Chapter 80 Manstein
PS: The full class and there is no manuscript saved, so I'm sorry, brothers, thank you for the reward from the robot Tianyu.
For example, as imagined, Fritz Erich von Manstein's military teacher as the Nord royal family did cause more controversy than that, especially some people who were persecuted by war in Britain and France, who even marched in their respective countries to protest the actions of the royal family of the Nord Principality.
Nord was better than that. After all, even during World War II, they did not have much persecution. Even a group of German soldiers stationed in the Principal of Nord were very friendly. In fact, this is because the Principal of Nord was small in territory, and those stationed in the Principal of Nord were all recruits and reserves. Goodness was still in their hearts, and they could not do excessive things.
The other teachers were standing alone in front of the Nord Palace before Fritz Erich von Manstein. The old soldier, who was over 80 years old, was still as energetic as he was, and his prison career did not leave any shadows in the old man's heart. (The conditions require that, change the date of birth of Fritz Erich von Manstein.)
"Hello, Mr. Manstein, I'm Joseph."
After all, he was a teacher. Joseph had no reason to wait for others to come in. The Nazis had a bad reputation, but their merits were worthy of recognition. No matter what they had done before, it was the responsibility of being a general of a country. This had nothing to do with their morality, character, and personality.
Fritz Erich von Manstein looked kind and it was hard to imagine that he had saved hundreds of thousands of lives during World War II. It was hard to imagine that he was an executioner. Fritz Erich von Manstein was called the Earl of Lightning, the Blitz Sword, and the Eagle of the Empire.
"I am just a sinner, and your Highness does not need to be so polite."
His words were very gentle, and his sharp eyes were much more dull. Joseph looked at him and felt a throbbing in his heart. Maybe his guess was wrong. His prison career did not give him any shadow, but the failure of the war really hit this tactical master, a famous German general!
"Sinner..., Mr. Manstein, I have only heard one sentence. History is only written for the winner. Germany's defeat is inevitable. But you are not a sinner, because you are a soldier, a general of Germany!"
Joseph did not simply excuse Stein, but this sentence was his true heart. Joseph's feelings for Germany were very complicated. First of all, he admired Germany, admired the famous German generals and bravery. Even though he committed many sins in Europe, wars have always been like this, right?
On the other hand, as the grand duke of the Duchy of Nord and the passive side of the war, he was a little hostile to Germany. Of course, this was just a physical reaction. After all, Ragner I and II suffered hardships in World War II.
"I am honored to be able to give you Joseph you as a teacher."
"It should be my honor, General Manstein."
General... What a long time ago, I haven't heard these two words and his name side by side in several years. In a trance, his eyes at Joseph were much more friendly.
With Abner's support, Manstein came to the Nord Palace and could see that Manstein was very thin, which was normal. After all, although he was a military adviser to the German Ministry of Defense before he arrived, his defense was difficult for the veteran general to be sad. When the treatment was not very good, his health would naturally be worse than that.
In fact, Germany still valued Manstein very much. Although it only used the military knowledge and ability in Manstein's mind. Germany was in the honeymoon period with the Principal of Nord at this time, so the invitation from the Nord royal family made the German government unable to refuse. Manstein was not very willing to leave Germany, but his family members were highly concerned. For his family, he could only stay away from his hometown to Nord, but he was 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 the confidence in the past. Joseph was his closed disciple. In addition, under such circumstances, he naturally wanted to impart all his knowledge to Joseph.
only……
"Teacher Manstein, I agree with your ability, but now it is not the Second World War. The nuclear era has arrived, and those ancient tactics have no effect."
There was nothing wrong with talking, Joseph and Manstein were a little unfriendly because of the differences. Of course, Manstein would not leave angrily because of this. Not only would he not do this, he was more interested in refuting Joseph. In his eyes, Joseph, who had such an opinion at this age, was undoubtedly a material that could be made.
Yes, it is just a material that can be made. Although even some military geniuses do not have such an opinion at this age, he is only mature and does not show unique talents in this regard. It is surprising that it is just because of his age. Any other adult can say such words.
"What is the fundamental purpose of the war? It is victory! Joseph, don't forget that before I came to the Principal of Nord, I was a military adviser to the German Ministry of Defense, and I know the current situation very well."
Joseph chuckled and said something Joseph gritted his teeth but could not argue. No one expected that Manstein would not fundamentally solve the problem but began to rely on his seniority.
OK! Anyway, Joseph is not prepared to become a general. Having the identity of a Manstein disciple is enough to understand the military, and the rest is as easy as possible!
With this idea, Joseph seriously talked with Manstein. Although it was not a formal class, Joseph liked how to learn knowledge through such conversations.
The most powerful thing in Germany is the blitzkrieg, and Manstein is undoubtedly one of the founders. Similar classic cases and military theories are inevitable in the discussion. Joseph nodded from time to time to say that he agrees with Manstein's words.
Time passed without realizing it. At noon, Abna brought a plate of pastries from China. This was made by the chef from Xinhua News Agency. It was a small respect for the famous general Manstein.
"Plum Blossom Cake?"
Manstein had obviously seen such food. Not only did he speak it but he used Chinese, but he was obviously not very clear, and his words were clearly foreign style. Well... Joseph would be a foreigner if he went to China.
"Menstein has eaten it? I have a chef from China here. If the teacher likes it..."
"I like it, I like it very much. When I was young, my father was an official from Qingdao. Every time I go back to Prussia, I will bring me a plate of plum blossom cake."
Manstein was born into a Prussian nobleman and served as a German officer in Qingdao during World War I. Therefore, he ate similar food, which made Manstein a few years old at that time! Does he still remember it very clearly now? Joseph thought strangely.
"Joseph, it has given me a deep memory, really deep!"
Before he knew it, Joseph remembered himself in his previous life, the old locust tree not far from the door, the bustling village when he was a child... For a moment, he was actually addicted to it.
“Huaxia is a magical place with lots of delicious food and delicious!”
