Berlin Westtown Railway Station.

Chen Tian silently looked at the two young officers in front of him wearing the uniform of a black tank captain, when the soldiers of the main force of the East Prussian Legion were boarding the car one after another, they had to leave the legion first and go to their respective destinations.

From here, Rommel's tank battalion plus an armored battalion was to be sent to Turkey, where they would join the German-Turkish forces under Oli's command. Perhaps, Africa will once again be the place where the desert fox will become famous, only this time he will enter Africa from Egypt in reverse.

Manstein's tank battalion and another armored battalion were to go to Austria, where they would support the Austro-Hungarian forces in their fight against Serbian forces and perhaps face the Italian army that was on the move.

Let Britain, France and Italy taste the power of the German military gods in advance!

"Two, take care!" Chen Tian suddenly felt a little inexplicably sad, seeing these two strongmen for just a week, but they were about to be separated from them again. He carefully studied the faces of Rommel and Manstein, and it was only after the tempering of the battle that these two young faces could truly grow.

I wish you all the best to grow into a military god, and if the heavens dare to abandon you, I will poke a hole in the sky!

Chen Tian said silently in his heart that Huang Yida's death made him feel the fragility of life again. That delicate face, as well as that rough character, has gradually faded away in Chen Tian's heart. Whoever hurts even a single hair of these two people will raze that country.

But geniuses need to be honed, and they can't grow under their own protection!

"Your Royal Highness, take care of yourself! We will fight for the honor of the Empire, and we will fight for the honor of the Legion! We are born as the people of the East Prussian Legion, and death is the soul of the East Prussian Legion, and we are forever grateful for your kindness! Rommel also seemed to feel the sadness of the parting, as well as Chentian's pity for the two of them. But after all, war is brutal and anything can happen.

Manstein looked much more optimistic, "Your Highness, don't worry too much, after all, how can the protection of our empire's best quality equipment be easily handed over to the battlefield!" We will make our opponents tremble under the prestige of the East Prussian Legion! ”

"Well, don't be afraid of this, for the heavens will only favor the prepared and the bravest. We are soldiers of the German Empire, and we would rather die standing than live on our knees! Make the most of your abilities, I've picked the best battlefield for you! Chen Tian seriously stretched out his right hand and said goodbye to the two with the etiquette of a friend.

When the train whistle sounds, the time of parting has arrived.

"Your Royal Highness, let's go!" The two made up a military salute seriously.

Looking at the figures of the two of them in the distance, Chen Tian suddenly realized that he had returned to the sentimental self he used to be. As the train full of tanks and vehicles slowly left the platform, Chen Tian waved goodbye to the officers and soldiers on the train.

"Your Highness, your special train is ready, the Minister of War is already waiting for you above!" Hoffman reminded him that they had just said goodbye to the others and that they themselves would leave for the French front.

"Well, let's go!" Chen Tian put away the true feelings on his face, and only at this moment can he be a person with feelings.

A few seconds later, the expressionless, determined-looking Chen Tian walked briskly to the train that stopped next to another platform. As a special train for Chentian and Falkenhein, that train looked very strong from the outside, the first half was almost an armored train, and the second half was loaded with a large number of infantry and even a dozen tanks without canvas cover, all of which cut off the idea of Belgian or French partisans moving this train along the way.

Glancing at the vigilant machine gunners on the top of the train, Chen Tian nodded in satisfaction.

The train consisted of only a few carriages in the middle for the officers of the regimental headquarters, one carriage for communications, two carriages for officers' lounges and conference rooms, and two carriages for Chentian and Falkenhein. Each has a dedicated bedroom and office on it, while the dining room and living room are shared. For the two days before arriving at the French front, the two men ate and lived together.

When Chentian sat down in the office, the train slowly moved.

"Your Royal Highness, the various units of the legion have basically been arranged, and all soldiers and equipment will arrive at the outskirts of Paris within 3 days, so you don't have to worry about this!" Seeing that Chen Tian was silent, Hoffman knew what he was worried about.

"No, I'm not worried about that! I don't know why, but I've lost a few friends in quick succession this month. First it was discovered that the Korean princess was a Japanese spy, and then a Chinese friend of mine died in the Battle of Qingdao. Now, our Russian friend, Mr. Lenin, is also in danger! I know that war is cruel, but why are all these unfortunate things concentrated in this time? Chen Tian said with a wry smile.

"I'm very sorry about that! As we have received intelligence, Moscow is completely surrounded by Aglini's army, and Lenin, the leader of the Russian Revolutionary Party, has vowed to live and die with Moscow. Unless a miracle happens, it is only a matter of time before Aglini takes Moscow! As for Lenin, I'm afraid he ...... "Hoffman doesn't seem to quite understand that these people have such a high status in Chentian's mind, after all, the aristocracy is known for their ruthlessness.

Chentian also has his own things that he doesn't understand, Stalin refused to evacuate Stalingrad during World War II, and now history has changed, and the one who stayed in the capital and waited for death became Lenin.

"I really don't understand how these Russian revolutionaries want to live and die with their capital at every turn?"

"I don't know that! Didn't their old tsar escape quite quickly? ”

The two people did not know that Lenin was not unwilling to flee Moscow, first, he was hesitant because of his lack of experience in big battles, and second, the Russian cavalry came too quickly, Lenin ran into Aglini's cavalry as soon as he left the city, and had to retreat into Moscow helplessly, so he issued a declaration to defend the fruits of the revolution and defend Moscow.

"History is always made up of these inevitable events with contingencies, and perhaps the fate of Russia is so much!"

Looking at the receding scenery outside the window, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh. Although he is not yet known as the melancholy prince like Moltke, the loss of familiar people is still inevitable, but fortunately, the scenery along the way soothed his mood a lot.

Berlin is located in the eastern part of Germany, so they need to pass through most of Germany before entering Belgium. The road was full of autumn hustle and bustle, and the lives of the common people did not seem to be much different from usual, and perhaps only the pace of the people in the streets was unconsciously accelerated by the war. There are not many soldiers along the road, and the policemen who patrol also look very leisurely, and most of the roads are old people, children and women, and young men are relatively rare. Now, most of Germany's young men have joined the army or worked overtime to produce, and the war machine is in full swing. Thankfully, the war did not reach the German mainland, and perhaps the enemy never had the chance.

When night fell, the towns and villages along the route were lit up, and the German civilians had no concept of light control at this time. In this tranquil atmosphere, Tatsuten came to the restaurant to have dinner with Falkenhein.

"Your Royal Highness, it seems that you have been very busy all day today!" Seeing Chentian's arrival, Falkenhayne couldn't wait to put away the napkin, it seemed that he was already hungry.

"It's okay, it's just some trivial things! Now that you are both Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff, you must be busy at work! Chen Tian was embarrassed to say that he had been looking at the scenery all the time, because Hoffman kept everything in order, and it was still very comfortable to be a shopkeeper in these little things.

"In fact, the Secretary of War has nothing to do now, because our country is already functioning according to the wartime mechanism. Military production, reserve recruitment, recruit training, troop transfers, these things basically only need to be reported to our War Department, and all we have to do is to review the report and sign it. ”

It seemed that Falkenhayne was too tired to sign, and when the steak came up, he looked eager to try.

In order to cooperate with the hungry Minister of War, Chen Tian raised his knife and fork and touched the steak, but today he didn't have much appetite, he had already decided to drink some soup.

"It seems that this wartime mechanism has really worked, and the lives of ordinary people along the way seem to have not been affected by the war. As a soldier, don't you expect your countrymen to be happy and safe? ”

Falkenhayn replied while busy dealing with the steak: "That's true, but when you get to the front, I'm afraid it's a different scene!" ”

"The cruel nature of war will not change! By the way, Your Excellency the Minister of War, what do you think about the situation in Russia? Although the goal of making the Russian **** has been achieved, Chen Tian found that the situation there is becoming more and more unpredictable, and the civil war between the revolutionary army and the Tsarist Russian army, which was originally expected to last for a long time, now seems to be one-sided.

"The victory of the tsar's army seemed inevitable!" Although Falkenhain eats quickly, his movements and eating appearance are still quite elegant, and even more importantly, he can answer questions without hurrying.

"I thought so too! But in the interests of Germany, I would rather their civil war last as long as possible! ”

Falkenhayin didn't seem to see it that way, "Not necessarily, it is said that the new tsar intends to secede from the Entente and join our allies!" ”

Chen Tian is not surprised, the formation of a new government can naturally abandon all previous positions, perhaps only a stupid head of state like Italy would be cannon fodder for Britain and France for completely unrealistic interests.

"Now it seems that this is a very wise choice for Russia."

"But surprisingly, Japan also wants to join the Allies! A few days ago, they were still fighting with us, and all of a sudden they wanted to stand on the same front with us, these Japanese are really not ordinary shameless! This kind of country that betrays its allies for no reason, I personally strongly despise! "As the Minister of War, Falkenhein seems to be very well-informed, and Chen Tian likes this guy more and more.

"That's what that country is! When you see a bargain, you will choose, and when you see a profit, you will go up! "There is nothing more to say about Japan, and it would be a waste of my saliva to belittle them now.

"What I am most worried about now is Britain, according to His Majesty's plan, when the French battlefield is about to end, our army will land on the British Isles with the cooperation of the navy. According to the Admiralty's report, we were able to transport only 200,000 soldiers ashore in the first wave of the attack, and this group of soldiers would have to hold out on the British coast alone for at least a day! Now with the addition of Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and Indian colonial troops, no less than 1.2 million troops have been gathered in Britain itself, and Britain is such a small place, and there are only a few ports that can land, and the British are still very advantageous to defend! Falkenhayne was a little depressed, and after saying that, he buried himself in dealing with the steak again.

Chen Tian suddenly became happy, 200,000 people are not just tailor-made for their own legions! However, judging from this number, Germany's shipping capacity is still very strong. If Xiaoxi had such a powerful navy back then, he would have killed the British Isles at once.

You don't have to worry about that! We still have a strong navy and aviation to back us up, and when France is killed, the British will not be able to survive for a few days! ”

Chen Tian watched with great interest as Falkenhein ate a large pile of food, it seemed that he still had a lot of work to do at night, this guy was as industrious as the legend said.

"Good night, Your Royal Highness!"

"Good night, my dear Secretary of War!"

After returning to his carriage, Chen Tian listened to some of Hoffman's reports, most of which were about the intelligence of various places and the movements of the regiment and various units.

"We will enter Belgium around 1 o'clock in the morning, I heard that Belgium is not very stable now, there may be gunshots at night, I hope it will not disturb your sleep!" Before leaving, Hoffman added.

"Okay, I'll be ready! The Belgians are tenacious after all, and it is not surprising that they will continue to resist after the occupation! I just hope they don't keep hitting their heads on rocks. ”

Chen Tian thought he would have insomnia, but he didn't expect to sleep soundly all night. Perhaps due to the heightened security along the railway line, he did not hear any gunshots throughout the night. When he woke up the next morning, the train had already entered France.

Here he finally saw the traces of the war. French villages and towns were in ruins, especially those where the Anglo-French forces had resisted, and were reduced to rubble by artillery fire. Broken walls can be seen everywhere, and all French civilians look depressed, and their eyes are more helpless than angry.

As the train got closer and closer to the front line, Chentian's mood began to heavily. However, this heaviness did not come from the destroyed buildings of the French, but from the truckloads of wounded soldiers.

Wounded German soldiers!

Chen Tian could hardly believe his eyes, the train cars passing by were filled with soldiers wrapped in gauze, the blood stains on their gray military uniforms were so shocking, and there were a large number of wounded soldiers lying on stretchers or carriages near some platforms, all of which seemed to have been withdrawn from the front line not long ago.

Even after the Battle of Kimon, Chentian's wounded soldiers were only loaded with 4 trains, but what he saw here were more than 40 trains. Chen Tian finally understood why the Kaiser dismissed Moltke Jr., where is this offensive failure, it is simply an offensive fiasco!

"Stupid little Moltke, we have been reported 100,000 casualties, but it seems to me that it is much more than that!" Falkenhein on the side said with a heavy heart.

"I hate the incompetent little Moltke!" Chen Tian said coldly.
