Chapter 342: Clearing the Universe (4)

As the temperature rises, Berlin's citizens enjoy a much richer nightlife, and most of them like to watch the moonlight on a chair or a hedge at night when frogs and insects are crooking.

After tomorrow is the day of the debriefing of officials at all levels, at this moment, Eric can not sleep, although he also wants to bring down the Air Force Commander-in-Chief Toth and his comrades overnight, but he also finds that Toth in his eyes does not seem to be so stubborn and evil, for several years, the Air Force weapons and equipment have not been improved much, but Toth has trained thousands of excellent pilots with those old aircraft, this number is quite staggering, once the BF-10 is all in service, The air force of the German Confederation could immediately form a formidable combat force.

A cool breeze blew in through the window, and Eric remindedly walked over to an oversized map of the world, drawing a red line from land to sea with a pencil, and carefully calculating the distance between them. Clearly, he wants aircraft carriers carrying BF-10s or more advanced fighters to farther places, including the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and it was Max calling, who had not left Germany since Eric and Ananta were in distress in the east.

"Heh, it seems that Mr. Gu Chang is also a night owl." Eric said with a smile.

"If Mr. President is also a night owl, then Ben Night Cat would love to get together with the other cat now." Max joked along with Eric's words.

"Where are you?" Eric asked.

"It's right next door to you." Max replied.

"Okay, come here, I'll wait for you in the office." Eric was so happy.

Less than a cigarette was needed, and Max was in the president's office.

"Drink something? My Excellency, Wine? Brandy or coffee? Eric asked.

"Not busy, not busy, tonight's night owls aren't just the two of us." Max looked at Eric mysteriously, "Isn't it true that Mr. President can't sleep, simply, let's have a sleepless night today, how about it?" ”

"Good! Mr. Chief Gu is not stingy with sleep, and I am willing to accompany him, but I don't know which other guests are coming to visit tonight, and I am ready to prepare when I say it. After Dinah and her son went to Denmark, Eric felt very lonely and was very happy whenever someone came to accompany him.

"Mr. President, you are notoriously impatient, listen carefully to these chaotic footsteps, listen, aren't they all here?" Max pointed behind him and said to Eric with a smile.

At this moment, Ananta squeezed in with Defense Secretary Brauchitsch, Interior Secretary Hans Luther, CIA Director Colmar von Ramsden, Military Intelligence Director Earhart Cecil, FBI Director Oliver, Federal Investigator Madina Shirna, Federal Investigator Madazza Pampfi, Director of the Second Logistics Division of the Ministry of Defense Walter Ahn, Army Commander-in-Chief Rundstedt, Logistics Director Werner von Blomburg, and others.

The sheer size of the formation stunned Eric because these military and police figures usually don't usually visit late at night, especially Max himself.

The small presidential office was crowded for a while, and the military attaché saluted and the civilian officials greeted him, leaving Eric overwhelmed.

"There are so many people, I think we'd better go to the operational command of the presidential palace," Max said in Eric's ear.

Eric, who now understood everything, nodded quietly.

"Okay gentlemen, it's too crowded here, don't look for it if you don't find a seat, take the instructions of Mr. President, and everyone follow Minister Hans Luther to the operational headquarters of the presidential palace and wait, and we will go there immediately." Max announced loudly.

At this time, only Chief of Counsel Max, Defense Minister Brauchitsch, and CIA Director Colmar von Ramsden were left in the office.

"Dear Mr. President, now the snake is out of its hole...... Colmar succinctly recounted the important information the CIA had obtained.

"Are the sources reliable?" Eric asked calmly.

"The intelligence is very accurate, and on the night of the president's distress, one of the sentries at the forward civilian outpost arranged earlier by Toth returned to the base to report the news, and after several days of running, he is now safely confessed to the CIA, and the soldier is currently in our protective custody in the CIA." Colmar said.

"According to credible information, Prey von Henrik lobbied in Berlin and the city of Potsdam, and some retired veterans of the imperial period were seduced by them and threatened to petition en masse and besiege the presidential palace, but they have been dissuaded by federal investigators Madina Hirna and Madazza Pampfi, among others." Max said.

"How's it going?" Eric asked, frowning.

"The veterans found out that they had fallen for Prey von Henrik, and they clearly realized their mistakes, and they all said that they would not participate in this farce." Max said confidently.

"At present, the most difficult thing is the civilian armed forces and air force ground support units in the eastern region, which are a force to be reckoned with." "Although the CIA and MIA had been alerted in advance, there was a risk that the task force would be marginalized and unable to act because of the caution of Lieutenant General Pree von Henrik," Brauchitsch said. ”

"If you don't die, you won't die, it seems that this Air Force Logistics Lieutenant General Transportation Director named Prey von Henrik can't hold his breath anymore." Eric's heart was heavy, he never wanted to kill, but someone was always on the tip of his knife.

"After studying with Minister Brauchitsch and General Rundstedt, the focus of this counterinsurgency is not Thoth, but the civilian armed forces and air force ground crews instigated by Henrik. Max finished speaking, looking at Eric with soliciting eyes.

"Let's go! Let's go to the operational command together. Eric strode out of the office as he spoke, and the others hurriedly followed.

The operational command of the presidential palace is divided into two commands, one on the ground and one underground, which have similar functions but do not overlap geographically. The ground headquarters is located in the presidential palace, and although the underground headquarters is also connected to the presidential palace, the actual area is very far away from the presidential palace, and even reaches the bottom of the mountains outside the palace. The security precautions, communication and liaison, and vigilance of the two operational command centers are almost the same, but the underground combat command centers are much more concealed and safe. In addition to evading air raids by enemy planes, under normal circumstances, the ground command is a permanent command and is also a place that military commanders at all levels are more familiar with.

Almost all military commanders had never been to the underground headquarters of the presidential palace, and even Eric and Brauchitsch, Rundstedt and Stresemann had only rushed in once or twice during several anti-aircraft exercises.

The underground headquarters has been brightly lit for many years, and the ventilation facilities are hidden and efficient, and it is a permanent hidden fortification designed by Stresemann according to Danish engineers and completed by the construction of the building engineers at the beginning of the federal government.

In the Ground Operations Command of the Presidential Palace, everyone was talking about the important matter of the reimbursement, and when they saw the president, Max and others walking in, they immediately stood up in silence.

Eric walked straight to his seat and waved for everyone to sit down. Brauchitsch pressed the button, and the dark green curtain on the east wall slowly parted on both sides, revealing an oversized map of Germany.
