Chapter 395: Incident

Keitel stared at Fang Yan's face, and a sharp and sharp color flashed in his eyes. For a moment, he even thought that the yellow plan had been leaked in advance, otherwise how could Fang Yan grasp the core of this plan in such a short period of time and understand the key points very clearly? However, after thinking about it, Keitel shook his head again and vetoed. This battle plan was only conveyed from the Supreme Command to the group army level half a month ago, and from then until now, Fang Yanren is in Italy, and it is impossible to get access to this top secret of the army.

"General Brom, if you had been admitted to the Prussian Military Academy back then, you would have achieved even greater than you do now." Keitel's expression was complicated, and he said with regret and slight astringency. Hearing this, Fang Yan saluted solemnly and replied with sincerity: "You think too highly of me. The army is full of stars and talents, and even if I am lucky enough to join, it will only be a dispensable role. What's more, both the navy and the army are soldiers who serve Germany, and we have never joined the military for the sake of a position of power. ”

Hitler listened silently beside him, and a little melancholy and sigh also floated in his heart. Shortly after Hitler got out of the Munich prison, he wanted Fang Yan to join his party, but the latter was already a reserve officer in the navy at that time, and he could only miss the swastika armband due to military decrees.

If Fang Yan had been able to become a member of the National Socialist Party, then he would have been the national leader of the SS at this time: compared to the former chicken farmer who wore disc glasses and could not be found in the crowd, Fang Yan first had an absolute advantage in image. Such an SS leader would not only be able to achieve excellent publicity at home and abroad, but would also be able to provide the most perfect interpretation of the theory of racial superiority and inferiority propagated by the National Socialist Party.

In addition, judging from Fang Yan's current military talent, if the SS Army were directly commanded by him, there was a high probability that the result would not be the current situation where the Army despised it was as a greenhouse flower.

Hitler clearly remembered that during several offensive and defensive exercises held in the early spring of this year, three newly formed Waffen-SS divisions were educated by the Wehrmacht with half of its strength and completely destroyed them seven times, which made him feel embarrassed in front of the Army General Headquarters. Halder and Rundstedt even refused to allow the Waffen-SS divisions to be included in the first wave of the attack on France, instead advocating that they be fully armed and serve as reserves in the company of second-rate divisions that were not yet fully equipped.

In order to relent, Hitler had to promise that his private army would unconditionally obey the command of the former, and that the army command would punish those who violated the order according to the law. For Hitler, who had intended to build up an armed force to rival the army, nothing could have been more frustrating and humiliating than this statement.

Thinking of this, Hitler felt even more that he wanted to take back the lost chess piece, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded at Fang Yan and said, "The situation is as you judged." The battlefield of the Low Countries will be the main elite of the coalition forces head-on, which is not suitable for naval operations with limited scale, and Army Group A that breaks through from the middle lane is different. I'm going to let you go to the aid of General Rundstedt and become a direct support force for Army Group, I wonder if you want to? ”

"Thank you to the Führer for your trust, it is my honor to be able to assist Army Group A." Fang Yan happily accepted the order. Army Group A, which was the main force in the implementation of the Yellow Plan, brought together a large number of elite troops, was also a star-studded group: in addition to the most senior group commander Rundstedt, the commander of the Panzer Army, Kleist, the commander of the 4th Army, Kruger, the commander of the 11th Army, Liszt, and the commander of the 3rd Air Force, Kesselring, were all talented senior generals. It is completely worthy of Fang Yan's support. And Fang Yan's old acquaintance Guderian is also in this unit, and he is commanding the 19th Panzer Army, the most elite of Germany, at this time, and is confidently preparing for the battle.

For Fang Yan, who wants to join the army, this place is obviously the most suitable place. And the establishment of Army Group A, which he directly belonged to, strengthened this point even more, which allowed Fang Yan to easily meet with the commanders of various army groups, and the probability of getting along with them increased significantly. Fang Yan found that the appointment that Hitler had arranged for him was close to perfection, but Fang Yan couldn't understand Hitler's intention to do so, did he have any other plans?

"No matter, let's get the most important thing in front of us done." Fang Yan settled down and secretly decided. No matter what countermeasures are taken, he needs to complete the current mission of supporting the army perfectly, otherwise serving in the High Command this time will really fulfill Reddell's wish, and let him justifiably get an excuse to suppress himself. After a few more words, Fang Yan immediately offered to leave. Hitler's attitude was really abnormal today, and Fang Yan felt it necessary to ask his uncle W. Erter to see if anything had happened that he did not know.

The National Assembly building is located less than one mile away from the Prime Minister's Office, and the National Assembly is also the official office of the Cabinet Ministers. At noon, Fang Yan took advantage of the break to come here and walked up the third staircase with ease. Fang Yan knew that due to the large number of affairs, Cheap Shu Huang Wa Erte had always stayed in the office during the lunch break; In order to make more money, Walter never cared about any busyness.

The knock on the door echoed, accompanied by Fang Yan's call, and to his slight surprise, there was no response from Waelt in the room. Fang Yan tried to turn the doorknob, but he successfully pushed open the door of the purple wood room, and looked around, only to see that Walt was lying on the bed in the cubicle, and an empty red wine bottle was lying at the foot of the bed, still exuding a strong smell of wine around.

"Hmm...... Who is it?! Perhaps Fang Yan turned around and closed the door a little louder, and the unsleeping Wa Ert quickly woke up from the bed, and when he saw the person clearly, the angry and vigilant look subsided from his face. Seeing this, Fang Yan's brows furrowed, and he said, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Drinking and having a hangover in the office at noon and forgetting to lock the door is not your usual thing at all! ”

Valter's lips trembled, the expression on his face was bitter and frustrated, and he was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Anyway, it's unavoidable, and it's okay to tell you now." The Führer has decided to remove me from office, and it is expected that the order will be formally issued in September of this year, when my four-year term expires. In the last two days, I really can't work as hard as before, so I can only comfort myself with wine. ”

"The Yuan wants to remove you from power?" Fang Yan was suddenly startled when he heard this, and immediately asked with some eagerness.

Over the years, although Fang Yan has made a lot of achievements in the military world, his foundation is still on the side of the family that is doing business. If it weren't for the scorching surname of Brom, Fang Yan would only be regarded as a younger major general, and at most he would have some worthless afflictions with the top of the National Socialist Party. What's more, Fang Yan also has to rely on the family's industrial factories to realize many of the ideas in his heart, not to mention that Fang Yan launched the two main carrier-based aircraft with the help of Gotha Airlines, which fundamentally changed the fate of the German Navy!

As the powerful Minister of Economy in the Berlin Cabinet, Wärt is undoubtedly the family's most important Optimus Pillar. Once it loses power and falls, Rudolph's huge industry will not only lose the support and protection of the center, but may even face a fierce counterattack and liquidation by his successor. You must know that when the official reaches the level of W&Erter, the struggle between the high-level has long been life-and-death, and the person who later ascended to the position must have been secretly jealous and hated W&Elt for a long time, and once he took power, it is not impossible to take full revenge on his predecessor!

"Where did you hear about such important news, uncle?" Fang Yan tried to calm down, and asked again in a calm voice. "Sadr is my secret confidant, and he secretly told me about the information he had three days ago. ”

"Since late February this year, the Gestapo has been secretly collecting evidence of my grey income. And this operation was ordered by Himmler himself, and it was done quietly until recently, when al-Sadr noticed the clues. I had given Himmler so many green lights for the supply of Waffen-SS equipment, and there was no reason for him to investigate me in this way, so it could only have been an order from the Führer. Wort said in a deep voice.

Fang Yan took a deep breath, and there was a bit of pain between his eyebrows. Originally, he had planned to ask Wolter about what was happening to Hitler recently, but he didn't expect to run into such a bad thing.

Regarding the crisis mentioned by Uncle Cheap, Fang Yan already believed it seven or eight points at this time. Because he knew that Hitler was an extremely powerful dictator, and in the face of the Brom Industries Group, which had swelled into the fifth largest Qatar in Germany under the escort of Walter, Hitler was afraid that he had long been afraid and was ready to suppress and weaken to ensure his power.

Thinking of Hitler's inexplicable preferential treatment of himself this morning, Fang Yan felt more and more that this was Hitler's compensation to the Brom family after he made up his mind to depose Wolt--anyway, it would take at least 10 years for him, a major general, to become the commander of the powerful services, but Wolter was immediately dismissed, and his entire family could no longer become a huge gatekeeper that even Hitler cared about.

As for the pretext for this action, Hitler did not have to think about it at all: he would only need to slap the evidence collected by the Gestapo in the face of Värt, who would have sifted through chaff and cried for a dignified resignation, even if he was not paralyzed on the spot!
