"Are you Mr. Erich, the head of state's magic advisor?" General Lundstedt looked at the young man in front of him and frowned slightly.
As an orthodox German soldier, especially one from the Junker aristocracy, Lundstedt did not like necromancy, which he felt was detrimental to the honor of a soldier.
Moreover, although the young man in front of him also came from a noble family and had Feng in his name, he did not give Lundstader a very good feeling. It was as if there was another face hidden under his face, which made the old general
Feeling very uncomfortable.
However, although he personally did not like the young man in front of him, Lundstedt's integrity as a soldier and Junker nobleman still prevented him from letting his personal likes and dislikes affect his judgment and business affairs. After the young man in front of him introduced himself, he
Asked: "I remember that you just graduated from Egypt and returned to China not long ago. Is there any mission for the head of state to transfer you to France?"
"Yes, Your Excellency General." The young man known as Erich could certainly sense that Lundstedt was displeased with him, but he was obviously not qualified to serve in a military major like Lundstedt.
There is no right to dissatisfaction in front of him, even if he is personally appointed by the head of state.
Therefore, Erich directly stated the reason why he came to the battlefield: "The head of state is not satisfied with the progress our army has made in France. He hopes that the military can take over France as soon as possible, so he specially appointed me to bring the Undead Legion."
, hoping to open up the situation through the undead army."
"Undead Legion?" Upon hearing this name, Lundstaeder's face turned ugly.
As the commander-in-chief of the German army when they attacked Poland, he certainly knew about this undead army.
If we only talk about the combat effectiveness of this unit, Lundstedt is of course very satisfied. After all, what general would not like a unit that is brave and fearless of death?
However, the incident of the undead army eating living people in Warsaw made Lundstadter's favorable impression of this army drop to a freezing point, and also made his view of necromancy extremely bad.
As a traditional soldier, Lundstedt may still have some traditional chivalry in his bones, but he is very disgusted with this kind of unscrupulous fighting method.
If the undead army was not a friendly force, he would even want the troops to turn their guns and destroy them.
However, the order from the head of state himself still made the old general endure his temper and said to the young man in front of him: "I will personally report to the head of state about this battle. There is no need for those undead people here! And your numbers are
It is limited, and the role it can play on the battlefield is not great, but the international impact it causes is very bad.
The cannibalism in Warsaw last time has had a very bad impact on our country's international image. I should have reported this to the head of state. Why would the head of state send you here?"
Although Lundstedt was a stereotyped soldier, he was by no means a stubborn and conservative guy. Otherwise, he would not have held important responsibilities at the top of the German army from World War I to World War II.
He may remain absolutely loyal to the country and leader to whom he has sworn allegiance, but he is by no means the kind of person who is foolishly loyal.
And as a traditional soldier, he did not want the soldiers he commanded to turn into man-eating monsters. Such troops were by no means the German army he recognized.
In fact, veteran soldiers like Rundstedt who survived Germany's most difficult years after World War I are proud of being members of the Wehrmacht. The sense of honor and mission of the military has always restrained the traditions of these older generations.
behavior of soldiers.
Gu Wen
Although in the original history, as the war continued, more and more soldiers lost their bottom line, at least at the beginning of the war, there were still many soldiers who adhered to basic morality and honor.
Although veteran generals like Lundstedt hated what Britain and France did to Germany during World War I, they were not yet ready to use man-eating monsters on the battlefield.
Of course, this is also because the German army has not suffered many defeats yet, and it is a time when military morale is strong.
Especially since they had just destroyed Poland in just one month. This was the fastest time to destroy a country in the history of human warfare. For the German army, it was enough to make them extremely proud.
Therefore, even the generals of the German army did not bother to use any evil methods.
They believe that their soldiers and troops can solve all problems. Even if they encounter temporary setbacks, it is not the problem of the soldiers, but the strategic layout mistakes of the generals.
German soldiers have always been excellent and trustworthy, especially those soldiers who, even in Germany's most difficult times, still chose to retire voluntarily to leave their precious active duty positions to more important technical and command talents. They
Every one of them is good.
Rundstedt had always trusted his soldiers so much, and the German soldiers had never let the old general down.
But these obviously had nothing to do with Erich. He just twitched the corners of his eyes, and then repeated emphatically to Lundstedt: "This is the order of the head of state, General."
"The order of the head of state? Of course I know it is the order of the head of state. You don't need to use the head of state to pressure me." Lundstedt didn't even bother to write a superficial article, facing the young man in front of him who was just a technical major.
The man said in a bad tone: "The order given by the head of state to you is to help the front line to open up the situation, but he did not say to let you do your own thing, so you still have to obey my order.
The order I am giving you now is to stand by behind the battle lines, prepare for battle, and maintain combat readiness until I give you a new order to allow you to enter the battlefield! Are you clear?"
Erich's face twitched unnaturally, but faced with Lundstedt's tough attitude and momentum, he could only hold back his emotions, stood up straight and said: "Listen clearly
, General.”
"Very good, then go and execute the order! Take your troops with you." Lundstedt nodded with satisfaction, looking at Erich who looked unconvinced, but still obeyed the order and left.
, and then whispered: "As long as I am alive, I will not allow those man-eating monsters to tarnish the honor of the German soldiers."
Outside Rundsted's office, Erich apparently heard the old general's words. There was an abnormal red light in his eyes, and his eyes looked crazy and dangerous.
However, he did not take any action at this time, he just lowered his head and left the headquarters.
Although he is now the magical advisor to the head of state, and can also be called a popular person in front of the head of state, he is still far behind a high-ranking military executive like Lundstaeder. He must cultivate
Only by building up your own power and seizing the opportunity to climb up can you have the opportunity to compete with an old general like Lundstaeder.
