Third Reich Episode 303
Immediately afterwards, Abraham revealed his true intentions: "Admiral Lefer, in fact, Deputy Prime Minister Rossi admires you very much. You also know that Deputy Minister Rossi facilitated this naval battle. He has always wanted to give a good reward to the hero of the war."
Rossi Deputy Prime Minister? !
When Leifer heard this, he suddenly seemed to understand something.
"You are the deputy prime minister of Rossi, he asked you to come?" Leifer questioned Abraham.
It's not because he hates Rossi, on the contrary, Lefer even has a great affection for Rossi who approved the Oran naval battle.In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was Rossi's order that made him win the battle of Lefer.
"Yes, I have been working for Deputy Prime Minister Rossi." Abraham also made no secrets and revealed his identity openly.
After all, Abraham could see all the process of Mussolini's humiliation of Lefer just now, and the anger that Lefer couldn't hide along the way after he came out.
At this time, it is the best time to win over Lefer!
"Deputy Prime Minister Rossi said that with Admiral Lefer's great achievements in the Battle of Oran, it is not uncommon to be promoted to admiral. As long as General Lefer is willing, the deputy prime minister will arrange for Admiral Lefer as soon as possible. A signal for promotion to Admiral of the Navy."
Leifer understood what Abraham meant.
It is impossible for the other party to ask himself if he would like to get the title of Marshal.After all, a fool is not willing to let his status go further.
Napoleon once said, "A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier."
Lefer, who has always regarded Napoleon as his idol, also agrees with this view.
The title of marshal is the greatest honor for a soldier, and it is a title that many people pursue all their lives. As long as you are a soldier, you will not be so stupid as to refuse the title of marshal that is within your reach.
What Abraham really asked if he was willing was actually whether he was willing to serve under Rossi's command.
"Let me think about it..." Although Lefer saw through everything, he couldn't make a decision for a while.
"General, there are not many chances." Abraham encouraged and fanned the flames from the side: "Once the leader recovers, he comes out of the hospital and takes over various affairs. At that time, even if Deputy Prime Minister Rossi wants to help you be promoted to marshal, If the prime minister blocks it, you probably won't be able to get promoted..."
Abraham's words can be said to have hit Leifer's weakness.
That's right, Mussolini has already been so disrespectful to himself today, if he puts his hot face on the leader's cold butt, and continues to work for Mussolini foolishly, it is probably in vain to show courteousness.
On the contrary, Deputy Prime Minister Rossi, although he has always been amiable on weekdays and does not care about major issues, but at critical moments, such as the Oran naval battle, he can mobilize the elite Italian navy to fight alone in a short period of time, and get various unanimous approval.
From this point of view alone, Deputy Prime Minister Rossi seems to be more capable than he appears on the surface.
Knowing this, Lefer quickly responded: "Tell Deputy Prime Minister Rossi for me. I will definitely visit him tomorrow and thank him for his kindness. If there is anything I need to do in the future, please let him take care of it." tell me."
Lefer has never been a timid person. Once a decision is made, he can immediately implement it without any reason.
Otherwise, he would not have given up the stable win situation in the Oran naval battle, refused to save the French navy, avoided joint operations, and chose the combat policy of defeating the British fleet alone.
Although Lefer was able to win that battle, it could not be separated from the support of the German submarine force.However, in that battle, Leifer did not show a cowardly character.
He was an ambitious man and always has been!

Text Chapter 471 Marshal Everywhere (seeking a monthly ticket)
Bolohich has always felt weird recently. As for why he feels this way, it probably has something to do with Reinhardt's promotion of three field marshals in one go.
Prior to this, Reinhardt respected Borasic as the only field marshal of the army, and used this as a step to give Borasic a compensation for letting go of the power of the commander-in-chief of the army.
At that time, there were only two serving marshals in Germany.One was Field Marshal Brahitch, and the other was Admiral Raeder.
The Marshal Brauchic was a psychological compensation given to him by Reinhardt, in order not to make Brauchic feel dissatisfied because he was downgraded to the chief of the army's general staff.
After all, in Germany, the glory of a field marshal is much more glorious than the position of commander-in-chief of the army.Prior to this, except for a few field marshals appointed by Kaiser Wilhelm II in peacetime, only German generals who had independently commanded a battle, won a battle, or occupied a large fortress could be awarded field marshals. rank.
Blauchic quickly accepted such a step.
As for Raeder's admiral, this is more or less inseparable from Reinhardt's background in the navy.
As the original "naval faction", if Reinhardt did not set up a marshal in the navy, it would seem a bit unreasonable.
As for the air force, both Catherine and Hu Ge have a high possibility of becoming marshals.
Historically, Catherine was directly promoted to field marshal by Hitler after the Battle of France.
As for Kesselring in this life, Reinhardt is still keeping the position of admiral according to the rules and continues to train.
On the Air Force side, there was no promotion to Field Marshal after the Battle of France.Catherine and Hu Ge, the two air force generals, have been hanging like this all the time, and they continued to compete for the position of marshal.
As for the army, at any rate, the German army defeated the French army, which was once the world's number one, and in this war, Germany broke through the Eben Emaar fortress group in Belgium, bypassed the world-famous Maginot line of defense, and defeated the French army in one go. The Allied Forces of Britain, France and Belgium.
With such a great achievement, it seems completely reasonable for Reinhardt to appoint three marshals.
Moreover, Reinhardt believes that he has restrained himself too much compared to Hitler's practice of appointing 12 marshals at a time in history.
In order to take care of the mood of the army, Reinhardt even considered the two air force generals to be excellent generals, but also because of Manstein's suggestion that "they have made contributions, but they are by no means comparable to the commander-in-chief of the army". The promotion of Marshal in the Air Force has been put on hold.
In the end, General Fedor von Bock, who commanded Army Group B, advanced to the Low Countries and attracted the main force of the coalition forces in the north into the encirclement, was promoted to field marshal according to his military exploits.
Gerd von Rundstedt, who commanded Army Group A, carried out decisive actions in the French campaign, cut off the defense line of the Allied Forces in the Ardennes, and decided the victory in one fell swoop, was also undisputedly promoted to Field Marshal.
The promotion of the No.3 Marshal is somewhat controversial. He led the C Army Group to continue to launch small-scale attacks on the Maginot Line and the Upper Rhine, and was responsible for feint attacks to attract the attention of the enemy. Wilhelm Ritter von Loeb Will.
The admiral's achievements are relatively not that dazzling, and it seems that anyone can accomplish his task, so compared to the promotion of the other two marshals, it is inevitable that some envious generals will occasionally discuss it.
But Eleb's promotion was ultimately impeccable due to his unique and lofty reputation in the German Army, especially in the artillery.
In this way, Bolohich, the only field marshal in the German army, met three other field marshals at the same level in an instant, and his unique brilliance was taken away.
The point is, Bolohich couldn't find anything to be picky about Reinhardt's promotion to marshal this time!
The three promoted marshals can be said to be the three oldest marshals in the army.Whether it was Rundsteder, Lebu, or Bok, they all had much higher qualifications than Bolohich.
Among other things, at least Borahiche, who is almost 59 years old this year, is actually the youngest among the four field marshals!
In fact, Reinhardt still wanted to give himself the title of Marshal of the Empire, and named himself an Iron Cross plus a Cross.After all, he also thought that he was the fastest promoted general in Germany, and he had made great achievements in battle.
However, in view of Paulus's suggestion, Reinhardt finally reminded him that doing so would belittle the gold content of the Marshal, and then gave up the title of Marshal of the Empire.
As for breaking the record of offensive speed in the history of war, it took less than 19 days to lead the 6th Armored Army to break through the Ardennes Mountains and drive straight into Lieutenant General Guderian who traversed France for more than 400 kilometers.
Blitzed Norway, led the 30th Infantry Division to annihilate the British and French Allied Forces in Norway, and then moved to Lieutenant General Hans in France.
