Chapter 580: 580 Wolf's Lair
The car continued on its way, but soon an open area appeared in front of it. Camouflage netting and some deliberately reserved vegetation conceal a large number of ground facilities, such as a lawn that can park several helicopters and a parking lot large enough to accommodate more than 30 cars.
Around the entire clearing, an anti-aircraft artillery battalion and a radar alert battalion were deployed, as well as a regiment of troops of the 0th SS Division responsible for the defense of the core area. The Führer's safety has always been recognized as a top priority at the German top, so there are more than 2 divisions of troops around the entire wolf's den.
The core area of the wolf's den is a group of semi-underground fortifications covered with vegetation in the center. The most important conference rooms and command areas were reinforced and protected by reinforced concrete, and even huge underground fortifications would have to be built if it were not for the construction period and the Führer's insistence on saving. However, the whole project was greatly simplified by Accardo, and he didn't want to waste resources on a dispensable forest villa.
In the end, for the absolute safety of Führer Accardo, and also to ensure the safety of the imperial high-level concentrated here, German designers designed a semi-buried structure similar to a pillbox, which reduced some of the cost and strengthened some impact-resistant structures. So everyone was happy, and everyone was very happy with the new headquarters.
In fact, the most terrifying thing here is that there are 300 radio stations and a command team of more than 1,000 people, which can be said to be the most concentrated place for German command personnel except for the imperial capital Berlin, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the general headquarters of the Eastern Front.
At the gate into the wolf's den, four SS soldiers saw Accardo get out of the car, immediately raised their arms and stood upright, shouting the slogan Long live the Führer. Accardo casually motioned for the soldiers to excuse themselves, and then walked into the wolf's den with Anna, Manstein, and the others.
The lighting is slightly dim compared to the bright Führer's Residence, but compared to the ordinary basement, it can be regarded as a very bright luxury configuration. Accardo walked all the way down the hallway, the sound of footsteps echoing back and forth in the long hallway, and he was followed by many, many staff members, who were now embraced everywhere he went, at least there were as many as 20 of his advisors and private staff. These people have specialists in arms and weapons, construction engineers, and even Russian translators. The communication with Vlasov just now was the translator next to him who helped the two people to communicate, and it seems that this Russian translator is very professional.
On both sides of the corridor there are various rooms, some are reception rooms, some are security rooms, and some are telegraph rooms. Because there are so many radio stations, even the telegraph room has been classified accordingly: there are radio stations dedicated to Africa, there are radio stations responsible for directing the eastern front, and there are radio stations used to communicate with the country. These stations have also been classified into arms, with some contacting the Air Force General Staff and some contacting the Navy General Staff.
There are even special spy agencies to oppose the infiltration of other spies. After the German military won unprecedented victories with the help of spies several times in a row, the importance attached to espionage work also rose to an unprecedented height. Counter-espionage work has been listed as a top priority, and many major espionage cases hidden within the Wehrmacht have been solved.
Before the start of the war, the German army conducted research on password protection, and finally determined 4 sets of password reserve schemes for changing at any time, with the progress of the war, the password has been changed twice on a large scale, which also made the German army's communication has been in a very secure environment, and the Allies have been unable to decipher the cipher code used by the German army.
Accardo toured room after room, and then greeted the non-commissioned officers and officers who were already busy. He shook hands with the officers and soldiers kindly, and discussed breakfast and the weather with them. Everyone who shook Accardo's hand seemed particularly excited, at least everyone who worked here was a complete Accardo Rudolph loyalist. If necessary, Accardo would have given the order and most of them would have chosen to die for the Führer, without hesitation.
When the state machine is full of horsepower to erect a monument for a person, the effect can often reach the point of being incredible. If the leader of a country appears in the news every day, doing good deeds for the people and winning honor for the country, and it happens that all the people feel the benefits and changes he brings, then is it easy for this person to go to the altar?
In another plane, Goebbels used this method to send Hitler to the altar, and in this plane, Fanny used the same method to make Accardo a great national icon. Now most Germans are fanatical admirers of Accardo, willing to go to war for such a leader, willing to face death for such a leader.
So I walked all the way to Accardo's own office, which was the heart of the fortifications, with an inward-facing garden with woods and a pool with a few small fish. This garden was the center of the whole underground fortification, only the Führer's room had a window facing it, and the sunlight and trees made Accardo very satisfied, at least he could walk here when he was bored, without worrying about others coming to disturb him.
"You and Brauchitsch are doing a good job, I'm happy here, at least I personally don't think there's anything wrong with having a hot summer here. Accardo looked at the walls around his office and smiled at Manstein, who had followed him in.
On the wall behind Accardo's desk, there is a huge German eagle holding the national emblem of the swastika, on one wall hangs two famous paintings looted from Ukraine, and on the other wall, there is a map of the situation of the German Eastern Front, which does not mark serious classified information, but only slightly draws the actual control line of the two sides. Maps and paintings, along with windows and doors, make up the simple and atmospheric style of the office walls. There are bedrooms and private meeting rooms on either side of the office, and there are really plenty of rooms for Accardo to use.
Everyone knew that Anna was going to live with the Führer, and maybe Fanny, the propaganda minister who came with her, would also live in, so the Führer's room had several bedrooms, and the central master bedroom had a rather large soft bed, and it seemed that the person who had set up this bedroom had put a lot of hard work into it. After touring his room, Accardo returned to his office, made the real thing on the sofa, and motioned to Manstein not to be restrained.
"My Führer, I have heard that little Caesar is in good health, but it does not seem good for you to leave Berlin at this time. Manstein was in a good mood when he had taken care of his own business, and cared about Accardo's son.
Accardo smiled and waved his hand: "Because of this little guy, I didn't even leave Berlin for the war on the Eastern Front, and now it's okay, he prefers to sleep in his mother's arms, and I will become a dispensable person, so hurry over and do my duty as a Führer." ”
"My Führer, you are too modest. Manstein smiled and said: "A man like you, who dismantles his industry and helps all the German people to overcome their enemies and rise to glory, will always be our example." ”
"Don't think too much of what I think is great, I sat in this position, I started a war, and if in the end I failed, then think about what happened to the loser. So I have to win, for me, for my children, for my women. Accardo glanced at Anna and continued, "For their sake and for myself, I had no choice but to compromise. ”
If life had a choice, Accardo would not have chosen to take this path of world domination, he would no longer have paid attention to Hitler, he would no longer have bothered with Sickert's plans to strengthen the army, he would have chosen to be a rich man - of course, he would not regret it, then he would not have met Mercedes, he would not have met Anna, and he would not have been able to gather so many followers.
Life is like this, you can never have it all. Power may seem majestic, but sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice a lot of freedom and interests. Rich and rival may sound like a happy country, but the endless business and entertainment will definitely leave you with no time to spend it.
Accardo chose to enter the stage of the Führer at that time and open a chapter of the struggle for world domination, so he could only reorganize his Bai Lanhua group under Speer's construction, he could only choose to compromise with the greedy Jewish merchants, and he could only work tirelessly and endlessly between the nobility and the military and the chaebol, which was doomed from his first choice that year and could not be changed. There is only one end to quitting halfway, that is, being torn to pieces by both the enemy and us, and even the corpse will not be left.
The war had begun, everyone had taken the position that history had given them, and Accardo couldn't back down, so he chose to keep going, for the sake of everyone, step by step. He prayed that he would be able to achieve the final victory, and that he would be able to win the opportunity to step away and laugh in the future.
Looking at Accardo's wry smile, Manstein closed his mouth, he stood upright, bowed his head and expressed his respect and understanding to Accardo: "No matter what, my Führer, I, Manstein, will always support you and be your most loyal subordinate!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency. I will also do my best to lead you to victory in the war!" Accardo walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "So I came to the wolf's den and stood here. In a moment, someone will send the defense plan of the Eastern Front...... By the way, you personally sent a telegram to Rommel in the name of the High Command, asking him how the battle of Tobruk was going, and the smoother his side played, the closer we would be to victory. ”
"Yes!" Manstein straightened, turned and walked out—
Soldiers of the Reich, the Third Reich has been surpassed all the way on the monthly pass list, and has lost more than a dozen games in a row, and the Führer needs your monthly pass! The Reich needs you!
