"How is Your Majesty's body?"
"It's not very good, I'm confused and sober for a while, and I'm old in the end."
Hersmann and Chloe disembarked from their Mercedes Benz and were led by a royal attendant dressed in an embroidered chamberlain into the splendid Charlottenburg Palace.
Chloe frequented the court, so she knew the court attendant.
So while walking, I asked about Kaiser Wilhelm.
Emperor II was born on January 27, 1859, and is 82 years old this year, which is definitely an advanced age in the 40s.
At the beginning of this year, the emperor, who had always been in good health, began to have some symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, and he was confused and sober for a while.
"Then can Your Majesty be here today?"
Chloe, who was dressed up in an off-the-shoulder evening dress, asked in a low voice.
"It shouldn't be a big problem to show up."
The attendant replied.
Today is April 18, 1941, and it is a very special day for Chloe.
Her husband, Hersman, will receive a special rank of Imperial Marshal for him today It was a special military rank in recognition of Hersmann's victories in the Mediterranean, higher than that of the Army, Navy and Air Marshal, and was currently the highest military rank in the German Empire, and it is estimated that no one else would have attained it except Hersmann.
Receiving this ad hoc rank meant that Hersmann became the first man in the German army, and perhaps the greatest German soldier of all time.
In Hersmann's opinion, this "Imperial Marshal" also has nothing, and the historical Fat Goering took it.
Moreover, he knew that most of his "great achievements" were "deception", and only the Mediterranean campaign was won by himself.
However, for Chloe, a woman who idolized famous generals who had made achievements on the battlefield, today was undoubtedly the happiest day of her life, and she certainly hoped that the German emperor himself would be able to attend the ceremony of being crowned commander, presided over by Crown Prince Wilhelm, who served as regent.
"Our greatest soldier is coming" When the Hersmanns walked into the Charlottenburg Whitehall, someone suddenly cheered.
It turned out that quite a few men in military uniforms and women in evening dresses had gathered here.
Most of them were high-ranking generals or high-ranking Nazi government officials in Berlin and their wives.
Hitler and Schleicher had not yet arrived, they were receiving Prince Paul of Greece, the grandson-in-law of Kaiser Wilhelm, who had come from Crete in order to replace his brother George II on the throne of Greece and to sue for peace on behalf of Greece.
The Goerings and Goebbels had already arrived, and in the Nazi government, Hersmann and Goering had the best relationship, having known each other at the military academy as early as their teenagers.
Of course, he didn't know that Hersman had snatched his Imperial Marshal, and when Hersman was a good friend, he walked up to talk to Hersman very enthusiastically.
Goebbels also stepped forward with a woman in military uniform, who was not Goebbels' wife, but Natalie Lesinskaya.
For her contribution to the Kaiser's role as King of Poland, she was made a Viscount of Poland and Minister of Migration in the Government of the Kingdom of Poland, a minister responsible for the resettlement of Poles from Posen, West Prussia, and Western Belarus.
However, not long after her minister did so, Hersman was recalled and made her the head of the Army Policy Council under the General Staff.
And this time, Hirschman was appointed as the marshal of the empire, which was actually achieved under the full promotion of the policy council.
In addition, Natalie also cooperated with Goebbels, the propaganda minister of the Nazi government, to package Hersmann as the embodiment of the German god of war and the most perfect soldier, which is actually what Hitler meant.
A perfect soldier should stay in the army for the rest of his life like Moltke, instead of robbing the "perfect statesman" Hitler of his job and entering politics.
Because the bowl of politics is too dirty, it will damage the image of the perfect soldier of the empire.
Of course, Hitler's introduction of Hersmann, the "god of war", was not entirely out of political power, but a propaganda tactic.
Propaganda is also an integral part of the war, and there is only one German soldier who is praised as the god of war and the god of war of famous generals, and there are many famous generals, which can reassure German friends, make Germany's enemies feel afraid, and can also make the morale of the German people high.
While Hersmann was talking cordially with Goering the Fat Man and Goebbels the Cripple and praising each other, music suddenly started and someone shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have arrived."
Then the noisy Whitehall immediately fell silent, and under the gaze of everyone, Kaiser Wilhelm, who was still very majestic and imposing in full military uniform, walked slowly down a long corridor with the support of his son, Crown Prince Wilhelm.
"Reich Marshal, the greatest military man hehe, the Germans can really brag" U.S.
President Franklin D.
Roosevelt dropped a telegram report from the embassy in Berlin on his desk and lit himself a cigarette.
"President, this is a propaganda ploy of the Germans," said Harry Hopkins, "and the Germans want to give the whole world the illusion that Germany is invincible and will soon win the war." ” Of course, Hersmann is not the only one who is touted by the German propaganda establishment, and there are a large number of very great, relatively great, and generally great generals under the greatest soldiers, and then there are all kinds of combat heroes.
There were aces in the air, aces who drove tanks on the ground, supermen who fell from the sky, and ace submarines and captains of auxiliary cruisers who sank many British ships.
In short, Germany is now full of superheroes who are very capable of fighting.
And there is also a wide range of advanced weapons, so it is certain to win the war.
This propaganda is carried out not only in Europe, but also in South America, Asia, Africa and the United States itself.
"President, we have to bust the myth of the Germans," Secretary of State Hull told Roosevelt, "or we're going to have problems in our backyard." ” The backyard of the United States is, of course, Latin America, where the Americans have been operating for many years, and of course their influence is very large.
Don't look at the fact that from time to time there are a few heroes of small countries who challenge the authority of the United States in Latin America, but the pro-American forces have always been very strong.
However, the pro-American faction in Latin America, like the pro-British faction in Europe, Asia, and Africa, is also a grass on the wall.

As Germany grew stronger, the voices of the pro-American faction in Latin America gradually declined, and the pro-German faction sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
If Germany continues to win like this, and the United States does not find a chance to enter the war for a long time, and the Soviet Union refuses to come forward to fight with Germany to defeat both, it is estimated that the vacillation in Latin America will be even more serious.
"But how can we help the British," Roosevelt asked, pressing one hand to his temple.
It was a nerve-wracking question, and Churchill's letters for help were sent to the White House one after another.
Roosevelt, however, felt that he was tied hand and foot and could not go to war.
And everything he can do has been done except to participate in the war.
"Mr.
President," Chief of Naval Operations Stark told Roosevelt, "the British are likely to face two decisive battles at the same time, the Battle of Gibraltar and the Battle of the Norwegian Sea, in 23 months, and if they lose one of them, they will probably face defeat." ” "Not really," Roosevelt shook his head, "the British will stay the course."
But we're going to have to find a way to help them again.
He glanced at the Chief of Naval Operations, "Harold, do you have any suggestions?"
"We can send the fleet to the Norwegian Sea," Harold Stark said.
"Oh, you're trying to get the Germans to hit them by mistake," Roosevelt looked at Harry Hopkins.
Hopkins replied: "People inside Congress and anti-war elements outside Congress will ask: How did our fleet get to the Norwegian Sea, where the war is going on."
"It doesn't seem like so," Roosevelt shrugged.
Hopkins was his brain tank and aide in coordinating the positions of the various factions in Congress.
"President, I have a suggestion."
Secretary Hull pondered at this point and said, "Maybe we can have a meeting, a meeting between you, President, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill."
The location is near Newfoundland in the northern North Atlantic. ” "What will be discussed?"
Roosevelt asked.
"Discuss how to defeat the Germans," Hull said, "and we and the British could issue a manifesto together, a manifesto against the Nazi and fascist regimes."
If this meeting and the declaration could be held and issued in the next round of the Anglo-German confrontation, it would certainly be a great blow to German morale.
If our fleet were to come close to Iceland after the declaration, it might not have to enter the Norwegian Sea at all, and it would seriously interfere with German military operations. ” "Imperial Marshal, you recommend Air Marshal Kesselring as Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Alliance" "Yes, Leader."
After the rank of Imperial Marshal was in hand, Hersmann returned to the post of Chief of the General Staff, and did not intend to continue to command the Gibraltar operation, and now the Luftwaffe and naval aviation are already very good at fighting the surface fleet, and there is no need for Hersmann to rush to the front.
With a bull like Kesselring, how could Gibraltar not be able to fight "Field Marshal Kesselring is perfectly competent," says Hersmann, "and he is well versed in air and land operations, and he is also an artillery specialist." ” Hitler looked at Defense Minister Schleicher, who nodded: "Marshal Kesselring can be allowed to go to Spain."
So who is going to be in charge of the North Sea theater" "The North Sea operation is, of course, predominantly naval," Hirschman said, "but Admiral Jeshunek has excelled in the Mediterranean theater and can succeed Admiral Graham as commander of naval aviation, alongside Marshal Raeder."
General Graeme, on the other hand, could succeed Marshal Kesselring as Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force. ” t1706231537:
