Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 47: The decisive battle is coming
"Gentlemen, I think I’m going to stay away for a while. You can first discuss the feasibility and details of the tactics I mentioned earlier. If you find any problems and loopholes, you can sort them out first, and wait. I'll continue the discussion when I come back later."
Xu Jun faintly spoke to the generals and staff who stood around him looking at each other, and then he turned to his two most important subordinates.
"Von. Marshal Brausic, Marshal Keitel, come with me."
Then he turned around and took Hans out of the meeting room in a stride. The former commander-in-chief of the army and the former commander-in-chief of general staff looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
Xu Jun led the group back to his temporary office. When everyone entered the room, he gave the guard at the door an order that no one could approach without his permission.
"Now we can say, Hans. What news have we received from that man." Xu Jun asked the two marshals to Hans after sitting down on the sofa.
"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal."
Hans respectfully nodded to the three marshals sitting there, then took out two official documents from the folder and handed them to Xu Jun. Xu Jun took the file and handed it to Brausic and Keitel first without looking at it. Xu Jun's attitude of trust made the two field marshals feel a little flattered for a while, and they quickly took the file and read it carefully.
"My marshal. This document was intercepted just two hours ago. We identified from the password it used that it was sent from the Führer’s temporary base camp, and the recipient was the head of the Imperial Security Bureau Rhein Hart Heydrich. We immediately deciphered it, but it was divided into three parts and sent out, and each part was sent half an hour apart, which took us a lot of time to get the complete From its cautious attitude and the level of confidentiality of the deciphered content, this document is true."
Hans spoke respectfully, standing in front of the sofa. Although he is now a brigadier general, in front of the field marshal, he still dare not slack off, let alone one of his direct officers.
"You have already analyzed it, tell me what you see from it."
while talking to Hans Xu Jun, he picked up a beautifully carved oak humidor from the coffee table in front of him. He took out a cigar from it, and then handed the humidor to the two marshals beside him. Brausic quickly put down the papers and took one from the cigar box, while Keitel smiled and shook his head and refused. The Chief of Staff took out his silver cigarette box from the military uniform pocket on his chest.
"I found this from a captive British cruiser. The first-class South American goods are much better than the inferior Egyptian goods." Xu Jun picked up the cigar cutter on the table and cut off the cigar. Tobacco, then handed the cigar cutter to Stretcher.
In another time and space when he was in school, Xu Jun had already learned to smoke, but at that time he only used cigarettes to refresh himself, and he had no addiction to smoking. But now that two days of hard work on the Devonshire has made him interested in cigars, especially the high-quality cigars. Now when he encounters a situation that he thinks may require brainpower, he will light one, not for enjoyment, but he feels that smelling the aromatic tobacco will make his thinking more active.
"Really, I don't even smoke cigarettes now. You know that man hates smoking by people around him. And now it is difficult to get good cigars in China." Brausic leaned forward from Hans The cigar was lit on the lighter in his hand, and the old guy first took a strong sip, and then let out a long puff of smoke with satisfaction.
"This is indeed the case. Domestic luxury goods have always been in short supply. Even the low-level officers have only one or two more smoked pork legs on the table than ordinary citizens. If this war does not end soon, I don’t know. We can hold on for a few months. Every day, the troops will consume astronomical supplies. If we still cannot benefit from the occupied areas, these consumption alone will be enough to bring down Germany alive. It's really a terrifying consumable unit. Food, ammunition, clothing, medicine, fuel, parts, etc.... The staff of the logistics department have been driven crazy by numbers." The chief of staff lighted himself Of cigarettes, he said with a sigh while looking at the file in his hand.
"My marshal, your commander-in-chief, your chief of staff, our intelligence analysis department has already analyzed this document. We can now see that person's next action plan from it. The most important thing is us Finally we can know the correct position of the person and which direction he is going to move. And we also know what kind of conspiracy he is going to carry out." Hans waited until the marshals stopped the conversation and began to answer Xu Jun's previous question.
The two marshals exchanged the documents that each other had looked at in front of each other. They also saw some problems in the documents now, and both of them started to look serious.
"Go on." Xu Jun turned to look at the expressions of the two marshals and said to Hans.
"Yes, my marshal. Although his exact location is not marked in the file flashing, we have analyzed the delivery route he requested for supplies and found that he should be near Labase now. We are not yet I know how he got there. There is no garrison. There is only a SS squad stationed there to guard the seized industrial supplies. And we have never conducted aerial reconnaissance there, so he was there. The probability is very high. I really don’t know how he bypassed our security forces and got under our noses. His guide must be a loophole expert. All of our analysts admire this very much. But now Now that he has exposed his position, it will be easy to grasp his whereabouts in the future."
"Labace..." Brausic finished reading the document, and he handed it to Xu Jun. The commander-in-chief of the army took a sharp sip of the cigar, and he recalled the place name desperately in his mind.
"It's a small city northwest of Lis, about eighty kilometers away from Lis." The chief of staff also finished reading the documents, and he frowned while holding his cigarette.
"Liz? Now the headquarters of Army Group A is still in Liz." Stretcher finally remembered that place.
"Yes, your commander-in-chief. The headquarters of the Army Group A is still stationed in Lis. Since the arrest of General Rondstedt and his subordinates, the headquarters of the Army Group has never moved. "Speaking of Hans interface.
"We are almost certain that this person must have gone for Liz. There is no senior officer in the Command of the Army Group A now, and it is now controlled by the agents dispatched by Heydrich. There is no officer’s authority to fight against him. As long as that person gets there, he can justifiably control the command of Army Group A. Since the command of the Army Command has not been cancelled, the subordinate units must obey the command of the Command. . So by that time, Army Group A will have no reason to defy his orders. If you defy his orders, it would be a blatant rebellion. I think the commanders of Army Group A do not have the courage and mentality to do so. Preparation. However, our Dunkirk Battle Command has not been cancelled due to confusion. We can also use our command to control several armored clusters and some infantry divisions of Army Group A, but I don’t know. How long can we fight him in that situation," Hans said seriously.
"Don't worry about this, dear Hans." Keitel comforted calmly.
"The man has no ability to mobilize any troops. Let alone whether he can master the headquarters of Army Group A, it is not enough to rely on his current manpower to operate a Command of Army Group. He at least still It takes a week to understand the operation of a command, which is completely different from the operation of the command. If he does not understand, then he may not even be able to issue a basic simple order. And the subordinate units of Army Group A The commanders have expressed their support to us, and their previous performances have clearly expressed this. I think even if that person controls the command, his orders may be delayed until the next century. .
More importantly, now the supply power of the German Army is in the hands of His Excellency Reinhardt. If any unit is shaken, we can also use the supply to kill it. No matter what measures we take against the betrayal unit, we All commanders of the Headquarters and War Department will support it. "
" Keitel is right. But I am really worried. Kleist and Guderian are fine, and Hult can be trusted. But Reinhardt is a little vacillating. He has always been in the middle. There are also Lesker and Hasengel. Their performance is obviously following the trend, which makes people feel a little unreliable. Baker of Army Group B and Loeb of Army Group C now say that they will stand firmly on our side. But this is also due to seeing Rondstedt's end. I am not sure whether they will be bought back by that person. You must know that that person's buying ability is very strong."
Brausic said anxiously, he might have thought about how he was bought by Hitler back then. Two hundred and fifty thousand marks almost bought his dignity as a soldier. Now think about him really blushing for his stupid behavior. But now it's finally well. Reinhardt gave him hope and rekindled his already cold blood. The commander-in-chief of the army is determined to use his efforts and performance under the leadership of this apostle to take him back. For the dignity of a soldier.
"Don't worry about everything, my eyes have been watching them." Xu Jun flipped through the document, and he said lightly.
Hearing Xu Jun's words, the hearts of the two marshals trembled violently. They remembered the all-pervasive "bishop" legion of the deputy head. This is indeed the case. How could this apostle’s minions let go of the important department of the army? Now think about this person must have placed his cronies next to every important general in the army, and think that he may also have a pair of cold people behind him. Looking at them with their eyes constantly, the two marshals couldn't help feeling a little chill in their backs, and cold sweat immediately emerged from their foreheads.
"The two marshals don’t have to worry, I’m not bored enough to put my side by your side. I only put eyeliner around people I can’t see and those I don’t know very well, mainly to prevent them from doing damage The behavior of German interests. And you generals who are full of love and loyalty to Germany are full of trust. If you are not trustworthy, who else can I trust." Xu Jun put down the documents in his hand and smiled Speaking to the two marshals.
"We are very grateful for your trust in us, I believe you will not be disappointed." Keitel pinched out the cigarette butt, he said while taking out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, from Xu Jun's eyes Here he saw a sincere sign, and the chief of staff was finally relieved.
Brausic has a different feeling. He completely believes Xu Jun’s words. He is a little bit complacent besides being touched. In any case, he has finally gained the trust of the superior, although this Has not yet climbed to the position of true mastery.
"I now know his location, his schedule. And I also know what he wants to do." Xu Jun stopped to take a cigarette, he slowly exhaled the smoke and then placed the cigar on the ashes On the cylinder.
Xu Jun picked up the document again and said: "The most critical question now is how we should deal with this situation. I personally think that the game should be over. We must now be in that person Dali He solved this last problem before."
"Do you mean to destroy it by force?" Keitel asked in a trembling voice. The trembling voice was not because he was afraid but because he was excited. He had discussed this issue privately with several marshals and generals, and his opinion was the same as Brausic, which was to completely wipe that person off the earth, both physically and mentally.
The views of those marshals and generals are different. Some people think that assassinating a head of state is always an act of dishonor. They think that life imprisonment is perfect. Some people think that he is still being raised, and then threatened the emperor to make the princes. This guy obviously has seen too much Chinese history. The most ridiculous person also suggested that the man should be exiled to an island, just like Napoleon, but he was scolded by all the generals with a dog-blood spray. There are no islands in the German territorial waters. Is it because he sent him a navy to occupy it? If an island fails, it is better to simply be exiled to Britain.
As a result, the imaginative generals did not reach any consensus. In the end, everyone had to agree on how to deal with Hitler's problem and left it to the deputy head of state to decide. Because someone reminded these generals that this is not a question they should consider, their own opinions here might also arouse disgust from the deputy head of state. As a result, Hitler's "final settlement" issue was put on hold, and no one went to discuss this issue because it might be a "foul", no matter which side won.
"I think that person should indeed be completely wiped out. If that person is still alive, it will cause us endless trouble." Brausic vigorously encouraged, he really suffered too much from Hitler. I'm so angry.
"Then what do you think we should do, and who can we leave this to do." Xu Jun looked at the two excited marshals and asked.
"We can carry out a raid. I believe that as long as one member of the regiment is enough, his current guard should not be strong. Can you choose this person? This person must be absolutely loyal to you and have the ability to adapt to changes. He There needs to be enough power to deal with some thorny issues on the spot. I see... How about letting my adjutant General Griffin go, he is the most reliable and capable officer I have ever seen." Brausic said To.
"Although Griffin is capable, but his ability to adapt to changes, I can't respect it~IndoMTL.com~ I think it is better to let the deputy head of state directly subordinates. First, the abilities of his men are obvious to all. Second, their loyalty is unparalleled. Third, they can keep secrets. You must know that no matter how elite the army is, it is difficult to keep secrets. Only the direct army of the Deputy Head of State is the most reliable and safest. "After talking, Keitel lit another cigarette.
"I think so too." Xu Jun has a deeper understanding of Keitel's abilities. This commander of the general staff still has two brushes.
"I decided that this matter should be done by my people, and I will personally direct this action."
"How can this be done? You can just let your hands do this kind of thing. In case of any accident, it will not be worth the loss." Keitel heard Xu Jun want to go out in person and hurriedly objected loudly.
"No, although all this is for the future of Germany, in the final analysis it is still a problem between me and him, so when this matter is finally over, I must be present. I have to solve this matter by myself, which is also right The last respect of this person. You only need to work out an action plan with my staff." Xu Jun dismissed the chief of staff's objection in a categorical tone.
He stood up and walked to the office window, looking at the burning sunset in the distance, and whispered: "Adolf. Hitler, your history will end with me. To thank me for saving you from that ugly ending If you are rescued, please feel free to hand over Germany to me. I have seen through all the hole cards in this game, and I also know how to play this game. I will not make the mistakes you made before, so I It is impossible to fail."
