Chapter 546: Medical Team
The next day, Qin Chuan rushed back to Frankfurt smoothly.
After returning to the Security Bureau, Colonel Koch immediately took Qin Chuan to the side of the lounge, looked out the window nervously, and then said in a low voice: "The plan has failed, these hateful Czechs!" β
"Did it fail?" Qin Chuan asked rhetorically.
Colonel Koch handed over a document and said: "This is information from Prague!" β
Qin Chuan opened it and saw that it was a medical report about Heydrich: "The left chest is about a laceration in the paravertebral area of the eighth to tenth thoracic vertebrae, and the wound is about 10 centimeters. The bleeding was non-stop, and the diagnosis was left traumatic pneumothorax; hemiseptal laceration; There is a possibility of laceration of the spleen and pancreas! β
"They had surgery!" Colonel Koch continued: "At first he refused because he did not trust the Czech doctors, until they brought in the German doctor Professor Holbaum, who was in Prague, the president of the German University of Surgery, and they found a large fragment of a grenade embedded in the spleen and performed a splenectomy, which was said to have been successful." β
Colonel Koch said "him" and "their" for a while, and it was a little confusing to speak...... This is because Colonel Koch did not dare to call people by their first names, but even if they did not call people by their first names, anyone who heard this would have guessed that it was Heydrich.
Qin Chuan casually handed back the medical report in his hand.
"You don't look nervous?" Colonel Koch looked at Qin Chuan with some confusion.
"Why be nervous?" Qin Chuan asked rhetorically.
"God!" Colonel Koch said: "They just blew him up if he ......"
Speaking of which, Colonel Koch will not go any further.
But Qin Chuan had already understood what Colonel Koch meant...... Heydrich is also a man, and if he can recover, he will inevitably mobilize the Gestapo to fight back in an all-out way.
Although Colonel Koch and Qin Chuan did almost a dimetic job, the problem is that this assassination happened after the conflict between Heydrich and Qin Chuan, and the biggest beneficiaries were Colonel Qin Chuan and Koch...... Himmler, to be exact.
Heydrich knew very well that this matter was related to Qin Chuan and others.
But Heydrich had bitterness that he could not say.
The reason is simple, it all stems from Heydrich's plan to try to stop Qin Chuan from making counterfeit banknotes, and this plan was even approved and supported by Hitler, and once it was exposed, even Heydrich was confused.
"It's up to the national leaders!" Qin Chuan said.
"What do you mean?" Colonel Koch asked.
"You know!" Qin Chuan said.
Colonel Koch nodded slightly, as if he understood something.
At this time, Himmler was still in the Chancellery in Berlin, and Hitler was in the Chancellor's conference room, and he was furious: "Director of the General Directorate of State Security, he is responsible for the security of the Reich...... There was no escort for his travels! It is a disgrace to the Reich and a grave dereliction of duty to be seriously wounded by the assassination of two crappy Czech partisans, and we must not only investigate the murderers, but also hold them accountable! β
But in fact, this has nothing to do with the German convoy, and the reason is still because of Heydrich's pride, or conceit...... In order to strengthen his image as a pro-citizen and to show how well he governed Bohemia, Heydrich did not carry a bodyguard with him on his foreign visits and often rode in an open-top car. Despite the fact that two months ago one of his right-hand men, SS Brigade Captain Walter Brown. Starek's assassination by Czech partisans did not change his habit.
"I'm going to make them pay for it!" Hitler waved his hand angrily and said: "Let them arrest 10,000 Czechs and immediately execute all political prisoners in prison." A reward of 1,000,000 marks is offered for the arrest of the suspect, and anyone found assisting the attacker will be shot along with his family! β
This order was not carried out because Hermann, who was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Bohemian Protectorate. Frank objected......
After the German invasion of European countries, they tended to reuse local Germans.
On the one hand, the reason was Hitler's racism, which believed that Germans were inherently superior to other peoples, and that Germans should unite and stand on the same front to fight the enemy.
On the other hand, the local Germans are more down-to-earth...... They speak the local language, grew up locally, have local connections, etc., so borrowing them to rule is more acceptable to the locals.
Frank was a German from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his positions in Bohemia were state secretary and commander of the SS and police.
After receiving Hitler's order, he reported to the FΓΌhrer: "Your Excellency, all the evidence we have obtained in the investigation proves that this is the participation of Britain, and that the aim of the British is to intensify the contradictions between us and the Protectorate, and if such draconian measures are taken, it will play into the hands of Britain and cause more problems in the Protectorate, which is by no means what we want to see!" β
Evidence of British involvement in the assassination was also laid out in detail after the telegram, as well as the confessions of the captives.
Hitler realized that the British were using the manpower of the Czech government-in-exile to sow discord, and finally withdrew the order and chose to take other action.
Himmler, of course, was not concerned with these issues, and he remained silent on these events.
Because he had been thinking about a question in his mind: Is this incident related to that "legendary sergeant"?
If it doesn't matter, he just pushed the "legendary sergeant" to confront Heydrich, and then Heydrich had an accident...... Wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?
If anything, is the method of this "legendary sergeant" too harsh?
Himmler wasn't even mentally prepared for it, and the result was decided...... You know, that's Heydrich.
Himmler was initially a little worried that there would be any clues that would point to the Security Bureau or the "legendary sergeant", but when the Bohemian side concluded that the British were behind the scenes, Himmler was relieved...... If it was done by the "legendary sergeant", it was also done neatly and without leaving a trace at all.
That's why Himmler dared to take the next step.
"Your Excellency!" Himmler said: "I think the most important thing for us at the moment is to take Heydrich back from death!" β
"What do you think?" Hitler asked.
"I recommend someone to you!" Himmler said: "My friend and my personal physician, Karl. Gobhardt, who was the attending surgeon at the Hohenlitsyn medical institution, a professor of surgery at the University of Berlin, and the chief surgeon of the SS medical department, I think we should send a more trustworthy and professional medical team to Bohemia! β
