Chapter 301: Christmas (7)
"My dear, I didn't mean to blame you. www.biquge.infoFeeling the arms around her waist tremble, Sylvia was stunned, and then threw a bright and dazzling smile at Fang Yan and said. In her opinion, her husband must have listened to little Chiano's experience, and thought of the knee-jerk of guilt in his heart when he himself had little time to take care of his family recently.
Sylvia hugged Fang Yan's well-proportioned but solid back with her backhand, put her head into his neck socket, and whispered, "I have always hoped that you could stay by my side forever, and every time you leave, you become lost and depressed. However, as you boarded the warship and marched into the ocean, and became a hero and triumphant, I suddenly found that as I watched you from afar on your way to victory and glory, my heart was filled with a feeling of joy that I had never experienced before. Even if you didn't come home to spend time with us, little Alice and I would be so proud of you for seeing your name on the radio and in the newspapers! So little Alice and I have always had a pretty good time. ”
The gloomy color in Fang Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he gradually revealed a few bright looks. Yes, although they have no way of finding out the recent situation of Linna's mother and son, they are hidden in the sea of people, but they can clearly see the current situation of today, who is already a commodore standing in front of the public. And for that independent and strong woman, as long as there is a recent photo of Fang Yan, it is enough to ignite the heartburn in the lonely and cold night. As soon as he thought of this, Fang Yan's heart was relaxed and sour. He held the softness and richness in his arms so quietly, and slowly waited for his heart to calm down in the ticking of the wall clock.
As the night darkens, the lights are still. Before I knew it, the wall clock on the wall was approaching 11 o'clock before the curfew. The silence on the street outside the floor-to-ceiling windows hasn't changed in the slightest because it's Christmas Eve. Sylvia, who was nestled in Fang Yan's arms, moved lightly and said in a low voice, "The children are already asleep." Fang Yan's eyes met his wife's emerald green eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked into a meaningful smile, and after a while, he picked up this delicate and graceful body by the waist, and then walked towards his bedroom.
In order to prevent possible air raids by Britain and France, the night curfew in Berlin was quite strict, but in the suburbs more than ten kilometers from the city center, sporadic lights still illuminated the nearby area like fireflies. There are no important targets here, and its population density is more than ten times worse than that of the city, and even if it is bombed, it will not cause much damage.
In addition, there are many high-ranking villas on the outskirts of Berlin. These people often sneak into their remote villas late at night to avoid the public eye and have extravagant banquets, so much so that after dawn, there are always many limousines driving into the city from the suburbs. In view of this, the Gestapo also chose to turn a blind eye to the situation in the suburbs, and as long as there was no trouble, they would show mercy to these elites.
In one of the quaint castle-like buildings, a thin old man in a suit and leather shoes is sitting on a sofa in the living room. His face is solemn and distinct, and the gray eyes behind the lenses contain a depth that seems to be able to perceive people's hearts, and it is none other than Schacht, who once held the economic power of Germany twice. In front of Shaht, a beautiful woman in purple sat in silence. Her figure is elongated and slender, delicate, and her seductive and delicate face is a fatal temptation for normal men of almost any age; However, the awe-inspiring solemnity on her face at this moment made the man facing her feel oppressed, and he completely forgot her thrilling beauty.
"At noon this day, Mr. Hassell informed me of the attitude of the two generals, Brauchitsch and Halder." "They don't think that the strategy of radical change will make Germany more advantageous than it is today," Schacht broke the silence in the living room and spoke slowly to the woman in front of him. Even General Thomas wavered in our cause. He believes that this is not the time for radical change, and that it is only when the dictator makes a mistake that clearly leads to defeat that enough people can be rallied. ”
Rao is woman in purple expected this result, and at this moment, her blue starry eyes still showed an irrepressible disappointment. She took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Did they say a specific reason?" ”
"Now that the enemy is present, there can be no civil strife and rebellion within Germany. This is the most direct reason given by the two supreme leaders of the army. They did not trust the British to keep their promise to make peace with Germany as soon as we overthrew the dictator. Shacht said with a solemn expression. After a moment of silence, Shacht spoke slowly: "In addition, we do not have a concrete and feasible plan for overthrowing the dictator and re-establishing a new regime. At present, the army is no longer able to control the situation in the whole country immediately after the coup d'état, as it did one year ago, and if there is large-scale civil unrest in the country due to poor planning, the final result will only be painful for those who are close to each other, and quick for those who are enemies. ”
"Your Excellency, do you think so?" The woman in purple was keenly aware of the strange tone in Shacht's words just now, and asked in disbelief. Schacht's face showed some complication, and he replied with difficulty: "Madame Lina, since I saw the essence of Hitler's intention to lead Germany to the abyss of war at the beginning of this year, I have resolutely thrown myself into your camp. Now, however, I have to admit that the fears of several army generals are entirely justified. This is indeed not a good time for us to act. ”
With the conclusion of the Munich Conference and the subsequent German victories in the Czech Republic and Poland, Hitler had gained a firm foothold in the army. In addition to the officers and men at the grassroots level who bowed down to the Führer because they were ideologically brainwashed, even many high-ranking generals became loyal followers of the Führer. Anyone else does not say it, the current commander of Army Group B on the Western Front, General Bock, has great respect for the Führer, and there are also several army commanders like Reichenau, Kruger, and Quchler, who are also loyal to the Führer! If a military mutiny were to be carried out, almost half of the army's senior commanders at or above the military level would become dangerous elements who would oppose Hitler. Thus, unless there was a rigorous and meticulous plan, General Brauchitsch, even as commander-in-chief of the army, would not be able to control the situation. ”
"In addition to the inability of the Army itself to achieve unity, the military mutiny also faces a strong threat of a counterattack by the National Socialist Party. Today's National Socialist Party is no longer a civil society with only loose members, but also has three regiments of SS and a large police force. And those old members who were loyal to Hitler, such as Franck, Flick, Himmler, Goebbels, and my successor Walt Brom, who desperately waged his tail at Hitler, held important positions of real power such as cabinet ministers, governors of occupied territories, and heads of the major regions of the country. If these people had opposed the army mutiny and demanded severe punishment for the traitors, would not Germany have immediately faced an unthinkable civil war? At that time, the mountains and rivers will be broken, the smoke of gunpowder will be everywhere, and France will take advantage of the situation to move westward; Germany will be torn apart in an instant, and it will be a repeat of the situation of the Thirty Years' War! ”
Schacht said too much in one breath, and his lips became a little dry, but his emotions became more and more excited, and his voice raised several degrees: "No matter how unwilling we are, no matter how difficult we can bear Hitler's war fever, racial policy, and distorted destruction of German culture, we must face the fact that there is no one to replace Hitler's position today. We must wait patiently for the opportunity for this dictator to lose himself in the midst of countless praises and then do stupid things that are beyond his means. Only then will we have a chance to win the support of enough people to complete the salvation of Germany. ”
Linna, the woman in purple, was originally full of anger in her heart, and she wanted to get up and leave; However, as Shacht's words continued, her momentary immature emotional emotions quickly dissipated. As a member of the club of the domestic Qatari monopoly giant, Lina is fully aware of what Shaht has just said. In the final analysis, it was their conspiracy that was too weak to make any waves in the face of the behemoths of Hitler and the National Socialist Party.
At present, there are only about 100 members of the group determined to overthrow Hitler's rule, and most of them are lawyers, newspaper editors, pastors, and university professors. They all had one thing in common, that is, they were ostracized and even persecuted under the totalitarian rule of the National Socialist Party. To put it nicely, they are social fighters representing the advanced culture and indomitable soul of all strata of Germany, but to put it mildly, these people are a group of rabble, and they are simply the scum of war 5 who cannot be put on the stage. They want money or not, power or power, soldiers or soldiers, and it is estimated that the vast majority of people will tremble at the thought of the Gestapo and the concentration camps.
Someone like Hassel, who had served as Germany's ambassador to Rome and had the ability and guts to take on the role of conspirator's liaison with the outside world, was absolutely rare. They may still be good at waving flags in the rear, and if you really want to rely on them to achieve great things, it is as difficult as getting a sow to learn to climb a tree!
At this moment, the only people who really have a certain amount of energy in the conspiracy organization are Shacht, who was the minister at the time, Linna, who inherited the Binyard Textile Group, and high-ranking soldiers such as Beck, Witzleben, Hopner, and Canaris. Although Brauchitsch and Halder were in frequent contact with the conspiracy, they were completely walled-off, and had no firm conviction to dare to fight. Obviously, without the support of a large enough people, the ideals of the members of the organization to rebel against Hitler's rule can only exist in dreams forever. (To be continued.) )
