Chapter 614 The Birth of a New Generation of Nazi Spy Kings
It was already the evening of October 11th when Chen Dao returned to Berlin.
Walking off the gangway of the plane, Chen Dao was surprised to see that Golin actually brought someone to pick him up.
Chen Dao followed Golin into the same Mercedes-Benz. Not long after the car started, Golin said, "Something happened in the past few days you left, you need to know."
Chen Dao asked: "Who instigated the head of state to destroy St. Petersburg?"
“As far as I know, no one has ever made such boring suggestions.”
"Hmph, I knew it was indeed a middle-aged disease in the head of state literature and art."
Goring said: "Don't care about such small things, let's talk about the main business. Canaris is the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, General Oster and General Dunani are the directors of two of the five departments under the Military Intelligence Bureau. After they were arrested, the work of the Military Intelligence Bureau was semi-paralyzed. The SS proposed that in order to improve the efficiency of the intelligence department, it was necessary to merge the Imperial Security Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau."
Chen Dao said: "They are going to annex the Military Intelligence Agency. They have a big appetite. What is the attitude of the head of state?"
"The head of state did not make any statement, just said that he would consider it and then ask for my opinion."
"How did you answer?" Chen Dao asked.
"I originally meant to object that the Military Intelligence Agency and the Imperial Central Security Agency are two departments, one externally and the other internally, and the relationship is similar to the British MI6 and MI5."
“It’s also similar to the relationship between the CIA and the FBI.”
"Yes, so it's completely unreasonable to merge these two departments. The SS side simply wants to take the opportunity to expand its power. However, I remembered another thing, and I think the SS side's suggestions are not unconsiderable."
Chen Dao was very curious.
"What can make you make such a big concession?"
"Did you forget that you are also a member of the SS, with the rank of major general?"
Seeing Gorene's ambiguous smile, Chen Dao asked vigilantly: "What do you want to do?"
"I mean, you can assign the Military Intelligence Agency to the SS, but you have to be the director, and then you will be divided into powers from the Imperial Central Security Bureau, the Military Intelligence Agency is external, and the Imperial Central Security Bureau is internal."
"I am not interested in this kind of work walking in dark corners, nor will the Head of State agree."
"We always have to fight for it, what if it succeeds? In short, we can't let the chicken farmer annex the Military Intelligence Agency."
The owner of the chicken farmer is Himmler's nickname. Goring used this nickname to Himmler at this time, which shows that he was extremely dissatisfied with Himmler's behavior.
"I think about it before talking about it, don't mention this matter to the Head of State for now." Chen Dao said.
While the two were chatting, the convoy drove into the city of Berlin and arrived at the Supreme Commander of the Thiel Gardens.
Walking into Hitler's office in the Supreme Command, Goering and Chen Dao were surprised to see that Himmler was also there.
Chen Dao respectfully saluted Hitler.
"My Head, by your order, I have erased Leningrad from the map, and come back to report to you now."
Chen Dao said, opening the briefcase he carried with him, taking out a map and spreading it on Hitler's desk.
Chen Dao pointed to the Baltic coast on the map, where Leningrad was located.
Hitler looked down at the map, Himmler and Goring also looked at the map, but saw that in the location of Leningrad on the map, part of the map was cut off, revealing the white paper part below.
On the white paper section, there is a line of German letters written in pencil, St. Petersburg.
Chen Dao pointed to the German letters and said, "This part of the map was originally marked Leningrad. I followed your order and erased it from the map and changed it to St. Petersburg. The task is completed, please check it."
Hitler scratched his right cheek: "·······"
Himmler pushed his glasses: "······"
Goring closed his hairstyle: "······"
Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, Chen Dao continued, "If you don't speak, I will regard it as the result of your recognition of my work. Now let's talk about the second thing, which bastard encourages you to completely destroy this city? Don't he know that St. Petersburg will be the most valuable logistics base for the Northern Army Group? Tell me his name, the small cleaning incident is not over yet, and it is just possible to add that person's name to the cleaning list."
Goring said, "Is there such a thing? Is this a joke?"
Hitler first coughed a few times and said to Chen Dao: "Herman is right. I am just kidding. An important port like St. Petersburg is the material transfer station we need. Of course I will not destroy him. My previous orders were just casual words, don't take it seriously, no one encouraged me."
Gorene curled his lips.
Sure enough, Heinz was unfortunately told, and the head of state's literary and middle-aged disease broke out again.
Goring looked at the erased Leningrad on the map.
The head of state's middle-aged disease of literature and art can indeed be cured only by people like Heinz who have the attributes of literary youth. Neither of these two people's behavior can be measured by normal human thinking.
However, if Heinz grows to become a middle-aged literary life in the future, will he also suffer from the "middle-aged literary life" like the head of state? By that time, who will treat him?
Hitler could not feel Gorene's sense of crisis, so he changed his mind and said to the three of them: "Let's discuss a serious matter. Heincili suggested that the Military Intelligence Agency be merged with the Imperial Central Security Agency to improve work efficiency. You know this matter Hermann."
Goring nodded and glanced at Himmler, who happened to see Himmler looking at him too.
"I know about this. After I went back and thought carefully, I thought Heinrich's proposal made sense."
Himmler looked at Gorene in confusion.
When did this guy become so easy to talk?
Hearing Goring's answer, Hitler was very happy and said with a smile: "Herman and I have the same view. I decided to classify the Military Intelligence Agency into the SS system, with the SS sent people to serve as the director, but the staff below should try to have them in all branches of the service."
Himmler was overjoyed. He didn't expect that this matter would be passed so easily, and happiness would be so easy.
Himmler's smile had just taken shape on his face when he heard Hitler ask, "Heinz, what position do you hold in the SS now? What is your military rank? How long have you been working?"
"I am now the General SS Consultant, Major General of the Army, and I have been working for two years."
Hitler stared at Himmler and said, "I can see the development of the SS. I highly recognize Heinrich's work ability. Heinz, you, also contributed greatly to the advisor, especially the concept of the three representatives. But Heinz has been in the SS for two years and is still a major general, which is not worth it."
Himmler hurriedly said: "I have decided to promote Heinz to Lieutenant General, but he is often on the front line, so he has not had time to hold the promotion ceremony."
"Very good, this is the promotion he deserves. After the promotion ceremony, Heinz, you will be the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau as Lieutenant General of the SS."
Himmler was choked by an oversized egg, and his face instantly turned blue and white.
Goering was surprised that he had not mentioned to the Head of State that Heinz would be the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Head of State actually made the same decision.
Could it be that the head of state sent someone to have a wiretap in his heart? Eavesdropping on his own voice?
Seeing that Himmler and Goring were shocked by their decision, Himmler received the expected results, and immediately asked Himmler with a smile.
"Heinrich, do you have different opinions if you don't express your opinion?"
"I...My Head, your mind is indeed wise. My original plan was to be promoted to Lieutenant General Heinz and let him serve as Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Unexpectedly, you said it first, and I agree with your decision."
Hitler did not mean to ask Gorene, and said bluntly: "Since no one objected, this matter is settled."
Chen Dao said loudly: "I object. As a general, commanding the army to kill tens of thousands of enemies on the front line is the most important thing to do. I don't want to do dark jobs like spies. Moreover, I have multiple positions and can't be busy at all. It won't take long to set off for India and have no time to start the work of the Intelligence Agency."
"Heinz, young people should not make excuses to shirke responsibility. The excuses you mentioned do not exist at all. You are the commander of the Imperial Marshal Division, but when you were not in the Imperial Marshal Division for a long time, did that General Mandofir also commanded the Imperial Marshal Division to make great achievements?
As the Governor of Poland, you have not been in Poland for a long time. Isn’t the Government of the Polish Governor’s Government also handled Poland’s government affairs very well?
As the commander of the Naval Air Force, you have not been in the Naval Air Force Command for a long time. Isn’t your chief of staff General Leibniz also taking care of the Naval Air Force's work well?"
Long-term absence ·· Long-term absence ··· Long-term absence ···· Long-term absence ····
Hitler said three times in a row that he was "absent for a long time". Chen Dao felt under great pressure. Is he talking about his position as a vain?
Hitler then said the fourth "long-term absence".
"So, Heinz, even if you are not in Germany for a long time, you have the ability to handle the work of the Military Intelligence Agency. Also, you forgot that you have the ability to do this. Who provided us with information on the KV series and T-34 tanks? Who sent us 007, the spy named James Bond, who sent us the top secret information on the oil reserves in the Middle East? Is it the Military Intelligence Agency? Is it the Imperial Central Security Agency? It's not. It's you, Heinz, you sent us this precious intelligence. So, don't refuse, it's you."
Hitler wanted to make a decision, but Chen Dao did not retreat.
"Intelligence work is a thankless job. If I want to take this position, I must agree to two conditions. If I don't agree, I will not take over."
"What are the conditions you said?"
Chen Dao said: "First, the powers of the Military Intelligence Agency and the Imperial Central Security Bureau must be clearly divided. They are secret policemen. I think their energy should be mainly focused on maintaining domestic security. The Military Intelligence Agency mainly focuses on foreign countries. Everyone should try to interfere with the other party's actions as little as possible. They are all SS systems and do not use internal friction. I hate internal fighting."
Hitler said: "This is what I agree with. What is your second condition?"
"I'm very unfamiliar with intelligence work. I hope that the leaders of the country can draw some people from the Imperial Central Security Bureau to cooperate with me in carrying out the work."
Hitler looked at Himmler, and Himmler hurriedly said, "How many people do you need? I'll arrange it when I go back."
The candidate for the new director of the Military Intelligence Bureau was confirmed, and Himmler said goodbye and left.
Hitler sighed, his mood suddenly became depressed.
"The day after tomorrow is the day when those traitors are executed. I look back on the past, I met Canaris after the beer riot. He was a loyal supporter of the national socialist philosophy. I just don't know why he suddenly became like this?
He said that if Germany was defeated, it would undoubtedly be a disaster. But if Germany defeated, I would bring greater disaster to Germany, so he would do everything possible to prevent Germany from winning.
What exactly is wrong with this? Why did he have such strange thoughts? I was very sad about Canaris' betrayal, so a key department like the Military Intelligence Agency must place a 100% loyal person. Heinz, only you are suitable, I can only trust you."
