Chapter 328: Military Parade (Exit)

As the last team of half-ton trucks drove past the viewing platform, the much-anticipated military parade finally came to an end.

But don't think that's the end of it, the German New Year celebrations will continue until the early hours of the next morning.

Although Germany celebrates the New Year every year, this year's event is the most spectacular since the Nazis came to power. The amount of human and material resources expended by the government also broke the historical record, but this event was related to the historical glory of the Greater German Empire, so even if it was invested, it was worth the effort.

The Nazi Party has always been keen to hold such mass events, which can propagate the ideas of the organization and curry favor with the grassroots people in Germany, who are the most solid cornerstone of Nazi rule, and Hitler will not be without purpose.

According to the original plan, after the morning ceremony, the German Führer will hold a luncheon at the Chancellery to entertain all foreign guests, generals and diplomats participating in the parade.

Since the new German head of state came to power, he has rarely appeared at such social events, especially since he has been moving around Europe for nearly a month, and even senior officials of the German government have rarely had the opportunity to meet him.

This luncheon was a precious opportunity to brush up on the presence of the Führer, and almost all the leading figures in the German military and political circles came, and this banquet invitation has become a status symbol.

In the early years, the Nazi Party would often sell places for such banquets at a clear price in social circles, and those who were willing to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of marks to mix a meal, of course, could not just eat for that bite, either agree with the Nazi Party's ideas from the bones, or use it as a political investment, trying to get a little bit of incense with the Nazis.

However, the specifications of today's banquet are too high, and just the phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren who have the titles of princess and prince can make up two tables of mahjong for you. Although the political leaders of various European countries are not very complete, the people who should have come have basically come, so any accident on such an occasion will inevitably turn into an international incident.

In this case, who would dare to make money in it and do tricks, not to mention that Himmler's courage was not very big.

At this time, several observant foreign reporters noticed a very unusual situation, the expression of the German Führer when he left the arena was too serious, and he could feel the downright murderous aura when he looked at it from afar.

If the head of state behaved solemnly and gently when he was on the stage, like a sea of divine grace, then when he stepped down, he really showed everyone what it means to be as powerful as a prison.

It seems that I don't know which link has gone wrong in front of me, which makes the Führer unhappy, but all that can be known is that no matter who is ultimately responsible, it is obvious that you must be prepared to take off a layer of skin.

The Führer hurriedly walked down the stairs of the parade platform, completely losing his usual calmness, and his face was gloomy like a thundercloud on a summer afternoon.

He didn't even follow diplomatic etiquette and shake hands with a few diplomatic envoys who came forward to get close, but made a blocking gesture to the officers of the guard flag team standing by the stage, and then threw down the pile of embarrassed-looking diplomats and walked quickly to the Mercedes Benz that was waiting on the side of the road.

Tysenhowen opened the car door neatly, and the Führer bent down and sat in the back seat, frowning lightly, looking preoccupied.

"Randolph, go back to the Chancellery immediately, I remember that there are some important matters that need to be dealt with immediately." Xu Jun instructed Randolph, who had just sat in the driver's seat.

"Is there something wrong? My Führer. Dogan asked, leaning on the other side of the car door.

"There's nothing wrong with that, Dogen, don't worry, close the door." Xu Jun tried his best to make his tone calmer.

Now there are at least two dozen reporters in the stands, holding their cameras and pressing the shutter in this direction, and the flashes are almost connected.

"Shall we not go to the armory later? My Führer. Tysenhowen sat in the passenger seat, and he turned his head to Xu Jun and asked.

Located on Unter den Linden, bordered by the Spree Waterway to the east and Humboldt University to the west, the Berlin Armory was once Berlin's armory and military factory at the beginning of the 19th century, and the building was converted into a military museum by the Prussian royal family, where a large number of precious war memorabilia and military artifacts were stored.

Originally, after the military parade on this side of Parisplatz, Xu Jun would transfer to the Berlin Armory, where he would carry out the next commemorative event, where he would give a speech to remember the blue threads of the German ancestors, carry forward the military tradition of Prussia since the founding of the country, and show off the brilliant victory of Germany in this European war, especially under his leadership.

This kind of scar-unmasking activity is not very suitable for foreign guests, and it is planned that the dignitaries will be sent to the Prime Minister's Office for a short rest, and then attend a reception banquet at noon.

"I've changed my plans, it's an order." The Führer replied loudly with his hand on his forehead.

Speeches like this can be delivered at any time, so why bother crowding into the crowd at this time of the day.

"I see, I'll go and relay your decision immediately." Dogan nodded and closed the door, then tapped the roof of the car to signal that Randolph was ready to start.

Randolph had apparently sensed that the Führer was in a bad mood, and at this time sat in the driver's seat without saying a word, honestly like a good baby.

Randolph did not follow the Führer to the review stand, when Xu Jun was on the stage to reprimand Fang Xuan, Randolph was on the side of the road under the review stand, watching the military parade with great interest, and cheering with the audience, which was really addictive.

Dougan really knows the character of this subordinate, and to let Randolph stand motionless on the stage as a guard of honor is simply asking for this guy's life.

At this time, hearing the order of the Führer, Randolph tossed the gear lever and stepped on the accelerator, and the Mercedes-Benz bulletproof car sped out of the Brandenburg Gate like a sharp arrow, and then turned left at the intersection in the direction of the Chancellery.

"What went wrong? Where is the Führer going to go? Willer asked Doagan anxiously, and Himmler followed closely behind the chief of staff, looking nervously at the SS general.

"The later event was cancelled, the Führer changed his plans, and he seemed to have remembered some important issue and hurried back to the Prime Minister's Office to deal with it." Dougan reports to Werle.

"An important question? Did the Führer say so? Weirle asked.

"Yes, he said it himself."

"And what about luncheon? Did the Führer mention the luncheon? Himmler interjected anxiously. If the Führer had a whim, even the luncheon had been cancelled, it would have caused a big incident.

"The luncheon will be held on time as originally planned, and now we will start diverting the guests and arranging vehicles to take them to the Prime Minister's Office to rest." Dougan replied.

"Well, I'll go and inform Goebbels now. I'll leave the rest to you, General Dogan. Himmler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then turned and ran to Goebbels, who was looking up at the sky from the stands.

The propaganda minister has been paralyzed all year round, and today he is even more paralyzed, especially after the head of state suddenly said goodbye, he tried his best to pretend to be happy and angry, in order to hide the uneasiness in his heart.

This is because he is personally responsible for the propaganda preparations for the later stage of this military parade.

"What went wrong? Isn't the Führer angry? Is it because of those slogan banners? I know—" Goebbels dragged Himmler to the side of the road, and then whispered to the other man how he was already thinking about how to ask the Führer for forgiveness.

"The Führer was not angry, he just suddenly thought of something important and hurried back to the Prime Minister's Office to deal with it."

"Really, just thinking of something urgent?" Goebbels asked, grabbing Himmler's arm. Don't look at the Minister of Propaganda of the Enlightenment, he is not tall, and the strength in his hands is not small at all.

"Dogen told me personally." Himmler writhed to break free of his arm.

"I see, yes, that's right! It really seems like the Führer's approach, he always puts the country first, and he must have just thought of something extremely important. Ah, what a great man this is, so wise and courageous, who has all the virtues of mankind in one. The propaganda minister fell to the ground with a big stone in his heart, and immediately began to habitually tout.

Himmler didn't have time to listen to this kind of sycophancy, and there was still a lot of work to be done for him.

"I suggest you hurry to the Prime Minister's Office now, where you may need your help, and the guests have already begun to leave. By the way, did you see Ribbentrop? ”

"I saw him just now, as if he was there talking to the British envoy." Goebbels turned his head and pointed to a corner of the stand.
