Chapter 968: Marching Into the Rhineland
The commander of the 1st formation is Bazel von Ludendorff, the youngest general of the Frankish Empire.
General Bazel von Ludendorff, 46 years old, was promoted to the general of the empire only four years ago.
As the youngest general of the empire, he has just taken on such a difficult task a few years after taking office, which makes the battle-hardened Bazel feel nervous.
The 100,000 troops of the 1st formation are deployed somewhere on the western defense line of the Frankish Empire.
At 0:00 on March 29, Bazel will lead the 100,000 troops of the 1st formation to kick off the Nibelungen Plan.
At this time, Bazel and the generals of the 1st formation are staying in the camp of the main formation, quietly waiting for the passage of time, anxiously waiting for the arrival of 0:00 on March 29.
Bazel, sitting on a small stool, looked at the flickering oil lamp in front of him, and his thoughts suddenly returned to four years ago.
Four years ago, in the year 309 of the imperial calendar, Bazel was promoted to general, and it was also the year when Bazel first learned about the Nibelungen Plan.
Just over a month after being promoted to general, the current chancellor of the empire, Erwin, came to him mysteriously.
Erwin, who suddenly came to him, led him to a huge cabin.
Looking at the huge ships in the cabin that were as big as mountains, Bazel's mouth was wide open in shock, and his chin seemed to fall to the ground.
After showing Bazel these ships, Erwin told him the details of the Nibelungen Plan.
After listening to Erwin's explanation, Bazel was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
This can't be blamed on Bazel's lack of concentration.
No matter who is told the details of the Nibelungen Plan, that person will be shocked by the content of the plan and can't recover for a long time.
Because the scale of the Nibelungen Plan is really too large.
The method of breaking through the Rhine Front and the method of annihilating the Knights of the Britannia Empire were too bold.
After coming to his senses, the first question Bazel asked Erwin was - who was the planner of the Nibelung Plan?
Bazel really wanted to know,
who was the person who could come up with a careful and bold operation.
After hearing Bazel's question, Erwin smiled slightly.
"It was not one person who drew up this plan. The Nibelung Plan was drawn up by many people with great effort. It is a plan that condenses the wisdom of everyone."
In a blink of an eye, 4 years have passed.
The Nibelung Plan has finally completed all preparations.
And Bazel was also very honored to shoulder an important task in this Nibelung Plan - leading the first line of soldiers to break through the Rhine Front.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang in Bazel's ears:
"General Ludendorff!"
This shout diverted Bazel's attention from his memories.
Bazel slowly moved his eyes to the owner of the loud shout.
"What's the matter?" Bazel asked softly.
"It's already... 0 o'clock!"
The owner of the loud shout was a general of the 1st formation, and he said this with all his strength.
After his voice fell, the expressions of the other generals in the barracks became more solemn.
However, not everyone's face became solemn.
Some slightly younger generals, after learning that it was already 0 o'clock, showed a strong sense of tension and fear on their faces.
Some people even chattered because of tension and fear.
"Really..." Bazel whispered softly.
Then, Bazel slowly stood up.
"Everyone." Bazel said, while sliding his eyes across the faces of the generals in front of him one by one, "It is now 0:00 on March 29, 313 of the Imperial Calendar."
"It's finally time to launch the Nibelungen Plan."
Bazel's tone gradually became higher.
"Everyone here should know what kind of plan the Nibelungen Plan is."
"We are betting our country's destiny on this plan!"
"The success or failure of the Nibelungen Plan is directly related to the final victory or failure of our Hundred Years War with the Britannia Empire."
"Everyone, you should all know the '203 Shame', right? This national shame that makes people cry just thinking about it, you should all know it very well."
After hearing the term "203 Shame", most of the people present either frowned, or looked gloomy, or gnashed their teeth, with indignation in their eyes.
It can be seen how much the generals present hated this national shame.
"I will never forget the humiliation that the Britannians brought to our Frankish Empire."
Basel continued.
"I dream of washing away the humiliation of the '203 Shame'."
"And now - the opportunity to wash away this humiliation has appeared in front of our generation."
Basel is very good at using words to boost the morale of the generals and soldiers.
At this time, those generals with nervous faces all looked at Basel seriously and listened to every word of Basel.
The nervousness on their faces also dissipated unconsciously.
Replaced by excitement and indignation.
I felt hot in my chest, and felt that a constant stream of power was coming out of my body.
"If the Nibelungen Plan succeeds, we will be able to break through the Rhine Front of the Britannian Empire! Annihilate the four major knightly orders of the Britannian Empire! Break through the capital of the Britannian Empire, Pendragon!"
"By then, we will be able to let the Britannians also feel the pain of the destruction and devastation of the imperial capital!"
"By then, the '203 Shame' will be washed away!"
"By then, we will win the final victory in this Hundred Years' War that has lasted for more than a hundred years!"
"I want to win!"
"I want my country to win!"
Bazel's tone at this time was so high that it was almost a roar.
"If I want my country to win, then this Nibelungen Plan must succeed!"
"Everyone, are you willing to fight side by side with me and win this decisive battle with the Britannia Empire?"
As soon as Bazel finished speaking, the generals in the camp stood up one after another:
"Of course I am willing!"
"I am willing!"
"Fight the Britannia people to the death!"
"We must win! We must win!"
...
At this time, no one's face showed tension or fear.
The expressions on the faces of the generals now were only indignation or excitement.
Amid the shouts of the generals, Bazel reached for the hilt on his left waist and slowly pulled out the long sword hanging on his left waist.
"Since you are willing, let's go."
After raising the long sword in his hand above his head, Bazel swung the long sword down heavily, with the tip of the sword pointing directly to the west.
"March into the Rhineland! The fate of our country and the Britannia Empire! The outcome of this Hundred Years' War will be decided on the Rhineland Plain!"
...
At this time, it was March 29, 313 of the Frankish Empire.
0:00 in the morning.
The Nibelungen Plan, which aims to destroy the Britannia Empire, has finally been fully launched!
