The quarrel between Marvin and Bam aroused everyone's doubts, and this is the first time that a cross-border smuggler caught at the scene should be so bold as to compete with the commander of the border guards.

The adjutant waved everyone to stop first, he was going to see what was going on.

Marven spotted someone approaching with his peripheral vision, and hurriedly waved him to retreat.

"Okay, it's not too early, I don't have the patience to go around in circles with you, if you don't tell the truth, I can only take you to Dresden." Marven affirmed.

"I can't say too much, it's not good for you or for me, you see, Your Excellency. Now all you have to do is let us go right away. "Bam seems to be begging Marven.

"Impossible! Boy, it seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin. Marven beckoned to the back: "Take them all away!" ”

The two soldiers swarmed up, grabbed Bam by the collar and shoved him into the crowd.

"Wait! Colonel, I'll be honest! Bam finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Marven waved his hand, and the two soldiers violently shoved Bam before leaving angrily.

Confused, Bam straightened his messy clothes and sat on the ground panting.

Marven smiled, pulled out the pistol from his waist, pulled the bolt, and loaded the bullet.

"If you shell man waste any more time on me, I'll have to send you to the western sky, and you're not the only one lying under my gun here. Man, you brought this on yourself, and you can't blame me. Marven said very seriously.

"You're a bastard!" Bam tore the hem of his clothes with all his might, and angrily took out a secret document and handed it to Marven.

Marven was a little confused, but he still reached out and took it.

"I see, sorry man! As a border guard, I can't cheat for personal gain, you know that. After carefully reading Bam's documents, Marven's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, and people became enthusiastic.

At this time, the soldiers, including the patrol of the armored division, were also puzzled, everyone had witnessed everything that had just happened, but they didn't know the reason.

"Release! All released! Marven turned around and announced loudly to the soldiers, and also equipped Bam and the others with a few jugs of fresh water.

At this moment, the 74th Panzer Division, which was quickly formed in three months in Dresden and Leipzig, regularly reported to the 10th Army in Frankfurt, and Marvin's unit was also deployed.

Rundstedt was very surprised when he saw the briefing of the 74th Division and spoke highly of it. At the same time, after the military briefing was delivered to the Hanseatic Palace, Eric also praised it again and again.

Soon Guderian's new 73rd Panzer Division followed suit, arriving at the designated camp in Frankfurt.

According to the training requirements, the 15th Panzergrenadier Division had already been training here with the 1st Panzer Division for more than three months, and on the whole it had met the wartime requirements.

Manstein had to oversee the production and distribution of Type 4 tanks together with Defense Minister Zeckert, and Rommel was solely responsible for most of the affairs of the 10th Army.

Schellner and Caron also accepted this status quo, speaking of which, General Rommel was both the "senior" of the two and the nationally recognized "national hero", and they obeyed.

Guderian, however, was not very happy, and in terms of promotion, he felt that the treatment of the two was too different. They are all soldiers of the same period, and they are comparable in terms of military merits, and they are comparable in terms of qualifications, and they are all better than others in terms of ability. However, one had already stepped into the ranks of lieutenant generals with one foot, and even when Manstein went further, Rommel would be able to take control of the 10th Army logically.

Goodechengan's resentment was not for nothing, and now, his treatment was not much different from that of a newly promoted colonel, although they were both division commanders, and he had only reverted to his previous rank of major general.

If you are not convinced, you will not be convinced, Guderian will not stumble on anyone. In fact, the reason why President Eric demoted him in the first place was actually because he was angry and deliberately spurred him on. And Guderian himself knows very well in his heart that in Eric's mind, Guderian's weight is not weaker than Rommel's, and the two even belong to the red and purple love generals.

In the military, both Rommel and Guderian belonged to the Young Zhuang faction, and both had great achievements and held high positions, but most people would only look at them with envy, and no one would slander them because of jealousy. To tell the truth, the two of them are really competitive, and promotion is a matter of course, but Eric has never promoted them before.

In contrast, Manstein, who worked quietly behind the scenes, was promoted quite quickly, and was already a lieutenant general in charge of the Wehrmacht's 10th Army.

Many had predicted Manstein's future, and even General Witzleben, who was known for his steadyness, was outspoken about him.

Of course, this is ultimately just speculation, after all, the fate of many people depends on the president's preferences and appreciation.

For days, the Hanseatic Palace was busy, and Ananta ran all day long, sometimes not necessarily satisfying Eric. In the morning, it was the Navy's Chief of Armaments Raeder who asked for money, and in the afternoon, it was the commander of the 10th Army, Manstein, and the Minister of Defense Zeckert, who made a report on the inspection of the country's military production.

Recently, there have been a lot of rumors about Manstein, and there has been a lot of talk about the staff of the presidential palace who were not very familiar with him before.

Here the Mance tank stepped into the president's office with his front foot, and he was already pointing outside.

It's completely understandable that girls like to talk about their idols behind their backs, but they also know which level of character they are targeting, but there are people who don't believe in evil, and many people in the office dare to directly open Manstein's hometown, which makes Ananta angry.

"Please don't talk about non-work-related topics during work hours! Is General Manstein also the person you talked about after dinner? Ananta slapped the thick stack of documents in front of them.

"Yo! My God! Director: What's wrong? Usually has a good personality.,Why did you suddenly lose your temper today.,It's scary.。 A female staff member was puzzled.

"Well, I'm not throwing a tantrum at you. Do you know, General Manstein can be said to be full of loyalty, and in the entire family, except for women, all other men are basically in the army, and they are all over the German navy, land and air force, do you think it can be discussed casually? Anatha's anger was more than half gone.

"I heard that his uncle was Paul von Hindenburg, the vice president of our Federal Republic of Germany, is that true?" Another staff member began to ask questions again.

"Yes, yes! Good work. If you ask questions again, I'll sew your mouth shut. Anatata smiled and made a needle and thread motion.

"Alright Director, I'll ask one last question, and then you sew my mouth up." The female clerk smiled and said, "Has General Manstein taken a wife?" ”

"You ought to ask General Manstein himself, dear little naughty. You can now work with peace of mind. With that, Ananta turned and left the office.

After being busy for most of the day, Ananta was exhausted, and she thought that Eric would comfort her, but she was criticized instead. She held her breath and wanted to go back to the office to vent, but it was all her sisters, and it was not appropriate for her to be angry at anyone.

Speaking of Manstein, he has really become a household name in Germany, not to mention that he was originally a serious graduate, just the family military training he received when he was a child, which is enough to make people envious. During the First World War, Eric discovered the glittering gold of Manstein, and later became an idol of young Germans after repeated promotions.

What's even more rare is that such a genius is not arrogant or impatient, and he has been sitting in the position of major general and division commander for nearly 10 years, not to mention his colleagues, even Eric admires it from the bottom of his heart.

The promotion of Manstein was recommended many times by the Army because of the matter of lieutenant general, and Brauchitsch also suggested it to Eric alone, but the presidential palace has not moved. I thought that Eric deliberately pressed it down, but in fact, it was because there was no better position to arrange.

Taking advantage of this expansion, Eric was finally able to promote Manstein step by step, however, this mention made everyone stunned.

Manstein, who had only been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general for half a year, was once again proud, and in the presence of dozens of high-ranking officials in the Hanseatic Palace, Eric personally awarded him the "Moltke Medal" of the German Confederation as a token of encouragement.

This medallion, which has just been finalized, is based on the head of Moltke Sr., based on sterling silver, and is surrounded by two crossed ears of wheat, which looks dignified and gorgeous.

In the new rules, in order to receive the Blue Max Medal, one must first obtain either the Moltke Medal or the Bismarck Medal. That is, Manstein is only one step away from the State Order of the Blue Max.

If you go further, it is the military's exclusive Silver Max Medal and the highest Gold Marx Medal, which can be awarded, but also face extremely strict requirements.

In Hoffman's understanding, the Order of Blue Max is already very rare, unless another all-out war similar to the First World War breaks out. That is, there is hardly any possibility for the state to award the Diamond of the Silver Medal in peacetime.

After the award, Manstein did not stay in Berlin and returned to Frankfurt overnight. This makes many unconvinced people have to admit that other people's medals are all based on real skills, except for solid efforts, there is no side door to expect.

Frankfurt, of course, was overjoyed, because it was not only a personal honor for Manstein, but also for the entire armored forces.
