Although Countess Léonne did not help in this incident, her influence in Berlin cannot be overlooked.

And when she came to her manor, Wang Weiyi unexpectedly found the distinguished guests that Depsie said:

Field Marshal Hindenburg, First Class General Ludendorff, Lieutenant General von Bello, Lieutenant General von Galwitz, and even Crown Prince Wilhelm August!

It was simply a gathering of the most senior commanders of the German military! Wang Weiyi's rank of major looks so shabby here.

"Congratulations on clearing your slander and restoring your reputation." Field Marshal Hindenburg was still more amiable: "I have always been convinced that there are no traitors among the German soldiers. ”

The majestic First Class General Ludendorff also said: "Nikolai should have been thrown into hell, but unfortunately he could only be demoted to lieutenant colonel." There will always be an opportunity to clean him up in the future. ”

It seems that Nikolai's endless attacks on the heroes erected by the military have completely angered these senior military generals.

He glanced at Countess Leonie and noticed that she was smiling slightly at herself. Then the Countess said, "Well, I think you have to discuss something, and I'll go and prepare something for you." ”

After the countess had made an excuse to leave, First Admiral Ludendorff said: "The battle on the Somme, because of the early arrival of the rainy season, has made the attack of the soldiers extremely difficult, and I think that the British and French can no longer continue to attack, and the war on the Somme can be over." ”

Field Marshal Hindenburg said: "We have suffered 500,000 casualties, annihilated 800,000 enemy troops, and successfully disintegrated the enemy's strategic objectives, which is a great victory. British Prime Minister Asquith has resigned and Lloyd George has become the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and I think this is also a political victory for us."

Lloyd George came to power? Then Churchill also became a member of the cabinet, right? Wang Weiyi thought in his heart.

"Major Ernst, what do you think of this Battle of the Somme?" Field Marshal Hindenburg suddenly asked.

Wang Weiyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "In this general battle, it has been clearly proved that the tactics of implementing multiple surprise attacks to break through the positional defense in a narrow section of the front are not very effective, and it is very likely to consume a huge amount of troops. In addition, I think that tanks and other types of heavy equipment for positional breakthroughs, and countermeasures will appear more and more on the battlefield. But what worries me is that "

Seeing that Wang Weiyi wanted to speak and stopped, Hindenburg encouraged: "It doesn't matter, Major Ernst, you can say anything. ”

"Yes, Marshal." Wang Weiyi was bold: "Although we successfully thwarted the enemy's offensive, the enemy has made a great breakthrough on the southwest front, and I am worried that the dominance of the war will be transferred from our side to the enemy's side."

Several high-ranking generals fell silent, which was exactly what they feared.

It's just that Wang Weiyi said it

"Either way, we won." August felt the need to boost his morale at this time: "The enemy has lost 300,000 men more than me, their strength has been further struck, and the initiative of victory is still in our hands!" ”

"Yes!" Ludendorff raised his voice: "There is nothing to worry about, on the frontal battlefield, we will also organize several large attacks to completely break the enemy's determination to resist." However, according to the intelligence from the front, a large number of French troops are moving frequently on the Reims and Soissons lines, and we expect that by March or April next year at the latest, the French army will organize a spring offensive. Major Ernst von Bream. ”

"Yes, General!"

"Your outstanding performance in the Battle of the Somme has won you and the Germans great glory, and we are also very interested in some of your combat skills." Ludendorff stated the real purpose of calling him this time: "For example, you successfully broke through when you were surrounded by the British, such as the trench assault team you pioneered, so we have a task for you. ”

"Please, General."

Ludendorff paused and said, "We need you to organize a small detachment, led by you personally, to find out the information of the French. ”

"Yes, General." Wang Weiyi replied without the slightest hesitation.

In fact, you don't need to figure it out at all, you can just find Xiaoling and adjust the information yourself. However, Wang Weiyi soon realized that he was wrong.

The task is definitely not that simple

Ludendorff said this, and fell silent, and General von Bello, commander-in-chief of the First Army, immediately said: "Major Ernst, in addition to figuring out the information of the French army, there is another task for us to bring someone back."

General von Bello's stumbling appearance made Wang Weiyi very curious, who could alarm these German military leaders?

General von Bello adjusted his breathing: "Major Ernst, his name is von Kilok, baron. ”

Wang Weiyi is even more strange, listening to the name, this is a German aristocrat. Did he run away to France?

General von Bello's words quickly confirmed Wang Weiyi's suspicions: "He is the chief of staff of the First Army, a major general of the army. A few days ago, he mysteriously disappeared, and we got the conclusive information that he had defected. At the moment his man is in Reims and will soon be sent to Paris. Major Ernst, I think you know the gravity of the situation, right? ”

Wang Weiyi was taken aback, a German nobleman, the chief of staff of the major general, actually defected? This was simply a huge blow to the German army.

"He has a lot of high-level secret information in his hands, and we must not let him make it to Paris alive!" General von Bello's eyes showed very mixed emotions: "Your task is to bring him back at all costs, and if it really doesn't work, I approve you to kill him." Otherwise, our entire battlefield will no longer have any secrets to speak of in front of the enemy. ”

Wang Weiyi did not answer immediately.

Lance is now in the midst of a serious confrontation between France and Germany, and he is going deep into the tiger's den, right? Can you go directly to the heart of the enemy and bring a person back?

"I know it's a tough task, but you have to get it done." Field Marshal Hindenburg said solemnly at this time: "If we redeploy on the battlefield for the sake of one person, it will put us in a great passivity. Major Ernst, for the glory of Germany, you must complete this task. ”

"Yes, Marshal, I will do everything I can to accomplish this task!" Wang Weiyi replied slowly.
