Chapter 39: Lord Weirle
General Weirle had been in a good mood since the morning, and it was another sunny and warm day, and although he now had to face a mountain of problems every day, he felt very fulfilled and satisfied.
He enjoyed the pleasure of this kind of work, especially when he was dealing with problems that seemed very difficult to others, and the pleasure of using his power freely while using his personal abilities at the same time could not be expressed in words.
Of course, all this was built on the trust and reliance of the Reich Führer on him, and Willle had traded his loyalty and wisdom for what he had achieved now, and His Excellency the Chief of Staff was never shy about showing this in front of others.
A diamond-shaped star was added to Wierle's shoulder, and the trust and respect of the Reich Führer made the veteran feel a dozen years younger.
Now that his body is full of confidence and vitality, Werler believes that he will be able to leave a personal place in German history, and this is the goal that countless German officials have wanted to achieve in their lives.
"Good morning, General Verrle. Wait here for a moment, the Führer is meeting Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten inside, and I'll go and inform him that you're coming. ”
Major Tysenhowen was still so polite, and the young adjutant of life was imbued with an aristocratic elegance and reserve.
Fitting dress, elegant and polite conversation, and aristocratic demeanor, no matter where he is, as long as he appears, the scene will be inexplicably filled with a palace atmosphere.
"Good morning, Eric. Did the Führer rest well last night? ”
Weirle nodded slightly, and then sat down leisurely on the gorgeous couch in the adjutant's room.
"It's not good, he didn't rest very late last night, and he was woken up twice by urgent telegrams in the middle, and he got up very early this morning. Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, while I admire the almost boundless energy of the Führer, I am also deeply moved by the strong sense of duty that His Excellency has for the Empire.
I am well aware of the weight of the responsibilities on the shoulders of His Excellency the Führer, but as it is now, even the strongest of the body will sooner or later be dragged down, and I dare not imagine what Germany would become without the Führer. ”
Tysenhofen said as he stood in front of his office with a worried expression.
"Have you talked to the Führer about this?"
Wehrle picked up the teacup that the orderly had given him.
"Not yet, I think it would be more useful than me if you brought it up."
"You are wrong, Major Tysenhowen, it is your duty. You should try to find an opportunity to talk to the Führer in person and tell him about your concerns. If you need to be expressed by others, how can you really grow? Be confident, Major, you have more weight in the Führer's mind than you think, and don't deliberately devalue yourself, this is my advice to you. ”
"I ...... Understood, thank you, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, and I will now go and inform the Führer that you have come. ”
Tysenhofen lowered his head and pondered Weierle's advice, and then a cheerful look appeared on his face, and the young adjutant smiled and nodded to Weierle in thanks.
Tysenhofen knocked lightly on the door twice, then opened the door and walked into the office.
"He's a smart boy."
Weirle looked at the adjutant's tall back and nodded slightly.
"General Weierle, the Führer let you in."
Before Wehrle could take a sip of tea, Tysenhoven hurriedly exited the office.
"The Führer seems to be angry now and does not know what is happening."
Tysenhofen leaned into Willle's ear and whispered.
"Got it."
Werler patted Tysenhofen on the shoulder, who respectfully opened the door covered in leather and soundproof cotton.
Wehrle straightened his hat and collar a little, and then strode into the office.
When Werler walked into the office, he found that Tysenhofen's words were still a little euphemistic, and the German Führer was not only angry now, but he was now completely furious.
"What is this? It's unbelievable that no one was able to find out in advance......"
Xu Jun paced back and forth quickly in front of the window, holding a document that was almost crumpled in his hand.
"It's a joke, I've never heard a dumber joke than this one."
The Imperial Führer's face turned pale, and his slightly trembling voice signaled an even stronger outburst.
"This is dereliction of duty!"
Xu Jun walked to the desk and slapped the document on the table, his eyes staring fiercely at Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten who was standing in front of him.
Poor Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten bowed his head to bear the Führer's angry gaze, his face filled with horror and shame.
Her body trembled slightly, and Weirle could see that she had been frightened by the Führer's reaction, and that she had not fallen now supported by the conditioned reflexes that had been rigorously trained by the army.
"My Führer."
Weierle walked over to his desk and nodded respectfully to Xu Jun.
"Wehrle, you're here."
Xu Jun stopped attacking Kirsten's gaze, and he turned his face to Weierle and nodded. Kirsten had a look of salvation on her face, and she cast a plea glance at her esteemed teacher.
"Someone has to pay for this, and the Intelligence Service has such a big hole this time, what explanation can you make for this."
Xu Jun turned his face to Kirsten and said coldly.
"My Führer, can I ask what is going on? It's worth your anger. ”
Weirle stepped forward and asked respectfully.
"You don't know about this? Oh yes, I haven't had time to inform you yet. ”
Xu Jun looked a little calmer, and he picked up the document and handed it to Weierle.
"Take it and see, I really don't know how to describe it."
Werler took the ravaged document with both hands, smoothed it on his desk, and looked at it carefully. After reading the first paragraph, Weierle's brow slowly furrowed, he raised his eyes to look at Kirsten with an aggrieved face, and then shook his head slightly.
But after reading it again, Weierle's frowning brow began to slowly unfold, and when he read the whole document, a smile appeared on the face of His Excellency the Chief of Staff.
"What do you think about this, Weirle?"
Xu Jun was confused by Weierle's performance, and he couldn't think of anything in that document that deserved the old fox's pleasure.
"It's really infuriating. But, my Führer, I don't think it's worth your anger so much. ”
Weirle said with a relaxed expression.
This is a report from the island of Gernji, which gives a detailed account of the entire operation of the ambush of the British Gomand forces, as well as the final results and losses.
At first, Wheeler thought that the operation had failed, they had only known that the battle had started as expected, but had not received further reports, and Wheeler could see that Xu Jun was concerned about the battle.
If this operation had failed, and the British had not been devastated, or even escaped by them, then not only Xu Jun but also Werler himself would have been angry.
This is an action that he personally participated in the planning under Xu Jun's explanation, and made such detailed preparations in the end, and the responsibility can be borne by the department that implements the plan. And as the chief officer, Kirsten has to be held accountable for this anyway.
But that was not the case now, and the battle was a complete success, and the results were brilliant. The British commando team was almost completely annihilated, and many enemy soldiers were captured, and a large amount of weapons and equipment were captured, which can be said to be a very satisfactory result.
Weierle knew that Xu Jun would not be so angry for the sake of victory, so it should be other reasons that made him angry. Weierle noticed the last part of the document, and he found the reason why Xu Jun was angry, but he couldn't help but laugh a little, His Excellency the Führer really had a childish temper.
"My Führer, the intervention of the Italians does complicate matters, but I think it's also an opportunity for us to at least put the reins in our hands automatically, which is very beneficial for us to plan for the next step.
Of course, the failure of the Intelligence Service to detect this problem in a timely manner was indeed a major mistake. But you should also be considerate of them, after all, they have a lot of work at hand, and the Italian side is not the focus of the intelligence services in the first place. ”
"What do you mean?"
Xu Jun asked with his hand stroking the tabletop and frowning.
"I think you already have the answer."
Weierle respectfully put the document back in front of Xu Jun.
"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes, Weirle."
Xu Jun slowly shook his head and smiled.
"Now listen, Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten, although I am not prepared to punish anyone for this, it does not mean that this is the end of the matter.
Aren't you ashamed to let those laymen and idiots pull off so many tricks under the nose of Odin's eyes?
I don't think I need to say anything more now, honor is maintained by itself. I hope you will act now to regain your lost honor.
This is the first lesson learned since the Eye of Odin's founding, and I hope you will remember it. I don't want to see a second mistake, don't let the enemy humiliate you a second time, or else, I swear some of you won't be as lucky as this time. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency. Please believe that the Eye of Odin will make those who humiliate it pay, and I promise that nothing like this will happen in my hands again. ”
Kirsten slammed the heel of his boot neatly, and saluted Xu Jun with a serious and resolute expression.
"Very good, I hope to see your results soon. And also...... The Special Commando did a good job this time, and I was especially pleased with the commander's ability to deal with the situation, and when they returned to the station, they immediately ordered the commander to come and see me. What's his name? Captain Kaoririch: yes. ”
"Well, Führer, you can also call him Leon, he is Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten...... Pal. ”
Wheeler interjected with a smile on his face.
"Good friends? Oh...... I understand. Then make your ...... A friend has come to see me, and I want to reward him. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency...... But now Leon he, no, Captain Kaorich has a little problem......"
At the mention of Kaoririch, Kirsten's expression suddenly stiffened, and she seemed to be a little worried.
"What's wrong? Is he hurt? ”
"No, my Führer, he is not hurt, just ...... Just ......"
Kirsten said with a pale face, and she seemed a little hesitant about how to report to Xu Jun.
"Don't drumble about what's going on."
Xu Jun had a hunch that something troublesome had happened.
"It's just that we can't contact him now, and after leading a company of troops into that cave, he quickly found his escape target and quickly settled the battle. Kaoririch sent a squad of soldiers back with the captives, and then he led the others to continue the search in the cave. But the report I just received says that the remaining soldiers, including Captain Kaoririch, have mysteriously disappeared. ”
"Missing? What does it mean to be missing? Xu Jun was stunned for a moment.
"That means I can't find them." Weirle said on the sidelines.
"I understand what it means to be missing, to be gone, to be missing, to be unable to be contacted. What I want to know is what is going on, that one company of special commandos will not melt into the air out of thin air. Why didn't the report mention that there were troops missing, and did you want to hide it from me? Xu Jun's face turned cold again.
"No, it's not like that. We are intensifying our search for them, maybe they just got lost in the cave, maybe they have been found now. The commander of the garrison believed that anything could happen until he got a definite answer, so he did not include this in the report.
We're searching for them in every effort, and I think we'll find out soon, but you won't be able to see Captain Kaoririch until you find them. Kirsten bowed his head in fear.
"I understand, I understand your mood right now, if you have any special needs, you can come to me immediately, and you must find those missing troops."
"Yes, my Führer, thank you very much, my Führer." Kirsten replied with red eyes.
"Now you go out first, I still have questions to discuss with Chief of Staff Weierle, about this matter, first file it as a first-class secret, investigate the responsible person and the whole story, and write a detailed report to me within a week."
"Yes. Your Excellency, Your Excellency Chief of Staff Weirle, then I will retire. ”
Kirsten nodded to Xu Jun and Weierle again, then respectfully retreated to the door, opened the door and walked out.
"You scared her earlier, my Führer. Are you really angry about the things of the Italians? ”
Weierle turned his face to Xu Jun and asked with a smile.
"Sit down, Weirle."
Xu Jun raised his hand and pointed to the chair in front of his desk.
"The Italians did make me angry, I felt insulted. The Italians had the audacity to play a conspiracy in my sphere of influence, and it was clear that they did not take me seriously at all, and had no idea how I would react to it. ”
Xu Jun opened the humidor on the table and took out a cigar, and then viciously cut off a cigarette butt with the cigar.
"I can understand your feelings, my Führer. Who would have thought that the French would be used by Italian intelligence. This matter is not as simple as it seems, the Italians must have some ulterior motives, and it seems that the great Caesar is ready to make a move. ”
Weierle picked up the lighter on the table and lit a cigarette for Xu Jun.
"I think so, that idiot must be going crazy."
Xu Jun smiled and spat out a cloud of smoke.
"By the way, did I really scare her out of her?"
"Who?" Wehrle asked, tilting his head.
"Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten."
"Oh, I think you're trying to punch her, but a little harder." The old fox wagged its tail leisurely.
"yes, it looks like we'll have to find a chance to make amends, and now let's see what trouble we have. Well, Wheeler, how much do you know about the country of the Japanese Empire......"
"Not much, they seem to make a food called dumplings, which is very delicious."
"Are you really sure which country you're talking about? Weirle. ”
