Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 24: On the way

　　

　　"Very well, your report is very detailed and I am very satisfied. I will read this report from the Naval Command carefully again. If anything is unclear, I will call you again. Now you can go to rest. Major Sorens."

　　 Xu Jun raised his head and smiled and said to the Lieutenant Commander standing in front of him.

　　 "Yes, my head, I am always ready to call you."

　　Major Solrance nodded to Xu Jun coolly, then turned around neatly and walked to the door with a standard soldier's pace to open the door, turned around at the door, stood up and sat down respectfully to Xu Jun again Weierle, holding a teacup on the sofa in a daze, nodded in greeting, bowed and exited the door.

　　"Hehe, the navy..."

　　 Seeing the over-standard military etiquette of Major Sorrence, Xu Jun couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

　　"What do you think now, my Chief of Staff Your Excellency.... Um? Weierle... Weierle?"

　　 Xu Jun found that his chief of staff had been in that sluggish state since just now.

　　"Battleships, cruisers, destroyers. How many are left, um...three months...no, five months..."

　　 Weierle kept muttering.

　　 After Xu Jun called out several times, Weierle woke up from his thoughts.

　　 "Oh, my Führer, I'm so sorry, I just wandered..."

　　 Weierle put down the tea cup in his hand and hurriedly answered respectfully.

　　 "What were you thinking about, my chief of staff."

　　 "I'm sorry, my head of state. I was just thinking about how many problems this naval victory will bring to our future plans."

　　 Weierle sat upright on the sofa.

　　"The navy is so foolish to use our precious warship in this way. It seems that Marshal Raidel is willing to pay any price to build a new warship.

　　 But his doing this will cause a lot of trouble for our future plans. I regret not setting a loss standard for them in the outline of the plan. No, I should tell the Navy that we will never allow any loss now.

　　If it is a month later, we may still be able to withstand some losses, but it is definitely not possible now. I was too careless to remind you that this is my mistake. "

　　 "I understand what you mean, Weierle. But you can't be blamed. We are not the navy, and we don't know much about naval operations.

　　 So now we can only give the Navy a campaign goal and intention, and at most give them a planning framework. It is better for them to handle the specific implementation.

　　The hard and fast rules will only restrain their hands and feet, and may cause more serious consequences. We laymen who intervene in naval operations, I think the result will be worse than it is now.

　　 Besides, we don’t have any evidence to accuse the Navy of any strategic and tactical errors in this battle. I think the Navy’s plan is more in line with the actual situation than our plan and better than I thought.

　　 though. . . . The loss this time is indeed a trouble. . . . But no one can guarantee that they won't suffer any loss if they win the battle. This is not logical. "

　　 Xu Jun lowered his head and turned the navy report on the desk to the last few pages.

　　"We have no reason to accuse the Navy of not having a big picture.

　　 The Navy has not yet fully understood the overall strategy being revised by the Command. This is normal. The latest combat plan is still being developed. I have not explained these issues to the Navy Department in detail until now, nor did I follow Lei Del personally communicated, it should be regarded as my mistake.

　　 It seems that it is because of insufficient communication. This is a lesson, and we must learn a lesson. Do you think I should bring together the directors of the Three-Service Command to have a meeting to discuss this issue? "

　　 Xu Jun stood up, took the document and started pacing back and forth in the narrow aisle in the middle of the office.

　　 "Of course, my head, I think your decision is very correct."

　　 Weierle stood up respectfully and answered.

　　 "Oh, sit down and talk, Weierle. Hehe, my waist is a little sore, maybe that chair is too soft, so I get up and move around."

　　 Xu Jun waved his hand to Weierle and signaled that the respectful chief of staff sat back on the sofa, and then handed the last few pages of the Navy report to Weierle.

　　"Look, hehe, the picture of the Navy is good, especially the one from the bow of the Prinz Eugen. I like it the most. It can drive her back like that, von. Captain Hertz is really skilled. Superb."

　　 Xu Jun said with a smile.

　　 "My God, the damage is more serious than I thought. Is that still the bow of the ship? It looks like something has been chewed and spit out. It seems that the time I estimated before is short, this boat Basically, there will be no return to the sea within three months.

　　 To make matters worse, the Scharnhorst was damaged by the bombing of the bridge, and the Gneisenau was damaged by the large rangefinder.

　　 It will take at least one and a half months for them to regain their full combat power after changing the equipment and adding messy repairs.

　　 In addition to the fact that the Lützov is still on the slipway and refuses to launch, our fleet will only have two main ships left for battle within a month.

　　 I really don’t know whether I should celebrate the success of this operation. Anyway, the plan made by the commander and you seems to be unchangeable. . . . "

　　 Weierle looked depressedly at the dozens of photos sandwiched between those pages.

　　" But they finally completed the task successfully, and they didn't even leave a shilling for the British. The only troublesome thing was the Sheffield, which was almost hit by the Prince Eugen, in order to rescue The above materials took a lot of time for the fleet, and as a result, it was almost blocked in the sea by the fleet sent by the British to rescue.

　　If that kind of thing really happens, this fleet operation might end in tragedy. "

　　"Yes, the report said it was only four hours away. It seems that the goddess of luck is still on our side. I would like to see the British rescue fleet with my own eyes and see the ones that are sinking slowly What kind of expression will the British battleship look like."

　　 Weierle finally smiled on his face.

　　 "I'm the same as you think, Weierle."

　　 Xu Jun walked to the sofa and sat down beside Weirle.

　　 "And I also want to see the expressions of Keitel and their group of command staff, now they have to revise the plan."

　　 "It must be wonderful, you will see him soon."

　　 Weierle put down the documents and photos in his hand, picked up the teapot on the side coffee table and refilled himself with a cup of tea.

　　 Then the wise chief of staff began to look up and look around to find Xu Jun's teacup.

　　 "Thank you..."

　　 Xu Jun stood up and walked to his desk, picked up his teacup and handed it to Weierle.

　　"The navy side is now a foregone conclusion. It is useless for us to say anything here. And their mission is completed very beautifully. I think the group of accountants from the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Empire are looking at the pile of treasures in a daze. .

　　 5 billion pounds, um, should be equivalent to 50 billion marks. With this wealth, our road forward will be smoother. "

　　 Xu Jun took the tea cup handed over by Weierle and took a relaxed sip of the fragrant flower tea.

　　"Now it seems that there is more than that. I read yesterday’s newspaper and the international gold price has risen again.

　　 If the news that we have seized thousands of tons of British gold is revealed by the British media, I am afraid that the price of gold will soar. "

　　 Weyler said with a smile.

　　"Oh, is it? Anyway, this money must be spent where the empire needs it most. I want to send a telegram to Borman to tell each department to list a preliminary budget first. This question will wait until We must study and discuss carefully when we return to Berlin."

　　 "You are right, my head of state."

　　 Weierle nodded in agreement.

　　" By the way, I promised that the navy's reward should be deducted from the imperial budget first. I am afraid that they will be short of funds for repairs. This time there are too many warships damaged. And they dragged it back. For those enemy ships, we must also formulate a repair plan. We must make full use of all the resources on hand."

　　 "Do whatever you want, my head of state."

　　 Xu Jun walked back to his desk with a teacup and sat down. He put down the teacup and took out a folded document from the drawer beside the table.

　　 This was an order he had prepared long ago, and he had already signed his name on it, and Xu Jun handed the official document to Weierle.

　　"Give this to Major Heinrich later, let him send someone to Berlin to hand it to Martin. Borman."

　　 "Yes, my head."

　　 Weierle respectfully accepted the stacked file.

　　 "Don't you want to know what's written in it? Weierle."

　　 Xu Jun asked with a smile.

　　 "If you want to let me know, you will tell me personally."

　　 Weyler answered with a smile.

　　 "Hehe, you can open it for a look, but apart from you, no second person is allowed to see this document until it is handed over to Borman."

　　 "Yes, my head."

　　 Weierle sat back on the sofa and couldn't wait to unpack the folded documents and read them carefully.

　　 "Hehe, you were already ready, I thought you forgot about it, and I want to find time to remind you."

　　Weiller smiled and raised his head after reading the document.

　　"How could I forget such an important matter, my Chief of Staff. However, this matter involves a lot, and you know its importance. If the content of this document is leaked, the problem will change. Very serious."

　　 Xu Jun replied solemnly.

　　 "I understand, my head of state. I think it would be better to send a special person to send it to Major Heinrich himself. As your confidential secretary, he knows how to be foolproof."

　　 Weierle also made a serious suggestion.

　　"Well...Alright, I thought there might be places where he was needed, but it seems that there is nothing important now, so let him go there in person.

　　 But you have to remind him that this document is very important. Let him be safe and not noticeable on the road. "

　　"Of course, my head of state, I will remind him. This document is related to the development of our future plans and the great cause of German revival.

　　My head of state, you are determined to solve that thorny problem thoroughly. For this, I sincerely admire you. And I am extremely proud that I can witness the great revival of Germany with my own eyes and participate in it personally. "

　　 Weierle stood up and nodded respectfully to Xu Jun.

　　"My Chief of Staff, this is only the first step I have taken for the great revival of Germany. There are more problems for us to solve later. I hope you can help me, guide me, and remind me as always. Are you willing? Weierle."

　　 Xu Jun stood up and looked at Weierle's eyes and asked solemnly.

　　 "Of course I do, my head, that will only be my honor, my head."

　　 Weierle replied respectfully, lowering his head.

　　 "That's great, Weierle."

　　 Xu Jun nodded in satisfaction.

　　"Have you seen the list of people who requested awards in this operation?"

　　 "I have seen it, my head of state."

　　 "What do you think?"

　　 Xu Jun sat back in his seat and picked up a pen, stretched out his hand and pulled out the request for award from the navy report.

　　"I think there is basically no problem. Since the Navy can submit this report, it must be strictly selected and reviewed."

　　 "I think so too, so let's do it."

　　 Xu Jun quickly wrote his instructions on the document, and then pressed the electric bell on the desk.

　　 A sliding door with a green velvet curtain on the other side of the room was opened, and a beautiful female secretary walked in.

　　 "Oh, Miss Sara, please reprint this document for the record, and send the original to Lieutenant Colonel Schulenburg to the Navy Headquarters."

　　 "Yes, your head of state."

　　 Sara respectfully stepped forward and took the document from Xu Jun, then smiled and nodded in greeting before turning and walking out.

　　 "Hehe, my head, Sara looks more and more beautiful."

　　 Weierle smiled and whispered.

　　 "Oh, isn't it? Your Excellency, my chief of staff, she has only worked with me for three days."

　　 "But I remember I saw her before?" The old fox meditated.

　　 "No way, I remember the last time I had a female secretary was at the Battle of Dunkirk Headquarters, and now those ladies are back to the command headquarters."

　　"Oh, the head of state doesn’t like having female secretaries by his side? Female secretaries are attentive and serious, but those male secretaries are hard to reach. Think about my Witte, that frizzy kid, and let him find a file for me. I can write a copy by myself."

　　"Hey, my chief of staff, when did I say that I don’t like to use female secretaries by my side, but... we have been running around the front line, and it’s really not a matter of taking those ladies Too convenient."

　　 Xu Jun answered, scratching his hair.

　　 "That's true, are you satisfied with her job now? My head of state."

　　 Weierle picked up the teapot and refilled himself with a cup of tea.

　　 "Who? Oh, you said Sarah, uh... not bad, she is a good girl."

　　 "Oh, speaking of being capable, my head of state, you will see a more capable lady when we arrive in Paris. She is the most talented woman I know, arguably a genius."

　　 "Oh, who are you talking about?"

　　 Xu Jun was writing a comment on another report, and he casually asked Weierle's praise.

　　 "This... you will know when you arrive at the command, my head of state, I will personally introduce her to you, this time the navy's operation can be successful, she is the biggest behind-the-scenes hero."

　　"You are talking about the Ministry of Intelligence..."

　　"Hehe, you will know soon, my head of state.

　　 By the way~IndoMTL.com~ We may be almost at Versailles now. "

　　 Weierle lifted the curtains next to the sofa, and the strong sunlight from outside the window reflected a dazzling spot on the gorgeous silver-green carpet on the ground.

　　 "Hehe, really dazzling."

　　 Weir reluctantly opened all the curtains, and the dark room immediately brightened.

　　 "Versailles? Then we are almost in Paris. Weierle, have you been to Paris?"

　　 Xu Jun stood up and left the desk, slowly walking to the window and looking out.

　　 The bushes on both sides of the railway flashed past my eyes quickly, and in the distance was the endless flat fertile fields of France, and the green grass was full of flowers of various colors.

　　 "I have been to Paris once or twice, both before the war. It is a city that people will never forget. Oh, a city that can satisfy all people's dreams, my head of state."

　　 "Really, Weierle."

　　 "Yes, my head."

　　"Weiller..."

　　 "What's the matter, my head of state."

　　"Speaking of yuwang...Please inform the dining car, I feel a little hungry."
