Chapter 31: Legends?
"You will do this to demoralize and unnecessarily affect the course of the war!" Marx. Feng. Garvitz's expression was stinky, and he said, almost impatiently, "We need heroes, heroes from the bottom, to inspire the vast number of warriors who are also from the bottom!" ”
After nearly two years of the war, Germany's supplies had gradually dried up, and the sea was blocked by the superior naval forces of the Allies, some of the daily necessities were drastically reduced, and the standard of living in the country did not become more than advertised before the war, but decreased, and the people began to become war-weary.
In fact, the Second German Reich not only had a feeling of war aversion at home, but in fact because the war became a static war, with hundreds of thousands of casualties in each major war, and the soldiers were generally impatient.
In the war years, the appearance of heroes can always play a role in motivating, the Second German Reich is constantly appearing heroes, but most of the heroes have nothing to do with people of low origin, just look at the list of winners of the Blue Max Medal, almost all of them have the surname "Feng", and only the restored Iron Cross of the first class and the Iron Cross of the second class can be regarded as benefiting a wide range of groups, but most of them are still obtained by the nobility.
Marx. Feng. Although Galwitz was a general of the Second German Reich, he really belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria, and he was not very interested in the Guards directly under the Kaiser, especially when the Guards acted like that in order to create heroes. Maybe...... Also because Li Qi is from Bavaria?
Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch listened to Marx. Feng. Galvetz was roaring, waiting for an opportunity, and he said, "Captain Rich's action group was only fifty people, and what the pilot observed was at least a few hundred people in battle. We have reason to believe that my team members are the main force in the operation. ”
"Yes." Marx. Feng. Galvicz did not deny that he did not wait for Wa~er~t. Feng. Brauchitsch opened his mouth to speak, and went straight down: "What is your plan?" Is it to ignore the defensive line of at least 39 divisions of the Entente and penetrate the battlefield to return to our side? ”
"No, we ......" W~Er~T. Feng. Brauchitsch blushed a little, lowered his voice a little, and said, "According to Captain Rich's plan, concentrate enough planes and use airships......"
"Aha!" Marx. Feng. Garvetz waved his hand: "So that's the case?" So who will be awarded the Grand Iron Cross? It's you? The disdain on his face was not concealed at all.
Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch lowered his head and said with shame, "Yes...... It's Etter. Prince Friedrich. ”
There are several versions of the Grand Iron Cross, dated 1813, 1870 and 1914. Among them, the winners of the 1813 and 1870 editions, without exception, became national heroes.
The only five Grand Iron Cross recipients of the First World War were Kaiser Wilhelm II himself, Chief of the General Staff Paul Fernandes. Feng. Hindenburg, Quartermaster General Erich. Ludendorff, Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Front, Prince Leopold of Bavaria. Maximilian. Joseph. Maria. Arnulf and the No. 1 general on the Eastern Front, August. Feng. Mackensen.
Of course, in the current time period, Paul. Feng. Hindenburg and Erich. Ludendorff has not yet received the Grand Iron Cross, even if Operation Shenhel is successful, Li Qi is not qualified for the Grand Iron Cross, not because of insufficient merit, but because the Grand Iron Cross is only awarded to big people above the rank of general.
Ettel. Friedrich was the second son of Kaiser Wilhelm II, and he not only had the status of a prince, but also the title of commander of an army group. But he was no match for his brother, Crown Prince William, at least he was actually on the battlefield and commanding an army group.
"We don't have the idea of suppression...... "W~Er~Te. Feng. Brauchitsch explained: "According to our speculation, we do not think that the so-called god Hel has a chance of success, so ......"
That Marx. Feng. Garvetz doesn't like to hear it, but he doesn't have as much time to ramble. "The reality is that Operation Shenhel is already close to success," he said. I don't want to know what you're going to do. What I want to know now is, how many airships do you have in a concentration? ”
"Seven, Your Excellency." Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch said: "We have prepared seven Zeppelin L-type airships. ”
Marx. Feng. Garvitz muttered, "Really? That adds up to nine ......."
The carrying capacity of the Zeppelin is very large, as can be seen from the fact that it can carry bombs to the British Isles to bomb London, in fact, if it is squeezed, it will have absolutely no problem carrying twenty or thirty people.
The Guards have prepared seven ships, and judging from the maximum number of people they can carry at forty, they are really well prepared, after all, the Guards action group is composed of three hundred people. Considering the possible casualties in the battle, in fact, the airships prepared by the Guards are a bit too much.
"With airships and airplanes, you've thought it through!" Marx. Feng. Garvetz sneered, but because he didn't want to get too stiff with the royal family, he skipped the topic and went straight to the topic: "Nine airships, plus fifty planes, they will land on the plain east of that field hospital." Is there a problem? ”
Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch saluted solemnly: "No problem at all!" ”
"Then you can go." Marx. Feng. Galvetz didn't want to see any more Guards personnel at all, and his tone was a little stiff: "In addition, I will send someone to participate in the whole process, and he will be the deputy commander of this pick-up operation." ”
Wa ~ Er~ Te, who has already walked a few steps. Feng. Brauchitsch turned and saluted again: "Yes, Your Excellency! This time he was not called to stop again, first walking slowly, then speeding up and leaving.
"It's not like that, is it?" Marx. Feng. The person to whom Garvetz spoke was a major. He shook his head, paused, and asked, "The 18th Reserve Army confirmed that it can enter the line at any time?" ”
The major's name was Werner. Feng. Blomburg, he would be in 1933-1937 as Adolf. Hitler's Minister of Defense, however, is now the Chief of Operations of the 18th Reserve Army.
Werner. Feng. Blomburg answered the question first, waited for the business to be almost finished, and couldn't help but be curious, and asked: "Your Excellency, is the operation of the god Hull you are talking about the one I know?" As far as I know, almost everyone is laughing at that course of action, only Hans, who is far away on the Eastern Front. Feng. When His Excellency General Seckert heard this, he thought it would be an epoch-making military operation. ”
"Joke?" Marx. Feng. Garwitz lit a cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring to cover his face, so he couldn't see what his expression was, and his voice seemed to be dreamy because his face was obscured by the smoke: "It did seem like a joke at first, but a plan that didn't think it would work is going to work." Now we are the only ones who can stop them. ”
Werner. Feng. Blomburg let out a low sigh of admiration, and then said, "Yes, at least no country would be so mad as to fire at its own generals." So, if that captain does capture the Entente general, he will become a legend! ”
