Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 8: My colleagues (part 2)
Sitting next to Himmler is the leader of the 1.2 million youth of the Third Reich, Badul von Schilach, the minister of the Youth Ministry of the Third Reich. The few cadres of the top Nazi Party with aristocratic ancestry, and of course Reinhardt does.
He has a very square Germanic face and looks like a fresh graduate. Schilach started by flattering and writing nasty poems to Hitler. But this guy is indeed very smart. It is said that his IQ reached one hundred and thirty, which can be said to be a genius. However, this person has always been narrow-minded, weak-willed, and emotionally susceptible to fluctuations.
He considers himself a very romantic poet, but Goering is very uncomfortable with him, thinking he is full of femininity. On this point, Xu Jun agrees with Goring's views. Especially after he had read the poem written by Silach. I heard that this guy even painted his bedroom pure white.
This guy who claimed to have misled a generation of German youth in the Nuremberg law*, was able to escape the trial with his wonderful acting skills and a quarter of American descent.
Now the German youth leader is wearing the khaki uniform of the German Youth League and a black tie. A serious person seemed to be listening to Hitler's speech, but Xu Jun could see in his distracted eyes that this guy was taking a short run, and he didn't know what he was thinking, it wouldn't be serious anyway.
Xu Jun didn't understand at first, how could Hitler call him over. After thinking about it, I realized that Schilach really played a big role in Hitler's idol project, because he controlled the thoughts of all German youths.
The few remaining people on the opposite side are Himmler’s subordinates. Xu Jun did not see the famous European executioner Gestapo chief Reinhard Heidrich, nor Himmler’s other assistants such as the armed party. Gottlob Berger of the Guard, Theodore Ike of the Skeletons, and the like, seem to have been sent outside. And these Xu Jun didn't know them, and Jack hadn't seen them before, it seemed they were newly promoted. They are all still small roles of the district captain. They are now staring at Hitler flatteredly. Seeing them, they know that they are only excited now, and only God knows what they are listening to.
On the side where Xu Jun sits are all the heads of the military. It seems that Hitler clearly assigned him to the military group.
These officers are wearing neat uniforms with their glittering medals, maintaining a standard military posture, motionless.
Marshal Von Brauchic, commander-in-chief of the army, looked helpless, and it seemed that he regretted attending this banquet. He might have heard what Hitler was saying now a thousand times. He came from a military family and only took this position on September 1 last year. However, the commander-in-chief of the army was always timid in front of Hitler. His authority and ability in the army did not match his position. In fact, his power was still Not as good as Yordel, so he can only be regarded as a shell commander. Now of course, it is impossible to dare to have any objections to Hitler's speech delaying everyone's meal.
General Commander Jodel Artillery, the commander of the High Command, is now frowning. It seems that he has been attacked by Hitler more than once. He is an artillery, but his outstanding planning and coordinating ability made him climb up. At this position, he can now be said to be Hitler's personal chief of staff and military adviser. Although Hitler was always reluctant to follow his advice. Now the director is trying hard to pass the time by wiping his single eyes.
Marshal Keitel, Chief of Staff of the Wehrmacht Headquarters, seemed to be able to resist Hitler’s fatigue bombardment. He stared at the plate in front of him with no expression, as if he could see a steak from the inside. Come the same. Xu Jun noticed that his gray horoscope Hu seemed to be trembling slightly, and he seemed to be unable to support it.
Then he saw General Longdstedt, the commander-in-chief of Army Group A. He was supposed to be on the front line at this time in history, and Hitler should also be inspecting in his headquarters now. It seems that history has changed again for his own sake.
Ron Destedt on the surface looks like he is listening to the speech seriously. In fact, Xu Jun found that his sight has been moving back and forth between Hitler and the bread on the table. It seems that our cluster commander is also hungry. Up.
Except for these four high-ranking generals, the remaining officers are all staff officers in the command department, and the only one who survived the death was a colonel.
It seems that they were originally brought by the two chiefs of staff to attend the post-dinner military meeting. They did not expect that Hitler would be overwhelmed by the fish. Now they must regret their mistakes. Why didn’t they make a piece of bread before coming. .
At this time, with Hitler's scream of "Long live Germany", his speech was finally over.
In an instant, everyone stood up and raised their hands in salute while shouting long live.
But from Xu Jun's view, apart from Himmler, the guy is still wiping his tears, and Goebbels, he is now looking solemn and holy, and everyone else is shouting long live to be able to eat.
The delicacies were finally delivered one by one. Although it seemed to have been hot several times, everyone still ate it with relish.
Even Hitler is the same. Everyone is trying to wipe out the things on their plates, and no one can even talk. As a result, the second half of the celebration banquet went on quietly amidst strange chewing sounds.
After everyone was full of food and drink, the attendant removed the tableware and tableware, and served the brewed tea and coffee.
When everyone was content to enjoy the comfort of the meal, Hitler began to speak again.
"Everyone!"
Xu Jun's heart beats quickly.
"No way, I want to come again."
Xu Jun really frightened Hitler's long-form speeches. But this time he guessed wrong.
"Gentlemen, since the dinner is over, let's go to the meeting room now. There are still important things to discuss today."
Then Hitler stood up~IndoMTL.com~ put the napkin on the table.
Everyone immediately stood up, and then the brigade followed Hitler away from the dining table and walked towards the conference room. Only Himmler's subordinates were left at the scene. They were not eligible to participate in the meeting, so they could only salute Hitler and their boss to leave.
The conference room is at the other end of the aisle, where several military adjutants have arranged everything. This conference room is more than 40 square meters, all painted light green, the floor is covered with grass-green short-haired carpets, and there is no footsteps on it. Two huge glass chandeliers on the top illuminate the entire conference room. .On the two walls on one side hung the flags of the Nazi Party and the German Army, Navy and Air Force, with a large portrait of Hitler in the middle, and an extra-large map hung on the other. It is now covered with curtains. Xu Jun can only see through the cracks. See the densely packed place names and river roads above. The remaining two walls are empty. There are only two rows of seats on the side of the wall. Those seats are reserved for those who are in the audience. Because this meeting is very important, no one is allowed to participate in the audience. The rows of chairs are empty there.
In the middle is Zhang Shuoda’s conference table. The lieutenants put a document on everyone’s seat, which seems to be the topic to be discussed today.
After everyone was seated, the two orderly men served tea and coffee.
At this time, a military adjutant opened the curtain covering the huge map and stepped aside. Another military adjutant took a notebook and sat on a side seat and began to prepare for the meeting minutes.
Hitler first glanced at the people present, then opened the file in front of him.
