Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 25: Platform


  

  "Ding...click...Ding...click"

   Sergeant Smyschel sits leisurely on the black and shiny fender of the Mercedes Benz, playing with a beautiful lighter in his hand.

   The flip cover of the silver lighter keeps opening and closing. Smyschel has practiced this movement for a long time, but I don’t know what’s going on. He always feels that his movement is missing something, and it always feels like this. Only the lighter was as smooth and unrestrained as the owner did.

  "How did you do it? I can see it clearly. It's just like this, but why doesn't it taste like that?"

  Smescher pondered depressedly.

   "Sergeant, can I borrow a fire?"

   Smasher, who was sullenly thinking about things, looked up, and stood in front of him a military police ensign.

   "Oh, no problem! Sir!"

   Smyschel smiled and raised his hand, flexibly opened the lid of the lighter and lit the fire. The ensign of the military police hurriedly lowered his head and put the cigarette in his mouth.

   "Thank you!"

  The second lieutenant of the military police took a deep breath, then exhaled a cloud of smoke happily.

   "You're welcome."

  Smyschel skillfully buttoned the lid of the lighter.

   "This lighter is good, where did I get it."

  The second lieutenant of the military police vomited a ring of smoke and asked, pointing to the lighter in Smasher's hand.

   "It looks like it is American, can you show me it?"

   "Hehe, of course."

  The army sergeant smiled and handed the lighter to the opponent.

  "Oh, it's really made in the United States, Shiba...Made in Chicago, hehe, it seems to be a famous brand. Where did you get such a good thing?"

  The second lieutenant of the military police asked with a smile while handing the lighter back to Smescher.

  "Arras prisoner of war camp. Hehe, this is what I bought from a British guy with a can and a half kilograms of canned beef and two pairs of socks at 30 marks. Authentic American products, listen to this voice." /

  Smyschel proudly opened the lid of the lighter, and the lighter made a clear metal crash.

   "Oh, this way, you are really lucky, this thing is worth at least 80 marks in Berlin."

   Second Lieutenant Gendarmerie looked enviously at the charming little thing in Smescher’s hand and said.

   "But I don't think that British guy has suffered any loss. They are engaged in a black market business in a prisoner of war camp. The pot of beef you gave him is enough to make him recover his losses. This deal is fair."

   "Yes, I also think that British guy seems quite satisfied, haha."

  Smyschel smiled and put his baby in his trouser pocket, then took a piece of chocolate from his pocket.

   "It's really lively today. Come on, sir."

  Smyschel pulled out the wrapping paper and gestured to the military police ensign.

   "No, thank you."

  The second lieutenant of the military police smiled and waved his hand, then turned his head to look at the long black limousines parked on the side of the easy road and the drivers and guards who were as boring as Smyscher around the car. To.

  "Today we are exhausted. Dozens of convoys have to be lined up. Not counting the cars used by you senior officers. We have not stopped since early morning and have been busy until now. The same is true for the security forces, they Last night, additional guards were added around here, and the easiest thing to say is you."

   "Yes, but we are not as relaxed as you said. I washed the car all night last night, and I started to stand by this morning. I haven't closed my eyes until now."

  Smyschel muttered while chewing on chocolate.

   "Everyone is the same. I don't know when the head of state's car will arrive. That's right."

   Second Lieutenant Gendarmerie took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and then turned to Smyscher’s car to check the license plate.

  "Your car is..."

  "It is Von. Admiral Küchler's ride."

  Smyschel said loudly.

   "Yes, General Von. Küchler, according to the command of the headquarters, you will be ranked seventh in the team, pay attention to our instructions, and don't draft the wrong order."

  Said Lieutenant Gendarmerie.

   "Understood, sir!"

  Smyschel hurriedly stood up and saluted and answered loudly.

  "Very well, you can continue to rest. Don't drive the general's car into the ditch then, haha."

  The second lieutenant of the military police responded with a smile, then turned and walked towards a limousine parked in front.

   "Hald, what time is it now, my watch seems to be slow."

   Feng. Marshal Brauchic tapped his finger on the surface of his watch suspiciously.

   "Two o'clock in the afternoon... Seventeen, Commander Commander."

  Franz, Chief of Army Staff. Lieutenant Halder took a pocket watch from his uniform pocket and looked at it.

   "Then my watch is fine."

  The commander-in-chief of the army stopped his beating on his watch, and began to stand tiptoe to the two ends of the platform again.

  "When will the head of state's car arrive?"

   Feng. Brauhizi asked.

  "The scheduled time is 2:30, Commander, I have told you six times."

   Marshal Keitel, Chief of Staff of the High Command, answered.

  "Please relax a little, you seem a little nervous."

   "Oh, I seem to be a little worried, haha." Feng. Brauchic felt that he was indeed a little gagged. He awkwardly took out a handkerchief from his pocket while wiping the non-existent sweat on his forehead while trying to calm his mind.

   "All the old friends who can come today are here. It's a rare event. Remember when was the last meeting like this? It seemed to be at the Berlin Chancellery four months ago." Keitel changed the subject cleverly.

   "Yes, four months ago, but how come I always feel that it seems to be a long time ago."

   Feng. Brausic put Pasay back into his pocket, then pulled the hem of his uniform.

   "That's because although there are only four short months, too much has happened in these four months, and many things have changed forever."

  , the commander of the high command, Yodel, who has been standing on the side without speaking, said lightly.

  "Yes, many things have changed. But at last it is gratifying that everything is going for the better according to current trends. We have won, and Germany has gained a more powerful and wiser Leader, Germany has regained its lost glory."

   Feng. Brositz said with a sigh.

   "I don't know how to say it, I can only pray that God hopes that our choice at the time is correct. Commander, are you so confident in our new head of state?"

   Yodel asked in a low voice.

   "What are you talking about?"

   Feng. Brauchich frowned and asked coldly.

  "Don’t you see the power of the head of state? And I see more in him than in that person. Whether it’s noble character or fearless courage or superman His perseverance, political talent, military talent, he can surprise us every time. Now I believe that he is the messenger sent by God to save Germany and revive the Germans... ."

   Feng. Brositz said excitedly.

  "That person? Sorry, my marshal. I remember that four months ago you vowed to show your loyalty to the man you called it. I did not expect that now Adolf. Hitler became immediately after his death. "That person"."

  Yordel continued to speak in his lukewarm tone.

   "What do you mean by saying this?"

   Feng. Brauhizi stared at Yordel coldly and said.

  "Are you suspicious of my personality? Lieutenant General Yodel, this is a very serious accusation. I ask you to apologize to me immediately!

   Adolf. Hitler has become history, he is dead, and when he swallows the last breath, our pledge of allegiance to him has been automatically annulled.

   There is only one person to whom we German soldiers should be loyal, and that is the current head of state! "

   "If I offend you, Commander, I apologize to you. But what I want to ask is whether the head of state is really as great and excellent as you said. I doubt this.

   You must know that I have dealt with him many times. It can be said that he knows him better than any of you. According to his previous performance, I really can't find anything comparable to the former head of state.

   Although his performance in the past two months did surprise me a bit, it was not enough to completely change my impression of him.

   And your Excellency Marshal, can you guarantee that his extraordinary performance will continue and not be temporary? What if he reverts to the old state? What will happen to Germany by then, the great German revival What will happen, have you considered these issues? My Lord Marshal! "

  "Adolf. Hitler died and he survived, which is enough to prove the strength and excellence of Reinhardt. von Steid.

   And he is a real German soldier, we have all seen his noble military qualities. It's about blood, Feng. The Steid family is also much better than that person.

  Look again at the several battles he planned, those brilliant victories, are these not enough to persuade you to give up your stupid views?

   Lieutenant General Yodel! Your current thinking is very dangerous. Although I understand that you are worried about the future of Germany, you really should not say this in front of me. You even commented on the supreme leader in front of your boss and doubted the personal ability of the head of state. , I can arrest you now! "

  As he said, the topic they are discussing now is too sensitive and dangerous. The commander of the army not only deliberately lowered his voice, but also stood on his tiptoes and looked around like a prairie mongoose, confirming No one pays attention to their conversation here.

  "What you said is indeed the truth. I cannot deny that in that duel, the Führer did show wisdom and strength above Adolf. Hitler.

   But you can't deny that although he won in that duel, the element of luck is quite high.

   So this is not a reason for us to choose him, I think we should be more cautious, my marshal. "

  Yordel still said calmly.

  "Why did you only say it until now, Yodel. Why did you not give an opinion when we all opposed that person? You also participated in the collective resignation of the command. I want to know why you have only dealt with us until now. Choose to express doubt?"

   Halder calmly asked Yodel from the side.

  "Because the situation had become like that at the time, I couldn’t help but act with everyone. Hitler’s decision at the time was indeed a bit excessive, especially his blind trust and indulgence in Heydrich. The stability and security of the country cause serious damage.

   I don’t want to see the German army corps split because of that SS clown. That means the split of the German Wehrmacht, which is an unbearable blow for Germany.

   Therefore, I can only act with the officer corps, but this does not mean that I agree with your choice at the time. I am still willing to trust my instinct. . . . "

   Yodel answered in a low voice.

   "Okay, everyone is enough. This is not the time to discuss this kind of problem, nor the place to discuss this kind of problem. This is not only the four of us, don't forget there is a group of generals over there."

   Keitel found that the endurance of his heart had reached its limit. If this dangerous topic is not prevented from continuing, this fellow Yordel might say something more.

   No matter how you say it, now he will never give up this genius, so Keitel quickly jumped out to clean up the mess.

  "Lieutenant General Yodel, I understand your thoughts very well, and what you said today gave me a deeper understanding of your personal character and thoughts. This really makes me happy.

   But please put your doubts in your heart first, and use your eyes to verify the facts. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Your Excellency the head of state will let you completely change your previous view of him. This is Feng and I. Marshal Brauchic was deeply moved.

   If you stay with him and work for a while, you will understand the meaning of my words. You know, Manstein and Guderian, and even General Lundstede have the same feelings as us. They now agree that our choice is correct. If you have any doubts about this, then let Let the facts speak for themselves.

   And now please give up your opinion for the time being, we have more important issues to discuss, after all, we have not ended this war. "

   Keitel said seriously.

   "I, I understand, Your Excellency Chief of Staff! I hope you are right, and I hope my doubts are wrong. In that case, the Germanic revival will no longer be an empty dream."

   "It's good if you understand, Yodel, I have been looking forward to you."

   Keitel said with a smile.

  "It’s true. I’m like Keitel’s chief of staff. You are one of the best staff I have ever seen, so I don’t want to lose you because of issues other than the military, Yodel, you know what I mean, I Not much to say."

   Feng. Brauchic also said with a smile.

  "Thank you for your trust and concern, Your Excellency Marshal."

  Yordel also found that the words he said earlier were a bit out of character, and he was smart and immediately climbed down the ladder that Keitel had built.

  "However, I now doubt whether I can persuade those people like you..."

   Keitel blinked at Yordle, then snarled to the side.

  "This...Haha, I doubt this too. Your Excellency Chief of Staff"

   Yodel looked in the direction that Keitel directed, then turned around and said with a wry smile~IndoMTL.com~ I don’t know why the Führer had to call them here, it seems that our Führer wants to create again Show us a miracle, ha ha. However, it is not an easy task to subdue those few people. It will definitely not be solved in a moment. I think our head of state seems a little too confident. "

   Feng. Brauchic also said with a wry smile.

  "Should we go over and chat with them, after all, they are all old friends and old officials."

  "I can’t use it anymore. The time is almost here. I think I should get ready. Where did Lundstede and the others go? Reichenau and Blaskowitz, and Liest Where? By the way, what about Loeb and his men? Witzleben, Dorman."

   Keitel looked around.

   "I seem to see them running up the hillside on the other side of the platform. It seems that General Loeb said it is too restrictive and they want to go for a walk. I think they will pay attention to the time."

   Halder said to Keitel.

   "Oh, that's it, but I still find someone to inform them, the time is almost up."

   After talking, Keitel turned and walked towards the pergola built by the temporary platform.
