Chapter 201: 201 People's Hearts

As soon as Accardo landed at the front-line military airfield of the German army on the Northern Front, he met his old acquaintance Student, the commander of the German paratroopers, who was full of anxiety, and before several heads of the Northern Front could come forward and salute the Führer, he rushed to stand in front of Accardo.

"Long live the Führer!" Student's actions were very displeased, but he looked eagerly at the Führer, who had appreciated him, and said no more.

"It seems that the commander-in-chief of our paratroopers has been very aggrieved these days. Accardo looked at the embarrassing atmosphere of the scene, raised the corners of his mouth and joked: "Is it because the food at the front line is really not appetizing? Or the army canteen didn't serve you soup?"

"Hehehe. Several army generals covered their mouths and laughed, but a few high-ranking generals were a little uncomfortable laughing, which made Accardo look at it. He didn't say anything more, just looked at Student.

"My Führer! I have something very important to report to you. Allow me to speak with you for a moment, and I am sure that with your understanding of paratroopers, I will understand my concerns. Stud said as he stared into Accardo's eyes.

"It looks like our paratrooper commander really has something important to talk to me about. Accardo motioned for everyone to move forward: "Anyway, it's okay, let's go to the pilot's quarters at the airport first, and borrow a room to talk about the problem of Student by the way." Let's hope our paratrooper commander didn't cause me any trouble. ”

On the way, Accardo also looked at the FW-190D fighter plane parked on the runway of the airport, chatted with the pilot of the plane, and then he took a few photos with the plane, and after satisfying Fanny's propaganda needs, he found a room to meet with General Studenter, the commander of the paratroopers who was anxious to see him.

"My Führer, if we use paratroopers in this way, we will lose this powerful class that you have created. "Student got straight to the point, and said this with one mouth.

His words made Accardo stunned for a moment, and then he asked: "Isn't it normal that all armies will be used one day since they were formed?

Without waiting for Student to continue speaking, Accardo frowned and asked, "I told you a lot about the paratroopers, and I tried my best to equip the paratroopers with the most suitable weapons and equipment, as well as the highest supply treatment...... Isn't this just to enable the paratroopers to accomplish the most difficult tasks under the most dangerous and harsh conditions? Don't be afraid of losses, but temper this paratrooper contingent with firm confidence!"

"My Führer. Student thought for a moment before speaking again: "You know the original battle plan: the paratroopers will be parachuted behind the Polish line to control the bridges and important communication routes, set off about an hour before the ground troops, and put their troops in an area about 40 kilometers behind enemy lines. The main purpose of this operation was to accumulate combat experience in the large-scale use of paratroopers and to provide various numbers for future operations. ”

"If you know, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Even if there is a loss of paratroopers, it is too much for you to feel so distressed. Accardo looked at Student with some displeasure.

"My Führer, the Wehrmacht is now using your painstakingly managed paratrooper unit as a super-infantry, and this behavior is, in my opinion, a serious waste. Steudent said.

"Super infantry?" Accardo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized something: "You and I will talk in detail, what the hell is going on." ”

"My Führer, this matter begins with the good news that the ground offensive against Poland is very smooth. "Stud knew that the Führer had guessed the probable idea of this, and seemed angry, so at least the Führer was behind him in this matter. So he hurriedly said: "Our army has advanced dozens of kilometers in one day, and it has penetrated the Polish border defense line faster than the previous marches of various countries. ”

"And then?" Accardo stared at Student with a grim expression.

Then the question arose. "The Army found that the large number of traditional infantry deployed on the border could not keep up with the pace of the armoured troops, and they felt that there were too few troops to accompany the tank attack," Student said. ”

"In the beginning, they mobilized trucks and armored vehicles to attack with tanks, and then they requisitioned civilian cars and racked their brains to use Poland's train and rail system. As he spoke, Student briefly explained with a nearby air force combat map: "Finally, the innovation of offensive means has made our land offensive a simple speed competition. The cavalry was regarded as a treasure by the army, because the cavalry could at least keep up with the tanks and take the prisoners back. ”

"Go on!" Accardo adjusted his mood and sighed.

"Then they remembered my paratroopers, who had begged me at first. "They said the infantry couldn't keep up with the tanks on the front, and some of the tanks were too fast to cover the infantry, so they asked me if I could do a partial paratrooper landing to cover the tanks and continue the attack," Student said. ”

He was a little excited when he said this: "I thought that this kind of coordinated attack between the arms was not a big deal, so I nodded and agreed. But who knew that because of the faster paratrooper cover, the army's tank units attacked more unscrupulously, so more gaps were created, and the paratroopers in my hands were all put into the battlefield in batches and turned into high-speed infantry to use. ”

Accardo suddenly found himself underestimating the minds of these German military experts, who had used paratroopers as elite infantry in their previous lives, but this time they had gone to the other extreme in a whimsical way.

He now felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and all the things that had gone out of control in the past days poured into his mind, making his head swell and painful. Although he had tried very hard to bring the advanced experience of his past life to the Germany of this world, he still found that he could not control the centrifugal force that all huge institutions had to face.

Although his ideas have been proven by history, and although many regulations have been proven accurate by later blood and bones, they still cannot be perfectly implemented in every corner of the empire. For one reason or another, his planned future has been disrupted again and again, and he has become a nondescript four-like.

Accardo wondered how those who traveled back in time had managed to put a vast empire at their fingertips. Those rotten communications that take more than ten days for what happened in a certain corner to reach the capital, and those rotten bureaucrats that are corrupt and corrupt can strangely become shrewd and powerful after the establishment of a certain supervisory yuan -- even recruits trained in a few months can repel a strong enemy......

It sounds like the world in the story is so beautiful, but the real world is cruel. As a matter of fact, the navy and the army sank a warship because of a face-saving dispute; the entanglement between the army and the paratroopers almost destroyed the paratrooper unit on which he would rely in the future; and the air force even left all branches of the army behind and launched the war against Poland one step ahead, disrupting the original plan beyond recognition in one fell swoop.

"Call them all in. Accardo told Student that even if he was angry, it was impossible for him to blame half of the entire Wehrmacht commanders. He can only change slowly, to change himself, and to change everyone who can keep up with him.

One by one, everyone walked into this small room, and Accardo and the others gathered before they spoke: "I have another use for the paratrooper unit, and the future use of this branch of the army must be discussed by the General Headquarters of the Wehrmacht and the General Staff, and then approved by me!"

"Yes, my Führer!" replied all in a loud voice. Seeing that Accardo didn't intend to get angry, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and a few of them even threw grateful glances at Student, who seemed to think that Student was careful when he spoke.

"Settle the Pomeranian corps in two days, and then encircle Poland, and I want to form international public opinion that our army will win. Accardo looked around at the army generals, and when he saw Rommel, his eyes softened slightly: "In addition, I will expand 10 armored divisions, transfer one-third of the existing armored troops, and then replenish new troops." We'll talk about the details of the weapons later. ”

"Führer, if you lose a third of your tanks and crew all at once, the combat effectiveness of the old tank division will be weakened, and this will have an adverse impact on future operations. Rommel glanced at his superior, the commander of Army Group E of the German army in the north, and then asked stiffly.

"Don't worry about this, in two days, more than half of the armored forces of the Eastern Front will be given a week's vacation, and then rush to the Western Front with the train to rest and replenish. Accardo walked over and patted Rommel on the shoulder: "I am very satisfied with your watch in Poland, and I hope you will continue to satisfy me." ”

"Yes, my Führer!" replied Rommel in a loud salute.

"Please remember that you are fighting valiantly here for the sake of the future of Germany! For the sake of a happier life for our sons and daughters! Therefore, please put your country first, and stop using your limited forces to balance and constrain each other!" Accardo said solemnly: "Think about how you came to be able to boast about the achievements of attacking dozens of kilometers a day? Think about who advocated the use of these weapons in the first place? Who finally decided on these tactics? Half a month ago, you had no confidence in this blitzkrieg, and some of you were trying to persuade me to abandon my plan of attack on Poland. ”

"Follow in my footsteps! Don't let me down too much!" Accardo said his last words and walked out of the small room.

"Long live Führer Accardo, Rudolph!" Rommel and Stuart stood upright, and saluted in the most standard posture.
