Paresi Hobert, born in 1885, is now in her fifties.

He graduated from the Royal Military College in 1904. During World War I, he fought in India and France, and after the war began his research on tank warfare, becoming a pioneer in this field.

For example, the British 1st Tank Brigade, which was formed at his initiative, was the first in the world.

It can be said that even Guderian, who became famous because of the blitzkrieg and became the most famous father of the blitzkrieg in Germany, has to be guided by Hobert.

In 1938, Hobert went to Cairo to serve in the British army in Egypt, cultivating and training a unit with high combat effectiveness, which was officially renamed the British 7th Armored Division on February 26, 1940, which was later known as the "Desert Rat".

It can be said that Montgomery would not have been able to achieve later generations without the foundation laid by Hobert.

It's a pity that Hobart will be an officer, but he will not be a person, and more importantly, his change has a fierce conflict with the high-level conservatives of the British army.

You know, the British Army is traditional and conservative, how can they change easily? Hobert's thinking of using tanks as the main force is simply deviant and should be tied to a pillar and burned to death.

The crowd condemned together, and as a result, Hobert was retired.

And now, Germany's blitzkrieg has created one result after another, and everyone is surprised to find that Hobert is right, so, regardless of those old stubbornness, after Churchill became prime minister, he directly intervened and recruited Hobert into the army, and now, Hobert is forming the latest 11th Panzer Division on his own territory, and at the same time, he is also a senior officer around Churchill.

Of course, Hobart also has another identity, the oldest major general on the European battlefield.

Hobert's burden was very heavy, he had to form troops, train troops, and grasp the development and production of tanks, and his importance was gradually manifested.

But now, Hobert's reminder made Churchill very unhappy.

War has nothing to do with civilians, this argument is extremely wrong, the enemy invaded his hometown, can he still work and work with peace of mind, as if nothing happened?

Churchill scoffed at the current situation in France, where did the arrogance of the Gauls go? They should be constantly organizing uprisings everywhere!

Take off your military uniform and be a civilian, put on your military uniform, pick up a steel gun, that's a warrior!

"Hobert, you are wrong, you don't see that now the entire people of Exeter are fighting to defend the city." Churchill said: "We are proud to have such a people, and if the people are united and mobilized, we will be able to achieve the final victory." We want to spread the word about the bravery of the citizens of Exeter across the country. ”

"No, that would lead to a horrific massacre by the Germans in Exeter!" "The Germans," said Hobert, "will not allow our troops to fight under the cover of the citizens. ”

Now the staff officers have hastily drawn up a new battle plan, and it is simply whimsical to want to stop the German army in Exeter.

In their imagination, the main battlefield of the real duel is probably still on the outskirts of London, with the help of the surrounding terrain, to fight a big battle.

They would send troops to Exeter, but they were just cannon fodder, and they only delayed the actions of the German army.

The Germans also know all this, they will speed up, and if the civilians get involved, the final terrible result will be that the Germans will massacre the civilians!

This is the last thing everyone wants to see, the army, is to protect civilians, but now, civilians have to pay the price for protecting the army!

That's what you want! If the Germans really come like this, then the will of the British mainland to resist will be even higher, and the support of the United States will be easier, look at how brutal the Germans are, even the civilians will not let go, we must bring down such a regime, and protect freedom and democracy!

Churchill thought in his heart, and in his mouth, he was still firm: "If the Germans really dare to do that, they are challenging the bottom line of the entire human civilization!" ”

At this time, it is best to bind with morality, through moral kidnapping, let the American people see that the Germans are such a madman, and if they rule Europe, it will be a disaster for the whole of humanity!

Hobart wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Churchill had already kicked him out: "Hobert, now, what you need most is to organize our armored division to conduct defensive operations on the outskirts of London. ”

The sorrow of the layman leading the insider, although Churchill reactivated Hobert, he still used the tank force as a defensive force, and the tank force should be offensive!

The Germans were marching towards London, setting up an ambush on the path that the Germans had to pass, and teaching the Germans a hard lesson, which was what they should do.

So now, Hobert has nothing to say, after all, he has no bottom in his heart, his own tanks are still unable to achieve an advantage in performance, and in this case, he is really uncertain about the victory or defeat of the Germans in a field battle!

Although the Germans had landed in Britain, Churchill would not give up the fight, and he believed that Britain still had the ability to resist!

Exeter, for example, is the city that stands tall, the city that fights, and inspires the British people.

At the same time, the news of the defeat of Exeter also reached the SS command, and Guderian immediately frowned when he received the news of the defeat of the 1st Division.

Every soldier of the Reich is the most precious treasure, and at the same time, the life of the Waffen-SS soldier is even more precious, and it must not be consumed in a British city for no reason!

"Immediately order, the troops of the 1st Division, to withdraw from Exeter temporarily." Guderian gave the order.

His order was conveyed at the right time, and in the city, the soldiers of the 1st Division, constantly falling into the trap of the British, did not counterattack on a large scale for fear of accidentally injuring civilians.

If we continue to fight, the casualties of the German army will be even greater!

Delaying time was obviously not good for the German army, but now, Guderian did not rush forward, and militarily, Germany still had the advantage, as long as they still had the port of Plymouth, they could transport a steady stream of troops.

What is needed now is an attitude from Berlin. Now Guderian is not only a military strategist, but also knows a lot of political troubles. 10
