Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 423: Declare war

On October 20, 1940, on the King's Square in front of the Reichstag Building in Berlin, Xu Jun led some members of the cabinet to the groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation of the Parliament Building.

Since the roof of the building was burnt through in three or three years, Hitler had no intention of completely repairing it. He wanted to use this building as a monument to show the world the "enemies" of the empire. offense. Although the history of later generations proved that the fire was set by Goering, all Germans at this moment believe that it was done by the group of red mobs in the Nazis.

After Xu Jun returned to Berlin, he was quite displeased with the historical fire scene, because the famous Brandenburg Gate was next to the parliament building. Standing at the door, you could see the parliament building burned out and exposed. The scorched black dome, for the head of state Xu Da, who likes to pursue perfection, this is really too horrible.

The opening of the parliament building has been placed on the head of state's schedule. Of course, he will not waste this propaganda opportunity. Xu Jun plans to renovate the parliament building as a symbol of the end of Hitler's era.

The weather in Berlin was clear that day, with only a few scattered clouds in the sky, and the sun shone on the faces of the people in the congregation, driving away the chill of early autumn. Xu Jun, as always, wore his gorgeous field marshal uniform, holding a marshal stick specially made for him, standing on the rostrum carefully constructed by the Berlin city government with his head high and a cross on the side hanging around the venue. The blood-red flag of the eagle emblem drifted gently with the breeze among the woods of Tyre Park.

Your Excellency looked down at the tens of thousands of Berlin people who participated in the rally. Both men and women, old and young, were looking at him with admiration. Everyone held their breath and was silent on the venue. At this time, a complacent emotion could not help but follow. My heart was born spontaneously, and the man should do the same. The ancients did not deceive others.

The fingers tapped the microphones in front of the two lower sides lightly. Xu Jun turned his head and looked back at the people behind him. Borman was full of spring breeze at the moment, Goebbels remained always solemn and solemn, and Ribbentrop was dignified. Himmler is full of piety like participating in a religious ceremony.

"Today is a great day that will be recorded in German history..." Xu Jun turned his face, solemnly started speaking into the microphone.

"Everyone knows that the building behind me once contained the glory and authority of an empire. The glory of the second empire began and ended here, and then... we had a period full of humiliation and In the days of suffering, I believe that none of you have forgotten those old times.

Today, a new page of history is unfolding here. We are here to witness the renovation of this building that carries the history of the empire again. When this project is completed, the building will continue to carry history. The mission given to it, and this time it will prove the glory of our generation of Germans, the great revival of the German nation across the ages. "The head of state waved his fists excitedly. The people boiled up and, under the leadership of the venue leader, raised their right arms and praised the victory loudly.

Xu Jun waited for a while, then stretched out his arms and made a pressing gesture. After a few seconds, the venue became quiet again. The head of the empire was very satisfied with this and showed a smile of relief.

"Citizens of the Third Reich, just yesterday, a batch of materials shipped from Britain arrived at the Port of Hamburg. It was a batch of wool products. I sent people to inspect them. They were all very good textiles. In the days to come, goods from foreign countries like this will fill our warehouses. You will be able to see fashion from France, watches and jewelry from Belgium, and daily necessities from the United States in the windows of Berlin. , You can buy goods from any country in the world in Germany, as long as you can imagine.” Xu Jun poked his finger at the desk of the podium and said.

"Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!" The slogan resounded once again, and he looked at a whole piece of the raised right arm, like dense bushes.

"This is the victory of the empire, and also the victory of each of you." Xu Jun added into the microphone, the cheers became more enthusiastic, like a roaring typhoon, for a while, no other voices could be heard in the ears. , There were constant passers-by passing by near Tyre Park, attracted by the sound here, the crowd began to gather in the venue from all directions. The police in charge of the venue guards and the Führer Guard soldiers quickly blocked a cordon, so latecomers gathered outside the line, and gradually formed a huge circle around the venue.

The new head of state is a little different from Hitler. He is not too keen on public speaking, but the Germans like group activities too much, which has almost become a part of their lives, so Xu Jun also gradually began to increase the number of social activities, and Try to give some speeches every time.

It seems that the effect is indeed significant. Not only has it narrowed the distance between Xu Jun and ordinary citizens again, but it has also played a significant role in promoting his new policies.

In the next half an hour, Head of State Xu Da fully demonstrated his talent for speech, citing classic aphorisms, and he has also exercised on the battlefield, so he can handle this kind of situation with ease. For a while, the young and handsome heads of state had witty words, sometimes throwing out a few humorous jokes, which made the audience laugh loudly, and from time to time splashed a few scoops of dog blood, moved so that the women and children present tears in their eyes, and the hot-blooded men behaved violently. .

Goebbels was even more convinced at this time that the head of state was destined to replace Hitler. From a purely performance level, the two were completely different from each other, but if the appearance of the two sides were counted, Hitler could only cry to death. In the bathroom.

"Hi! Reinhardt! Hi! Reinhardt!" In the slogan, Xu Jun picked up the water glass on the side of the podium and took a sip of water.

This generally indicates that the speech has come to an end, and then the head of state will say some words of praise and gratitude, and may also disclose some new policies and trends, draw some seemingly delicious pie, and finally give three shouts Ended with victory.

At this moment, Weierle came to the rostrum with a blank sheet of paper. He hurriedly boarded the rostrum, first had a conversation with Borman, who was the host of the ceremony, and then took it. The piece of white paper came to Xu Jun's side, and the Lieutenant General gave the piece of paper to the head of state after paying respectful salute.

The head of the empire lowered his head and looked at the content on the paper. The officers and government officials sitting in the front row of the meeting clearly saw the head of state frowned.

Have never encountered this kind of thing before, and the people couldn't help whispering in whispers about whether there was an unexpected event that was so important that the head of state's speech must be interrupted.

Xu Jun was silent for ten seconds, then raised his head, his expression became very serious, and his eyes became sharp and firm.

"Citizens of Germany, just now, I received a message." Xu Jun glanced across the VIP area in the front row, and the generals and school officers in ceremonial uniforms quickly straightened their backs. The people also hurriedly stopped the discussion. Everyone stared at the head of state standing behind the podium, and the square was quiet again.

"Just an hour ago, the Italian army launched a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In this attack, the German army expedition that was conducting military exchanges there was brutally attacked by Italian soldiers. It is now known that there are Two brave German officers left us forever, and three German officers and soldiers suffered different injuries. What is certain is that the German delegation has been stationed in the camp with the German flag during the entire attack, and They kept showing their identities to each other, but they were still being mercilessly attacked by the Italian army." Xu Jun held the podium with one hand and held the water glass with the other. The slightly trembling arm revealed his excitement at the moment.

An exclamation suddenly erupted in the venue. The Germans who were present were stunned by the news, and what followed was a wave of anger burning from the bottom of their hearts. Those stupid Italian pigs, who gave them such courage, dared to challenge the dignity of the Third Reich.

"Citizens, just yesterday, I was still considering how to improve our relationship with Italy and ease the conflicts between our two countries due to certain political differences. We and the Italians have always been friendly allies This is the foreign policy formulated in the era of the former head of state Hitler, and I was planning to continue it before. So when they abandoned their previous agreement and attacked France alone, I did not speak. When they terminated their cooperation with Germany, and When tearing up a large number of trade orders, I did not express my opinion. I thought this was only a temporary phenomenon, and it would definitely be resolved after communication.

Just two days ago, when they blatantly crossed the Albanian border and launched an invasion of Greece, which has always maintained friendly contacts with Germany, I also remained silent about this matter as always. Because these two countries are friends of Germany, we can only remain neutral and cannot favor either side.

The King George II of Greece and Prime Minister Metaxas wrote several letters to me. They asked Germany to lend a helping hand to stop the atrocities of Mussolini’s army. They called us defenders of justice in Europe. , Because we just announced to the world that we have established a new European order under the leadership of Germany.

Actually, after reading these letters, my face was hot, like a slap in the face. I began to reflect on whether Germany is too conniving with our "great ally"~IndoMTL.com~Mussolini has now fully exposed his personal ambitions, and even doesn't care about the previous agreement with Germany. In order to fill his greedy belly, which could never be satisfied, he did not hesitate to trample on and destroy the peace and stability that countless German soldiers exchanged for their blood.

Italy’s invasion of Greece is a blatant challenge to the new European order. We should have stopped him at that time, but thinking of His Excellency Hitler’s entrustment, we could not make a decision that is hostile to Italy.

We tolerated and even condoned Italy time and time again, but in the end we got contempt and provocation. We can no longer remain silent this time. We have to shout out loud and tell the Italians that they have touched the bottom line that they must not offend. They have offended a country that must not be offended. They must pay for what they have done. cost! "Xu Jun waved the marshal's cane angrily, as if beating that big Italian chin.

"I have stated long ago that Yugoslavia was protected by the Greater German Empire. The Italians ignored my warning, attacked the Yugoslav garrison, and killed the German army officers and soldiers present. Since this is the leader of Italy Thinking of it, then I fulfilled his wish. I hereby announce in the name of the head of the Great German Empire that starting at midnight today, the Great German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy will enter a state of war. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately notified the German Ambassador to Rome, and the third The empire officially declared war on Italy." Xu Jun slapped the desk of the podium vigorously.

"War! War! War!" The officers and civil servants in the VIP area in the front row all stood up, raising their right arms to greet their head of state.

ps: Asking for monthly tickets, asking for recommended tickets, asking for clicks, the results at the beginning of the month can't even be squeezed into 100, which is really frustrating.
