Guderian's blitzkrieg was perfected, Rommel and Manstein gave Guderian a lot of help, so the three of them were best friends, and Guderian was now also pulled into the veterans' fund by Rommel. Guderian, who despised bribery very much, had to pinch his nose at this time and began to give gifts in a big way, these works of art were seized anyway, and Guderian was at ease when he gave them.

(The National Museum of Poland has eight branches, and the collection is extremely rich, from BC to modern times, there are collections of all works of art, the total number is about two million, there may not be so many during World War II, a million pieces should be there, some may be lost during the war, Rommel looted at least hundreds of thousands of works of art!) ）

……

Hitler loved painting when he was young, and for a while he still made a living by selling paintings, so Rommel specially found hundreds of top paintings for Hitler, and when Hitler received these paintings, he was also very surprised.

Because dozens of these paintings were made by world-renowned painters, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Picasso, etc., these paintings were exactly what Hitler dreamed of, and Rommel's gift was sent to Hitler's heart.

If Hitler had been given money or gold, the innocent Hitler would probably have sent Rommel to a court-martial, but the painting was different, and Hitler fully accepted Rommel's intentions.

Rommel did not hide anything from Hitler, and his telegram to Hitler made it very clear that this was the spoils of war captured in Poland, and that the great Führer deserved to share them, remember, that this was the spoils of war, and that it was a matter of course to give the spoils to the great Führer.

Rommel in Hitler's mind, unconsciously raised a notch, although Hitler will not promote Rommel to the military rank, but at least Hitler knows Rommel's heart, in our Chinese words - Jane in the heart of the emperor.

Baumann, the head of the Führer's office, also received a gift from Rommel to Guderian, and the amount was not small, why did Rommel make such a big bet on a small chief of staff

Rommel who came through deeply understood that it was better not to offend the villain around the Führer, and there are countless historical lessons in Chinese history, such as Zhao Gao, Wei Zhongxian, etc., Rommel in history was given death by Hitler, and it was Bauman who finally asked Hitler to order Rommel to die.

Gave a gift to the villain next to the Führer, what about Goering, who may become an enemy in the future? Rommel also gave it, the arrogant and infinite Goering is not something that Rommel, a little colonel, can offend at this time, and Rommel must have given a gift with a hot face to other people's cold butts.

But Rommel still pinched his nose and sent it, what kind of person Goering is, the historical comments of later generations are very thorough, Goering must have this ability, but he has a narrow personality, he can't listen to other people's opinions, he thinks he is a close comrade-in-arms with Hitler, in Germany it is arrogant and unlimited, and he simply doesn't take anyone in his eyes, from Goering's words: "Everything that can fly on German soil belongs to me." You can see how arrogant he is.

If Rommel did not give it, Goering would definitely dare to make noise in front of Hitler, and Rommel would have no good fruit to eat at that time.

In a word, Rommel's gift giving is based on the principle: as long as you are a powerful person in Germany, whether you are an enemy or a villain, you will give it all. In fact, this is the great progress of Rommel in dealing with people and things, which must be the result of Rommel's integration of the Eastern idea of moderation. The historical Rommel did not understand these things at all, and it was precisely because of his rigorous character that caused his tragic end.

During Hitler's visit to Poland, it was Rommel who guarded Hitler's security. After Hitler learned of Rommel's loyalty to him, Hitler's attitude towards Rommel became even more amiable, and Hitler always wanted to cultivate a force in the Wehrmacht that was completely loyal to the Führer, and Rommel began to enter Hitler's list at this time.

Why Hitler cultivated in the Wehrmacht forces that were completely loyal to himself began with the Wehrmacht and Hitler himself.

"Germany's Wehrmacht has long been controlled by the traditional aristocracy, before the First World War, the children of civilian families were not allowed to go to military schools, such as Rommel, it was because of the outbreak of World War I that a large number of low-level officers were needed, and Rommel had the opportunity to go to military schools.

Hitler was a complete civilian, he was only a corporal in World War I, and Hitler's ability to become the Führer was completely his own struggle, so the aristocratic officer corps in the Wehrmacht looked down on Hitler as a civilian-born person at all, and many of them were secretly overthrowing Hitlerite.

Historically, Hitler experienced forty-four assassinations, half of which were carried out by the noble officer corps within the Wehrmacht, and after the middle of World War II, because the assassination incident made Hitler lose trust in the Wehrmacht, Hitler dismissed Brauchitsch as Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and made himself Commander-in-Chief of the Army.

It was precisely because Hitler did not have absolute control over the Wehrmacht that Hitler wanted to cultivate in the Wehrmacht forces that were completely loyal to him. After Hitler knew Rommel's loyalty to him, Rommel's path to promotion was definitely smoother. In the future, Hitler's military decisions in Rommel will receive Hitler's more thorough support, which Rommel needs most.

(Historically, Rommel was promoted to major general in March 39 - field marshal on June 22, 43, in fact, he was also promoted by rocket, and Hitler had the grace of knowing Rommel, which is proof that there is no doubt.) ）

Rommel served Hitler in the saddle, and the reward was also huge, Hitler met with Rommel alone again on the special train back to Berlin, and at this meeting, Hitler did not make another tirade, but said directly to Rommel:

"Rommel, in view of your loyalty and superior ability, I have decided to fulfill your request to command an armored division, but I am afraid that you, as a descendant of a commoner, will not be able to suppress those traditional aristocratic officers when you get to the front-line troops......"

How could Rommel not know what Hitler meant! The prerequisite for Hitler's promotion to Rommel is first loyalty, and then it is ability, all dictators are like this, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign are no exceptions, Rommel is definitely well versed in the truth, at this time, it is definitely the time to show loyalty.

Rommel put his feet together and gave Hitler a standard military salute with a "snap":

"My honor is loyalty, and Rommel will always be loyal to my Führer, who is the sharpest sword in the Führer's hand, sending all the Führer's enemies to God."

Rommel in history would definitely not be able to say such a slippery horse, but for Rommel, this traverser, it was simply easy and ordinary.

Hitler was extremely satisfied with Rommel's words of loyalty, what Hitler needed was a loyal Wehrmacht general, otherwise he would not have another SS!
