Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 29: Paris (1)

Putting down a silver knife with a delicate ivy pattern, Xu Jun elegantly lifted the wine glass in front of him.

The mouth of the gorgeous crystal cup is inlaid with pure gold lace, and the cup body is as pure as an ice crystal. The seal of the former master is engraved on the cup body, showing off its extraordinary life experience.

The elegant and luxurious appearance has made it a work of art, and the special value given to it by history has made people forget the significance of its birth as a wine tool.

If it falls into the hands of an antique collector, it must be carefully placed in a beautiful glass cabinet, perhaps under the soft and expensive silk cushions, its owner will definitely display it in the most conspicuous place People can watch it, and it will surely gain heartfelt admiration and respect from countless people, bringing infinite satisfaction and honor to its owners and countless jealous eyes.

However, it can no longer be used as a cup.

"You seem to be very interested in this set, my head."

Weiller, who noticed the young head's intoxicated look, put down the knife in his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him.

"Oh? What did you say?"

Xu Jun's eyes turned back from the glass, and he stared blankly at his chief of staff.

"Nothing, my head, I want to pay tribute to the victory we have now."

Weierle smiled and toasted Xu Jun.

"Oh, for our future victory, my chief of staff."

Xu Jun smiled slightly and raised his glass.

"For the future victory, my head of state."

Hearing Xu Jun's speech, the subordinates quickly put down the knife and fork in their hands and held up the wine glasses to salute Xu Jun.

Xu Junqian took a sip of wine and felt the special enjoyment brought by the aromatic mellow liquor.

As the head of an empire, Xu Jun has the power to obtain all the enjoyment that leaders in his position can get. As a ducái, he even has something that other leaders in the world cannot have, absolutely tempting.

It sounds like a joke, but as the leader of a fascist country, the head of a country that can hardly talk about zi lure, Xu Jun really got the most thorough and unscrupulous zi lure, of course, this is limited to him alone.

When Xu Jun and Feng. At the end of the talks between Brauchidz and Yoder, the sky had begun to darken, and then they realized that they had been talking for an entire afternoon.

After the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces and the Chief of Operations of the Headquarters once again swore allegiance and support to their young heads of state, they spent most of their time discussing details of the handling of officers and generals of the National Defense Forces involved in the matter.

In this matter, Xu Jun won Feng. Brauziqi and Yoder’s unreserved support means that he received the support of the majority of the German Command and the German Army, which makes Xu Jun feel very gratified.

Although they later had a little dispute over some processing details, it was quickly resolved under Weirler's mediation.

Xu Jun was very satisfied with the results of the talks. Of course, Feng, Brauchich and Yoder were also very rewarded. They knew that they had gained Xu Jun’s absolute trust. Jobs on the job and personal future issues will have incalculable effects.

The two had forgotten why they came to meet the head of state. Although the head of state did not explain to them about the assassination at the end, their minds were no longer there.

They have obtained more important information, and how to benefit from them is the most important issue they need to consider now.

As it was time for dinner, Xu Jun, feeling tired, decided to stay overnight at this temporary site, and then continue the following activities the next day.

The generals and officials who participated in the welcome unexpectedly got a chance to dine and rest on the heads of state.

Xu Jun’s head-of-line train was converted from a blend of Hitler’s Amerika and Goring’s Asiatic. This train has the powerful communication command function of the Americana and the extravagant living facilities of the Asiana. The most luxurious and comfortable mobile command center in Europe and the world.

Xu Jun did not invite anyone to dinner with him, although Weiller repeatedly suggested that this was an opportunity to bring Xu Jun closer to those generals.

But Xu Jun only likes to dine with people who are familiar with him. He enjoys the family-like atmosphere of a relaxed and harmonious dining table. Although sometimes it is necessary to attend a large banquet, since he is on his own site, he will not Any reason to force yourself.

Xu Jun doesn't care about losing any chance to buy people's hearts. Moreover, he doesn't believe that eating an awkward dinner can make those officials and generals loyal to themselves.

There are many more effective ways than this, why not take your own appetite.

Xu Jun owns his own dining car, which was converted from Gorlin's private entertainment car.

Said to be a modification, in fact, only those entertainment facilities were dismantled. The interior decoration did not make any changes at all, and still maintained a gorgeous style.

The brown and black oak siding is polished and sparkling, surrounded by exquisite lacquer decorative patterns, and the windows are hung with velvet curtains of the same color as the walls.

The ground is covered with a full inch of thick brown wool carpet. It feels as if you are stepping on the lush grass, which makes you have the urge to lie on it.

Against both walls are two rows of shiny leather sofas with purple silk cushions. An upright piano was placed in one corner of the carriage, and an antique wine cabinet with patterns engraved on the other corner, and a row of decorative silver plates erected on the top of the cabinet.

In the middle of the carriage is a long dining table for twelve people, covered with white embroidered tablecloths, and Xu Jun's seat is placed with a Louis-style high-back chair. The interior of the dining car looks diffuse. With a palace-like elegance and nobility.

The chef has already delivered the main course. Today is Hungarian beef with mashed potatoes, which is also covered with a thick layer of mushroom juice, which looks very appetizing.

Xu Jun feels good about German cuisine, of course, the credit of those skilled chefs.

Xu Jun's personal requirements for food are not high, especially at the front line, sometimes a simple bowl of vegetable soup, two sausages and a piece of bread can pass the meal.

In fact, this is also a common habit of the German squad, because no matter how senior the officer, even if he is a marshal, the food on the battlefield will not be much different from an ordinary soldier, at most a little more refined than the soldiers.

However, Xu Jun will not hypocritically refuse food. If he has the opportunity, he will be very happy to taste a hearty meal, especially new dishes that have not been tried.

Xu Jun has always maintained ample curiosity for European cuisine. Of course, what most enchants him is the Chinese cuisine in his hometown, but Chinese chefs can’t really find it for a while, and Xu Jun cannot force it. what.

Finally, European dishes are still emerging, and there is no tendency for him to get bored.

However, the thought of the emperor's head of the Third Reich wanted to eat a plate of fried vegetables was not available, and Xu Jun could not help but sigh.

Swallowing the last piece of tender beef, Xu Jun picked up the glass again. Weyler was right, he was really interested in this set.

The set was seized from a French general during the German occupation of Orleans. At that time, the guy was preparing to escape. Unfortunately, before he ran out of two miles, he ran into a team of lost German tanks. At that time, the commander of the tank company was holding a map and worried about the three-forked intersection. tableware.

Although this company commander is not a noble, but also has a family history, he is a master of knowledge. As soon as he saw that this thing was too expensive, he didn't dare to hide it privately even though he liked it. He simply turned over this set of things immediately, and by the way, he could get a good impression in front of his boss. So after handing over this for more than ten times, this set of things was placed on Xu Jun's table.

As a backup historian, Xu Jun saw the origin of this set of things at a glance. The national emblem above clearly showed that it was a royal article of the French royal family, and it should be the personal tool of the Sun King Louis XIV. This really makes Xu Jun, who is very fond of antiques, put it aside, and designated him as his personal tableware.

Xu Jun’s logic is that since such good things are created and used by others, why not use them, not to mention that they are not bad, but I heard that the kitchen dishwashing servicemen have since fallen ill.

The cups are fine, and the wines are no worse. Real Bordeaux red wines, produced in 1867 by Lafite, are among the best.

In general, the best storage period for Bordeaux red wine is 20 years, but occasionally some top grades can be kept for more than 100 years without losing their taste. Now this bottle of wine is obviously the same.

Xu Jun didn't ask where these wines were obtained. Anyway, there were only five bottles, and there were no more. The feeling of drinking gold was really good.

"Weirler, what is the schedule for tomorrow? Do you have any suggestions?"

At the end of the dinner, the serviceman removed the tableware, and Xu Jun proudly lit up a cigar and smoked leisurely.

"This? Nothing changed, my head of state. We went to the headquarters in the morning and visited several nearby estates in the afternoon. The original plan was to prepare to enter Paris the day after you arrived, but because of what happened today, the original The plan has been disrupted, and it is up to you to decide whether the commander’s opinion is specific or not. Marshal von Brauchich has issued an order to keep those troops prepared, and he seems to want to make the most grand and perfect entry into the city ceremony."

"Yeah, I don't know what kind of scene it will be."

"It should satisfy you, my head. After all, they are almost ready for a month. My head."

"This is also true, huh."

Xu Jun felt a little funny at the thought of this matter.

The German squad has now occupied most of France’s territory and continues to advance by leaps and bounds.

In fact, on the second day of the offensive, the German team surrounded Paris.

To the surprise of all Germans, they thought they would encounter the strongest resistance here, as it was in 1914 and 1918. Both German forces had already approached the city. However, due to various reasons, he could only look at the city and sigh, so the occupation of this city has become the wish of a large number of senior officers.

The army group of Lundstad and Bock copied from two breads at this time, they prepared four full German elite infantry divisions for this city, but it was in these two army commanders who licked their sleeves and licked their lips to prepare When going to the grand exhibition, Paris suddenly declared to the world that it had become an undefended city, which was beyond the expectations of these two commanders.

When this news was obtained, General Bock's frontier headquarters had been pushed to the suburbs only 15 kilometers from Paris.

Slightly feeling that the somewhat lost General Bock immediately decided to lead the troops into Paris in person. This is the best chance to be famous. Although it may be criticized as stepping on shit, the title of Paris’s conqueror is still enough to make him famous. .

But just when he was able to vaguely see the building on the outskirts of Paris, he received an expedited telegram from Feng and Brauchich.

After reading the telegram, Feng and Boke retracted to the starting point at a faster rate than when they arrived, and his troops stopped moving forward, and all the troops were stationed on the spot.

Immediately after, Lundstad also took his headquarters outside of Paris, and he and his troops stopped moving forward and were stationed on the spot.

From that day on, the twenty-three days of Paris siege that made the citizens of Paris extremely depressed began.
