Fang Yan was stunned with some surprise. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 These days of recuperation in the hospital, he is reflecting on the mistakes he made in the final stage of the Norwegian naval battle, and the casualties of up to 1,500 people on the four aircraft carriers make Fang Yan's heart feel like a boulder, and every time he thinks about it, he is extremely sour and uncomfortable. You must know that this aircraft carrier fleet can be said to be pulled up by Fang Yan single-handedly, most of the officers and technicians among them can be named, now that so many familiar subordinates are spilling blood in the ocean, how can Fang Yan ignore these sacrifices and be indifferent?

"Honorable Führer, I do not feel how well I have performed in the Weser exercise. On the contrary, I grossly underestimated the judgment and execution of the British, so that the air fleet was hit hard at the last moment and had to interrupt the plan to return to the home port with an interruption into the Atlantic. If Marshal Raeder were to dismiss me from my post as commander of the Second Air Force, I would not complain, after all, I am still too young to be the commander of the detachment. Fang Yan said in a deep voice.

Hitler's eyes flashed with astonishment, then he returned to his usual expression and said with a smile: "Jonas, you are too cautious. Where is the reason why a general who won a battle and was wounded in battle and triumphed gloriously, but was suspended from his post and punished? From any point of view, the Norwegian campaign was a glorious feast for the German Navy: Field Marshal Raeder awarded the Knight's Cross to nine officers and soldiers who had distinguished themselves in the campaign, and various promotions and awards were continuous. When you go to the Navy headquarters to report, the harvest will be even richer. ”

Hearing these words, Fang Yan's bitter mood gradually became soothed. He knew that what Hitler said was not a lie, and that while he was still recuperating in the hospital, the Navy began to celebrate the great victory of the Norwegian Campaign: five commanders of the provisional detachment were awarded second-class or first-class commendations, and junior pilots and sailors were also awarded a large number of medals for their respective combat exploits and outstanding performances. In terms of the bereavement of the dead and wounded officers and soldiers, the navy is also extraordinarily generous this time, Fang Yan heard that some people even did not hesitate to take a knife to give themselves a cruel blow, making it look like they were killed by shrapnel, just to get that consolation money for war wounds!

Hitler patted Fang Yan on the shoulder, his eyes full of sincerity and emotion: "Jonas, I have witnessed the whole experience of your rise in the navy as a legend. Without Field Marshal Raeder, it would have been difficult for the German Navy to recreate the splendor of the High Seas Fleet in the past, but without you, the Navy would not have been able to have the victory it has today! If Germany can win the war against Britain, you will be the first hero of Mackensen, and this glorious cause of changing the world order will give you any honor imaginable! ”

Fang Yan smiled. Although he always blamed himself for the outcome of the naval battle, after Hitler's consolation, the heavy meaning just now dissipated. After all, regret is not what Fang Yan wants, only by finding the key to the problem and overcoming it can a general's truly responsible attitude and actions. In a cheerful mood, Fang Yan made an extremely rare joke to Hitler: "My Führer, in the whole of Germany, who can call himself a legend in front of you?" I've done a tiny job at best compared to your merits. ”

Subsequently, at Hitler's request, Fang Yan gave him a detailed account of his experience in this naval battle. Regarding his key calculations in the early stage, as well as his careless decisions in the later stage of the naval battle, Fang Yan did not reserve or deliberately whitewash himself, so he said it as it was. Fang Yan believed that sooner or later Hitler would be able to analyze these points from the known information, and that he had no need or reason to do any guidance or deception.

The melodious bell rang suddenly, and it was extremely clear in the closed room, and Fang Yan suddenly found that the time had unconsciously come to 10 o'clock in the evening. Fang Yan hurriedly apologized to Hitler, and at the same time felt embarrassed in his heart. He pays attention to the rhythm of his daily reports to his superiors, perhaps it was because of the dinner full of ordinary atmosphere before that Fang Yan subconsciously felt that he was a guest at a friend's house, so he completely forgot about refining his language.

Hitler smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind at all, but Fang Yan was no longer embarrassed to waste Hitler's time, and immediately got up and offered to leave. Hitler did not stay, shook hands with Fang Yan and watched him leave. When Fang Yan's footsteps faded to the point that he could no longer be noticed, the smile on Hitler's face faded, and the light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know whether it was expectation, appreciation, sympathy, or pity.

"In order to turn him to our side, my Führer, do you really need to do so much preparations?" Bowman appeared in the room at some point, and said with some unhappiness, "Jonas should know very well what he is doing today. Without your support, he wouldn't be more than a lieutenant colonel now! This has to be replaced by someone else, who has long been grateful to the Führer, and sworn to repay the service. ”

"So Jonas is no ordinary person." Hitler spoke lightly, his voice indifferent but calm, "He never thought of being promoted to the rank of general. But he is 100% confident that he can wear the gold braid and silver star epaulettes. Therefore, for Jonas, I just helped him get what belonged to him in advance, which is not a big reinvention of kindness. Hitler paused, and then said, "Even, Jonas, probably, is not very willing for me to push him." Because this will inevitably brand him with my personal and party background, and it will inevitably put him in an awkward position in front of Marshal Raeder, and he will be unnecessarily suspicious and guarded. ”

Bowman pursed his lips, and it was difficult to hide his disdain and annoyance in his tone: "You have done so much for him, and Jonas still doesn't appreciate it, I really can't imagine what an arrogant mentality this is." This guy also thinks too highly of himself. Even now, he is only a small brigadier general, and there are at least 30 senior officers and above in the active duty of the Navy! This time, Marshal Raeder will also punish him for the mistakes he made in battle, and his position in the navy will be even more prestigious. For the capture of the naval fortress, Jonas can only be a pure supporting role at best, and his current performance and ability are really not up to the Führer's expectations and dedication. ”

"Jonas doesn't have the ability to be a wedge for me to conquer the navy, so who does? Is it still you Martin? Hitler suddenly turned around and looked at Bowman with a fierce look in his eyes. Bauman did not expect such a big reaction from Hitler, and immediately stayed where he was. After a few moments, countless tiny droplets of sweat quickly oozed from his forehead, and his face turned pale from extreme panic.

Speaking of which, Bowman was also a veteran member of the party in 1927. However, he was unable to show off the excellent physical appearance of the Germanic race, and second, he did not have the outstanding talent to take charge of himself, and the reason why he was able to mix with the high position of secretary of the Nazi Central Party Department and become Hitler's trusted confidant was all because of his eagle-dog loyalty and dedication to Hitler. What Hitler told him to do, Bauman would do with tireless energy, and what Hitler did not say, Bauman would try his best to figure out the Führer's mind, and then make enough results to Hitler's satisfaction.

A few years later, Baumann, who had risen to power in this way, had become a complete shadow of Hitler. All his power and position came from Hitler's trust, and if he lost this favor, he would be nothing in the party, the government, and the army. Because of this, Bowman is 120,000 hostile and wary of anyone who might endanger his favored position. Fang Yan, who was also favored by Hitler, soon came into Bowman's field of vision, and with his successive victories in the war, he became the number one threat that most disturbed Bowman.

Twenty days earlier, when Hitler ordered Bauman to immediately send his best doctor to Norway to rescue Fang Yan, Bauman was fully aware that the latter's status in Hitler's mind was far higher than his own. Although Bauman wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of this growing threat, he was even more afraid of Hitler's thunder after the mission was smashed; If Hitler's trust is lost because of this, it is obviously an unwise move to quench his thirst.

On the balance, Bowman chose to save his enemy. His calculation was to first refuse to give others the truth, and then use various means to slowly distort Fang Yan's image in Hitler's eyes. After all, he was like a shadow with Hitler day and night, while Fang Yan was rooted in the army and would not necessarily come to the Chancellery for several months. A lie repeated a thousand times will become the truth, and Bowman asks himself if he can't change Hitler's attitude towards a person?

Today, however, Baumann had just found an opportunity to give Hitler eye medicine, when he was met with an extremely strong and sharp counterattack from the latter. Bowman, who was well versed in Hitler's heart, immediately realized that he had stabbed a hornet's nest, and Hitler had developed anger and even disgust with himself. For Bowman, who is an eagle dog, there is nothing more frightening and terrifying for him. And in the midst of this, Bowman also had a strong resentment and unwillingness in his heart, why did he work hard to make cattle and horses for Hitler for so many years, but the other party was still more towards that young man?

Looking at Bauman's pale face, Hitler, who was angry, couldn't help but soften his heart, he sighed, and said in a slow tone: "You don't realize the value of Jonas at all. The reason why I chose him to be my wedge was not because of his rank and status, but because of the potential he would explode in the next few years, and the old qualifications that he just didn't have now. Only when you understand this will you understand what I am doing today. ”
