To put it bluntly, Xu Rui trained Di Gua as Leng Tiefeng’s successor.
As the leader of the Chahar Independent Regiment, Xu Rui must focus his main energy on the construction of the main force and the base area. The Langya Brigade still relies more on Leng Tiefeng to command, but things are unpredictable and no one can
I dare not say that I will never have any accidents, so it is necessary to train a reserve captain for Langya.
Xu Rui asked Digua to be the reserve captain of the Wolf Fang Brigade, firstly because of his explosive force value, and secondly because this kid has a flexible mind and acts in an unconventional way. There are not so many rules. To put it simply,
, that is, Digua will not be constrained by traditional military thinking and is a natural special soldier.
However, this boy has the most fatal flaw, which is that he is too frivolous.
However, Xu Rui is very convinced that sweet potatoes will definitely grow after experiencing this incident.
At this time, Han Feng said again: "Captain, you just said that our Langya Brigade's disastrous defeat this time was due to a German named Konings, right?"
Xu Rui said: "Yes, the principal of Berlin Sniper School, Konings."
"What a dog." Yu Bican said bitterly, "I have to go to Berlin when I have time in the future. We in the Langya Brigade have no grudges against Germany, but they actually help the Finns to plot against us. This is so fucking boring.
.”
"Konings may not have wanted to do this subjectively, but it is a fact that he unintentionally helped the Finns and caused harm to our Wolf Fang Brigade, so this account still needs to be settled with the Germans.
"Yes." Xu Rui said, "And we don't have to wait until later to settle the debt. We will be able to repay this debt to the Germans soon."
Han Feng and the other four were stunned when they heard this. Are they going to fight the Germans soon?
Digua asked: "Captain, what's going on? Is Germany involved?"
Xu Rui shook his head and continued: "There is no involvement yet, at least there is no definite information yet, but as long as nothing unexpected happens, Germany will definitely get involved."
Xu Rui is still very confident in his own judgment.
In another time and space, the reason why Germany did not get involved in the Soviet-Finnish War was because the Soviet army did not perform well in the Soviet-Finnish War and only won a miserable victory. But now, because the Soviet army has achieved a complete victory and defeated the Scandinavian
Sweden and Norway on the Navia Peninsula have shown territorial ambitions, which has touched Germany's psychological bottom line.
Norway's iron ore resources are a very important strategic resource for Germany.
…
Xu Rui was still just guessing, but Stalin had already obtained the exact information.
Timoshenko came to the Kremlin early in the morning to say goodbye to Stalin. As soon as they met, Stalin handed Timoshenko a piece of top-secret information.
After reading it, Timoshenko's face suddenly changed slightly.
"Germans?" Timoshenko said in a deep voice, "The Germans are coming?"
"No, it's not coming, it's already here!" Stalin said solemnly, "Because there is a delay in intelligence, our intelligence personnel still need to confirm it after obtaining it, which will take two or three days at the earliest.
, so the Germans may have already entered Sweden.”
After a slight pause, Stalin continued: "Comrade Timoshenko, your Northwest Front Army must be more vigilant against the Germans and never give them the slightest chance. In short, once it is discovered that Germans are participating in the war, not only must they deal the most resolute blow
, and we must win, and we must win simply!”
The Führer was afraid of Stalin, and Stalin was actually even more afraid of the Führer.
At this time, the Führer and Stalin were just like two boxers who had never fought before and were completely strangers to each other. The Führer was afraid of Stalin's size, and Stalin was afraid of the Führer's exquisite and agile boxing skills. However, in comparison, Stalin was even more worried.
Bottom, so I am particularly wary of this temptation initiated by the head of state.
Stalin knew very well that if he could not inflict pain on the Germans this time, or even allow Germany to taste the benefits, then Germany would most likely make major adjustments to its strategic direction and change its primary target of attack from the British and French bloc to the Soviet Union. In this case
, the Soviet Union really may not be able to withstand it.
After all, the Soviet Union has already gone to full-scale war with Japan. Once it goes to full-scale war with Germany, it will have to face Axis attacks from both directions at the same time. This will be an absolute disaster for the Soviet Union! Although the Soviet Union has a vast territory and a population
Although there are many, and although the industrial base is strong enough, it cannot withstand such an all-out war.
As for Britain and France, they will never participate in advance until the Soviet Union sheds its last drop of blood.
As a high-ranking member of the Soviet army and the commander of the Northwest Front, Timoshenko naturally knew this. At that moment, Timoshenko nodded and said, "I will!"
Stalin further suggested: "If necessary, the Wolf Fang Brigade can be allowed to end its vacation early."
"No need for the time being." Timoshin shook his head and said, "After all, after the Germans enter Scandinavia, they will need at least some time to familiarize themselves with the situation and will not join the war immediately." After a pause, he added, "Wolf
The Ya Brigade suffered a lot in the second phase of the battle, so we’d better let them rest for a while.”
Stalin nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
Timoshenko paid a military salute, turned around and left.
…
Unfortunately, Timoshenko was wrong this time.
Because this time the German troops who came to Scandinavia under the orders of the Führer were the German Base Camp Guard, and the captain of the Base Camp Guard was a guy named Rommel!
Let me explain, the base camp guard is not the SS!
Rommel's Headquarters Guard has nothing to do with the blond devil Himmler's SS, and the levels of the two sides are not the same. The Headquarters Guard under Rommel is just a reinforced battalion. In nature, it belongs to the head of state.
A private guard, but the SS is a huge organization integrating intelligence, internal security, combat and other functions!
When the Cheka received the intelligence and sent it back to Moscow, Rommel had already led more than 800 German troops from the base camp guard and quietly arrived in Stockholm on a merchant ship. He learned that the head of state had actually sent his personal guard to Sweden, and the Swedish king
Gustavus V specially held a welcome dinner at the palace.
In fact, the relationship between Sweden and Germany is not that good, and there were even quite a few disputes during the Gustav period.
However, times have changed, and today's Sweden is no longer the Nordic power it was in the Staf times, and Germany is no longer the loose federation that was at the mercy of others.
Now it is the Swedes' turn to look up to the Germans. To be honest, if there were no external forces like Germany or the Anglo-French bloc to intervene and let Sweden face its strong neighbor to the east, the Soviet Union, the final result would probably not be as good as Finland's.
Much better. It was precisely because of this that Gustav V received Rommel solemnly.
Swedish King Gustaf V and Queen Victoria braved the severe winter cold, dressed in costumes, and personally waited for the German dignitaries at the entrance of the palace. However, they did not come when they waited on the left or right. They waited until it was completely dark.
Still, they did not wait for Rommel to arrive. Finally, Gustav V sent someone to ask and found out that Rommel had already gone to the front line.
After Gustav V learned the news, he was angry and moved. What made him angry was that Rommel was so ungrateful that he and the queen waited outside the palace for so long. What moved him was that Rommel, as a German,
, but were so enthusiastic about helping their Kingdom of Sweden fight against the Soviet invaders.
Comparing the two, there are still more touching emotions.
At that moment, Gustaf V said to Swedish Prime Minister Hansen beside him: "Prime Minister, remember you told me that this Rommel is still a military strategist, right?"
Prime Minister Hansen said: "He is not much of a military strategist, but he once wrote a book "Infantry Attack" when he was an instructor at the Dresden Infantry School. I have read this book, and it is indeed very insightful.
And the reason why he gained the favor of the German head of state was also because of this book."
Gustav V said happily: "Isn't that a military strategist?"
Prime Minister Hansen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty said he is a military strategist, so he is."
Gustav V added: "Since this Rommel is a military strategist, and his ability has even been recognized by the German head of state, why not simply hand over the command of the Swedish Defense Forces to him?"
"What?" Hansen was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, is this okay?"
"What's wrong?" Gustaf V asked, "Does the Prime Minister think that among our Swedish generals, any of our generals has more commanding attainments than Rommel?"
"I'm afraid not. The teaching level of our Royal Military Academy in Stockholm cannot be compared with several military schools in Germany." Prime Minister Hansen shook his head and said, "But Rommel is a German after all. We put the Wehrmacht
Is it really a good idea to hand over the command to a German?"
Gustavus V waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister, you are worried that doing this will attract wolves into the house."
Hansen nodded and said: "The Germans, like the Slavs, are all greedy."
Gustavus V disagreed and said: "Even if the Germans really have ambitions towards Sweden, they have to help us get rid of the Slavs, don't you think?" After a pause, he added, "But
Prime Minister, your worries are justified. How about instead of this, appoint Rommel as Chief of General Staff of the Swedish Defense Forces, responsible for formulating specific tactics and strategies for the war against the Soviet Union, but not give him the final decision-making power, okay?"
Hansen deeply agreed with this and said quickly: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Okay, it's settled." Gustav V said, "Prime Minister, please send a telegram to Adolf immediately and tell him that I have found a powerful chief of general staff for him and ask him to respect Rommel's opinion.
