Chapter 45 - Manstein

An invitation from His Majesty the Emperor!

When the soldiers of the third company heard the news, everyone showed great envy and glory.

This is not only the glory of Lieutenant Ernst Brahm, but also the glory of the entire third company. What makes people feel even more proud is that His Majesty the Emperor's invitation was actually delivered by a general in person.

What could be more exciting than this?

Everyone is looking forward to the lieutenant choosing him to go to Berlin with him. After all, most people will never be able to see His Majesty the Emperor in their lifetime.

Wang Weiyi thought about it carefully and realized that Guo Yunfeng must take it with him. In the battle with the British, it was only through the sacrifice of his own compatriot that he could escape danger.

Where is the other person?

Wang Weiyi's eyes fell on a person:

Adolf Hitler!

Adolf Hitler never dreamed that he would have such a huge honor. When he heard Lieutenant Ernst calling his name, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

God, merciful God! What have I done to deserve your favor?

No, besides thanking God, I also have to thank Lieutenant Ernst! Hitler, who already had infinite respect and gratitude for Lieutenant Ernst, now felt a deep attachment to him.

The soldiers of the Third Company were extremely envious of Hitler. Soldiers such as Bunkerrei, Steck, and Sean, who had a good relationship with Hitler, were all joking with Hitler, telling him not to wet his pants in fear when he saw His Majesty the Emperor. .

And Steven, who had some conflicts with Hitler, said some sour words, but at this time Hitler was completely dismissive of the Jew...

Time was running out, so Wang Weiyi handed over the command of the third company to Sergeant Hall, and took Guo Yunfeng and Hitler on their way to Berlin.

Xiao Ling told Wang Weiyi some etiquette that he should pay attention to, but Wang Weiyi didn't listen to anything. There are so many cumbersome etiquettes that I can't remember.

After meeting William II, what should I do? Is there anything I should consider more?

Guo Yunfeng remained silent as usual, but Hitler kept excitedly asking this and that, and kept asking Wang Weiyi what kind of person His Majesty the Holy Emperor was, as if Wang Weiyi and Wilhelm II were old acquaintances... ....

Finally entering Berlin, when we came to the Brandenburg Gate, we were greeted by the famous four-bronze horse statue of the goddess. This statue, completed more than a hundred years ago, still looks so shocking.

After staying in the hotel, I am now waiting for someone to "call" me.

Prince Joachim's twenty-sixth birthday was a great joy for Berlin. Coupled with the victory of the Somme counterattack, the whole of Berlin looked jubilant.

After waiting in the hotel for a day, a young officer knocked on the door of Wang Weiyi's hotel room: "Are you Lieutenant Ernst Brahm?"

"Yes, it's me." I don't know why, but Wang Weiyi had a good impression of this officer when he first saw him.

"I was sent by His Majesty the Emperor." The young officer said politely: "His Majesty attaches great importance to you and specifically asked me to change your place. Ah, forget about yourself, I just came back from Belgium. I am a Guard Lieutenant Adjutant Fritz Erich von Manstein of the 2nd Reserve Regiment."

who? Manstein? Manstein, the king of strategy?

Wang Weiyi took a breath of air, never expecting to meet Manstein here and under such circumstances.

The background of this future German Marshal was not inferior to that of Rommel and Richthofen, but was even more dazzling.

He was the tenth child of Eduard von Leevinsky, a Prussian nobleman and artillery general, and Helen von Shipling. Hedwig von Shipling, the younger sister of Erich's mother Helen, married Infantry General Georg von Manstein. Unfortunately, the couple had no children, so they decided to adopt the child to his uncle before he was born.

As soon as Erich was born, Levinsky sent a telegram to old Manstein: "You got a healthy child today. Mother and child are safe. Congratulations."

Not only was Erich von Manstein's father a Prussian general, his two grandfathers were also Prussian generals, and his uncle was also a general; the famous Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg was also his uncle.

Such a family background is dazzling at first sight.

Well, I have met Adolf Hitler, I have met Erwin Rommel, and now I have met Fritz von Manstein. Each one is more important than the other. Who will I meet next?

Field Marshal Hindenburg? Ludendorff? Think about it, this is really possible.

Wang Weiyi calmed down: "Lieutenant Manstein, it's a great honor to meet you. Shall we leave now?"

"Yes, Lieutenant Ernst Brahm." Manstein seemed very polite and well-educated. Then he called in two soldiers and asked them to take Lieutenant Ernst's luggage with them.

There were two carriages parked at the door. Manstein invited Adolf Hitler and Guo Yunfeng to get on the carriage in front, and then very politely invited Wang Weiyi to get on the carriage behind. When Manstein also got on, the carriage moved slowly. .

Wang Weiyi, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't know what to say. After a while, it was Manstein who spoke first: "Lieutenant Ernst, I heard about the miracle you created on the way back from Belgium. This really surprised me."

Wang Weiyi thought for a moment and replied simply: "Brave and loyal, plus a little bit of luck."

There was a smile on the corner of Manstein's mouth. He knew that Lieutenant Ernst did not answer all the answers, but these were enough: "Yes, bravery and loyalty can overcome all difficulties. If the lucky angel is also standing here with you, On the other hand, the miracle can be explained."

As he spoke, he was silent for a moment: "Lieutenant Ernst, we are all soldiers, so I have to remind you that Colonel Nikolai from the Military Intelligence Agency also came to Berlin to attend the feast of His Majesty the Emperor. But I I heard from a friend of mine that it seems that Colonel Nikolai is not very friendly to you, and Heinrich Elena seems to be under a lot of pressure."

Nikolai, that damn Nikolai again! Where did I provoke him?

Suddenly he felt something strange. Although he knew that Heinrich Elena was also a person with a good background, she actually recognized Rommel, Richthofen, and Manstein. What on earth was she? What's your background?

Rommel's cousin? Is it really that simple?
