Chapter 1242 Assassination (1)

On February 21, 1944, the anxious Mustache forced himself to rush to Paris to once again inspect the Atlantic Wall and listen to the marshals and generals of Army Group B about the preparations and plans for the anti-landing operation.

Accompanying Mustache during the inspection were SS leader Himmler, Chief of General Staff Keitel and Reich Marshal Göring.

Western Europe is the most developed region of modern human civilization, and Mustache is unwilling to see this land and city fall into the hands of the Allies again.

Eisenhower on the other side of the strait has prepared more than 2 million troops, and the war is about to begin.

In addition to listening to the reports of the general and marshal, Mustache's inspection also had an important purpose of boosting the morale of Army Group B.

Wherever the head of state goes, he will surely attract cheers from the soldiers and strengthen their will to fight.

Today, the Third Reich is leaking out everywhere, and Mustache is doing his best to make up for it and save it.

At noon on February 21, Mustache arrived in Paris and entered the headquarters of Army Group B.

Field Marshal Rommel, commander of Army Group B, Lieutenant General Speidel, chief of staff, commanders and chiefs of staff of the 15th Army and the 7th Army attended the meeting.

Everyone agreed that the most likely place for the Allied forces to land was Calais, because it was the closest to the island of Great Britain.

Speidel, Chief of Staff of the Army Group, said to the Führer:

"We have received accurate information that Zhongxia's First and Second Expeditionary Fleets are hiding in the British military port opposite the future. They have replenished a large amount of supplies and ammunition. The officers and soldiers have canceled their vacations and are ready to set sail at any time."

As we all know, Zhongxia's First and Second Expeditionary Fleets are equipped with two super aircraft carriers, two amphibious assault ships, and a large number of guided missile cruisers, destroyers and frigates.

It is a modern naval fleet.

Such a powerful force would definitely be used by Eisenhower as the vanguard of the landing battle, so the Army Group Headquarters believed that the most likely landing site for the Allied forces was Calais.

After listening to Speidel's words, Mustache nodded in agreement.

This kind of reasoning is very logical and persuasive.

The Calais area was the focus of Army Group B's defense. Rommel advocated annihilating the enemy on the beach, so he was fully prepared.

The meeting lasted for more than three hours, and Colonel Count Stauffenberg was waiting outside the meeting room.

He was already working in the High Command, so this time he thought a little bit more and justifiably followed Keitel to inspect the Western Front.

The final suicide plan has not yet been finalized, and they are still looking for opportunities, which is why Stauffenberg is so nervous.

All of Mustache's travel arrangements and security were handled by the SS. Others could not participate at all, and even getting close was a luxury.

Some people have tried to assassinate Mustache before, but they all ended in failure. Mustache did not lose a single hair from beginning to end.

This inspection was the last and best opportunity for Colonel Count Stauffenberg. He had been waiting quietly.

Since Mustache arrived in Paris, Colonel Count Stauffenberg had no contact with Field Marshal Rommel, and there was not even eye contact.

The meeting finally ended three hours later, and Colonel Count Stauffenberg was informed that the head of state would go to the Calais area to inspect the coastal positions tomorrow morning.

Colonel Count Stauffenberg felt that his opportunity had come, and he secretly clenched his fists.

That night, Count Stauffenberg began planning.

Rommel also sent someone with his own ideas.

Finally at dawn, a relatively perfect assassination plan was hatched.

Since Mustache has a habit of going to bed late and getting up late, the inspection officially started at noon.

The personnel accompanying him to the Calais area were Chiefs of Staff Keitel, Himmler, Goering, Commander of the 7th Army General Dorman and Chief of Staff Major General Penzer.

At 1:00 in the afternoon, a group of people finally arrived at the frontline coastal position. What they saw was densely packed bunkers, traffic trenches, and farmland flooded by sea water.

The Atlantic Barrier built under the leadership of Rommel can be said to be a copper wall and an iron wall. It has good transportation and densely packed bunkers as the core of defense.

The beach in front of the bunker is covered with various obstacles and is also littered with millions of mines.

The low-lying area behind the bunker group was filled with seawater, with the purpose of restricting the movement of enemy skirmishers.

There are minefields in all directions, front, rear, left and right, and under normal circumstances the difference is basically indiscernible.

Mustache arrived at the position of the 709th Infantry Division, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Oliver, personally accompanied him for inspection.

The weather was cold and cold, and the sea breeze made people shiver.

After the peripheral inspection, Mustache personally went into the trenches, visited the imperial officers and soldiers at the front line, and checked whether the various facilities were complete.

What satisfied Mustache was that the entire defense line was not only made of reinforced concrete, but also had a large number of material storage warehouses, medical stations, and communications offices behind the bunker. He even saw a large canteen set up in an underground bunker.

Mustache's mood gradually improved, and he began to praise General Dorman, commander of the Seventh Army.

The inspection team continued to shuttle through the trenches and bunkers. Unlike the cold weather outside, everyone had smiles on their faces.

Chief of Staff Keitel nodded repeatedly. With such a line of defense, the Allies could never even think of setting foot on the Western European continent.

Colonel Count Stauffenberg, who was following behind, suddenly disappeared for a while. When he reappeared, he also had a smile on his face, but underneath the smile was a tension that was difficult to conceal.

At 2:10 pm, Mustache arrived at the area closest to the British Isles in Calais.

The bunkers here are built on cliffs. Through the shooting windows reserved in advance, you can clearly see the sea several kilometers ahead.

Colonel Count Stauffenberg's forehead began to shed fine beads of sweat, and one of his one eyes would occasionally blink rapidly.

He left the trench at 2:13 pm, and there was already a jeep waiting for him outside.

Count Stauffenberg tried his best to control his facial expression and did not show any nervousness or panic, nor did he show any joy.

The blood in his body was rushing, but he still had to approach the jeep with firm and steady steps.

At 2:15 pm, when Colonel Count Stauffenberg's hand touched the handlebar of the jeep, there was a violent explosion behind him.

His body trembled involuntarily, and he resisted the urge to look back, jumped neatly into the jeep, and signaled the driver to go to the nearest military airport immediately.

The plane arranged by Rommel had been waiting at the airport for a long time. After Count Stauffenberg boarded the plane, the plane quickly took off and flew directly to Berlin.

In Count Stauffenberg's view, Hitler had already passed away at the moment the explosion occurred.

His most urgent task now is to rush to Berlin to command and implement the Valkyrie Plan, and use Berlin's reserve forces to control the Chancellery, the Supreme Command, the SS headquarters and other places.

Marshal Rommel must stay in Paris to prevent the millions of Allied troops from across the strait from landing in large numbers while the Third Reich is in chaos.

After getting on the plane, Count Stauffenberg finally couldn't help but waved his fist and almost shouted excitedly.

At 5:30 pm on the 22nd, Count Stauffenberg watched with joy as the plane got closer and closer to the ground.

After the plane came to a complete stop, Count Stauffenberg adjusted his military uniform and strode out.

He felt that he was a hero of the Germanic nation and his name would be heard throughout the Western world.

He seems to have seen the coup succeed, the Nazis disappear, and he becomes an important leader of the new country.

He happily stepped off the plane, and as soon as his feet stepped on the solid ground, the smile on Count Stauffenberg's face suddenly froze.

Berlin's airport should have been the busiest airport in the entire Third Reich, but at the moment there was not a single soul in sight. It was so quiet that it seemed that even breathing was noisy.

Just when Count Stauffenberg was confused, a large number of military vehicles drove out from the shadows of various buildings.

All the vehicles were approaching the only plane on the runway, no, to be precise, they were surrounding the officer standing next to the plane.

Count Stauffenberg even saw a machine gun.

When he raised his hands above his head, a squad of SS soldiers rushed towards him and roughly pushed him to the ground.

Count Stauffenberg was taken to the SS office next to the airport, and no one spoke to him during the process.

When the time was close to 6 o'clock, a major officer walked in from outside smoking a cigarette.

He looked at Count Stauffenberg with contempt in his eyes.

Count Stauffenberg did not know this man, and he did not think that his assassination failed from this point on.

At 6 o'clock, the major officer turned on the radio with a smile.

The voice of the female host came from the radio. Count Stauffenberg did not pay attention to what the female host said. He only heard one sentence:

The head of state will deliver a radio speech.

Count Stauffenberg's face was full of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

The SS major officer next to him couldn't help laughing when he saw this appearance.

When the head of state's voice came from the radio, the major officer threw away his cigarette butt and stood up straight.

Count Stauffenberg's head dropped heavily to the ground.

"My dear compatriots in the Third Reich:

When I speak to you today, the first reason is that I want you to hear my voice and know that I am safe and sound;

The second is to make you aware of a crime that has never happened before in the history of the Empire.
