Chapter 107: The Capitol
Time is of the essence, and Hitler personally commanded it at the SS headquarters.
"Call Dennis, Gudos, and Pike, and tell them to arrest all the members of Congress in the Capitol, and convene an emergency national meeting this afternoon to elect a new president and prime minister, by the way, it turns out that the government officials and the prime minister didn't run away, and they will be arrested for me and tried in the Capitol this afternoon."
"Let's go! Let's go occupy the Capitol! β
Hitler took a few hundred SS members and drove all the way to the Reichstag, which was said to have been occupied by some Wehrmacht soldiers.
The Capitol must be taken before the change of dynasty can take place in the Capitol in the afternoon.
At this time, it was already dawn, and Berlin, which was originally lively and prosperous, rarely saw pedestrians on the streets because of the war. Running all the way, more and more buildings, until finally we reached the Reichstag, where hundreds of SS soldiers were attacking the Wehrmacht inside.
"Give it to me, take it at all costs." Hitler said that the hundreds of SS soldiers who followed him also joined the attack on the Reichstag, and even Hitler's personal guards Manniu and Wallenstein also joined the battle, leaving only Steiner, Goering, and a few staff officers in command.
There were only more than 100 soldiers in the Reichstag, but relying on the concealed Reichstag and sophisticated weapons, they were able to stop the attack of nearly 1,000 SS troops.
"No, the progress is too slow, and it won't be able to fight in the dark if it goes on like this, by the way, didn't a party member on the way here just now give us an Italian cannon? Fucking Italian cannon, push it up for me. Hitler crossed his waist and said with red eyes.
Steiner stopped: "Shelling the Reichstag? It's not good. β
Goering also said: "Yes, the Reichstag is a symbol of the unity of our country, and if it is bombed, it will cause dissatisfaction among the citizens." β
"Take it out, bomb me, even Berlin has been beaten, I am afraid of some crime, the king will be defeated, in this struggle either we will win and seize the state power, or we will lose, and there will be no place to bury, boom!" Hitler's sharp, cold eyes looked at the two of them, and they had to do so, and several staff officers pushed a cannon up. As the cannon was discharged, there was a thunderbolt from the sky, and the flames printed on his face, crackling, and the top building of the Capitol suddenly fell like a hillside, and dust and cement fell.
The entire front of the Capitol suddenly collapsed a small half, and the gunfire inside was much quieter.
"Up, give me the submachine gun, I'll get it myself!" Hitler fired a staff officer's submachine gun and rushed towards the Reichstag.
People will grow and change, in the past he lived for others, and he didn't have too many thoughts in his heart, but now he has thoughts, lives for himself, and lives for those who follow him, and there is a different power in his body.
People need to think, and people without thoughts are mediocre, like walking corpses, and people with thoughts are different and can often succeed in doing things.
Hitler is now a man with a mind, he has to fight for himself, he has to fight for those who follow him, he has to fight for his own ideas and goals, so this has also created his current madness.
Hitler armed with a submachine gun, aimed at the enemy inside the Reichstag and opened fire, and several people ran wildly, and just as they were about to storm the Reichstag, Goering rushed to Hitler's side and screamed: "Leader! Leader! Oh no, a large number of Wehrmacht troops appeared behind us, shooting at us. β
Wehrmacht!
Hitler was so shocked that he ripped off Steiner's binoculars and jumped on the roof of a Mercedes-Benz, only to see that there were many Wehrmacht soldiers on the street with submachine guns rushing towards them, attacking the SS.
Kleist! Manstein! Gothhard Heinrich!
They can be clearly seen in the telescope, isn't this the Berlin regiment that was reorganized into the first battalion of the second regiment?
How could they shoot at themselves?
I never thought that the Berlin regiment, which was once established with my own hands, and the once close comrades-in-arms, would one day shoot at me.
Hitler knew the strength of the Berlin regiment, tremblingly took out his pistol and put it on his temple, closed his eyes in despair, and was about to pull the trigger when GΓΆring pulled Hitler's hand off and said: "Leader! Leader! There is still hope that we can fight back! β
"Is there any hope?" Hitler muttered, and then his gaze became firm: "Yes, it's just that the second regiment and the first battalion are defenseless, and the rest of the Wehrmacht is under control." β
However, the 2nd Regiment and 1st Battalion were after all a division of a hundred battles, and in addition to the sudden attack from behind, the front and rear flanked the attack, which the SS was no match for the Wehrmacht, Hitler said: "Retreat! All of them retreated with me to the Customs House. β
On the Mercedes-Benz car, Hitler asked for a rifle and aimed at Kleist in the distance, he was angry at Kleist, a partner he once trusted, and never expected Kleist to betray him, and at such a critical point in time, it can be said that Kleist's behavior is very likely to lead to the failure of his struggle, and there will be no day to turn over.
Although they hadn't touched a gun for several years, they weren't far away, and Hitler was sure to kill Kleist with one shot.
After a few seconds of silence on the noisy battlefield, Hitler sighed, put down his gun, and followed the army away from the Reichstag.
The Customs House was not far from the Reichstag, and the SS retreated to the inside to resist resolutely.
While everyone was resisting the building, and the outside was surrounded by Wehrmacht regiments, a Wehrmacht soldier waved a white flag and walked all the way to the customs building, but this man was Manstein.
Manstein first gave Hitler a military salute and said: "Commander, resistance is useless, you are already surrounded. β
Hitler sat in his chair and gasped, looking at him faintly: "All of Berlin is under my control, and at the latest this afternoon there will be an influx of countless masses into Berlin, and then I will become president and leader of the whole of Germany." Say! Why do you betray me? I thought that the worst outcome would be that your Berlin regiment would wait and see what happened, and not participate in this political struggle, never expecting that you would betray me. β
"The day before yesterday, Field Marshal Hindenburg came to our camp in person, and he never left, it was Field Marshal Hindenburg who gave the order to let Kleist attack the SS, how do you say we should choose?" Manstein explained.
"Hindenburg is there with you?" Hitler was so angry that he couldn't believe it.
Manstein nodded and said: "Yes, Marshal Hindenburg expected that there were your people in the intelligence bureau, and he was afraid that you would carry out the beheading operation, so he moved the headquarters to our battalion a long time ago, regiment commander, surrender, the Wehrmacht reinforcements from all over the country have arrived in Berlin by train, and you can't resist it." β
"Surrender?" Hitler stood up and looked at the vast sky through the window: "Surrender is death, even if you don't die, you will be imprisoned for the rest of your life, come, send off the guest, send him back safely." β
The atmosphere inside the Customs House was deadly silent, everyone was silent, and only the sound of the two sides fighting downstairs could be heard.
Suddenly, Wallenstein ran up and said, "Leader, someone wants to see you......"
Before the words fell, the two people walked into Hitler's eyes, and it was actually Bock, and the other person turned out to be Tukhachevsky, who had already jumped to the rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union.
"You ...... Why are you here? Hitler went up and shook their hands, surprised at their presence.
Tukhachevsky smiled: "On the first floor of the customs building is our Soviet embassy, why can't we be here." β
"I'm the head of the secret R program, and I often come here to consult with Tukhachevsky," Bock said. β
"Secret Plan R?" Hitler did not understand this plan.
Pokhara took Hitler's hand and walked down the stairs and said: "The Treaty of Versailles does not allow us to study tanks and machine guns, and we in Germany cooperate with the Soviet Union to secretly study military weapons and train soldiers. (To be continued.) )
