Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 6 Chapter 158: Reception banquet (two in one

This kind of reception is just a public relations tool. The upper class considers to envelop people, and the lower class take the opportunity to connect with each other. Everyone takes what they need, and it is totally a matter of joy.

Although nearly a thousand people are eligible to participate in the banquet, there are three teachings and nine streams, and the people are divided into three, six, nine, etc. Even if they are fellow blood, there are also distant relatives, so people with honorable status or close empire relations are arranged in the indoor restaurant. However, those media people like third-rate tabloids can only blow at the table in the patio at the door. It's just that the head of state will come to meet these people later. For these little people, this is already a glorious deed enough to boast for a while.

Accompanying the German head of state were several well-known Nazi officials, such as the Minister of Propaganda Goebbels and the Minister of the Interior Himmler, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ribbentrop, the head of the head of the office Martin Borman, and There are the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Rader, and the two marshals of the army, Brauchic and Kettle.

As for the Berlin city government and Nazi administrative officials, they are not yet qualified to appear with the head of state, and they can only stay with the group of media figures early in the restaurant and wait. These people are also the most excited group on the scene. After a lapse of half a year, they finally waited for this opportunity to have a room together with the new head of state.

During Hitler's tenure as head of state, they were often able to accompany the head of state and participate in various large-scale activities. This is a proof of the party's status and seniority. Most people are proud of it.

Hitler was suddenly killed in France, many of them were shocked in the subsequent general cleansing, some lost their official positions, and some died of their lives, but it is already commonplace in the Nazi Party, which has suffered fierce internal struggles. thing. If you don’t believe it, you can go back and look at the stormtroopers. It was so unprecedented that year. The result was not overturned to the ground overnight, and the blood was cleaned from the boss to the backbone.

Reinhardt von Stadt has always been low-key in the party, but if he does not have a few abilities and means, how can he become the deputy head of the Nazi party and gain the favor and trust of Hitler.

After taking over, the new head of state issued many orders that conflicted with previous Nazi ideas, but no one in the party expressed any objection to this, because the head of state is the country, and he has the power to modify policies and ideas. To really count, Hitler did not do such a thing that year. In order to consolidate Nazi rule and attract domestic power, Hitler personally overthrew many of the political ideals and remarks he had proposed earlier.

"Long live the heads of state!" Party officials in various districts of Berlin, dressed in uniforms of brown Nazi administrative officials, raised their right arms to declare loyalty to their leaders. These people may not have good abilities, but they are indeed a solid foundation for Xu Jun’s rule. The Nazi Party grassroots organizations they operate and manage have penetrated into every community and family. They are Xu Jun’s ears and eyes in society. Many times These grassroots organizations perform better than the Gestapo of the General Security Administration.

This is not a joke. The Gestapo, a subordinate of the General Administration of Security, has only a formal establishment of more than 20,000 detectives, and 100,000 non-staff hires, so-called secret agents. However, even if these people are spread across the German territory and occupied areas, I am afraid that even a splash of water will not splash. In fact, many German towns are not equipped with Gestapo at all. The Nazi Party’s supervision and management of the local area rely on these grassroots organizations. .

There is a very clear administrative structure within the Nazi Party. The head of state has the supreme power. All people must unconditionally obey his will and orders. The second layer is the heads of the ministries and allies, government ministers and national leaders, Ge Pell and Borman belong to this class.

The third level is the Nazi Party regional supervision. Each regional leader is responsible for the management and operation of the Nazi Party organizations in the four administrative regions (states). Each state has a state leader. The following is divided into district leaders. Next is the place. The leader of the group is responsible for the management of the Nazi Party in a town. The group is divided into multiple branches under the supervision of the branch, which is responsible for the management of one or several residential communities. Below the branch is the block supervision, which directly corresponds to a single street or even a building. At the bottom of the facility are ordinary Nazi party members, who also have the responsibility of monitoring the speeches and thoughts of surrounding people, such as neighbors and colleagues.

The Nazi Party organization as a whole has a tree structure with a clear division of labor, and it is the head of empire in front of him who controls everything at the tip of the tree.

The Germans' adoration of authority and collectivism are entirely the result of decades of spiritual construction by the Nazis. In the Second Empire period, the Germans had no such consciousness at all. Rather than saying that the Second Empire is a unified state, it is better to say that it is a federal state under the hood of the empire. The unlucky emperor highly valued his control over the lower administrative states, and also underestimated those local nobles and politicians to maintain personal With the determination of interests, the Second Empire finally turned the war into a ghost. In addition to the problems at the level of strategic command, the state governments and the imperial center played a very important role in scrambling and internal friction.

The Nazis succeeded in allowing the Germans, to be precise, that most of the young and middle-aged people in Germany reached unity. For the first time, the German nations were truly united. At the same time, the Nazis used party organizations at all levels to successfully transfer power from the administrative states. In the hands of the local council, the local administration was under the unified management of the central government, so that the moment before the collapse of the Nazis, the local government of Germany was still firmly controlled by the Nazi party.

"That fat man is the newly appointed director of the Berlin West District Labor Office. I had dinner with him last week." Wakewood showed off to his new friends how widespread his social circle is.

"It looks like you know a lot of government officials, Mr. Wakewood." the gray-haired gentleman who was identified as a "big man" by the other party whispered.

"Of course, they heard that I was going to do their personal interview, and all of them were very happy." Wakewood said triumphantly.

"Hush!" A blond middle-aged man at the same table signaled that they would stop whispering. Wickwood wanted to give back something, but then he saw the gold Nazi party emblem pinned to his chest. Obviously it was a The veteran Nazi Party members, so Mr. Reporter chose to shut up wisely.

The German head of state is standing on the podium set up on the side of the restaurant at the moment, giving a wonderful and emotional speech, and it is no wonder that Wickwood's whispering will be waited for by others. This Nazi party member has shown enough gentlemen If you want to change the SS or the stormtroopers on the side, you definitely want Wickwood directly.

"Peace is a very important asset for each of us. We must cherish this hard-won peace. I have no intention to judge the war that has just ended. To be honest, I am the beneficiary of the war. I believe there are many people here. People benefited from the war." Xu Jun smiled with his hands on the platform.

So this not-so-humorous joke immediately caused the following group of Nazi officials to laugh, which was originally exclusive to Hitler's treatment, and now it is Xu Jun's turn to enjoy it.

"Our ideals are sacred, our goals are clear, we are willing to maintain the peace in exchange for the blood of countless soldiers at all costs, and we are willing to maintain the new European order at all costs in order to To ensure the continued stability and development of Europe, we are willing to accept challenges from any side." Xu Jun raised his fist and waved in front of his chest.

"Germany will keep its promises and swear in the name of God that the treaties we have signed are sacred and inviolable. Germany will never unilaterally tear up the diplomatic agreements and covenants it has signed. This is a point I particularly want to emphasize." The head of state Shaking the index finger.

Xu Jun’s speech was for the media, and it carried a lot of information that the people wanted to know. Although these contents have been elaborated in the government announcement, the words spoken by the head of state have more credibility for the people.

The media editors and reporters listened carefully to Xu Jun's speech. Some people quickly made notes on their notebooks. Some old fritters even brought shorthand typewriters and crackled directly on the desktop.

"We all know that war is cruel and will cause countless tragedies. We will not be obsessed with war, but we will not be afraid of war. If some countries want to impose war on the European people, they must first follow The German Wehrmacht trampled on the body." The head of the empire waved obliquely downward, like a knight cutting off the enemy's head.

"I hope that war will never break out in Europe again, and I hope that those tragedies will never be repeated in this land. Women will no longer lose their husbands and sons, and children can wait for their parents to return every day. I hope that the world will be prosperous and stable, and I hope that humanity will survive and prosper in a peaceful and peaceful environment." The German head of state seemed to shimmer with holy light.

"Don't talk about the content first, at least he has a good eloquence like his predecessor." Wickwood couldn't help but whisper.

"Hush!" Then the Nazi party member's glare was exchanged, and Wakewood narrowed his neck unnaturally.

"Here I want to announce that this is what everyone has been expecting about the military parade for peace." Xu Jun took over a document from the adjutant.

"Originally scheduled for this month, but for some well-known reasons, this parade can only be postponed. Now after consultations between several countries, we finally decided that it will be on January 1 next year, which is the new year. On the first day of the year, this parade to celebrate the end of the European War was held in Berlin. The choice has two meanings on this day. We hold this parade on the first day of the New Year, which heralds the arrival of permanent peace in Europe, and it is also in Say goodbye to the war in 1940, and the European countries will never fight again." Xu Jun waved his document.

"Many of you are journalists and editors from the major media. I hope you can pass on what I said tonight to the people of all countries. Here, I welcome everyone to this banquet in my own name. I hope you all I will have a good appetite tonight and enjoy the next delicious feast." Finally, the head of state concluded his pre-feast speech with a greeting.

He did not mix too much political speech in his speech, such as the Nazi ideology and living space, and he did not mention any clichés such as racism and anti-Semitism. Otherwise, many people might be lost. Appetite.

After three victories again, the banquet that everyone looked forward to finally began. People in this year are more real, saying that it is a dinner party that can really make people eat, unlike the sloppy reception banquets of the later generations, you have to fill up a bowl of instant noodles after opening home.

This is a formal six-course banquet before and after Zhenger's Eight Classics. German meals are known for their sufficient quantity. At this time, food rations were still implemented throughout the country. Although there was a food crisis this year, the contents of the German people's tables are still very good. rich. It’s just meat. Each German distributes only 500 grams per week, so it’s obviously impossible to bite pork legs and sausages like the future generations. The most common staple food on the German table It is still a potato that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years.

There are many foreign journalists here. Of course, the Germans will not bring out the pot of national dish soup. It is a Nazi invention. It is a pot of German chowder soup with simple ingredients on the street. The citizens only need to pay a few fen Nepal can drink a bowl, and the money will be used as a charitable fund-raising donation to help poor residents survive the winter. In fact, this has become an activity used by the Nazis to show the spirit of national solidarity. The former bioman Jack once drank national dish soup for the purpose of show. According to the memory of that person, the taste seems to be okay. , At least quite enough.

Unlike the twelve-person large table in the Chinese Ballroom, the tables in the Prime Minister’s Ballroom are not large. They are divided into round tables and square tables, and they can seat four to six people. Xu Jun’s table is the largest one inside, surrounded by high-ranking military and political officials, Goebbels on the left, Himmler on the right, and Blauchitch sitting directly opposite, and Marshal Redell on the side. .

The banquet dishes are quite traditional, nothing more than potatoes, beef, pork legs, sausages, poached eggs, and grilled chicken. The Germans had never had any food culture. When the Romans drank oatmeal with cured pork, the Germans were still drinking blood in the Black Forest. The so-called Germanic dishes of the later generations were all copied from the Romans, not fried. Baking is stewing, anyway, it is the same as Western food and beverage.

Unlike his predecessor who hates tobacco and alcohol, Xu Jun is a bogeyman. He wants to eat a bite when he sees anything. He likes to smoke cigars. He also has a good drink and good eloquence, so the atmosphere on the table is harmonious.

In the eyes of foodies, everything in the world is only divided into two types: delicious and unpalatable. Goebbels is clearly in the column of unpalatable, not because he is the minister of the empire, but because he is too thin. Will firewood. This is of course a joke. These two months were the most comfortable period for the empire’s Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. The empire won an unprecedented huge victory. As a witness of history, he was fortunate to witness the entire rise of the empire. process.

He was aware of the danger of this war before, but as Hitler's best friend, the propaganda minister of the empire, he must unconditionally support the decision made by the head of state. Goebbels may be the second high-ranking Nazi official in Germany who was convinced that Germany would be victorious in addition to Hitler at that time. The garbage of Goering could not be included. The guy’s brain was already drug and silly, except for fat and Alcohol, it was completely empty under that skull.

Himmler has no concept of war at all. You should know that this SS national leader will be hazed. It is said that once he showed his personal bravery in front of his subordinates, Himmler personally observed a shooting. After going back, the leader was uncomfortable for three days.

The top of the Nazi party is full of all kinds of waste that can only be talked about, because this kind of person will not pose a threat to the dictatorship of the heads of state. Goebbels already knows this very well. He is one of the few in the team who has the ability to do so. Yes, so it became a lucky survivor among a few Hitler's men.

Not only did Xu Jun not dismiss his loyalty to Hitler, but instead gave Goebbels all the confidence like the former head of state, which moved the propaganda minister to his heart. In return, he vowed to devote all his loyalty to the apostle of God.

"Wait for a while after the meal, we arranged some reporter representatives to meet with you. They prepared some questions and will ask you questions at the meeting." Goebbels reported to Xu Jun respectfully. Xu Jun chewed quickly and swallowed the barbecue in his mouth. After pouring a sip of wine on his head, the head of state breathed a sigh of relief and then asked: "Symposium?"

"Yes, about half an hour, they are all important foreign media." Goebbels replied.

"What media are there?" Xu Jun took the napkin and wiped his mouth.

"Britain's "Daily Mail", "Guardian", "Times" and Reuters, Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" and "Yomiuri Shimbun", France's "Little Parisian", "News" and "Morning News" , "Time" in the United States and the Associated Press. There is also the "Evening Post", "The Courier" and "National News" in Italy, and the Greek "Dr. Goebbels memory is very amazing, but the head of state clearly lacks patient.

"Okay, you don't have to introduce it all, Goebbels. I'm relieved of your work. Speaking of them, what exactly are they preparing for?" The head of state picked up the wine again.

"I have prepared a list here, you can take a look first." Goebbels learned this time smart, he beckoned to the secretary, and then instructed in the other ear.

"Please wait a moment, Miller will soon bring the list." The Minister of Publicity reported to the head of state.

"It's okay, I have time here." The waiter brought olive-fried cod, and the head of state put down the glass and picked up the knife and fork again.

"My head." Just as the head was preparing to enjoy the food, Colonel Dogen suddenly approached him. He bent down and reported quietly to Xu Jun: "I just found a suspicious person in the crowd, I doubt That man is going to be against you.".

"You mean, that's an assassin?" Xu Jun had a smile on his face. From the outsider's perspective, it seemed to be talking about some interesting topic.

"I'm still a little bit unsure, but just a little skeptical, but for safety's sake, I hope you can leave this place immediately." Dogen's respectful suggestion arrived.

"No, I can't leave halfway. This is a reporter from the world-famous media. I must maintain the image of the empire." Xu Jun cut the cod and fork a piece of white fish into his mouth.

"You go to Weierle immediately and let him come up with the best of both worlds." The Emperor of the Empire said with a smile as he chewed the fish.

ps: Today's update is sent, I hope everyone will like it.

As for the fan name, I am going to adopt that interesting "ff group",

In addition to sharp fans, it can be interpreted as riendsothefuehrer, friends of the head of state.

It is said that ff is the same as ss. It smells like a third empire institution. As long as it is not followed by an f, it should not be regarded as a tease.
