Chapter 264: Hitler's Successor
The military talk more directly, the Germans are even more so, and Keitel doesn't want to beat around the bush with Rommel:
"I said brother! Do you know that someone has already sued you with the Führer, and he has accused you of being a warlord, saying that you want to divide one side, which is a great crime of killing your head? ”
Someone actually accused himself of being a warlord and wanted to divide the territory, who is this! When Rommel heard what Kettel said, his expression really became solemn, and this crime was not a joke.
If Hitler believed the man, even if Hitler didn't kill him, Rommel would have been left unused, which was what Rommel was most worried about.
"Slander, this is ****% naked slander, who slandered me so much, I want to go to the Führer to sue him."
Keitel was an expert at reading words and feelings, and Rommel's reaction was exactly what he wanted, and after a moment he continued:
"I advise my brother not to think about suing him here, he was a comrade-in-arms when the Führer rose, he was injured for the Führer, he was imprisoned for the Führer, you go to the Führer to sue him, it is useless."
In Germany, Goering was the only one who had been wounded and imprisoned for the Führer, and Keitel had already made it clear.
Keitel had blocked the way for Rommel to go to Hitler to complain, but he told Rommel about it at this time, indicating that he was a different way! How could Rommel, the traverser, not understand:
"Chief of the General Staff, in Germany, Goering has always been arrogant and unlimited, and the number of offended people is too great to count.
For the first time, he said in public that he was going to remove you from the post of chief of the General Staff, and many people heard it with their own ears, and I don't know how the chief of the General Staff felt about this? ”
Rommel doesn't want to be led by Keitel, since you Keitel wants to cooperate, then show sincerity, let's join forces to deal with that dead fat man of Goering.
Keitel is also a person who understands, and Rommel is certainly not stupid, since Rommel has talked about this, then everyone should be open and honest!
Keitel thought about it and said:
"How about we join forces to deal with that dead fat man?"
This is also what Rommel wanted, when Goering's dead fat man was in the terminal, he looked at Rommel with vicious eyes, and Rommel had deeply felt Goering's murderous intent towards him.
If Goering wanted Rommel to die, why should Rommel be polite to Goering! In addition, if he wants to reach the pinnacle of power in the future, Goering is also the biggest obstacle.
"No problem, I don't know what arrangements the Chief of the General Staff has?"
Keitel pondered for a moment and then said:
"In my case, I often complained to the Führer about Goering, and the Führer gradually lost trust in Goering.
And you are outside, you must seize the military power, and when the time is ripe, you will kill that dead fat man with one blow. ”
"Then do it, and send someone to send you a separate password book in the evening, so that we can contact each other individually."
"It's still my brother who thinks thoughtfully."
……
At nine o'clock in the morning, the German Supreme Military Conference was held as scheduled, attended by more than 10 people, all with the lowest rank of general.
The theme of the meeting was to discuss the final details of the Barbarossa Plan, which could no longer be changed, and this meeting was just a finalization of the final details.
Rommel wanted to find a corner to sit in, but Hitler stopped him:
"Rommel come and sit beside me, and I've got some questions for you later...... Goering, you make room and sit down. ”
Goering's dead fat man's face suddenly turned red and white, and his eyes when he looked at Rommel were full of murderous intent.
The rest of the participants gloated, Goering's popularity as a dead fat man was really not good, and everyone just wanted him to look like Goering had fallen out of favor.
The conference table is a ten-meter-long long table that can seat two people directly above it, and in the past, Hitler and Goering sat in meetings, but now Goering was driven down by Hitler, what does it mean?
It meant that Goering was no longer favored by Hitler, and Rommel became Hitler's new object of dependence. In the **** Third Reich, once Goering fell out of favor, it meant losing all rights, there is no doubt about this.
Goering did not dare to get angry in front of Hitler, he could only curse Rommel in his heart, curse Hitler in his heart for unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and Goering's hatred and anger grew like weeds in his heart.
Goering thought to himself:
"Hitler, I have been injured for you, I have been imprisoned for you, but now you are treating me like this, you were the first to be unkind to me, don't blame me for killing you."
Goering, with his face gloomy and his head bowed, sat down below, and now Goering did not look at the crowd, but lay on the table and pretended to sleep, for fear that his hateful gaze would be perceived by Hitler.
Hitler completely treated Goering as if he didn't exist, he slept whenever he wanted, and Goering couldn't give him advice in the Barbarossa Plan.
Rommel sat down next to Hitler half-pushed and half-sat down, and more than a dozen generals or marshals attending the meeting below cast envy, congratulations, and congratulatory eyes on Rommel, and Rommel thanked him one by one with his eyes.
The people attending the meeting below, except for the general leader of the SS, were all Wehrmacht generals, and Rommel was born in the pure Wehrmacht.
But Goering was not, the Wehrmacht put Goering in Hitler's group, Hitler wanted to seize the power of the Wehrmacht generals, and Goering was also grabbing power everywhere.
Under such circumstances, the Wehrmacht generals below certainly preferred Rommel to sit on the rostrum rather than Goering's dead fat man.
After leading everyone to sit down, the staff officers immediately distributed a document on the "Barbarossa Plan" to everyone, and the first half hour was to read the "Barbarossa Plan" and wait for the senior German generals attending the meeting to read the "Barbarossa Plan" before expressing their opinions.
Everyone began to look carefully at this top-secret strategic plan, which was a matter of life and death for Germany, and everyone's expressions were very serious, no one spoke, no one discussed.
Rommel, of course, knew about the Barbarossa Plan, and there was nothing wrong with the design of this strategic offensive plan in the early stage.
But in the direction of the attack on Moscow and Stalingrad, there were serious disagreements between Hitler and the top of the Wehrmacht.
The Wehrmacht generals believed that they should attack Moscow directly, while Hitler believed that Ukraine and the Baltic region should be seized before turning to Moscow.
Hitler considered Moscow "unimportant", and he believed that the focus should be on the elimination of the main forces of the Red Army west of Moscow and the seizure of resources.
Rommel saw this strategic plan very quickly, and Rommel really wanted to persuade Hitler to abandon his stubborn views and accept the demand of the Wehrmacht generals to attack Moscow directly.
But Rommel knew that it was impossible for Hitler to change his mind, and his persuasion was useless, but only aroused Hitler's suspicion.
What to do? Rommel came up with a side-knock solution.
