Chapter 381: Arrest

After arranging Goebbels, all Rotai had to do was wait quietly. He came out of the conference room, bypassed the secretaries and guards, and returned to his basement room. He let out a long breath, walked over to his desk and sat down, turning his head to look at the warzone map hanging on the wall.

The Battle of Berlin (April 16, 1945 ~ May 9, 1945) was the last strategic offensive campaign carried out by the Soviet Army in the Soviet-German War of World War II.

The Soviet army concentrated a total of 270 divisions and cavalry divisions, 20 tank corps and mechanized corps, 14 air force armies, a total of 2.5 million troops, and 2,450 aircraft, 14,200 artillery, 1,500 tanks and self-propelled guns, and the enemy in front of them was the German Army Group and Army Group Center, a total of 48 infantry divisions, 9 motorized divisions, 6 armored divisions, a total of 800,000 people, 700 artillery pieces and mortars, 500 tanks and artillery pieces, 342 combat aircraft.

The campaign was launched on April 16, 1945, and successively broke through the Oder and Neisse lines. On the 25th, a siege was formed against Berlin. In the assault on Berlin, the Soviets attacked the center from multiple directions, and after fierce street fighting, they broke into the center of Berlin on April 27, and on the 29th, the Soviets began to storm the Reichstag. On the 30th, Hitler committed suicide in the basement of the Chancellery. In 1945, the commander of the garrison, General H. Weidlin, led his troops to surrender. The Battle of Berlin ended on May 2, 1945.

On May 9, 1945, Field Marshal W. Keitel, representative of the German High Command, signed the unconditional surrender to the Soviet Army and the Allied Expeditionary Force in Berlin. In the whole campaign, the Soviet army annihilated a total of 480,000 German troops. 600 artillery pieces, more than 400 tanks and self-propelled guns, and 500 aircraft were captured.

The victory in this battle smashed the plot of the German High Command to consume a large number of Soviet troops near Berlin to drag out the war, and marked the end of the German fascists and the end of the war in Europe.

Rotai looked at the calendar. Today is April 20th, and the Battle of Berlin has been going on for four days. With the current strength in their hands, it is impossible to drive the Soviets out of Germany, and if they can hold out a few days longer than in history, it will be a great victory.

He rubbed his temples vigorously, hoping that Goebbels would bring Himmler back soon. "Bangbang~" The sound of the iron door knocking.

"The door is unlocked." Rotai shouted.

The iron door was gently pushed open, and a soldier with a gun stood in front of Rotai and spoke, "Führer." Madame is here, and she wants to see you. ”

Madam? Luo Tai thought for a moment, oh. Right. His wife is that Eva. Braun. Eva. Born in 1912, Braun is 33 years old, fairly beautiful, and well-educated. She was Hitler's favorite woman. He was also very loyal to Hitler.

"Let her in." Rotai said.

Soon. A beautiful young woman in a black trench coat walked in, and as soon as she entered the house, she walked up to Rotai, lowered her head and kissed Rotai, and then said: "Dear Führer, Herman said that you are angry again, and you should pay attention to your body. ”

"Herman?" Rotai thought for a moment, then looked at Eva and said, "Isn't Herman Himmler's lieutenant?" ”

"How?" Eva walked around behind Rotai and held him in her arms with her arms outstretched.

A burst of body fragrance from Eva. Makes Rotai a little infatuated, though. His mind was still on Herman, "What is he responsible for now?" ”

Eva was a little puzzled and said, "Oh, my dear, have you forgotten what you appointed yourself?" He is now in charge of the SS throughout Berlin, keeping you safe. ”

Luo Tai silently reached out and stroked Aiwa's lowered head. After a long time, he said, "My dear, I still have work to do, so you can go back first." ”

The empathetic Eva nodded and said, "I know the current situation of our country, but you must pay attention to your body. ”

"I see." Rotai said.

Seeing off Eva, Rotai said to the guard at the door, "You go and get Herman." ”

After a while, the young and handsome Herman. Figuerein walked into Rotai's basement. He saluted first, and then, at Rotai's motion, he sat down on the couch next to his desk.

"How many SS troops are there in Berlin now that can fight?" Rotai asked.

These days, Herman heard Hitler ask more than once, the edifice was about to fall, and Hitler became nervous, calculating every day how many troops he still had. In order to make Hitler feel better, Herman exaggerated the strength of the army "slightly" each time, and took the trouble to ensure that these SS troops were well-trained and ready to fight in the army.

"100,000 people." Herman said.

Hermann was a general of the Nazi Party in Germany. He joined the Nazi Party in 1928, joined the SA two years later, and later joined the SS. In 1941, he led the SS cavalry against the Soviet Union in the Soviet-German war. In 1942 he was awarded the Knight of the Iron Cross. In 1943 he was transferred back to Berlin and served as Himmler's aide-de-camp. Figuerein was directly or indirectly involved in many of the massacres. In April 1945, he absconded with his mistress during the Battle of Berlin, was arrested by the Gestapo, and was shot the same month.

On the eve of the fall of Berlin, he attempted to flee to Switzerland with gold and silver, and was rumored to have been involved in negotiating the surrender of the Allied forces in Helem. Enraged, Hitler ordered Eva's death on 29 April 1945 for treason, despite Eva's pleas.

This bit of history, Luo Tai is clear, and the person in front of him is likely to be a time bomb planted by Himmler. So, at this time, he stared at Herman and began to mentally control him.

Herman's will is very tenacious, and he actually holds a submachine gun in the projection of virtual space. Rotai's battle with him in space was fierce, and Rotai himself was shot three times before he subdued Herman.

"Huh~~" After coming out of the virtual space, Luo Tai gasped heavily, looked at Herman, whose eyes were already glazed, and muttered: "Damn, you are so difficult to deal with, let alone Himmler." ”

"Herman, now I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you'll answer me truthfully." Rotai spoke.

"Yes, master!" Herman said as he stood up and saluted.

"Are you Himmler's guilty?" Rotai asked.

"Yes. Master, he arranged for me to watch the whole cabinet after I took control of the SS in Berlin. Herman said.

"Do you want to do it to me at a critical time?" Rotai asked.

"Yes, master."

"How many troops do you have at your disposal now?"

"Thirty thousand." Herman said.

"Now I want you to do one thing, contact Himmler, tell him that the news brought by Goebbels is true, and let him return to Berlin at once, ready to take over the position of Führer." Rotai said.

"I'll do it." After Hermann answered, he went out and began to inform Himmler of Himmler's return to Berlin through a special telephone line between him and Himmler at the signal of Rotai.

After this was done, Rotai leaned back in his chair and pondered what could be done to stop the Soviet troops that had already invaded Berlin and withdraw all Allied troops from Germany.

Atomic bomb!

Only by dropping atomic bombs on Moscow, London, Washington, and so on could the Allies stop their offensive and turn the tide of the war, bring them back to the negotiating table, and give the Third Reich a respite.

However, in this era, only the United States was the United States, and they would drop it on Japan a few months later, but Germany did not.

And now even if you have it, you don't have a vehicle at all. In 1945, there were no missiles, no nuclear submarines, and the launch could only be carried out by strategic bombers. But at present, Rotai knows that Germany no longer has air supremacy, and all the fighters flying in the sky are Allied fighters.

The thought of this made Rotai's head tingle. He walked to the side of the bed with a helpless face and slowly fell asleep

Within a day, Himmler was lured back to Berlin by Goebbels and Hermann. This is definitely good news for Rotai.

He made some arrangements, and as soon as Himmler stepped into the underground command room, a kind of soldier arrested him, and the SS skillfully removed the capsule poison from his teeth. (To be continued......) u
