In the rare room with windows in the wolf's den, Akado sat on the sofa, watching Fengchen come to see him. This man had just finished a tough battle and resisted the attacks of two main Soviet fronts with an army he commanded. He can be said to be a well-deserved general.

"General Liszt, thank you for your hard work, please sit down!" Akado smiled and pointed to the sofa opposite the coffee table. Anna had already poured a glass of red wine for the general who rushed back to the wolf's den from the front line. Liszt walked to the sofa and sat down like this, looking at Akado respectfully without saying a word.

He knew that Akado had a lot to say, and he also had a lot to say to Akado, but everything had to wait for Akado to speak first. This is order, and it cannot be confused. In Germany, everything must be subject to order. Only those that follow the order can last for a long time. This is a nation with paranoid and fanatical attitude towards machinery and a habit of marrow.

"I know that the e-group army is fighting very hard, and the entire army has lost nearly one-fifth of its troops, so I ordered the F-group army to move south and take over your defense line. Do you have no objection?" Akado didn't ask Liszt to wait for long, and said directly.

"My head! The e-group army can continue to fight! I don't want to put the entire army in a situation where there is nothing to do after experiencing an arduous battle." Liszt wanted to get up and speak, but Akado reached out to stop him. He hesitated for a second with his butt sticking out, then sat back to his seat and continued to speak: "You know, the e-group army has been striving to be the best force. We are not afraid of losses and are willing to fight for the motherland to the end!"

Akado nodded. Of course he knew how much the e-Group Army had paid for the Third Reich Army, so that the Army Marshal Blauchchillundstedt and Rommel all praised General Liszt, the commander of the e-Group Army. It can be said that within the army, this e-Group Army commander is definitely one of the most powerful generals.

If you ask why so many generals have good working relationships with Liszt? It must start with the expansion of the German Army. In fact, in order to train professional command talents, the National Defense Forces have long incorporated infantry into the E-Group Army and F-Group Army on the Eastern Front for similar "internship training".

In this way, the e-group army and the F-group army were seriously over-company. At its peak, the total number of these two armies exceeded 1 million. If we look at the organization simply, the force commanded by Liszt had reached or even exceeded the total force of an army group.

However, as time went by, after the German army trained command talents of various levels on the front line, they split the e-group army. This is a bit like the 26th Light Cavalry Division that was split when the National Defense Forces was expanded in the early years. If the 26th Light Cavalry Division formed by Rommel was the cradle of the National Defense Forces armored forces, then the e-group army was the cradle of the German Army Army.

At the earliest, due to the need to expand the local A-group Army, 100,000 soldiers were drawn from the E-group Army to build the main force of this new army. The commander of this army was Lundstedt. The subsequent formation of the J-group Army under Hot, who invaded the Balkans, also transferred 100,000 troops from the E-group Army and the F-group Army to ensure that the German army could wipe out the Balkan resistance forces in one fell swoop.

Then in order to support Rommel's North African operations, the Supreme Command decided to form a new army K Army, the commander-in-chief was Scherner. This army drew 70,000 veterans from the e-group army as a skeleton, which was almost at a level of 100,000.

Immediately afterwards, Manstein was ordered to form the M Group Army, and also transferred 200,000 troops from the E Group Army, so Manstein led his troops to kill all over the world in Krim and fought beautiful battles again and again.

After a while, the e-group army was almost transferred to a total of 500,000 troops, but not many recruits were added, most of which were supplemented into these newly formed armies, and not many were assigned to the e-group army, which was not short of personnel.

If you look at the connection between the e-group army and these newly formed troops, you will know why Liszt is remembered by so many military leaders. It is precisely because of this that when the battle began, the e-group army, which originally had 1.1 million troops, had only 510,000 combat troops at the beginning of the battle (some soldiers were resting in the rear).

As a result, in this battle that concerns the life and death of the Empire, the Lister Group Army lost one-fifth of its troops and continued to fight, which was unanimously praised by all senior imperial generals. Therefore, Marshal Bolausich and Akado agreed to award the Lister Sword Oak Leaf Knight Iron Cross to commend his tenacious performance in this battle.

"Getting your army down is not a distrust of the combat effectiveness of the e army, but on the one hand, we have to move a frontal approach to launch an attack on the A army, and your army also needs time to replenish and rest." Akado said to Liszt with a smile: "The new Barbarossa plan has been launched. When attacking Minsk, your army will fill the frontal battlefield, as a main force cluster to attack Leningrad, and then assist Finland in attacking Kurmansk."

"My head, if you believe in my ability, please let me command the e-Group Army as the main force to attack Moscow. I promise to capture this city!" Liszt assured Akado: "I am more willing to attack Moscow than Leningrad!"

For the generals on the Eastern Front of Germany, capturing Moscow may be an obsession, and it is also something similar to a spiritual totem. The long wait for 8 months, the endless small-scale battles that constantly tear people's willpower, the daily shelling, the trenches dug every day, the number of ammunition reserves checked every day, and the repeated frontline life every day, all make people desperate.

So when a large-scale battle broke out and hundreds of thousands or millions of troops strangled together, all the commanders of the German Eastern Front heard that after the start of the new Barbarossa, they had a place in their hearts that had to be erased, and that place was Moscow.

Capturing the enemy's capital will undoubtedly be an affirmation of the combat capabilities of the commander on the Eastern Front and the best praise for the soldiers. Without any suspense, Liszt also put this glory in his heart. When he heard the head of state transfer him to attack Leningrad, he seemed uncomfortable.

"First of all, as the north of the entire defense line, I need a trustworthy and honest general to take charge. Even if it is just right, it cannot cause trouble for our next attack plan. I have been thinking about it for a long time and feel that I will feel more at ease." Akado restrained his smile and said to Liszt solemnly: "I personally will use other honors to compensate you for your losses."

He stood up and said, "I will let Weix and Moder become the marshal of the Third Reich after the Battle of Moscow, and this is the first idea I have brought up, so you are the first to hear these words."

After Liszt stood up with fear and fear, Akado continued to speak: "Since I left Moscow to Weix and Moder, I plan to hand it over to him in Kursk or Smolensk."

"After Manstein conquered the entire Caucasus, I will also give him an explanation. I have never been stingy with the scepter of the Imperial Marshal. As long as you can follow me and complete the rise of the German nation in Europe!" As if he was afraid that Liszt would not be shocked enough, Akado said Weix and Moder and mentioned Manstein again.

Liszt followed Akado, and the more he heard it, the more frightened he became. He knew what Akado said now, which means that the current commander generals will arrange their homes within two years. These generals became successful and famous with the head of state, becoming a legendary story in the imperial world.

"And you, General Liszt." Akado turned around, glanced at his general, and then pointed to Kurmansk and Leningrad on the map beside him: "When you complete your offensive plan, I will promote you to Marshal of the Empire. This is my promise, and I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."

"My Head! As your most loyal general, I promise you! The e-Group Army will definitely capture Leningrad and bury this city ruled by evil!" Liste stood attentively and promised Akado: "Tomorrow I will return to my command center and mobilize the troops to rest and advance north."

"We are all working for a common goal, my general." Akado looked out the snowy window and finally said to Liszt: "Go, for the future of the Third Reich of Germany, bring victory to me!"

"Yes! Head of State!" Liszt turned around, straightened his rocker, and walked firmly towards the office door.

...

Just as Acardo sent Liszt out of the wolf's den, a new round of bombing kicked off in the sky in front of the Soviet Union due to the improvement of the weather. More than 100 butcher bombers flew over Smolensk under the escort of 40 fighters, where they dropped bombs of about 500 tons. The entire city was trapped in a sea of ​​fire, and fear lingered in people's hearts.

"Why are you so anxious to dispatch planes to attack the enemy's depths? This will arouse the alertness of the Soviets and be detrimental to our further actions." An air force fighter commander frowned and whispered to his colleagues around him.
