Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 31: Old Friends (Part 2)


  

   "Dogan!" Weiller shouted loudly: "Colonel Dogan!"

   "What's the matter!"

   Daogen, who was burning with anger, turned his head and glared at Weirle, his tone full of impatientness.

   Daogen was already on the verge of exploding. He had completely lost his usual mechanical calmness. He now only wanted to make a hole in the head of the shameless traitor in front of him.

   But when Dogen turned his face to see Weierle's expression, his soaring anger suddenly collapsed like an avalanche, and it turned into a stream of cold sweat out of his body.

   Weierle’s cold eyes made the strong Dogen shudder, and coupled with the rock-like hard and serious expression, the angry SS colonel suddenly wilted like a pot of cold water poured over his head. Down.

  Dogen came to his senses, and he suddenly realized that his current behavior was a bit too presumptuous. He looked at Weierle awkwardly, then turned his head and glared fiercely at Canaris, who was now holding the cup and looked at him indifferently, angrily and slowly inserted the half-drawn pistol back into the skin of his waist. In the holster.

  " Colonel Dogen, what do you want to do, sit down and listen to him to finish."

   Weierle regained that calm expression. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and added a little wine to Dogen's can.

   "I'm sorry, my Excellency General, I have lost my mind." Daogen quickly returned to his seat, and he respectfully apologized to Weierle.

  "Well, it may be related to alcohol. You need to exercise your drinking capacity, Colonel Dogen, finish the wine in your glass. Before that, let’s listen to how General Canaris did it for himself. Defense of the behavior."

   Seeing Dogen's unhappy and helpless expression on his face, but still honestly holding up the tin box in front of him, Weirler couldn't help but smile, then turned his gaze to Canaris.

  "Let’s talk about it, William, where did everything you did to safeguard Germany’s interests, and how did you save Germany."

  "It’s a shame. I thought this SS colonel who was full of killings would give me a shot. His luck is really good. There is a smart man like you to help him. Humph, if Let his master know that if I died so happily because of his impulse, he would definitely not let him go. It's a pity..." Canaris slowly put down the wine glass, he squinted provocatively. Daogen said leisurely.

  "Canalis...Canalis..."

   Weierle slowly shook his head and said: "I remember I warned you just now..."

   "I see, I'm sorry, I apologize!" Canaris said, shaking his hands quickly.

  "Okay, put away your bitter tongue. I am not here to listen to your complaints. I came here to see you to find an answer. I want to know why I was my most trusted and respected friend. Betray one's motherland."

  "Betrayal?" Canaris put down his glass angrily.

   "I said, I did not betray Germany, everything I did was to defend her."

  "Your assistants have all confessed. What's his name, Hans. Colonel Aosta, right? He is the liaison between you and the rebel group, and he takes part in most of the rebel group activities on your behalf , Including all transactions between you and the enemies of Germany.

   Your Excellency Admiral Canaris, you have chosen a very reliable subordinate. He only persisted for fifteen minutes in the interrogation room of the Central Security Office, and then very wisely chose to be loyal to the Head of State. He had already told everything he knew, a full 143 pages of confession.

  , plus the things found in the safe of your office and the mezzanine of your residence, are enough to get you executed fifty times for treason and conspiracy to subvert. "

   Daogen is flushed now, he said coldly with a smug look on his face.

   "Really, I know all of this, Hans, this idiot, this is the only mistake I made. I should have known that anyone is unreliable."

   Kanaris smiled bitterly and shook his head, then he sank his face into Weierle’s eyes and said gravely: "Weirle, do you want to know why I do those things? I can tell you, but Please answer my question first. Do you think Germany can win the final victory in this war?"

   "Of course we can, under the leadership of the head of state, we will definitely be able to win the final victory!" Daogen yelled loudly, and he gave a loud burp after speaking.

   "I did not ask you, you SS drunkard, I never expected to get other answers from your foolish heads."

   "Calm down, continue to drink your wine, Colonel Dogen, try this caviar."

   Weierle held down the Dogen who wanted to go crazy, he picked up the bottle and filled Dogen with whiskey, and then put the canned caviar in front of Dogen.

   "Canaris, I can't answer your question right now, I can only say that according to the current situation, we have a great chance of winning."

   Weierle pondered for a while and then slowly said.

  "Really, it seems that you are also blinded by the superficial phenomenon, Weirle."

   Kanaris inserted a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth. As he chewed, he continued: Hitler was a lunatic, and I remember you agree with it. On the day we attacked Poland, I saw his crazy side. He was completely crazy, shouting at me in the office like a mad beast, constantly talking to me about his theories. "

   Kanaris swallowed the food in his mouth and took a sip of the wine.

  "We all know how serious the consequences of the renewed war in Germany will be, and this man is so obsessed with war, then I felt how big a deviation in my view of the National Socialist Party was. I understand that this man and his party will push Germany into boundless hell, and Germany will be destroyed because of this crazy man."

   Kanaris glanced at Weierle when he said that, he wanted to find some approval on the other's face. The result disappointed him, Weierle didn't respond to his words, only slowly tasting the wine there.

   Kanaris turned his face to look at Dogen, only to find that Dogen did not show the anger he expected, and now the SS leader is facing the can of whiskey luck.

   Feeling a little frustrated, Kanaris scratched his nose. He took an awkward sip and continued: “I found that I should re-examine the true face of the National Socialist Party. I did a lot of investigations. I found that I was frightened. Germany was slowly merging with the National Socialist Party. That man controlled the entire Germany in this way. No one could oppose him, except for a handful of brave and upright people. No one dared to resist him. Rule."

  "Honest and brave people? Your Excellency Admiral Canaris...Most of them have become spies of other countries. I never thought that Germans willing to be foreign spies can be considered honest and brave. , A group of traitors who only put cold arrows behind their backs to betray their own country and nation..." Daogen said viciously, and took a sip of wine after he finished speaking.

   "Whatever you say, this problem is too complicated for the brains of SS members like you."

   Kanaris glanced contemptuously at Daogen and continued: "Weirle, you know the danger of war. We cannot defeat all the enemies. Although we have achieved very rich results, we will also save These results have fallen into the quagmire of war, and I can guarantee that we will sink deeper and deeper until we exhaust all our strength. You will not fail to see this.

   Although we have won temporarily, this victory will never last. Germany is poor in resources, and a large number of strategic materials need to be imported from abroad. Our military resources cannot support the war for a long time. Our national strength does not have the National Socialist Party. It is as powerful as it is publicized.

   Our weapons are not much advanced than the enemy. We are seriously lacking naval power, our air force is controlled by an idiot, and our head of state is even more crazy. . . .

  What does this mean? This means that Germany will be slowly burned by the war that the lunatic provoked. The hard work and efforts we have put in for the revival of Germany in the past two decades will be lost because of the crazy ambitions of the Kuomintang Social Party. Flow, Germany may also be completely destroyed for this. "

   Kanaris took a long breath after saying this. He looked at Weirle and continued: "So, I must prevent these things from happening. I contacted those who resisted, and they all talked to me. Hold the same view. Germany must be liberated from the rule of the National Socialist Party, and the government of that lunatic must be overthrown. No matter what methods are used, it does not matter if Germany suffers temporary losses. This is better than complete destruction of Germany. More.

   We can rebuild the government and re-establish order. We can get help and support from those allies. Germany will definitely be able to return to the ranks of European powers. I look forward to that day. "

   "So you fell to us when the Führer confronted Hitler." Weierle asked slowly.

  "Yes, this is an opportunity. As long as I can reach Hitler, I will certainly not give up."

  "Then your goal has not been achieved, why are you betraying Reinhardt."

  "Willer, don’t you think your question is stupid? My ultimate goal is to overthrow the rule of the National Socialist Party. After Hitler is eliminated, how could I be loyal to another Nazi leader? They are all Can't you see the same kind of people?

   I can guarantee that now this Reinhardt will become another Hitler. Because his current performance sometimes makes me think that the choice at the time may be a mistake, this person is definitely more dangerous than Hitler. Weierle, I know your loyalty to Germany, one day you will regret your choice now. "

   Kanaris looked up at the high skylight. Now the sun has set, and it's pitch black outside.

   Because of Weierle's relationship, the electric light in the cell was turned on, and under the dim light, Canaris' eyes flashed with excitement.

  "You are wrong, Canaris. You don’t know Reinhardt von Steide. He is definitely not the kind of person you are talking about. I believe in my own vision. I am very sure of this. .

   You haven't met him, haven't contacted him, haven't talked to him, this is your biggest mistake.

   Kanaris, I can tell you, in fact, he has discussed with me what you said, and he is also very worried about it. But now that Germany has entered the battle, there is no second way to go other than to win the final victory. We absolutely cannot make any compromises, let alone trust the so-called sincerity of those foreign forces.

  Germany has already demonstrated its extremely powerful combat effectiveness in the world. Germany has become a threat in the eyes of those countries. As the director of an intelligence department, you wouldn't even lack this strategic vision.

   Now, we can only continue to fight like this. Germany cannot afford the second defeat. This will be a disaster for Germany.

   We want to win. Only victory can break through the current crisis. We are already on the chariot. This chariot cannot be stopped until all the enemies are destroyed or destroyed by the enemy. "

   Weierle stood up and said to Canaris indifferently: "Now I know what you think, you didn’t disappoint me too much, Canaris."

   Weierle patted Daogen who was still shocked at the can.

   "I think we should leave here, Daogen."

   Then Weierle took Dogen to the cell door.

   "I think your idea may not be wrong, but you used the wrong method, Canaris."

  Weiller walked to the door and stopped. He turned around and said, "You should not betray your own country. No matter how noble the reason is, you can't collude with foreign forces to sell the interests of Germany. Defense by behavior, the information you sell and the information you deliberately conceal will cost countless soldiers' lives. Is this what you want?

  If Germany fails, will those countries really fulfill their promises to you, and will they allow the Germans that have beaten them to rise again? What a fool, Canaris, you are a fool. I am thankful that we can stop you in time before you cause further harm to Germany. God bless Germany, you were dug out by us.

   There is no future for you now, so I don’t want to say that one day you will regret what you have done. Well, you still have half an hour to enjoy this last supper. . . . "

   After saying that Weierle turned and walked outside the cell.

   "Wait a minute... Weirle..." Canaris jumped up and shouted.

   "Half an hour...bye, Canaris, my old friend."

   Weierle's figure paused at the door. He didn't look back, then he leaned over and walked out of the cell.

   "Wait a minute, Weierle, I have something to say... Weierle... Weierle..."

   Weierle took a somewhat drunk Dogen and Adjutant Witt forward along the corridor firmly, and Canaris shouted hoarsely behind him.

   "I thought he had no fear of death." Daogen said softly.

   "No one does not fear death, but sometimes forgets it."

   "Do you think you have found the answer?"

   "I found it, I found that my faith in the road we are going to go down has become stronger. Daogen, what do you think of this meeting."

   "Very boring, I think you are right, I really shouldn't have come to this place. I am a soldier. I only know that I am loyal to my country. I don't have time to think about other issues."

   "I see what you are thinking in front of you."

   "Where, I didn't think about anything, I just drank a little more and felt a little dizzy. In addition, I have been restraining myself from wanting to shoot that nonsense guy in the head."

   "Hehe, Daogen, you are indeed a pure warrior."

   "Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency General."

   When the three people walked to the ground, Yorks had already set up the execution grounds. A wooden pillar was nailed to the ground against a stone wall. Four incandescent searchlights brightened the open area, and ten armed military policemen were beating them. Stand aside and rest.

  "Your Excellency, Mr. Colonel, you see, I have all set up. Will I bring the prisoner up now?" Yorks wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over and said eagerly.

   "No, let's take another half an hour."

  "Well, I prepared some food, and the guards will send it down immediately, so he must have the last supper."

  "This is no longer necessary. I brought him something to eat. He is enjoying it now. But my adjutant hasn’t eaten yet. Would you like to prepare some food for him."

   "What about you and the colonel?"

  "We have all eaten~IndoMTL.com~Now I want to walk around."

   "Okay, yes, my Excellency General."

   Weierle walked slowly to a corner of the courtyard and sat down on a rock beside the corridor.

   "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, look at the stars in the sky. It seems that tomorrow will be a sunny and good day." Daogen walked over to Weierle and looked up at the sky.

   "Yeah, I will enter Paris tomorrow. I hate reviewing on rainy days."

   Weirler took out his cigarette case and lighter from his pants pocket, and then took out a folded document from his chest pocket.

   Weirler opened the cigarette case, took a cigarette out of it, put it on his ivory cigarette holder, and held it in his mouth.

   Then he unfolded the document and checked it under the afterglow of the searchlight, then lit the lighter neatly, and the jumping flame lit the document.

  "General, what is this?" Daogen asked with some confusion.

   Weierle raised his hand and lit a cigarette with the document. After taking a deep breath, he threw the document that was almost burning to his feet.

   "The head of state's amnesty for Canaris." Weirler said lightly.

   "What! What about you?"

  "The head of state asked me to decide whether to use this pardon according to my personal judgment, and this..."

   Weierle pointed to the ashes on the ground that were still blowing smoke.

   "That's my answer."
