On April 15, 1945, forced by the increasingly critical situation on the Eastern Front, Hitler and the entire base camp flew from the airfield near Salzburg to East Prussia on a number of planes. //. 78 high-speed updates //
After several years of construction, the "wolf's den" has changed a lot, and the bunker has been covered with a ten-meter-thick reinforced concrete roof, which, together with the newly built bunker, has emerged from the forest like an Egyptian pyramid. Hitler took up residence in well-camouflaged hospitality bunkers. The inside of the bunker was like a labyrinth, from which two so-called gates were passed through the first "ten" passage leading to the garrison, in which SS members of Hitler's personal guard were on duty. The first "ten" passage is the bedroom of the female secretaries.
From the first ten, there is a curving corridor that leads to the second ten, where the rooms of the adjutant, Moral, Ringer, and the heralds are located. From here, zigzag passages led to Hitler's studio and bedroom. Hitler's dining room and conference room were also in bunkers, with tubes leading into his bedroom that could bring in oxygen.
A thick concrete wall protected the entrance to the bunker, with machine guns placed between the wall and the bunker to prevent the Soviets from sending paratroopers to attack, and a network of machine guns on top of the bunker to protect the entrances. At the same time, outside Hitler's hospitality bunker, machine-gun positions were also erected.
At one o'clock the next day, Hitler left the reception bunker for a military meeting.
In order to keep the air circulating, the windows of all the conference rooms to the left of the door were left open, and at the beginning of the meeting, in addition to Hitler, Goering, Hillem, Jodl, Corten, Haussinger, Valimant, Figrein, Scherf, Bodenscharts, Foss, Brandt, Schmunt, Kingscher, Putkamel, Baumann, Berg, Keitel's aide-de-camp Johann von Frynder, Jodel's staff Weetzenegger, Bissis, Assmann, and Ribbentrop's Minister Soonreitner, He is here today in place of Hawell.
The meeting began with a report on the fighting on the Eastern Front.
The current situation in the Central Theater of Operations is roughly as follows: Vitebsk, Orsha, Mogilev, Bobruisk and Minsk are already in the rear of the Soviet army at this time. The German Northern Front cluster had to abandon the Lithuanian capital Vilnius after a bitter battle. The Soviet armored vanguard was approaching Sauliai and Yergava.
In the face of the fierce offensive of the Soviet troops, the Germans could not rearrange their positions, there were gaps everywhere in the defensive line, and the Soviet troops had reached the border of East Prussia, a few days before this meeting, in the eastern regions of Ukraine. The Soviets again launched an offensive from Voroshilovgrad and Kaminsk Shakhtinsky to Rostov, and in the lower reaches of the Don River and the North Caucasus, the Soviets forcibly crossed the Manech River and captured Salsk and Devnoye, threatening the security of Rostov and the main Black Sea railway from the southeast.
At the beginning of the debriefing, Haussinger began with the news of a new offensive that was unfolding on a front about 200 kilometers wide, in which the Soviets had successfully penetrated deep into the German defensive positions and that the front had broken through the "Prince Eugen position" east of Levu. "Fierce fighting is taking place on the road to Levu. ”
At this time. Keitel came to the conference room, accompanied by Buller and Colonel von Stauffenburg of the General Staff. Stauffenburg served as Chief of the General Staff at the side of the commander-in-chief of the Home Corps, Colonel-General Flåm, and lived on Berlin's Bendler Strasse, where Flåm's headquarters was located. He came to the base camp only when he had to report on the situation of the home army. Stauffenberg had previously fought on the African front with Field Marshal Rommel's army, losing his left arm, a right eye, and three fingers of his right hand in one battle.
Haussinger continued to report.
Hitler buried himself deep in the table and stood there studying the map of the Eastern Front.
When Stauffenburg came in, he put his briefcase under the battle chart, and his adjutant, Lieutenant Heft, sat down on the sofa behind the conference table that circled the wall. Put the black suitcase in your hand behind you.
Haussinger had been reporting for a long time, and Stauffenberg looked at his watch, smiled apologetically at Keitel, said that he was going to call next door, and then left the conference room. Two minutes later, his adjutant, Lieutenant Heft, also left the room, and the two seemed to have forgotten about the briefcase and the black suitcase.
In the past, there was a sudden loud "boom" from the conference room, and then huge flames and thick smoke erupted from the windows of the conference room. Countless pieces of flesh and stumps and severed arms were thrown out of the window with waves of air, and chaos was everywhere.
Two hours later, martial law was imposed in Berlin, and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Home Corps stationed in Berlin took control of the streets, bridges and other communication arteries, Goebbels was killed while trying to leave the Chancellery, and Ribbentrop was arrested in the Reichstag. This is the code word for the local corps to declare a national state of emergency.
Other than that. Fromm's staff also informed the military districts that since Hitler was dead. Germany will form a new government headed by Field Marshal von Witzleben.
Shortly after the notice from the General Staff, Heydrich, the deputy Führer in Warsaw, Poland, also announced Hitler's death, but announced in a telegram that Hitler and the members of the High Command had died as a result of Field Marshal von Witzleben, General Beck, former Chief of the Army General Staff, Hopner, former Commander of the Fourth Tank Group, General Fromm, Commander-in-Chief of the Home Corps, and General Albrecht, Chief of Staff, and Colonel of the General Staff, Merz von Queienheim, and others, specifically by Stauffenberg and his adjutant, Lieutenant Heft.
In 1952, only 2% of the German people agreed to resist the Nazi rule. Now that all Germans know that the local corps has mutined and von Witzleben and others are traitors, the uproar caused by it can be imagined in a country like Germany, which values legal principles and traditions.
Soon, three SS divisions stationed in Berlin began to encircle and suppress the mutinous native corps, and Manstein, who had been appointed commander of the tank corps by Hitler, announced that he would lead his troops to join the counterinsurgency.
At dusk, Major Remaier, commander of the Berlin Guard Battalion, who had received orders from Heydrich, led his soldiers to storm the headquarters of the Home Corps, and the rebels were ready to be captured. Eager to wash his name, Fromm, commander-in-chief of the home corps, ordered the arrest of Stauffenburg, Albricht, Haas, and Beck, among others.
After a brief "interrogation" of them, Fromm ordered Stauffenberg, Olbricht, and two of their junior accomplices to be shot in the courtyard below.
When he was arrested, Stauffenberg was shot in the left arm, and after his arrest he remained silent, only shouting "Long live our holy Germany!" before his execution. Baker pleaded to kill himself. But he shot twice, but he missed the point. Fromm then ordered the lip martingale to be small?
At 0:30 a.m. on 17 April, Heydrich broadcast to the nation that a week later he would give a state funeral to the Führer Hitler, who had no body, in Berlin, and then ordered that every citizen in the country should be obliged to arrest the rebels, and if they resisted, they would be killed! Since almost all of the top Nazi Party leaders died in the explosion, Heydrich ordered Manstein to replace Flåm that day. Served as commander-in-chief of the Native Corps.
Berlin, Chancellery.
In the early morning of 19 April, Heydrich, accompanied by SS Chief of Staff Zhong Lei and South China Special Envoy to Germany Yin Jinan, stood on the balcony of the Chancellery, looking out at the huge square that had been empty due to martial law. Hitler used to inspect the troops and marchers here countless times, and his presence was once a unique sight here.
"It's unbelievable!"
Heydrich shook his head: "I'm a person who was once swept away by the Navy. One day, he will be able to enter the Chancellery and become the master of Germany! ”
Yin Jinan kindly reminded Mr. I don't want you to be blinded by the power in front of you. The defeat of Germany was already an irretrievable reality. I think you should think about it for the post-war! ”
Heydrich turned his head, the longer the Tao lasted, the better it would be for us, but Germany, as my second home, could no longer stand the toss. Now the Allied bombardment of Germany is getting worse and worse, and the German people are not shedding blood and dying all the time. Once the Allies and Soviets invade the German mainland, it will be a miserable end! When the break continues to suffer from the chaos, it is time to cut through the chaos quickly! ”
Heydrich smiled bitterly: "But I always feel that it is not time for peace talks!" Surrender now, I'm afraid the military will tear me to shreds! Even within the SS, there would certainly be a large number of people who dissented to this! ”
"Not necessarily!"
Yin Jinan raised his eyebrows: "If it was two or three years ago, your worries would undoubtedly be correct. But now it's 1945. The German people, who had experienced successive defeats, no longer had the confidence and courage to win. At this time, you put forward a peace proposal, and although there are many people who oppose it, there are certainly more people who support it. ”
"Moreover, in the current war, victory or defeat can no longer be decided solely on the basis of the quality of officers and men and the quality of equipment, but there are other additional things. For example, if one of the atomic bombs developed by our country falls, there will be no life for people or animals within a radius of several tens of kilometers. As far as I know, now the United States and Great Britain are also working on the atomic bomb, while Germany is far from working on this area, once ......"
"Say no more!"
Heydrich raised his right hand: "On May 8, I will announce here that I will officially end this terrible war, and I hope that you can abide by the agreement and send peacekeeping troops into the border areas between Germany and neighboring countries before the war to carry out peacekeeping operations and protect the innocent German people!" ”
Yin Jinan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, as long as you can agree to transfer experts and scholars in artillery, armor materials, engines, submarines, missiles, jet aircraft, optical instruments, unmanned and remote control, night vision, guided weapons, etc. to our country, and hand over the relevant materials to us, we can guarantee the personal and property safety of the German people!" ”
"Regardless of the belief that under our protection, Mr. Reinhard could have run for the post of chancellor of Germany after the war."
Heydrich was very happy: "I hope that day will come soon!" ”
Chunxiang City, the base camp of Longtan.
An Yi received the telegram sent back by Yin Jinan from Berlin, and said to Du Yi who came to report with satisfaction: "You have made good use of this opportunity, no one would have imagined that Stauffenberg and his adjutant Heft brought in our special bombs, even if Stauffenburg's high-explosive bombs could not kill Hitler, the cloud burst bombs in the suitcase were enough to raze the conference room of the 'Wolf's Lair'. ”
"yes!"
Du Yi grinned: "Our intelligence officers approached Stauffenberg on their own initiative in the name of American agents. He personally showed him the power of the two bombs, which made him abandon the bomb he had prepared and use the one we had provided instead, which achieved such good results! ”
A faint hint of pathos flashed in An Yi's eyes. With his limited military power, he has conquered almost all of Europe, and if it weren't for his stubbornness and disobedience, I would have loved to be friends with him! ”
"It's a pity that it takes a hundred years to produce a great person, who did not die on the battlefield, but died in the conspiracy and assassination of his own people. I have to say that this is the sadness of this era, and at the same time, what happened to Hitler is also worthy of warning from our intelligence services! ”
Du Yi knew indifferently that this would anger the United States9 retired Zhangjun?
"After all, this world speaks with strength!"
An Yi said confidently! ”
"But—"
Du Yi was still a little puzzled, why should he risk fighting with other countries to keep Germany? Wouldn't it be better for us to participate in the carve-up and get a piece of the pie? "Don't skip words.
An Yi patiently explained: "Don't look at the fact that Britain, France, the Soviet Union and other countries have shown enough goodwill towards us now, this is completely based on our strong force, once they develop nuclear weapons in the future, I am afraid that with our entanglement with its colonies, we will definitely turn our face at that time!" ”
"We in South China need to find an ally in Europe to stop the expansion of the Soviets. At the same time, Britain and France were stimulated not to devote all their energies to economic development. To achieve the purpose of pulling the hind legs. In this way, we only need to be wary of the Americans...... Maybe less than twenty years. We in South China can replace the United States and become the world's largest economy! ”
Du Yi suddenly said: "I see! In this way, it is true that Germany cannot be weakened too hard, otherwise they may be difficult to parry! ”
An Yi nodded: "You'd better go to Berlin in person these days and discuss with Jinan how to deal with the aftermath." Ji Nan has been in Germany for many years, he knows the Germans better than I do, and this will be our most valued ally! ”
"Yes!"
At 9 a.m. on April 24, Germany held a state funeral and buried Führer Hitler next to his palace on the Obersalz Mountain near Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, where he enjoyed the beauty of the Alps and guarded the German people for whom he had served all his life.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Heydrich, who had just been approved by the National Assembly as the new head of state, announced to the people that from now on, the Upper Salz Mountain Scenic Area would be listed as a national museum, and the German government would allocate special funds to commemorate the monument to Hitler on the top of the mountain. Heydrich's move quickly gained recognition among the German people and grew in popularity in Germany.
In the early morning of 8 May, after consulting and reaching an agreement with the top leaders of the Nazi Party, important members of the German government, and Wehrmacht generals, Heydrich announced Germany's defeat and surrender in the name of the new German Führer and welcomed the South Chinese army to be stationed in Germany to maintain peace. The German team outside Germany will be withdrawn to Germany in the next three months.
An hour after the German government made this decision, the South China government held a press conference in Chang'an, at which Premier Xu Ziliang personally attended the meeting and expressed his welcome to the German government's decision, saying that the German government took the initiative to end the war, which was in line with the current trend and the interests of most countries in the world.
On behalf of the military, Defense Minister Hu Jialin announced that three group armies would be urgently dispatched to Germany to maintain peace, and the first group army would arrive in Berlin within 24 hours by air. Hu Jialin in the disaster Xingwat station 莼航ィ鹊戮防牒笤俳耄庋梢 member 苊 naan embarrassed to send away?
Surprisingly, no country objected to the South China government's statement.
Britain had its own considerations, most of France was still under German control, and the Soviet Union had reached the border area of East Prussia, only a step away from Berlin, and even if it was a speed, the Soviet Union would occupy Germany faster than the Allies. Rather than cheapen the Soviets, it would be better to let Germany continue to exist, acting as a curtain wall against the Red Soviet Union as it did before the start of World War II.
Not to mention the French, now that even the capital Paris is still in the hands of the Germans, there is nothing better for France to be able to regain the lost interests without a fight. As for the Belgian ぁ5ぢ蟮skirt to Okai ィ sincerely criticize the vertical type 绾尾幌渤鐾猓?
As for the USSR, it also had its own considerations.
Now the Soviet army seems to be strong, but in fact it is weak, tens of millions of troops are full of a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled and women, especially food, ammunition and other materials still need to be borrowed from South China to buy, it can be said that every battle costs a lot of money, if you can peacefully recover Ukraine and the lower reaches of the Don River, save troops, for the next step to attack the Balkan Peninsula and take the Black Sea mouth is beneficial.
In this way, the German surrender was carried out so calmly, and Nanhua unexpectedly became the biggest winner, which made people smash their glasses.
