Age of Rebirth

For Marshal von Kleidermann, the commander of the Third Army Group, who was recalled from the front line for no reason, he lost his temper like gunpowder, which was expected by the chief of the general staff, Marshal von Struns. The front-line commanders who were treated like this would all be furious, inevitably full of anger, and it would be the same if they were themselves, maybe even more intense than this reaction.

On the contrary, Marshal von Klaydermann's indifference and obvious distance made Marshal von Stroance stunned. According to the personal relationship between the two, it shouldn't be such an attitude, even if it is an old friend in front of him. It's not beyond his imagination to lose his temper, but this attitude makes him feel uncomfortable.

However, it was just a moment of surprise, and then he became more formal, "Marshal von Kleidermann, the General Staff is ordered by the head of state to call your Excellency to report in Berlin, so even if I am the Chief of the General Staff, Not to mention any instructions, if you have any opinions, you can express them to the head of state in person! Or, I can convey them!" Marshal von Struns' tone changed to a flat voice.

Hearing that the old friend used honorifics, and the tone was quite cold, Marshal von Kleidman realized that his attitude was a bit too much, and he knew very well in his heart that without the order of the head of state, the General Staff would not Such an inexplicable order was issued, but why the head of state did this was a mystery that he had been thinking all the way on the plane back without an answer.

Marshal von Kleidman smiled wryly, and said apologetically, "Old friend, please forgive my courtesy. You also know that I have such a temper. According to my true inner thoughts, I came to quarrel with you!" [

In a word, the slight unhappiness in the hearts of the two of them disappeared immediately, and they were both professional soldiers.Not so narrow-minded, Marshal von Struns stepped forward, took his hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "You still have that temper, but there is no need to quarrel. The head of state is already waiting in the office of the Empire State Building. I'm following you!"

Marshal von Kleidman said in surprise: "The head of state is waiting for me? Didn't he report to the General Staff?"

Marshal von Struns said somewhat mysteriously: "The head of state made a special confession. When our commander, who beat the British and Americans to the brim, comes back from the front line, come directly to my office!"

The two drove and hurried to the Empire State Building, the office of Adolf Hitler, the head of state of Germany.

Through a corridor, an SS major greeted him.Respectfully said: "Your Excellencies, the two marshals, the head of state is in the office, I was ordered to come to greet you, please follow me!"

When the two of them entered Hitler's office, they were taken aback. In the spacious office, the Führer was not the only one.Reich Propaganda Minister Goebbels, Gestapo Chief Himmler, Deputy Chief and Secret Police Chief Heinrich, National Deputy Commander of the SS Admiral Paul Schulenburg, Naval Commander Admiral Doenitz, Air Force First Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Garibaldi, Lieutenant General Koller, Second Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, and Lieutenant General Korver, Director of the German Inter-Services Intelligence Agency, and others.

The main person in charge of the special department of the German party, government and army.They are all here, three to 40 people, and the huge office is full. It seems that today is not a single summoning of Marshal von Kleidman, but an extremely important meeting.The scale of this meeting is very large. It can be said that the big guys who can decide the fate of Germany are basically present.Even the chief of the general staff, Marshal von Struns, hadn't heard of it beforehand.

It is just that there is no former Nazi Party No. [-] figure, German Reichsmarshal, and Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Norman Goering. It seems that since the last time, during Tang Qiuli's secret visit to Germany, he gave Goering a sap. I was ashamed of myself, and I fell so thoroughly that I had completely faded out of the German power center. I don't know where he was sent to retire by his former comrade-in-arms Hitler.

The two looked at each other and saluted the German head of state Hitler who was strutting in the office. However, it was not the most fashionable Nazi-style military salute, but the traditional military salute of the German Army. Si, Commander of the Third Army Group von Kleidermann, was ordered to meet with the Führer!"

Hitler's mood was obviously very happy, probably because the German army has won many victories on the battlefield recently. He looked refreshed, flushed and energetic. Greeting, but said in an exaggerated tone: "Comrades, let's see who has returned from the front!"

All the leaders of the German party, government, military and constitution, of course, know Marshal von Kleidermann who has been in the limelight recently, and they got up one after another, shook hands with him, and greeted him cordially.

After everyone was seated, Hitler said in his usual, high-pitched and shrill voice: "Everyone, today's meeting is mainly to listen to Marshal von Kleidermann about the combat situation in the UK. Next, we, the Germans, will The invincible commander of the army, Marshal von Kleidermann, who beat the British and Americans half to death, gave a report on the battle situation, so Marshal von Kleiderman is the protagonist, and we are all the audience!"

Marshal von Kleidman felt a little awkward in his heart. He hurried back from the British front line and met with the head of state. He hoped that the head of state would listen to his opinion and cancel the order to stop the attack. Why did he arrive at the head of state's office, but it turned into a report on the battle situation? Is this very different from my original intention?

What's more, the British frontline battle report is sent to the general staff on time every day. Everyone present is a boss who has the authority to know the content of the battle report. What else can be repeated, is it a waste of time?

However, there is no way, the order of the head of state can only be obeyed. Therefore, Marshal von Kleidman introduced the battle situation on the British front line as concisely as possible, and, out of the rigor of the Germanic nation, he did not exaggerate or wantonly Bragging, I didn't exalt myself to a high status, but seeking truth from facts, no exaggeration. Of course, I am now the commander of the Victory Division, and my record is obvious to all, so I don't shy away from talking about it.

In less than 10 minutes, Marshal von Kleidman finished his report. Judging from the expressions of these bigwigs present, there was no surprise at all. Obviously, they all knew the battle report from the British front. He was just repeating the words in the battle report, and there was nothing new. If he occupied all the British territory, he would not be stingy with words and exaggerate it a lot. Therefore, in his heart, he thought that the head of state was unnecessary and a waste of time!

As long as the mood is excited, Hitler's signature action is to stand up, put his hands behind his back, and walk back and forth on the carpet in a hurry, so that everyone's eyes will follow his actions. Perhaps in Hitler's own opinion, In doing so, you can better highlight yourself as the focus and central figure.

The German party, government, military and constitutional leaders, once you see the actions of the head of state, you will know that a decision that will determine the fate of Germany and the target of the attack is about to be born. Of course, this decision comes from the head of the head of state, and Not anyone here, even if there is an objection.

Hitler stopped suddenly, and said in a sharp voice: "Everyone, have you heard that Marshal von Kleidermann, who just returned from the front, brought us the greatest good news, the great German army, liberating all of Europe The day of the territory is not far away, as long as the third army group makes the final blow on the British mainland, the British and Americans who have been beaten to pieces can only jump into the Atlantic Ocean!" [

"What an exciting moment this is. I would like to share this joy with you. The flag of the Nazi Party will be planted in every corner of the European continent. Of course, we can't do anything about the European territories occupied by Russian gorillas. To, no! This problem must be solved!"

Speaking of the Russians, Hitler couldn't help showing an expression of extreme contempt and disgust on his face, as if he mentioned something unclean, which made him very disgusted. At the end of the road, I can’t last for a few more days. Could it be that His Excellency’s eyes turned to the east again, and aimed at the Russians? Next, we will carry out specific military deployments to fight against Russia!” The ears of all the officials immediately froze. Wake up, so focused that I dare not lose my mind in the slightest!

Hitler's thinking was incoherent and jumpy. He suddenly changed the subject and said: "Claydermann, the Third Army Group, how do you react to my order to stop attacking the British and American coalition forces? Especially you, boldly Speak your mind!"

All the bosses were stunned. The head of state ordered the third army group to stop the attack. Everyone didn't know the news. Everyone had the same reaction as Marshal von Kleidman. They were full of puzzles and questions. Our army , The morale is high, and we should go all out, take advantage of the victory and pursue, and completely eliminate the British and American coalition forces on the British mainland. Why did they suddenly stop?The head of state's thoughts and actions are really hard to guess and understand?

However, although no one spoke or questioned, everyone dared not speak out about Hitler's decision, which was made without any discussion, but they were unavoidably dissatisfied in their hearts. This time, when it comes to Germany's decision on the outcome of a war, it is indeed too much to make such a hasty decision!

Marshal von Kleidman seized this opportunity. He originally wanted to ask the head of state for an explanation. The Führer should know how wrong his orders were!
