Chapter 119: The Game
"We can now be sure that there will not be much change in the deployment of Soviet forces on the eastern frontier until next spring." After Yodel finished speaking, he handed the whip back to the staff adjutant.
"Is this the conclusion of the War Bureau?" Xu Jun held the table top of the map table with one hand and looked down at the military map on the table.
"Halder, what is the opinion of the Army General Staff?" The Führer raised his head and looked at the Chief of the General Staff of the Army.
"I agree with General Yodele that there is no need to take any risks now." Halder bowed slightly.
"I see, gentlemen, and I'm glad that you can come to a consensus." Xu Jun threw the red and blue pencils in his hand onto the map.
"That's all for today's meeting, go back and think about the question I just raised, and we'll continue the discussion at the regular meeting in three days' time. Now disbanded, gentlemen..."Xu Jun straightened his back.
"Hey! Reinhardt: "The marshal and the generals raised their arms and saluted.
"Keitel, come with me." Xu Jun glanced at the chief of staff of the Command, then turned around and walked to the main entrance of the conference room.
Finding that the door was opened from the inside, the generals, adjutants and staff officers who were waiting in the corridor hurriedly stood up in place. Finding that it was the Reich Führer who came out, the unprepared officers couldn't help but be startled, and the scene was still for about two or three seconds, and finally a staff officer reacted and hurriedly raised his arm to greet the Führer.
"Hey! Reinhart! ”
"Hey! Reinhart! ”
The slogans are a bit uneven, but they are still sonorous.
"My Führer, where are you going?" Kettel hurriedly followed Xu Jun's footsteps. The Chief of Staff of the High Command did not understand why today the Führer did not take the private passage specially designed for him, but chose the main entrance where ordinary officers entered.
"Come with me, Keitel." Xu Jun didn't look at Keitel, but continued to stride down the corridor.
"Yes, my Führer." Keitel hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"Started again? Well, I understand, no problem, I'll go to him right away, you go and inform the guard flag team, that's all. Wehrle put down the phone and threw the half-organized papers on his desk.
"I'll go out for a while, don't move the papers on the table, and I'll sort them out when I come back." Wehrle said to Kirsten, who was flipping through the files next to the filing cabinet.
"What's going on? Checkmate. ”
The Führer slipped through the front door of the conference room.
"Who is he dragging this time?"
"Marshal Keitel, he's just here today." Weirle waved his hand at Kirsten and closed the door.
"Have fun," Kirsten shook his head with a smile as he looked at the closed door, then lowered his head and continued to look at the papers.
Xu Jun's trip to Greece went smoothly, meeting with the leaders of several Balkan countries one by one, and on the last day a joint meeting was held to finalize the guidelines for the diplomatic relations of the countries in the region, and at the same time signed a secret military pact led by Germany.
To tell the truth, if it had not been the German Führer who made everyone feared in the middle, on another occasion, this group of people would have scuffled nine times out of ten.
Xu Jun didn't have the time to fight with them, whether there was a blood feud or a territorial dispute, all the contradictions had to be conceded in front of his strategic concept, and whoever dared to defy the sun would be regarded as a double provocation to the Third Reich and the Balkan Holy Covenant, Xu Jun didn't mind uniting with other Balkan countries and directly carving up this unsightly commodity.
Given that Germany already had several criminal records, and that Poland and Czechoslovakia were still alive and well, no one in the Balkan scum dared to take the Führer's threat as a joke. Moreover, the Soviets in the east were already preparing to move, having just ceded two Romanian provinces a few months earlier, and the territorial ambitions of the Red Bear were already evident, and once the Soviets began to expand westward, it would be their Balkans that would bear the brunt.
Although the Balkan barbarians have strange ideas, they still understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, and who is still engaged in rebellion in the nest at this time, that is, the lackeys of the Soviets. Faced with the situation that resistance may die, but if they don't resist, they will die, and if they want to survive, they can only unite around the powerful Third Reich.
It didn't take much effort for Xu Jun to get everyone to agree to his strategy, and after signing a series of treaties of cooperation and alliance, the German Führer happily left Greece to complete his visit.
However, instead of returning directly to Germany, he went to Vienna, Austria, where he planned to stay at the Eastern Theater Command for a few days to inspect the deployment of the Eastern Defense Line.
For security and secrecy, the Führer was stationed at the Eastern Theater Command outside Vienna, which was originally a permanent Austrian-built fortress that was as strong as the fortresses of the Maginot Line, and was popular in the late World War I.
The problem is that although the interior of the headquarters is very well equipped, after all, it is a building for purely military purposes, and in two or three days the Führer will be bored. This young man has just been in Italy and Greece and is already out playing wild, especially since it is less than five kilometers from the city of Vienna, which is a few minutes' drive...
Xu Jun has long been fascinated by the famous city of music and art, and has always wanted to find the opportunity to wander the streets of Vienna, admiring the ornate and elegant classical architecture, and reminiscing about the splendor of the Austro-Hungarian era.
However, the Führer's attempt was immediately thwarted by all his cronies, who said that if the Führer wanted to enter Viana, he would have to take the entire flag guard with him, and that the local garrison would have to clear the field early.
Vienna has always been a mixed bag, and even under German control, there are still spies from almost all European countries, and there is certainly no shortage of Soviet intelligence agents in the east.
At the same time, it is not uncommon to see Austrian veterans here who are dissatisfied with the German annexation of Austria, and God knows what crazy things they will do when they find out about the German Führer.
Xu Jun was not stubborn this time, and he didn't know whether it was a whim or a premeditated plan, and he made a bet with his men that if he could sneak out of the base without alerting the guards, then they would have to agree to his proposal to make a private visit to Vienna.
So Xu Jun was in this base, and he and his lieutenants started a game of wits and courage, although each time it ended in failure, but His Excellency seemed to find some fun in it, and began to enjoy this game.
"Ah, you've got it again, Weirle." Xu Jun grabbed the wall and said to Weierle outside the wall.
"I'm curious now as to how you climbed up, my Führer." Wehrler crossed his waist and looked at the Imperial leader on the wall.
"Keitel, the plan failed, hold on to the ladder and I'll go down right away." The Führer lowered his head and whispered to his feet.
"Wait a minute, you're not going to let Marshal Keitel help with the ladder, are you?" Wehrle slapped him on the head.
"Where can such a thing happen, don't talk nonsense, Weierle." For a rare time, the Führer showed an embarrassed expression.
"Well, come down quickly, I just received a telegram from Randolph that he had an interesting thing there."
Weierle took out a telegram from his pocket and waved it at Xu Jun.
