Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 157: Tribute

When Hitler first came to power, dinners were often held at the German Chancellery, mainly for social and publicity purposes, to show the approachability of the head of state and the unity of all classes under the government. There is a staff restaurant in the Prime Minister's Office for staff and guests. Everyone, regardless of position or class, can enjoy their meals here.

The area of ​​the restaurant is not very large, but it is also large enough to accommodate two to three hundred people. However, if the number of people exceeds this amount, the Prime Minister’s Office will often change the banquet to an open venue, just like Hitler’s reception For the dinner of Berlin businessmen, the dining table was placed in the patio in front of the gate of the Chancellery, where Hitler would give honors to Wehrmacht soldiers on a daily basis.

After Xu Jun came to power, he has held banquets in the Chancellery more than once, such as hosting some foreign diplomatic envoys, as well as representatives from various regions of Germany sent to Berlin to swear allegiance, members of government-subordinate social organizations and autonomous organizations, or recent military academies graduate.

Xu Jun also likes to hold press conferences. In this regard, he is even more active than Hitler. The Nazis have a very thorough understanding of the power of public opinion. They invented a set of systematic public opinion warfare tactics. Goebbels was A genius in this area, he clearly knows how to get people's hearts.

In history, there are countless examples of using public opinion to serve the war. No country is immune from the vulgarity. Whether it is the Axis or the Allies, they have spared no effort to instill their ideas in the minds of the people. Many of them have been after the war. It was confirmed as a lie, but at that time the outcome was decided, who would care about it.

This time, Xu Jun will entertain reporters from major domestic newspapers in Berlin, as well as the staff of large overseas news media groups in Germany. He originally thought that the number of people would not be large, but the results were only discovered after statistics. The number of participants may exceed one thousand. This is really unexpected by the organizers, but Goebbels thinks this is a great thing, which proves that the world has begun to pay attention to Germany and pay attention to the voice from here. Germany has regained the influence it lost after the defeat of the Second Reich, and has even greatly surpassed the Second Reich period, and this situation will continue as long as the German armed forces continue to win.

"This is a list of several important media figures. We have arranged them at the main table. Dr. Goebbels will be sitting next to you. On the other side is the Minister of the Interior Himmler." The paper was placed on the coffee table beside Xu Jun.

"You know these people, and I met several of them last week." Disenhofen helped Xu Jun arrange the decorations on his chest, and then picked up the dagger resting on the sofa.

"Where's my speech?" Xu Jun buttoned the buttons of his uniform.

"Here, my head of state." Weierle raised the envelope in his hand.

"What do you think? Weierle." The imperial head turned sideways and took a photo with the full-length mirror, satisfied with his upright figure.

"Very contagious, my head of state." Weierle nodded and replied.

"That's it?"

"What else do you want to hear, my head of state."

"Okay, give the manuscript to Eric." Xu Jun lifted the hem of his uniform, and Eric buckled the dagger on the spring hook of the strap.

"How does this look?" Xu Jun adjusted the diamond-studded platinum cufflinks on the shirt's cuffs, turning his head to ask Weierle.

"Very perfect, my head of state." The chief of staff nodded in praise.

Today Xu Jun is wearing a traditional German marshal's dress, with a clear Second Empire style, so some army is the base camp of the conservative forces in Germany, you can see clearly from the uniform. Hitler was so desperate to add elements of the Nazi Party to his army uniform, but he did not dare to erase the traditional decorations belonging to the German Empire. He could only make some changes in Yamato color.

German uniforms developed to the peak during the Nazi era. Both the style and the accessories have reached almost perfection. Even half a century after the fall of the empire, it can still influence the design of future military uniforms. Xu Jun is doing the opposite of Hitler at this time, that is, gradually erasing the Nazi elements in the army. He is going to start with removing the swastika. In the next round of finalized uniform design, **** is replaced with the second. The Iron Cross of the Age of Empires.

These improvements have been supported by almost all senior German generals. These people are representatives of the German tradition, and the tradition of the German team is to insist that the army should not be linked to politics. Xu Jun knew this was an adventure, but he believed that with his current authority and strength in his hands, his reforms should not encounter too much resistance, provided that he could convince the Nazis that he was still Their leader and solid backing, and will lead them to win again and again brilliant victories, just as Hitler promised, use the German sword to defend the German plow.

"Everything is ready, Minister Goebbels and His Excellency Himmler are waiting in the corridor, my head of state." Secretary Woklein, standing by the side door, reported to Xu Jun.

"Thank you, Wo Ni, please tell them that I will come right away." Xu Jun answered with a smile.

"Okay, my head of state." The secretary returned a sweet smile, and then closed the side door of the living room.

"Fortunately, Blanco Wakewood, from the "New York Times" of the United States." Wakewood enthusiastically stretched out his right hand to his colleagues standing beside him.

In Wakewood’s eyes, this is a gentleman with an elegant manner, and every move reveals the aura of a superior. This kind of temperament can not be cultivated by training, it must be imperceptibly developed for a long time. Cultural precipitation is good.

Wakewood will never give up any opportunity to meet "big people". Years of interview experience allows him to guess the identity and status of a person from his clothes and subtle movements. And this gentleman is obviously from a veteran European noble family, this kind of reservedness and pride that has penetrated into the bones can not be concealed from Mr. Wakewood's eyes.

"Fortunately, Morris Henry, British "Daily Mail." The gentleman smiled kindly and took Wakewood's hand.

"The Daily Mail? It's a big newspaper. I spent three years in London and met several reporters from your newspaper, such as Hartkins for sports and Mike for economics. There is also Bultem who runs celebrity gossip." Wakewood began to show his extraordinary social skills, which will generally quickly bring the two parties closer together.

"I have always been based in Berlin, and I am not very familiar with the people over there in London." Mr. "Henry" quietly let go of Wakewood's hand, still with a gentle smile on his face.

"You are an editor, Mr. Henry, I think people are always very accurate." Wakewood was already convinced that the other party was a "damn rich nobleman", from the one he was wearing It can be seen from the ring that few people now wear this style of pure gold ring. The quaint oval ring is carved with complicated patterns, which looks like some kind of family crest.

Wakewood once studied heraldry for a while, but quickly gave up. There is too much information contained in the European coat of arms. For a while, almost every European family had its own coat of arms, a joke There are even fish sellers. Without professional training, you can't tell which is the traditional nobleman and which is the nouveau riche.

"Then you missed your eyes this time, Mr. Wakewood, I'm just an ordinary reporter." The gentleman reached out and stroked the gray hair behind his head.

"Reporter? You must be joking with me. How could an excellent gentleman like you be an ordinary reporter." Wakewood continued to compliment.

"If you don't believe me, I can't help it, Mr. Wakewood." The other party obviously didn't want to entangle with Wakewood on this issue anymore, so he shrugged his shoulders to give up.

"Is this your first time in the Chancellery? Mr. Henry." Wakewood looked for the topic.

"I have been here before, how about you? Mr. Wakewood, have you been here before?" the gentleman asked with a smile.

"You can't compare to me, Mr. Henry. I have been here many times. To be precise, I have been here fifteen times, including today." Wakewood proudly boasted: " I remember when I first came to the Chancellery, the owner was Adolf Hitler.".

"Have you seen the current master, do you know what I mean, is the new German head of state Reinhard von Steid?" It seems that Mr. "Henry" has become interested in Wakewood's topic.

"Of course I have seen him, Mr. Henry. I have seen him up close twice. You must know that the American people are very fascinated by him now. They also gave him a lot of nicknames. What is "Europa Lion and Blond Prince". Kind of" Wakewood spread his hands and smiled.

"What an impressive name, Mr. Wakewood. Mr. Henry" has a happy smile on his face.

"Attention!" At this moment, the officer on duty on the steps by the restaurant door called out a loud reminder.

"Gentlemen and Ladies, Your Excellency the Head of the Greater German Empire!" The officer on duty shouted his name, and the two waiters standing by the door opened the door of the restaurant~IndoMTL.com~Hi! Reinhardt! "A loud slogan sounded, and all the Germans present raised their arms to salute their respected head of state.

Xu Jun stood tall at the door, his eyes scanned the entire hall with majesty, he raised the Marshal's scepter in his hand, and lightly knocked the brim of his hat in return.

"Victory!" The star officer shouted again.

"Long live!" The Germans cheered in unison.

"Long live victory! Long live victory! Long live!"

The unity atmosphere at the scene infected the foreign journalists who participated in the meeting. They also tried to follow their German counterparts, cheering loudly for victory in German, and paying tribute to the head of the Third Reich.
