Chapter 27 The Unspeakable Truth of History (5)
The two handed the invitations in their hands to the staff of the Prime Minister's Office and were immediately taken to a hall.
Chen Dao and Steiner looked at the layout of the hall curiously. On the wall opposite the door in the hall was a golden national emblem with a diameter of about one meter, and three red flags were inserted on the ground in front of the wall.
Chen Dao rubbed his boots on the golden and red carpet on the ground. The uneasy Steiner smiled and said, "The feet feel very good, do you try it too?"
Corporal Steiner carefully raised his shiny boots and stepped on the ground a few times, then said to Chen Dao: "This is the most comfortable carpet I have ever stepped on."
The two of them chatted in a low voice without saying a word to relieve the tension in their hearts.
"Gentlemen, the Head of State will arrive soon." A SS captain walked into the hall and said.
The hall immediately became silent, and 10 soldiers from the navy, army and air force all raised their heads and chests, waiting for Hitler to appear.
Chen Dao and Corporal Steiner stood side by side in the back of the line. On Chen Dao's left were seven officers and soldiers from the army, and on the right of Corporal Steiner was a naval captain. The comparison of the number of people in the team and the position clearly reflected the status of the three German armies.
Chen Dao looked at the door without squinting, but the corner of his eyes kept paying attention to the door. Soon, the SS captain standing at the door shouted: "Salute."
As soon as Chen Dao raised his right hand, Hitler walked into the hall. He waved his right hand casually and replied to the Nazi party's hand-raising ceremony.
Chen Dao put down his right hand and looked at Hitler from the corner of his eyes. Hitler was wearing black pants, black leather shoes, a yellowish top, and a first-class iron cross on his left chest.
Among the seven or eight people following Hitler, Chen Dao recognized the fat Goering, the thin and withered Goebbels, the square-faced deputy head of state Hess, and a national leader of the SS, wearing a black uniform, glasses, and a beard similar to Hitler.
Hitler began to award medals from the far left side of the team, and his adjutant followed him to explain the battle deeds of the award-winning officers and soldiers one by one.
Finally, Hitler finished commending medals to the seven officers and soldiers of the army. He walked to Chen Dao and stretched out his right hand. Chen Dao raised his right hand and held it tightly with Hitler's right hand, and took the opportunity to look at Hitler's appearance.
Seeing Hitler's iconic mustache and black hair combed to the right, Chen Dao almost blurted out: "First of the People, I finally saw you who is alive."
After holding back the heartfelt words, Chen Dao and Hitler looked at each other and found that Hitler's eyes were very gentle and smiling. There was no legendary "monarchy and domineering spirit". He could not arouse his urge to bow to him and be willing to be a younger brother.
Hitler's adjutant was about to introduce Chen Dao, but Hitler took back his right hand and stopped him: "I know him, Major Heinz von Rosen, battalion commander of the 7th Air Defense Battalion of the Air Force."
After saying that, Hitler kept silent, his eyes fell on the bandage above Chen Dao's head, and then slid over Chen Dao's left arm and landed on Chen Dao's curled right leg.
Hitler's hoarse voice broke the silence in the hall. He stared at Chen Dao and said slowly: "Tell the head of state that I have tried my best; tell my dear Aida that her uncle Heinz still loves her; for the honor of the Luftwaffe, I will not be captured. Dr. Goebbels, do you think these words can impress you?"
Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda, who followed Hitler, quickly said: "Of course, my head of state. I suggest publishing these three sentences in military magazines. I firmly believe that these three sentences will move Germany."
"Since that's the case, what are you waiting for? Just do it today, remember, add a sentence that you cannot escape war as a soldier. This sentence was also said by Major Rosen." Hitler ordered.
"Although these three sentences are touching, I don't want to hear them from your mouth again, nor do I want to hear them from any German soldier again. I need you to return alive and win." Hitler said to Chen Dao.
"This time it was just an accident. I promise you that no enemy has the ability to let me say these three words."
"I think this sentence should be added, my head of state." Goebbels quickly wrote those sentences in a diary as big as a palm, and then suggested.
"Can."
After Hitler said that, he picked up a silver war wound medal from the box held by his servant beside him and put it under Chen Dao's left chest pocket. This medal was awarded to those who were injured three to four times in the battle.
Hitler picked up another second-level iron cross medal and put it on the first buttonhole of Chen Dao's military uniform. Then he gave Chen Dao an encouragement look and walked to Corporal Steiner.
The adjutant whispered the military achievements of Corporal Steiner. Chen Dao raised his ears and heard carefully: In the street battle in Kutno, the company where Corporal Steiner was located was ambushed by two Polish tanks and a large number of infantry soldiers. The company commander was seriously injured. Corporal Steiner rescued the seriously injured company commander with the fire of the Polish tanks and infantry machine guns, and then rushed to the side of the dead anti-tank team, picked up anti-tank guns to destroy the Polish tanks, and cooperated with his comrades to defeat the Polish infantry, and finally won the battle.
Hitler nodded repeatedly when he heard this, put a second-level iron cross on Corporal Steiner, and then encouraged Corporal Steiner a few words, then walked to the naval officer...
After the medal ceremony was completed, Chen Dao and others were taken to the restaurant for lunch with Hitler.
Hitler naturally sat in the main seat, and the rest of the people sat in sequence according to their identities and military ranks. After Hitler and others sat down, they cleared their throats and began to speak before the meal.
Hitler first talked about the Polish battle that had just ended, and then cursed the British and French governments that did not accept the German peace agreement, and then talked about their confidence in the prospects of the war...
At first, Chen Daogang held his breath and listened carefully, and then kept quietly raising his hand to look at the watch. In five or ten minutes, Hitler had no tendency to stop.
Chen Dao looked around the people on the dining table, and Corporal Steiner, who was sitting on his right, stared at the plate in front of him, biting his lower lip, dazed, as if there was a delicate and delicious steak placed on the plate.
Looking at the other award-winning officers and soldiers, Chen Dao found that they could not hold on anymore, either in a daze or drowsy manner.
The only two unique things on the dining table were Goebbels and Hitler. Hitler stared at Hitler intently, as if he wanted to engrave every word Hitler said in his heart. Goebbels nodded while listening, and also made several eye contact with Hitler from time to time. The admiration in his eyes erupted. Under Goebbels' stimulation, Hitler became increasingly dancing and dancing.
Chen Dao said with a bitter face and said in his heart that the head of state's domineering aura was not released at the right time, and this destructive power could be called a spiritual atomic bomb.
When he was hungry and frowned, Chen Dao thought about it and said that sitting and waiting for death was not the style of a bandit. Hitler's bad habits must be stopped. We must never tolerate Hitler's anti-human style like Himmler and Goebbels.
After listening for a moment, Chen Dao finally seized the opportunity. Hitler just said, "Since Britain and France refuse to accept our peace proposal, we must conquer them like we conquer Poland, first France, and then Britain."
Chen Dao suddenly shouted "Long live the head of state." Then he applauded.
Corporal Steiner, who was sitting on Chen Dao's right, was so scared that his whole body shook when Chen Dao shouted. Seeing Chen Dao clapping, he clapped in a daze.
Gorene was sitting on Hitler's right hand. As soon as Chen Dao spoke, he recognized Chen Dao's voice. When he heard Chen Dao applaud, Gorene's right eye moved upwards and then applauded.
Gorene, the second-ranked German figure, applauded, and the others on the dining table also applauded, and the restaurant was filled with applause for a moment.
Hitler stopped his speech, looked at the applause with confidence, enjoyed the pleasure of the stars holding the moon, and then raised his hands to signal everyone to stop.
Chen Dao put down his hands and waited for the applause to stop, not giving Hitler a chance to speak, and took the initiative to attack: "The French will not fight at all, we can kill it in up to eight weeks."
As soon as Chen Dao finished speaking, he enjoyed a highly anticipated treatment and instantly became the focus of everyone's attention on the dining table.
Chen Dao looked at several army officers and soldiers sitting opposite him without hesitation, and the eyes of both sides burst into sparks in the air.
The eyes of the army officers and soldiers made Chen Dao extremely dissatisfied. Chen Dao clearly interpreted the various meanings of "flattery", "outsider", "clown", "ignorance" and other meanings from their eyes.
Goering's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, and finally stopped on Hitler's face. His fat body twisted in the chair, trying to eliminate the anxiety in his heart. With great political sensitivity, he knew clearly that at most tomorrow, Chen Dao's "bold words" that "the French will not fight at all, we can kill them in up to eight weeks." will spread throughout Germany, and the German Air Force will become a laughing stock in the German military.
Germany fought against France in World War I for four years but failed to defeat France. Finally, it lost the war due to a revolution in China in 1918. This is a well-known fact. Twenty years later, a German air force major said in front of the German head of state that he would kill France in eight weeks. If this matter spread, it would definitely be rated as Germany's most touching German joke in 1939. Goering did not question this.
Gorene wished at this moment that it was an officer of the Army that said this so that he could stand up and laugh at the Army, but why was it you, my dear Heinz.
Goren's eyes were turned red and his eyes were turning, anxiously thinking about countermeasures, wanting to think of a way to make a comeback.
"Major Rosen, you just said that we can beat France in eight weeks, not eight months?" Goebbels asked Chen Dao with a smile.
Goering instantly glared at Goebbels. He had a bad relationship with Goebbels, and immediately heard that Goebbels was digging a hole for Chen Dao.
"I'm talking about eight weeks." Chen Dao turned his gaze to Goebbels. Although he felt that Goebbels seemed to have bad intentions, he still answered sincerely.
"My head, I think......" Goebbels said to Hitler excitedly, but was interrupted by Chen Dao.
"However," Chen Dao tapped his right hand on the table and said in contemplation: "I think if we do better, six weeks are possible, but for caution, it's still eight weeks."
This child was beyond help! Gorene covered his face with his hands in pain and lowered his head, not daring to look at his colleagues around him again.
Chen Dao keenly found that everyone on the table took a breath, wondering, Germany in history defeated France in six weeks, out of caution and fear of variables, he changed the six weeks to eight weeks. Is this date so difficult to convince everyone?
Goebbels looked at Gorene who was ashamed and afraid to look up, and a hint of smugness appeared on his face. Then he looked calm and said to Hitler: "My Head, I suggest that Major Rosen's words be published in the military magazine, so that they can boost morale."
"Oppose, this sentence cannot be published." Goering raised his head suddenly and retorted at Goebbels.
At this moment, Hitler finally came back to his senses from the shock that Chen Dao brought to him and said, "This sentence is cut off and it is not allowed to be published."
Goebbels' request was rejected by Hitler. He did not feel depressed at all. Instead, he smiled without showing any weakness and looked at Gorene, then said, "Yes, the Head of State."
"Major Rosen, France is a military power with the world's number one army and has a complete military industry. They are not Poland. However, your spirit is commendable. I think in the war against France, we need such fearless spirit as Major Rosen." Himmler, who had been silent, said after considering for a while.
"The world's number one army? Dear Mr. Himmler, do you believe this kind of lie? Throughout history, the French can only win battles under the leadership of Lolita like Joan of Arc or foreigners like Napoleon. Now the commander of France - the army is neither Lolita nor foreigners, and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning at all. I still firmly believe that we will defeat France in eight weeks." Chen Daoyu said unsurprisingly.
Joan of Arc is Loli! Napoleon is a foreigner! Everyone in the restaurant was shocked by Chen Dao again, and a common idea emerged from the same idea. Has Major Rosen really been to school? Which school did he graduate from? Don't be his own alumni?
Himmler rolled his eyes and stopped talking. Hitler cast a glimpse of praise at Chen Dao, which made Chen Dao inexplicable.
"Heinz, say less, this is in front of the head of state." Gorin finally couldn't help but speak to stop Chen Dao's "arrogance".
"Major Rosen, I have fought with the French for four years. Their fighting will is still very tenacious, but we are even more tenacious, we......" Hitler once again gave Chen Dao a complimentary look and then spoke.
Chen Dao was afraid that Hitler would give another stinky and long speech, and retorted without any shame: "The last French soldier was killed in the Napoleon era."
Hitler's right hand stopped in the air, and he was speechless for a long time before turning to Goebbels: "Dr. Goebbels, this sentence must be published in a magazine, and the arguments of the loli and foreigners just now are also very novel, so they must be published."
Goebbels quickly took out his small notebook and wrote it down, and did not forget to ask Chen Dao for advice: "Do you say Napoleon is not a Frenchman, but refers to the ownership of Corsica?"
Chen Dao nodded and said, "At that time, Corsica seemed to be independent from France, so it is still to be discussed whether Napoleon was a Frenchman."
"If the French dared to fight against the German army, we would destroy them as if they were to destroy these foods." Chen Dao continued to point to the food on the table.
"I'm hungry, can we have a meal?" When Chen Dao mentioned food, Golin was eager to change the topic, fearing that Chen Dao would talk nonsense again.
"Oh, okay, dinner." Hitler gave Goring a lot of face.
Master Chen let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself, this is him, is it easy to have a meal? I wasted so much saliva.
It's over! It's over! My image and the image of the Luftwaffe were completely destroyed today. From now on, the Luftwaffe will never be able to raise his head in front of the army and the navy. Goering tied his napkins with no face and started eating.
Chapter completed!
