Rommel, together with Manstein and Guderian, used the wealth they had looted in Poland to form a veterans' fund, which was intended to finance the disabled soldiers, so that the heroes would not shed blood and tears, and the use of the money would have to be signed by Rommel, Manstein and Guderian in order to be effective. ”

Hitler was a veteran of the First World War, he was almost blind because of his injuries, and Hitler remembered that period of food and clothing was very memorable, and Rommel used the looted wealth as a veterans' fund, which not only conformed to Hitler's wishes, but also showed that Rommel was a real soldier who valued his honor, which made Hitler understand that Rommel was definitely not the kind of greedy moth.

"Rommel was a truly trustworthy military man, and if only Göring had half as incorruptible as Rommel."

The second half of Hitler's sentence, Heydrich immediately filtered out, this matter was not his involvement, Goering, the arrogant air marshal, and Heydrich, the Gestapo, could not be provoked either.

This comprehensive investigation of Rommel made Hitler completely let go of his distrust of Rommel, and Hitler had secretly planned to train Rommel as a confidant in his heart. Hitler promoted and reused Rommel, in fact, Hitler was still for himself and for the control of the German Wehrmacht, so he would continue to install and promote Wehrmacht generals who were loyal to him.

……

The 7th Panzer Division, which arrived at the station, was not idle, Rommel asked his soldiers to continue to train various tactical coordination, but they could only use fake tanks during training, and now it was a period of concealment and waiting for an attack, and of course the tanks could not be driven out of the forest.

At this time, Rommel was in the war room with a group of division staff officers, repeatedly rehearsing their upcoming battle.

To tell the truth, although Rommel the Time-traveler has all the military knowledge of Rommel himself, and also has the advantage of knowing the history of the time-traveler, Rommel the Time-traveler still has a natural fear of the upcoming war.

This is a real charge, in the blink of an eye, thousands of dead and wounded, from the modern era to the past, I am afraid that there will be a period of adaptation.

In order to ensure that he would win the first battle, Rommel personally led scouts to the Belgian border, and then used his "Vision of God" to take a closer look at the area he was about to attack.

Although Rommel's "Eye of God" at this time had a detection range of only sixty kilometers, this was basically enough for a divisional commander.

The clarity of the "Eye of God" reached 10 centimeters, which even a person could see, and the fortifications built by Belgium in the border areas certainly could not escape Rommel's "Eye of God".

As soon as Romei spotted the enemy's fortifications, he immediately marked them on the map, and the artillerymen would accurately calculate their coordinates and destroy them with heavy artillery as soon as they were launched.

When Rommel saw the defense of the Belgian border area, he was instantly full of confidence again, why! Because the fortifications on the Belgian border are extremely sparse, many of them are overgrown with weeds, and at a glance you can see that these fortifications are not defended by many people at all.

Roadblocks were set up on the road leading from the border area to the Ardennes Forest, but behind the barricades there were no defending troops and no defensive firing points.

After Rommel carefully surveyed the area around the Ardennes Forest with the "Eye of God", he came up with a result:

"Such a defense is not even a tofu scum project, and the Germans can easily break through at a very slight cost."

The "Eye of God" is really a good thing, it can almost catch up with the modern high-definition reconnaissance satellite, and everything the enemy does not want to escape this pair of "eyes" looking down at the sky, this is completely knowing the other and knowing the enemy and knowing that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles!

……

After the German conquest of Poland in 1939, Adolf? Hitler proposed peace, but Britain and France rejected it, so Hitler was determined to use his strength to force Britain and France to sue for peace. October 9****, in a directive to the German army generals, set out his reasons for his conviction that attacking Western Europe was the only way out for Germany. He feared that a treaty with the Soviet Union would neutralize the Soviet Union only if it served its purposes.

Therefore, once Britain and France attacked Germany, the Soviet Union was likely to deliver a fatal blow from behind. So he was going to attack France well before the USSR was ready. He also believed that if France failed, Britain would follow suit. However, the German army generals, led by the commander-in-chief of the army, Brauchitsch, firmly opposed it, on the grounds that the German army was not strong enough to defeat the Western European armies, and if the war began, Germany would surely die. Hitler severely rebuked Brauchitsch and others for their cowardice, and ordered them to follow his ideas unconditionally.

Since the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, when Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, it and the Allies were at war on the European continent for a considerable period of time, known as a fake war. Adolph? Hitler had hoped that France and Britain would acquiesce in the German conquest of Poland and an immediate truce. This is because the stock of raw materials in Germany is very low (it needs to be imported from abroad).

The fact that the German war machine was now largely dependent on raw materials from the Soviet Union made Hitler uneasy about the situation because of the differences in the ******** of the two countries. Thus, on 6 October he made a peace proposal to Britain and France, and without waiting for a reply from both countries, on 9 October Hitler also formulated a military operation in response to the possibility of the Allies vetoing his proposal: Führer's Decree No. 6.

At Hitler's repeated urging, the German Army General Staff Headquarters drew up an operational plan for the Western Front, codenamed the "Yellow Plan." This plan was similar to the Schlieffen plan for the German invasion of France in World War I, that is, to put the main German army on the right flank and attack France through Belgium. But the Chief of Staff of Army Group A, Erich? Feng? Manstein, on the other hand, hated the idea and thought it was just a rehash of the same old tune. Hitler himself did not like this plan either. Manstein put forward his strategic concept: the main spearhead of the German offensive should be placed in the center, not on the right flank.

With powerful armored forces, the main assault was carried out on the Ardennes Forest area, which was a strategically decisive breakthrough. This was a shortcut to attack France by surprise and victory, which could cut off the connection between the North and the South Allied forces, divide and encircle the British and French Allied forces, and quickly destroy France. But the commander-in-chief of the German Army, ******?von? Brauchitsch refused to forward Manstein's plan to Hitler.

On January 10, 1940, a Luftwaffe officer carrying the "Yellow Plan" made a forced landing in Belgium due to a plane lost, and because he could not burn all this important document, part of it fell into the hands of Britain and France. So Manstein again presented his ideas to the army headquarters, which disgusted Brauchitsch so much that he was transferred to the post of commander of the 38th Infantry Corps. But Manstein took advantage of Hitler's meeting with the new army commanders and presented his views directly to Hitler.

Hitler's statement about Manstein was "understood very quickly like a fairy" and stated that he personally agreed with Manstein's opinion. The next day, Hitler summoned Army Commander-in-Chief Brauchitsch and Army Chief of Staff Halder and ordered them to draw up a new battle plan at once on the basis of Manstein's proposals.
