Chapter 101: Minister of Propaganda

At 4:15 p.m. D, Friedrich Air Base, temporary quartering of the German High Command.

Due to the incredible ant attributes of the new German Führer, the German High Command could only follow this commander to crawl around the world, his whereabouts were strange and erratic, and a group of spy agents who tried to find out the movements of the German command structure were forced to death.

The High Command now advocates humane management, but as the campaign unfolds, the work pressure rises like a tidal wave, and the management personnel have completely lost their humanity in front of the piles of official documents and telegrams. The only thing that can still maintain a quiet and elegant demeanor in the headquarters at the moment is the great Führer.

"It's a pleasure to see you here, my dear friend." Xu Jun sat on his new sofa, his fingers gently caressing the green velvet wrapped in the armrest, and looked at the man in front of him with a leisurely expression.

The man's originally thin face is now even thinner, his cheekbones are becoming more and more high and convex, the nasolabial folds on the side of the nose are deeply absorbed into the face, and the line of the chin has become much softer, the only thing that has not changed is the eyes hidden in the deep sunken eye sockets, which are still blazing, Xu Jun can see that there is still a passionate flame burning in it, as well as undisguised fanaticism and worship.

The last person to enjoy such a look had already made him great, and is now enshrined in a statue at Valhalla in Berlin. Xu Jun defeated Adolf Hitler, but let that man escape the tragic defeat and the punishment of history, and became a great man of history in the true sense. The heavy responsibility that had been borne on that person was now pressed on Xu Jun's shoulders, every time he thought of this. Xu Jun could only sigh at the wonder of fate, and he really didn't know how to evaluate it.

"It is also a great honour for me to be summoned by you, my Führer." Minister of National Education and Propaganda of the Third Reich. Paul. Joseph. Goebbels respectfully bowed to Xu Jun. The Nazi Party mouthpiece wore the crisp tawny Nazi civilian uniform as always, but the gold Nazi insignia that he had been wearing on his chest was replaced by an Iron Cross, and he no longer wore a bright red Nazi armband on his arm.

"Sit down, Doctor, and tell me about Berlin, for Bormann has been complaining that I have added too much work to him. He was a little overwhelmed. Xu Jun made an inviting gesture to Goebbels, who hurriedly thanked him again and carefully sat on the sofa opposite.

"Martin. Borman won't be overwhelmed. He's completely enjoying it now, and to be honest, you've given him a bit too much power, and now there are already some rumors in the country about your conflict with Hitler. I suspect that there is something behind it. Himmler has already begun an investigation into this. However, it seems to have encountered a lot of resistance. Goebbels respectfully reported to Xu Jun, and at the same time mercilessly put on Borman's small shoes.

When the news of Hitler's death reached China, there were only two people in the Nazi hierarchy who really grieved for him, one was Goebbels and the other was Schirach, the latter was different from the former, Goebbels was genuinely saddened by the loss of a great standard-bearer and leader, and the latter was bitter about the loss of his idol.

Just as the rest of the Nazi leaders began to go around in an ambitious attempt to get a piece of the pie from Hitler's legacy. These two people are honestly undertaking the funeral for Hitler and organizing the masses to wake the spirit. Because of this, Xu Jun let these two people go in the cold-blooded purge afterwards. Because loyalty is a virtue, Xu Jun is sure that he can gain the loyalty of these two people.

More importantly, these two people have extraordinary influence among the German people, and they can play a very huge role in Xu Jun's takeover of Germany.

In fact, it is true that Xu Jun's miraculous performance at the front line made the whole of Germany excited, and the aura of the god of war and apostle on his head made him easily take over the power of Hitler, and everyone was glad and relieved that Germany was able to gain a seemingly greater leader again after the loss of a great man. The German people began to believe that God favored Germany, because he had given Germany two great leaders at once, and the ultimate goal of achieving great national rejuvenation no longer seemed to be a problem, and as long as there was that noble and great young leader to guide it, Germany would surely stand on top of the world.

Goebbels skillfully manipulated the mouthpiece of the government, used all his propaganda tools, and in a very short time established this belief among the German people. In the beginning, his starting point was very simple, he could not watch Germany descend into chaos, he did not allow his work of great enthusiasm and energy to come to an end, he wanted to perpetuate the myth of Hitler and accomplish the great goal that the man had shown him.

In Goebbels' eyes, the only one who has the ability and strength to do all this is the apostle of God. He didn't want to study Reinhardt. Feng. What role did Stadler play in Hitler's death? No matter how many doubts the Führer had in his actions and behavior before and after this incident, Goebbels thought it was irrelevant, because it would not help to resolve the German crisis and would lead to more unnecessary internal friction.

He had to convince Reinhardt. Feng. Städler was God's savior for Germany, a man with a great historical mission, that is, to carry on Hitler's cause and bring Germany to unprecedented glory.

But as the news of the glorious victories on the French front reached China, and when the German army walked proudly on the Champs-Élysées, Goebbels himself first believed this legend that he had invented.

Goebbels devoted even greater enthusiasm to the creation of the Führer myth, and in his propaganda reinhardt was like the great heroes of Germanic history, such as Frederick I or Wilhelm the Great, under whom the best of Germany's best times were approaching. The Germans must unreservedly offer all their loyalty and strength to their new Führer, and they will surely receive a permanent reward from this apostle. The Führer's orders were the law, the creed, the oracle, and anyone who doubted it was an enemy of Germany.

When Xu Jun obtained these reports from the Eye of Odin. As the protagonist of the propaganda, they all felt blushing and numb at those words, and Goebbels became more and more like a cult leader.

"Borman's loyalty can be trusted. My dear doctor. I have summoned you here to ask you about the next step in the direction of public opinion in Germany. With the successive victories of the German Wehrmacht, our propaganda and public opinion can no longer be confined to our own country, we must take decisive action to lead the direction of public opinion in the whole of Europe, so that the European people can truly hear the voice of the German people, let them truly understand Germany and Germany's great cause, and break down the barriers between nation-states. Bringing each other's thoughts and emotions closer.

The previous rhetoric of hatred in Europe must be corrected immediately, and we must point all the fingers at the UK. We must peel back the mask of hypocrisy on a historical level for the British, who have been churning up the history of Europe. They are the source of all instability, and the British royal family and parliament have been using vile means to provoke national contradictions between European countries, they have bought spies and traitors, and bribed corrupt politicians. Deliberately creating a conflict between the great powers of Europe. In order to extract political and economic benefits from the chaos, and to strip the wealth from the corpses of European royal families and peoples.

A stable, harmonious and strong European continent is what they fear most, because the united and awakened European people will inevitably demand every blood debt from these conspirators for hundreds of years, so they use all means to prevent this situation from happening, and every time Europe moves towards unity and stability, they will use all means to destroy it.

We want to expose this vicious and insidious country to the people of Europe, so that everyone can understand who is the real enemy of the European people. The peoples of Europe will unite under the leadership of Germany and build a grand alliance like never before. No more strife, no more killing, this is God's sacred mission to us. We will bring real peace to Europe. ”

Xu Jun was in high spirits and brainwashed his own propaganda minister, who was obviously touched by what Xu Jun had instilled. Goebbels was now sitting like a schoolboy, with a solemn and holy expression on his face, his eyes staring at the gushing leader without blinking, his eyes full of reverence and fanaticism.

Xu Jun opened a closed window for him, and presented him with a scene that he had never imagined, manipulating public opinion throughout Europe and controlling the minds of more than a billion people, what a great goal. If this goal is achieved, the whole world will be changed as a result. What a broad vision and foresight the man who proposed this grand plan is that the Führer's thinking has gone beyond the considerations of one country and one place, and directly overrides the whole of the European continent, nay, perhaps not only the continent...... Goebbels was so moved that he just wanted to kneel down and bow to the gods in front of him.

"My Führer, it will be the honor and pride of my life to be part of this great cause, and I will do everything in my power to accomplish your goal. You can trust me as much as you trust Borman, and I swear to you, I'm Paul. Joseph. Goebbels to Reinhardt. Feng. Stadler gives all his loyalty, and my life, my everything, will be subordinated to your will until the moment of death. Goebbels stood up, then fell down on one knee in front of Xu Jun and solemnly said his vow.

"I accept your vow, Dr. Goebbels, that I believe in your loyalty to me and to the Fatherland." Xu Jun smiled and nodded at Goebbels.

"As I said earlier, this work will take a lot of manpower and material resources, which is the inevitable price to achieve our great cause, and when you return to Germany, you have to start preparing for it as soon as you return to Germany, and the work is very stressful, and you have to be mentally prepared. I will command Himmler and Borman to cooperate with you to the fullest, and you will have all the resources and privileges you want, and I am sure you will not let me down. When our cause is complete, dear Goebbels, you will go down in history with me. Xu Jun opened the cigar box on the coffee table at hand and took out a cigar from the box.

"Now let's talk about the practical issues. Note that what I said is still top secret and is not allowed to be disclosed to the public, and you must be clear that once similar rumors appear in China, they must be immediately curbed at the source, and the source of the rumors must be investigated. Xu Jun pulled out a long cigar match from the silver-plated matchbox, lit it on the phosphosphor skin on one side of the box, and lit the cigar.

"Yes, I will keep an eye on these issues, my Führer." Goebbels nodded vigorously.

"I believe in your and Himmler's abilities. Now listen, I have signed a secret agreement with the President of France, that France and Germany have entered into a state of armistice, that in due course France will openly surrender to Germany, that the war on the European continent is over, and that Germany has won a complete victory. Xu Jun raised his hand to stop the agitated Goebbels.

"But at the moment we can't tell the German people about it, because there are strategic imperatives involved. What you have to do now is to guide pro-French public opinion in Germany before this news is announced, try to promote reconciliation between nations and states, advocate tolerance and forgiveness, and make people believe that this can reflect the nobility and excellence of the Germanic nation, and only the strong are qualified to forgive, etc., anyway, you are an expert in this area, and you don't need me to guide you on how to do it. We must get the Germans to let go of their hatred of the French, and the French are already ahead of us in this work, and the results are already being seen. ”

"Yes, during my day of my stay in Paris, I went around the streets of Paris, and the French seemed to have accepted to live in peace with the Germans, at least I did not see anyone with a hateful expression." Goebbels nodded in agreement.

"I have allowed the French radio and newspapers of the Pétain government to be freely disseminated in the German occupation zone, and for this is the effect that the French have done very well, so I hope that the German media will catch up quickly, that we have defeated them on the battlefield and cannot lose to them in this regard. This is about the next step of our national strategy, and you have to pay attention to it, and I look forward to seeing the results as soon as possible. ”

"Everything is according to your will, my Führer." Goebbels replied respectfully.

"Very well, now let's talk about film and television, we already have a public television system, and I think we should improve on that......"

While the two Nazi leaders were excitedly discussing various reactionary plots, there was a knock on the office door, and after obtaining Xu Jun's consent, the SS colonel with a poker face walked in with a document.

"My Führer, General Bock, sent a telegram that the first wave of attacking forces had begun to advance in the direction of Dover. The third phase of the campaign has begun, and Marshal Brauchitsch wants you to be able to go to the command room of the High Command. Daogen handed the document in his hand to Xu Jun.

"Started early? You go and reply to Marshal Brauchitsch, and I'll be right there. Xu Jun took the document and put it on the coffee table in front of him, he stood up and smiled at Goebbels and said.

"Interested in being an attestator of history? Dr. Goebbels. The German army is advancing, and we are now going to conquer England. (To be continued......)
