Battle of the Third Reich
v4 Chapter 18: Puzzle (on)
"I'm glad to see you again. The commander-in-chief sent me to convey your order to be promoted. My Marshal Master." The man sitting on the sofa stood up and bowed to Xu Jun respectfully.
"I really didn't expect that the headquarters would send you to convey this order. It's so happy to see you. My chief of staff. Ha ha ha ha." Xu Jun smiled back to the other with a military salute.
"Are you happy? My Field Marshal. I don't think so. Since you walked into this office, you haven't made me feel that you have any emotions. I can see that you are very upset. Consider not to disturb you. So I didn’t say anything. It seems that you are indeed in a great trouble. You have only discovered my existence until now." Weirler, chief of staff of the "Cyprus" army, said with a smile.
"Haha, you're really kidding. I don't have any trouble seeing you, because I believe you can answer all my doubts for me. It seems that you also got a little benefit in this matter. Haha, this military uniform. It suits you very well." Xu Jun looked at the gold silk insignia of his chief of staff.
"Haha, Lord Marshal. I did bring you the news you want to know. I believe you will be satisfied with the information I brought. But can we sit down and talk, I have sat for four consecutive times Five hours of the plane, even the waist was almost turned upside down." Weierle said with a smile.
"Oh, you see I really didn't pay attention. Quickly, we went to the small living room, where it was quiet and comfortable." Xu Jun took Weierle's arm enthusiastically and led his chief of staff toward the little boy near the office. Go to the living room.
"General, oh no, Lord Marshal." At this moment Hans walked in and walked in, holding Marshal Xu Jun's uniform and scepter in his hand. When he saw the scene in the room, he couldn't help but stunned. "Chief of Weirler? Why are you here?"
"Haha, Hans, you happened to be here. You asked the serviceman to make us a pot of coffee." Xu Jun said to Hans with a smile.
"Yes, my marshal. Those...you see where to put it first." Hans raised his hand.
"Place it on the sofa first, haha, I'll change it later."
"Follow the order, Lord Marshal." Hans found Xu Jun's good mood came back. Although he didn't know why, he was very happy about it.
"By the way, Hans, come back after you have arranged the work at hand. I have something to tell you." Weiler stopped Hans, who was leaving, and squeezed him mysteriously. eye.
"Yes, Lord General." Hans was a little surprised to see Wehrler's general uniform, but he nodded politely and turned to exit the door.
"Hans is an excellent soldier. Although he is a little simpler than those of us, he is still a very powerful man." Xu Jun said with a smile.
"But simplicity is not a bad thing. This is the quality that a soldier should have. People like us have already fallen. Seeing Hans reminds me of myself when I was young. At that time, I did anything. It’s all done with a simple belief. It’s really impressive to think about it. My Marshal.”
Weierle and Xu Jun walked into the small living room and sat on the side of the overly gorgeous coffee table. Xu Jun looked at the chief of staff in front of him, filled with anticipation and joy.
When Weierle first walked into Xu Jun's field of vision, the battle of Dunkerque had not yet started, in order to help Xu Jun realize his battle plan. General Kettle, the chief of staff of the headquarters, gave him and a group of other staff members Xu Jun. Because he didn't know much about Wehrler's identity, Xu Jun initially kept a certain distance from him. Because Weierle had been working under Hitler's hands, Xu Jun couldn't trust him completely. But after a few days of contact, Xu Jun's perception of Weiller completely changed. This is a very serious staff officer. Xu Jun is very satisfied with his professionalism and working ability. Although Weierle's tactics and strategy were somewhat conservative, he could not conceal the staff member's excellent organization and planning capabilities. Thanks to the efforts of him and those staff, Xu Jun's ideas and plans can be implemented in the most precise and efficient way. It can be said that he played a very important role in the final victory of Xu Jun's battle. He exchanged his excellent ability for Xu Jun's favor, and only after Xu Jun knew his true identity, he gained Xu Jun's true trust, he was a "priest".
After Jack arranged the "bishops" he had rescued into key government departments, the "bishops" did not wait for their masters to give orders except to find ways to gain control of their own departments. From the moment they have power, they have begun to find more followers for their masters. Of course, this selection is very confidential and strict. Any candidate that the "bishop" sees must be tested and rigorously investigated by more than ten "bishops" before he can be approved for development. At first, those people were only allowed to enter the surrounding organizations, and they were called "believers." It was only after some of them did show that they possessed sufficient abilities and absolute loyalty before they were allowed to enter the organization. These people who are absorbed into the interior are called "priests".
And Weierle is one of the best "priests". When Xu Jun received a report from a "bishop" under him to confirm the identity of Weiller, he knew that there was such a thing. However, neither Xu Jun nor Weiler wanted to uncover this veil. But after this, in the eyes of others, the cooperation between Weierle and Xu Jun began to become more and more tacit. Everyone thinks this may be the relationship between the two people staying together for a long time. No one goes anywhere else. To doubt the connection between the two.
Weierle is in charge of the detailed examination of military plans in the headquarters, so he has contact and contact with all the senior officers in the headquarters and the commanders of all branches of the German Defense Force. For this he also became Martin. Borman, the messenger who communicated with the generals of the Wehrmacht, became a Martin because of the diversity of his intelligence sources and the confidentiality of the intelligence he had access to. One of Bolman's henchmen. He must have brought the latest trend of the headquarters now, and he must have brought Martin to himself. Borman gave himself news and intelligence. This is what Xu Jun wants to know most now. The information from the "bishops" alone cannot allow him to accurately understand the overall situation of the current development. Only the information obtained from the core of the headquarters can be Give yourself the most detailed understanding of Hitler’s countermeasures so that you can make the next correct decision.
"Weirle, wasn't the weather good when we came?" Xu Jun asked with a smile.
"Yeah, it's terrible. The **** airflow made my plane jerky like a torpedo boat charging. I almost vomited at the time." Weierle also replied with a smile.
"That's really hard work for you. How is the situation of the Legion before you leave." Xu Jun asked lightly.
"The entire army is still basking in the sun at Dunkel. All the soldiers are on vacation. When I was called back to the headquarters, the boys were enthusiastically learning how to use large-caliber artillery to fish." "Cyprus", Weierle's face is full of proud smile.
"Ah? That's it. Do they still maintain their fighting power? Won't they become lazy."
"Of course not. Their daily training is still as hard as when you were. Those deputy officers have fully entered their roles. I believe that in a short time, you will get a batch of excellent commanding officers. , But that’s what I’m worried about too, and I’ve slowly reached out to your legion.” Weirler's face flashed with a touch of worry.
"I just wanted to ask you this. Why did the head of state promote me to marshal? Is there any conspiracy? I just turned his Poland upside down and killed a large number of his appreciated officials. It justified him. It should be very angry. There must be a reason for him to do this now." Xu Jun finally turned his words to the point. The thing he doesn't understand now is this. He hopes that Weiler will give him a definite answer.
At this time, the glass door of the small living room was lightly knocked, and I only heard Hans report outside the door: "Marshal, the coffee you want."
"Oh, come in quickly, Hans." Xu Jun said loudly.
Hans pushed open the door and came in with a tray full of coffee pots and cups. He put the tray on the coffee table and poured Xu Jun and Weierle a cup of coffee, then stood quietly in Xu. On the edge.
"Haha, Hans, this kind of thing can be done by the soldiers, how can you do these things yourself." Weierle said to Hans with a smile.
"It's okay, I think you and the marshal must have very important things to talk about. It may not be convenient to have a serviceman present, so I will come by myself. Oh, General, you said something to me before, what is it? Ah." Hans looked at Wehrler in doubt.
"It's nothing important. I didn't expect that I was so lucky to be able to drink a cup of coffee poured by a general." Weyler smiled and picked up the coffee cup in front of him.
"General!" Xu Jun and Hans both screamed in surprise. Xu Jun's face was full of joy, and Hans' face was full of unbelievable expressions.
"Yes, Brigadier General Hans. You have been promoted to Brigadier General. Your appointment letter and new uniform are placed in a suitcase next to the outer sofa. You can go and see for yourself. I'm sorry I concealed you until now. , I just want to see the expression you have now. Ha ha ha ha." After that, Weierle sat there with a coffee and smiled.
"This time, the headquarters has spent a lot of money, and it has promoted three Brigadier Generals. This is a gesture of the Army Department to you, and the meaning contained in it I think you can understand it." Weiler turned his head to face Xu Jun said.
"Hans, you try your new uniform, and then go a few laps in front of Mueller to make that guy don't be too proud." Xu Jun didn't answer Weiller's words, he turned to smile and said to Hans To.
"Follow the order, Lord Marshal." Hans was alert to Xu Jun's meaning. He knew that Xu Jun's and Weiler's next conversation would be very confidential and the commander didn't want to be present, so he nodded quickly and smiled. Then he replied: "Marshal, I really want to try my uniform. Then I will go out." Then he nodded to Weiller and turned to walk out of the small living room and gently took the door.
"It's a smart man, my marshal. Don't you trust him yet." Weiler asked softly.
"No, I trust him very much, but I don't want him to get involved in this matter too deeply, which is not good for his future development." Xu Jun shook his head and said.
"Oh, it seems that I think too much. What you said really makes sense. It is a lucky thing to be a subordinate who is a leader who cares for your men like you."
"Don’t talk about that. How come the command headquarters sent you this time, don’t you think the scale of the promotion is too different from the form it takes? I don’t expect the head of state to come and give us a title, but like this The promotion ceremony for a marshal and three generals should be at least a group of marshals or generals, and now you don’t think it’s too much of a play for you?” Xu Jun asked, looking at Weirler with his coffee in doubt.
"Marshal, you hit the point of the problem all at once, which is the most critical point of this matter." Weierle said to Xu Jun seriously: "If you want to explain these clearly, I really don't know from Where to start. I think I will tell you from the beginning."
"Okay, hurry up. Don't miss every detail." Xu Jun answered urgently.
"That's the day after you arrived in Warsaw to engage in the major cleansing. When the head of state received a detailed report on this matter from the Imperial Security Bureau, he was furious. He immediately summoned all the senior officials in the headquarters to meet. Because the meeting was classified as top secret, I did not participate, but I still knew some of the situation at the meeting from the mouth of the generals.
The head of state was mad at the time. He clapped the table and called you a traitor and a conspirator. He then requested that you be arrested and taken to Berlin for interrogation. But his request was opposed by all the participants at that time, and they all urged him to dispel the idea. They analyzed all the reasons why they could not fight against you. The biggest one is that everyone you executed has definite evidence to prove that they are dead or innocent. If you make an arrest, spreading it will have a huge impact on his reputation and even the reputation of the entire Nazi Party, especially if you have an unparalleled reputation in the German Wehrmacht, if you take any action against you, it will give the German country stability and Safety causes very serious damage.
After their persuasion, he finally dismissed the idea. But because the generals of the headquarters at that time might have said something that was not satisfactory to him, the result was a very serious situation. At that time General Kettle told me that from the eyes of the head of state he felt a danger, a very great danger. The other generals felt the same way, but it was too late when they wanted to make up for their mistakes. They knew that because of your relationship, they had been listed by the head of the enemy. went.
So from then on, the generals of the headquarters decided to stand completely behind you. Those generals knew that only you can keep them, and they could keep them and the army. They knew that only you could now fight against the head of state. Originally they were prepared to maintain a neutral and wait-and-see attitude on this matter, but now it seems impossible, they simply stand firmly on your side, they also see that you are preparing to do a big job this time, These generals feel that following you may allow them to use their abilities more than following the head of state. "Speaking of which, Weierle took a sip of coffee.
"You mean that the army has now completely confronted the head of state, which is impossible." Xu Jun asked suspiciously. "This kind of thing can't convince me."
