The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and before 8 o'clock in the morning, the wharf of Wilhelmshaven is already densely crowded, as vast as mountains and seas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Countless flags with red backgrounds flew in the sky, enveloping the entire pier in an atmosphere of warm ecstasy, and even from thousands of meters away, the people's cheers could still be clearly heard.

Fang Yan stood upright on the side of the deck with everyone else, star-blue eyes looking intently at the familiar harbor not far away; Although his face was not as enthusiastic and excited as the people next to him, there was also a bit of heartfelt joy and emotion. With the glorious record of sinking 4 enemy battleships, 1 battle cruiser, 3 aircraft carriers, 5 heavy cruisers, 5 light cruisers, 27 destroyers, and 24 merchant ships totaling 140,000 tons, the triumphant return of the ocean-going fleet is undoubtedly a miracle condensation; If it weren't for Fang Yan who single-handedly created this fleet and personally participated in the battle, I am afraid that it would be difficult to imagine this shocking victory. When the aircraft carrier slowly sailed into the berth and docked, the cheers in Fang Yan's ears were like a tsunami, and as far as the eye could see, at least 200,000 people gathered here layer by layer, waving the naval flag and the national flag and shouting loudly to the officers and soldiers on the battleship!

"The taste of receiving the cheers of the crowd is really addictive! No wonder Stalin, Kim Dapang, Mao Taizu, President Chiang, Ceausescu and others were so fond of promoting their own personality cult. Fang Yan suddenly retracted his mind and muttered with palpitations. In just a short period of time, Fang Yan actually bred an arrogant and arrogant mood under the warm cheers of the people: as if he was really a saint in the world, and the opponent British and American navies were just a group of native chickens and tiles that could be destroyed at the snap of a finger. Thinking that Hitler has now received a hundred times more praise and praise than himself, Fang Yan can't help but worry and fear in his heart: at the center of the cult of personality, how long can Hitler's sober consciousness last?

"Hey, there's a pocket battle cruiser on the slipway...... Deutschland! Isn't it time for her to break diplomatic relations in the North Atlantic? Bo Mei, who was scanning the crowd, suddenly looked stunned, and then stared at the large warship not far away and said in astonishment. On closer inspection, the warship did not appear to have suffered any significant damage, except for a twin secondary gun on the starboard side, which twisted and exploded. Seeing this scene, Bo Mei couldn't help but wonder in her heart: this level of damage did not affect the break of friendship at all, why did she return from the hunting sea?

"General, why did we return to the country after we put the wounded ship in Murmansk?" A familiar, clear, magnetic voice rang in Bommy's ears. Bo Mei turned his head, only to see a bitter and helpless look on his chief of staff's face, and said: "This kind of order to put the sword into the sheath when the battle is not fully successful, Marshal Raeder will not give it." Therefore it can only be the will of the Führer. Obviously, fearing that the sinking of the warship with the name 'Germany' might deal a major blow to the morale of the people, the Führer ordered the Deutsches to return home with a small break, and at the same time to publicize her achievements at home. In the final analysis, the Führer's understanding of naval strategy was still quite inadequate, and his eyes were always fixed on politics and land. ”

Bo Mei bowed slightly, and there was a hint of appreciation and softness in his eyes. Fang Yan, who was stared at by this eye, faintly felt that something was wrong: Bo May's understanding of Hitler should be far less than his own, and he definitely didn't think about the reason he just said in advance. Soon, however, Fang Yan completely put this pimple behind him: the military band on the shore played the "Deutsche Song", and he was about to follow Bo Mei ashore to be summoned by the commander.

A red carpet was laid out on the dock road, and naval honor guards armed with rifles stood on either side with their heads held high; At the end of the carpet more than 100 meters away, Hitler, dressed in the uniform of a corporal of the old Imperial Army, wore the Iron Cross of the First Class, which he was proud of all his life, and greeted the triumphant arrival of the meritorious officers and men of the Ocean Fleet on the platform with a smile like a spring flower. Since Hitler had vowed at the outbreak of war on 1 September that he would never take off his uniform until Germany had won a final victory, he was to observe this oath in all public places. However, this gray old costume of Nohara stood out against the backdrop of the high-ranking generals behind him: and this did not detract from Hitler's aura in the slightest, but gave him a unique style as a leader.

When Fang Yan and the others came to the platform, Hitler raised his right arm and pressed his hand slightly; In just a few breaths, the cheers of the people just now, like a landslide and tsunami, were completely silent, and only the sound of hunting and churning of the flag in the morning breeze remained. Fang Yan, who was in the central core, was shocked to see it, this ability to command the people simply broke through the sky: even the Roman pope with supreme power in the Middle Ages was afraid that it was nothing more than that!

"On behalf of the motherland and the nation, I welcome you back, glorious warriors of Germany!" Hitler raised his right arm with a resolute expression and spoke loudly in a neutral voice. Under the leadership of Bo Mei, more than 20 representatives of meritorious officers and soldiers responded with traditional naval etiquette. Seeing this, Propaganda Minister Goebbels showed a slightly annoyed look, but in the eyes of Raeder, who held the marshal's scepter, showed a look of satisfaction and approval.

Hitler himself did not seem to care about the fact that the navy remained self-contained under the Nazi Party. He took a deep breath, then turned into the fixed microphone and began to do his old job of speaking, which he had started with. Through 16 loudspeakers installed overnight on the docks, the Führer's voice was clearly heard in the ears of every German citizen present. As in every previous speech, Hitler's sonorous and powerful criticism of the British warmonger government and his passionate praise for the brave fighting of the ocean-going fleet seemed to have a magical power to the hearts of the people, making the pride and blood of countless citizens present. For a time, everyone hated to follow this returning heroic fleet out to sea and tear the vicious and vicious British bandits to pieces.

Fang Yan concentrated his mind and forcibly filtered Hitler's extremely inflammatory words, and after listening for a while, he keenly derived useful information from them. In his speech, Hitler attacked not only the Neville Chamberlain government, but the whole of Britain: he repeatedly stressed that Britain was "the main culprit for centuries of war in Europe" and that all peace-loving Europeans should unite to drown this "great cancer of the civilized world" in the angry waters of the Atlantic. From these words, Fang Yan could already tell that Hitler was not prepared to accept it after the current victory. Now, even if Britain is interested in peace talks, Hitler, based on naval victories, will never let go of this John Bull easily.

"This is a change in the course of history that has already begun, right?" Fang Yan thought to himself in his heart. Historically, after the end of the Polish campaign, Hitler's attitude towards the West tended to be peaceful, but it was not Chamberlain who lost trust in Hitler who was determined to fight in this world, but Hitler, who was ready to make persistent efforts and take advantage of your illness to kill you. However, Fang Yan had already been fully prepared for this, and he also did not think of giving Britain, an out-and-out hypocrite and true bandit, a chance to give it any decent truce.

Ten minutes of speech passed in a hurry, and the excited audience once again erupted in deafening cheers. While paying homage to the Führer, people cursed Britain, which was the first to declare war on Germany, and what was originally a ceremony to welcome the return of the navy's meritorious officers and men turned out to be a meeting of the anti-British struggle. After a short time, Hitler once again laid his hands on the crowd to quiet down, and when several adjutants presented a large number of medals and even epaulettes to military uniforms, almost all the meritorious officers and soldiers held their breath, staring at the shining honors that were close at hand.

Hitler received a pair of gold-spike braided admiral's epaulettes from his adjutant's hand, and the corners of his mouth could not help but show a meaningful smile. This time, in his capacity as the supreme commander of the armed forces, he personally conferred honors on the meritorious officers and men, not only to boost morale and enhance the propaganda effect, but also to dig into the walls of the monolithic navy and strive to cultivate a group of forces that are most loyal to him. Obviously, if Hitler had promoted his officers and soldiers to military ranks and awarded medals, then the person who received the favor would naturally have this favor on Hitler, and would have decided that it was Hitler's favor rather than Raeder's encouragement that the honor was obtained. Although this does not necessarily break through the solid fortress of the navy, the presence of these people can be nailed into the navy like a wedge, and sooner or later it will play their due role.

A few steps away, there was a slight uncertainty in Raeder's eyes. In fact, he was not the old-fashioned Prussian fossil that he had always regarded himself as a traditional soldier: he inherited Tirpitz's mantle, and he had a keen sense of politics and Hitler's calculations. However, Raeder could not stop Hitler's righteous actions at all, and he could only choose to forbear.

"Vice Admiral Hermann-Bomay, who was deeply and steady, always maintained a high level of seamanship and accurate battlefield judgment during the fleet's voyage, and finally enabled the fleet to return completely after the great victory. Now promoted to Admiral and awarded the Knight's Cross. Hitler spoke in a good mood. Bo Mei took the things handed by Hitler with both hands with a solemn expression, and his eyes still couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement: no matter what, he can be regarded as climbing to the top of the ranks of professional soldiers, and since then he has been the number one person in the entire army!
