Chapter 138 Cultivation of a Famous General (For Collection)
"Your Highness!" Qin Tian was called just as he walked out of the palace. It turned out that the Minister of War von Falkenhain was waiting there.
"Minister of the Army!" Qin Tian walked over.
"Your Highness, there is something I want to say to Your Highness."
"Well, let's talk in the car." Qin Tian nodded.
The two got into von Falkenhain's car. The driver has already got out of the car, and the security personnel are also on guard a few meters away from the car.
"Your Highness, Little Mao Qi and Prittwitz have gone too far today. They actually persecuted His Highness like this. However, Your Highness shouldn't be impulsive and fall into their trap!" Feng ? Falkenhain is worried.
"I know they deliberately provoked me. However, I have confidence in the 8th Army. I believe that the future 8th Army will be able to withstand the Russian attack." Qin Tian looked very confident.
Although von Falkenhain was willing to believe in Qin Tian, he was the Minister of War and was very familiar with the situation of the German Army and the situation of the Russian Army. In his opinion, the 8th Army's chances of winning are not great. But this is the end of the matter, and it is useless for him to say anything else.
"May God bless Your Highness!"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Minister of War. God will definitely be on my side." Qin Tian smiled.
"However, Your Excellency the Minister of War, I think what you should think about is, after the 8th Army has resisted the Russian attack and proved that the 8th Army's military system reform is correct, can you take this opportunity to remove Moltke from the General Assembly?" He has been the chief of staff for many years. In my opinion, with his ability, he is simply not qualified for the position of chief of staff. If we can take this opportunity to oust him , That is undoubtedly the best thing. At that time, Your Excellency can also serve as the chief of the general staff." Qin Tian said.
Von Falkenhain's eyes immediately brightened. Indeed, according to Qin Tian, if the 8th Army succeeds, it will undoubtedly prove that Mao Qi is wrong. Then, naturally, he should pay the price for it. Resigning from the position of chief of staff can be regarded as an explanation for this. At that time, the position of chief of staff, isn't that still his?
"Your Highness, if you need me to do anything, just tell me!" von Falkenhain said.
"Keep an eye on little Maoqi, I'm not afraid of his provocations in a fair manner. But I'm worried that he will make a stumbling block." Qin Tian said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will keep an eye on him, and I will never let him cause trouble for you." Von Falkenhain assured, patting his chest.
Qin Tian nodded, it would be the best if Xiao Maoqi didn't make trouble.
"By the way, the few people on this list, if you find a way to transfer to the 8th Army, I will use it a lot." Qin Tian handed a piece of paper to von Falkenhain.
Although, I don't know why Qin Tian wanted to find these people, but von Falkenhain still agreed wholeheartedly.
After Qin Tian left, von Falkenhain opened the list. There are only three names above, namely Fritz Erich von Manstein, Heinz William Guderian and Erwin Rommel.
Von Falkenhain couldn't help frowning. Because he didn't know any of these three people. However, Qin Tian seemed to attach great importance to them. Therefore, he had to go all out to find it.
It is normal for von Falkenhain not to know these three people. Both Manstein and Guderian are in their early twenties. Rommel was only eighteen years old. However, in another time and space, they were the three famous generals of the famous Third Reich.
In the foreign wars of the Third Reich, these few people made great military exploits. Of course, personal ability is also extremely good. Qin Tian hoped that in this time and space, he would train them before they made a fortune, so that they could show their talents in advance. In this case, he can be regarded as having his own team. In future wars, these young famous generals will definitely shine.
Qin Tian didn't stay in Berlin much, especially since Princess Gundlinde was not in Berlin, but returned to Munich, so it was meaningless for him to stay in Berlin.
After returning to Königsberg, Hindenburg and Ludendorff immediately joined hands.
"Your Highness, we all know what happened in Berlin. Moltke and Prittwitz are really too much. But His Highness is betting on the succession to the throne, and the bet is too big!" Hindenburg sighed.
"There's no way around it. Little Mao Qi and Plittwitz have been aggressive all the time. If I don't satisfy them, they will keep holding on. However, I believe that the 8th Army will definitely In future wars, they will defeat the Russians. At that time, they will naturally have nothing to say." Qin Tian looked confident.
"That's the end of the matter, and that's the only way!" Ludendorff also nodded.
"I have already urged the German Arms Company and Krupp Company. They will give priority to supplying the weapons and equipment we need. The reorganization of the troops must be accelerated. I don't want the war that broke out in a few years, we will I really will lose." Qin Tian said.
"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness, we will do our best to ensure victory." Hindenburg promised.
Now, they can only fight with their backs. If he lost, Qin Tian would certainly lose his crown prince position. But again, they can't escape the good. Their military career will even end because of this.
A month later, Manstein and Guderian went to the 8th Army to report. The current rank of both of them is only second lieutenant. They are also confused about this transfer order. As for Rommel, Falkenhain replied that he was not found in the army system. Qin Tian thought for a while, and it should be that Rommel hadn't joined the army yet, so he had to give up temporarily.
Qin Tian personally met Manstein and Guderian, which flattered them. After some encouragement, both of them had a good impression of Qin Tian. Qin Tian assigned the two of them to the staff of the 8th Army, and together with Ludendorff presided over the reorganization of the army, and the military rank was directly promoted by one level. Qin Tian planned to let them stay in the army staff headquarters for a while, and then make arrangements later.
Manstein is a master tactician, suitable to be a chief of staff. Guderian and Rommel, who had already been booked by Qin Tian, were rare handsome talents. Qin Tian still wanted to let them be the commanders of the armored forces after the tanks were developed!
