Chapter 717: Let everything be handled according to the Führer's wishes
"Marshal! According to the reports of the commander-in-chief of the Brandenburg Special Division, Theodor von Shipper, and the commander of the 1st Airborne Division, Richard Heydrich, our troops have successfully captured the Mass Island in the Strait, where the British troops were stationed! ”
"And almost all the British troops who resisted were killed, and they also killed a viscount and a chief of staff, their names were Viscount Gott and Chief of Staff John, both of whom were high-ranking officers of the British army!"
"Originally, we didn't plan to kill the British officers who surrendered, but because the other side carried out a sneak attack after surrendering to us, they wanted to shoot the commander-in-chief Theodore von Shipper, and the commander of the 1st Airborne Division, Richard Heydrich, and other high-ranking officers!"
"Therefore, out of concern for the safety of all high-ranking officers, the commander of the 1st Airborne Division, Richard Heydrich, sent those British officers and soldiers who pretended to surrender, but actually wanted to launch a surprise sneak attack!"
"So after killing these British officers and soldiers, Theodor von Shipper, the commander-in-chief of the Brandenburg Special Division, and Richard Heydrich, the commander of the 1st Airborne Division, and their high-ranking officers all sent a joint telegram to ask the marshal and the Führer for punishment!"
When the British army on the Channel Islands was almost completely annihilated by the Germans, the combat staff officer Bolanmu also hurriedly reported the battle situation to Rommel.
"Hmmm! Report to the Führer! As for their merits, I only reward and do not punish! ”
"The most hated thing in my life is those who pretend to surrender and then come to a stab in the back!"
"I'd rather they either surrender sincerely and wait for our disposal, or fight us to the last bit of blood, rather than do such a thing as a false surrender; Because such officers and soldiers are what I should respect! ”
Surrounded by a large group of officers and soldiers, Rommel used a long-distance telescope at the fortifications around Port Ceuta; Observing the naval battle in the waters around the English Channel, he replied very calmly.
"I think so too! Marshal! ”
Operational staff officer Bo Lanmu hurriedly agreed.
"That's right! Did the Führer send me any telegrams, or new instructions and orders? ”
Rommel put down his binoculars and turned to Bolanmu, the combat staff officer, and asked.
"The Führer is now watching the battle in Normandy and the English Channel in an AH-1 Cobra helicopter, protected by a large group of new fighter jets and bombers, as well as an AH-1 Cobra helicopter! ”
"At the same time, he also asked me to tell the marshal that you should return to Italy immediately after occupying all the islands in the LinkedIn Gili Channel!"
"Because the Führer has received information that Britain and the United States may launch air strikes and airborne landings in Italy and France, the Führer intends to deploy 50 divisions around France and Italy to conduct defensive operations and counterattack the invading British and American troops!"
Operational staff officer Bo Lanmu reported the latest combat order sent by Chen Yanlong that he had just obtained, and what Chen Yanlong had explained.
"Hmmm! Back to Italy and France? ”
"Aren't we going to attack North Africa this time, or are we fighting on British soil?"
"The Führer's thinking is so jumping, I can't seem to keep up with his rhythm!"
Hearing this, Rommel, who has always been calm and restrained, was stunned for a moment at the moment, and then said with a wry smile.
I thought that the Führer no longer casually meddled in military affairs, but who knew that he was still as autocratic as before, and he was still often involved in the deployment of troops and the appointment of officers.
That's why Rommel suddenly felt a little sorry, and he didn't know what the purpose of coming to the port of Ceuta so far away from Germany with his troops was so hard, was it just to give the British army a little color, we now have a strong land, sea and air strength, and we can defeat your navy, land and air forces set up in the English Channel at any time and did not go straight to the British mainland?
"Marshal! So how do we reply to the Führer now? ”
Looking at Rommel, who was suddenly distracted, Combat Staff Officer Bolanmu asked a little apprehensively.
"Everything will be handled according to the Führer's wishes!"
"Because now I can't see through his battle plan, what is the intention?"
"It's just a chaotic battle, a battle here, a battle there!"
"He's just a military idiot! No wonder everyone else is saying that he is a corporal who can only command small units in battle! ”
As soon as the words fell, Rommel couldn't control his temper and suddenly scolded angrily.
In this regard, all the officers and soldiers behind him were dumbfounded.
However, these officers and soldiers did not dare to say anything, because they all knew that Rommel was a master who dared to quarrel with Hitler, just like Guderian's temper.
As for the combat staff officer Bolanmu, he was also taken aback by Rommel's irritable performance, but after calming down, he also omitted all of Rommel's invective just now, leaving only one sentence: 'Everything should be handled according to the Führer's will!' He was ready to report to Chen Yanlong.
At this time, Chen Yanlong, who was riding in the AH-1 "Cobra" helicopter, also sneezed several times in a row for some reason.
"Is someone scolding me?"
"Why do you sneeze so much all of a sudden?"
At this time, Chen Yanlong was also depressed and muttered softly.
