Guderian returned to his armored command car, and didn't bother to clean up the snowflakes on his body, so he picked up the microphone and said.

"I'm Guderian."

"Your Excellency, Commander," Rommel said in the earpiece, "I don't think we will be able to get to the predetermined location within the time you have allotted. ”

"I know." As he spoke, Guderian turned his head to look outside the door of the armored command car, and his eyes swept over the German soldiers who were shouting trumpets trying to push the chariot out of the mud, "We also encountered the same problem on our side, the overall advance speed of the troops has slowed down, so, take your time Erwin, I can't catch up if you run fast, but it's very dangerous." ”

There was silence on the radio for a while, and there was only static noise in the loudspeaker.

Finally, Erwin Rommel's voice sounded again: "Understood, my side will keep an eye on the movement of the troops in the rear at any time." This damn weather, it hasn't been so hard to do when it rains before. ”

"yes, anyway, pay attention."

Guderian put down the microphone as he spoke, and let out a long sigh.

As Rommel said, the grasslands didn't become so muddy and difficult to walk even when it rained, but now that I think about it, it's probably because the rain will quickly seep into the underground water system.

Unlike snow, the snow will remain on the surface of the dirt and melt little by little, which makes the ground stay muddy all the time.

"Mr. Lin has even taken this into account." Guderian came to the hatch of the command car, looked at the white and black steppe outside, and sighed to himself, "This is the difference between a strategist and a tactician." ”

On the other side, Manstein was glaring at the map in his headquarters, and whenever a staff officer came running in with something like a telegram, Manstein immediately asked, "Where are you advancing now?" See the city of Rostov-on-Don? ”

But none of the confidential staff officers could give the answer Manstein had hoped for.

Eventually, Manstein slapped the map hard and complained in a resigned tone: "It's just a little snow!" As a result, the armored forces were like stuck in the quagmire! ”

At this time, no one needs to be reminded, Manstein also knows that he will not be able to take Rostov in October, and when winter really arrives and the ground is frozen, the armored forces can resume operations, but the Russian army has also reorganized its defense, and the battle that could have been easily won will turn into a tough battle. During the previous invasion of Ukraine, the resistance of the Russian troops made Manstein very clear to Manstein what the Russians could fight when they had cities to rely on.

By contrast, by the time the ground froze, the German troops, which had been fighting continuously for a long time, would have been greatly reduced in combat effectiveness due to fatigue, and any sensible commander would not continue to attack under such circumstances, and it would be right to rest for two to three months.

Manstein looked at the arrows on the map that had almost touched Rostock, and after a long silence, he finally shook his head.

"Order the forward troops to occupy the nearby fortifications of larger villages and towns, and wait for the follow-up troops to follow."

Manstein's fighting style of the Russian army in front of him has changed greatly compared with before, and he likes to carry out local counterattacks to delay the speed of the German army's actions, most likely because the Russian army has changed its commander, after more than two weeks of fighting, Manstein knows very well that the new Russian general is a capable guy, no wonder Lin Youde attached so much importance to the change of commander of the Russian army before.

Manstein came to the window, looked at the snow that was still falling outside the window, and whispered in his heart: "Mr. Lin's understanding of the Russian generals is really confusingly detailed, is it possible that Odin's Eye is powerful enough to provide intelligence that is enough to accurately judge the talent of the Russian generals?" ”

Manstein shook his head.

He instinctively felt that there were some things that it was better not to delve into them.

**

"Looks like you won the bet with Manstein."

Sissi's words made Lin Youde smile bitterly.

"I'd rather I lost the bet." As he spoke, he gently poked the belly of the fourth daughter in the cradle, and the sleeping little guy twisted his body, which was really cute.

Suddenly, the little guy opened his eyes and stared at Lin Youde for a few seconds, and then grabbed the edge of the cradle with his little hands and got up. Although her actions when she was first born gave people the illusion that she was born to stand, in fact she was not much stronger than the average baby, and all she could do was to stand against external objects.

For example, as now, grasping the edge of the basket with both hands and pressing half of the weight on the basket, the little one makes an almost standing motion. Although it is impossible for a human infant to be born with this kind of process, it is likely that a human infant who is already able to crawl will be able to perform similar movements.

The little one lay on the edge of the basket and turned his head to look at the room, then stretched out his chubby little hand to Sissi's chest.

"Ahh Yes! She makes a powerful cry, and in this way she clearly communicates her needs. Then she maintained the posture of reaching out her hand, and looked back at Lin Youde—she seemed to have understood that Lin Youde was the person with the highest authority here, and the person who was most likely to help her achieve her goal.

A baby who was only a few days old had this kind of IQ, and even if she didn't do a Shenji bloodline test, it was enough to conclude that she was not a normal human - but the little guy did the test anyway, after all, there were no obvious external characteristics, and the results of the test were basically expected: the purity of the little guy's bloodline was the same level as Nia.

The doctor in charge of the inspection was also surprised: it stands to reason that bloodlines of such purity are mostly accompanied by external characteristics, and Nia and Fox are normal, and it is strange that Sophie's bloodline is so pure but has no external characteristics.

Lin Youde did not tell Dr. Sù that Sophie had external characteristics - the sudden lightning and thunder that day was undoubtedly the "external characteristics" of the little one. But this statement is too, and ordinary people probably can't accept it, so Lin Youde didn't say it.

When Lin Youde thought about this, the little guy yelled at him a few more times, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with his father's neglect.

Sissi sighed: "What should I do?" I have big boobs, but I don't have any milk now......"

"You let her hold on for a while, maybe she'll give up."

"Okay...... "Sissi unbuttoned her shirt helplessly and approached the little one.

The little guy immediately leaned on his stomach and sucked hard, but he didn't suck anything for a long time, but made Sissi's face red like a ripe apple.

"Ahh The little guy left Sissi's chest, screamed twice and glanced back at Lin Youde, and then she climbed out of the basket with her hands and feet, and fell to the ground with a bone.

Sissi was going to pick her up, but was stopped by Lin Youde, who looked at the little guy who didn't mean to cry at all, and crawled on the ground with his hands and feet, with a smile on his face.

"Don't interfere with her, see what she's going to do." Lin Youde said.

Probably hearing Lin Youde's voice, the little guy looked up, and then continued to crawl on the ground, and soon she came to the edge of the big bed and began to climb up the carved lines of the bed legs. After a long struggle, the little one climbed into bed, then lifted the covers and got in.

Soon Lydia on the bed squirmed, and as she writhed, she said coquettishly in a hazy voice, "I hate it, dear...... Where...... Hmmm......"

Lydia muttered a few more words, then fell asleep again.

Lin Youde and Sissi glanced at each other, and then the two crept to the window together and gently lifted the quilt.

The little one was holding her mother's body and eating breakfast happily, and Lydia seemed to be unaware of this, only occasionally scratching the part of her hand that was carried forward.

Lin Youde put down the quilt and shrugged at Sissi.

Qian Qian also smiled, she lowered her voice and said to Lin Youde: "I'm going to check the defense status of Sanssouci Palace, you can also go to the restaurant quickly." ”

"Before I go for a check-up, I want to warn you that your breasts are still exposed."

Sissi was taken aback, only to realize that she had been looking at Sophie, completely forgetting to put away what had been exposed.

"You reminded me earlier!" Sissi complained, gave Lin Youde a punch in the shoulder, and then raised her hand to stuff her chest into her clothes.

Lin Youde grabbed her hand: "Wait a minute, let me see if there is really no milk, maybe it's just that the little guy's suction is not enough." ”

"Didn't you bite last night?" Sissi nudged Lin Youde's head, but she didn't really plan to stop Lin Youde, so Lin Youde finally succeeded.

"It's hot early in the morning, two."

Lydia didn't know when she opened her eyes, and looked at Sissi and Lin Youde with a smile.

Sissi's face was even redder than when Sophie had her breasts just now, and she could almost steam. She quickly tidied up her clothes, dropped a "I'm going to check" and hurriedly left the room.

Lin Youde and Lydia glanced at each other.

"It doesn't seem like the timing of the opening is very good." Lydia looked mischievous, but then she frowned slightly, "Strange, it feels like someone is biting me......"

She lifted the covers and looked inside.

"Ah......" Lydia's surprise almost immediately turned to gentleness, "it's the little one, really, you should wake me up when she's hungry, and put it under the covers like this, so I just dreamed of a very shy scene." ”

"Really? What embarrassing scene do you dream about? Lin Youde sat on the edge of the bed and asked softly.

"That's all there is anyway." Lydia stretched out her hand, pressed it on the back of Lin Youde's hand, and said in a voice full of tenderness and sweetness, "Honey, I feel like I'm almost recovered, and I should be able to ...... tonight."

"You, after giving birth, you will recover well."

"But......" Lydia said, "but ......"

Lin Youde bent his index finger and gently scraped Lydia's nose, then leaned down to kiss her lips.

After the long kiss, he whispered softly in Lydia's ear, "I don't remember that I saved such a lustful girl from the Holy See." ”

"Hey, hey...... That's how well I disguised myself. ”

"Anyway, give me a good recovery."

"Good~"

As soon as Lydia finished speaking, Sophie, who had eaten enough, came out of the bed, lay on the edge of the bed and thought about life for a while, and then turned back into the quilt.

Lin Youde instinctively felt that she suddenly found that it was cold outside, and then decided to return to the warm bed.

"I think he's going to be a very capable kid." Lydia whispered, a happy expression on her face.

"yes." Lin Youde responded with a smile.
