"Lampard, it's been a few days since we've been here. Do you have anything to do here?" Linda, who had finished her meal, asked Lin Wei.

"Linda, it's nothing serious. The main thing is to find someone. I just didn't expect these stupid stormtroopers to be so incompetent," Lin Wei said angrily.

Dong Dong... "The door is unlocked, please come in." Lin Wei tried his best to sound calm, "Hello, Deputy Captain Lampard, I am the person in charge of Kiel Port under the Stormtroopers. You asked us to find him." We have found this person. This person was once the volunteer liaison of the Luqi Division of the Halle Free Corps, so we found it quickly. This is his information," the person in charge of Kiel Port said with pride. , but didn’t see that Lin Wei’s face was almost livid.

"Excuse me, what's your name?" Lin Wei asked.

"Vice Captain Lampard, my name is Karl Lord. You can just call me Lord." Lord replied respectfully.

"Comrade Bessie, thank you very much for the SA's assistance. When I return to Munich, I will speak well for you as the leader of the SA," Lin Wei said.

"Oh, thank you very much. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. Captain Lampard wishes you a happy stay in Kiel." Lord said before exiting.

After Lord walked away, Linda looked at Lin Wei to confirm whether Lin Wei had any intention of getting angry. Lin Wei was amused and said, "Linda, what are you looking at me for? Do you want to see what I will do?" How angry are you? I can't be angry anymore. I didn't expect that the SA organization was so incompetent that even people who had joined the Freikorps and were closely related to the SA could not be found."

"Isn't this very good for you?" Linda curled her lips and said.

"Ahem... don't talk nonsense" Lin Wei said seriously.

"Okay, let's see if it's this person first." Linda said as she picked up the information on the table and handed it to Lin Wei.

Reinhard Heydrich

Born on March 7, 1904, he was proficient in fencing, horse riding, flying and skiing. and is already a modern pentathlete. Heydrich spent his childhood and early youth in the city of Halle. He is well educated. Because of his musical talent, he once took a music course and practiced playing the violin as well as the piano, hoping to become a musician. But by Easter 1922, the eighteen-year-old Heydrich suddenly changed his mind and joined the Royal Navy. "Why are you two years older than me?" Lin Wei now has a mixed feeling about his age. Sometimes he really wishes he could be two years older.

Served on the old cruiser "Berlin" anchored in the port of Kiel. Now he has the rank of second lieutenant.

"Finally, there are no idiots in the end. It's up to these idiots to invite him here," Lin Wei said helplessly.

I don’t know if Lin Wei’s words about Lord’s advice to Roma had an effect. As soon as Lin Wei opened his mouth, Lord immediately said that it would be done soon. This time he didn’t keep Lin Wei waiting, and sent Reinhard the next day. ·Heydrich invited Lin Wei and the others to the hotel where they were staying.

The first impression Heydrich left on Lin Wei was that he was handsome, very handsome. He had blue eyes, a hooked nose, broad shoulders, a slender figure, and fair skin. With her dashing demeanor, handsome face, and strong body, all the parts complement each other. She is truly God’s favorite. Who knew that the twenty-seven-year-old natural intelligence talent in charge of the SS Security Service would be such a person

After the two parties sat down, Lin Wei first spoke: "Second Lieutenant Heydrich, nice to meet you. I am Lampard, deputy captain of the SS. This time I came out to accompany my fiancée and came to Kiel Port. Listen. Say you are still interested in our sport so we arranged this meeting.”

"Hello, Vice Captain Lampard, nice to meet you." Heydrich's attitude did not change at all, and Lin Wei secretly praised him.

"Then Lieutenant Heydrich, let's chat while eating." Lin Wei still hasn't gotten rid of his Chinese habit of talking about things at the dinner table.

"So... okay" Heydrich was obviously uncomfortable with Lin Wei's way of talking.

"Second Lieutenant Heydrich, what do you think of the navy?" Lin Wei decided to start with Heydrich's military branch and slowly induce him.

"The current navy is no longer the navy of the earlier imperial period. If possible, I really wanted to serve in the High Seas Fleet a few years earlier," Heydrich said. "It's quite patriotic," Lin Wei commented in his heart.

"So, what do you think of the current situation in Germany?" Lin Wei asked again.

"It's really terrible. Although everything in front of me is better than the previous two years, it is all false."

After careful guidance, Lin Wei took out what he wanted from Heydrich's mouth bit by bit, and also put forward some of his own opinions to him. Of course, Lin Wei would never dare to say anything in front of Heydrich. Regarding things related to anti-Semitism, after all, Heydrich was evaluated as a blond devil in his previous life. For such a person with a criminal record, Lin Wei did not dare to take it lightly at all. After Lin Wei's judgment, Heydrich is now

He was interested in politics, but he didn't understand politics at all. He was just interested. Lin Wei felt that God had taken care of him and finally gave him a tailor-made talent.

After a few days of testing, Lin Wei found that Heydrich had no intention of leaving the navy. However, Lin Wei still persuaded Heydrich that you were born to be one of us and asked him to join the SS and said that the SS His responsibilities are not inconsistent with the Navy. Whenever I feel unhappy in the Navy, I go to Munich to find him.

After staying in Kiel Port for a few days, Lin and Wei decided that it was time to go back. Before leaving, Heydrich also came to see him off, "Heydrich, don't say goodbye. Your friend Lampard wishes you a successful career in the Navy." It's better to come (no wonder)" Lin Wei said sincerely when he left.

After returning to Munich, Lin Wei learned another piece of news that was definitely not good for him. Himmler was promoted to deputy captain by Hitler and was now on an equal footing with Lin Wei. However, within the SS, Himmler There is no direct descendant of his own yet, most of them are Lin Wei's vests.

But Lin Wei couldn't take care of him for the time being. In Lin Wei's mind, the biggest enemy of the SS in real life was Röhm and his stormtroopers. If possible, Lin Wei was willing to deal with them together.

After Lin Wei returned to Munich, he established a staff headquarters modeled on the Wehrmacht within the SS, and passed Hitler's review. Now Lin Wei is the deputy captain and chief of staff of the SS. In the following time, Lin Wei kept a low profile and consolidated With the existing power, Himmler was allowed to develop and grow step by step in the SS. After Himmler, the SS developed even more rapidly, which aroused strong dissatisfaction with Röhm. The SS and SA The relationship has also deteriorated step by step.

Himmler also set out to establish an intelligence agency, the SS Central Security Service. This department appeared five years earlier than in history. With the staff and security department and Hitler's trust and support, although the SS suffered Röhm secretly suppressed him, but basically no problems arose. Lin Wei and Himmler, the two deputy captains of the powerful faction, also knew that the biggest enemy at this time was Röhm. It was not the time for them to fight against each other. Lin Wei's After the trip to the north, except for advising Hitler on the establishment of a general staff when he first came back, he did nothing for the rest of the period, well... at least on the surface.

In the past few years, the contradiction between the SS and the SA has become more and more serious. With Linwei and Himmler as the leaders of two powerful factions, the SS has begun to ignore the SA. Once a conflict arises, Hitler They usually adopt a fifty-fifty approach to deal with problems. Whether it is Himmler or Lin Wei, they can understand that Hitler is already very protective of them.

Through his own vest investigation, Lin Wei synthesized the impressions of his previous life and established a secret file (written in Chinese characters) for Himmler that only he knew. Lin Wei would open it when he had nothing to do.

written in this file. The SS leader was not an intellectual. He was clumsy, timid and indecisive by nature. He gained his majesty not by the persuasiveness of his personality, but by his strong will to pursue power, his organizational talents and the stern image he deliberately maintained as an advocate of hard-line policies that made him an indispensable executor. Finally, as the "Leader of the SS", Himmler became the head of the German police, the minister of the interior of the empire and the commander-in-chief of the reserve army. He was the most powerful person in the empire second only to Hitler.

His ideal people are ordinary and ruthless people ready for sacrifice, and his goal is to train them. Along with command, violence, and mass murder, he also preached integrity and morality to his men: ruthlessness is morality, ruthless murder is strength. In the end, Himmler no longer cared about the suffering of the victims, but the spiritual pain of the criminals. Of course, being ordinary and coldly rational is only one aspect of his contradictory character. At the same time he wormed his way into an absurd tangle of racial theories, naturopathic theories, and folk occultism.

Although Lin Wei and Himmler have a good relationship now, this is mainly because Röhm puts too much pressure on them. If Röhm falls one day, the time will come for Lin Wei and Himmler to break up, "Hey, Himmler , maybe you have one of my files in your hands now, right?" Lin Wei's face showed two expressions of coldness and smile that should not appear together.

: "Himler's brain is called Heydrich." This is also true. Reinhard Heydrich, who was expelled from the Navy, rose rapidly in the SS hierarchy. This is proof. He expanded the SS security service for Himmler. He made the Gestapo the cipher for Hitler's Germany, the cipher for violent death that could occur at any time. He created the SS Reich Central Security Bureau, a huge agency. , it casts an invisible net over the terrifying system. And Heydrich is staying well in the Navy now. Even if he is really fired in the future, Lin Wei has already got there first. There is no need to worry that Himmler will use Heydrich against him. Instead of thinking about how to deal with Himmler in the future, Lai Du pinch, Lin Wei is more willing to think about what kind of opportunities 1929 will bring to him.
