"I've read your proposal. It's very well written. An armored division with 400 tanks, two armored divisions and two mechanized divisions will form an armored army of about 60,000 people. I'm going to appoint you as the commander of this armored army!”
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he looked at Gordian.
Gordian had been the commander of the Second Armored Army of the Central Army Group during the Battle of Furybear Sko, and his military rank was a general. Now, he was the commander of a small armored army, which was naturally a demotion.
Therefore, Lin Yu wanted to see how Gordian would react to his appointment!
Unexpectedly, Gordian accepted this arrangement, which was obviously a demotion to many people. He was even very happy!
"Really? Princeps, are you really willing to give me a brand new armored army?”
Lin Yu nodded. As the head of the dynasty, he naturally could not speak without thinking. He naturally meant what he said!
"Of course. How about it? Are you willing to accept this appointment?”
Lin Yu said to Gordian with a smile. Gordian's performance just now had won Lin Yu a lot of favor, which made Lin Yu admire this pure soldier even more.
"Of course, Ruler, just wait and see. I will definitely let those who underestimate us have a taste of our power!”
Gordian's face was flushed red, and he was so happy that he almost danced.
Ever since the defeat of Furybearsko, Gordian had been dismissed from his post and had been idle at home for more than a year!
To Gordian, this one year felt like decades!
When he had nothing to do at home, he could hear all kinds of battle reports from the front line every day. Every battle report could arouse Gordian's interest!
When the news of victory came from the front line, Gordian was so happy that he danced and danced in joy. He put himself in the position of the commander of the front line and thought about how to expand the results of the battle and how to defeat more enemies!
When the news of defeat or defeat came from the front line, Guderian was depressed and worried. He thought about how to defend and reduce losses if he was the commander. He wondered if he had the opportunity to organize a counterattack when the enemy was careless.
Just like that, Gordian spent a long year!
Even though he had held an important position and was a well-known general, when he came to Berlin to meet the Ruler, Guderian's goal was very low.
As long as Princeps could accept him, he would be very happy. Even if Princeps did not reinstate his position and let him stay in the headquarters as a military adviser, he would be able to accept it!
Moreover, the head of state actually wanted to give him a brand new armored army. How could Gordian be dissatisfied with such treatment?
Lin Yu was naturally very happy that Gordian had such a high fighting spirit.
He placed Manstein in the position of commander-in-chief of the Southern Army Group and met Manstein. His purpose was to cultivate a force that was absolutely loyal to him.
Lin Yu's attitude towards Gordian was the same.
However, he didn't plan to promote Guderian at once; instead, he planned to observe him. The next battle would be Guderian's performance. If Guderian had an outstanding performance on the battlefield, he would be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Central Army Group!
At that time, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army Group would be Model, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army Group would be Guderian, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army Group would be Manstein, and the commander-in-chief of the African Army Group would be Rommel.
The four famous generals of the empire were promoted and put in important positions, while the power of the National Defense Force and the Junker nobles was pushed out. As a result, the threat of the Junker nobles and the National Defense Force to Lin Yu was much smaller, and he could smoothly carry out the purge!
As early as 1941, a group of people from the National Defense Force had already begun planning to assassinate the head of state.
He had also put his assassination plans into action many times after that!
Lin Yu, a transmigrator, was naturally aware of this matter. Therefore, he planned to immediately start clearing the country after obtaining a great victory at the front line!
To resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the country. This sentence made some sense. If the traitors of the National Defense Force in the country were allowed to exist, Lin Yu's own safety would be difficult to guarantee!
As it was too late, Lin Yu and Gordian did not talk for too long.
However, the next morning, Lin Yu sent someone to find Gordian.
Gordian admired Princeps for getting up and starting work before six o'clock. It was only February, the coldest season of the year.
Many people were probably still asleep at six o'clock!
As for Princeps?
Not only was he awake, but he had also started working!
"I've read your plan. I'll give you an armored division according to your request!”
On the way to the military base, Lin Yu had a brief chat with Gordian.
Lin Yu was basically the one talking while Gordian was listening.
When he heard that Lin Yu was going to give him an elite armored army equipped with new tanks, Gordian's face was filled with excitement!
He could not wait any longer!
The car stopped outside a huge warehouse. A dozen soldiers walked forward and opened the warehouse.
And in the warehouse, there were 800 brand new tanks neatly placed!
"Ah, this, this is a Tiger Tank?”
Gordian was very familiar with armored tanks. He immediately recognized the model of the tank in front of him.
"Eh? Something didn't seem right. The cannon of the Tiger tank wasn't so thick, and the armor wasn't slanted. Moreover, this tank looked slightly smaller than the Tiger tank.”
As expected of the father of armor. When Guderian took a closer look, he immediately recognized that this was not a Tiger tank. It only looked a little like a Tiger tank, but not a real Tiger tank!
"That's right, this is indeed not a Tiger tank. This is an improved version of the Tiger tank. I call it the Tiger King tank!”
"Tiger King? Tiger King, good name!"
After Gordian recited it, he immediately accepted this domineering name!
The German tanks were already very aggressive, such as the Tiger and Leopard tanks. The Tiger King tank was a step further on the foundation of the former and was even more aggressive!
Not only was the name of this tank more domineering, but it also looked much more powerful than the Tiger Tank!
For a moment, Guderian was full of expectations for his armored army. He was looking forward to the outstanding performance of the armored army equipped with such advanced equipment on the battlefield!
