Manstein arrived at the hotel early in the morning.

It was probably from the innkeepers that he learned about Colonel Nikolai, and Manstein was more concerned.

It seems that Colonel Nikolai's popularity is indeed not very good, and Manstein's evaluation of him is also very low, and yesterday he had reminded Wang Weiyi to pay attention to this person, but at this time he still frowned and said: "You are a guest personally invited by His Majesty the Emperor, Nikolai actually dared to come to you directly to ask, he really didn't give the German military much face." ”

Wang Weiyi knew exactly what he meant by what he said.

In a way, he was the pride of the German military and the glory of the German soldiers, and Nikolai did this, which obviously humiliated the soldiers, especially young soldiers of aristocratic origin like Manstein.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later." Manstein's face softened slightly: "Lieutenant Ernst, let's go." ”

Berlin, Prussian Imperial Palace.

This magnificent imperial palace is located in the heart of Berlin. Wang Weiyi, Guo Yunfeng, and Adolf Hitler all entered the real palace for the first time.

Guo Yunfeng asked in a low voice, "Lieutenant, which is bigger than our Forbidden City?" ”

"I" Wang Weiyi almost said the words "we China", and quickly took it back: "There is no comparison between the Prussian Palace and the Forbidden City in China. ”

Guo Yunfeng stuck out his tongue: "Ah, lieutenant, have you seen the Forbidden City?" ”

"Nope." Wang Weiyi smiled: "I've just heard it said. ”

Listening to Lieutenant Ernst talking with the Chinese laborer, Manstein was a little curious: "Lieutenant, do you know Chinese?" ”

"I understand a little, and I can barely communicate." Wang Weiyi smiled bitterly.

There are already many people in the palace square, the vast majority of them are soldiers, generals abound, and the rank of lieutenant like Wang Weiyi is simply shabby here.

Think about yourself, these three people are also considered lucky.

Although Manstein was only a lieutenant, he was from a noble family. What about the three people in your own line? One is a lieutenant without any background, one is a corporal who is a herald, and the other is simply a laborer. Being able to be with so many German elites is entirely due to the effect of the "Somme Miracle".

"Lieutenant Ernst!"

With this voice, the handsome Richthofen walked in, he first called Wang Weiyi, and then said to Manstein: "Fritz, it turns out that you have come to pick up Lieutenant Ernst, ah, this is in line with the identity of Mr. Miracle." ”

These young people born in the aristocracy have an inexplicable and inextricable relationship with each other, and they are much stronger than Wang Weiyi in terms of personal relations.

"Yes, Manfred." Seeing his friend, Manstein's mood also became much happier: "What about Erwin? Didn't he come? ”

Richthofen shrugged: "He was transferred to Romania, and the order was given in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to make any preparations. ”

Rommel was transferred to Romania? Wang Weiyi was stunned at first, and then relieved. Counting the time, it was indeed time for him to be transferred to Romania to fight.

In this way, the matter of the tank lying to him will not be exposed for the time being, and there is no way for him to get in touch with his cousin in Romania.

I suddenly felt a little strange in my heart, judging from the things I knew before, Heinrich Elena was probably from a noble background, but Rommel was from a civilian background, and his father was just a middle school principal, so how could he have anything to do with the aristocracy?

According to German regulations, officers must be selected from military cadets, soldiers can not be directly promoted, then generally speaking, only the children of nobles can go to military schools to study, Rommel was born in a civilian, according to the original regulations, he can not go to the military academy to study, but when Rommel joined the army, just in time for the Second German Reich to begin to expand the armament war, the army needs a large number of officers. So this qualification was downgraded to a soldier of civilian origin like Rommel.

In 1911, Rommel began his military career as an officer in Danzig.

In Germany, where the hierarchy was very strict, Rommel and the aristocracy could not be equated.

"Ah, Ernst, Erwin told you as he left that he regretted not having time to say goodbye to you, but he hoped that you would soon meet again." Richthofen's words interrupted Wang Weiyi's train of thought: "Also, he said that your method of disobeying orders may be very effective, and maybe one day he will be able to use it on the battlefield." ”

Manstein was surprised: "Disobedience? ”

Is it any wonder that the future German genius commander was surprised, German servicemen always come first in obedience to orders, but now someone actually raised the issue of disobedience?

He asked about his doubts, and Wang Weiyi smiled: "I mean to make adjustments in time according to the situation on the battlefield, rather than really refusing the orders of the superiors." ”

It dawned on Manstein then: "Manfred, you are always so reckless, you can't even pass on a word. ”

Richthofen smiled indifferently.

It can be seen that the relationship between them is very good, and with the presence of Richthofen, the relationship between Wang Weiyi and Manstein has become closer.

Manstein is not a person who likes to put on a show, but he was born in a big aristocratic family since he was a child, and he will always have some aristocratic temperament, which is incompatible with a person from a civilian background like Wang Weiyi. Therefore, the previous conversation was somewhat estranged.

But now it's completely different, and Manstein even mixes a few jokes into the conversation, after all, everyone is young.

Guo Yunfeng and Adolf Hitler have been standing behind Wang Weiyi, and they can't intervene on such occasions.

"Hey, young people, what are you talking about there, can you tell us two old men?"

With this voice, a burly man with a thick mustache and a slightly thin German with the same mustache appeared in a dress.

Wang Weiyi felt that the two were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw them.

As soon as Richthofen and Manstein saw these two people, they immediately straightened up: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Your Excellency the First Quartermaster General!" Lieutenant Richthofen of the 2nd Hunting Squadron, Lieutenant Adjutant Manstein of the 2nd Guards Reserve Regiment, with the highest respect to you! ”

Wang Weiyi knew who the two Germans in front of him were:

Field Marshal and Chief of Staff of the German Empire: Paul von Hindenburg; First Class General of the Imperial German Army, First Quartermaster of the Supreme Command: Ludendorff!
