624 Why stopped
Where the Führer was there, it was probably the most heavily defended place in Germany. The Wolf's Den in East Prussia now had a very large garrison, mainly to protect the Führer.
The outermost part was protected by Wehrmacht troops, and closer to the core, it became an all-SS unit.
Although the famous Adolf? Hitler's Guard Banner Corps had now become an armored division fighting in all directions, but the Führer still had a Guard Flag Corps by his side to protect his personal safety.
The soldiers around each Führer are rigorously selected, and their vetting difficulty is definitely the best in the world.
To be able to become a soldier of the Führer Guard, not only do they have strict and perverted requirements for height and size, but even they have hard standards for the color of their eyes.
Only pure-bred so-called Aryans could serve as the Führer's guards, and the rigor of training was incredible.
"Victory! Monarch! As Li Le walked past the guards, everyone raised their chins and raised their right hands to greet their idols with the most standard German salute.
The Führer was their idol, the great leader of the past and the present, who guided the way of Great Germany!
"Victory! Monarch! Two more guards passed, and the same excited shouts were repeated. It's like a star-chaser now, and I'm as excited as seeing my favorite star.
Li Le's eyes walked forward without squinting, he was used to this state. Almost a year has passed since the life of the superior, and the souls who have come from afar have also had the consciousness of following the local customs.
Two white-gloved guards pushed open the front door for him, and the spacious conference room appeared in front of him.
Li Le took Bowman and the others into the room, and then naturally walked to the main seat and sat down.
A huge map was laid out on the table, flanked by high-ranking officers from the Army. Field Marshal Brauchitsch was also there, and Marshal Keitel, naturally, was not absent.
"Stand upright! …… Victory! Monarch! All the officers raised their arms and greeted Li Le's arrival.
He is the king of this room, and the king of all of Germany. Now he is a god and the hope of the whole of Germany.
Li Le pressed down on his hands and motioned for everyone to sit down and talk. Then everyone sat down, and silence returned to the room.
"Guderian stopped?" Li Le looked at Brauchitsch, because it was a matter for the Wehrmacht, and it was also a matter for the armored forces, Li Le was more willing to give the Army General Command corresponding respect.
Unlike the real Hitler, Leo has always dealt with the Wehrmacht in a way that is both trusting and courteous.
Although they were also trying their best to infiltrate and split up with the SS, Li Le was still consciously or unconsciously downplaying the contradictions between the Führer and the Wehrmacht.
As a result of his tireless efforts, the rift between the Wehrmacht and the Führer did not widen, but tended to get smaller and smaller.
On the one hand, it was because Li Le developed a large number of new weapons and became a mentor to the German military in terms of tactical thinking.
On the other hand, it was Li Le who found a lot of ways for the army to make a fortune, so that the army soared in the process of expanding the army and obtained exponential benefits.
Of course, there is another important reason, because Li Le started in advance and cleaned up all the people who opposed him in the army.
All the officers worth paying attention to have been closely monitored by Li Le. And those key people who once led to the breakup between the army and the Führer, Li Le has already packed it up.
Under this premise, the relationship between the two sides is now quite friendly, the army can follow most of the Führer's orders, and the Führer will tolerate the army's assertion of some details.
"Yes, my Führer! General Guderian was forced to stop near Krupki, and the Soviets were reinforcing the line of defense directly in front of him. Brauchitsch was also worried.
Once again, it was a very difficult thing to break through the defensive positions of the enemy's fixed fortifications. The Germans were reluctant to fight a storm, or there were no troops in the world who were willing to fight a storm.
"The 505th Tank Destroyer Battalion actually lost 6 Leopard tanks, which is a very rare thing in previous battles." A major general who rushed back from the front gave a brief account of the battle situation.
"I've read the battle report, they destroyed about 100 tanks of the Soviet army, and only lost 6 tanks...... Doesn't that mean anything, does it? Another general can be said to be quite satisfied with this exchange ratio.
Regardless of the true margin between the warring parties, being able to get the exchange ratio close to 20 to 1 cannot be called a failure in any way.
Since there was no defeat, wouldn't it be logical to continue the offensive? The general looked at Li Le and suggested, "I suggest ordering Guderian to concentrate more forces and break through to Krupki. ”
"How's the reinforcements going?" Leo asked again, this time looking at Field Marshal Keitel, who was in charge of mobilizing the SS troops.
As chief of staff of the Supreme High Command, Keitel was an important military staff officer for Li Le's mobilization of the Waffen-SS.
Hearing the Führer's question, he hastened to answer: "My Führer, the work of replacing the SS with second-line troops is intensively underway. ”
As he spoke, he spread out the folder in front of him and introduced: "The 501st Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion has left for the front line, and the 502nd Tank Destroyer Battalion has all returned home. ”
"In addition, General Dietrich's Führer Guard Banner Panzer Division is also on its way to the front line to support Gudri in installing the armor cluster."
In fact, there were not a few German troops massing in Guderian's area, and Field Marshal Rundstedt had already sent troops to the vicinity of the battle.
The Germans were massing their forces faster than the Soviets, mainly because the Germans were much more mechanized than the Soviets.
"The offense still has to go on." After Li Le heard these answers, he no longer cared too much about the losses of the 505 armored battalion.
From his point of view, any force is inevitably needed. If the value of the exchange is high enough, it will not be spared even if it is consumed.
As for the fact that there is an acquaintance of his soul in the 505th Armored Battalion, Karyus, he will not think that there is anything wrong with it.
Because in Li Le's opinion, the tiger king Karyus is the most fierce and wise tiger, and he will not easily die in a small corner of the battlefield.
"Reinforcements to the front line as much as possible, so that Guderian can master the rhythm of the attack! Order him, go on the offensive when you're ready! After Li Le gave this order, he ended the topic of discussion.
