Chapter 20: A Late Night Visit (Revision)

General Falkenhein sat in a chair in front of the windowsill, his eyes slightly open so that it was impossible to distinguish them, and the crescent moon of the summer sun outside the window looked like a fragrant kiss that the women had just painted.

There was still half a glass of residual wine in the wine glass in his hand, and the whole person was as motionless as a statue. In this war-torn night, he couldn't really sleep, he was just stunned by the news he had just gotten.

An army, completely armed with tanks and armored vehicles, has now appeared in his rear. And all the forces he sent to block have been left far behind by these guys. Now they swooped straight for the supply base of the German 2nd Army, with the nearby heavily defended city of St. Quentin.

The situation of the war can be said to have reached the point where it could not be worse. The strength of the 2nd Army, excluding the troops facing the British and French forces, was trapped halfway on the return journey.

A division of the 17th Infantry Corps, the task of attacking enemy paratrooper units failed. At this moment, the enemy paratroopers were receiving strong air support and began a counterattack against the Germans.

The most worrying thing was that if the British and French forces on the front took the opportunity to continue the offensive, the German 2nd Army would suffer unbearable losses.

As for himself who lost the Battle of Verdun and is now in a desperate situation on the Somme......

"What else do I have to say?"

Yes, he admitted that he was defeated, and as far as he knew, both times at the hands of the Chinese. The Battle of Nancy inflicted heavy losses on Verdun's flank. Although this defeat was due to the command of Prince William, the battlefield commander at the time, the ferocity of his opponent's attack was also breathtaking.

Now the same Chinese army, which had inflicted losses on the Germans at Nancy, had appeared on the flanks of the Somme line with powerful armored corps. They were ready to coordinate with the British and French forces to attack Amiens, the center of the Somme front. If they had really done this, the German operations on the Somme would have collapsed.

"What should I do?"

The eyes that have been staring at the moon flashed with a blank look. Now he didn't have much to do, and the only thing he could do seemed to be nothing more than waiting.

Tang Yunyang, who now had the upper hand, did not intend to wait, and the armored spearhead composed of his two armored regiments took advantage of the night to pounce directly on St. Quentin. Although there were still some German units in front of them, Guderian's armored assault brigade that could stop them was already trapped, and as for the other armies in the tank cluster with the air attack, the three-dimensional offensive was not worth mentioning at all.

Although all the situation on the battlefield has begun to shift in the favorable direction of Thunder International, Tang Yunyang does not intend to win this battlefield for the Entente. What he wanted was almost there, at least he had gone with Marianne Witch to get it.

Prince Wilhelm, commander-in-chief of the German 5th Army, who had been closely following the Battle of the Somme, was also not the slightest bit sleepy. In the middle of the night, the lights were still bright in his headquarters.

"Sir, we just received a telegram!"

His chief of staff, General Steiner, brought him new news.

"What, what is that bastard doing here? General Steiner, do you think we should knock this nasty bastard out of the sky? ”

The bastard in William's mouth was naturally Tang Yunyang, who kidnapped and blackmailed him last time. Although the two sides dealt with each other afterwards, it was enough to show that the other party was a bastard worth dealing with.

A cautious smile appeared on General Steiner's lips, and he understood the thoughts of His Royal Highness.

He was a little scared of that man, the Oriental who didn't take his throne reverence in his eyes at all. However, without his timely supply of weapons, without his prompts, the Somme direction would probably not have achieved such an achievement.

"Your Highness, that Chinese is a little crazy, as far as I personally think, we may be able to do something good for the French and knock him down!" Then the French government and the military will never again be blackmailed by him! ”

General Steiner's summary of the bastard intrigued Prince William, and as usual a fox smile spread across his face.

"Sit down, sit down and say, my general, have you seen this guy's hole cards?"

General Steiner sat in a chair beside him.

"Greedy man, Your Highness, he is a greedy man! And his ability to scavenge for money is not comparable to that of any Jew! Lo and behold, we know something about him as well. As far as we know, he is from Shaanxi, China, and most of the money he looted was used to train international students for China. ”

Prince William frowned, and vaguely he sensed that he had thought of something.

"Well, these things you said are very interesting, I think I already understand a little!"

General Steiner since the German army

After obtaining a large number of new equipment, he strengthened communication with the domestic intelligence forces, and at the same time strengthened his understanding of Tang Yunyang.

"Through analysis, I came to the conclusion that the bastard was sent by the Chinese authorities. Carrying out the task of taking advantage of the war in Europe to extract money and train high-level personnel for China, which they desperately lacked. ”

Prince William was not so happy with the speculation, and he did not believe that China's politicians, who only knew how to fight for power, could think of it.

"Hmm, the Chinese government?"

General Steiner could see the frustration on the crown prince's face, and immediately stopped talking about another possibility.

"Or he is the one who is plotting to use the resources obtained from Europe in the future to seize power in China! I think he has assembled a very strong army, and if he has been tempered in the European battlefield, I believe that in terms of their combat strength, there is no one in China or China's neighboring countries who are their opponents! ”

"A strong China? General Steiner, do you think he has that ability to seize power in China? ”

General Steiner smiled bitterly, he felt that this crown prince was too high on himself, and he didn't know more about the East himself than the crown prince in front of him.

"Maybe that's possible, otherwise there is no reasonable explanation for what he's doing now. Now that the empire's eastern colonies have been completely lost, I personally think this is a good thing. Because if a strong China appears, at least we will not encroach on his land, and we will not provoke him to retaliate against us! ”

General Steiner's words stunned Prince William, who never imagined in his mind that a rising China would retaliate against the West. But at the thought that that bastard could kidnap and blackmail even himself, the future monarch of Germany, what else would he not dare to do?

If 400 million people were armed with all the new weapons that he had introduced in Europe, the future of Europe would be very bleak. Thinking of this, he muttered as if he were talking to himself.

"Yes, that bastard will, he's not like anyone else! I think we should really knock him down now, in that case, the Western free world ......"

General Steiner couldn't help but laugh in his heart, the crown prince's so-called aristocratic concept was a big part of him.

"Your Highness, I don't think it's hard to defeat him. But if his company and his men did not stand on a neutral side and wholeheartedly help the French to attack......! In fact, there is no need for us to sacrifice the interests of Germany for the sake of the rest of Europe, on the contrary, we can ......"

Prince William groaned for a moment, and suddenly understood what General Steiner meant. If this bastard is killed now, then it is very likely that Germany, because of his company, will sell all those weapons that have emerged in an endless stream and can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army to the Allied armies, and eventually lead to the demise of Germany.

On the contrary, if the Germans fully support him, or in the future a strong, armed with new weapons, China. Either they would not be in trouble with Germany, and they would be able to take advantage of the inevitable conflict between China's rise and the colonial countries on that land to gain the greatest benefit for Germany.

"General Steiner, I have to say, your gaze is cosmopolitan! Seriously, the position of a chief of staff is really a distortion of you, if you can, in the future the empire will establish a world strategic analysis center, then you will be the best person to lead! ”

General Steiner was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up to show William his loyalty. After all, if nothing else, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is still not so proud, will be the future German monarch.

"I want to serve you, my Highness!"

Prince Wilhelm straightened his back, as if he were now accepting the allegiance of General Steiner alone, but the allegiance of the entire German military.

"Well, let's see, what advice does that bastard have to give us? Seriously, I'm starting to get curious now! ”

Yes, what kind of advice would Tang Yunyang bring to this Prince William? This is indeed an interesting question. It was also something that General Steiner had been speculating about ever since he saw this telegram from there.

It is said that the two armies are now fighting fiercely in the direction of the Somme, and according to intelligence, when the German army is being defeated and retreating, what is the other side doing here?

"Of course he will not come here for the benefit of the Entente, his arrival is nothing more than his interest, so what exactly does he want?"

General Steiner couldn't guess this anyway. In fact, if you can't guess it, you don't need to guess. After all, these things were nothing more than a deal between His Royal Highness and him, and there was no fundamental conflict of interest with General Steiner himself.

The only thing he wanted to know now was, what kind of deal was this?
