A large dark brown desk is placed on the right foot of the room facing the door. On the desk is an oval desk lamp that emits a hazy orange light and a pen holder with only two pens. Behind the desk is a
There are high rows of bookshelves filled with all kinds of books. In the middle of the floor is a dark green carpet with light green patterns. Against the wall are a row of long leather sofas wrapped in velvet and a coffee table.
and several wicker chairs said to be produced in China. A gorgeous orchid-shaped chandelier was installed on the ceiling. There were no luxurious decorations on the surrounding walls, except for a huge and unusually large European hanging on the wall near the left.
On the other side hangs a German flag and several oil paintings depicting medieval mythology.
This is the office of the "Mountain Manor", the private residence of the German head of state Hitler, which means that this is not a place where Hitler handles official business, but a place where he takes a personal rest or talks with his subordinates or senior political officials. After all,
The head of state is also a human being, and he also needs to rest and relax. The "Mountain Villa" is where Hitler often came.
"My head of state, the Chinese and the damn Slavs fought at Lake Baikal. Those cowardly Slavs were severely punished by the Chinese. This is really a very satisfying thing." Martin, Hitler's chief secretary.
Bowman reported to his boss with a delighted tone.
At this time, Hitler was sitting in his office chatting with Nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels and Gestapo leader Heinrich Himmler. Martin Bormann walked in excitedly and reported the good news to Hitler.
"Really, those Slavs suffered a small loss?" The scene he originally expected did not appear, and Hitler just nodded lightly.
"Yes, my head of state." Martin Bowman was stunned before continuing: "Those Slavs organized a guerrilla group of more than 300 people to attack a Chinese outpost with only more than 30 people, but they were defeated.
The Chinese have killed more than a hundred people, and now the two countries' political axes are quarreling with each other."
Although Martin Bormann was Hitler's chief secretary, he did not have any outstanding talents or talents. He just relied on accompanying Hitler and slowly rose to this position. However, he knew how to hide his clumsiness.
He never expresses his opinions randomly on things he doesn't understand. This is why Hitler promoted him to his chief secretary.
"It can only be a quarrel with each other. The Chinese and Slavs will not make any big moves now." Hitler shook his head, with a touch of regret on his face.
"Why, my head of state, if our empire adds more strength, maybe the two countries will start a war first. You must know that Stalin sent more troops to Lake Baikal a few days ago." Martin Bowen
One of Man's strengths is that he can just ask if he doesn't understand.
"Haha" the three people in the office, including Hitler, laughed softly.
Hitler stopped laughing and said: "Martin, do you know what I appreciate most about you? That is, although your talent is very ordinary, you never analyze things you don't know.
He will become an outstanding genius, but at least he will not make big mistakes." Hitler's expression was very relaxed.
"Uh, I'm sorry, my head of state, I've let you down." Martin Bowman blushed. Anyone would be embarrassed to be judged like this by his boss.
Hitler pointed at Heinrich and said, "Himler, please explain the reason to Martin."
"Yes, my head of state." Heinrich agreed respectfully before turning to Martin Bowman and explaining: "Martin, although on the surface it seems that Stalin's addition of a group army to Lake Baikal has already affected China,
People pose a threat, but this is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, both of them understand that the arrival of the army group is just a gesture made by Stalin. You must know that it is still February, and Siberia is still in the ice and snow. In this kind of situation
It's okay to fight a small-scale war under certain circumstances, but if you want to launch a large-scale war at a low temperature of more than 50 degrees below zero, there is nothing anyone can do. Not to mention the fuel and logistical support alone can bring both sides together.
The logistics minister is driven crazy. So if we want to fight in Siberia, we have to wait until summer comes, that is, after June and July."
"But didn't China have a lively fight with those Slavs in the past few years?" Martin Bowman still felt that he couldn't understand.
Heinrich laughed and said: "How can we compare now with previous years? In the past few years, they were so big that the Chinese army had more than 300,000 people, and the Slavs had 600,000-700,000 people. Even like this, they were about to lose both of them.
It dragged on until I could hardly breathe. If the two sides fought again now, it would not be hundreds of thousands of people, but at least millions of troops fighting, and they would have to organize an army in the ice and snow at more than 50 degrees below zero.
In a big battle involving millions of people, you might as well give a pistol to the logistics officers on both sides and let them commit suicide. Well, at least they won't become the first logistics officer to be driven crazy in the history of the world."
"Hehehe" Several people in the room were amused by Heinrich's rare sense of humor.
"Okay, Martin, don't be disappointed. Although I also hope that the Chinese and the Slavs can fight in Siberia first, this is obviously impossible, because neither Stalin nor Su Tong are fools." Hitler comforted himself.
The secretary shouted and waved her hand to let him out.
After seeing Martin Bormann close the door, Hitler turned to Goebbels and asked: "My dear partners, what do you think of this little war between China and Russia?"
Goebbels replied respectfully: "Dear Führer, I am just the Minister of Propaganda. I don't know much about military matters. I'm afraid that speaking out will affect your judgment of the situation."
Goebbels laid a foreshadowing here, which means that I will talk about it for the time being, and you can listen to it for the time being. If the boss makes a mistake, you can’t blame me.
Hitler waved his hand impatiently, "Just say what you are told. I won't blame you if I'm wrong."
I was waiting for your words, boss. Goebbels cleared his throat and said softly: "First of all, from the perspective of the geographical location and strategic interests of the two countries, China and Russia have natural irreconcilable conflicts.
The outbreak of war is inevitable and inevitable. With the rise of China, Stalin became more and more wary of it. What's more, those Slavs suffered such a big loss in Siberia a few years ago, even Sakhalin Island
and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land have been robbed by the Chinese. Can Stalin swallow this breath? Sooner or later there will be a war between the two countries. Seeing that Stalin added a group army to Lake Baikal and the Chinese have already been making peace in Mongolia.
If there are millions of troops stationed in Xinjiang Province, we know that sooner or later they will beat us to death."
"That's good, continue"
After receiving the boss's approval, Goebbels perked up and continued, "So what our empire needs to do now is to try our best to get Stalin to transfer the troops deployed in Europe to the east. In this way, we are carrying out the "Barbarossa Plan."
It will be much easier when we occupy Soviet Russia, and we can also have more benefits after occupying Soviet Russia."
Goebbels observed Hitler's face as he spoke, but he was a little frustrated to find that Hitler's face showed a look of worry, which made Goebbels feel a little frustrated.
"My head of state, am I wrong in what I said?"
Before Goebbels could finish speaking, Hitler shook his head and said, "Goebbels, you have said a lot, and you have a far-sighted vision than many army officers, but..."
At this point, Hitler's eyes showed worry and anger again: "But there are people in our army who always want to drag me back. Yes, they just want to drag me back." Hitler's face began
Showing a ferocious look.
"What I'm worried about is those armies. I don't trust them. I know they don't trust me either. It's just because I gave them enough benefits that they are loyal to me. So I have to hold on to them tightly. Only by truly
Only by mastering them can I continue to fight with confidence. But if this war fails, Germany will lose everything it has. The enemies of the German Nazi Party will come back, and I may also be shot by their despicable cold arrows. Germany
The people and the army will abandon a failed leader, just as they abandoned the Kaiser twenty years ago. The German nation will once again lose his chance to stand up."
At this point, Hitler began to get excited again: "But I will never let this happen. The German nation will surely be reborn from the ashes in my hands. Himmler, my dear partner, you must help me watch over it."
Those guys in the Army, if anyone dares to betray me or be disloyal to me, what you have to do is to arrest him immediately and put him in that damn concentration camp. That's where they should be. You can do it.
"
Hitler was indeed a war genius. His predictions about war were extremely accurate. And because of his extraordinary prediction ability, he began to fear that the Army would betray him when he was in adversity. What happened on Germany's road to world domination?
Anything could happen, and Hitler didn't want to take the chance.
Yes, Hitler knew that the current German Empire was like a castle built on sand. The German people were just mechanically deceived by habitual thinking and propaganda machines, and were rigidly obeying the Nazi Party's command. Because Hitler, the twentieth century
The glorious prospects painted by the greatest deceiver confused everyone. After twenty years of suffering and long and arduous waiting, the German people finally had someone who claimed to be able to rescue them from the oppression of the Treaty of Versailles.
Give them bread, milk, jobs and welfare, and also give them the dignity they long for. At this time, the German people will of course comply with his arrangements. Of course, from 1933 to the present, Hitler has indeed done the above.
At two points, under his leadership, Germany quickly stood up again from the ruins in just seven years, and once again grew into a giant that frightened Europe and the world.
But Hitler was not satisfied with these, he wanted more, so the corporal in World War I thought of war
Hitler knew clearly that the "Barbarossa Plan" was like a big gamble. If it failed, the German people would return to the miserable days of the past, and it might even be worse, because the French and British would never let go.
The main culprit of two world wars. As for the German people, they will thoroughly think about why they have become like this. In the end, all the fingertips will eventually point to Hitler, the leader of Germany, and his fate will be whatever.
Anyone with a brain would think that he would collapse immediately, and even his Führer system and the SS could not save him.
But the bad thing is that the German Army is not completely in the hands of Hitler, but in the hands of the officer corps composed of Junker nobles. The loyalty of those Army to Hitler is only based on a mutual benefit. Hitler served them
Expand the army, let them restore the glory of the army, and eradicate their enemies. The German army will also obey Hitler's leadership, stand firmly on Hitler's side, intimidate Hitler's political opponents, and open up new territories for his Nazi empire.
Now there is a voice in the German army officer corps. The officers feel that they have recovered the occupied territory and retaliated against France and Britain who had oppressed them. The German army has regained the face it once lost. This is
That's enough.
This phenomenon made Hitler extremely worried. The German Army has its own tradition. The soldiers and junior officers of the German Army will only obey the orders of their generals. That is a fine tradition passed down by Germany for hundreds of years. This tradition is the former German Emperor.
It can't be changed. Maybe some people will say that this is good enough, so be it.
But Hitler felt that this was not enough. The result of such interdependence and compromise was not what he needed. What he needed was absolute control. Yes, absolute control. The Gestapo and the SS he established by himself were not so much for external expansion.
Rather, it was established to counter the German army officer corps.
Fortunately, at this time, China appeared, and Germany had an excellent ally. Although this ally did not sign any written agreement with Germany, in Hitler's eyes, this was nothing, compared to those who wasted ink.
He believed in his vision more than the agreement. Since the Chinese Chief of General Staff had already agreed on behalf of his president to work with Germany to attack Soviet Russia, then there was absolutely no problem. This was the trust of an imperial head of state in him.
As long as he and China occupy Soviet Russia, his prestige will grow to an unparalleled level, and those officer corps will no longer dare to betray themselves.
Looking at the budding branches outside the window, Hitler prayed silently in his heart: "God, let the war come soon, I can't wait any longer."
