Eight hundred and seventy-six. Awakened Moder

"God, I arrested Baron Alexon, and I still can't believe that I really arrested Baron Alexon. I don't know how Baron Lundao will punish me, shoot me, hang me, but whatever Baron does to me, I will never regret it. ”

Captain Ludemann, SS 2nd Assault Group, 9th Hohenstuffen Division, Waffen-SS, December 1965.

Major Ludemann and his men are still afraid, and they want to know what kind of crime it is to arrest a German hero. They might actually be shot.

As for Martin, who was in charge of the baron, in addition to panic, there was indeed a sense of pride. He had been with the baron for so long, and even if he was punished, he would have the capital to brag about with others. In Germany, there are not many people who can stay with the baron.

Martin remembered for the rest of his life that the baron, when he was leaving with Marshal Modell, smiled at him slightly, and then whispered to him, "Thank you for your cigarettes." ”

The baron then asked Marshal Moder for three marks to fulfill his promise to Martin. But Marshal Moder touched all over his body, but he didn't even touch a mark. A marshal who commands battles on the front line, why should he carry money with him? This inevitably embarrassed Marshal Moder. In the end, he still took out three marks with a staff officer to help the marshal relieve the siege.

These three marks, Martin swore that no matter how difficult it was, he would never use it for the rest of his life......

......

"Modell, tell me about the German army in North Africa." In Moder's headquarters. Wang Weiyi asked impatiently.

Moder had already recovered from his agitation: "The entire North African Corps, under my direct command there were 6 divisions of the SS and 12 divisions of the Wehrmacht. 6,360 tanks and 3,500 aircraft of various types......"

Wang Weiyi was greatly surprised, he didn't expect the North African Army to still maintain such a strong force.

Moder commanded not only German troops, but also South African troops. South Africa is currently one of the few countries in North Africa that still pledges allegiance to Germany. In addition to this, there were considerable numbers of British troops and Commonwealth troops.

After the fall of London, the local Supreme Commander of the British and Commonwealth forces, General Monrita, rejected the Allied demands for surrender. Instead, it continued to strengthen cooperation with the German army, forming the "North African Alliance" led by the German army to fight against the powerful Allied forces.

The reason why the German army in North Africa was able to maintain such a strong force. Entirely thanks to Marshal Moder. As soon as the war broke out, Marshal Moder realized that the situation was not right, and immediately ordered the attack to be stopped and the defense was launched on the spot. Avoided greater losses for the Germans.

"With the current strength of the North African coalition forces. We are fully capable of conducting long-term operations. Marshal Moder said and pointed to several points on the map: "And here we still have a large number of troops holding on to the battle, and I am preparing to launch one or two major operations to completely train these places into a line." ”

At this time, Wang Weiyi was pleased, although the German army suffered a lot of damage because of Kloll, but under the command of such an excellent officer as Marshal Modell, the North African Army maintained such a strong force.

Not many people can do that. This also ensured that the Germans were capable of a great reversal......

"The situation in Manstein is similar to mine, if not better than mine." Marshal Moder then said: "Manstein and I have a tacit new idea. Opening up the transportation links between North Africa and the Middle East, connecting millions of German troops on a single front, had a huge deterrent to the Allies, and indirectly supported Berlin. Moreover, we had thought that once Berlin fell, at least we would continue to fight, and there would still be hope for Germany. But now that you're back, I don't think that worry exists. ”

"Thank you, Moder." Wang Weiyi said sincerely: "When I returned to Germany, I found that I was completely hopeless. But when I heard that you and Manstein were still fighting, hope burned in my heart. And now I find that the situation is even better than I imagined. So, why do you want to attack Aswan in a special way? ”

"I am going to use Aswan as a bait, and here I will use the method of repeatedly adding troops to attract the attention of the allies, mobilize the forces of the allies, and then launch counterattacks in several places at the same time to restore the connection between the troops. Marshal Moder was quick to state his intentions: "But I did not expect you to be here, and Aswan fell into our hands so quickly. ”

Wang Weiyi smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that he had unknowingly ruined Moder's plan.

Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing if the battle goes too well.

Probably seeing the baron's self-reproach, Moder hurriedly said: "But it doesn't matter, Aswan falls into our hands as soon as possible, and it can also attract the attention of the allies, in short, everything will go according to the plan." Judging by our previous aerial reconnaissance, a large number of enemies are moving towards the Aswan area. ”

"Modell, everything goes according to your vision." Wang Weiyi nodded.

"Marshal, our reconnaissance unit has brought the situation back." Chief of Staff Hitzley walked in: "It is confirmed that the Allies have newly established a powerful artillery position, which is mainly the responsibility of the French army. However, we need a commando team familiar with the local situation to capture nearby Morto and provide the most accurate guidance for artillery fire. ”

"What artillery position?" Wang Weiyi asked on the side.

"That's right." "Our intelligence indicates that the Allies are establishing a new artillery position, which will pose a great threat directly to us, so I have sent a large number of reconnaissance units and aircraft to find out what is going on there," Moder then explained. Fight to destroy this artillery position before it can play its role...... The closest to the artillery position is a South African army, presumably armed with two brigades, but we need to find a commando team that is familiar with the local situation and get in touch with the South African army. Accurate coordinates were not provided for our artillery fire. ”

"I think you already have someone in mind, right?" Wang Weiyi then asked.

Moder nodded: "Yes, part of this commando team will be composed of soldiers from the South African Army and the British Army, both of whom have been stationed there. I am familiar with the situation there, and the other half is made up of German troops, and I have chosen all the candidates, but I need your consent. ”

"With my consent?" Wang Weiyi didn't understand the meaning of Moder's words.

Moder couldn't help but laugh: "Because the most suitable person is to arrest your Major Ludeman." ”

Wang Weiyi couldn't help laughing: "I'm just trying to settle accounts with him, so it's okay, let him atone for his sins." General Hitzley. Go and bring Major Ludeman. Aha, I guess you should scare him. ”

Hitzley left command with a smile......

When his chief of staff left, Moder lowered his voice: "Baron." There is also a very important situation that I think you will be interested in. The reason why I am so anxious to take out this artillery position is because it poses a great threat to Egypt. ”

"Egypt? Didn't it surrender to the Americans? Wang Weiyi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Surrendered, surrendered on the day the war broke out." Moder carefully explained: "After the death of the absurd Sultan Farouk I of Egypt. His son Ahmed. Fouad succeeded to the position of sultan. When the German-American war broke out. Fouad immediately announced the surrender of Egypt, but was immediately attacked by German-British troops stationed in Cairo. Fouad escaped Cairo and was sheltered by American troops. The Sultan, on the other hand, had Farouk I's wife, Farida, regent. However, due to the ferocious offensive of the Allied forces, in order to avoid more casualties among the troops, the German-British-American forces withdrew from Cairo. We tried to persuade Farida to leave with us several times, but she refused. After the eventually, Fouad returned to Cairo under the protection of the Allies......"

Hear the name of Farida. Wang Weiyi couldn't help but smile knowingly. He probably remembered that ridiculous night with Farida more than twenty years ago.

Moder did not know what was going on: "Farida was subsequently deposed as regent and placed under house arrest. If it weren't for the fear that killing her would cause unrest, as long as Farida was dead. However, despite her house arrest, Farida still has a large following in Egypt, and she has even planned a major uprising throughout Egypt. I have ordered those German-British troops who had previously pushed out of Cairo to get ready. It's just that it is very difficult to keep such a large uprising secret, and the Allies have obviously discovered her intentions, and in addition to strengthening the local security, they have also set up this artillery position. ”

Wang Weiyi nodded, and now he completely understood.

"I figured it was time for me to take a trip to Cairo." Wang Weiyi said suddenly.

"Nope." Morder flatly refused: "Baron, I won't let you go on a risk. If anything happens to you here, I will become a sinner in Germany. ”

"Hey, Moder, what's wrong, are you scared?" Wang Weiyi smiled and said, "We have never been afraid, no matter how dangerous the situation is. Here, it is enough to be commanded by you, and the main purpose of my coming here ......"

At this point, Hitzley had brought in Major Ludemann, who was as pale as the face of the earth. The poor major was probably so frightened that he trembled at the sight of the two German field marshals.

"Rissho, Major!"

In the majestic voice of Field Marshal Ernst, Major Ludemann quickly straightened up.

"Major, you made a serious mistake." Wang Weiyi said coldly: "You dare to arrest a German marshal, if the North African Army loses the war because of your absurd behavior, then your crime will be unforgivable!" ”

Major Ludeman was extremely depressed: "Yes, Marshal, I beg you to shoot me!" ”

"Shot? It's not that easy. Wang Weiyi tried his best to resist the urge to laugh: "Now I give me a chance to atone for my sins, are you willing to seize it?" ”

"Of course, marshal, we are willing to die for you!" Major Ludemann hurriedly said loudly.

"Marshal Modell, give him orders."

When Marshal Moder told Major Ludemann about the mission, the major did not hesitate in the slightest: "I understand that within the allotted time, I will complete the task with great success." ”

"You're going to get support from the ground and from the air." Marshal Moder said lightly: "Then, let's go accurately now." ”

Major Ludemann saluted the two marshals. He hesitated and said, "Marshal Ernst, I am sorry for what I have done. ”

"No, you don't have to be sorry." A smile appeared on Wang Weiyi's face: "Wait until the war is over." You can proudly tell everybody, 'Hey, look, there's nothing great about this guy Ernst, I arrested him myself and locked him up.' Ah, the only thing I regret is not kicking him in the ass a few times......"

Major Ludeman smiled. He had never smiled so comfortably: "Marshal Ernst, it is the greatest honor of my life to meet you. I will fight for you and die for you! ”

Watching Major Ludemann depart under the leadership of Hitzley. Wang Weiyi sighed in his heart, what a great officer. It's just that when the war is over, how many of them will survive?

"Baron, what did you say you came here for?" Modell suddenly remembered what Ernst had said halfway through.

Wang Weiyi was silent for a while: "Go home." ”

"Home?" Modell didn't understand what Ernst meant.

"Go home!" Wang Weiyi repeated these two words repeatedly: "Rommel has gone home." Guderian has returned home. Right now. I'm going to take you and Manstein home. ”

Modell froze, and then suddenly he seemed to think of something: "Ah, by the way, they've all woken up." ”

Wang Weiyi smiled again: "Yes, my dear friends, they have all woken up, while they are asleep. To wake up. I need a new you, and Germany needs a new you. Moder. Would you rather go to sleep and wake up again? ”

"I do." Modell's answer was so firm: "I'm willing to do anything for you, just like I did when I was in Skeleton Commando." ”

Wang Weiyi looked at his friend deeply: "Then, give an order to your subordinates, you will have to rest for a few days due to physical reasons, and during this period, I will take command of the North African Army in your place." ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Moder picked up the phone.

When the order was given, Moder put down the phone: "Baron, I'm ready, now, what do you want me to do?" ”

"Take out the injections I once left for you."

The tube of injections was quickly sent north to Wang Weiyi's hands.

"You all still keep it, thank you for your trust in me."

Looking at the tube of needles in his hand, Wang Weiyi raised his head again: "Moder, I promise you, when you wake up again, you will be a brand new you1"

Then, he gently plunged the needle into Modell's neck, and pushed all the potions inside.

"Baron, all of us are the same, all these years have been waiting for your return......" Moder found that his consciousness was gradually blurring: "It's good that you're back, I'm really happy and happy......"

"I'm just as happy, my friend." Wang Weiyi hugged Moder: "Sleep, sleep, you will wake up soon." ”

Modell finally fell into a deep sleep......

"Xiao Ling, I need you to bring Moder back to the base." Wang Weiyi resumed communication with Xiao Ling: "How long will it take for Moder to wake up?" ”

"I'll pick up Moder to the base in three minutes......" Xiao Ling's answer came quickly: "Moder and Rommel are not in the same situation, he has not received the potion for a long time, so the time to wake up will be very short, and it is optimistic that it will take about a day or so to complete the transformation." ”

"Okay, as soon as possible, because his command is needed here."

"What about you? Didn't you take over his command? ”

"I'm going to Cairo." Wang Weiyi was glad that Moder was asleep, otherwise he would not have been able to go to Cairo so easily: "There is an old friend of mine waiting for me there." ”

"Queen Farida right? It's not so much that she's your old friend, it's better to say she's your old lover. Xiao Ling unceremoniously exposed Wang Weiyi: "However, I think at her age, you probably won't be interested." ”

Wang Weiyi is embarrassed, Xiaoling is always so faceless......

"Base is arriving." Fortunately, Xiao Ling's words resolved Wang Weiyi's embarrassment in time: "Rambler, after Moder was awakened, there was only one Manstein left, I think your entire puzzle should have been completed, right?" ”

"Yes, Manstein will be the last piece of the puzzle." Wang Weiyi said thoughtfully: "And it is a very important piece of the puzzle. When Manstein is also awakened, I think our counterattack will really come. ”

"The base has arrived, receiving the Moder medium."

Wang Weiyi glanced at Moder, who slept so sweetly, and whispered to him: "Go, my dear friend, you didn't sleep for long, and you didn't wait long. The North African Army needs you to come back as soon as possible, and Germany needs you to get back here as soon as possible. ”

Modell's body was slowly brought into the base...... The officers and soldiers of the North African Legion would never have imagined what was happening in the headquarters. They did not know that a more energetic and younger Marshal Moder would soon return.

And this will also bring an equally vibrant, equally young North African Legion, and even the whole of Germany.

This will be a new beginning for Germany! (To be continued......)
