"Report to the general, guests from Hans have been received!"

In the city of Kursk, Second Lieutenant Zhukov, who had just completed his mission, was reporting the situation to his superiors.

"How many people did they come in total?"

Tukhachevsky still attaches great importance to Hans' observers, because so far, no country in the world recognizes wooly bears. Western countries not only do not recognize them, but also provide a large amount of weapons to the White Army. Weapons and equipment even directly sent troops to strangle them.

In this case, the Hans people seemed much more friendly.

Although Mao Xiong himself knew that the Hans people most likely wanted to get rid of them by selling weapons.

Making war profits during the war, but even so, when other countries are encircling and suppressing them, this country that is willing to make money from them and provide them with weapons has become extremely rare, because it is more difficult than I expected!

It took a week to arrive in Kursk.

As a result, Tukhachevsky failed to penetrate the opponent's defense line before the Allied troops arrived.

This greatly affected his plan.

For the upcoming chicken During the auxiliary battle, Tukhachevsky was also quite unsure.

In this case, Mao Xiong paid more attention to Hans, a relatively friendly country.

Mao Xiong attaches great importance to this matter in the country. Comrade Lenin, who is in the capital, even personally sent a telegram to Tukhachevsky, asking him to protect the identities of these German observers, because the predecessor of the KGB, code-named Detachment Ka's special agent organization has already investigated the identities of these observers.

Although the number sent by the German army is not large, these five people are all, without exception, young juniors with important positions in the Hans Defense Forces. Their status is only division commanders and staff officers at the level of major or lieutenant colonel, but this is mainly because the German army is too small and has too few people, so it only has a division-level establishment.

According to the Soviet army , the division commander is already the largest officer under the defense commander. Judging from their internal status, their level is equivalent to that of Budyonny and Tukhachevsky.

Therefore, after learning this information, Mao Xiong realized that the German army was very concerned about this battle. Otherwise, they would not have sent such a high-level military officer observation group!

Mao Xiong was naturally very happy that Hans could send such a high-level military officer group, because they believed that this was an opportunity to promote the friendship between the two militaries and enhance the relationship between the two countries. A great opportunity.

For the country of Hans, which has suffered severe sanctions and attacks from the Allied Powers, the Bears feel that they, who are also targeted and threatened by the Allied Powers, are like a family. We all share the same situation, the same enemy, So their relationship should get better! In

Mao Xiong's view, it is much easier to win Hans' recognition and establish diplomatic relations between the two countries than it is to other countries.

If they can achieve this zero breakthrough, I believe they will soon be able to open up the situation and be recognized by other countries!

Although Tukhachevsky does not want to distract himself from these nonsense before the war, Moscow He had to obey the orders, so Tukhachevsky sent troops to escort these people and personally met with these German officers.

Even though he was not very willing, the superficial work was still there!

Because Yin and Goode and others are too young and senior, they are not very famous in the world.

People's impression of the German army still remains on the old Prussian soldiers of the generation of Qi and Hindenburg.

The situations of Mao Xiong and Hans, who have been discriminated against and suppressed, are almost the same.

Although Tukhachevsky is already among the top three figures in the Bear Army, internationally, his name is rarely mentioned, and very few people know him!

If Manstein and others had not obtained an information sheet about the Soviet generals from Major General Mainz before setting off, they might not even know who the other party was.

It is precisely because the two parties are not very familiar with each other that the scene seems so awkward when both parties politely say things like"I have admired my name for a long time".

Both parties knew that the other was being polite, but neither of them exposed the false greeting. If it were exposed, it would be too embarrassing!

Tukhachevsky is not a person who is good at dealing with people, so after he felt that the atmosphere was not right, he immediately tried to change the topic and resolve the embarrassment.

"Everyone, I have long heard about the name of your country's General Staff system. I heard that your country never fights unprepared wars. Before many battles begin, several or even decisions have been made within the General Staff. It has been repeated dozens of times!"

Tukhachevsky admires the general staff system that the German army has established since the Prussian era.

Although many countries now follow the German army's approach and establish their own general staffs, as a pioneer of the general staff system, The German army was naturally considered authoritative in this regard, so he was curious.

Since these people were the rising stars of the German army, and the German army had a long history of the general staff system, what were the levels of these people?

For the Soviet army, this is a rare opportunity for them to get in touch with the top brass of the German army. If they can take this opportunity to deepen their understanding of the German army, it will be a great thing for the Soviet army.

After all, There is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests. The current relationship between the two sides is not bad, but who knows whether the two sides will meet in war in the future

? Regardless of the relationship, the military needs to make war plans for this imaginary enemy!

Manstein and Guderian looked at each other, and they both understood what the other party meant. The other party was probably going to give them a test.

As expected, Tukhachevsky's next words revealed his intention.

"In this case, I would like to ask you two, regarding the current situation of the Jifu Battle, if you conduct the deduction according to the method of your country's General Staff, what will be the result?"

This question is part curiosity and part test.

He really wants to test the abilities of these young German officers to see how well they understand such a large-scale battle involving millions of people.

On the other hand, he I also want to see if the results of the German army, which has a long-standing general staff system, are consistent with my expectations.

This question of Tukhachevsky really stumped Manstein and others! It's not that they can't answer this question, but if they really answer it, it will probably expose the strength of the German army.

When they were still in Hamburg, for this battle, the German army was led by Major General Mainz. After having conducted several deductions

, Tukhachevsky's problem was just a piece of cake for them. They only needed to repeat their previous deductions.

But the problem was, Will this expose their strength?

Thinking of this, Manstein quickly exchanged glances with the other German officers.

Guderian, Model, Kesselin and others nodded calmly. People's views quickly reached unity.

Telling the Bears the results of their internal deductions, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for them. It would make the Soviet army realize the strength of the German army and dispel the Bears' unreasonable thoughts about Hans. , maybe it can also promote military cooperation between the two sides!
