One hundred and sixty-two. General Gedel

Three trucks, after merging up the three tanks that were already waiting outside Berlin, quietly left Berlin in the dark.

In conjunction with this mission, the whole of Berlin has been put under early martial law, and this time the level of martial law has exceeded any previous one.

Wang Weiyi sat on the truck at the front, and it was unimaginable that his car actually loaded a full five million Reichsmarks.

Astronomical

The news was enough to make any force go crazy.

However, Wang Weiyi did not care about the amount of money, but wondered whether it was worth it for Wilhelm II to keep throwing so much money for the Bolsheviks, just to cultivate the enemy's strength? It is important to know that Germany itself is not financially well-off.

But that's not something he should be thinking about

The battlefield on the Eastern Front has been calm for many times, and the Russians did not continue to fight major battles after the last defeat, and the two sides only hoarded heavy forces here and confronted each other.

The Tsar may have had some headaches, as he had to face constant defeats on the battlefield and a wave of doubts, opposition, and strikes from within the country.

Now maintaining the stability of the front line and not starting a major war as much as possible is what he wants.

The same was true of the Germans, who had to concentrate their energies on the Western Front, and on the Eastern Front, as long as they could maintain a delicate balance with the Russians

The commander of the front, von . General Gedel knew very well what the top brass meant, and that was why. He always tried to keep his soldiers restrained and calm.

However, this time there was something unusual, and he received an order to organize more than three divisions. Onslaught against the Russians, used to cover the passage of a group of German soldiers "on a special mission" through the enemy blockade.

General Gedel did not know what the "special mission" of the group of German soldiers was, but the stern officer knew one thing very well:

Don't say more about things you shouldn't ask.

And when he realized that the person standing in front of him was actually Major Ernst, the "Skeleton Baron", General Gedel was still a little surprised, what task actually used this star-level officer?

When he saw the three trucks full of goods, General Gerdel seemed to vaguely guess something

"Major Ernst. Our troops are ready to attack, when are you going to pass? General Gedel calmed his mind.

"General Gedel. Thank you for your support. Wang Weiyi maintained the respect of his subordinates for his superiors: "I want to attack at 5 o'clock and attack until dark, and my team and I can start to pass." ”

"As you wish, Major Ernst." General Gedel pointed to the front line: "It's been quiet here for too long."

Wang Weiyi didn't understand what it meant.

General Gedel led him forward: "We have had countless battles here. Many died. I have an adjutant. Twenty-nine years old, during the summer offensive, he was in charge of commanding a unit to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, and he succeeded, but when he was carried back, he was covered with bullet holes, you know, and he had a fiancée, last month. His fiancée is still here, but I can't tell her the truth. I can only lie to her and say that my adjutant is on a special mission"

"I've been through this kind of scene too." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "I also saw my comrades-in-arms die in front of me with my own eyes, but I can't do anything."

"We're all military, so we all have the deepest experience." There is some sadness in the words of General Gedel: "Bloodshed, death, is an integral part of the battlefield, the army sacrifices for the purpose of the country, and the soldiers shed blood for the purpose of the country." The war will always stop, but these dead soldiers will never be remembered again. Major Ernst, do you know what I'm saying about this? ”

He stopped his steps and stared ahead:

"During the summer offensive, I did everything I could, and I won two beautiful victories, we captured two generals of the enemy, the Russians failed, I thought that the war would be calm for a long time, but now I realize that I was wrong, I guess, your special mission this time is for those Bolsheviks, right?"

Wang Weiyi knew that there were some things that could not be concealed, and he neither admitted nor denied it.

General Gedel sighed: "All along, there have been many Bolsheviks, under the cover of those intelligence officers, who will pass by us, every time I have personally come forward, and on a few occasions I even sent soldiers to meet the Russians I am a soldier, there are some things I have never understood, for the sake of our country, I can sacrifice, and so can the soldiers, because that is our duty, but why should I let my soldiers shed blood for others?" The Tsar, or the Bolsheviks, or any other powerful force, that's just a matter for the Russians! ”

General Gerdel may have said something radical, but it was not necessarily unreasonable.

"General Gedel, in 1939 for his opposition to Adolf. Hitler's policies and dismissal, after which he became an anti-war activist and died of illness in 1942"

Xiao Ling's information was quickly passed on to Wang Weiyi.

Now that Wang Weiyi knows, perhaps General Gedel's anti-war ideas have been planted at this time, as a high-ranking officer who has been commanding battles on the front line for a long time, long-term battles will only give him two different thoughts:

One becomes a fanatical militant and completely numb to everything that happens in the war, and the other becomes disgusted with war and becomes an extreme anti-war element!

And General Gerdel is clearly leaning towards the latter possibility

Thinking of this, Wang Weiyi couldn't help but glance at Hitler in the distance, who would have thought that in the future, this unknown corporal would decide the fate of countless German generals?

"Major, are you going to help the Bolsheviks?"

General Gedel's words interrupted Wang Weiyi's train of thought: "General, I can't say my mission"

"Really?" Wang Weiyi's answer seemed to have been expected by General Gedel: "You don't have to answer, I have already said that I have dealt too much with the Bolsheviks, and you brought three trucks and so many supplies this time, and the purpose is nothing more than to give them to those people." Germany is also short of supplies, and now we are going to finance them? Who came up with this damn idea? ”

He guessed not wrong at all, and could see that he was an upright general, and could not hide anything in his heart, and if this word reached the ears of Wilhelm II, the general would have some trouble.

"General, I don't advise you to say such things." Wang Weiyi hesitated: "Before leaving, I heard people say that the enemy of our enemy is our friend, and helping them is equivalent to helping ourselves."

General Gedel also knew that the other party was doing his own good: "Thank you for your kindness, Major, but I don't care. The enemy of the enemy? Wouldn't the enemy turn against it? What's in there? Weapons? Ammunition? Hell, why don't you leave these things for us to use? Those high-level executives who don't know what they are thinking in their minds will regret their decision one day sooner or later! ”

Wang Weiyi didn't know if what he said was right or wrong.

From this point of view, Wilhelm II's decision was correct, and it was true that Germany's strong financial support for the Bolsheviks had allowed Germany to secure peace on the Eastern Front for a long time, and that it was possible to draw forces from the Eastern Front to reinforce the Western Front. But the future turned out to be a complete departure from what the Germans had envisioned.

The Germans, erected for themselves a most formidable enemy

But Wang Weiyi could not change this, and even without the support of Germany, the Bolsheviks would have succeeded by other means, perhaps only sooner or later.

"Forget it, don't talk about these unpleasant things." Gedel lifted himself up from his depression: "Tell me about your mission. Three elite divisions were fully prepared, and opposite us were six divisions of the Russians. Don't worry, Major Ernst, the Russian army is poorly armed and demoralized, many of them, including officers, have no intention of fighting, and with a single charge we can break through their lines. But once I got through that position, I couldn't do anything about the rest. ”

"Thank you very much, General." Wang Weiyi expressed his gratitude: "In three days, please continue to launch an offensive, and we will come back at that time." ”

General Gedle nodded, but he did not know where Major Hindernst's courage and self-confidence came from. Did he really think that he would be able to run amok in the territory of the Russians? Did he really think he was really invincible?

Of course, this is not something that General Gedel can manage.

"Major, you're all set." Guderian walked over: "As soon as the attack begins, the tanks will be the first to attack, and together with the German troops, we will tear a wide gap in the position to cover our pass." ”

"Let the soldiers prepare!" Wang Weiyi nodded, and then saluted General Gedel: "Thank you again for your assistance, General, I will report to my superiors when the mission is over." Of course, this does not include those words of yours, and I hope that you will not say them again in the future, otherwise I am afraid of causing you unnecessary trouble. ”

"Thank you, Major, but the integrity of a German officer tells me that I must say what is in my heart." (To be continued.) )
