The Third Reich in Desperation

Reinhardt's tone was very kind, unlike the assertive face he had in the morning.At the same time, he unobtrusively gestured to the confidential secretary to signal her to leave.

After the confidential secretary left the room, Rundsteder finally said slowly: "My head...Although I am very grateful for everything you have done for me. But, I really can't let go... …”

grateful?Thank you for giving you the chance to run around naked?

Reinhardt really wanted to complain, but in fact, you don't need to ask me, you can go naked at any time if you like.But in the serious atmosphere right now, he was still prioritizing after all, so he held back the cheap thoughts.

"Actually, you don't have to bear the consequences with me. After all, your prediction is completely correct, Führer. I was wrong about all of this..." Long Desch, Reinhardt's fanciful colleague Ted continued with some gratitude.

Hearing this, Reinhardt quickly understood that the old general still cared about what happened before.However, the reason for minding is not because of streaking.It was because he had shared the weight of the bet for him.

Although he pulled a group of people to join the parade, he eliminated the difference between Rundstede and others, thereby offsetting the insult.But a nobleman like Rundstadt absolutely cannot accept this kind of charity, even if it is out of goodwill!

However, Reinhardt actually expected this last scene.

With a hearty smile, he got up from his chair and walked to Rundstede, holding the old general's hand: "Actually, I didn't do this purely to save you. After all, your consideration is not unreasonable. During the Polish campaign, the French army also launched an invasion war called the 'Saar Offensive'. It was only because they were quickly scared off, so it had no effect. I have already instructed Ross to find someone to speak out in private."

"But after all..." Rundstadt, who knew the nature of the offensive, wanted to say something.

"No, but, you did the right thing!" Reinhardt interrupted kindly: "If it weren't for the fact that too many veteran generals of the Wehrmacht complained a lot about my orders and showed signs of disobedience, why should I do it?" Today's release..."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Reinhardt mentioned the propaganda-like "Saar Offensive" of the French army to give Rundstede a step down.How could Rondstadt, who had lived most of his life, not see it.

And then Reinhardt's heart-to-heart confession, he described his behavior of standing up as a last resort, and at the same time explained his philosophy and ideas as if Rundstadt was a confidant.

After some exchanges, the work of buying people's hearts can be said to be quite in place.

"Thank you, my head of state." In the end, Rundsteder said in a very low but firm voice, "I am not thanking you for saving me, but thanking you for finding a reasonable position for this rescue." The reason for me to accept today is not a handout."

After accepting Rundsteder's sincere words, Reinhard's old face, which hadn't blushed for a long time, actually looked a little embarrassed.At least, that's how it looks on the surface.

Text Chapter 231 The immature god of death

Finland, the front of the Mannerheim Line.

Simon Heye and his companions returned to the secret supply point deep in the forest on skis as they had done a few days ago.

Here, Simon will spend a comfortable day, eat a hearty hot meal, take a nice hot bath, and then sleep well in the tent.After that, check the weapons, replenish the ammunition, and then continue to set off for the next Soviet safari.

After layers of famous and secret whistles, the sniper team led by Simon Heyer finally came to the core area of ​​the supply point.

Under the guidance of German instructors, the Finnish Army trained a large number of sniper groups like Simon's team.They are divided into groups of three or five snipers, and they can often wipe out small Soviet convoys marching in columns from a long distance without any casualties.Only 3 days after the start of the battle, the record of Simon's team has soared to a full 34 people.And their team only had 3 snipers in total.

Now, the three-man squad, with little ammunition, is slipping into a carefully camouflaged tented camp in a dense taiga, donning white cloaks.In this tented camp built with thick white canvas, it is warm and difficult to be detected by the Soviet aviation frame because it is on the white dense forest and snow. It can be called a safe zone for Finnish snipers.

Along the way, Simon also met many people who greeted him.Some of these people were about to leave for the battlefield, some had just returned like him, and more were resting in the camp and waiting for orders.

Among these people, there are Finns, there are Swedes, there are Norwegians and even Danes.It is said that there were also British and even American volunteers to help fight the Soviet Union.But Simon had never seen these English-speaking volunteers from Britain and the United States.

Walking outside the tent in the central area, Simon walked in with 2 teammates.

Inside the tent, a group of people are eating around a smokeless stove.Seeing Simon come in, people immediately stood up and made way for Simon to make an empty path to the stove.

Among them, a veteran who looked like a big man touched his greasy mouth, turned and walked towards Simon: "Our hero is back, let me give him a big hug!"

But Simon quickly reached out his hand indifferently to stop him.

After taking off the rifle on his back, and carefully unloading the complex set of equipment on his body, Simon gently put the equipment aside, and then shook hands with the big man.

However, the big man seemed to be used to Simon's cold attitude, and he didn't feel embarrassed by Simon's refusal.

After saying hello to all those present, Simon and his party also had a set of tableware, and they leaned forward and sat down.

The big man gave each of the hungry Simon team a lunch box full of egg and corn chowder, rewarding these brave fighters.

In order to hide, Simon ate dry "nutrition biscuits" after leaving the camp.Facing the rare thick soup, Simon naturally chose to drink it up in one gulp, and then let out a long sigh of relief with a healed expression on his face.

"You're still so reckless." Simon, who hadn't had enough to drink, while adding egg soup for himself, taught the big man: "When you hugged just now, if you accidentally broke the precious night vision goggles on my body , do you think our no-nonsense German instructors will turn you into a sausage?"

Immediately, there was laughter in the tent, even the German instructor, who had been stern before, couldn't stop laughing.

"By the way, when it comes to sausages, I'm a little hungry. Do you still have Bavarian smoked sausages? That's delicious." After another bowl of egg soup, Simon said dissatisfied.

"Here." The big man in charge of the food took out 3 German smoked sausages like a magic trick, and handed them to Simon and the others.

Simon, who was chewing smoked sausage and adding the third box of thick soup, thought about it, and reported to the German Instructors Exchange in a time-saving manner:

"Instructor, the night vision device is really useful at night. Within a distance of 300 meters, we can almost guarantee that we can see everything in the night. In this way, even if the Soviets learn to be smart and don't light bonfires at night, we can still They can also see them clearly and shoot them. No matter how they hide in the dark, their every move will be fully exposed in the night vision device!"

Simon stopped to take a sip of hot soup, and continued to conclude to the instructor:

"But this thing is also very problematic. Although it is really good to use, the infrared headlights of this thing are too power-hungry, and a battery will not last long at all.

And this battery does not know how, and the use time is only 50% of the original estimated time, so we have to cancel the contract every time the infrared light is turned on.Moreover, the infrared light is not very stable when it works. In one ambush, a big fish was released because the infrared light suddenly failed to work.

...Also, the weight and volume of this set of equipment is still a bit large, and a small team is required to operate it effectively. It would be great if it could be improved. "

After talking endlessly, Simon had already finished eating the smoked sausage.

To be honest, the voice he reported while eating was really not clear, but the German instructor could barely understand it.

Simon, who looked starved, cut another piece of black bread with a bayonet, soaked it in hot soup until softened, and ate it by himself.

At this time, a strange face wearing glasses stood out from the crowd. After pushing down his glasses, he said coldly in a voice without any emotion:

"We haven't been able to solve the problem of high power consumption of infrared lamps. After all, these are test products that have just been taken out of the laboratory, and the working stability cannot be very high. No one can count on the high reliability of a test product. Besides Still in a cold place like Finland, such a low temperature also makes the work efficiency of lead-acid batteries low. In this regard, we have never considered it before.”

The man with glasses had a typical Germanic face, so Simon immediately guessed that he should be a scientist from the same country as the German instructor.

Fortunately, the man with glasses speaks fluent Finnish, so that most of the people present can understand what he said in his super fast speech speed.

The man in glasses, who didn't know that he looked dull, continued: "We are very surprised that the battery can reach half the working time of the original design, and there is nothing to complain about. As for the volume and weight you mentioned, in this regard, our domestic The researchers are working hard, and it is said that they have been able to be carried by a single soldier, and the night vision device has been integrated into the Zeiss scope. But I don’t think the Finnish army can wait for the input of this new product.”

"Hi... come with the sausage again!" Simon hiccuped to the big man who managed the sausage resources.

"Huh?......Well, you continue talking, I'll listen." Thinking of the poker face who seemed to be chattering next to him, Simon nodded seriously as if he hadn't ignored him just now .

Pokerface is not stupid either. After realizing that the other party is not interested in listening to his professional knowledge, he immediately shut his mouth tactfully.

"Forget it, I won't talk to you about this." Pokerface shook his head, took out a telegram and handed it to Simon: "Here is a task, if you are willing to perform it, take your team members with you after eating I'm going to get new equipment."

Are you going to leave just after you come back?It's not even time to get a good night's sleep!The surrounding Finnish soldiers were a little worried about whether Simon could bear it.

"Do you want to accept it? If not, I'll go find someone else." Poker stared at Simon indifferently: "There are many sniper teams with good records, but you don't have much time left."

"You can't wait..." A kind-hearted Finnish second lieutenant stood up and refused for Simon.

"Bang!" Before the second lieutenant finished speaking, everyone saw Simon smashing the lunch box on the ground, stood up and said, "Let me go!"
