"It's good, the chef here is really good, I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time." Lieutenant Colonel Garrett, commander of the Wehrmacht garrison in Dixmoyd, Belgium, said to Xu Jun happily with a satisfied expression: "General, it is my honor that you can invite me to lunch, and I can talk to you, the greatest military strategist of our German Army, so that my other colleagues will know that they will die of jealousy.

You are now the idol of all our Army officers, and at least in our Third Army, your military strategy and those brilliant tactics have become the favorite topic of discussion among all officers. Especially the junior officers, they have admired you to the extreme, and now if anyone wants to make any doubts about your military talents in front of them, they will duel with that guy to defend your honor, hahaha. Thankfully, no one has been hurt yet, but after this victory, I don't think anyone will ever make that kind of statement anymore, and you have proved your ability to the people of all Europe, nay, the whole world, with these great victories. You make the German Army raise its eyebrows again, and let those who oppress us see that the German Army is still as invincible as it was in the past. ”

Garrett's face flushed with excitement there, and if it weren't for his admiration and respect for Xu Jun, he might have brandished his knife and fork to express his excitement.

This is an excellent German mid-level officer, Xu Jun has read the file of this city defense commander, like other front-line officers, he is hot-blooded, rude, tough, ruthless on the battlefield, regards honor as life, but in peacetime he behaves like a standard gentleman, and even gentle and kind people can't believe it. The German ** people are a mixture of two simple personalities, Xu Jun is very interested in the fact that the German ** people will have this strange character, what kind of education will make these German ** people like this. The two extremes of behavior can be so naturally concentrated in one person. He can be cruel and ruthless like a beast in battle, but a perfect man in peacetime, elegant and polite.

Maybe this is what the Germans have been pursuing for hundreds of years, this is what the Germans think is the most perfect image of a soldier, so they spent a whole hundred years creating a group of German ** people, such a strange character.

Fortunately, these Germans regard the preservation of the honor of the German team as their first belief, and they still maintain the deep-rooted self-esteem and self-discipline of the German team, otherwise that split personality will sooner or later turn them into a group of hypocritical beasts or shameless killing machines, just like those SS and the Japanese Army in the far east.

We must let the German team continue to maintain their sense of honor and self-restraint habits, and resolutely maintain the discipline of the army at all times. Xu Jun felt that he had found the reason for the rapid decline of the German ** team after the French campaign, this was an army that could not withstand defeat, when they thought that their honor was gone, when they felt that they could do what they wanted, when the iron discipline began to loosen, the once glorious and elite army would disappear, and they would become a group of real beasts, beasts that could walk and talk and use advanced weapons.

No, this is something that Xu Jun can't tolerate, he definitely doesn't want to watch these soldiers slide down that road, and he never allows the German ** team to fall in front of him. Although these things have not happened yet, now that I have seen the possibility of developing in that direction, I must take this issue seriously. He is creating history, so it has to be the history he wants to see, and the German Army has become a humanoid beast like the Japanese Army, which Xu Jun definitely does not want to see.

"General, what are you thinking?"

Hans's soft call pulled Xu Jun back to the table from his thoughts. The people at the table had long since stopped talking, and they sat quietly looking at Xu Jun with awe-struck eyes. The great commander had been staring at the food in front of him for a long time, and no one dared to speak any more, for fear of disturbing the genius's thoughts, and perhaps he was thinking of a new brilliant battle plan.

"Oh, haha, I'm sorry, I'm distracted, I'm so sorry, I'm very sorry."

Xu Jun felt that it was really impolite to be distracted at the dining table, not to mention that he was still the owner of the table today, and Xu Jun felt very embarrassed to see everyone stop eating because of him.

"It doesn't matter, Your Excellency, you must be thinking about some very important questions, whether you have come up with some brilliant battle plan, we really want to know. Hahahaha. "A staff officer of a major from the headquarters of the local garrison came out and made a round.

"yes, we're curious right now, the questions that make you distracted must be very important, and we're curious to know what makes you think for so long, haha." Garrett also said on the side.

"Discipline! What I'm thinking about is discipline. ”

Xu Jun replied with a smile: "Please forgive me for the rude in front of me, when the lieutenant colonel was talking about the brilliant achievements of our army, it made me think of the discipline of the German ** team." ”

Xu Jun picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip of red wine, then forked a piece of smoked fish from his plate and put it in his mouth.

"Let's continue eating, we can talk while we eat."

The garrison officers present immediately relaxed when they heard Xu Jun's words, and the sound of cups and plates intertwined sounded on the dining table again.

"General." Garrett slice the barbecue that had just been served and asked Xu Jun, "What is the discipline problem you think of about?" Aren't we, the German Army, proud of having iron-clad discipline? ”

"It is true, Lieutenant Colonel, that we have the strictest, most perfect, and most civilized discipline in all of Europe. And from now on, it seems that we are very satisfied with the execution of our discipline, but have you ever thought about it, in battle, iron discipline guarantees the victory of our army, so we abide by it, but what about after victory, if we have defeated all the enemies. Will our military be able to obey discipline as firmly as it is now, and will our officers be able to continue to enforce these disciplines? ”

Xu Jun paused for a moment and glanced at the officers at the table. Some officers listened to Xu Jun's words and began to bow their heads in contemplation, and some looked at each other with their colleagues in confusion.

"Think about it. Everyone is familiar with the Soldier's Handbook. That is the most basic discipline that every soldier must follow. On the battlefield, they did strictly observe these disciplines, but after the battle.

Let's take the cities we occupy now, whether our soldiers can still observe those disciplines in the cities they occupy. Of course, this will not happen now, but in a year or two, there is no guarantee that these disciplinary problems will appear. What will the officers do at that time, they may also let go of these soldiers who have followed them to their birth and death, and then these things will happen more and more, and they may become worse. Then the military discipline of the entire German ** team began to slacken, and the soldiers began to degenerate.

When the glorious German Army was tainted by all sorts of shameful crimes, the honor of invincibility would also leave the German ** team. ”

"General, this is terrible, you are not prophesying anything." Garrett was frightened by Xu Jun's words.

"This is not a prophecy, it is a mistake made by all the conquerors in history, and countless once powerful and noble armies have been destroyed in their own indulgence. Countless once-glorious empires have been labeled as brutal and evil because of this, spurned by future generations, or simply destroyed, and then drowned in the long river of history. The defeat of every conqueror begins with a lack of military discipline. You now know what I'm trying to say. ”

"General, you want the German ** team to strictly abide by their own discipline at all times."

"That's right, at all times the German ** team must strictly abide by military discipline, and anyone who violates military discipline must be punished as he deserves. Only by continuing to adhere to the iron discipline can we not make the mistakes made by the ancient kings, we can be invincible forever, and we can always maintain the honor of the glorious German team. ”

"I understand what you said, you're right. That's true. If the German team begins to indulge themselves, then no matter what great victories they have won and how great honors they have, it will all be covered up by those sins. This is something that we must not allow. We will never allow the German team we love to be disgraced for this reason. You are truly the greatest general I have ever met, and you have a vision far ahead of all of us. I feel the supreme honor to serve such a great and noble soldier as you. Hans was the first to understand what Xu Jun meant, and he couldn't help but be excited that the German ** team had such a sober and wise leader.

The officers immediately understood the general's concerns, and they were also impressed by Xu Jun's advice, and they also agreed with Xu Jun's opinion, and they admired the young commander even more.

While everyone was talking about how to keep the German team disciplined, the door to the cafeteria was opened. Two disgraced SS officers appeared in front of everyone.

"Report, Your Excellency the Distinguished Deputy Head of State. Please forgive us for interrupting your lunch, we have something important to report to you. Daogen stood upright at the door and said loudly to Xu Jun.

How did they get back? Xu Jun thought it was very strange, the two of them were sent by Xu Jun to Mueller yesterday afternoon to fight for themselves, they should be waiting for them to arrive at the front line, could there be anything to do at the front line. No, if there is any problem, Mueller will send a telegram to himself, and there is no need for these two people to rush back to report it in person, it seems that something important must have happened. The faces of the two officers, their uniforms were covered with dust, and they looked embarrassed, and it seemed that they had not suffered less along the way.

"Everyone, I'll be with you." Xu Jun said hello to the officers, then stood up and walked towards the two men, Hans also quickly stood up, nodded to the officers, and hurriedly followed Xu Jun behind. Xu Jun did not stop when he walked up to the two SS officers.

"You come with me." Xu Jun said to them, "Let's go to another room." Then he left the restaurant and walked towards the side of the lounge.

Dogen Randolph and Hans followed closely behind Xu Jun.

Walking into the lounge, Xu Jun asked all the attendants there to leave, and then asked two guards to guard the door. After everyone was seated, Xu Jun asked the two SS officers: "What happened, has the war changed in any way?" Why didn't Muller send a telegram and ask you to come back and report it yourself? ”

"Deputy Führer, there are no problems on the battlefield, according to your plan we have achieved the final victory in this battle. We come back with two missions, the first of which is to report to you on our final results and our losses in this campaign. The second task was that the Commander of the British Expeditionary Force, Gott, was ready to surrender to us, but he asked us to hand you this letter from him, saying that they would not lay down their arms until you had answered. As he spoke, Dougan pulled out a few papers and a letter from the bag he was carrying.

"This is Gott's letter, which we did not send by telegram for the sake of secrecy, and Colonel Muller thinks that it is necessary for the most reliable person to get it to you as quickly as possible, and we ourselves have asked him to accomplish this task."

"Oh, that's it, how did you get it like this, and what kind of big problem did it go to my front line." After Xu Jun listened to Daogen's words, his hanging heart finally relaxed.

Listening to Xu Jun's question, Dogen glared at Randolph on the side fiercely with his eyes. Thinking of this, he was angry, how could he be such an assistant, he must have done something blasphemous to have this kind of retribution.

Dougan said with a bitter face, "This is because of Captain Randolph's idea. He believes that this kind of urgent shipment must be carried out by the fastest means of transportation. He said the cars weren't fast enough on Belgium's terrible road system, so he and I came on motorcycles. He was in charge of driving, and I sat in the bucket. It's like this all the way down. ”

"Hahahaha, I see, wait until you finish your report and go take a shower and rest, hahaha, there is still a bathtub to enjoy here, you haven't used the bathtub to take a comfortable hot bath for a long time. Have you eaten? The food here is good, too, you can have a good meal after taking a shower, Hans, you can arrange a room for them later, and then have the kitchen prepare some delicious food to be delivered to their room. Xu Jun was amused by Dogen's answer, they actually drove a motorcycle from Dunkel, no wonder they were so embarrassed.

"Thank you very much, Deputy Führer, and I will first report to you the final results of our campaign." Dougan hurriedly replied, because he saw Randolph's mouth move, and he was now afraid that his subordinate would say something big or delicious again, so he hurriedly choked the guy's words back into his stomach before Randolph could speak.

"Okay, let's get started, I'd love to know what we're getting."

"Many, my Deputy Führer, the results of the British Army have not yet been counted, because they have not yet surrendered, so they do not know their casualties. But in any case, we have completely annihilated the British Expeditionary Force. The result for the British Navy was the sinking of six battleships, which were HMS Rodney, HMS Rammer, HMS Sovereign, HMS Warweary, HMS Barham and HMS Revenge. The three battlecruisers sunk were HMS Hood, HMS Prestige, HMS Counterattack. Sink three heavy cruisers, HMS Dorsetshire, HMS Norfolk and HMS Exeter. Capture three battleships of the opposing side, the flagships of their home fleet, the Nelson and the Malaya, the Resolve. Details are included in the report. The Air Force shot down a total of 272 enemy aircraft. In terms of losses, the Army has so far lost 2,840 soldiers, 47 officers, 8,294 wounded, 63 fighters and 37 dive bombers have been shot down by the Air Force, and 89 pilots have been killed or missing. By all accounts, you have created a miracle, a great victory that has never been seen in the history of Germany. We take great pride in being your direct report. After speaking, Daogen handed the documents to Xu Jun.

Xu Jun flipped through the documents casually and put them aside, and said to Dogen: "I'll look at it in detail later, you gave me the letter that Goth gave me, I want to know what conditions this expeditionary commander wants me to promise him." ”

Daogen hurriedly handed the letter to Xu Jun. Xu Jun tore open the seal of the letter, picked up the letter, and read it carefully.

After reading the letter, Xu Jun leaned back on the sofa and tilted his head to close his eyes and pondered for a while, and then laughed happily.

He turned to the two SS officers and said, "Go and rest now, and enjoy this rare rest." Because after dinner we had to go to Dunkerke overnight. I will personally go and give this General Goth a satisfactory answer. ”
