Chapter 372: The Best Ally

After the captain's warning was to no avail, he immediately pulled out a Luger 08 pistol from his waist and threatened.

However, the red-eyed GIs will listen to the captain, and they have been punished here for so long, and finally a group of noisy recruits want 9V100 and volunteer to be a punching bag. Plus with Lieutenant Colonel Tim coming out, what can you do if you don't spill enough gas?

Seeing that the captain was already showing signs of madness, Tim shouted triumphantly, "Okay! Stop and come back. Captain, hey, what? Wasn't it arrogant just now? How did it become so decadent now? Tsk, I thought you brought in a great recruit, but that's it! ”

On the side, weak chickens, weak ducks and others got up from the ground in embarrassment and stood in a row.

To say that the GIs of the 3rd Airborne Infantry Regiment are really ruthless enough with black feet, and they almost have no bones under the kicks.

Several other people also have swollen noses and blue faces, and their noses are still bubbling with bloody bloodstains, which is not much better, and the most comfortable is this guy Wren, who miraculously didn't take a punch, and actually beat people quite coolly.

It seems that it is no coincidence that this guy Ren can be the squad leader of the recruit squad. At least, he had said before that he never lost a fight, and it should be true.

The captain glanced at the nine new brothers who walked back, turned his head and snorted coldly, "Hmph, Lieutenant Colonel Tim, don't be complacent." It's Saturday, so let's try it again next Monday! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Tim smiled proudly, shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression: "Hehe, always accompanied!" ”

The captain glanced at Wren and them, and snorted coldly with a somewhat complicated face: "Hmph, rookies, today's training is over, go to the hospital to report first, and continue training tomorrow......"

"......" Wren had a speechless expression on their faces, and they were very puzzled in their hearts, what did the captain mean by this?

Dare to continue the competition next week? They fight nine out of a hundred, and it's nine of us who really have the guts!

What's the matter, dragging them here every week to look for abuse?

But thinking that the other party was the commander, the nine had to swallow their sulk in frustration, leave the training ground under the captain's slogan, and walk to the hospital under the gaze of a group of soldiers with mocking eyes behind them.

Wren and the others didn't know that after this training, the captain had already made a general assessment of their strength in his heart. And, perhaps, it won't be long before they will be sent into battle as a strategic reserve to officially begin their mission.

............

And further east of the training base in Warsaw, where they are located, is the Soviet Union, which already borders Germany.

Recently, with the Third Reich defeating the British, French-Belgian coalition in the west, the Soviet Union's plans have been unfolded in an orderly manner.

On 31 May, the Soviet Union sent a note to the Romanian Government demanding that the region of Bessarabia be returned to the Soviet Union (which had been carved out in the previous peace treaty between Soviet Russia and the Entente) and that Northern Bukovina (in which the Moldovans were predominant) be "transferred" to the Soviet Union as a member state of Moldova, on the grounds that the policies of the Romanian military dictatorship seriously threatened the security of the Soviet Union's southwestern border.

The Romanian junta, naturally, resisted fiercely and immediately sent a note to the German ambassador. However, as in the Finnish campaign, Reinhardt did not ask the German Foreign Office to respond to Romania's request for help in the future, in order to bring Romania together against the Soviet Union in the future.

After all, if Germany had helped Romania today, it would have benefited from the Romanian government to provide more and cheaper oil. For Germany, which owns and develops the northern oil fields, this return is not very interesting.

On the contrary, if today Romania was occupied by the Soviet Union. Then, in the future war with the Soviet Union, this country will join the camp of Germany in order to regain its territory, and provide a huge amount of servant troops for the two armies.

It is often said that Finland is Germany's best ally. But in Reinhardt's view, the most powerful ally of the Third Reich was not the Finnish army, but the Romanian army.

Although the Finnish army suffered heavy losses in the Soviet-Finnish war, the Soviet army is obvious to all. But don't forget that Finland's Mannahim Line, which took advantage of the favorable terrain, and the weather were very favorable.

Moreover, Finland's cooperation with Germany has historically been half-hearted, and after recovering the lost territory, it was very reluctant to continue to cooperate with the German army. There was little involvement in the German-led war.

Romania, on the other hand, served as a German servant in World War II, not only in the fight against the Soviet Union. And, having recovered all the territory, he continued to participate in the war against the Soviet Union, tying his fate closely to the fate of the Third Reich.

More importantly, a large part of the Romanian troops were completely at the disposal of German commanders, completely at the disposal of German officers.

What kind of concept is this, to take the initiative to hand over the army of one's own country to the use of an allied country, and to work hard and accept all orders from the commanders of the allied countries. This is simply a selfless, exemplary ally!

You must know that in history, the Crimean Campaign, in which Manstein was promoted to marshal, was fought at the same time by commanding the German 11th Army and a Romanian Army. It is also clear in Manstein's memoirs that he had complete command of the Romanian army group.

The friendly forces provided by Romania were also praised by Manstein as the most effective of all Germany's allies (including Finland's allies).

In the early days of the Eastern Front, the Romanian army assisted the Germans in encircling a large number of Soviet troops in Kiev. It can be said that there is still a certain combat effectiveness.

Later, the Romanian Fourth Army served as the main force, alone capturing the Soviet Black Sea port city of Odessa, cutting off the Soviet Union's channel for sending troops and materials from the Black Sea to Ukraine through Odessa, and drawing troops for the German army to invade the Soviet hinterland.

You must know that the Soviet Union's Odessa defense area is a super-large defense area that governs the Soviet Army's independent Primorsky Army, the Odessa base of the Black Sea Fleet, and the militia units. The Soviets even built three lines of defense around the city of Odessa, consisting of trenches, pillboxes and anti-tank gun positions, which were heavily defended.

In order to defend Osad, the Soviet Independent Primorsky Army and part of the Black Sea Fleet were ordered to hold Odessa in order to ensure that its Southern Front and Southwestern Front received naval support and supplies.

But such a powerful Soviet defense area was captured by Romanian troops.

With such a record, Romania can be said to be the second largest main participating country in the German camp after the Third Reich on the Eastern Front. Among the many Allied armies on the German Eastern Front, the Romanian military deserved to be the strongest Allied force!

And such the best ally that Germany has ever encountered in history is exactly what the Soviet Union is now pushing Germany forged.
