Chapter 167: News

At that time, the Western Front of Europe was in the midst of a delicate sit-down war, and Britain, France, and Germany declared no war. Hundreds of thousands of elites confronted each other across the Maginot Line, and the contradictions between Germany and Britain and France could no longer be settled by diplomatic mediation, and only a few people believed that Hitler's military adventure would succeed, and most believed that Germany would replicate the defeat of the previous war.

This time Britain and France will definitely not give the Germans a chance to rise again, and the Germans will eat the bitter fruit of their own brewing and obediently accept another Versailles agreement. There was almost a consensus at the time that the German navy and the French army would soon make the mad Austrian corporal understand what a true European power was.

The mysterious man who came to visit Kuhnberg was the first to make a similar statement, and he tried his best to exaggerate the risks that Germany would face, that Germany was not strong enough, that the Wehrmacht was not ready to fight Britain, France and their allies head-on, that Hitler would inevitably lose anyway, and that the consequences of the war would be borne by the German people.

The man, who called himself Sir Hank, offered an olive branch to Kuhnberg, hoping that the Count would join them and work together to save Germany's future.

This man was a man of great eloquence, and his views were shared by Kunnberg, who, though he had been wandering for many years, never forgot that he was a German. And the most attractive point of the other party's words was that Sir announced that he would re-establish the Second German Empire and establish a constitutional monarchy in Bavaria.

The Kuhnbergs, the old Bavarian aristocracy, have always been haunted by the overthrow of the kingdom, which he sees as nothing more than a group of shameless politicians who use this as a way to shirk their responsibility for the war.

So he agreed to join the other organization, which was called the Knights of the Black Eagle, and the emblem was the eagle emblem of the Prussian royal family. Weirle took a sip of brandy.

"I'm afraid that's not who they really are, Weirle." Xu Jun picked up the pen on the stationery shelf and pulled out a blank piece of paper from the briefcase.

"You guessed this wrong, Kuhnberg found out that the other party was really a group of old imperial nobles who wanted to restore the Second Empire, and the leader of the Order was the former Bavarian Dauphin, Ruprecht. Feng. His Highness Byrne. Wehrle put down his glass.

"Ruprecht? Bavarian Dauphin? Isn't he in Italy? I remember we met him when we were in Rome. As soon as the Führer had scribbled two strokes on the paper, he was immediately shocked by the news from Werler. Not because the problem is too serious, but because the problem is so ridiculous.

"I believe that His Royal Highness the Prince is just a false name, maybe he doesn't even know that there is such a Black Eagle Knights." Wehrle offered his opinion.

Ruprecht. Feng. Byrne (also translated as von. Bavaria's) full name is Ruprecht. Maria. Lyutpod. Ferdinand. Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Duke of Bavaria. Franconia and Swabia. The Count of the Rhine Palace can be said to be a natural nobleman, the eldest son of Ludwig III, the last king of Bavaria.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a skilled carpenter and a good commander, and at the outbreak of World War I, he led the German Sixth Army in the Lorraine area, stubbornly resisting the French offensive, jamming the left flank of the revolving door, and successfully cutting off the last chance of success of Schlieffen's plan.

Of course, this is not to blame the field marshal at all, he is just obeying the orders of the general staff, this prince can only be regarded as decent in the war, but compared with the Prussian royal family's group of cheats, the performance of the Prince of Bavaria is really dazzling, and the army is recognized as the most reliable general in a group of royal commanders.

The prince's first wife, Mary. Gabriel, who died of kidney failure before the outbreak of World War I, was born into the Duke's family of Bavaria, and her aunt was Princess Sissi, the famous queen of Austria. After the war, Ruprecht lost his throne but regained his love by marrying his cousin, Princess Antwanette of Luxembourg.

The prince was an anti-Nazi, not because of a series of Nazi policies, but simply because Hitler did not agree with his restoration of the Kingdom of Bavaria. He was bent on restoring Bavaria's royal rule, even if it was only a constitutional monarchy, and to this end he even secretly contacted his old enemy, the British government, in the hope of gaining support from outside powers.

He openly declared that Hitler was an arrogant madman and made no secret of his dislike for the former army corporal. Speaking of which, Hitler was able to join the army because of the approval of his father, Ludwig III, otherwise how could an Austrian civilian with a history of refusal to serve be allowed to join the glorious Bavarian Army.

At that time, the enthusiastic Hitler was unwilling to fight for the corrupt Habsburg royal family, but he was willing to die generously for the German nation.

Hitler never hid his contempt and disgust for the former crown prince, because the other party was unwilling to support the beer hall coup, and regarded the Nazi activities as a joke.

After the Nazis came to power, the prince's life was sad, his restoration was resolutely opposed by the Nazi government, Hitler did not allow any royal empire to appear under his rule, even if it was a constitutional monarchy, in order to teach these stubborn old and young a lesson, the Nazi Party began to nationalize the royal family's lands and property, and on the eve of the outbreak of the war on the Western Front in 1939, Hitler suddenly ordered the confiscation of the Bavarian royal palace in Stanenburg, and drove the prince out of the castle where he last held.

Having lost his last possessions, the Bavarian crown prince knew that he could not survive in Germany, and fearing possible retaliation from Hitler, fled to the Apennines with his family, taking refuge with King Emanuele III of Italy.

"The organization may have taken advantage of the prince's name, for everyone knows that Ruprecht never gave up on his idea of restoration." Wehrle explained.

"I think this makes sense, Prince Ruprecht's personality is indeed quite stubborn, but I don't believe that he can manipulate an underground organization behind the scenes, obviously he lacks imagination and talent in this area." Xu Jun nodded, the pen spinning back and forth on his fingertips.

Kuhnberg believed the other man's words, and he began to work for the Black Hawk Knights. "It is true that there are many frustrated old aristocrats in this organization, inextricably linked to the army, and this is unavoidable, and it is impossible for us to monitor the circle of every officer," Weirle reported. ”

"He got the intelligence inside the army?" Xu Jun asked with a frown.

"It's all ordinary information, and they don't have access to the high-level secrets of the High Command. Instead, they consolidated a number of anti-government groups and built a sophisticated underground intelligence network. "The Eye of Odin has long been aware of the existence of this intelligence network, and has cracked several of its sub-groups, but the clues were quickly interrupted, and before today, we could say that we had no clue about the investigation of this organization, and now we finally know what this organization looks like." ”。

"So why is he telling us this, why don't you keep going, this one... Count Kuhnberg. Xu Jun asked with a frown.

He did not expect that Germany would win the war, and he was extremely excited about the changes in Germany, and he had no reason to overthrow such a country, after all, he was still a patriot, and he wanted to see the country become strong and prosperous. In addition, he realized that the top of the Black Eagle Knights had lost their minds, they were cooperating with Soviet intelligence, and if he continued to work for the Order, he would become a traitor completely, and he believed that these hostile and sabotage actions would lead to failure, and he did not want the Kuhnberg family's honor to be ruined. Wehrle picked up the crystal bottle and added a little more to his cup.

"Soviet intelligence?" Xu Jun stopped turning the pen.

"As far as I can deduce, it should be the General Staff of the Red Army." Willle reports.

"Is the Eye of Odin completely unaware?"

"I'm sorry, it was our dereliction of duty, we didn't expect them to come back so quickly." Wehrle bowed his head and confessed.

"What does Kuhnberg want from us?" Xu Jun put the pen on the paper.

"He wants to get our asylum and bring his wife and daughter back to Germany safely." Wehrle replied.

"What happened to his wife and daughter?" The Führer was somewhat surprised.

"It's safe now, but when the Illuminati find out about Kuhnberg's apostasy, they'll be in a dangerous situation." Wehrle explains.

"Then I'll leave it to you, it's not a very difficult thing to do." Xu Jun shook his hand carelessly.

"Yes, my Führer." Weirle bowed his head and took orders.

"Wait a minute, when the meeting comes, don't bring up the Kuhnberg thing." Xu Jun stood up.

"Aren't you ready to let Schellenberg and Müller meddle in this matter? My Führer. Weirle quickly stood up as well.

"I've changed my mind, there's no need for the General Security Bureau to know this, and I'll leave this matter to the Eye of Odin. Sjörlenberg and Müller could follow up on the investigation of the Illuminati, and the black... The Black Hawk Knights will be handled by Kirsten, and I will see the results as soon as possible. The Reich führer rubbed his cheeks and put on a majestic and solemn look.

"Now let us go and meet the Earl of Kuhnberg, I have some questions I would like to ask him personally." The Führer placed the remaining half of the cigar on the ashtray.

"Then you'll have to look for another chance, Kuhnberg is now out of the Führer's House." Wierle replied respectfully, "In order to prevent his identity from being revealed sooner, he must return to their hiding place before midnight." ”

"Cindy Rila?" Xu Jun looked at his chief of staff.

"My Führer, he is already under our surveillance." Wehrle replied.

"It's your job anyway, I just need to see the results." The Reich Führer brushed his sideburns and picked up his military hat from the map table.

"Let's go to the conference room, they should already be waiting there in Schellenberg." Xu Jun said.

At this moment, the main door of the office was pushed open, and Colonel Dogen walked in with a serious face.

"You're just in time, Dogen, and you'll be attending the meeting in a moment." Xu Jun picked up the marshal's staff.

"I'm sorry, my Führer, there is a message that must be communicated to you immediately." Daogen bowed slightly and greeted Xu Jun.

Realizing that Daogen's expression was a little wrong, Xu Jun slowly put down the marshal's staff, and he lowered his face and asked, "What happened?" Doggett. ”。

"My Führer, just now the High Command received a telegram from the command of the Afrika Army that the plane on which Lieutenant Colonel Randolph was traveling was missing at the front line." Dogan gritted his teeth and replied in a trembling voice.

"When did that happen?" Xu Jun's face also changed.

Randolph sometimes got into trouble and made a few jokes, but it was true, as everyone knows, that the SS lieutenant colonel was a hardcore confidant of the Reich Führer, and he knew no less about state secrets than Dougan.

"It's noon today." Dougan replied.

"Why is it only being reported now?" The Führer asked sharply.

"The command explained that the Afrika Army Command sent reconnaissance planes and search teams, and they originally wanted to report to their superiors after getting conclusive information." Dougan replied: "But the reconnaissance plane and the search team that were sent later also disappeared together." ”。

"It's unbelievable and unheard of! The Afrika Korps was immediately ordered to search with all its might, and at all costs, Lieutenant Colonel Randolph must be found. Xu Jun said as he slammed the map table hard.

"Yes, my Führer! Also, I have one more request here that I hope you will be able to agree to. Dogan puffed up his chest and said loudly.

"Say it, Colonel." Xu Jun already had a premonition that the other party wanted to say something.

"I beg your permission to participate in the search for Randolph." Dougan said loudly.

"Dogen, don't be impulsive, even if you rush over now, it won't help." Wehrle reminded from the side.

"Randolph is my subordinate, and it's my duty to find him and bring him home." Dogen's attitude had never been so resolute, and Xu Jun could vaguely see a flickering light from the corner of the colonel's eye.

"I agree, Dogen." Xu Jun turned around and strode over to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote on the blank paper.

"You leave now, take my plane, and you will be in Cairo tomorrow at noon. I give you this warrant that you may mobilize all the resources you deem necessary, whether it be equipment or personnel, which is authorized by the Reich Führer. Xu Jun signed the warrant with his name and a monogram, and stamped it with the eagle emblem and seal at the bottom.

"You take this warrant to Tysenhofen and ask him to help you arrange a plane, do you need anything? Captain. Xu Jun used the blotting pad to absorb the excess ink, and then walked in front of Dogen with the order.

"Enough, my Führer!" Dogen excitedly accepted the order, which was not just an order, it meant love and unconditional trust for his subordinates.

"Colonel Dogen, bring me back this fellow Randolph." Xu Jun patted Daogen on the shoulder.

"Yes! My Führer, I will definitely bring Randolph back. Hi! Reinhart! Dogan hit the heel of his boot and solemnly raised his arm to salute Xu Jun.
