Would Speller dare to disobey Goering in this case? Speller told Li Mo the whole thing, which actually showed that Sperler and Goering were not people who wore the same pants, and there was of course a reason why Sperer dared not obey Göring's orders.

The Luftwaffe, like the army, also has two kinds of forces, one is the traditional force, the force composed of German aristocracy, Germany before World War I, civilian children can not go to military schools, and officers must be graduates of military schools to serve, civilian children can only rely on military merits to obtain the title of nobility, can be promoted to officers, which has caused the reality that Germany's senior generals are all nobles, so Germany's traditional forces are extremely huge, even Hitler can not shake it.

And Hitler and Goering are both new magnates, their appearance broke the monopoly of German traditional forces on German state power, and became a direct threat to their interests, the same is true of the Luftwaffe, many high-ranking generals obey Goering on the surface, but in their hearts they are all kinds of disobedience. In fact, at this time, Hitler was also making small moves in order to regain control of the German Army from the traditional forces, and Heydrich, the "humanoid vicious dog", had been secretly collecting information about Varner, the commander-in-chief of the army, in order to seize Varner's handle as soon as possible, and then justifiably oust Varner from the position of commander-in-chief of the German army.

The power struggle at the top of Germany has not yet affected the low-ranking officer Limer, and as long as Goering, the dead fat man, does not extend his hand to the army, Limer can fully display his skills in the Wehrmacht.

"My general, what are you going to do with Ondet?"

"Leave it alone."

Speller is also simply, Speller is not good-looking, but he is tough in his heart, he is extremely strong in life, his capital is to be able to fight, and his promotion is completely based on his own military merits, so he doesn't need Speller to flatter anyone at all.

"Thank you very much, general, now I will talk about my experience in defensive warfare: I think our troops, as long as the conditions permit, should dig anti-artillery holes, and the excavation method of anti-artillery holes is not the traditional rectangular round hole, but a cave like a cat's ear, which is almost equivalent to a triangle, which is reinforced with two steel plates, and such a cat's ear hole can completely resist the enemy's heavy artillery bombardment."

"Cat ear piercing...... Okay, very figurative metaphor, your suggestion is very good, as for the production of steel plates, I think this can be ordered from your family, and then shipped to the battlefield to test the effect. ”

……

Li Mo and General Speer talked about the experience of defensive warfare for about an hour, and when Li Mo was leaving, he made a request to General Speer:

"My general, the men and horsemen who fought with me, they fought very bravely and tenaciously, after the last baptism of war, they have all grown into real warriors, they all want to stay in the fighting army, so I ask the general for a felt."

"They can help you hold the Blue Bridge, they should be rewarded, since they ask to stay in the combat unit, then it's better to stay, it's better to be under your hands, and it is more than enough to be promoted to company commander according to your military merits, I can call the shots, I just need to report to the Army General Headquarters, you can be the acting company commander now! Wait for the official appointment documents to come down. ”

"Thank you, General, for your kindness, Ondet is unforgettable."

After Li Mo happily left the vulture headquarters, Speeler looked at Li Mo's high-spirited back before muttering:

"Brother Krupp, you and I have been playing with mud together since childhood, in order to help your son, brother, I have offended my top boss Goering to death, as for how far your son can go, it can only depend on his creation, brother, I have done my best."

……

"Platoon commander, we can really stay, and we are still soldiers under you...... Oooooooo......oo

"Of course, you can all stay, because we are brothers, then we will always fight together, so our company will be called Brothers in Arms from now on."

As soon as Li Mo returned to the station, he told everyone the good news, and the result was that everyone worked together to throw him into the sky again and again.

Franco is also actively preparing for the attack on the two industrial cities in the east, and it is too normal for two or three months to prepare for such a big battle, and the government army is afraid to come out of the capital anyway.

The reinforcements for Li Mo were also sent more than ten days later, and this time was also just used by Li Mo reasonably, training with his brother every day, Li Mo has always emphasized, "Sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime." ”

Li Mo was promoted so quickly on the battlefield, of course, it can only be limited to low-level officers, because of the strong background and connections of the Krupp family, coupled with Li Mo's own combat record, coupled with the death of the previous commander and the vacant position, Li Mo was promoted to lieutenant company commander after participating in the war for more than ten days, it can be said that Li Mo's promotion speed is rocket speed, but in the end, the situation is also very common on the battlefield, and it is not beyond the scope of people's understanding.

Due to the armed intervention of Germany and Italy and the "non-interference" policies of Britain and France, the balance of forces between the two sides was obviously unfavorable to the Republican side, and the various parties and factions within the Popular Front had different political practices and different paces, and they never established a unified army, thus weakening their combat effectiveness. In fact, judging from the current situation, the rebel army has always been in the strategic offensive stage, while the government army can only defend passively, almost everywhere defensively, everywhere weak, can not form an absolute superiority in troops, if the Spanish government army does not have a qualified military commander, basically it will not be able to change its fate.

The Battle of Santander in the East began on August 1, 1937, and the first target of the rebel offensive was Santander, and the rebels mobilized 150,000 troops to attack, while the rest of the troops remained on guard around the capital Madrid to prevent government forces from rushing out of the capital to attack the rebels' backs. The government forces were garrisoned in Santander with 30,000 men and in Gijón with 30,000 men, for a total of more than 60,000 government troops defending the two cities. Of course, it was impossible for the rebels to attack two cities at the same time, but divided 30,000 troops to guard the city of Gijón, and the remaining 120,000 attacked Santander with all their might.

120,000 against 30,000, even if the government army has a defensive advantage, it is difficult to hold Santander for a long time, not to mention that their defenders are basically second-line government troops, not the elite of the government army, and around the capital where the elite of the government army is basically concentrated, there is no frightening international column in Santander.

Although it was still morning, the scorching heat made people soak in stinky sweat was really uncomfortable, Li Mo and his company hid in a bush five hundred meters in front of the enemy's position, the feeling of touching it casually, and the feeling of hot one hand was unforgettable, as if the aftermath of midsummer was still not retreating.

"Boom...... Boom ......"
