At the end of August 1939, the German Wehrmacht had no 8-hour work system, and the military discipline was very strict. Even the son of the Deputy Chief of Staff of the National Wehrmacht shall not violate the Junker Officer Group's emphasis on joining the army for generations. The army is full of the general's son, the Marshal's grandson, but they are equal in the face of military discipline.

After receiving a call from his boss, Major Werner Moldes, the commander of the First Naval Combat Aviation Regiment, Rudolf von Heinsberg Hessman said goodbye to his father and mother without saying a word, and rode his bicycle to the airport where the First Naval Combat Aviation Regiment was stationed.

He will be there as an intern officer. He is a graduate of the Junior Military Academy and Air Force Non-commissioned officer. After completing the supplementary training, he will get the rank of lieutenant and the supplementary pilot to experience the atmosphere of war personally. At the same time, he must also fly a Zero fighter jet at any time to meet the enemy... If the battle on the front line is not going well and the combat aviation regiment suffers heavy losses, he will go to the battlefield.

"Dear, I'm leaving too," Hessman looked at his son's back as he rode away. He said to his wife next to him until he disappeared at the end of the horizon. "There is an important meeting in the evening, and I'll not come back."

He could not return home for the time being because he was the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, and all the troops invading Poland were under his command. He would not return to Tsoson until the end of the Polish battle. However, the invasion of Poland was a military secret and could not be told Chloe.

"You are leaving too?" Chloe bit her lower lip gently. She already understood, "I understand! Dear, don't worry, I will take good care of my family, no matter what happens!"

Hessman watched his wife's history as the world war was defeated, and the men either died in battle or entered the prisoner-of-war camp. The burden of German revival would fall on women like Chloe.

"We will win this time!" Hessman said with great certainty. At least it will not be defeated! Because the nuclear fission phenomenon has not been announced, and Hitler also signed a funding order of up to 10 billion marks of uranium project (this is a top-secret project and will not be discussed in Congress).

"We will win!" Chloe nodded. "Dear, I'm waiting for your good news."

Half an hour later, General Hessman appeared in the General Staff again. Secretary of Defense Marshal Schletcher and Chief of Staff General Hammarstein had arrived. They stood in the combat room No. 1, standing in front of the huge sand table showing the overall situation, waiting for Hessman Hessman's deputy, and the first combat officer, General Hard Infantry, was also there, and he would take over as Deputy Chief of Staff after Hessman became the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front.

"Marson, General," Hessman raised his hand to the two of them, "General Hessman is waiting for your order!"

"Okay," Marshal Schletcher glanced at Hamestein. "You come on."

Hamelstein nodded and took out the order he and Schletcher jointly signed. "General Hessman, given the current situation on the Eastern Front and the invasion of the Polish Federation, the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff have studied and decided to establish the Eastern Front General Command during the Wartime, and you will be the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front during the Wartime!"

All armies participating in the battle against Poland on the Eastern Front, including the Southern Army Group, the Northern Army Group, the Boro's Army Group, the Eastern Front Air Force Command, and the Navy Boro's fleet are controlled by the Eastern Front General Command led by Hessman.

"Thank you for your trust, I won't let you down." Hessman took the order and raised his hand again.

The Eastern Front General Command was secretly established in Stettin on the Odd River as early as early August. Currently, the Eastern Front Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Manstein and the Operations Director Colonel Model. Communications and liaisons with various armies, armies, Eastern Front Air Force Command and the Baltic Fleet have been established. Just wait for Hessman to be in place to take over all command of the Eastern Front!

All 50 active infantry divisions deployed on the Eastern Front battlefield (because of the additional Boro army group, the number of troops invested was 8 more), including 30 infantry divisions, 3 mountain divisions, 7 armored divisions, 4 light armored divisions, 6 motorized infantry divisions and 1 cavalry brigade (semi-mechanized), ground troops, all of which were mobilized in the name of military exercises.

There are also a large number of reserve troops, including 16 divisions just formed and two divisions of the SS, who can be dispatched at any time.

At the same time, the Western Front Headquarters, commanded by Marshal Blomburg, was also established in Cologne. It commanded 26 active infantry divisions, and more than a dozen fortress garrisons entered the Ziegfeld defense line, waiting for the French team to come to the door to die, unless the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg were willing to break the neutrality immediately after the war broke out, or France and Britain were ready to invade them, otherwise the Western Front would be very safe. Because there is a large section of the French-German border that is bounded by the Rhine, and Germany is also a famous "Black Forest Area" on one side, which is not suitable for large army entry and exit.

What really facilitates French attack is that the German army needs to deploy heavy troops is just a section from the Luxembourg border to Karluser, the Rhine River. It is less than 150 kilometers. And it is the most solid section of the entire Ziegfeld defense line. If the French really want to attack, there will be many casualties and injuries!

Therefore, a quiet battle on the Western Front is almost inevitable.

...

"Comrade Captain! You... do you know how to command a tank brigade to fight?"

In a huge military camp near Minsk, the capital of the Belarusian Soviet Republic, there will be a heavy responsibility in a few days. Pavlov, who commanded eight tank brigades and three cavalry divisions to form a mechanized cavalry cluster to raid White Poland, looked at a young captain in front of him and asked with some worry.

This captain is the brigade commander of the 8th Independent Tank Brigade, Mikhail Yefimovic.*!

A captain actually became the brigade commander of the independent tank brigade who should have been the colonel. This kind of thing probably only happened in the Soviet Red Army. The brigade commander of the German armored brigade was all in his forties and major generals who had been in the army for 20 or 30 years (including in the Young Military Academy)!

But in the Soviet Union, people like this "child" Captain with a baby face who looks at most twenty-four or twenty-five (actually 27 years old) are brigade commanders, and there are many people who are the commanders.

Because most of the officers above majors in the Soviet Red Army have either been shot or are undergoing labor reform. Among many divisions and brigades, the highest officers in the military academy are captains. Among the eight brigade commanders and three division commanders under Pavlov, 5 are captains and 5 are majors.

"Report to Comrade Commander, I will definitely learn how to be a brigade commander seriously." Captain *fu replied loudly.

He graduated from Fulongzhi Military Academy. In June 1937, before the Great Purge Storm swept across the Red Army, he was also a lieutenant and deputy company commander of the Tank Company. He served in the First Mechanized Army established in 1932, and his official career can only be said to be ordinary. After all, he was just an ordinary officer with no background.

His father was an illiterate fitter, his mother was a housewife, and they both lived in the Lenin Revolution. Although it was the cradle of the revolution, the husband's father and mother were both honest people. They did not dare to lead the strike or participate in the revolutionary organization. They only knew how to live a life of peace and comply with themselves. They had never participated in the Red Army and the Red Guards.

In a place where revolutionary successors are gathered in Fulongzhi Military Academy, *fu can only be regarded as the most inconspicuous character. Moreover, his personality is a bit dull and his academic performance is not very good. He always gives people a silly feeling, and his interest in participating in political activities is not very high.

It was such a person who got into the lieutenant and the deputy company of the lieutenant, and even joined the Bolshevik Party. He was a cadre of all sizes, but he was actually satisfied.

But what stunned him began in the second half of 1937! The workers and peasants' Red Army had enemies everywhere, and the followers of His Majesty the Queen Oliga were everywhere!

Marshal Tukhachevsky is the queen's person, General Belov, the commander of the Belarusian Special Military Region, is also the queen's person, and then the commander of the First Mechanized Army where *fu is located. He is a hero who has made great achievements in the civil war and an idol worshipped by the entire Mechanized Army... He is actually also the loyal slave of His Majesty Oliga Nikolayevna!

Then a counter-revolutionary group that conspired to restore Tsarist Russia was excavated, and the brigade commander, regiment commander, battalion commander, and chief of staff of the First Mechanized Army were all discovered to be the Queen's people.

They were taken away from the military base by "Blue Hats" (interior staff)! It was so panic that even Comrade *fu, a small deputy company commander, was worried all day long, for fear that he was also Her Majesty the Queen.

Fortunately, the terrible days finally ended at the end of 1938. Then the First Mechanized Army was disbanded. Captain * (he was promoted to the first level in 1938) and several other captains suddenly discovered that they were the highest rank officers in the entire tank brigade...

So the captains who survived the disaster all ushered in their blessings.

*Captain Hu became a tank brigade commander who worried Pavlov very much!

Pavlov sighed softly, and now he only has the major or captain to use it. He said: "Comrade *Fu, you are willing to learn, which is very good... But now you are likely to learn in war, just like we did back then!"

As he said that, he took out a red envelope and handed it to Captain *'s husband, saying, "Open it on time at 12 noon on September 2! This is an order, and it must not be advanced!"
Chapter completed!
