22 promotion lists

The key is another thing, how did he get these things done without arousing suspicion from others?

You must know that he is now risking his life and has used a shadow army to fool many people, and this kind of thing naturally cannot be used forever, in case it is exposed, he will have to lose his life. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Slowly closing his eyes, Li Le's mind was filled with all kinds of memories and knowledge of his past life, which were buried deep in his mind, and now they were as clear as if they were placed in front of him.

It was as if he was reminiscing, recalling the past when he had read these books and materials.

These things were imprinted in his mind, as if as a kind of reward for his crossing, or rather a kind of compensation.

When Li Le opened his eyes again, turned over and sat up from the bed, his stomach was already a little uncomfortable with hunger.

Strictly speaking, he didn't wake up, but because of extreme hunger, he was woken up by hunger.

Of course, the Führer's breakfast can be prepared at any time, and when he saw the bread and milk, Li Le finally felt alive.

Eggs and milk with bread are more popular than vegetable leaves and potatoes for the soul of the 21st century.

He devoured two slices of bread and drank a glass of milk before feeling a little more comfortable in his stomach.

Fortunately, at this time, and the identity of the head of state, it was determined that the things Li Le ate had no additives or bad ingredients, and they could be regarded as relatively natural things.

So after eating another bread and milk, Li Le finally got rid of hunger and lived the subsistence life that the Chinese people longed for in the thirties - what seems wrong?

After breakfast, the Führer's day began, and he was to read the main contents of the newspaper that Bauman had given him, and then to summon Brauchitsch.

Colonel-General Walter von Brauchitsch, Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht, was also a commander of some skill but not much favored by the Führer.

At least in the promotion of field marshal, he was on the fast track, becoming the new field marshal of the German army twenty days later.

It's just that the number of marshals promoted with him is so large that everyone who gets the marshal's scepter is uncomfortable - if there are too many VIPs, it won't reflect the adjective noble, right?

Together with General Brauchitsch, there were more than a dozen army and air force commanders combined.

No matter what kind of official title it is, if you give it out more than a dozen in one go, it will also make it worthless.

Therefore, Li Le wanted to discuss with the commander-in-chief of the army whether he could cut these rewards by a part.

When General Brauchitsch walked into the Führer's office, he had a smile on his face. He was a pure army commander, and this was the time when the spring breeze was proud.

The conquest of Poland and the capture of France gave Brauchitsch unprecedented honor as commander of the army.

His troops accomplished what countless German generals had hoped for, and they did so cleanly.

In the past 40 years of Germany, everything has been so beautiful, with brilliant victories on the battlefield and the people in the rear living and working in peace and contentment.

These imperial generals have not yet tasted the bitterness of 1943, so the negative emotions are hidden under a dazzling halo, which makes people look at it unreally.

"Victory! Monarch! At the door, Brauchitsch, who had just won the French battle, raised his arm and saluted.

"Ah, Brauchitsch, my dear Commander-in-Chief of the Army!" Li Le took off his glasses, stood up and walked in front of Brauchitsch, smiled and patted the other party's arm, showing his cordiality.

This action was not very comfortable for Brauchitsch, because he had never experienced such an intimate reception from the Führer.

"The reason for calling you over is simple, the war on the Western Front seems to be over, and it seems that there is only one Britain left." Li Le said to Brauchitsch.

"You'll have to draw up a battle plan for landing in the UK, and you'll also have to be prepared for promotion...... I would like to congratulate you and thank you for your victory as a German commander. ”

Although the news of the promotion had spread from various cracks, Brauchitsch was still flattered.

He thanked him very politely, and expressed his gratitude to Li Le. Unfortunately, like most Prussian officers, he was not very politically minded.

After Li Le went around and found that the effect was not very good, he had to say bluntly: "Actually, I found that because of the victory, I need to promote too many generals." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Brauchitsch: "So I intend to condense this list of promotions to 10 people." ”

Brauchitsch raised his eyebrows, this was the first time he had heard of the scale of promotion, since it was said that it was to be compressed, that is, perhaps the number of marshals promoted would be much more than the scale of 10.

This is not good news for him, because after all, he himself sits in the position of commander-in-chief of the army, and is in a relatively high position for promotion.

This made him more willing to reduce the scale of promotion, and control the rank of army generals within a reasonable range, so as to facilitate his future command and transfer.

But none of this will be possible until the Führer leaves for Paris. Now, for the first time, the Führer spoke about the promotion of marshals in the presence of the Army.

I heard, after all, I just heard. He looked at Li Le cautiously, and persuaded softly: "My Führer, is ten people a little too much?" ”

Of course, Li Le knew that there were too many, but many things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. The head of state needs to win over the army generals, and if he does not give the position of marshal, how can he win the hearts of the other party?

At the same time, what made Li Le feel depressed was the position of the marshal of the Air Force. It's not easy for Milch to arrange.

Milch was promoted to general in the Air Force in '38, and if he were promoted again, it would displease Goering......

At the same time, Li Le wanted to promote Kesselring, a field marshal who can fight tough battles in the air force, but he also had to consider the feelings of Milch and Goering.

Just the Air Force has already been chaotic like it is now, if you count the vast sea of people on the army side...... Li Le thought about it and felt that his mind was not enough.

Brauchitsch and General Bock have worked hard and are also very prestigious within the army, so of course they must be promoted in this state to demonstrate fairness and justice.

In addition to the two of them, Li Le of course remembered the marshals who were more loyal to the Führer: Keitel and Kluger, and Reichenau.

These three men were the generals he very much wanted to promote, as they could be regarded as cronies and used to infiltrate the Wehrmacht.

So it seems that the first person Li Le decided to kill was the one he least wanted to see: Witzleben.

The rest of the things are too complicated, so Li Le had to ask Brauchitsch's opinion, or in disguise, he handed over the things that offended people to Brauchitsch to do.

As a result, Brauchitsch, as the commander-in-chief of the army, also fell into an incomparably tangled after reading the names of these candidates.

He found that many names were difficult to handle, and if he insisted on cutting them out, he would offend many people, even the head of state who was still smiling in front of him.

Brauchitsch, of course, knew that Reichenau could not be vetoed casually, because he was a fanatical Führer.

And Bock and himself, of course, can't be cut off, plus Rundstedt, that's already 4 people.

The commander-in-chief of the army, although politically very short-sighted and stupid, was definitely not a fool with insufficient intelligence, and he knew at a glance that Klug and Keitel were used to mix sand with the army.

Therefore, he is more and more reluctant to cut down Loeb and others who balance strength. In this way, if there is not a place left for the Air Force, the number of field marshals will go straight to the upper limit of 10 people.

He smiled bitterly and put down the name document in his hand, then looked at Li Le and said, "My Führer, if you need my advice to you, there are not many people here who can cut it. ”

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Brauchitsch could neither nor dared to meddle in the field of Air Force Commander Goering, so he thought that promotion on the Air Force side was definitely a sure thing.

Li Le also felt that this kind of thing, since the dead real head of state did not have too obvious sequelae.

Except for a few complaints from Manstein, who wrote a memo after the end of World War II, the others did not gossip.

So after some struggle, it was decided to promote all these people according to the original history.

But he still still had to cut some people, so he looked at Brauchitsch and said: "Witzleben's contribution to the war on the Western Front is average, so don't be promoted?" ”

Brauchitsch could not afford to go to war for a Witzleben and the Führer, and after twitching the corners of his mouth slightly, he nodded in agreement: "Since the Führer thinks so, I agree in principle. ”

In this way, after some severe compression, the list of July 19, 1940 was cut by one place - the hapless Witzleben, this time had to live with the title of general for the rest of his life.

Moreover, Li Leke, who was good at mending knives, did not intend to let go of this unlucky guy who later betrayed the Führer: "Let him go to the reserves, I need a steady general to sit there." ”

Brauchitsch thought for a moment and opened his mouth to persuade: "Even if Witzler is not worthy of promotion, he can be transferred to the reserve...... Isn't it a bit ......?"

Li Le sneered in his heart, this Witzler had done a sneaky conspiracy to overthrow the Führer in 1937, but it didn't work out.

If there is such a fool left now, does it not prove that he is stupider than the dead Führer?
