Friday, December 6, 1929, was an ordinary weekend for most of the world, and it was on this day, just after the sun was rising, that the first German battle flag flew on the vantage point of the port of Busan.

This was not the first time that they had worked together on the battlefield after a night of fierce fighting, which had exhausted thousands of German and Mexican officers and men, and the three and a half months of joint training between the officers and men of the two armies had done so was generally quite satisfactory. As for the Japanese and North Korean troops responsible for defending Busan, they had neither the confidence nor the ability to confront the German-Mexican forces, and the defeat was completely reasonable, but many Japanese soldiers refused to accept this reality, and even when they ran out of ammunition and food, they had to prove their so-called bushido spirit in the most brutal way.

Behind the undoubted battle, more than 1,100 German soldiers and more than 700 Mexican soldiers sacrificed their precious lives, while 3,200 of the 4,200 Japanese and North Korean defenders were killed and nearly 1,000 captured, most of whom were Korean Japanese soldiers.

The next day, Qingdao Port.

"Although this is only a medium-sized landing operation, we should see something hidden under the victory! First of all, I was surprised to see that our commander had scheduled the start of the landing operation two hours after dark, which was extremely unusual, and even unprecedented! But, von ., General Manstein, this time you did a very good job! ”

Chen Tian's first depression and then promotion may have stimulated the hearts of some people present, especially such an important meeting attended by most of the senior generals of the land, sea and air forces in the German Far East, and the first object of his remarks, Fritz Erich von, chief of staff of the German Far East Cluster Command. Manstein's face was also a little nervous for a while, and it wasn't until Chen Tian called out his name loudly that he stood up from his position with relief.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! But this is not the credit of the next person, this battle plan embodies the wisdom and sweat of many colleagues in the command, and it is inseparable from the full support of General Rundstead! ”

Chen Tian waved his hand in satisfaction and motioned for Manstein to sit down.

"Here, I just want to tell you. It is impossible for a good commander or even a country's army to win a battle with immutable tactics! General Manstein's tactics were not a gamble, but a very creative innovation! We should maintain our inherent cautiousness, but we should also encourage this kind of active innovation! ”

"In addition, the reason why we have been able to achieve final victories in all previous combat operations against Japan is inseparable from the serious, tenacious, and humble German spirit of all of you here! Although there was no shortage of outstanding generals in the Japanese army, their army and navy were like fire and water, and the coordination and cooperation between different units was far inferior to that of our army.

Therefore, our victory is not only a victory in terms of technology, resources, and combat effectiveness. It is also a victory for the concerted efforts of the three armed forces and the unity of officers and soldiers! Although the Battle of Busan has only just begun, I have reason to believe that this will be another beautiful joint operation of the three services! Perhaps, it is classic enough to be written in military textbooks! ”

As Manstein introduced at the beginning of the meeting, this was a joint landing operation involving all existing German arms and Allied forces, starting with air units from the air force and navy, which not only carried out destructive bombing of the target area, but also parachuted down the army sniper squad and demolition detachment after nightfall, and the navy sent submarine transport frogman detachments to the shore. And amphibious combat vehicles and amphibious tanks will come out in the first wave of the offensive.

Finally. Chen Tian praised loudly: "I am proud of you! ”

The first to speak on behalf of the generals present was Franz, who has always been known for his straightforward personality, straightforwardness and ruthlessness. Hipper, the admiral in his sixties, had apparently been unable to hold back the excitement in his heart:

"Nope. It should be said that His Majesty's teaching and trust in us have made this situation possible today! Many of your colleagues have served in the army for more than 30 years, which means that His Majesty Wilhelm II was serving in all ranks of the army at that time, and I was the same as I, and I had the honor of being the commander of the reconnaissance detachment of the High Seas Fleet of the Imperial Navy, but I can say responsibly that we were bent on serving our country and serving the Emperor, and we were in awe of our colleagues in the Army, but because of the plans of His Majesty Wilhelm II and the Count of Tirpitz's Great Navy, we took a lot of the budget from the Army. So much so that it was accused by some army generals of seriously delaying the development of the army. More than once I heard from the army generals that our plan to compete with the British Navy seemed ambitious, but in essence it was unrealistic and delusional! So there was a time when I hated the Army, the short-sighted guys, and I thought that if one day I were going to cooperate with the Army in military operations, then I would definitely give them a taste of leaving the Navy to support them, even if I was punished by my superiors! "Actually, it wasn't just the army, but Berlin, the palace, and the people didn't trust us either.

Our main ships were considered first-class and good enough to stand up to the British, but no one thought we could match the British sailors who had been roaming the world for hundreds of years. I'm sure many people know, Count Tirpitz. This brilliant leader who single-handedly brought the Imperial Navy from the third rate of the world to the first rank, at the beginning of the war, hoped to compete with the British at sea as a way to demonstrate the value of the German Navy, but was denied by His Majesty Wilhelm II! At that time, the ratio of our capital ships to the British fleet was 13 to 20, and it turned out that with the right tactics and the opportunity to try, it was entirely possible for us to defeat any enemy! ”

Although it was a rehash, and although a full 15 years had passed since the turmoil, the admirals present were impressed, and when Wilhelm II ordered the main fleet to stay in a safe harbor, many felt sorry for Tirpitz and the German Navy, but fortunately, an unexpected sea raid directed by Prince Heinrich of Prussia saved the fate of Tirpitz and the entire German Navy. In fact, it would only be a few months before Tirpitz, the Minister of the Admiralty, would be overshadowed by Wilhelm II's cronies, and the direct command of the Navy would be in the hands of the Emperor, who was completely ignorant of naval affairs and regarded warships as his private collection, and it was not until after Wilhelm II's death that this little-known history was revealed.

"When I think back to the joy of our sweep of the British Isles, the resoluteness and resoluteness with which we blitzed Austria-Hungary, and the fact that we later supported Mexico, intervened in the situation in South America, and finally fought with the United States, and recalled the defeat of Russia and the declaration of war on Japan last year, I think that only Your Majesty has such great courage and determination in the whole world!"

Speaking of this, Hipper almost couldn't hold back his tears, if Hippert was destined to play only a tragic hero who was well-known in Germany in the dream of Wilhelm II's great navy, then in Chentian's world strategy, Hipper's achievements were what any German soldier dreamed of - victory, continuous victory!

When Hipper's leaky words were over, Chen Tian noticed that everyone present had their chests held high and their eyes flashed with something extremely precious.

"I think the praise of His Excellency the Marshal is a request for me, but it is a pity that my courage and wit are not as good as the marshal, the battlefield command is not as good as that of Marshal Ollie and most of the people present, and I don't know how to build a gun, a gun, or even a tank, a warship, or an airplane, and my so-called courage and determination are completely based on you and the great Germanic people, without your loyalty and bravery, without the strong economic and military strength of the country, all ambitions can only stay in the stage of imagination!"

Chen Tian raised the document in his hand, "For example, our A17 plan this time is a scientific and technological project that embodies the wisdom of the nation and the strength of the country!" Some of you have already seen the power of this weapon at our secret testing ground, but many more have only heard of it occasionally! So let me tell you now that the so-called A17 is a super bomb that can fly 300 kilometers away with 1 ton of bomb without a barrel, to be exact, a flying bomb! ”

As soon as Chen Tian's voice fell, there was really an uproar in the conference room, people believed that their Emperor Majesty would not lie, but such a weapon was beyond their imagination, so everyone seemed surprised and expectant.

"In fact, we started working on this technology 10 years ago, and we invested more than 10 million dollars before and after, and now our A17 has passed all the design tests, they don't need to be very complicated launch sites, and they can even be ready for launch in the carriage of a train; There is also no need for our pilots to risk piloting into the airspace of enemy countries, just aim their ballistics at the target, press the launch button, and soon our enemies will tremble in the sudden explosion! ”

There was silence in the room, and it took a moment for the silence caused by surprise to be broken by a general from the Air Force.

"Your Majesty, we already know from your description that this weapon has an extraordinary way of fighting and a terrible purpose, so I would like to know if with this weapon our air force will become insignificant or even redundant?"

In an instant, his eyes focused on the quick-thinking Air Force Major General.

"No, of course not!" As a latecomer, Chen Tian certainly knew how ridiculous this kind of talk would be, so he stood up from his position and spread his hands, "Believe me, it won't be long before everyone knows that this weapon will be a useful supplement to the army, navy and air force, not a substitute, by no means!"
