Chapter 367: Power Calculation (2)

"It's hard to destroy the current situation of the Navy that is self-contained, and to expect the old officers to make changes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoThey are either long-time comrades-in-arms who have been on the same side as Raeder, or they are close confidants that Raeder has carefully promoted, and these people respect and respect their commander-in-chief even more than me, the commander of the three armed forces, and it is clear what choice they will make in the final camp. ”

Hitler looked at Fang Yan's back in the courtyard and said slowly: "Therefore, my hope can only fall on those young soldiers born in this century. They matured in the National Socialist movement and had a strong national and revolutionary character; If this new blood can get rid of the control of the old officer group, it will inevitably fundamentally change the existing camp power structure of the navy, and the existing independent situation of the navy will also be broken. Jonas Brom has been my indispensable leader in this process. ”

Bowman stood silently aside, his yellow-green eyes glittering. He knew how to read words and colors, and he knew that he couldn't touch Hitler's mold now, so he could only hide all his plans in his belly.

"Now Jonas's prestige in the hearts of young officers and men has reached its highest height with the victory in two decisive naval battles. Everyone was thrilled and admired by his dazzling achievements and honors, and his heroic and soaring image of battle had long since overshadowed most of the old officers who followed the rules and followed the light of Raeder, the father of the navy. ”

Hitler said unhurriedly, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "As long as Jonas falls into my camp and uses his great influence among the young military community to spread nationalism, it will not be a year before the foundation on which Raeder relied to maintain naval independence will be completely shaken by the change of thinking at the grassroots level." At that time, the navy will become a leak for the party's arbitrary infiltration forces, and when Field Marshal Raeder announces his retirement in a few years, this branch of the military will be completely ours. ”

"But will Jonas do what you want? For so many years, he remained politically silent and neutral, neither shouting for us nor recommending even a loyal party member to join the ranks of naval officers. It can be said that he has completely failed your expectations. Bowman found an opportunity to say again.

Hitler's face was calm, and he said: "That was when Jonas still had illusions about the Wehrmacht, and he would eventually come to his senses." Only by relying on me and relying on the party's cultivation can he fully realize the ideal in his heart. And the traditional army represented by Raeder will only drag him back with things like qualifications and rules with a rotten atmosphere! Speaking of this, Hitler's face showed undisguised ridicule and contempt: "The vast majority of these high-ranking generals who claim to be elites should be swept into the dustbin of history." They are no longer qualified to continue to be active in the arena of power. ”

Early the next morning, Fang Yan broke away from Sylvia's obsession early, carefully tidied up his appearance in front of the mirror, and then went straight to the Navy Headquarters building in the center of the city. After a day of repair, it was time for me to meet Raeder to report on his work. Last night's conversation with Hitler at the Chancellery made Fang Yan still have some expectations for today's debriefing, after all, judging from the results, the German Navy's performance in the Norwegian campaign was excellent, and although he had the impulse to fight in the final stage of the battle, he also made a lot of achievements.

As one of the core centers of the German armed forces, there is always no shortage of people in the passages of the naval headquarters building, and Fang Yan walked all the way from the main gate and soon received countless warm wishes with surprises on his face. Although these officers did not have the eloquence of Hitler, and their words were all repetitive and simple words such as "great" and "congratulations", Fang Yan's heart was warm, and he raised his right hand again and again to salute and thank them. Soon, Fang Yan came to the door of Raeder's office, and after knocking lightly on the door twice, a familiar sound of "please come in" immediately came from the room to Fang Yan's ears.

Erich Raeder's face seemed to be a little more tired, and he buried his head in the official document on his desk for a long time before he turned his eyes to the young man in front of him. Raeder smiled, but Fang Yan felt that this smile was obviously a little reluctant, and before Fang Yan could be surprised and confused, Raeder had already motioned for him to sit in front of him.

"Jonas, it's great that you're fully recovered. Four weeks ago, I even thought that I would lose forever your best talent in air and sea warfare, but thanks to God's favor in Germany, you didn't have to rush to the other world. Raeder looked slightly emotional, and said with true feelings. No matter what political ambitions the young man in front of him now contains, he has made an indelible and outstanding contribution to the navy. This time he was able to successfully get out of danger, and Raider, who watched him grow step by step, was still relieved from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency Marshal, I am now able to fight for Germany again." Fang Yan opened his mouth loudly, and his clear and crisp voice clearly expressed his health and heart to the other party. Under Redder's gaze, Fang Yan took out a stack of manuscript paper full of words from his coat and put it on the table, and said, "This is the report on the Norwegian naval battle that I wrote in my spare time while recuperating in the hospital. In this combat operation, our army still exposed many problems that need to be improved. While the General Staff may have done similar work, I hope it will not be ignored and buried. ”

Raeder flipped through the handwritten document, his face quickly changing. As a veteran elite general who has served for more than 40 years, he can see at a glance that the author of this manuscript has spent a lot of effort to analyze and restore the war situation at that time; He not only included intelligence, meteorology, ship conditions, morale and other aspects, but also gave a detailed interpretation of each key order and event from multiple angles. Although much of the information in this report was incomplete because it was written by Fang Yan alone, Raeder only looked at a small part of it and found that there were two gaps in the report submitted by the General Staff that were completely not taken into account.

Is such a model benchmark for studying his profession with all his heart really the kind of person who does not hesitate to use all means to climb up for the sake of status? Raeder's mind was confused, and his original plan became shaken again.

Previously, Raeder had already believed that Fang Yan wanted to rely on Hitler to achieve a high position in the navy, so when he reported to Hitler a few days ago on the summary of the Norwegian campaign, he kept emphasizing Fang Yan's mistakes, making it clear that he wanted to restrain Fang Yan's continued rise. Now, however, Raeder realizes that the situation does not seem to be playing according to the script he planned. If Fang Yan really didn't have the intention of changing his court, wouldn't his suppression just push him into the arms of the National Socialist Party?
