Chapter 968 Entering the Rhineland
The person in charge of commanding the 1st Fortress was Bazer von Rudendolph, the youngest general in the Frank Empire.
General Bazel von Rudendolf - 46 years old, was promoted to the empire's general four years ago.
As the youngest general of the empire, he took on such a arduous task just a few years after taking office, which made Bazer, who had been through many battles, feel nervous.
The 100,000 army of the first formation was deployed somewhere on the western defense line of the Frank Empire.
By 0:00 on March 29, Bazer will lead the 100,000 army of the 1st formation to kick off the Nibelungen plan.
At this time, Bazer was staying in the camp of the first formation with the generals of the formation, quietly waiting for the passage of time, and anxiously waiting for the arrival of 0:00 on March 29.
Sitting on the small stool, Bazer looked at the oil lamp swaying in front of him, and his thoughts suddenly returned to 4 years ago.
Four years ago, the 309th year of the Imperial Calendar was the year when Bazer advanced to general, and it was also the year when Bazer first learned about the Nibelungen plan.
Just over a month after he was promoted to general, Erwin, the current prime minister of the empire, mysteriously came to him.
Suddenly, Elvin came to him and led him into a huge cabin.
Looking at the huge ships in the cabin, which were no different from the hills, Bazer's mouth was opened in shock at that time, and his chin seemed to fall to the ground.
After taking Bazer to see these big ships, Erwin told him the specific content of the Nibelungen plan.
After listening to Elvin's explanation, Bazer was shocked and could not speak for a long time.
This cannot be blamed for Bazer's lack of concentration.
No matter who tells the details of the Nibelungan plan, that person will be shocked by the content of the plan for a long time.
Because the scale of the Nibelungen project is too large.
The method of breaking through the Rhine Front and the method of annihilation of the Knights of the Britannian Empire is really too bold.
After coming back to his senses, the first question Bazer asked Elvin was - who was the planner of the Nibelungen Project?
Bazer really wanted to know who the person was, and who could come up with careful and bold battles.
After hearing this question from Bazer, Erwin smiled slightly.
"It was not someone who made this plan. The Nibelungan plan was planned together by many people with great effort. It was a plan that condensed the wisdom of everyone."
In a blink of an eye, 4 years have passed.
The Nibelungen Project has finally completed all preparations.
Bazer was also very honored to shoulder an important task in this Nibelungen plan - leading the 1st formation to break through the Rhine Front first.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang in Bazer's ears:
"General Ludendorf!"
The shout shifted Bazer's attention from his memories.
Bazel slowly moved his eyes to the shouting master.
"What's the matter?" Bazel asked softly.
"It's already...it's been...it's exactly 0 o'clock!"
The master of this shouting was a famous general in the first formation. He said this with all his strength.
After his voice fell, the expressions of the other generals in the military camp became even more serious.
But not everyone's faces became solemn.
Some of the younger generals, after learning that it was already 0 o'clock, had a strong look of tension and fear on their faces.
Very few people even fight their teeth because of tension and fear.
"Is that true..." Bazel murmured softly.
Then, Bazer slowly stood up.
"Everyone." Bazel said, slid his eyes from the faces of the generals in front of him one by one. "It is now 0 o'clock on March 29, 313, the Imperial Calendar."
"It's finally here, the launch time of the Nibelungan plan."
Bazer's tone gradually became higher.
"Everyone here should know what the Nibelungen plan is."
"We have bet on this plan for our country's destiny!"
"The victory or defeat of the Nibelungen plan is directly related to the final victory or defeat of this hundred-year war between us and the Britannian Empire."
"Everyone, you should all know the 'Shame of 203', right? You should all know this national humiliation that makes people cry just by thinking back."
After hearing the word "Shame of 203", most of the people present either frowned, looked dim, or gritted their teeth, and their eyes were full of indignation.
It can be seen how much the generals and officials here hate this national humiliation.
"I will never forget the shame that the Britannians brought to us the Frank Empire."
Bazel continued.
"I dreamed of washing away the humiliation of the 'Shame of 203'."
"And now—the opportunity to wash away this humiliation has appeared before our generation."
Bazel is good at encouraging the morale of the soldiers through language.
At this moment, the generals with nervous expressions all looked at Bazel with serious expressions and listened to Bazel's every word.
The nervous look on his face disappeared without knowing it.
Instead, there are excitement and indignation.
I felt hot in my chest, and there was a constant stream of power coming out of my body.
"If the Nibelungen plan is successful, we will be able to break through the Rhine front of the Britannia Empire! Annihilate the four major knights of the Britannia Empire! Crack Pandragon, the capital of the Britannia Empire!"
"At that time, we will be able to let the Britannians feel the pain of the destruction and ravage of the imperial capital!"
"At that time, the 'Shame of 203' will be washed away!"
"At that time, we will win the final victory of this Hundred Years War that has lasted more than a hundred years!"
"I want to win!"
"I want my motherland to win!"
Bazer's tone at this time was so high that it was almost roaring.
"If I want my country to win, then this Nibelungan plan must be successful!"
"Everyone, are you willing to fight side by side with me and win this decisive battle with the Britannian Empire?"
As soon as Bazer finished speaking, the generals in the camp stood up one after another:
"Of course I'm willing!"
"I do!"
"Fight to the death with the Britannians!"
"To win! Must win!"
...
At this time, no one had any nervousness or fear on his face.
The expressions that appeared on the generals' faces were only indignation or excitement.
Amid the shouts of the generals, Bazer reached his hand to the hilt of the sword on his left waist and slowly pulled out the long sword hanging on his left waist.
"If you want, then let's go."
After raising the sword in his hand over his head, Bazer waved the sword down heavily, pointing the tip of the sword straight to the west.
"Entering the Rhineland! The fate of our country and the Britannian Empire! The end of this Hundred Years' War is decided on the Rhineland Plain!"
...
At this time, it was March 29, the 313th year of the Frankish Empire.
It's exactly 0 a.m.
