Chapter Twenty Telegram

  A telegram soon reached the hands of Hans Krieger, Andrey's father. Looking at the text, he exchanged a few words with his wife and furrowed his brow tightly.

  The telegram only contained one sentence: "André may be in danger, hurry to replenish Rommel's supplies and military needs." Hans and Krebert were already a bit angry when they were woken up from their sleep, and seeing that their only son might be in trouble, Hans and Krebert's anger could hardly be restrained.

  Before long, the second list of military supplies also arrived in Hans and Krebert's hands. The telegram also mentioned that Andrey's car had been hit by a British plane and he had lost his memory. Originally, Hans and Krebert, who had already mastered the art of nurturing their anger, couldn't help but explode. With a "bang", a precious antique vase was smashed to pieces on the wall. In his heart, he cursed Rommel for being ignorant of the heavens and the earth, daring to use Andrey's safety as leverage against him.

  To know so many equipment and personnel weapons, it takes countless money to pile up. Empty mouth white teeth say want to want, not feeling a little ashamed at all. It's really too shameless.

  At this time, Hannah von Dernitz, Andrey's mother, walked in. Seeing the crushed vase by the wall, she couldn't help but be surprised. To be honest, since Hannah von Dernitz married Krieger, the two had been getting along harmoniously, except for some differences in their views on Andrey's education, they had never had any unpleasant disputes, and could be described as a harmonious couple. Krieger's great anger was also something Hannah saw for the first time.

  Hannah said inexplicably, "Krebert, what's going on that we can't resolve calmly, why make such a big fuss."

  Kreiber silently handed the two telegrams in his hand to Hanna and said, "Both of your good sons are not well-behaved at home. They ran to Berlin to make trouble for us. Look, something has happened."

  Hannah muttered to herself as she read the telegram, "Andrei is not my only son, besides our family..." and let out a sharp cry when she saw that Andrei was in danger.

  Krieger's heart skipped a beat as he heard Hannah's scream, and he quickly grasped her hand, saying "Dear, don't worry about the telegram, it just says maybe, not necessarily. Maybe Rommel is having a tough battle and wants more troops, but Hitler is busy attacking Russia now and can't spare any men for him, so he asked Andri to ask us for help." In fact, Krieger didn't tell Hannah that if it wasn't an emergency, Philip wouldn't have used the special cipher to send this telegram.

  Hearing Krieger's explanation, Hanna calmed down and said, "Hmph, it's just some things, you can't give them to him. Why get so angry? It seems that you've really become petty, not even considering the safety of your own son. After all, he is our only heir."

  "It's not that I'm stingy, you know how much money this is. If we weren't at war, our family wouldn't have made this much in two years either. Besides, there aren't even enough tanks and planes in all of Germany to meet Rommel's demands. And even if I wanted to give them to Rommel, it's impossible to transport them to North Africa now. The entire Mediterranean is under British naval control, and with the Americans joining the war, my American friends can't help us transport these goods either. Finally, Andrei offended Air Marshal G?ring in Berlin. The air force is G?ring's domain, even if he hadn't been offended, he wouldn't have been so generous. Especially since Andrei took all of G?ring's things." Kluber explained.

  "I don't care, if you're not going to take it out. I'll let my family take it out, anyway can't let Andri suffer. I'm going to find my cousin Denits to think of a way. I also want to go find my dad, find my uncle." Hanna said somewhat hysterically.

  "Alright, alright. Don't argue for now, let me think this through. I'll go make a few calls and get some people to help us out first, you prepare too, we're heading to Berlin soon." Krebert said somewhat helplessly.

  When he heard that Hannah was going to ask her family for help, Krebert felt a bit of a headache. It wasn't that Krebert was afraid of Hannah's family, but rather that he couldn't afford to lose face in front of them. As the underground godfather of Europe, sometimes dignity was more important than life itself.

  It was night, a military transport plane flew to Berlin Airport. Krebert and Hannah got off the plane and sat in a luxurious Mercedes-Benz car leaving the airport. Tonight, in a heavily guarded villa on the outskirts of Berlin, the lights were bright and the voices were loud. Some transactions and price negotiations were secretly carried out here.

  The next morning, Albert Speer, the Minister of Armaments for the Third Reich, hastily requested an urgent meeting with Hitler at the Chancellery. Speer's smooth voice repeatedly echoed in front of Hitler, constantly praising Hitler's great achievements. This architect-turned- confidant of Hitler was equally skilled in rhetoric as Hitler himself.

  Later, Speer handed Hitler a list of military supplies and asked him to sign it. Although Hitler was already infatuated with Speer's flattery, when he saw the tanks, planes, armored divisions, and 88mm anti-aircraft guns on the list, he suddenly came back to his senses and hastily asked "What is this?"

  "Oh, revered Führer. I was so caught up in recalling your great battles that I forgot to explain. The implementation of the plan didn't want Hitler to know at all, just wanted to muddle through. Here are the supplies and troops needed by your beloved Field Marshal Rommel."

  Hitler looked at the astonishing piles of numbers and said, "I'm not unwilling to give Rommel reinforcements, but now our decisive battle against Russia has reached a critical point. Russia is currently our most important enemy. The Slavs are the greatest challenge we face. We must defeat Stalin..."

  Hitler finally asked Speer: "We have so many tanks, how come I don't know?"

  Speer had already thought this out when he arrived: "These are all temporarily assembled by a few munitions groups, some of which have not yet gone into mass production and are still in the process of assembly. Our Armaments Headquarters has not yet paid them."

  "No, absolutely not. Now all supplies should be prioritized to the Eastern Front. Only by fully committing to a decisive battle with the Slavs..." Hitler began another long speech.

  Speer had expected this outcome, but he wasn't in a hurry. He just looked at Hitler with a respectful expression and listened seriously to Hitler's nonsense. Before long, the guard outside came in and said, "Field Marshal Keitel requests an audience."

  Hitler was in the midst of a speech and couldn't help but say "You're just in time." However, he still had Kateel led in.

  Keitel was another of Hitler's loyal Dobermans. He earned his field marshal's baton after the invasion of France, Norway and Denmark, a promotion that outranked even the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Walther von Brauchitsch, who was still only a colonel-general at the time. This immediately drew the ire of the Army High Command, and Hitler subsequently promoted both Brauchitsch and several other generals to field marshal to placate them. This also shows how close Keitel's relationship with Hitler was. Keitel always treated Hitler as a 'genius' and was completely obedient to him.

  The Chief of the General Staff of the Supreme Command of the Three Armies came to Hitler's side, took out a document directly from his bag and handed it over to Hitler with both hands. Hitler took a look and almost laughed, still Rommel's military supply plan table.

  "Sir, after careful consideration and discussion by the General Staff, we are unanimous in our opinion that this plan is the most important thing at present."

  Hitler listened to what Keitel said without interrupting his statement. Rarely quiet, listening to Keitel's narrative.

  "My Fuehrer, we have made a thorough analysis of all the situations and intelligence. Intelligence shows that the British have assembled large numbers of tanks, aircraft and more than 200,000 soldiers in Egypt. Rommel has less than 80,000 men. And on the western front in Libya, the Americans are planning to land. It is very difficult for Rommel to survive without reinforcements anywhere." Keitel continued.

  Keitel was invited by Hans Frank, a distant uncle of Andrey, to plead with Rommel. As the Minister of State and Governor-General of Poland, Hans Frank was also a person of great prestige. Keitel had been helped by Hans Frank in his early years, and Keitel had always wanted to find an opportunity to repay him, which he now had.

  "I am aware of the situation. I have faith in the bravery of German and Italian soldiers, who will stubbornly resist British attacks. As for the Americans, they are cowards and merchants, only interested in making money from us; their soldiers are not worth mentioning, and on our Western Front we still have the French allied army. Our French allies will help us hold off these people." Hitler said.

  Hitler didn't really want to get involved in the North African campaign, where there were only a few hundred thousand German soldiers. Compared to the nearly 4 million German soldiers fighting in the Soviet Union, it was nothing to write home about. Moreover, even if they did manage to take Cairo, it would only allow Mussolini to reap the benefits. Hitler wouldn't do something that didn't yield any tangible gains.

  At this time, the guards outside came in to report that Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess and Secretary of the Nazi Party Martin Bormann were seeking an audience.

  Hitler felt a bit dizzy, what day was it? Why did these guys all come to me? Before long, two people came in and warmly greeted Hitler. Don't look at Hitler being energetic in front of others, but in front of these two, he really couldn't relax.

  Hess flew to Britain on May 10, 1941. He was detained until 1987, the longest and highest-ranking Nazi prisoner of war. This book is a YY, don't take it seriously. If anyone has any recommendations, give some to Yandere, thanks in advance.
