Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 262:
The itinerary of the deputy head of state has changed, and the lieutenant team has become busy again. It is necessary to immediately arrange a place for him and the dinner for the day, and at the same time start to check the security of the temporary station. The Head of State’s Military Adjutant’s Office is considering increasing its staff, and it is simply impossible to rely on Daogen and Disenhofen alone.
Hitler once had a team of personal adjutants, including personal doctors, personal servants, car drivers, bodyguards, and pilots. Most of these people died in the woods with the head of state, and the survivors were secretly exterminated afterwards. After a rigorous screening, some of the low-level service staff who remained in the Berlin Chancellery were retained by Xu Jun. Most of them were rookies who had been in the Chancellery for less than a year.
In theory, Dawgen and Randolph are not regular military adjutants, but no one dared to question the appointment of the new head of state. As the head of state's personal military adviser and liaison, military adjutants must be very familiar with the administrative operations of various services and arms, and usually select active-duty officers with rich work experience.
However, this rule was broken by Hitler a long time ago. In the scandal of the former army commander-in-chief von Frisch, Colonel Friedrich Hosbach, then the head of state’s military adjutant, was out of a sense of justice for the military. Secretly revealed the investigation file to General Frisch, but Hitler regarded it as a betrayal. Two days later, the colonel was relieved of his position as a deputy and was re-transferred to the Army Staff. After this happened, Hitler was close to him. The adjutant only retained loyal and reliable SS officers, and this situation continued until the outbreak of the Eastern Front and changed.
Xu Jun’s current dedicated driver is Frank von Geisler. He used to study at the Munich Military University and was ordered to drop out of school for violating school regulations. As a result, he turned his head and joined the SS as soon as he left the school.
Hitler didn’t like people with aristocratic ancestry. This was purely out of personal likes and dislikes, as well as some political considerations, but the new head of state obviously didn’t care about this. He was from aristocracy, so there were many names around him. "Feng" in it.
The history of the Geisler family is not very long. They are the landlords of Junker who flourished in the era of the Kingdom of Prussia. The family runs a beer estate and is famous for producing high-quality dark beer.
Von Geisler has an older brother who serves in the Army and is currently serving as a staff officer in the armored battalion under the Ninth Armored Division. And this Geisler joined the Apostle organization very early, and his loyalty can be guaranteed. So after passing the inspection of Dogen, he was appointed as the special driver for the head of state. When Lieutenant Colonel Randolph went out to perform tasks, he was He came to drive the vehicle in which the head of state was riding.
Standing in the command tower of the demonic version of "Emperor Poison Blade", Xu Jun waved his arms forward vigorously.
"panzervor!" The head of state gave the command out loud.
"Yes, my Führer." Geisler showed only his head from the cabin hatch, and he yelled in reply.
"Card! Very good, it's perfect." The documentary director of the High Command's press office, Salberg, excitedly waved the tin microphone in his hand and almost hit the head of Himmler, who was standing by and watching the excitement. .
Director Salberg, who didn’t know that he had accidentally escaped a death catastrophe, was completely immersed in fanatical artistic creation at this time, and his inspiration flashed in his mind like mushrooms in the woods after the rain. He firmly believes that he is making a great film that will be recorded in German history.
"Prepare for the next shot, move the camera over there, I need to add some more smoke." The director called out the scene staff.
"Didn't you hear the director's order, all move, don't waste the precious time of the head of state!" Himmler also took the opportunity to refresh his sense of existence.
"Is the engine running normally? Next we are going to take a few moving shots." The staff was arranged, and the director ran to the tank and raised his head to ask the driver politely.
"To be honest, I don't know, I hope it works normally." Geisler replied loudly. As a wooden toy, this thing seemed to make a lot of movement.
"This electric engine was originally installed on the Porsche VK4501 test car. We have carried out a careful inspection and there will be no problems in operation." In the cockpit under Geisler, a A technician from the Polshe Company sat in the rudimentary welded driver's seat, raised his head and shouted at Geisler.
"You go and tell the Führer, I'm just a prop." Geisler glanced at the technician obliquely. There was no control equipment in his position. He just made the appearance of driving a tank there. It's not wrong to say that you are a prop.
"It's up to you." The technician was also a tempered man, and ended the topic decisively.
Xu Jun’s fluffy bear project was basically successful. German intelligence agencies intercepted the full text of the report sent back to Moscow by Soviet intelligence agents, which described in detail this German "new super heavy tank", according to the French lurking in the Soviet Union. In the report sent back by the intelligence personnel, Moscow generally believed in the content of the report, except for this super heavy tank, which seemed to be somewhat skeptical.
So Xu Jun decided to add another force and let him take the lead in making a documentary film about the German army's "new weapon development". There have been scams involving heads of state in history, sending wrong messages to hostile countries in order to achieve the goal of strategic deception. However, there is no precedent for making a fake documentary like this to fool the enemy. It can be said that it is another pioneering work of the head of state.
Unlike commercial films, the actors in the documentary are all real people. Brauchich, Keitel, Bock, Rondstede, plus tank expert Guderian, this gorgeous lineup is enough to make Those who have seen this film believe that this is the highest-level German weapons exhibition.
What's more, a handsome German head of state appeared in the movie. He even climbed into this tank enthusiastically~IndoMTL.com~ and rode this behemoth himself. I believe that after seeing this movie, Comrade Steel will firmly believe in the existence of this tank. I am afraid that he will not believe it if he is killed. This is a farce made by the German head of state to deceive him.
Xu Jun's purpose is very clear, and that is to interrupt the Soviet Union's current tank development process, and lead the development of new tanks of the Soviet Red Army into the quagmire of heavy tanks. Don't compare the Soviet Union in 1940 with the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s. After the cruel tempering of the war, the Soviet tanks created that unique style. In the early 1940s, the Soviet Union's processing and design capabilities were far from reaching their level five years later.
During the war, the Soviet Union received technical and material support from its allies, trained a group of excellent weapon designers, and trained a large number of skilled production technicians. Even so, at the end of the war, the Soviet Union's heavy equipment The failure rate is still surprisingly high.
Xu Jun is not worried about the Soviet Union’s early development of the Loving Father series or other steel monsters. On the contrary, he very much hopes that Moscow will make this kind of strategic change and invest in heavy and even super heavy tank projects with complex structures and difficult manufacturing. A lot of valuable production resources.
Under the integrated air-ground tactics of the European Allied Forces, expensive heavy tanks have no room for survival. This has been proven in history, and the miserable end of the elite German armored units on the Western Front in history is this tactic. The best model for success.
