"Karga Ka...... Boom......" A shrill engine start sound woke Xu Jun from his deep sleep. He fumbled and unscrewed the lamp on the bedside table, picked up the watch that was set aside and looked at it.

"It's only six o......'clock in the morning," Xu Jun poured back into his soft and comfortable goose down pillow, he really wanted to sleep a little longer, he was too tired.

Two full days have passed since Hitler's death, but he still has not been able to get out of it. He couldn't forget those eyes full of anger and despair. Now, as soon as he closes his eyes, the scene of Hitler's deathbed will appear in front of his eyes, the bloody wound and the blood-stained flag, the desperate roar and the bloody hand clutching his neckline, the scene will haunt him like a ghost, lingering.

The shock brought by Hitler's death to Xu Jun was too great, Xu Jun thought that he had been fully mentally prepared for that scene, but when it really happened in front of him, he realized that his so-called psychological preparation was of no use at all. At the moment when Hitler lost his breath, Xu Jun felt a flustery that he had never felt before, and his heart was beating so fast that it felt as if it was about to jump out of his mouth. Watching this famous historical figure die in front of him, he knew that he had truly changed history at that moment, and he could not turn back. He had thought more than once about how to change this history, and when the burden of history was really on his shoulders, he didn't know how to bear this responsibility, and at that moment Xu Jun felt an invisible pressure that made him breathless.

Xu Jun didn't know if he had suffered from a nervous breakdown, and he hadn't slept well since he returned to the headquarters. The slightest disturbance could wake him up from his dream, and not even sleeping pills could relieve it. He knew what it meant to sleep only two or three hours a day, which meant that his body would break down quickly, and his spirit would probably have collapsed long before his body collapsed.

Xu Jun forced himself to fall asleep every day, he told himself that he had to keep sleeping, there were countless jobs to be done, countless problems to be solved, the past things let him pass, and now he was shouldering the future of a country and a nation, maybe more than one country and nation, and the future of the whole of Europe was in his own hands. If you collapse now, then all your previous hard work and efforts will be in vain, and any ambitions and ideals will be in vain.

"Damn, I still can't sleep." Xu Jun opened his eyes depressedly, he stared blankly at the dome embroidered with a gorgeous iris pattern above his head and cursed the guy who started the car at six o'clock in the morning, and he began to think about whether to make this guy who disturbed his precious sleep pay something.

"Forget it, let's get up." Xu Jun lost confidence in his re-entry into sleep, and he decided that instead of lying here and watching the tent in a daze, it was better to simply get up and work, maybe devoting himself to work could reduce the impact of the scene two days ago on him, at least so that he didn't have to think about so many illusory things.

Xu Jun got up, he stretched hard, and the sore muscles all over his body reminded him that he must find a way to end this state as soon as possible. Sleep well tonight anyway, and perhaps it would be a good idea to order Hans to put a stick on his head.

Putting on military pants and leather boots, Xu Jun dragged his feet into the bathroom, the feeling of cold water splashing on his face made him a little sober, and then the German ** god left the bedroom with his marshal uniform in his hand and a military hat under his arm, and walked into the outer living room.

"Good morning, Your Excellency." The newly transferred life lieutenant jumped up from the couch like a spring. The young young principal had a childish-looking baby face, and no matter how you look at it, it seems that he may have secretly changed the age on the file, and I really don't know how Hans picked him out of the hundreds of candidates. However, it seems that the military academy gave this young man a very high evaluation in the review book, and Jodel also affirmed this man's ability to work, since the director of the war bureau said so, there is nothing to find fault with.

"Good morning...... That ......" Because he didn't sleep well, Xu Jun suddenly found that he couldn't remember what the name of this subordinate was, and the field marshal scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Eric. Feng. Tysenhofen. Excellency. The young major sensed the troubles of his equally young superior, and he immediately cautioned him.

"Oh, yes, Feng. Major Tysenhowen. Xu Jun smiled embarrassedly.

"Did you sleep well last night? If you want breakfast, I immediately ask them to bring it to me. Tysenhofen asked respectfully.

"Don't talk about sleeping, I haven't slept for two hours until now, what's going on in front of me, who is starting the car early in the morning." Now when it comes to sleeping, Xu Jun is a fire in his belly.

"Oh, Major Lester from the front headquarters has sent an update on the latest information, his car has been buggy, often does not start, but there is nothing wrong with the inspection. Did he wake you up? ”

"Of course I was woken up, I saw the sound of that broken car starting even the dead bodies in the cemetery." Xu Jun replied depressedly, he threw his military uniform and hat on the sofa and sat down. Xu Jun picked up the kettle on the coffee table and poured himself a cup of cold water, he needed to lower his anger now.

"You said you sent an update on the news?" Xu Jun drank the whole cup of cold water before he remembered the words of the adjutant in front.

"Yes, the latest information, he said that you can see it before you can copy it to the other commanders."

"Oh? Where's that information? Xu Jun put down the cup in his hand, it seems that this is a high-level confidential information, otherwise the intelligence officer of the headquarters would not send it to him early in the morning.

"Here, Your Excellency. I'd like to wait until you've had breakfast before handing it to you. Tysenhofen pulled out a large sealed envelope from his folder and handed it to Xu Jun. Xu Jun took the envelope, tore open the seal and pulled out the documents inside, and then read it carefully. After only reading a few lines, Xu Jun's face changed, but when he finished reading all this information, he stretched his frowning brows again and smiled with satisfaction.

"Tysen-millifen." Xu Jun raised his head and looked at his adjutant.

"Yes, sir."

"Please don't decide when to show me the documents in the future, and I'll forgive you this time, because I haven't explained it to you before. However, in the future, when such urgent information arrives, it must be handed over to me as soon as possible, no matter what time and whatever I am doing. Do you understand? In the end, Xu Jun's expression became more and more serious, and his tone began to become stern.

"Understood, Your Excellency. I beg your pardon. I'm so sorry. The young adjutant was so frightened that his voice began to tremble.

"No need to apologize, I said, I don't blame you this time. Just pay attention next time. I don't like a self-righteous subordinate, you have to remember that, and ask General Hans for advice when you have time, and he will tell you what to do. Xu Jun folded the information and put it in the chest pocket of his shirt, then stood up and picked up his uniform.

"Yes, sir, I will work hard and will not let you down." Tysenhofen hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Jun put on his uniform.

"Tell them to get my car ready." Xu Jun said while buckling the wind and discipline button.

"You're going out now, aren't you skipping breakfast?" Tysenhowen had recovered from the panic ahead.

"There's no time, there's something very important to work out right now. Tell them to prepare me some bread with meat, and I'll eat it on the way. Tysenhofen hurriedly walked to the desk and picked up the phone to convey the marshal's order. Xu Jun put on his military hat, picked up his marshal's scepter from the coffee table by the door, and then opened the door and strode out.

"What are you going to do with this, my Führer?" Feng. Marshal Brauchitsch frowned and handed the information back to Xu Jun.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I have not yet officially succeeded to the position of Führer, please do not call me so. Legally, I'm just a deputy head of state. Xu Jun said with a smile.

"It's just a matter of formality, according to the law, after the death of the Führer you will be able to take over all his powers and positions as soon as he dies. So there's nothing wrong with me calling you the Führer. Brauchitsch replied lightly.

"Okay, I don't think we're going to dwell on this issue for now, we still have this problem at hand to solve. My Führer, what do you think we should do about this now? If this matter is not resolved quickly, if this matter is spread, it will not only cause very great damage to our next military action, but will also have a considerable impact on the stability of the domestic situation in Germany, after all, those people control a large part of Germany's wealth, and their influence exists in all fields. Keitel said solemnly.

"I thought it was tricky, but then I thought it was a great opportunity to take it. Krupp. Rhine. Heinker, Fokker ...... I was still struggling with how to get hold of these consortia. For Germany to truly recover, it would have to bring these consortia and corporations under state control, and the history of wars by these arms dealers should have come to an end long ago. Now that they've jumped out on their own, we're taking the opportunity to catch them all. Use the evidence we have to force them to act according to our will. Xu Jun cast a confident look at the two marshals.

"So you've had the idea of holding them in your hands for a long time. I didn't even think about it. The prospect of being able to master the most powerful military-industrial bloc in Germany is really attractive, but what if they refuse to obey your will. Brauchitsch understood Xu Jun's thoughts, and he asked worriedly.

"I really hope that they will refuse to obey my will, so that I can rightfully throw those cowardly and greedy arms dealers into hell. But I fear that they don't have that kind of courage, especially when I already have evidence of their treason. This evidence alone is enough to send them all to the gallows. It is crazy that they dared to collude with such an ambitious guy as Heydrich to murder the Führer. Now I finally understand why Heydrich would do such a stupid thing. I was wondering if it didn't fit his usual personality, but now I finally figured it out.

If the two Führers were to die, the situation in the country would inevitably be chaotic, and the top Nazi Party leaders would be bloodied for the Führer's throne. At that time, the influence of those consortia will be manifested, and whoever can get the support of the consortia will be able to win the final victory. Heydrich must have been seduced by the short-sighted men of the consortium, which, combined with his irrepressible ambition, drove him to make the biggest mistake of his life. And there is a hint of the last struggle in this, he has seen that Hitler's hope of victory is slim, he knows that the first person to clean up after my victory is him, rather than being cleaned up by me at that time, there may be a step to the sky now, of course he will choose so. Xu Jun replied with a smile.

"I understand, but why did those consortia do this, I know that they are all interest animals, what kind of benefits can they get from this?" Brauchitsch asked, confused.

"I think I can answer that question, my commander." Keitel smiled at Brauchitsch.

"They did this for their own inducement, and they found that now they had less and less influence on Hitler, and not only were they no longer able to influence that man's policies, but they were more and more controlled by that man. And the performance of Führer Reinhardt worried them even more, and they feared that the powerful Führer would exercise tighter control over them after gaining power, and their interests would be challenged. In order to preserve their influence on German politics and to protect their interests, these businessmen could do anything. ”

"So it seems." Brauchitsch nodded, this time he finally understood.

"My Führer, what are you going to do with them?" Keitel turned his face to Xu Jun and asked.

"Don't touch them yet, I'm going to let them come to me and ask me for forgiveness." Xu Jun replied with a smile.

"I have ordered the closure of all German borders and the freezing of all bank remittance operations. All family members of these consortia are closely monitored 24 hours a day. Not to mention escaping, they can't even hide a little bit of their possessions now. By the time I capture Heydrich, I think these clever guys will know what fate awaits them. When they lose even the strength to resist, I think they will know what to do to gain my forgiveness. ”

"Are you going to impose military control in Germany?" Keitel asked in surprise.

"For the time being, the news of Hitler's death can only be announced to the German people after we have taken control of all the important departments, and I dare not imagine what would happen if Germany had been left unrun for a whole month, and now it was running entirely by inertia. Moreover, we still have a group of hidden enemies to destroy, and there are still some problems to solve, and in order to be able to complete these tasks as soon as possible, temporary military control is very necessary. ”

"In that case, I will support your decision, but when do you want to announce Hitler's death to the German people?" Brauchitsch asked.

"It depends on when we completely trample France under our feet. I don't think the High Command will let me down in this matter. Xu Jun replied with a smile.

"Do you want to launch a final attack?" Keitel asked excitedly.

"Yes, it's time to give these French the final blow. We now have all the information we need, the troops have been given enough time to recuperate, and we have been fully reloaded. The soldiers are full of battles**, and they are eager to achieve more glorious victories in the next stage of the battle. We need to find a catharsis for them before they blow themselves up, and the frightened French are the best targets for them to vent their energy. Xu Jun replied with a smile.

"My Führer, we have been waiting for this order for a whole month. I am glad to be able to fight under your command. Brauchitsch said aloud that His Excellency the Field Marshal had at last found another opportunity to show his loyalty.

"Our troops are ready for everything. Just waiting for you to issue the order for the general attack. We will win the final victory, and I am proud to be by your side to witness the greatest victory of Germany in 300 years. Keitel was not to be outdone.

"My Führer, when are you going to launch a general attack?" Brauchitsch asked.

"I hope it's now, but it seems unlikely. Although we have drawn up a battle plan, there are still some coordination problems that need to be resolved. Now we must convene the commanders of all the main assault forces for an operational meeting. ”

"I'm going to gather them at once." Keitel replied with a nod.

"The second phase of the French campaign was not as easy as we thought, and we cannot take it lightly. In the end, we gave them a month to recuperate. ”

"That's right, but isn't this an opportunity for us to wipe out their troops. Gone are the problems of the French forces that we feared were too dispersed, and they have helped us to concentrate their forces. As long as we break through their defenses, two or three large-scale intersperses and detours can sweep up half of their forces. Brauchitsch said confidently.

"Okay, now we don't need to discuss these issues anymore, time is limited, now what we need to do is to gather those commanders of the troops for a meeting, and if there are any problems, let's discuss them at the meeting."

Xu Jun stood up and said loudly: "I hope that in half a month I will be able to sign the instrument of surrender of France, and at most one month, I will make the French Third Republic completely disappear from the world." This will be the first step on the road to German revival, when the first European power falls to our knees, and the whole of Europe will tremble in Germanic glory, and I look forward to that moment. ”
