Chapter 2: Promotion (I)

October 1939, Army Hospital, Berlin, Germany:

Luo Siwei lay on the hospital bed bored, testing his special function - the Eye of God, the function of this Eye of God Luo Siwei also roughly tested it, with a detection distance of thirty kilometers and a clarity of ten centimeters. The detection range of thirty kilometers is enough for a tactical commander, such as a division-level commander, and the early detection distance is definitely not enough for the campaign commander, but how to upgrade the Eye of God, Luo Siwei has no clue at all, so he can only slowly explore it in the future.

As for crossing over to become Rommel, Luo Siwei hasn't come back to his senses yet, isn't he a German fan of later generations, why did he cross over inexplicably! And he crossed over to become Rommel, who was going to be poisoned in the future.

Most of the people who have a certain understanding of World War II worship the German army (it is the German army, not Germany), but in fact, we admire their army, their loyalty and bravery, patriotism and dedication, strength and indomitability, honor and sacrifice, as well as the diligence and rigorous style unique to the Germanic nation, which has nothing to do with the Nazis or fascists.

He was not at all interested in Hitler's Germanic theory of excellence, and he was very disgusted with some of the ultra-nationalism advocated by the Nazis, and he hated the Nazi massacre.

"Could it be that I crossed over to find death? Unwilling! Hum...... I am in charge of my life, not even the Führer. ”

Luo Siwei was muttering, and a beautiful blonde nurse gently pushed open the door of the ward and walked in, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Colonel, are you awake? Good news for you. ”

"Beautiful young lady, this time on the order of the Führer, as the commander of the base camp, and in charge of the work of the German guard Führer's base camp, but a downed Polish fighter plane crashed into the Führer's wartime headquarters, causing me to lie in the hospital for more than ten days, if there is any good news, it will not be my turn!"

Luo Siwei looked at the calendar at the bedside, oh! It was Rommel who looked at the calendar on the bedside and sighed with great resentment, now is the period of the Polish Campaign, the Polish Campaign is a war in which the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves, and he Rommel lost an opportunity to be promoted because of this disaster.

Why should Rommel be in such a hurry to be promoted, because he does not want to be poisoned or hanged by the international tribunal at Nuremberg. But he, Rommel, is only a colonel now, and if he doesn't want to die, he must be strong enough to change the trajectory of history.

The beautiful nurse helped Rommel pack up her daily necessities and said in a gentle voice:

"Just now the Prime Minister's Office called and said that you should immediately report back to the Führer's Guard."

Of course, Rosse's has also integrated all the consciousness of Rommel, and he is now the commander of the Führer's Guard, in charge of about 3,000 people!

"Can I be discharged from the hospital?"

"Of course, my colonel, your wounds are healed."

"Has Poland already surrendered?"

"Yes, it was broadcast this morning."

Now Rommel understood that Poland had surrendered, and the Führer was going to Poland to inspect, and if it was put in history, Rommel was honestly escorting Hitler to Warsaw for inspection and military parade, and there was no substantial benefit.

Now Rommel is no longer the original tactical genius, strategic short-sighted, and wooden-minded Rommel, Warsaw, Poland has just been occupied, and there are too many opportunities to make a fortune, such as Polish bank vaults, works of art in museums, and the wealth of those rich people.

"When a cannon goes off, ten thousand taels of gold" is by no means an empty phrase, not to mention that Rommel now has a most special identity -- the commander of the guard of the Führer's base camp, and Rommel can completely search any place in Warsaw under the guise of the Führer's visit to Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

In the name of searching for dangerous elements, in fact, it is secretly searching for wealth. Rommel didn't want to keep the money for himself, he had a more important use, and it definitely made more sense than putting it in his own pocket, which is a later story.

As long as Rommel looted enough wealth in the future and invested it where it made the most sense, it would keep Rommel alive in the future. If it's not enough to grab Poland, then grab France, there are so many works of art in France that it makes people drool when they think about it.

……

The imposing German Chancellery glistens in the sun, giving people a sense of solemnity and reverence, and the traffic in front of the Chancellery is full of people coming and going, but people and cars entering the Chancellery must stop and be subject to strict inspection.

As soon as Rommel arrived at the Chancellery, he was summoned by Hitler to the Chancellery conference room, which was a white marble hall, with red curtains, a shiny intarsia floor, a long table in the middle of a green column, white tablecloths with gold, silver, and glassware glittering, two golden giant chandeliers hanging from the high red and gold ceiling, countless round lamps of frosted glass on the chandeliers shone brightly, and there were also richly decorated wall lamps on the wall shining brightly.

Hitler was a man of simplicity, and his office was a far cry from the luxury here. The entire Chancellery is actually very beautifully decorated, but Hitler's office is shabby, why did Hitler do this, maybe his simple and face-saving thinking is making trouble!

"Report! The commander of the Führer's base guard, Rommel, came to report for duty and asked the Führer for instructions. ”

As soon as Rommel walked into the conference room, he gave a military salute to Hitler. (The Wehrmacht salute is the internationally accepted military salute, while the SS salute is a straight-arm Nazi salute, and Rommel is not a member of the Nazi Party.) )

Hitler was discussing matters with the Minister of War Brünberg, and when Hitler saw that Rommel was coming, he immediately stopped talking to Brünnburg, beckoned Rommel to his side and said:

"Colonel Rommel, you have come just in time, I have an important task for you!"

"It is an honour for me to serve my Führer."

Although Rommel did not admire Hitler as much as he used to, he could not show the slightest in his face, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

Hitler's respect for Rommel was very useful, Rommel served as the Führer's guard for several years, Rommel's ability made Hitler very appreciative, in fact, Hitler had already intended to fulfill Rommel's desire to command an armored division.

"Hmmm! Now that the damned Poles have surrendered, I'm going to go to their capital, Warsaw, to see where the parade is, I'm going to let the whole world see the invincible German army, but Warsaw has just been occupied, and there are still sporadic resistances in some places, so I order you to immediately take part of the Führer's Guard to Warsaw first to do security work, can you complete the task? ”

Hitler asked Rommel to enter Warsaw with the Führer's Guard in advance, and to work with the German troops there to do a good job of the security of his inspection of Warsaw. The historical Hitler did visit Warsaw on October 5, 39, and the military parade lasted for two hours, and of course Roth, as a German baston, knew about it.

Wasn't this the task Rommel dreamed of? He's about to go to Poland to loot gold and art! Is this a good thing when you are sleepy and meet a pillow?

"Pledge to complete the task, my honor is loyalty, my Führer."

In the past, Rommel was a serious and rigorous person, even if he admired Hitler in his heart and was grateful to Hitler, he was just stuffy in his heart, and now Rommel at least knows that saying his admiration for Hitler may allow him to get promoted faster, and if he wants to change history and his own destiny, he has no right to do it.

After Rommel finished speaking, he looked at Hitler with admiration. Hitler's early military adventures yielded unexpected gains, and the cult of Hitler's personality in Germany reached an unprecedented height, and Rommel certainly could not be left behind.

Hitler was so satisfied with Rommel's adoring eyes that Hitler had planned to announce an appointment after his inspection of Poland, but now he issued it in advance:

"Hmmm! Colonel Rommel, in view of your heroic performance in the Polish campaign, I have signed the order for your promotion to Major General, and you will receive the order for promotion at the Ministry of Defence. ”

"Thanks to the Führer's support, Rommel will always be loyal to my Führer."

"Hmmm! Well done, if you can successfully complete the task, I will fulfill your desire to command an armored division. ”
