"General! Checkmate! Wake up, we're here. ”

Xu Jun opened his eyes in a daze.

"Oh, it's here, what's here?"

"We've arrived at the Cliff Castle. ”

Xu Jun woke up with a spirit.

"Ahh Is it so soon? ”

Early this morning, Xu Jun got on the special train specially prepared for him in the base camp. At first, Xu Jun was very excited, this train was so beautiful. The new gray livery glittered in the sun, the huge black Imperial Eagle emblem on the carriages, and the bright red Nazi flag all clearly showed off the nobility of the train. The red velvet curtains, dark red embroidered wool carpets, elegant oak tables, and elegant French seats in the carriage also made Xu Jun feel the luxury of power.

When the train left Cologne, Xu Jun asked the attendant to bring him a pot of coffee, and then sat on the window seat leisurely while drinking coffee and enjoyed the beautiful German countryside outside the window.

But less than an hour after the train departed, Xu Jun began to feel tired. After a busy night, the excitement of completing the plan was suddenly defeated by the sleepiness caused by the sleepiness caused by the night's sleeplessness, and even the fragrant coffee could not lift his spirits again. After a few moments, Xu Jun sat on the ornate Louis XIV-style gold-plated chair and fell asleep without grace.

Hans knew that Xu Jun had worked all night last night, so he didn't wake him up.

By the time the train arrived at Münster station, it was already lunchtime. It was then that Hans woke up Xu Jun, who was sleeping soundly. Then drag the deputy Führer, who can't open his eyes, to the station restaurant for dinner. Xu Jun didn't remember what he ate at that time, anyway, it seemed to be meat sausage kimchi or something. I remember that Hans didn't seem to seriously touch his own dishes, he kept paying attention to himself, and I really don't know why he kept staring at himself like this. As a result, after this muddled lunch, our deputy Führer was dragged into a base camp car in a semi-conscious state and drove towards Münster Ivel, the temporary headquarters of the Third Reich High Command, that is, the "Cliff Castle".

As a result, Xu Jun fell asleep in the car again.

Hans looked at the deputy Führer in front of him who was drooling until he was about to cry and laugh, he had never rested well at the front, and when he came back, he had to stay up all night, there was really nothing he could do. He kept staring at Xu Jun in the restaurant, because Xu Jun's state was really worrying at that time, and Hans was afraid that the deputy head of state would drown himself in the sauerkraut broth in front of him in the next second.

The car finally arrived at its destination after an hour of driving. The car stopped directly in the open space in front of the base camp. A soldier of the Führer's elite flag team immediately ran up and opened the car door for them. It was only then that Hans woke Xu Jun up.

Xu Jun slowly climbed out of the car, feeling that his head was still a little groggy. He bent over the clearing, kicked his legs, and loosened his sore muscles. Then rubbed his hands vigorously on his face a few times and woke up. Then he began to look around.

It's not true to say that this is a "cliff castle", but this "cliff" is not very high, and the "castle" is actually a huge permanent fortress position. The Germans had never been imaginative when they came up with code names. It was part of Germany's "Western Wall" and was originally built to serve as a second line of defense for Germany in the event of a breach of the western border. Because of the complete living facilities and the early installation of the infrastructure for the many communications equipment that would need to be equipped in the future, Hitler's military adjutant's office chose this place as the temporary base camp for the Western Front.

Xu Jun turned around and looked down the mountain. Down the hill was originally an old town. But now that the townspeople have been moved, it has become an annex to the base camp. The town's old gravel streets are lined with military vehicles of all kinds. Soldiers and junior officers were busy running around the town. Four 105-mm heavy anti-aircraft guns can be seen pointing straight into the sky in the square in the center of the village, and on their sides the anti-aircraft artillery men have set up several tents with camouflage nets, which appear to be anti-aircraft artillery command posts. On the edge of the square is a three-story house that looks like it has been used as a warehouse. There was a row of trucks parked neatly in front of the house. Dozens of German soldiers were moving trucks into the building. Outside the town, dozens of trucks were heading towards the town on the road in the distance. The whole town is full of hustle and bustle.

At this time, a row of simple bungalows at the foot of the hill on the edge of the town attracted Xu Jun's attention. Xu Jun found that there were high-ranking officers running in and out from time to time, and it seemed to be an important department. Xu Jun hurriedly searched Jack's memory for all the circumstances of the entire base camp. Jack participated in the construction of the entire base camp and knew everything here inside out.

When Xu Jun found the memory of that row of bungalows, he couldn't believe it was true. Stationed in that row of unsightly green painted board houses turned out to be the famous German Army General Headquarters.

It turned out that Hitler, in order to hold the army tightly by his side, for fear that those army staff officers would make their own decisions when he left Berlin, came up with this method and moved the army headquarters from Berlin here. And he claimed that because the responsibility of the army was very important and the situation of the war could change quickly, it was necessary to set up the army headquarters near the headquarters of the high command, and could receive orders directly from the base camp.

As a result, Hitler personally set the location of the army headquarters there, which turned out to be a row of pighouses, I really don't know what Hitler's guy thought. But the members of the Army General Command did not even have a problem with this. One might be because it was the Führer's own station, and they did not dare to object, and because their chief of staff, Halder, thought that if the headquarters was so close to the base camp, he might have the opportunity to influence the operational plans of the Wehrmacht High Command, so the glorious General Headquarters of the German Army was moved into a pigsty, of course, reorganized. Otherwise, you want to make the commander-in-chief of the army, Feng. Marshal Brauchitsch lived in the office, and it would be easier for him to commit suicide directly.

Thinking of this, Xu Jun shook his head, turned around and walked along the gate of the fortress with Hans and the two SS adjutants.

In front of the fort's sturdy steel blast gates, there were already two army officers waiting there. Both were young majors, and Xu Jun found their information in Jack's memory, they were the military adjutants of the Führer's military adjutant's office, Wenk and Ruhl.

Seeing Xu Jun coming over, the two of them hurriedly stood up and saluted. The two sides saluted, and Wen Ke said to Xu Jun with a smile on his face: "Welcome back, Your Excellency, Deputy Führer, all of us are worried about your safety in the days when we lose contact with you." We couldn't be happier to hear that you were safe and that you had led your troops to victory. The Führer, in particular, made an exception for this purpose and celebrated you with a glass of red wine at yesterday's dinner. ”

Ruhl, who was on the side, continued: "The Führer specifically asked us to come to the door to meet you at lunchtime. Ask him to be notified as soon as you arrive. Now the Führer is waiting to see you in his office. Please come with us. Xu Jun walked into the fortress under the leadership of two officers.

Since this is a military facility, no decoration work has been done. Gray reinforced concrete aisles, thick curved bunkers, rough cement walls. Heavy blast-proof steel doors, and a heavily armed Führer Guard soldier standing every ten meters in the aisle, showed everywhere how impregnable the fortifications were. Xu Jun continued to follow the two officers towards the depths of the fortress.

After they passed through the sixth heavily guarded iron gate, they entered the heart of the fortress.

The aisle here began to open up, and after a while, Xu Jun and his party came to a hall. The hall was the size of a basketball court, and there were small offices symmetrically scattered on all sides of the hall.

There are dozens of desks in the hall, and countless German ** people are busy working there.

In the middle of the hall there is also a huge combat sand table, on which are densely inserted small flags representing a unit. More than a dozen German civilian officers wore headphones and stood around the sand table, listening to the tips in the headphones while constantly moving the small flags.

Junior officers and civilians hurriedly walked between the offices and desks with all kinds of documents and materials, and the ringing of telephones and the transmission of orders, the sound of quarrels and reprimands came from all corners in an endless stream, a tense and lively scene.

Xu Jun found that although this place looked chaotic at first glance, judging from the serious looks on the faces of all the staff, the work here was actually proceeding in an orderly manner, just according to its own way of operation.

It is the office area of the command of the Wehrmacht High Command.

Those low-ranking officers and civilians all stopped their actions when they saw Xu Jun walking in, and immediately stood in place to salute. Xu Jun found that everyone looked at him with the same admiration and respect in their eyes as the guards in the aisle.

Xu Jun smiled and greeted them, saying, "Everyone, please continue your work." "Those people are starting to move around again and keep busy. However, a few beautiful female secretaries still turned their heads from time to time to sneak a glance at Xu Jun, and when they found that Xu Jun was also looking at them, they hurriedly rushed into their office with a flushed face.

Hans and Randolph laughed lewdly behind Xu Jun's back. It wasn't until Xu Jun and Daogen glared at them fiercely that they regained their serious demeanor, but they still had a hint of a smile in their eyes when they saw Xu Jun's back again.

Further inside is the most important office and living area for high-level personnel. One of the thickest and heaviest explosion-proof doors Xu Jun had ever seen tightly blocked out the noise outside, and compared with the hustle and bustle outside, it was as quiet as if he had arrived in another world.

There is an extra layer of wooden flooring on the ground than the outside areas, a long beige felt carpet in the middle of the hallway, a layer of lime paint on the rough cement walls, and a dim yellow bulb on the top of the explosion-proof lights, the whole environment is mysterious and quiet against the dim lighting.

The passages here are like a labyrinth in all directions, perhaps the designers originally wanted to do this, so that the enemies who rushed into the fortress would get lost.

Ruhl led Xu Jun to a small, inconspicuous door.

"Your Excellency the Deputy Führer, the Führer is waiting for you inside."
