Reinhard hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
Unlike famous generals such as Manstein, Rommel, and Guderian, Reinhardt had neither the mythical commanding art nor the profound military skills. Although he had studied in a military academy in his previous life, he
I haven't achieved anything to be proud of.
His only strength is his arrogance and his tenacity to persevere.
With this tenacity, he completed his studies at the military academy and completed a second degree in automation at an industrial university through self-study.
He burned the midnight oil for countless nights and spent countless hours in his dormitory studying repeatedly on his own, just to make up for the gap in talent between him and others.
During his long school years, he may not be considered a eugenic, but he must be the hardest-working student.
Because of his low self-esteem, he rarely even took the initiative to communicate with others, and gradually became a homebody. Because his family was poor, and he was afraid of offending the powerful and hurting his family, he never dared to be in the limelight, and allowed himself to be bullied by a wealthy second-generation man named Xiao Yao.
But, even so, he still lived a strong and difficult life.
During that painful life, the greatest wealth left to Reinhard was tenacity!
Now, he just drinks coffee to refresh himself, reviews every battle plan in detail, and spends countless sleepless nights with generals and staff in the headquarters conference room again and again, just doing his best.
Decide on your own responsibilities!
Germany, this great nation, has given itself a chance to be reborn and a stage to show off. And he, Reinhardt, will do his best to repay this kindness.
The German people entrust their hope for a better life to themselves, and the German soldiers entrust their lives and glory into their own hands. What else can touch people's hearts more than this trust!
Yes, he still shows an alternative temperament from time to time that is inconsistent with the national leader, and it even makes people think that he may never be serious.
However, whenever a major battle comes, he always travels tirelessly between the headquarters and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs countless times, and then reviews every military or diplomatic decision day and night.
A head of state who sleeps only four hours a day, a head of state who is hands-on in every detail.
The country's complex government affairs and countless battle plans are difficult to handle.
But Reinhard did it! He oppressed his body, cut down on his sleep time, and carefully signed the same boring documents over and over again, just to be a leader of a country in his own way.
He is not on the front line, but he is risking his life in another way!
Do you need anything else? For the people around him, this is enough! He may not be like those docile politicians who talk about long-winded truths all day long and show the aloof image of a worldly master.
But he is using his practical actions and his tenacity to infect everyone around him.
Therefore, even though he was a different kind of shameless person in Germany, even though he jumped up and down and improperly took off the clothes of all the senior generals, the senior officials of the Third Reich could still stand unswervingly behind him.
In addition to admiring the miracles he led one after another, everyone also saw his tenacious will to work harder than anyone else at critical moments and to be more reliable than anyone else. This is what truly unites people's hearts.
A head of state who shares joys and sorrows with everyone; a head of state who, no matter how crooked he appears to be, actually does everything well in every detail; a head of state who makes people laugh and call him crazy, but who respects and loves him in his heart
.This is the head of the Third Reich - Reinhard Heydrich!
"Lundstedt's Army Group A has now broken through the Maas River defense line. This opens the way to Paris and the English Channel. The British and French troops fighting in Belgium are in danger of being outflanked. Chen Bingma
The French army on the Chino Line of Defense will also be attacked from both sides." Reinhard said with satisfaction as he looked at the blue arrow representing the German army on the high command map.
Next to Reinhardt, Paulus, who was transferred from the 6th Army to the headquarters, also smiled and said: "My head of state, everything is under your control. I have to say that you have worked with Mann before.
The plan formulated by Lieutenant General Stein was so perfect that it almost calculated all the actions of the main British and French forces!"
Major General Paulus served as the chief of staff of General Reichenau of the Tenth Army during the Polish campaign, and his performance has always been good. Before the start of the French campaign, the Tenth Army was renamed the Sixth Army, and Paulus was also replaced by Reichenau.
By the way, Hart hired this chief of staff from Reichenau's staff to the headquarters, and kept him as a professional chief of staff beside him.
In fact, Paulus once had a not-so-nice nickname called "Can't Keep It". It means that he was at the center of the storm during the Battle of Stalingrad, known as the turning point of World War II, leading the most elite troops in Germany.
However, the Sixth Army failed to preserve the morale of the Sixth Army for Germany in this crucial battle, which caused the Sixth Army to become disorganized, and then the main force was exhausted and led to destruction.
Many people believe that Paulus's failure directly led to the collapse of the Third Reich and that he was the sinner of Germany in World War II, describing him as an incompetent general.
However, this view is actually biased.
In fact, Paulus was a very good soldier. In terms of performance, his commanding ability was even much higher than that of the Soviet generals who defeated him in Stalingrad.
Paulus was a man who was usually humble and indifferent to fame. He had always been respectful and respectful to the Führer, as well as to Manstein and other generals. It can be said that his character was a very likeable one.
Even Manstein, who had always looked down on other colleagues, always blamed other generals' poor command for affecting him, and liked to blame Paulus in his memoirs, did not attribute the failure of the Battle of Stalingrad to Paulus for the first time.
You know, Manstein dared to blame even Hitler and described most of the generals in the army headquarters as losers. For this reason, he even got the nickname "Manbuqun".
But only Paulus, the general who experienced the defeat of Stalingrad with him, the easiest scapegoat, received a fair evaluation from Manstein, who believed that Paulus would be justified even if he surrendered.
Excusable.
The reason is that Paulus was very respectful to Manstein during the Battle of Stalingrad, to the point where he regarded Manstein as his only savior.
To borrow the original words from the telegram Paulus sent to Manstein when he was surrounded by the Soviet army: "Marshal, I have always regarded your guidance as a guarantee. And my commanders and heroic soldiers will also do their best."
I will try my best to live up to your trust."
The signature is: Yours faithfully, Paulus.
As one of the few German commanders who has no airs and no strange temper, as one of the few defeated generals who was not criticized by "Man Bulqun" in his memoirs, Paulus, at least, will not be like what is depicted in history textbooks.
, he was a blind, arrogant fool who ran into the Soviet ambush without listening to advice.
