Chapter 1244: Dinner (Medium)
"It's not great, but at least we can work together."
Although Trode doesn't lie, he doesn't want to confess to Anselm directly, because the matter between him and Andre, even if he has a fairly close relationship with the two of them, Tryna, can't tell what is going on, let alone expect a pure outsider like Anselm to say anything.
"That's not good news......
Tonight, Anselm made his first statement, but although Anselm said this, Trood did not see any dissatisfaction on the part of Anselm. It seems that Anselm still understands this kind of thing. Although he didn't know the specific entanglement between Trode and Andre, he knew that as representatives of the two armies, they would not be so easy to get along.
Anselm shook the wine glass in his hand slightly, looked at the red wine shaking inside, and said: "You should be clear, your previous position will not change because of the improvement of relations between the Soviet Union and Germany. ”
The words "......" sent a chill down Troude's heart, for he knew exactly what Anselm meant. At the beginning, he had private communication with the Soviet army, in order to bring the two armies closer and promote them to work together to face the common enemy.
However, even if this kind of thing is seen now, it is indeed a good thing for the future. But it's a pity that even if he does a good thing, it can't be a thing that he did as a soldier and almost betrayed the country. This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly with reason.
For this reason, Trod's actions at that time can be described as very careful, even the people in the team, he only told Vincent. Even Alicia, whom he regarded as his right and left hand, did not tell him, which is enough to prove how seriously Trode takes this matter.
But unfortunately, the matter was revealed in the end, but it was extremely fortunate that Anselm did not pursue him in this matter. And this incident made Trode's opinion on Anselm's position begin to change, he initially thought that Anselm should be the main battle faction, and after this incident, he completely changed his opinion, and people thought that Anselm should be the main peace faction.
However, this matter should have been left unimportant after the Soviet Union and Germany had already formed a strategic alliance. Although the German army was divided into two factions at the beginning, now it is only arguing about how much benefit it needs to give to the Soviets, and no one is thinking of separating from the Soviets anymore. After all, almost everyone understood - this battle, without the help of the Soviets, they could not win!
Why, then, would Anselm say such a thing when such an obvious fact lay out in front of him? Trood didn't understand, but he was at least sure that there was a weight in it that he couldn't predict......
"Remember when I sent you behind enemy lines for an attraction operation?" Anselm smiled and brought up one of the most dangerous battles of Trode's entire military career. You must know that in that battle, although Trod did not lose a person or a tank, he had the strongest fighting first squad in the 47th Division to rescue them, in addition to Derek's team. Even, in the end, they relied on the help of Andrei, who was still an enemy at the time, and under so many favorable conditions, they were able to get out of danger very reluctantly.
It is predictable that if none of these factors had been missing, Trode would not have been able to sit across from Anselm and chat with him over wine.
"To be honest, I thought you kid was really dead."
Trode looked at Anselm's face, and although the corners of his mouth were upturned and he was smiling, there was no joke in his eyes at all—this was Anselm's true words, he must have thought so at the time, and Trode made a very firm decision in his heart.
"However, your efforts have given me some hope, more than all the strong fighting power." Anselm said calmly, although his words were praising Trode, but there was no meaning in his tone, as if he was just telling a very flat story.
"You shouldn't know that Paulus, who spoke highly of your combat ability at the time, was in high esteem after the fact."
"That guy, can even say something to praise me? It's really a rare ......."
Although he is still in front of Anselm, but only for Paulus, Trode really doesn't have a good impression - if Buttermes gives him the feeling that he doesn't want to have too much contact, then Paulus, as the captain of the first squad, is the type that Trode doesn't want to see at all. This disagreement manifests itself in many ways, the most important of which is the discord over personality and tactics.
Trode still remembers very clearly that the second half of that operation was commanded by Paulus, although Paulus did not lead his and Derek's teams at that time, but in hindsight, his command ability was still quite good, and he was able to lead two squads that had not been in contact with him so easily. And if this matter had been replaced by Trood and Derek, who were also present at the time, I am afraid it would have been a different outcome.
But that's it, Paulus can still speak highly of his abilities. This made Trode very strange, and although he had heard some rumors, he had never taken it seriously. On the one hand he believes, on the other hand he also disdains Paulus to praise him.
Anselm looked at Trode's somewhat angry expression and chuckled and said, "Hmph! It's just like you, and it looks a little like when I was younger. ”
"That's a great compliment......" said to Trode...... No, in fact, for any member of the 47th Division, it would be a great compliment for Anselm to say such a thing. Because Anselm's own abilities are obvious to all, if there are similarities with him, then it must not be too bad.
However, Trode didn't seem particularly happy with the compliment, because he didn't want to be a member of Anselm's journey. The difference between them is so great that even a blind man can see it. However, Trode could not deny that when Anselm said this sentence again, he did not mean to make fun of Trode at all, he should have said it from the heart.
Then the question arises again, what kind of medicine is sold in Anselm's gourd, Trood is more and more confused......
