"General, the meeting is about to begin."

"yes, got it." Xia Ming nodded lightly when he heard the voice behind the door, took a deep breath and opened the door.

The beautiful female captain behind the door looked at the young general with admiration, and in her eyes, Xia Ming was now in extra spirit.

To tell the truth, she has rarely seen such energetic soldiers in the military department recently. It feels like this atmosphere has been shrouded in this indescribable atmosphere for a while now.

Everyone's hearts are heavy and their faces are heavy...

"Please lead the way." Xia Ming looked at her with a smile, he still had to be polite to the personnel working in the headquarters.

"Oh, good..."The female captain blushed and almost forgot her job...

When Xia Ming came to the conference room, most of the generals of the group army were already in place. Some of them were whispering and talking, some were sitting on the sidelines and smoking to themselves, and some were looking at the materials very seriously.

There are currently twelve people in total.

"Hello sir."

As soon as he came in, Xia Ming made a standard military salute, and the etiquette that should be done still has to be done. The people here are all his commanders, including his immediate superior, Lieutenant General Kurzbach, commander of the 51st Army.

He only sat in the penultimate position, which shows that these people are at least the leaders of an army.

Xia Ming is a little faceblind to Westerners, and he has been fighting on the front line, to be honest, he really can't call these people by name except for his boss.

For Xia Ming's arrival, these people are all prepared. Although Xia Ming was not very familiar with them, they were familiar with him.

Who made his name and photos appear in the major military newspapers every day? Nowadays, as a German, it is difficult not to know him, and he is a household name.

"Hello, General Xia Ming, I am very heartened by your heroic deeds, and I am very grateful for your outstanding contributions to the great cause of the empire."

At this moment, a general sitting in the front put down the information in his hand, and was the first to stand up and nodded slightly to Xia Ming.

The middle-aged general made a good impression on Xia Ming, and his words also made him feel a lot less stressed.

The middle-aged general made a good start, and everyone also sent a little polite words to Xia Ming.

For him as a combat hero, the generals will still give him enough respect. If the soldiers on the front line could have half of his heroic and good fighting, everyone would not have to be so worried now.

Soon, Xia Ming sat down beside General Kurzbach at his beckoning.

Now that General Paulus has not yet arrived in the conference room, everyone is naturally doing their own thing.

"Well, have you thought about the battle plan I asked you to prepare? I stump General Paulus will make a special point for you today, and don't let me down. ”

Before Xia Ming's ass was hot, Kurzbach whispered to him.

He is now also betting on Xia Ming, and he hopes that Xia Ming can win more resources for his 51st Army.

Now supplies are getting scarcer, and every general is fighting for these supplies.

"Well, I'm ready." Xia Ming casually put the prepared materials on the table, glanced at everyone at the conference table, and felt that it was really difficult to unify the thoughts of everyone present.

He said casually to Kurzbach: "Sir, can you tell me about these generals here?" As you know, this is the first time I've had the privilege of attending such a conference.

I didn't know how to answer when everyone greeted me just now, so it was a bit embarrassing. ”

"Hah, what do you care about them? You just have to do your own thing. However, there are a few people you should pay attention to, such as Lieutenant General Hube, who was the first to greet you just now, he is the commander of the 14th Panzer Corps and has always been the trump card of our Sixth Army. Basically, he is leading the main attacking tasks. He is currently in charge of fighting in the Northern Industrial Zone, and you previously worked as an advisor in his subordinate units. ”

"Oh..."Xia Ming gave Lieutenant General Hu Bei a deep look.

At this time, Hu Bei was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other meaningfully and then withdrew their gaze.

In the future, he will definitely have to fight the final decisive battle with the Soviet army in the industrial zone, and it is indispensable to cooperate with this Lieutenant General Hubei. If you have the opportunity, you should talk about it privately.

"And what else is Lieutenant General Merr, who is the commander of the 168th Division directly under the army group, and a close confidant of General Paulus. As young and promising as you are, you should have a good conversation with him, maybe you have a lot of common language. ”

Lieutenant General Kurzbach took a deep breath of his cigarette and winked at a young general opposite, and Xia Ming also glanced over. Unexpectedly, the general was also looking at him.

Unlike General Hubey's admiring eyes, he felt that this man looked at him as if he had thorns, and seemed to be full of hostility.

Xia Ming pursed his lips slightly and nodded at him with a smile.

Although he didn't know why this guy looked at him like this, he wouldn't fight-for-tat.

He now wants to unite all the forces that can unite.

You unleash your emotions on me inexplicably?? Never mind...

I still treat you as a good buddy, as long as I can actively participate in the war...

The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance.

Anyway, the battle is over, and everyone goes back to their own house to find their own mother..

“...”

Lieutenant General Mer originally wanted to give Xia Ming a little dismount, of course he respected Xia Ming's strength as a soldier, but why did he participate in the group army meeting? ?

Relying on his military exploits to suddenly rise so fast, he felt that it was really unconvincing.

Command and combat are two different things, and in his eyes, Xia Ming is at most the ability of an assault battalion commander. One should not become the commander of a division without adequate command training.

In short, he just saw that Xia Ming was a little unhappy.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that he obviously released hostility towards him, and he actually smiled so kindly.

Do you know your special identity and want to slap him??

What a combat hero, maybe it's just a guy who snorts and shoots horses.

Mer has secretly made up his mind to embarrass Xia Ming so much that he can't get off the stage for a while.

General Paulus seems to have great expectations for him, and will certainly appoint him in a moment.

He wanted to hear what this "battle hero" could say.

Today's situation is very dangerous, but it is not as simple as a certain soldier picking up a gun and rushing forward without a brain.

"Hube, how is the situation in your north now??" At this moment, a general put down the cigarette in his hand, looked at Lieutenant General Hubei opposite, and said in a deep voice.

Since Xia Ming came, the atmosphere seemed a little silent.

The general's words made everyone look at Hubei in unison.

Anyway, it's okay now, so let's just chat for a while.

“... We are currently resting and recuperating, and the situation is normal. Hube raised his head and said something that didn't hurt.

"Can't even you move now?" The general beside him spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

The Fourteenth Army has always been a bull and coax, and all resources are prioritized for supply. Usually take the most credit, and naturally have more red eyes.

When everything is going well, everyone has soup to drink. Nowadays, resources are becoming more and more scarce, and many troops do not have half of what they used to be, and food is about to become a problem. In addition, the battlefield was not going well, and trouble began to surface gradually.

In addition to strategic planning, I am afraid that this meeting will also have to resolve the imminent internal contradictions.

Hube frowned and put down the pen in his hand.

He looked at his colleague next to him very unhappily and said, "The 16th Division under your Eighth Army just lost the Mamayev post the day before yesterday, and you still have the face to complain to me?" Why don't you explain to everyone how exactly you did it? ”

"What did you say?? Don't you know that they are surrounded by enemy forces several times their size? We fought repeatedly for three days, and the 16th Division was completely annihilated! None of our bullets are replenished enough! ”

The general next to him slapped the table angrily and jumped up, looking like he was going to fight with Hubey.

“... We're just as desperate for supplies, and we're fighting a bloody battle, so don't discuss this with me. Hube looked at him with a frown, and finally his tone softened.

Soon, everyone began to argue about themselves.

In normal times, they can't pour bitter water in their own troops, but they hear the complaints of their subordinates every day. Now it's a good place for them to vent.

It seemed to have turned into a miserable meeting, and Xia Ming, who watched it, was also dumbfounded.

At this time, outside the door of the conference room, General Paulus had actually been here for a long time.

The reason why he didn't go in was to let everyone complain for a while.

As the commander of the Legionnaires, he knew better than anyone else the predicament he was facing.

Nowadays, there are more and more internal problems, in fact, it is better to say it than to hide it...
