Chapter Two Thousand and Sixty-One: Restless Waiting

The night is getting darker and darker, the howling northwest wind rolls up the sand and dust on the ground, beats on the windows, "rustles", and in the sky, a layer of dark clouds rises, gradually covering a few flickering cold stars, if nothing else, tomorrow will be a heavy snowstorm coming.

At this moment, Tang Qiuli's heart is restless, although he knows that things will happen, but the nervousness and anxiety when waiting makes him unable to calm down, it is almost eleven o'clock in the middle of the night on April 9, Hitler has not yet sent a telegram, even Tang Qiuli, whose mind is as solid as a rock, is gradually uneasy, in the stove in the house, the cow dung fire is flashing with a beating flame, and the temperature is dry and hot.

Tang Qiuli retracted his gaze to the sky, ripped off the collar of his military uniform, picked up a cup of herbal tea on the table, drank it all, the cool and milky tea flowed smoothly into his stomach, and he exhaled heavily, as if the heat in his heart had dissipated a lot, "Wait another hour, if it is twelve o'clock in the night, Hitler has not sent a telegram to inform himself, that is, the German army has attacked the Soviet Union, there has been an unexpected change, the battle of Seyinshanda, it needs to be rearranged!" He thought to himself.

On the night of April 9, the Reichstag in Berlin, Germany, was as calm as ever, only a few rooms were still lit, and the SS sentries at the gate paced leisurely, looking up from time to time at the brightly lit room, which was the office of the great Führer.

In Hitler's office, several giants of the Nazi German party, government, and army gathered, with the German Führer Hitler sitting in the center, and the chief of the German General Staff, von Hitler, the chief of the German army's general staff. Field Marshal Strongs, First Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, Admiral Gary Bardi, Commander of the Navy, Admiral Dönitz, Gestapo Chieftapo Himmler, Gestapo Deputy Chieftapo and Head of the German Secret Police Heinrich, SS National Deputy Commander-in-Chief Paul? Admiral Schulenburg. Dr. Goebbels, head of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Nazi Party, was present.

Eight people in the office, with a gesture or a few words, can decide the fate of Germany, Chief of the General Staff von ? Field Marshal Strongs, who was reporting to the Führer on the military deployment on the Soviet-Polish border.

"My Führer, as of eleven o'clock this evening, all military preparations for an attack on the Soviet Union are ready, our troops. On the side of the Polish border, stand ready to attack at any time, just wait for your order from the Führer! "Feng? Field Marshal Strongs concluded the debriefing and said.

Hitler appeared very excited. Stand up and be on the red carpet inside the office. Hurried back and forth. With a sharp and sharp voice, waving his arms, he said, "Gentlemen, you know, I have waited many years for this great moment. I can't wait, Strongs, and when the offensive is launched, I ask our troops. The Russians must be cleanly, completely and completely destroyed! ”

"Those ugly Russian gorillas do not deserve to own the contours of the land, and the mission of our Third German Reich is to completely erase them from this earth, leaving no trace behind, and the exciting moment is coming! Fight! Be brave and fight! ”

Hitler's face, flushed with sickness, his eyes shining, probably a little tired, he sat back in his chair, took a sip of Chinese green tea, and Himmler, the head of the Gestapo, asked: "Himmler, the Russians, is there any unusual reaction?" ”

Himmler stood up respectfully and replied: "My Führer, on the Russian side of the entire Polish-Soviet border, there have been no unusual moves, the deployment of Russian forces on the border line has not been adjusted in any form, according to our intelligence, Stalin's attention is focused on the East, more than six million Russian troops, most of them are besieging the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Russian Far East, of which more than one million troops are used to attack the troops of Vice Chairman Tang of China, before that, there have been two small battles between the two sides!" ”

Hitler laughed loudly, laughed proudly, at this moment, the German Führer who swept across the European continent, was undoubtedly in the most comfortable mood, the German army's campaign attempt was unprecedentedly successful, with more than 6 million troops, a large number of weapons and equipment, more than 5,000 combat aircraft, and more than 4,500 tanks, showing troops on the Polish side of the border between Poland and the Soviet Union, which did not arouse the slightest alarm of the Russians.

Moreover, the main forces of the Russian army were trapped in the eastern theater, and Hitlergan assured that within a month of the start of the German offensive, he would not encounter strong resistance from the Russian army, which was the most favorable condition for speeding up the end of the war, and he thanked the old Chinese friend Tang Qiuli.

Hitler said with emotion on his face: "Himmler, the work of your intelligence department is very good, very good!" Stalin transferred the Russian army in the direction of Europe to the East, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I hope you don't forget it, this opportunity is my old friend Tang Qiuli Chuangzào, if it weren't for his heavy damage to the Russian army in Outer Mongolia, Stalin would not have paid attention to the East! ”

When Hitler said these words, his tone was absolutely sincere, not only himself, but also other German party, government and military bigwigs present, especially the chief of the General Staff von Brown, who was also a soldier. Field Marshal Strongs, First Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, Admiral Gary Bardi, and Admiral Dönitz, Commander of the Navy, were even more profound.

Every time they saw the contents of the top-secret text about the Eastern Battlefield forwarded by the General Staff, several people were amazed, and they could not understand how the Chinese Vice Chairman of the Tang Dynasty, who had conquered the hearts of all the Germans, annihilated a Russian army group in a single battle among millions of Russian troops with an absolutely inferior force, and they attributed it to the wisdom of the East!

Hitler then asked: "Himmler, what is the situation in the Russian theater of war in the east, especially the troops of my old friends, who are under fierce attack by the Russian army?" ”

Himmler shrugged his shoulders and said with some incredulity: "My Führer, the situation on the battlefield in the east is not as you imagined, since in the Minusinsk region west of the Ural Mountains, Vice Chairman Tang's troops, among millions of Russian troops, completely annihilated the strength of a Russian army group in three days, there has been no other fighting, and now, the focus of the battle on both sides is gathered on the first line of the Saiyinshanda in the south of the Outer Mongolia region!" ”

"General Vasilevsky, commander of the Russian Outer Mongolian Front, commanded more than one million troops, pressing towards the Seyinshanda area, and the decisive battle will be launched here, however, according to the information we have obtained, the advance of the Russian army is very unsmooth, the Russian army has been heavily bombed by Chinese aircraft, so far, the troops of the two sides have not officially exchanged fire, and it is expected that in another day and a half, the advance of the Russian army will reach Seyinshanda!"

Hitler listened very intently to Himmler's introduction and interjected: "I knew that my old friend would not let those Russians take advantage, he had the ability!" - Absolutely, he is the most militarily talented general I have ever met, the rhythm of the battlefield, under his control, God, what a delicate deployment, jealous of the distance of the battlefield, a day and a half, the deadline for our upcoming attack on Russia, he knows that I will not break my promise! ”

"Himmler, is there anything else?" Hitler sent a message of emotion and then asked.

Himmler opened another folder and said: "My Führer, the next information is about our ally the Japanese, General Zhukov of the Russian Far Eastern Front, commanding more than 4 million troops, encircling more than 1.8 million people of the Japanese Kwantung Army in a narrow plain area in the Far East, and at present, the situation of the Kwantung Army is precarious...... He was about to go on, but was rudely interrupted by Hitler.

"Himmler, enough is enough, I don't want to hear about the Japanese, those fishermen who are only worthy of fishing by the sea, their role is minimal, compared to my old friend, the Japanese are really disappointing, more than 1.8 million people are surrounded, oh God! What a bunch of idiots are commanding the troops, the Japanese should not provoke a war with the Americans and the British in the Southwest Pacific! God knows, what a stupid decision! ”

"They should abide by the agreement between us and devote all their forces to the north! - Heading north! Attacking the Russians, flanking Russia with us, instead of putting most of their forces on the Southwest Pacific Theater, the current predicament is for the Japanese to blame! At the mention of the Japanese, Hitler's feelings began to stir up again, or rather, very angry.

According to the secret agreement signed between Germany and Japan, the Japanese army sent troops to the Siberian region of the Soviet Union, and then crossed the Ural Mountains and entered the European part of the Soviet Union.

This is a mutually beneficial, the best of both worlds, if the Soviet Union is destroyed, Japan and Germany, will make a lot of money, if the Japanese abide by the alliance, as early as 1940, Hitler will do something against the Soviet Union, but the head of Emperor Hirohito, who was kicked in the head by a donkey, after occupying a very small part of the Russian Far East, turned most of his forces to the southwest Pacific theater, and the Americans and the British, fighting for those small islands.

This is Hitler's evaluation after learning of the shift in Japan's strategic center of gravity, full of disappointment and feeling that he had been tricked, and since then, the Japanese have lost even the slightest trust in Hitler's mind, and even, when they hear the three words of the Japanese, they have a conditioned reflex disgust!
