Chapter 510 Miracle Creator
The snow under the tree just a few meters away reflected a miserable white light under the moonlight, as if it was a pile of bones piled under the tree, which made Hitler suddenly feel terrified.
Having already swallowed the bitter fruit of failure in 1941, Hitler had already anticipated the miserable situation of the Soviet winter. The photos and oral experiences brought back by the frontline reporters did not allow Hitler to refute them. The snow in winter also became Hitler's most disgusting and unbearable thing.
Hitler, who felt very headache when seeing the snow, felt a little dizzy at the moment. The adjutant who followed closely behind him hurried forward to support the head of state's shaky body, fearing that Hitler would fall to the ground if he could not stand steadily.
Hitler, who indicated that he could stop walking outside, turned back to the Wolf's Lair. The past experiences since the launch of Operation Barbarossa began to be presented in front of Hitler like slides.
"The enemy has been defeated! The evil Bolshevik's broken door has been kicked to the ground by us, and Stalin can never stand up again!"
The impassioned speech delivered in September when the troops were heading straight for Moscow echoed in Hitler's ears again. The ecstasy at that time seemed to have become a thing of the past.
The terrifying cold wave that occurs once in 140 years has caused the unlucky German army to fall in the severe winter that even Stalin has never seen.
The Siberian troops transferred by Stalin from the Far East Military Region made the German army's situation more difficult. These experienced hunters with skis on their feet and Mosin-Nagant rifles on their backs hunted German soldiers like hunting wild wolves. The German soldiers who were frozen into German sticks could not withstand this flexible attack of hammers and sticks.
The bad situation on the front line began to be heard by Hitler more and more in the form of paper cannot cover the fire.
Hitler instinctively realized that the Wehrmacht dominated by the Junker nobles would probably betray him again, just as they had betrayed the Kaiser. After firing Guderian, his distrust and suspicion grew day by day. One day in December, Hitler, who could no longer hold back his anger at the terrible situation on the front line, finally picked up the phone.
"My Führer, we can't hold on any longer! Those Russians are charging at us like crazy, and their numbers can break our positions!"
"Our machine guns are overheated in the winter, but the Russians are still charging in dense numbers! The people in front fell down, and the people behind stepped on the corpses and rushed up again, shouting Ura. This is really terrible!"
"We can't hold on any longer, Führer! The soldiers have begun to collapse, it's time to retreat!"
The pleading words from hundreds of kilometers away made Hitler extremely annoyed. Hitler, who almost threw the microphone out of the window, suppressed his anger and asked sharply.
"Sir, where do you want to retreat? To Paris or Berlin? How many kilometers do you plan to retreat?"
The Führer had never expected that he would ask such a question, and the panicked commander of the Wehrmacht Infantry Division almost responded subconsciously.
"I don't know, my Führer."
An inconspicuous spark completely ignited the powder keg in Hitler's heart, and the furious Hitler released all his anger in an instant.
"Since you don't know, I'll tell you! It's just as cold even if you retreat a few dozen kilometers! Can you take away heavy weapons when you retreat? If not, do you plan to use your head to hit the Russian bayonet in the future?"
"You said you have no choice, then well, I now officially allow you to retreat back to Germany! Leave the army to me! If you can't fight, let me command for you! Because I'm at least a soldier!"
Pah——
A famous movie in later generations described Hitler's posture of throwing the phone very well. Hitler, who was furious and almost about to explode, added an order for the German troops on the front line to hold their positions and not retreat a step.
Any Wehrmacht officer who dared to disobey the will of the Führer was fired by Hitler. On the contrary, the Waffen SS on the front line still shouted "Long live the Führer" like a fire in winter, burning with fighting spirit and fighting desperately with the counterattack Soviet army.
The sharp contrast made Hitler more convinced of his judgment. Those high-ranking Wehrmacht officers composed of Junker nobles were deliberately deceiving and blinding him. The defeat in Moscow was caused by these idiots who did not carry out their orders to the end.
Recalling these past scenes, Hitler felt a burst of anger and inexplicable humiliation. Thinking that winter would be completely over and the snow would melt in a few months, Hitler gnashed his teeth and spit out every word in a tone that could chew bones.
"Everything must be ended in 1942!"
The two great heads of state in the East and the West both vowed to put the other in place in 1942. The only difference was that Stalin chose to use a high-level military meeting to show his determination as a general, while Hitler intended to use his best talent to seduce those young German officers to serve the country, which was speech.
Hitler, who was honored by world historians as "the strongest orator of the 20th century", used his mouth to accomplish one impossible miracle after another, and finally climbed to the throne of the head of state, where God was the boss and I was the second.
And now, Hitler decided to stage a miracle again, and let his oratory talent win victory for the Third Reich.
On the day when the appointed day came, 10,000 young officers who had just been awarded medals filled the entire Berlin Stadium. When Hitler, wearing an ordinary soldier's Iron Cross medal on his chest, appeared on the podium, the grassroots quasi-officers of the Wehrmacht, who were as young as babies, immediately burst into a tsunami of enthusiastic applause.
At the beginning of the speech, Hitler unexpectedly did not avoid the winter defeat under the city of Moscow, but directly admitted it all and described all the heavy losses as real.
But if you think Hitler is making a "confession", you are wrong.
The eloquent Hitler lived up to the nickname of "the strongest orator of the 20th century" given to him by later historians. With a wave of his hand, Hitler, who seemed to recreate the scene of sweeping out a group of high-ranking Wehrmacht officials, began to blame and take credit.
A large number of high-ranking Wehrmacht officers who had been fired, including Brauchitsch, were pulled out by Hitler to be "whipped" on the spot. Hitler mocked that it had become a "glorious tradition" for German generals to submit their resignations in times of crisis, and said that he alone withstood the pressure and saved the German soldiers on the front line under such circumstances.
Faced with Hitler's hysterical and roaring speech that turned black and white, the young officers in the audience didn't even know whether they were moved or angry to the point of tears, and the thunderous applause sent Hitler to the peak.
"You know, we have defeated a kind of fate! This fate destroyed another person more than 130 years ago, a person who was revered as the greatest emperor by our defeated men! Germany has won the victory over fate, long live the Third Reich!"
The hysterical and crazy roar and the right hand clenched into a fist and raised beside the forehead were like a tower, radiating infinite and powerful spiritual power to every young and fanatical heart in the audience, no less than the roar of the Soviet army's charge, and then the ceiling of the Berlin Stadium was blown off. It was a pity that the Berlin Stadium built in the open air did not have a ceiling.
"Long live Hitler!!!"
The speech that would definitely be drowned in saliva and abuse in the Western world in the 21st century, which turned black and white, not only made the young officers fall into hysterical frenzy, but was also accepted by almost all the German government and the general public who listened to the radio.
In the latest German poll statistics conducted immediately after this speech, Hitler's support rate directly climbed from the original 91% to an even more amazing 2%. This is an epic miracle that will make any Western politician laugh in his dreams in the future!
