Akado still found an excuse, ended his breakfast early, rushed to the General Staff of the Army, and personally presided over an extremely solemn ceremony in the largest conference room there. In the envious eyes of all the officers, the third German marshal was born, and this man was Lundstedt, who took over the marshal's scepter because of his occupation of London.

The rank of Field Marshal was long recognized by Acardo, and he also communicated with Lundstedt himself in private, but the stubborn veteran general believed that the most brilliant victory must be achieved in order to achieve such brilliant honor.

The Germans valued the rank of marshal very much. They insisted that those who obtained the rank of marshal must have the merit of matching this rank. This is also the main reason why Hitler's large-scale promotion to marshal after invading France caused dissatisfaction with the army. These generals criticized Hitler for insulting the rank of marshal and satirized the numerous marshals.

Therefore, Acardo carefully gave his generals the rank of marshal to his generals in this life. Marshal Bolauchic was promoted because of the expectations of the National Defense Forces, and also thanking him for Blauchic's replacement of Acardo to complete the "Pluto Plan" of the National Defense Forces; Redel was promoted to marshal because he defeated the British Navy and won the opportunity for the German Navy to go to the ocean. Of course, another reason was that he was Acardo's mouthpiece in the military; now Lundstedt was promoted to marshal because of the victory of the British local battle, and no one raised any objections to this matter. After all, Lundstedt participated in the victory of the two wars of France and Britain, and it was worth noting that much.

As the music of the son, Akado walked onto the stage in person, patted the arm of the veteran general Lundstedt, who was rushing back to Berlin from London to Germany, and smiled and wanted to shake hands with the general. However, Lundstedt did not stretch out his palm, but stood attentively raised his right arm and saluted the head of state a standard German ritual: "Long live Akado Rudolph, the head of state!"

Countless cameras recorded this moment, and the new Marshal Lundstedt stood at the attention of the head of state, his eyes full of admiration and joy.

"Welcome to Berlin. Marshal Lundstedt." Akado smiled and stretched out his hand again. Lundstedt stretched out his palm in fear and fear. The two shook hands, and then stood together to face the reporter and posed for taking photos.

"My head, thank you for your trust and support. I live up to expectations and put the national flag on the head of London." Lundstedt is a typical Prussian soldier with a rigorous and meticulous style, but he is like all traditional Prussian soldiers, with unparalleled loyalty and reliability.

"Thank you for your hard work, but you still have to rush back to London as soon as possible to stabilize the situation there and carry out subsequent reconstruction work. According to the agreement, we will build military airports in Ireland and the north of the United Kingdom, and these airports are under the command of Catherine. You are responsible for the coastal defense work of the British Isles. I need a relatively stable western defense line, which depends on you to complete." After Akado asked the reporter to take a photo, he said to Lundstedt.

Lundstey nodded and replied to Akado: "My head, I will immediately set out to arrange a defense system. As long as there is no problem with the Imperial Navy, I want you to ensure that the British Isles are solid."

"Cheers to the new marshal of the Third Reich!" Akado smiled and picked up the wine glass placed on the table, raised his arms and smiled at his beloved general.

"Cheers to the Atlantic Barriers!" Lundstedt raised his glass: "I will rush back to London tomorrow. My Head, please take care of me."

...

"General Rommel won a great victory in *******! Annihilated 20,000 British troops!" A newspaper boy waved the newspaper on the street and shouted. The newspapers have been very good this year, so his life has become much more affordable.

After all, in 1938, the head of state appointed Sperer to integrate the imperial industry and reorganize the Bailanhua Group; land in the UK and occupy the British capital London; followed by the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, and Germany won the counterattack on the border; now there is a victory in North Africa, which is simply dazzling.

The people are still excited and are still discussing the war situation in North Africa and the strategic materials transported from Italy - this is one of the costs of Germany's troops to North Africa, including flour, butter, and Italian labor. Now the Germans have found that war is not unacceptable, as long as they can continue to gain these benefits...

Rommel's victory cheered the people, but it made the General Staff of the Defense Army in chaos. Bolaochic is now supervising the war on the Eastern Front, so here is the veteran Bok, who has just returned from the Eastern Front to the Commander-in-Chief of the N Army and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Defense Army.

He notified Akado about the news from the North African front by phone an hour ago, and at this time, Akado had just arrived at the office of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces. As soon as he saw Boke, Akado couldn't wait to ask about the situation in North Africa.

"Boke, how bad is the situation?" Akado frowned and looked at a report, asking while looking.

"My head of state, Italy can provide very limited transport ships. With the recent plan for soldiers to take off, another infantry army originally planned to be shipped to North Africa is still in Italy." Bock pointed to the map and said, "They still have a port here waiting for their ships."

Akado looked at the map and then the report in his hand. The situation seemed to be worse than he thought. Half of the African Legion's forces are either reorganized or on the road. Rommel only has the 7th Armored Army and the 7th Infantry Army that have been fighting continuously for more than ten days. The remaining troops are Italian second-rate troops. At this time, it is no different from suicide.

"Did you call Rommel? Order him to stop moving forward!" Akado dropped the information in his hand, walked to the map of North Africa, and tapped the blue arrow representing Rommel's main force with his fingers, asking General Bock.

Bock shook his head helplessly: "My head of state, the battle of **** was started when General Rommel was strictly ordered to defend General Rommel. He ignored the order to launch an attack and rushed to Tobrook. Do you think he would listen to the order to stop moving forward at this time?"

"..." Akado was silent. He knew what Rommel was as his confidant beloved. At this time, only Akado personally issued an instruction to stop the attack. Otherwise, even if Marshal Bolauchic's order to truly arrive in North Africa, the implementation situation after he actually arrived in North Africa would probably be greatly reduced.

"I personally ordered! Telegraph Officer! Record: I am Acardo Rudolph, ordering you to temporarily stop the attack and wait for the new Supreme Command to arrive." Acardo called the Telegraph Officer and issued the Supreme Command of the German Command.

Bock watched the telegraph officer hurried away, stood up and handed another report to Acardo, and then said helplessly: "The logistics supply in Italy is messy, and General Rommel is probably out of ammunition and food, so we should prepare to meet the defeat of the African Legion."

"Is it really going to be defeated? Is it impossible to avoid it?" Akado looked at his subordinates in confusion and asked with some luck in mind.

Bock smiled bitterly, then found another piece of information and placed it in front of Akado: "Because of the crushing defeat in the Battle of ****, the British commander of North Africa, died of a heart attack and failed rescue. The helpless British king had to let the deputy commander of North Africa take over. This commander is our old acquaintance, so I feel that General Rommel is in danger this time."

"No... it's Montgomery, right?" Akado was stunned, and then suddenly remembered the information that the deputy commander-in-chief of the British Army in North Africa was indeed Montgomery, the famous general who almost drove Lundstetter, who had the advantage in the British mainland.

"Indeed, it was Montgomery. The calmness he showed in the UK was impressive. The general led a force he had never seen before to appear near Tobrook. The number was the 8th Army of the United Kingdom. We cannot confirm the specific situation."

After hearing that it was indeed Montgomery, Acardo sighed, and seemed to have to restrain Rommel. After all, the showdown between him and Montgomery in his previous life ended in the failure of the Desert Fox. Although it was a pity that it was defeated, it made people feel infinite regret and melancholy.

Here we have to mention Rommel, the tragic "Desert Fox", who commanded a series of dazzling offensive operations in North Africa, but at the most important moment he returned to Germany for recuperation due to stomach problems. Then he was appointed as the supreme commander of the German Atlantic Barriers, but he missed the Battle of Normandy for celebrating his wife's birthday. If a student escaped only twice in a semester and was named by the teacher, this can only be said to be tragic. Therefore, as a general, Rommel missed an important battle twice, which is actually very tragic.

"Prepare supplies for Rommel halfway ahead of time. Arrange wherever he can, and help him return to the safe area. He is full of the main force of the empire, so he must ensure the safety of the 7th Armored Division and the 7th Infantry Army."
