Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 305: Reich Chancellery
At the end of the speech, the officials followed the Führer and left the field. The group of people boarded the car again in front of the Brandenburg Gate, and the convoy turned right and drove like the street leading to the Chancellery.
This street was once renamed Hermann Goering Street after the Nazis came to power. However, due to well-known reasons, Hitler ordered the removal of the street signs on this street, but he had not waited for him to start the street. With a new name, Your Excellency the Führer lost his life on the French front. It was not until Xu Jun came to power that he decided to change it back to its original name, Albert Street. The name was given to commemorate the Weimar President Friedrich Albert.
The German Chancellery is not far from the Brandenburg Gate. The most important government agencies in Germany are all concentrated in this area. Turning left from Albert Street, the motorcade drove past the side entrance of the Chancellery on Worth Street. The tall square pillars supported the heavy granite lintel, which was inlaid with a huge stone eagle emblem.
"I know you don’t like Hitler’s design very much, my head of state, please give me more time. I already have a plan for this..." Goebbels said to the seat behind Xu Jun Leaning forward and whispered.
"Don't talk about this outside, Goebbels." Xu Jun frowned slightly and glanced at the Minister of Propaganda.
"I'm sorry, my Führer." Goebbels quickly apologized respectfully and sat back in his seat.
At this time, Borman, who was sitting next to Goebbels, showed a sneer. He turned his head and winked at Himmler, who was sitting in the third row, but Himmler was inexplicably right. He shrugged his shoulders. "Really pretending to be stupid." Borman turned his head back in disinterest.
The address of the Prime Minister’s Office is No. 4 Voss Street on the government registration form. The side entrance on Voss Street should be considered the main entrance. But Hitler’s special hobbies cannot be supported. He had to open the front door to the entire building. On one side, it clearly ordered all visitors to enter and exit from the gate of No. 73 Wilhelmstrasse. Only a limited number of senior Nazi officials were eligible to enter the Chancellery through the “side gate” on Voss Street.
The convoy stopped at the corner of William Street. Only the head of state's car can pass through the gate and enter the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Office. Other vehicles can only park along the street. Because there are too many cars, some cars can only park at the opposite of the Prime Minister's Office. On William Square.
The Führer has just returned to the heart of the empire. As usual, it is necessary to take a two-day rest to settle the camp. By the way, let Xu Jun familiarize himself with the facilities and environment of the future office and residence. In addition, there is the placement of personnel and equipment such as the secretary of the entourage, the relocation of the guards, plus the chefs, servants, service personnel, convoy drivers, etc. Obviously there is a lot of settled work that needs to be done immediately.
The officials said goodbye to the heads of state at the gate of the Chancellery. They had to rush back to their units, and then waited there to attend the evening celebration reception. By then, all the middle and high-level officials stationed in Berlin would attend. That was after Hitler died. . It is the first time that the Nazi government has held such a large-scale gathering of officials. In the eyes of officials, this is an excellent opportunity to connect with those new colleagues. Many people even started for tonight's event a week ago. ready.
Goebbels and Himmler bid farewell for the last time. Xu Jun promised that they would summon them alone the next day, and the two reluctantly boarded their cars and left. In the end, only his lieutenant team and Martin Borman remained by Xu Jun’s side. The latter was left behind by him. Xu Jun had many questions in his heart that needed to be discussed with him. I believe this imperial chief can give He has some useful opinions, such as the huge and magnificent Prime Minister's Office in front of him. Apart from the designer and Hitler, who is more familiar with this place than Martin Borman.
Xu Jun raised his head and looked around the empty patio in front of the main entrance of the Chancellery. This courtyard surrounded by high walls is called the House of Honor. It is also called the Ceremony Hall. It was Hitler who reviewed the meritorious officers Place of honor. In the original history, in the last days of the Third Reich, Hitler left many vivid images of official business here. In this courtyard, Hitler used trembling hands to award a team of German soldiers and soldiers, and immediately pushed these people back on the **** battlefield.
Every detail of the main entrance of the Prime Minister's Office shows the majesty of the Empire to outsiders. The whole has a strong style of ancient Roman temples. Tall Roman columns, marble steps, bronze statues on both sides of the gate, and delicate beamed eagle emblems on the lintel. It gives people a solemn feeling, and just standing here makes people feel awe involuntarily.
The bronze statues on both sides of the steps have a special meaning. The man holding a torch on the left represents the political party and guides the people with light, and the man holding a sharp sword on the right represents the army, defending the country with weapons.
"My Führer." Martin Borman greeted respectfully, standing on the steps. Xu Jun looked up at the manager, and then stepped onto the marble steps.
The two guards and flag soldiers standing under the pillars on duty, wearing straight black formal dresses, wearing white ceremonial armed belts between their chests and waists, and holding chrome-plated 98K ceremonial rifles in both hands. They are now erecting the rifles. In front of him, salute the new owner of this mansion with a gun. Xu Jun raised his cane and slightly knocked the brim of his hat in return to the sentry, and followed Borman into the gate of the Prime Minister's Office.
Passing through the tall main entrance, the first thing you arrive at is a richly decorated foyer. This is where visitors and attendants who have not gained the right to be seen wait. There are high-quality wool carpets on the ground, and a circle of sofa chairs against the wall. Every few chairs, there is also a pot of decorative potted plants in the middle.
Passing through the foyer is the real entry into the Prime Minister's Office. The first room is the famous mosaic hall. This is a room decorated with burgundy marble and geometric paneling and tapestries. There is nothing tall and empty. Pieces of furniture and furnishings, the top is a hollow glass ceiling, the sun shines through the glass on the red marble floor, making people feel an indescribable magnificence. At the end of the room, the two high doors, gray marble doorposts and golden eagle emblems on the top, seem to remind visitors where they are now.
"Although I am not here for the first time, this building still shocks me every time." Daogen exclaimed from the side.
"You will be here from now on, Colonel Dogen, trust me, you will get used to this place soon." Borman finished speaking and walked to the second door. The two had already The guards waiting there pushed open the door.
Behind the mosaic hall is a small circular hall. The interior lighting is only a white large ceiling lamp, surrounded by beige decorative panels, and the corners are dotted with square flower pots full of flowers. There is a saying that this is from Hitler's design, in order to let visitors from the bright flower hall suddenly enter a dimly lit narrow area, will instinctively feel a kind of confusion and anxiety, psychologically suppressed. However, Xu Jun seems that the facts are not as evil as the legends. This is just a transitional room, and there is no need to keep visitors in it. Moreover, the visitors are not only opponents but more of German allies. According to Xu Jun, the significance of the existence of the small round hall is to make visitors feel more shocked when they see the next room, so as to satisfy Hitler's love of showing off.
When Borman opened the door of the small round hall, his eyes suddenly opened up, ten meters high, twelve meters wide, and two hundred meters long, a huge marble corridor appeared in front of Xu Jun. The ground is covered with smooth reddish-brown marble, and the polished light can be seen. When Xu Jun’s leather boots step on it, he can feel the smoothness of the marble. It is said that Speer once reminded Hitler that the ground may be too smooth to make visitors slip, and Hitler's answer to him was unexpected, is to let them walk on thin ice here, which can make them more easily afraid. Obviously this is another rumor that is falsely spread. More Nazi officials come and go here, but no one has fallen on all fours here.
"My head of state, I changed a batch of new works according to your request. The original paintings have been put in the underground storage room." Borman introduced graciously.
"I have seen it, I have done very well, I am very satisfied." Xu Jun nodded slightly in praise. In this marble gallery called the Third Reich Mirror Gallery, the walls are not paintings, but huge embroidered tapestries about two people tall. Most of the contents are related to religious myths and ancient wars. At Xu Jun's request, a batch of new works have been put on ~ IndoMTL.com~ Although there are some legends and war scenes, they are much higher than Hitler's taste.
A group of people walked on the empty promenade, with only the sound of leather boots stepping on the marble floor in their ears. They walked to the middle of the promenade, where there was a tall gate surrounded by thick black-gray marble doors. Pillars, carpets are laid on both sides of the doorway, and sofa chairs are placed on them for waiting. Two heavily armed guardsmen stood guard on both sides. On the other side of the door is the core office of the prime minister.
"Look, we have changed the logo, my head of state." Borman stood by the door and pointed at the top of the lintel. Originally there was a coat of arms representing Adolf Hitler's AH, but now it is a marble sign of the same style, but the text in the middle is changed to LVH, which is Reinhard von Stein Shorthand for Germany.
"Come in, my head of state, from today onwards, everything here belongs to you." As he spoke, Borman gently opened the door in front of him. (To be continued.)
