Chapter 726: I need to fully grasp every move of the Soviet army
"Rommel's troops and Dönitz's aircraft carrier fleet have withdrawn!"
Himmler said.
"Withdrawn? Where did they withdraw? ”
Hearing such unexpected news, Manstein was surprised.
Rommel led his troops to withdraw to Italy and France to await a new arrangement for the Führer, while Dönitz left an aircraft carrier fleet to continue the battle with the British Royal Carrier Fleet; Staying outside the English Channel, he led the remaining carrier fleet to withdraw to the Mediterranean, and continued to fight with Cunningham's Anglo-American aircraft carrier fleet. ”
Himmler replied with what he knew.
"Sure enough, the Führer's thoughts are all unexpected!"
"There is no way to speculate according to ordinary people, just like our current battle on the Eastern Front, we are also intervened by him from time to time!"
Manstein said with a wry smile.
"Perhaps!"
"By the way, this time you are about to carry out the Kharkov sneak attack, do you plan to deploy Romanian and Italian troops?"
Himmler changed the subject.
"The Romanian troops fought bravely, the most valiant of all our client states; As for those Italian troops, who were mostly unreliable, they simply did not have the idea of fighting with all their might, and in the event of an unfavorable battle situation, they would fully surrender to the enemy army! ”
"If Mussolini hadn't been rescued by the Führer and had been controlled by the Führer, I'm afraid I wouldn't have continued to use the remaining Italian troops on the Eastern Front!"
"But even so, I still eliminated a lot of Italian troops, lest they affect the morale of our army!"
"So this time in the sneak attack on Kharkiv, I only mobilized Romanian and Ukrainian troops to assist us in the battle!"
"And the main core forces are still fighting with our Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS as the main forces!"
Manstein replied calmly.
"Since you have your own arrangements, then I will also take my leave, because then I still need to command our intelligence group, and try to enter all levels of the Soviet army and carry out infiltration work to obtain more Soviet intelligence!"
"If I can get useful military information then, I will let someone inform you as soon as possible! Marshal Manstein! ”
Himmler took his leave.
"Okay! I am always waiting for your good information, especially the intelligence of the officer that the Soviet army is preparing to unleash the battle of Leningrad Novgorod! ”
"Because I need to fully grasp every move of the Soviet army, or I won't be able to accurately deploy troops!"
Manstein thanked him with a smile on his face.
"Hmmm! Yes! ”
"Because the Führer is concerned about all the intelligence gathering work I am doing on the Eastern Front, you should soon be able to get the intelligence you want about the Soviet army!"
Himmler nodded.
Then the two of them shook hands and said that they had a happy cooperation.
At the same time, Manstein wanted to invite the other party to have something to eat before leaving, because he also knew that Himmler had come to him without breakfast or lunch.
But because Himmler felt that he still had a lot to do, he refused to eat with Manstein, and turned away in a hurry.
And Manstein immediately entered his own state of military deployment research, ready to think about his current military deployment, whether there are any loopholes that he has not noticed, and the supply situation in terms of logistics......
