Battle of the Third Reich - v6 Chapter 357

As for His Majesty Caesar, Xu Jun was very interested in him personally. As a former supreme decision maker of the Empire, William II possessed a large number of secrets that only the parties knew. With his death in history, these secrets were brought into the grave, leaving a bunch of unsolved mysteries for historians of later generations.

This proud Caesar dreamed of restoring his empire until his death, and even he did not hesitate to lower his posture and wrote a letter to pat the **** of the former army corporal.

Hitler was not a person who could be moved by a few words of compliment. Even though he had admired the king in his youth, the emperor had fallen from the high altar after a fiasco in one battle. Hitler’s attitude towards the old aristocracy gradually changed with the improvement of his personal status. In the face of the new power of the old German aristocracy, only a handful of people could retain their ethics. This is where Hitler despised these people most. This contempt finally extended to the emperor they supported.

The rise of the Nazi Party relied on co-opting and inciting low-level civilians, but if you want to control the power of a country and maintain the operation of the entire national system, you must obtain the support of the upper elite, so until the outbreak of the European War, this head of state I have been trying to control the balance between the two classes.

To this end, he continued the policies of the Weimar Republic in the treatment of the old royal family, and paid a royal allowance on time every month, enough for the emperor to live a relaxed and comfortable life in exile.

It took more than ten years for the Weimar Republic to erase the traces of the emperor’s existence, because no matter the media smeared or deprived the nobles of the title, the noble class of the Second Empire remained intact. Many people are still die-hard diehards of the Prussian royal family, and every day is dreaming of restoring the former empire and welcoming their exiled emperor.

The key generals of the German Wehrmacht almost participated in the First World War. They also swore allegiance to the emperor. Their nostalgia and attachment to the glory of the old empire did not diminish because of the rise of the Third Reich, but because of the German army. With successive victories on the battlefield, these nostalgic emotions have grown with each passing day.

For the Nazi Party, these unrealistic ideas are obviously a serious threat to the Nazi regime. Most Nazi leaders from the grassroots class will never tolerate the resurgence of the old forces, and they will not tolerate the aristocracy. The power in their own hands has taken away the “revolutionary achievements” they have worked hard to obtain.

Therefore, Hitler will never allow the Second Empire to be restored. In his view, the decay and depravity of the old imperial regime, plus an incompetent emperor and a group of stupid generals, and “dark arrows” from domestic enemies, these factors are combined in Together, it eventually led to the defeat of the country he loved.

All of the above just proved the glory and correctness of his ideological theory and the existing policies of the Nazi Party. As a symbol of the old empire, William II will continue to bring out the wiseness and great shores of the empire’s head as long as he is still alive in the world for a day. Hitler pretended to be a sympathizer for the royal family only to lure the royalists to cooperate with the Nazis.

Xu Jun did not have the veteran sentiment of Hitler. He had not experienced World War I. He just tried to understand the emperor from the mouths of generals and marshals, and from the archives collected by the Berlin Chancellery. In fact, these files are not complete. In order to evade the responsibilities that should be undertaken, most of the correspondence and meeting records have been destroyed by the emperor.

This time the new head of state would like to meet with William II, not because of the impulse, but after a thoughtful decision. As a true dictator, Xu Jun will not allow the emperor to be restored now, and Germany will no longer be able to restore the dual rule of the old empire, especially when facing the extremely cruel Eastern Front.

But Xu Jun would still take back the Caesar and even prepare to take him back to the clouds, but in his plan the emperor only existed as a mascot of the country and a souvenir of the rise of the German Empire.

In addition to enjoying the honorable status that the royal family deserves, William can no longer have any substantial power. It can be said that there is no chance to become a puppet.

The Hohenzollern royal family is an insurance that Xu Jun left behind for Germany in the future. He is well aware that the dictatorship is a double-edged sword. Even now he is always addicted to the unlimited power in his hands. Xu Jun cannot dare to guarantee His successor can resist the temptation and corruption from power.

He was worried that the European Union system and world balance pattern he had built would fall apart because of the stupidity of a successor. So Xu Jun is not prepared to leave his successor the same supreme authority. He envisages to restore the functions of the German parliament at an appropriate time. At the same time, he will share the power in his hands and re-establish the separation of powers. Constitutional system. At that time, the existence of the German royal family was a weapon that Xu Jun used to restrict the power of parliament.

Of course, the premise of all these problems is that he can win the war he is about to face, otherwise these are still just empty talk.

Xu Jun admires Franco in the transition of power. No matter what the dictator has done, there is no doubt that he is a patriot. Franco returned the power to the Spanish royal family. Not only did he successfully retain the political achievements of the dictatorship, but also maintain the stability of the country and society, and avoid the political turmoil caused by the handover of power.

On the other hand, if Hitler died suddenly and no other heirs were appointed, the dictator’s crown would most likely fall into Goring’s hands. At that time, neither the National Defense Army, the SS, nor the Nazi seniors will tolerate this stupid pig in charge. The power of the empire predicts that an extremely tragic power struggle will erupt in Germany.

If Xu Jun won the support of the National Defence Forces and the SS in this life, and if the Gorings left early, he would definitely not be able to sit on the throne so smoothly, while inheriting the political legacy left by Hitler, Germany may even explode. A civil war.

At ten o’clock in the morning, Xu Jun got on his Mercedes-Benz 770k, hugged by the guard flag team, and left the manor station specially prepared for him by the Dutch government.

This time the German head of state came to the Netherlands, not by plane, but by his head train.

The head train of the Americas, which originally belonged to Hitler, finally completed the refurbishment in early January. This trip was the first task performed by this armored train after it left the repair plant. This modification project was quite huge, and it took three months to complete. According to Randolph, even a bolt was refurbished.

The locomotive was replaced with the type 1081 of the drb03 series, which is a model specially designed by Deutsche Bahn for high-speed express trains. It adopts an aerodynamic and streamlined appearance, with a power output of 2,090 horsepower and a maximum speed of 150 per hour. Ten kilometers, when towing a 500-ton car, it can still fly at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. This was quite amazing data in the front of the same class in Europe at that time. The 52-type head used in the original train has a maximum speed of only 80 kilometers per hour and a power of only more than 1,500 horsepower.

The entire train, including the front, includes a total of fifteen knots. The power group still uses two serial heads, and then an armored anti-aircraft carriage is mounted on each end of the train. Two doors are installed in each anti-aircraft carriage The four-unit 37mm anti-aircraft guns have never been used in the anti-aircraft firepower in the real history of the heads. Xu Jun expects that this record will not be broken on his own side.

Behind the anti-aircraft gun is a luggage cart, which is used to store the carry-on luggage of the head and senior subordinates. Behind the luggage cart is the head coach’s private compartment, with the head and guard’s bedroom, private office, and exclusive toilet.

Behind the headquarter car is the command car. There is a conference room and radio communication room. The head of state can hold military meetings in this car and issue orders directly to the outside world. Behind the command car is a high-level attendant car, which is exclusively used by the accompanying senior officials. This time Brauchich and Himmler lived in this car.

There is a dining car behind the high-class car, and the front car is exclusively used by the heads of state and high-class escorts, while the common car diners eat in another dining car at the rear, which reveals the rank difference in the army. At the back of the higher dining car are two ordinary cars. The first section is a rest room for officials to smoke and chat. The back is the entourage office, which is responsible for routine business.

Behind the office compartment is the shower compartment, which can provide hot water for bathing 24 hours, behind the shower compartment is another dining car, and then there are two sleeper compartments. The ordinary attendants and the soldiers of the guard flag team live Among the two carriages, the last are two stuffed-tank trucks used to store cabin baggage and accompanying vehicles, and an armored anti-aircraft carriage of the same model as the vehicle head is hung at the rear.

After the outbreak of the Eastern Front in history, the train was renamed “Brandenburg”. Xu Jun felt that the name “America” ​​sounded good, so there was no plan to rename it.

There are many benefits of taking the train. In addition to being safer and more comfortable than the plane, you can also bring more attendants and equipment. In addition to his head of state, Xu Jun also brought a group of officers from the command headquarters and the army staff.

As for Himmler, this guy posted it at the last minute. Xu Jun looked at the fact that he had always shown loyalty and immediately agreed to his accompanying request.

In addition to the head guard flag team and a platooned armored grenadier, Himmler’s private guard and plainclothes agents of the General Security Bureau were also involved in the defense work. Of course, these latter people are not eligible to squeeze in the heads of train. Another train belongs to the “Africa” ​​number of the headquarters.

ps: Thank you for your support. During this time, things are going to die. I am so busy every day that I am working hard to recover.
