Chapter 260: The Assassination of Reinhardt (Part II)

Johann Georg Elsey was a skilled German carpenter. On weekdays, he is silent and secluded, and rarely communicates with the people around him about other things other than his own work.

But in fact, he was a British spy with German nationality who had been bribed by the British.

Looking at Witzleburn, who was hooking up with Reinhardt in the distance, Elsey just laughed secretly.

On weekdays, this Witzler could have expressed his dissatisfaction with Reinhardt, but in the end it was not a gesture. Those so-called objections are probably what he discussed with Reinhardt a long time ago. In order to achieve this effect that looks like ice release from the previous suspicions, to create a thriving scene.

But it doesn't matter, in 2 hours, these fake people will all die!

As early as the previous evening, after the people in the beer hall had dispersed, he had secretly run to drill holes in the pillar behind the podium where Reinhardt was going to give a speech, and planted the bombs that had been prepared long ago.

The wood chips from the borehole had been swept away, and the explosion was scheduled for 10:15 a.m., which was between 10 and 11 a.m. Reinhardt's announced presentation.

Elseiben was a man of great care and great courage. For this assassination operation, he prepared a full 50 kilograms of explosives, 6 timers, and materials such as detonators, wires, and batteries. He is confident that after today, he will definitely leave his name in the history textbooks of future generations!

Elsey, who thought he had clean hands and feet, smiled and chatted with the two German officers beside him with great interest while waiting for the results.

"Where did we talk about it just now?" Lieutenant Colonel Triskao, who provoked this conversation, absentmindedly looked at the El Track.

Urg Scott was unaware of Elsey's assassination plan, but he was aware of Witzlerben's opposition to Reinhardt. He even received an invitation to join the opposition group in Witzleben!

In the end, however, he chose neither to expose nor to join.

Although he often opposed Reinhardt's radical methods, he was still in opposition and did not intend to overthrow Reinhardt and his staff. Even if he wanted to overthrow it, he felt that he should wait for the general trend to go before overthrowing it.

But today's accidental discovery made him feel a little creepy. It seems that most of the officers and generals present at the scene, or the big figures from all walks of life, seem to have seen it at some private gatherings. Those rallies were all discussions against Reinhardt, without exception!

At the same time, these people were invited by the Führer, whom they opposed, and were they really just called here to see the opening ceremony of the exercise?

In order to divert his weakness and prevent himself from thinking wildly, he urged Skao to take his adjutant, Major Schlabrendorf, and casually found a name that seemed more pleasing to the eye and chatted for a while.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I was just telling you that beer in Munich is only delicious with pork knuckle." Elsey, who was found by Urging Skao, was bored anyway, so he simply chatted with Urging Skao to pass the time.

"Oh, yes, yes." Urging Si Kao nodded, glutinously said.

His heart was not as strong and calm as Elsey's, otherwise he would not have failed miserably in the two assassinations of Hitler in 1943.

"Our Munich pork knuckle is served with mashed potatoes with sticky rice. It is indeed very fragrant, and the taste is smooth, delicate and chewy. "And the beer in Munich is the best wine in Germany. Even if he doesn't know how to drink, I'm sure he'll get a taste of Munich beer. ”

Urges Kao is worried, but Elsey is not afraid.

First, he did not know that most of the people present were members of the anti-Reinhardt group (including Lieutenant Colonel Urg Skao, who was only opposing some of Reinhardt's radical military policies at this stage and only formally joined the opposition group a few years later). This is the inside story.

Second, even if he was convinced that Reinhardt had less than an hour left to live. Once he had stood on the podium and started speaking, half an hour later, he and the officers around him would have to die.

Looking at the eloquent Elsey, a skao who was just an ordinary person suddenly envied him. At least, he doesn't have to worry about these things he is worried about, he just needs to enjoy the benefits brought by the Führer to the people with peace of mind, and live an ordinary and ordinary life.

"Lieutenant Colonel, it's time for us to get over." Major Schlabrendorf, who was the adjutant of the Urgeskao, reminded in a low voice: "The Führer is about to begin his speech, and all the officers, generals, and invited celebrities must be present and listen carefully to his speech." ”

"Got it," he said, waving his hand and sneering, "Go ahead, maybe there's something interesting going on later." ”

"Gone." He patted Elsai on the shoulder and smiled at the enthusiastic "ordinary people": "Enjoy the happy life now." ”

Elsey nodded with a smile on his face, but secretly laughed at the other party in his heart. Happy life? When it is confirmed that your Führer is dead, I will receive a large bounty and go to London, England, to live a truly happy life. You idiot, hurry up and enjoy the interesting things I've got in store for you.

At 9:50 a.m., 10 minutes before Reinhardt's scheduled speaking time began.

The invited officers and generals have already arrived, and the guard work on the periphery of the field has also been checked by the 4th SS Division brought by Ross.

It's just the scope of this SS gatekeeping....... It seems to be a little bigger.

The SS surrounded a total of three circles, the largest of which was the third cordon, and even the onlookers were surrounded in the third circle, sandwiched outside the second circle.

Before everyone could tell that there was anything wrong with this vigilance range, Reinhardt's voice came from the Munich tavern in the center.

On the periphery, the voice that Elsey heard came from a makeshift SS stereo.

And in the tavern, a group of generals saw the head of state who seemed to be very reluctant to stand on the podium.

"We're all here, so we're not waiting. So....... I started speaking early. ”

"I value this exercise. Everyone should take it seriously and do their best. ”

"At the same time, everyone knows that this exercise, about the distribution of weapons in the future. In other words, about future combat mode improvements! ”

"I understand that some people see me as a manifestation of my belligerent spirit, and for this reason, they even call me a radical, an arms dealer, and even privately oppose me."

"But I don't care! I'll also order hundreds or thousands of weapons to be made! Reinhardt's eyes were blazing, and he continued affectionately: "Since they can free us from the surveillance of the League of Nations, since they can make us rob us of the dignity that we lost 20 years ago." Then they are righteous, our God permits! ”

"My dear commanders, think back to 20 years ago! When the children of Germany question us with helpless eyes, when we see millions of suffering and humiliated compatriots, who have fallen into horrific misfortune through no fault, what can we do to save them, to save ourselves? By reasoning, or by the weapons in your hands! ”

"You stand in my place and think about it, if you are me, what should I do, what can I do?!" Reinhardt looked around the generals with a burning gaze, and then shouted solemnly, "Now! Stand up and stand where I am standing. I'm in your place. ”

Glancing at his watch, "9:59", Reinhardt smiled slyly: "Just choose a few people in the front row to be representatives." Come, come, you guys line me up and tell me what you think! ”

Sitting in the first row was none other than Witzleben and his party.

PS: The famous Führer assassin Stauffenberg was not added to this for two reasons.

First, because at this stage he did not have the idea of opposing the Führer at all, he was anti-minded after the war situation continued to deteriorate. If it hadn't developed as it did in history, he could have become a valiant warrior at all.

The second is ...... This book has more than 250 chapters written but less than 200 are evenly booked, perhaps it is time to prepare for one person to kill the protagonist.
