Chapter 603: Can't Wait Any Longer

Ciric, who did not carry any golden fingers, as a World War II fan in later generations, the military knowledge in his mind was the biggest golden finger.

Of course, up to now, there may have been a deviation from the history he has mastered, but, with his plucking, it will definitely develop in his favor!

The defeat of France is only the first step of the long march of 10,000 miles, and after defeating France, it is necessary to immediately prepare to land in Britain across the sea, the sooner the better!

The reason is very simple, of course, it is to completely destroy Britain while isolationism is still the mainstream in the United States and there is no way to support Britain!

Hitler in history made this mistake and rashly launched the war on the Eastern Front without killing Britain, which was the ultimate reason for the defeat of the empire.

Now, now that Ciric has crossed over, he will never make such a mistake!

Ciric was in high spirits, and began to discuss the strategy and tactics of how to attack Britain with his subordinates, and the atmosphere in the conference room was very warm.

However, not all of them are enthusiastic.

For example, sitting on the periphery of the conference table, two German army generals were not interested at all.

Friedrich Fromm, commander of the garrison (i.e., reserves), was responsible for recruiting new units for the Third Reich, organizing their training and going into battle.

Erwin von Witzleben, commander of the 3rd Army garrison of Berlin and commander of the 3rd Military District of Greater Berlin.

Neither of them had a chance to go to the battlefield, so they were left behind, and at the same time, according to their ranks, they were enough to enter the headquarters of the base camp.

They can listen to what other people are talking about, and no one will ask their opinion anyway, they just stay silent.

In normal times, it was enough for them to stay, they did not join the party of Shirek, and naturally they were the category of ostracism, but now, this trend of exclusion is even more obvious, and they have no say in the Prussian officer corps.

They could tolerate it, but now, the two exchanged glances, and both saw the restlessness in each other's eyes.

The other officers were talking about how to land in England in one go, and the two of them were already on pins and needles.

Finally, the meeting ended, and the two left one after another, carrying briefcases.

Thirty minutes later, in an inconspicuous room in downtown Berlin.

"Beck, we can't wait any longer, that madman, he's going to ruin the whole of Germany!" When he came in, looking at the man sitting on the couch, Witzler couldn't help but scream.

"Shh Fromm, who came from the other direction, immediately made a move: "Be careful, Gestapo, everywhere, maybe near us." But don't be careless. โ€

Witzleben sat down on the couch and lowered his voice: "We can't wait any longer!" โ€

He looked at the old man who was already at home, Ludwig Beck, who was now their leader.

A few years ago, Beck was dismissed by Hitler for opposing foreign wars, and although Hillek was kind enough to keep him, Beck left the top and chose to retire.

At that time, Beck still had a good impression of Ciric, but now, Beck finally knows that Ciric is even more terrible than Hitler, he is simply a madman!

Once, when Beck was in the army, he tried to stop the expansion of Germany, and he could feel how big the risks were, but unfortunately, he was alone.

Brauchitsch and others did not agree with him at all, and now look at it, the Prussian officer corps is almost all about to be hollowed out.

Shouting for Germany, what did they do?

On the surface, France was defeated, Germany was greatly expanded, and every people were chanting the slogan of long live Ciric, but Beck knew what risks were involved.

Germany is the enemy of the whole world! Don't look at the fact that it is going well now, but, in the foreseeable future, the fate of Germany, I am afraid, will still be the same as the First World War!

Yes, like Ciric's assessment, Beck was a pessimist, he never thought that Germany could conquer the whole world, he only thought about failure.

When Baker retired, he won the respect of many people in the army, so some people spontaneously gathered around Baker, and in this way, a small group was formed.

The mission of this small group is to overthrow Shirek!

The most determined of them all is Witzleben!

As the name suggests, Witzleben is an authentic Prussian officer corps.

On December 4, 1881, Witzleben was born in Breslau to a Prussian saber aristocratic family. The family had raised many officers loyal to the Prussian crown.

After that, Witzleben spent almost all of his life in the army, he fought in the First World War, participated in the first attack on the fortress of Fox near Verdun, and was awarded two Iron Crosses for his meritorious service.

From the experience of Witzleben, it can be seen that he was educated as a strict Prussian officer, and he was also a well-educated "humanitarian".

Because of this, he did not agree with Hitler's actions, and his tone was that after witnessing the Holocaust in the aftermath of the Rรถhm riots, he began to oppose National Socialism ideologically.

In particular, many people were unfortunately implicated in the massacre at that time, including the two generals Schleicher and Bredo, whom Witzleben admired very much.

The seeds of hatred sprouted little by little in Witzleben's heart, and although he remained in the army, his goal gradually became firm.

He is opposed to every foreign expansion of Germany, and this kind of behavior is tantamount to self-destruction, and if he wants to take the future of the German nation as his own responsibility, he must calm down Germany and not fall into the current madness!

Somehow, Witzleben thought of Canaris again, and in the past, Canaris used to come here often, and they interacted with each other.

Canaris, however, was dead, roasted alive with a flamethrower, when the tyrant-like Ciric beckoned Witzleben to sit beside him.

Afterwards, Witzler had lost five pounds, and he couldn't eat for a week.

At that time, could it be that Shirek already knew? Witzleben shook his head and dismissed the idea. If Ciric knew, would he let himself go? I'm sure I'm going to burn myself too.

What you are doing now can only succeed, not fail! If they fail, their entire group will be implicated.

Originally, it was the SS stationed near Berlin, and Ciric's personal guards would be ready to extinguish any sign of rebellion, but now, the SS is on the front!

It was the Third Army that defended Berlin, and Witzleben was the commander of the Third Army!

Can't wait any longer!
