Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 423: Declare war

On October 20, 1940, on the King's Square in front of the Imperial Parliament Building in Berlin, Xu Jun led some cabinet members to carry out the groundbreaking ceremony of the renovation of the Parliament Building.

Since the building was burnt through the roof in three or three years, Hitler had no intention of completely repairing it. He wanted to use the building as a monument to show the crimes of the "enemy" of the empire to the world. Although the history of later generations proved that the fire was released by Gorin, all Germans at the moment believed that this was caused by the red mob in the mouth of the Nazis.

After Xu Jun returned to Berlin, he was quite dissatisfied with the historical fire scene because the famous Brandenburg Gate was on the side of the Parliament Building. Standing at the door, you could see the burnt black dome of the Parliament Building showing the skeleton, For the head of Xu Da who likes to pursue perfection, this is really a bit too bad.

The opening of the parliament building has been placed on the head of state's schedule. Of course, he will not waste this publicity opportunity. Xu Jun plans to rebuild the parliament building as a symbol of the end of Hitler's era.

The weather in Berlin was clear that day, and there were only scattered clouds in the sky. The sunlight shone on the faces of the participants, driving away the chill in early autumn. Xu Jun, as always, wore his gorgeous army marshal uniform, holding a specially crafted marshal's cane, and stood with his head tall on the well-built rostrum of the Berlin city government, with a cross hanging around the venue The blood-red flag of the eagle emblem fluttered gently with the breeze in the woods of Tyre Park.

His Excellency the Head of State looked down at the tens of thousands of Berlin citizens who participated in the rally. Both men, women, children and children were watching him with admiration. Everyone was breathless and silent on the floor. Born, the elder husband should do the same, the ancients did not deceive others.

Fingers tapped the microphones in front of both sides lightly. Xu Jun turned back and looked back at the people behind him. Borman faced the spring breeze at the moment. Goebbels remained consistent and solemn. Ribbentrov was very instrumental, Sim. Lai was as pious as a religious ceremony.

"Today is a great day to be written in German history." Xu Jun turned his face and began to address the microphone solemnly.

"Everyone knows that the building behind me used to condense the glory and authority of an empire. The glory of the Second Empire began here and ended here. Then we spent a period of humiliation and suffering. I believe None of you have forgotten those old days.

Today, a new page of history begins here. We are here to witness this building that carries the history of the empire undergoing repairs again. When the project is completed, the building will continue to carry the history The mission, and this time it will prove the glory of the Germans of you and me, the great revival of the German nation across the ages. The head of state waved his fists in excitement. The people boiled, and under the leadership of the leader of the venue, raised his right arm and praised the victory loudly.

Xu Jun waited for a while, then spread his arms and made a press gesture. After a few seconds, the venue became quiet again. The head of empire was very satisfied with it and showed a smile of relief.

"Citizens of the Third Reich, just yesterday, a batch of supplies from Britain arrived in the port of Hamburg. It was a batch of woolen products. I sent people to check them, and they were all very good textiles. And in the days to come Here, commodities from foreign countries like this will fill our warehouses. You will be able to see French fashions, clocks and jewelry from Belgium, and daily necessities from the United States in the Berlin window. You can You can buy goods from any country in the world in Germany, as long as you can imagine." Xu Jun said with his finger poking at the desk of the podium.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" Once again the fanatic slogan sounded, and a whole piece of raised right arm looked like dense bushes.

"This is the victory of the empire, and the victory of each of you." Xu Jun added to the microphone, the cheers became more heated, just like the typhoon that roared and roared, no other sounds could be heard in the ear for a while, and there were constantly Passers-by passing by near Tyre Park were attracted by the sound here, and the crowd began to gather from all directions towards the venue. The police responsible for the security of the venue and the soldiers of the head guard quickly stopped a cordon, so the newcomers gathered outside the line, and gradually formed a huge encirclement around the venue.

The new head of state is a little different from Hitler. He is not very keen on public speaking, but the Germans like group activities too much, which has almost become a part of their lives, so Xu Jun gradually began to increase the number of social activities, and try to All made some speeches.

It seems that the effect is indeed significant. Not only did Xu Jun draw closer to ordinary citizens, but it also played a significant role in promoting his new policies.

In the next half hour, Head Xu Da showed his talents for speeches and quoted a lot of quotes according to the classic aphorisms. He also worked on the battlefield and was completely able to deal with this kind of scene. For a time, the young and handsome heads had a whimsical flower, sometimes throwing out a few humorous paragraphs, amused the audience to laugh, and occasionally slammed a few scoops of dog blood, moved the women and children to tears in the eyes, and the hot blooded boys must start .

Goebbels was more convinced at this point that the head of state was destined to succeed Hitler. From a purely performance level, the two were completely unmatched, but if the figures of both sides were taken into account, Hitler could only cry and die in the bathroom.

"Hi! Reinhardt! Hi! Reinhardt!" In the slogan, Xu Jun picked up the glass on the side of the podium and took a sip of water.

This generally indicates that the speech has come to an end, and then the head of state will say some words of praise and gratitude, and may also disclose some new policies and trends, draw a few delicious cakes, and finally end with three calls to victory .

At this moment, Weierle came to the rostrum with a blank sheet of paper. He hurried to the rostrum, first talked with Borman who was the host of the ceremony, and then took the white The paper approached Xu Jun, and the lieutenant general gave a respectful salute to the head of state after the salute.

The emperor's head lowered his head and looked at the content on the paper. The officers and government officials sitting in the front row of the meeting hall clearly saw the head of state frowning tightly.

This kind of thing has never been encountered before. The people can't help but whisper and whisper about it. It is impossible that something unexpected happens, so important that the speech of the head of state must be interrupted.

Xu Jun remained silent for more than ten seconds, then raised his head, his expression became very serious, and his eyes became sharp and firm.

"German citizens, just now, I received a message." Xu Jun's eyes swept across the VIP area in the front row, and the generals and school officials wearing ceremonial uniforms straightened their backs in a hurry. The people also hurriedly stopped talking, and everyone stared at the head of state standing behind the podium, and once again the silence was restored in the square.

"Just an hour ago, the Italian army launched a sudden attack on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In this attack, the German Army expedition, which was conducting military exchanges on the ground, was brutally attacked by Italian soldiers. Now it is known that there are two brave The German officers left us forever, and three German officers and soldiers were injured in different ways. What is certain is that during the entire attack, the German delegation has been stationed in the camp with the German flag high, and constantly Show each other their identities, but they are still attacked mercilessly by the Italian army." Xu Jun held the podium in one hand and picked up the drinking glass in the other. His slightly trembling arm exposed his excitement at the moment.

A cry of excitement suddenly broke out in the meeting place, and the Germans at the meeting were stunned by the news, followed by a group of anger burning from the heart. Those stupid Italian pigs, who gave them such guts, dared to challenge the dignity of the Third Reich.

"Citizens, just yesterday, I was still thinking about how to improve our relationship with Italy and ease the conflicts between our two countries because of certain political differences. We and the Italians have always been friendly allies, this is The foreign policy formulated in the Hitler era by the former head of state, I was prepared to continue it. So when they abandoned the previous agreement and attacked France alone, I did not speak. When they terminated their cooperation with Germany and tore a large number of them I didn't express any opinions when trading orders. I thought this was only a temporary phenomenon and it would be resolved after communication.

And just two days ago, when they violently crossed the Albanian border and launched an invasion into Greece, which has always maintained friendly relations with Germany, I also remained silent on this matter as always. Because these two countries are all German friendly nations, we can only remain neutral and cannot be biased towards either side.

The Greek King George II and Prime Minister Metaxas wrote several letters to me in succession. They asked Germany to lend a helping hand to stop the atrocities of Mussolini’s army. They called us defenders of European justice because we It was just announced to the world that a new European order under German leadership was established.

In fact, after reading these letters, my face was spicy, like a slap in the face. I began to reflect on whether Germany was too indulgent of our "great ally". Mussolini has now fully exposed his personal ambitions, and even ignored the previous agreement with Germany in order to fill him. That greedy belly that could never be satisfied, he spared no effort to trample and destroy the peace and stability exchanged by countless German soldiers with blood.

Italy’s invasion of Greece was a blatant challenge to the new European order. We should have stopped him at that time, but considering Historian Hitler’s request, we could not make a hostile decision against Italy.

We are tolerant and connivance Italy again and again, but in the end we get contempt and provocation. We can no longer keep silent this time, we have to shout out loud and tell those Italians that they have touched the bottom line that must not be offended, they have offended a country that must not be offended, they must pay for what they do cost! Xu Jun waved the Field Marshal's cane angrily, like beating the big Italian chin.

"I have long stated that Yugoslavia was protected by the Great German Empire. The Italians ignored my warning, attacked the Yugoslav garrison, and killed the German Army officers and soldiers present. Since this is what the Italian leader wanted to see When I arrive, then I will satisfy his wish. I declare here in the name of the head of the Great German Empire that from midnight today, the Great German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy will enter a state of war. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately notified the German Ambassador to Rome, third The empire officially declared war on Italy." Xu Jun slapped the platform of the podium.

"War! War! War!" The officers and civil servants in the VIP area in the front row stood up and raised their right arms to salute their heads of state.
