Niderkerschenna Strasse 8, Berlin, headquarters of the German SS, Himmler office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A German police general with a long face and deep nasolabial folds is giving a report to Himmler.

At the end of the Battle of Ukraine, Heydrich, the former Czech governor and director of the Reich's Central Security Service, took office as the governor of Ukraine.

After Heydrich left, the Gestapo welcomed their new director, Ernst Kardenbruner.

When Carlden Bruner reported to Himmler, by virtue of his professional habits, he keenly noticed that the old superior was very absent-minded, and frequently looked at a grandfather clock in the house, as if waiting for someone.

The old superior suddenly called himself to report on the Gestapo's surveillance of the underground organization called the "black band". Carlden Bruner thought to himself.

The phone rang, and Himmler, regardless of his image, got up and left the sofa, rushed to the desk in a few strides, and picked up the phone.

"I am, yes, I'll go right away. Wait, Charité Hospital? The Führer was hospitalized? No, okay, I'll go right away. ”

Himmler put down the phone, turned to Carlden Bruner and said, "Let's go, go to the Charité hospital." ”

Seeing Himmler's eyebrows fluttering, Carlden Bruner decided that something big was definitely going to happen.

When the two arrived at the Charité Hospital, they saw that the outside of the Charité Hospital was full of sentry posts, and the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Himmler said: "I remember that the last time the Charité hospital had troops standing guard was because our Polish governor-general was injured in a clash with the Japanese. Guess what's the reason this time? ”

"Could it be that he is hospitalized again?" Carlden Bruna.

"It's possible, I'm curious what the consequences would be if it was really him who was hospitalized." Himmler said with a smile.

In an office on the fourth floor of the hospital's inpatient department, the two men met Hitler.

Seeing Hitler's dark face and feeling the irritable aura surrounding Lao Xi, Himmler put away his smile and saluted Hitler respectfully.

Unlike usual, Hitler did not mean to let them sit down, but stood in front of them with his hands behind his back, his gloomy gaze swirling over the faces of the two men, and the room was filled with silent depression.

Himmler, under the pressure exerted by Hitler, took the initiative to ask: "Führer, what instructions do you have for coming to us?" ”

"I don't have instructions, I only compliment. Your ・・・・・・ are very good, and the Gestapo you command are very good.

I have put the security of the empire in your hands, and how have you repaid me? Now, doctors here are resuscitating Heinz from poisoning. Did you hear me clearly? It's poisoning. ”

Speaking of poisoning, Hitler's voice sharply raised an octave.

"The doctors have told me to prepare myself mentally for the loss of Heinz. Now I am very responsible to tell you that you should also be mentally prepared to be arrested by the Gestapo on charges of dereliction of duty. ”

Hitler's fingers were almost on the tip of Himmler's nose, and Himmler finally figured out what was going on.

This is not the same as the script that was promised!

Goering greeted the Gestapo and told him to prepare the monitoring materials for the Black Band rebel group, and then wait for the Führer to summon him.

It is true that the Führer summoned himself, as Goering said, but the place and manner of the summoning were completely unexpected.

Wait, where is Goering?

Himmler suddenly remembered that he had not seen Goering all the way.

As if hearing Himmler's heart, Hitler pointed to the wall behind him and roared: "Marshal Goering is now lying in the next ward, and we are very likely to lose two high-ranking cadres in one day." The reason is that your incompetence has allowed hostile elements to lurk around us. What other instructions do you ask me? How dare I instruct you, I can only ask you to find me the poisoner. ”

Himmler was sweating and hurriedly said: "Führer, General Rosen has been poisoned, and the biggest suspect must be the people around him, the adjutant, the driver and the cook are all suspected, and we will immediately launch an investigation." ”

"I also know that the people around him are the most suspicious, and what I want to know is why you can't prevent it in advance, why do you always wait until after the incident to start an investigation? Investigate now, I want to know if there is anyone behind it? ”

Hitler gave the supreme instructions, Himmler did not dare to delay, turned to Carlden Bruner and said: "You call someone here at once, and then ・・・・・・"

Hitler's adjutant pushed the door in and interrupted Himmler.

"Führer, Marshal Goering is awake."

"Let's go see him."

Hitler was the first to walk out of the room, followed by Himmler.

Goering lay on his hospital bed, staring blankly at the roof until he saw the faces of Hitler and Himmler in sight.

When he saw Hitler, Goering first asked: "How is Heinz doing now?" ”

"It's still being rescued, but the situation has stabilized." To comfort Goering, Hitler casually spoke nonsense.

"Oh, now, do you still think we colluded to deceive you?"

Goering's words pierced Hitler's heart, and Hitler suddenly felt a surge of blood and his face was hot.

Goering continued: "Heinz is fine, if something happens to him, I don't mind another night of long knives, you are not allowed to stop me." ”

Hearing the night of the long knife, Himmler's throat twitched unnaturally.

On June 30, 1934, the top echelons of the SA, led by Rohm, the national leader of the SA, were purged and 200 people were executed.

Not only the SA, but also a large number of opponents of the National Socialist Party, including former Prime Minister General Streicher and his wife, were also affected, and over the course of two days, the sound of Mauser rifle shots echoed through the German skies, killing more than 1,000 people.

Overnight, the SA, an organization that had once wanted to replace the Wehrmacht, was wiped out.

Both Goering and Himmler were the planners and participants of the Night of the Long Knives.

Himmler looked at Hitler, and saw Hitler with a straight face and said: "If something happens to Heinz, I don't mind doing a purge like Stalin." ”

Goering suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Hitler's right hand.

"You're really lying to me, you just said that Heinz's condition is stable, you made it up, didn't you? If his condition had stabilized, you wouldn't have said anything like 'if something happens to Heinz.'" Is Heinz already dead? You tell me.

No, help me up, I'm going to see Heinz. ”

As he spoke, Goering was about to get up and sit up.

Hitler did not expect his words to provoke such a big reaction from Goering, and hurriedly joined forces with Himmler to stop Goering.

"Herman, not what you think, Heinz is rescuing. At this time, no one should disturb the doctor. ”

It took a while for the two of them to stop Goering from getting up and getting out of bed.

"Who is the murderer? Is there a result? As soon as Goering lay down, he asked the most crucial question.

"The Gestapo has already started an investigation, and the person who did it must be someone close to him." Himmler said.

"It's the executors who do it, and I'm asking if there is anyone behind the scenes?" Goering asked.

"I don't know, I'll have to wait for the results of the investigation to come out." Hitler said.

Goering turned his head to look at Himmler: "Are there any suspects?" ”

"The biggest suspect is the person next to him・・・・・・" Himmler rolled his eyes, suddenly remembering something.

"If you say that you are behind the scenes, wait for Carlden Bruner to come, and I will ask him if there is a suspect."

Carlden Bruner finished his call and was quickly called to Goering's bedside.

"Think about it, is there anyone who could possibly plan this poisoning operation? Especially the people in the Navy. Himmler asked.

"Why the Navy?" Hitler asked, puzzled.

"Heinz had four lieutenants with him, and the other three, for unknown reasons, were sent to the cafeteria of the Naval Aviation Command to get potato peels. He now has only one lieutenant from the navy as an adjutant, this second lieutenant Lorenz used to have the rank of major, and then he was demoted to second lieutenant for unknown reasons, and he is the biggest suspect. ”

"I have an impression of that ensign." Hitler nodded and looked at Carlden Bruner.

Under the gaze of Hitler, Goering and Himmler, Carlden Bruner hesitated for a moment and said a name.

"I think Admiral Canaris has a major suspicion."

"Nonsense, do you know what you're talking about?" Hitler shouted.

Himmler hurriedly relieved his men.

"Führer, he's probably talking about the Black Band."

"What black band?" Hitler asked.

"The Black Band is the largest treason organization with a military background that we know so far, and if it is the military people who poison Heinz, they are the most suspected masterminds." Himmler said.

Hitler suppressed his anger, rolled his eyes a few times, and suddenly asked, "Is Halder a member of this organization?" ”

"According to our intelligence, this group has been in contact with General Halder, and he is at least an insider." Himmler said.

"No wonder Heinz said that there was a group of people standing behind Halder, did he mean this organization?" Goering asked, lying there staring at Himmler.

Himmler and Goering's eyes met, and they immediately parted, and then said: "Speaking of this organization, we must start with Heinz.

Shortly after entering the Army, Heinz said that while he was working as a consultant to the Ordnance Bureau in the Army, he overheard some news. He asked me to send the Gestapo to keep an eye on General Ludwig Beck. ”

"General Baker? Former Chief of Staff of the Army, you continued. Hitler calmly said the identity of General Beck.

"I sent the Gestapo to spy on General Baker, and found that he had a lot of dealings with General Canaris, and they organized a large group of officers to plot to assassinate you, and then overthrow our party, and to sell intelligence to the British, and this organization was codenamed the Black Band. So, when it comes to the possibility that the mastermind behind the assassination of Heinz came from the Navy, Ernst thinks of Admiral Canaris. ”

"Who else is involved in this organization other than the people you mentioned?" Hitler asked.

Himmler gestured to Carlden Bruner, who said: "There are Field Marshal Witzleben, Field Marshal Kruger, assistant to General Canaris, General Oster and General Dunani, and ・・・・・・."

"That's enough, you go back and write me a list. No wonder the Military Intelligence Bureau has not provided us with any decent information in recent years, and the reason is here. ”

Hitler raised his right hand, pinched his uncontrollably shaking left hand, and looked at Goering.

"What do you think we should do?"

"If the evidence is conclusive, arrest Canaris and his men, as well as General Baker, immediately, and as for Halder's men, I suggest that they stay out of the way yet, they won't be able to escape anyway."

"Why?"

"We are now planning to attack Moscow, and now we need them to command the army to fight." When Goering said this, he did not look at Hitler, but turned his gaze to the ceiling.

Hitler choked on Goering's cool words, and his left hand shook even more.

"Don't be angry, Hermann, we're ・・・・・・," Hitler turned to look at the door.

Outside the door, there was a hurried "Gada, Gada", the sound of high heels hitting the concrete floor.

Judging from the frequency and density of the sounds, Hitler could tell that a group of women were approaching at high speed.

"The Führer, the Führer's wife is here, and Marshal Goering's wife, General Rosen's wife." Hitler's adjutant Schmund said.

"Why are they here?"

"I asked the family to be informed." Goering said.

With a scent of incense, a group of women appeared in the ward, led by Hitler's wife Eva, followed by Margaret and Goering's wife Amy, and Hepburn took Goering's daughter Ida by the hand and followed.

Eva stood beside Hitler, nodded with Himmler, and then asked, "Didn't Hermann just be discharged from the hospital a few days ago?" Why are you hospitalized again? ”

"Why are you here? I only informed Amy. Goering asked.

Eva explained: "I went to play with Amy and Margaret and the call came in. ”

"What about you? Not going to school today? Goering asked Hepburn.

"It's a day off." Hepburn said.

Goering nodded, and held out his hand to Margaret.

"Margaret, Ada, come here." Goering reached out and put his arm around his daughter Ida's shoulder.

"Margaret, Heinz has been poisoned and is being resuscitated in the hospital, the situation is very bad, you have to be mentally prepared. Ada, you may never see your Uncle Heinz again. ”

Goering's words were heard by Margaret and Ada, but Hitler, who was standing on the side, had his brain swollen twice.

The women were discolored, and Hitler hurriedly comforted:

"Margaret, calm down, the situation is not as serious as Herman said. Ada, don't cry・・・・・・"

At this time, the language was pale and weak, Hitler's comfort did not play any role, the cries of the children in the room, the chatter of the women, mixed together, hovered in Hitler's ears, and Hitler felt that his head was about to burst.

Himmler, sensing Hitler's predicament, hurried out to ease the atmosphere.

"Führer, let's go and ask the doctor about Heinz's condition, and let the marshal rest quietly for a while."

Hitler followed Himmler out of the ward and back to the makeshift rest room.

"Write me the list right away, write it now. Also, arrest General Baker at once, as well as Canaris and his assistants. Halder's men don't move yet, and tell me as soon as the interrogation is announced. ”
