"It's half past three in the morning, which is the most sleepy time for people, but now I've gathered you here, and as for why, I'm sure everyone already knows the answer!"

"The war is about to begin, and you still have one last hour to check your equipment, to write down your lovesick words, or to do something else, but in an hour you will set out from here, follow the great army, step out of the country, and set foot on the land of the French!"

"You are the most special unit in the entire German army, and I think every one of you should know that! Someone once asked me why almost all the officers were Germans, and whether a foreigner like him could become an officer, whether he was eligible for a medal, or just cannon fodder. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"That's the question, now, I'll give you the answer!"

Li Ling stood on the school grounds, there was no viewing platform or particularly professional audio equipment, except for a loudspeaker, there was nothing else, but his lecture today was very important, so important that even he himself was a little nervous.

"It has only been four months since this unit was formed, and in four months, it is impossible for me to promote a large number of inexperienced people as officers, which is why I have transferred so many junior officers from other units as supplements. That is to say, as long as you are good enough, as long as you have enough ability, then in the future, the position of these people will be yours sooner or later! But don't forget my conditions, those who have the ability go up, and those who don't have the ability go down! ”

Li Ling did not specifically prepare a speech, such a pre-war mobilization meeting, Li Ling preferred to say it directly, and told these people in the simplest and most realistic language what they wanted and what they wanted!

"As for the second issue that concerns you, that is honor! Since you care about honor, I can assure you that as long as you are brave enough on the battlefield, then there will be all the honor you deserve, and it will be the same, if not more! Also, if you think you have enough honor and want to make some other request, such as German citizenship, I will help you get it. But then again, it seems that I am not a German citizen myself. ”

"You come from different countries, there are whites, yellows, and blacks among you, but you are all my Li Ling's brothers here!"

"In the next war, if I find out that someone has caused the death of his brother because of cowardice and fear, or wants to take revenge on the battlefield because of some personal vendetta, it is better not to let me know!"

"I'm not going to fire you, because I never intended to fire anyone from this unit! However, you have reminded me that if you really do something to be sorry for this team, I will shoot him directly! ”

"And one thing I would like to highlight is about the communication between the units of the various trains, which I have already highlighted more than once, but in previous trainings there have always been people who have made similar mistakes! All correspondence must be in German, no other language! ”

In fact, when Li Ling first formed this unit, he hoped that the vast majority of the people in this unit were Chinese, and all the people in this unit must speak and chat in Chinese. But then I slowly found out that this is basically impossible.

First of all, this huge group of officers, they are all Germans, and it is even more difficult for them to learn Chinese, which is recognized as the most difficult language in the world to learn, and it is almost impossible for them to master this language in such a short time.

Even these high-quality officer groups could not be mastered, and as for those recruited directly from the localities, most of them were not highly educated, and there was little hope for them to learn Chinese.

The war is about to start, and learning Chinese can be postponed, and when the war is over, or by constantly supplementing the Chinese to join, it will naturally be much better, but for now it is still necessary to use the German language that everyone can understand.

"Next, each battalion was brought away separately for pre-war mobilization, at 4:10 each unit carried out the final pre-war inspection, tested communication equipment, warmed up at 4:20, and set off on time at 4:30!"

Li Ling's words didn't say much, not because time didn't allow it or that Li Ling was poor in words, but because he didn't need to say too much at all!

This is the first time that the first regiment directly under them has set foot on the battlefield, although many of them are old fritters, but more of them are recruits who have never been on the battlefield, if they say too much, it will increase their psychological burden, resulting in excessive mental tension.

Some words are just enough, tell them their bottom line, tell them their hopes, and then leave the rest to the officers of all ranks to solve on their own.

Watching the troops take away, Li Ling walked on the school field, looking at the tanks lined up neatly, this is his own troops, this is the first army he led in this era!

Although this force is still weak, in the future, they will definitely be an invincible force!

......

Not only is it directly under the first regiment, at this time, on the long German-French border, there are countless troops ready to go, for this war, the German elite troops are almost out of the nest!

A total of 46 divisions of Army Group A led by Rundstedt participated in the war, including Li Ling's 1st Regiment and Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps, which would be the decisive force in the battle, penetrating from the Ardennes Forest to cut off the connection between the north and south of France.

Army Group B, consisting of 30 divisions, under the command of von Bock, acted as a decoy to draw the Anglo-French forces in northern France into the pockets of the Manstein Plan by advancing into the Low Countries.

Army Group C, led by von Loeb, would attack the Maginot Line with 18 divisions in small attacks to prevent the French from cutting off Army Group B's rear in a roundabout way.

On the Luftwaffe side, Volcbier arranged 2,800 planes of various types to support Army Group B, which was responsible for the main attack, and in the offensive direction of Army Groups A and C, Volcbiel also provided a total of 3,000 planes to support.

At the same time, the German Navy began to leave the military port of Kiel in its entirety and go to the Atlantic, blocking the English Channel and the path of reinforcement of the French overseas fleet.

At 4:30, the war is in full swing!
