Chapter 1221 Meeting Xiao Huang

The opponent's overpowering gave Guderian a sense of fear. The news that the German army was increasingly disadvantaged and suffered successive defeats continued to come from the front was discouraging. The Allied offensive in Sicily accelerated the progress of the crisis. If the situation is allowed to continue to develop like this, Guderian feels that it is only a matter of time before the situation returns to the two-front battle of World War I.

As the director of the German armored forces rather than a frontline general with real power, the only meaningful thing Guderian can do is to do his best to preside over the current and future armored forces of the German army. Development and construction.

After seeing off Bachmann, Guderian hurriedly went downstairs to have something to eat and immediately went to meet the head of state without stopping to report what he had seen, heard and gained from his trip to Austria, and reported to the head of state what he was most concerned about. The development progress of the Empire's decisive battle weapon "Tiger II" heavy tank.

"Please wait here, General Guderian. The head of state is having a meeting with Dr. Goebbels and Marshal Goering. This will take some time. I will report your arrival to the head of state. Please be patient."

Guderian, who was blocked by the head of state's personal adjutant, had no choice but to continue to wait. Goebbels and Goering were each the head of state's confidants and right-hand men, and were far higher than him in terms of hierarchy. many.

Guderian, who had already been distrusted by the head of state once, did not think it was a suitable idea to force an immediate meeting with the head of state.

"There is a drinking party in the bar on Hermann Street tonight. I heard that there are many young and beautiful girls and lead singers. Are you going to attend?"

"Hermannstrasse? Which one are you talking about?"

"Oh, Koch, where else could it be? The one we always go to, of course. We haven't had a drink together in a week."

"Well, I hope you won't end up drinking in the bed of the woman you met for the first time like you did last time, and leave me alone to go home."

"Oh, damn! This is a public place, can you stop talking about such embarrassing things? As long as we both know, it will be troublesome if the person in my family hears that such a thing happened."

Guderian was arranged to sit on the sofa in the hall and wait. On the coffee table in front of him were some snacks and fruits for guests to enjoy. Not far away were two middle-aged SS officers, who looked only about three years old. He looked like a teenager, chatting and laughing, with a smile on his face full of longing for tonight's event.

If those two people were Wehrmacht officers, Guderian, who frowned, might have gone up to interrogate and reprimand them.

But the two buddies were incompatible with each other and belonged to completely different factions of the SS. Guderian, who knew how deep the water in Berlin was, could only keep quiet and ignore this mess. Maybe the two SS There are unexpected backers and connections behind military officers.

The guys who can stay in Berlin and live a happy life, singing, dancing and having fun, are not simple in each of them.

Just as Guderian rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his watch, he was about to press the question again. The wooden door of the hall beside him opened slightly, and a man who was unexpected but not unfamiliar to Guderian came out: Minister of Propaganda and Head of State Shaping. Master Dr. Goebbels.

"Let me guess, you must have brought good news to the Führer, Guderian."

Dr. Goebbels, who always had a face as warm as a spring breeze, always gave people a feeling of spring breeze and politeness in his speech and behavior.

The profound upbringing and high-quality education he had received made Dr. Goebbels indeed look like a true gentleman, but at best it was just "like".

Guderian knew what kind of true attitude was hidden under this seemingly gentle face.

Dr. Goebbels has always been merciless towards those classified as "enemies". After they are completely eliminated, he will use a public opinion propaganda campaign that he firmly controls to put the tombstones and coffins of the "enemies" together. Completely doomed and never able to stand up again, the "enemies" who were properly handled by Dr. Goebbels personally are now notorious in Germany and are punished by everyone.

Fortunately, Guderian, who once again relied on his strength to win the president's appointment, felt that his personal relationship with Dr. Goebbels was still justifiable, and it was worthy for this powerful man, who was the confidant of the president, to smile at him.

"There is good news, and of course there are new discoveries. Can I go in and see the head of state now?"

Guderian, who never left the head of state, was very anxious. Presenting the situation to the head of state face to face was what he most urgently wanted to do now.

However, Dr. Goebbels, whose smile did not diminish at all, was not in a hurry at all. He smiled and pointed at the sofa to Guderian who had just stood up, indicating to sit down first. After Guderian took his seat, he sat aside. He spoke.

"Marshal Goering is leading the air force generals to report to the head of state. The meeting has just started. I don't think it will end in a while."

"The head of state knows that you still have a lot to do, and your time is limited and you can't wait too long, so you sent me to hear the good news you brought."

"I will truthfully convey all the situations and reports you bring to the head of state, so you might as well tell me now, Guderian."

Compared with the construction of the armored force, the current head of state seems to be more concerned about the development of the air force, or is it purely due to his good personal relationship with Meyer?

Guderian didn't know much about it, and he didn't have time to deal with these trivial matters.

Since the Yuan Dynasty has decided so, all I need to do is follow it.

But it is not here, in this public environment, where the secrets are told.

"I understand, come with me."

Dr. Goebbels saw Guderian's intention and took him to a small office. This was not Dr. Goebbels' private office. Guderian knew from propaganda reports that it was more grand than here. There are so many splendid places, this place can only be regarded as a convenient place to talk at best.

"Now, you can say whatever you want, Guderian."

Before everything started, Guderian felt that he had to make Dr. Goebbels aware of the urgency and crisis of the situation, even though he might not be that professional.

"I brought a set of photos that were taken by our frontline soldiers on the battlefield. The Russians put in their latest secret weapon, a powerful, fast, heavily armored new heavy tank. Although this is not a failure The dominant factor, but according to the witness reports of many soldiers and officers, I believe this is one of the reasons why our armored forces suffered huge losses."
