Chapter 733 Seeking Comforter

Paulus's tone was so fierce that Colonel Adam was a little surprised. Paulus was not like this at all in ordinary times.

Colonel Adam moved his lips and seemed to want to say something, but faced with the fierce look on Paulus's face, he finally hesitated and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Perhaps because he saw something wrong with Colonel Adam's expression next to him, Paulus, who seemed to have no intention of speaking, thought for a moment and then spoke again.

"I understand your worries, Adam. But you have to remember that there is no final victory without enough blood. Every inch of land must be poured with saturated blood to grow enough food to feed our German people. These

The blood may be that of the Russians, but of course it may also be that of our German soldiers.”

"No matter what, we will be the final conquerors of this land. The head of state said that those rubbish Bolsheviks had such a big land but didn't know how to use it. It wasn't until I came to the land of Russia that I fully understood the head of state's words.

How correct."

Due to the unfavorable progress of the war on the front line, Paulus has been suffering from insomnia recently.

In addition to the sleeping pills prescribed by the doctor, Paulus also had his own exclusive spiritual therapy: silently reciting and listening to the teachings that the head of state had personally told him.

Dr. Goebbels said that the head of state is like a beacon, which can radiate his spiritual energy to everyone around him, cheer up people, and give the entire nation strength, determination and courage to win.

Paulus was not as eloquent as Dr. Goebbels, and he did not understand what the concept of demagoguery was all about. He just felt that what Dr. Goebbels said was quite reasonable, such as the current situation in Stalingrad.

When facing a temporary dilemma, the leader's words can give him strength in his heart.

Paulus became excited after repeating the words of the Führer, as if just repeating the Führer's words would wipe out a company of Soviet soldiers on the front line.

And by repeating the quotations of the head of state thousands of times, you can finally win the Battle of Stalingrad! Paulus felt excited about this and kept hinting to himself that this must be true, and that the head of state can take charge of the overall situation even from far behind.

, directing the entire line, his genius-like commanding art is infinitely better than that of those people in Berlin who are just sitting there and eating nothing!

Paulus just told Colonel Adam that he regarded himself as the practitioner of the will of the Führer. On this point, Paulus did not lie for some not simple purpose. At least for now, this is a question of conscience.

The unashamed truth.

I will do whatever the head of state orders me to do! As long as I carry out the head of state's orders and carry out the will of the head of state to the end, victory will definitely belong to us!

Paulus thought with excitement.

"Many years from now, our descendants will respect, remember, and mourn us because of our sacrifice and bravery today, Adam. All the efforts are absolutely worth it now!"

"Hesitation will only bring more casualties, but calmness and decisiveness can usher in the final victory."

"It is enough to remember that the sacrifices of those heroic soldiers were meaningful. What heroes should fear is not death, but meaningless death and being forgotten by future generations! What we are doing now is very important.

It makes sense. In other words, our soldiers will die well. Can you understand what I mean?"

Colonel Adam possessed all the fine qualities expected of a chief adjutant.

He was loyal, brave, and conscientious in doing things without compromise. Especially in executing orders, he always followed through to the end. This made Paulus very satisfied and he focused on training him. He was promoted to the position of his chief adjutant and became his right-hand man.

But strictly speaking, Colonel Adam and Paulus were not from the same faction, at least within the Wehrmacht it could be considered so.

Paulus was promoted by the head of state and entrusted with important tasks. He was a new general of the Wehrmacht who came from an ordinary background, while Colonel Adam, who was well-educated and well-educated, was an out-and-out member of the Junkers aristocratic officer corps faction.

The reason why the higher-ups sent him to stay with Paulus was to a certain extent a sign of distrust of Paulus, who was promoted by the head of state but lacked actual combat experience.

There had to be someone by his side at all times, keeping an eye on Paulus's every move, to prevent this guy from overheating and doing something outrageous, and Colonel Adam was undoubtedly the most suitable one.

The good superior-subordinate relationship and subtle friendship with Paulus almost made Colonel Adam forget his identity as a supervisor for a time. But seeing that Paulus had become a little crazy, Colonel Adam took a deep breath and still couldn't understand it.

Paulus boasted about the remarks of the Führer, and he gave an answer that even he didn't quite believe in his hesitation.

"I understand, General Paulus. You are right, we can do it, it just takes a little time, and we can satisfy the Führer."

Paulus hoped to use Colonel Adam's affirmative answer to appease his still agitated heart, so as to prove that his analysis and judgment were absolutely correct.

Although it sounds like self-deception, Paulus obviously achieved his goal.

With Colonel Adam's approval, Paulus became even more convinced that his plan was correct. After all, how could anything go wrong if he acted according to the will of the head of state? This was simply impossible.

"All this will end soon, it will! I will definitely make this evil city of Bolsheviks bow to the feet of Germany. This is how it should and must be."

Looking at the city smoke rising in the distance outside the window, Paulus, who firmly believed that everything was going according to plan, regained his confidence in victory as never before. This was because Paulus always believed that the Führer was absolutely correct, that's all.

Paulus, who was at the army headquarters, relied on self-comfort and the approval of others to gain inner peace, but Major General Osheim, who had also just put down the phone, was in a completely different situation at this time.

The situation is great.

"Such an order is simply crazy! I bet if it is carried out like this, our casualties will be three times as many as this morning by the time the sun goes down, or even more! When did we start?

Like those Russians who don’t care about the lives of soldiers? This is impossible! I can’t believe this is true, yes, it is definitely not true!”

Major General Osheim, who repeated Paulus's order on the phone in full, had a lifeless look on his face, closed his eyes and remained silent, while his partner, the Chief of Staff, was dancing as if he was suffering from epilepsy.
