Bowhicch has always felt weird lately, and as for why he feels this way, it probably has something to do with Reinhardt's promotion of 3 field marshals in one go.

Prior to this, Reinhardt honored Blahshitsch as the sole marshal of the army, and used this as a step to give Blahshitsch a compensation for relinquishing the right to be commander-in-chief of the army.

At that time, there were only two serving field marshals in Germany. One was Field Marshal Bowshitsch and the other was Admiral Raeder.

Brauchitsch, the marshal, was Reinhardt's psychological compensation for him, so that Brauchitsch would not be dissatisfied because he was demoted to chief of the army staff.

After all, in Germany, the glory of a field marshal is much more glorious than the position of commander-in-chief of an army. Prior to this, with the exception of a few field marshals appointed by Kaiser Wilhelm II in peacetime, only German generals who independently commanded a battle, won a battle, or captured a large fortress could have the rank of field marshal.

Brauchitsch was quick to accept such a step.

As for Raeder's Admiral, this is more or less inseparable from Reinhardt's background and navy.

As the original "navy", Reinhardt would have been a little unreasonable if he had not set up a marshal in the navy.

As for the Air Force, both Catherine and Hugo have a good chance of becoming marshals.

Catherine in history, after the Battle of France, was crossed by Hitler to the rank of general and directly promoted to marshal.

And Kesselring in this life is still being left in the position of general by Reinhardt in accordance with the rules and continues to temper.

On the Air Force's side, there was no promotion to marshal after the French campaign. Catherine and Hugo, two air generals, have been hung like this, and continue to compete for the position of marshal.

As for the army, the German army defeated the French army, which was once the largest in the world, and in this war, Germany defeated the Belgian Eben. The fortress complex of Emar Fortress, bypassing the world-famous Maginot Line, defeated the Anglo-French-Belgian alliance in one go.

With such a great feat, Reinhardt was going to appoint 3 marshals, which seems to be completely in the past.

Moreover, Reinhardt thought that he had reined in much more than Hitler's historical practice of appointing 12 marshals at a time.

In order to take care of the mood of the Army, Reinhardt even two absolutely excellent generals in the Air Force shelved the promotion of the Field Marshal in the Air Force because of Manstein's suggestion that "he made a contribution, but in no way compared with the Commander-in-Chief of the Army."

Eventually, General Fedor von Bock, who commanded Army Group B, advanced into the Low Countries and attracted the main forces of the coalition forces to the north into the encirclement, was promoted to field marshal based on his exploits.

Gerd von Rundstedt, who commanded Army Group A and carried out decisive actions in the French campaign to cut off the defense lines of the Triple Alliance in the Ardennes, was also undisputed to the rank of Field Marshal.

The promotion of the third marshal was somewhat controversial for General Wilhelm Ritter von Loeb, who led Army Group C in a sustained skirmish attack on the Maginot Line and the Upper Rhine, and was responsible for making a feint to attract the attention of the enemy.

The general's merits were relatively not so dazzling, and it seemed that anyone could do his task, so compared to the promotion of the other two marshals, it was inevitable that some of the red-eyed generals would occasionally talk about it.

But with Elek's unique prestige in the German Army, especially among the artillery, his promotion was ultimately impeccable.

In this way, Blahshitsch, the only field marshal in the German army, instantly met three more field marshals of the same rank, and shared his unique brilliance.

The point is that Reinhardt's marshal promotion this time, Bo Laohitch still can't find a little bit to find fault with!

The three marshals who were promoted can be said to be the three oldest marshals in the army. Whether it's Rundstead, Lebu, or Bock, they are all much more senior than him.

Not to mention anything else, at least Bo Laoch, who is almost 59 years old this year, is actually the youngest among the four field marshals!

In fact, Reinhardt still wanted to give himself the title of Imperial Marshal and proclaimed himself an Iron Cross and a cross. After all, he also considered himself to be the fastest-promoted general in Germany, and he had made great achievements.

However, Reinhardt finally reminded Paulus of the danger of degrading the marshal's value in light of Paulus's advances, and thus abandoned the title of Imperial Marshal.

As for setting a new offensive speed record in the history of warfare, Lieutenant General Guderian led the 19th Panzer Army to break through the Ardennes Mountains in less than six days and drive straight through France for more than 400 kilometers.

Blitzed Norway, led the 30th Infantry Division to annihilate the Anglo-French Norwegian Front, and then moved to Lieutenant General Hans of France.

Most of the meritorious service members have also been rewarded for being promoted to the next level.

Perhaps it was to catch up with the frenzy of promotion to marshal, in addition to Germany, following behind Germany, Italy, which was lying to win, was also promoted to a marshal.

That's right, this admiral secretly threw himself into Liefer under Rosie's command.

After being identified as Rossi's man, Leffel received a notice in the second week that he was going to attend the marshal's promotion ceremony, and successfully became the first marshal to come out of the Italian Navy since the beginning of World War II.

As for the British, they wanted to make Lord Gott a hero in defeat, a wise general who withdrew his troops to Dunkirk.

For this reason, they even blamed the later defeat of Dunkirk on General Alexander, who took over.

It is a pity that Lord Gott intuitively did not accept this propaganda title of marshal, and rejected the promotion that Churchill had offered him to be marshal.

In the end, Churchill gave up the idea of competing for the promotion of marshal like Reinhardt, and changed the original marshal candidate, Lord Gort, to the governor of Gibraltar.

France, as the defeated side, whether it was Petain's Vichy France regime or de Gaulle's Free French regime, was embarrassed to be promoted to marshal.

As a result, Petain simply promoted Berente, who had been promoted to "marshal", to the governor of Algeria.

De Gaulle, on the other hand, gave himself the rank of general, and held the military and political power of Free France, and was in charge of the navy, land and air forces of Free France.

Interestingly, Ghisling, the de facto ruler of Norway, believes that Norway also needs a field marshal.

As a result, he forcibly promoted Vice Admiral Auger, who had participated in the German-Norwegian combined fleet, to the rank of marshal with the credit for his victory in the Battle of the North Sea.
