Reinhard said solemnly: "Everyone is sorted by rank. General Witzleben stands in the middle, General Fromm and Mr. Gotler stand next to General Witzleben on both sides, and everyone else goes down the line. Try to
Come closer, because I’m going to ask reporters to take pictures of you later.”
Looking at the serious look on the head of state's face, everyone on the stage was a little confused. Didn't you agree that today's speech will be performed by you alone? What's going to happen if we suddenly take over?
However, Reinhard took it as a matter of course, as if this arrangement was completely reasonable.
"It's up to you to speak in the next hour. Don't worry, speak slowly, and make your opinions clear." Reinhard seemed to be quite happy and said: "I just like to listen to everyone's opinions.
Opinions, find your own shortcomings from the opinions."
Seeing Reinhard's shameless expression, Wetzler didn't look like he was asking for advice humbly. He immediately said with a sullen face: "Führer, just say what you want to express. There is no need to beat around the bush, and there is no need for us to express any opinions."
Just as he said this, Wetzler was about to step off the podium.
"Wait!" Reinhard quickly stopped him and said, "What I just said is true. I really want to hear your opinions."
How can I make you step down? If I let you, old boy, run away today, you may not let me go another day! Instead of waiting for you to assassinate me several times in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to get rid of you.
"Are you serious?" Witzleben stopped in his tracks and froze in place, motionless.
He has almost integrated the groups that opposed Reinhardt. Among them are the religious figures who were weakened by Reinhardt, the Juncker class who have been deprived of power, the dissatisfied, and those with political disagreements. They have been sent from foreign countries to cooperate with them.
The people who overthrew Reinhardt......
There are all kinds of people here, how can he be able to suppress them with just one sentence? Weitzleben knows very well that the reason why he can use these people and give instructions to these people is entirely because he is satisfying their goals.
.Once he really put forward some opinions today, his opinions were really adopted by Reinhard.
Then the situation within the opposition group will be difficult to control.
By that time, many moderates will loosen their attitude and turn to Reinhardt because of Reinhardt's concessions. However, those who have other selfish purposes will not give up overthrowing him because of Reinhardt's concessions.
As for the already wavering outsiders like Fromm, they may even do something to betray the opposition group!
After a brief silence, Witzleben, who was thinking hard, said, "How can we explain this kind of thing in a while? If the head of state really wants to have a serious discussion, he can ask us in the future. Today, let's talk about the exercises first.
Let's do it..." As he said this, Witzleben tried to leave the podium.
"Wait a minute!" Reinhard stopped him loudly: "I finally humbly asked for advice. You must speak today! Say it loudly now, right here, in front of everyone."
Is there something wrong?! Witzleben looked at the head of state who was out of his mind with a strange expression.
Is there anything that has to be said today, or should it be said in public like this? How afraid are you that people will not know what you have not done well? You must choose such a time to face the public, so that those of us who are already
Do people who have a problem with you leave you alone?
Looking at Reinhard's eyes that seemed to be expecting something, Witzleben swallowed his saliva nervously, guessing the true intention of the head of state in asking a group of opponents to speak out in public.
wrong!!!
Reinhard should not have known that the people on the podium were all members of the opposition organization! He took the initiative to gather these people together. If it was not a horrible coincidence, then there must be some other purpose.
This purpose is definitely not to let everyone issue some bullshit suggestions one by one.
Before Wetzler could figure out what medicine Reinhard was selling in his gourd, a fierce burst of fire engulfed his body behind him.
Amid the shaking of the earth, Witzleben finally saw clearly the expression on Reinhardt's face that he tried hard to hide. It was a joke of schadenfreude!
"Boom!" The time bomb set by Irsay exploded without any error at 10:15. Standing at the center of the explosion where Reinhardt was supposed to be standing, Witzleben and eight senior members of the opposition group around him were on the spot.
Lost their lives, and 63 other people present suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Among the many injured people, even Reinhardt, who had been prepared early in the morning, had his arm scratched by the wood thrown by the explosion, causing a slight bleeding wound.
"Quick, quick, quick! Protect the Führer!" Steve's heart-rending roar rang out quickly. More than thirty SS soldiers rushed up and surrounded Reinhardt. Two SS majors in the middle of the encirclement helped the lying men to their feet.
Reinhard fell down and ran out of the beer hall with him as fast as he could.
"Alert perimeter!"
"Seal down the surrounding area!"
"Contact our SS Medical Corps!"
"..."
Steve, who had received the news from Ross a long time ago, calmly followed the normal procedure and issued emergency instructions to the SS in charge of security, trying his best to make everything look like it was unexpected.
"Oh God! How could this happen?" the Munich police chief on the periphery exclaimed in disbelief.
Behind him, the more than 40 police officers he brought after hearing the news also looked in disbelief.
The SS's three blockade lines controlled this generation to death early in the morning. They were only allowed to enter and not to leave!
The police outside the blockade could clearly see that many of the panicked onlookers who were stuck in the second and third blockades were ordered by the guarding SS to leave without waiting.
.
The police chief wanted to do something, but when he thought about the fact that there was almost a division of SS present, it seemed that the police he brought with him had nothing to do.
"You are the leader, right?" While the director was hesitating, an SS major ran up to him quickly.
"Yes, Mr. Major. Is there anything we can help with here?" The director nodded and asked enthusiastically.
"Ask your people to help block the outer streets and don't let anyone break in." The major turned his head and glanced at the people brought by the director. After confirming the number of people, he continued: "Can more people be transferred?
"
"I can mobilize about thirty to forty people in a short period of time, and if time permits, I can mobilize more." The director quickly replied.
"That's enough." The major nodded and said commandingly to the police chief: "Your task is only to help blockade the outer streets. More than fifty people are enough. Our SS will complete the rest.
"
After saying that, the major in black uniform turned around and ran back to the third blockade line where he was located without looking back.
Although there were still many questions to ask, the director did not say much at this time. From the tone of the SS major, he seemed to feel something unusual, as if the SS major was very sure that there was no need for it.
The helpers I brought with me were just sent away on a random job to block the streets.
What are they thinking about? Are they worried that there is something wrong with them and don't dare to use it? Or are they too sure that they are too lazy to use it? Or maybe it's a combination of both...
