"These are the telegrams that have just been received, my Führer." Jumping down the ladder easily, Tysenhofen walked quickly in front of Xu Jun.

"Imperial High Command?" Xu Jun raised his head and looked at the adjutant.

"And Deputy Minister Ribbentrop of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." The adjutant smiled and placed a stack of telenewspapers on the small table in front of the Führer.

"Would you like some coffee? General Weirle. Tysenhofen turned his head and asked the Chief of Staff, who was standing in front of the loading and unloading hatch at the front.

"Not at the moment, thank you, Eric." Werler did not look back, he looked with great interest at the Mediterranean Sea below the square porthole, and at this time a nautical formation of three destroyers was sailing on the sea, and judging by the course of these warships, it should be on its way to some seaport in Greece.

Because it is not an airtight pressure-resistant cockpit, in order to make passengers feel more comfortable, the pilot deliberately kept the altitude of the aircraft at about 1,500 meters, which will inevitably consume more fuel, but this loss is completely bearable for this behemoth.

This is a brand new B222 Viking transport aircraft, the ninth production aircraft of this model, which just entered active service at the end of October. Before coming to Taranto, she had been stationed at the Toulon naval base in France, and traveled between Toulon and Tunisia three times a week, mainly transporting German and French military personnel and some valuable supplies and equipment. Two weeks ago she was transferred to the port of Taranto to fly from Wilhelmshaven to Taranto, mainly by officers and men of all ranks of the German Navy.

The plane is currently part of the Wehrmacht's Mediterranean Theater of Operations, and both the aircraft and flight attendants are Air Force personnel, and in order to mobilize this behemoth, in addition to obtaining approval from the Theater Command, it must also be reported to the Wehrmacht Overseas Transport Office in advance.

The Transport Office is a new unit of the High Command established in early December to manage, plan and coordinate tasks within the Defence Force that involve intercontinental long-range strategic delivery and replenishment. Because Germany now has a series of overseas colonies in disguise, and considering that the military activities of the German army overseas are gradually increasing, the establishment of a special logistics and transportation management department has been put on the agenda of the high command.

The BV222 is Germany's longest-range and most capable transport model, and the army and navy are interested in this aircraft, but the current factory production is limited, and can only meet the air force's orders first.

The Army Command has been working with Bloom. FUCHS has signed an agreement to develop a land-based version of the aircraft on the basis of the BV222. This is a very difficult project, because it requires changes to the structure and shape of the aircraft, but the army is now very wealthy, and it is said that this project has now entered the stage of technical demonstration, and a prototype will be built for test flights in about the middle of next year.

Xu Jun rushed to the port of Taranto, in addition to inspecting the German Navy's takeover of the Italian fleet, in order to transfer to this "Viking" here. The plane was the fastest and safest means of transportation available to take him across the Mediterranean, from Italy to Alexandria, Egypt.

To be honest, with the range of this plane, even if it was a direct flight to Yanbu, he needed to meet with Admiral Wavell in Alexandria to discuss the next step in the joint operation of the two armies, and then talk to the British cabinet envoy waiting in Egypt about the current problems in the Far East.

The plane has been carrying people these days, and the front cargo compartment under the cockpit has been converted into a senior officer's cockpit, which has a large interior space, bulletproof armor on the bulkheads, and an American-made M2 heavy machine gun in each of the machine gun compartments on each side.

This was not the first time that the Germans had purchased American-made equipment, and had previously purchased American-made vehicles and aircraft engines, of course, in secondary versions approved by the Reichstag. Roosevelt was wary of the Nazis, and if he had been re-elected, as he had been in history, His Excellency would never have agreed to an arms deal with Germany.

It's a pity that the current president is George. Dewey, after a bunch of underground deals between the United States and Britain were exposed, Dewey felt that the relationship between Germany and the United States would definitely be affected, at least the domestic public opinion in the United States has always said so, so he regarded the arms trade with Germany as a way to ease relations with the Third Reich, and most members of the U.S. Congress seem to support this view, but in Xu Jun's view, it is more likely that they want to express their attitude in this way, so as to clear up the connection with the former president.

The Germans' orders had reinvigorated the stagnant economy of the United States, and at the same time, the people and capital that had fled from Europe began to return to Europe, and everything seemed to be moving to Europe, and some American capital and companies began to consider moving to Europe because of concerns about the prevalence of isolationism at home, and the market here was seen by some as having great potential to be exploited after the devastation of the war.

The topic is far away, now back to this plane. The Reich Führer woke up very early today, and no one told him that the early morning in this Italian port would be so noisy, and all kinds of whistles and all kinds of horns were shouting, which drove the Reich Führer out of his sweet dreams.

After a hasty breakfast, the group left the German barracks and boarded a large seaplane parked in the port of Taranto in a transport boat specially designed by the commander of the Italian Royal Fleet. Soon after takeoff, the Führer shrunk into a comfortable leather seat, closed his eyes and began to catch up on sleep. I slept for a full hour, and at this moment the plane had flown over the Greek island of Malta and was flying in the center of the Mediterranean.

As the landline of the head of the Empire, this "Viking" was automatically upgraded to "Empire One", and received the highest communication priority, along the way the "Viking" received a steady stream of telegrams from various departments of the Empire, and the telecommunications staff received more messages in just one hour than the total number received in the previous week.

Tysenhofen quickly deciphered the confidential messages, then categorized them according to the department to which they came, and then ranked them according to the importance of the contents. Under the admiring gaze of the telecommunications officer, the army major skillfully carried out the work that should have been done by the entire communications service and the secretariat with an elegant rhythm that bordered on art.

After learning that the Führer had woken up, Tysenhofen immediately sent several telegrams that needed to be prioritized to Xu Jun for approval.

"Weller, Molotov really chose to be patient, I said a long time ago, they were not ready for a showdown with us, especially after Stalin saw the "classified information" that Soviet intelligence officers had obtained from the Kummersdorf weapons test site. Xu Jun put aside the telegram from the vice foreign minister.

"My Führer, this is just our speculation, and there has been no relevant information from the inside lines of Moscow." Weierle walked back to his seat and respectfully reported to Xu Jun.

"Find a way to find out how the reaction within the Soviet army to the "Stuffy Bear Plan", especially the thoughts of Stalin himself. Pay attention to the recent changes in the military industrial system of the Soviet army, whether it is personnel, materials or processing machinery, do not omit any details, these do not need me to send a special order to teach you. The Reich Führer squinted at his chief of staff.

"Of course not, my Führer, I will personally follow the work." Weirle bowed his head respectfully and said.

"That's for the best, Weierle." The Reich Führer nodded in satisfaction and picked up a telegram again.
