The early spring morning light shines into the Prime Minister's Palace, plastering the beautifully decorated floors and walls with a layer of glare. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hitler leaned back on the sofa, his gray-blue eyes staring out the window at a verdant green pine, but if one approached him, his eyes were hollow, and his attention was clearly not focused on the scenery in front of him. Although it has been 2 full days since Fang Yan rejected him, Hitler still can't let go, and whenever he thinks of the situation that night, his heart is full of mixed feelings, and he is indescribably uncomfortable and entangled.

More than half a month ago, Hitler had no intention of getting rid of Raeder as he had done with Blomburg. Because he had high hopes for Fang Yan's future development: as long as the latter developed in the fleet for another three to five years, he would be able to accumulate enough prestige and influence among the officers and men at the grassroots level, and then the National Socialist Party would be able to overhead Raeder from the bottom up and truly take over the navy. Hitler still has a little respect for Raeder, an old professional soldier with both talent and demeanor, and allowing the former to surrender power and retire on his own with dignity can be regarded as a good story of sincere cooperation between the traditional Wehrmacht and the emerging National Socialist Party, carrying forward the past and forging ahead into the future, and finally ending well.

However, what Hitler did not expect was that Raeder would use extremely drastic measures to assert his power. Fang Yan was transferred from the first-line fleet, which had close contact with the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, and took up a post under Raeder's nose; The scope of his interpersonal public relations suddenly changed from tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to hundreds of people in the office, and most of them were Raeder's henchmen. This made it impossible for Hitler to remain calm.

For Hitler, Fang Yanshi was an indispensable link in his peaceful takeover of naval power. At present, there is no other person in the navy who is admired and fascinated by the vast number of officers and men at the grassroots level like Fang Yan, and who is also loyal to him Hitler and the National Socialist Party.

Although the commander of the submarine force, Dönitz, was also a staunch follower of Hitler, with the surprise attack on Scapa Bay and the two great victories in the Norwegian naval battle, the fleet faction in the German navy had completely overwhelmed the submarine faction, so Dönitz was only an insignificant supporting role, and could not control the situation within the navy at all. Fang Yan's targeted suppression this time undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Hitler, who intended to get his hands on the navy: his tentacles reaching into the navy were cut off, and it was difficult to complete the transfer of power through the initial strategy.

In the face of Raeder's fierce response, Hitler, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally couldn't help but explode. The reason why he had tolerated Raeder's maverick under the banner of National Socialism was that the two powerful enemies of the French and British navies had to deal with the latter; Now that the British fleet was in despair, and Italy, which was on par with the French navy, was ready to enter the war, Germany's victory at sea was assured, and Raeder lost his usefulness. In this case, Hitler finally showed his cold and hideous side, and since this stumbling block was so ignorant of current affairs, then bulldozing it was the best choice!

According to Hitler's plan, the action to bring down Raeder would be done by Fang Yan. On the one hand, he really doesn't have a few trustworthy and reliable personnel in the navy, and on the other hand, Fang Yan and Raeder have a close relationship, and it is not easy to be vigilantly detected by the other party when he traps Raeder. As for whether Fang Yan will attack Raeder, Hitler is more than 90% sure: as long as Fang Yan looks at Raeder's suppression of himself, and then looks at Hitler's promise of the rank of lieutenant general and the future commander-in-chief of the navy, how to choose?

However, it was this sure thing that changed in the end. Fang Yan's attitude surprised Hitler, and the reasons he gave were difficult for Hitler to agree with. It is true that the U.S. Navy is indeed the greatest imaginary enemy of the German Navy in the future, but this does not mean that the two armies will soon meet each other -- how many years have Japan and the United States been competing with each other in the past? Isn't there nothing wrong in the Pacific now?

What's more, Roosevelt, the warmonger president, only had one year left in his term, and by the beginning of 1941 he would be a full-term two. In the nearly 200 years since the founding of the United States, no president has been elected for the third term. When someone else comes up, Germany can extend an olive branch to North America and make peace with the other side with the common goal of carving up the British colonies!

Thinking of Fang Yan's overly whimsical brain circuit, Hitler became angry and angry. Because of his inaction, Hitler could no longer find the right person to pull Raeder off the horse.

Although the Gestapo can do something out of nothing to frame him, Raeder's reputation is far from comparable to that of ordinary generals, and there are a large number of loyal subordinates around him who are willing to try their best to clarify for him, and he cannot be defeated without real evidence. Hitler found that his decision to oust Raeder from power had been aborted because of Fang Yan's lack of cooperation. What could be more frustrating and humiliating for Hitler, who wielded supreme power?

"My Führer, are you still angry about General Brom? I've told you before that he doesn't deserve your trust in him at all. With the help of your strength, he has risen rapidly in the navy, but his heart is set on Raeder, and this disloyal person is fortunate not to join our party, otherwise he would have been the second Ernst Röhm! Bowman walked into the office of the Chancellery with a stack of documents in his hand, and hurriedly took the opportunity to give Hitler eye medicine and said.

In the past few days, Baumann has only felt that the favor he has received has increased dramatically, and Hitler's attitude towards him has obviously been much better than before, and yesterday he was even more warm to him. Bauman understood that this was the result of Hitler's betrayal by those whom he trusted most, and therefore cherished the loyal and diligent people around him. In addition to the surprise intersection and the joy of the heart, Bauman spared no effort to defeat Fang Yan in order to take advantage of the victory and chase Fang Yan out of Hitler's heart. Only in this way will Bowman's position be as stable as Mount Tai and will never face the threat of Xingchen falling out of favor.

Hitler's eyes flashed, and his originally scattered gaze gradually became condensed. He was very clear about Baumman's little thoughts, but even so, Hitler could not help but follow Bauman's words and produce the emotions that the latter wanted. Because what Fang Yan did was too annoying to him. This was not only a personal disobedience to Hitler, but also a disobedience to his planned political landscape: now that Raeder was still in the position of commander-in-chief of the navy, the National Socialist Party did not know how much time it would take for the Navy!

"Martin, what documents did you bring with you today?" Hitler gathered his mind and turned to Bowmann. In the midst of the war, Hitler devoted most of his energy to the day-to-day work of the High Command, but he was still the leader of the party, and many internal party affairs still needed to be submitted to him by Baummann, chairman of the Central Office. Despite all the hardships, Hitler refused to delegate any core power in his hands - for Hitler, who had no family or children, power and great things were all he chased.

Baumann took out the first copy from the pile of papers, looked at the cover, handed it to Hitler, and said: "This is a letter from Robert Wagner, the leader of the Baden region, accusing the Minister of Economy, Wal T, of accepting huge bribes from the Baden steel mill to award an order of 350,000 tons of military steel for this year." Bowman paused and then introduced the second document: "This is the complaint of the Polish Governor Franck to the Minister of Economy, Walt." The latter, who expropriated a large amount of timber and coal in Poland at a very low price, sold it at a high price to Czech factories, in which he made a profit of more than 3 million marks, but not a single pfennig of this money went into the treasury of the Ministry of Finance. ”

In the blink of an eye, Bauman told Hitler the gist of the dozen or so documents he had received. More than half of them were accused of abusing power by Val & Tert to embezzle national wealth. Hitler glanced at Bauman, who then avoided the gaze and bowed his head respectfully to look at his toes. The corners of Hitler's mouth curled into a sneer, and he began to turn through the words and documents in his hand, leaving only three points of attention on them, and the rest of his energy was on the political chess game other than the documents.

Three and a half years ago, Val Te-Blom succeeded Schacht as Minister of Economy, which immediately made countless people who wanted to get their hands on this fat shortage jealous, and spent their days calculating how to remove him from power and replace him. In the years that followed, however, Val & Ter's achievements were remarkable, not far from those of Schacht's administration. Those who covet this position can only lie dormant in order to wait and see what happens.

Now, the time has finally been waited for by them. The four-year term of Val & T's rule in power is approaching, Hitler has not publicly stated whether he will stay in office, and his nephew Fang Yan has just angered Hitler's bottom line, which has to give people speculation that the minister of economy may be replaced. The documents presented today are a group of people within the National Socialist Party who are asking for directions. It's just that now only 3 days have passed since Fang Yan lost Hitler's trust, and the regional governors have come to so many documents accusing Valt, how much did Bowman contribute to it?

After pondering for a long time, Hitler slowly spoke: "Order Himmler to launch a secret investigation into these accusations." If anyone spreads the word about it, then whether he wants it or not, I will never spare it. In the end, Hitler was particularly aggravated. Bowman's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said yes. He knew that Hitler was warning himself that if he reported to the outside world in the future, the other party would not let him go easily.

However, the stone-throwing question still worked after all. Hitler's attitude towards Fang Yan and Walter is evident in the fact that Hitler asked Himmler to initiate an investigation. Thinking of this, Bowman's mood became comfortable again, after so many years, he was finally expected to overturn the mountain of the Brom family on his head.
