Chapter 420: Arrangement

The German campaign in France came to an end, and the German army even began to build and repair various military installations in France mainland for several uses.

On June 7, 1940, in the suburbs of Paris, France, a plane landed slowly over a military airfield that had just been restored by the German army.

That's right, this aircraft is a well-modified aircraft. A special plane for the head of state with a very high safety factor.

It is said that the safety factor of this special plane is high, not only because Reinhardt, who naturally cherishes his own life, requires it to be greatly modified. Again, the fact that the 20 F-190 fighter jets that escort it around it is also telling.

These 20 of the Luftwaffe's most advanced fighter jets, like bodyguards in the air, kept watch around the Führer's plane.

Gradually, the plane slowly stopped on the runway of the airport, the roar of the engine gradually faded, the speed of the propeller slowly decreased, and when it came to a complete stop, the door of the plane finally opened.

The ladder was lowered slowly. Immediately afterwards, a group of tall soldiers in SS uniforms jumped out of the plane and stood on both sides of the cabin and the spiral staircase, followed by a second group of soldiers in the same attire and size, who disembarked and stood around the plane to be on guard.

About two minutes later, a man with a black suitcase and sunglasses slowly stepped off the plane.

That's right, this dressed person is Reinhardt, who likes to pretend to be cool.

In fact, under the promotion of Reinhardt, the German Rheinhole consortium launched sunglasses even earlier than the American Ray-Ban company.

Moreover, the sunglasses launched in Germany appeared a full year earlier than the product that the Americans had just launched in 1935, and the appearance of German sunglasses was more handsome and good-looking.

It stands to reason that June in the Northern Hemisphere should be warm. But probably because of Reinhardt's arrival, the wind howling on the airport seemed so depressing.

Since it is on an open airport runway, this smashing atmosphere is even more pronounced.

Reinhardt walked to the door of the cabin and descended the ladder step by step, followed by the Minister of Propaganda Goebbels, then the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ribbentrop, followed by the secretary and other subordinates.

They were nothing more than to take credit for the Reich, to exaggerate the victory in the war against France, and then let their own media report on the German people to strengthen their war mood.

At the same time, standing on the runway to greet the Reich Führer were the German commanders in the war against France, as well as the most sought-after generals of the Reich.

After completing the plan assigned to them by Reinhardt for the French battle, they were discussing the next step in forming a new corps to conduct a landing operation against the British and French colonies and the British Isles in the future.

But at the moment, all they need to do is enjoy the victory.

Germany defeated the world's largest army, the world's largest navy, and the world's largest air force.

What could be more inspiring than such a result!

"Reinhardt Heydrich, long live!"

The wind at the airfield was getting stronger and stronger, and the wind was rubbing and rustling the leaves on the ground, and because of this, the voices of the generals seemed to be particularly loud, as if they had some kind of penetrating power.

Guderian and Rommel stood in a salute, both wearing the Knight's Iron Cross with oak leaves, and wearing the uniforms of freshly made generals.

Rommel has been famous for a long time, and in the French campaign he was mainly responsible for arranging the overall dispatch of armored forces, which belonged to the rear command level. Guderian, on the other hand, was given the opportunity to command the front line on the French front and belonged to the front line command level.

However, in any case, the merits of the two generals were so great that they were promoted to the rank of general without objection, which can be said to be the youngest two general officers in the empire.

Except, of course, Reinhardt, the former admiral, who is the most demonic existence in the empire, because of his "special function", he was able to rise step by step to the pinnacle of power because of his "special function".

Not to mention the youngest general, Reinhardt is even the youngest Führer.

"The two generals have worked hard!" Reinhardt patted Guderian and Rommel on the shoulder, and then smiled at the two of them, very amiable.

He continued: "Both of them contributed to all the French battles, including the Battle of Dunkirk. Especially Rommel, I heard that sometimes because of the war situation, you don't sleep for a few days, which is not very good for your stomach problems, so you should pay more attention to your body. ”

The Führer even knew that he had a stomach problem ?!

Rommel was obviously surprised, for he had not spoken to anyone but his wife so far.

For a moment, Rommel, who had always believed in atheism, even wondered if Reinhardt was really the reincarnation of the omniscient and all-powerful God.

"Führer, this is what I should do, I was born for the honor of the Empire."

However, without having time to think about it, Rommel responded to Reinhardt's concern first. After all, the Führer is a kind intention, reminding himself that his body matters.

"General Rommel, I have a special task for you here, I need you to form a special force to take charge of the North African battlefield."

Reinhardt asked earnestly, "The reason why it's special is because it requires you to be on your own in an unfamiliar environment abroad." After all, I don't have any hope that the Italian Mussolini government will not report it, let alone their North African strategic concept, and in the near future I will transfer you to North Africa to clean up the mess left by Mussolini in North Africa, because the Italian government is really disappointing, so it may be very difficult, do you have confidence? ”

Rommel, who had already worked with the Italians once in Spain, clearly knew how unreliable the Italian army was. However, his greatest concern is not only the problems of Italy's allies.

"I respect the Führer, and it will be a great deal of hardship for our army to fight far from the German mainland, especially the transportation of strategic resources, which is an influencing factor for us to fight in the North African theater." Rommel had accumulated a great deal of experience after fighting in Spain and later in France, and he understood the crux of the war with only a little thought.

In an environment far from the homeland, tanks, armored vehicles and fighters will inevitably consume huge oil and gas resources. Therefore, strategic supply has become the key to victory in the war, as long as the strategic supply is in place, then the battle situation will also be firmly in your own hands.

"Supplies are not something you have to think about. Leave this to me, I will try my best to meet all you want, what you should do is for me to find a way to win the war, find a way to take Egypt, and control North Africa! ”

Reinhardt said with great ambition: "I want you to be the conqueror of North Africa, and all of Africa will feel unprecedented fear at the mention of your name, and this fear comes from your Afrika Korps, from the African lion of the empire, who is far away from the country and still has a strong fighting power!" ”

"General Rommel, I am sure that you will conquer Egypt, and we await your good news in Berlin. At that time, you will be one of the greatest soldiers of the Empire, and I will personally hand you the Marshal's Scepter! ”

Reinhardt stopped talking, just stared at Rommel, his eyes full of expectation and affirmation.

"My beloved Führer, I promise to complete the mission, and in the near future, I will definitely hold Africa in the palm of my hand for the Empire, and I will definitely do my best to protect the interests of the Empire!" After that, Rommel solemnly raised his hand and saluted: "Reinhardt Heydrich, long live!" ”

Hearing Rommel's answer, Reinhardt nodded with satisfaction, and turned his gaze to Guderian again: "General Guderian, your task is to strengthen the defense of the Eastern Front, if the Soviets take advantage of the situation, you will have to rely on your armored forces to stabilize the situation." ”
