Chapter 260: The State of Superiority and Disadvantage

Rommel had become the marshal of the Third Reich, serving as both the governor of France and the commander of the Afrika Korps, but Rommel had 130,000 troops under his direct command, with only seven divisions.

With Rommel's current strength, it is very difficult to change the premise and destiny of himself and the Third Reich.

In a word, Rommel's military and political positions were too low, although Hitler promoted Rommel's military rank to marshal, but Hitler did not let Rommel enter the high command, and Rommel still served as the French governor and the commander of the Afrika Korps.

Rommel, the marshal, did not enter the decision-making level of the Third Reich at all, in fact, even if Rommel entered the high command, it would be of little use, and no one could change what Hitler decided.

Did Rommel really have no chance to change the fate of himself and the Third Reich? There are chances, but the difference between success and failure is unknown.

Rommel's advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious, let's talk about Rommel's advantages first, France, an industrial country, has been firmly in Rommel's hands, and after Rommel's governance, it has completely restored its industrial production capacity.

All the weapons and equipment that Rommel needs can be produced in France, and the number is huge, it is not a problem to equip millions of troops, and France can also support millions of troops to fight, which is one of Rommel's greatest advantages.

The second advantage is that Rommel is about to gain control of Northcontinent, as long as the oil in North Africa is extracted and some of the original mines in North Africa are restored, the strategic materials needed by the whole of Germany will not be a problem.

The third advantage, Rommel in the war, got to know more than a dozen hardcore brothers, such as Guderian and Manstein, they are Germany, the world's top strategic commanders, Rommel is still fighting, with a large number of loyal to Rommel, such as Bismarck and the Seventh Panzer Division.

The fourth advantage is that Rommel's fame in Germany and even in the world is now in full swing, which provides Rommel with a solid foundation and conditions for further public opinion.

Of course, Rommel's disadvantage was also very obvious, Rommel was still a colonel at the beginning of the war, and his promotion was entirely due to his great military exploits.

As a result, Rommel did not have many high-level contacts in Germany, and there were even people who wanted to kill Rommel because they were jealous of Rommel's promotion, such as Goering.

In addition, the troops that Rommel can command are too few, with a total of only 130,000 people, which is okay for the British army in North Africa, but if it is put on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, I am afraid that it will be consumed if it does not have a few bubbles.

Rommel could not compete with Hitler for power, he could only rely on the Habsburgs, because Rommel really had very little political background.

After about three minutes of fierce shouting, Hitler's habitual movements came, his hands raised very forcefully, his arms parallel to his shoulders, palms on the brim of his hat, and then Hitler's palms quickly pushed back and pushed his palms forward.

This action is very classic, like a salute and a wave, and at the same time it can indicate the awareness of pause, which is really a triple win!!

As soon as the people below saw Hitler's movements, they all sat down, and the entire Reichstag was suddenly silent, and Hitler was very satisfied.

The applause of "pop bang ......" lasted for a long time, and Hitler returned to the protocol seat amid the applause, and then it was Rommel to give a heroic report:

"Great Führers, marshals and commanders,

It is an honour for me to be here today as a representative of the Afrika Korps to report on our achievements on the front lines of the Afrika Korps.

As a matter of fact, I am only a front-line commander, and all the achievements we have made on the front line are inseparable from the guidance of the great Führer, and all our officers and men who participated in the war have also achieved brilliant results under the incomparably correct guidance of the great Führer.

Honor to the great Führer, honor to every soldier at the front, honor to all the Germanic peoples......"

"Hey! Hitler...... Bang Bang ...... Long live the Führer......" one after another.

When Rommel gave a speech on it, Hitler and Goebbels and Brauchitsch began to talk in a whisper, and Hitler, after listening to Rommel's opening remarks, was extremely satisfied with Rommel's choice of words:

"Goebbels, Rommel is really good!! Knowledgeable, human, and war-like, Rommel lived up to my expectations of him. ”

After Hitler finished speaking, he turned his head to the left, and the commander-in-chief of the army, Brauchitsch, said:

"General Brauchitsch, Rommel is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has loyalty and noble knighthood of faith, we in Germany need such talents, I think Rommel can command an army group."

An army group has about 25 to 40 armies with a total strength of 30 to 1 million. That's the good thing about sycophancy, and that's how it is now, and the same is true of World War II.

Hitler's words basically determined whether Rommel's future career would be smooth sailing, with Hitler's verbal decree, even if Goering was in the way, it would be useless, Goering's rights came from Hitler, and he left Hitler's fart.

“…… Apparently. We all know that the great war is coming, but we are not at all worried, because we have the spiritual guidance of the Great Führer, and we will be invincible.

War is not as terrible as those who have never fought imagined, and writers talk about what they will miss your mother, lovers and wives.

These writers have never heard a single enemy gunshot, nor have they ever missed a meal, and they have written about war not as it is, but as they imagined.

War is the most spectacular competition that human beings can participate in, and war will create heroes and heroes, and it will wash away all sludge and muddy water.

All the people are in the war, the cowards are just the ones who let their fears overcome the sense of duty, the sense of duty is the essence of the man's indignation, and the Germans can be proud that they are all heroes, just like I, Rommel, reap the victory, and reap the great honor.

Remember, the enemy is just as scared as you are, probably more than you, and they are not superhuman.

In addition, we must also remember that whether in hand-to-hand combat or in battle, it is always the attacker who has a better chance of winning, and defense is not a huge victory, and victory is also a small victory, only offense! Offensive!! Attack again!! in order to achieve the most brilliant victory. ”

"Bang bang...... Bang Bang ...... Offensive! Offensive!! Attack again!! ”

Fierce applause erupted suddenly, and Rommel, of course, had to match the passion of the audience, constantly waving to the enthusiastic audience below, while shouting "Attack!" with all his might. Offensive!! Attack again!! slogans. (To be continued.) )
