Berlin, April 20, 1945.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

It was early in the morning, but the roaring sound of the cannon woke the citizens of Berlin to sleep, as well as a certain man who had been suffering from insomnia for many days.

"Knock ......"

In the bunker, in the long corridor, Adolf Hitler, dressed in military uniform, with his hands behind his back, glanced gloomily at the soldiers standing guard in the corridor, and his eyes were surrounded by a dark circle of dark circles. The successive setbacks of the war had left him sleepless and he had to rely on drugs such as opium and heroin to calm himself.

"Happy birthday, Führer. ”

Several generals who were whispering saw Adolf, hurriedly stood upright, and spoke.

April 20, Adolf's birthday, turns 55 today. But Adolf didn't care about the general's congratulations, but looked directly at one of the generals and said.

"What's going on? How can there be cannon fire outside Berlin?"

He looked directly at the Nazi general, and the piercing eyes were staring at him, Burgdorf, the second-class general of the Nazi German army, who was at the moment hesitant to answer the Führer.

And seeing his reaction, Adolf's face flashed with anger, he had already guessed what was going on.

"It's ridiculous, my enemies are already approaching Berlin, and my generals are still hiding from me, and I don't know about it until the sound of cannon is in my ears!"

Adolf's voice was full of rage as he walked forward angrily, his boots striding heavily, while Burgdorf and several other generals behind him hurried to follow, trying to explain something to the Führer as they went.

"Führer, that could also be a train cannon. ”

Train guns, heavy cannons loaded on trains and used rails to move forward, have a very long range, and if they were train guns, it would still be possible to bombard Berlin dozens of miles away. At first glance, it seemed that this explanation was reasonable, but in the face of the explanation of his own general, Adolf, who went straight forward, just dropped a sentence without looking back.

"Fart!"

Entering the military boardroom, Adolf made a phone call.

"Kohler, did you know that Berlin was under artillery attack...... How could you not know...... What about my air force? How could they get the Soviets into Berlin...... I should have hanged the leadership of the Luftwaffe a long time ago!"

Then, as if hearing something that made Adolf angry, he roared angrily and hung up the phone.

......

The Führer's Bunker is an extremely large underground complex, and there is even a conference hall for the generals and the Führer to meet.

In the conference hall, the generals were whispering to each other about their views on the war, but more often than not, they were dissatisfied with their colleagues, complaining, and desperate about the war, and some even directly said the decision to surrender to the Allies.

At this moment, Germany is facing a two-sided attack from the United States and the Soviet Union, thousands of lives are dying every moment, but Germany can only be struggling to support, and when the Soviet army began to bombard Berlin, the despair of war has permeated the generals.

"Surrender, we don't have a chance......"

One of the Wehrmacht generals whispered, but at this moment.

"The Führer has arrived!"

With a loud voice, all the generals hurriedly lined up, like the most ordinary soldiers, waiting for the review of the master of the empire.

"Knock...... Knock ......"

Before anyone arrived, the sound of low footsteps had already sounded.

Under the watchful eyes of the generals, Adolf slowly walked out of the corridor and into the hall, his body looking a little hunched, one hand behind his back, only the fierce gaze remained.

At this moment, Adolf is already suffering from Parkinson's disease, one of his hands will always shake unconsciously, and he does not like to let people see the fragile side of the "great leader", so he will always turn that hand behind his back.

In front of Adolf, all the generals had solemn expressions and raised their right hands to salute him.

"Long live the Führer!"

Looking at the solemn faces, Adolf's eyes were like knives trying to dig out what was hidden in their hearts, but in the end he raised his left hand as a return gift from the Führer to the generals.

There was already artillery fire in his ears, but Adolf was still reviewing his generals, shaking hands with them one by one to celebrate his birthday, and the generals also offered their blessings one by one.

"Führer, please evacuate Berlin at once, it is too dangerous here. ”

When shaking hands with Heinrich, the commander of the German Army Group suddenly spoke, trying to persuade the Führer.

However, facing Heinrich, as if Heinrich's words had touched him something, Adolf's face became gloomy, he stared at him, looked at the generals in front of him, and said word by word.

"Do you know how we lost the last war? Germany was not defeated at the front, we were our own people who were stabbed in the rear, and at the moment the German boys are still fighting desperately on the front line, and you are actually letting me evacuate now?"

"Shame, shame!"

He roared angrily, and Ruheinrich was silent in the face of the Führer's wrath, and then Adolf looked at the other generals and said.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to live and die with Berlin. ”

Then the birthday celebration was over, and the generals were supposed to go about their business, but at this moment, Adolf said to his confidant Goebbels.

"Goebbels, you come with me. ”

......

In another room, on a large square table, a scale-to-scale model of the city sits a church, a triumphal arch, a government building, an opera house, and ...... Every corner has been carefully designed.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The cannon continued to sound, but the two people in the room ignored it, and Adolf looked around at the model of the city in front of him, his pupils filled with rare fascination and joy.

He gently stroked the model with his hand, and a deep voice rang out.

"Goebbels, it took us more than 400 days to finally design this blueprint...... From ancient times to the present day, people have built too many buildings in Berlin, new, old, and cluttered, and these should be rebuilt, and the German people need a new, monumental new Berlin city. ”

In my ears, the sound of artillery fire was still there.

As he spoke, he paused inexplicably, and then said as if comforting himself.

"The bombing of Berlin is not all bad, because it will be much easier for us to rebuild. ”

In front of Goebbels, the Führer seemed to be a child who did not want to believe in the impending fate, talking about his fantasies to himself. Everyone could feel that Germany was in the present situation, that there was no hope of victory, but he did not want to believe it, and he always had illusions.

"Goebbels, today I have been persuaded to evacuate Berlin, what do you think. ”

Suddenly, Adolf, who was staring at the model of the city in front of him, turned his head and looked at Goebbels.

Goebbels froze, and then he said.

"We should stay in Berlin. ”

He was Adolf's loyal loyalist, fanatically believing in the Führer, and when he heard this, Adolf had a rare smile on his face and nodded slightly.

Then he turned his head again, looked at the model of the city in front of him, and continued to mumble.

"As long as Steiner's forces succeed in breaking through, the Soviets must withdraw their troops and return to defense...... Rest assured, you can win. ”

The thought of Steiner made him feel like he had a little more confidence in his heart again, and the smile on his face grew hotter. Only Goebbels was silent, everyone knew that Steiner only had a remnant army that had been defeated to the point of collapse, and they could not even protect themselves, how could they be expected to break through.

However, he was reluctant to shatter the Führer's illusions at the moment.

......

"Führer, I may have already said that I think the Ninth Legion must be withdrawn now, or they will be annihilated. ”

The military conference room was full of generals, filled with a dead and blank atmosphere, and one general said eagerly, sweating profusely.

"No, the Ninth Legion can't retreat, inform Busai and let him hold his position. ”

However, looking at the map in front of him, Adolf said, but another bald general on the side gasped.

"Führer, they will be annihilated. ”

"We want them to fend off the Soviet troops in the north and east, there is nothing to say, we are going to do whatever it takes, we are going to immediately launch a sustained and fierce attack on the Soviet troops. ”

Faced with the general's inquiry, Adolf waved his hand.

"Which force will you rely on? ”

The previous general's voice was hoarse, and he had to ask again. In front of him, the Führer was silent for a moment, then pointed to a place on the map and said stubbornly.

"Let Steiner's division advance from the north, and then join up with the Ninth Army. ”

"But the Ninth Army could not move north, and the enemy was ten times outnumbered by us. ”

One of the generals had to bite the bullet and answer.

"Walter Wink, let him take the Twelfth Legion to support. ”

Adolf looked at the map and said without thinking.

"But the legion was heading west to the Elbe. ”

"Then order them to turn around!"

As if the continuous questioning had angered Adolf, he slapped the table in a rage.

"But what about the Western Front. ”

"Yode, are you questioning my orders! I think I've made my orders clear!"

Adolf's face turned red, and he yelled angrily.

No one dared to provoke the Führer at this moment, and there was a dead silence in the military conference room.

After a long time, suddenly one of the generals pushed open the door to the conference room.

Adolf's face regained some composure when he saw him, and Adolf felt a little comforted by the presence of William Munck, the SS brigade commander and Waffen-SS Major General in Nazi Germany, an extremely experienced general.

"Monk, you're here...... Now Operation Clausewitz has begun, Berlin is already a front-line city, and you are in charge of guarding the government district......"

In the military boardroom, nodding to William Monk and then looking at the map in front of him, Adolf muttered his thoughts.

But William Munch, the calm and resolute general, asked.

"Führer, if there is a war in Berlin, the SS is willing to die to protect Berlin, but there are still three million civilians in Berlin, and they are now in urgent need of evacuation, what will they do. ”

Accustomed to seeing life and death, his voice did not rise and fall, Adolf did not speak, but thought for a moment, and then said.

"Thank you for your concerns, but we have to be cold-blooded now, and there's no time to worry about civilians now. ”

William Monk was silent, and then he spoke again in a cold, unheaving voice.

"Führer, I don't mean to offend, but what to do with the old and weak women and children and the tens of thousands of wounded in the city of Berlin. ”

No one answered.

......

A few days later, it was still the same military boardroom, and a general was swiping his finger across the map.

"The enemy, having broken through a large front, occupied the southern part of the city and were advancing towards Stamsdorf, where they were on the northern outskirts of Fronau and Ponco, and reached Lichtenberg and Karlshorst in the east. ”

At this moment, Adolf Hitler, who was wearing glasses, listened to the general's words, looked at the map again, and then pointed to the location on the map with his finger, and said.

"Steiner's offense will definitely control the situation. ”

Then, accompanied by the voice of the Führer, the conference room was filled with a strange atmosphere, and the generals looked at each other silently.

One of the generals, whose foreheads were covered with sweat, took a deep breath and said.

"Führer, Steiner......"

He paused, not daring to continue, and a general on the side continued his words and said worriedly.

"Steiner can't get enough men...... He could not go on the offensive. ”

The Führer fell silent, he said not a word, and after a long time, with trembling hands, he removed his glasses from the bridge of his nose.

"The people below stayed...... Kaito, Yod, Kreb, Bergdorf. ”

Then, the generals who looked at each other left silently one by one, and only three remained, looking at Adolf Hitler in front of them uneasily.

Immediately, the voice of rage rang out.

"This is my order! I order Stanner to attack! Who do you think you are? How dare you disobey my orders. It turns out that the truth is like this...... The military has been lying to me! Everybody is lying and deceiving me!"

Enraged, Adolf Hitler got up from his seat and cursed angrily.

"I didn't expect that even the SS was no exception, our generals were a bunch of vile and disloyal cowards!"

"Führer, I cannot tolerate your humiliation of the military. ”

One of the generals tried to refute, but was only responded to by a louder roar of rage.

"They're a bunch of cowards, traitors, losers!"

"Führer, this is a bit too much......"

"These generals are a disgrace to the Germans, a disgrace! There is no sense of glory!"

But Adolf didn't pay any attention to his rebuttal, and just angrily threw the pen in his hand on the map table.

Then he took a breath and continued.

"They claim to be generals, but after so many years in the military academy, they have only learned to eat with knives and forks, and they have not learned anything. For so many years, the military has been pulling me back! They have put all kinds of obstacles in my way, and if I had known this, I should have followed Stalin's example and killed all the senior officers!"

He slammed the table in anger, slamming the table.

Then he gasped, as if he was tired of scolding, and sat back in his seat.

"I didn't go to military school, but I managed to conquer Europe on my own...... Traitors, it turns out that from the very beginning I was kept in the dark and deceived by a group of traitors, what a terrible betrayal of the German people by this shameful act, but these traitors must be repaid, they will pay with their own blood, they will fall in their own blood!"

When the angry voices stopped, there seemed to be a woman's cry outside the door.

There was silence, and then Adolf, who was sitting in his seat, whispered.

"If you turn a deaf ear to my orders, then, since this is the case, there is no way for me to lead anymore...... It's over, and the German people have not done what I have given them. ”
