Chapter 131
Kong Tingxun returned to the castle exhausted and threw his body directly into the sofa.
"This kind of thing, just let your subordinates do it, why do it yourself." Winter sat in his chair and personally poured a glass of whiskey for Kong Tingxun.
Sitting on the other side of the sofa was the trusted Chief of the General Staff, Richthofen was astonished.
It was the first time he had seen Duke Winter pour wine for someone.
He had to re-examine this great Ming man, but he didn't expect that the guy with the eastern face would occupy such an important position in Duke Winter's heart.
"It's not about killing a person, they have a well-established organizational structure. Even, secretly organized an armed force called the stormtroopers.
A lot of people have been arrested and a lot of people have been interrogated today.
However, it will take some time to completely destroy their organizational structure, as well as those fanatical stormtroopers. ”
"Oh!" Duke Winter looked at Kong Tingxun in surprise, but it was normal to think that Adolf already had more than 100,000 followers, a perfect organizational structure and paramilitary forces.
Even the wealthy Hebrew merchants hired a lot of bodyguards.
Some people have as many bodyguards as there is almost a battalion.
Prussia was a martial artist, and imperial law did not prohibit people from owning weapons.
In recent years, there have been frequent wars, and weapons have proliferated to an alarming level.
In industrially developed Bavaria, almost every house has a gun.
The difference is between the old gun and the new gun.
"A civil society with paramilitary forces, it's enough for them to go to the gallows."
Richthofen said with a cold face.
He was a standard old soldier who belonged to the Junker aristocracy.
For hundreds of years, everyone in his family was a soldier.
In his head, the empire allowed only one armed force.
Moreover, this armed force must listen to him. The dispatch of the new Chief of the General Staff!
Now, there is a paramilitary organization that is not under its control.
How could he stand it!
"Yes! Yes!
Adolf still needs to be put on trial, and I'm not a killer.
Adolf needs to be sentenced to death for subversion of the state.
His subordinates too, and my men are sorting out confessions and turning the case into an ironclad case. ”
Kong Tingxun took a sip of whiskey tiredly, and the strong smell of wine made him frown.
"You didn't kill him?" Duke Winter was a little surprised.
"I said, we're not killers. We have the power in our hands, and we need to kill people through legal means.
In our Ming Dynasty, this is called Yangmou.
After all, all people in a country must act within the framework of the law. ”
Duke Winter looked at Kong Tingxun silently, but he didn't expect that this Ming man was not stupid.
originally wanted to let him take the blame, but Kong Tingxun wanted to send Adolf to court and try him for subversion of the state.
Well, it is the law that kills Adolf.
In the future, even if you find someone to take the blame, it can only be the law.
Duke Winter had to take a fresh look at this great man, perhaps underestimating him.
This kid is not bad at politics.
"Hmmm!
Mr. Hans is right when he says that the state, like the army, operates under the law.
Lord Duke, I also think it's better to have a public trial of that guy. Richthofen spoke out in support of Kong Tingxun.
Winter glanced back at the idiot and didn't speak.
It was a long moment before Winter nodded.
"That's it, it's up to you.
The case must be handled as an ironclad case!
Tomorrow, I'm going to Berlin.
Frederick's fellow will also go to Berlin, where the Reich will hold a meeting at the highest level to discuss the latest battle plan. ”
"Do you need me to come with you?"
"No, you don't! If you stay in Munich, then this matter will be done.
There are legal matters, you go to Judge Hult and he will help you. ”
Winter took a sip of whiskey.
His attention is now not on the little Adolf, all he wants to do is to kill Frederick and become the new Emperor.
Before he could become the new emperor, he needed a victory to prove that he could lead the Prussians to victory.
As Adolf said, the country needs a visionary leader, a man of courage.
A man who has the courage to roll the bones of his enemies into dust.
He's coming!
He lives in our time!
He would lead the Germans to a glorious victory.
Winter even had an automatic brain in his head that made up Adolf's movements and body language at that time.
It's inspiring, it's emotional.
He wanted to do the same, and in order to feel the admiration of the people, he changed his itinerary and asked his subordinates to arrange a street speech.
The support of the nobles is certainly needed, but the support of the common people is equally important.
"Don't worry, I'll get things done.
I want to be safe in Berlin, after all, it is the territory of the Prussians. Kong Tingxun kindly reminded Duke Winter.
When Prussia was still the Duchy of Prussia, Berlin was the capital of Prussia.
Frederick's prestige was unrivalled in Berlin.
"It doesn't matter, the Wehrmacht is ready.
In the early stage, two divisions were already deployed in Berlin, and the Duke's guard regiment, I let Rommel lead it.
That's a nice lad, shrewd and capable, and ...... Not afraid of the powerful.
Let him be in charge of the Duke's guards, and it will be foolproof. ”
Richthofen took the conversation, and it was his business.
Now that Duke Winter is his biggest backer, he doesn't dare to let the big backer have the slightest problem.
"That's good!
I'm tired and I'm going back to sleep.
Last night, I didn't sleep all night trying to figure out what to do with Adolf. Kong Tingxun drank the whiskey in one gulp, stood up and said goodbye.
"Hmmm! Go back to sleep, your voice is hoarse. Duke Winter looked at Kong Tingxun with concern.
Richthofen once again captured this detail, and once again weighed the Oriental man's place in the heart of the Duke.
"Smoking too much!" Kong Tingxun smiled, nodded to Richthofen, and walked out of Duke Winter's office.
***************************
Far east, Li Xiao was inspecting the frontline positions.
There are very few people of his level who personally go to the front line to inspect.
But Li Xiao likes to do this!
Because of this hobby, the men of the guard regiment were tired and half dead all day.
"You're a worrying life, look at this endless plain. It's hard to find even a hill bag.
The tank pushes over with a flat horse, and what bullshit coalition forces are going to be finished. ”
Ao Ye looked at Li Xiao dissatisfied.
Under Ao Ye's command, there are now the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tank divisions.
Zu Kuan, Cao Bianjiao, and Li Dingguo are all under his command.
Moreover, Ao Ye also has the old base troops of the original first division, plus the elite infantry division drawn from the other three field divisions.
Although they were infantry divisions, they were equipped with a staggering number of tractors.
Although the tractor is slow, the loading weight is not as large as that of the truck.
Win in the low requirements for the road!
In this hellish place of Russia, it snows non-stop in winter, and people can freeze to death in broad daylight.
But in the spring, the ground will become soft and tread due to thawing.
In many places, there is a lot of snow seeping in, and you can even step on the mud when you step down.
Originally, the road conditions were not good, and now it is impossible for trucks to be used on the front line.
Poor infrastructure, which seriously hampered the actions of the 1st Army of the Expeditionary Force.
Fortunately, the main transportation force of the Ming army is now tractors, which alleviates the inconvenience caused by the thawing of the land to a certain extent.
"Russia's damn path is a real headache." Li Xiao sat in an armored car.
Despite being a tracked vehicle, it was stuck in mud puddles twice along the way.
"No way, this place in Russia is like this.
Tracked vehicles are fine, if it's a truck, it's even worse.
There are many places, and if you fall into them, you can't get out. ”
Ao Ye rubbed his head, just now the road was bumpy, and Ao Ye's head hit the wall of the armored car.
"The infrastructure is so poor that we don't have a good solution right now.
But the tractor is a good thing, you see, there are tractors back and forth on the road.
It's sturdy and durable, even though it can't pull as much as a truck. But it's better to use and not to sink into a mud pit.
Even if you get stuck in it, you can get it out. ”
Cao Bianjiao pointed to a large group of tractors outside and said with great satisfaction.
Li Xiao gave this product a big white eye!
The motorized troops that Lao Tzu had worked so hard to build with confidence are now being forced into tractors by this damn road.
"I'll talk to the repair center when I go back, and I will repair roads on the hour, and the entire engineer division is responsible for building roads and bridges."
Li Xiao glanced at the muddy land, and he didn't have much confidence.
After all, building bridges and roads takes time and a lot of investment.
One is that the armored forces move quickly and do not allow so much time.
Second, this place belongs to Russia, and there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to build bridges and roads for the Russians.
Daming himself has many places, but there is still no hard road.
"Let's adjust more airships, your fuel or something, it's the airship that will be transported first.
But the prerequisite is that you clear the ground of anti-aircraft fire.
Moreover, the airship could only go at most twenty kilometers behind the battle line.
For the rest of the journey, you still have to rely on tractors. ”
Li Xiao looked at the long list of tractors helplessly, no wonder everyone said that the tractor was the Ming military horse.
"Shuai, you said that we have so many good things, and the logistics are still so bad.
Wouldn't it be even worse on the coalition side?
They have more than 2 million people, and with such a large army, they need more supplies than mountains every day.
The consumption in peacetime is already difficult to cope with, and the consumption in wartime is so large, how can they replenish it?
Ammunition alone can kill them. ”
Zu Kuan didn't speak for a long time, and as soon as he spoke, he got to the point.
Li Xiao glanced at Zu Kuan approvingly: "First of all, the Prussians and Norsemen have been hoarding supplies all winter.
The hoarding during this period of time has made their supplies quite sufficient.
Secondly, although the roads are not good, the railway facilities in Smolensk are good.
The Smolensk railway is already connected to the Minsk railway.
Supplies from Poland and Prussia could be transported to the front by rail, wagons by wagon.
As for the last twenty kilometers, they can only rely on manpower and livestock.
Speaking of which, their logistics are even more difficult than ours. ”
"They also have airships, and they can always hear the "buzz" and "buzz" of the airships at night.
Those people in the Air Force will brag.
What made a night fighter, but let's get a look.
Their airship is also very big now, and it seems to be burning oil.
Brother Xiao!
Doesn't it mean that the fuel is stuck very dead, and the coalition forces can't get the oil?
Why the airship in the sky is still fucking like a mosquito. Ao Ye got out of the armored car and complained to Li Xiao dissatisfied.
"The Prussians developed the technology of coal-to-oil, that is, refining oil from coal.
Although this thing is not as good as diesel, and the loss in it is relatively large.
However, it is also much better than if they have no oil.
As for the night fighters......!
There's no way, I really can't figure it out now.
Wait and see! ”
For night fighters, Li Xiao was also helpless.
After all, radio technology is not yet mature.
That big thing can only be installed on a warship, and it is impossible to install it on an airplane at all.
Flying at night, in fact, the most feared is the problem of getting lost, and landing at night.
And the solution to these two difficulties can only count on radio.
"Actually, you don't need to fly!
Let's send a reconnaissance detachment to bypass the local battle line and find the location of the hoarding point and the airship landing ground.
If you pull the rocket artillery to the front, you will be on the front line.
In the evening, there was nothing left of the bombardment.
Our division organized men to do it twice, and according to the prisoners captured by the reconnaissance detachment, three airships alone were blown up.
I don't know how much the supplies have been blown up! ”
Cao Bianjiao glanced at Zu Kuan with some pride, his capable subordinates gave him reason to be proud.
Zu Kuan didn't speak, he just looked into the distance with a telescope, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
"This kind of action should be done less in the future.
Scouts are treasures and can't be consumed like this.
You've succeeded twice, but how many people have you lost? ”
Li Xiao's words made Cao Bianjiao's face a little ugly!
Indeed, these reconnaissance raids succeeded in eliminating two airship landing sites and ammunition accumulation sites.
But Da Ming also lost more than a dozen excellent soldiers.
Although the losses are somewhat insignificant compared to the results of the battle.
However, Cao Bianjiao still felt a little ashamed of the dead soldiers.
"In another half a month, the roads will be even mudier than they are now.
I think this should be the day they attack.
They would have thought that mud would be able to trap our tanks. ”
"Then let them come, Lao Tzu is idle now.
Last month in Vyazma, hundreds of thousands of Prussians were killed.
If they dare to come again this time, they must get at least two or three hundred thousand, otherwise there are too few enemies, and there will not be enough to eat. ”
Ao Ye's cowhide coaxed and patted his huge belly!
Li Xiao glanced at it helplessly, this arrogant old partner.
I don't know when it started, Ao Ye's belly pouch became bigger and bigger, and now, it is no different from a pregnant woman who is five months pregnant.
