Chapter 521: The War Ends
readx;
If before the atomic bombing, the Germans in Berlin still had the confidence to resist, then when the atomic bomb exploded on the edge of Berlin, accompanied by a mushroom cloud gradually rising from the ground, the Germans' confidence was also shattered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, the confidence to resist is gone, but the idea of martyrdom has increased a lot. After all, when the Chinese and Russian coalition forces have arrived under the city of Berlin, and the troops of Britain, the United States, France, the Netherlands and other countries are not very far from Berlin, even if they are not crazy, they are still confident that they can win, even if they are not crazy, it is estimated that it will not be much better.
Therefore, after the atomic bombing, there was chaos in Berlin, but it was not very serious.
On the other hand, there are serious divisions at the top of Germany.
Some high-level leaders believe that when there is no hope for war, the people of Berlin and even Germany should not be dragged to hell together―――――― of course, these people are also included.
However, there are still some people who plan to drag everyone to hell even if they die.
Goebbels, that's it...
"I don't pity them at all, I repeat, I don't pity them at all! The Germans chose their fate. This may come as a surprise to some, but don't lie to yourself, we didn't force the Germans, it was they who gave us the power to rule, and now their little throats are going to be cut! ”
As he said this, Goebbels gestured to his throat in front of Speer.
With that, Goebbels closed the door.
On the other side of the door, Speer's face was gloomy...
However, at this time, he did not despair, because he also understood that if he really wanted to destroy Berlin, I am afraid that the Chinese outside would have dropped atomic bombs directly on Berlin's head as they did when they destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
But instead of doing so, they dropped the atomic bomb on the edge of Berlin, which shows that the Chinese did not destroy Berlin's heart.
Moreover, although the two countries are at war, they have extremely friendly diplomatic relations in the past. Therefore, the diplomatic contacts between the two countries have never been interrupted, but they have remained in a very delicate state.
Although he is not the foreign minister, Speer can still get some information.
For example, after the atomic bombing, the Chinese 'justly' just demanded that Germany surrender.
Unconditional surrender...
What the Chinese can guarantee is the personal safety of the whole of Berlin and even all of Germany.
Of course. Those who are about to be condemned as war criminals. The national government has no choice.
Although even Speer himself knew very well that if he surrendered this time, Germany would probably never have a place to turn over.
But not necessarily...
The last war, due to its own heavy casualties. There was little room for the Entente, especially France, to punish Germany. Not to mention, a Versailles Treaty almost threw Germany into the eighteenth abyss.
But in the end, the Entente side still relaxed a little for Germany, especially the United States, which became one of the biggest reasons for Germany's revival again. And the purpose of doing this is because of the emergence of Russia...
It is precisely because of the emergence of a Russia that poses a threat to the capitalist world. Therefore, Britain, France and the United States, the opponents of Germany, were willing to loosen the chains that were originally tightened.
And this time, not only Russia but also a more terrible China has appeared, so Speer will not be surprised if the United States and Britain and other countries relax their punishment of Germany.
On the other hand, however, it is also possible to increase the punishment of Germany and make it completely impossible for Germany to turn over.
The reason is simple, last time it was precisely because in order to obtain a partner who could fight against Soviet Russia, the chains that were originally tied to Germany were loosened. It was this that enabled Germany to gain the power to ignite the Second World War.
If this time we loosen the chains and lighten the punishment of Germany for this, who knows if this will become the trigger for World War III? In this case, it is better to shoot a brick to death.
"If that's the case, then Germany's situation is really worrying..."
Think so. After leaving Goebbels' room, Speer decided to persuade Hitler.
As we all know, as Hitler's faithful assistant, Goebbels never disobeyed any of Hitler's orders. Equally. As the Führer of Germany, Hitler had spoken the same thing inside Germany, at least so far.
But. It was not easy to get Hitler to decide to surrender.
Speer is well aware of this.
After all, having followed Hitler for many years, Speer knew quite well how stubborn Hitler really was.
But Speer had to give it a try anyway, because the fate of the whole Berlin was at stake.
"No matter what, succeed..."
With that in mind, Speer walked in the direction of Hitler's room.
However, as soon as he reached the door of Hitler's room, Speer could already hear loud quarrels and roars.
"The enemy could attack Berlin at any time, and after the Chinese detonated the atomic bomb, the morale of the troops inside the city also fell sharply. If the Chinese launch an attack on Berlin at this time, I'm afraid ..."
"If Steiner attacks, everything will be fine."
When he said this, Hitler's tone was quite steady.
But at this time, Kleebs hesitated.
"But...... Führer Steiner"
"Steiner didn't have enough troops to attack."
Yodel on the side said what Klebs didn't say.
Hearing this, Hitler did not say anything, but took off his glasses with a slight tremble.
"Keitel, Yodel, Krebs and Burgdorf stayed"
Hearing Hitler say this, the others left the room very consciously and closed the door.
It wasn't until everyone else had left that Hitler roared.
"That's an order! Steiner's attack is an order! How can you ignore my commands? Has it come to this? All the troops are deceiving me, even the SS, these generals are disloyal and unrighteous cowards! ”
Hearing Hitler say this, Burgdorf defended.
"Führer, you must not insult the military!"
"Coward, traitor, rice bucket!"
"Führer, this is too much!"
"These generals are the scum of the German people and have no sense of honor. Call yourself a general, spent several years in a military school, only learned how to eat with a knife and fork! For many years, the army has only obstructed my movements, and all they have done is pull me back. I should have put all the senior officers to death a long time ago. Just like Stalin! I never went to an academy, but I conquered all of Europe on my own. Traitor, I was deceived from the beginning! An unforgivable betrayal of the German people! But all traitors will pay back, and with their own blood they will drown in a pool of their own blood! ”
"All orders are taken as wind in the ear. I can't lead it either, it's over. ”
It wasn't until this point that Hitler buried his face between his palms, as if he had vented everything.
"The war was lost...... But if you think that means I'm leaving Berlin, you're very wrong. I'd rather shoot myself in the head. ”
Looking at the current Hitler, the generals in the room also seemed to understand something. They did not bother Hitler, but came out of the room one by one.
"How is the Führer's mood?"
Looking at the group of generals who seemed to have lost a battle, Speer asked softly.
"How?"
One of the generals with the rank of major general smiled bitterly.
"You should have heard it just now..."
Although they were often roared at by Hitler in the past, it is clear that today is the worst, so almost everyone is dead-faced.
Hearing their words, Speer nodded as well.
Although he knew that now was not the best time to go in, in the end, Speer thought about it and said to Otto, who was standing in front of the door of the room. Kyo House.
Otto? Kyshe was born in Jena on 24 September 1917. In 1931 he joined the Hitler Youth, and in 1934 he joined the SS "Adolf? Hitler's "Banner Guard." He joined the National Socialist Party in 1935.From 1936 he was the leader of Hitler's escort squad, in 1941-42 he studied at the Bad Terz Junker School and sent to the front, and from January to August 1943 he served as Hitler's temporary personal adjutant. Hitler's Panzer Divisions of the Banner Guards went to the front. He served as a company commander, returned to Hitler's personal adjutant in February 1944, captained the SS flag in 1944, and was a Soviet prisoner from 2 May 1945.
Otto? Kyosha, as a 2-meter-tall adjutant, often brings pressure to people. It has a deterrent effect. When France was defeated and signed the armistice, Hitler once had him stand at the door of the train where the agreement was signed with a pistol. "If the French dare to act disrespectfully, shoot". In the film "The Destruction of the Empire", Otto? Kyosha has also appeared several times. The tall, thin, sturdy and handsome Führer's lieutenant was him. He and another Hitler aide-de-camp, Heinz? Ringer was tasked with burning Hitler and his wife, Eva, after Hitler shot himself? Braun's body.
It should also be noted that Otto? Kyosha was one of the Nazis for the longest time.
Otto in 1945? After being captured by the Soviets and becoming a prisoner, he was sentenced to 25 years of penal labor in 1950 and extradited to the GDR in 1955. He did not die until 2 October 2003 in Lomar, near Bonn.
At his age of more than 80, he is quite remarkable.
Of course, being able to live so long has something to do with the fact that he is not an important person. But even so, as Hitler's aide-de-camp, Otto? After being arrested and imprisoned, Kyosha was still subjected to many punishments by the Russians.
Of course, Otto at this moment? The Kyosha had not yet been captured by the Russians, but even so, the setbacks of the past few days still made Otto? Kyosha's originally confident expression became a little haggard. This became even more obvious after the Chinese detonated an atomic bomb.
"Please inform, I would like to meet with the Führer..."
"This..."
Looking at Speer, Otto? Kyosha looked a little embarrassed.
To Speer, Otto? Naturally, Kyosha knew quite well, and he knew very well that Hitler didn't value much in the whole of Germany, but the Speer in front of him was definitely one of them.
But not long ago, Hitler had just lost his temper, and it was obviously not a good idea to let Speer in at this time.
Just looking at Speer's expression, in the end Otto? Kyosha nodded anyway. Then he turned and knocked on the door.
"Führer, Mr. Speer would like to see you..."
When you say that, Otto? Kyosha also seemed a little worried, for fear that Hitler's roar would be heard from inside after a while.
Fortunately, this situation did not arise, and it didn't take long. Then came Hitler's voice.
"Let him in..."
"Yes!"
Otto? Kyosha exhaled. Then he said to Speer.
"Please come in..."
Speaking of Otto? Kyosha opened the door to the room and watched Speer walk inside.
Upon entering Hitler's room, Speer saw Hitler still seated.
Perhaps it was all vented, and Hitler's expression was obviously a little more relaxed at this moment.
However, looking at Hitler's face, which was obviously much older than it was a few years ago. I don't know why Speer suddenly had a lot of feelings.
You must know that Hitler was only in his 50s at this time, but he looked much older than when he occupied France a few years ago, like a dying old man...
Looking at such a Hitler, Speer did not know what to say.
However, while Speer was still there, Hitler seemed to know what he was coming from.
"Speer...... Sit down..."
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Two days later. Accompanied by a gunshot, news came from Berlin that Hitler had committed suicide and Goebbels had succeeded him. However, Goebbels still rejected the unconditional surrender proposed by China and the Allies.
So not long after, Goebbels also committed suicide.
Unlike Hitler, however, the Goebbels had their six children poisoned before committing suicide together. Of course, there are also those who claim that Goebbels shot and killed his wife and then committed suicide, which was chosen for the subsequent destruction of the empire.
Leaving aside for the moment which historical truth is that accompanied Goebbels' death. The obstacle to Germany's surrender was finally gone.
Not long after the suicides of Hitler and Goebbels, Dönitz began to make contact with China and the Allies.
It should be said that Dönitz was the real successor of Hitler, after Hitler's suicide, according to his last words. Hitler put Hermann? Goering and Heinrich? Himmler expelled the Nazi Party, removed them from all power, and appointed Dönitz as his successor, as President of the Reich Confederation and Supreme Commander of the German Armed Forces. Goebbels became head of government and chancellor of Germany.
Hitler thought. The German Army, Air Force, and SS did not carry out Hitler's orders to attack) all betrayed him. Only the Navy can be trusted.
And after Goebbels' suicide, Dönitz became the only representative of the Third Reich, which was about to collapse.
Because Dönitz had also been to China, and like famous generals such as Manstein and Guderian, he also had close contact with some Chinese generals. So when Dönitz began to make contact with China, he was courteous to the Wehrmacht generals.
After all, no matter whether they have fought or not, there is still a private friendship between each other.
But about unconditional surrender or something...
Ahem...
Although Cai Yi and others are very sympathetic to Dönitz's plight, especially to Germany's plight, after all, it has been defeated twice in a row, and it is already very difficult for Germany to rise again.
However, unconditional surrender is not something they can decide after all, and even so, Beijing still gave them an order. That was to ask them to enter Berlin as far as possible ahead of the Allies.
The Allies may have understood the benefits of entering Berlin first, but the Commune government was no worse than them.
Dönitz also knew about this, and he wanted to use it to blackmail something.
It's a pity that after Hitler's death, the Berlin defenders, who were almost destroyed by the atomic bomb, have completely collapsed at this moment. If the allied forces outside the city really entered Berlin, I am afraid that the whole of Berlin could be completely occupied in one day.
So in the process of negotiations. Dönitz had already allowed some of the Wehrmacht troops to enter the city first. And to say this, in fact, already represents Dönitz's willingness to accept unconditional surrender.
There is no way to do it, after all, at this moment, unconditional surrender is already the only outcome that Germany can choose.
As for other results, it's not that they don't want to, but it's a pity that they don't have the strength.
And after receiving permission, a part of the troops can be sent into the city. Cai Ye soon drew an extremely capable army. The first step into the city was held, and a ceremony was held in Berlin, which was already in ruins.
Of course, at this time, Cai Ye also sent an invitation to the Russians, but asked the Russians to enter the city behind the squadron, after all, this war can only be won by China. Especially Russia. If it weren't for China's support, I am afraid that Russia would have perished as early as Barbarossa's time because of the German capture of Moscow―――――― although the Germans were able to invade Moscow because of China's relations.
Although the Russians were very unwilling to do so, they also raised objections, and even wanted to delay China on this issue for a while. Wait until the Allied forces reach Berlin. But it's a pity that Cai Ye doesn't eat this set at all.
Seeing that the Russians had evil intentions, they simply did not invite Russia directly, but planned to enter the city first.
At this point, the Russians had no choice but to agree to Cai's invitation.
After all, it's much better to be able to enter the city than not to be able to enter.
If the two countries enter together, even if they are divided into newspapers, they can publicize that they will enter together, but if they really want the Chinese to enter by themselves, and the Russians are blocked out. Then it is useless for the Russians to have a thousand theories.
You know, at this time, Stalin's position was still somewhat unstable, and it was the time when good news was most needed. So if you can really enter the city with the Chinese, then it will be a good help for Stalin himself.
But if you really have to wait outside Berlin for the Allies to arrive, then in this time. Those who oppose Stalin and already have a lot of strength are probably going to take advantage of the topic.
So although he didn't want to, in the end Stalin could only nod his head in agreement.
Soon after, news came that Germany was willing to surrender unconditionally.
Of course. The ceremony of surrender will not begin until several other countries arrive, after all, China is not the only country contributing to this war. The rest of the countries also contributed a lot.
Especially France, you must know that it was once the largest army power in Europe, and it also resisted for more than a month at the beginning of World War II←_←.
But even so, a photo of the squadron entering the city spread all over the world along with the news...
――――――――――――――――――――
The news of Germany's surrender soon reached Japan, and seeing that the last hope had already surrendered, Japan was in complete despair.
Therefore, only a few days after the surrender of Germany, after a series of discussions, the Japanese government finally decided to surrender.
Of course, just like Germany, it was an unconditional surrender.
On the other hand, after Japan announced its surrender, it was listed as Japan's number one war criminal by China, the United States, Britain and Russia, and was ranked at the top of the first batch of Class-A war criminal wanted lists. He also used the Walther automatic pistol that Hitler gave him back then, and learned to shoot in the heart like the person who gave him the gun.
In fact, a few days before Japan's surrender, Hideki Tojo, who had already learned the news, had his personal doctor draw a circle the size of a wine glass with charcoal on the heart of his chest.
The reason why the private doctor was allowed to do this was because Hideki Tojo had been placed under house arrest at the time, and it was the Japanese government who did it. The reason why this is so is because they are afraid that Hideki Tojo will commit suicide.
You must know that Hideki Tojo is the number one person among the Japanese war criminals, and he will be handed over to China and the Allies in the future. If he hangs up first, then it will be difficult for the Japanese government to explain in the future―――――― don't look at Japan's usual special ferocity, but it is famous for bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.
Especially at this time, the Japanese government is even weaker and unimaginably weak.
Therefore, the act of handing over Tojo in its entirety and inviting pets with this is also done.
And it is precisely for this reason that Hideki Tojo will let his personal doctor help him commit suicide. Unfortunately, due to Hideki Tojo's left-handedness and heart malformation, the bullet missed, and it only pierced the lung.
By the time the Navy soldiers guarding Hideki Tojo burst into the room, Tojo was on the verge of death.
Fortunately, in the end, Hideki Tojo was able to save him, so after a blood transfusion, Hideki Tojo finally came back to life. After being revived, Tojo said he shot himself in the heart so that "others could see his face and know that he was dead."
However, for his suicide attempt, the Japanese people believe that it is "just the last shame for the man who has lost his credibility and has been abandoned."
In any case, there is no doubt that Japan was defeated.
And after the defeat of Japan and Germany one after another, the Axis powers were also completely defeated.
In fact, there were still many Axis powers alive at this time in history, for example, Thailand was a member of the Axis powers in history, but the Allies did not pursue it later.
However, in this era, because Thailand was pushed away by the national government early, there was no historical situation on the Thai side. After the surrender of the Japanese government, the Thai government, which was originally in exile, as well as the Indian government and other miscellaneous governments, were all handed over by the Japanese.
Although it is somewhat indecent to hand over one's former allies, Japan can no longer control them when Japan has been defeated. After all, they are now in the house, and they themselves are also difficult to protect, so how can they manage others?
After the surrender of Germany and Japan, some of the remaining Axis powers also surrendered.
Let's say Italy, Italy and Italy...
Unlike in history, in history Benito? Mussolini and members of the government of the Republic fled to Milan on the night of 25 April 1945 after rejecting the surrender order put forward by the Italian National Liberation Committee. Upper Italian National Liberation Committee by Victor? King Emnuel was governed by his headquarters in Rome and was responsible for directing and uniting the anti-fascist movement in the north.
But Mussolini was captured by the guerrillas on April 27 on his way to Valtellina in the Alpine Valley, where he had planned to await the arrival of the Americans. The actions of the National Liberation Committee of Upper Italy violated the obligations of the King and the Roman Government under the terms of the armistice agreement of 8 September 1943 with the Central Powers.
The terms demanded Mussolini's surrender to the Central Powers. But the National Liberation Council of Upper Italy decided to shoot Mussolini and his men immediately, and planned to do so on the afternoon of 28 April in a village on the shores of Lake Como, where they were being held.
However, on the afternoon of April 28, 1945, when the "executioners" arrived there, they found that someone had already done the job for them. Mussolini and his mistress Clara? Besita had already been executed by the partisans in the early hours of the same day. Their bodies were then transported to Milan on 29 April and hung upside down from the top of a petrol station in Piazza Loreto.
Historically, Hitler died on April 30, while Mussolini died on April 28, in other words, Hitler lived two days longer than Mussolini. But in this era, Mussolini lived longer than Hitler, and for Mussolini in this era, it may be considered to be earned...
But after all, Italy did a lot of laughing fun in World War II, and this is a reward...
In any case, this war that has lasted for so many years is finally over...
