Chapter 287: Imperial Star

Three identical four-engine passenger planes arrived at a military airport in the suburbs of Paris, France, escorted by 24 fighter jets.

This airport had long been under strict guard by the Royal Guards. Seeing the three passenger planes slowly landing on the runway one after another, the soldiers standing around the airport straightened their chests with serious expressions, trying to look majestic and majestic. However, the fanaticism that could not be concealed from their slightly trembling bodies and eyes had exposed their excitement.

The three passenger planes landed on the runway one after another. The propeller of the plane had not stopped turning yet, and the gangway car that had been waiting on the side had already approached and connected the gangway on its back to the door of the plane.

When the door of the plane was opened, two sturdy guards walked out of the plane first, and scanned the area with lightning eyes. After confirming that there was no threat, they gestured to the cabin and walked down the gangway.

The two men walked steadily and powerfully, and each held a black suitcase tightly in their right hand.

In the video materials of later generations, it is not difficult to see that some of the bodyguards beside the dignitaries of various countries always carry black briefcases when they travel, which looks particularly mysterious.

There are many different opinions about what the black briefcase in the bodyguard's hand is. Some say it is a weapon, some say it is a bulletproof shield, which can be opened by shaking in a critical situation, and it is very large. Some people also say that the briefcase does not contain weapons, but first aid kits.

The most mysterious statement is the "nuclear button briefcase".

According to the public information of the United States in later generations, it was originally proposed by the 34th US President Eisenhower when he was in office. Later, after experiencing the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy was very worried that the US military might use nuclear weapons to attack the Soviet Union without his approval. Therefore, Kennedy ordered the design of a nuclear button briefcase system that can ensure an absolute level of safety to ensure that only he has the power to issue an order to use nuclear weapons.

However, you can imagine what would happen if the war really breaks out suddenly, and the president and his launch box are raided and destroyed by the enemy's "decapitation operation"?

Or what if the president is suddenly held hostage and forced to issue an order to launch a nuclear egg?

Or what if the president is found to have committed great corruption and corruption, and is unwilling to be impeached, and wants to take all mankind as a burial?

In general, we can infer that the setting of "only the president can issue an order to launch nuclear weapons through the launch box" of this "nuclear button briefcase" is impossible, and it must go through other review and approval procedures before the nuclear egg can be truly launched. This overly mythical "nuclear button briefcase" is more of a symbol, a powerful deterrent, and its presence or absence does not affect the launch of nuclear weapons o (╯□╰) o.

Of course, even if Yannick wants to show off, no one will be afraid of an ordinary-looking black briefcase.

So one of the briefcases in the hands of the two guards is a "briefcase gun", which can effectively suppress firepower at close range.

And the other person holds a folded bulletproof shield. When attacked, just press the unlock button and shake it open to become a bulletproof shield, which can protect one or two people. Of course, it can only protect against small and medium caliber bullets.

Behind them is Yannick in a black windbreaker.

Although Yannick doesn't like such a strict and cumbersome protection procedure, he can only endure it for his own life.

Because he led Germany to launch this war, no matter how absurd and righteous the reasons for the war are, war is war, and there is no justice at all.

This war has caused many people to lose their country, their families, and their wives and children. And some people's hatred will of course be focused on him. Reinhard has uncovered several assassination plots in recent years.

"Hi! Hohenzollern!"

Standing next to the gangway and raising their right hands to greet him are Guderian and Rommel, two hot figures in the imperial military.

Yannick looked down at the two men. Guderian, who was not good-looking to begin with, looked even more "frustrated" standing next to Rommel, while Rommel looked even more handsome against Guderian's background.

Fortunately, this is not an era where people look at appearance.

Yannick walked down the gangway, walked in front of them, and signaled them to put their hands down after the ceremony. "The military uniform fits you very well." The two wore the lieutenant general uniforms that had just been tailored for them, and both wore the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. "If you change to a marshal's uniform, you will look even more handsome."

Even a fool knew what Yannick meant by this, and the two raised their right hands again with excitement. "Swear allegiance to His Highness! Allegiance to the Empire!"

Yannick nodded slightly, signaled them to put their hands down, and continued. "Whether it's loyalty or winning a battle, a person must have many qualities to accomplish something, but all of these must rely on a prerequisite - a healthy body. I heard that sometimes you don't sleep well for several days. This is a bad habit. The road ahead is still long, and I don't want anyone to fall behind halfway."

Especially this "Rommel is not there", he was not in the command center at every critical moment. This was the case in the Battle of Tunisia, El Alamein, and Normandy.

Some people also said that the German army at that time was powerless to turn the tide, and Marshal Rommel could not be blamed. But Yannick didn't think so. At least in El Alamein, when Rommel rushed back from Germany, the German retreat was much better organized.

Montgomery originally took advantage of Rommel's absence to launch a full-scale counterattack, dealt a heavy blow to the enemy in person, and planned to drive the Germans out within 7 days; two days later, Rommel rushed back to the battlefield and organized forces to actively respond. After some fighting between the two sides, Montgomery did not achieve the results he expected. Ten thousand people were injured and killed in five days, and the German army still stood firmly on the defensive line. But Rommel lost patience with the poor logistics and ordered the troops to retreat.

The initial period when the enemy launched an attack was the most critical time. At this time, the chief officer was not in the headquarters and could not command effectively. Is there anything worse than this?

Because Yannick had arranged a private doctor for each senior officer a long time ago, and was also responsible for their diet and daily life. At this time, Rommel did not have the stomach disease that had been bothering him in the original time and space. But Yannick was not worried that this guy would leave the troops and run back to celebrate his wife's birthday one day. Every time he sent him a capable deputy, it was enough to stabilize the team when Rommel was away. I don’t know if I can win the battle, but at least I won’t be defeated.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely accompany you." Guderian replied with a smile.

"Your Highness, I will also accompany you." Rommel also replied.

At this time, the bulletproof car unloaded from the plane behind slowly drove to the side of the few people. "In this case, then accompany me to Paris."
