.“ I have long said that the closer you get to the Japanese archipelago, the stronger the resistance of the Japanese will be, there is no doubt about it! We should be mentally prepared for everything, including the huge casualties of the front-line troops! ”

Holding the casualty report that had just come from the Okinawa front command, Tatsuten said to General Rundstead, whose face was obviously not very good, which seemed like a comfort, but it was more of a reminder.

Hearing this, Rundstead, who had been a little muttering in his heart, was not relieved, but said in a heavy tone:

"Although the battle is far from over, it is foreseeable that this will be the most difficult battle of our army! Okinawa, how much more blood of Germanic soldiers will be consumed on this tiny island? ”

On the first day of the Battle of Okinawa alone, more than 3,000 Marines were seriously wounded or killed, and it is difficult to count those who were not in the line of fire with minor injuries.

Had it not been for Japan's rapid rise, predictable and terrifying ambitions, and support for anti-German forces such as Russia, the German government would have preferred to crush the nation politically and economically rather than militarily.

This question seemed to make Rundstead think about it for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Busan is also very close to the Japanese archipelago, but we did not encounter such stubborn resistance there, otherwise it would have been impossible for a mixed marine brigade to capture Busan! If you look at Okinawa now, we have to commit three elite Marine divisions plus two army infantry divisions, and there is a good chance that we will have to put in more reserve troops! ”

"General, this has a lot to do with the geography and history of Okinawa! Although Busan is only separated from the Japanese mainland by a sea, it belongs to two completely different ethnic groups culturally, and it has only been 19 years since Japan formally annexed Korea, and it has only been more than 30 years since the actual occupation of Busan, and it will take at least two generations for the Japanese government to completely assimilate these colonists culturally! Today, North Koreans have not forgotten that they are Koreans, and their resistance continues. The Japanese not only could not enjoy the convenience of fighting on their own soil, but had to be careful of these local residents at all times, but we obtained a lot of valuable information through those Korean guerrillas! ”

After pausing to take a sip of water, Tatsuten continued: "The situation in Okinawa is very different, although it was officially incorporated into the Japanese territory in 1879, the Japanese actually controlled the islands as early as the beginning of the 17th century, and the inhabitants here also regarded themselves as Japanese nationals and fought here. The Japanese army enjoys the treatment of the real home field! ”

Rundstead nodded thoughtfully, letting a German understand the history and culture of Japan and its surrounding regions is tantamount to letting a Chinese understand Norse mythology, and its difficulty cannot be solved in a short time.

"General, if the battlefield situation warrants, boldly transfer our reserves, as for the Mexican army, the Turkish army, and even the American ** team that volunteered to participate in the war, I think we can also consider sending them to Okinawa, so that they can see what the real bloody battlefield is!

Also, our 'Green Magic' program has to pick up the pace even further." I don't want to see the day when our marines have to make a landing on the Japanese archipelago! ”

"Yes. Your Majesty! Rundstead nodded with difficulty, in the eyes of outsiders, he was a traditional and very upright moral official. Indeed, he advocated conventional means of forcing Japan into submission, rather than the terrible "green demons" – cheap but powerful chemical weapons, because they would put to death all living beings in the target area, regardless of military or civilian or old or weak, which in his opinion was inhumane and inconsistent with the Germanic tradition of upright combat.

Whenever "green magic" is mentioned, Chen Tian can see this expression on Rundsteadt's face, which may be a manifestation of a stereotypical attitude, but Chen Tian is not displeased by this. Opposite. He was very happy to see the integrity and righteous spirit of these middle and senior generals of the German army, but the enemy that Germany is now facing does not allow them to continue to maintain the conventional mode of warfare, Germany cannot withstand long-term attrition, and over time, the people's enthusiasm for war will also be weakened by the continuous consumption of various resources, until one day they are determined to rise up against the war! That is very dangerous for the German government and for Chen Tian himself!

Chen Tian didn't say anything more, but asked the heavy-hearted general to go back first. After the departure of Rundsteadt, another admiral, a general in the navy, to be exact. Came to Chentian with a special report from the front line.

"He's hurt, and he's hurt a lot!"

The general opened his mouth and cut straight to the point.

"Oh?" Chen Tian shouldn't have been surprised, because it was a battlefield, and bloodshed and sacrifice were a common thing, but he still had a look of surprise at this time, as if he heard that Rommel or Dönitz were injured.

In fact, it was one of the few historical figures he knew but did not exert any influence, and now Guderian, Richthofen and Manstein have received extra, special care, as if they had applied fertilizer to their crops, but fortunately this process of "pulling out seedlings and helping them grow" has so far not been "malnourished" or "prematurely killed".

"Half an hour ago, he had already undergone surgery in a field hospital near the beach, and he should soon be sent to a hospital ship on the surface! Because the injuries are in the arms and thighs, it is impossible to recover without a month of return under normal circumstances, and if the recovery is not very good, it is even possible to quit the Marine Corps! ”

The general continued.

Chen Tian looked at the table clock opposite, and then said, "Tell me in detail about his injury!" ”

When Herman Goerin was killed, Chen Tian only had a general understanding of his battle history, and then gave instructions to posthumously pay him medals and give generous pensions to his family, and the importance of the two was self-evident.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The battle took place about 4 kilometers from the beach where the troops had first landed, a hill at an altitude of nearly 100 meters and stretching for more than 10 kilometers, and an important position for the Japanese to defend their beachheads. He was ordered to attack one of the Japanese positions with concrete fortifications, which we later learned was the front-line headquarters of the Japanese defenders in this area. A battalion of marines had already attacked there before him, but after losing more than half of his troops, he had adopted the tactic of attracting enemy fire on both flanks and attacking the ground on one flank, and the battle began with remarkable results. The main attacking force soon captured the Japanese bunkers with flamethrowers and explosive shells, and they found that these bunkers had passages to the underground, so he personally led his troops to enter the Japanese underground fortifications through these passages, and soon discovered the Japanese front command and the Japanese commander, but the remnants of the Japanese army did not lay down their arms, but used grenades in the underground fortifications with limited space, and he was wounded in this situation! ”

After hearing this, Chen Tian was silent for several seconds.

"Hmm. So he led his troops to take out the Japanese front-line headquarters, and he was injured because he took the lead? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"And his tactics seem to be smart and effective, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

That famous Austrian corporal had become a qualified field commander and not an arrogant politician or dictator, and that was the effect that Germany had not suffered in the First World War?

Chen Tian thought so in his heart, although this buried his so-called political talent, it was not necessarily a bad thing for Germany!

While Chen Tian was silently thinking, the general stood silently in front of him, waiting for the ruler to make a decision. Although he did not understand why this high-ranking man was so interested in such a man of ordinary origin and unassuming appearance.

Half a day. Chen Tiancai spoke:

"I want to meet him! General, arrange it for me! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! If you wish. We'll be able to bring him here tomorrow!" ”

There was not the slightest change in expression on the general's face.

"Oh no, no, not so fast! Let's wait until he heals from his wounds! Tatsuten thought for a moment, "Where will the hospital ship sent to Okinawa go after it is full of wounded?" ”

"If you are nearby, you will go to the Philippines, but you can also come to Qingdao, the flight will not be too far apart, and the medical facilities in Qingdao will be better! Your Majesty! ”

The general had clearly understood the implications of Chentian's question.

So, Chen Tian used his power to make a small decision: "Okay, let that medical ship come to Qingdao!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! I'll let you know when he arrives! ”

After the general left the room, Chen Tian leaned back in his chair. Although he was very concerned about Adolf Hitler, and although the materials sent by the Ministry of Intelligence contained photos of him from all angles, Chen Tian had never spoken to him face-to-face before, which meant that this would be his first meeting with this historical celebrity.

In terms of Chen Tian's identity at this time, it should be more appropriate to use the word "reception".

Meanwhile, in the German field hospital on the beach southeast of Okinawa, Adolf had recovered from anesthetic anesthesia, and the sharp pain in his arms and legs made him both depressed and happy, and he was depressed that he had been injured by several Japanese dwarves. Rejoicing that the pain showed that his hands and feet were at least still there, you must know that when the grenade of the Japanese exploded a few steps away, he really thought that he was about to go to God, although he was in pain now, but at least he was still alive and sound.

"Doctor ......"

It was only after the words were uttered that Adolf realized how weak he was, and even his voice was weak. But fortunately, there was a nurse next to her, and when she heard the patient's call, she quickly came over and leaned down.

"Does it hurt? Don't worry, come on, this is a painkiller for you! ”

Adolf wanted to say that his pain was nothing, but the real pain made him grit his teeth again, and after taking the painkiller for a while, he was able to continue talking:

"Miss Nurse, how are my injuries? Will I be left with a permanent disability? ”

"Don't worry!" Miss Nurse smiled and said, "You only have abrasions on your forehead, neck and chest, and the shrapnel on your arms and thighs has been removed, so you can recover after a good rest!" ”

"Oh......" Adolf finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately remembered something more important, "Miss, I want to know how my troops are doing, whether they have caught the Japanese officers in there, and how many of them have been wounded along with me?" ”

Miss Nurse smiled and shook her head, "I don't know! ”

Adolf struggled to look around, and there were wounds on the beds all around, but he didn't find a familiar face, and even if he had, he might have been entangled in the thick gauze.

At this moment, several wounded soldiers not far away suddenly shouted, and a middle-aged man who looked like a doctor immediately went over to reassure them, after which he loudly announced to everyone here:

"Don't worry, you will soon be sent to the hospital ship in the rear, and then you will return to the best hospital in Luzon for treatment, believe me, each and every one of you will recover quickly!"

These words really calmed the hearts of most of the wounded, but Adolf was an exception, and the pain all over his body made him feel that his injuries would take some time to recover, Luzon? The rear hospital there should be good, and the scenery is indeed good, but what about your own war trip?

"It's over, the war is over for me!"

Adolf muttered to himself, and an inexplicable sadness swelled up in his chest.

He has always believed that he has extraordinary military talents, and his original intention of joining the Marine Corps is to prove it, and his efforts over the years have been proven in previous battles, and he was knocked down by merciless pain when he saw that the day of his head was approaching!

Japan is not at the end of the day, but in a few months? Although Adolf was not 100% sure, he felt that the war would most likely not wait until he recovered from his injuries, so what next? Returning home with medals for war wounds and so-called heroic titles, they had to face the brutal elimination of the downsizing of the army, returning to reserve and even civilian status......

Thinking of this, Adolf closed his eyes in pain.
