Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 81 Manstein
PS: The class is full and there is no manuscript saved, so it is late, sorry guys, and thanks to the robot Tianyu for the reward.

For example, as imagined, Fritz Erich von Manstein's role as the military teacher of the Nord royal family has indeed caused quite a lot of controversy, especially some war-persecuted people in Britain and France. Demonstration against the actions of the Royal Family of the Duchy of Nord.

Nord is better than that. After all, even in World War II, they did not have much persecution, and even a group of German soldiers stationed in the Principality of Nord were very friendly.In fact, this is also because the territory of the Principality of Nord is small, and the people who are stationed here are recruits and reserve soldiers. The kindness is still in their hearts, and they cannot do excessive things.

The other teachers had not yet arrived. Fritz Erich von Manstein was already standing alone in front of the Nord Palace. The old soldier, who was over eighty years old, was still so energetic. Prison life was not in this place. What shadow is left in the heart of the old man. (Conditionally, change Fritz Erich von Manstein's date of birth.)
"Mr. Manstein, hello, I'm Joseph."

After all, he is a teacher. Joseph has no reason to wait for others to enter the door. The police have a bad reputation, but their merits are worthy of recognition. No matter what they have done before, it is the responsibility of the generals of a country. , Personality has nothing to do.

Fritz Erich von Manstein looked very kind. It was hard to imagine that he had hundreds of thousands of lives in his hands during World War II, and it was hard to imagine that he was an executioner.Fritz Erich von Manstein was known as Count Lightning, Lightning Sword, and Imperial Eagle.

"I'm just a sinner, Your Highness doesn't need to be so polite."

The words were very gentle, and the sharp eyes in the past were much calmer. Joseph looked at him and his heart throbbed. Maybe his guess was wrong. The prison life did not cast any shadow on him, but the defeat in the war did hit this tactician. Master, German star!
"Sinner..., Mr. Manstein, I have only heard a saying that history is only written for the victors, Germany's defeat is inevitable but you are not a sinner, because you are a soldier and a general of Germany!"

Joseph did not simply excuse Stein, but this sentence was his true heart. Joseph had complicated feelings for Germany. First of all, he admired Germany, its famous generals and bravery, even though he created many in Europe. Sin, but war is always like that, isn't it?

On the other hand, as the Grand Duke of Nord and the passive side of the war, he was somewhat hostile to Germany.Of course, this is purely the reaction of this body. After all, Ragnar I and II suffered a lot in World War II.

"Not to mention this, I am honored to be able to serve as a teacher to Joseph."

"The honor should be mine, General Manstein."

General... What a long-standing title. I haven't heard these two words side by side with my name for several years. In a trance, he looked at Joseph with a much more cordial gaze.

With the help of Abner, Manstein came to the Nord Palace. It can be seen that Manstein's body is very thin, which is also normal. After all, although he was a military adviser to the German Ministry of Defense before arriving, The precautions everywhere made the old general very sad, and the treatment was not very good. Naturally, his health was getting worse day by day.

In fact, Germany still values ​​Manstein very much. Although it only uses the military knowledge and capabilities in Manstein's mind, Germany and the Nord Principality are in the honeymoon period at this time, so the invitation of the Nord royal family makes it impossible for the German government. reject.Manstein is not very willing to leave Germany, but his family members are highly regarded. For the family, he can only leave his homeland and come to Nord, but he is very satisfied now.

The environment of the Principality of Nord, the importance of the cabinet, and the respect of Joseph all allowed Manstein to regain some of his former confidence. Joseph was regarded as his closed disciple. In addition, under such circumstances, he naturally wanted to use all his knowledge. All passed on to Joseph.

only……

"Mr. Manstein, I appreciate your ability, but now is not the time of World War II, the nuclear age has come, and those ancient tactics are no longer of much use."

Joseph and Manstein got into an unfriendly quarrel with Manstein within two words of the conversation. Of course Manstein would not leave in anger because of this. Not only would he not do so, but he would be more interested in criticizing Joseph. In his eyes Joseph, who has such insights at this age, is undoubtedly a talent to be made.

Yes, it's just a material that can be made, although even some military geniuses don't have such insights at this age, but he is just mature, and he has not shown a unique talent in this regard, which is surprising only because of his age That's all, any other adult could say something like that.

"What is the fundamental purpose of the war? It is victory! Joseph, don't forget that I was a military adviser to the German Ministry of Defense before I came to the Principality of Nord. I am very clear about the current situation."

Joseph chuckled lightly and said something that Joseph gritted his teeth but couldn't refute. No one thought that Manstein would not solve the problem fundamentally but began to rely on his old man to sell his old age.

Ok!Anyway, Joseph didn't intend to become a general. He was a disciple of Manstein and had a little knowledge of military affairs. Let him do whatever else!
With this in mind, Joseph began to talk seriously with Manstein. Although it was not a formal class, Joseph liked the way of learning knowledge through such conversations.

The most powerful thing in Germany is the blitzkrieg, and Manstein is undoubtedly one of the founders of it. Similar classic cases and military theories must be indispensable in the discussion. Joseph nodded from time to time to express that he agrees with Manstein's words.

Time passed unknowingly, and at noon Abner brought up a plate of pastries from China, which was made by the cook from Xinhua News Agency, which was regarded as a small tribute to the famous general Manstein.

"Plum cake?"

Manstein has obviously seen such food, not only said it but also in Chinese, but he obviously didn't speak very clearly, and his enunciation has an obvious foreigner style, uh... If Joseph now goes to Huaxia, he should also be a foreigner .

"Have you ever eaten Manstein? I have a cook from China here, if the teacher likes..."

"I like it, I like it very much. When I was young, my father was an official in Qingdao. Every time I went back to Prussia, he would bring me a plate of plum cakes."

Manstein was born in a Prussian aristocrat and served as a German military officer in Qingdao during World War I, so he ate similar food, so how old should Manstein be at that time!Does he still remember very clearly now?Joseph thought a little strangely.

"Joseph, it gives me a deep memory, really deep!"

Unknowingly, Joseph thought of himself in his previous life, the old locust tree not far from the door, the lively village when he was a child...for a while he was actually addicted to it.

"Huaxia is a magical place with a lot of delicious food!"

This is Manstein's concluding remarks, and Joseph couldn't help but add in his heart that it is also an unforgettable place for a lifetime, especially for people living in other places, even if only their souls are left alone.
