"It seems that this Arnim, who likes to preserve his strength, really can't be reused! Or Rommel is better! ”

After hanging up Arnim's phone, Chen Yanlong suddenly made a decision in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, he could not help but recall what Rommel's aide-de-camp, Captain Bernd, had written in a letter to Rommel's wife that all the soldiers admired: "Field Marshal Rommel, as always, as in those old days; He would suddenly appear in the front of the infantry, and among the tank crews. And from time to time, it will appear at the moment of the fiercest attack, or the front line positions that are full of artillery fire. ”

And in the bombardment of artillery fire, he will lie on the ground as quickly as an ordinary soldier and dodge! And every time at such a moment, all the soldiers who fought with him would have blazing eyes and respectful expressions! ”

"Rommel, this desert fox, well! It seems that I have to meet and talk with this strong-willed, brave, hard-working, and scheming marshal! But before that, I have a few small things, so let's deal with them first! ”

After recalling, Chen Yanlong made a decision.

Then he called Joseph Dietrich into his room.

First Class General Josef Dietrich, one of the most important generals of the Waffen-SS and, because of his special relationship with Hitler, was Hitler's personal bodyguard in the early days of the Nazi movement.

Dietrich's real name was Joseph Dietrich, and most military history buffs are more familiar with his nickname, Zepp Dietrich.

"How is the formation of the 12th Waffen-SS division of the Hitler Youth "doing now? Is there enough people in the army? ”

Upon meeting, Chen Yanlong gave him a standard Nazi military salute after Joseph Dietrich gave him; At the same time as returning the salute, he asked urgently.

"This, this, I'm in the process of organizing personnel to build, please give me a little more time!"

Hearing this, Joseph Dietrich said a little embarrassed.

The reason why he felt embarrassed was not because this army had not yet been fully recruited.

It's because of the members of this army, many of whom have an average age of only 17 or 18 years old; And none of them volunteered to join, but many teenagers were forced to join.

Because after three years of fighting, there was already a shortage of personnel, so the SS could only frantically poach soldiers from among the young people, and this is the origin of the SS12 Division - the Nazi Scouts!

But the only thing that made Joseph Dietrich feel face-saving was that the division did not requisition a foreigner.

"In that case, the task of forming the SS12 division will be completed for me as soon as possible, within half a month; You'll have to assemble half a division for me and let me personally oversee their training! Otherwise, I will think about your position and transfer there to exercise well! ”

Hearing this, Chen Yanlong instantly pretended to be gloomy and said slightly angrily.

"Ahh Yes, Führer! I will definitely complete the task you gave me in half a month! ”

Hearing Chen Yanlong's slightly angry words and gloomy face, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart; Nervously, he replied loudly.

"Well, you don't have to be too nervous! For you are well aware that most of the rest of Berlin is now women, and there is no decent army; So I had to build an army myself to protect the people of Berlin! ”

Looking at the man in front of him, who tried to be his personal friend, arrested for participating in the July 20 incident, the murder of the Hitler clique; The famous SS general whom Rommel interceded with Lieutenant General Spaydar, Rommel's former chief of staff, Chen Yanlong, revealed a little about his plan to form troops in Berlin without thinking about it.

Of course, he did not say that he trusted Joseph Dietrich in front of him, but that he was now in great need of his ability to form the SS.

In fact, Chen Yanlong is still thinking about how to use Joseph Dietrich.

Although he was due to his poor background, his straightforwardness and humor, and his experience as a commando tank gunner in World War I; and his simple identification with the ideology of the Nazi Party that made Hitler trust him.

But the current Hitler is no longer the original Hitler, but Chen Yanlong from later generations.

So Chen Yanlong didn't plan to trust him too much and reuse him.

Although Dietrich had a very good chief of staff named Kramer; This man had been a Wehrmacht staff officer until 1941 and had extensive experience working in the Command; The subsequent transfer from the Wehrmacht was just right to compensate for Dietrich's lack of military expertise.

But in the historical materials that Chen Yanlong has read, it is clear that Dietrich is a person who has not received much education; Moreover, the intelligence is not outstanding, and the military ability is also average; He would also intercede for an enemy spy---- even though the spy was a good friend of Dietrich.

But with this, Chen Yanlong is in his heart; I couldn't help but be wary of Dietrich.

In fact, people are so eccentric, as long as they are not their own cronies who have personally supported them; What others have cultivated, there is no way to trust it right away.

"What! Führer, you're going to form a force in Berlin? But don't we already have the Waffen-SS? ”

As soon as he heard this, he was like Secretary General Martin Bowman; Surprised, puzzled, he opened his mouth wide.

"The current situation on the eastern and western fronts is not at all optimistic, and you are not unaware that our SS troops simply do not have enough troops to be assigned to these battlefields to fight; So how do you think I can get out of these SS units and once again draw extra troops out to defend our capital, Berlin? And our highlight of the year, Operation Bastion, the Battle of Kursk, is also about to begin! ”

"And our 1st SS Panzer Division, as well as the 2nd SS Panzer Corps under General Hausser, will also become the protagonist and important new force in this great battle!"

Facing Dietrich, who looked shocked, Chen Yanlong explained very calmly.

"But this seems to be ......"

Regarding Chen Yanlong's explanation, Dietrich suddenly said with a little hesitation.

"Are you truly loyal to me? Dietrich! ”

Although I don't know what Dietrich is thinking at this moment, hesitating; But Chen Yanlong's face immediately turned gloomy, and with a cold gaze, he forced Dietrich to ask word by word.

To this, Dietrich immediately knew that his response did not seem appropriate, angering the unfriendly demon in front of him.

So he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart trembled in horror, responding to Chen Yanlong's gaze.

"I am absolutely loyal to the Führer! My honor is loyalty! ”

At the same time, he immediately put the most famous aphorism of the SS, in a majestic voice; With the standard Nazi military salute, he spoke.

"Good! My honor is loyalty! Then after you are half a year, show me your loyalty and glory! The task of forming the SS12 division, if there is no way to form half a division for me within half a month; Cut me your Knight's Cross with two swords! ”

Chen Yanlong was still gloomy and said seriously.

"What!"

Hearing this, Dietrich shouted in horror as if his whole body had been struck by lightning.

Because of the Knight's Cross, this very famous badge of honor; For Dietrich, it was as important as his own life.

So when he heard Chen Yanlong say that the mission had failed, he asked him to cut off the Knight's Cross Double Sword Medal that he had just received in February 1943; At that moment, for Dietrich, who took his honor very seriously; How shocking, shocking, and astonishing; As well as the blows, it can be imagined.

"Of course, if you can complete my task smoothly, I will reward you heavily! So I hope you can do a good job and give me the task of forming the SS12 division! The reason why I am in such a hurry to form a unit is because the current situation on the front line is not very optimistic. ”

"So if the way I do things makes you feel too harsh, I hope you can understand my feelings! As the head of a country, I have an obligation to defend my country and protect my people from war! Contribute to our German Empire, and strive for the future foundation of our Empire! ”

In the face of Dietrich's shock, and unwillingness, and slight anger; Chen Yanlong immediately used a gentle voice to imitate Hitler's tone; and body movements, immediately throwing a sugar-coated ballistic.

"Ahh This ......"

In the face of Chen Yanlong's jumping thinking, he was still emotional; and the unwilling Dietrich, who had not reacted for a while.

"What's the matter, do you want punishment? Don't you want me to give you a reward? Or are you unwilling to contribute to the strength of our empire and to our people? ”

Seeing this, Chen Yanlong immediately said to Dietrich, who was stunned.

"No, no! Yuan, Führer, I do! ”

Hearing this, Dietrich, who had come to his senses; Immediately gave a standard Nazi military salute, and then responded in a deafening voice.

"Good! Do the task I gave you well! The task of defending Berlin depends on the SS12 division you have formed for me! Of course, Martin Bowman is also building another army for me, so I hope you build an army so quickly that you don't lose to him! Otherwise, the reward I will give him will be richer than the reward I give you. ”

Regarding Dietrich's response, Chen Yanlong nodded with satisfaction.

"What! Martin Bowman is also raising an army for the Führer? ”

Hearing such explosive news, Dietrich screamed in disbelief.

"There is no progress without competition! So you have to work hard! Now I still have something to deal with, so you can go back and find a way to form the SS12 division for me as soon as possible! ”

Looking at Dietrich, who was so surprised and screaming, Chen Yanlong responded without the slightest panic.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to issue an eviction order to end the talks.

Chen Yanlong was not at all pressured to reveal to Dietrich that he had also ordered Martin Baumann to organize another army for himself to defend Berlin.

Because Chen Yanlong knew very well that he was doing this, even if he didn't make it public, many people would soon know about it.

And among these people is Dietrich.

So Chen Yanlong simply told him about this matter in advance now, and took a look at the other party's reaction by the way.

"But the Führer, Martin Bowman is just a secretary general, how could you let him suddenly meddle in the matter of forming an army!"

However, under Chen Yanlong's eviction order, Dietrich did not leave obediently immediately, but asked anxiously.
