Battle of the Third Reich

"Good, hahaha, I think this rank is best for you, hahahaha."

Lieutenant Colonel Halon almost sighed with laughter, and he slammed on the table in front of him while clutching his stomach.

"There is nothing funny, you are not the same, come to laugh at me. However, General, you have to upgrade my rank a little bit. This one, at least, should be similar to Lieutenant Colonel Halong."

The commander of the 38th Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, Major Sanders, begged sadly to Xu Jun, who was wearing military uniforms.

Because of the excellent performance of the armored reconnaissance battalion commanded by Sanders in this battle, he was promoted to major and was officially appointed as the commander of the battalion. As his troops have been cooperating with the 25th Armored Regiment of Halong, the two commanders have formed a profound friendship. Now the major was crying and grimacing to sort out the army uniform, but the rank changed to corporal.

"Ha ha ha ha, what's so good about it, didn't you rise from the corporal?"

Halon proudly showed off his new uniform in front of Sanders.

"How is it, Ensign, I really miss those days when I was ensign, when I was really carefree and fearless, as if the whole world was under my feet. Hahaha, put on this set again The military uniform made me feel a lot younger."

Halong and Mueller stayed for too long, and may have been influenced by the group of guys. From the beginning, the rigid and serious tank expert became more and more cheerful and active. Maybe this is the real of Halong. Be yourself.

"Yeah, I also remember what happened when I was a second lieutenant. It's really nostalgic." Mueller also entered the room wearing a second lieutenant uniform.

"Are you nostalgic? Colonel? Then do you miss the days of being a corporal. If you change military uniforms with me, sir, you can feel nostalgic."

Sanders saw Xu Jun still sorting out military uniforms with Hans' help and ignored him, and began to wrap up towards Mueller.

"Stay aside, Corporal Sanders. After graduating from the military academy, I was a warrant officer. I haven't been a corporal, so I am nostalgic." Muller said with a grin, and said to Sanders with a hard face.

"But I am also directly a warrant officer, and I have never been a soldier."

"Then it's your training, you have to understand the general's hard work for you."

Lieutenant Colonel Dougan came in, but this sentence was not addressed to poor Sanders, but to Randolph who followed him. While Dougan wore a military uniform of the SS lieutenant, Randolph wore a steel helmet and dressed as a top SS soldier.

"Okay, I think I should explain why I let everyone wear it like this." Xu Jun finally turned around from the front of the full-length mirror. He is now wearing an army captain's military uniform, but it still makes people feel imposing.

"Hans, call in all the officers from outside. I want to tell you about the details of our holiday."

"Follow the order, general."

After a while, officers of the "Cyprus" regiment packed the conference room. But now they are all replaced with new military uniforms. Intermediate officers are replaced with non-commissioned officers uniforms, and the lower-level officers are now directly soldiers. They are now joking with each other, and the atmosphere on the scene is like a soldier’s canteen. lively.

"Okay, everyone be quiet."

When Xu Jun waited for everyone to arrive, he shouted, and immediately the entire conference room became silent, and everyone looked at their idols and commanders with their eyes wide open.

"I said it on the plane. I asked the head of state for this holiday. And you can choose how to arrange it yourself. Officers with families can go home and reunite with family members, and those with no one can spend with me. This wonderful holiday. You are a group who voluntarily stayed with me. For this, I am very grateful to everyone for staying with me. Especially Colonel Mueller and Colonel Hans, they are willing to give up the time to reunite with their family to follow Me, this makes me very moved. Actually they don’t have to do this, which makes me feel embarrassed."

Xu Jun looked gratefully at Mueller and Hans sitting on the sidelines.

"Don't say that, my general. It is my duty as an adjutant to follow you closely."

"Yes, it is my duty as a deputy commander to follow you at ordinary times and share the work for you."

"We came here with you voluntarily. We want to protect your safety at any time. You are Germany's most precious asset, and there must be no damage."

"Yeah, Lieutenant Sherman is right, we all think so, and we also think that there might be an unexpected holiday with you."

"Yes, following the general's words, maybe you can still learn something." The officers also talked eloquently.

"Since everyone says this, I'm relieved. I said earlier, our vacation is very precious. Everyone has been fighting on the front line for a while, and now we have a rest period, of course, we can't waste it. Fall. You said yes."

"Yes, that's true." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"If we go to Berlin or Muni, although we can get a good enjoyment, we will also be surrounded by the dignitaries who admire us. I never want to leave my holiday in an invitation banquet of officials and politicians. I spent it in China. As long as I am in Germany, there is no place where I can not be harassed by them. It is a bit embarrassing to refuse them, at least people are invited because they worship you.

As a result, I came up with this method, and I decided to disguise myself and spend an ordinary holiday in a place far away from Germany. Enjoy the vacation of an ordinary officer who is undisturbed. And since you decided to spend a holiday with me, of course I have to disguise you too. Otherwise, five colonels, three lieutenants, and six majors would suddenly appear on the street. If a captain was beaten, anyone would know that Warsaw had important people coming.

You know how much the Gestapo has a sense of smell. My vacation is absolutely not allowed to be destroyed by those guys. My current whereabouts are only known to the head of state and the top leader of the SS. Not even Army Command knows where I am. And we are now staying at the base of the Air Force. I am the commander-in-chief of the Air Force. The base commander here has received my strict order, and no one dares to spread the news that I am here.

Now we have to remember our new identity. We are a low-ranking officer corps transferred from Germany to visit and vacation, while the soldier uniform is our guard. We are affiliated with the 10th Infantry Division of the Army. Later, I will give you new certificates, and those wearing soldier costumes will wait for some weapons in the Air Force warehouse. Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, you should also bring your own true documents on your body. In addition, I have already booked the best hotel in Warsaw for you. Your luggage will be sent to your room by the Air Force Base. Do you have any questions? "

After listening to Xu Jun’s words, the following immediately began to become lively. The officers seemed satisfied with their general’s idea, and they all talked excitedly.

"Long live the general."

"It's still thoughtful by the general. It seems that this holiday will be very interesting."

"It's like a masquerade, hahaha."

"I was on vacation in another capacity, I haven't thought about it yet. Thank you General for giving me this opportunity."

"Rust, first class soldier, you have to protect me."

"Go to hell, you disgusting guy, and then dare to shoot at me, I will shoot you."

"Major Ralph, it's a shame for the Army to drag your two company commanders and bury them for me. Hahaha, but it's a real treasure."

"God, I really miss the days when I was carrying a rifle."

"I miss you so much? Then you must carry my rifle for me."

"Quiet! Although you are on vacation, still give me a little more restraint. How dare you dare to be so arrogant in front of the general. Don't be dizzy, are you still like a German official? It's so ridiculous. The general can tolerate you, but I will never forgive this kind of behavior." With Mueller's roar, the entire meeting room became quiet again.

Those low-ranking officers found that they were indeed too noisy in front of them, and they should not be arrogant in front of the general and his immediate chief. Mainly because I was so excited after hearing Xu Jun's idea, I didn't control my emotions for a while.

"Okay, Colonel Mueller, we came out on vacation, and we don’t have to be too harsh on them. But you’re right. A German police officer must strictly govern his behavior in accordance with military discipline in any place and any occasion. Behaviors that do not match your identity must never appear on you. You must always bear in mind your responsibilities and obligations as a German official.

But I can forget today’s things, because most of the low-ranking officers sitting there were promoted after the Battle of Arras. Before a month, you were only some non-commissioned officers. Cultivate, so I have always been very tolerant to some of your behaviors these days.

Since Colonel Mueller proposed it today, I will say so. Now you can forgive the mistakes you made inadvertently. I will give you three months. You will use these three months to learn from your seniors and your predecessors how to become a real virtue** Officer, how can you have the excellent qualities that an officer can possess. After three months, I will select some of you for assessment. By then, if anyone else has not become a qualified officer, I will really drag the guy out and bury it. Hahahaha. "

"Comply, General." The low-ranking officers replied neatly and loudly.

"Okay, now I’m going to issue you a certificate. This is what I specially asked the experts in the intelligence department of the headquarters to get it out in one night. Like, really, ah no, it’s really a real certificate, just There are no archives in the Army Department’s archives. Except for senior officers, the ranks of others are randomly determined. Don’t forget to fill them in later, hahaha. No one will recognize the authenticity of these documents.

After everyone has received their documents, they will gather at the door. I have already arranged the vehicles for you. After a while we will drive to Warsaw downtown, and then find the best restaurant to have a good meal, to celebrate the start of our happy holiday, everyone think about it, we can play in Poland for a whole month, think about this and let me Excited. Oh, I have forgotten a little bit. From the time you got the certificate, you will live in your new identity. For example, you must call me Mr. Captain now. Captain Reinhardt, just like our deputy head of state. Do you understand? "

"Observe the order, Captain."

The officers hurriedly agreed, and then took their documents one by one and assembled outside the door.

"General, although you explained to them in this way, I think you must have something important to choose here." After the officers had gone out, Hans asked Xu Jun in a low voice.

"I think so too. You must have chosen this city for some purpose. I think you must have other reasons, but it was never the one you told them." Mueller agreed with Hans. Both Dougan and Randolph nodded.

"Since you all see it, let me tell you, I thought about it two days ago, but who made me have such a powerful man." Xu Jun looked at the four pairs of puzzled eyes and said with a smile: " I chose Warsaw for a personal reason. I came here to have a secret mission to complete. Forgive me for not giving more information to you. But if this mission is completed, I really want to take a good look at this famous city . I was too hasty last time I came and did not appreciate the Polish scenery. Also, don’t forget that I am now a captain, not a general."

"Yes, I see, sir, is your mission very confidential? Then we won't ask you again. Actually, I also want to take a good look at Warsaw. When I last came, I only adjusted it for three days. I'm gone, I haven't really seen it here."

"Colonel Mueller, oh no, Lieutenant Mueller, you have been here."

"Yeah, three or nine years, September. It was really hot at that time. But it's not that hot now. Randolph is a good soldier, buckling your style."

"Useless, Mueller, no, Lieutenant, I have reminded him three times." Dougan said, shaking his head.

"But sir, why did you let us still wear SS uniforms? It's not more conspicuous that we are mixed in a group of army officers, and why I was designated as a superior soldier." Randolph asked while trying to clasp his collar.

"It's very simple, you are the tour guide and guide when we come here for vacation and vacation. The city is managed by the SS. Of course, I want two SS members to accompany you. You are now a lieutenant of Lieutenant Dougan. I had to grieve you. Oh, it's already one o'clock in the afternoon, we haven't had lunch yet. Let's go quickly. Have a good meal in Warsaw."

Xu Jun stood up with a smile, and then strode toward the door. Mueller and the three adjutants quickly followed.

When they came outside, they saw that the officers had been lined up in a new position, and the men in soldier uniforms were all armed with rifles and stood in another line. More than ten military cars were parked aside.

"Now I order that every two soldiers and two officers have a car, we go to Warsaw. We go to lunch. Get in the car."

"Yes, sir."

With Xu Jun's order, the group hurried towards the cars. Xu Jun took Muller Hans and they got on the biggest luxury sedan in the middle. This car was prepared by the base for the arrival of the big men. It had just arrived from Germany and no one had used it. No one should pay attention to the streets of Warsaw, at most it is a bit dazzling.

With two loud horns, the convoy drove out of the air base and drove towards the urban area of ​​Warsaw.
