Chapter 747： Moral kidnapping

Parisi Hobert, born in 1885, is now in his fifties.

He graduated from the Royal Military Academy in 1904. During World War I, he participated in the war in India and France. After the war, he began to study tank warfare and became the leading pioneer in this field.

For example, the British 1st Tank Brigade was formed under his initiative and was the first in the world.

It can be said that even Guderian, who became famous because of the blitzkrieg and became the most famous father of the blitzkrieg in Germany, had to worship Hobert as his mentor.

Hobart personally created the three most elite armored divisions in British history: the 7th Division, the 11th Division and the 79th Division. In 1938, he went to Cairo to serve in the British Army in Egypt. A fighting force, the unit was officially renamed the British 7th Armored Division on February 26, 1940, which later became the famous "Desert Rat".

It can be said that if Montgomery did not have the foundation laid by Hobert, it would not necessarily have the success of later generations.

It is a pity that Hobart is an official but not a human being. More importantly, his change has caused intense conflicts with the high-level British conservatives.

You know, the British Army is traditional and conservative, how can they easily change? Hobart's thinking of using tanks as the main force is simply apostasy and should be tied to a pillar and burned to death.

Everyone condemned, and as a result, Hobert was retired.

Now, the German blitzkrieg has created successes one after another. Everyone was surprised and discovered that Hobert was correct. Therefore, no matter the old stubbornness, after Churchill became prime minister, he directly intervened and enlisted Hober. Specially enlisted in the army, and now, Hobart is forming the latest 11th Armored Division in the local area. At the same time, he is also a senior officer beside Churchill.

Of course, Hobert also has another identity, the oldest major general on the European battlefield.

Hobart has a heavy burden. He wants to form troops, train troops, and develop and produce tanks. His importance is gradually manifested.

But now, Hobert's reminder made Churchill very upset.

War has nothing to do with civilians. This argument is extremely wrong. The enemy has invaded his hometown. Can he still work and work with peace of mind as if nothing happened?

Churchill sneered at the current situation on the French mainland. Where did the arrogance of the Gauls go? They should keep organizing uprisings everywhere!

Take off the uniform is a civilian, put on the uniform, pick up a steel gun, that is a soldier!

"Hobert, you are wrong. You didn't see that the entire people of Exeter are fighting to defend the city." Churchill said: "We feel proud of having such people, as long as the people unite Activated, we will be able to win the final victory. We must promote the bravery of Exeter citizens across the country."

"No, that will cause the Germans to carry out a tragic massacre in Exeter!" Hobert said: "The Germans will not be willing to fight under the cover of citizens."

Now, the staff have hurriedly formulated a new combat plan. If they want to be in Exeter, they will block the German team, which is simply whimsical.

They imagined that the main battlefield for the real confrontation would probably be on the outskirts of London, with the help of the surrounding terrain for a battle.

They will send troops to Exeter, but what they send is nothing more than cannon fodder, only to delay the actions of the German team.

The Germans also know all this and they will speed up. If civilians are mixed up, the terrible result will be the German massacre of civilians!

This is the last thing everyone wants to see. The army protects civilians, but now, civilians have to pay for the protection of the army!

What you want is such a massacre! If the Germans really come like this all at once, the resistance in the UK will be even higher, and the support from the US will be easier. Look at how cruel the Germans are, even the civilians must be defeated. The regime, protect freedom and democracy!

Churchill thought in his heart, in his mouth, he was still firm: "If the Germans really dare to do that, they are challenging the bottom line of human civilization!"

At this time, it is best to tie up with morality. Through moral kidnapping, let the American people see that the Germans are such a frenzy. If they rule Europe, it will be a disaster for the entire mankind!

Hobert wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Churchill had driven him out: "Hobert, now, what you need most is to organize our armored division to conduct defensive operations outside London."

The sorrow of the layman leading the insider. Although Churchill has reactivated Hobert, he still uses the tank unit as a defensive forceThe tank unit should be offensive!

The Germans are advancing towards London, setting up ambushes on the way that the Germans must pass, and teaching the Germans severely. This is what they should do.

So now, Hobart has nothing to say. After all, he has no bottom. His tank still cannot gain an advantage in performance. In this case, it is really impossible to say whether he will win a field battle with the Germans. !

Although the Germans have landed in Britain, Churchill still will not give up fighting. He believes that Britain still has the ability to resist!

Exeter is an example. This towering city, this city in battle, is inspiring the British people.

At the same time, the news of Exeter's defeat also passed back to the SS headquarters. When Guderian received the news of the defeat of the First Division, he immediately frowned.

Every soldier of the empire is the most precious treasure. At the same time, the lives of the soldiers of the Waffen-SS are even more precious. They must not be consumed in a British city for no reason!

"Order immediately, the troops of the First Division, temporarily withdraw from Exeter." Guderian gave the order.

His order was delivered at the right time. In the city, the soldiers of the First Division were constantly caught in the trap of the British, but they did not make a large-scale counterattack because they were afraid of accidentally injuring civilians.

If you continue to fight, the German team will suffer more casualties!

Delaying time is obviously detrimental to the German team, but now, Guderian has not ventured forward. In the military, Germany still has the advantage. As long as Plymouth Port is still in hand, they can continue to transport troops up.

What is needed now is the attitude of Berlin. Now Guderian is not only a military strategist, but also knows a lot of political troubles. 108
