On October 20, 1940, on Königsplatz in front of the Reichstag in Berlin, Xu Jun led some cabinet members to carry out the groundbreaking ceremony of the renovation of the Reichstag building.

Hitler had no intention of completely restoring the building after it had been burned to the ground in 33, and he wanted to use the building as a monument to show the world the crimes of the "enemies" of the Reich. Although later history proves that the fire was set by Goering, all Germans at the moment believe that it was the work of the Nazi red thugs.

After Xu Jun returned to Berlin, he was quite unpleasant to the scene of the historical fire, because next to the parliament building is the famous Brandenburg Gate, standing at the door you can see the burnt black dome of the parliament building exposed skeleton, which is really too bad for Xu Dafu, who likes to pursue perfection.

The opening of the Reichstag was already on the Führer's agenda, and of course he would not waste this publicity opportunity, Xu Jun was ready to renovate the Reichstag as a symbol of the end of the Hitler era.

It was a fine day in Berlin, with only a few scattered clouds in the sky, and the sun shone on the faces of the congregation, driving away the chill of early autumn. Xu Jun, as always, wore his ornate field marshal's uniform, holding a specially made field marshal's cane for him, standing with his head held high on the rostrum carefully built by the Berlin City Government, and a blood-red flag with a cross eagle emblem was hung high around the venue, gently fluttering in the breeze among the trees of Tyre Park.

His Excellency looked down at the tens of thousands of Berliners who had participated in the rally, men and women, young and old, all of whom were watching him with admiration, and all of them held their breath and stared at the silence of the people in the meeting.

Fingers tapped lightly on the microphone in front of him, Xu Jun turned his head to look back at the people behind him, Borman was full of spring breeze at the moment, Goebbels maintained his usual solemnity and coldness, Ribbentrop was dignified, and Himmler was full of devotion as if he was attending a religious festival.

"Today is a great day that will be recorded in German history..."Xu Jun turned his face and began his speech into the microphone with a solemn expression.

"Everyone knows that the building behind me once condensed the glory and authority of an empire, and the glory of the Second Empire began here, ended here, and then... We had a time of humiliation and suffering, and I'm sure none of you have forgotten those old days.

Today, a new page in history unfolds here, and we are here to witness the renovation of this building that carries the history of the empire again, and when this project is completed, this building will continue to carry the mission entrusted to it by history, and this time it will be a testament to the glory of your generation of Germans, the great revival of the German nation across the ages. The Führer shook his fist excitedly. The crowd boiled over, and under the leadership of the venue leader, raised their right arms and loudly praised the victory.

Xu Jun paused for a moment, then spread his arms and made a pressing gesture, and after a few seconds, the venue became quiet again, and the Imperial Führer was very satisfied with this, showing a smile of relief.

"Citizens of the Third Reich, just yesterday a shipment of goods from England arrived in the port of Hamburg, a shipment of woolen products, which I sent to inspect, all very good textiles. And in the days to come, goods like this from foreign countries will fill our warehouses. You will be able to see French fashion, Belgian watches and jewelry, American daily necessities in Berlin windows, and you can buy goods from any country in the world in Germany, you name it. Xu Jun poked his finger at the table of the podium and said.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! Once again, the hall resounded with fanatical slogans, and as far as the eye could see, a whole field of raised right arms looked like a dense bush.

"This is a victory for the Empire, and a victory for each and every one of you." Xu Jun added into the microphone, the cheers became more enthusiastic, like a rumbling typhoon, and no other sound could be heard in his ears for a while, and there were constantly passers-by passing near Tyre Park, attracted by the sound here, and the crowd began to gather towards the venue from all directions. The police and soldiers of the Führer's Guard, who were in charge of guarding the venue, hurriedly blocked a cordon, so the latecomers gathered outside the line, and gradually formed a huge encirclement around the venue.

The new Führer was a little different from Hitler in that he was not very keen on public speaking, but the Germans were so fond of group activities that it almost became a part of their lives, so Xu Jun gradually began to participate in social activities more often, and tried to give some speeches every time.

So far, it seems to be paying off. It not only shortened the distance between Xu Jun and ordinary citizens again, but also played a great role in promoting his new policy.

In the next half hour, Xu Da Fuhrer showed his oratorical talent with all his might, quoting scriptures and aphorisms in an endless stream, he had also exercised on the battlefield, and he was completely comfortable with the current scene. For a while, the young and handsome head of state made witty remarks, sometimes throwing out a few humorous jokes, which made the audience laugh, and from time to time splashed a few scoops of dog blood, so moved that the women and children present burst into tears, and the hot-blooded men had to be angry.

Goebbels was even more convinced at this time that the Führer was destined to succeed Hitler, and purely from the level of performance, the two were completely incompatible, but if you count the appearance of both sides, Hitler could only cry to death in the bathroom.

"Hey! Reinhart! Hi! Leenhardt! In the midst of the slogan, Xu Jun picked up the water cup placed on the side of the podium and took a sip of water.

This is usually a sign that the speech has come to an end, followed by a few words of praise and thanks, perhaps some new policies and developments, a few delicious-looking flatbreads, and a triumphant victory.

At this moment, Weierle came to the rostrum with a blank piece of paper, he hurriedly ascended to the rostrum, first talked with Borman, who was the host of the ceremony, and then walked to Xu Jun's side with the blank paper, and the lieutenant general respectfully saluted and handed the paper to the Führer's hand.

The Reich Führer looked down at the contents of the paper, and the officers and government officials sitting in the front row of the meeting hall could clearly see that the Führer was frowning tightly.

This kind of thing had never been encountered before, and the people could not help but whisper to each other, could it be that something unexpected had happened, so important that it was necessary to interrupt the Führer's speech.

Xu Jun was silent for more than ten seconds, and then raised his head, his expression became very serious, and his eyes became sharp and firm.

"Citizens of Germany, just now I received a message." Xu Jun's gaze swept over the VIP area in the front row, and the generals and officers in ceremonial uniforms hurriedly straightened their backs. The people also hurriedly stopped talking, and everyone stared at the Führer standing behind the podium, and the square was once again quiet.

"Just an hour earlier, the Italian army had launched a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In this attack, the German Army Expedition, which was on a military exchange there, was brutally attacked by Italian soldiers, and it is now known that two brave German officers left us forever, and three German officers and soldiers were injured in different ways. What is certain is that the German delegation was stationed in the camp with the German flag flying high throughout the attack, and constantly showed their identity to the other side, but they were still ruthlessly attacked by the Italian army. Xu Jun held the podium with one hand and a glass of water with the other, and his slightly trembling arms revealed the excitement in his heart at the moment.

An exclamation erupted in the hall, and the Germans present were stunned by the news, followed by a wave of anger burning from the bottom of their hearts. The stupid Italian pigs, who gave them such guts and dared to provoke the dignity of the Third Reich.

"Citizens, just yesterday I was thinking about how to improve our relations with Italy and ease the tensions that our two countries had previously caused by certain political differences. We have always been friendly allies with the Italians, and this is a foreign policy that was established during the time of the former Führer Hitler, and I intend to continue it. So when they reneged on their previous agreement and attacked France alone, I did not speak. When they terminated cooperation with Germany and tore up a large number of trade orders, I did not express an opinion, I thought that this was only a temporary phenomenon and would definitely be resolved after communication.

And when they crossed the Albanian border two days ago and invaded Greece, which had always maintained friendly relations with Germany, I remained silent about the matter. Since both countries are friends of Germany, we can only remain neutral and not take sides of the other.

King George II of Greece and Prime Minister Metaxas wrote me several letters in quick succession, asking Germany to lend a helping hand to stop the atrocities of Mussolini's army, calling us the defenders of justice in Europe, because we had just announced to the world the establishment of a new European order under German leadership.

In fact, after reading these letters, my face was hot, like a slap in the face. I began to wonder if Germany had indulged our "great ally" too much, and Mussolini had now fully exposed his personal ambitions, not even caring about his previous pact with Germany, and not hesitating to trample on and destroy the peace and stability that had been bought with the blood of countless German soldiers in order to fill his insatiable greedy belly.

Italy's invasion of Greece was a blatant challenge to the new European order, and we should have stopped it at the time, but at the behest of His Excellency Hitler, we could not make a hostile decision against Italy.

Time and time again, we tolerated and even indulged Italy, but in the end we were rewarded with contempt and provocation. We can no longer remain silent this time, we have to shout out and tell those Italians that they have touched the bottom line that must not be violated, that they have offended a country that must not be offended, and that they must pay for what they have done! Xu Jun angrily waved the marshal's cane, as if he was slapping the big Italian chin.

"I have long stated that Yugoslavia was under the protection of the Greater German Reich, and that the Italians had ignored my warnings by attacking the Yugoslav garrison and killing the officers and soldiers of the German Army present. In my capacity as the Head of State of the Greater German Reich, I hereby declare that, as of midnight today, the Great German Reich and the Kingdom of Italy are in a state of war, and that the Foreign Office immediately informs the German Ambassador in Rome that the Third Reich has officially declared war on Italy. Xu Jun slapped the table top of the podium vigorously.

"War! War! War! The officers and civil servants in the front row VIP area all stood and raised their right arms in greeting their Führer.
