We don't fight for enslavement! We fight for freedom! We are not machines, we are not cows and horses, we are people! It's the Germanic people who never gave in! ”

We unite in the name of freedom! Fight for a new, fair world! We fight for a job for everyone! Fight for those who enslaved us to get out of the land of the Germans! Fight because we don't need to shout and protest all day! Fight for our dignity! Fight for our promises! ”

Fight for the liberation of all of Europe!

We fight for the glory of our ancestors!

Fight for our children and grandchildren!

Fight for us to be Germanic people who never give in!

Long live my compatriots, Germany and the German people! Long live freedom and dignity!

Long live the Great Führer!! ”

The audience of thousands below all stood up and gave Rommel the warmest and most fervent applause and cheers:

"Hey! Hitler. ”

"For freedom and dignity."

"Long live Hitler."

"Rommel's victory."

"Long live the Third Reich." ……

The incessant applause and shouts echoed through the Capitol, and everyone was thrilled by the incomparable speech.

Even Hitler and a group of senior German officials involuntarily stood up and applauded Rommel, and several high-ranking German officials who stood with Hitler began to talk to Hitler in whispers:

"Great Führer, you have a successor, another speech genius has appeared, congratulations!!"

"My Führer, you have a successor, and it seems that God still favors the great Führer, and I Goebbels will be beyond my reach."

Hitler and Goebbels, like everyone else, stood up and applauded Rommel's impassioned speech, which Hitler applauded from the heart.

Hitler had no sons and did not train a successor, and at this time Rommel appeared, and with Rommel's incomparable "loyalty" to Hitler, Hitler planned to train Rommel to be his successor.

After Rommel's speech, the heroes recommended by the rest of the army came to the stage to give speeches, and their speeches can only be described as barely audible, and they are definitely not as infectious as Rommel's speeches.

After the Heroes' Report, Rommel sent a telegram to Bismarck, saying that the current crisis in Africa was entirely superficial, and that Montgomery was purely a dog jumping over the wall.

Rommel told Bismarck not to worry about his previous tactical set-up, and to use one or two Panzer Divisions hidden on the Eastern Front to counterattack the attacking British army.

Rommel's Afrika Korps had four full divisions, the Wehrmacht 5th, 7th, and 15th Panzer Divisions and the SS Viking Panzer Division.

The German Afrika Korps had absolute superiority both in the air and on the ground, and now even on the sea, the Italian fleet was in an absolute advantage, because the British Mediterranean fleet was annihilated by Rommel, and the Italian monkeys began to dominate the Mediterranean.

As soon as Rommel sent the telegram, he was not worried about the situation in North Africa, and he believed that brothers such as Bismarck and Hans would definitely be able to cope with Montgomery's last hurried dog jumping over the wall.

……

On the second day of the Heroes' Report, Hitler's latest appointment to Rommel came down, and Rommel, who had been promoted to field marshal, now had a new post, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the High Command, and his original post remained unchanged.

Speaking of the German leadership, there are many problems now, the most serious is the overlap of the two command structures of the High Command and the Ministry of Defense, and then Hitler and the Ministry of Defense compete for control of the Wehrmacht, which lays a hidden danger for Germany's annihilation.

After Hitler came to power, the functions of the General Staff of the German Army gradually changed, and on February 4, 1937, Hitler issued a proclamation on the leadership of the Wehrmacht.

In the proclamation, in addition to announcing that he would monopolize military and political power, Hitler also stipulated the division of labor and powers of the leading organs:

The Wehrmacht Bureau, formerly under the Ministry of Defense, was renamed the Wehrmacht High Command and was directly subordinate to Hitler as Hitler's military staff.

The former director of the National Defence Forces Bureau was inaugurated as Chief of Staff of the Supreme Command of the National Defence Forces, and is the head of the Supreme Command, at the same level as the Minister of National Defence. The Supreme High Command takes over the operations of the Ministry of Defence, and the Chief of Staff of the Supreme High Command exercises the functions and powers of the former Minister of Defence. On February 5, 1937, Hitler appointed Field Marshal Keitel Chief of the General Staff of the Supreme High Command of the German Armed Forces.

The Supreme High Command includes the General Office, the General Directorate of the Armed Forces, the Operations Bureau (1 Bureau), the Espionage Bureau (2 Bureau), the Communications Bureau, the Economic and Armaments Bureau, the Liaison Bureau and other institutions. In peacetime, the Supreme High Command was fully responsible for the preparation of Germany's defense, on the orders of Hitler.

In this way, the position and powers of the traditional General Staff of the Army of the German army were in a delicate and awkward position. After the outbreak of World War II, the contradictions between Hitler and the Army Headquarters and the Army General Staff gradually became apparent.

During the attack on France, Hitler for the first time forced the Army Headquarters to accept his military views on the Battle of Dunkirk, and at a critical moment handed over important decisions to his subordinate command (Leinster), which led to the gradual disintegration of the traditional German military command system.

During the Battle of Moscow, with Brauchitsch's resignation, Hitler's distrust of the Army General Staff became clearer, and the Army Headquarters gradually became Hitler's "out-and-out herald".

The Chief of the General Staff of the German Army refers to the Chief of the General Staff of the German Army in general. And William? Field Marshal Keitel is the Chief of Staff of the Supreme High Command. So they were different, and Keitel was responsible only to Hitler alone.

And the chief of the general staff of the German army was responsible for the entire German Wehrmacht, and the chief of staff of the general staff of the German army was established very early, and the chief of the general staff of the supreme command was established after the mustache came to power. That's the difference.

All the armed forces of Germany were under the control and command of the High Command, which was Hitler's word, and there was nothing in peacetime.

In wartime, it will inevitably lead to fierce conflicts between the commands of the various services, the General Staff of the German Army and the High Command, and at the same time plunge Germany's already well-established command system into chaos.

Hitler's dictatorship was indeed digging a grave for himself, and at the same time digging a grave for the Reichs of a third country.

Rommel was just a chief of staff, he had no ability to change the status quo, and Rommel did not write directly to Hitler and ask the great, omnipotent Führer to correct his mistakes, which was undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

Is there no way for Rommel? You must know that the Third Reich is over, as long as Rommel is dead.

Rommel already had his own perfect plan in his heart, but this plan could only be implemented with the cooperation of many high-ranking generals, otherwise Rommel would still be dead. (To be continued.) )
