To be honest, Herman really didn't want to get involved in this mess. He was not an avid collector of antiques and treasures, and he had no interest in these Russian bottles and jars.
Furthermore, what does the treasure escorted by your Wehrmacht have to do with our SS?
We, the SS, are the soldiers of the Führer. Why should we fight for you bastards who even dared to plot to kill the Führer but deserved not to succeed, and take bullets for you to die?
Hermann is a guy who is extremely fanatical about the Führer and his own beliefs. Of course, this also means that he will hate the "scum" of the Wehrmacht so much that he will gnash his teeth and eat these bastards alive.
The kind of incomprehensible hatred.
Normally, due to the friendly-military relationship, he would tolerate it as long as he could, but now, these bastards from the National Defense Force actually came to him and begged him to help them fight the war. Herman really wanted to sneer and curse on the spot while rejecting them on the spot.
However, the fact is that he absolutely cannot do this, and there are actually many reasons that prevent him from doing so.
Imperial Marshal Göring is an avid collector of antiques and cultural relics, and has a fanatical collecting habit in this area.
Considering that the high-ranking air force commander is not only the marshal of the empire, but also the deputy head of state of the empire. Morally speaking, he is the future successor of the head of state. Under the entire German flag, it is said that one person is less than ten thousand people.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the power of God is overwhelming to both the government and the public.
The third-rate lieutenant colonel of the Wehrmacht said that the Imperial Marshal was very concerned about these treasures and personally presided over the evacuation and transfer plan. Of course, Hermann would choose to believe this to be true. Based on his experience in the upper echelons of Berlin in the early years, if the Imperial Marshal had not
Paying attention to these treasures without asking anything about them will become a strange thing like "the sun rises in the west".
It should be noted that after conquering France, His Excellency Goering emptied out almost the entire Louvre Museum in France. Even the murals that the damn French had embedded in the walls of the Louvre were cut out and shipped away. It was really a case of evacuating those artistic talents.
The Frenchman, who was both romantic and romantic, burst into tears on the spot.
Another well-known fact is that Mr. Goering is a very grudge-bearing person. He will be resented even if he is offended by anything as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, and he still never forgets it. He vows not to be a human being unless he takes revenge.
For example, because of the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin's need to allocate carrier-based aircraft, former Navy Commander Raeder had a conflict with His Excellency Goering, who claimed that "everything that can fly in the empire is under my control." As a result, Mr. Goering was
I think "someone wants to take away my power" and hold a grudge.
Although there is no clear evidence, there are some rumors and rumors circulating among high-level officials in Berlin.
Raeder was finally jerked off by the Führer, and Dönitz was replaced. It is said that a large part of the reason was because Göring kept blowing wind and bad words in the ears of the Führer. It was not just because Raeder commanded the surface fleet.
Unfortunately, the Bismarck was involved in this incident.
Although rumors are rumors, there are some things that you would rather believe than believe.
Because dozens of small planes can cause such trouble, Göring, who is in charge of all aircraft in Germany, is not even willing to give out such a small share of the size of a green bean, and there is a high probability that he will take revenge.
If I lose those treasures that Marshal Göring has been dreaming about, then the consequences will be...
Uh, that's not great.
Hermann knew that he held a high position and was the most influential person wherever he went.
But Hermann did not feel that he was more powerful than the naval commander Raeder. Göring relied on his "iron buddy" relationship with the head of state, which was a close personal relationship, so that even Raeder could fuck him to the end and rush home to eat him.
If I was taken into consideration, it would be a luxury to go home and eat on my own. Not going to jail would probably be the best outcome. I’m really scared just thinking about it!
Hermann can withstand any criticism and infamy for abandoning friendly forces. He firmly believes that with the current unflattering appearance of the Wehrmacht in front of the head of state and his high position and authority, his immediate boss Himmler will definitely have a way.
Protecting yourself is not a big deal, isn't it just the life of two battalions of third-rate National Defense Forces?
Besides, people are not killed by themselves. At that time, they can say that people are killed by Russians. What do you think the National Defense Force has to do with me to settle accounts? If you have the ability, you can seek revenge from the Russians! If you don’t have the ability, just leave it here.
Beep.
But only the lofty deputy head of the empire, Herman believed from the bottom of his heart that this was someone he could not afford to offend, and he must never offend him.
For the sake of your future life and future, it’s best to show off and at least have an explanation.
Even if the treasure is not kept and is taken away by the Russians, at least there must be an explanation and a convincing excuse.
For example, the Russians were too strong, and we tried our best to hold on but couldn't hold on.
It's not that the SS was incompetent, it's that the Russians were so awesome that retreat was a last resort.
Hermann, who had already started making plans in his mind, did not realize that he could not help but quietly transfer the Russians, who he had always despised and looked down on in the past, to the "very powerful, very powerful, skeleton divisions who tried their best to defeat the Russians".
Coming up to the position of "invincible" can be called an invisible transformation.
After thinking for a long time with his eyes rolling in his sockets, Herman finally made up his mind and then faced the lieutenant colonel in front of him with that unchanging poker face expression and slowly spoke again.
"Didn't you see? I am planning to go to the front to learn about the latest situation and personally direct the battle."
"...."
The lieutenant colonel blinked his eyes for a while and was speechless as he didn't realize what was going on, but then he became excited again with an expression of ecstasy.
"This... General, so you are willing to stay and help..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"
Hermann, who was wearing the SS's iconic dark black leather gloves, raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to say any more, and continued to speak calmly without changing his expression.
"My troops will be responsible for the outer battle, but I guess this won't last long."
"The Russian armored group assault is very powerful. My armored units are all deployed on the south side of the station. There is a high probability that we will not have time to turn back and intercept the Russian offensive."
"While we are buying time, use all the forces and resources you can mobilize to prepare the defense within the station and prepare for close defensive warfare. My troops will then assist you in fighting inside the station, but you still
You must perform your duties as the defender here and fulfill your obligations, otherwise I will truthfully report what you have done to Marshal Model, do you understand?"
