In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the Ukrainians, Keitel also made a plan: the Ukrainian Guards Corps can receive the weapons supply and treatment of the German front-line troops, and after the cumulative combat has been completed for 6 months, it can be transferred to Europe, France, Italy and other countries, and while stationed on the Western Front, it will take a vacation and rest for 45 days. It is equivalent to an attempt at the "rotation system".

Ukrainian family members who are "rotated with the troops" can also enjoy military ration bread tickets, lunch meat tickets, and exchange for food in the western part of the empire. And the Ukrainian soldiers who killed the enemy of the Soviet Union during the battle can go to exchange at the end of each month after checking the results, and the exchange ratio is 1 infantry killed - 1 can of luncheon meat, 1 tank destroyed - 10 catties of flour.

Of course, with the cooperation of the Allied Forces, everyone cooperated in the battle of killing the Soviet army, and the participants freely distributed the exchanged materials, and the reward for capturing the Soviet army was halved, but the captured enemy cars, tanks, planes and other items were exchanged for rewards according to the exchange ratio of the destruction.

In this way, the situation of Ukrainian troops killing good people in Russia may be very serious, but after all, it is a fighting nation of Russians who are all soldiers, so although they did not say anything about the possible killing situation, this is equivalent to saying that the German side will turn a blind eye.

"It seems that our plan to liberate Ukraine and help them become independent has been brought forward." In the face of the good situation, Reinhardt did not intend to rigidly follow the rules.

He put down the report in his hand and said seriously to Keitel: "First of all, we have to reward the seven Ukrainian divisions that surrendered this time. ”

"That's right." Keitel nodded after hearing this, and continued with Reinhardt's words: "These troops surrendered before the war situation became completely clear, and they also took the initiative to bring a large amount of supplies stockpiled by the Soviet army on the southern front. ”

"Although these materials are not particularly important to us, at best they are equal to the merits of one of our armies, and we can only use the oil materials in them, and those ammunition and shells basically do not match our weapons."

"But," Keitel said with some joy, "judging from our recent engagement with the Soviets on the Southern Front, it is clear that they are in great need of ammunition and fuel. According to intelligence, this was due to the fact that the Soviet General Pavlovk seized supplies for the troops on the Southern Front. ”

Reinhardt nodded and confirmed to Keitel: "Anyway, these Ukrainian surrender troops have done us a great favor, right?" ”

"Yes!" Keitel replied without hesitation.

After all, the opposing camp instantly lacked the combat strength of seven divisions, and this kind of merit is already very worthy of praise in itself. That's not 7 companies, 7 battalions, 7 regiments, that's an army of 7 divisions!

No matter where you put it, it's a huge force!

And more importantly, these 7 divisions have also joined their own camp and become a part of their own combat power. In this way, the Soviet-German battlefield instantly changed the difference in strength of 14 divisions, which is equivalent to changing the original strength gap between the two sides and changing the size of a group army!

By the way, these seven defective divisions also took away a large amount of ammunition and oil supplies from the Soviet Army on the southern front, further reducing their combat effectiveness.

"I would like to commend the 2 army commanders who led the troops to surrender this time, as well as the 7 division commanders under their command. For the rest of the Ukrainian officers and soldiers, they will be rewarded with a military salary and food stamps equivalent to one month for officers and soldiers of the same level in the German army. ”

For meritorious heroes, Reinhardt has never hesitated to praise and encourage. Because he knew that only by giving such a vigorous reward to the advanced representatives would more and more people be willing to contribute to the service of the Third Reich.

After all, the role of a representative is endless.

Moreover, this level of reward is not difficult for the German government.

"Yes, my Führer!" Of course, Keitel also knew the pros and cons, and immediately took the order: "I will arrange this matter when I go back today." ”

"Wait!" As if remembering something, Reinhardt suddenly stopped Kettle.

"From Poland, Czechoslovakia and other regions, some ethnic Ukrainians were also recruited. Since the 7 Ukrainian divisions of Toucheng are going to form the initial Guards Division, they must be fully staffed. ”

Reinhardt said one by one: "The armament is fine, they themselves carry sufficient weapons to surrender, of course, we can provide some anti-tank guns and the Stalker tank destroyer that is being mass-produced recently." The key is the source of troops, we have not captured Ukraine yet, before liberating Ukraine, for the replenishment of the Ukrainian troops in our camp, let's find a way to recruit them from within the strength of the empire,"

"Very sensible arrangement." Keitel nodded after listening to Reinhardt's words, and didn't forget to pat himself on the back.

However, Reinhardt shook his head with rare modesty and said to Keitel: "I can only think of a small part, and there are many other details and places I missed, it is up to you Keitel to improve." ”

Although Reinhardt seemed to speak modestly, his expression seemed to enjoy Keitel's praise for him.

"The matter of liberating Ukraine will be decided for the time being, and after we take Kyiv, a special meeting will be held to discuss it."

With praise for himself and his subordinates who know how to applaud from below, Reinhardt also said a few more words in passing: "You will help me contact Steve, so that the SS can recruit SS foreign volunteers from the newly liberated Baltic states." The soldiers recruited in these places are generally very brave. ”

"By the way, you can also ask the Wehrmacht to send someone to the three Baltic countries to guide them in rebuilding their own armies, and then join the Allied war against the Soviet Union."

"Understood, my Führer." Keitel nodded quickly.

What Reinhardt just said, he basically thought about it, but at this time, the Führer proposed it, and of course he had to support it as a subordinate.

Then, although Reinhardt spoke quickly, Keitel didn't have to worry about not having a full memory. After all, in the office, next to him and Reinhardt, there was also a secretary who had been shorthand every word of the Führer.

Therefore, Keitel only needs to find the secretary to copy the contents of the shorthand book later, and he can follow Reinhardt's instructions step by step.

"Well, since there are more and more things on the Eastern Front, we need to get things done." After Reinhardt finished talking about his initial idea of the Eastern Front, he did not forget to give Keitel a final instruction on the war on the Western Front: "The British campaign, it's time to turn the page. For the small French army of Charles de Gaulle on the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, you should inform General Weygand of France and let him arrange a French landing force to solve the problem. ”
