“Eisenhower, commander of the Southern Army, reports to you!”
The age difference between Eisenhower and Manstein is not that big. Manstein is only three years older than the former.
However, the three-year age difference has brought an insurmountable gap in the resumes of the two!
Eisenhower, who is 39 years old this year, has a resume that is far less brilliant than that of the 42-year-old Manstein.
Manstein participated in World War I and a series of military operations of the German army after the war. He followed the head of Mainz to complete the reconstruction and transformation of the German army.
Moreover, he once participated in and even led the Gallic Campaign. Under his command, millions of Allied troops were wiped out in the Low Countries. The Gauls with millions of troops were beaten without any ability to fight back and surrendered in less than a month!
When Mainz served as the head of the empire and began to devote a lot of energy to administrative work, Manstein gradually became the backbone of the German army. Under his leadership, the German military thinking and tactics began to improve day by day, and formed a complete set of military thought systems, which provided a solid guarantee for the German army’s operations!
Although the other party is only three years older than himself, he is already The actual leader of the Imperial Army is the current backbone of the Imperial Army. Such a person is completely looked up to by him, so in front of Manstein, Eisenhower put on a humble attitude of listening to teachings.
He originally admired Manstein very much, because compared with generals like Guderian and Model, Manstein is a real talent.
Among the three famous generals of the Empire, Manstein’s fame and prestige must firmly suppress the other two, and there is a reason for this! Perhaps
, if there is no Führer Mainz, then Manstein should be the well-deserved first general of the Empire, but because Führer Mainz is also a military man, and the current German army and military system were created by him, so it is difficult to say who is more powerful between the two of them.
However, the relationship between the two brothers does not seem to care too much about who is the first, especially when Mainz has been away from the army. Calling Manstein the first general of the Empire is not a big problem, but whether Manstein himself agrees is a problem.
“Are you here? Was it hard on the road?”
Manstein stopped what he was doing, looked up and said with a smile.
He looked up and down at Eisenhower, a tall and handsome middle-aged man.
The other party’s upright posture and the vigor emanating from him made Manstein feel good about him. He heard that Eisenhower was his admirer and had been learning his military ideas, which made him interested in this person. After seeing him at this time, he couldn’t help but look at him a few more times.
While Manstein was looking at Eisenhower, Eisenhower was also secretly observing his idol.
Manstein was wearing the officer uniform of the Imperial Admiral. He was tall and upright, and with the strong momentum on his body, he gave people a very strong aura, which made people feel a little nervous. Zhang, couldn’t help but stand up straight, not daring to look sideways.
However, although he didn’t dare to look too much, Eisenhower still found an interesting little detail.
As a general of the empire, it is said that he will soon be promoted to general and may even directly ascend to the sky and become the first marshal of the empire.
Manstein’s dress is somewhat simple.
In addition to the general uniform representing his identity, he only wears a second-class Iron Cross medal on his chest.
Apart from that, there are no other gorgeous medals.
The medals of the empire have very clear levels, from the second-class Iron Cross medal to the Knight’s Medal of Diamonds, Gold Oak Leaves and Swords, and the levels are upgraded accordingly.
The second-class Iron Cross medal can be said to be the most common and the least valuable medal!
This kind of medal, even for ordinary people in the army, is not worth much. Ordinary soldiers also have the opportunity to obtain it in battle.
As the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Army, Manstein participated in a series of military operations of the Empire, and even planned and led the war of annihilation against Gaul, and made great military exploits.
Such a person definitely has a lot of honors, and naturally there are many medals.
However, he did not wear those gorgeous medals on himself, but only wore a plain second-class Iron Cross medal. This indifferent attitude surprised Eisenhower.
Completely different from what he thought in his heart, the generals on the US military side, once they received the honor, they all wanted to wear all their medals on their chests, resulting in their chests full of medals, shining brightly, like a light bulb, and when they walked to Everywhere he goes becomes the focus of people’s attention, attracting people’s eyes!
If Manstein were put into such a crowd, with only a second-class Iron Cross medal, he would be quickly drowned and relegated to a corner where no one would care.
However, it is ironic that such a low-key person who is unwilling to wear medals may be the most outstanding and powerful general on the planet. Compared with those who swagger through the streets and wear a large number of medals to show off their achievements, the difference is obvious!
Seeing Manstein so low-key, Eisenhower was in awe and secretly made up his mind that he would learn this low-key spirit after returning. Only by being low-key and humble can he constantly spur himself to make progress, so as not to fall into a state of pride and complacency.
“We didn’t encounter any trouble on the way, please rest assured, General!”
Manstein nodded. This situation was not unexpected.
After all, Eisenhower came with an army. As long as the enemy is not stupid, they will not dare to take the initiative to cause trouble for such a large army.
“After the enemy’s army was defeated, most of them retreated to the north, but during the retreat, a large number of their defeated soldiers were scattered all over the place, forming sporadic armed elements. These people seriously threatened social security, so your next key task is to eliminate these unstable factors and lay the foundation for stability and peace in the occupied areas!”
Some things don’t need to be said so bluntly. With Eisenhower’s intelligence, I believe he can understand what I mean.
After hearing Manstein’s instructions, Eisenhower immediately understood the other party’s hint.
He asked Eisenhower to focus on eliminating the armed elements in the occupied areas, which means that on the front battlefield, the German army does not plan to launch large-scale military operations in the next period of time!
