- On March 23, 1966, Lieutenant General Corrett, commander of the U.S. 2nd Armored Cavalry Division, was ambushed by the Germans and died at 12:30 noon.
The death of Lieutenant General Koret brought this war to its true end.
The body of the Lieutenant General was given a good burial, which was an order personally issued by Marshal Ernst Brahm.
Although Lieutenant General Corian once behaved quite rudely and arrogantly, from a military point of view, he had nothing to blame.
Thousands of enemies have laid down their weapons, and there is no point in continuing to fight.
At 15:00 pm on March 23, Marshal Ernst Brahm of the German Empire announced the end of the Second Berlin Counterattack!
In this battle, the U.S. 2nd Armored Cavalry Division suffered a devastating blow, and the rest of the Allied forces also suffered heavy losses.
The Allies' defeat this time far exceeded the losses in the first Berlin offensive and defensive battle. After the war, Allied Commander-in-Chief Westmoreland had to say sadly:
"This failure has brought us such a huge blow that it is beyond our ability to bear In the long years to come, we simply will not have the strength to launch a third attack. We have no choice but to We have to face frontal enemy attacks and endless resistance from the occupied areas. I think the most difficult period for the Allied forces in Germany has comeor we will be driven out of here soon ¡±
This was a far-reaching war, and Berlin successfully escaped the biggest crisis, although they still had little advantage compared to their enemies. But they know that they are not far away from driving all their enemies from their land.
The goddess of victory has returned to Germany!
The battlefield was cheering. The city of Berlin cheered. They were cheering for their heroes and for this great victory. He is also cheering for Germany¡¯s legendary heroes:
Ernst Alexson von Brahm¡ª¡ªThe Skeleton Baron!
Wherever he is, there will always be miracles
"This is just the beginning" Facing all the brave and fearless German soldiers, all German citizens and their allies, Wang Weiyi said:
"I am happy for this victory. I am as excited as every one of you, but I tell myself that I must stay calm because. On our land, the enemy still exists. As long as there is still an enemy in our land , the war will never endSoldiers, citizens, every German citizen in the occupied areas, I ask you to launch a full-scale counterattack, for our final victory, for the greatness of Germany. Glory! I have left you before, but this time I promise you that even if I win the final victory, I will never leave you again!"
Crazy cries rang out inside and outside Berlin Baron Alexson would never leave them again
"Germany will return to normal order, and the world will also return to normal order." Wang Weiyi's voice continued: "And this requires the efforts of all of us. We will restore the status of a great power. Just like in the past, because Germany is Moving forward on the right path. I am grateful to every soldier or ordinary person who fought for Germany. I am also grateful to our ally, the United Kingdom. As we all know, Germany and the United Kingdom have had unpleasant experiences in history. Now it's all over. Germany and Britain share one goal: freedom! Nothing is more precious than these two words, I swear, after Germany's victory. The same powerful army will personally escort the true monarch of Britain back to London, that is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth"
Fanatic cheers rang out again
The baron¡¯s declaration was heard by Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip, as well as all British people in Berlin. At this moment, their eyes filled with tears.
They had given up hope of returning to London because their last refuge, Berlin, was also in danger. But when all of them were desperate, a miracle finally happened.
That is the miracle brought by Baron Alexon!
Nothing in this world is impossible, as long as your heart is always full of hope
?¡
"Congratulations, Baron, you are always able to bring us everything we need when we need you most." In the Empire State Building, Adolf Hitler could not conceal his excitement: "For God's sake, tell me, we Is it really a victory?"
"Yes, F¨¹hrer, we really won." Rommel said.
"No, we are still far from victory." Wang Weiyi said: "The enemy is still in Berlin, where we can see???square. Although we successfully defended Berlin for the second time and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy, our own strength also suffered great losses. "
Hitler shrugged: "Maybe, but who cares? We have Baron Alexson, but the enemy does not."
The head of state¡¯s words put smiles on everyone¡¯s faces, even Wang Weiyi was no exception
"Okay, put away the joy of victory." Wang Weiyi regained his composure: "There is still a lot to do, Fels, tell me your progress."
"Yes, I will report to you right now." Fels said quickly: "In those occupied cities, we have armed a large number of resistance organizations and guerrillas. Marshal, this will be our completely trustworthy force. . After this battle started, without the assistance of these resistance organizations, I don¡¯t think we would have achieved such results The Allies suffered great losses, and their strength was not infinite. I have An order was issued to order resistance organizations in various places to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, continue to organize armed uprisings in various places, and not give the enemy a moment of respite"
"Very good!" Wang Weiyi nodded: "This failure will plunge our enemies into chaos. At the same time, their own internal conflicts will also arise uncontrollably because of the failure. I think our pace should be accelerated. Bonkerrei. What's the situation there?"
"The new secret supplies will arrive before the end of this month." Bunkerere quickly replied: "Marshal, we must thank those secret allies for their efforts. Without their help, I don't think we would be able to achieve today's victory. I also thought I would be very busy."
"They are not unconditional aid" Wang Weiyi muttered with a smile.
The reactivation of the "New York League" is more important than any victory on the battlefield.
"What about Ukraine?"
"The troops commanded by Marshal Korkorok repelled several attacks by the Russian army at the beginning of the counterattack in Berlin. Our reinforcements have entered Ukraine and are now fighting with the Ukrainian rebels. I believe that Russia People don¡¯t have much power to deal with us for the time being"
"Everything is going on the good side" Wang Weiyi murmured, and then he raised his voice: "Marshal Manstein and Marshal Model were also in North Africa and The Middle East launched a counterattack and achieved great results. I decided to launch a general offensive in June 1966! Drive all enemies from our land before October!
The mood was high, although the German marshals and generals did not know why Baron Alexson was so sure
But which one of the things he did turned out not to be correct
?¡
The second battle to defend Berlin was successful, but Berlin suffered huge trauma.
??The German capital and largest city has never suffered such trauma in history. The wounds caused by war will be healed sooner or later, but the psychological wounds may last for a long, long time.
Those are hovering in the sky all day long. The enemy planes that had brought so much suffering to the city were gone, and the Germans found a rare moment of peace.
The resilience and strength of the Germanic nation are best demonstrated here. They worked tenaciously on the ruins. Every one of them knew that the war was not over, and every one of them knew that they could not stop doing what they were doing.
But they are not afraid because they have seen the smile of the goddess of victory
What Wang Weiyi saw was the strength of the Germans
A priest was murmuring a prayer for a deceased person, while the relatives of the deceased stood aside calmly. Wait until the priest's prayer is over. They just buried the bodies of their loved ones.
"Poor man." Wang Weiyi whispered.
"I came into this world naked and I should leave like this" The priest didn't know who the person standing in front of him was: "Do you know who said this? I think this sentence It¡¯s also useful now.¡±
"Old Frederick William, the father of Frederick the Great." Wang Weiyi quickly replied: "This was said before he died, but you didn't finish it. Father. After he finished saying this, I struggled to sit up and said, 'No, I'm going to at least die wearing my uniform,' and I think that's the most important thing."
"Yes, you know the history of Germany very well." The priest nodded: "Then Frederick hurried back to Berlin to succeed the king, named Frederick II. He was also the future Emperor Frederick. But you Do you know the boyhood of this great monarch?"
Wang Weiyi shook his head, and the priest smiled and said: "He is a naughty child, a future heir to the throne who gives his father a headache. Frederick William set such a rule for the court teachers, 'I don't want Feite Lie's mind is full of useless things. He can only be taught modern German history, political economy, military strategy, mathematics, German and French. He does not need to learn any history before the 16th century, and only the Germanic history of Germany after that. . He is not allowed to teach Latin, absolutely not necessary! 'However, the young Frederick was far from satisfied with the curriculum given to him by his strict father. When he was just 8 years old, he asked his teacher to learn Latin. The teacher was hesitant at first, but under Frederick's insistence, he finally gave in and began to secretly teach him Latin, and at the same time began to teach him knowledge that Frederick William had forbidden, such as literature and music. This secret was accidentally discovered by the old Frederic William. In a rage, he yelled at the teacher, "What are you teaching my son about birdsong!" Knowledge. He secretly bought literature and philosophy books, quietly learned music, and tried to play the flute"
"This is probably what makes Emperor Frederick the Great unique." Wang Weiyi sighed softly: "If he did exactly what his father said, he might never be able to become a great monarch."
The priest fully agreed with the other party's opinion: "Yes, I think so. But do you know what Frederick the Great's greatest contribution was to Germany? It was not his great military victory, but his contribution to the prosperity of Germany. contribution.¡±
Wang Weiyi became a little curious, and the priest said as he walked forward: "During the Battle of Moritz, although the Prussian army had begun to gain an advantage, Frederick was still so frightened by the fierce and cruel battlefield that he was so scared of Shen General Mo Linyuan said, "The war made me feel dizzy. I will hand over the command to you. I need to take a rest now." In the end, the Prussian infantry launched a counterattack under the command of the commander, forcing the Austrian army to retreat, and it stands to reason that they won. Such a monarch cannot be called great. And then, he became the most remarkable figure in German history"
The priest paused briefly: "After several victorious wars, Prussia ushered in more than ten years of peace. And Frederick also began to turn his attention to domestic construction. Under his auspices, the Berlin Academy of Sciences was established. He himself became an honorary member, and at the same time, Frederick also began to allocate a royal fee for scientific scholarships to encourage the development and progress of science and technology. On the other hand, he required all nobles to reform basic education. All children must go to school, and the male children must also enter military schools and serve in the military for at least 5 years. For civilian education, he also adopts a policy of universal compulsory education and strives to improve the education level and quality of the entire country. On the one hand, Frederick also opened up freedom of speech and publication in Prussia for the first time, breaking the news restrictions on newspapers and even allowing cartoons that vilified him to be publicly displayed in Berlin bookstores. In his own words, "I have reached an agreement with my people." After the agreement was reached, I did what I wanted to do and the people said what they wanted to say'"
Wang Weiyi nodded slightly. This was a great achievement for a monarch at that time.
The priest seemed to know Emperor Frederick the Great very well: "Of course, the construction of the army would not be ignored by Frederick. He invested a lot of money in this. But at the same time, Frederick did not want to lose money due to the increase in military expenditures. It affected or even destroyed the development of the entire country's economic system, so he adopted a relatively unique method because as king, Frederick himself was the largest landowner in Prussia, and he owned one-third of the land income of the entire Prussian nobility. First, Frederick invested 80% of his income in the construction of the national army and tried not to deduct it from the national government's budget as military expenditure. In this way, the policy of building a strong army and the existence of the government would not affect capitalism. Development had too great a negative impact, and on the contrary these factors had a special force of leadership when Germany entered capitalism"
"So you see, war can make a person a great person, but it may not necessarily be called a great person." The priest suddenly changed the subject: "A truly great person is someone who, while leading his country to continuous military victories, must also Let the country recover from the trauma of the war in a timely manner, so that the people will no longer worry about poverty, and let the people have a strong sense of belonging and pride in their country.¡±
Wang Weiyi¡¯s eyebrows twitched: ¡°Do you know who I am?¡±
"Of course, Baron Alexon." The priest said with a smile: "From the first minute you appeared, I knew who you were? But since you don't want to reveal your identity, why should I tell you? "
"What about now?" Wang Weiyi asked with the same smile.
¡°?Just think, I have told you so many things about Frederick the Great, you can think of something from them. The priest said calmly: "I firmly believe that Germany will win under your leadership, but what happens after the victory?" Will you exact a ferocious revenge? Ah, you might. But I still want to suggest that leading Germany out of the trauma of the war as quickly as possible is the first priority. "
"Do you suggest that I don't take revenge?" Wang Weiyi narrowed his eyes.
"I am a servant of God, and mercy is what we must abide by." The priest was not afraid at all: "But I want to ask you, after we lost the victory in the First World War, what force led Germany to rise again? Yes. Suffering, endless suffering. However, the society is different now. The people are willing to follow you, but the prerequisite is that they must have a stable and prosperous country. I don¡¯t think you will ignore this.¡±
Wang Weiyi nodded slightly. Although he did not completely agree with the priest's opinion, there were some truths in it that he was willing to think about carefully.
"Thank you, Father, for telling me some stories today and giving me some inspiration. I think I will consider it carefully." Wang Weiyi straightened his clothes: "Are you really just a priest?"
"Yes, I am just God's most faithful servant!" The priest's voice was not very loud.
Wang Weiyi smiled and said: "Then, I hope to see you again soon!" - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
