This was the German field marshal in the later period. During World War II, he served as the chief of staff of the German Army Group A, the commander of the No.11 Army Group, and the commander of the "South" Army Group.

  Manstein is proficient in strategy and tactics, smart, responsive, and has superhuman military imagination. He is recognized as the most capable commander in the German Army, and some people rated him as the most outstanding general in World War II. The notorious Nazi identity can not conceal his military talent.The reason why he stands out among many German army generals and even the entire World War II generals is that he is not only a military genius, but also a military all-rounder.

  After the outbreak of World War II, he assisted Marshal Rundstedt in commanding the German army to quickly sweep across Poland and capture Warsaw, fully displaying the role of chief of staff.

  What really made him famous was his combat plan for invading France, the famous "Manstein Plan". According to this bold plan, the German army used tank troops to cross the Ardennes to quickly attack northern France and "blitzkrieg". "The power of "was exerted to the extreme - the German army defeated the British and French allied forces within six weeks, invaded and occupied the Netherlands and Belgium, and conquered 160% of France, known as the "No. [-] military power in Europe".Since then, Manstein has become one of the best strategists in the history of European warfare, even though he served for the war of aggression.

  Many strategists are only suitable for strategizing, but Manstein's ability to lead the army in battle is no worse than his ability to formulate battle plans.

  As a front-line commander, he succeeded in the wars of aggression against the Soviet Union and repeatedly defeated the Soviet army, especially the Crimean War, which caused the Soviet army to suffer heavy losses.Even when the German army suffered consecutive defeats on the Soviet-German battlefield, his troops could still withstand the Soviet attack and counterattack to win, which is rare in military history.

  It is very appropriate to compare Manstein to a sharp sword in the German Blitz.

  It turned out that Manstein looked like this.

  "Haha, it turns out that you are General Manstein. I have heard that you beat Poland hard enough. I admire you." Tang Qingyu still admires this Manstein. This guy is the originator of blitzkrieg.

  Especially the precursor battles of World War II, which were fought beautifully and made a good start for Hitler (bdeb).

  In the early morning of September 1939.9.1, [-], the German army launched a surprise attack and dispatched the air force to destroy major airports, communication and transportation hubs in Poland.

  Ground troops quickly broke through the Polish defenses.

  On the 3rd, Britain and France declared war on Germany, but the French army only launched a symbolic attack on Saarbrücken.

  On the 5th, the main force of the German Northern Army Group encircled the Polish Army Pomeranian Army in the Danzig Corridor, and one part advanced from East Prussia to Warsaw.

  Army Group South broke through the Polish defenses in the Częstochowa area and advanced towards Warsaw.

  That night, the Polish High Command ordered a retreat east of the Vistula River.

  The next day, the Polish government moved to Lublin.

  On the 14th, the German army completed the siege of Warsaw.

  On the 16th, the northern and southern German armies joined forces in the Włodawa area southeast of Warsaw, encircling the main force of the Polish army in the area west of the Bug River.

  On the 17th, Soviet troops occupied eastern Poland; the Polish government withdrew to Romania.

  On the 19th, 19 Polish troops surrendered to the Soviets.

  On the 28th, Warsaw fell.

  On October 10, the Polish army surrendered.

  In this battle, more than 6.6 Polish troops were killed, 13.3 were injured, 69.4 were captured by the Germans, 21.7 were captured by the Soviets, and 10 fled to neighboring countries.

  The German army killed more than 1 people, injured more than 3 people, and missing more than 3400 people.During the war, the German army successfully carried out a blitzkrieg for the first time, demonstrating the power of the tank corps to carry out a deep and rapid assault with the cooperation of aviation.

  This incident can be said to have caused a sensation all over the world.Tang Qingyu, who was very concerned about Germany, naturally had very detailed data, which was passed by his number one spy, Hitler's confidant.

  "Don't dare, I'm just an ordinary general. How can I compare with Mr. Tang Qingyu? Mr. Tang Qingyu is young and promising. He defeated the Soviet Union's Far East Military Region steadily, and even pushed it to Kyrgyzstan." Regarding Tang Qingyu's compliment, Man Stein is still a little proud, but he still has to be humble out of politeness.

  Tang Qingyu smiled, and said meaningfully: "I will not be polite to the polar bear in the Soviet Union. Besides, he has occupied so much of our land, so it is time to get it back."

  "Hahaha, okay, okay, you two don't need to brag, let's go to the hotel."

  Seeing the two bragging, Fern Jennings stepped forward and said with a smile.

  "Okay, I'm very happy to see Mr. Tang Qingyu today, I need a few words." Manstein said apologetically with a slight bow.

  Berlin, the capital of Germany, is an ancient and beautiful city.As early as the 13th century, it had become a trading town, and in the 17th century it developed into a local political, economic and cultural center.

  Looking at the scenery outside the car that is different from China, it has a special flavor.

  Xuan Yuling remained reserved along the way and didn't say too much, while Tang Qingyu squinted his eyes slightly, leaned back on the seat, closed his eyes and rested, thinking about what to do when he saw Hitler.

  After all, he was just a dick in his previous life. Even though he came to this world and worked hard, he became the head of a party and controlled seven to eight million troops. But when he really faced Hitler, he still had to think about how to deal with it.

  The Potsdamer Hof Hotel in Berlin is the most famous hotel in Germany. Of course, since World War I, Germany seems to have only received very few leaders from other countries, and Tang Qingyu is one of the few.

  Naturally, I want to live in the presidential guest room.

  In the restaurant, Fern Jennings, Manstein, Blomberg, and Brauchitsch, each with their families, gathered together with Tang Qingyu and his wife. In order to welcome Tang Qingyu, they specially recruited Huaxia's cook, Cook Chinese dishes.

  Tang Qingyu talked and laughed like the wind, picked up the red wine and tasted it slightly, it was sweet and sour, and it was not bad.

  However, when he was eating, he frowned.

  Is this really West Lake sweet and sour carp?

  Your sister, why is it so unpalatable.

  Seeing Tang Qingyu frowning, German Marshal Blomberg couldn't help asking: "Mr. Tang, what are you...".

Chapter 575 A Famous Chef from China

  There is ancient Chinese music playing in the hotel, which is extremely beautiful.

  It's still the song "Farewell Poem" by Hu Yanbin plagiarized/stolen from memory

  Unsheathed the sword, murderous, the wind blows the battlefield without the moon

  Thousands of troops rush alone, full of courage, good boy

  Children's love, past life account, how can you forget your smile alive

  Tears of a beauty break a heart, this can kill a person, the rouge is hot

  A farewell poem, two or three lines, written on the road in the spring rain in March

  If I can still walk beside you with an umbrella

  Farewell poem, two or three lines, who will sing for me on Huangquan Road

  If I could die by your side, it would not be in vain to come to this world

  Unsheathed the sword, murderous, the wind blows the battlefield without the moon

  …………

  The background is beautiful, but the atmosphere is a bit eerie.

  Because Tang Qingyu's expression became a little unhappy.

  Blomberg looked at the second person in power in China with some doubts: "Is it because the food is not to your taste?" He didn't show dissatisfaction from talking and laughing, and he didn't show dissatisfaction when drinking red wine. I frowned while cooking, is there something wrong with the dishes?

  In fact, to him, Chinese food is all the same, and he himself doesn't like to eat Chinese food. He can't tell whether it is delicious or not.

  Although Blomberg is not yet a marshal, he is already a candidate for the marshal. He was an artillery captain during the First World War and was transferred to the General Staff in 1912 as a staff officer. From 1933 to 1937, he successively served as the commander of the First Division, the commander of the Prussian Military Region, the commander of the First Army, and the commander of the Fourth Army.

  He was promoted to general in 1938 and served as commander-in-chief of the army, commanding the German troops to occupy the Sudeten area of ​​Austria and Czechoslovakia. In 1939, he directed the offensives against Poland, Holland, Belgium and France, and he was considered a talented person.

  "I don't know where you found the Huaxia chef. This West Lake sweet and sour carp is really unpalatable. But fortunately, I brought a top chef from Huaxia myself, and he will show you his cooking skills on the spot .”

  Tang Qingyu said lightly, saying that this chef is the No. 1 chef in Beijing. He used to be the head of the imperial dining room, and he is known as the No. 1 knife in the world.This time, I brought him specially for the trip to Germany, originally because he doesn't eat much Western food, and he hates half-rare steaks and greasy cheese.

  "This……"

  Not only Blomberg was dumbfounded, but everyone else was also dumbfounded. Are you still playing like this?

  It's the first time I've seen such a strange thing. The leaders of other countries don't show it even if they think the food is not good. This one is good. Not only did he show it, but he also asked people to perform cooking on the spot?

  However, a VIP is always a VIP, and when he comes, he must be satisfied.

  So with an order, all kinds of kitchen utensils in the hotel were brought up.

  Although there are only about [-] people present here, they are all German nobles with unusual identities.

  Seeing that Tang Qingyu asked Huaxia's chefs to perform live, they all came together. Of course, they can't be like the people in the market, they are still more reserved.

  Not long after, an elderly man in his sixties appeared, with a slender figure, but a handsome appearance. He was wearing a white chef's uniform, and his breath was calm.

  "My humble servant, Meng Wenchang, is just an ordinary cook in Beijing. Today, I will cook the first dish for everyone, stir-fried shredded potatoes." Meng Wenchang said lightly, cupping his fists at the room full of foreign devils, showing no signs of stage fright.

  Back then in the palace, they were all princes and ministers, so foreign devils naturally wouldn't be afraid.

  Stir-fried potato shreds is a very common dish, but Tang Qingyu likes to eat it. Almost every meal has a stir-fried potato shreds.So what Meng Wenchang showed today is a few dishes that Tang Qingyu usually likes to eat.

  "Everyone feel free to watch, my royal chef, Master Meng, is very skilled in knives." Tang Qingyu smiled slightly.

  Huaxia's first knife is not in vain.

  "Okay, then I'll show shredded potatoes and shredded lean pork." Meng Wenchang rolled up his sleeves and walked to the chopping board.

  The German nobles around looked over curiously. They were attracted by the calmness of this old gentleman. Since they thought the previous dishes were not tasty, what kind of food could this old gentleman cook?

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·??????

  But they were not dissatisfied, because the old gentleman showed a kind of calmness in his demeanor, and this kind of calmness can only be possessed by a master.

  For example, their German masters of western food also have such tolerance.

  Holding the knife, Meng Wenchang had the feeling of cooking for the Empress Dowager Cixi again. It has been many years, and it has been a long time.

  But Meng Wenchang was in a daze here, which made several people start to look a little weird.

  "Why is he stunned?"

  "Is it stage fright?"

  "I don't know. Didn't you say that the sword technique is superb? Why don't you make a move?"

  These three are noble ladies, whispering.

  "In my opinion, this group of Huaxia people is here to shame people."

  "It's not good at the critical moment. I was still mocking that it was not delicious just now, and I don't know if the old man will make it even worse later."

  At this time, Blomberg looked at Meng Wenchang who was in a daze, with a contemptuous smile on his mouth. If he was really a master, why would he be in a daze looking at a knife.At this moment, even he was a little contemptuous of Tang Qingyu. Perhaps the Iron Blood Army under this man's command defeated the Soviet Far East region steadily. Could it be some artistic elements of the media?

  Unknowingly, everyone quietly set their eyes on Meng Wenchang.

  Tang Qingyu looked indifferent, he knew that this old gentleman's culinary skills were definitely a Chinese master.

  "Despise me, and also despise our Huaxia?"

  Although the voices of those little women were very low, Meng Wenchang was not deaf, so he could hear clearly.

  He snorted coldly in his heart, held the knife in one hand, and pressed a potato with the other. The sound of the knife rang out, extremely fast, and the dense pattering sound like raindrops continued, causing an afterimage.

  "Stir-fried potato shreds is a home-cooked dish in China. Every household knows this dish. However, it is very difficult to make it delicious. In our Chinese medicine practice, potatoes are helpful in the treatment of indigestion, habitual constipation, neurosis It has a good effect on fatigue, chronic stomach pain, joint pain, skin rash and other diseases, and has an anti-aging effect.”.
