Chapter 263: The Führer's Royal Dog

Early the next morning, Rommel rushed to the high command to attend the Supreme Military Council, where he met Hitler's secretary, Miss Schroeder, in the corridor.

"Marshal Rommel, Marshal Keitel is looking for you."

"Miss Schroeder, thank you for your notice, how about a cup of coffee later?"

"It's a great honor to be invited by Marshal Rommel, see you on your lunch break."

Krista in history? Schroeder's experience was so shocking! In 1930 she became one of Germany's 7 million unemployed, and in 1933 she became Hitler's private secretary by chance.

Krista? Schroeder followed Hitler for 12 years, obeying him day and night. At the Chancellery, in Berghof, up to the Berlin bunker, she stayed with him, leaving him only in the last days before his death.

After World War II, the victors wrote all history, and Hitler's true face was always obscured by some fragments of the newsrear, from which we only see the image of him screaming madly in the face of the civilized world. Schroeder's testimony is most accurate.

(Note: There is no doubt that Hitler committed crimes against the human genus, please don't put a hat on the head of the fallen leaves.) )

After Schroeder finished speaking, he walked away with a stack of documents in his arms, on the surface, Schroeder seemed to have a calm facial expression, but in fact, his heart was already full of passion.

Rommel's tough appearance, elegant conversation, and heroic aura all deeply attracted Schroeder, an older leftover woman, and Rommel is now the most noble bachelor in Germany.

The current High Command is on the second floor of the Reichstag Building, next to Hitler's office, but there are more rooms in the High Command, which used to be a large conference room, which has been renovated.

Keitel was now Chief of the General Staff of the High Command, and Field Marshal Ter was nicknamed a "lackey" among the top German generals, because of his proximity to Hitler, who remained loyal to him until the day of his suicide.

As the head of the Supreme Command of the German armed forces, Keitel's military qualities and talents were quite good.

However, Keitel was a tool used by Hitler to seize power, and the struggle for power between him and Hitler seriously undermined the already perfect command system of the German army, and also caused some high-ranking generals to have serious dissatisfaction with Hitler.

Hitler was assassinated 44 times, half of which were committed by the Germans themselves, which shows how serious the contradictions between Hitler and his generals were.

The most serious thing is that Hitler himself was not a strategist and military strategist, but only a battalion commander, can such a person command the strategic Armageddon of millions of people be good? Hitler was to blame for Germany's great defeat in the latter part of history.

Both the Army General Command and the Army General Staff believe that the Army has a very important role to play in any future war, and they hope that the Army will have a decisive influence on the course of the war.

They advocated that the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces should be composed of those who led the entire campaign, with the smallest possible structure.

The Supreme High Command is only a staff organ of the Führer, and should only draw up strategic plans and plans for future campaigns in general, and should not interfere with the command of specific front-line generals.

Therefore, they resolutely oppose the expansion of the powers of the Supreme High Command of the armed forces, and strive to expand the operational and organizational structure of the General Staff of the Army in the light of the development of the Army, and do their utmost to prevent the emergence of certain army command structures belonging to the Supreme High Command system in the Army.

Much of the Army's General Staff was designed to prevent power from falling into the hands of military advisers as loyal to Hitler, such as Keitel, who might exhibit dangerous, unprincipled approval of Hitler's war plans.

Historically, Hitler, in the early stage of the war, his campaign planning and command were carried out by the General Army Command, and Hitler did not intervene very much, at most he actively participated in the formulation of preparatory measures.

By the beginning of the French campaign, Hitler had begun to intervene in the command of the front, and the result was a dangerous double command between the Supreme Command and the Army General Staff, and even the complete deprivation of the Army General Command of the command of the land campaign.

This confusion in the establishment of the supreme command structure, this endless disagreement, even spreads to the lower levels.

In short, Keitel's man paved the way for Hitler to establish his "commander-in-chief" in the German army and made it unimpeded.

If Field Marshal Keitel had been well guided, Germany would have seen a different picture, at least without overlapping and confusion in wartime.

When Hitler made a mistake in his strategic decision, Hitler's most trusted military adviser helped persuade him, so that Germany's mistakes would be greatly reduced, and it was a difficult problem for Rommel to try his best to win the approval and trust of Field Marshal Keitel.

Rommel wandered to Keitel's office, which was separated from Hitler's office by another man's office, that of Reichmarshal Goering.

The struggle between Keitel and Goering was already an open secret in the German upper echelons, and of course Hitler would not care about it, and the struggle between his subordinates and ministers was more conducive to his rule.

Rommel, as Keitel's subordinate, still needs to knock on the door and shout a report before entering, and the German hierarchy is extremely strict and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Rommel must abide by this rule.

"Bumper ...... Report ......"

"Please come in ......"

When Keitel saw that Rommel was coming, he hurriedly stood up to greet him, and greeted him very warmly:

"It's Marshal Rommel! Congratulations to my brother, he was promoted to the rank of marshal so quickly, my brother is now the youngest of the eleven marshals of Germany, and my brother has a bright future in the future! ”

Marshal Kettle, the "Führer's royal dog", was extremely flattering to Rommel as soon as he came up, and Keitel must have his own purpose in showing favor to Rommel like this, Rommel knew it in his heart, and watched how Kettel performed.

Rommel immediately smiled and said to Marshal Keitel:

"This is all the promotion and appreciation of the Führer, and the grace of the Führer's acquaintance is unforgettable."

"That's, that'...... Please come and sit here, I have the authentic West Lake Longjing in me. ”

Keitel actually knew that Rommel liked to be with West Lake Longjing, and it seems that Kettel, the "Führer's royal dog", was still secretly working on Rommel!

Rommel's heart is like a mirror, Keitel has put so much effort into understanding himself, he must have a plan, and the little bit of caution of the Germans should not be shown in front of the spring moon.

After waiting for his lover to sit down, Keitel was very human, and Rommel poured and brewed a cup of West Lake Longjing tea:

"Please taste it and see how it tastes?"

Rommel picked up the teacup and tasted the following very familiar taste of home:

"Nice, very authentic West Lake Longjing...... I don't know what the Chief of the General Staff is looking for me? ”
