"I've gathered you here today because I want you to join the newly formed Imperial Guards.”
Adolf said to the four of them.
"You mean we should leave the National Defence Force?”
Manstein was a little surprised. He was born into a Prussian noble family and had received a good military education. He was taught from a young age that the interests of the country were above everything else. The new army formed by Adolf, the Imperial Guards, belonged to the head of state's personal army, not the country.
"Oh, no, no, no. You are not within the scope of consideration of the Imperial Guards, Erich.”
Adolf said," Your talents are more suitable for the planning and command of large-scale battles. Therefore, I have decided to promote you to Major General of the National Defense Force and transfer you to the General Staff of the Army as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army.”
" What?!"
He had thought that Adolf would roar because of his resistance, but now Manstein knew that he was wrong. It seemed that the head of state really thought highly of him.
"Thank you for your appreciation!"
Manstein usually did not laugh easily, but at this moment, he could not hide the joy in his heart.
"Okay, then you can report to the General Staff tomorrow.”Adolf smiled as he sent Manstein off.
"As for you, Erwin and Heinz, it's been hard on you for so many years.”Adolf said to the two of them.
"I've read your book 'Infantry Offensive.' I think highly of your military ideology of attacking, attacking, and attacking again.”Adolf said to Rommel.
"Oh my god! Was this for real? You actually read my book!"
Rommel almost cried tears of joy. He didn't expect that a low-ranking officer like him would be so favored by the Supreme Head of State.
" Not only have I read it, but I've also studied it. I agree with your statement that if you don't have enough troops, you have to suppress the enemy with firepower. Intense firepower is the key to victory, but I have a suggestion for you.”
Adolf encouraged.
"Great Ruler, please guide me!”
Rommel's face was red. He was too excited. He didn't expect the head of state to be so familiar with his thoughts. It seemed that he had met a soulmate.
Adolf smiled to himself. He had never read Rommel's book. These were just words he often said when he was a keyboard warrior in his previous life. Of course, for him, knowing this was enough to win over this future general star.
As for Rommel himself, he was also a person who loved honor more than life. He liked others to flatter him, and now Adolf had perfectly used this point.
" Even if we don't find the exact target of the other party, we have to strike first. This is because the concentration of time is more important than the concentration of space. Speed is enough to offset the advantage of numbers. Agility can be seen as a tool for surprise attacks. In a narrow front, a large number of tanks are used to carry out high-speed sudden attacks. Tanks are the best tool.”
Adolf said seriously.
This was actually Rommel's realization after the end of the French war, but he had not reached that step yet. As a latecomer, Adolf, or Xiao Rui, knew it like the back of his hand.
"Thank you for your teachings!"
Rommel stood up straight and said loudly.
"Oh my god! Did God send you to save the Empire?!”
At this time, Guderian, who had not had a chance to speak, said loudly," I have never heard any general express the idea of rapid surprise attacks by armored troops. You are really ahead of the times!”
"Thank you." Adolf smiled." Now, gentlemen, the main point is that I'm about to form a new Imperial Guard. Due to our limited industrial capacity, most of the orders I've placed with the military industry can't be produced now, but I've already given special orders to prioritize the production of new tanks to equip the Imperial Guard.”
"As for you, you will become the first commanders of this new army.”
Adolf said seriously," The armored division of the National Defense Force is only a part of the organization at the moment, but their tanks are still far from being equipped. Our Imperial Guards can be equipped with new tanks.”
These words made them eager to try, thinking that they had actually encountered such a good thing.
"I'll give the order now!"
Adolf cleared his throat and said.
"Swoosh!" The officers stood up together.
" Set up the 1st Special Armored Division of the Imperial Guards. Rommel will be the division commander and promoted to major general. He will have 450 new tanks under his jurisdiction."
"The 2nd Imperial Guards Special Armor Division will be formed. Guderian will be the division commander and will be promoted to major general. He will be in charge of 450 new tanks.”
"Set up the Imperial Guards Paratroopers, with Situ Dengte as the commander and promoted to colonel, specialized in training soldiers for airborne combat.”
Adolf looked at them with satisfaction.
" In addition, Rommel will be appointed as the deputy dean of the Berlin Military Academy, Guderian as the director of the armored forces, and a paratrooper school will be established in Bava. Student will be the principal.”
"Yes, Chancellor!"
The three of them answered in unison.
After they left, Adolf sat back at his desk and flipped through the paper data given by the system.
"In terms of weapons, we have to solve the problem of infantry first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to solve the problem of urban street fighting with just tanks.”
Adolf fiddled with the blueprints of these light weapons and called the attendant room.
