Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 29: Paris (1)
put down the silver table knife engraved with the delicate ivy pattern, and Xu Jun gracefully held up the wine glass in front of him.
The mouth of the gorgeous crystal cup is inlaid with pure gold lace, and the body of the cup is as pure as ice crystals. The clan emblem of the former owner is engraved on the body, showing off its extraordinary life experience.
The elegant and luxurious shape has made it a work of art, and the special value given to it by history makes people forget the meaning of its birth as a wine vessel.
If it falls into the hands of an antique collector, it must be carefully placed in a beautiful glass cabinet. Maybe there is a soft and expensive silk cushion under it. Its owner will definitely display it in the most The conspicuous place is for people to watch, and it will surely get the sincere admiration and admiration of countless people, and bring endless satisfaction and honor to its owner and countless jealous eyes.
However, it can no longer be used as a cup.
"You seem to be very interested in this set of tableware, my head of state."
Noting the drunken look of the young Führer Weiller put down the knife in his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him.
"Oh? What did you say?"
Xu Jun's gaze turned back from the wine glass, and he looked at his chief of staff blankly.
"Nothing, my head, I want to salute you for the victory we have now."
Weierle smiled and toasted Xu Jun.
"Oh, for our future victory, my chief of staff."
Xu Jun smiled slightly and raised his glass.
"For the future victory, my head of state."
Hearing Xu Jun’s speech, the subordinates present quickly put down their knife and fork and raised their wine glasses to greet Xu Jun.
Xu Jun took a shallow sip of the wine, feeling the special enjoyment brought by the aromatic and mellow liquor.
As the head of an empire, Xu Jun has the power to obtain all the enjoyment that leaders of his position can get. As a dictator, he even has something that other leaders in the world cannot have, absolute freedom.
sounds like a joke, but as the leader of a fascist country, the head of a country where freedom is the least free, Xu Jun has really obtained the most thorough and unscrupulous freedom. Of course, this is only limited to him. .
When Xu Jun and Feng. By the time Brositz and Yordel finished their talks, the sky had begun to darken, and then they realized that they had been talking for a whole afternoon.
After the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces and the Chief of Operations of the High Command once again pledged allegiance and support to their young heads of state, they spent most of their time discussing the details of how to deal with the internal officers and generals of the National Defense Forces.
In this matter, Xu Jun won Feng. The unreserved support of Blauhizi and Yödel meant that he had the support of most of the German high command and the German army, which made Xu Jun very pleased.
Although they had a little dispute over some details of handling later, it was quickly resolved with Weiller's mediation.
Xu Jun is very satisfied with the results of this meeting. Of course, Feng, Brauchic and Yödel also felt a lot of gains. They knew that they had gained Xu Jun’s absolute trust. In the future, there will be an immeasurable role in the work of their respective positions and personal future issues.
The two people have forgotten the reason why they came to meet with the Führer. Although the Führer did not explain to them about the assassination in the end, their minds are no longer there.
They have obtained more important information, and how to benefit from it is the most important issue they need to consider now.
As it was time for dinner, Xu Jun, feeling a little tired, decided to stay at this temporary site for one night, and continue the following activities the next day.
The generals and officials who participated in the welcome unexpectedly got a chance to dine and rest on the heads-of-state train.
Xu Jun’s heads-of-state train is a mix of Hitler’s Americana and Goring’s Asiana. This train has the powerful communication and command functions of the Americana and the extremely luxurious life of the Asian Facilities have become the most luxurious and comfortable mobile command center in Europe and even the world.
Xu Jun did not invite anyone to have dinner with him, although Weierle has repeatedly hinted that this is an opportunity to bring Xu Jun closer to the generals.
But Xu Jun only likes to dine with people familiar with him. He enjoys the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere of a family-like table. Although sometimes he has to attend large banquets, since he is on his own site, he I will not force myself for any reason.
Xu Jun doesn’t care about losing opportunities to buy people’s hearts. Besides, he doesn’t believe that having an awkward dinner can make the officials and generals loyal to himself.
A more effective way than this is, why bother with your own appetite.
Xu Jun has his own separate dining car, which is modified from the original private entertainment car of Goring.
said it was a modification. In fact, it just demolished the entertainment facilities. The interior decoration has not been modified at all, and the gorgeous style is still maintained.
The brown-black oak wall panels are polished and gleaming, surrounded by exquisite lacquered gold decorative patterns, and velvet cloth curtains of the same color as the walls hang on the windows.
The ground is covered with an inch-thick brown wool carpet. Stepping on it feels like stepping on the lush grass. It makes people have an urge to lie on it.
Leaning against the walls on either side are two rows of shiny leather sofas with purple silk cushions. An upright piano is placed in one corner of the carriage, and an antique wine cabinet full of patterns is placed in the other corner. On the top of the cabinet is a row of decorative silver plates.
In the middle of the carriage is a long dining table for twelve people, covered with snow-white embroidered tablecloths, Xu Jun’s main seat is placed with a Louis-style high-back chair, the entire dining car looks so People feel a kind of palace-like elegance and nobility.
The chef has delivered the main course. Today it is Hungarian beef with mashed potatoes, with a thick layer of mushroom sauce on it, which looks very appetizing.
Xu Jun feels good about German cuisine, of course, thanks to those skilled chefs.
Xu Jun's personal requirements for food are not high, especially when he is on the front line, sometimes a simple bowl of vegetable soup, two sausages and a piece of bread can kill a meal.
In fact, this is also a common habit in the German army, because no matter how senior an officer, even if he is a marshal, the food on the battlefield will not be much different from that of an ordinary soldier, at most it is a little more refined than soldiers.
However, Xu Jun will not be hypocritical enough to refuse food. If given the opportunity, he will be very happy to taste a sumptuous meal, especially new dishes that have not been tried.
Regarding European cuisine, Xu Jun has always maintained ample curiosity. Of course, it is the Chinese cuisine in his hometown that fascinates him the most. What is going on now.
Finally, European dishes are emerging in endlessly, and there is no tendency to bore him for the time being.
But the thought that the head of the Third Reich, your Excellency, would like to eat a plate of fried vegetables is not available, and Xu Jun couldn’t help but sigh.
swallowed the last piece of tender beef, Xu Jun picked up the wine glass again. Weierle was right, he was really interested in this set of tableware.
This set of tableware was seized from a French general when the Germans occupied Orleans. The guy was about to escape. Unfortunately, before he could run two miles away, he ran into a group of lost German tank. At that time, the tank company commander was holding a map and was worrying about the three-way intersection. Unexpectedly, a big fish that slipped through the net was sent to the door by himself. The overjoyed tank company commander personally found this set from the general’s luggage. tableware.
Although this company commander is not of a noble background, he is also a master of knowledge. He saw that this thing was too expensive, even though he liked it, he didn't dare to hide it casually. He simply turned in this set of things decisively, and by the way, he could get a good impression in front of his boss. So after turning in like this, after turning over a dozen times, this set of things was placed on Xu Jun's table.
As a backup historian, Xu Jun saw the origin of this set at a glance. The clan emblem on it clearly shows that this is a French royal court product, and it should be the personal utensil of the sun king Louis XIV. This really made Xu Jun, who loves antiques, a little bit put it down, and appointed him as his personal tableware on the spot.
Xu Jun’s logic is that since this kind of good thing is made for human use, why not use it, let alone use it not bad, but I heard that the orderly soldiers in the kitchen washing dishes have since left the root of neurosis.
cups are fine products, and the wine is no different. The real Bordeaux red wine, produced in 1867 by Château Lafite, is the best of the best.
Generally, the best storage period for Bordeaux red wine is 20 years, but occasionally some of the best products can be preserved for more than a hundred years without losing its taste, and this bottle of wine is obviously too.
Xu Jun didn't ask where he got these wines. Anyway, there are only five bottles, and there are no more. It feels really good to drink gold.
"Weirle, how about tomorrow's schedule? Do you have any suggestions?"
At the end of the dinner, the orderly took down the tableware, and Xu Junzhi proudly lit a cigar and smoked leisurely.
"This? Nothing has changed, my head of state. We went to the command in the morning and visited several nearby manors in the afternoon. The original plan was to enter Paris the next day after you arrived, but because of what happened today Things, the original plan has been disrupted, and the opinion of the high command is up to you to decide the specific time. Marshal von Brauchic has issued an order to let those troops continue to prepare. He seems to want to make a grand The perfect entrance ceremony."
"Really, I don't know what kind of scene it will be."
"It should be satisfactory to you, my head. After all, they have been prepared for almost a month. My head."
"That's true too, haha."
Xu Jun felt a little funny when he thought of this.
The German army has now occupied most of the French territory, and it continues to advance by leaps and bounds.
In fact, the German army surrounded Paris on the second day of the offensive.
What surprised all the Germans was that they thought they would encounter the strongest resistance here, just like 1914 and 1918, the two Germans were already close to this This city, due to various reasons, has to sigh, so occupying this city has become the wish of a large number of senior officers~IndoMTL.com~Lundstede and Bock’s army group from this time They prepared four elite German infantry divisions for this city. But when the two commanders of the army group rolled their sleeves and licked their lips, they were about to rush forward to show off their power. Declaring that he has become an undefended city, this is really beyond the expectations of the two commanders.
When this news was received, General Bock’s forward headquarters had already advanced to the outskirts of Paris, only 15 kilometers away.
Weiwei, who felt a little lost, immediately decided to lead his troops into Paris. This is the best opportunity to become famous. Although it may be criticized as stepping on shit, the title of Conqueror of Paris is enough Let his name go down in history.
But just when he was able to vaguely see the buildings on the outskirts of Paris, he received an urgent telegram from von Brauchitz.
After reading this telegram, Feng, Bock retracted to the starting point faster than when he came, and his troops stopped advancing, and all were stationed on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, Lundstede also brought his own headquarters to the outside of Paris. He and his troops also stopped advancing and stationed there.
From that day on, the twenty-three days of the siege of Paris, which made the citizens of Paris extremely depressed, kicked off~ IndoMTL.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works At ~IndoMTL.com~
