Chapter 611: Erich Raeder

At the Chancellery in Berlin, Germany, Chen Yanlong stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

"Whew! It seems that November 1943 is coming soon, and I don't know what special circumstances will arise in the war situation on the Eastern Front at that time? ”

"I wonder if Manstein and Moder are ready for their winter clothes? Looks like I'm going to have to go to the Eastern Front tomorrow! I don't know why I always feel like there's an unexpected battle there! ”

"I'm not sure! It's better to take a look at it and feel a little more at ease! ”

"At the very least, if something happens that I didn't expect, then I can improve it right away!"

In the end, Chen Yanlong felt deeply uneasy and decided.

"Führer! Did you call me here for anything? ”

At this moment, outside the door of Chen Yanlong's room, a strong baritone voice sounded.

"Come in! It's been a long time since we've seen each other, Marshal Raeder! ”

Hearing this, Chen Yanlong showed a very bright smile and immediately responded.

"That's right! We have only spoken again since January 1943, especially since I resigned! ”

Erich Raeder replied blandly as he pushed the door in.

According to the original historical records, in January 1943, the Atlantic Ocean often blew particularly violent winter storms, and there was a fierce dispute between Raeder and Hitler. The reason for this was that in the autumn of the previous year, the commander of Raeder's cruiser fleet had stopped attacking a well-guarded British convoy at dusk. Hitler was very unhappy with this. On January 6, he brought up the matter again at a meeting, in which Raeder defended his subordinates, and an enraged Hitler rebuked and insulted Raeder, causing the admiral to resign in anger.

Hitler then approved Raeder's resignation and appointed Field Marshal Dönitz as Commander-in-Chief of the Navy on 30 January.

"Thank you so much for coming to see me, I'm worried that you won't see me again!"

"On the 6th of January, and before my insulting remarks to you, and the psychological damage caused, I am here to apologize to you! My Marshal! ”

"I'm sorry, I hope I couldn't control my emotions at that time!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yanlong sincerely apologized to the other party.

“......”

"Your personality has changed a lot! Monarch! It's a little different from the Führer I know! ”

Seeing this, Erich Raeder was very surprised.

"Hmmm! War will change everything, if I am immature and control my emotions, then I am afraid that I will not be able to win the next war! ”

"I provoked this war, and the consequences of defeat can be imagined, and it will also affect the rise of our German Empire!"

"So no matter how tough it is, I can't afford to lose this battle!"

Chen Yanlong's eyes were blazing, staring at Erich Raeder and said.

"Then you called me to the Berlin Chancellery today, what do you have to discuss?"

"If it weren't for Dönitz and Field Marshal Hitthofen asking me to come here to meet you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come so quickly! My Führer! ”

In this regard, Erich Raeder got straight to the point and asked directly.

"I want you to come back and work with Dönitz to assist me in building the most powerful naval force in the Empire!"

"Because now we need more experienced naval marshals and commanders to command operations!"

Chen Yanlong also responded without turning around at all.

"This won't be done! Now that you've made Dönitz a marshal, if you want me to come back as a marshal, then I'm afraid it will make my relationship with Dönitz bad! And I'm still mad at you! I'm worried that we'll continue to argue when I get back! ”

"I don't like this kind of situation very much!"

But Erich Raeder shook his head and refused.
