Hitler stayed at the Sechelinhof Palace, and one day someone knocked on Hitler's door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Bock.

Bock hammered Hitler the shoulder: "You kid is good, you really got the Blue Max Medal." ”

"Hehe, I got the Blue Max Medal one step ahead of you, naturally it is very powerful, what about you, last time you personally commanded us to break through the second and third lines of defense, and the credit is not small, right?"

Hitler took Bock into the room and sat down and poured him a glass of boiled water.

"Ah," Bock sighed, his face cold, "hard to say." ”

"Speak slowly." Hitler sat down across from him.

"Okay, take your time, it's okay right now anyway, I'll have time to chat with you."

Bock took a sip of boiling water and told Hitler about his time.

Because of Verdun's meritorious command, Bock was promoted to major and was ready to be transferred to Berlin, but at this time, Bock suddenly liked the blood and fire on the front line, and did not want to plan in the office, so he was sent to the 4th Infantry Regiment as a battalion commander. Originally, everything was fine, but he did not expect that his battalion suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Cambrai, losing 70 percent of the personnel, and all the soldiers in the battalion were wounded, almost all of them were seriously wounded, so his battalion was also nicknamed the "suicide battalion", although Bock fought bravely, but such a record The General Staff said that he did not dare to let him go to the front, so he was transferred to the 200 Infantry Division of the Southern Reserve Force as a staff officer, but he did not expect that in the 200 Division he encountered the biggest dilemma of his life -- he was disgusted by the officers of the whole staff.

Why is it disgusted by all staff officers?

This has to start with the defeat of the Battle of Verdun, the Battle of Verdun killed so many people, who is responsible? Kaiser? Crown Prince Victor? Or front-line officers and soldiers?

It was naturally impossible to put these people in charge, so Falkingham, as the chief of the General Staff, became a scapegoat and was forced to leave Berlin to fight in Romania.

As Falkingham's nephew, Bock was also implicated, in fact, the impact was not great, but crucially, the son of the commander of the 200th Division died in the Battle of Verdun......

In such a situation, even if the commander of the 200th division does not target him, the subordinates of the division commander will target him, and currying favor with his boss is not the exclusive patent of a certain country.

Bock, naturally, was also ostracized by everyone.

In addition, after the news of his command of the "suicide battalion" spread throughout the division, Bock's image in everyone's hearts became even more unbearable.

"That period was probably the most difficult period of my life, it was more painful than military school, and I almost became a nervous breakdown." Bock laughed at himself that he had been used to it since he was a child, and he couldn't stand it when he suddenly encountered adversity.

"You have to be thankful for these painful ordeals because they make you stronger." Hitler said calmly.

"Well, but it's all right, now I have been transferred from the 200th Division and transferred to the Crown Prince Army Group as the chief of operations." Bock breathed a sigh of relief and stopped paying attention to the painful memories.

"Chief of Operations for the Crown Prince's Army Group?" Hitler was surprised, this army group is a large unit, one level higher than the army group, not to mention the crown prince army group, it can be said that it is the descendant of the crown prince Victor, and the crown prince army group has always been a front-line force, but it is not an indiscriminate number of old and weak, sick and disabled, let Bock be the chief of operations, the power and responsibility are not small, and the role is very large.

Bock smiled at Hitler: "Actually, it was more for political reasons that made me the chief of operations. ”

It turned out to be a political reason, Hitler suddenly let Bock be the chief of operations, presumably the German royal family wanted to win over the former chief of the General Staff Falkingham, as the former chief of the General Staff, Falkingham is not the only one who represents, what is important in politics is the relationship and standing in line, Falkingham has a large number of supporters behind him, and he has a lot of power.

If the German royal family really wants to rectify Fa Jinhan, it will imprison Fa Jinhan and then purge a large number of people. As for Falkingham's nephew Bock, he will also be implicated, even if he does not make a mistake, then he can only be a low-level officer in his life.

However, the German royal family did not kill Falkingham, on the contrary, it only dismissed Falkingham and let Falkingham command the Ninth Army in Romania, without losing real power.

Obviously, the dismissal law is only for the civilian population.

Allowing Bock to come to the Crown Prince Army Group as the chief of operations is to let Falkingham's old department see: I still trust Falkingham.

"Although I may have been asked to come to the Crown Prince Army Group for political reasons, I am very grateful to the Crown Prince anyway. ”

Hitler nodded, through the contact in the past few days, he also felt that the crown prince Victor was indeed a good person, after all, he was the future emperor of Germany, and he taught court etiquette since he was a child, so he naturally had a different demeanor.

The two of them were bored in the house, so they went to a nearby park to play, stopping and playing along the way.

The snow is no longer falling, but the weather is even colder, but fortunately, the Europeans are originally strong in cold resistance, plus Hitler and Bock are both strong people, and they are not afraid of the cold at all.

"Well, further ahead is Barberberg Park." Bock said that he was very familiar with Potsdam.

"I used to think that the Kaiser lived in the Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, but why is the Kaiser living in Sanssouci now?" Hitler asked, Sanssouci is located in Potsdam, and although it is very close to the center of Berlin, only half an hour's drive away, Sanssouci still belongs to Potsdam, not in the capital Berlin. In the consciousness of ordinary people, the leader of a country should be in charge of the capital.

Bock stared at Xinte with strange eyes: "The Kaiser is afraid of people like you." ”

"Afraid of people like me?" Hitler was at a loss.

Bock chuckled: "Berlin is a metropolis, more than a million people, it is inevitable that there will be spies, the Kaiser is afraid that like the Grand Duke Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo back then, if they are assassinated, it will be a big deal, so, for the sake of safety, the royal family will also be transferred to Sanssouci Palace, Sanssouci Palace is not bad, anyway, Sanssouci Palace was originally a royal palace, and the German Emperor often lived in Sanssouci Palace in peacetime. ”

Hitler nodded, the Kaiser lived in Sanssouci Palace, and was obviously much safer.

"Well, look......" said the two men, and as they walked to a garden, Hitler suddenly saw a child squatting in a rockery. The child was dirty, lying motionless in the cracks of the rockery.

"Let's go, let's take a look." Bock said.

The two walked along the path to the front of the rockery, and in the crack of the rockery was a little girl, with a pair of cute big eyes blinking at Hitler and Bock.

Hitler asked under the rockery, "Which child are you and why are you in the rockery?" ”

The little girl shook her head at them, a finger on her pink lips, motioning for them not to speak.

"Come down, it's dangerous up there."

Bock also said, but the little girl still did not move, in the distance, four German soldiers walked over, and Hitler glanced at Bock: "Do you say that this little girl was kidnapped by some upper class and then escaped." ”

Bock nodded in agreement: "Although there are few in our country, there are such people who like to play with little girls, and they are really perverted." ”

"We're going to save her." Hitler said.

The four German soldiers ran up to them and opened their mouths to ask them something, but Hitler and Bock did not give them a chance to speak, and both of them shot at the same time, first knocking the two soldiers far away, and then a few punches, and quickly knocking the other two soldiers to the ground.

The battle was easy and simple, the opponent had no way to fight back, and Hitler grabbed one of the soldiers by the neck: "Say, who are you, why do you want to catch the little girl?" ”

Before the soldier could reply, a young girl's voice came from behind him: "Are you two insane?" How can you hurt my guards for no reason. ”

"Well, they're your guards, not here to arrest you?" Hitler turned his head and saw that it was the little girl hiding on the rockery.

The little girl crossed her waist and looked like a shrew: "I play hide and seek with them." ”
