Chapter 470: Digging Your Own Grave

Chapter 470:

"It is a great honor for me to meet this officer, who will sacrifice whatever it takes to serve Germany." These were Hitler's first words after meeting Colonel Stauffenberg, and they were still as inspiring and uplifting.

"If only my men could be like you, let him be your role model, he is a model for German officers." The latter were the others in the room, the only senior Wehrmacht General Keitel.

"The Führer, Colonel Stauffenberg, has requested to come here and give us an update on the deployment of the reserve forces to repel the invasion." This was Lieutenant General Fromm, who spoke for the first time after meeting Hitler.

"Invasion?" As Hitler spoke, he was still teasing his dog, looking very relaxed.

"In Normandy, Führer." Lieutenant General Flåm emphasized.

"Yes, Normandy."

Hitler seemed indifferent, even though the Allied offensive was very fierce, but he did not seem to take it to heart, "There is no need to be nervous yet, Marshal Goering assured me that everything is under control, thank you, Colonel." ”

"Führer, I beseech. This is a revised Valkyrie Action Plan and we kindly ask for your consent. Colonel Stauffenberg spoke a second time after the first SS salute.

"You know Wagner, Colonel?"

"Valkyrie, God's handmaiden, adjudicates life and death, cherishes talent, and escapes a painful death." Hitler continued to flip through the pages of the plan, and when he reached the last one, he continued: "A man who cannot understand National Socialism is equally unable to understand Wagner. ”

Xiao Mubai did not know the situation at that time, but when Hitler took out his pen and signed his signature at the end of the plan, it meant that the countdown to the action that ended him began, and the scene was undoubtedly very inspiring.

What an interesting picture, Hitler signed a plan to bury him, so to speak, digging his own grave, what an irony.

At the end, Hitler said something meaningful: "Whatever changes you make, it will be a good deed." ”

At this time, Colonel Stauffenberg's mission was completed.

On the way out of Hitler's office, Lieutenant General Fromm, who had been silent about what had just happened, suddenly spoke up and said to him: "I don't know what you're brewing, and I don't want to know, but when the music stops, I'll be glad if Keitel doesn't grab a chair." ”

Looking directly at Colonel Stauffenberg, Lieutenant General Fromm said the last thing and then drifted away, leaving Colonel Stauffenberg to ponder.

On the way out, the car drove on the rugged mountain road of the Bavarian mountains, and Colonel Stauffenberg recounted his meeting with Hitler verbatim, and finally asked Xiao Mubai two questions.

The first: "What did Hitler's last words mean?" Did he know that we were going to assassinate him? Or was one of the conspirators secretly informing him? ”

The second: "Lieutenant General Flåm seems to already know something, but he clearly has no objection and cannot refuse, it's just that he and General Keitel seem to have some contradictions, and it doesn't seem to matter." ”

Colonel Stauffenberg seemed to be talking to himself, but how could Xiao Mubai let go of this opportunity, the colonel was obviously worried about Valkyrie's operation, not so much about the consequences of the assassination as about the consequences of not succeeding in the assassination.

Hitler, that was the war maniac who exterminated 6 million Jews.

"Colonel, if Hitler had known that we were going to assassinate him, we would have been dead, let alone just met Hitler. As the leader of a country, he would never put himself in danger. Xiao Mubai analyzed.

"Also, the situation of Lieutenant General Fromm, though troublesome, is not invulnerable. When the action begins, the arrow has to be fired, and when the time comes, we will either be supporters or opponents of the action, and there is no other way but to kill and kill. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Mubai's tone was cold and murderous: "Any obstacle in front of the action, we will step on it." ”

Colonel Stauffenberg nodded secretly.

Two days later, Colonel Kirheim, who had returned from the Czechoslovak Arsenal, presented the results of his trip to the two men in a secret room.

"There is no problem in the world that cannot be solved, as long as high-energy explosives are used carefully, after the explosion, all evidence will be lost." Colonel Kirheim swore that as one of the very few conspirators who were proficient in explosives, his words carried a lot of weight.

Colonel Kirheim's small eyes behind his glasses burst out with strong emotion, as if he foresaw the moment when the explosives exploded and Hitler was dead, this is a man who is fanatical about carrying out assassinations, Xiao Mubai has no doubt that the assassination of Hitler has fully satisfied his heart.

Pointing to something on the table, Colonel Kirheim looked at Colonel Stauffenberg and said: "Two packs of 975 grams of high explosives are enough to blow up an armored car, your detonating device, wires, pencils. ”

After a pause, he picked up a pen-like thing on the table and continued: "This acid pen cap is the starting device, and when you're ready, stick a pencil to the bottom of the detonating device, like this. ”

With that, Colonel Kirheim made a demonstration and inserted the pencil into the cap: "Insert the whole device into the high explosives, crush the cap, and get out of there." As he spoke, he picked up a steel tong and pressed it down gently, making a crisp sound.

"If the acid gets into the wire and touches the firing pin, you have to get as far away from it as possible." Pointing to the drawings of the explosive device on the table, Colonel Kirheim looked directly at Colonel Stauffenberg and issued a strong warning.

Admiral Beck on the side looked at the things on the table in a daze, this kind-faced old man is not as simple as imagined, since the army retired from power for a few years, the inner loss can be imagined, the assassination of Hitler, not only to regain power, but also to save Germany.

In a certain sense, if the assassination of Hitler succeeds and saves Germany, which is gradually failing, he can go down in history with this name.

He is also a person who is keen on fame and fortune, but he is not the same as ordinary people.

"How long do we have?" Colonel Stauffenberg asked with great calm, interrupting the reverie of several people.

"Theoretically there should be a thirty-minute delay, but given the heat of the wolf's den, I'll give you ten minutes, fifteen minutes at most." Colonel Kirheim replied.

"It's hard to be on time, and if you can make sure that there are no mistakes, Hitler would have died a long time ago in the previous four assassinations, and he wouldn't have lived to this day." At this time, Xiao Mubai, who had been silent, looked directly at Colonel Kilheim and suddenly spoke.

In Xiao Mubai's opinion, Colonel Kirheim was too confident, and historically, his explosives were not so powerful at all.
