Imperial Overlord

: Forty-five Marshals

"Here, I confer the rank of marshal representing the highest honor of the empire to you. I hope you can continue to fight bravely and fearlessly!"

"For the country, for the German people, and for our lofty and powerful beliefs! Long live the great Germany!" Li Le raised his hands and clenched his fists into the microphone.

"Victory! Head of State!" Below the steps, all the senior officers of the National Defense Forces who were able to be present raised their arms.

After all, the people standing here can be said to be all respectable generals in the army. Of course, except for the unfortunate Witzleben...

He seemed to be the only one in the entire venue who didn't raise his arm. He looked at Li Le on the steps angrily, as if he wanted to kill him with his own eyes.

If anger can ignite some objects in reality, Li Le may have been burned to death on the podium by now.

The unfortunate Witzleben had already heard of his own experience. He was sold by the army commander, the current field marshal, Brauchitch, and he sold it for a good price.

Brausich, who was presenting the marshal's scepter by the Führer, had a faint smile on his face, and the applause from the steps seemed to lift the roof.

It was these two people who planned the exile of Witzleben to train the troops. One of them got the purpose of killing oneself, and the other received an order for a full 2,500 No. 4 tanks.

"The marshal of the army is so shameless to be a lackey for a corporal!" His hand hanging on the edge of his trousers clenched his fist, suppressing the anger in his heart.

His adjutant nervously looked at the generals applauding from both sides, and heaved a sigh of relief after finding that no one cared.

After the French campaign, the army generals had been looking forward to this harvest moment, and everyone knew that a large number of generals would be promoted.

Sure enough, this was a happy moment for the army generals. From the commander-in-chief Brauchitch to the army commander, so many generals got the title of marshal.

There is nothing to complain about, except that the title has become somewhat depreciated by being promoted too many marshals, everyone thinks that the Fuhrer is a generous person.

Of course, another unpleasant reason is that in order to promote the two air marshals, Goering became the "reich marshal" surpassing Brauchitch.

The good news is that in addition to continuing to manage the Air Force, the so-called Imperial Marshal cannot cross the line to meddle in Army affairs - just a title, which is acceptable.

The flash began to flicker, and the reporters frantically recorded one exciting moment after another with the camera.

The birth of field marshals one after another marked the glorious victory of the war to conquer France.

Bock took the marshal's scepter, raised his chin and raised his arm towards Li Le: "Victory! Head of State!"

Li Le smiled and returned a military salute, and then continued to walk towards another famous general who came back to be awarded the honor.

"Keitel! I hope you can continue to win!" Li Le handed the scepter in his hand to his loyal servant.

At the same time, his heart was bleeding - he really wanted such a pure gold scepter! Even if such valuable materials are not used, this scepter is definitely the best collection of World War II enthusiasts!

He really wanted to keep one, and he would show it off to others when he went out on weekdays, because it was the scepter of the German marshal! Each one represents blood and pesticides! cough cough cough.

"Victory! Führer! I will continue to be loyal to you and strive for the greatest victory for you and the motherland!" Keitel replied with a salute.

Marshal Lundstedt was someone Li Le deliberately called back because this general was the commander of his preferred Sea Lion project.

Behind him, there are Kluge, Loeb, Liszt, and Reichenau that everyone is familiar with.

Of course, there are also Air Force generals promoted by Milch and Li Le's favorite talent Kesselring.

A full 10 generals were promoted to field marshals here, and one marshal was promoted to the imperial marshal. This is a brilliant event.

The media will not save their own film, they desperately press the shutter in their hands, hoping that they can record the most wonderful moments.

"Victory! Führer!" When Li Le completed the promotion ceremony for the last person, all the marshals raised their arms and raised their right hands to Li Le: "Long live Germany!"

"Thank you for everything you did for Germany! Thank you for bringing back the victory!" Li Le also raised his arm.

This is the first historic event that he has personally experienced since the fake head of state passed through. He was really intoxicated and immersed in the solemn and majestic atmosphere around him.

Just when everyone applauded enthusiastically, except for the unfortunate Witzleben, an officer hurried into the meeting.

He walked over to Misch, who was in charge of the security of the Fuhrer, and after saying a few words to the other person's ear, he passed the guarding SS soldiers on the outer two floors.

Walking to the head of the state, the officer stood there. When Li Le approached him two steps, he quietly reported an important matter.

"My head of state...in Libya, oil has been found!" The officer's voice trembled a little, because obviously this was a very exciting news.

Li Le's dangling heart was relieved, and the tension that accompanied him for more than ten days finally disappeared.

No matter how later generations claim that there is no difficulty in the exploitation of Libyan oil fields, even how later generations can determine that Libya has strong oil reserves.

But during World War II, this oil field did not exist. Li Le is also not really sure whether the exploitation of Libyan oil fields will be successful.

He who has passed through in later generations only knows that there are oil fields in Libya, and where there are oil fields, which are easy to exploit and have a lot of reserves - as for whether they can actually be exploited, it depends on the will of God.

It seems that God is indeed on his side and let him find the Libyan oil field. With this oil field, the Third Reich really has the possibility to steer the war situation in a direction that is beneficial to him!

"Can the news be wrong?" Li Le looked at the officer who came to report the letter, and he had to ask this question.

Because he was worried that the cipher code would be deciphered, Li Le had just ordered a replacement of the German "cipher" that was claimed to never be deciphered, but it did not perform any encryption function at all.

He ordered that more secure passwords be re-established and the password rules in use changed.

Because many documents show that the German password has been deciphered by the United Kingdom at this time, which has led to very serious consequences.

During these 20 days, the German intelligence department was not idle either. They were ordered to change the password, causing the communication throughout Germany to be in chaos for a short time.

After all, changing the password is not a small project. After getting used to it, many telegrams have translation errors, and they have to waste time to correct and confirm.

At Li Le's insistence, the German three armies and the intelligence services all changed their ciphers, which caused trouble for the British side who had deciphered the German cipher.

The Germans seem to know that their code has been broken, and they are very determined to change the code without leaving any useful information.

The British got only some information about the German-Italy energy pact, and more information was covered up.

For this matter, the British executives further confirmed their judgment that there were spies inside. They believed that the Germans changed their passwords too coincidentally and too timely. Obviously, they had obtained relevant intelligence information.

The sinking of the Resolve was a suspicion, then the German change of the code was a confirmation. The British felt that there must be such a spy inside himself, and the information he knew was top secret!

Putting aside the matter of the British looking for their own internal spies, let's talk about what happened after Li Le heard that the oil field was found.

His first reaction was whether it was because of the wrong translation of the telegram, because he had heard many times in the past few days about the wrong encryption of the telegram.

"No! My head of state, the news comes from North Africa~www.readwn.com~ uses the latest cipher code, and the content is very clear." The officer replied excitedly.

Li Le finally felt relieved after hearing the other party's confirmation of the news. He put on a smile on his face, and then ordered: "The perpetual motion plan has begun! Go!"

Then our Führer turned around and walked towards Imperial Marshal Goering and Field Marshal Brauchitch.

"It seems that I promised Marshal Brauchitch's tanks that the delivery speed will be tripled immediately." Li Le happily showed off to Brauchitch.

"This is good news, my Führer." Brauchitch was obviously taken aback when he heard Li Le say this.

Then he realized that the recent rumors about the Libyan oilfields that have been spreading wildly among the German high-level officials may have something to do with it.

After Goering heard what Li Le said, the expression on his face became richer. He really had a 1% stake in the oil field.

Any good news will make him crazy - millions or even tens of millions of income, and it is the income of drought and flood, and no one can keep calm.

"The perpetual motion plan has been approved for implementation by me, do you two have any opinions?" Li Le asked his own question casually.

Brauchitch nodded. Of course he had no objection. The gasoline for the army's thousands of tanks, as well as the equipment funds for thousands of tanks, were all included in this plan.

As an army general, it is necessary for him to ensure the success of this plan, because it involves a series of favorable follow-up developments.

On the other hand, Goering was even more attentive, using the state apparatus to seek his own interests, which was the thing he was most skilled at and the most concerned about.

Those who stop me die! This may be the true portrayal of his heart now.
