Putting down the silver dinner knife carved with delicate ivy patterns, Xu Jun elegantly picked up the wine glass in front of him.

The ornate crystal cup is inlaid with pure gold lace, and the pure body of the cup is as pure as ice crystals, engraved with the family emblem of the previous owner, showing off its extraordinary background.

Its elegant and luxurious shape has made it a work of art, and the special value given to it by history has made people forget the significance of its birth as a barware.

If it falls into the hands of some collector of antiques, it must be carefully placed in a beautiful glass case, perhaps covered with soft and expensive silk upholstery, and its owner will surely display it in the most conspicuous place for people to see, and it will surely be admired and admired by countless people, bringing its owner endless satisfaction and honor, and countless jealous eyes.

However, it can no longer be a cup that can be used by people.

"You seem to be interested in this cutlery set, my Führer."

Noticing the young Führer's intoxicated expression, Werler put down the knife in his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him.

"Oh? What did you say? ”

Xu Jun's gaze turned back from the wine glass, and he looked at his chief of staff blankly.

"Nothing, my Führer, I want to salute you for the victories we have achieved now."

Wierle smiled and toasted to Xu Jun.

"Oh, for our future victory, my Chief of Staff."

Xu Jun smiled slightly and raised his wine glass.

"For future victories, my Führer."

Hearing Xu Jun's speech, the subordinates present hurriedly put down the knives and forks in their hands, raised their wine glasses in unison, and greeted Xu Jun.

Xu Jun took a shallow sip of wine, feeling the special enjoyment brought by the aromatic and mellow liquor.

As the head of an empire, Xu Jun has the power to obtain all the benefits that a leader of his stature can get. As a ducái, he even has something that no other leader in the world can have, absolute temptation.

It sounds like a joke, but as the leader of a fascist country, the head of a country that can't talk about the most inducement, Xu Jun really got the most thorough and unscrupulous temptation, of course, this is only for him.

When Xu Jun and Feng. By the time Brauchitsch and Yodel had finished their meeting, it was already getting dark, and it was only then that they realized that they had been talking all afternoon.

After the Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Force and the Chief of Operations of the High Command had once again pledged allegiance and support to their young Führers, they spent most of their time discussing the details of the handling of the officers and generals within the Defence Force who were involved in the matter.

In this matter, Xu Jun obtained Feng. The unreserved support of Brauchitsch and Jodel meant that he had the support of most of the German High Command and the German Army, which made Xu Jun very happy.

Although they had a small dispute over some details later, they were quickly resolved through the mediation of Weierle.

Xu Jun was very satisfied with the outcome of the meeting, and of course Feng, Brauchitsch and Jodel also felt that they had gained a lot of confidence, knowing that they had gained Xu Jun's absolute trust, which would be of immeasurable importance to their future work in their respective positions and personal futures.

The two men had forgotten why they had come to meet the Führer, and although the Führer had not explained to them about the assassination until the end, their minds had long since ceased to be on it.

They have more important information, and how to benefit from it is the most important question for them to think about now.

Since it was already dinner time, Xu Jun, who felt a little tired, decided to simply stay at this temporary site for one night and continue the following activities the next day.

The generals and officials who participated in the welcome were unexpectedly given an opportunity to dine and rest on the Führer's train.

Xu Jun's Führer train was a mixture of Hitler's America and Goering's Asia, and this train has the powerful communication and command function of the America and the luxurious living facilities of the Asia, becoming the most luxurious and comfortable mobile command center in Europe and even the world.

Xu Jun did not invite anyone to dinner with him, although Werler repeatedly suggested that this was an opportunity to bring Xu Jun closer to the generals.

But Xu Jun only likes to dine with familiar people around him. He enjoys the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere of the family, and although he sometimes has to attend large banquets, since he is on his own turf, he will not force himself for any reason.

Xu Jun didn't care about losing any opportunity to buy people's hearts, not to mention that he didn't believe that eating an awkward dinner would make those officials and generals loyal to him.

There are many more effective ways than this, why bother with your appetite.

Xu Jun has his own dining car, which was converted from the original Goering's private entertainment car.

It is said that it is a modification, but in fact, it is just the removal of those entertainment facilities, and the interior decoration has not been changed at all, and it still maintains a gorgeous style.

The brown-black oak wainscoting is polished and sparkling, surrounded by delicate lacquered gold ornaments, and the windows are hung with velvet curtains in the same colour as the walls.

There was a brown wool carpet an inch thick on the floor, and it felt like stepping on it as if you were stepping on a lush grass, giving you the urge to lie on it.

Leaning against the walls on either side are two rows of shiny leather sofas topped with purple silk cushions. In one corner of the carriage is an upright piano, and in the other corner is an antique wine cabinet carved with a row of decorative silver plates.

In the middle of the carriage is a long dining table that can accommodate twelve people, covered with a snow-white embroidered tablecloth, and a Louis-style high-backed chair is placed on Xu Jun's main seat.

The chef has already served the main course, today it is Hungarian beef with mashed potatoes and a thick layer of mushroom juice on top, which looks very appetizing.

Xu Jun has a good feeling about German cuisine, and of course it is due to the talented chefs.

Xu Jun's personal requirements for food are not high, especially on the front line, sometimes a simple bowl of vegetable soup, two sausages and a piece of bread can pass a meal.

In fact, this is also a common habit of the German ** team, because no matter how senior an officer is, even if he is a marshal, the food on the battlefield will not be much different from that of an ordinary soldier, at most a little more delicate than the soldiers.

However, Xu Jun is not hypocritical enough to refuse food, and if he has the opportunity, he will also be more than happy to taste a hearty meal, especially a new dish that he has not tried.

For European cuisine, Xu Jun has always maintained a sufficient curiosity, of course, what haunts him the most is the Chinese food in his hometown, but the Chinese chef really can't find it for a while, and Xu Jun can't force anything for this.

After all, European dishes are endless, and there is no tendency for him to get tired of it for the time being.

However, when he thought that His Excellency the dignified Third Reich Fuhrer wanted to eat a plate of fried vegetables and couldn't get it, he couldn't help but let Xu Jun look up to the sky and sigh.

After swallowing the last piece of tender beef, Xu Jun picked up his wine glass again. Wehrle was right, he was very interested in the set.

The set of cutlery was captured by the Germans during the occupation of Orleans from a French general, who was about to flee when he ran head-on into a lost group of German tanks before he could run two miles. At that time, the commander of the tank company was holding the map and was worried about the three-way intersection, but he did not expect a big fish to slip through the net and sent it to the door by himself, and the overjoyed commander of the tank company personally searched for this set of utensils from the general's luggage.

Although this company commander is not from a noble background, he also has a family background, and he can be regarded as a knowledgeable master. He saw that this thing was too valuable, although he liked it, he didn't dare to hide it casually, so he simply handed over this set of things immediately, and by the way, he could make a good impression in front of his boss. So after turning it in and turning it in like this, and pouring it more than a dozen times in a row, this set of things was placed on Xu Jun's table.

As a reserve historian, Xu Jun saw the origin of this set of things at a glance, and the family emblem on it clearly indicated that this was a court item of the French royal family, and it should be the personal utensils of the Sun King Louis XIV, which really made Xu Jun, who loves antiques, a little fond of it, and designated it as his personal tableware on the spot.

Xu Jun's logic is that since this kind of good thing is made by others, why not use it, not to mention that it is not bad, but I heard that the orderly soldier who washes dishes in the kitchen has since fallen into the root of neurasthenia.

The glass is a fine wine, and the wine is not far off, a real Bordeaux red wine, produced in 1867 at Château Lafite, the best of the best.

The best shelf life for Bordeaux wines is 20 years, but occasionally some of the best wines can last for more than 100 years without losing their flavor, and this bottle is clearly no different.

Xu Jun didn't ask where he got these wines, anyway, there were only five bottles, and there were no more, and it felt really good to drink gold.

"How's the schedule for tomorrow, Werle? Do you have any other suggestions? ”

At the end of dinner, the orderly removed the tableware, and Xu Junzhi proudly lit a cigar and smoked leisurely.

"Is this it? Nothing has changed, my Führer. We went to the High Command in the morning and visited several nearby estates in the afternoon. The original plan was to enter Paris the day after your arrival, but due to today's incident, the original plan has been disrupted, and it is up to you to decide the exact time of the High Command's opinion. Feng. Marshal Brauchitsch had issued an order for the troops to continue their preparations, and he seemed to want to make a grand and perfect entrance to the city. ”

"yes, I don't know what kind of scene it will be."

"It should please you, my Führer. After all, they've been preparing for almost a month. My Führer. ”

"That's true, huh."

Xu Jun felt a little amused when he thought about it.

The Germans have now occupied most of the territory of France and continue to advance by leaps and bounds.

In fact, on the second day of the offensive, the German ** team surrounded Paris.

To the surprise of all the Germans, it was expected that the strongest resistance would be encountered here, as in 1914 and 1918, when the Germans had already approached the city, but for various reasons had to look at the city, so that the occupation of the city became the wish of a large part of the senior officers.

At this time, the army group of Lundstead and Bock was copied from two sides, and they had prepared four German elite infantry divisions for the city, but just as the commanders of these two army groups were rolling up their sleeves and licking their lips and preparing to pounce on them, Paris suddenly declared itself an undefended city to the world, which was really unexpected by these two commanders.

By the time the news arrived, General Bock's forward command had advanced to the outskirts of Paris, only fifteen kilometers away.

Slightly disappointed, General Bock immediately decided to personally lead his troops into Paris, which was the best chance to make a name for himself, and although he might be judged as stepping on shit, the title of conqueror of Paris was enough to make him famous in history.

But just as he could faintly see the buildings on the outskirts of Paris, he received an urgent telegram from von Brauchitsch.

After reading the telegram, von Bock retracted to their place of departure faster than they had come, and his troops stopped their advance, and all of them were stationed on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Lundstead also came to the outside of Paris with his own headquarters, and he and his troops also stopped advancing and were stationed in place.

From that day on, the 23-day siege of Paris, which depressed the citizens of Paris to the extreme, began.
