Rasputin of the East

＜ 231 episodes >

Currently, Nazi Germany’s leadership is dispersed in two places.

Paris, and Vichy.

Vichyer is the de facto headquarters of the Prime Minister Adolf Hitler, as well as the Deputy Prime Minister Djugashvili, etc., and in Paris, the Army General Headquarters and the Guards Headquarters are installed.

In addition, there is Le Havre, where the naval chiefs took refuge, the Air Force headquarters is in Vichy, and the Dutch government in exile had to leave for London again after the fall of Amsterdam, even though German troops were still barely holding on in the southern Netherlands and parts of Flanders.

Therefore, the defense of Vichy was entrusted to Reinhard Heidrich, the SD head of the group, who in many ways had the trust of Hitler and Djugashvili.

In general, he defended the capital during wartime and became a pawn of the country’s second-largest officer, and it can be said that it is a guaranteed promotion course for the person in charge of the intelligence service.

In particular, if you are the head of an intelligence agency and have independent military power, that is just the status of the next head of state.

It could be said that Heidrich had the most advantageous position in the battle for succession if Hitler and Djugashvili later resigned through this.

The problem is, what if it is neither a peaceful power nor a victorious country, but the most influential successor of a defeated country in the face of collapse?

It wasn’t good, it wasn’t very good.

Right now, someone here might cut off his head and put it at Kaiserin’s feet.

Deputy Prime Minister Jugashvili thought it was a good line. After all, it was the imperial power until quite recently.

The problem is that the offensive he led was defeated and all German territory fell into the hands of the enemy and ended in a defeat that only blew away a lot of the skilled soldiers and equipment he had. Adolf Hitler took power again.

Of course, it was still fine. Even Adolf Hitler didn’t really like him, and he trusted him quite a bit.

The problem is that the Prime Minister, who seems to be slowly losing his mind, is interfering with the operation of units by battalion, ending the war itself. Rather, Deputy Prime Minister Jugashvili even trusted the military personnel.

When this happened, the Nazis were shrouded enough to be seen by his eyes.

At first, Heidrich was not particularly faithful to Nazism. For him, Nazism was just a means to get himself ahead.

He was willing to change at any time as long as his life and status were guaranteed.

The problem is that there was a human who hit the player before that.

“You think Manstein made contact with Russia?”

“Manstein said that he would move Wilhelm II, who was recuperating in Albi, to Bordeaux under his own authority, but it was confirmed that a special train did not pass through the Bordeaux railway. I even tracked down La Rochelle and Nantes just in case.”

No, Manstein must not rebel now, the rebellion must not succeed.

It never occurred to me that Manstein could not betray. That opportunist keeps his incision to the end? A passing cat will laugh.

The problem is that Manstein is in nearby Lyon, and he is in Vichy.

Of course, that’s not enough, but for Manstein, Vichy, and the commander of Vichy’s defense, and the dignitaries within Vichy, are really good golden toads to sell in exchange for their own lives and status.

In case of an emergency, he was contemplating getting safety guarantees instead of tying up and dedicating the major ministers below Hitler, so there is no way he could not know Manstein’s mind.

So what should he do now?

‘We must suppress Manstein’s rebellion.’

Even if they were to be the subject of negotiations, they had no intention of becoming a commodity.

Arrest Manstein once, you can kill him.

Lack of evidence is not a problem. Once you catch it, grab it and run it, you can create any number of evidences.

If he captures the inner strength of the commander of the Southern Defense, headquartered in Lyon, he will become a hero, and his maneuvering will become more comfortable.

And contacting the Russian army, who was not expecting Manstein’s response, perhaps given Hitler’s suspicions, few would become the new commander of the Confederate Army, himself among the candidates.

It would be best if it were me, but it didn’t matter if it was someone else. Already, Heidrich’s brilliant brain was figuring out a way to somehow take over the command of the Confederates by abusing his power to hold the intelligence department.

And it survives by negotiating with the Russian army. I had no intention of securing a position. After all, he’s an SS, so you just have to worry that he won’t be prosecuted.

He was confident in his abilities. As long as he was not prosecuted and hanged at the war crimes tribunal, he was confident that he would rise again.

Kaiserin wouldn’t hate it, either. Who wouldn’t like a sword that can be used quietly anywhere, and that there is one free sword that does not need to be held responsible?

Looking at the current situation, I don’t think Germany will be treated so badly after the war.

“Call Selenberg and Skorzeny.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Originally, a conspiracy is only a branch, but if you cut it, half will be destroyed.

As soon as the wartime system was completely converted to a wartime system after a long, hard time, the U.S. military reached the front of the Darian Gap by destroying Mexico by mobilizing its overwhelming numbers and all the lessons learned so far to rescue the defenders who had endured with evil in the Panama Canal. had three options.

First, the Azores Islands were occupied after a battle, so the starting point for the Azores Islands was to go to the European mainland.

Second, pushing into South America like this.

Third, take over Australia and New Zealand and go to the Pacific Ocean.

It was not just a matter of ending with the War Department, it was a matter that needed the final decision of the White House.

And Huey Long concluded simply.

“Will it make a big difference if we go?”

“Given the weight of the Russian army, there is nothing that can be done much other than an attack on the British mainland.”

“Okay, then the current military force has expanded to an unprecedented level, is it possible to fight in the Pacific and South America at the same time?”

“It’s a little daunting, but it seems possible.”

“What we cannot compromise on right now is that we have to make sure that South Americans break their noses this time. And at the same time, we have to crush the Japs who slapped our brains, and we have to pay the price for the pirates who put New York into a sea of fire. Is that correct?”

“That’s right.”

“Then, the main force of the army will be South America, and the Marines, Navy, and if there is not enough, even the army will occupy Australia and New Zealand in the Pacific, and gradually retake the occupied territory of the Japs, and then attack the mainland of the Japs. Having captured the Azores and destroyed the enemy Atlantic fleet, our focus must be on the Pacific.”

The most basic US policy is the complete exclusion of threats to the mainland.

Therefore, neither South America nor the Pacific side, including the Japs, which still have a number of menacing fleets, cannot be overlooked.

Of course, the Atlantic could not be completely cleared, and the British amphibious operation would have to be carried out, but US policy was firmly established.

South America first, then Pacific first.

The threat that could reach the American mainland was unacceptable under any circumstances.

German Army Headquarters, Lyon

-bang! Tang Tang!

-Tata ta ta ta ta tata!

In an instant, the command center changed to Abigail.

The Spetsnaz, dressed in German uniforms and leisurely walking into the headquarters, started firing at the gunshots in the headquarters barracks.

The Spetsnaz crews who followed Manstein, who protested Manstein’s words, summarily executed the staff and several subordinate corps and division commanders. The division commanders and corps commanders who arrived without knowing what was going on and left their units to the chief of staff or vice division commander at the word of an emergency meeting did not survive the meeting.

And the broadcast began to ring throughout the headquarters.

-The main building is your commander, Erich von Manstein.

-Now, the main building is about to announce a major decision.

-After much deliberation, the main building has come to the conclusion that it is not Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party to whom we will be loyal in this war, but to the Imperial Family and the people of the German Empire.

– The main building is not alone, the commanders of the southern front, including the commanders of the corps and divisions, and the chief of staff who are present in this conference room, all agreed.

In fact, everyone who opposed it died.

-So, from now on, we will join the Russian army and participate in a just battle to subdue tuna weightlifters! This is solely for the sake of the German Empire, and we must pay allegiance to our rightful lord, Victoria Kaiserin, and fulfill our duties as faithful soldiers of the German Empire!

“You’re naughty.”

“Is the art of being very open-minded? By the way, what is a legitimate master, I just changed my hair because it seems like if I lose the war, my hair will hang around.”

Until now, there has been no such thing as a war criminal trial. After the Great War, there were cases in which France demanded the trial of war criminals against key figures in Germany and Austria-Hungary, but it was not achieved due to opposition from Russia and Britain.

In particular, there has not yet been a worldwide consensus that the war itself is a sin.

However, in this situation, the US and Russia have approved Kaiserin’s new German government as the official German government, and in this situation, it is highly likely that the new government will become an orthodox government recognized by the world. 100% if the Allies win the war.

And the chances of winning the war are slim, in which case the Wehrmacht generals who were stuck and loyal to the Nazis are rebels. The SS is an organization that does not exist in the law at all, so it is an armed and violent organization without any excuses.

The fact that he was in the position of a general in the rebel army alone is justifiable to be executed, especially for Manstein, who once fed big candy to Russia, it must have been a restless place. You might be executed for a crime or rot in prison for the rest of your life.

His opportunist temperament was so popular with commanders and generals alike that neither officers nor enlisted men were more surprised than necessary.

What shocked them was the loss of wireless communication.

“The Russians are disrupting communications!”

“shit! You have to tell Vichy about this… Aww!”

The captain of the SS, with a hole in his head, was straightened out.

-bang!

Moments later, a bullet flew in and shattered the radio.

“It’s Spetsnaz!”

A Panther tank rolled out of the center of the headquarters and was hit to the side by a Russian anti-tank rocket, turning it into a fireball, and AKM’s 5.45mm bullets flew into the German armed forces without mercy.

“surrender! I surrender! We swear allegiance to the new government at the command of General Manstein!”

“Looks like these traitors… huh!”

“Baby, whoever lives must live! Do you really believe that you can win this war!”

That’s when Manstein’s headquarters went into chaos.

“Keep in mind, Manstein is a traitor, so ignore whatever he says and shoot him, then his aides should be sent to Vichy for sympathy.”

“Communications near Lyon are down. The situation is unknown. The Russian army may have launched an offensive…”

“Does not matter. Quickly seize the command of the Southern Front by any means possible.”

“Pridental troops, descend.”

Otto Skorzeny and Fredenthal’s units under Reinhard Heidrich’s orders were also flying over the headquarters.

It was a total overhaul.
