Chapter 360: Untitled
Citroën continues along the asphalt path, and on the right hand side is the sprawling atrium garden, where in the early years large shrubs had been planted with beautiful geometric patterns that had been carefully trimmed by horticulturists, but then most of them were shoveled to save maintenance costs, leaving only an empty lawn.
However, this is also convenient for the RSD to set up a defensive line, and no one can evade the sentry surveillance and sneak through this open field. Kyle knew that on the edge of the pine forest on the right, two machine-gun squads were in ambush, and the soldiers had set up a concealed fire point behind the withered bushes, and the firing range would be able to completely cover the central garden.
The crossfire of six MG40 machine guns can easily repel a company-sized infantry onslaught and turn the clearing into a death trap.
The saloon pulls onto the central slip road, a two-lane asphalt road that crosses the manor from north to south, separating the main body of the manor from the atrium forecourt.
Originally built in the 9th century as a hunting lodge in the woodlands, the Doron estate remained until the end of the 13th century. Feng. The Count of Wardock bought the land and built a small castle with a moat and three towers on its current location. At the time, the land was nominally part of the Dukes of Burgundy, but the Holy Roman Empire actually controlled it.
In 1322, the castle was destroyed by its rivals during a common aristocratic raid, and it was abandoned for twenty-five years before it began to be rebuilt, and for the next four hundred years, it was used as a feudal mansion for knights, and its residential function gradually overshadowed its military role.
In the 18th century, the entire estate was renovated, the original layout was retained, new buildings were built on the original site, and the English style gardens that were popular at the time were added, and the old Duolun Manor was reborn.
The estate was owned by City Councilman Franz Brown. Owned by Labush, many Dutch nobles lived here, including Ella. Fan. Baroness Heimstra, who spent her happy childhood here, was married to the famous movie star Audrey. Hepburn.
The main building of the manor is built on the site of the original castle, and the designer deliberately set up a moat on the side, and the whole building is located on a small island in the center. This design completely retains the feudal style of the nobility of the Middle Ages, in addition to the daily fire and theft prevention, there is also a hint of ostentation, after all, not every manor can have such a long history.
The main building is a three-story villa-style building, with half of the ground floor buried in the ground and only two and a half floors exposed above the ground. The lowest floor is the kitchen, pantry, and servants' quarters, while the second floor and above are the areas used by the master.
The building has a concave shape from a bird's-eye view, with a gate in the middle of the gap and a 12-step staircase made of cement masonry in front of the door.
In the summer, the surrounding red brick façade was covered with green vines, but by this time they had all withered, so in order not to hinder the Führer's view, Kyle had someone to renovate and clean it, and now the whole building looks like it has just been built.
Before the car could come to a stop, Kyle jumped off the Citroën, and he quickly ran to the steps in front of the door, stopping in front of the arched lintel.
The Captain took two deep breaths before knocking softly on the pale blue-framed glass grille door. The occupants of the room must have noticed his arrival, and the door immediately opened, revealing a man dressed in a crisp Prussian Army officer's uniform before Kyle.
"Good morning, are you all ready? Colonel Wagel. Kyle gave him an army salute.
"Good morning, Captain Kyle, as I answered you on the phone, everything is ready," the Colonel said after returning the salute.
"What about Your Majesty?"
"It's in his office." Wagle turned and made way of the door.
"I'm not going in, Colonel, and tell your Majesty at once that the Führer has departed, and that it will only take fifteen minutes at most to get here from his station." Kyle took off his military hat and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief from his trouser pocket.
"You mean it's ahead of schedule? My God, I will go and inform Your Majesty at once. Wagle hurriedly agreed.
"Please hurry, I'll be waiting outside the door." Kyle put on his military hat and gave a military salute to the other party, then turned and ran down the steps, he still had a large number of units to contact immediately.
"I think it's shameless, what do you think?" The Reich Führer handed a telegram to Brauchitsch, who was beside him.
"I fully support your opinion, my Führer." Brauchitsch took the telegram and nodded vigorously in agreement.
"I don't understand what the chairman is thinking, knowing that they are still under Japanese aggression." Brauchitsch looked down at the telegram: "Are you prepared to disclose your attitude on this matter to the outside world, we can hold a press conference." ”
"No," Xu Jun tapped his fingers lightly on his temples. I can't say it publicly, Brauchitsch. For the time being, the German government cannot get involved in this internal struggle, and besides, we need Chinese resources and labor. Xu Jun opened the small cabinet in the middle of the seat, took out a cigar from the humidor, and picked up the lighter on the side.
"It is true, I did not think of this, my Führer, your decision is incomparably wise, but... I have also read Major Stauffenberg's previous report..."Brauchitsch hesitated.
"I know what you're worried about, Your Excellency Marshal, you don't really have to worry about that incident at all, I believe in Stauffenberg's ability, he will clean everything up, and even if it is detected by the Chongqing side, what can they do with us?" After Xu Jun finished speaking, he lit the cigar with a cigarette lighter, and after taking a few deep breaths, he spit out a large cloud of smoke out the window.
"Compared with Chongqing, the Japanese may have caused a little more trouble to our earl." The Führer said, scratching his nose.
"Otherwise, he will be transferred back, my Führer, the High Command is in need of such a competent officer as the Earl." Brauchitsch suggested.
"No, judging from his report, Stauffenberg has already opened up the situation on the ground, and it is a pity to bring him back now. I think we should just let him go and do a big job in China, and what we should do now is to be his staunchest support. Xu Jun made up his mind, and he raised his fist at Brauchitsch.
"There is no doubt that I will obey your will, my Führer." The Commander-in-Chief, as always, showed his loyalty, and at the same time handed back the telegram in his hand to the Führer.
"Strange injustices through the ages, a leaf in the south of the Yangtze River..." Xu Jun took the telegram, stuffed it into the chest pocket of his uniform, sighed, and then turned his face to look out the window.
"What did you just say, my Führer." Brauchitsch's eyes widened, His Excellency the Commander did not understand Chinese at all.
