Reinhardt, escorted by the SS, survived the dangerous assassination largely unscathed.

Although seven soldiers of the 0th SS Division died in the presence of poisoned bullets, the killers paid an even greater price.

With the exception of Stauffenberg, who was stunned by the grenade explosion, he was captured, and the other killers, including Coulson, were killed instantly.

This kind of ending is actually a very good one.

Originally, Stauffenberg was going to assassinate them, but the big three of the empire were the central souls of Germany, including Reinhardt, Steve, and Rose.

But when he found it too difficult, Stauffenberg compromised. He and the Resistance chose to settle for the next best thing, prioritizing the assassination of the most important Führer, Reinhardt. After that, take advantage of the chaos of the Führer's assassination and find an opportunity to take out Steve and Rose.

In the end, even Reinhardt was not successfully assassinated by them. Seven loyal SS soldiers who gave their lives for the Führer used their lives to fulfill the oath they had taken when they joined the SS, to give their lives for the Führer, and to protect everything they had sworn to protect.

"It's ...... Klaus von Stauffenberg, right? Reinhardt, who had fortunately escaped the assassination, walked up to the captives surrounded by the guard battalion of the 0th SS Division and suddenly pointed out.

Although Reinhardt can't remember Stauffenberg's appearance, Stauffenberg's features and general image are very easy to identify.

The left eye is blind, the right eye is one-eyed, the right arm is completely severed, and the only left left hand is only three fingers, which is the classic image of the famous Stauffenberg in history.

Coupled with the other party's connection to the assassination of the Führer, Reinhardt recognized his identity almost subconsciously.

It's just that Reinhardt doesn't understand, even if Stauffenberg was injured earlier than in history, then he still has to assassinate the Führer according to history, which is really a bit unreasonable, right?

"I didn't provoke you?!" Reinhardt complained aggrieved in his heart. He didn't start the Soviet-German war, and he shouldn't be blamed for the fight?

As for the British campaign, everyone else has declared war, is there any reason not to fight? Besides, the British campaign was a success, and they were about to take London. This means that there is no problem with my Reinhardt's strategy.

In addition to Reinhardt, there were also SS officers such as Accardo who accompanied him.

"Führer, do you know this disabled assassin?" Accardo was puzzled in surprise.

In his opinion, Reinhardt should not know such a small person in front of him. This assassin is really not worthy of all the famous figures in Accardo's influence.

How did the Führer know the killer?

Hearing Accardo's doubts, Reinhardt didn't pay much attention.

It's not a big deal, he didn't even bother to make up a good reason to come up with a reply: "He used to be a member of the General Staff, and I happened to meet him." Later, I happened to see in a document that he had been transferred to Africa to fight, so I deepened my impression and wrote down this person. ”

After all, it wasn't a major suspicion, and Accardo just asked casually, so Reinhardt's words were basically not suspected.

Of course, it is unlikely that any of the officers and men of the 0th SS Division present would have questioned what the Führer said.

"Then this is General Rommel's subordinate?" Although Accardo did not know Stauffenberg, he knew Rommel, who was Reinhardt's confidant, and knew that Rommel was the supreme commander who commanded the German army in Africa.

"It should be." Reinhardt nodded.

Hearing this, a bad thought suddenly flashed through Accardo's mind, and then he looked at Reinhardt with some apprehension.

After some struggle, Accardo still asked Reinhardt tentatively: "My Führer, although I shouldn't say this, but will this matter have anything to do with General Rommel?" If this killer was really a subordinate of General Rommel, then the assassination ......"

"The assassination should have nothing to do with Rommel." Reinhardt waved his hand very reassuringly, interrupting Accardo's suspicions, "I believe in General Rommel, and he has no reason to be against me. ”

Indeed, the situation now is very different from the historical year of 1945. Germany did not fall into a desperate situation, and for the time being, it was still able to cope with the two-front operation. At this moment, Rommel had absolutely no motive to betray Reinhardt.

From Rommel's point of view, what he hopes most now is to be one of the three famous generals under his Reinhardt, first defeat the British army in Africa, and then strive for the title of African conqueror and become the field marshal of the Reich!

If it weren't for Reinhardt, with Rommel's background, he might not have been recognized by those who professed orthodoxy of traditional Prussian military families and factions that graduated from traditional military schools.

After all, in the eyes of those factions, Rommel, a grassroots faction who worked all the way up from the grassroots level and did not go through the military academy system, was not worthy of commanding more than one division of troops at all, let alone winning the glory of marshal.

Yes, Rommel relied on the experience he gained from frequent front-line operations, tempered flexible and mobile tactical command, and was good at finding breakthroughs, conducting mobile warfare, long-distance running, surprise attacks, and striking at the enemy's vital parts. However, if he wants to further command large-scale corps operations, he needs not only to cultivate strategic awareness, but also to need the support of a person with sufficient weight.

In Germany, this person could only and could only be Führer Reinhardt Heydrich.

It can be said that without the Führer, the peak of Rommel's military career would have been a division commander at best.

Reinhardt gave him 1 German corps, plus 2 corps for Allied command. It was the size of an army group and the largest corps Rommel had ever commanded.

Even if Reinhardt's affection for Rommel and his promotion were completely discarded, Rommel would not have been able to join the assassination of Reinhardt right now simply because of Rommel's enthusiasm for military command and his fanatical pursuit of the title of African conqueror.

Even, if Rommel has relevant news, he will not even choose neutrality, but will report directly to the country to protect the Führer's safety as soon as possible.

Then, behind this assassination, the people or groups that may be related to it are already very limited.

"Ross can arrange for the secret police to start a thorough investigation of this matter, and the relevant implicators will be arrested directly after confirmation. Also, take Stauffenberg back and lock him up, and I'll interrogate him myself in a few days. Reinhardt decided that this time he must put all the members of the rebel group who were found out into the labor camp.
