Marshal Hindenburg did not reveal much information in the telegram, but the nine short words contained a huge amount of information.
Especially the last four words: Take over the army!
What does it mean?
What kind of army should he be asked to take over? Is it the army of the original Kingdom of Bavaria or Marshal Hindenburg's own army? You can't say that he is allowed to take over the entire country's army, right?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems possible, because the old marshal sent a telegram at this time, which means that the old marshal will definitely take action, and once he takes action, he will not stay in Munihei, but will go to Bolin. Got it!
When Marshal Hindenburg went to Bolin, the army must have been arranged. At this time, the other party asked him to go back and take over the army. This has to arouse people's imagination!
However, Mainz didn't have that much time to guess here. Munich was not far from Odili. After confirming the authenticity of the telegram, Mainz immediately made an explanation.
"Model, you and Kesselring stay here. I will report your military merits when I go back. It is estimated that you can be promoted to the rank of major or even lieutenant colonel. After I leave, you should be careful of the Italians and Ronny in the south. Teeth man!"
Emperor Ferdinand I of Roniya was still in Vienna at this time, and representatives of Roniya also came from the capital of Roniya. They were negotiating with the German army to redeem the 200,000 captured troops and the king!
Negotiations between the two parties have been going on for a while, and now they are almost at an end. Since we are ready to leave, we must handle this matter before leaving!
"Yes, General, we two promise not to let the Italians and Ronijas take any advantage!"
Model and Kesselin looked at each other, and the joy on their faces could not be suppressed.
In just over two months, the two of them have been promoted from lieutenant to major and may even be promoted to lieutenant colonel. Such a promotion The speed, even in the last world war, can be said to be appalling!
Rockets have not been born in this era, so they do not know this thing, otherwise they will definitely use the word rocket to describe their promotion speed.!
"Guderian, Himmler, you two go back and tidy up, and prepare to return to Munich with me!"
"Yes, General!"
Although the two of them are a little envious of Kesselring and Model, they themselves performed well in this battle and will definitely receive awards and promotions when they return.
"Göring, Dietrich, you two stay, others can go and do their own thing!"
After the explanation, Mainz and Dietrich stayed. They looked at each other, and they were a little curious. They knew that General Mainz probably had something to entrust to them, so they couldn't bear it. I can't help but feel a little excited.
Being left alone by General Mainz shows that they are very high in the general's heart!
"Dietrich, we captured a lot of horses in this battle. I hope you will use these horses to secretly form a cavalry. The scale does not need to be large, as long as one brigade is enough. Do you understand?"
Mainz doesn't have a good impression of the cavalry. This type of arm has become outdated in modern warfare, but he still wants to form such a force. The purpose is not to hope that the cavalry will perform well in future wars. Instead, he hoped that this force could serve as a target and attract the attention of the Allied Powers, thereby hiding his true intention: to secretly form the German armored force!
Of course, it would be better to hide this kind of thing from Dietrich. After all, if you tell him, he may be passive and not do it with full enthusiasm. This may allow spies from Britain, France and other countries to see the loopholes. In order to make up for this loophole and reduce the risk of being discovered, the United States Inz needs Dietrich to show the highest enthusiasm for the task he is about to perform!
"Yes, General, I promise to complete the mission!"
As expected, Dietrich was very excited after hearing Major General Mainz's arrangements for him.
You must know that the cavalry was an aristocratic force during World War I. This unit inherited from the medieval period has always been the most elite in each country. It is also the most precious unit. In the past, those who could join the cavalry unit were all nobles from various countries!
Major General Mainz entrusted him with such an important task, which was his absolute trust and respect, so Dietrich Xi secretly vowed that he would work harder and never live up to Major General Mainz's expectations!
Seeing the high-spirited look in Dietrich's eyes, Mainz felt relieved.
Dietrich was a cavalryman. With his background, letting him perform this task can be regarded as making the best use of his talents!
"Goering, your mission is the same as Dietrich. I want you to secretly form our own air force in Odili!"
The Treaty of Versailles restricted the military development of the German army. New arms that appeared in World War I, such as tanks, armored vehicles, and the air force, were not allowed to be produced and equipped by the German army. New arms such as the air force were directly cancelled.
But the United States Intz knew very well how huge the role the air force would play in future wars. Whether it was a naval battle at sea or a land battle on land, the air force would be the protagonist that could determine the outcome of the war.
Therefore, even if the Allies explicitly prohibited the German army from having its own! Air Force, Mainz will also find ways to develop its own air force!
"General, what should I do specifically? I'm worried that if I don't do it well, I might alert the Allied Powers!"
Hearing what Mainz said, Goering was both excited and uneasy. He was excited that General Mainz had entrusted him with such an important task. He was deeply moved by this trust, but he was also worried about his ability. Insufficiency will ruin the good deeds of the major general, so���Lin anxiously raised his question
"Well, I would set up a car repair shop in Bavaria!"
Mainz nodded. Goering's performance made him feel relieved. If Goering was like Dietrich just now, bragging that he would complete the mission after accepting the mission, then Mainz would still feel more confident. Worry.
The matter of establishing an air force is much more complicated than that of cavalry. The Allies did not prohibit the German army from developing cavalry, but they explicitly prohibited the German army from developing an air force. This made Goering's work difficult to carry out and could be exposed if he was not careful. If this kind of thing is exposed, it will definitely have a huge impact on the German army, so
Mainz is thinking about whether Goering should be retired from active service and his identity becomes a civilian. In this case, they can use In the name of civilian aircraft, we are researching our own fighter jets!
"Auto repair shop? Goering was stunned. What does a car repair shop have to do with airplanes?
"Haha, you will know in the future, but don't worry, I have prepared talents for aircraft design and manufacturing for you, and what you have to do now is to seize the time to contact those old subordinates who fought with you in the past and summon them Get up, we need to cultivate an air force from scratch. This task is very difficult. Captain Goering, are you ready?"
