Battle of the Third Reich

Citroen continued to walk along the asphalt road. On the right hand side was the huge atrium garden. In the early years, large shrubs were planted here. The gardener carefully trimmed the beautiful geometric patterns. However, in order to save maintenance costs, the shrubs were mostly shoveled. All that was left was an empty lawn.

However, this is also convenient for the RSD to arrange the defense line. No one can escape the surveillance of the sentry and quietly cross the open field. Kyle knew that on the edge of the pine forest on the right, two machine gun squads were ambushed. The soldiers built a hidden fire point behind the withered bushes, and the shooting range could completely cover the central garden.

The cross firepower composed of six MG40 machine guns can easily repel the company-level infantry impact and turn this open space into a death trap.

The limousine drove onto the central branch road. This two-lane asphalt horse traverses the entire manor from south to north, separating the main body of the manor from the front courtyard of the atrium.

The Duolun manor was originally built in the ninth century AD. It was originally a hunting lodge in the woodland. Until the end of the thirteenth century, Count Adolf von Vodock of Utrecht bought the land in its current position. A small castle with a moat and three towers was built. At that time, the land belonged to the domain of the Duke of Burgundy, but actually controlled the Holy Roman Empire.

In 1322, in a common noble raid, the castle was captured and destroyed by opponents, and it was rebuilt after 25 years of desolation. In the next 400 years, it has been As a feudal mansion of a knight, the residential function gradually overshadowed the military role.

In the eighteenth century, the entire manor was renovated, preserving the original distribution pattern, new buildings were built on the original site, and the popular English style garden was added at that time, and the old Duolun manor was reborn.

This manor is owned by Doran City Councillor Franz La Bush. Many Dutch nobles have lived here, including the Baroness Ella Van Heemstra, who spent her happy childhood here. , Her daughter is the famous movie star Audrey Hepburn.

The main building of the manor was built on the location of the original castle. The designer specially set up a moat on the side, and the whole building was located on the small island in the center. This design completely preserves the feudal style of the medieval aristocracy, in addition to the daily fire and anti-theft, it also has a hint of flaunting. After all, not every manor can have such a long history.

The main building is a three-storey villa-style building, half of the ground floor is buried underground, and only two and a half floors are exposed on the ground. The bottom floor is the kitchen, storage room, and servant's residence, and the owner's area is the second floor and above.

The building has a concave shape when viewed from the top. The door is in the middle of the gap, and there are twelve steps made of cement bricks in front of the door.

In the summer, the red brick outer wall was covered with green vines, but at this time, they were all withered. In order not to hinder the view of the head of state, Kyle also specially found someone to renovate and clean up. Now the whole building The appearance looks as new as it was just made.

Before the car had time to stop, Kyle had jumped off Citroen, and he quickly ran up the steps in front of the door and stopped before the gate with the arched lintel.

The captain took two deep breaths, then lightly knocked on the light blue framed glass grille door. The person in the room must have discovered his arrival long ago, the door opened immediately, and a man wearing a straight Prussian army officer dress appeared in front of Kyle.

"Good morning, are you all ready? Colonel Wagel." Kyle saluted an army salute to the other party.

"Good morning, Captain Kyle, as you answered on the phone before, everything is ready," the colonel said after returning the gift.

"Your Majesty?"

"In his office." Wagel deflected and gave way to the door.

"I won't go in again, Colonel, please tell your majesty right away, the head of state has left, and it can take up to fifteen minutes from his station." Kyle took off his military cap and took out his handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his forehead.

"Do you mean that the time is ahead? My God, I will immediately notify your Majesty." Wagel agreed quickly.

"Please hurry up, I will wait outside the door." Kyle put on a military hat, saluted the other party with a military salute, then turned and ran down the steps, he still has a lot of units to contact immediately.

"I think it's a shameless thing to do, what do you think." The head of empire handed a telegram to Brauchic beside him.

"I fully support your opinion, my head of state." Brauchic took the telegram and nodded vigorously in agreement.

"I don't understand exactly what the chairman is thinking, but they are still under Japanese aggression." Brauchic looked down at the telegram: "Are you ready to disclose your attitude to this matter to the outside world, We can hold a press conference."

"No..." Xu Jun tapped his temples gently with his fingers. "I can't make a public statement, Brauchic. The German government can't be involved in this internal struggle for a while, let's say we need Chinese resources and labor." Xu Jun opened the small cabinet in the middle of the seat and took a cigar out of the cigar box. He picked up the lighter aside.

"It's true, I didn't think about this, my head, your decision was extremely wise, but... I have read the report of Major Stoffenberg before..." Brauchic hesitated.

"I know what you are worrying about, Lord Marshal, in fact don't care about that thing at all. I believe in Stauffenberg's ability, he will make all his hands and tails clean. Besides, even if they are noticed by Chongqing, they can How about taking us?" Xu Jun finished igniting the cigar with a cigarette lighter. After taking a few deep breaths, he exhaled a large cloud of smoke out of the window.

"Compared to Chongqing, the Japanese may have caused us this Earl more trouble." The head of state said, scratching his nose.

"Otherwise, bring him back. My head, the headquarter is in need of a capable officer like Earl." Brauchic suggested.

"No, according to his report, Staufenberg has already opened up the situation locally, and it is a pity to transfer him back now. I think he is simply letting go of his hands and feet and doing a big job in China, what we should do now , Is to become his most staunch supporter." Xu Jun made up his mind, he raised his fist against Brauchich.

"There is no doubt that I will obey your will, my head of state." The commander-in-chief expressed loyalty as always, and at the same time handed the telegram back to the head of state.

"Everything is wrong, Jiangnan Yiye..." Xu Jun took the telegram and tucked it into the breast pocket of his uniform. After a long sigh, he turned and looked out the window.

"What did you say just now, my head of state." Blauchic's eyes widened, and His Excellency Commander did not understand Chinese at all.
