity, he completed his studies at the military academy and completed a second degree in automation at a technical university on his own.

He spent countless nights fighting at night, spending countless hours in his dorm room and repeatedly studying on his own, just to make up for the gap in talent with the others.

He may not be an excellent student during the long study time, but he must be the hardest student.

Because of low self-esteem, he rarely even took the initiative to communicate with others, and gradually became an otaku. Because of his poor family background and fear of offending the powerful and affecting his family, he never dared to be in the limelight, and let a rich second-generation man named Xiao Yao oppress him.

But, even so, he is still alive strong and difficult.

In that painful life, the greatest wealth left to Reinhardt was tenacity!

Now he is just sipping coffee to refresh himself, just reviewing every battle plan in detail, and just accompanying the generals and staff officers in the conference room of the headquarters again and again to survive countless sleepless nights, just doing his own responsibility!

Germany, this great nation, gave itself the opportunity to be reborn and gave itself a stage to show. And he, Reinhardt, will do his best to repay this kindness.

The German people entrusted themselves with the hope of a better life, and the German soldiers put their lives and glory into their own hands. What could be more touching than this trust!

Yes, on weekdays, he still shows an alternative temperament that does not match the country's leaders from time to time, and even makes people feel that he may never be serious.

However, whenever a major battle came, he always tirelessly went back and forth between the High Command and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs countless times, and then reviewed every military or diplomatic decision day and night.

A head of state who sleeps only four hours a day, a head of state who is personally involved in everything.

It is not easy to deal with the complex government affairs of the state and the countless operational plans in place.

But Reinhardt did it! He oppressed his body, cut his sleep time, and carefully signed the same boring documents over and over again, just to be the leader of a country in his own way.

He's not on the front line, but he's playing with his life in a different way!

Need anything else? For those close to him, that's enough! He may not be like those politicians who are crepe-free, babbling at length all day long, showing a noble image of a man of the world. But he is infecting everyone around him with his practical actions and his tenacious will.

Therefore, even if he was an alternative brazen person in Germany, even if he jumped up and down and unscrupulously stripped the clothes of all the senior generals, the top leaders of the Third Reich could still stand firmly behind him.

In addition to believing in the miracles he led one after another, everyone also saw his tenacious will to work harder than anyone else and be more reliable than anyone else at critical moments. This is the foundation of true cohesion.

A Führer who shares the weal and sorrow of all; A Führer, no matter how unserious he may be on the surface, but in fact does everything well; A head of state who makes people laugh and scold him for being insane, but in his heart he respects and loves him. This is the Führer of the Third Reich - Reinhardt. Heydrich!

"Rundstead's Army Group A, which has now broken through the Maas line of defense. The road to Paris and the English Channel was thus opened, and the British and French forces fighting in Belgium were in danger of being outflanked, and the French army on the Maginot Line would be exposed to the enemy. Reinhardt looked at the blue arrows representing the German army on the map of the High Command with satisfaction.

Beside Reinhardt, Paulus, who was transferred from the 6th Army to serve in the High Command, also smiled and said: "My Führer, everything is under your control. I have to say that the plan you made with Lieutenant General Manstein was so perfect that it simply calculated all the actions of the main Anglo-French forces! ”

Major General Paulus, who served as chief of staff of General Reichenau of the 10th Army in the Polish campaign, has been doing well. Before the start of the French campaign, the Tenth Army was renamed the Sixth Army, and Paulus was also dug into the high command by Reinhardt by the way from under Reichenau, and remained as a professional chief of staff by his side.

In fact, Paulus had a not-so-nice nickname called "Can't Keep It". It is said that he was at the center of the storm in the Battle of Stalingrad, which is known as the turning point of World War II, and led the most elite Sixth Army in Germany, but he did not maintain the morale of the Sixth Army in this crucial battle for Germany, resulting in the discouragement of the Sixth Army, and then the exhaustion of the main force and its destruction.

Many people believe that Paulus's defeat led to the collapse of the Third Reich and that he was the sinner of Germany in World War II, calling him an incompetent general.

However, this view is actually biased.

In fact, Paulus was a very good soldier. In terms of combat performance, his command skills were even much higher than those of the Soviet generals who defeated him at Stalingrad.

Paulus was a humble man with little fame, and he was always respectful and deferential to the Führer, as well as to Manstein and other generals. It can be said that his character is a very likable character.

Even Manstein, who always looked down on his colleagues, always blamed other generals for their bad command affecting him, and liked to dump the blame in his memoirs, did not blame Paulus for the defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad for the first time.

You must know that Manstein even dared to dump the pot and said that most of the generals of the army command were rice buckets, for which he also got the nickname "Man Buqun".

But only Paulus, the general who experienced the defeat of Stalingrad with him, the scapegoat who was the easiest to be dumped, was evaluated by Manstein, who believed that Paulus was excusable even if he surrendered.

The reason for this is that Paulus was so respectful in the Stalingrad Squadron that he even regarded Manstein as his only savior.

To borrow a quote from Paulus's telegram to Manstein when he was surrounded by Soviet troops: "Mr. Marshal, I have always regarded your guidance as a guarantee. And my commanders and valiant soldiers will do their best to live up to your trust. ”

The inscription is: Your faithful, Paulus.

As a rare general among the German commanders who had no frame and no strange temper, as one of the few defeated generals who were not accused by "Man Buqun" in his memoirs. Paulus, at least, would not be a blind and arrogant, unadvised conceit fool who crashed into the Soviet ambush circle, as portrayed in the history textbooks.
