Who did Richie see? He saw Hans. Feng. Seckert.

Hans. Feng. Seckert was the first person to really appreciate Rich, and Richie was able to do so many things later, in some sense, because of Hans. Feng. Seckert's recommendation and solidarity.

"You're doing better than I thought you would." Hans. Feng. Seckert was not good at smiling, so his smile looked a little stiff, but those who knew him definitely didn't think it was a smiling smile. "You can be a good tactical commander, you can be a good staff officer, and then you'll probably need to be a good staff officer," he said. ”

Staff officer? Litchie knew that the Second German Reich had a special feature, that is, the number of staff officers was the largest in the world, not in the field of formulating strategy and tactics, but also in the number of personnel.

"Yes, staff officer." Crown Prince Wilhelm and Hans. Feng. Seckert is an old acquaintance, and the relationship between the two is not ordinary. He smiled at Richie and said, "Before your operation was launched, Hans had written to me many times, repeatedly recommending your battle plan, and thinking that you would definitely be an excellent staff officer. And, a good staff officer can change a war, and you're doing it. ”

Commander of the 1st Army, Otto. Feng. General Bello and the commander of the 2nd Army, Marx. Feng. General Galwitz, the two of them came over with some people one after another, and a large group of people gathered around Li Qi in an instant.

It was a situation where the royal family, the royal family, and the generals were in the inner layer of the core, and some of the figures such as the colonels and lieutenants were on the periphery, and they surrounded Richie in this way, and became a part of history under the capture of cameras and photographic equipment.

"He's destined to become a household name now." Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch looked at the crowd on the other side with a blank face, and said to Ewald. Feng. Kleist and Wa~er~T. "He deserves to be treated this way compared to what he has gained, but he can't snub your ......," said Moder, who had to stop as Richie stepped out of the crowd and walked towards them.

"Major, Trest and Moder!" With a sincere smile on his face, Li Qi said, "I have permission to take a group photo with all the participants in the operation this time." Before that, I'd like to take a picture with a few of you, okay? ”

Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch's face felt as if he had been punched, and his right eyebrow jumped one after another.

Ewald. Feng. Kleist and Wa~er~T. Modell, on the other hand, happily agreed.

Including the captured Germans who were rescued from the field hospital, the number of people who managed to return was 177, and the others who did not return were killed (missing) in the last battle, after all, the last counterattack of the Allied forces surrounding the field hospital was really too fierce.

Originally, it was just a group photo of the group of people who had passed through the field hospital, but in the end, the Air Force was involved, and even the ground staff of this field airfield were involved. The group photo lasted for about 1 hour, and finally the venue was moved indoors.

"You have to understand that today is just the beginning." Otto. Feng. Bello had a smile on his face, and he seemed proud of his support for Richie? He nodded and said, "To-morrow you will depart for Berlin, where you will be received by Your Majesty." Finally, it may be necessary to be interviewed by almost all the world's media. ”

Creating a hero, especially that hero, is not fiction, it is a real feat, and no country will refuse to do so.

In the war years, heroes were created even if there were no heroes, even if that hero would be false. All because the existence of heroes can arouse the morale of the army, and can also inspire more people to join the army and fight for the country.

Richie knows exactly what the next process will be, and he'll be a star and a role model for almost everyone to be inspired.

In fact, it is not only Rich, but also some officers and soldiers who fought bravely and played a key role will also be the beneficiaries of this operation, including Brauchitsch, Trest, Zeitzler, and Moder. The difference is that Li Qi is the protagonist this time.

"So, do you have any other suggestions?" Crown Prince William looked at Li Qi very seriously and asked, "Except for the one above the Air Force." ”

The excitement was over, and the dinner ended in a state of euphoria, because of the new news from the front, that the Allies had intensified their offensive on both fronts of the Somme and Verdun, but that the Allied forces had once again bled in front of the German lines. Preliminary estimates suggest that the Allies will lose no less than 80,000 troops in the new attack, at the cost of 30,000 on the German side.

There weren't many people in the room, but every one of them was a big one. They were talking about how the role of the Air Force in the war should be strengthened, and then they were talking about the strategy of the ground forces.

Li Qi is a sincere and fearful mentality, the original owner of his body graduated from the Senior Military Academy, and graduated with very good grades, otherwise it would not be possible to enter the army as a lieutenant. However, the original owner had not done anything shining before, and "he" had been squatting in the trench for nearly two years before Li Qi crossed.

The reason why he has a sincere and fearful mentality is not because Li Qi is facing many big people, but because it is difficult for him to express any opinions at the strategic level, and it is not suitable for him to express any opinions.

The battle of the Somme really started the ground offensive in three days? However, in three days, the Allies had lost nearly 250,000 troops, which was a terrifying number. However, in trench warfare, such casualty figures are extremely normal for the attacking side.

"In our plan, the entire battle will only consume about 500,000 enemy troops. Now the campaign has only been going on for three days, and we have already reached half of the expected goal. The corner of the Bavarian king~ prince's mouth hooked a smile, and he looked at Li Qi, who was sitting quietly on the side and looked a little restrained, and said: "As a price, we only paid less than 80,000 casualties. ”

If he could, Richie would shudder deeply, and when the high-ranking people described the war, the casualties were just a number, and for those who fought on the front line, it was a loss of life.

Litchie knew in advance that the war had actually entered a stalemate by July 1916. The German General Staff had long been unwilling to hope for a quick victory in the war, but instead wanted to shed more blood on the battlefield and force the Entente side to ...... At least the French side could not withstand the pressure of losses and was forced to take the initiative to sue for peace.

Verdun was a battle based on the bloodshed of the French. In a sense, the German army's intention to formulate the campaign was also gradually moving towards success, so that the dark clouds hanging over the Second German Reich seemed to dissipate somewhat? Maybe it's the entire Confederate camp that sees hope again? In short, it has strengthened the confidence of some people to see the final victory in the war.

[On the Western Front, because my butterfly stirred its wings slightly, the tide of the battle became more favorable for the German army. It's just that for Germany, whether the war can be won or not does not depend entirely on the frontal battlefield, right? In addition, has the Allies not yet received news of the imminent entry of the United States into the war? 】
