Chapter 26 Welcome (Part 2)
"When I arrive in Paris, I want to talk to you alone, my marshal. By the way, remember to convey my sincere greetings to your wife on my behalf.
I still think that the kind of criticism and accusations placed on you and your wife are ulterior motives and unfair, and Hitler's treatment of you is a complete mistake. I am sorry that I was unable to stand up firmly to support you, and for this I am ready to give you the compensation you deserve."
Xu Jun held Brenberg's hand tightly, with a kind aristocratic smile on his face, and a sincere and friendly tone.
Brenberg obviously had not made such mental preparations. He originally thought that this party was just a performance of the young ducái man showing off his power and glory to the German people and his old bosses.
No matter what, he would never have thought that the leader of the empire would show his kindness to him in such a public situation, which made Brenberg feel a little flattered.
Since his fall from the marriage, Brenberg has received cold treatment. Until now, his colleagues in the military corps still mocked him in a sarcastic tone when talking about this matter.
No one has ever dared or willing to admit that Hitler was unfair in his handling of him, let alone such a direct refutation of the former head of state’s decision. Don’t mention that the person who said such words is the head of the empire. Just saying these words is enough to touch the 61-year-old Field Marshal.
Before this, Brenberg was completely disappointed with Hitler, which was one of the reasons why he was wary of Xu Jun, Hitler's successor. After all, these two people are the same Nazi leader.
Hitler once promised in front of Brenberg that as long as he was willing to resign from his position, he would recall himself and allow himself to continue to serve as commander-in-chief of the armed forces when this matter was forgotten or a war broke out.
Of course, now the marshal has understood that what Hitler promised was entirely lies. After the war broke out, he had repeatedly expressed his willingness to re-serve and fight for Germany, but all he got was endless perfunctory and ruthlessness.
Now, the former commander-in-chief of the German armed forces heard hope from the words of the young head of state. Perhaps he could return to the army he loved. He no longer had the luxury of being the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Now even if he was asked to be a division commander, he would be satisfied.
For this old officer who regards the army as a lifelong career, nothing is more important than returning to the army. The flame that was almost extinguished in the old marshal's heart was successfully reignited by Xu Jun.
"Although it is not yet certain whether this young Nazi leader is really the hope of the rise of the empire as Braushizi said. But this young man feels completely different from what he has been in contact with before. I don't know how this change happened. Maybe God really heard the prayer of the German people and used his boundless divine power to change this apostle."
Thinking of this, Brenberg nodded respectfully to the young leader in Ming Dynasty, who was less than half his age.
"My Head, thank you very much for your concern for me and my family. I will look forward to your summoning in Paris!"
Xu Jun knew that he had taken another step towards success, and he had won the favor and most basic trust of this old marshal, which could be heard from Brenberg's name for him.
"So, my marshal."
Xu Jun smiled and let go of the hand that had been holding the marshal tightly, nodding to the other party and returning the greeting.
Then Xu Jun turned his attention to the next general.
"Oh, General Ludwigsi Baker, long time no see."
Xu Jun enthusiastically held the hand of the former Chief of Staff.
"I finally met the core figure of this anti-Hitler group."
After so many things, Xu Jun has long been accustomed to facing those famous historical figures, because he has now become a part of this history.
But when he saw the most famous and failed conspirator in history, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Ludwigsey Baker, former Chief of Staff of the Army.
As a soldier, he is still quite talented. The guy who can survive the strict screening of Seckert during the 100,000 Army period and climb to that position cannot be a waste.
Having said that, the officers who could continue to stay in the army and be promoted were not fuel-efficient. This is also one of the reasons why Xu Jun was preparing to re-activate Brenberg. You should know that in that environment, only a handful of people could climb to the rank of marshal.
But Baker is not competent as a chief of staff in the Army.
His hands were stretched too long, and in some ways, he was more suitable to be a politician than a soldier.
Baker was a staunch opponent of Hitler's expansion philosophy. In his opinion, no matter how small a war, it would attract the attention of Britain and France. Britain and France would definitely take the opportunity to intervene and trigger another European war, which would bring a catastrophe to Germany.
Judging from his idea, he is a very realistic defeatist.
In his opinion, Germany's best strategy is to keep the status quo.
In order to ensure this status quo and to stop Hitler from causing dangerous wars, he, like a group of officers who shared the same views as him, began to feel dissatisfied with Hitler's policies, and tried to create obstacles to Hitler's expansion policy in all aspects, and even had the idea of overthrowing Hitler with military force to save Germany at critical moments.
While Germany's plan to invade the Czech Republic was still in progress, Beck wrote a very fierce report, refuting Hitler's strategy and invasion plan, not only saying that the price was worthless, but also issued a prediction that the action would inevitably fail, but almost made Hitler's nose skewed.
In the end, Beck naively threatened Hitler to give up this plan that would bring Germany into the abyss by resigning.
Although from some perspectives, Baker's statement did pass the test of Xu Jun's original world history.
But according to the actual situation at that time, the Chief of Staff definitely had no such a far-reaching vision. At this point, he was indeed not as good as Hitler's political vision and military keen insight.
As it turned out, Hitler's adventure was successful and from that time onwards became increasingly out of control.
Hitler agreed to Baker's resignation without hesitation, and as a result, Baker, who was originally full of ambition for his career, regarded this matter as a great humiliation for him. From then on, Hitler became his biggest enemy in his life.
Beck believed from the bottom of his heart that everything he did was for Germany. In the name of defending Germany, he joined an underground anti-Hitler group and became the core figure in this group.
They were planning to launch military admonitions on the front line when Germany invaded the Czech Republic, arrested Hitler and sent him to the people's court organized by the Nazis themselves. As a result, for various reasons, the operation failed without beginning.
From then on, this anti-Hitler group began to degenerate into a real treason group.
In order to overthrow Hitler, this group organized by pro-English and French elements began to try their best to reach various foreign forces, and wanted to use the help of those foreign forces to achieve their goals, and could even infringe on Germany's national interests.
Unfortunately, appeasement in Britain and France rose at that time, so no one paid attention to the suggestion of this small conspiracy group.
Xu Jun knew this history well. He even knew the list of all participants in this rebel group and knew each of them.
Because they were praised by people as a group of great anti-Nazi warriors in Xu Jun's original world, they were all fearless heroes.
Their deeds and lives were excavated by historians and left detailed records, and even special research. Therefore, Xu Jun, who is familiar with the materials, knows some of these rebels better than themselves.
However, after coming to this world, Xu Jun found that many things were not as simple as he had known before.
He learned to judge them with his own eyes, and he would think and make judgments according to facts.
Things that were deliberately instilled in for political reasons can no longer have any impact on him, because he himself is in history.
This allows him to see things that historians cannot see in the future, and can view these issues from a subjective perspective and make appropriate judgments and reactions.
The situation is different now, because the victories obtained by Xu Jun have completely forced the foreign forces to a desperate situation, especially the United Kingdom.
The British now finally know what they have missed. This rebel group has received high attention from British intelligence agencies and the military, and there are other foreign intelligence agencies involved, which has been confirmed.
They had already begun formal contacts, and they even began to provide confidential intelligence in various aspects of intelligence agencies in Germany and began to carry out some underground sabotage activities.
According to Xu Jun's current position, he no longer thinks that these people are anti-Nazi warriors.
Now in his eyes, those who hold up the seemingly noble patriotic flag of anti-ducái and saving Germany with various public or private interests, but continue to sell national interests in private can only be called traitors, are traitors, and are shameless traitors.
However, Xu Jun is not worried about any major damage they can cause to Germany, because their every move is now in his control.
But another problem arose. The group began to split because of the brilliant victory of the German army. Many of them believed that Xu Jun, the new head of state, should be re-evaluated. The brilliant victory of the German army made them doubt their previous judgments. Of course, there are some reasons why Xu Jun's performance in some aspects really makes people feel excellent.
Another group of people had no illusions about Xu Jun, the young head of state. They hated the Nazis and the leaders of the Nazis, but not because of the racist systems and bloody crimes of the Nazis, but because they were staunch fanatics.
In their hearts, Germany must fail so that the mysterious system can be established in Germany again with the help of Britain or the United States. Among those who have this idea, the main ones are frustrated civil servants in their careers.
The last group of people joined the group for various private reasons. Their reaction is still unclear, but it can be seen that they prefer the views of civil servant groups.
As the situation began to become more complicated, Xu Jun was ready to solve these hidden dangers once and for all at the right time.
Xu Jun has already dealt with these three factions, but in any case, those who have sold state secrets and endangered Germany's national security under the instructions of foreign forces must be punished the punishment they deserve.
Baker is one of the most important hub figures. Because of his existence, the three factions did not completely split. He is the central figure who gathered these rebellious and insurgent organizations. All of them maintained sufficient respect and trust for this former chief of staff.
This rebel soul figure stood in front of Xu Jun, with a respectful and humble expression.
He had a pale and thin face and a pair of gray eyes full of yin's gloomy eyes, but Xu Jun could not find anything from this lieutenant general that could make him feel good about it.
It seems that it is correct to call this guy to Paris. This person does have something worthy of his attention. It seems that how to place him must be decided after obtaining more detailed information.
Xu Jun couldn't stand Baker's depressed expression. He smiled and said politely, then turned to the next officer. At this moment, Daogen suddenly penetrated from behind Xu Jun.
Gen is now wearing a straight SS Colonel uniform, with medals hanging on his chest, and his expression is still as cold and serious as ever.
Daogen respectfully pulled Xu Jun aside, leaned in Xu Jun's ear and whispered something.
With Daogen's report, Xu Jun's face began to slowly sink, and his brows frowned slightly.
This made the atmosphere at the scene a little awkward. Everyone looked at Xu Jun and his subordinates in confusion, not knowing what big thing happened.
No one noticed that when Daogen dragged Xu Jun aside to report, Baker, who was standing in the team, showed a look of panic in his eyes, but then he returned to his original depression and depression expression.
"Did you notice it?"
Xu Jun asked softly.
"I noticed that my head of state, it seems that he wants to continue to cover up. This proves that the report from the Intelligence Department is correct. Everything is ready according to your plan,"
Daogen answered softly.
"Very good, then let's start, this time we're going to let those stupid people know exactly what the price they'll pay."
"But Head, I still think you are taking a risk. I think it's better for you to go back to the car, and I must be responsible for your safety."
Daogen said hesitantly.
"No, it has reached the most critical moment. Only in this way can I continue to take the next step. Compared with the benefits we will gain, it is worth it for me to take this risk. Moreover, I have been fully prepared and no accidents will happen."
After saying that, Xu Jun stopped Daogen with his eyes.
"Hahaha, so that's it, I understand!"
Xu Jun suddenly laughed and patted Daogen on the shoulder hard, which scared not only Daogen but everyone present.
"Okay, just handle the little things yourself, Colonel Daogen."
Xu Jun said loudly.
"Yes, obey my head."
Daogen reacted immediately, and he nodded respectfully.
"My Marshal, would you accompany me to review my troops?"
Xu Jun said with a smile to Feng Brauxizi beside him.
"Oh...of course, honor is my head."
Von Braushizi answered respectfully.
"Okay, let's start."
After saying that, Xu Jun weighed the marshal's staff in his hand and walked towards the guard of honor standing on one side of the platform.
Chapter completed!
