Chapter 140: The White Plan (I)

Just when a group of neatly dressed generals, with shiny epaulettes and shiny leather shoes, began to consider whether to send Reinhardt to a mental hospital, Reinhardt, who was like a psychopath, spoke again:

"O my God! The entire army elite of the Third Reich, not a single tough bone dares to bet with me? ”

With a bang, Reinhardt stabbed the hornet's nest. Originally, you were going to carry out your policy, just give a direct order. Although there will be opposition among the generals, the German generals have always taken execution as the criterion, and they will certainly do it in the end.

Betting on streaking? Generously allowed to wear a pair of panties, what the is this good to discuss?

In the end, there is a radical method to stimulate these commanders who have been in the army for decades!

A politician who has to make a 100 percent determination on a military issue with a dead face is not leaving a way out for himself or saving face!

Seeing that the generals were already on fire, Reinhardt simply threw out another hole card: "Don't say that I don't listen to everyone's opinions and insist on going my own way." I'm going to put it here today, if anyone bets against me, Britain and France sent troops to storm western Germany during the German-Polish war. Well, the next military operation was immediately carried out according to his backup plan. And I will never ask for military operations above the battalion level from now on........"

"What? Wouldn't anyone dare to bet on their own judgment? Are you a military strategist or am I a military strategist!? ”

"Good!" Rundstead, who had long been unable to hold his breath, gave Reinhardt a rare salute instead of a military salute, and then said in front of everyone: "Since the head of the state has spoken, then I, the general who put forward the opinion, will not shirk it." The subordinates will bet on such a game today according to the Führer's wishes. It is just hoped that the Führer will abide by his promise and let the Army General Staff take full responsibility for the command of the operations behind him after the loss. ”

Depend on! Rundstead, the most senior general in Germany today. Reinhardt was thrilled at the thought that he would be able to run around the center of Berlin in a pair of pants in the near future.

Although the general Rundstead was known for his modest performance in World War II, it did not hide his prowess in infantry group tactics.

For the veteran Rundstead, when Sickert was still alive, he praised his military talent many times, and asked Reinhardt to respect him more and be humble.

From a political point of view, Sickert's assessment of Rundstead is that the general represents a passing era!

From the military aspect, Reinhardt, who was a fan of World War II before the crossing, also admired the label of Rundsteadt: steady and steady, but dared to invest troops and was good at grasping fighters.

In terms of the ability to plan a good plan, Rundstead may not be as precise and perfect as a commander like Manstein, who came from the general staff. But if he really puts it on the battlefield, his on-the-spot command ability can definitely give his opponent a headache.

Rundsteder's strength lies in his mastery of his many years of experience. He can always put his troops in the most lethal position against the enemy in the shortest possible time. As a result, the enemy commander was exhausted and entered into the rhythm of the war that he had set.

This skill of controlling the situation of the war is the most typical symbol of him in the entire World War II in history. So much so that many later generations of World War II misunderstood that he did not have any means to win by surprise, but just commanded the troops step by step. However, it is precisely this kind of steady and steady combat that best reflects the profound skills of a general.

can let such an arrogant general suffer a dumb loss from himself, earn, make a big profit!

Although Reinhardt was excited in his heart, he still had a righteous and awe-inspiring expression on the surface: "Everyone knows that honesty is my criterion for life. As the head of a country, my words naturally carry weight and will not break my word. ”

At this time, do you remember that you are the leader of a country? Where did you have the slightest hint of the Führer's appearance in that madman-like image just now? At this moment, I don't know how many people below despise Reinhardt, who says one thing and does another.

"Well, General Rundstead is off to a good start. Then who else bet with me? Reinhardt, who had been fooled into a Rundstead, was clearly not satisfied, and turned to look for his next target with great interest.

"Admiral Bock? Why don't you add one too? ”

"No, no, no......"

"Admiral Kluger, bet on one, it's fun."

"Uh....... Forget about the subordinates. I actually think that the Führer's previous analysis makes sense. ”

"It doesn't matter if it makes sense. After all, the British just made a guarantee to Poland, so it's a gamble......."

Who would dare to bet? No one dares to bet!

Rundstead is a veteran of the army, and he can still talk to Reinhardt. With all these left, how many can really sing against the Führer?

Needless to say, the Air Force is all Reinhardt's cronies!

Navy? If you want to launch a few more warships, you have to ask the Führer, who loves aircraft carriers, to be gracious.

How many of the remaining high-ranking generals of the army were not pulled up by someone else's head of state?

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the Führer's phrase "after losing, there will be no more military operations above the battalion level." A handful of old Rundsteadt will not rush forward and make such a brainless bet with Reinhardt.

Yes, he likes to run, and he wears very little even in winter. But that doesn't mean he likes not to wear it at all!

After many years in the army, a small second lieutenant who graduated from a military academy, step by step to today's position, Rundstead has always relied on his rigorous style and solid military theoretical skills. He has always been in awe of war. The most unsightly person is the kind of politician who thinks he has come up with a complete idea and gambles with the lives of soldiers.

Although Reinhardt was also a politician who came out of the army, he also claimed to be the protégé of General Sickert, whom he respected the most. However, Rundstedt did not think that Reinhardt's experience at this age would allow him to anticipate everything first, and he would have no last resort.

In addition, the action of Britain and France to send troops to take advantage of the situation is completely lacking from a military point of view, and it is the best policy. Rundstead had no reason to give up on his ideas.

However, Rundstead was, after all, a responsible general. Although he had opinions, he still tried his best to complete the task assigned by Reinhardt. After making the bet, he immediately and seriously reported to the Führer: "My Führer, regarding the situation at the front, I have asked the General Staff to prepare a document. After reading it, you will have a deeper understanding of the situation at the front. Perhaps, by then, you will be able to truly understand our situation. ”

In the end, he is a respectable veteran, no wonder Hitler in history has a trace of residual thoughts after his two recalls. With this conscientious and responsible attitude, Rundstead deserves to be regarded as a representative figure of the German commander. No matter how many opinions he has, he will always conscientiously implement the affairs assigned by the Führer.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and after Reinhardt confidently looked around the conference hall, he said loudly: "General Rundstead's rigorous responsibility is worth learning. However, the information is exempt. ”

In Rundstead's puzzled gaze, Reinhardt waved his hand and laughed: "I am also the apprentice of the previous commander-in-chief of the army, General Sickt. I have also seen every aspect of the formulation process of the "White Plan". Speaking of which, I can memorize it. ”
