. The Third Reich under the Ten Thousand Characters Volume 5: Battle of Britain Chapter 24: Walter von Braushici

The cleaning of the Third Reich finally ended for five days. The scope of this cleaning was greater than that of the Crystal Night in 1934. During the cleaning process, the Gestapo captured more than 12,000 suspects suspected of treason. These people came from various industries. The arrested people were locked up in nearby concentration camps, and a few were shot dead during the escape.

The cleaning operation indirectly changed the power structure of the Third Reich, and some positions were vacant and immediately filled by Xu Yang's people. It is worth mentioning that during this cleaning process, except for a few institutions of the Third Reich, other institutions were not paralyzed due to the cleaning operation. Even after the cleaning operation, the efficiency of various administrative departments suddenly became more efficient.

Some borers who are in their positions but do not do things and only know that greed stealing national property are eliminated. If they are replaced by young, struggling and passionate about the country, the efficiency of the administrative department will certainly be faster. New blood is supplemented into the national political movement machine and acts as lubricant. They are young and fearless and dare to break any ancient inheritance. New, energetic young people have walked onto their own stage with full of passion. They are working hard and will inevitably be rewarded!

The role played by the National Defense Forces in this purge was depressing. Under the instruction of some generals, the second-tier troops stationed in the Third Reich first resisted, then resisted, and turned into indifferent.

What made the National Defense Forces make such a resolution? This was originally the capital of Belgium. After the fall of Belgium, Brussels became the capital of the German-occupied government.

Due to some helpless reasons, Blauchic temporarily set up the front-line General Staff in Brussels. But he absolutely likes Brussels. The buildings here are like buildings in the Third Reich, and they are also Gothic buildings, which makes many soldiers who are fighting abroad feel like they are from their hometowns.

As the war dragged on longer and longer, many wounded soldiers who retreated from the front also chose Brussels as their ideal cultivation. The reason is that the climate of Brussels is pleasant and Belgium fell too quickly, as the capital. Brussels was not ravaged by the war and its scenery is still beautiful.

The city of Brussels is slightly pentagonal, with many famous places and historical sites. It is one of the relatively complete administrative regions of Europe's Gothic buildings. The city is divided into Upper City and Lower City. Upper City is built on the slope and is the main administrative region. The main attractions include the Louis XVI-style architectural style Royal Palace, Plaza Royal, Egmon Palace, the National Palace where the Senate and the House of Representatives are located, the Royal Library and some art museums.

Blaushici set up the General Staff in the center of the administrative district, looking down from above. You can see the medieval Gothic buildings around the large square in the city center. Directly opposite is the former Belgian city hall and the current German-occupied district government office building. There are also some historical museums nearby, as well as the Deswan Cafe for people to pass their time in their spare time. The Financial Street Theater is also one of the more special attractions.

The Blauchic station is a good location, from this angle you can clearly see the blocks to the east, and the straw sheds on the slopes that have been repaired very beautifully in the distance. Blauchic likes to hold a cup of coffee in his spare time and look at the crowd below from a high place. At this time, he is watching the German soldiers wandering on the street.

Does Belgium seem to have admitted the fact that it was defeated?

The Belgians living in Brussels were originally worried that the German army would retaliate after the fall of the capital. They were once frightened and believed that once the German army entered Brussels, they would arrest civilians or snatch all valuable things.

Yes, the Belgians have always believed that the Germans were a group of poor people who couldn't even eat enough. It was because of their poverty that the Germans loved fighting so much. The Belgians believed in the propaganda of the British, and they firmly believed that the Germans were very barbaric. At least during World War I, the Germans who invaded Belgium were indeed very barbaric. Trench tactics dug Belgium into pieces.

The Belgians admitted the fact that they were defeated. But this does not mean that the Belgians accepted that they had been defeated. When the Germans entered Brussels, the Belgians did not resist. They just stood by the road and looked at the Germans with hatred eyes, cursed the prisons put in by the invaders in their hearts, and then worried about their future survival on the other hand.

If you are an individual, you will have conflicts. What you see in your eyes is a group of soldiers in beautiful military uniforms. Although these soldiers seemed full of energy when communicating with the Belgians, they looked like the victors. However, the German army at least did not show a hideous face and regarded the Belgians as slaves. After entering the city, the German army did not arbitrarily extort civilians, arrested a large number of civilians, or demanded the property of the Belgians at will.

"Don't give the German army any excuses to rage. Under absolute force, the truth never exists."

The Belgians were very rational, well... yes, the Belgians were really rational. They persuaded themselves to temporarily accept the rule of the Germans and wait for the Allied counterattack. Belgium would one day be restored.

On the other hand, the Belgians felt very powerless. Their king had been invited by the SS to Berlin for more than half a month, and no news has been sent back yet. The Belgians who lacked spiritual support wanted to resist and no one had enough prestige to take the lead, so they could only choose to continue waiting. They rubbed their swollen sun** with their hands, and then picked up the documents next to them. He had experienced too many things in his life, but nothing had ever made him feel embarrassed. Two telegrams sent from Berlin successively put him in a dilemma.

One of the two telegrams was sent by Frichi. The telegram lists the recent events in the Third Reich and uses a lot of space to describe the process of the Great Purge. Frichi's words said that once the Gestapo continues to let the Gestapo do whatever he wants in China, it will destroy the order of the Third Reich. The Gestapo's large-scale arrest has affected the interests of major groups. If it continues, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fridge pointed out with concern that after the Gestapo cleaned up civilian personnel, he would attack the National Defense Forces. In order to ensure the orthodox of the National Defense Forces, the National Defense Forces should take practical actions to fight.

Needless to say, another telegram was sent by Xu Yang. Compared with the exaggerated content of Fridge's telegram, the telegram sent by Xu Yang is more closely related to the facts and tells the process of the great purge and the benefits obtained; use actual data as an example, which are the spies lurking in the country of the enemy country, and which are pure borers. After these people were eliminated, the country recovered so much lost funds and how administrative efficiency developed.

At the same time, Xu Yang clearly told Blaushichi that in the war era, the country could only have one voice, and war did not require disputes, nor did it take two parties or multiple parties to make decisions after long debates. A political system, a group, and a benefit can make the country show its due vitality, and the country will become stronger because of this reason. Finally, Xu Yang asked Blaushichi why the Second Empire was defeated in the first battle. He also answered himself, because there was no unified voice. An old man who had experienced too much would never be easily convinced for some reasons. He would only look with his own eyes to distinguish what was right and what was wrong.

"He... wants to disband the Congress, implement a comprehensive conscription system, adopt a wartime economic system, and fully integrate the national armed forces?"

Braushichi's hand trembled. The wise old man was not hesitating about anything. He grew up in the age of the ** and received education from the age of the **. He did not resist nor supported the dictatorship. He was more willing to think about what path he would take once the country had only one voice left?

"I believe his words, Britain will never wait for death. This cunning country is trying to win over the United States. He is right, time is the enemy of the empire. He should not believe the words of some generals, and wishful thinking that the British will choose to surrender rationally. This island country is the root of sin, and the mentality of the island people is most likely to fall into hysterical pathology. Even if the British fall into prison, they hope to pull the whole of Europe!"

Blaushich is a member of the National Defense Forces and feels powerless about the views of some generals of the National Defense Forces. Now that the Sea Lion Plan is about to be implemented, there are even generals who openly oppose landing in Britain. With such a short-sighted view, what else can Blaushich express besides a wry smile?

Braushich is the supreme commander of the front line, and any of his decisions will affect the survival of millions of soldiers on the front line. In his eyes, the two armed forces except the armed forces of the National Defense Force and the SS are fighting bloody for a common goal. There is no need to exclude each other for the difference in name. The bullets flying from the battlefield will not choose to fly to because you are the National Defense Force or the SS.

In Braushich's view, it is necessary to establish a joint command so that the combat effectiveness of the two troops can be effectively exerted, and no communication time will be wasted due to the difference in the command system, resulting in delays in the fighter jets again and again.

Braushich once exchanged views with the commanders on the front line.

Loeb's answer is simple and clear. Loeb believes that as long as the country can win the final victory, he is willing to support it and will not exclude anything because of any identity or nominal difference. At present, Loeb prefers to continue the war, rather than adopting a shrinking strategy after conquering France. He believes that once the shrinking, his early advantages will be broken, and fairness has always been based on force.

Loeb said to Braushich in private: The little guy has a longer vision than anyone else. Think about what he once said. Once the war begins, unless all enemies are afraid, there will be real long-term peace. Dignity and position are always based on absolute force, and do not leave any chance of turning over the enemy.

Braushiqi understood Loeb's position. Loeb told everyone without hiding it that he supported Xu Yang. Braushiqi had dignity to protect his abilities, but he would also think that with the human resources of the Third Reich, he could really win the final victory.

After Blaushich's doubts, he immediately felt relieved. After the Battle of Poland, the Empire Propaganda Department had been guiding the Europeans to understand that the Red Empire in the East was a behemoth that could threaten the orthodox Europeans.

Due to ideological differences, Europeans could not like the red regime. These Europeans had a very strange idea that they never regarded the Soviet Union as a European country, and each time they regarded the military action of the red regime's advance westward as an invasion of Europe.

If Germany is a problematic youth in Europe, then Europeans still regard Germany as a member of Europe. No matter what extraordinary things Germany does, Europeans are willing to regard these historical accidents as internal contradictions in Europe. It is very clear that Germany and many European countries are consistent, and even if a war breaks out with a certain country, it is also a contradiction arising from the same ideology.

The Soviet Union was not the case. This behemoth was never accepted by European countries. When Tsarist Russia fell and the red regime was in power, Europeans once shouted that eastern Europe had fallen and that it was invaded by another world. Europeans did not accept that red regime, which was tolerant of Britain, France and other countries for the Third Reich. This tolerance was considered a correct strategy and a policy tolerant of the war in the years before the outbreak of the war.

This is a very weird idea. European countries would rather let an extremely aggressive country within Europe rise again than let the red regime penetrate into Europe. This is a very difficult-to-understand thinking pattern.

Braushich had a reason to rest assured that he took everything in his eyes. The wise old man believed only one truth. That is, only those who were prepared would be favored by victory.

Braushich and Loeb had a good relationship, and the two often discussed things together. They had once been confused that it happened a few years ago, and at that time they were very unaware of what the Imperial Propaganda Department did.

On the one hand, the Imperial Propaganda Department blocked the Third Reich's internal understanding of the outside world, allowing the people of the Third Reich to live in their own small circle. On the other hand, the Imperial Propaganda Department gave up its racial theory that it promoted at home and widely publicized the dangers of the Red Empire in surrounding countries. It expressed its kindness to all countries in a hidden way, and squandered its sense of responsibility to Europe without any written procedures, and called on Europeans to arm themselves and prepare to resist the invasion of huge objects.

At that time, not only Blaushich was confused, but also a large number of people who could access foreign information were puzzled. Now, Blaushich understood and Loeb also understood. Many people understood: that was to prepare in advance and use propaganda to pull more people onto the German chariot. The more strange the Luo Shich felt, he thought carefully. He was surprised to find that every thing Xu Yang did was planning for the future.

Do you need to give an example? There are too many things to give an example.

In the era when the theory of large ships was rampant, some people jumped out and firmly believed that Germany should have its own aircraft carrier. This man bought a lot of funds for the navy and gained friendship with the navy.

When the army was reorganized, who was tough and slapped? Each infantry division must have more than two artillery battalions, and even each army should have its own direct air reconnaissance formation.

"He was involved in all the combat plans..." Braushich raised his hand again and rubbed his swollen sun**. "He has always been so calm, as if he had an insight into what will happen in the future."

Brausic received a call from Air Force Chief Kesseling a few hours ago. During the call, Kesseling seemed very excited and told Brausic that most of the fighter jets had been modified and could be equipped with a secondary fuel tank. The combat radius of the fighter jets was increased because of that little thing. Kesseling said that he was more confident in completing the leader's orders, paralyzing the British radar system, and entering the British industrial area where the British bombed the British.

"Keseling is completely on his side..." Braushich also knew one fact, that is, the German Navy also stood on Xu Yang's side. He thought deeply, "He is not like a soldier who appears to be expressed."

Braushich had his own connections and his own source of intelligence. It was because he was well-informed that he realized that Xu Yang cleaned most of his opponents and replaced them with his own people in just five days, and sootheed the uneasy fence-bearer in just five days.

"He knew the use of power and after hitting everyone hard, he threw out the benefits that should have been abandoned, which made the swaying people hesitate and unable to make a decision."

"He is in power and creating a controllable situation. He firmly grasped the balance and consolidated his position."

"A country, a leader, a voice..., can he do it?"

Braushich knew he should make a choice, so he stepped towards the safe beside his desk, twisted and unzipped the password, and took out an envelope from it.

"I hope my choice is correct..." He unbuttoned the envelope, took out a folded piece of letter paper from it, and looked at it intently several times. After reading the content of the letter, his eyes remained at the signing position, and swept the names of the generals who had signed it one by one.

Braushichi smiled bitterly again, then placed the letter paper on the table, picked up the pen and wrote in the signature: Walter von Braushichi.

Braushich folded the letter paper and put it in the envelope, and sealed it with wax seal. He was not the first person to receive this letter, nor would he be the last person to receive it. After he signed the letter, the letter would be in the hands of Boke, the commander of the Army Group B.
