"It's okay if you don't understand it now, I'll explain it to you in detail when the time comes. Let's take a look at these documents first, although they are not directly related to this assassination, but I still want you to read them and give me some advice. ”

Xu Jun picked up the folder from the coffee table and handed it to Feng. Brauchitzy, Feng who had not yet recovered from the shock caused by Xu Jun's words just now. Brauchitsch hurriedly and respectfully took it with both hands.

The folder carries the usual sophistication and magnificence of the Führer's headquarters, with a black frosted cowhide cover and a chrome-plated stainless steel binding strip with a delicate Imperial Eagle emblem printed in silver ink on the cover. Jean Feng. Brauchitsch was surprised to learn that the oak leaf ring that the sturdy Imperial Eagle was grasping was not the famous Nazi swastika, but a symbol he was more familiar with, the Imperial Iron Cross.

"This ......"

Feng. Brauchitsch looked at Xu Jun in surprise. The Reich Führer now sat on the sofa with one hand on his shoulder and the cigar in the other, looking at himself with his famous "angelic smile" on the corner of his mouth.

Feng. Brauchitsch gasped to himself, and he quickly kicked Yodel, who was sitting precariously on the side, with the tip of his boot.

The Chief of Operations of the High Command, who was taking care of himself, was startled, and he turned his face in confusion, only to see His Excellency the Fifty-Nine-Year-Old Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht desperately throwing winks at him, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on Yodel's forehead.

Looking at Yodel looking at himself with a demented look, Feng. Brauchitsch almost ran out of breath and crooked his nose.

Doesn't this guy usually seem quite shrewd? Why can't I even look at it now?

His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief squeezed his eyes at the other party again, and then snorted at the folder in his hand.

Yodel only then understood Feng. Brauchitsch meant, he immediately looked in the direction indicated by the commander-in-chief, and at a glance saw the conspicuous imperial eagle emblem on the cover.

"Huh?"

Yodel couldn't help but exclaim softly, and he quickly turned his head to look at Xu Jun with an incredible look.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? ”

The two of them were already in Xu Jun's view, and he had expected this scene from the time he took out the document, but what he wanted to see more was their expressions after reading the document.

"Ah, nothing, my Führer."

Feng. Brauchitsch felt that since the Führer would let himself see this sign, he would definitely give an explanation to himself, and it would be self-defeating to ask too much, so he hurriedly opened the folder in his hand, removed the binding pin, and then took out the first page of the document and read it carefully.

I've only seen half of it, Feng. Brauchitsch's brow was already twisted, and his breathing began to grow rapid.

"Traitors, a bunch of shameless traitors......"

Feng. Brauchitsch gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, desperately restraining his anger, handing the page to Yodel, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, and then tremblingly picked up the second page and looked at it carefully.

"It's unbelievable, it's total treason, and they have to be punished severely. My Führer! ”

After reading that document, Yodel's reaction was greater than that of Von. Brauchitsch was even stronger, and the Chief of Operations stood up sharply and shouted angrily.

"Sit down, my general. Don't be upset just yet, we'll talk about it when you've read all the papers. ”

Xu Jun still maintained his laid-back expression, he said with a smile.

"Yes, my Führer."

Yodel sat back in his seat and then took Feng. Brauchitsch handed him the second page of the document.

"I'm sorry, my Führer, I just can't stand it."

Feng. Brauchitsch gently put the folder back on the coffee table, and the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Armed Forces had calmed down from his initial excitement.

He only felt a chill in his heart now, what was revealed in the document was really terrible, and the scope of involvement was too wide.

And according to the strong character of His Excellency the Führer, a careless handling of this matter may lead to another night of long knives, and the scale will be even larger.

Feng. Brauchitsch leaned back in his chair with a tired expression, twisted his eyebrows vigorously and said with a wry smile: "I never thought that such a thing existed, my Führer. I used to think that this war we started might be a mistake, but I never thought that we would lose, really, never ......"

Feng. Brauchitsch raised his head and looked at Xu Jun and said slowly, this marshal in the prime of life looked so haggard, as if he had aged dozens of years all of a sudden. "However, after reading these documents, I realized that we were so close to defeat that I could not believe that we could still achieve the final victory after being so shamelessly and utterly betrayed.

But can we continue to win like this? I now feel a fear that I have never felt before, a lot of people here are the German elite, key figures in many fields, and I am in a mess in my head, please tell me what we should do now, my Führer. ”

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. At least for now, we are the winners. The fact that the plot of these traitors did not succeed, that we did not suffer any material damage because of them, and that we were glad enough that we had found evidence of their incriminating crimes before they planned their next plot against Germany, at least it shows that the merciful God is still caring for Germany and for us. ”

Wheeler, who had been silent, said from the side.

"Indeed, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, you need not be so pessimistic. It's not as serious as you think. I have read these documents, and like you, I am outraged by the actions of these people, and concerned about the consequences that dealing with this matter will have on the future development of the Empire.

But now I feel that whatever the consequences, we must address the issue immediately, and no matter how much it may affect the cause of the Empire's revival, it is better than having them shoot us in the back at some critical moment.

Although these people are all elites of the empire, most of them have no real power, otherwise their harm would not be only what it is now, and even the key people are not irreplaceable. I think His Excellency must have had a plan and a decision, and what he needs now is our advice and support, otherwise he would not have to show it to us. Therefore, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief ......"

Yodel was comforted.

Listened to Yodel's analysis, von. Brauchitsch bowed his head and groaned.

"I see, yodel, you're right!"

Feng. Brauchitsch finally found his way through the confusion of his thoughts, and he stood up sharply and nodded respectfully to Xu Jun.

"My Führer, I once swore to you that no matter what happens, I will always stand with you and be loyal to you forever. Like me, the German Army is loyal to you, and we will destroy any enemy for you, whether from abroad or at home. Please give the order. ”

Feng. Brauchitsch seemed to regain his confidence in an instant, and the majesty of the commander of the Imperial Armed Forces had returned to him again, and it was hard to believe that the mighty marshal was the same person as the old fellow who had been crying and looking more than dead half a minute ago.

"Excellent! I have never doubted your loyalty to you and the Army. ”

After speaking, Xu Jun turned his head to look at Weierle beside him, and the old fox now had a sly evil smile on his face.

"However, there are too many people involved in this matter, so we still need to be fully prepared before we do it."

Xu Jun waved his hand and motioned to Feng. Brauchitsch and Yodel sat down.

"All according to your will, my Führer."

Feng. Brauchitsch took a deep breath and said aloud.

"I have sent my adjutant, General Hans, to Berlin to prepare for this matter, and I want to settle it once and for all before we begin the next battle. I'd like to hear from you.

Feng. Marshal Brauchitsch, you are now my most trusted man, and I would like to hear your opinion first. ”

"This ...... I have no opinion on the decision you have made, these people have made a shameless betrayal of Germany, then there must be a price. But ......"

Feng. Brauchitsch hesitated, then looked at Yodel.

"I think we should be more cautious about this, and I suggest that we arrest the people involved in this document, and then we send someone to investigate and interrogate them carefully, and then punish them according to the severity of their crimes.

In addition, we must verify the authenticity of the evidence listed in this document to prevent misjudgment for some reason.

Because of the wide range of people involved in this document, I see whether some of them can be treated differently if they are only innocently implicated and not actually involved in the conspiracy.

Although I don't know much about matters other than the military, I can see that many of these people are rare talents, and I wonder if we should pardon those who have committed lesser crimes or are only temporarily blinded, and we must not let the empire suffer too much damage. ”

"I think the same thing as His Excellency the Marshal. I advise you whether or not the matter should be left entirely to the Army, and that the Gestapo be able to assist, but that the SS must not be allowed to meddle in the matter. ”

Yodel continued.

"I see, you're afraid this incident will turn into another night of long knives."

Xu Jun asked lightly.

"Yes, my Führer, I am also worried that it will become like that, which is why the front will be gaffe. The Reich was not yet completely victorious, and Germany could not afford another Night of the Knives no matter what. ”

Feng. Brauchitsch replied heavily.

"You really underestimate me, how can I not know what's at stake."

Looking at the two pairs of eyes full of anticipation, Xu Jun showed a bright smile.

"Do you think I sent General Hans to Berlin for a vacation? He's probably working on a pile of information right now. You all know General Hans, and he is in charge of this, so what are you worried about? ”

Then, Xu Jun's expression was straight.

"This purge of these traitors, underground organizations and spies is inevitable.

I agree with you that there will be a distinction between those implicated and those who are principal.

But I felt that it was a waste to ban the SS from being involved in the matter.

Now the SS has been reorganized and most of the scum and garbage have been removed.

Himlai has pledged his allegiance to me, he is resolute in carrying out my orders, and Hans is watching over him, so you don't have to worry about him doing anything about it.

Besides, the SS was responsible for most of the internal security, and they also controlled the dark forces of the Reich, and there were some things that they did more easily than the Army.

I know you're a little unhappy with me about the Night of the Long Knives, and I don't have to deny that, and even I regret my role now.

The damage caused to Germany by that purge is not insignificant, and although many people deserve it, some good people have also been murdered with ulterior motives, and I will not hide from this topic.

I also know that many of the people involved this time are the elite of the Empire, but for the sake of our revival, we must eradicate any possible hidden dangers.

The road ahead of us will be full of hardships, and we may face even more powerful enemies, and I don't want to be shot in the back at that time, you all know what I mean. ”

Looking at his subordinates who nodded silently, Xu Jun said proudly.

"And those foreign powers, they want to use these shameless traitors to murder our country, prevent our rise, and let the victory and glory that countless officers and soldiers have bought with their lives go to waste.

They are motivated by the fear of our power, the belief that we can be stopped from being strong in such a despicable way, and even more ridiculously, they even want to benefit from it.

I'll let them know soon what they're going to pay for it.

They will lose their country, their cause, their victory and glory, their interests, and even their lives. ”
