Murder? (Above)

Although Xu Jun was very willing to continue to complete the review, which had turned into a personal performance, the generals and marshals did not have this idea, and they would not allow the German leader to continue to stay in such a dangerous environment, Xu Jun had no choice but to give up his plan.

Everyone could see that order at the site of the parade was now on the verge of spiraling out of control, and no one could guarantee that there was no other British spy who wanted to murder the Führer lurking in that fanatical group of officers.

Under the persuasion of the generals and marshals around him, Xu Jun had to stop his review, but His Excellency was not prepared to waste any opportunity to impress those officers.

Before being surrounded by a group of generals and officials to leave the clearing, the Imperial Ducái, who was desperately exuding the "spirit of a king", once again turned around and waved goodbye to those officers, with that bright smile on their faces, which made those fanatical officers immediately "shake their bodies" and then let out a tsunami-like cheer again.

The Imperial Leader was very pleased with the effect of his final performance, and he triumphantly led away the generals and marshals who had been reduced to passers-by in the eyes of the officers.

As a result of that serious "accident", all other follow-up activities originally prepared by the High Command were immediately cancelled.

Originally Feng. Marshal Brauchitsch planned to let the Führer leave this place of right and wrong immediately, and he was even ready to personally lead a team to escort the Führer to the headquarters of the High Command, but Xu Jun refused on the grounds that he suddenly felt a little tired and wanted to rest, so all the generals and officials had to accompany the Führer back to his special train to rest.

"Hi. Reinhardt! ”

The soldiers of the Jingwei Flag Team standing at the door of Xu Jun's office car saluted neatly with guns.

Xu Jun nodded at the young guard, and the young soldier hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door for the Führer.

"Oh? Why are you here? Is everything taken care of? ”

The first thing Xu Jun saw when he walked into the carriage was Weierle sitting on the sofa at his desk, and the chief of staff was now leisurely holding a cup of coffee and reading several documents on the coffee table.

"Welcome back, my Führer!"

Seeing Xu Jun come in, Weierle hurriedly put down the coffee cup in his hand and stood up from the sofa and nodded.

"Sit, Weierle, your side is all settled."

Xu Jun took off his military hat and handed it to Feng, the adjutant of life who was standing on the side. Tysenhofen then walked briskly to his desk while unbuttoning his military uniform.

"Just as we planned, my Führer." Wierle replied with a smile.

"yes, I'm happy."

Xu Jun took off his military uniform and threw it on the filing cabinet next to his desk, and then slumped down on the exquisite antique chair.

"It's really exhausting me this time."

"My Führer, do you want me to make you a cup of tea or coffee?"

The adjutant of faithful life walked to Xu Jun's side, picked up the beautiful marshal uniform from the filing cabinet, and then asked respectfully.

"Oh, I'd like to have some wine now, and you'd better get some ice if you can." Xu Jun leaned comfortably on the soft back of the chair and replied lazily.

"Yes, my Führer, is it still the one you drank yesterday?"

Xu Jun nodded, and the life adjutant nodded elegantly and walked out of the carriage.

"My Führer, I think I should now congratulate you on having once again taken control of everything, and in such a way that no one could have imagined, and I have great admiration for your courage and wisdom." Wehrle said with a smile as he sat on the couch.

"Don't flatter me anymore, Your Excellency Chief of Staff. It was completely different from what I had thought beforehand, I never thought it would be so risky this time, and to be honest, I never wanted to try it a second time, this kind of exercise is really bad for my heart. ”

Xu Jun picked up the handkerchief next to the desk, wiped his face, and then stood up and walked towards Weierle.

"My Führer, you have succeeded anyway, and I think we can now consider how to extract greater benefits from this matter."

Weierle owed a debt and gave up his place to Xu Jun.

"Let me catch my breath first, Weirle. You don't know how nervous I was when those two idiots rushed at me, and although I had been mentally prepared, when I found myself facing the muzzles of two submachine guns that breathed fire, no preparation was of any avail, and I was almost on the verge of running away. Xu Jun took a deep breath of air, and then sat down beside Weierle.

"It's a human instinct, and if it were me, I can't guarantee that I could do better than you. Besides, you didn't run away, and that alone is enough to prove to everyone that you have more courage than ordinary people. Moreover, the reward you have received from this experience will more than compensate for the shock you have received, and I believe that by virtue of this experience, your prestige among the German team and the people will reach a higher level, and the other benefits you will gain from this assassination afterwards will also be immeasurable. Werler said brightly.

"Hehe, Weierle, I just found out that you are so good at comforting people." Xu Jun smiled and patted Weierle's shoulder.

At that moment, there was a soft knock on the door of the carriage.

"Führer, Feng. Field Marshal Brauchitsch and General Jodl want to see you. The guards outside the door loudly reported.

"Invite them in." Xu Jun stood up and pulled his shirt that was a little wrinkled, and Wei Erle on the side quickly stood up.

"My Führer!"

Feng. Brauchitsch and Yodel stood up and saluted respectfully as soon as they entered the door.

"My Excellency Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency the Chief of Operations, is there anything you have to do?"

Xu Jun asked with a smile after nodding and saluting.

"This ......"

Feng. Brauchitsch looked at Yodel beside him, and then said with an embarrassed expression.

"Nothing, we just want to come and see you and send you our heartfelt condolences."

"Yes, such a terrible thing happened at the welcome party organized by the High Command, and I and His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief have an unshirkable responsibility. My Führer, I do not know how to express to you the guilt and trepidation that I now feel in my heart. Yodel went on to say that the Chief of Operations' full forehead was now covered with beads of sweat.

"Well, the nature of this matter is very serious." Xu Jun looked at them lightly, and more cold sweat suddenly broke out on the foreheads of the two of them.

"But ......"

Xu Jun paused deliberately, and glanced at the two subordinates coldly, Yodel's expression was quite calm, but Xu Jun found that his trouser legs were shaking abnormally, and the commander-in-chief of the German armed forces, Feng. Marshal Brauchitsch's tense face was already showing signs of intermittent cramps.

"You don't have to worry about the responsibility, after all, I'm still standing here, and I haven't been killed by those two assassins."

"My Führer, this ......"

"I don't think we're going to stand here, let's sit down first." Xu Jun interrupted Feng. Brauchitsch's words, he turned around and walked to the couch and sat down.

"Thank you, my Führer."

Weierle, who had been standing on the side, pulled two chairs for the trembling commander-in-chief and the chief of operations, and the two generals sat in front of Xu Jun solemnly.

"Ah, General Weierle, you're here too, it's been a long time."

Feng. Brauchitsch and Jodel only found out about Werler's existence at this time, and it seems that they are really too nervous.

"Hehe, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency the Chief of Operations, I haven't seen you for a long time." Weirle smiled and nodded.

"Okay, everyone is familiar with it, so there's no need to be polite, let's get down to business now." Xu Jun opened a Nanmu cigar box inlaid with exquisite silver lace on the coffee table in front of him and took out a cigar from it.

"The finest cigars, captured from a British transport, only got three boxes of one hundred and fifty cigars, and the navy sent them to me." Xu Jun handed the cigar box to the two uneasy subordinates.

"This ...... Thank you, my Führer, I haven't smoked this cigarette for a long time. "Feng. Brauchitsch respectfully took a cigar from the box.

"Thank you, my Führer, I've had some colds these days." Yodel shook his hand and refused.

"Then pay attention to your body, General Yodel. Well, I know you're very nervous right now, and I would be the same. ”

Xu Jun handed the box to Weierle beside him, then picked up a lighter on the table and lit a cigar.

"I don't blame you for that, I never doubted the loyalty of you two to me, you can rest assured. You are the people I trust most in the High Command, and how can I punish you for such stupidity, and I will rely on your ability and loyalty for a long time to come to accomplish the cause of German revival. ”

Xu Jun said with a smile after exhaling a cloud of clear smoke leisurely. Hearing that Xu Jun was not prepared to hold them accountable and still maintained his trust in them, Feng. Brauchitsch and Yodel breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly eased.

"You are such a merciful leader, and I swear that I will do everything in my power to help you accomplish your great cause, my Führer. But aren't you really angry about it? Knowing that this was a premeditated despicable assassination against you by the British, how are you going to take revenge on those despicable Britons? And in my experience, there must have been some traitors within us involved, because such an assassination would have been impossible to succeed without internal response. Do you just care so much about it? Or do you have other plans? ”

Feng. Brauchitsch seemed to want to test Xu Jun's attitude.

"I care very much, my Commander-in-Chief, and I am not only concerned but also extremely angry about it. I was talking to Chief of Staff Werler about this, and I think those involved must be held accountable, and punished with the severest punishment, both against the British and for traitors within us. Because the dignity of Germany is at stake! The assassination of a Reich head planned by a foreign government is like a slap in the face of the people of the Reich in front of the whole world, an insult to the entire German people, and a flagrant violation of our noble fighting spirit. ”

The two giants of the High Command hurriedly expressed their strong support for the Führer's decision, although they did not know who the Führer's mouth was about the criminals, but it was estimated that it should be some idiots on the island.

"I have issued an order to investigate this matter closely, and now the Gendarmerie has begun to investigate all the officers present, and I believe that the results will be available soon. My Führer, we will surely find out all the culprits involved in this matter, and I assure you that I will take charge of the matter myself, and I will give you a satisfactory answer. "Feng. Brauchitsch said loudly.

"Yes, my Führer, we have brought all those present under control, and our inquiries within the troops of the outer defense are also being carried out, and these assassins have been so openly infiltrated into the ranks of the gendarmerie, Feng. General Bock has already ordered the arrest of his gendarmerie commander, and someone must pay for his stupidity. My Führer, please give us some time, and we will surely get to the bottom of this matter, and the honor of the German Army is at stake. Yodel continued.

"However, there is one problem that has been bothering me from the beginning......"

Feng. Brauchitsch hesitated, his eyes glancing at yodel as he spoke.

"My Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I know what you want to ask." Xu Jun smiled and flicked the ashtray with the ashtray, then glanced at Weierle, who immediately smiled and nodded at Xu Jun.

"You want to ask me why I didn't get hurt under that kind of shooting, don't you?"

"This ...... I'm really confused, my Führer. "Feng. Brauchitsch replied with a respectful nod.

"Hehe, I think you must be the only one who has the same doubts."

"Indeed, although I explained it by miracles at the time, you know ......" Feng. Brauchitsch said with a wry smile.

"My Excellency Commander-in-Chief, it seems that I have to tell you the truth. Miracles...... Hehe, how is this possible. But the haste of His Excellency the Marshal impressed me in this matter. Xu Jun stood up and walked to the desk.

"Miracles, if there were miracles, there would be no war in this world."

Xu Jun opened the drawer of his desk and took out a small box and a folder from inside.

"Feng. Field Marshal Brauchitsch, General Jodl, what you have heard and seen below is a state secret, and this matter is known only to a few of my most trusted men and those involved in the matter, and there are less than ten in all of Germany combined. So please keep this secret very closely, for if it were to be leaked it would cause very serious damage to Germany, you must remember that. Xu Jun put the document and the small cardboard box on the coffee table.

"My Führer. I understand the meaning of state secrets, please believe in my loyalty. Yodel said loudly.

"It is because of his belief in our loyalty that the Führer told us this secret, General Yodl. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Führer for the trust he has placed in us. "Feng. Brauchitsch continued.

"Okay, you can open the table and look at it."

Xu Jun raised his chin to the two.

"This is...... Bullet? ”

Feng. Brauchitsch eagerly opened the small cardboard box, only to find that it was full of shiny pistol bullets. Brauchitsch poured a bullet out of the cardboard box and held it in his hand to look at it carefully, but no matter how he looked at it, it was an ordinary pistol bullet.

"Your observation is so sharp, hehe, this is indeed a bullet, my Excellency, Commander."

Xu Jun smiled from Feng with a puzzled expression. Brauchitsch took the bullet in his hand. "But this is no ordinary bullet, it was a useless invention made by the experts of the Imperial Security Service, but now it seems that this thing was literally prepared for this assassination. You see. ”

Xu Jun pinched the bullet that shone with a metallic light and then crushed it hard, what happened next made the two generals and marshals almost drop their jaws in shock, the bullet shattered under the crushing of Xu Jun's fingers, and a pinch of black powder fell from Xu Jun's fingers onto the coffee table.

"This ...... Here's what's going on. ”

"This is a full-blown empty cartridge, my Excellency Commander-in-Chief."

Xu Jun said proudly.

"The warheads of these bullets are pressed and molded by fire, and the outside is coated with an almost realistic metallic coating. The bullet of this bullet burns out in the chamber before it is fired out of the muzzle, and a bullet without a bullet cannot hurt anyone. Now you understand why I am safe, my Commander-in-Chief. ”

Xu Jun took out a handkerchief and wiped off the fire crumbs on his hands.

"I see, my Führer. However, you said earlier that this bullet was specially prepared for this assassination, which I don't understand a little bit, can you explain it more specifically? Yodel poured a bullet out of the cardboard box and carefully observed it in front of his eyes.

"Because this kind of thing is useless except to fool some stupid assassins."

Xu Jun said with a smile.

"This bullet was originally intended to be used by those intelligence officers as training bullets, and Heydrich's stupid thought that this kind of appearance could make his intelligence officers more combat-oriented during training, and it could also deceive unwitting enemies on certain occasions, and sometimes it could save the lives of those intelligence officers. But what I didn't expect was that because the coating on the warhead could not make the warhead completely sealed, this bullet could not be stored for a long time, as long as it encountered rainy and humid weather, this bullet would lose its effect due to moisture. So this kind of thing can only be thrown aside as garbage. ”

"I finally understand, my Führer, that you must have received information that someone was going to assassinate you posing as a gendarme, so you had someone replace the bullets in the gendarmerie weapons with these empty cartridges. I didn't expect that you had already prepared for it, and it seems that our investigation is also a waste of energy, and I think you must have identified the people involved in this matter long ago. Yodel said with a wry smile.

"No, I didn't replace all the gendarmes' bullets, in fact only the two Assassins had them in their weapons. But one thing you are right, I do know everything about it, the assassination plan has been under my control from the beginning, and I have even personally participated in the development of the assassination plan. Xu Jun said with an indifferent smile.

"What do you mean to say...... You arranged this assassination by yourself? Are those two assassins your men? My Führer. You're confusing me even more, why would you do that? "Feng. Brauchitsch was taken aback after hearing Xu Jun's words, and he asked with a raised brow and a puzzled question.

"Where do you think, how could I arrange a farce to assassinate myself, do you think I'm such a boring person?" Xu Jun looked at Feng coldly. Brauchitzi.

"This ...... I'm sorry, my Führer. ”

"However, it cannot be said that what you said is completely wrong, my Excellency Commander-in-Chief. Indeed, I was only involved in some way in the assassination against me. However, the original planner and the actual cāo author were on the other side of the strait. It was a battle without gunpowder, and now it seems...... I am the final victor. ”
