Chapter 766 767 Talk about it carefully
"It's a great pleasure for you to come to the front and see how the fighting is going on in my army. My Führer. Field Marshal Rundstedt, while personally leading the way in front, briefed Accardo on the preparations for the attack of the troops.
His troops had already advanced 40 kilometers in front of Konev's 1st Guards Front, and it was clear that Konev's troops were no match for Army Group A under Rundstedt, and the entire line of defense was crumbling little by little.
Now he can be described as a real spring breeze, and the first marshal of the army Brauchitsch is different, he and Rommel two marshals are really fighting on the front line of the powerful marshal, in the Eastern Front, he marshal was ordered to command the Imperial Army A, under the command of more than 100,000 elite soldiers with amazing combat effectiveness.
Compared with Manstein's improvised and infantry-based M Army, the entire newly built Army Group A is more like a super-modern armored corps, with countless armored vehicles and countless armored vehicles, and it is also advancing close to the railway line.
Of course, Rundstedt's record is also fully worthy of the political strength of this army group. Within days of the attack, Army A's elite armoured units surrounded Baranovichi from both flanks and, in support of the Führer's outrage, took the Soviet Red Army-controlled transportation town.
After occupying the area, Army Group A attacked along the railway all the way to Stolbutsy, and included the Belarusian military town of Minsk in its attack, and his attack also led to a massive contraction of the troops on the Soviet front, and Zhukov replaced the elite 1st Konev Guards Front with a motley of troops.
"With the mine removal vehicles, the advance speed of our army has increased a lot, the casualties have also decreased, the air force has started to fight because of the better weather, our situation has never been so good, the Soviets are constantly retreating. Rundstedt walked forward, and the soldiers on the opposite side all stood upright, looking at their commander with admiration, and at the great Führer behind him.
"Long live the Führer!" a soldier blushed and stood up in front of Accardo, then stretched out his arm so that it hung on the face of the platoon commander beside him. After that, he glanced at his platoon commander embarrassedly, and then became more nervous and overwhelmed.
Accardo laughed, bypassing the two SS officers who were in charge of his security, and walked over to the soldier. He waved his hand to Anna and the other attachés behind him, and said gently, "Don't worry, don't be so nervous." If I am killed by the enemy among my soldiers, the country will never need me. ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at the soldier again, as well as the platoon commander beside him, and the rows of front-line officers and soldiers behind them: "You say, is that so? When I stand with you, will there be any danger?"
"I ...... My Führer. The platoon commander, who had almost been hit in the face by his own arm, was obviously also very excited, and after he stood upright, he replied with a stammer: "You...... What are you talking about...... Yes, we, we will die forever...... Defend to the death and keep you safe. ”
"Calm down, my valiant soldier, don't you dare to stand with me and say a few words if you dare to face the enemy's bullets directly?" Accardo's words made Rundstedt and everyone present laugh good-naturedly, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more lively.
Accardo stretched out his hands, helped the soldier straighten the Iron Cross of the Second Class on his chest, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, don't be too restrained, you have to protect not only my safety, but also the safety of the entire empire." ”
Then he turned back to Anna and Fanny, who were behind him, and said, "I'm just standing here and taking a picture of me and my soldiers." I was one of them in 1919, when my country was defeated and I had to take a path that I had never taken before. Now, I stand here, with the strongest million-strong army in the world, and in another twenty years, perhaps someone among these soldiers will take up my burden and lead the country forward. ”
A group of reporters swarmed up and pointed their spotlights at Accardo and the soldiers behind him, the lights flickered, and everyone was surprised to see that each of the soldiers behind Accardo straightened their chests.
Napoleon said that "a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier", and Accardo used his practical actions to awaken every soldier's desire to become a general. These soldiers may end up dying on the battlefield, or they may remain a platoon commander or battalion commander until the day they retire. But their blood is boiling at this moment, and they will be convinced in the future that they can do better, like their Führer, to do better.
"My Führer, it is my greatest pleasure to be able to work under you. Standing next to Accardo, Rundstedt posed for a photo with his hands behind his back and then whispered a compliment.
"Don't be too modest, in fact, I've always been glad, glad to have worked with you good commanders and these brave warriors. Accardo also raised his chin a little as required by the head of the image of the Propaganda Department, and then said to Rundstedt: "I was a little hasty when I started in the Netherlands, and it didn't affect the front, right?"
"My Führer, it turns out that you are in such a hurry to return to the front for this. Rest assured, every soldier of the Empire is on your side. Rundstedt said firmly.
Accardo glanced back at Rundstedt, then said, "Don't be so confident, my general. In fact, Dirk is also an army general, so he is not on my side. ”
"From the time he forgot about his loyalty to the Führer, he could no longer be considered a member of the Imperial Army. Rundstedt replied: "Anyone who is not loyal to the Führer is an army, and he is my personal enemy." ”
One of the most essential differences between Accardo and Hitler is that he hardly pointed fingers at his generals. He knew that in fact the German front-line commanders had good talents, and interfering with them would only have the opposite effect.
But he was also from a military background, and he had his own roots in the old Wehrmacht, or in the new Imperial Army, which was also an advantage that Hitler, who was born as a corporal, could not match. German aristocrats used to use "that corporal" when talking about Hitler, but when it came to Accardo, they had to reluctantly call "that general".
Even more intimate to the grassroots soldiers is that Accardo was born at the lowest level of soldiers, and he made meritorious contributions in the First World War, and even received awards such as the Iron Cross. This made him more popular with the majority of grassroots soldiers, and if the military had any action against Accardo, it was estimated that the grassroots soldiers would be the first to get agitated.
It was precisely because he had good habits and incomparable roots within the military that Hitler did not possess that Accardo trusted his army and did not interfere with it. The advantage of this was that he was immediately rewarded, and almost every one of the army's top generals was grateful to Accardo and maintained a good relationship with the Führer.
Rundstedt, Keitel, Modell, Rommel, Manstein, Klug, Guderian. Almost all of the generals trusted and worshipped Accardo as their own deity. They fought with weapons developed by Accardo, which proved to be the best in the world, and they always succeeded in winning afterwards by arranging their tactics according to the overall strategy drawn up by Accardo. So they stood firmly by Accardo's side, supporting the Führer as if they were God.
When the photo was over, Accardo smiled and waved to the soldiers, only to receive a dense forest-like German salute. The soldiers shouted Accardo's name, and it was clear from their eyes that they were willing to shed blood for the head of the Empire, they were willing to die for the head of the Empire, and they were willing to fight until the last moment for the head of the Empire.
"Accardo, my Führer. I like you more and more now, what do you think I should do?" Fanny wore a fashionable sweater and coat, and her face was flushed with a hint of rosy as she was busy. She walked up to Accardo's side and whispered in a charming tone, "How did you come up with the idea when you were in Holland?
Accardo wanted to tell this bewitching woman, who was as enchanting as a ripe forbidden fruit, that in the world he was originally in, public opinion was manipulated more professionally than it is now, and it was much more crazy. There are ugly women who jump out and have the opportunity to make a name for themselves, and there are also cases of adding fuel to the fire and expanding a trivial matter countless times to deceive the eyeballs.
However, the Führer was still very intoxicated with the feeling of a beautiful woman adoring him, and he smiled and bragged to his propaganda minister, his face did not change color and his heart did not accelerate: "In fact, I have many other propaganda methods, and I will tell you again when we have dinner together in the evening." ”
"I was so busy at dinner that I don't think I have time to listen to your high opinion on the development of media. Fanny glanced at Anna with some regret, then suddenly leaned over to Accardo and added in a small voice, "But I have nothing to do after 8 o'clock in the evening, why don't I go to your room and talk to me about the development of the media?"
Today's two watches are over, and everyone is waiting.
