"They've stopped firing on all fronts?"

The person who spoke was a man who did not look tall, but was somewhat majestic, and his name was Marx. Feng. Galwitz was the commander of the 2nd Army of the Second German Reich.

Marx. Feng. Garvetz was known as a defense expert, and the rest of the Somme front retreated, leaving behind eight divisions of the 2nd Army under his command, with a limited number of troops to defend a line of defense tens of kilometers long and three lines.

"Yes, the Entente has stopped firing shells at our positions. One of our pilots reported that he had discovered something during the battle. ”

"Oh? Pilot? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. His name is Manfred. Feng. Richthofen, with the rank of second lieutenant, was a baron of the Reich. ”

"Baron? Where is he now? ”

"Right outside the door."

"Let him in."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The headquarters of the 2nd Army was not on the front line, but was an estate behind the third line of defense. The French had been relocated and the rooms had been completely requisitioned by the Germans, so it looked like there were German soldiers walking around.

The estate looks quite large, and it should be the vacation place of some wealthy Frenchman, so the facilities and decoration are relatively luxurious.

The boots made a distinct crisp sound on the wooden floor, and the dark red door was pushed open, and a young man in a dark jacket entered. Feng. Richthofen.

Manfred. Feng. Richthofen is not well-known now, in fact he has only recently become a pilot, and has been working as a ground crew until then.

Marx. Feng. What Garwitz saw was a handsome young man. He meets with Manfred. Feng. Richthofen, the main reason is because of some incense, otherwise it is only necessary to ask people about the situation.

"Salute to you!" Manfred. Feng. Richthofen raised his hand in salute, straightened his waist, knocked his military boots, and nodded his head sideways: "Your Excellency, General." ”

"I know your father, Albrecht." Marx. Feng. Garvitz's fingers tapped on the long table where the map was placed, and he knocked on the corner of the map and said, "Point to the map and tell me where you found it." ”

Manfred. Feng. Richthofen rejected Marx in his heart. Feng. The first thing Galwitz said just now, his father is undoubtedly a Prussian nobleman, and at the same time, the circle of Prussian nobles is actually not large, and it is normal for the older generation to know each other, but for a young man who is arrogant and wants to rely on himself to obtain merit, the least favorite thing is nepotism.

In fact, "Richthofen" means "fair and honest", and this surname was earlier given to his family by the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. Feng. Richthofen could not change this, no matter how much he liked it.

"It's here." Manfred. Feng. Richthofen pointed out the place called Beater Villere, and he said: "We were ordered to engage the Allied planes, and there was a fierce battle in this position. The plane I was flying had to be lowered because of a problem with the spar......"

The rest of the words are all Manfred. Feng. After all, Richthofen did not know the existence of the operation of God Hull, and he only said the general situation.

Marx. Feng. Galvetz was one of the high-ranking generals who knew about the actions of God Hull, so in Manfred. Feng. Halfway through Richthofen's speech, his face began to turn wrong.

[Raised by a son of a bitch, that action that looks like a death sentence...... It seems to be ......, no, it's not like, it's really successful? 】

Nothing could be more telling than the cessation of shelling on the Allied side, and it must have been some important figure on the Allied side who had been killed or taken hostage, causing chaos at the top, and then spreading to the chain of command, forming an uncontrollable panic that brought the fighting on this side of the Somme to a halt.

"Jung! Jung! ”

Marx. Feng. Galvetz didn't care about Manfred at all. Feng. Richthofen shouted, and after a few shouts, he walked out quickly, leaving Manfred. Feng. Richthofen was a little stunned in the command room.

Didn't wait for Manfred. Feng. While Richthofen was hesitating as to what to do, Marx. Feng. Garwitz came in with a folder in his hand.

Follow Marx. Feng. Galvetz came in with a large group of officers, one of whom was dressed in the obvious Guards officer's attire.

"Manfred, you can leave." Marx. Feng. After speaking, Garvetz looked at the Guards major and asked, "I need to know about that action, immediately, immediately!" ”

The major of the Guards is Va~Er~T. Feng. Brauchitsch. At this moment, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face, his voice was a little loud uncontrollably, and he told the version of the Guards' operation at a very fast pace, and although he hesitated, he also told about Richie's version.

"So, your plan of action is not the same, and the initiator and deployer of the operation, Captain Richie, does not know that you will be involved?" Marx. Feng. Galvicz's face was obviously ugly, and he held back his anger: "The Guards already need heroes, and they are so urgent?" ”

Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch couldn't hide his embarrassment at all, and replied in a low voice: "We are just doing what we are told." ”

The personnel of the 2nd Army present all looked at Wa~Er~Te. with a strange look. Feng. Brauchitsch, and a few people even showed undisguised disdain.

Marx. Feng. Galvetz raised the folder in his hand: "So do I respond according to the plan you have arranged, or according to the initiator and deployer of Operation Shenhel?" ”

"Our course of action was discussed and studied in detail by the General Staff." Wa~er~ter. Feng. The embarrassment on Brauchitsch's face was gone, replaced by a full confidence: "Captain Rich's plan is to be a man and a lieutenant (Kurt. Zeitzler). ”

"I have just met with a baron who has watched almost the entire attack of our warriors against the Entente generals." Marx. Feng. Garvetz's expression was unusually serious: "In his description, the lads managed to capture a number of Allied generals and get trucks to drive to the field hospital. If there are no errors in the documents I have at hand, can I understand that it is a continuation of the Richie's plan of action and does not belong to the Guards? ”

Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch opened his mouth, and the part of his plan that had successfully attacked the generals of the Entente powers, killed or captured, did not go to the field hospital......
