Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 7: My colleagues (part one)
As soon as he opened the office door, Xu Jun was stunned by the sight in front of him.
Jack is a collector, Xu Jun knows. He likes to make the office gorgeous, and Xu Jun knows it too. Xu Jun also saw this luxurious office in his memory. But when he really stood in this office, Xu Jun realized that it was more luxurious and shocking than in memory.
I saw that although this office was the same size as Hitler's, it was decorated like a palace. To put it more clearly, it was a storage room in the palace.
A full set of ivory white office furniture from the Louis XIV period, each corner is inlaid with exquisite gilt bronze lace. The pure white wool carpet is embroidered with purple rosettes. The four walls are covered with gorgeous bronzing wallpaper. A large crystal chandelier with a full diameter of one meter hangs on the top. There are several exquisite oil paintings on the wall on the left, all of which are portraits of Raphael. This was a priceless treasure even in 1940.
There are three shiny armors placed against the wall. The silver-plated surface is free of blemishes and scars, and the craftsmanship has reached the point of perfection. Judging from the style of the helmet and the gold coat of arms inlaid on the breastplate, it should belong to the Polish royal family. On the wall next to the armor hangs a row of medieval weapons, all inlaid with gold and silver. Xu Jun didn't understand how such a dumb guy would think of collecting armor and weapons. There are also several marble statues in the corner, which should be works from the Roman era. I don't know how much effort it took the German soldiers to get them in.
Other exquisite porcelains and handicrafts are everywhere. Among these things, Xu Jun even recognized a few official kiln porcelains from China.
"National treasures! All national treasures!"
Seeing so many cultural relics, Xu Jun was so excited that he passed out. He looked at this for a while, then touched that again, completely immersed in these exquisite cultural relics and crafts, forgetting time and everything.
Just as Xu Jun was carefully identifying the origin of a blue and white sea bowl, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Xu Jun reluctantly put down the bowl. Then Ruhr opened the door and walked in, he said to Xu Jun
"Your Excellency, Deputy Head of State, the Head of State has asked me to invite you to the restaurant."
"Okay, let's go."
Xu Jun put on the military cap placed on the table, and under the leadership of Ruhr, walked towards the restaurant.
The banquet in the restaurant has been set up. Hitler was sitting at one end of a long table covered with snow-white tablecloths. The generals and Nazi officials were sitting on both sides, they were talking loudly and laughing.
There are beautiful flowers and shiny silver tableware on the table, the freshly baked bread exudes a tempting aroma in the bread basket, and the fresh butter gleams in the small silver plate.
Xu Jun walked into the restaurant, everyone stood up under Hitler's leadership, and then began to applaud warmly. Xu Jun quickly walked to the table and greeted Hitler. Then I expressed my heartfelt thanks to my colleagues for being so warmly welcomed. Hitler had left him a seat closest to him. Everyone sat down at Hitler's greeting.
After everyone was seated, Hitler glanced sharply at the subordinates on both sides, stood up and began to speak. He first expressed his gratification and welcome to Xu Jun’s safe return, and then he began to talk about how important and great Xu Jun’s victory was, and how difficult and arrogant Xu Jun’s battle was. He touts how superb Xu Jun's military talents are and how persevering his spirit is.
Originally, he could ask the chef to serve the food and start eating as soon as he finished speaking, but no one expected that his speech was about to end, but his topic suddenly began to turn towards those The old European strategy, Germany's revival, and racial pros and cons, etc. have been transferred. The brief welcome speech turned into a long speech. The poor elites of the empire had no choice but to continue accepting this terrifying fatigue bombardment hungry.
Xu Jun started to look at the other people present when Hitler started speaking. After reading it, he took a breath in his heart. As expected, half of the senior leaders of the Third Reich were here.
The former Ruhr told him on his way to the restaurant that Hitler had specially recruited these Nazi party cadres from Berlin last night in the name of the Nazi party meeting. It seems that Hitler really spared no effort to create some momentum for his army idol plan.
The first thing Xu Jun saw was Goring sitting across from him. Goring hadn't gained much weight in 1940, and now he can only be said to be burly, but he has clearly begun to develop in that direction. the trend of. Goring was wearing a white air marshal's gown, without any medals on his chest, only a pilot badge embroidered with gold thread, with the Blue Marcos medal he won on June 2, 1918 on his neckline. It was a beautiful cross-shaped medal, which was awarded to him in recognition of his outstanding military exploits at one stop, and he always carried it. And his beautiful red marshal's scepter was placed on the table on his right. When Goring saw Xu Jun looking at him, he immediately turned his face away, without even looking at Xu Jun.
Xu Jun knew that Jack and Goering had a very good relationship before, but after Hitler came to power, the two talents began to quarrel because of the competition in various budget resources and wealth, and because of the unpleasant things that happened in several regular meetings, now the two People have reached the point where water and fire are incompatible.
Sitting next to Goering is the Minister of National Education and Propaganda of the Third Reich, Goebbels, a shrewd and capable guy, Hitler’s most powerful tongue, half of all Third Reich propaganda manuscripts are from him Handwriting. He was a fanatical admirer of Hitler, and it took ten years from a Nazi tabloid editor to rely on his fanatical praise of Hitler to climb to his current position. But Hitler may also value him because he is one of the only two strong men in the Nazi Party who can listen to his eloquent speeches for days without getting sleepy.
This thin doctor of literature sat next to the burly Goring, and the two formed a sharp contrast, like a funny group. Goebbels was wearing a gray suit and a thin black tie. When Goebbels found Xu Jun was looking at him, he smiled and nodded to Xu Jun. Due to Jack's position and status, Goebbels has always maintained close contact with him, and the two have a good personal relationship. Jack even went to his home to be a guest and eat a few casual meals.
Sitting next to our thin propaganda minister is the other of the two strong men mentioned earlier. Heinrich, the infamous national leader of the SS. Himmler.
Now this guy with the title of "honor", the biggest executioner in Germany in World War II, the **** butcher, etc., is listening to Hitler's speech with gusto~ IndoMTL.com~ He was so focused that he didn't even blink his eyes. Xu Jun admired the five-body cast.
Heinrich at the time. Himmler's loyalty to Hitler can be said to be unmatched. He fanatically loved the head of state, even to the point of pathology. Anything Hitler said would be regarded as truth by him, and anyone who slandered or wanted to oppose Hitler would be ruthlessly eliminated by him. Hitler once said Heinrich. Himmler is the person he trusts the most, because if Hitler wants him to kill his grandmother, or kill all the men who have died in the country, or all the people with "A" or "D" in their names in the country, hope Mullay would definitely not ask, and did so without hesitation.
The SS captain, who was a chicken breeder, wore his black SS uniform, with the same hairstyle as Hitler, and a pair of fine silver-rimmed glasses. He stared at him motionlessly. The spitting head of state, his eyes flashed with admiration. It seemed that Xu Jun would not pay attention even if he stood directly in front of him.
But his relationship with Jack is closer than Jack's relationship with Goebbels. One is because Jack's status as deputy head of state is also his idol. The second is for two people to have a common enemy, Goering. Goering has always looked down on Himmler, who was a chicken farmer, and this has made Himmler always worried about Goering. The third is because the two people are the same ruthlessly, especially when they treat the Jews.
Because of the above three, the two regard each other as confidantes, so they almost cut their heads and burned yellow paper to become brothers.
