Chapter 478: Rastenburg

Chapter 478:

A Bf 108 Taifun transport plane was parked at the airport, and the ground staff and crew waited silently. This transport aircraft, which entered service in 1934, has been converted into a medium-sized passenger aircraft with seats for use by officers at the Wehrmacht's headquarters in Tsosen.

Colonel Stauffenberg stood in front of the plane, facing the German soldiers at the airfield, stopped his steps, suddenly turned around, and said to Xiao Mubai and Colonel Steve beside him: "I thought for a long time, I should still go to the wolf's den myself." ”

"It's important that I see with my own eyes how Hitler came to an end." Colonel Stauffenberg said solemnly.

"I think, Heinrich, you can understand me." Without waiting for Xiao Mubai to speak, Colonel Stauffenberg looked at him with deep eyes and asked in a sincere tone.

Xiao Mubai was blocked by Stauffenberg and couldn't say a word, at this moment, the plane was about to take off, what else could he say in front of everyone, could it be that there was a hypnosis or brainwashing on the scene.

"Steve, I want to give you this task. You command me in the staff of the reserve army, and if you wait for me for four hours, I will be back from Berlin at once. After saying to Xiao Mubai, Colonel Stauffenberg said to Colonel Steve on the side.

Steve was ready to go to the wolf's den to kill himself, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Stauffenberg would give up his original plan and prepare to go over in person.

"Stauffenberg, this?"

"Promise me, Steve, that you stay in Berlin and personally command the reserves." Colonel Stauffenberg did not wait for Steve's refusal and again made a sincere request.

"Okay, I promise you, but you're going to be right back." Colonel Steve was helpless, but he could only agree.

When he said this, Colonel Stauffenberg was about to take a step towards the plane, but Xiao Mubai's words followed closely behind him and made him stop and look at him suspiciously.

"Colonel, I think you need to pay attention to one person." Xiao Mubai said to Colonel Steve, who was facing him and waiting for the two of them to get on the plane, and waited for Steve to hear his words and turn his gaze back to him before continuing to speak.

"Major Reimer, who is in charge of the German guard battalion, a die-hard Nazi loyalist, must be disarmed and disarmed if he does not carry out your order to mobilize and order the guard battalion to be stationed in the government and to arrest the SS and Nazi Party officials."

Xiao Mubai paused, and said word by word with a murderous spirit: "When necessary, I even want to kill him to prevent future troubles." ”

Colonel Steve didn't understand why Xiao Mubai was saying this at this time, but it was definitely not a joke, let alone for no reason. As for the military coup, we must not relax, and we must not let go of any Nazi fish that has slipped through the net.

"Understood." Colonel Steve looked at Colonel Stauffenberg and nodded his head without a trace before agreeing.

After doing all this, Xiao Mubai followed Colonel Stauffenberg into the plane.

The plane increased its horsepower and ran wildly on the runway, and after running off the ground, it slid high into the air with a huge roar, and flew in the direction of East Prussia, where Hitler's wolf's lair was.

Ever since he was seated, Colonel Stauffenberg had been looking at the lower right corner.

It was in the direction of Bamberg, whose wife and three children had left their home in Berlin before yesterday to take refuge in Bamberg. If the coup had gone well, they would have been able to escape. Of course, if the coup fails, that's a different story.

On the plane, Xiao Mubai could think of the 14 supplementary battalions of the Berlin Military Region of the Reserve Army, including the German Guard Battalion, Major Lehman of the Guard Battalion, and Heisenberg of the Zehlendorf Supplementary Battalion, all of which were fully armed and ready at this moment.

They must have been anxious and ready to carry out the order, but they did not know what it meant.

At this moment, the entire 14 suburbs around Berlin and 14 supplementary battalions were assembled, and the whole of Berlin was surrounded by nearly 10,000 soldiers.

Until then, absolutely no one will know what will happen, and everyone will think it is a drill.

After nearly four hours in the air, the plane arrived at the airport in the small town of Rastenburg in East Prussia, a few miles from the headquarters in the Wolf's Den, which had been built as a tourist attraction for nearby residents, and the blueprints were completed in September 1940.

Looking down through the plane window, there is a dense endless Görlitz forest, and no one knows where the wolf's den is hidden. Xiao Mubai was a little worried, could the Allied planes accurately find the location in this situation? Maybe you really want him to lead tactically.

It seems that the previous preparations were really not superfluous.

The plane was parked at the huge airfield in Rastenburg, next to a headquarters lieutenant officer, and several soldiers, an 82-barrel car was waiting. Without staying long, the two got into the car and headed straight for the headquarters.

No one knew exactly how large the Wolf's Lair headquarters was, and even if they actually stood in front of it, walking through the miles of paths that crisscrossed it, it was unclear how big the Wolf's Lair really was.

According to intelligence, the headquarters covers an area of about 250 hectares, more than eight times the size of the Eagle's Nest of 30 hectares, with a floor area of nearly 155,000 square meters, of which only 4% are bunkers and other buildings.

All of this is hidden in the forest, and many buildings are camouflaged by Stuttgart's landscaping company by planting artificial trees, camouflage nets, and other forms of greening.

No wonder Allied planes never discovered this place.

This is a complex and huge system project, born before 1950, which can be said to be a wonder of the century.

It was by far the largest of all the headquarters built for Hitler combined, and it cost a lot of manpower and material resources to build it, employing a total of 5,000 workers.

Beginning in September 1940, workers had used up thousands of cubic metres of concrete and built many buildings to meet the needs of Hitler, the staff and guards, the accommodation and catering of guests, as well as the barracks of the guard troops, the rooms for the communications center, roads, paths, railway stations, and airfields.

Xiao Mubai calmly glanced at all this, this was his first time here, if he didn't know the construction of the wolf's den and the deployment of guards, it would definitely be a dead end.

It wasn't until he really got closer to the core of the wolf's den that he knew how big the wolf's den really was and how heavily guarded.

Visitors arriving by car reached the building's first perimeter barrier, known as the "4th Security Zone", which was heavily guarded by soldiers of the Führer's Guard, armed with heavy guns, and watched out for all visitors.

And this is just the first security check that Xiao Mubai and Colonel Stauffenberg have passed through.
