Chapter 369: The Verge

Ernst actually wanted the ten great marshals, and the remaining seven were just to give the generals a chance, a chance to really reach the top.

The media has been reporting frequently on the three newly canonized marshals, and at the same time, because of the new situation that is coming, the military system of the entire Eastern European Union has begun to change.

The battlefields in Europe and Asia made it impossible for the five theaters of war to continue to maintain, and after some consolidation, the Far East Command and the European Command were formally established, and the commanders of both sides were the newly promoted Marshal Andrei and Marshal Schellner, respectively.

First Marshal Kurt? He only retains one position, and that is the president of the Czech Army Academy. Do not underestimate the position of this dean, this is the real father of the Eastern European Union Army.

From this moment on, Kurt can be regarded as a real retirement with the country, and even his title has been raised to the level of a duke, you must know that since Ernst reformed the aristocratic system, such a title as a duke is only qualified by the royal family.

What are the titles of the other two who are also marshals? A count and a marquis, it is estimated that it is very difficult for them to want a duke's title in this life.

The preference is not only for Kurt, Massena has worked hard for so many years, it can be said that one-third of the credit of today's Eastern European Alliance belongs to Massena, so he is also one of the only two dukes with foreign surnames in the entire Eastern European Union.

The new two commands will have 4.5 million and 500,000 troops each, for a total of 5 million, plus 3 million reserve troops, 2 million in Europe and 1 million in Asia.

The enemy of the Far East Command is now only one Japan, although the Japanese navy is very strong. But in fact, for the current Far Eastern Command. There was only one chance left to capture Japan.

The military maneuvers of the Eastern European coalition attract various countries around the globe. Everyone knows that no matter whether Germany and the Eastern European alliance win, they will become the hegemon of the world, and the only one left to intervene is the United States.

France had fallen, England had fallen, Spain and Italy had become direct accomplices of Germany, and even their former rulers had been placed under house arrest, and the whole country was under Hitler's control.

Of course, local chaos is inevitable. It was so difficult for Ernst to put things in order, and there was no reason for Hitler to easily settle everything in the country, after all, the protagonist here was Ernst Franz, not Hitler.

Hitler also understood Ernst's urgency, so he no longer expected anything, and directly began to increase troops on the border, and a world-class war was about to begin.

Field Marshal Schellner, commander-in-chief of the European Command, was very excited, because although he had always held the title of general commander in Europe for several years, in fact his real power was not great, and the people below him did all kinds of things in an orderly manner, and there was no need for him to come forward.

At this moment, he finally returned to the place he was familiar with, and even he was the head of the place. More than a dozen of the most prominent generals of the Eastern European Alliance, including Johann von Clezio, Tiger and David Pussin, were under his command and awaited military orders from him.

To put it simply, most of the European theater of operations are veterans. The European battlefield was also the most important place for Ernst, and Ernst was not very relieved by those excellent young generals from Germany.

Because of the merits, Ernst deliberately divided the generals into three ranks, one star general to three stars, of which three stars are the highest rank, and then Ernst limited the number of ten marshals.

This battle between the Eastern European Alliance and Germany was a crucial battle, because everyone knew that this was the only chance to become a marshal, and to miss this one time was to miss it for life, because who knows if there will be another war?

In the new army system, the group army has also changed from the original 100,000 army to five army divisions and more than 50,000 army troops, so a large number of lieutenant generals have been promoted to generals, which is also an opportunity for them to be promoted to marshal, after all, the restrictions of their positions make it difficult for them to really surpass their superiors and become marshals, and it is also difficult for them to give full play to their real combat effectiveness.

The 5 million army and 100 army groups were deployed on the border between the Far Eastern theater and the European theater, and 100 army commanders, lieutenant generals and generals were waiting for the opportunity to fight for the marshal.

Rommel and Guderian were two of the best young German generals, and because of this trend, they became the commanders of the two major armies, and at the same time they were promoted to lieutenant generals.

To be honest, their chances of competing for marshal are very low, not because of injustice or ability, but because of the limitations of the theater of operations, it is difficult for them to compete with the army commanders in the European theater.

Japan is almost at the mercy of others, how much merit can be achieved to kill such an opponent? Especially for this credit, there are more than ten people competing together, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Perhaps knowing his situation here, Andrei went to Warsaw on his way to discuss Ernst's willingness to give the two marshals of the Far Eastern Command, and how they would snatch it was their own business.

The number of marshals is actually an amnesty, which is actually an unfairness to the European theater, but Ernst also asked the army commanders of the European theater on this matter, and they did not express much objection.

The matter was settled, but when Andrei brought back the news, the generals, who had thought they would be excited, were surprisingly calm and angry.

This is an insult to us! We don't need anyone's pity, because we are soldiers of the Eastern European Alliance, and all the merit and merit we get only with our own hands!

The gift was directly rejected, but Ernst was not half annoyed, and even he was very happy, openly stating that this was the general of the Eastern European Alliance.

Although the places of the two marshals were returned, Ernst thought in his heart that he would let the Far Eastern Command get a marshal no matter what, so he openly stated that any commander of the army who took the lead in attacking the Japanese capital Edo would be directly promoted to the third rank.

What is the rank of Lian Jin 3? That's the marshal! It can be said that Ernst gave them this reward in a more modest way, and this time the generals did not refuse, but expressed their gratitude very excitedly.

The war in the Far East and in Europe is on the verge of breaking out!

At the same time, Hitler and the Japanese military leaders were very nervous, and although the United States was not in the midst of it, it was in the same mood as them. (To be continued.) )
