"Stark Army?"

Commander-in-chief Baker touched his chin and looked at General Braushich, Chief of Staff of the Army..com He was very cunning and did not make any statement, but handed over the decision to the General Staff. Naming any unit after his own name is a historical action. Many people made this absurd action before they received enough merit, and ended up being ridiculed by people.

Braushichi frowned and smiled bitterly: "Our little Stark seems to be anxious?"

Baker smiled but didn't answer. God knew what the commander-in-chief of the Army was thinking.

Manstein and several generals sat around the conference table. They straightened their waists and looked straight ahead, and they didn't seem to feel that the two of them were in a dilemma.

Originally, they were holding an important meeting to discuss future combat plans for the Western Front. The telegram sent by Xu Yang from the front line made the meeting pause. The senior management never thought that during their service, someone would ask to name the army number after their own name. This was an extremely difficult thing to deal with. Once it was not handled properly, the entire German Third Reich's National Defense Force would become a joke in the world.

Braushichi glanced at Baker with dissatisfaction. He cursed Baker in his heart a hundred times, but he still had to discuss with Baker with a smile. At this moment, Braushichi had another object in addition to Loeb, who would curse in his heart for a long time. This person was definitely the commander-in-chief of the Army.

"For the time being, they have not been able to put aside the benefits of the National Defense Forces. They have not arranged a number for the 15th Army for a day, so they have to stand by. Major General Heidrich..."

Hedrich has always had that dead face. He looked down on these stingy military leaders. He believed that since he had recognized someone, he should boldly create conditions for that person, rather than hesitate with a skeptical attitude. He stood up and said, "Yes! Your Excellency Chief of Staff!"

Braushich decided not to mention the number of the 15th Army for the time being, and shifted the topic to the Soviet side, "You will report the information from the Soviet side."

Heidrich pushed the chair away and walked to the report position. He didn't need to prepare any drafts at all. The information was recorded in his head. "The Soviet Union was ready to invade Poland, but it was still inconvenient to take action due to a non-aggression treaty with Poland. Since the Polish government had evacuated from Warsaw, the Soviet Union had no concerns about this. Our intelligence personnel in the Soviet Union learned that they were expected to officially enter Poland on September 17... Yes, the Soviet Union called the invasion "entry". The slogan was: In order to protect the interests of Ukraine and Belarusian ethnic minorities. The Soviet Belarusian Front and the Ukrainian Front, led by General Kovalev and Timuxingo, had retreated westward across the eastern border of Poland, respectively."

"Our intelligence personnel in France reported; when the French government knew that the Soviet Union was about to march towards Poland, their government officials once cursed in the parliament with great disgrace. The Soviet Union was a rogue country that was unethical. It can be seen that Britain and France may have secret consultations against the Soviet Union that we do not know. I suggest that the head of state take some necessary measures against the Soviet Union to ensure that the enemy will not be added to the east in the short term."

"What we can rest assured is that the British and French coalition forces on the Western Front have not yet prepared military supplies, and they do not have enough ammunition reserves, so they have not launched an attack on our border troops. The Australian and Canadian air force entered French airspace at 10:00 on September 12 and entered the military airport of House, France two hours later. We can foresee that the first step of Britain and France's strategy is to bomb our country, which is like the strategic bombing of Poland before the war begins, intending to attack our people's negative emotions about the war from the will of the people."

Even when Heidrich reported, his face was still the same dead face, which made people feel extremely unhappy.

The only thing that is certain is that the commander is glad that Stark was able to win Heidrich over his side. Heidrich has an unknown intelligence network in his hands. For the Third Reich, nothing is more precious than this.

Keseling had not spoken. When he heard the Australian and Canadian air forces entering France, his brows suddenly frowned. He was thinking about how his air force should deal with the upcoming bombing.

Air Force Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Hans Schponek proposed: "We should bomb them first and blow up the planes that they have not taken off the ground. Doing so can avoid possible losses from the motherland."

Kesseling glanced at Schponneck in dissatisfaction, just because Schponneck was talking nonsense.

Braushich's eyes were still on Heidrich, and he firmly believed that the head of the Imperial Security Department must have something to say.

really……

Heidrich continued: "We temporarily hindered the negotiations between the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Britain. It is reported that these countries are discussing forming a coalition expeditionary force to invade our country. The reason is that we are worried that our country will attack them." His tone suddenly became very cold, "For this reason, my intelligence department sacrificed an excellent intelligence officer, who was burned to death by Luxembourg soldiers with gasoline."

Manstein swallowed his saliva and swallowed the words he originally wanted to propose back to his stomach. He had a very perfect combat plan and could guarantee that the combat plan was sudden enough.

Hedrich conducted an intelligence report for more than an hour. He was like a pair of hawk eyes of the empire, staring at the empire's enemies at any time, providing valuable intelligence to the empire's armed forces so that the commander can make a correct judgment. Before the war began, Hedrich's intelligence personnel had already entered various countries to collect intelligence. He built a huge intelligence network from the distant British London to the heart of the Soviet Union, and a large amount of intelligence was transmitted back to the country every day. Intelligence was defined as the foundation of victory, and it was definitely a great thing to obtain the enemy's movements in advance.

This cold man gained the respect of the National Defense Forces for this. The National Defense Force was amazed by his ability. You must know that the National Defense Forces had its own special intelligence system, which was the Army Intelligence Agency. What made the commander feel dull was that the Army Intelligence Agency, which was originally an orthodox intelligence agency of the Empire, seemed so inaction compared to Heidrich's intelligence agency. The generals would never deny the contribution of a person to the Empire. This is why they could tolerate people they hated to appear at the military conference.

It is absolutely shameless to deny a person's achievements. If a state institution denies the contribution of an individual to the country, then there will be cracks in the foundation of the country, and the ultimate goal will be to bring chronic collapse. Denying a person who contributes and causing the people to doubt the country is absolutely common in history. Germany understands the harm of doing so, so no matter how much he hates a person, as long as he makes contributions to the country, he should definitely be praised!

After Heidrich's report was finished, the conference room fell into deep thought. Canaris was also named to report relevant information. His report was much worse than Heidrich's performance, but he still added some important information, such as the morale of the British and French coalition forces on the Western Front, combat preparations, etc.

After the two intelligence leaders finished reporting, the generals suddenly had a very strange idea, which was to integrate the two intelligence units into an intelligence agency that fully serves the empire. Obviously, the empire currently has two intelligence agencies, which is a waste of resources. However, no generals have mentioned this issue now, and they need to ask the head of state for instructions.

Kesselin wanted to make a difference. He thought for a long time before he decided to make a test on the French air defense line. He said: "I decided to let the 153,253 Henlk e-111 tactical bomber units in Munich. They will conduct tentative bombings on the Lorraine-Alsace region of France under the protection of the 136th Messerschmid BF-109f Franchise air force, and the 334th Emil interceptor stationed in Essen."

The Route Army agreed with the Air Force's proposal. The Army needed the Air Force to capture the Maginot Line, which is known as the world's strongest Maginot Line, from the sky, its defense; fortresses, air defense, troop density, and detailed terrain.

And at this moment, Manstein finally had the opportunity to speak. He actually asked Blaushich for instructions before he stood up, "Dear generals..."

Manstein successfully pulled everyone's eyes to himself, and he walked slowly towards the reporting station, walking very steadily.

He just suggested turning the main attack direction to the Arden Mountains, and the generals began to look strange.

In Manstein's view, the Ardennes were definitely the most unexpected, and the British and French coalition forces would not believe that the Germans would choose this difficult route.

The generals had strange expressions because they were unbelievable. The reason was that the Ardennes were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the infantry was difficult to pass during World War I, so it was even more impossible for the German mechanized troops to launch a main attack here. They wanted to ask Manstein's basis for such suggestions.

Manstein's basic idea is to use powerful tank troops to pass through southern Belgium and Luxembourg, reach Sedan, break through the Maginot in the region to extend the defense line, and go straight to the Atlantic coast to divide France into two.

Before the incident, Manstein asked tank expert Guderian, armor theory star Kahn von Sdaq, and armor breakthrough expert Ronderstedt. All three of them confirmed that a large-scale tank cluster could pass through the Ardennes Pass successfully. This gave Manstein the basis for making suggestions. He believed that as long as the three armored experts of the Empire determined that the armored troops could pass through the Ardennes Pass smoothly, the generals would no longer have reasons to object.
