Chapter 422: Crazy New Mission
Wolf's Lair.
Located in Rastenburg in East Prussia, this city is surrounded by dense forests and is heavily guarded.
Otto Skolzeni stood straight in a military uniform.
Hitler smiled, looked at the scarface in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more he loved it.
"Skorzeny, I am awarding you the Order of the Imperial Knight today, and I hope you will continue to perform amazingly in the future!"
"Yes! Monarch! ”
Hitler put the medal on Otto, who saluted again, thus ending the ceremony.
In fact, most of the senior Nazi commanders scoffed at Otto's showmanship, questioning this unconventional risky action, believing that success was only accidental, and that failure would have disastrous consequences.
However, none of these doubts mattered to Hitler, he wanted results, and Otto Skorzeni's style and methods were very much to his liking, and the Führer still yearned for adventure in his bones.
In the wolf's den, Hitler prepared a sumptuous dinner and specially invited world-famous musicians to play on the side.
Mussolini sat in the command room, looking around at the lavish fortress inside.
The eeriely comfortable operations command room is decorated with pine walls and ceilings, a circular table filled with flowers, and eleven corduroy chairs around the long table.
On the other side of the command room, a ground pattern was placed so that the Führer could keep track of the direction of the battle.
At this time, Josef Goebbels, the Reich's propaganda minister, Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and the chief of police, and Wilhelm Canaris, the second man of the Reich Intelligence Bureau, gathered around the map and whispered something.
After Hitler walked into the command room, everyone present stood up and gave a Nazi salute.
It can be seen that Hitler is now in a good mood and in good spirits, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that cannot be concealed.
He walked up to Mussolini, shook his hands warmly and said, "Hehehe~ My friend, you look a lot better tonight, really." ”
Mussolini was pale and exhausted when he first arrived in the wolf's den, and seemed to have been frightened, but after a few days of rest, he had almost recovered.
Mussolini squeezed out a smile and said, "Adolf, my friend, thank you very much for sending someone to rescue me, but the next step is ...... What are you going to do? ”
Hitler patted Mussolini's hand and looked at several other Nazi top brass.
"Gentlemen, who will tell our fascist leaders what is the current state of affairs in Italy and what the future holds? Heinrich, tell me about it. ”
Heinrich Himmler stretched out his hand and raised his glasses, and replied seriously: "Everything is under our control, my Führer, the traitor Badogglio, has signed an armistice, and now the only leader of Italy is sitting in front of us." ”
Hitler nodded, looked at Joseph Goebbels, and asked, "Joseph, what do you think?" ”
With obvious fanaticism in his eyes, Goebbels took a deep breath and said: "My esteemed Führer, Your Excellency the Leader has regained his freedom, and this news is bound to cause a sensation at home and abroad, whether it is an enemy or a friend, there is nothing but admiration!" It's all up to you to make a comeback that we can celebrate here! ”
"Yes, immortal...... But some people have questioned me before, and I don't know how they feel now...... Canaris, is General Kate feeling better? ”
Canaris was the second man under Kate, and because of the severe burns on the latter's body, Hitler allowed him not to leave the dark room, and naturally not to attend meetings and socials.
"General Kate's body...... I can only say that it is still like that for the time being, and you are worried about the Führer. ”
Hitler turned to Mussolini and introduced him: "The reason why we were able to rescue the leader accurately this time was due to the contribution of the supreme commander of our spy bureau, but unfortunately he was unable to attend the dinner due to health reasons. ”
"Oh...... That's a pity. ”
Mussolini remembered Otto on the plane, and until now he had lingering palpitations, secretly thinking that he could command such a person, how terrible must this guy named Kate be? It's better not to see it.
Hitler seemed to be unsatisfied, and paused: "Actually, we can do more, the British death squads attacked Rommel's African headquarters before, and similar troops have also carried out raids on the French coast many times, I believe that our Imperial Espionage Bureau under the leadership of General Kate, plus a fierce general like Skorzeny, will definitely be able to do better than the British!" ”
Canaris was a little puzzled, but saw Hitler pat him on the shoulder and said, "Your next task is to go to England and bring Williams Herbert to me and bring him to me." ”
"Poof! Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......! ”
Canaris choked on his own saliva and began to cough violently.
And the others around also looked at each other, obviously confused by the idea of the Führer.
"Convey this order of mine to General Kate, and I believe that his words will be able to do it."
After Hitler finished speaking, he looked at Himmler again: "What do you think?" ”
"Of course!" Himmler replied without hesitation: "If it were General Kate, he would have succeeded." ”
"Hahaha~~~ That's right~! It's a blessing to my empire to have General Kate and Skorzeni! Canaris, I'm looking forward to your performance as well. ”
Canaris finally stopped coughing, squeezed out a smile, and said, "I will relay your mission to General Kate, my Führer. ”
"Okay, you go~ Now let's take a look at the situation in Italy."
The chatter in the command room resumed, and a soldier in the corner who was in charge of adding tea and coffee left lightly and closed the door.
After he walked out of the command room, he quickly turned to the kitchen, put down the kettle in his hand, and then dodged to the terrace outside the wolf's den.
"Hitler was really crazy...... Actually want to kidnap Williams directly? I must pass on this news as soon as possible so that Mr. Zhou can be prepared. ”
......
"General, Führer he...... That's what it says. ”
In the darkroom, Canaris conveyed Hitler's whims to his boss, Kate, the head of the spy bureau.
Kate, who was bandaged in many parts of her body, held a glass of wine in her hand, brought it to her lips and took a big sip, and said in a hoarse voice: "What is the attitude of the others?" ”
Canaris said truthfully: "Goebbels still only beats and pats on the back, Mussolini is like a little girl who has been hurt, Himmler...... I can't see through him, sometimes I don't have a sense of existence like a dead man, but sometimes I seem to be able to see through everything. ”
"Hmm...... And what about our Führer? Kate asked again.
"Führer...... He was very happy, and I could tell that he was indeed very happy, and he kept talking about the rescue mission of the Great Sasso, and he was full of praise for Otto, which is why he came up with such a bad idea. ”
Yes, bad idea, Canaris really thinks it's a bad idea.
Isn't it child's play that Williams Herbert is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and the Führer wants them to kidnap them?
