This kind of reception banquet is just a means of public relations, the superior is thinking about winning people's hearts, and the lower person takes the opportunity to contact feelings, and everyone takes what they need, which is completely a happy thing.

Although nearly 1,000 people were eligible to attend the banquet, there were three religions and nine streams, and even if they were blood compatriots, there were also distant and close relatives, so those with honorable status or close ties to the empire were arranged in the indoor dining room, and the leftover media people such as third-rate tabloids could only blow the wind at the table in the patio at the door. It's just that the Führer will go to meet with these people later, and for these little people, this is already a glorious deed that they can boast about for a while.

The German Führer was accompanied by several well-known Nazi dignitaries, such as Propaganda Minister Goebbels and Home Minister Himmler, Deputy Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, and the Führer's Office Martin. Borman, along with Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Raeder and two Field Marshals Brauchitsch and Keitel.

As for the Berlin city government and the Nazi administration, they were not qualified to appear with the Führer, so they had to wait in the dining room early with the media figures. These people are also the most excited group on the scene, and after half a year, they finally waited for this opportunity to share a room with the new head of state.

During Hitler's tenure as Führer, they were often able to accompany the Führer at various large-scale events, which was a testament to their status and seniority in the party, and most people were very proud of it.

Hitler's sudden death in France, many of whom were hit by the ensuing purges, some losing their official positions and others losing their lives, was a common occurrence in the Nazi Party, which had fought fiercely internally. If you don't believe it, you can look back at the stormtroopers, how they were invincible back then, and the result was not that they were overturned to the ground overnight, and all from the leaders to the backbone were bloodily purged.

Reinhart. Feng. Stadler has always kept a low profile in the party, but if he did not have some ability and means, how could he become the deputy head of the Nazi Party and gain Hitler's favor and trust.

The new Führer took over with a number of orders that conflicted with previous Nazi ideals, but few in the party objected to this, because the Führer was the state and he had full power to change policies and ideas. In order to consolidate Nazi rule and win over domestic power, Hitler personally overturned many of the political ideals and rhetoric he had put forward earlier.

"Long live the Führer!" Party officials from Berlin's districts, dressed in brown Nazi administrative uniforms, raise their right arms to declare loyalty to their leader. These people may not be very capable, but they are indeed the solid foundation of Xu Jun's rule, and the grassroots organizations of the Nazi Party that they operate and manage have penetrated into every community and family, and they are the ears and eyes of Xu Jun in society, and in many cases, these grassroots organizations are more effective than the Gestapo of the General Security Bureau.

This is not a joke, the Gestapo under the General Security Bureau, has a total of just over 20,000 detectives on a formal staff, and there are 100,000 non-staff personnel employed, also known as secret agents. In fact, many towns and cities in Germany are not equipped with the Gestapo at all, and the Nazi Party's supervision and management of the local area depends on these grassroots organizations.

The Nazi Party had a very clear administrative structure, the Führer had supreme power, and everyone had to obey his will and orders unconditionally, and the second layer was the Führer's subordinates and allies, the ministers of government and the national leaders, Goebbels and Borman belonged to this class.

The third layer is the Nazi Party regional inspector, each regional leader is responsible for the management and operation of the Nazi party organization in the four administrative districts (states), each state sets up a state leader, and the following is the district leader, followed by the local group leader, responsible for the management of the Nazi Party in a town, and the group is divided into multiple branches, set up branch supervision, responsible for the management of one or several residential communities, under the branch is the block supervision, directly corresponding to a separate street or even a certain building facility, and the lowest level is ordinary Nazi party members, They also have the responsibility to monitor the opinions and thoughts of those around them, such as neighbors and colleagues.

The Nazi party organization as a whole is presented as a tree-like structure with a clear division of labor, and at the top of the tree is the Reich Führer in front of him.

The German cult of authority and collectivism were the result of decades of Nazi spiritual construction, and during the Second Reich, the Germans had no such consciousness in their heads. The Second Empire was not so much a unified country as a federal state in the garb of the Empire, and the hapless emperor overestimated his control over the lower administrative states, and at the same time underestimated the determination of those local nobles and politicians to protect their personal interests.

At the same time, the Nazis succeeded in taking power from the local councils of the administrative states and bringing the local administration under the unified management of the central government, so that until the moment before the collapse of the Nazis, the local power in Germany was still firmly controlled by the Nazi Party.

"The fat man is the newly appointed head of the Labor Office of Berlin's West End, with whom I had dinner last week." Wickwood brags to his new friends how wide his social circle is.

"Looks like you know a lot of government officials, Mr. Wickwood." The gray-haired gentleman who was identified as a "big man" by the other party asked in a low voice.

"Of course, they were very happy when they heard that I was going to do their personal interview." Wickwood said triumphantly.

"Shh A middle-aged blond man at the table motioned for them to stop talking to each other, and Wickwood wanted to talk back or something, but then he saw the gold Nazi badge pinned to his chest, apparently a veteran Nazi member, so Mr. Reporter wisely chose to shut up.

The German Führer is standing on the podium set up on the side of the dining room at this moment, giving a wonderful speech with emotion, and it is no wonder that the whispers on Wickwood's side will be ignored by others, this Nazi party member has behaved as a gentleman enough, and if he wants to change to an SS or stormtrooper on the side, he must directly make Wickwood look good.

"Peace is an incomparably important asset for each and every one of us, and we must cherish this hard-won peace. I have no intention of judging the war that has just ended, but to tell you the truth, I am a beneficiary of the war, and I believe that many of you have benefited from the war. Xu Jun held the podium with both hands, and a smile appeared on his face.

So this not very humorous joke immediately caused the group of Nazi officials below to burst into laughter, which was originally exclusive to Hitler, and now it was Xu Jun's turn to enjoy it.

"Our ideals are sacred, our goals are clear, we are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain this peace that has been bought with the blood of countless soldiers, we are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain the new European order, and we are willing to accept challenges from all sides in order to ensure the continued stability and development of Europe." Xu Jun raised his fist and waved it in front of his chest.

"Germany will keep its promise and swear in God's name that the treaties we have signed are sacrosanct. Germany will never unilaterally tear up its diplomatic agreements and alliances, and this is a point I would like to stress in particular. The Führer shook his index finger.

Xu Jun's speech was for the media, and it carried a lot of information that the people wanted to know, although these contents have been explained in the government announcement, but the words spoken by the head of state himself are more credible to the people.

Media editors and reporters listened attentively to Xu Jun's speech, some of them quickly made notes in their notebooks, and some old fritters even brought shorthand typewriters and crackled directly on the desktop.

"We all know that war is cruel and can cause countless tragedies, and we are not obsessed with war, but we are also not afraid of war. If certain countries want to impose war on the peoples of Europe, then they must first trample on the Wehrmacht. The Imperial Führer's arm swung diagonally downward, like a knight cutting off the head of an enemy.

"I hope that there will never be another war in Europe, and that those tragedies will never be repeated in this land again. Women will no longer lose their husbands and sons, and children can wait every day until their parents return. I want the world to be prosperous and stable, and I want mankind to live and thrive in a peaceful and tranquil environment. "There seemed to be a holy light shining in the German Führer.

"Let's not talk about the content, at least he has a good eloquence like his predecessor." Wickwood couldn't help but whisper.

"Shh Immediately in exchange for the Nazi party's angry glare, Wickwood unnaturally shrunk his neck.

"I would like to announce here, and this is what everyone has been looking forward to, about the peace parade." Xu Jun took a document from the adjutant's hand.

"It was originally scheduled to take place this month, but for some well-known reasons, this military parade had to be postponed. Now, after consultations between several countries, we have finally decided to hold this military parade in Berlin on January 1 next year, the first day of the new year, to celebrate the end of the war in Europe. The fact that we have chosen this day has two meanings: we hold this military parade on the first day of the new year, heralding the arrival of permanent peace in Europe, and also bidding farewell to the war-torn year 1940, when the nations of Europe will never be at war again. Xu Jun waved the document in his hand.

"Many of you here are reporters and editors from major media outlets, and I hope that you will be able to convey what I have said tonight to the people of all countries in its original form. On a personal note, I would like to welcome you all to this banquet once again, and I hope you all have a good appetite tonight and enjoy the delicious feast that follows. In the end, the Führer concluded his pre-dinner speech with a congratulatory message.

His speech did not contain too much political rhetoric, such as Nazi ideology and living space, and did not mention any clichés such as racism and anti-Semitism, otherwise it might have ruined the appetite of many people.

After another victory, the banquet that everyone was looking forward to finally officially began. People in these years are more realistic, and if it is said that it is a dinner party, it can really make people full, unlike those vain reception banquets in later generations, where they have to make up a bowl of instant noodles when they go home after opening.

This is a formal banquet with six courses before and after, German food is known for its authenticity, and at this time the food rationing system is still in place across the country, and although there is a food crisis this year, the content on the table of the German people is still very rich. It's just that the ration of meat is only 500 grams per German per week, so it was obviously impossible to nibble on pork legs and sausages without scruples like later generations, and the most common staple food on the German table was still potatoes that had not changed for hundreds of years.

Many of the people here are foreign journalists, and of course the Germans don't bring out a pot of national soup, which is a Nazi invention to stew a pot of German chowder soup on the street with simple ingredients, and citizens only need to pay a few fennigs to drink a bowl, and the money will be used as a charity donation to help poor residents survive the winter. In fact, this has become a Nazi activity used to show the spirit of national unity, and the former cyborg Jack had drunk the national soup a few times for show, and according to his memory, the taste seemed to be okay, at least in terms of portions.

Unlike the Chinese banquet hall, which moves at every turn with a large table of 12 people, the tables in the banquet hall of the Prime Minister's Office are not large, divided into two types: round tables and square tables, and seats range from four to six people. Xu Jun's table was the largest one in it, and it was all lined with high-ranking military and political officials, Goebbels on the left, Himmler on the right, Brauchitsch sitting directly opposite, and Admiral Raeder on the side.

The banquet dishes are quite traditional, nothing more than potatoes, beef, pork legs, sausages, boiled eggs, roast chicken, and the like. The Germanic people have never had any food culture, when the Romans drank oatmeal with pickled pork, the Germans were still drinking blood in the Black Forest, and the so-called Germanic dishes in later generations were all copied from the Romans, either fried, roasted or stewed, anyway, they were the same as Western cuisine.

Unlike his vegetarian predecessor who hated tobacco and alcohol, Xu Jun is not taboo in meat and vegetables, and he will want to take a bite when he sees anything, he likes to smoke cigars, has a good amount of alcohol, and has good eloquence, so the atmosphere at the table is harmonious.

In the eyes of foodies, everything in the world is only divided into two types: delicious and untasty, and Goebbels is obviously in the column of untasty, not because he is a minister of the empire, but because he is too thin and the meat will get firewood. This is a joke, of course, these two months were the most comfortable days for the Empire's Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, who had the privilege of witnessing the entire process of the Empire's rise as a witness to history.

He had already sensed the dangers of the war, but as Hitler's close friend and Reich's propaganda minister, he had to unconditionally support the Führer's decision. Goebbels was probably the second high-ranking Nazi official in Germany at that time besides Hitler who firmly believed that Germany would win, Goering's garbage could not be included, that guy's brain was already addicted to drugs and stupidity, except for fat and alcohol, the skull was completely empty.

Himmler had no concept of war at all, knowing that the SS national leader would faint blood, and it is said that once in order to show his personal bravery in front of his subordinates, Himmler personally observed a shooting, and the leader was uncomfortable for three days after returning.

The upper echelons of the Nazi Party were full of all sorts of rhetorical rubbish, because such people did not pose a threat to the Führer's dictatorship, and Goebbels knew this quite well, and he was one of the few people in the ranks who were capable of doing things, so he became one of the lucky few survivors of Hitler's team.

Instead of disliking his loyalty to Hitler, Xu Jun gave Goebbels all his trust, like the previous Führer, which moved the propaganda minister's heart to the core, and in return, he vowed to be loyal to the apostle of God.

"Later, at the after-dinner forum, we have arranged for some representatives of the press to meet with you, and they have prepared some questions that will ask you questions at the meeting." Goebbels respectfully reported to Xu Jun. Xu Jun quickly chewed a few bites and swallowed the barbecue in his mouth. After taking a sip of wine, the Führer let out a sigh of satisfaction, and then asked, "Symposium?" ”

"Yes, for about half an hour, it was all important foreign media." Goebbels replied.

"What media are there?" Xu Jun picked up the corner of the napkin and wiped his mouth.

The Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Times and Reuters in the UK, the Asahi Shimbun and Yomiuri Shimbun in Japan, the Petite Parisian, La Newse and The Morning Post in France, and Time and the Associated Press in the US. and the Italian Corriere della Sera, the Courier and the National Izvestia, as well as the Greek one..."Dr. Goebbels had an astonishing memory, but His Excellency the Führer was clearly impatient.

"Yes, you don't need to introduce them all, Goebbels, I'm relieved that you're doing things. Speaking of which, what questions did they have in store? The Führer picked up the wine again.

"I've prepared a list here, you can take a look at it first." Goebbels was clever this time, and he beckoned to the secretary, and then commanded in the other's ear.

"Wait a minute, Miller will bring the list soon." The Minister of Propaganda reported to the Führer.

"It's okay, what I have here is time." The waiter brought the fried cod in olive oil, and the Führer put down his glass and picked up his knife and fork again.

"My Führer." Just as the Führer was about to enjoy his meal, Colonel Dogen suddenly walked up to him, and he bent down and whispered beside Xu Jun: "I just found a suspicious figure in the crowd, and I suspect that person is preparing to work against you. ”。

"You mean, that's an assassin?" Xu Jun had a smile on his face, and to outsiders, it seemed that he was talking about something interesting.

"I'm still a little unsure, just a little skeptical, but for the sake of safety, I want you to leave this place immediately." Dougan respectfully suggested.

"No, I can't leave halfway, it's all journalists from world-famous media, and I have to protect the image of the empire." Xu Jun cut open the cod, forked a piece of snow-white fish meat and put it in his mouth.

"You go to Weirle at once and ask him to come up with the best of both worlds." The Reich said with a smile as he chewed on the fish.

PS: Today's update is sent, I hope you can like it.

As for the fan name, I'm ready to adopt that interesting "FF group",

In addition to the fans of the Führer, it can also be interpreted as friends of the Fuehrer , friends of the Führer.

In other words, FF is the same as SS, it smells like a Third Reich institution, and as long as an F is not added to the end, it should not be regarded as a comic.
