Chapter 81: Discernment
"Blatantly taking bribes?"
"ON, it is the filial piety of the French celebrities to the great General Rommel."
"It's okay, but I don't necessarily stay in France! As soon as other German generals came to France to serve as governors-general, it was likely that these assets would not be preserved. ”
Emerson looked at Rommel with a pair of shining eyes, and said with a smile:
"General Rommel, you should fight for the position of French governor with all your might!"
"Fight for the position of Viceroy of France? I am only a major general now, and even if I am promoted to lieutenant general this time, I am not enough for the position of French governor! ”
Emerson was secretive:
"The Rothschilds still have a little connection on the German side, we are throwing some money at it, helping to run it, you are looking for someone to help, show loyalty to Hitler, didn't Hitler take you as a confidant?
As long as Hitler pampered you, the French governor would not be able to capture him. ”
Rommel secretly screamed in his heart, and secretly thought:
"Rothschild really lives up to his reputation, this family's intelligence system is really not blown, and they all know that he was cited by Hitler as a confidant."
"Okay, then let's work on this matter together, but I have one more request, you send an intelligence liaison officer, all Rothschild's intelligence should be shared with me, I want to share your intelligence, not to control your intelligence system."
Emerson fell silent for a moment, and after thinking for about ten minutes, he said:
"Okay, I'll send Davide, the old butler, to you, he doesn't look like a Jew, and he won't cause you any trouble, but I also have one condition, I must have a wedding with Elsa tonight."
"In such a hurry, does Elsa agree? We'd better ask Elsa for her opinion. ”
"I've already asked, Elsa fully agrees with your marriage, after all, it's time for war, everything should be simple and fast."
"Okay!"
A political marriage is negotiated, but it is a political marriage in which both men and women are satisfied with each other. Whether Rommel and Elsa will be happy and healthy in the future, respect each other like guests, and love each other, this is a later story, everyone will believe that a marriage is destined!
……
In the German Chancellery, Hitler had received a telegram from Rommel, and he actually rushed to the French capital Paris, and Rommel only took one day to break through the Weygand line built by France.
Originally, Rommel was tasked with advancing along the coast, and the 7th Panzer Division was to advance all the way to Cherbourg and completely sweep the west coast of France, but shortly after the start of the second phase of the French campaign, the 7th Panzer Division lost contact.
No matter how Army Group A called by radio, the 7th Panthoured Division seemed to have completely disappeared, which made the German top brass anxious, and everyone was wondering if the 7th Panzer Division was completely annihilated by the French, this is a whole Panzer Division, and its importance to Germany is self-evident, Germany only has 10 Panzer Divisions at this time!
Hitler was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and Rommel was a confidant and favorite general introduced by Hitler, and the appointment of Rommel as the commander of the Seventh Panzer Division was also the result of Hitler's insistence.
What now! The 7th Panzer Division was missing, no trace of the 7th Panzer Division could be found throughout the battlefield, and there was no telecommunication from the 7th Panzer Division on the radio channel.
Hitler ordered Goering to send a large number of reconnaissance planes to look for it, and of course after dawn the next day, after the 7th Panzer Division had disappeared for a whole day and a night, the 7th Panzer Division suddenly appeared again.
And he sent Hitler a telegram that surprised all the German high-brass:
“…… The 7th Panzer Division had already arrived under the city of Paris at 8 o'clock on the morning of the 6th, and placed a heavy artillery group under the city of Paris, and the French president immediately abandoned the city and fled, and ordered Paris to be an undefended city, and our division would take over Paris on this day.
The fact that the 7th Panzer Division was able to achieve such brilliant achievements is entirely due to the wise and correct command and leadership of the great Führer......"
Defense Minister Brauchitsch was shocked, War Minister Blunberg was shocked, and Führer Hitler went from anxiety to surprise and relief. Rommel was promoted by him, and Rommel's great achievements show the great Führer's discernment!
Hitler could not help but start making impassioned speeches again in front of several high-ranking leaders in Germany:
"Ladies and gentlemen, you see, this is the myth of our Germany, this is the pride of our Germany, he, General Rommel, since the beginning of the French campaign, advanced more than 600 kilometers in five days, he only used the strength of one division, remember that with only one armored division, Rommel annihilated more than 300,000 enemies, captured 200,000, and captured countless of them.
What does Rommel's impressive record mean? It shows that Germany is invincible, that my strategic planning is incomparably correct, and that all enemies will kneel outside and tremble......"
Hitler's praise of Rommel was actually touting himself, and the executives in the war room of the Chancellery had to listen to it, and they had to make a look of careful listening, and they had to make a look of great admiration on their expressions, otherwise it would be a great disrespect to the Führer.
Well, the Wehrmacht grandsons were stubborn and dull people, and although they were all listening to Hitler's speeches, few of them showed any admiration for Hitler.
This made Hitler extremely dissatisfied, and Hitler also knew that the Wehrmacht was still headed by Brauchitsch, and Hitler blamed Brauchitsch for the Wehrmacht's lack of respect for him.
In fact, the Wehrmacht is now in the hands of the traditional German aristocracy, and of course the Junkers landlords, the Junkers consortium and other traditional German forces.
No matter how strong Hitler, the civilian Führer, was, as long as he did not launch the Great Purge, as Stalin did, he would not be able to take full control of the Wehrmacht.
When Hitler can bring them benefits, or can represent their interests, they will support Hitler, and when Hitler cannot represent their interests, or damage their interests, these traditional German forces or corporations will immediately abandon Hitler.
This is determined by the profit-seeking nature of capital, which is determined by the essence of capitalists, and is not subject to human will, as has been proven by historical results.
Could Hitler have done it? Hitler was definitely a very capable head of state, first of all, Hitler's ability to govern the country.
After the First World War, the German economy withered, and the number of unemployed workers reached 6 million, and Hitler returned to the pre-war level in just ten years, and in five years, Germany completely surpassed the economic level of the First World War, and paid reparations for the defeat in the First World War.
Hitler's ability to govern the country was remarkable to the world, and no one could influence him, and the people's support for Hitler reached an unprecedented level. Germany's scientific and technological level has also advanced by leaps and bounds, and in very positive aspects, Germany's science and technology are at the forefront of the world.
But so what? At the beginning of World War II, Germany won a great victory, the German people supported Hitler, but the Wehrmacht conspired several times to overthrow Hitler, for example, when Hitler was preparing to attack Poland, the Wehrmacht was afraid that Hitler would bring disaster to Germany, so they plotted to assassinate Hitler, of course, this conspiracy was not successful, and the Polish campaign was executed.
