Fedor. Feng. Admiral Bock was a purely military man, and he never cared about anything other than anything related to the army.

Whether it was the Nazi Party or the Fan Party, the sixty-year-old commander of Army Group was less likely to attract his attention than a new weapon.

This veteran soldier has no interest in politics, and for him, it is the same for any party that comes to power, as long as he can use his talents and let the German team rise again.

One of Bock's favorite words to his subordinates in his free time is that a German officer must first learn to obey the orders of his superiors before learning to manage his subordinates.

So when Bock received an urgent order from the headquarters, even though he was confused by the headless order, but the order was an order, he still did not hesitate to carry it out.

The order of the high command was very simple, all the troops involved in the battle of Paris immediately ceased the offensive operation, stationed in place, and carried out a tight siege of Paris. No one was allowed to enter the city without further orders from the High Command.

Feng. Bock was appointed commander-in-chief of the blockade of Paris, and in addition to his own two elite infantry divisions under the Ninth Army, the command also gave him command of two elite infantry divisions under Lundstead.

For the order of the High Command, von . Bock was always vigorous in execution, and under his command, four elite German infantry divisions were stationed in a circle around Paris, and the world-famous city was besieged on the same day.

A junior officer of the 17th Infantry Division, after drinking two more glasses, proudly declared that in those days even the slightest rat in his defense zone would be questioned by him if he wanted to come out of Paris, and then where he had to go back from.

Although these words are obviously exaggerated, they still give some insight into the tightness of the lockdown at that time.

Paris was thus besieged to the death, the Germans had set up a tight blocking position on the outskirts of the city, deliberately reinforced firing points were densely packed along the entire blockade line, and four infantry divisions also sent their own lightly armored reconnaissance detachments to patrol around the outer roads day and night.

In addition, the infantry divisions also organized a number of mobile gendarmerie, but their duty, contrary to that of other units, was not to guard against any Frenchman sneaking out of the city, but against any German soldier with an excessive sense of curiosity or honor sneaking into the city, and now it was not permissible to even get too close to the city of Paris, and the orders of the high command were placed there, which was absolutely not to be violated.

Over the next two days, Lundsteadt's Army Group B headquarters also reached the outskirts of Paris.

Since the High Command has made von. Bock was in charge of the blockade of Paris, and Lundstead was happy to have it at ease.

On the second day after arriving on the outskirts of Paris, Lundstead spent three hours in the morning dealing with the operational problems of Army Group B, and the rest of the time began to wander among the luxurious estates on the outskirts of Paris with his staff personnel.

He first went with pleasure to visit the house of a pro-German manor of the estate, and then the commander of the army group, led by the hospitable French host, very happily "visited" a vineyard owned by another manor owner, and at the end tasted the wine produced there with great pleasure.

And almost busy to the point of four-legged Feng. Compared to Bock, Lundsteadt is really "pleasant" a little too much.

However, his Army Group B had the "Cyprus" Corps and the Guderian Corps as spearheads, although they were not as good as von Von. Bock's side is progressing as quickly as it is devastating, but it is basically still in the category of invincible.

Not only that, but the tenacity and strength of the enemy faced by his troops was obvious to all, and no one could gossip about the results they had achieved so far.

More importantly, His Excellency the Führer was personally directing the battle on the front line on his side, which showed that the focus of the war was still on the side of Army Group B, which was thus receiving the strongest and most priority support from the High Command.

In fact, now Lundstead can even not manage his own troops, because Army Group B has almost been taken over by the High Command, and most of the battle plans and orders are issued by the High Command.

Although Lundstead was a little depressed at first that he was being overstepped, Xu Jun had already prepared, and as compensation, Lundstead gained a lot of substantial benefits.

Moreover, Xu Jun succeeded in convincing Lundstead that when the war was over, the huge cake at the victory celebration would definitely have his share, and it would definitely not be worse than the commanders of the other two army groups.

The brigade of the High Command would not be able to reach the outskirts of Paris for at least two days, due to some trouble on the road.

The locomotive of the locomotive in which the headquarters was riding broke down, and the staff unanimously believed that it was a shameless sabotage by the French, but the final inspection result was that there was a problem with the maintenance of the German locomotive, which made the staff officers of the staff of the general staff really depressed. Now the train is stopping in a wilderness with no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, although the backup rescue train has departed, but it will take some time.

Three mixed wings of the First Air Force also arrived in the famous city on the morning of Lundstedd's arrival in Paris.

They received orders to assist the Army in the blockade of Paris.

Having just arrived at the airfield outside Paris, the three wings had already begun their combat missions before the pilots could familiarize themselves with the facilities and environment, demonstrating unprecedented efficiency in the Air Force.

After lunch that day, the Air Force sent fifty planes of various types, which took off from the occupied airfields outside the city, and then began an aimless maneuver over Paris throughout the afternoon.

In addition to carrying out normal reconnaissance missions, most of them are sightseeing flights, and of course, there is a bit of intimidation in them.

Whether it's a HEIII painted with a giant German insignia or a BF109 painted in dark green camouflage, few German planes buzz overhead like flies, especially when the black Stuka screams suddenly appear above their heads.

The stubby Stuka pilots sometimes flew in low dives in order to take a few photos of the Parisian citizens jumping around in order to use them as a way to brag to their neighbors when they returned home.

However, this dangerous maneuver was then strictly forbidden by the commander who led the team.

Although they did not encounter a single ground fire attack from the French while flying at low altitudes, they would not have been able to gain enough glide distance out of Paris if the plane had suddenly malfunctioned at that time.

The Air Force's understanding of the High Command's order is that no one is allowed to step on the land of the city of Paris without the order of His Excellency the Great Führer, whether you are parachuting or making a forced landing, even if you want to crash, you will die outside the city.

The air force's sightseeing flight made the army officers unusually red-eyed, and the thought that those air forces could recklessly roam the sky over Paris to enjoy the cityscape, while the army could only stare at the bushes on the outskirts of Paris, made them feel a little unbalanced.

Many of them had only seen Paris in newspapers or postcards, and this time they had planned to take the city as soon as possible, and then have a good look at it, but they did not expect it to turn out to be the way it is.

However, not a single officer clearly objected or was dissatisfied with the order of the High Command, and the commanders of the High Command would not do it for no reason, there must be reasons that they could not yet understand, and besides, it was only a matter of time before the fall of Paris was inevitable, and it was only a matter of time before they were the first troops to enter Paris.

It is better to think about how to successfully complete your mission, and it is more important to earn more merits for yourself before the end of the war, and not to worry about such small things.

However, there were still a few nimble officers who came up with the idea of the Air Force on the spot.

The next day, the officers took advantage of their rest time to go to the air force airfield, and after coming and going, they established a good relationship with the flight captains.

In the face of all kinds of bribes and surging saliva offensives, the flight captains were dragged into the water by the dead-faced officers, who finally promised them a few laps over Paris as observers.

However, what the flight captains did not expect was that setting this precedent would have such a big sequelae.

When the officers returned to their stations and boasted triumphantly in front of their colleagues, almost all the front-line commanders, from infantry platoon commanders to army majors, began to look for opportunities to run to the air force airfield.

Since the precedent had been set, it was really difficult to resist the offensive of these army officers, so these people also got tickets for the Paris air tour, but these army officers were not unaware of the gratitude of the newspaper, and from then on the army side would do their best to meet the needs of the army as long as these air forces needed help from the army or had any special requirements.

As a result, the relationship between the Luftwaffe and the army in the Paris theater reached an unprecedented harmony, and in just two days, in the officers' clubs on the suburban estates, air force officers and army officers could be seen everywhere in the scene of brothers and sisters calling each other brothers and brothers, as if the air force and the army had merged.

When the matter finally reached Feng. By the time Bock had heard him, more than half of his front-line commanders had already circled Paris.

Feng. Bock almost blew his veins on the spot, a serious collective indiscipline he had never encountered in his decades in the military.

Although Paris has been declared an undefended city, it is still defined as a war zone as long as it is not taken over by Germany for a day.

It is absolutely impermissible for an army officer to fly over enemy-occupied territory without the consent of his superiors.

What's more, these officers are all front-line command officers and the backbone of the troops. Bock doesn't want to see it.

However, Feng. Although Bock was so angry that he almost smashed the table, when he calmed down and looked back, it was really difficult to be ruthless in inflicting any punishment on these subordinates.

These officers have extenuating reasons for doing so, and so far they have had no negative impact on the blockade.

And, in a way, it also boosted the morale of these officers and brought the two services closer together.

Perhaps this will also have a certain effect on future operations, at least the efficiency of one's own troops will be much higher when they call in the First Air Force for support in the future.

The most crucial point is that this is a joint crime committed by the two services, and the air force should also bear part of the responsibility, and for the air force, he does not have the power to directly manage it.

Feng. Bock first reported the incident in detail to the Imperial Command, who had just been stationed at a luxurious estate outside Paris, and reviewed his own failure to detect and stop the infraction as soon as possible.

Now that the High Command has arrived here, this matter will sooner or later be known to the High Command, and it is impossible to conceal it and not report it, and it may even cause unnecessary trouble when the time comes.

The High Command gave von. Bock's reply was only a few words, and he dealt with it himself, and kicked back the right to deal with the matter.

Feng. Although Bock knew nothing about politics, he was an expert in the affairs of the army, and he knew that this was a face given to him from above, and since the ladder was given from above, he would not be stupid enough not to climb down.

Feng. Bock immediately called in the commander of the First Air Force, Albert. Air Admiral Kesselling discussed the matter.

At this time, Catherine was also having a headache about this matter, and the recognized excellent commander of the Luftwaffe was also very angry about the disciplinary actions of his subordinates.

Catherine has always advocated that as a virtuous person, iron discipline must be remembered, and any indulgence in disciplinary violations is a crime against the Empire.

However, in this matter, he hoped that he would be able to handle it with discretion and not be too serious, because it would affect the morale of the troops, and it should not be too light, which would encourage the continuation of such disciplinary violations.

After the two generals discussed together for a long time, they came to a unanimous opinion, and every officer who participated in the matter of violating discipline, regardless of the branch of the army, received the same punishment, and was confined for one week.

And the two admirals decided that, in order to be able to deepen the memory of these guys and not affect the current morale, this punishment would be carried out after the troops entered Paris.

While those colleagues and subordinates were happily touring Paris, they were crouching in a dark, closed room and counting ants, which was perhaps a lesson for these proud and conceited officers that would last a lifetime.

Now that the conclusion has been reached, the two generals' minds have been put down. Feng. Bock happily invited Catherine to dinner with him, and was about to take the opportunity to meet von Brown. Catherine, who was close to Pokhara, immediately agreed.

What no one expected at the time was that this simple meal would become the most important part of the German armed forces in the future, the opportunity for the birth of the German Army Air Corps.
