"Oh, yes" Lin Wei replied. Hitler finally calmed down when he saw Lin Wei and Goebbels talking about Italy. Lin Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not very clear about this matter. Heydrich is secretly Observe and we will send you information at any time."
"Lampard, as far as you know, how is the performance of the Italian army?" Hitler, whose interest shifted to this, asked.
"It sucks." Lin Wei said with contempt when he mentioned the Italian army, "Since the war broke out, it can be interpreted as a formal war of resistance." Lin Wei finished eating the sausage and wiped his mouth and said, "The Egyptian army It mainly used positional defense warfare to fight against the Italian army. In the first five months of the war, the Egyptian army re-entered the Italian army in the battles of Adua, Gola Sea and Tempion. The Italian army's tanks attacked fiercely and the aircraft bombarded them. Indiscriminate bombing has brought the war to a stalemate. I don’t understand that with the Italian army and equipment, this should definitely be an asymmetric war, but in fact the Italians are now losing consecutive battles.”
"Although Mussolini has tightly blocked the news, I heard Heydrich mention some time ago that the current Italian army's absolute casualties have reached 50,000," Lin Wei said seriously.
"The Italians did not realize the importance of the air force. Their air force and army did not cooperate at all," Goering interjected.
Um? Have several purges not purged Göring’s people from the SS? Where did he get this information? Lin Wei remained calm on his face and secretly decided to go back and investigate.
"I think the main reason for getting drunk is that today's Italians are no longer the Romans in ancient times. They no longer have the fighting will of their ancestors." Hitler ended the argument and said: "Okay, don't worry about the Italians for now. Let's take care of ourselves first." Let’s deal with our own affairs.”
"Yes, head of state," Lin Wei and the others stood up and shouted. Their voices attracted the attention of passers-by on the road, but they were all stopped by the military police.
The Berlin Olympics were an Olympic Games created by the National Socialist Party. It has played a huge role in whitewashing peace in Germany now.
For this reason, Lin Wei specially issued Olympic lottery tickets with local capitalists in Berlin. If the player wins the lottery or guesses correctly, he or she can receive a huge reward of up to one million marks. Businessmen and shops on the street sell everything related to the Olympic Games. Related trinkets and toys.
At this time, the emblem of the Olympic Games has been determined. The pattern is an eagle on a huge bell. At the feet of the eagle are the five Olympic rings.
Make money, make as much money as possible. All Germans cherish this hard-won opportunity. No matter whether the other party is the French, British, or Poles, the German people know that they have to endure it now. Sooner or later, their army will be like These countries seek justice, and in return they smile to their future enemies.
Hitler also decided to introduce the format of the torch relay. The fire must come from Olympia and be passed from Olympia to the host country in a torch relay manner. This Olympic Games will also be broadcast to the world through television for the first time. 25 large screens were set up across Berlin, allowing locals to watch the games for free. Basketball, canoeing and handball all make their Olympic debuts.
These actions have undoubtedly been welcomed by the people, giving busy people a chance to relax and watch a game that is usually rare. All Germans subconsciously know that peace... has begun to countdown.
Every foreigner who comes to Germany in advance will be shocked to find that Germany has now become a country of uniforms. All the people wear roughly the same clothes. Germany now feels like a huge military camp, black , gray, yellow, blue, uniforms of almost all colors can be found in Berlin, and people have become accustomed to wearing uniforms to work.
The impression given by the current Germans is that unless you can defeat him in one go, you should not mess with him.
Germany's traditional enemy, the French, will not make things easy for Germany. The success of the surprise attack on the Rhineland has greatly enhanced Germany's prestige, which in turn has disgraced the French. Germany's accelerated militarization has made France, its neighbor, unable to sleep. Even though Germany is now shouting about friendship and peace, how can it escape the attention of those who are interested? Opposition to hosting the Olympics in Berlin continues to ring out around the world.
Just as the Germans were confidently preparing to build the city for the Olympics, in June 1936, the "Conference for the Defense of Olympic Thought" was held in Paris, France. Representatives from France, Spain, the United States, the United Kingdom, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and other countries. The conference called on people to oppose the Berlin Olympics and called for the venue to be changed to Barcelona, Spain.
Then, New York established a struggle committee dedicated to opposing the Berlin Olympics; some European countries also made a clear commitment not to participate in the Berlin Olympics, but actively supported the preparation of the Barcelona Olympics; in order to support Spain in hosting the Olympics, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Sweden, Athletes from 20 countries including Greece and the United States gathered in Barcelona to prepare for the Games to be held there on July 18.
Germany is of course firmly opposed to this. Propaganda Minister Goebbels said to the Germans, "Now that France has cut off the dawn of peace with its own hands, the French still regard Germany as a country that is at the mercy of others. German people, you See, they still look down on us."
When asked by reporters, Foreign Minister Niu Wright said, "We regret that these countries have questioned Germany's peace sincerity. However, I think we cannot rule out that some people deliberately mix in and cause trouble."
Immediately, Hitler immediately summoned Lin Wei to the Prime Minister's Office for questioning. Lin Wei knew clearly what Hitler wanted to do now, so he stayed with Heydrich, the leader of the Gestapo. Can be topped.
Lin Wei and Heydrich arrived at Hitler's office smoothly. Hitler's office was still the same as usual, looking very dark.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Hitler stopped the pen in his hand and raised his head and said, "I think you all know the current situation. France is hosting our Olympic Games in Paris and will hold the Games in Spain. There are already more than 20 people... Athletes from several countries are there, what can you do?"
"Head of State, the political situation in Spain doesn't seem to be very stable now?" Lin Wei said with deep meaning.
"Oh," Hitler was stunned after hearing Lin Wei's words, and then his frown relaxed, "Yes, Spain is very dangerous now. How can we ensure the safety of so many athletes? Lampard, how is the situation in Spain now? ?".
"Führer, I don't know about this matter, but Heydrich knows these things best. He is born to like to explore other people's secrets. Now maybe he knows how many spiders are moving around where I sleep." Lin Wei pointed at Heydrich and teased.
Faced with Lin Wei's teasing, Heydrich did not answer, but formally pulled out a stack of documents from the briefcase he carried, saying: "Head of State, according to the informant report developed within Spain, from the general election in February this year After that, the People's Front won and a coalition government was established. The parliament elected M. Azanya Díaz as the President of the Republic. After the establishment of the People's Front coalition government, a series of reforms were carried out. From the Spanish Second in March 1 At the beginning of the Republic, disarmament was implemented and military schools were closed. These measures caused dissatisfaction among landlords and military generals. It can be said that a civil war may break out in Spain at any time."
"Oh, go on." Hitler seemed to be very interested in this issue, and then added, "If Spain starts a civil war, will anyone in the current government support them? I'm talking about the country."
Heydrich said without thinking, "The Soviets, only the Soviets support the Spanish government now, but because they are too far away, they may only support it secretly."
Hitler pondered for a moment after listening to Heydrich's report: "No matter what, we cannot let Spain get in the way at this time. I think you also understand the importance of this Olympics to Germany. We must stop this at any cost." happened".
"Führer"
"Lampard, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"I want to ask Heydrich how many subordinates we have in Spain" Lin Wei asked.
Heydrich gave his answer after thinking for a moment: "We have about 800 lurkers in Spain. Now some of them have become low-level officers, and some have opened farms in the countryside. In Spain we can There are about 3,000 people under control."
"Heydrich, this competition is understood to be a competition between us and the French. Now people with eyes all over the world are watching how we solve this problem. This sports meeting supported by the French must be aborted." Lin Wei He said coldly.
Heydrich's eyes flashed coldly: "Lampard, what you mean is that we let our subordinates in Spain attack and create chaos, and then we will find a way to change the International Olympic Committee's decision."
When he said this, Lin Wei turned to Hitler and said, "Führer, I need your full authorization for this matter," Lin Wei said very seriously.
"Lampard, I give you this right" Hitler nodded in agreement.
Lin Wei and Heydrich then left and immediately returned to the SS headquarters to study the plan after leaving the Prime Minister's Office.
In the middle of the night, radio waves were transmitted from the SS headquarters to Spain. The intelligence at the SS headquarters was busy all night, formulating action plans to provide support in Spain.
Joseph Russell, a major battalion commander of the Spanish Republican Army, a German of Hispanic origin, had a large farm in the countryside of Madrid. His real identity was the general person in charge of the SS in Spain. He He has a good impression of National Socialism and believes that it is the spiritual concept that can save Spain. So when the Germans found him, he joined the SS without hesitation. Only after joining did he realize that this was a well-organized armed force that was no worse than the Spanish regular army. To his surprise, he had already been infiltrated by him in Spain. Well, many junior officers in the Republic's army have joined here.
Now he is holding the telegram just sent from Berlin, "Major Russell, I already know everything about what happened in Spain recently. The current political situation in Spain is very unstable. According to the decision of the headquarters, in Spain Launch an action plan, codenamed 'Subversion'. Someone will cooperate with you when the time comes. Don't expose our strength in Spain. Well, in the end, please remember that loyalty is my honor."
"Loyalty is my honor," Russell muttered.
In the early morning, the subversion plan began. With the cooperation of SS lurkers in Spain, a large number of junior Republican Army officers led their troops to create riots. One of the troops entered the athletes' camp, although it was quickly suppressed. Went down, but still scared those athletes to death.
