"Very good, your report is very detailed and I am very satisfied. I will read this report of the command of the Navy again. If there's anything unclear I'll summon you again, and now you can go down and rest, Major Sorens. ”

Xu Jun raised his head and smiled and said to the Navy Lieutenant who was standing in front of him.

"Yes, my Führer, at your call at any time."

Major Sorens nodded to Xu Jun in a chic manner, then turned around neatly and walked to the door with a standard military step, opened the door, turned around at the door, stood upright, and respectfully nodded to Xu Jun and Weierle who was sitting on the sofa holding a teacup in a daze, and bowed out of the door.

"Hehe, Navy, ......"

Seeing Major Sorens's overly standardized military etiquette, Xu Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"What do you think now, my Excellency Chief of Staff...... Well? Willle ...... Weirle? ”

Xu Jun found that his chief of staff had been in that sluggish state since just now.

"Battleships, cruisers, destroyers. How much is left, huh...... Trimester...... No, five months ......"

Wehrle kept muttering.

When Xu Jun called several times in a row, Weierle woke up from his thoughts.

"Oh, my Führer, I'm sorry, I was distracted......"

Weierle put down the teacup in his hand and hurriedly replied respectfully.

"What were you thinking, my chief of staff?"

"I'm sorry, my Führer. I was just thinking about how much this naval victory would cause problems for our future plans. ”

Wehrle sat up straight on the couch.

"The Navy is so nonsense that it should use our precious warships like this. It seems that Marshal Raeder is willing to pay any price for the construction of new ships.

But if he does so, it will cause us a lot of trouble for our future plans. I now regret that I didn't set a standard for them in the outline of the plan, no, we should tell the Navy that we must not allow any losses now.

If it were a month from now, we might be able to afford some losses, but not now. I was too careless to fail to remind you that it was my mistake. ”

"I understand what you mean, Weirle. But you can't be blamed for this, none of us are navy, and we don't know much about naval operations.

Therefore, we can only give the Navy a campaign goal and intention, at most a planning framework, and it is better to leave the specific implementation to them themselves.

Rigid rules will only tie their hands and feet, and may have even more serious consequences. If a layman like us intervenes in the Navy's operations, I think the result will be worse than it is now.

Moreover, we have no evidence to accuse the Navy of any strategic and tactical mistakes in this campaign, but I think that the Navy's plan is more in line with the actual situation than our plan and is better than I imagined.

Though...... This loss is indeed a problem...... But no one can guarantee victory in the battle without suffering any losses, which is not logical. ”

Xu Jun lowered his head and flipped the Navy report on his desk to the last few pages.

"We have no reason to accuse the Navy of not having a big-picture vision at all.

It is normal that the Navy does not yet have a comprehensive understanding of the overall strategy being revised by the High Command, and the latest battle plan is still being formulated, and I have not explained these issues to the Admiralty in detail until now, nor have I communicated with Raeder personally, so it should be considered my mistake.

It seems that it is because of insufficient communication. It's a lesson, a lesson that we have to learn, and you think I should bring all the heads of the three service commands together for a meeting to discuss this? ”

Xu Jun stood up, took the paperwork, and began pacing back and forth in the narrow hallway in the middle of the office.

"Of course, my Führer, I feel that your decision is very correct."

Weirle respectfully stood up and replied.

"Oh, sit down, Weirle. Hehe, my waist is a little sore, maybe the chair is too soft, so I get up and move. ”

Xu Jun waved his hand at Weierle and motioned for the respectful chief of staff to sit back on the sofa, and then handed the last pages of the Navy report to Weierle.

"Look, hehe, the Navy photos are good, especially the one on the bow of the Prinz Eugen, I like it the most. Crashing into that would drive her back, Feng. Captain Hertz is indeed highly skilled. ”

Xu Jun said with a smile.

"My God, it's worse than I thought, is that still the bow of the ship? It looks like something has been chewed up and spit out. It seems that the time I estimated was still short, and the ship will not be able to return to the surface in three months.

To make matters worse, the Scharnhorst was blown up and the bridge was damaged, and the Gnexenau was damaged by a large rangefinder.

Replacing the equipment, coupled with the messy patching, will take at least a month and a half to restore them to full combat effectiveness.

Coupled with the fact that the Lützov was still lying on the slipway and refused to go into the water, our fleet had only two capital ships left for battle in a month.

I really don't know if I should celebrate the success of this operation, but it seems that the plan set by the command and you will not change now......"

Werler looked gloomily at the dozen photographs tucked between the pages of papers.

But they succeeded in their task, and did not leave a single shilling to the British. The only trouble was that the Sheffield, which was almost broken by the Prinz Eugen, spent a lot of time on the fleet salvaging the supplies on it, and was almost blocked in that sea area by the fleet sent by the British to rescue.

If that really happens, I'm afraid this fleet operation will end in tragedy. ”

"Yes, the report says it's only four hours away, and it seems that Lady Luck is still on our side. I would love to see for myself how the British rescue fleet would look at the slowly sinking British warships. ”

A smile finally appeared on Wheeler's face.

"I'm just as you think, Wheeler."

Xu Jun walked to the sofa and sat down beside Weierle.

"And I also want to see the expressions on the faces of Keitel's group of headquarters staffs, and now they are going to revise their plans again."

"It's going to be exciting, you'll see him soon."

Weirle put down the papers and photos in his hand, and picked up the teapot on the coffee table next to him to refill himself with a cup of tea.

Then His Excellency the wise chief of staff began to raise his head and look around, looking for Xu Jun's teacup.

"Thank you......"

Xu Jun stood up, walked to his desk, picked up his teacup and handed it to Weierle.

"It's a foregone conclusion on the side of the Navy now, and it's useless to say anything here now. And their task is very beautiful, I think the group of accountants from the Imperial Ministry of Economy are now staring at that pile of treasures in a daze.

Five billion pounds, well, five billion marks, and with this wealth we will have a much smoother path. ”

Xu Jun took the teacup handed over by Weierle and took a sip of fragrant flower tea easily.

"Now it seems that there is more than that, I read yesterday's newspaper, and the international gold price has risen again.

If the news of the seizure of thousands of tons of British gold is revealed by the British media, I am afraid that the price of gold will soar. ”

Weirle said with a smile.

"Oh, is it? In any case, the money must be spent where the Reich needs it most, and I am going to send a telegram to Borman asking him to inform the various departments to draw up a preliminary budget, which will have to be carefully studied and discussed when we return to Berlin. ”

"You're right, my Führer."

Wehrle nodded in agreement.

"By the way, the reward I promised the Navy should be transferred from the Imperial budget first, I'm afraid that they will be short of funds for repairs now, and there are too many damaged warships this time. As well as the few enemy ships they dragged back, we also need to make a repair plan, and we must make full use of all the resources at hand. ”

"Do as you please, my Führer."

Xu Jun walked back to his desk with a teacup and sat down, he put down the teacup and took out a folded official document from the drawer next to the desk.

It was an order that he had prepared a long time ago, and he had signed his name on it, and Xu Jun handed the official document to Weierle.

"I'll give this to Major Heinrich later, and let him send someone to Berlin to hand it over to Martin. Borman. ”

"Yes, my Führer."

Wehrle respectfully accepted the folded papers.

"Don't you want to know what's written in it? Weirle. ”

Xu Jun asked with a smile.

"If you'd like to let me know, you'd tell me personally."

Wierle replied with a smile.

"Hehe, you can open it and take a look, but no one else will be allowed to see this document until it is handed to Borman."

"Yes, my Führer."

Wehrle sat back on the couch and eagerly opened the folded document and read it carefully.

"Hehe, it turns out that you have already prepared, I thought you forgot about this matter, and I want to find time to remind you."

Wehrle looked up with a smile after reading the document and said.

"How could I have forgotten such an important matter, Your Excellency my Chief of Staff. However, there is a lot at stake in this matter, you know how important it is, and if the contents of this document are leaked, the problem will become very serious. ”

Xu Jun replied solemnly.

"I understand, my Führer. I don't think it's better to send someone to send it off, and let Major Heinrich go and make a trip himself, as your confidential secretary, he knows how to do it in a fool's way. ”

Wehrle also suggested with a serious expression.

"Hmm...... Okay, I thought there might be a place where he was needed, but it doesn't seem like there's anything important right now, so I'll let him go there himself.

However, you have to remind him that this document is very important, so that he should be safe and not be obtrusive on the road. ”

"Of course, my Führer, I will remind him. This document is relevant to the development of our future plans and to the great cause of Germany's reconstruction.

My Führer, I have sincere admiration for you for being able to resolve that thorny issue once and for all. And I am immensely proud to have been able to witness the great revival of Germany and to be a part of it myself. ”

Weierle stood up and nodded respectfully to Xu Jun.

"My Excellency, Chief of Staff, this is only my first step towards the great revival of Germany, and there are many more problems to be solved, and I hope that you will continue to help me, guide me, and remind me. Would you like to? Weirle. ”

Xu Jun stood up and looked into Weierle's eyes and asked solemnly.

"Of course I do, my Führer, it will only be my honor, my Führer."

Weirle replied with a respectful bow.

"That's great, Weirle."

Xu Jun nodded with satisfaction.

"Have you seen the list of people who have requested awards in this operation?"

"Yes, my Führer."

"What do you think?"

Xu Jun sat back in his seat, picked up a pen, and reached out to pull out the award request from the Navy report.

"I think there is basically no problem, since the navy can report this newspaper, it must go through strict selection and review."

"I think so too, so it's settled."

Xu Jun quickly wrote his instructions on the document, and then pressed the electric bell on the table.

A sliding door with a green velvet curtain at the other end of the room was opened, and a beautiful female secretary walked in.

"Oh, Miss Sarah, please reprint this document for your record, and give the original to Lieutenant Commander Schulenburg to send to the General Headquarters of the Navy."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Sara respectfully stepped forward to take the document from Xu Jun's hand, then smiled and nodded before turning around and walking out.

"Hehe, my Führer, Sara is getting prettier."

Weirle whispered with a smile.

"Oh, is it? My Excellency Chief of Staff, she has only been with me for three days. ”

"But I think I've seen her before?" The old fox pondered.

"No, I remember the last time I had a female secretary was at the Dunkerk Battle Headquarters, and now the ladies are back in the Headquarters."

"Oh, the Führer doesn't like to have a female secretary around? The attentiveness and seriousness of female secretaries are difficult for those male secretaries to achieve, think of my subordinate Werther, that frizzy boy, I can write a copy of the document myself when he asks him to find it. ”

"Hey, my Chief of Staff, when did I say I didn't like having a female secretary around me, it's just ...... We've been on the front lines, and it's not convenient to take those ladies with us. ”

Xu Jun replied by scratching his hair.

"That's right, are you still satisfied with her work? My Führer. ”

Wehrle picked up the teapot and refilled himself with another cup of tea.

"Who? Oh, you say Sarah, huh...... It's okay, it's a good girl. ”

"Oh, speaking of competence, my Führer, when we reach Paris you will meet a more competent young lady. She's one of the most talented women I know, a genius to speak. ”

"Oh, who are you talking about?"

Xu Jun was writing comments on another report, and he casually asked when he heard Weierle's compliment.

"This ...... You will know when you arrive at the High Command, my Führer, I will personally introduce her to her, and she is the biggest contributor behind the success of this naval operation. ”

"You're talking about the ...... of the Ministry of Intelligence"

"Hehe, you'll soon find out, my Führer.

By the way, we might be almost to Versailles by now. ”

Wheeler lifted the curtains next to the sofa, and the strong sunlight outside the window shone in, reflecting a dazzling spot of light on the gorgeous silver-green carpet on the floor.

"Hehe, it's really glaring."

Weil pulled back the curtains extortionately, and the originally dark room immediately lit up.

"Versailles? Then we are almost in Paris. Have you ever been to Paris? ”

Xu Jun stood up and left the desk, and slowly walked to the window to look out.

The bushes on both sides of the railway flashed by quickly, and in the distance was the flat and fertile fields of France, and the green meadows were full of flowers of various colors.

"Paris, once or twice, before the war. It's a city that people will never forget, hehe, a city that fulfills all their dreams, my Führer. ”

"Yes, Weirle."

"Yes, my Führer."

"Werle ......"

"What's the matter, my Führer."

"Speaking of a**...... Please inform the food truck, I'm feeling a little hungry. ”

"Yes, my Führer......"
