In May 1943, the sky was as blue as the sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The air is fresh, and the flowers and trees are vibrant.

In such beautiful weather, Rommel, who was in a depressed mood, was wearing a light coat and a gray top hat; Walking alone in Berlin's famous Tilcaten Park, walking aimlessly.

Rommel, who had been relieved of all his posts by Hitler in March and had been recuperating from his wounds, had always been thinking about the land for which he had fought so hard and spent a great deal of his heart ---- in Africa.

However, after the end of the Battle of Tunisia, his thoughts were not so strong.

On the contrary, he was worried about the future of Germany, with his military vision; He also knew very well that once Africa fell, then Italy would also be in danger. The Anglo-American coalition forces will attack Italy in a big way, and if Italy is captured, then Germany's general trend will be lost.

Or it can be said that even in the current situation, Germany is on the road to defeat.

For this reason, the question he has been thinking about the most recently is: 'If Italy is invaded by the British allied forces, what will Germany do in response and counterattack?' ’

But after thinking about it, he still sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly.

Because after three years of fighting in Africa, Rommel thought that he knew the temper of the Italians very well, and considered them to be cowardly, selfish, and worthless people; Moreover, he was very convinced that if the British and American forces were to carry out a landing operation in Italy; These Italians will definitely surrender without resistance.

"Is our German Empire on the verge of defeat?"

Walking, walking, Rommel suddenly stopped in an irritated mood, looked up at the clear blue sky, and muttered to himself.

"Nope! Nope! I want to see the Führer! I'm going to show him how to hold Italy! Hold on to our empire! ”

It was only very soon that Rommel shook his head quickly and got rid of all negative thoughts.

"What's the matter, so upset and irritable? This kind of performance doesn't look like you at all! Marshal Rommel! ”

At this moment, suddenly a middle-aged man's voice sounded behind Rommel.

"Hmmm! Who is talking to me? ”

Hearing this, Rommel naturally turned to look behind him to see what was talking to him.

It's just that when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he opened his mouth wide in shock and was stupid.

"Yuan, Führer! How did you suddenly end up here? ”

Rommel exclaimed in disbelief.

"Because my SS has just seen you coming, they have reported to me your whereabouts; And I've just finished visiting the soldiers of the Panzergrenadier Division of the Skeletons, so I'm going to talk to you! You don't like to see me? If so, I could have left right away! ”

Chen Yanlong smiled slightly.

At this moment, Chen Yanlong is also dressed in civilian clothes, with an amiable appearance.

"Nope! No! Monarch! I'd love to see you! ”

After hearing this, Rommel immediately came to his senses and hurriedly replied loudly.

He knew very well that since his dismissal, no matter what connections and means he used, it would be difficult for him to see Hitler again.

So now that there is such a good opportunity to meet, how can he let it go.

And maybe this time the Führer's initiative meeting will be a great opportunity for him to turn over.

So he definitely can't miss such a great opportunity to turn over, as the so-called opportunity is unavoidable, unreachable! If I missed this time, I really don't know how long I will have to wait for such a good opportunity in the future; If it weren't enough, he would definitely regret it and be heartbroken......

"It's a nice day! Come on, run with me, I haven't worked out in a long time! Marshal Rommel! ”

Chen Yanlong smiled when he saw Rommel who was suddenly stunned again.

"Ahh Yes, yes! Monarch! ”

Rommel was stunned and immediately responded.

Chen Yanlong just smiled mildly and didn't answer.

But he jogged first, and waved his hand at Rommel to follow.

Soon, two middle-aged men were jogging in Tilcaton Park one after the other.

There are many buildings around the Tyre Park, and the east side of the park is near the Brandenburg Gate; It used to be a hunting ground for the nobility, so the area of the park is quite large.

"Whew! I can't imagine that I can run so sweaty without exercising for a while! ”

On a beautiful bridge in the park, Chen Yanlong stopped and stared at the flocks of wild ducks under the bridge; He was playing with the geese, looking for food for them, and said to Rommel, who was also a little out of breath.

"Me too! Monarch! Looks like I'm going to have to exercise more in the future! ”

Rommel also wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Do you want to go to war again? Marshal Rommel! ”

Chen Yanlong suddenly restrained his smile, and turned to stare at Rommel with sharp eyes.

"Yes! Dream it all! I haven't settled accounts with Montgomery yet! I must avenge the revenge of the African campaign! ”

Rommel was stunned for a few seconds, and then shouted emotionally like chicken blood in an instant.

"Hmmm! I just like you who are so scrappy and energetic! But I'm going to drop you to Italy, I don't know how you feel? ”

Chen Yanlong smiled with satisfaction.

"Everything is at the Führer's behest of the Führer!"

Rommel respectfully gave a military salute and replied aloud in surprise and inexplicably.

"According to the information received by our intelligence system, Britain and the United States will send large armies to conduct landing operations in Sicily; And I will deploy heavy troops in Sicily to ambush the Anglo-American allies! So I hope you will be able to give me a good idea of the Italian rear! Because our intelligence sources show that once Sicily is captured by Britain and the United States, then the Italian royal family and all the leading members of the officer corps, as well as the clergy, will conspire to overthrow Mussolini's regime, and even his son-in-law Ziano is one of the members of the conspiracy group! ”

"If Italy withdraws from this war, it will have a great impact on our future operations! And the most important thing is that the Anglo-American allies can cross Brenner in Italy and enter our empire proper! And such a dangerous thing, I will never allow it! So I decided to draw 8 armored divisions and 4 infantry divisions on the Eastern Front for you to use in Italy! ”

Chen Yanlong finished speaking all his intentions in one breath.

"Führer, your strategic deployment is not bad, though! But I personally think that you should now give up Sardinia, Sicily, and most of Greece; and all the Italian territories south of the line of Pissarine, all the forces that will be saved; All of them were put into the Soviet theater, and this was the strategic focus of our Germany in 1943! ”

But when Rommel heard this, he hesitated for a long time before he mustered up the courage to speak.

"Sorry! Marshal Rommel! The Battle of Sicily was a very important battle for our country, so I can't give up! So I hope you can forgive me for my suffering! And I've made up my mind! This battle must be fought, and I will inflict heavy losses on the Anglo-American allies! ”

Chen Yanlong shook his head and said with a sigh.

When the words fell, Rommel didn't know how to organize the language for a while to persuade Chen Yanlong to accept his strategic views.

"Alright, let's decide! Tomorrow you will return to your original position, and give me a good command of the troops to hold the mountain pass between Italy and Germany! ”

Without waiting for Rommel to answer, Chen Yanlong made a final decision.

"Alright! Monarch! ”

Looking at Chen Yanlong, who had made up his mind, Rommel just sighed softly, saluted a military salute, and agreed.

"Hmmm! Well done! Don't let me down! ”

Chen Yanlong gently patted Rommel's shoulder and encouraged.

Then Chen Yanlong turned around and prepared to leave, and the moment he turned around, he had been sneaking up on him; and dozens of SS members behind Rommel appeared in full gear and closely escorted Chen Yanlong away.
