defected general

Although Countess Leonie did not help much in this incident, her power in Berlin cannot be ignored.

When he arrived at her manor, Wang Weiyi unexpectedly discovered the distinguished guests Dempsey had mentioned:

Field Marshal Hindenburg, General Ludendorff, Lieutenant General von Bello, Lieutenant General von Galwitz, and even Crown Prince Wilhelm August!

This is simply a gathering of a group of the most senior commanders on the German side! Wang Weiyi's rank of major suddenly seemed so shabby here.

"Congratulations on clearing away the slander and restoring your reputation." Marshal Hindenburg was quite kind: "I have always firmly believed that there are no traitors among Germans."

The majestic First Class General Ludendorff also said: "Nicholas should really be thrown into hell, but it is a pity that he can only be demoted to a lieutenant colonel. There will always be opportunities to deal with him in the future."

It seems that Nicholas's endless attacks on the heroes erected by the military have completely angered these senior military generals.

He glanced at Countess Leonie and found that the countess was smiling slightly at him. Then, the countess said: "Well, I think you want to discuss something, and I will prepare something to eat for you."

After the countess made an excuse to leave, General Ludendorff said: "The battle on the Somme was due to the early arrival of the rainy season, which made the soldiers' attack extremely difficult. I think Britain and France can no longer maintain their The attack posture is now in place, and the war on the Somme can come to an end."

Marshal Hindenburg said: "We have annihilated 800,000 enemy troops at the cost of 500,000 casualties, and successfully disrupted the enemy's strategic objectives. This is a great victory. British Prime Minister Asquith has resigned, Lloyd George has become the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and I think this is also a political victory for us..."

Lloyd George came to power? Then Churchill also became a member of the cabinet? Wang Weiyi thought in his heart.

"Major Ernst, what do you think of the Battle of the Somme?" Marshal Hindenburg suddenly asked.

Wang Weiyi was startled, and then continued: "In this great battle, it was clearly proved that the tactic of carrying out multiple assaults in succession to break through the defense of the position in a narrow frontal area has little effect, and is very likely to consume huge amounts of money. Troops. In addition, I think tanks and other types of heavy equipment for position breakthrough and counter-weapons will appear more and more on the battlefield. But what worries me is..."

Seeing Wang Weiyi hesitate to speak, Hindenburg encouraged: "It doesn't matter, Major Ernst, you can tell me anything."

"Yes, Marshal." Wang Weiyi boldly said: "Although we successfully defeated the enemy's offensive, the enemy has made a great breakthrough on the southwest front. I am worried that the dominance of the war will shift from our side. Go to the enemy's side..."

Several senior generals fell silent, which was exactly what they were worried about.

But Wang Weiyi said it...

"No matter what, we won after all." August felt that it was necessary to boost morale at this time: "The enemy lost 300,000 people more than me. Their strength was further weakened, and the initiative to win was The power is still in our hands!"

"Yes!" Ludendorff raised his voice: "There is nothing to worry about. On the frontal battlefield, we will also organize several large-scale attacks to completely undermine the enemy's determination to resist. But according to frontline intelligence, A large number of French troops are being mobilized frequently on the front lines of Reims and Soissons. We expect that the French army will organize a spring offensive by March or April next year at the latest. "

"Yes, General!"

"Your outstanding performance in the Battle of the Somme won you and the German army great honor. At the same time, we are also very interested in some of your combat skills." Ludendorff told the truth behind calling him this time. Purpose: "For example, you successfully broke out when you were surrounded by the British, such as the trench assault team you took the lead in using, so we have a task for you."

"Please give me your orders, General."

Ludendorff paused and said: "We need you to organize a small team, led by you personally, to find out the intelligence of the French."

"Yes, General." Wang Weiyi replied without any hesitation.

In fact, there is no need to find out at all, you can just ask Xiaoling to adjust the information yourself. However, Wang Weiyi soon discovered that he was wrong.

The task is definitely not that simple...

When Ludendorff said this, he was silent for a moment. General von Bellot, commander-in-chief of the First Army, then said: "Major Ernst, in addition to figuring out the French army's intelligence, you have another task... .We want you to go and bring someone back..."

General von Bello's hesitant look made Wang Weiyi very curious. Who could alert these high-level German officials?

General von Bello adjusted his breathing: "Major Ernst, his name is von Kilock, Baron."

Wang Weiyi was even more surprised. His name suggested that he was a German aristocrat. Did he go to France?

General von Bello's words quickly confirmed Wang Weiyi's guess: "He is the chief of staff of the First Army and a major general. A few days ago, he mysteriously disappeared. We got solid intelligence that he defected. Currently, he The person is in Reims and will be sent to Paris soon. Major Ernst, I think you know the seriousness of the situation, right?"

Wang Weiyi was shocked. A German aristocrat and major general's chief of staff actually defected? This was a huge blow to the German army.

"He holds a large amount of high-level secret information in his hands. We must never let him reach Paris alive!" General von Bellot's eyes showed very complicated emotions: "Your mission is to bring him back at all costs. If it doesn't work, I give you permission to kill him. Otherwise, our entire battlefield will no longer have any secrets in front of the enemy."

Wang Weiyi did not answer immediately.

Lance is currently in the midst of a severe confrontation between France and Germany. Is he now deep in the tiger's den? Go directly to the heart of the enemy and bring someone back. Can you do it?

"I know this task is very difficult, but you must complete it." Marshal Hindenburg said seriously at this time: "If we redeploy the battlefield for one person, it will put us into a great passivity." Enns Special Major, for the glory of Germany, you must complete this mission."

"Yes, Marshal, I will do everything possible to complete this task!" Wang Weiyi replied slowly.
