Chapter 249? Sudden Summons
"Old Earl?" When Reinhardt saw Earl Ferdinand again in the air raid shelter, his face was full of surprise. How could Earl Ferdinand appear here at this time? Shouldn't he be responsible for resisting the polar bear's attack with the army?
"Hello, Werner, Hans, the veteran general!" Earl Ferdinand greeted members of the Reinhart family one by one.
Although most members of the Reinhardt family have been evacuated except for Berlin, the three most important members of the entire family are still in Berlin.
Werner Reinhardt is now a lieutenant colonel of Hydra. Although Hans Reinhardt was deprived of all his posts, he was still the Imperial Marshal not long ago, and Williamson Reinhardt retired shortly after the end of World War I. Although he was not yet old at that time, he had to retreat under the strict restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles.
Of course, Williamsley Inhart is still older than Count Ferdinand, while Count Ferdinand is slightly older than Hans Reinhart. In fact, if you talk about your identity, even compared to the Imperial Marshal, Count Ferdinand, who was born in the royal family, is not bad at all.
After all, for now, the Empire has several marshals of the various front armies alone, not to mention those marshals who have retreated and no longer held military power. If we include the highest leader, and the marshals of the Army, Air Force and Navy, the number is at least more than ten.
It is precisely because of this that even if Reinhardt, the marshal of the Northern Army, was dismissed, the empire would still be able to make up for it soon.
The busy Reinhardt family was surprised at the appearance of Count Ferdinand, and it was now helping ordinary civilians in the empire to maintain order in the air-raid shelter. It was really surprising that Earl Ferdinand suddenly appeared here as the war was becoming increasingly fierce outside.
Reinhardt subconsciously glanced outside the air raid shelter. The polar bear planes outside passed by the low altitude and dropped bombs to cause you to explode, and the sound of heavy artillery bombardment that roared from time to time, still rang in the whole city. At first, Reinhardt hadn't noticed something strange, but soon he realized something was wrong.
"Why is there no gunshot?" Reinhardt's sudden words made the other two people in the Reinhardt family stunned at first, and then a trace of doubt rose on everyone's faces.
They were all senior figures in the Imperial Army and had fought hard on the battlefield. Of course, they were very aware of the strangeness here.
For polar bears, the most important thing they are now to seize the entire Berlin. If on the first day, they used planes and cannons to bombard all solid defenses inside and outside the city without dispatching any infantry, all this would be reasonable. However, the war has been going on for several days in a row, but suddenly there is only the attack of planes and cannons, and there is no sound of gunfire from infantry. This is not right.
Although in the whole city, in addition to the polar bear troops, there are also soldiers from the Empire. All the polar bear infantry are withdrawn, and the imperial soldiers will naturally not shoot and pursue them. After all, the logistics supply in the whole city is very weak, and one bullet is less than one bullet. If all the polar bear soldiers are withdrawn, they will not continue to shoot. Keep one more bullet, and the entire city can stay in their hands for one more day.
Although the entire city of Berlin is now surrounded by millions of troops from all countries, and although everything seems desperate, their supreme leader still has some means, and in a few words, all the soldiers' fighting spirit is aroused, and most importantly, he gives everyone hope of victory.
At the beginning, the Empire also had millions of troops besieged Moscow, Stalingrad and Leningrad cities, but when winter arrived, the Empire immediately fell into a disadvantage, and it was even in the end that the Empire was completely defeated on the polar bear battlefield because of winter.
Nowadays, Berlin is in the same situation, but they can still ease the situation of the empire by waiting for the arrival of winter.
After all, at this time, not only did the Germans and polar bears have only one last breath to support, but the same was true for the Allied forces of the British, American and French countries. Although their logistics resources are still being transported continuously, their soldiers are already quite exhausted.
In fact, modern warfare, on the surface, looks like competition between advanced weapons, logistics supplies and strategic tactics of various countries, but everything lies in the competition of soldiers' fatigue.
Which country can defeat Denmark and Norway like the soldiers of the Japanese Empire, and then attack the Netherlands, Belgium and France. After a full year of air battles in the English Channel, it turned out to launch a war against the polar bears for nearly two years. The soldiers were already exhausted, so they were finally driven back by people, and millions of people were lost to the land.
However, the soldiers of the German Empire were tired, and the soldiers of the polar bears and the British and American Allied forces were tired. They just because they could see victory was ahead, so they gritted their teeth and persevered. The imperial army could last until today, and the title of the world's No. 1 Army was well deserved.
Earl Ferdyland just smiled kindly and did not answer Reinhardt's question. He just said to the other two generals Reinhardt: "I need to take Werner out. There may be a few days. I have my safety here, so don't worry."
After all, Reinhardt belonged to the empire and was a lieutenant colonel officer. Although there was a little intention of throwing it aside, he could only follow the rules after the military order.
Reinhardt didn't say much. With Earl Ferdinand in front of him, nothing he said was inappropriate, so he could only nod, comfort the two elders a few words, and then followed Earl Ferdinand to leave the underground air-raid shelter.
In fact, whether for Marshal Reinhardt or for Veteran General Reinhardt, they are still in Berlin and have the intention to live and die with Berlin.
As for Werner Reinhardt, with his own special identity, it is difficult to avoid the battle in front of him unless he escapes before the war begins. However, if he really escapes, the Berlin family will probably not have a good time.
However, since they have entered Berlin, everyone is also prepared to live and die with the entire city. Marshal Hans Reinhart and Veteran General Reinhart are both used to life and death. Naturally, there will be no feelings of love between parents and children at this time. They are more concerned about what happens outside.
"Did those people have already started contacting outside and preparing to surrender?" The old general walked down from the battlefield of World War I. At the end of World War I, they had experienced such scenes, and there are inevitably some similar associations now.
"No, if there is a British and American coalition outside who are afraid that Berlin will be the British and American coalition forces, this is possible, but the outsiders are all polar bears. Even if they surrender, they will not end well, and they are not that far." Marshal Reinhardt saw the situation more clearly.
Under the current circumstances, even the polar bears themselves are unwilling to accept surrender without killing enough German soldiers; and similarly, for the German Empire, they are not at the end of their lives, and even if they want to surrender, they will not choose the polar bear.
"Will it be related to the competition at that level?" After all, the veteran general came from World War I. The use of extraordinary power on the battlefield of World War I was much more frequent than on the battlefield of World War II, and it also had much more effect, so he couldn't help but think of that point.
But at this moment, it is difficult for extraordinary abilities to play a decisive role under the bombardment of aircraft cannons, so Marshal Hans Reinhart did not think of this. Now that he mentioned it, a trace of doubts arose in his heart, and he also knew much more.
But no matter what, the situation inside and outside Berlin is very strange now.
