"Marshal Brauchitsch! What's new! The Soviets bombed Moscow, dropping about 100 bombs and causing a number of civilian casualties. ”

"Oh? This news is really special! Brauchitsch took the message and looked at it carefully.

The Soviets themselves bombed their former capital, dropping bombs over Moscow, which was already in ruins, was an intriguing move in itself.

"Send this news to Berlin! Let the High Command figure out what the Soviets are trying to do. Brauchitsch sneered and dropped the message in his hand on the table.

He is in the wolf's den at this moment, busy with matters related to the reorganization of the army group. The Führer intended to organize the battle group heading south into a new army group, independent from the control of Field Marshal Rundstedt.

The commander of this new battle group is Guderian. This is also another army group level army commanded by the Führer's confidant and favorite general.

The last army was the Middle East Army under Rommel's command, but more than half of this army was made by Italians, so Brauchitsch did not bother to do so.

Now, the Führer is taking an integrated army group, all of which is an elite army group, and handing it over to the Führer's henchmen to command, whether this is a good thing for the army, Brauchitsch is calculating.

It was a difficult trade-off, and Brauchitsch had already relegated himself to the centrists, no longer taking sides before the Führer and the Junker aristocracy.

But as a marshal, and as the commander-in-chief of the army, the leader who sits in the top position of the army, he is also clearly aware that he does not choose sides, and now there is something that is not pleasing to both sides.

As the battle situation became clearer, the forces on the side of the Junker nobility became weaker and weaker, and the fragments that were divided and disintegrated by the Führer became more and more fragmented.

Under such a premise, if he is not on the side of the Führer, then he, the commander-in-chief, may soon pack up his things and leave before victory comes.

"It's a tough trade-off." With a sigh in his heart, Brauchitsch felt that he should support the Führer's order.

First of all, as an army general, since the troops heading south no longer even attack in the same direction as Army Group Center, it is indeed somewhat unreasonable to continue to be restrained by Army Group Center.

Secondly, the supplies were first transported to the vicinity of Moscow, deployed to Army Group Center, and then distributed by Marshal Rundstedt, which was indeed not conducive to Guderian's own allocation and use of supplies.

Again, since the Führer wants to set up a southbound army group to command Guderian, Brauchitsch should support this decision - as a vote, he really needs a qualified "grade" in exchange for a ticket from the Führer's side!

Finally, as the commander-in-chief of the Army, he also knows that it is better for the Army to do so, so he should also make the right choice that is best for the Army – this is a work ethic, and it has nothing to do with taking sides.

"Send 30 improved Leopard tanks that have just been delivered to the front line to cluster G to replenish Guderian's losses." Brauchitsch used his prerogatives to "replenish Guderian's troops at the army level."

This order came from the Army General Command, so the 30 newly produced Leopard tanks, the commander of Army Group Center, Field Marshal Rundstedt, had no right to redistribute them.

"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander! The officer who recorded his orders calmly agreed, and shorthanded down the important contents in his notebook.

"Also, rename Army Group Center to Army Group A! The newly reorganized Army Group Southbound was renamed Army Group B...... "Brauchitsch almost took the Führer's words and issued them as his own orders, without changing the slightest bit."

Now that you want to take sides, you don't have to hold back. At this moment, after making this decision, Brauchitsch knew that there was no way back.

He is now a traitor among the Junker aristocracy, and like those new nobles, he will definitely be resisted and discriminated against by the old nobles.

The benefits that came with it were also numerous, the Führer would have more trust in him as Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and he would be able to sit in this position until the day of total victory for Germany!

Even if it's just a sign, then he is a German god of war who can compete with famous generals such as Moltke Jr.!

During his tenure as Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Germany conquered all of Europe – a feat that would have left a lasting mark on history.

"Field Marshal Loeb's Army Group North was renamed Army Group C...... Marshal Bock's Army Group South was renamed Army Group D! After he issued this order, it seemed that he had let go of some baggage, and his whole mental state became relaxed.

It is no wonder that Brauchitsch was too nervous to be at the top of the army all along, acting as a firewall for the Junker aristocracy against the Führer and the Führer's National Socialist Party.

Originally, he didn't have that much ability, and in history, he was directly replaced because of the distrust of the Führer...... Extrapolating backwards from this result, he really didn't do too well in this position.

Similarly, from the beginning of the replacement of Brauchitsch, the distrust between the army and the Führer began to intensify, and the war at the front turned into a headwind.

"In addition, the matter of calling the Supreme High Command and appointing Guderian as commander-in-chief of Army Group B has already been approved by the General Command." He paused after saying that, and asked the secretary to take note of the decision.

Later, as the secretary raised his head, Brauchitsch continued to instruct: "The second thing, the supply of Army Group B, and the division of troops......"

He talked endlessly here, and assigned many elite units to Guderian: including the original 47th Panzer Army, 24th Panzer Army, 46th Panzer Army, and so on.

Originally, these troops were also under Guderian's command, but now they have become more legitimate - there are many more troops that are now part of the lineup.

In addition, there was 1 infantry corps under Army Group A, which also belonged to Guderian's Army Group B. This unit can reinforce the flanks of Group B, or it can do some dirty work.

This ensured that Group B had enough troops to move south, and that most of Guderian's troops were still strengthened and mobile.

In this way, it will not affect the mobility of Guderian's B cluster, but also effectively strengthen the ability of this army to attack fortifications.
