Battle of the Third Reich
v5 Chapter 31: Old friend (below)
"Dougan!" Weierle shouted loudly: "Colonel Dougan!"
"what's up!"
Dougan, who was burning in anger, turned his head and glared at Weierle, his tone imbued with impatience.
Dougan was already on the verge of exploding at this time, completely losing his usual calmness like a machine, and now he just wanted to open a hole in the head of the shameless traitor in front of him.
But when Dougan turned his face to see Weiller's expression, his high anger suddenly collapsed like an avalanche, and turned into a stream of cold sweat flowing out of the body.
Weierle's cold eyes made the strong Dougan shudder, and with the hard and serious expression of the rock, the angry SS colonel suddenly felt like he was suddenly poured by a pot of cold water on his head.
Dogen came awake, and he suddenly realized that his current behavior was a bit too presumptuous. He looked at Weierle awkwardly, then turned his head and glared fiercely now looking at his Kanaris with a glass indifferently, and slowly inserted the half-drawn pistol back into his waist leather. In the holster.
"Colonel Dougan, what do you want to do, sit down and let him finish talking."
Weyler regained that serene expression, and he picked up the bottle on the table and added a little wine to the can of Dougan.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I'm sick." Dougan quickly returned to his seat, and he nodded respectfully to Wehrler.
"Okay, maybe it’s a relationship of alcohol. You need to exercise your alcohol. Colonel Dougan, drink the wine from your glass. Before that, let’s listen to how General Canaris defends his behavior. ."
Seeing Dougan's unhappy and helpless look, but still honestly picked up the tin box in front of him, Weierle couldn't help but smiled slightly, then turned his attention to Canaris.
"Let's talk, William, where did everything you do safeguard German interests, and how did you save Germany."
"It's a pity, I thought this SS colonel who was full of killings would give me a shot. His luck was really good, and a smart person like you helped him. Huh, if you let him The master knew that if he died so happily because of his impulsiveness, he wouldn't let him go. It's a pity..." Kanaris slowly lowered his glass, his eyes squinting provocatively at Dogen. Said.
"Canaris... Kanaris..."
Weierle slowly shook his head and said, "I remember telling you just now..."
"Got it, I'm sorry, I apologize!" Kanaris said quickly, shaking his hand.
"Okay, put away your bitter tongue, I didn’t come to hear you complain, I came here to find you to find an answer, I want to know why my most trusted and respected friend once betrayed himself motherland."
"Betrayal?" Kanaris dropped the glass indignantly.
"I said, I didn't betray Germany. Everything I did was to defend her."
"Your assistant all confessed, what's his name, Hans. Colonel Aosta, right. He is the liaison between you and the rebel group, he took part in most of the activities of the rebel group, including you All transactions with German enemies.
Admiral Canaris, you have chosen a very reliable subordinate. In the interrogation room of the Zhongyāng Security Department, he only insisted for fifteen minutes, and then he chose his allegiance to His Excellency very wisely. He had said everything he knew, a full 143-page confession.
Coupled with what was found in the safe in your office and the mezzanine in your residence, it is enough for you to be executed fifty times for treason and conspiracy to subvert. "
Dougan was now flushed, and he said coldly with a smug look.
"Well, I know all of this, Han Stupid, this is the only mistake I made. I should have known that anyone can't be trusted."
Kanaris smiled and shook his head bitterly. Then he looked down at Weierle's eyes and said seriously: "Weirler, do you want to know why I do those things? I can tell you, but please first To answer my question, do you think Germany can win the final victory in this war?"
"Of course we can, under the leadership of the head of state we will be able to win the final victory!" Dougan shouted loudly, and after that he uttered a loud hiccup.
"I didn't ask you, you SS drunkard, I never expected to get other answers from your dumbfounded head."
"Calm down, continue to drink your wine, Colonel Dogen, try this caviar."
Weirler held down the Dougan he wanted to pick up. He picked up the bottle and filled it with whiskey, and then placed the canned caviar in front of Dougan.
"Canaris, I cannot answer your question now. I can only say that according to the current situation, we may win a lot."
Weierle groaned for a while and then spoke slowly.
"Yeah, it seems that you are also blinded by the superficial phenomenon, Weierle."
Canaris inserted a piece of bacon into his mouth, and while chewing, he continued: Hitler is a lunatic, and I remember you agree with this. On the day we attacked Poland, I saw his crazy side. He was completely mad, screaming at me in the office like a wild beast, and constantly talking to me about his theories. "
Canaris swallowed the food in his mouth and took a drink from the glass.
"We all know how serious the consequences of Germany’s renewed war will be, and this man is so obsessed with war. It was only then that I felt how much deviation I had in the views of the National Socialist Party. I understood this at the time. Man and his party will surely push Germany into boundless hell, and Germany will be destroyed by this crazy man."
Kanaris said that he had a look at Weierle here, and he wanted to find some recognition on the other side's face. As a result, he was disappointed. Weiller didn't respond to his words, but just tasted wine slowly there.
Kanaris turned to look at Dougan, only to find that Dougan did not show the anger he had expected, and now the SS had corrected the luck of that tin of whiskey.
Feeling a bit frustrated, Kanaris scratched his nose. He took a sip of embarrassment and continued: "I found that I should re-examine the true face of the National Socialist Party. I did a lot of investigations. I was scared by my findings. By the way, Germany is slowly integrating with the National Socialist Party. That man controlled the entire Germany in this way. No one can oppose him. No one dares to resist his rule except a small group of brave and upright people. "
"Integrity and bravery? Admiral Canaris... Most of them have become spies in other countries. I never thought that Germans willing to be foreign spies can also be regarded as upright and brave. The traitor who betrayed his country and nation with a cold arrow behind his back..." said Dougan ferociously, and took a can of the tin and took a sip of wine.
"Whatever you say, this question is too complicated for the brains of your SS players."
Kanaris glanced at Dougan contemptuously and continued: "Weirler, you know the danger of war, we can't defeat all the enemies. Although we have obtained very rich results, we will also save these results. In the quagmire of war, and I dare to guarantee that we will sink deeper and deeper, until we exhaust all of our strength, which you will not see.
Although we won the victory temporarily, this victory will never last. Germany’s resources are scarce, a large amount of strategic materials need to be imported from abroad, and our military resources cannot support the war for a long time. Our national strength has not been publicized by the National Socialist Party. So powerful.
Our weapons are not much advanced than the enemy. We are seriously lacking in naval power. Our air force is directed by an idiot cāo, and our head of state is a lunatic. . . .
What does this mean? This means that Germany will be slowly burned down by the madman’s war. Our 20 years of hard work and efforts for the revival of Germany will be lost due to the crazy ambitions of the National Socialist Party. Germany It may also be completely destroyed for this. "
Kanaris took a long breath after saying this. He looked at Weiler and continued, "So, I must prevent these things from happening. I contacted the rebels, and they all hold the same It is necessary to liberate Germany from the ruling of the National Socialist Party and to overthrow that lunatic government. No matter what means is used, it is okay to let Germany temporarily suffer some losses, which is much better than the total destruction of Germany.
We can rebuild the government and re-establish order. We can get help and support from those allies. Germany will be able to return to the ranks of European powers. I look forward to that day. "
"So you fell towards us when the head of state confronted Hitler." Weierle asked slowly.
"Yes, this is an opportunity, as long as I can hit Hitler, of course I will not give up."
"Then your goal has not been achieved, why should you betray Reinhardt."
"Weirler, don't you think your question is stupid, my ultimate goal is to overthrow the ruling of the National Socialist Party, and after the elimination of Hitler, how can I go allegiance to another Nazi leader, they are all the same kind of people , Can't you see it?
I can guarantee that this Rhinehart will now become another Hitler. Because his current performance sometimes makes me think that the choice at that time may be a mistake, this person is definitely more dangerous than Hitler. Weiler, I know your loyalty to Germany, and one day you will regret your choice now. "
Canaris looked up at the high skylight, and now the sun had set and it was already dark outside.
Because of Weierle's relationship, the electric light in the cell was turned on, and Kanares' eyes flashed with excitement under the dim light.
"You are wrong, Kanaris. You don't know Rheinhardt von Steide, he is definitely not the kind of person you said, I believe my own vision, I am very sure of this.
You have never seen him, have not contacted him, have not talked to him, this is your biggest mistake.
Canaris, I can tell you, in fact, what you said, he has discussed with me, and he is very worried about it. But now that Germany has entered the battle, there is no second way to go beyond winning the final victory. We must not make any compromises, nor can we believe the so-called sincerity of those foreign forces.
Germany has already demonstrated his incomparably strong fighting power in the world. Germany has become a threat in the eyes of those countries. As a director of the intelligence department, you will not even have this strategic vision.
Now, we can only fight like this. Germany cannot afford the second defeat, which will be a disaster for Germany.
We have to win. Only victory can break through the current crisis. We have already got into the chariot. This chariot cannot be stopped until all the enemies are eliminated or eliminated by the enemy. "
Weierle stood up and said to Kanaris indifferently: "Now I know what you think, you haven't let me down too much, Kanaris."
Weierle patted the root of Daor who was still frowning at the tin.
"I think we should leave here, Dougan."
Weyler then led Dougan to the cell door.
"I think there may be nothing wrong with your idea, but you have used the wrong method, Kanaris."
Weierle walked to the door and stopped. He turned around and said, "You, you should not betray your motherland. No matter how lofty the reason, you cannot defend your collusion with foreign forces to sell German interests. The information you betrayed and the information you deliberately concealed will cost countless soldiers their lives. Is this what you want?
If Germany fails, will those countries really fulfill their promises to you? Will they allow Germany, which has beaten them, to rise again? It's stupid, Kanaris, you're stupid. I am thankful that we can stop you in time before you cause further harm to Germany. God bless Germany, you are dug out by us.
There is no future for you now, so I don’t want to say anything that one day you will regret what you did. Well, you still have half an hour to enjoy this last supper. . . . "
After talking, Weierle turned and walked outside the cell.
"Wait a minute... Weiler..." Canaris jumped up and shouted.
"Half an hour... goodbye, Kanaris, my old friend."
Weierle's figure paused at the door, he didn't look back, and then leaned out of the cell.
"Wait a minute, Weierle, I have something to say... Weierle... Weierle..."
Weierle walked along the corridor firmly with some drunken Dougan and Lieutenant Witt, and Canaris cried out from behind.
"I thought he had no fear of death." Dogen said softly.
"No one is afraid of death, but sometimes forgets it."
"Do you think you found the answer?"
"I found it, and I found my belief in the path we are going to be stronger. Dogen, how do you feel about this meeting."
"Very boring. I think you are right. I really shouldn't be here. I am a soldier. I only know that my country is loyal. I don't have time to think about other issues."
"I see what you are thinking in front of you."
"Where, I didn't think about anything. I just drank a bit more and felt dizzy. In addition, I have been restraining my desire to give the nonsense guy a shot."
"Oh, Dagen, you are indeed a pure warrior."
"Thank you for your compliment, Lord General."
When the three men walked to the ground, Yokos had already arranged the execution ground. A wooden post was nailed to the ground against a stone wall. Four incandescent searchlights illuminated the open space, and ten armed military policemen rushed to stand. While resting.
"Your Excellency General, Mr. Colonel, look, I'm all set up. Do you want to bring the prisoner now." Yokes walked over the forehead and said diligently.
"No, another half an hour."
"Well, I prepared some food and let the guards send it down immediately. I have to let him have a last supper."
"This is not necessary anymore. I brought him something to eat. He is enjoying it now. But my lieutenant hasn't eaten anything yet. Are you preparing food for him."
"What about you and the colonel?"
"We have all eaten and now want to walk around casually."
"Okay, obey, Lord General."
Weierle slowly walked to the corner of the yard and sat down on a stone beside the cloister.
"My Excellency Chief of Staff, look, the stars in the sky, it seems that tomorrow will be a good day." Dougan walked over to Weiler and looked up at the sky.
"Yeah, I'm entering Paris tomorrow. I hate it for rainy days."
Weierle took out his cigarette case and lighter from his pants pocket, and then took out a folded document from his chest pocket.
Weierle opened the cigarette case and drew a cigarette from it and put it in his ivory mouthpiece.
Then he unfolded the document and checked it in the afterglow of the searchlight. Then he lit the lighter neatly, and the jumping flame lit the document at once.
"General, what is this?" Dogen asked with some doubt.
Weierle raised his hand and lit a cigarette with the document. After taking a deep breath, he threw the document that had almost burned to his finger under his feet.
"The head of state's amnesty order for Kanaris." Weierle said indifferently.
"What! Then you?"
"The head of state asked me to decide whether to use this pardon in accordance with my personal judgment, and this..."
Weierle pointed to the ashes still smoky on the ground.
"That's my answer."
