The sound of knocking on the door sounded, and Xu Yang and the other two stood up and turned to look. Marshal Dendorf Erib led Manstein in... They did not make any noise, but came directly.

"This is the school of Manstein, and you will work together in the future." Marshal Erib's words were very brief.

Xu Yang and the other two saluted, with a somewhat surprised expression. They seemed to think that the National Defense Forces sent a school to be responsible for the construction and did not pay much attention to the Third Armored Division.

Marshal Erib saw the young men's doubts and said straight to the point: "There is no war on the Western Front, and the east is going to be lively. Our German school can do more than the generals of other countries..." He paused, "The Third Armored Division will be the main armored force in the east in the future. You will prepare everything for the next two years, because you will face a tough battle."

He walked up to Xu Yang and took out an exquisite box from his pocket, "I can tell you very frankly that Xu Yang is a bit complicated. Because of your existence, the development of the Third Armored Division will be much easier. You can hate us old guys who are using you, but as a soldier, you have no reason to protest."

Xu Yang's expression was very cold. He watched Marshal Erib take out a first-class iron cross medal from the box, unbutton his Fengji buckle, hang the medal on the Fengji buckle, and help him organize his military appearance again. A marshal personally awarded a medal to a lieutenant, and the marshal personally hanged the medal on the Fengji buckle. This is an honor no matter where he is! But Xu Yang is very cold, really cold, and he also knows that he is used as a tool.

Marshal Erib looked at Xu Yang in front of him, trying to find something in Xu Yang's expression. He only saw a very cold face, "Don't you want to say something?"

The old marshal suddenly felt a little emotionally volatile, and he didn't want to see a lifeless face.

Xu Yang saluted: "I understand what I am doing, that's enough!"

Rick and Joseph also saluted at the same time, just as Xu Yang said: It is enough to understand that they are fighting for the nation.

Marshal Erib is 69 years old this year. He has been working hard for Germany all his life. Although some unfamous things happened in the middle, no one can deny that he had contributed half of his life to Germany. He slowly walked to his office and sat down, and took out three boxes from the drawer. The structure and decoration of the box were so monotonous, and the whole was covered with wooden shells.

This was the first time that Manstein met Xu Yang. To be honest, Manstein’s understanding of Xu Yang is only because this young man, who is not old, has a jealous background. As for his ability? It seems very good. There is no fanbull among the Junker nobles. Fanbull has long been removed. Even if Fanbull enters the National Defense Forces, it will not be recognized.

"Hello! Your Excellency Stark." Manstein carefully used his honorific words, and he couldn't tell what he should say.

Manstein's original name was Erich von Lewinsky. He was born in Berlin, Germany. His father was a nobleman from West Prussia and an artillery general. Manstein was his 10th child. Soon, he was adopted at his uncle's house and renamed Fritz Erich von Manstein.

Manstein began his military career in 1906. He first served as an intern officer of the 3rd Guard Infantry Regiment, and a year later, he was officially promoted to second lieutenant. In 1913, Manstein was elected to study at the Berlin Military Academy. In 1914, he was promoted to lieutenant. In the same year, Manstein returned to the 3rd Guard Infantry Regiment, and soon served as an adjutant of the 2nd Guard Reserve Regiment.

After the outbreak of World War I, Manstein participated in the war on the Western Front and the Russian front. He was injured while on the front line and was soon sent to the General Staff of the Army as a staff officer, and then participated in the German attack on northern Poland. He then returned to the Western Front as the chief of the Cavalry Operations Section and the Chief of the Infantry Division. In 1915, Manstein was promoted to lieutenant.

When Manstein got the rank of lieutenant, he was limited to the Treaty of Versailles. Like many German soldiers, he served as a lieutenant for 12 years. In 1927, Manstein was promoted to the rank of major. In 1929, he changed to work in the First Office of the General Staff of the German Ministry of Defense. In the early 20s, Manstein married the daughter of a military family of Linz, and his eldest son was born in 1922. In the late 20s, Manstein visited the armored troops of some European countries and gained a lot of experience and information from it. In 1932, Manstein was promoted to lieutenant colonel and in 1933. At the same time, he was also ordered to form the Third Armored Division with the legendary Kahn von Sdaq.

Xu Yang found it difficult to position Manstein and salute: "Hello! Mr. School." Perhaps he felt that he seemed too cold, he explained, "I just returned to Berlin from Rhine today."

What could Manstein say? As a member of the Junker nobles, he knew deeply that Junkers would not explain anything before they identified with one person. Xu Yang's subsequent explanation undoubtedly made him feel respected.

"These two are my partners..." Xu Yang introduced Rick, Rick and Joseph to Manstein, "We will work together in the future, and they are excellent soldiers."

Joseph was a descendant of the Austro-Hungarian royal family. After World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated. The young Joseph secretly fled to Germany with the help of his loyal servants and joined the German Army when he grew up. During his service in the National Wehrmacht, his identity was not taken care of. In contrast, Xu Yang had very strict requirements on him, almost to the point of deliberately making things difficult for him. In the early stage, he was very angry and protested to Xu Yang and was rejected. Joseph still remembered what Xu Yang said at that time. As for what he said, no one knew except the two parties involved.

When Manstein received the order, he conducted an investigation and found that Stark had a very strange way of getting along with these two lieutenants, and they seemed to be doing something.

The lieutenant named Rick was once a deserter and could not be valued anywhere, but when he arrived at Stark, he was magically reused. The facts also proved that this guy had great experience in speculating what the enemy wanted to do. He lived almost to figure out what others were thinking.

Joseph, a descendant of the Austro-Hungarian royal family with a noble status, had huge resources in his hands and had a very strange relationship with Stark. The two looked like teachers and students, and they looked more like subordinates. After the two met, Joseph disappeared for a while. When he appeared again, the funds of the Stark family became extremely strong and gradually showed the trend of being the leader of the German military industry. Since then, Germany has begun to pay special attention to the situation in the three countries of Austria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, and the government has also made many adjustments to its diplomatic strategies.

"These three people are not simple!" Manstein was a very smart soldier. He knew that the Third Armored Division was used by the government and the National Defense Forces to make Stark... Perhaps he had to add Joseph. This division was a bridge for young men to transition. What he had to do was to get more points so that they could climb higher.

At this time, Marshal Erib moved, and his hands were very eye-catching, which were three different military ranks and collar seals. He walked to the front of Xu Yang and the three of them, first picked up the pink background, two wheat ears intersected and wrinkled, a golden school star lieutenant colonel's shoulder, removed the lieutenant colonel's shoulder, and replaced it with the lieutenant colonel's shoulder. He patted Xu Yang's shoulder, signaled Xu Yang to slant his body, and then removed the lieutenant colonel's collar seal, changing the yellow background, and the image of Brandenburg Gate.

"Although I personally think you should work at the bottom for a few more years,... your efforts have been recognized by all the National Defense Forces, very good! You are now a lieutenant colonel." Marshal Erib could not see the surprise expression from Xu Yang's face, which made him a little depressed, "Are you not satisfied?"

To be honest, Xu Yang had just been distracted. He came to his senses when he heard Marshal Erib's shouting, "No..."

Before he finished speaking, Marshal Erib glared at the beard and stared at him, "No? You little madman who is not easy to satisfy, how many years have you served someone else to become a major? Are you not satisfied?"

Xu Yang should give a good explanation, and he said very seriously: "Marson Marshal, please listen to me. I think my promotion speed is too fast, and this is not a good thing."
