Chapter 10 Harvest

When Chentian's convoy drove into the castle, the sky gradually darkened and the castle had already started to hold lights. In this era when electric lights were sparse and expensive, even Chentian's castle still had candles lighted, and only the large crystal chandeliers in the hall had been replaced with high-powered electric lights. This dinner was set up in the castle hall, and the back garden was also arranged as a place for people to take a walk after dinner, taste desserts and red wine. Young officers could also take the opportunity to have a day with their favorites.

Chen Tian felt very uncomfortable when he got out of the car. Seeing him and Thomas frowning, Lisa and Mrs. Thomas were both startled.

"Your Highness, General Thomas, what's wrong with you?" Lisa walked to Chen Tian and asked softly.

Chen Tian looked up at Thomas, and Thomas also looked at Chen Tian. Both of them found that the other party had a bitter face and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Okay, Thomas, let's think about this after the dinner is over. Don't wipe out everyone's pleasure!" Chen Tian said and looked around. The dinner started at six o'clock, and the guests who had already arrived here were already here.

"Yes! I think about the question that dancing will step on someone else's feet. Princess, can you enjoy your face and dance in a while?" Thomas returned to his former tone.

"Happiness is so great!" Lisa replied with a smile.

Chen Tian then realized that Lisa was wearing a lilac floor-dress tonight, like a beautiful and noble violet, with golden hair tied behind her head, her light and delicate eyebrows having the right curvature, her small eyes were as fascinating as crescents, and her small nose was still as charming as when she first met.

There was a cute little blue water lily beside Lisa, and Little Sasha blinked and was looking at herself.

Chen Tian felt an inexplicable feeling of warmth, and he immediately threw away all his worries. He bent down and picked up the little princess, "My little Sasha, do you miss your father?"

As soon as the little princess came up, she studied Chen Tian’s naked chin with her hands, “Beard?”

"Haha, my little princess, didn't you say you were stabbing someone last time? I just shaved it off this morning!" Chen Tian held Xiao Sasha and turned to Mrs. Thomas, "Oh, beautiful lady, you are getting more and more beautiful! Where are your ladies?"

"Dear Prince, they are watching your youngest son sleeping!" Mrs. Thomas replied with a smile.

"Oh! Andreth, he really likes to sleep!" Chen Tian felt that he was always energetic when he was over one year old, but Andreth was not like him at all. He seemed to have decided to sleep early in the future and spend more time on useful things in the future.

Lisa smiled and looked at the father and daughter playing. She felt that Chen Tian had changed a lot compared to before when she came back, especially her calm and confident face, which added a lot of vicissitudes. When he discussed issues with the generals, his face would be as cold as steel, and his eyes would occasionally emit cold gazes. Perhaps this was the result of the whole person becoming more determined after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire. However, when he returned to the middle of his family, Chen Tian would become as kind as before.

"No, the ladies of General Thomas' family played with him for an afternoon and fell asleep half an hour ago! Come on, Sasha, don't bother your father, go play with the ladies!"

Chen Tian gently kissed the little princess' forehead, then put her down, and a maid next to him came over and led her to Thomas' daughters.

"Oh, the guests are here!" Lisa looked outside and several cars were driving into the gate outside the castle.

"Your Highness, guess who is in the first car!"

Chen Tian turned his head to look at Thomas. He still had the same cold expression on his face, but a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Chen Tian was so familiar with this person. His tiny expression was telling himself: Good thing, this is a good thing!

"It can't be Oli!" Chen Tian was dizzy just now by the spy incident. At this time, there were not many brain cells to continue guessing about other things.

"Of course not, didn't you ask me to find some people for you?" Thomas turned around and looked at Chen Tian.

"I asked you to find people, Dunitz, Manfred Richthofen, Rommel, Manstein, but so far you have only helped me find the first two! Are you saying that you found one of the second two?" Chen Tian suddenly became excited, and he also understood that it was not easy to find two people among millions of German troops with an incomplete name. The entire battle had undergone tremendous changes due to his arrival. These talented people were likely to be lost in the public because they did not get the right development opportunity, or were unfortunately caught in a certain battle, which was something that Chen Tian did not want to see, but Chen Tian did not remember the birth background of these people and the troops they originally served.

Back then, the search for Denitz was thanks to Tirpitz and the Admiralty Department's strong assistance, and Manfred was quickly found because of his baron status, but the two behind him were still missing. In Chen Tian's mind, the first two sea and air heroes were of course important, while the last two army geniuses were what he dreamed of the most.

"Yes, what I was going to tell you in the afternoon was that I was disturbed by the Japanese spy! I found it, and both of them were found! You may not believe it. They are both serving in your army now. This is why we have been searching for other army units, but we can't find them!" Thomas showed a rare smile, "Now you are finally satisfied!"

Chen Tian didn't know what to say at once. He praised Rommel and Manstein for their good results in World War II. For their performance in World War I, he only knew that Rommel became famous in the Italian battlefield. However, Italy has not joined the war yet, and the entire situation has changed. Even if Italy participates in the war, Rommel's troops may not be transferred there.

Thomas took out two pieces of paper like a trick, and then read it slowly, either light or heavy, or rushing:

"Elwin Rommel, born on November 15, 1891 in Heidenheim, Brenz, his father was a middle school principal and his mother was the daughter of local government officials. Rommel joined the 124th Infantry Regiment in Wooldenburg in July 1910. Three months later, Rommel was promoted to corporal and soon promoted to sergeant. He was sent to the Danzer Royal Officer Alternative School in March 1911 and graduated in November. In January 1912, Rommel graduated and returned to the 124th Infantry Regiment stationed in Wikaldon to train recruits and was awarded the rank of lieutenant. He was admitted to the Cornisburg Armored Academy in October 1913, and graduated with the first place in the academy on October 10, 1914. He is currently the captain and battalion commander in the newly formed Second Tank Division of the Armored Army of the East Prussian Army."

"Fritz; Erich; von Manstein, born in the Lewinsky family in Berlin on November 24, 1887. His biological father, Edward; von Lewinsky, was the general commander of the army. Fritz changed his surname to Manstein because he was adopted by his uncle Manstein. Manstein received general education in Strasbourg when he was young and later entered the military academy for training. In 1906, he served in the 3rd Prussian Guard Infantry Regiment and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant the following year. He was admitted to the Cornisburg Armored Academy in October 1913, and graduated with the second place in the academy on October 10, 1914. He is currently the captain and battalion commander in the newly formed Second Tank Division of the Armored Army of the East Prussian Army."

"I searched for him for a long time, but when I looked back, she was in the dim light!" Chen Tian gently chanted this ancient Chinese lyrics, "It seems that the geniuses have already smelled the powerful power of armored weapons!"

Thomas's flash-blooded smile had already been closed, and now he still made his expression of calm as the intelligence officer, "I don't know how you know these people you have never met before, and I don't need to know that in detail! But I have to admit that the four people you mentioned are all very good! Navy Captain Karl Denitz, in August, 5 Russian ships, 12 British ships in September, and individual ships.

With a tonnage of 70,000 tons, he was promoted to the rank of major two days ago and received a Blue Max Medal. He is currently the commander of the Second Atlantic Submarine Formation; Rommel and Manstein, who have outstanding achievements in the Armored Academy, have always occupied the top two in the academy and are known as the best students of the Armored Academy in Cornisburg since its establishment; although Baron Manfred's record is not very outstanding, this is mainly related to the huge advantage of our aviation power!"

Chen Tian nodded with satisfaction. The first car quickly stopped not far in front of them. Two young captains in black tank troops uniforms came out from inside.

Rommel, 23, and Manstein, 27, suddenly felt a surge of pride and satisfaction in Chen Tian's heart. This feeling was stronger than when he reviewed the "Black Storm Legion" and met Denitz. The status of these two people in history is unsubstituted. Chen Tian only had four words in his mind: "German God of War!"

The young Rommel and Manstein looked very different from the photos. They had no wrinkles on their faces and their hair was neatly tidy and shiny. The new tank army officer dress on their bodies looked very well fit, with cold and mysterious black colors, straight lines of the military uniforms, and handsome and strong bodies of the two, plus the black military cap with short brims, everything looked so pleasing to the eye.

The two walked quickly to Chen Tian, ​​even their steps looked so brisk.

"His Royal Highness, the Captain and Battalion Commander Manstein (Rommeel), the Second Tank Division of the Armored Army, pays tribute to you!"

"Very good! Very good! Both of them are elites who graduated from the Armor Academy. In a few days, we will set off to the French front line together. I look forward to seeing your outstanding performance!" Chen Tian looked straight at the two uncensored jades in front of him. After experiencing war carvings, they will surely shine with dazzling light. Perhaps there will be a hero who has fewer prisoners and more prisoners on the Italian battlefield, and perhaps there will be a less adviser to provide advice on the Eastern Front, but Chen Tian can already see the unyielding future of the German Iron River torrent.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Both of them felt flattered for the prince's appreciation and expectations.

"Play it well! I hope these steel chariots can exert their maximum power in your hands!" Chen Tian wanted to say something, but the number of guests behind him was gradually increasing.

"Don't be restrained, you two, the ones attending the banquet today are the generals you will work with. Talk to them. I think they will be very happy to meet you! Let's have a good exchange when we have time!" Although Chen Tian said this, the two still seemed a little restrained, but Chen Tian believes that they can quickly integrate into this legion that attaches more importance to the ability than socializing.

"Your Highness, Prince's Lady!" Hoffman appeared in front of Chen Tian in a brand new brigadier general's uniform. After returning to East Prussia, the generals with outstanding military achievements were all promoted and rewarded within the legion, but most of them were still empty in their military uniforms, and everyone was actively looking forward to the awards in Berlin in a few days.

"Oh, General Hoffman, Mrs. Hoffman, thank you very much for attending! General, we will have a good chat later. We may have encountered some minor trouble, which will bother Thomas and I!" Chen Tian said helplessly, and Hoffman was surprised by this.

"Oh? I'm really surprised if there is any problem that will bother our prince!"

"We'll talk later. Let's take your wife in and say hello to everyone!"

As soon as the Hoffman and his wife left, Chen Tian saw Matthew and his beautiful wife walking out of another car from a distance. Matthew was also wearing a brand new major general uniform, and he looked very energetic. He had a Class Iron Cross hanging on his collar.

"Your Highness, Prince's Lady!" Matthew stood in front of Chen Tian with his wife in his face with a smile on his face.

"General Matthew and the beautiful Mrs. Matthew! Welcome to your arrival! Mrs. Matthew looks so dazzling today. It seems that it will kill a lot of eyeballs today!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, the prince's wife is the most eye-catching lady at the banquet today, right?"

After a wave of greetings, Matthew and his wife also entered the hall first.

In addition to General Markensen who stayed in Poland, major generals and staff members such as General François also appeared one after another. Many people who studied at the Cornisburg Youth Military Academy with Chen Tian at that time now serve as middle and senior commanders above the regiment commander in Chen Tian's legion, and those who graduated from the Cornisburg Military Academy and served as commanders at the battalion level and above were also invited to attend today's dinner.

When familiar faces appear in front of him, Chen Tian can't help but miss the beautiful and arduous military academy career; when those strange and young officers pay timidly to him, he will look forward to the future of this vibrant and vibrant legion.

Gradually, more and more people came to Chentian Castle. It seemed that most of the more than 300 invited people had already arrived, and the whole hall became lively. The officers either chatted happily in groups of three or three with wine glasses, or introduced their partners to others, and the light music surrounded the hall.

The hall looked colorful, and the ladies' various dresses embellished it like a garden, while the men were not inferior. Although they basically wore military uniforms, the colors of the army, the black of the armored forces, the dark blue of the navy, and the blue gray of the air force did not look monotonous at all. Their strong bodies and the simple and bright lines of the new military uniform were also very eye-catching.

Chen Tian held Lisa and greeted everyone in the hall. At this time, a familiar and crisp sound came from behind them. This German-style word was moist and not as stiff as it used to be.

"His Royal Highness, Prince's Lady!"
