851 Commander-in-Chief of the Western Front, Rundstedt and Klug
"In any case, from today onwards, a new combat order will be issued to me, so that all officers and soldiers must get used to inferior weapons and equipment to fight the Soviet army, and also achieve victory!"
"And what about Fort Colles, and how is the defensive front on our home turf now? Had Manstein already built a defensive front in accordance with the Führer's instructions earlier? ”
"In the event of any unexpected war, I'm afraid we will really have to end up defending our homeland, as the Führer said!"
Looking at the helpless expressions of Chief Operational Staff Officer John and Chief of Staff Everfeldt, Moder said the worst in his heart.
"Now that the battle is not planned, it seems that it is not good for the commander to say such a negative speech!"
Hearing this, Chief Operations Staff Officer John and Chief of Staff Everfeldt, who understood Modell's competitive temper, also looked at each other in surprise, and then Chief of Staff Everfelt said in a joking tone.
"Perhaps!"
"Because the Führer has long said to me that no matter how smooth the war is, we must be ready to fight at home!"
"And we must fully build a flexible defensive circle for our native operations, and we must not allow the Soviet army, or the British and American troops, to attack the mainland of our empire, or our capital Berlin!"
Modell replied seriously.
After hearing this, Chief Operational Staff Officer John and Chief of Staff Everfelt looked at each other again, and their eyes flashed with surprise.
Because they were also the first person to make such a bad intention, it was actually the Führer who had been giving them new weapons and equipment recently, that is, Chen Yanlong's first idea.
Although the two of them were not very optimistic about Hitler's character and military ability in the past, and they did not dare to point fingers and say anything, but after Chen Yanlong crossed, not only did they give the German army a large number of new weapons and equipment to fight; Moreover, they won several major battles, did a lot of good things, and gradually carried out a series of reforms in the domestic economy, which gradually changed their impression of Hitler.
Of course, they didn't know that Hitler at this moment had been reborn by Chen Yanlong.
In other words, the current German Führer is no longer the murderer who was considered by the British, American, and Soviet allies in the past, but a person with decent ideas from later generations.
However, after the shock, Chief Operations Staff Officer John and Chief of Staff Everfelt did not answer immediately, but were seriously thinking about something.
And Moder didn't say anything more, he also fell into deep thought, and looked up at the snowy white sky again, and his thoughts drifted into the distance unconsciously.
At this time, at the German General Headquarters of the Western Front, Kesselring was also busy in a mess.
Because the British and American troops landed troops in Italy by airborne and sea transport, they fought fierce battles with the German army.
Although the defensive battle in the Cassino area of Italy this time was specially proposed by Chen Yanlong, due to the fierce situation of the current battle and the logistics and supply situation of the German army, there were some unexpected situations, so Kesselring did not have any sense of easy command.
Now he was fully focused, fully focused on the Battle of Cassino and the Battle of Sicily, which had not yet been counterattacked.
As for the two high-ranking commanders who suddenly arrived, Kesselring couldn't take the time to chat with the two of them right away.
In addition to the two of them, General Wallimont, one of the high-ranking officers of the German High Command, and Günther Blumentritt, then chief of staff of the Fourth Army, also arrived at Kesselring's headquarters.
However, these four high-ranking commanders and generals were immediately arranged by Kesselring to the reception room of the provisional government in Rome, waiting for Kesselring to be received after he had dealt with the battle at the front.
In this regard, the four high-ranking German officers did not say anything sarcastic or angry, but chatted with each other and laughed.
Of course, before and after they arrived at the meeting room of the Provisional Government in Rome, they were talking about the front, and even the Normandy line was talking seriously.
