Back to Europe.

The April battle was more difficult than Lin had expected.

The new commander of the Russian front, Govorov, took an active defense, causing a lot of trouble for Lin Youde's army, and according to the intelligence of the Eye of Odin, he even personally arrived at the front line to instruct the Russian army to set up artillery sniper positions to block the German offensive. In addition to this, the mud of the snowmelt guide zhì also caused great trouble for the German army.

Thanks to this, the Germans lost more tanks in the April offensive than the German staff had estimated, but the Germans eventually completed their task and took the area around Lublin firmly into their own hands.

At the end of May, Army Group B Headquarters reported to Lin Youde that preparations for the attack had been completed and that the attack could be launched only when the weather improved.

After consulting with the meteorological department, Lin Youde set the day of the attack on June 6.

Also at the end of May, the industrial sector reported a labour shortage as a result of a large number of young and middle-aged people being requisitioned by the army. So Lin Youde signed an order to encourage women to enter the factory to participate in production, and at the same time make all industries open to women.

On the first of June, Lin Youde's wives and magic armor all moved to Lublin, and the Russian army did not notice this until June 3rd.

Iron Ji's movements made Lin Youde sure that the Russian army's judgment of the direction of the German army's main attack was as he expected: the Russian army must have thought that the German army would outflank the main Russian army in Poland.

It seems that the month-long deception campaign has had an effect, and the fake combat vehicles made of wood deployed on the front line and the unrestrained shells spilled on the heads of the Russian defenses north of Lublin have finally had some effect.

**

In the early morning of June 6, Lin Youde was still sitting in his office at Sanssouci Palace.

Nia on the couch yawned heavily.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep, don't hold on."

"No, I promised my sister to protect my father." Nia said as she raised her hands and made a gesture of forcibly opening her eyelids with her hands.

The daughter's funny made Lin Youde curl the corners of his mouth.

Nia continued: "I said Dad, the front-line attack has nothing to do with you, why do you have to stay up late. Is it possible that you still have to skip the command? ”

"Of course not." Lin Youde immediately replied, "It's taboo to skip the command, and all those who like to do this will not end well." ”

For example, a certain perfect man through the ages.

"So what are you holding on to here, Dad?" Nia yawned again.

Lin Youde looked at Nia, although he wanted to continue to wait for the attack to start, but his pity for his daughter still prevailed. So he stood up and said to Nia, "You're right, let's go to sleep." ”

At this moment, Lin Youde's desktop phone rang.

Lin Youde was excited and picked up the phone: "I'm Lin Youde, what's wrong?" ”

"Mr. Lin, there is an urgent report from the Eye of Odin, the Russian army has known that our army is entering the starting point of the attack, and has issued an order to the front-line troops to prepare for battle."

Lin Youde raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Don't tell anyone about this news, just record it." ”

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

As soon as Lin Youde put down the phone, Nia asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"The Russians have detected some clues and have ordered the troops to go into a state of alert, but it doesn't matter, it's still in our plans. It is impossible for an offensive plan of such a scale not to leak out at all, especially when the large army begins to enter the starting position, and the Russians' night infiltration reconnaissance team will definitely detect the movement of our troops. Lin Youde paused and added, "Maybe they will catch some unlucky officer and bring him back to Russia for interrogation." ”

"That'...... Dad, do you still want to go to sleep? ”

"Of course, Nia, you're right, even if I'm in the office tonight, there's not much I can do, and if something really happens that I have to decide, then just let the staff wake me up." Lin Youde said as he walked towards the door, and Nia also jumped up from the sofa and ran over to hold Lin Youde's hand.

"Then I'm going to sleep with my dad too!" She smiled and said, "I haven't slept in the same bed with my dad for a long time, so I'll make an exception today." ”

"Okay." Lin Youde responded with a smile and pushed open the office door at the same time.

Lydia pushed the small station with a late night snack outside the door, and she seemed taken aback when she saw Lin Youde come out.

"What's wrong? Are you going to rest? ”

"Uh, yes."

As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Lydia lowered her head in disappointment.

"It's rare that I've prepared a supper, so I'll come over early."

Lin Youde reached out and touched Lydia's belly, which was already bulging obviously, and said to Lydia softly: "Just share the supper with the servants on night duty tonight, it won't be wasted." ”

"Well, okay." Lydia smiled at Lin Youde, "However, isn't today an important day, is it okay to go and rest like this?" ”

"No problem, no problem!" Niya, who was holding Lin Youde's arm, interjected beside him, "Dad is actually a bare-bones commander now, and it has nothing to do with commanding the troops, he just likes to enjoy the atmosphere as if he is commanding." ”

"You know that!" While Lin Youde complained about his daughter, a wry smile appeared on his face, "But it's true, I'm just enjoying that atmosphere." You know, when I was a kid, I loved the headquarters in the movie...... Ah......h

Lin Youde suddenly remembered that Lydia didn't know that he was a time-traveler, and it would be bad if Lydia got up and asked what movie it was, after all, the film industry in this time and space is not as developed as in later generations, and there are very few films with headquarters scenes - in fact, Lin Youde is not sure if there are any movies in this era that capture the scene of the army headquarters.

However, Lydia didn't notice this problem at all, and Lin Youde didn't think too much about it at all. Lydia pushed the trolley to the office door and stopped against the wall, then took Lin Youde's free other hand, squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Then, I will continue to occupy your arm tonight." I wanted to sleep until now, but I couldn't sleep when I was alone in bed. ”

As soon as Lin Youde wanted to reply, he heard a voice beside him, turned his head and saw Oh Sauce flipping open the metal lid on the cart, grabbing the supper prepared by Lydia for Lin Youde with his hand, and stuffing it directly into his mouth.

Oh-chan's cheeks bulged and squirmed slightly, she turned her head to look at Lin Youde, and after meeting her gaze, she raised her hand holding another piece of cake: "Oh? ”

It seems that he is asking Lin Youde if he wants to come to a piece.

Lin Youde shook his head, but at this time Nia said, "Why don't we go to rest after eating supper!" ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Lydia immediately chimed in, "Honey, you've been busy until now, your stomach should be empty, right?" ”

"I think it's actually Lydia, you're hungry and want something to eat, right?"

Lin Youde's words made Lydia laugh and stuck out her tongue slightly.

The girl's playful appearance made Lin Youde's mood happy.

And at this moment, there are still three and a half hours before the offensive is launched.
