"It is a pleasure to see you again, the High Command has sent me to convey to you the order that you have been promoted. My Marshal. The man sitting on the sofa stood up and bowed respectfully to Xu Jun.

"I didn't expect the High Command to send you to deliver this order, and it's so glad to see you. My Chief of Staff, sir. Hahahaha. Xu Jun smiled and returned a military salute to the other party.

"Happy? My Lord Field Marshal. I don't think so, you haven't made me feel like you're in any mood since you walked into this office, and I can tell you're restless. So I didn't say anything so that I didn't bother you from thinking about it, and it seems that you have indeed fallen into a great trouble, and you have only now discovered my existence. The chief of staff of the "Cypress" regiment, Verle, said with a smile.

"Haha, you're really joking, I don't have any trouble seeing you, because I believe you can answer all my doubts for me, it seems that you have also gained a little benefit in this matter, haha, this military uniform is very suitable for you." Xu Jun looked at his chief of staff's gold-silk epaulettes and said.

"Haha, Lord Marshal. I do bring you the news you want to know. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the intel I've brought. But can we sit down and talk, I've been on a plane for four or five hours in a row, and even my waist is almost torn apart. Weirle said with a smile.

"Oh, you see I'm really not paying attention, quick, let's go to the little living room, it's quiet and comfortable." Xu Jun grabbed Weierle's arm and enthusiastically led his chief of staff towards the small living room next to the office.

"General, oh no, Your Excellency Marshal." At this moment, Hans pushed the door open and walked in, still holding Xu Jun's marshal uniform and scepter in his hand, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scene in the room. "Chief of Staff of Weirle? How did you get here. ”

"Haha, Hans, you're here just in time, you go and ask the orderlies to make us a pot of coffee." Xu Jun said to Hans with a smile.

"Yes, my marshal. What about these...... You see where to put it first. Hans raised what he was holding.

"Put it on the sofa first, haha, I'll change it later."

"Yes, Marshal." Hans found that Xu Jun's good mood was back, and although he didn't know why, he was also very happy about it.

"By the way, Hans, come over when you've arranged the work at hand, I have something to tell you." Weirle stopped Hans, who was about to leave, and winked his eyes mysteriously.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Hans was a little surprised to see Werle's general's uniform, but he nodded politely and turned to exit the door.

"Hans is a good soldier, and although he is a little simpler than the rest of us, he is still a very capable subordinate." Xu Jun said with a smile.

"But it's not a bad thing to be simple, that's what a soldier should have, and people like us have long since fallen. Seeing Hans reminds me of my younger self, when I did everything with a simple belief. It's really touching to think about. My Marshal. ”

Weierle and Xu Jun walked into the small living room and sat face-to-face on the overly ornate coffee table. Xu Jun looked at the chief of staff in front of him, full of expectation and joy.

When Werler first walked into Xu Jun's field of vision, the Battle of Dunkelke had not yet begun, in order to help Xu Jun realize his battle plan. General Keitel, chief of staff of the High Command, handed him and a group of other staff officers over to Xu Jun. Because he didn't know much about Weierle's identity, Xu Jun kept a certain distance from him at first. Because Werler had been working under Hitler, Xu Jun couldn't fully trust him. But after a few days of contact, Xu Jun's perception of Weierle completely changed. This is a very serious staff officer, and his professionalism and work ability make Xu Jun feel very satisfied. Although Weierle's tactics and strategies were a little more conservative, they still couldn't hide the excellent organizational and planning skills of this staff officer. Thanks to the efforts of him and those staff officers, any of Xu Jun's ideas and plans can be implemented in the most precise and fast way. It can be said that he played a very big role in the final victory of Xu Jun's battle. He exchanged his outstanding ability for Xu Jun's favor, and when Xu Jun knew his true identity, he gained Xu Jun's true trust, he was a "priest".

When Jack placed the "bishops" he saved in various key government departments, the "bishops" did not sit idly by waiting for their masters to give orders, except for the way to gain control of their own departments. From the moment they had taken power, they had already begun to find more followers for their masters. Of course, this kind of selection is very confidential and strict, and any candidate who is favored by the "bishops" must be tested and investigated by more than ten "bishops" before they can be allowed to develop. In the beginning, those people were only allowed to enter the outer organizations, and they were called "believers." It is only after some of them have shown that they possess sufficient competence and absolute loyalty that they are allowed to enter the organization. These people who are absorbed into the interior are called "clergy."

And Weirle was one of the best "priests". When Xu Jun got a report confirming the identity of Weierle from one of his "bishops", he knew that there was such a thing for a while. But neither Xu Jun nor Werler wanted to lift the veil, and both sides tacitly agreed to it. However, after that, in the eyes of others, the cooperation between Weierle and Xu Jun began to become more and more tacit, and everyone thought that this might be a relationship between the two people who had been together for a long time, and no one doubted the connection between the two people anywhere else.

In the High Command, Werler was responsible for the detailed examination of military plans, so he was in contact with all the senior officers in the High Command and with the commanders of the entire Wehrmacht in all branches of the service. For this he also became Martin. Borman's messenger of communication with the Wehrmacht's generals made him Martin because of the diversity of his sources and the secrecy of the information he came into contact with. One of Borman's henchmen. Now that he's here, he's got the latest developments in the High Command, and he's got Martin with him. Borman's message and intelligence to himself. This is what Xu Jun wants to know most now, relying only on the information sent by those "bishops" can not make him accurately understand the overall situation of the current development, only the news obtained from the core of the high command can make himself get the most detailed understanding of Hitler's countermeasures, so that he can make the next correct decision.

"Whyerle, wasn't the weather good when you came?" Xu Jun asked with a smile.

"yes, it was terrible, those damn currents made my plane jolt like a charging torpedo boat, and I almost threw up." Wehrle replied with a smile.

"That's hard work. What is the situation of the Legion before you left? Xu Jun asked lightly.

"The whole regiment was still basking in the sun in Dunkerke, all the soldiers were on vacation, and when I was called back to the high command, the boys were enthusiastically learning how to fish with large-caliber guns." Speaking of "Cyprus", Werler has a proud smile on his face.

"Huh? That's right. So are they still fighting at war? I won't be lazy. ”

"Of course not, their daily cāo practice is still as hard as it was when you were there. The lieutenant officers have fully entered their roles, and I believe that it will not be long before you will have another good group of commanders, but I am also worried about this, and the upper hand is slowly reaching out to your legion. A faint hint of worry flashed across Wierle's face.

"I was just about to ask you this, why did the Führer promote me to marshal, and is there any conspiracy in this? I've just turned his Poland upside down, and I've killed a large number of his appreciative officials, and he should be very angry, and there must be some reason why he's doing it now. Xu Jun finally got to the point, this is what he doesn't understand the most now, and he hopes that Weierle can give him a definite answer.

At this moment there was a soft knock on the glass door of the small living room, and Hans was heard reporting from outside the door: "Marshal, you want coffee." ”

"Oh, come in, Hans." Xu Jun said loudly.

Hans pushed open the door and walked in with a tray of coffee pots and cups, he placed the tray on the coffee table and poured a cup of coffee for Xu Jun and Weierle, and then stood quietly next to Xu Jun.

"Haha, Hans, it's good to let the orderlies do this kind of thing, how can you do these things yourself." Wehrle said to Hans with a smile.

"It's okay, I think you and the marshal must have something very important to discuss, and it may not be convenient to have orderlies present, so I came by myself. Oh, General, you said you had something to tell me, what is the matter? Hans looked at Willle suspiciously.

"It's nothing important, I didn't expect me to be so lucky to be able to drink the coffee that a general poured me." Wierle smiled and picked up the coffee cup in front of him.

"General!" Xu Jun and Hans let out a cry of surprise at the same time. Xu Jun's face was full of joy, while Hans's face was full of disbelief.

"Yes, Brigadier General Hans. You've been promoted to brigadier general, and your letter of appointment and new uniform are in a suitcase next to the couch in the outer room, and you can see for yourself. I'm sorry I'm hiding it from you until now, I just want to see the look on your face now. Hahahaha. With that, Wehrle sat there with his coffee and laughed.

"This time, the command department has spent a lot of money, and promoted three brigadier generals in a row. This is the attitude of the War Department towards you, and I think you will be able to understand the meaning of it. Weierle turned his head to Xu Jun and said.

"Hans, you go try on your new uniform, and then go around a few laps in front of Müller and make that guy not too complacent." Xu Jun did not answer Weierle's words, he turned his head and smiled at Hans.

"Yes, Marshal." Hans was shrewd enough to perceive what Xu Jun meant, and he knew that the next conversation between Xu Jun and Werler would be a very confidential matter and the commander didn't want to be there, so he quickly nodded and replied with a smile: "Marshal, I really want to try my uniform. Then I'll go out. Then he nodded to Wheeler, turned and walked out of the small drawing-room, and gently closed the door.

"A clever subordinate, my marshal. Don't you trust him yet? Wierle asked softly.

"No, I trust him very much, but I don't want him to get involved in this matter too deeply, it won't do him any good in the future." Xu Jun shook his head and said.

"Oh, it seems like I'm overthinking, and you do have a point. It's a blessing to be a subordinate like you to be a leader who loves your subordinates. ”

"Don't talk about this yet, why did the Command send you this time, don't you think that the contrast between the scale of this promotion and the form taken is too great? I don't expect the Führer to come and confer titles on us personally, but a promotion ceremony like this for a marshal and three brigadier generals should have at least a group of marshals or generals, and don't you think it's too childish to do so now? Xu Jun looked at Weierle with his coffee and asked suspiciously.

"Marshal, you have hit the nail on the head at once, and this is the most crucial point in this matter." Weierle said to Xu Jun solemnly: "If you want to explain these clearly, I really don't know where to start. I guess I'll tell you from the beginning. ”

"Okay, you can say it quickly. Don't miss a single detail. Xu Jun replied eagerly.

"That is, on the morning of the day after you arrived in Warsaw for the Great Purge, when the Führer received a detailed report from the Imperial Security Service on the matter, he was furious, and he immediately summoned a meeting of all the senior officials who were then in the High Command. I didn't attend the meeting because it was classified as top secret, but I did know some of the meetings from the mouths of several generals who were there.

At that time, the Führer was almost mad, he slapped the table and called you a traitor, a conspirator. He demanded that you be arrested and taken to Berlin for interrogation. But his request was met with opposition from all the attendees, who advised him to dismiss the idea. They gave him all the reasons why he could not fight against you, the biggest of which was that every person you executed had conclusive evidence that they were guilty, and that if you were to be arrested for removing the moths from Germany, it would have a huge impact on his reputation and on the reputation of the Nazi Party as a whole, especially since you have an unrivalled reputation in the Wehrmacht, and any action against you would cause very serious damage to the stability and security of the German state.

After all this persuasion, he finally dispelled that idea. But because the generals of the High Command at that time may have said something that was not very satisfactory to him, a very serious situation was created. At that time, General Keitel said to me that he felt a danger in the Führer's eyes, a very great danger. The other generals felt the same way, but it was too late for them to make amends for their mistakes, and they knew then that they had been placed on the side of the enemy by the Führer because of your connections.

So from that moment on, the generals of the High Command decided to stand completely behind you, and the generals knew that they and the army could only be saved if they kept you, and they knew that now only you could fight the Führer. Originally, they were prepared to maintain a neutral and wait-and-see attitude in this matter, but now it seems that it is no longer possible, they simply stand firmly on your side, and they also see that you are ready to make a big deal this time, and these generals feel that following you may be more able to let them use their abilities than following the Führer. With that, Wehrle took a sip of his coffee.

"You're saying that now the army has a complete confrontation with the Führer, this is impossible?" Xu Jun asked suspiciously. "It's just not something I can believe in it."
