Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 307: News from the UK

After discussing the interior decoration problem for a while, Borman asked Xu Jun to resign, the reason was to check the preparation of the banquet that evening... Xu Jun immediately agreed to his request, he knew that this guy had just received a lot of impact, You need to find a place to calm down temporarily.

Just as Borman left, the phone on the desk rang and Xu Jun turned back to the desk and answered the phone.

"Yes, I've been waiting for him all the time, please invite him in and wait a moment! Borman." Xu Jun covered his microphone and stopped Borman who was walking towards the door.

"What else to order, my head." Bolman stopped and turned to ask.

"If you have time, stay and have lunch together." Xu Jun said loudly.

"I will always have time for you. This is my honor, my head of state." Borman did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed to Xu Jun's request.

"Very well, you go to arrange it, I will come later." Xu Jun nodded with satisfaction, then made a gesture to Borman. The director of the Prime Minister's Office respectfully bowed, then turned back to the side door leading to the restaurant.

Hitler’s office has a total of five doors, one door facing south leads to the marble gallery outside, two doors facing east lead to the private corridor of the head of state, at the end of the corridor is the restaurant of the Prime Minister’s Palace, and two doors facing west, There is a public walkway leading to the cabinet meeting room on the outer side, and the door on the inner side also leads to the cabinet meeting room, but it is Hitler's private passage. Hitler will choose which passage to use according to the needs of the situation.

As soon as Borman left the side door, the main entrance of the office was pushed open, and Weierle, who was wearing a uniform, walked in with a spirited look.

"Disenhofen, let the secretaries leave for half a day this afternoon and let them go to Berlin Street to have fun." Xu Jun put the phone down after speaking and sat on the high-back chair waiting for his chief of staff.

"Salute to you, my head." Weierle took off his military cap and clamped it under his armpit, standing at the desk and nodded to Xu Jun.

"Sit, Weierle." Xu Jun waved his hand casually, beckoning Weierle to sit down.

"Borman just left." Xu Jun opened the drawer. Take out a blank document paper from inside.

"Congratulations, my head of state." Weierle said slightly lowered forward.

"Don't hurry to congratulate so much, Weierle."

"He swore allegiance to you? My head." Weiler asked in a low voice with a nervous expression.

"Very serious, but it will take a while to test him. This is a cunning guy." Xu Jun was successfully amused by the look of the chief of staff.

"Outsiders always think he is mine, Weierle." Xu Jun picked up a pen from the stationery stand and played with it in his hand.

"But in fact, he was a Hitler from beginning to end. It was the insurance that the head of state laid around me, and Hitler knew that I would not care about this, so he transferred him to my side at ease. At that time, I was just a party The deputy head of state. Apart from a nice title and some connections in the army, there is no real power at all.

Hitler put him beside me to facilitate the control of party affairs, after all, that is my area of ​​responsibility. Martin Bolman was also the secretary of the Central Party Department of the Nazi Party at the time. After I was transferred to Poland, he also served as the director of the office of the Prime Minister’s Office. Whichever title is much higher than the secretary of the deputy head of the office, so he told me his power All from Hitler, this sentence is really true.

Borman and I could only be regarded as political allies before. It was not a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates. He used me to deal with his political enemies in the party. I use him to deal with some private issues, the two sides use each other to get what they need. If Hitler had doubts about him afterwards, losing Hitler's trust would equal to losing everything he had gained before, so he would desperately fall to me.

But if you think he is sincerely loyal to me, then you will underestimate this Borman. It can be said that he is always a hidden danger hidden in my side. "Xu Jun's face had an intriguing smile, and his finger turned the pen flexibly.

"So now" Weierle raised his eyebrows.

"It's no problem for the time being. He is a wise man who knows what choice he should make now. I have made him understand that he should no longer paranoidly look at our current relationship with the previous concept. The Nazi Party will not allow it to appear anymore. No. 2 leader, keeping one's own duty may live longer." Xu Jun replied with a smile.

"To be honest, I really couldn't find a candidate to replace him for a while. I have countless experts, scholars, military officers and secret agents. But there are few managers who are familiar with Nazi party affairs like him. His ability is very strong. There are some ways to deal with some difficult problems. Have I mentioned to you what happened at Eagle Nest at that time? No? That will be a long story, and I will talk to you slowly next time." Xu Jun unscrewed the pen cap and looked at the gold-plated nib.

"This man knows a lot of things, and you should keep in touch with him. In addition, you must send someone to keep an eye on him. This is also a kind of protection for him, because as long as I feel the pressure I put on him, Martin Bol Man will continue to be loyal to me. I don’t want to replace such a useful secretary. I still need him to solve the problems within the Nazi party for me.” Xu Jun recapped the pen cap and went to Weiller Push in front.

"This is? My head." Weierle asked in confusion.

"Mont Blanc (Montblanc), specially tailored for Hitler, as far as I know there are only three, it is a good souvenir." Xu Jun spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, my head." Weyler quickly reached out and picked up the pen from the table, and inserted it carefully into the chest pocket.

"Okay, now let's talk about your question, Weierle, what good news brought me this time." Xu Jun picked up a pen from the stationery stand.

"My head of state, the British side has agreed to your plan. You can start construction before the end of this month." Weiler put the military cap on the table, then opened the briefcase on his knee and took out a folder .

"This is a memorandum submitted by the Royal Navy, the first draft of the agreement agreed by Marshal Rydell. And this is a personal letter from Prime Minister Chamberlain to you." Weiller spread out the contents of the folder in the office. On the table.

"How was the weather in London before you came?" Xu Jun first picked up Chamberlain's letter and checked the lacquer seal on the envelope.

"The weather is okay. The weather in London was clear before I came, but it has been raining the previous week." Weyler took another small package from the file bag and put it on the table.

"This is a small gift that Your Majesty George VI asked me to bring to you." Weiler said.

"How is Chamberlain's body now." Xu Jun took the letter opener from the table and opened the lacquer seal, opened the folded letter paper and read it carefully.

"I asked his attending doctor. The situation is not optimistic. The previous surgery has caused great harm to his health. In addition to the hard work during this period, some symptoms of complications have appeared. British doctors are considering him. Try the newly developed penicillin." Weiller reports.

"I remember we had a team of experts, under the eyes of Odin, which contained a female military doctor in the Air Force."

"Oh, I know who you are referring to. Captain Adele Lecht."

"Yes, yes, I heard she also dug a Vickers tank."

"It was a prototype powered by electric motors. My head, the British thought we would not find it buried underground." Speaking of this anecdote, Weiler smiled.

"I remember she is very research on drugs, is she still in the UK now?"

"Yes, she is still doing the final work. After the work in her hand is completed, she will be transferred back to the original unit."

"The Air Force specially teaches the brigade? Then she has a long way to go." Xu Jun put down the stationery and said to Weiller with a smile.

"Please apologize to Captain Lecht for me. She may not be able to return to her original unit in a short time. I will transfer her to Chamberlain’s medical team to observe the clinical manifestations of penicillin. Also observe whether the British treatment plan has any What a flaw. At least before the end of the year, I need Chamberlain alive. Of course, it would be better if he could be cured." Xu Jun folded the stationery and placed it in the file box near the desk.

"Yes, my head, I believe Captain Lecht will be very happy to complete the task you have given." Weierle replied respectfully.

"I never doubt this, Weierle." Xu Jun said with a smile: "I will write a reply to Chamberlain and send a special envoy back to Britain in two days. The Prime Minister has found a problem for me what."

"Is it about the supply of non-staple food? He mentioned to me several times the current plight of Britain in this respect." Weiler frowned as he stroked his chin.

"I will personally ask the question from Denmark. From the current situation. Finally, the situation has not been out of control. Now we should be glad that the war has not been delayed for too long, and the damage to the economies and production systems of various countries is not too great. At least they can rely on their own power to remedy. Tomorrow I will summon Shakht, and you will attend the meeting. You will explain to the British side the problem." Xu Jun struck the desk with a pen and wrinkled slightly. brow.

"Follow your orders, my head." Weiler nodded.

"With regard to Churchill’s decree, I don’t have any questions here. It’s up to Chamberlain. I don’t know how he would appease the angry British citizens. But if I need to come forward to help, I won’t be stingy. Yu made a few words for Churchill." Xu Jun then opened the memo submitted by the Royal Navy.

"It is true, my head of state, Churchill is actually very beneficial to us, not only can show the tolerance of the Third Reich, but also calm the hearts of former British government personnel." The staff nodded.

"The request of the Royal Navy is not too much. Since Marshal Redell has no opinion on this agreement, I will respect the decision of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. The German Navy will fully cooperate with the Royal Navy to salvage the sunk outside the Port of Dunkirk as soon as possible. British warships. Speaking of the fact that these warships have been in the sea for three months, does the British have any sense of repair value?" Xu Jun really didn't know much about this issue.

"I once raised this question with Admiral Phillip, Chief of Staff of the British Royal Navy. According to the Admiral, this is not without precedent in the history of the Royal Navy, as long as the main structure of the ship has not caused irreparable damage, repair a The shipwreck has no technical difficulties. The Royal Navy has carried out some preliminary surveys, preparing to first try to salvage the counterattack. The depth of the sea area is not large, and the deepest point is only 26 meters, and this batch of warships sank The average water depth of the area is only 17 meters, and the seabed is very flat, which is relatively conducive to the salvage work. Even those warships that have been confirmed to be irreparable, many useful parts can be salvaged, such as the main gun and the auxiliary gun. , And the complete hull armor plate, these armor are mostly riveted, the British believe that it can be recycled." Weierle reported.

"Then follow the instructions of the British and meet their requirements. In addition, regarding the repair work of those captive ships, how did the British preparations go?" Xu Jun recorded the conversation in the document Several key data and nouns,

"The British said that they were already arranging the necessary parts and materials, and when those warships arrived at the shipyard, repair work could be carried out immediately." Weierle buckled up the document bag and placed it beside the seat.

"I believe they won't fool us, well, I'm a little hungry, Weiler, come with me for lunch." Xu Jun put the documents on the table back into the folder and stood up to stretch his arms a few times.

"It's an honour, my head." Weierle quickly stood up and took his military cap from the table. (To be continued.)
