Chapter 480:

Over there, Colonel Stauffenberg walked to the desk and dialed to the relay station in the Wolf's Den communication room: "Operator, help me get to the office of Major General Albricht of the War Department." ”

"Wait a minute!"

Major General Albricht of the War Department was waiting anxiously when he heard the phone ringing: "This is Major General Albridget's office", and then the voice of Colonel Stauffenberg was heard.

"Major General Albricht, Himmler is not in the conference room, I am ready, please apply for execution." Colonel Stauffenberg said in a low voice.

"Don't hang up!" Major General Albrecht admonished, holding the microphone and saying to Major General Oblett on the side: "Stauffenberg said that Himmler was not present at the meeting, and he asked to continue the mission. ”

"Call Baker." Major General Olblitt replied.

Major General Albricht immediately picked up another phone and dialed Admiral Beck at his villa on the outskirts of Berlin.

Admiral Baker was gathering with the Black Band, waiting for the news to come, when he heard the phone ringing and immediately picked it up: "I'm Baker." ”

"Himmler was not present." Major General Albricht said.

Hearing this, Admiral Baker closed his eyes in frustration, and after a short moment he said to the crowd watching him: "Himmler was not present. ”

Time seems to stand still, and it is an extremely difficult choice for these big shots.

Lieutenant General Fromm continued in the Wolf's Den room: "The logistics system of the Reserve Army shows that our gasoline reserves are decreasing, which also means that the vast majority of our tanks will not be able to start. ”

It took a full three seconds for Major General Albricht to hear Admiral Baker's brief reply, "No." He was silent for a second at the news, and quickly picked up another phone to relay the message to Colonel Stauffenberg: "They said the mission was interrupted. ”

Colonel Stauffenberg was silent, and at this moment he remembered what Heinrich had said before, that those politicians were cowardly cowards, that none of the military coups led by politicians were successful, and that in the end they needed to be acted by these young officers.

"What about your opinion?" Colonel Stauffenberg asked with a deep groan.

Major General Albricht's answer was important and unimportant, because even if he was opposed, he intended to carry it out without hesitation, and it would be better if Major General could agree, at least not alone, and the War Ministry finally had someone who could lead it.

When Major General Albrecht heard this, he turned his head to look at Oblitt who was sitting in his office chair with his head down, and then replied in a low voice to Stauffenberg: "Go ahead." ”

This sentence was so resounding that the lone ranger-like Colonel Stauffenberg was greatly encouraged.

At this time, there was a sound of "stand up" in the conference room, and Colonel Stauffenberg hurriedly hung up the phone, and then saw Hitler walking in the front and walking out of the conference room, obviously the military briefing meeting had ended.

Xiao Mubai has been hesitating whether to assassinate Lao Xi.

The key is that Lao Xi is less than three meters in front of him at the moment, as long as he gently taps the trigger of the pistol, without three bullets, this war maniac who terrifies hundreds of millions of people will die, and a big hole will appear in his head, killing him on the spot, and he doesn't even need to be rescued.

And if this opportunity is lost, it will not be easy to get so close to Hitler. Another point is that Xiao Mubai does not believe in the urine nature of the conspirators and politicians, who are likely to interrupt their mission because of Himmler's absence.

In the end, whether Colonel Stauffenberg will insist on it is also two theories.

Finally, if Hitler is shot and assassinated on the spot, the key Lao Xi will die, but the follow-up task of launching a military coup to overthrow the Nazi German government will be difficult, and he will shoot and assassinate Lao Xi on the spot, and the Nazi Party will never let go of Colonel Stauffenberg, who is also still in the wolf's den.

This is completely disrupting all the plans and reinventing the wheel, and more importantly, without a follow-up plan, Xiao Mubai himself is unable to protect himself, let alone any follow-up tasks.

It's a pity that time didn't make Xiao Mubai hesitate for long, his pistol was hidden in his sleeve, and the conference room was interrupted by Lao Xi's cough. Note that it's an interruption, not an end, which also means there's a next chance.

Waiting for Lao Xi to go out in a hurry, Xiao Mubai hurriedly picked up Colonel Stauffenberg's briefcase, and it was not taken by the others.

Facing Xiao Mubai at this time, Colonel Stauffenberg was very embarrassed, because what he said before is now confirmed one by one, and politicians are hesitant and hesitant, in short, they absolutely cannot believe it.

"Heinrich, I should have believed you." Colonel Stauffenberg patted Xiao Mubai on the shoulder.

Xiao Mubai said to him: "Colonel, we still have a chance, the meeting will continue at 12 o'clock, this is only a temporary interruption of the meeting." ”

In fact, as Xiao Mubai said, this was only a temporary suspension of the meeting, and the reason was not that Hitler was in physical condition and had a small cough, but that Mussolini, an old fellow, was coming to visit and meet his old partner.

Xiao Mubai didn't know this reason, but he knew that there was indeed such a thing in history, so when he mentioned it to Colonel Stauffenberg, the colonel looked surprised: "Fascisty, Mussolini? ”

Xiao Mubai nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, Mussolini." ”

Colonel Stauffenberg frowned, realizing that Mussolini's unexpected arrival, although it brought unknown variables to the operation, could not prevent the operation from proceeding as usual, and he had already made up his mind to take a desperate gamble, and no one could stop him.

"Even if Kaiser Wilhelm II arrived, he would still die." Colonel Stauffenberg gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

The meeting was interrupted, and the participants had a light lunch in the bunker restaurant, where Hitler did not appear. After a brief lunch break, attendees were given a short break to move freely around the wolf's den, with more people opting for a walk outside on the lower road.

The hour hand pointed to 12 o'clock, that is, it was almost time for the afternoon to resume the meeting, Xiao Mubai and Stauffenberg took the car together and arrived at the conference room of the first security zone again.

At the entrance to the bunker, where several SS officers were gathered for a cigarette and seemed to be discussing the situation at the front, Colonel Stauffenberg walked up to them, and the officers snuffed out their cigarettes and stood upright, hurriedly greeting: "Welcome, Colonel." ”

Colonel Stauffenberg looked at the major, remained silent, and motioned for him to step forward and lead the way.

When the two of them followed into the bunker again, the door was suddenly opened when they turned a corner and passed a room, and a voice came from inside: "The meeting time has been changed to 12:30, Mussolini is arriving by afternoon train, and the senator will have lunch with him." ”

Xiao Mubai's heart moved, could it be that the task given by the system, the condition for overfulfilling was that Mussolini was also assassinated, so it would be fun. If the head of Germany and the leader of Italy in the Axis powers were killed together in the wolf's den, it would be too sour to think about it.

Just really have such an opportunity?
