In a simple marching tent in Choiba Mountain in the Outer Mongolia region of China, Guderian was squinting as one of his men read a telegram. The melee in Germany has shown no sign of ending so far. Affected by this, the entire European continent There was also chaos. The German Wehrmacht and the German SS were fighting, and it was not just the Germans who suffered. Although morally speaking, the German Wehrmacht could win more sympathy from Germans and even Europeans, but the SS However, it controls the underground world and the financial economy of most European countries in Europe. Therefore, except for the many European countries who stood up clearly to support the German Wehrmacht at the beginning, now more countries have chosen to remain silent. Perhaps from their hearts, They would rather see a lose-lose outcome.
Things have evolved to this point, which is naturally not Guderian's wish, but now it doesn't matter whether he regrets or is determined, because he is the culprit that caused Germany to fall into the current situation. He can no longer exert influence, let alone exert influence. If he rushes back to Germany, he may become a street rat.
A common problem among human beings is that they are prone to amnesia, and they always like not to cherish what they have, and regret it once they lose it. When Hitler was still alive, countless people in Germany were always cursing him to die immediately. , but now that he is really dead, they think of him again.
Of course, as the initiator of Hitler's death and Germany's current situation, Guderian really wanted to go back to Germany and even become the head of state. For example, Ouyang Yun has not withdrawn his promise to support him in becoming the next head of state of Germany. However, , Guderian himself believed that the last time he rashly launched an anti-Greek movement, he had fallen into Ouyang Yun's trap. In his words, you can't fall twice in the same place, but now he is not willing to do anything. I believe Ouyang Yun.
The telegram naturally came from the Chinese Supreme Command. As the commander-in-chief of the "German Volunteer Army", Guderian and his group of German officers have all been integrated into the command system of the Chinese army.
"No domestic matters were mentioned." Guderian asked after his men finished reading the telegram.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Guderian: "Then follow the order and immediately convene a meeting of officers above the brigade commander."
Frankly speaking, Ouyang Yun still values and trusts Guderian quite a lot. For example, the Mongolian Army is now completely under his command. For example, the Supreme Command only assigns a political director among the senior leaders of the Mongolian Army.
Of course, Chen Cheng and others raised objections to this, but they were pushed back by Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun's original words to refute them were: Let's talk about it. As far as the command level of the Chariot Group troops is concerned, our country has Who remembers Guderian?
Half an hour later, in this tent, the brigade commander and above officers of the Mongolian Army, headed by Li Zian, gathered. Li Zian was about thirty-five years old and held the rank of lieutenant general. He was as enviably young as Ouyang Yun. Starting from him, the following deputy commander-in-chief, chief of general staff, and deputy chief of general staff are all about thirty-five years old, and many of them even only hold the rank of major.
Low-ranking and high-ranking officials are a spectacle in the world's military circles. Chen Cheng and others still have great opinions on this. Low-ranking and high-ranking positions are just fine. What makes Chen Cheng and others find it unbearable is this purely young group. The proportion of Han officers in the national army is too small, less than one tenth. In Chen Cheng's words: Can this guarantee that this army will be loyal to the central government?
Many people say that the Chinese are the most tolerant nation in the world. In fact, the Chinese people's national narrow-mindedness is deep-rooted. Although they will not regard their national superiority as the Germans and Japanese do, Talking about it but always inadvertently revealing it in action is actually more likely to cause bad things. Precisely because of this taboo, Ouyang Yun decided to be generous to the end and not only summoned a group of senior officers previously sent by the Supreme Command Back, even the headquarters sent only Li Zian.
Ouyang Yun's unreserved trust, not to mention whether it actually won the hearts of the Mongolian officers, at least gained Guderian's trust. It is precisely for this reason that although Guderian was dissatisfied with Ouyang Yun's initial offer. He dug a hole for himself, but he was conscientious and very responsible when it came to the Mongolian Army.
Guderian's style has always been straight to the point, and everyone at the meeting was used to it, so when he directly issued an order and told everyone that there would be a major military operation in the near future, no one showed any strange emotions.
"...The paratroopers will cooperate with us in this strategy. What I need to emphasize now is that this is an air-ground coordinated operation. Therefore, everyone here including me needs to change their fixed thinking. We cannot simply think that this is just an ordinary operation. The battle..."
At the same time, a decisive battle of tank groups of unprecedented scale was taking place in Debrecen, Hungary, in Europe.
The two sides participating in the war, the attacking side is the African Front Army under the German Wehrmacht, and the defending side is the Eastern Front Army under the German SS. It is a very interesting thing, or because both sides participating in the war are Germans, it is like Just as Ouyang Yun and Koizumi Toshiichiro always deliberately let battles take place overseas, the civil war that broke out among the Germans has now continued, and the top brass of the German Wehrmacht and the SS have also begun to deliberately choose decisive battles abroad. As a result, other European countries But it was a disaster.
In this decisive battle, in terms of strength and equipment performance and quantity, the German Wehrmacht had an absolute advantage. Rommel responded to the call of the German Ministry of Defense and brought the North African Front from North Africa back to Europe to participate in the war. Along the way, he recruited too many German Wehrmacht and Part of the SS, so when he led his troops to appear at the border of Hungary and Ukraine, his troops already numbered 21 divisions and nearly 300,000 people, and his armored fighting vehicle troops numbered as many as seven. This division has more than 2,000 tanks and combat vehicles.
It is the pride of the German military. As the first country in the world to realize the advantages of armored cluster operations, German generals understand the significance and efficiency of armored cluster operations far better than generals from other countries, so they are always able to Establish unparalleled achievements in one field.
In the current war situation in Europe, Hungary is one of the few European countries controlled by the German SS. It is precisely based on this that the German Wehrmacht prioritizes conquering Hungary.
