Chapter 271: Crushing the Conspiracy (Part II)
By half-past eight, there was still no anomaly in front of the Empire State Building, which showed that Himmler's movement in the Empire State Building was smooth and there were no mistakes, so Rommel started the car and drove towards the gate of the Empire State Building.
"Stop, please have an accident ID."
Rommel stopped the car, took out his papers, and handed them to the SS officer on duty.
"Hi Hitler, it turned out to be Field Marshal Rommel, your performance on the battlefields of North Africa is so good, you have now become the god of war of the Third Reich."
"Hi Hitler, Mr. Major, you've won the prize, I'll have tea later."
"Thank you, Marshal Langmo, it's my honor to be invited by you, I'm afraid I'm not available on duty today, it's better another day."
"As you wish, Mr. Major."
Rommel drove the car into the Empire State Building, and after getting out of the car, he went straight to the military conference room on the second floor of the Empire State Building.
At this time, there was no change in the interior of the Reich State Building, and the guard force was not significantly enhanced, everything was the same as usual, there was no change, seeing this, Rommel was very satisfied with Himmler's methods as the leader of the SS, Himmler may not be able to lead the troops to fight, but if he engages in some political conspiracy, it will definitely not lose to anyone.
Along the way, Rommel would meet public officials at all levels of military rank and government from time to time, and it was the soldiers who fought and saluted each other, not all nodding and smiling.
When Rommel walked up to the second floor, he met Dietrich when he was at the door of the civil hall before he reached the military conference room.
Dietrich was very excited when he saw Rommel - it could be seen from his eyes that Dietrich was trying to suppress his emotions, after all, Dietrich was not engaged in intelligence work, and he wanted to hide his true thoughts and not let him hang on his face with some difficulty.
"Dietrich, I'm really happy to see you again, and you've had a great year."
"It turned out to be Long Shuai, you are now a famous figure in Germany, and the German newspapers call you the "Imperial God of War", come and tell me about your war in North Africa, and I can learn some experience. ”
As soon as Dietrich finished speaking, he came up and took Rommel's hand, and without Rommel's refusal, he went directly into the civil hall next to him, and then quickly closed the door.
Rommel was just about to speak, when he looked up, he smiled, and in the civil hall of several hundred square meters, there was a large group of heavily armed German SS soldiers, about a battalion of troops, and Rommel was relieved, it seems that Himmler really persuaded Dietrich with evidence.
You must know that the loyalty of these SS to the Führer is unparalleled, in later history, when Hitler committed suicide, the SS troops all over Germany still refused to surrender, still insisted on resisting, and really desperately chose to commit suicide.
There was once an SS soldier who committed suicide with the most classic last words: "Tell my father that I still love him, tell the Führer that I have done my best." ”
Dietrich, who had included Rommel in the civil hall, fixed his eyes on Rommel's eyes, asked very solemnly:
"Long Shuai, I know your close relationship with the Führer, and you will never murder the Führer, Goering's coup d'état, this matter is really earth-shattering, so I want you to tell me in person, is your evidence true?."
When Rommel saw Dietrich say this, he knew that Dietrich's mental pressure was too great, because the person Dietrich was about to arrest was an air marshal, a German army commander-in-chief and a large group of senior German officers, and it was reasonable for him to ask Rommel to understand. Rommel hurriedly raised his hand, faced the sky, and swore very seriously:
"I, Rommel, swear to God Almighty that what I say and the evidence I provide is absolutely true, otherwise I am willing to suffer all kinds of punishment from God and go through endless suffering."
Dietrich let out a long sigh, stretched out his hands, took Rommel's hand tightly, and said very emotionally:
"Thank you for your contribution to Germany, Germany needs the Führer, all for Germany." After Dietrich had finished speaking, he took out a list from his pocket of goodwill, walked briskly to the podium, and began to read the order:
"Distinguished soldiers and officers, we in Germany are now in the midst of a great conspiracy to overthrow the great Führer, and our most faithful mission as the Nazi SS Guards is to resolutely defend our greatest Führer, and we must not allow those conspirators to succeed, this is our great, glorious and sacred mission.
I now announce the list of arrests:
Air Marshal Goering, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, General Wemberuccize, former Chief of Staff General Wembeck, then Chief of Staff General Herda, Berlin General Wezliben, Potsdam General Berukdorf and Quartermaster General, Berlin Police Chief.
My comrades-in-arms, Germany needs your loyalty, the Führer needs your loyalty, act, my comrades-in-arms, let the conspirators tremble under our iron hooves! If someone is arrested, I authorize you to shoot!!
Captain of the SS Flag Guard: Dietrich"
As soon as Dietrich finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the German SS soldiers in the civil hall, led by officers at all levels, quickly ran out of the civil hall, which was less than fifty meters away from the military conference room, and arrived in the blink of an eye.
"Bumping" a large group of SS soldiers, slammed open the door of the military conference room, rushed in with lightning speed, and began to arrest the list of people in an orderly manner.
"What are you doing, I'm Luftwaffe Field Marshal Goering, if you dare to arrest me, I'm going to shoot you soldiers."
"I am the commander-in-chief of the German army, and I order you to get out of the military conference room at once."
…… The rebuke of these people had no effect, and in this case, even if they had pistols, they were of no use, and countless black holes were pointed at their heads, and if they really dared to draw their guns, it would be death.
What's more, you can't bring a gun when you enter the Empire State Building, and even Rommel consciously entered the Empire State Building without any weapons.
Rommel lit a cigarette imported from China outside the military conference room, this taste was just right for Rommel, foreign smoke was too spicy for Rommel to smoke, while taking a beautiful puff of cigarette, while listening to the movement inside, waiting for the noise to subside, Rommel slowly entered the military conference hall.
"Good morning, gentlemen, I'm back."
Rommel smiled as he walked to the generals and marshals who were tied up into rice dumplings, as if "I, Hu Hansan, have come back again." ”
"Bah, you rascal, ruffian, why don't you go to hell."
Goering's thick phlegm came at Rommel, but fortunately it was narrowly flashed by Rommel, otherwise it would have been embarrassing. (To be continued.) )
