Forty-five. Manstein

An invitation from His Majesty the Emperor!

When the soldiers of the third company heard the news, everyone exuded great envy and glory.

This was a glory not only for Lieutenant Ernst Braham, but for the entire Third Company. And what makes people even more proud is that the invitation of His Majesty the Emperor was actually sent by a general in person.

What could be more exciting?

Everyone was expecting the lieutenant to go to Berlin with him, after all, the vast majority of people would never see His Majesty the Emperor in their lifetime.

Wang Weiyi thought about it carefully and thought again, Guo Yunfeng would definitely take it, and in the battle with the British, it was by relying on the sacrifice of his own compatriot to forget his life and death that he could get out of danger.

And what about one more person?

Wang Weiyi's gaze fell on one person:

Adolf hitler!

Adolf Hitler never dreamed that he would have such great glory, and when he heard Lieutenant Ernst call his name, he could not help but tremble.

O God, merciful God! What did I do to get you so favored?

No, in addition to God, Lieutenant Ernst! Hitler, who already had infinite respect and gratitude for Lieutenant Ernst, had another deep attachment at this time.

The soldiers of the 3rd Company were extremely envious of Hitler, and the soldiers who had a good relationship with Hitler, such as Bonclera, Steck, and Sean, were all joking with Hitler, so that he was so frightened that he peed his pants when he saw His Majesty the Emperor.

And Steven, who had some contradictions with Hitler, said some sour things, but Hitler at this time did not care about this Jew at all

Time was already tight, Wang Weiyi handed over the task of commanding the third company to Sergeant Hall, and he took Guo Yunfeng and Hitler on the trip to Berlin.

Xiao Ling told Wang Weiyi some etiquette that should be paid attention to, but Wang Weiyi didn't listen to anything. I can't remember so many cumbersome etiquette.

When I met Wilhelm II, what should I do or what should I think about?

Guo Yunfeng remained silent, but Hitler kept asking this and that excitedly, constantly asking Wang Weiyi what kind of person his majesty the Holy Emperor was, as if Wang Weiyi and Wilhelm II were old acquaintances

When you finally enter Berlin, when you come to the Brandenburg Gate, you will be greeted by the famous statue of the goddess with four bronze horses. This statue, which was erected more than 100 years ago, still looks so impressive.

Stayed in the hotel, and now waiting for someone to come and "summon".

Prince Joachim's twenty-sixth birthday was a great event for Berlin, which, combined with the victory of the Somme counteroffensive, made the whole of Berlin look jubilant.

After waiting in the hotel for a day, a young officer knocked on the door of Wang Weiyi's hotel room: "Are you Lieutenant Ernst Braim?" ”

"Yes, it's me." I don't know what Lu Dao is about, but the first time I saw this officer, Wang Weiyi, had some good feelings about him.

"I was sent by His Majesty the Emperor." The young officer said politely: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to you, and specially asked me to change you to another place." Ah, forget about myself, I just returned from Belgium, I am Fritz Erich von Manstein, lieutenant adjutant of the 2nd Guards Reserve Regiment. ”

Who? Manstein? Manstein, the king of strategy?

Wang Weiyi gasped, he never thought that he would be here, and meet Manstein under such circumstances.

The background of this future German field marshal was not inferior to that of Rommel and Richthofen, but even more dazzling.

He was the tenth child of a Prussian nobleman, an artillery general, Edward von Livinsky, and Helen von Shipling. Hedwig von Shipling, the youngest sister of Erich's mother, Helen, married infantry general Georg von Manstein. The couple unfortunately had no children, so they decided to pass on the child to his uncle before they were born.

As soon as Erich was born, Livinsky sent a telegram to the elder Manstein: "You have a healthy child today. Mother and child are safe. Congratulations. ”

Erich von Manstein was not only a Prussian general in his father, but also in his two grandfathers and his uncle; The famous Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg was also his uncle.

Such a family background is dazzling at first glance.

Well, I met Adolf Hitler, I met Erwin Rommel, and now I met Fritz von Manstein, who will I meet next?

Field Marshal Hindenburg? Ludendorff? Think about it, it's really possible.

Wang Weiyi calmed down his emotions: "Lieutenant Manstein, it's a great honor to meet you, will we leave now?" ”

"Yes, Lieutenant Ernst Braeme." Manstein was very polite and very cultured. Then two soldiers were called in and told to take Lieutenant Ernst's luggage with them.

There were two carriages parked at the door, and Manstein invited Adolf Hitler and Guo Yunfeng to get into the carriage in front, and then very politely invited Wang Weiyi to get into the carriage behind.

Wang Weiyi, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't know what to say, but after a while, Manstein spoke first: "Lieutenant Ernst, on the way back from Belgium, I heard about the miracle you have created, which surprised me very much. How exactly do you do that? ”

Wang Weiyi thought for a moment and replied simply: "Courage and loyalty, plus a little luck." ”

A smile appeared on Manstein's lips, and he knew that Lieutenant Daunst had not answered everything, but it was enough: "Yes, bravery and loyalty can overcome all difficulties, and if the lucky angel is on your side, then the miracle will be able to explain it." ”

As he spoke, he was silent: "Lieutenant Ernst, we are all soldiers, so I have to remind you of one thing, Colonel Nikolai of the Military Intelligence Directorate also came to Berlin to attend the banquet of His Majesty the Emperor. But I heard from a friend of mine that it seems that Colonel Nikolai is not very friendly to you, and Heinrich Elena seems to be under a lot of pressure. ”

Nikolai, that damned Nikolai again! Where did you provoke him?

Suddenly felt a little strange, although he knew that Heinrich Elena was also a person with a background, but he actually recognized Rommel, Richthofen, and Manstein, what kind of origin did she have?

Rommel's cousin? Is it really that simple?
