Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 357: Meeting (top)

For that Majesty Caesar, Xu Jun is personally interested in him. As a former top decision-maker in the empire, William II holds a large number of secrets that only the parties can understand. With his death in history, these secrets were taken into the tomb, leaving a bunch of unsolved mysteries for later historians.

This proud Caesar dreamed of restoring his empire until his death, and even lowered his posture to write a letter to flatter the former corporal.

Hitler is not someone who can be impressed by a few compliments. Even though he had idolized the emperor when he was young, but after a fiasco in the First World War, the emperor has fallen from a high altar. under. Hitler’s attitude towards the old aristocracy also gradually changed with the improvement of his personal status. In the face of the new power, only a few people of the old German aristocracy can retain their morals. This is what Hitler despised these people most. This contempt eventually extended to the emperor they supported.

The rise of the Nazi Party relied on wooing and inciting the low-level civilians, but if you want to control a country’s power and maintain the operation of the entire national system, you must get the support of the upper-level elites, so until the outbreak of the European war, This head of state has been trying to control the balance between the two classes.

For this reason, he continued the policy of the Weimar Republic in dealing with the treatment of the old royal family. He paid the royal family allowance on time every month, enough to allow the emperor to live a comfortable and easy life in the exile.

It took more than ten years for the Weimar Republic to erase the traces of the emperor's existence, because whether it was the media slander or the deprivation of the title of nobles, the noble class of the Second Empire was still intact. Afterwards, many of them were still diehard loyalists of the Prussian royal family, dreaming about restoring the former empire and welcoming their exiled emperor every day.

Almost all the key generals in the German Wehrmacht participated in the First World War. They also vowed allegiance to the emperor. Their nostalgia and attachment to the glory of the old empire have not diminished due to the rise of the Third Reich. On the contrary, these nostalgic emotions have increased day by day because of the German victories on the battlefield.

For the Nazi Party, these unrealistic ideas are obviously a serious threat to the Nazi regime. Most of the Nazi leaders who came from the grassroots will never tolerate the comeback of the old forces. They will not tolerate the nobility. They take away the power they hold and the "revolutionary achievements" they have obtained through hard work.

So Hitler would never allow the restoration of the Second Empire. In his opinion, the decay and fall of the old empire’s regime, coupled with an incompetent emperor and a group of stupid generals, and "dark arrows" from domestic enemies, these The combination of factors ultimately led to the defeat of the country he loved.

All of the above just proved the glory and correctness of his theory and the existing policies of the Nazi Party. As a symbol of the old empire, William II can continue to bring out the brilliance and stalwart of the head of the empire as long as he survives in the world for one day. Hitler disguised himself as a sympathizer of the royal family just to entice the royalists to cooperate with the Nazis.

Xu Jun did not have Hitler's veteran feelings. He had not experienced World War I. He just tried to understand the emperor from the mouths of generals and marshals and the archives of the Berlin Chancellery. In fact, these files are not complete. In order to evade responsibility, most of the correspondence and meeting records have been destroyed by the emperor's order.

This time the new head of state wants to meet with William II, not because of a temporary impulse, but a decision after careful consideration. As a true dictator, Xu Jun would not allow the emperor to restore it now, and it is impossible for Germany to restore the dual rule of the old empire, especially when it is about to face the extremely cruel Eastern Front War.

But Xu Jun will still pick up this Caesar, and even plan to lift him up to the cloud again, but in his plan the emperor only exists as the mascot of the country and a souvenir of the re-emergence of the German Empire.

In addition to enjoying the honorable status of the royal family, William can no longer hold any substantial power. It can be said that he will not even have the opportunity to become a puppet.

The Hohenzollern royal family is Xu Jun’s insurance for the future of Germany. He knows that the dictatorship is a double-edged sword. Even now he will often indulge in the infinite power in his hands. Xu Jun Can not guarantee that his successors can resist the temptation and corruption from power.

He is very worried that the European Union system and world balance that he has built will fall apart due to the stupidity of a successor. Therefore, Xu Jun is not prepared to leave the same supreme authority to his successor. He envisions resuming the functions of the German parliament at an appropriate time, and at the same time, he must apportion the power he has in his hands and re-establish the separation of powers. Constitutional system. The existence of the German royal family at that time was a sharp weapon Xu Jun used to restrict the power of parliament.

Of course, the premise of all these problems is that he can win the upcoming war, otherwise these are still just empty talks.

Xu Jun admires Franco in terms of power transition. No matter what the dictator has done, there is no doubt that he is a patriot. Franco returned power to the Spanish royal family, not only succeeded in preserving the political achievements of the dictatorship, but also maintained the stability of the country and society, and avoided political turbulence caused by the transfer of power.

On the other hand, if Hitler died suddenly and no other heir was appointed, the dictator’s crown is very likely to fall into the hands of Goering. At that time, no matter whether the Wehrmacht, the SS or the top Nazis will tolerate this one. The stupid pig is in charge of the empire, and it can be foreseen that an extremely tragic power struggle will erupt in Germany.

In this life, if Xu Jun had not won the support of the Wehrmacht and the SS, and the Goering family had left early, he would never have been able to sit on the throne of the Führer so smoothly, while inheriting Hitler’s political legacy. A civil war may break out.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Jun got on his Mercedes-Benz 770K, hugged by the guards, and left the manor station specially prepared for him by the Dutch government.

This time the German head of state came to the Netherlands not by plane, but by his head of state train.

The "American" heads-of-state train that originally belonged to Hitler finally completed the renovation project in early January. This trip was the first mission performed by the armored train after it left the repair shop. The modification project was quite huge, and it took a full three months. According to Randolph, even a bolt on it was refurbished.

The locomotive was replaced by the DRB03 series 1081, which is a model specially designed by Deutsche Bahn for high-speed express trains. It adopts an aerodynamically streamlined appearance and has a power output of 2090 horsepower and a top speed. One hundred and fifty kilometers, when towing a five-hundred-ton carriage, it can still travel at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, which is quite amazing data in the head of the same class in Europe at that time. The 52-type front of the original special train has a top speed of only 80 kilometers per hour and a power of only more than 1,500 horsepower.

The whole train, including the front of the train, has a total of 15 sections. The power unit still uses two tandem fronts, and then one armored anti-aircraft artillery carriage is mounted at the front and rear ends of the train, and each anti-aircraft artillery carriage is installed. There are two quadruple-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns. In the real history, the anti-aircraft firepower of the head of state train has never been used. Xu Jun hopes that this record will not be broken on his own side.

Behind the anti-aircraft artillery cart is a luggage cart, which is used to store the head of state and senior subordinates’ carry-on luggage. Behind the baggage cart is the head of state’s private car, with the head of state and guard’s bedroom, private office and exclusive bathroom.

Behind the head of state carriage is the command carriage, which is equipped with a conference room and radio communication room. The head of state can hold military meetings in this carriage and issue orders directly to the outside world. Behind the command carriage is the Senior Attache's carriage, which is exclusively used by the accompanying senior officials. This time Brauschich and Himmler lived in this carriage.

The dining car is behind the senior suite car. The front dining car is exclusively for the head of state and senior suites, while the ordinary suites dine in another dining car at the back, which reveals the rank difference in the army. At the back of the high-level dining car are two ordinary carriages. The first one is a rest room for officials to smoke and chat for leisure, and the back is an attached office, which is responsible for regular official duties.

Behind the office compartment is a shower compartment, which can provide hot water for bathing 24 hours a day. Behind the shower compartment is another dining car~IndoMTL.com~ Then there are two sleeper compartments with ordinary attendants and The soldiers of the Guard Flag team live in these two carriages. Finally, there are two stuffy tank trucks used to store the accompanying luggage and accompanying vehicles. An armored antiaircraft gun carriage of the same model as the front is hung at the rear.

After the Eastern Front War broke out in history, this special train was renamed the "Brandenburg". Xu Jun felt that the name "America" ​​sounds good, so there is no plan to rename it yet.

There are many benefits of taking a train. In addition to being safer and more comfortable than an airplane, you can also bring more suites and equipment. This time Xu Jun, in addition to his head of state team, also brought a group of officers from the command and army staff.

As for Himmler, this guy was stuck at the last minute, Xu Jun, seeing that he had always been loyal, immediately agreed to his request to accompany him.

In addition to the Führer’s flag guard and a platoon of armored grenadiers, Himmler’s personal guards and plainclothes agents of the General Security Bureau are also involved in the security work. Of course, these people are not eligible to squeeze into the Führer’s special train I took another train, the "Africa" ​​under the command of the command.
