Chapter 1231 1232 Unforgettable
"Lizheng!" On the docks of Alexandria, Africa, a German officer shouted at the guard of honor as he walked down the suspension stairs. Dressed in SS gown, he held his chin high and struck with the most confident stance as he stood facing Accardo and holding his command knife in front of him.
"Long live Führer Accardo, Rudolph!" stood on the dock with three rows of honor guards armed with Mauser rifles, all of whom saluted and shouted to their Führer with steel guns in their hands when they saw Accardo. The shouts spread out to the surface of the Mediterranean, and faded away with the gentle wind.
"Führer...... It's my second home and I'm glad I can come back again. "Rommel, as Field Marshal, was the second person to follow Accardo down the ladder, wearing a field marshal's gown, a decent white glove, and a marshal's scepter, a symbol of his power and glory.
Compared to when he fought in North Africa, Rommel was slightly fatter and looked younger. He followed Accardo down the ladder and waved to his old acquaintances who had come to greet him on the docks.
Standing on the dock, General Frederick raised his right hand and saluted to Führer Accardo, who, as the Supreme Governor of the Third Reich in Egypt a few months earlier, was in charge of the entire Third Reich's control zone in North Africa and all the armies. The general, who once accompanied Rommel on his expeditions in North Africa, is now one of the most powerful men in North Africa.
"My Führer, although I know the transport documents concerning the 'Teutonic Knights', I really did not expect that you would come to North Africa to see the secret weapon experiments yourself...... I was in such a hurry when I received the order that I didn't even have time to read the regulations for you. Frederick saw Accardo's return salute and hurriedly explained.
The specifications of the reception were so shabby, except for the temporary mobilization of SS soldiers stationed near the pier and a temporary cameo appearance in the honor guard, General Frederick did not even have time to prepare for the red carpet, and found himself standing on the pier, waiting for the Führer's cruise ship to dock.
The plan of action was so secret that many local officials did not receive news of the Führer's departure to Africa. If it weren't for the smile on Acardo's face now, even General Frederick would have thought that he had neglected the Führer's itinerary because of his haste.
"My general, I'm glad to be able to shake your hand where you've fought. Accardo held out his hand, and it was in touch with Frederick's hand. He had a warm smile on his face and spoke in a very soft voice: "It's really a pleasure to meet the warriors who fought for me. ”
"Remember him?" said the Führer, who paused, and then turned around, and among the countless men who accompanied him, he suddenly found Montgomery in a uniform without rank, and asked General Frederick, "You are here to fight for your country, and now I and I are standing here, but we are working for the peace of the world...... That's a good start, isn't it?"
"General Montgomery...... It's a pleasure to see you again in Alexandria. General Frederick held out his palm to an embarrassed Montgomery, smiled and shook his hand. The accompanying reporters did not waste this moment, they pressed the shutter and recorded this rare moment.
The Führer was followed by Field Marshal Rommel and SS leader Reinhardt Heydrich, as well as an Italian envoy and Marshal Garibaldi's brother. And, of course, with the Chinese envoys, Mr. and Ms. Chen, and the foreign minister of the Vichy government of France.
In line with the principle that no eggs can be put in the same basket, Field Marshal Brauchitsch, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, and other heads of state will be flown to Alexandria airport in an hour's time.
"Woo!" the escorting destroyer blew a long whistle and began to turn slowly. The fighters of the escort also landed at a nearby airfield when everything was in order. Escorting the Führer was definitely not a matter that could be done sloppily, and when the Italian got on board, even the scene was completely occupied by the SS, leaving half a welcoming place for the Italians at all.
"Inform General Vercumman that he should come to Cairo to meet me. After a faint command to Frederick, Accardo walked to the other end of the dock, waiting for the car there, with his hands behind his back and under the eager gaze of the guard of honor. Several SS soldiers had already inspected the car in which Accardo was to ride, not even the smallest corners.
In order to shock more allies with this secret weapon, that is, the experiment of German nuclear weapons, and promote the process of European integration, and make the current situation clear to those who still have the mentality of riding the wall. Accardo decided to let the world know as much as possible that Germany already had the power to change the course of the war.
"Long live Führer Accardo, Rudolph!" As Accardo got into the car, all the people who greeted him once again raised their arms, and the dock looked like a dense forest. These soldiers and officers were Accardo's most loyal supporters, and they were even willing to die for the Führer.
As the car passed through the street, the buildings at both ends were being rebuilt, some of the less collapsed buildings were riddled with bullet holes, and some of the shattered glass was still covered with fabric. Locals watched the convoy passing by on both sides of the road with bewildered eyes, and the patrolling German soldiers also stood there, smoking cigarettes to make way for the cars in which the bigwigs were riding.
Some of the leading non-commissioned officers would salute the car, but most of the soldiers would just look curiously at the cars passing by them. They did not receive news of the Führer's arrival in Alexandria, and they did not know that in the car passing by them sat the Führer Accardo, whom they had praised or insulted countless times over the clock.
All the little people at the grassroots level are the most realistic and fickle, they can get a supply of canned meat, they can draw a cross on their chests and praise Accardo as a god or god, they can also call the Führer who mobilized them into battle a devil because they were suppressed by enemy fire on the battlefield and surrounded by enemy bullets - it all depends on their mood, and it is very timely.
Accardo sat in the car, swaying slightly as the ground undulated. Compared to the flat roads of Berlin and the magnificent buildings on both sides of the streets, it is clear that there are many places in the world that can only be described as poor and destitute. The buildings on Wilhelm Street have been built dozens of stories into the sky, and the tallest buildings are still mottled with bullet holes in the yellow sands of Africa, and the blood on the walls has not even been wiped clean.
Two local children stood at the edge of the narrow intersection, raising their arms at the passing convoy with immature faces. With playful expressions, they imitated the German army's German salute until they were angrily carried away by their parents and left the dangerous streets.
On some conspicuous buildings, the national flag of Germany is hung, the bright red flag is slightly shaking in the wind, and the black swastika is clear and solemn in the white circle. These flags represent the place of belonging, just as the British Empire's flag was flown everywhere in the past.
However, it is worth everyone's joy that at least the war here has passed, and prosperity will eventually return to the people. As time passed, Alexandria was rebuilt, and all the hardships for those who survived were just the pain of the past, and there was a better future. Those who are truly miserable are still struggling with the war at this moment, and there is no guarantee that they will survive or not.
At least here, far from the war...... Accardo thought of this, withdrew his gaze, looked at General Frederick, who was accompanying him, and slowly spoke, asking casually: "As long as we open the road to India, this place will once again become a transportation hub, and it will also be prosperous, right?"
"Yes, my Führer! Field Marshal Manstein is trying to stabilize his defenses and prepare for the capture of Iran and India! In fact, there is no decent strength left of the Anglo-American defenders there, and the only reason for us to stop is the long supply line. "Frederick was a war general, so when he mentioned war, he immediately became a fluent answer.
"Time is limited, you prepare a helicopter for General Vercuman at once...... I didn't have the habit of waiting, let him get to Cairo as soon as possible. Accardo closed his eyes as he spoke, and then said to Frederick lightly, "Avoid long nights, and I can't wait, I can't wait to see the stunned expressions of those people." ”
General Frederick couldn't help but look at the Führer, and then his mind was full of speculation, guessing what kind of secret weapon the "Teutonic Knights" was, which could make the Führer look forward to it so much, and would make the dignitaries of various countries show stunned expressions.
"Don't look at it, I know you're curious. Accardo didn't even open his eyes before he guessed General Frederick's expression, he smiled and closed his eyes, and the old god said, "You will be dumbfounded, and then you will find the weapon I am looking forward to, which is definitely worth remembering for everyone." ”
