Chapter 3: Sisterhood and Infatuation [Act 3] Intricacies (11)

Eric's face changed suddenly at this point, and his olive-green eyes scanned the surroundings neatly, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was so busy that they didn't pay attention to the three of them at all. It is really reckless to slander his friend: although Hitler was the head of the Reich, he had long been in the same bed with the Juncker officer corps, so many SS members were installed in various army barracks to monitor his every move. If these words reached the ears of Hitler, Goering, Himmler, and others, the friction between the army, the air force, and the SS would inevitably become more and more intense, and even completely hollowed out. What's more, if he is mentioned in these words, doesn't he put himself in danger of losing his duty and dying in his life?

Seeing that Eric's face was slightly displeased, Wilkes immediately understood his chief's thoughts, and eagerly made a 'silence' gesture to Stauffenberg: "Your Excellency, this command is full of people, it is better to pay attention." Fortunately, Britain and France were short of supplies, so they could only create unhelpful friction at our borders, and at present, the Polish army's counterattack has also been effectively contained, and the situation is not bad. We are soldiers, and we only have the responsibility of defending the territory and opening up the territory, and after winning the victory on the Eastern Front, we can return to the country with honor, such as dirty politics, it is better not to bother with it. ”

After a long time, Stauffenberg let out a long sigh and calmed down. The Wehrmacht's oath rings in my ears today. If there is a disobedience, will it not disgrace the dignity of the Junker nobles and the army officer corps? Moreover, according to credible information provided by spies lurking in London, only 152 of the 352 anti-aircraft guns allocated by the British to the army arrived on schedule. There is not a single one of the 48 light anti-aircraft guns that are indispensable for the forward air strike force, and there is also a shortage of fighters of all kinds. The intelligence officer in Paris even revealed that France had no war at all** - what fear of such an adversary?

"Okay, Will. I'll admit you convinced me for the time being. Stauffenberg stretched his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "But I hope that old fellow had better hold his binoculars and take a few bullets on the front line, and then make a convincing battle plan and stop doing anything out of the ordinary." With that, he lit the tortoiseshell cigarette in his filtered mouth, took a deep breath, and walked away slowly.

Seeing Stauffenberg's back disappear into the doorway, Wilkes smiled at Eric with a gratifying smile. Although the corners of Eric's eyebrows were stretched, his face was still solemn, and he said worriedly: "Will, if it weren't for you, no one would have been able to really persuade him." Klaus is firm and resolute, but he has a rebellious temperament. I'm afraid he's going to get into some trouble in the future. ”

"The Earl can listen to my persuasion, mainly for the sake of my distant cousin." Wilkes shrugged, then remembered something, and whispered to Eric, "According to Wolff, the special train of the Führer, Goering, Himmler and others will arrive in Posen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but General Pettzer and the command have not yet learned about it. Therefore - another 'earl', your brother, will accompany you. After saying that, he cautiously checked Eric's expression, waiting for the chief's affection to break out. Because the Hoffman brothers have always been at odds, it has long been an open secret.

To Wilkes' surprise, Eric was not half angry, only a sneer on the corner of his lips: "I really didn't expect that the profession of poultry breeding is so attractive that my brother will become a loyal servant of the 'Imperial Chicken Farm Owner' despite his noble earl status!" If he had known this, he should have passed him on to a farmer, so that the dignified Hoffman family would not be torn apart! ”
