Chapter 329: This Is Politics
The German attitude made a series of plans for the landing in Britain previously drawn up by the Allied General Command useless.
Field Marshal Rommel, who had already served as the commander-in-chief of the German army on the Western Front, did not hesitate to fly to Berlin in person to confront the Führer face-to-face, but the result still disappointed him.
"The Führer heeded Göring's suggestion and did not allow the Grand Alliance troops to enter France on a large scale. It was a very short-sighted and even stupid decision, but, my friend, there was nothing I could do. I am not capable of changing the Führer's decision. ”
After Jiang Yunzhi received Rommel's call, a long-lost smile appeared on his black face. The upper echelons of the empire had long been aware of the change in Germany's war strategy, and Adolf's unexpected decision had long been expected for the Han army bigwigs who were qualified to enter the Weiqing Pavilion.
Rommel was able to call in person to explain, which made Jiang Yunzhi very relieved in another emotion of putting aside national interests. After gently putting down the phone, he took out the silver-white Browning M1911 on his waist, this pistol is the standard high-ranking officer gun of the Entente troops, and his original owner is Field Marshal Brooke of the British Army, who is serving as a senior adviser at the Royal Army Command College in Chang'an.
After the Second Battle of Benghazi, Field Marshal Brooke was captured by Rommel's German-Italian Afrika Korps along with the British Eighth Army, and at the surrender ceremony, the Browning M1911 was handed over to Rommel as a symbol of the surrender of command.
Later, Rommel gave this pistol, which represented glory, to his good friend and buddy, Marshal Jiang Yunzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces.
Skillfully disassembling and putting on the Browning M1911, which has many stories, Marshal Chiang only took 52 seconds. sighed softly, this speed was ten seconds slower than the 38-type automatic mobile phone of the Han Army by himself. "No matter how famous you are, it's not as good as your own family!"
The beautiful Browning M1911 was thrown in front of the guard, "Put it away, and have a chance to donate it to the Military Museum!" ”
"Yes, Chief. That...... What guns do you wear? "The young but very capable guard was a little blinded by the inexplicable actions of the marshal.
"What gun am I wearing? If I need to carry a gun every day, what else do I need you to do? ”
…… The guard looked at the commander-in-chief who was leaving with his sleeves and secretly stuck out his tongue, "The chief is not in a good mood today!" ”
That's right, Generalissimo Chiang is indeed in a bit unhappy right now. I remembered that not long after, former comrades-in-arms and good brothers were very likely to meet each other, "If this is politics?" That's really disgusting! ”
On the battlefield of the Soviet Union, after the Battle of Stalingrad cost hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides, the Soviet Red Army's defense line on the Don River was finally forced to retreat to the Volga River valley due to the loss of air supremacy and the defeat of German armored forces on the flanks. The fall of the Ukrainian granary into the hands of the Germans strengthened the Führer's conviction that the defeat of the evil Red regime, the complete subjugation of Russia, and the completion of Napoleon's unfinished great deeds were already beckoning to him.
Europe is already the Europe of the Aryans, the Europe of the German Empire! Churchill, the once arrogant British madman, also had to bow his head and surrender under the Nazi eagle flag.
Goering was right, the British, who were also of Aryan descent, were hateful, but how could the Aryans submit to other races? The landing in Britain could only be done by the Germans. The seaports of France must not be handed over to the Han army. It's just that Franco is still very uninteresting, and a Gibraltar makes him determined to hug the thigh of the Han Emperor?
The German Führer's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, "When the Russians are defeated, and when the invincible Wehrmacht and SS pull out their hands, it must be clear to these swingers who is the real king of Europe!" ”
Thinking of the secret letter sent by Churchill, the mustache's mood instantly improved again. For this old opponent who defeated the Luftwaffe in the "Battle of the Eagles", a slightly humble peace letter may have caused him to lose all his self-esteem.
After the Malta Conference, the German Führer, who had intended to support the British royal family, immediately took a 180-degree turn in attitude after receiving Churchill's secret letter. If the German ruler is still the Kaiser, then it is not known whether the Kaiser can take care of the blood relationship with the British royal family, but for Adolf, what royal family and tradition certainly do not mean anything.
Anything that stands in his way to European domination, Adolf will not hesitate to kick it out. Including people close to you.
Rommel was the commander of the Führer's Guard before he took command of the army, and the Führer always regarded him as a close confidant. Frankly speaking, the Desert Fox's achievements in Africa are largely due to the cooperation with the Grand Alliance army and the excellent logistics support of the Han army.
After the end of the African campaign, Rommel was promoted to field marshal and became commander-in-chief on the Western Front, much to the dismay of many officers who fought bloodily on the Eastern Front.
"I haven't been to the eastern battlefield of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, just driving a tank in the desert for a few laps, and then taking advantage of the powerful military power of the Han State to take the lead in battle." Many of the Wehrmacht's officers also called Rommel a soft-footed marshal or a thigh-hugging marshal behind his back.
"A general who has not been to the Eastern Front and experienced bloody battles is not qualified for promotion to marshal at all!" When the old qualifications of the Feng. When Marshal Blomberg said the same, the Führer's mind seemed to agree with such a standard.
Even when Himmler, the head of the Gestaburg, sent a top-secret message alerting a group of German officers who opposed the Nazis to attack the conference room of the "Wolf's Lair", the headquarters of the Eastern Front, and pointed the finger at some senior Wehrmacht officials, the Führer actually thought of Rommel. Goering also mentioned that Rommel was very dissatisfied with the Führer's decision to refuse the Allied use of French ports, "Playing with the Han army for so long, and relying on the logistics of the Han army to fight, may have caused the Third Reich to lose an excellent general, his face is still German, but his heart has been biased towards the Han state!" ”
If you want to add sin, there is no excuse! When Yue Fei was calculated by Qin Hui, when he was recalled by the mediocre Zhao Gou Twelve Gold Medals, and when he was trapped in the Storm Pavilion, he must not have regretted it...... I have never regretted that I am a great Song person.
Rommel was a German soldier, and some of the good qualities of a German soldier, Marshal Rommel did not lack any trace of it.
When Berlin's order came, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front did not have any doubts or hesitation, and did not even bring too many guards, so he got into a car and returned to Berlin to report on his work.
But the convoy didn't go out for long, and a swarm of British planes appeared in the sky. Rommel was pushed out of the car by the guards before the bomb hit him. Although he was still seriously wounded, the loyal guards saved the marshal's life.
But three days later, Rommel, who had just woken up after surgery, was struck the most significant blow of his illustrious life, when a team of Gestapo appeared at his bedside - accused of being an accomplice to the Führer's murder.
A month later, Adolf sent poison to Rommel and conveyed the Führer's promise that if he committed suicide by poisoning, his treason would be kept strictly secret, that he would be given a state funeral, and that his relatives would receive the full pension of the field marshal. Otherwise, they will be tried by court.
Rommel chose the former with a smile in his own residence in Herlingen, obeying the orders of the Führer, whom he had served faithfully, for the last time.
The mustache did not break his promise, and sure enough, he ordered a state funeral for Rommel, and the army veteran Field Marshal Rundstedt made a special trip back to Berlin from the Soviet Union to deliver a eulogy for him.
Even more glamorous, the Führer personally gave him a funeral, which was the only time during Adolf's administration in Germany.
Germany announced that Field Marshal Rommel was on his way back to Berlin from the front in a car when he was seriously wounded and killed by British planes.
The German Führer posthumously awarded Field Marshal Rommel the Medal of Oak Leaf and Diamond, and his exploits on the African battlefield are called immortal feats.
The German Propaganda Department arranged many special commemoration activities, and Adolf's royal pen and propaganda minister, Josef Goebbels, portrayed Rommel as a great image of the "people's marshal".
……
", a in the ass!" In the newly established Allied General Headquarters in Port Santander, Spain, Jiang Quzhi ruthlessly slammed the information on the truth of Rommel's death transferred from the Intelligence Agency on the table.
No one knew whether Marshal Chiang was scolding the German Führer for the mistaken murder of the loyal Führer, or the villain Martin Baumann, who had been falsely accused. It was Adolf's most trusted confidant, Colonel Martin Baumann of the Gestapo, who single-handedly fabricated the lie that Rommel would lead the new government after the successful assassination of the Führer.
And the reason for all this is only because Rommel held a grudge against the sycophant Bowman a few years ago.
After the Gestapo uncovered a plot to attack the "Wolf's Lair", the head of operations, Baumman, added Rommel's name to the "Imperial Secret Affairs" submission. This document meant a death sentence against Adolf's once-favorite Marshal Rommel. Although the officers who plotted to kill the dictator with a bomb had nothing to do with Rommel.
A few days after Bauman's report was issued, the two generals came to Rommel's residence in Haellingen and forced the marshal, who had been seriously wounded by a British military plane, to swallow a poison pill.
Even Adolf did not dare to go to the people's court to accuse and hang the recipient of the highest medal of honor for bravery, as he did with the "conspirators".
Considering his wife, Lucy, and his then-16-year-old son, Manfred, Rommel obeyed – and it was, of course, the last of his life.
Hitler hypocritically expressed his condolences to Rommel's widow and arranged a state funeral for Rommel. Field Marshal Gerd von Rundtedt spoke highly of it in his eulogy: "His heart belongs to the Führer. ”
What a wonderful bloody drama! Also British planes? How long has it been since British Air Force fighters flew over the European continent? How could it be so coincidental that as soon as Rommel got into the car, there were British planes dispatched?
What else is Bowman's false accusation? This is clearly Adolf's desire to take Rommel's life. The false accusation is nothing more than a follow-up kill move that the air raid did not succeed in.
Jiang Yunzhi was forcing himself to calm down, and His Majesty was right: Rommel's death was good news for Adolf, because the threat from within was gone, and his rule was firmer; And for the Han Imperial Army, it was also good news, because one of the most terrible opponents in the camp of potential opponents was wiped out by their own people, which may not be possible for a million Han troops in the future.
But Jiang Yunzhi found that he couldn't calm down no matter what, and it was the fate of a soldier to fight on the battlefield and shroud in horse leather. But the bird is hidden......
"Is this all politics? Is there no family, friendship, cold-blooded and disgusting politics? ”
