"Now you know that it is not feasible to command a massive landing without any preparations?" As the head of Germany, Li Le looked at his officers and asked in a cold voice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Brauchitsch was looking down at the operational report on the landing on Crete, which was so jumbled that the field marshal had the urge to kill.

In his eyes, this is not a plan! There is no prior deduction and no process of argumentation. The whole plan is a letter of intent written by a general squatting in the office patting his head.

A record of the idea of "today I am going to fight XX place" is not a Wehrmacht battle plan that is known for its rigor.

"My Führer...... With all due respect, this is not a plan at all, or that Marshal Liszt's calculations in this matter are completely irrational. Brauchitsch glanced at Rundstedt beside him and said.

Rundstedt did not make such a quick statement, but closed the copy of the plan in his hand very gently, looked at Marshal Liszt, who had a somewhat unpleasant face on the side, and said comfortingly: "The time for the battle decision is too hasty, and this is also a last resort. ”

Hearing what Rundstedt said, Brauchitsch raised his eyebrows, and what could make Field Marshal Liszt make the decision to attack Crete in a hurry was Führer Hitler, who was sitting in the first place.

What did he just say? He just said that the matter was not well thought out - was this not pointing at the Führer's nose and scolding the street?

Although it was too late to regret it, Brauchitsch coughed to hide his embarrassment.

Field Marshal Liszt sat there without saying a word, and as the commander of the 12th Army, from the moment he carried out the Führer's order, he was going to take the black pot of rash action and ill-planned action on himself.

Anyway, he had already been promoted to the rank of marshal of the army under the care of the Führer. As a soldier, his honor has reached its peak...... It can be regarded as a favor for the head of state, and the two will not owe each other from now on. Liszt glanced at the Führer, who was sitting not far away, and thought to himself.

However, Li Le did not intend to let Liszt carry this black cauldron for himself, he looked at Brauchitsch coldly, opened his mouth in a low tone, and said gloomily: "I asked General Liszt to carry out the order!" ”

After saying this, he also added a shocking sentence: "He must carry out the orders of the Supreme Command, and there must be no modifications and disobedience!" ”

Hearing what the Führer said, Brauchitsch wanted to get up and say something, but was stopped by Li Le raising his hand.

Li Le pressed it with his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down: "I know what you want to say, you want to tell me that I am a layman and don't understand military affairs, so don't meddle in the affairs of the army." ”

He glanced at Liszt, as well as Rundstedt: "You still want to tell me, please let me honestly play Goering's air force, go play Raeder's navy, don't come to trouble the army!" Right? ”

Hearing the Führer say such things in a strange way, Brauchitsch was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, Führer. ”

"Listen to me first!" A pair of eagle-sharp eyes swept towards Brauchitsch, freezing all of the latter's words in an instant.

He looked into the other party's eyes, and the temperature instantly dropped to the extreme, and the air froze all at once.

Li Le liked Hitler's eyes very much, although they were not beautiful but they were intimidating enough. They were able to convey majesty and allow Hitler to stifle the absurdity of his subordinates who dared to offend him with just his eyes.

"But what I want the army to experiment, to understand, is precisely this haste!" Li Le spoke his mind and explained his decision to land on Crete in a hurry.

His palm pressed on the map, and his tone was not hurried but very high: "The army is very disappointed to me, you have not put the slightest energy into the combat training of landing in Britain, and the exercises that have been carried out with time and materials have never been seriously summed up!" ”

On the question of the landing maneuvers, Brauchitsch knew that he was at a loss, and suddenly there was no voice. Lundstedt and others, including Rundstedt, had just returned from the Eastern Front, and of course they would not bother with the landing exercises.

General Liszt was probably now the only one of all the senior commanders who had ever commanded a landing operation -- and everyone knew what kind of bears he commanded in the Cretan landing.

Even if there is only such a child's play-like landing, he is already the person with the most experience in commanding landing operations in the army, and it can be imagined how second-hand the remaining generals are.

"It was just a Cretan landing, and without a single enemy shot, we lost 100 soldiers on the beach...... If you were facing a beach with 500 soldiers, what a terrible resistance you would encounter, have you ever thought about it? Li Le ignored Brauchitsch, who was already a little out of reason, and continued to ask.

"When we lose 4,000 soldiers in an hour on the southern coastline of Britain, and then come back for this meeting, do I have a reason to hang a few marshals directly to discredit the honor of the empire?" Speaking of this, Li Le slapped the table heavily.

Sure enough, the Führer slapped the table and was indeed a very useful means of intimidation. Brauchitsch swallowed, and Liszt's face was much more relaxed.

Rundstedt lowered his eyes and looked at the copy of the Cretan battle plan in front of him, but he thought about some details in the plan.

If we exclude the rashness and impulsiveness of the plan itself, and judging from the data on the preparatory work and other aspects, we have to say that we have gained a certain amount of experience in cross-sea landing operations.

This includes how much artillery support was used and how long it took for the first landing force to be transferred to transport ships. The organization and coordination between the troops, as well as the difficulties faced by the landing, are described in great detail.

In this respect, it took the lives of only 100 soldiers in exchange for such a post-mortem experience, which is actually quite cheap.

What he didn't know was that the Allies had given up the lives of thousands of soldiers for the same landing experience......

"What am I doing this for? Aren't you rubbing your army's ass yet? When I really want you to fight the British, are you going to use a defeat to bury all our previous victories? The Führer, apparently not intending to abandon the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Brauchitsch, continued to question.

Brauchitsch was embarrassed, and his face was even uglier than that of his dead father. Being counterattacked by the Führer with such a reason, and being detained with such a big hat that he was responsible for the dead soldiers, even the commander-in-chief felt like he was on pins and needles.

Of course, seeing that Brauchitsch did not show too serious mistakes in the subsequent Barbarossa combat operations, Li Le did not intend to change his army commander at this time.

He chased and struck hard, and after Brauchitsch knew the Führer's coercion, he stopped his offensive just right: "I don't mean to blame anyone, I just want to explain to Field Marshal Liszt, after all, he acted only after listening to my orders!" ”

With this good start, the Führer was able to exonerate the obedient generals, and this invisibly established an internal faction in the army close to the Führer.

These generals, who relied on holding Hitler's thighs, could be sheltered by the Führer. And as long as these generals are obedient and conscientiously carry out Li Le's orders, then Li Le doesn't mind giving them support.

"I want everyone to know that we are fighting a war, not a game! If you lose the game, you will pay a few bucks at most, and if you lose the war, all of us here will be hanged! Will anyone be spared? Li Le glanced at his subordinates and asked.

"Even if you can escape the judgment of your enemies, can you escape the torment in your heart that ruined the future of your country?" He sneered, leaving everyone speechless.

"Since everyone doesn't want to lose the war, when it comes to landing in Britain, when the army comes to implement the Sea Lion plan, it will use the navy as a shield and not find its own reasons at all, is this the attitude that a soldier should have?" Li Le asked another question, but no one could answer it.

In the end, Li Le simply didn't ask any questions, and according to the copies of the operational plan and summary of the landing on Crete on the side of the map on the desktop, he opened his mouth and ordered: "Then put aside your prejudices, take a closer look at these things, and find the problems to be avoided!" That's what the meeting is for! ”

The answer to the Führer was that all the generals picked up the documents in front of them, carefully read the words on them, and the sound of turning the pages of the paper.

When the absolute authority of the Führer is used not to quarrel and complain to each other, but to improve the efficiency of analysis, the power is increased by several notches.

Soon, the German field marshal and the generals devoted themselves to studying the revelations of the Cretan landing battle, and no one tried to hold the Supreme High Command accountable for the sensitive matter of forcing the generals to carry out the disorderly order.

This kind of atmosphere is the atmosphere that Li Le likes, and it is also the atmosphere that he is used to as a technical head of state. He doesn't like intrigues, but likes everyone to work together to carry the load.

There was silence in the room, and everyone was looking through the documents and data that they had already looked through. Frankly speaking, after a different perspective, the meaning of this document is very different.

At least for now, the German generals, when they read this document, looked at it from a professional point of view, looking at the improvements and deficiencies, looking at the problems in the implementation process, not at the order itself......
