Chapter 65: The Ritual (I)

Randolph held on to the windowsill on the top floor of the tower of the Palazzo Venezia, gasping for air. Vertices M. updates the fastest

"You're going to need to get more fitness, Lieutenant Colonel Randolph." With a telescope in his hand, Dogen carefully observed the environment around the altar of the Motherland.

"Got it, Colonel, this... Here's what you're looking for... Coffee. Randolph put the kettle he was holding in his hand and put it in Dogan's hand.

"I'll drink it later, are we on the roof over there?" Dogen pointed to a house at the southern end of the square.

"Where? Oh, that's Barr... Sergeant Valdés... He carried a machine-gun crew. ”

"Wolfe. Valdez? Dougan glanced at Randolph.

"Yes, sir." It was only then that Randolph finally came to his senses.

"You have to pay close attention to your surroundings, the safety of the Führer comes first, you can shoot immediately if you find a suspicious target, you have received authorization from the Führer, remember, absolutely do not hesitate, you are all veterans, you don't need me to remind you of this again." Dogan turned to the four Army officers standing nearby, all wearing mountain infantry edelweiss armbands on their sleeves.

"Understood, Colonel, swear to the safety of the Führer!" The four snipers responded in unison.

"Please come with me, Major Conig." Dougan said to Conig, the leader.

Dogan led the Mountain Soldier Major to the corner of the tower, then pulled out a cigarette case from his pocket.

"I didn't expect to bring you here this time, Conig." Dogen opened the cigarette case and handed it to the other party.

"I didn't expect that, Colonel, I thought that after the last mission was completed, the higher authorities would transfer me back to Berlin." Koenig was nowhere to be seen, and he picked up a cigarette roll from Dogan's cigarette case.

"The sniper school? I've heard the Führer talk about it. Dogan took a cigarette and knocked it on the pack.

"Yes, it is said that preparations are still underway, and the training department has specified that I will be an instructor." Conig pulled a lighter out of his pocket and lit a cigarette for Dogan first.

"Sounds like you care about this position." Dogan raised an eyebrow.

"Now that the war is over, I have nothing to do, and I think the job is a good fit for me, because the school is not far from Berlin and the salary is very high." Koenig said with a smile.

"It's not bad that you think so, Major Conig, and it's a pleasure to be able to talk to you." Dougan nodded at Conig.

"Me too, Colonel Dogen." The two exchanged military salutes, and Dogen turned and walked towards the staircase.

"Oh, by the way, after the work here is done, don't rush to leave, the Führer may want to see you again." Dogan paused, turned his head and said with a smile.

"Understood, Colonel Dogen." Conig heard the meaning of Daogen's words, and hurriedly saluted the colonel again gratefully.

"I'll leave it to you, Major. Let's go, Randolph, and don't forget to bring a coffee maker. Dogan waved his hand and turned to the stairs.

"I've only had a two-minute break," Randolph complained.

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, keep up." Dogan yelled on the stairs.

Xu Jun knows very well that in this world, not everyone likes his existence, and he doesn't know how many people are hiding in the shadows, premeditating to take his life. There is no vice-king in Germany, and once the head of state is killed, the whole country will fall into chaos, and the new European system centered on Germany will collapse, so that certain countries and forces will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

However, the European assassins in these years were relatively simple, and did not have the huge brains of their future descendants, and the assassination at this time was nothing more than the use of pistols and bombs, and they generally chose to act in public, because the media at that time was not as developed as in later generations, and only public assassination could get the required influence.

Xu Jun did not think that Rome was a safe city, although the Italian people were very enthusiastic about themselves, but in the Nine-Day War, after all, many Italian soldiers were killed in the war, leaving behind a large group of family members who were full of hatred for the Germans, and some civilians who died because of the war, and they didn't even know who they died in, and they didn't know who to find to pay off the blood debt, so they all went to the head of the German Führer.

Mussolini was assassinated in the square in front of the Quirinal Palace, not far from here, and Xu Jun did not want to follow in the footsteps of the dictator. The Führer thought that there were enough dictators who had died this year, and that if Mussolini felt lonely, he could go to Hitler to play chess first, and he would not accompany him anyway.

The German Führer rode in a Mercedes-Benz 770K convertible, but it was not his own car, but the gift that Hitler gave to Mussolini.

Because there is currently no plane that can carry the "small tank" of the Führer, the special car of the Führer of the Berlin Chancellery cannot travel with Xu Jun. However, Germany's large military transport aircraft is now in the process of stepping up test flights, and it is estimated that by January or two next year, the Führer will be able to take his famous Mercedes-Benz 770K and wander around the world.

Xu Jun and Badogglio sat together in the back of the car, and in order to prevent the same thing from happening last time, on the pedals on both sides of the front door of the convertible, an officer of the guard flag team stood on each side, holding the window with one hand and the holster on his waist with the other, and his vigilant eyes constantly scanning the cheering crowd on both sides of the street.

The Italian gendarmes and police set up a tight cordon on both sides of the road, with soldiers armed with rifles every three meters to guard them, and the citizens of Rome have experienced this kind of scene over the years, but no one dared to cross this seemingly thin line.

The people of Italy are not stupid, jumping out at this time is purely seeking death, do they think that their son is undisciplined, and they are dissatisfied with the fact that their wife has not remarried?

Italians are naturally bustling, and as soon as there are a large number of people, they will naturally become happy.

The citizens of Rome did not fail to see the German Führer, and when Hitler came to Rome, the scene was much more lively than it is now, and Mussolini specially prepared a grand military parade for him, which was the year when the cause of the national fascist party was like cooking oil and the blackshirts dominated the world.

However, today's scene is not small, from the palace to the altar this short journey of more than 600 meters, at least 20,000 onlookers gathered, the main venue of the national altar is now crowded with people, the number of people is estimated to have exceeded 100,000. It is said that the German head of state would also go to the Vatican to meet the Pope after the ceremony, so the Italian citizens who were waiting to see the German head of state had already lined up along Emanuele II Avenue all the way to the banks of the Twere River.

A stand had been erected in front of the altar, where Mussolini and Hitler watched the military parade together, and it was now full of diplomats and high-ranking government officials who had come to participate in the ceremony, but the two high-spirited leaders sitting in the middle at that time were no longer in the world.

If you really want to be more serious, these two prestigious dictators, whether directly or indirectly, seem to have died in the hands of Xu Jun, and the mourning ceremonies of the two are also presided over by the biggest enemy, but there are more absurd things in history, and Xu Jun does not have the slightest pressure psychologically.

The convertible stopped in front of the altar, and amid the frenzied shouts of the crowd, the biggest man behind the scenes stepped out of the car, waving to the Italians on both sides in a graceful manner, and walking towards the altar of the motherland with steady steps.

"Hey! Reinhart! A neat slogan rang out, and all the Germans present, whether civil and military officials or small soldiers, raised their right arms to salute their Führer.

"Hey! Reinhart! The Italians, who were moved by this scene, also raised their right arms and saluted the fascist salute to the leader's "best friend".

The Fascist rite was originally a military ritual during the Roman Empire, which was used by Mussolini and was regarded as a symbol of the evil system, as well as the swastika borrowed by Hitler, which was originally an ancient totemic symbol of Northern Europe and was regarded as a symbol of Nazi evil after the war. However, the Japanese soldiers waved the flag of the rising sun and slaughtered innocent people on Chinese soil, and this flag, which represented death in the eyes of the Chinese people, was washed clean by some people after the war, and not only could it continue to flutter on the land of Japan, but it could even be printed everywhere as a decorative pattern, which was really a great irony of the anti-fascist alliance in those years.

"Long live Italy!" The German Führer turned and shouted loudly in Italian, while raising his right arm to the surrounding crowd.
