Chapter XXII Appointments

"Hans, this, this...... When was it delivered. Xu Jun frowned and looked at a document on his desk, he may have drunk too much wine last night, and his head still hurts a little, he holds the document with one hand and rubs his temples with the other.

"What? Oh, this was received last night. But you were drunk last night, so I didn't give this to you. You might as well have a cup of coffee first, I just asked the orderlies to cook it, and it may feel better to drink it. Hans handed over a double of the strong coffee.

"Oh, thank you." Xu Jun hurriedly took the cup of coffee and took a sip.

"Be careful! Oh. It's freshly cooked...... Are you hot? You okay. ”

Hans looked at Xu Jun eagerly, and now the marshal's facial features had been burned and squeezed, and tears were coming out of the corners of his eyes.

"It's all to blame that I didn't remind you, you're okay, do you want me to call a military doctor for you." Hans was a little frightened when he saw Xu Jun's current appearance, the guy was now looking at him with teary eyes, and he looked like he couldn't sleep.

Hearing that Hans was about to call a military doctor, Xu Jun hurriedly shook his hand to stop it. He rushed to the corner of the room, poured a glass of cold water from a water bottle, drank it all, and walked back to his desk with his mouth covered.

"Hans, you're trying to murder me......" The marshal now spoke with a distinctly big tongue, and tears were still streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to take such a big ......" Hans quickly bowed and apologized.

"You...... You...... Not only give me a drink...... Hot coffee, and no sugar. Xu Jun is a little better now, he said as he wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

"Really?"

Hans picked up the remaining half cup of coffee on the table, took a sip, and then said apologetically, "It seems that there is no sugar." I'm going to scold the orderly. ”

Then he realized that it was not the time to say this, and he asked eagerly, "How is your mouth now?" I think it's better to call a doctor. ”

"No, just ask someone to get me some ice water. God, how could I be so unlucky. Ay! But finally my head doesn't hurt anymore. Xu Jun said with a big tongue.

"Then I'll go get you ice water. You wait, I'll be back right away. Hans hurried out of the office.

"Oh my God, I almost got burned."

Xu Jun endured the pain in his mouth and then studied the document in his hand. This is a standard official document of the High Command, a letter of appointment. From this document the date of issuance is yesterday morning and it was issued by Hitler himself.

He first praised himself in the most sensual compliments, and then tried to let himself know how important he was to Germany. After half a page to get to the point, Hitler appointed himself governor of Poland, while his officers were left with him to command the troops stationed in Poland.

Hitler also reminded himself that the former Polish governor was Hans, who had fled back to Germany. Frank had already been ordered to be shot, and he would not tolerate such an Imperial pest endangering the Empire. Seeing this, Xu Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Hans. Frank, Hitler's best friend, the most mediocre, greedy, and brutal Polish governor in history, died at the hands of his friend. What a good way to do it.

This trick is indeed very subtle if it is placed on others, but it is a pity that he met himself. Hitler now wanted to put himself to the last test. He wanted to know what he really wanted. If you don't really want to challenge him, then the purpose of the purge is to bring down Frank. If he had completely turned his face with himself for this reason, Hitler might not have felt that it was worth it, and that a small Polish governor could do far more for him than his own capable deputy Führer.

If it's only Frank who wants to deal with it, it's the best deal to trade the head of this insignificant subordinate for the loyalty of his right and left hand. But if it was his authority that he wanted to challenge, he could also use this letter of appointment to imprison himself and tie himself to Poland.

At that time, he was far from the center of power in Germany, and he could not interfere with any means he wanted in Germany. Then he can safely and slowly cut off his henchmen, and slowly destroy the underground network that Jack has painstakingly run. When these threatening forces are completely eliminated, at that time, it is a matter of his words to round and flatten himself. Moreover, he can also use this method to slowly elevate himself and slowly consume his strength.

Germany had only plundered and not built in Poland, and here it was impossible to replenish its own forces in any case. All his supplies and weapons need to be shipped from Germany, and his lifeblood is actually in his hands. If he had stopped sending the necessary supplies to Poland, Poland's present economic and industrial conditions alone would not have been able to satisfy the consumption of his troops. At that time, I will have to bend my knees to him.

And if he is in this position now, it can better reflect his trust and cultivation in himself. If you were to attack him now, it would give the German people the impression that they were ungrateful and rebellious, and not only would the Army not be able to help them, but they would probably come to suppress them in order to make their position clear.

Another powerful aspect of this order is that he used the most legitimate reasons to deprive himself of control of the "Cyprus" legion. It is beyond reproach that his own officers were assigned to work beside him. Now Hitler could have redeployed his henchmen to "Cypress" and then completely controlled it. And he can only watch his hard work being snatched away by others.

Thinking of this, Xu Jun couldn't help but sneer. It's a pity that he is not like his previous opponents, who are either too stupid or too upright, so he may be defeated by his despicable poisonous schemes. This time his opponent was a powerful man he had never met before, more cunning than him, more despicable than him, more vicious than him, and he thought that he was trying to trap himself in this way, it was a dream.

"My marshal, I got you the ice water you wanted." Just as Xu Jun was sinister and sinister, Hans's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in." Xu Jun said loudly, he felt that his tongue was still hot and painful, and he couldn't help frowning again.

The office door opened, and Hans walked in with two orderlies, who were also carrying a huge drinking fountain.

"My marshal, I'm very sorry, but that's all I can get, and you don't think it's enough. If that's not enough, I can look for it in the city again. Hans said apologetically.

"That's enough." Xu Jun hurriedly said: "This is enough. You have worked hard, go down and rest. He waved his hand at the orderly, and the two orderlies hurriedly put down the drinking fountain and retreated.

"Marshal, I'm really sorry, it's really my dereliction of duty, it's entirely my responsibility to get you burned, and I ask for your punishment." Hans still vigorously expressed his apologies.

Xu Jun didn't answer him, he walked to the drinking fountain, picked up the cup and poured himself a glass of ice water and drank it all, and then let out a pleasant breath. Xu Jun turned to Hans and said, "Hans, you don't have to blame yourself. Actually, I made it up by accident, and it has nothing to do with you. The main reason is that I drank too much yesterday, so I was still a little unconscious in the morning, and if I hadn't burned it, I might not have woken up now. ”

"I am even more ashamed of what you say."

"Hans, how can you say that you are a general, how can you still think of yourself as a school officer? The general should look like a general. Haha, if you keep doing this, how can I rest assured that I will leave the troops under your command. Don't you always want to be the commander of a force to use your own abilities? Xu Jun smiled and comforted his loyal adjutant.

"Marshal, you mean to give me command of an army?" Hans looked at Xu Jun in surprise.

"Haha, not now, but I promise you, I will definitely let you show your talent on the battlefield. But now, you're about to start developing your temperament as a high-ranking commander. ”

"Yes, my marshal." Hans puffed up his chest, his eyes full of gratitude.

"But, marshal, don't you really need to see a doctor?"

"Don't, I can just think about the level of the doctors here, what can those military doctors do except prescribe a knife and change the medicine, if it falls into their hands, then I might as well burn myself to death." Xu Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile.

"It's a pity that this is not Berlin now, otherwise I know a lot of good doctors." Hans really believed the needle-phobic guy, he sighed.

"Oh? Doctors? Xu Jun suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"What's wrong? Marshal, is there any problem? Hans saw Xu Jun say this, and he lowered his head and thought about it, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, no problem, I just had an idea. Wait, let me think again. Xu Jun interrupted Hans with a wave of his hand, and then walked towards the desk with his hands behind his back. He walked over to his desk and sat down in his comfortable leather office chair, his eyes fixed on the document in deep thought.

"Well, I think it works. Hans, you will now call in the chief of staff of Weirle, and say that I have an important matter to discuss with him. ”

"Yes, my marshal. Just call him one? ”

"Well, by the way, you can call all the officers of the "Cyprus" regiment and above who came with me, and I need to hear their opinions as well. ”

"Yes, my marshal." Hans bowed slightly, pushed the door open, and walked out.

Xu Jun sat there and continued to stare at the document in a daze. It seems that this is the only way to reverse the current situation. Hitler, you forced me to do it yourself. It seems that now he has to speed up his plan, to completely block his card path and disrupt his plan when he plays the next card. Only in this way will he be able to regain the initiative in this struggle.

"Marshal, everybody's here." After a while, Hans's voice sounded again from outside the door.

"Oh, come in." Xu Jun stood up to greet the arrival of his loyal subordinates.

The officers walked into Xu Jun's office and lined up in two rows according to their ranks. After the ceremony, Xu Jun enthusiastically asked them to find their own seats and sit down, but he stood in front of the desk with the document.

Looking at the officer Xu Jun, who was sitting in a full office, he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone knows our current situation. I just want to take Germany down a brighter path, to get rid of all the dirt and ugliness, and to give Germany a clean leadership. But I didn't expect that in exchange for a conspiracy and poisoned arrows against me. ”

Xu Jun raised the document in his hand with indignation.

"Look, this is what the Führer for whom I have served faithfully has repaid me. I didn't want to start a power struggle with him yet, but now it seems impossible. I now decide to make a final severance with him for the sake of self-defence, for the safety of all my followers, including all of you, for the sake of our great Germany not to be led into the abyss of darkness by such people, and for the revival of the Germanic nation. Then one of them will have to fall. But I believe it won't be me. Because light can never be crushed by darkness. Justice in Germany will be done by me. ”

Xu Jun's words exploded in the hearts of those officers like a bombshell, although they already had this premonition, but now saying this intention from Xu Jun's mouth still brought a shock to their psychology, and those officers were stunned for a while. The reaction of several henchmen such as Weirle and Hans Müller Dogen was very calm, and only the excitement and fanatical look in their eyes revealed the excitement in their hearts at this moment.

"Look at this document first, General Verle, and I'm sure you will be able to see the sinister intentions in this appointment. It's up to you to explain what kind of conspiracy all this contains. It's simply despicable and shameless. Xu Jun's face was full of anger, and he turned around and walked to his office chair, and then sat down fiercely.

"What a sinister and vicious plan, what a conspiracy, I really could not have imagined that our German Führer could do such a vicious thing to his close comrades. He's trying to put the marshal and all of us to death......"

Weierle's exaggerated voice sounded from behind, and Xu Jun secretly gave a thumbs up to the chief of staff, who was really an unusual person.

Then, Xu Jun heard those officers eagerly asking where the chief of staff saw that this was a conspiracy, and what was this conspiracy trying to do to the marshal, and for a while, the entire office was filled with questions from the officers. Then, it became the chief of staff's time to perform alone, and he used all his skills to describe the true face of the conspiracy to the officers in detail, and used his powerful word processing skills to embellish and exaggerate the conspiracy, and also skillfully guided the officers on what would happen to them if the conspiracy succeeded, and as a result, several officers were frightened by themselves because their imagination was too rich.

In the end, all the officers were filled with righteous indignation at Hitler's treatment of the German heroes by such means, and they were extremely indignant that they would end up in such a desperate fight for the Führer. They all now once again showed their loyalty to Xu Jun, and they were willing to do everything in their power to help their marshal win this struggle.

Xu Jun was very satisfied with this result, and he cast an approving glance at Weierle, while his chief of staff nodded to Xu Jun elegantly.

"Gentlemen. All we have to do now is to find a way back to Germany, where there are countless of our comrades, where we will have enough space for a final showdown with this hypocritical tyrant. Otherwise, we'll be trapped here and slaughtered like fish frozen on the ice. Now that I have a plan, I need to get your opinions, and if you think it's feasible, we'll follow it. Regardless of the final outcome, I will thank you for your support. ”

Xu Jun looked at his followers and said, "This is the only chance we have now to salvage the situation."
