Qin Chuan could understand what Rommel meant.

Rommel excelled at attacking, or rather, attacking and plundering cities. At this time, the war situation in Africa has reached a stalemate, and it would be a waste to keep Rommel in Africa any longer.

However, Qin Chuan was not sure where Hitler would transfer Rommel, who was historically transferred to Italy to organize a defense against the Allies with Kesselring, and then to northern France to improve the fortifications of the Atlantic barrier.

But because the Afrika Korps successfully resisted the Allied attack in Africa, especially holding Sicily, Italy was not in danger of being attacked, and Rommel naturally did not need to be transferred there.

Rommel didn't know the answer either.

"The Führer's orders are always unexpected!" Rommel said, "But I'll choose some of them to my liking!" ”

Rommel smiled confidently as he spoke.

Rommel's statement was true, and Hitler's failure was due to the fact that he regarded himself as a military genius who always commanded troops from a distance to interfere with the command of the front-line troops, which inevitably led to mistakes due to insufficient situational awareness of the front.

What sets Rommel apart from other generals is that...... He knew that the most important thing was victory, not the order of the Führer.

So, if he was sure of victory, then he did not hesitate to disobey the Führer's orders.

On the other hand, even if you strictly follow the Führer's orders, if the battle is lost, the Führer will still be furious and put the blame on you.

This is Rommel's advantage, and it also gives Qinchuan room to operate, otherwise all battles will develop step by step along the course of history under the remote control of the Führer, and eventually lead Germany to defeat.

The next day, a group of invited officers was notified to stand by the "balcony of history" and wait.

A few minutes later, Hitler walked up the stairs, surrounded by guards, shook hands with several officers around him, and then went to the balcony to get ready for the buckles on his uniform.

When the curtain opened, the cries immediately rang out, and Hitler held his head high and waved gracefully to the people below, each wave of his hand could bring a cheer.

To tell the truth, when the curtain opened, Qin Chuan was frightened by the scene in front of him, and the square below was full of people, men and women, old and young, holding large and small flags in their hands and waving their hands to the stage, and the guards at the forefront had to work hard to stop them so that the excited crowd would not rush up.

After a while, at Hitler's gesture of raising his hand, the crowd gradually quieted down.

Hitler began his speech with his hands dancing into the microphone:

"Today, we stand here! Stand on the land of the Germans! Stand in Berlin, the land that our ancestors watered with blood and dignity!

In front of me, standing is a people, a people groaning in humiliation! After the end of that war (the First World War), the pride of our nation was gone! The victors rode on our necks and trampled on our dignity, the dignity of one of the noblest nations on the European continent! You tell me that you are choosing to be like Benjamin. Like Martin, be a freedom fighter or a slave?! ”

The cheers rang out again, and many people responded loudly: "We choose the fighter!" ”

"You may say: Your Excellency, I need a job, a piece of bread. Yes. You're right, life is so important. But I'm going to tell you. There is one thing in this world that is more important than life, and that is freedom! That's dignity! ”

The people responded loudly:

"Free!"

"Dignity!"

Hitler continued: "What we need is not a loaf of bread!" It's a living space! A living space for a nation! This living space is not achieved by begging and protesting, but by iron and blood! It is achieved by fighting and dying! It is achieved by courage and life! ”

The atmosphere was once again brought to a climax, with the people waving flags and shouting Hitler's name.

"Today!" After a pause, Hitler continued: "I would like to pay special tribute to one man who fought for our freedom and dignity on the battlefield with courage and life!" I am honored to be able to present the 'Legendary Sergeant' with the Order of Silver Oak in front of you today! ”

The people were boiling again.

Hitler looked at Qin Chuan behind him, Qin Chuan didn't expect this to be the case, and he was stunned for a while and didn't know what to do.

Rommel next to him came out at the right time to play a round, he shook Qin Chuan's hand to congratulate, and then whispered: "Captain, the cries of the people will not be more terrible than the enemy's shells!" ”

Not to mention, Qin Chuan is used to facing the enemy, but today is the first time to face the enemy.

But after all, he had seen the world, Qin Chuan settled down and walked up, standing up and saluting Hitler.

The guards walked to the side with a red cloth padded with the Ten Medals of Cavalry, and Hitler carefully removed it from the tray, then hung it around Qin Chuan's neck and tied it, and then handed over the medal certificate.

"Well done, Captain!" Hitler shook Qin Chuan's hand and said: "The people will remember your efforts and that of all the officers and soldiers who fought on the front line, and lo and behold, they are cheering for you!" Hats off to you! Expressing their gratitude to you! ”

Qin Chuan took the certificate and waved his hand to the people below, and immediately brought a burst of cheers, Qin Chuan even saw Meyer and other people from the Youth League in the front row shouting at him.

"My compatriots!" Finally, Hitler shouted to the people: "Long live Germany and the German people!" Freedom, long live! ”

"Freedom, long live!"

……

The crowd shouted over and over again.

Qin Chuan had to admit that all this was very inflammatory, because even a modern person like himself couldn't help himself in this scene.

"Congratulations, Captain!" Heydrich stepped forward and shook Qin Chuan's hand: "You definitely deserve this medal, so I think you should go back to the battlefield, so it will be good for us, do you say?" ”

Qin Chuan understood the meaning of Heydrich's words, that is, let him leave the rear affairs alone, especially the manufacture of counterfeit banknotes.

"Of course, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "Just like General Canaris said, I belong to the battlefield!" ”

"Good!" Heydrich nodded, and then patted Qin Chuan's shoulder: "So...... I'm sure we'll get along very well! ”

Of course, Qin Chuan would not believe Heydrich's words, he knew that Heydrich would not let him go.
