When Chentian's motorcade drove into the castle, the sky was getting darker, and the castle was already lit up. In this era when electric lights are scarce and expensive, even Chentian's castle still has many places lit with candles, but the crystal chandelier in the hall has been replaced with high-power electric lights. The dinner was held in the castle's hall, and the back garden was set up as a place for people to take a walk after dinner, enjoy dessert and wine, and the young officers could also take the opportunity to spend time with their favorite people.

When Chen Tian got out of the car, he felt very uncomfortable, and Lisa and Mrs. Thomas were shocked when they looked at him and Thomas's sad looks.

"Your Highness, General Thomas, what's the matter with you?" Lisa walked over to Chentian and asked softly.

Chen Tian looked up at Thomas, and Thomas also looked at Chen Tian, both of them found that the other party had a bitter melon face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Okay, Thomas, let's think about this after the dinner is over, don't sweep everyone's Yaxing!" After Chen Tian finished speaking, he looked around, the dinner party only started at six o'clock, and the guests who had already come here at this time.

"Yes! Thinking about the problem, dancing will step on other people's feet, Mrs. Prince, can you enjoy your face and dance for a while? Thomas now returned to his old tone.

"Gladly!" Lisa replied with a smile.

Chen Tian found out that Lisa was wearing a lilac floor-length dress tonight, like a beautiful and noble violet, with blonde hair tied back her head, light and delicate eyebrows with just the right curvature, her small eyes laughing like a crescent moon, and her small nose was still as lovely as when they first met.

There was an even more cute little blue water lily next to Lisa, and Sasha was blinking at her.

Chen Tian felt an inexplicable sense of warmth in his heart, and immediately put all his troubles behind, he leaned down and hugged the little princess, "My little Sasha, do you miss your father?" ”

As soon as the little princess came up, she studied Chen Tianguang's slippery chin with her hand, "Beard? ”

"Haha, my little princess, didn't you say stabbing people last time? I just scraped it off this morning! Chen Tian turned to Mrs. Thomas with little Sasha in his arms, "Oh, beautiful lady, you are really getting more and more beautiful!" What about your young ladies? ”

"Your Royal Highness, they are watching your youngest son sleep!" Mrs. Thomas replied with a smile.

"Oh! Andreth, he likes to sleep! Chen Tian felt that when he was more than a year old, he was always energetic and crawling, but Andrés was not like himself at all, he seemed to have decided to sleep early in the future, so that he could spend more time on useful things in the future.

Lisa smiled at the frolicking appearance of the father and daughter, she felt that Chentian's return this time had changed a lot compared to before, especially the once calm and confident face added a lot of vicissitudes, when he and the generals discussed problems together, that face would be as cold as steel, and there was a cold gaze in his eyes from time to time, perhaps this was the result of experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, and the whole person became more resolute. However, as soon as he returns to his family, Chen Tian will become as amiable as before.

"No, the ladies of General Thomas's house had been playing with him all afternoon, and had fallen asleep half an hour ago! Come on, Sasha, stop pestering your dad and go play with the little sisters! ”

Chen Tian gently kissed the little princess on the forehead, and then put her down, and a maid next to her came over and led her to Thomas's daughters.

"Oh, here we are!" Lisa looked out and saw several cars driving into the outer gates of the castle.

"Your Highness, guess who's in the first car!"

Chen Tian turned his head to look at Thomas, he still had that cold expression on his face, but a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Chen Tian was too familiar with this person, and his slight expression was telling himself: Good thing, this is a very good thing!

"It can't be Ollie!" Chen Tian had just been dizzy by the spy's affairs, and there weren't too many brain cells to continue guessing about something else.

"Of course not, didn't you ask me to help you find some people?" Thomas turned to look at Chentian.

"The people I asked you to find, Dönitz, Manfred. Richthofen, Rommel, Manstein, but so far you've only helped me find the first two! Are you saying you found one of the next two? Speaking of this, Chen Tian suddenly became excited, and he also understood that it was not easy to find two people among the millions of German troops with only an incomplete name. The whole World War I has changed dramatically due to his arrival, and it is very likely that these talented people will not be able to get the right development opportunities and be unfortunate in a certain battle, which Chen Tian does not want to see, but Chen Tian does not remember the birth background of these people and the troops they originally served.

Back then, the search for Dönitz was thanks to the great assistance of Tirpitz and the Admiralty, and Manfred was quickly found due to his status as a baron, but the latter two were never found. In Chen Tian's mind, the first two sea and air heroes are important, and the last two army geniuses are what he dreams of the most.

"Yes, what I was going to tell you in the afternoon was not caused by the Japanese spy! Found it, both of them found it! Believe it or not, both of them are now serving in your legion, which is why we've been looking for other army units but never found them! Thomas gave a rare smile, "Now you're finally satisfied!" ”

Chen Tian didn't know what to say all of a sudden, he admired Rommel and Manstein for their achievements in World War II, for the performance of the two in World War I, he only knew that Rommel was famous on the Italian battlefield, but now Italy has not joined the war, and the whole situation has changed, even if Italy enters the war, Rommel's unit may not be transferred there.

Thomas took out two pieces of paper as if he were juggling, and then read them without lightness, weight, or hurry:

"Erwin. Rommel was born on November 15, 1891 in Heidenheim, Brunz, the son of a secondary school principal and the daughter of a local government official. Rommel joined the army in July 1910 as part of the local 124th Infantry Regiment in Wooldenburg, and three months later Rommel was promoted to corporal and soon to sergeant. In March 1911, he was admitted to the Danzig Royal Officers' Cadet School, graduating in November. In January 1912, Rommel graduated and returned to the 124th Infantry Regiment stationed in Wicarden to train recruits and attain the rank of lieutenant. In October 1913, he was admitted to the Königsberg Panzer Academy, graduated first in the academy on October 10, 1914, and is currently serving as a captain battalion commander in the 2nd Tank Division of the Panzer Corps of the newly formed East Prussian Corps. ”

Fritz•Erich•von•Manstein, born on November 24, 1887 in Berlin in the Lewinsky family. His biological father, Edward•von•General Lewinsky, served as a commander in the army, and Fritz changed his surname to Manstein because he succeeded his uncle, Lieutenant General Manstein. Manstein received his general education as a child in Strasbourg and later entered the military academy for training. In 1906 he served in the 3rd Prussian Guards Infantry Regiment and the following year he received the rank of second lieutenant. In October 1913, he was admitted to the Königsberg Armored Academy, graduated second in the academy on October 10, 1914, and is currently serving as a captain battalion commander in the 2nd Tank Division of the Panzer Corps of the newly formed East Prussian Regiment. ”

"The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but she was in the dim light!" Chen Tian softly chanted this ancient Chinese phrase, "It seems that geniuses have smelled the power of armored weapons!" ”

Thomas's short-lived smile had long since been put away, and now he still made his expression as the head of intelligence, "I don't know how you know about these people you've never met, and I don't need to know that much!" But I have to admit that all four of you are very good! Navy Captain Carl. Dönitz, who sank 5 Russian ships in August and 12 British ships in September, with a total tonnage of 70,000 tons, was promoted to the rank of major two days ago and received a Blue Max Medal, and is currently the commander of the second submarine formation in the Atlantic; Rommel and Manstein, with outstanding results in the armored academy, have always occupied the top two of the academy, and are known as the best cadets of the Königsberg armored academy since its creation; Baron Manfred's record, although not very outstanding, is mainly related to the huge superiority of our aviation forces! ”

Chen Tian nodded in satisfaction, and the first car quickly stopped not far in front of them, and two young captains wearing black tank uniforms got out of it.

23-year-old Rommel, 27-year-old Manstein, Chen Tian's heart suddenly surged with a surging sense of pride and satisfaction, this feeling is stronger than the review of the "Black Storm Army" and the reception of Dönitz, Manfred, these two positions in history are irreplaceable, Chen Tian only has four words in his mind: "German God of War!" ”

The young Rommel and Manstein look very different from the photo, there is no wrinkle on their faces, their hair is neatly combed and shiny, the new tank unit officer uniforms on their bodies look very well-fitting, the black color is cold and mysterious, the straight lines of the military uniform match the handsome and strong bodies of the two, plus the black military hat with a short brim, everything looks so pleasing to the eye.

The two of them walked quickly in front of Chentian, and even their steps looked so vigorous.

"Your Royal Highness, Captain Manstein (Rommel), Captain of the 205 (7) Tank Battalion of the 2nd Tank Division of the Panzer Army, salutes you!"

"Excellent! Very good! Both of you are elite graduates of the Armored Academy, and in a few days we will be on our way to the front lines in France, and I look forward to seeing you in good hands! Chen Tian looked straight at the two pieces of jade in front of him, after being carved and polished by the war, they would definitely be able to shine dazzlingly. Maybe there will be one less hero in the Italian battlefield who takes more prisoners, and maybe there will be one less staff officer on the Eastern Front who can give advice, but Chentian can already see the indomitable future of the German steel torrent.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Both of them were a little flattered by the prince's appreciation and anticipation.

"Play well! I hope these steel chariots will be as powerful as possible in your hands! Chen Tian wanted to say something, but the number of guests behind him had gradually increased.

"Don't be inhibited, the banquet today is attended by the generals you will be working with, have a good chat with them, I think they will be happy to meet you! Let's talk about it again when we have time! Despite Chentian's words, the two of them still looked a little restrained, but Chentian believed that they would soon be able to integrate into this legion that valued ability over communication.

"Your Royal Highness, Madame Prince!" Hoffmann appeared in front of Chentian in a new brigadier uniform, and after returning to East Prussia, the outstanding generals were promoted and rewarded within the legion, but most of them still had empty uniforms, and everyone was actively looking forward to the award in Berlin in a few days.

"Oh, General Hoffman, Mrs. Hoffman, thank you very much for being here! General, we're going to have a good talk in a moment, I'm afraid we've got into a little trouble that troubles Thomas and me! Chen Tian said helplessly, and Hoffman was surprised by this.

"Oh? I am amazed that there are any problems that would bother our Royal Highness! ”

"We'll talk later, let's take your lady in and greet everyone first!"

As soon as the Hoffmans left, they saw Matthew and his beautiful wife step out of another car. Matthew is also wearing a brand-new major general's uniform, and the whole person looks very energetic, with a first-class iron cross hanging from his neckline.

"Your Royal Highness, Madame Prince!" Matthew stood in front of Chentian with a smile on his wife's face.

"General Matthew, and the beautiful Lady Matthew! Welcome! Mrs. Matthew looks really dazzling today, and it looks like she's going to kill a lot of eyeballs today! ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Madame Prince is the most eye-catching lady at the banquet today, isn't she?"

After a few pleasantries, Matthew and his wife entered the hall first.

In addition to General Mackensen, who stayed in Poland, General François and other major generals and staff officers also appeared one after another, and many people who studied with Chentian at the Königsberg Junior Military Academy are now middle and senior commanders above the regimental commander in Chentian's corps, and those who graduated from the Königsberg Military Academy and served as commanders above the battalion level were also invited to attend today's dinner.

When familiar faces appeared in front of him, Chen Tian couldn't help but miss that beautiful and arduous military school career; When those strange and young officers timidly salute themselves, he will look forward to the future of this vigorous and energetic regiment.

Gradually, more and more people came to Chentian Castle, and it seemed that most of the more than 300 people invited had already arrived, and the entire hall was also lively. The officers chatted happily with their glasses or introduced their mates to others, and the light music filled the hall.

The hall looks colorful, the ladies decorate the place like a garden with a variety of dresses, and the men are no less impressive, although they are basically wearing military dresses, but in terms of color, the gray of the army, the black of the armored forces, the dark blue of the navy, and the blue gray of the air force do not look monotonous at all, and their sturdy bodies with the simple and bright lines of the new military uniforms are also eye-catching.

Chen Tian took Lisa in the hall to greet everyone, when a familiar and crisp voice came from behind them, this sentence in German was round, not at all as stiff as it was back then.

"Your Royal Highness, Madame Prince!"

Chen Tian didn't need to look back to know who it was, but he didn't seem to have invited her.
