The middle of the street had been blocked by two armoured vehicles, and the German soldiers in the armoured vehicles were on standby, and it seemed that the Germans occupying Poland had blocked the Polish bank, which made Rommel worry about his plundering.

"Stop, you belong to that unit, martial law is here, please leave immediately."

A Wehrmacht captain waved a convoy led by Rommel with a sign that read "stop" in his hand. The captain's words were clear, they had been ordered that no one should pass through the street.

Martial law issued by Rundstedt could not have been enforced in the blink of an eye, the only reason being that the street had been under martial law at the beginning of the occupation. There is no doubt that the first places to occupy the capital of a country must be government departments, banks, and telecommunications buildings.

In this case, if Rommel wants to control this street, he can only pull up the tiger skin as a banner, and his identity and Rundstedt's orders may be able to help him complete this task, or maybe not, it depends on whether Rundstedt gives Rommel this opportunity and face.

Rommel was riding in a tank No. 3 at this time, Rommel was a civilian, and his characteristic of leading troops was to stay with his soldiers at all times.

When the tank was stopped, Rommel took off the goggles he was wearing and shouted directly at the captain's sentry:

"I am Colonel Rommel, commander of the Führer's base guard, and now I am ordered to take over here, and the captain asks you to leave immediately with your men."

The captain saw Rommel's rank clearly at this time, and also heard the position clearly, and was immediately frightened, thinking about it, the colonel in front of him was actually the commander of the guard of the Führer's base camp.

But the captain was ordered to guard the street and not let anyone enter the street, including the German troops, but the commander of the Führer's base guard personally came to take over the place, and the captain began to be in a dilemma.

Although the captain was strict and stubborn, he also knew that he could not afford to offend the colonel in front of him:

"Report to Mr. Colonel, the order given to me by the headquarters is to stay here, but we don't have the relevant order to retreat! You see...... You see......"

German soldiers are like this, the orders of their superiors will be fulfilled to the letter, and Rommel is not his direct superior, and of course he cannot give orders to others, but Rommel has a way:

"So be it! Captain, tell your superiors to contact the commander of Army Group South directly, and say that the commander of the base camp guard, Colonel Rommel, wants to search this street, and you will immediately get the relevant orders. ”

"Please Mr. Colonel......

The captain immediately turned around and went to the sentry box to call and communicate with his superiors, whether Rommel can take over this street really depends on Rundstedt's decision, although Rommel has the right to search any suspicious place in Warsaw, if Rundstedt does not sell it, Rommel has no choice, can he go to Hitler to complain, don't talk nonsense, Rommel has bad intentions, he dares to go to Hitler to complain, not to mention that he is a general, it is not interesting to ask for himself, Rommel, the traverser, wouldn't do such a stupid thing!

After about twenty minutes, the captain finally came out of the booth, and the first thing he said was to his men:

"All assembled, ready to retreat......"

After the captain had given the order, he came to Rommel's tank, and after giving Rommel a military salute, he reported to Rommel:

"Mr. Colonel, the command has ordered me to hand over the defense of this place to you, please accept it."

Rommel also gave the captain a military salute in return:

"Okay, Captain."

After a while, the captain left the post with dozens of Wehrmacht, and Rommel's men immediately took over the place, and on the other side of the street, of course, there were also checkpoints, which were all garrisoned by the Wehrmacht led by the captain just now, so the checkpoint at the other end of the street was also taken over by Rommel.

After Rommel took over the streets outside the Central Bank of Warsaw, he first placed his twelve tanks at the checkpoints at both ends, and there were several patrols on the streets, not even flies would want to fly in.

When everything was arranged, Rommel personally entered the Central Bank building with a platoon of guards, which Rommel brought with him were all loyal subordinates, otherwise they would not have been selected by Rommel to be his guards.

Rommel entered the platoon of guards of the Central Bank of Poland, carrying with him a special piece of equipment - hydroxide flame guns, which were the equipment of the tank repair detachment of the Führer's base camp, and were now brought to the Central Bank by Rommel.

Rommel searched the Central Bank and carried a hydroxide flame gun, which was an artifact for cutting steel plates, and it was self-evident what Rommel wanted to do.

It is said that when Rundstedt learned in his office that Rommel was going to search the Polish bank, he was surprised for a long time and couldn't close his mouth. Although Rundstedt knew that the Germans had a tradition of looting wealth in the occupied territories, Colonel Rommel's appearance was also ugly, and his appetite was terrifying, it was the central bank of Poland, and even Rundstedt did not dare to touch the Central Bank of Poland easily, simply put, the wealth in the Central Bank of Poland was to be handed over to the German treasury.

But this Rommel is simply bold, and the wealth that has been allocated to the German treasury dares to do it, and Rundstedt really has a hard idea of how to deal with the whole thing, so he immediately asked his chief of staff, Manstein, to discuss countermeasures. (The Chief of the General Staff of Army Group South was none other than Lieutenant General Manstein-. ）

In the office, Rundstedt and Manstein began to discuss in secret:

Rundstedt was the first to ask Manstein:

"Chief of Staff, Commander of the Führer's Base Guard, Rommel's kid, is now actually going to search the Central Bank of Poland, this kid obviously wants to attack the Bank of Poland, but the Bank of Poland is one of the targets of the Ministry of Defense ordered to protect it alone, what do you say we should do.

Manstein was one of the three famous German generals of World War II, and the three famous generals were Manstein, Rommel, and Guderian.

Manstein had a good relationship with both Rommel and Guderian, which is related to Manstein's tenure, since 1936, he was the chief of military affairs of the First General Department of the General Staff, and he often discussed the theory of blitzkrieg with the commander of the Führer's Guard, Rommel, and the chief of the armored forces, Guderian.

It is true that Blitzkrieg was invented by Guderian, but both Manstein and Rommel gave Guderian a lot of reasonable advice, and the three of them often discussed the use of armored troops in blitzkrieg together.

To put it simply, Manstein and Rommel are hardcore brothers, but Manstein suddenly learned the news of this "bolt from the blue" from his boss, and he was stunned for two or three minutes.
