Lin Youde walked into the office with a bread in his mouth, only to find that Viola was already busy at the desk.

"It's early."

As soon as Lin Youde's words fell, Viola said to him without raising her head: "The generals are already waiting in the war room, you can hurry over." ”

Lin Youde slowly finished eating the bread in his hand, wiped his hand on his body casually, and then bent down to approach Viola.

"You haven't given me the kiss in the morning."

"Fault." Viola counted him down in the Chinese she had just learned, and then turned her head and kissed Lin Youde's lips lightly. After the kiss, she frowned and said, "A mouthful of bread crumbs!" ”

Lin Youde straightened up with a wicked smile, pushed the door and left the office, and walked down the corridor towards the war room.

When he was about to arrive at the war room, he was confronted by Sissi, who was dressed in a military uniform and looked very sassy.

When Qian Qian saw Lin Youde, her first reaction was to stand up and salute, Lin Youde laughed, stepped forward and opened her arms to give her a strong hug.

"You're my wife," he whispered in Sissi's ear, "why bother to see so much." ”

"It's a time of war." Qian Qian pushed Lin Youde away hard, glared at him sternly, and then smiled, "You are also serious, let the soldiers see that it is not good." ”

Lin Youde shrugged his shoulders and continued to ask, "Has your body fully recovered?" ”

"Well, I think I should be able to continue my normal duties from today."

"Then from today onwards, you will continue to serve as my bodyguard, now those two people are very busy, they can barely get out, and you can only follow me all day long."

As soon as Lin Youde's words fell, Qian Qian laughed out loud, looking very happy.

"It's the same as before, right?" As she spoke, she took a step in front of Lin Youde, looked up at Lin Youde slightly, and her smiling face completely hit Lin Youde's "good ball zone".

So Lin Youde lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

The moment Lin Youde's lips left, Sissi stretched her neck slightly, as if she wanted to kiss, but she immediately stopped her subconscious movements, and said: "Speaking of paying attention to the impact, this is a critical juncture, let the children and daughters let it go first." ”

Lin Youde nodded, turned around and pushed open the door of the war room.

The generals were already waiting in the war room, and as soon as they saw Lin Youde coming in, Erwin and Heinz, who had been promoted by Lin Youde, immediately saluted Lin Youde, while the reaction of the other German generals was obviously slower.

However, Lin Youde would not mind this kind of detail, anyway, as the war progressed, he was fully sure that his reputation in the army would continue to increase, and he gestured to signal that the generals could put down their saluting hands, and walked to the top of the rectangular conference table in the war room, and Sissi followed behind him.

"What was the status of last night's attack?"

Erwin immediately reported: "The armored hunter Genghis Khan Brigade and the Iron Man Brigade each selected their targets last night, and the Genghis Khan Brigade inflicted heavy damage on the British 1st Precision Rifle Regiment, and annihilated the battle queen squad accompanying the regiment, and also inflicted severe casualties on another British unit with an unknown number, and then the brigade retreated. Only the 3rd Battalion, which was tasked with feints to lure the enemy, suffered some casualties in the exchange of fire with British reinforcements, and 22 of the brigade's 108 infantry vehicles were damaged and 12 were completely destroyed. ”

Lin Youde nodded, this damage is acceptable, the Genghis Khan Brigade bears the name of the brigade, it is actually a reinforced regiment, mixed into an armored chasseur battalion that uses the infantry combat that has just been installed and an armored ranger battalion that uses jeep maneuvers, and also strengthens a battle Ji squad. This was the result of Lin Youde's attempt to form a mechanized rapid infantry unit, and it was quite good for the first time to fight in real combat.

Before Lin Youde came to the position, Sissi pulled out a chair, and Lin Youde sat down and continued to ask: "What about the other brigade?" ”

Erwin's face sank, and he glanced at Heinz before he reported: "On the way to the battlefield, the Iron Man Brigade encountered a small group of British troops camping in the forest, and they did not have any information about this British unit in advance. ”

Lin Youde raised his eyebrows. It's not surprising that Lin Youde's intelligence comes almost exclusively from lurking eyeliner in cities and villages and reports from NERV members, and it's all too normal that British troops camping in the wilderness have no relevant intelligence.

"And then?" Lin Youde asked, "Did they retreat?" ”

"No, they continued to attack forward. The brigade commander believed that the British army was vulnerable and could easily complete the attack and then retreat calmly. Although he did not choose the original target of the highest value, and instead attacked the second pre-selected target nearby, he was still met with a fierce counterattack by the prepared British troops, and the British warriors who had rushed to help in the battle outflanked them. By the time they returned to our front this morning, they had lost nearly half of their troops, and the formation of the unit had been completely disrupted, and it was no longer possible to fight without regrouping and replenishing the brigade. Fortunately, although the accompanying Zhan Ji lost four magic armors, the Zhan Ji herself retreated along the way. ”

Lin Youde pursed his lips. He was very familiar with the various regiments of the National Volunteer Division, because the stations of these regiments were all around Sanssouci Palace, and he usually went to inspect the combat preparations of these regiments when he had nothing to do, and many non-commissioned officers were also very familiar with him. Now hearing that one of the regiments has lost more than half of its formation, Lin Youde really feels bad in his heart, and the results obtained by the other regiment have become tasteless.

At this time, a general who Lin Youde did not know said: "It seems that your new concept troops had a draw with the traditional troops of the British army last night. ”

Lin Youde raised his head and glanced at the general, feeling that the gloating smile on this thing's face was too ugly.

At this time, Brauchitsch, who was sitting on Lin Youde's right hand, scolded: "The dead are all German soldiers, you are too ugly, Draco." ”

Lin Youde couldn't help but complain in his heart, saying that this product would not be surnamed Malfoy.

"Your Excellency," Lin Youde said to Brauchitsch, "does General Draco hold any key command position?" ”

"No, sir." Brauchitsch said he did not appear to intend to point out to Mr. Lin that it was incorrect to add the title "general" to a person's name, "He is a senior operational staff officer in the High Command." ”

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to ask General Draco to leave this war room for a while, this is not the place where staff officers should come, no matter how senior they are."

After Draco left the war room in a huff, the Chief of the Army General Staff, Hader, who had always been a little wrong with Lin Youde, said: "Theoretically, I'm just a senior staff officer, I wonder if I should also leave?" ”

"Hader!" Brauchitsch scolded sharply, "If you have any grievances, you will come back to me, now we will discuss combat operations first." ”

"Okay, okay." Hader turned his head to look at the map on the wall, as if he wasn't going to speak anymore.

The German army in this time and space was not completely disintegrated and reorganized after the end of the last war - after all, even the Kaiser was not brought down in the last war. Therefore, many of the German generals were still immersed in the "wonderful" fantasy of the military department dominating the war in the war, and they were very unconvinced by Lin Youde, a businessman, in the military field. Especially the staff officers of the General Staff, many of them disagree with Lin Youde's tactical thinking, and it is not the first time that the staff officers headed by Hader have contradicted Lin Youde.

Fortunately, Brauchitsch and other commanders who had experienced actual combat were different from the nerds of the General Staff, and they still quite agreed with Lin Youde's operational thinking, so they suppressed the dissatisfaction of the General Staff.

After this unpleasant episode, Brauchitsch said to Lin Youde: "We have summarized yesterday's battle report, and after studying it, we have come to the conclusion that the British army is inferior to our army in all aspects such as training level and equipment, and the combat effectiveness of a class of divisions of our army may be higher than that of an infantry corps of the British army. To sum up, I and several other generals agreed that we could hold Bremen. ”

Bremerhaven and Bremen, occupied by the British, are two different places, and Lin Youde discovered this when he was formulating the anti-invasion battle plan. The port of Bremerhaven is located at the mouth of the Weser River, and is about 60 kilometers away by land from Bremen, which is also located on the banks of the Weser River. Bremerhaven is just an ordinary port, because the Weser River is not low in shipping capacity, so many ships drive directly along the Weser River to the real Bremen, and the big ships that do not enter the Weser River will go to Hamburg at the mouth of the Elbe.

Although not as good as Hamburg, Bremen is still an important city in Saxony, with a well-developed industry and commerce, as well as a hub for shipping on the Weser River. Occupied by the British, the British supply unloading point could be moved directly to Bremen, so that the land supply lines of the British army would be greatly shortened.

Lin Youde didn't understand the generals' idea of wanting to defend Bremen, but he still said to Braucić in a resolute tone: "Your Excellency, of course it is okay to defend Bremen, but this will disrupt our original strategic plan." We need to pull and disperse the British forces and force them to throw more warriors into the land battlefield, so that our air force can have a chance to clean up the British fleet on the sea. ”

"I think it's better to hold on to every inch of ground than to believe in the Air Force's ability to attack ships, so that at least the war can enter a stalemate." Hader's tone was as strong as expected.

Lin Youde raised his voice: "No, sir, we can't enter into a stalemate, that would be very bad for us." We must drive the British into the sea within two months, and to do that, we must give Bremen out. In the rest of the operation, we will delay the British army step by step as planned, and then put up a day of fierce resistance in Bremen, and then retreat under the cover of night after nightfall, and this plan of operation will not change in any way, and you will not say any more. ”
