1094 Rebuild the base
You must know that the reason why Germany can expand its armaments and war after Hitler comes to power and re-emerge as a world-class military power is that Sickert's contribution is actually greater than Hitler's.
This old man, who had been to China and served as a military adviser to the Nationalist Government, was an out-and-out militarist bent on keeping Germany strong.
It was precisely because he carefully selected 100,000 Wehrmacht troops that Hitler's later plan to expand armaments and warfare was like a fish in water. It was precisely his campaigning with a large group of patriots that allowed him to retain the German military system by disgraceful means.
Now, after more than two years of campaigning, the system of "super Wehrmacht backbone" established by Sickert has been almost consumed by war losses.
Six or seven out of ten of the old units of the "Wehrmacht", which represented the most powerful non-commissioned officer system in Europe, have been killed in battle, and the rest have either been promoted or disabled and retired.
Now, one of the important reasons for the sharp rise in the losses of the German army is the decline in the quantity and quality of the backbone of the army such as non-commissioned officers and sergeants, which has led to a decline in the tactical level of the entire army.
Therefore, what Li Le has to do now is to take advantage of the opportunity that everything is still under control at the moment, and quickly strengthen the non-commissioned officer class of his unit again.
As long as these positions can be filled by soldiers who have stood the test of war, then the German army will once again become an "elite division".
Before the American troops could adapt to the war and become capable of fighting, they took the lead in allowing Germany to regain the quality of the army that swept through France at that time.
This is Li Le's expectation, and whether it can be realized depends on whether the German ace heroes are willing to share their combat experience.
Hearing Li Le's words, Brauchitsch replied bitterly: "My Führer, we have been going on this process, but for personal reasons, many soldiers are reluctant to leave the front. ”
The Germans were quick to become brave, and many pilots and tank commanders who had performed well on the battlefield were reluctant to leave the front line.
This is also why, the German army has a large number of ace commanders and pilots. They have been fighting on the front line with their troops for a long time, and they will naturally be able to achieve more outstanding results.
However, what Li Le hoped was that these powerful soldiers could pass on their experience and tactics and become the backbone of the new German Wehrmacht.
It's not that the Germans don't value talents like Karjus and Wittmann and Rudel and Hartmann.
It's just that after moving these people to the rear, they will always find an excuse to return to the front. Their personal unwillingness to waste their energy on teaching and educating people is not a violation of the state.
"Then take these people and take turns to come back to teach! Or simply promote them and make them commanders! "The Führer stubbornly insisted on his point of view.
The United States is much more advanced in this regard, and it is also worth learning from other countries. In this regard, the United States has a more robust soldier reward system and a better talent guarantee program.
In World War II, soldiers who reached the standard of mission points could be discharged early; In the same way, soldiers who have high combat capability on the front line and have achieved remarkable results in battles will be immediately transferred back to their home countries to use their experience in training new recruits and improving the quality of their soldiers.
In the short term, it seems that this will weaken the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops, but in a matter of months, the combat effectiveness of the entire front-line army will be significantly improved.
In fact, Marshal Brauchitsch was not unaware of this truth, but the soldiers had been nervous before, so he ignored this truth.
Now that a large number of soldiers have been allowed to go home and rest on the front line, it means that his soldiers are less nervous and he can think about more things.
"You're right, after I go back, I'll try to send elites and return to China to teach!" The commander-in-chief of the army thought for a moment and agreed.
As far as he is concerned, since he has already submitted his name and has become the Führer, there is no need to refuse the Führer's request.
What's more, this request is not a bad thing for the army, it can even be said to be a good thing, and he has no reason to refuse.
In fact, there are many ways to get the Army into the training cycle, and internal rotation is undoubtedly one of the more realistic solutions.
In France, but also in England, Germany retained hundreds of thousands of troops. These armies could be used as rotational units to fight on the Eastern Front.
Those officers who went home to visit their relatives were temporarily resettled in France and England, and those veterans who returned from the front must have no opinion.
When they have rested enough, and then they are transferred back to the Eastern Front to fight, they will not arouse their disgust - when the time comes, naturally there will be another group of soldiers who have returned from the front line to visit their relatives and can take over their defense.
As for the training, if it is directly placed in France and the United Kingdom, isn't it over? Anyway, there is a venue, and the equipment is also ready, and nothing will be wasted.
"All the winners of the Iron Cross will be rotated to the French base to train our veterans! Make them more proficient in tactics and improve their skills and tactics! Seeing that the commander-in-chief of the army agreed to his proposal, Li Le ordered with great ambition.
These people are veterans of a hundred battles, and with a little dialing, they can become the backbone of the army!
Moreover, when these people return to the front line, they can immediately fill the combat unit as the backbone of non-commissioned officers, and also leave a hope for promotion for the recruits - as long as they go to the French base for training, they will have the opportunity to be promoted!
Encouraged by such a favorable situation, coupled with the improvement of the system of returning home to visit relatives, it is not difficult to improve the morale of the front-line troops.
As long as such operations are persistent, within three months, the German army will be able to recover more than 30% of its combat effectiveness, and it will have at least 10% more chance of winning strategically!
Seeing that the Army, compromised at the request of the Führer, was not at all useful to himself, Goering also knew that his role was getting smaller and smaller.
Brauchitsch and most of the generals in the army were becoming more and more submissive, and the Führer was less and less needed the air force as a card to counterbalance the disobedient Junker aristocracy within the army.
Now what is left is nothing more than a statement of icing on the cake. So Goering hurriedly opened his mouth and promised, without a trace of slackness: "My Führer! The Air Force will also form a system to carry this matter through! ”
For Goering, this matter must not only be done in a hurry, but also in a good way - who let him have a large number of air marshals such as Milch and Kesselring around him, waiting for him to fall out of favor and usurp his throne?
