Chapter 498: Lucy and Rommel

As for Dr. Polsher's obedience, Chen Yanlong nodded with great satisfaction.

Then the two of them chatted a few words, and waited for the arrival of senior officials from other car companies for a meeting.

For Chen Yanlong, he now not only wants these automobile companies to develop and produce more advanced tanks, armored vehicles, jeeps, and amphibious military vehicles for him.

He also hopes that these car companies will spread their brands to the world, monopolize most of the world's automotive sales, and make a lot of money to invest in national defense construction.

However, because it was the end of World War II, Chen Yanlong could not produce and promote these brands of cars in large quantities, so he could only sell them in small quantities in the occupying powers, client countries, as well as his own country and other neutral countries.

"It seems that I still want to end this World War II as soon as possible and establish the EU to make money!"

While Chen Yanlong was still waiting for the executives of those automobile companies, he couldn't help but sigh softly and muttered to himself.

At this time, Rommel had just finished his busy work and returned to his temporary residence.

His wife, Lucy, and son Manfred also had lunch together in the residence.

Their current temporary residence is a three-and-a-half-story Italian villa in the center of Rome, seized from a wealthy Italian businessman.

"How long do you have before you leave for North Africa?"

During lunch, Lucy looked at Rommel tenderly and asked.

"Maybe 3 days later! Because Guderian also wants to lead his troops to the Middle East, where he will get more oil for the Führer! Therefore, the Führer is deploying troops and weapons and equipment for both of us, as well as putting in order the logistical supplies, otherwise if our battle line is too long, once the logistical supplies cannot keep up, our troops will easily run out of food and ammunition! ”

After eating a small piece of steak, Rommel smiled mildly.

"I'm reluctant to let you go! So is our son Manfred! ”

Lucy said with her true feelings.

"I am reluctant to leave you, but now the Führer treats us so well, and this time it is a great opportunity to wash away my shame in North Africa! So I can't afford not to go, and this is also a fight for the rise of our empire, and as an active soldier I must obey the Führer's arrangement! ”

On the question of military arrangements, Rommel responded seriously.

"You! As long as you talk about the army, you look very serious, I really don't know how to say hello! But no matter what, I hope you don't run to the front line to command the troops as you used to! ”

"How can you say that you are a generalissimo now, and you are quite old, don't let me worry, I don't want you to get hurt!"

Lucy gazed affectionately at Rommel with a serious expression and complained.

"Hmmm! I will! And the person who can hurt me hasn't shown up yet! ”

Rommel looked at Lucy, who cared about him, and happily agreed.

"That's good! Don't worry me, but can you come back to Germany on Christmas Day and spend Christmas with us? I've heard that the Führer's Christmas is going to be very atmospheric this time! I don't know what the Führer's meeting will be arranged, but I'm looking forward to it! ”

Seeing Rommel who finally smiled, Lucy also put her mind at ease and continued to show a sweet smile and said happily.

"Oh! Do you want to do Christmas this year well? How did I not know? ”

Hearing this, Rommel was slightly stunned and surprised.

"Yes! I also heard it from Madame Goebbels, I don't know if it's true! The Führer hoped to use Christmas to reward the three armies and revive the depressed mood of the people in the country. ”

Lucy explained.

"I see! It will be necessary to see how the war is going when I arrive, and what the Führer's arrangements will be able to answer to you, whether I can go back to Germany for Christmas and spend the holidays with you! ”

Rommel suddenly realized.

"Actually, I feel that if the Führer had sent all his forces to the Eastern Front to defeat the Russians, then you would not have to go to North Africa, and you would be able to return home at Christmas to accompany me and our son Manfred!"

Lucy suddenly continued to complain.

"Yes! In terms of the current state of the war, I feel that the Führer should focus entirely on the Eastern Front, defeating the most stubborn opponent, the Russians, before confronting the Anglo-American Allies on the Western Front, counterattacking North Africa, and attacking the Middle East! ”

Rommel agreed.

"Then why didn't you propose so to our Führer? Why do you still take his orders and lead troops to prepare for a counterattack against North Africa? Do we have to leave me and our son Manfred before Christmas? ”

Lucy was full of complaints, and asked a series of rhetorical questions.
