    Night ruled the city. Although the street lights were on and it was not very late, there were no people on the streets. Only some SS patrols occasionally appeared at brightly lit intersections.  There are basically no civilian vehicles visible on the road. Most of the ones driving are military vehicles. Several SS "Panther" tanks were parked at the intersection, adding to the chilling atmosphere in the city.  This is Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is curfew time now. Although people with passes can go out, most citizens who hold passes still choose to stay at home. Unless Allied bombers appear, they would rather not leave their homes in order to  Reduce unnecessary troubles. As Berlin citizens, people have become accustomed to this deserted nightlife. The bustling nightlife of the past has disappeared long after the Nazis came to power, because in the Nazis' view, those lavish lives will lead to the destruction of the entire German nation.  The decadence and demise of Germany, therefore, Germans must learn to adapt to the new disciplined life.  The intersection is very heavily guarded and every passing car must be inspected by sentries.  Now, a black car just drove to the intersection in front of the Capitol and was stopped by the sentry for inspection. When a person in the car handed over an ID, the officer on duty immediately handed the ID back.  "Your Excellency, Marshal, you can pass." The officer raised his hand and let the car go.  Sitting in the car, Rommel expressionlessly put the document back into his uniform pocket. The adjutant driving the car stepped on the accelerator, and the car immediately accelerated, passed through the Brandenburg Gate, and finally reached the Hermann Goer.  The car was parked in front of a hotel on Lin Street.  Entering the hotel, the adjutant was the first to stand in front of the hotel manager on duty and reported their reservation information.  "Please come with me, Mr. Marshal, your room is on the top floor. We have specially prepared one of the most luxurious rooms in our hotel for you. You will definitely be satisfied." The manager on duty led Marshal Rommel and his adjutant in.  The elevator quickly reached the top floor and found the marshal his room.  "I'm very satisfied. Please prepare dinner for us immediately. We haven't eaten anything from noon to now." Marshal Rommel was very satisfied with this room. After giving the manager on duty a few words, he took off his coat and sat on the sofa.  Go down.  "Marshal, I'm going to urge the kitchen to prepare dinner as soon as possible." After the adjutant hung Marshal Rommel's coat on the hanger, he left the guest room, leaving Marshal Rommel alone.  Sitting on the sofa, Rommel closed his eyes and carefully recalled the scene when he met Hitler this afternoon. If you want to ask him what he felt, it was "tired". Facing a stubborn dictator, Rommel  I was really tired. Hitler's roar brought Rommel not only fatigue, but also disappointment.  People change. Rommel believed that Hitler had changed too much. In the past, he was a person who was easy to follow advice, but now, he is a willful and arrogant paranoid. Perhaps, the Hitler of the past was a paranoid.  , but the success in the early stage concealed his paranoid character. Now, his true face has been completely exposed, and it has been exposed in an unreasonable manner.  "If destiny is destined to completely destroy the German nation, then let it perish. A weak nation and race that is cowardly and dominated by other strong nations and races has no reason to continue to exist. If Germany cannot rule Europe gloriously,  Then, let¡¯s perish with glory.¡± Hitler¡¯s roars in the afternoon still seemed to be echoing in Rommel¡¯s ears. Rommel could not imagine that in order to realize his so-called ideal, a man would not hesitate to drag all Germans towards the cliff together.  , and this road leading to the cliff can actually lead to other directions, but Hitler was unwilling to turn around.  As a senior general, Rommel already knew some of the inside stories of the Cairo peace talks, including the conditions offered by the Allies. According to these conditions, Germany only needed to withdraw its troops from those occupied countries. As long as the Nazi group was liquidated,  The international community after the war will not treat Germany as a defeated country, and will not extort war reparations from Germany. The international community will sign a peace treaty with the new German government that will not pay reparations or cede territory. More importantly, the international community will not treat Germany as a defeated country.  , the international community will recognize Germany's sovereignty over the Danzig Corridor, the Sudetenland and other areas. In other words, through this peace treaty, Germany will not only avoid being divided by the victorious group of powers, but it can even get back part of what was lost due to the "Treaty of Versailles"  The land has such good conditions that even the deputy head of the Nazi Party, Rudolf Hess, was tempted, but Hitler still stubbornly insisted on his opinion, which was to "refuse and refuse again", and he seemed to have a reason, that is  , this so-called "The "international community" does not include the United States, Britain and France. Indeed, in his telegram to Hitler, German Deputy Head of State Rudolf Hess, who led the peace talks delegation in Cairo, clearly told everyone that throughout the Cairo peace talks, the United States, Britain and France  , France, the Soviet Union and other countries have always been relatively cold. Only China and Asian countries have shown "a certain degree of enthusiasm." In fact, among the countries that support signing a "no reparations and no ceding of territory" peace treaty with Germany  , most of which are members of the Asian Alliance. In other words, Western countries led by the United States are not interested in this "no reparations, no ceding of territory" peace treaty, and the French government-in-exile has even said that even if the U.S. government will  After signing such a peace treaty, the French government will never recognize the validity of this peace treaty. Even if the Nazi group is liquidated, France must seek "justice" from all Germans, just like the Treaty of Versailles after World War I.  It played such a role in completely dismantling Germany's war potential for a period of time. It was the hysteria in France that gave Hitler an excellent excuse to continue the war. He insisted that one of France and Germany must be ruled.  , either France will be ruled by Germany, or Germany will be ruled by France. If the latter becomes a reality, then the German nation might as well perish with glory now. Just like the slogan shouted by the Japanese Empire after being bombed by the atomic bomb, the Germans should "whole the country"  "Jade is broken into pieces", and cannot be content with it. Even if all German territory is turned into ruins, France will never get any advantage. However, in Rommel's view, Hitler's idea is not realistic. Germany is not Japan, and neither are the Germans.  The Japanese and Germans are rational. When the balance of war is no longer tilted towards Germany, seeking reconciliation is the embodiment of reason, instead of hysterically clamoring to die with the enemy like Hitler. It is for this reason that Rommel is today.  In the afternoon, almost four hours were spent trying in vain to persuade Hitler to change his mind and agree to sign a peace treaty with the Allies, at least with the Asiatic League, in exchange for a clear reminder to the Allies that the German people would not accept their leader.  Being tried by the Allied courts, even if a trial is needed, can only be tried by Germany's own courts in accordance with German laws. It was Rommel's "extremely naive and ridiculous" suggestion that made Hitler furious. He not only reprimanded Rommel, but also  It was announced on the spot that Marshal Rommel had been relieved of most of his posts, leaving only his position in the General Staff. "I am afraid that Rommel is the only person who can say in front of Hitler that the Nazi group should be judged according to the laws of the Weimar Republic era."  and several other generals, and this happened to offend Hitler's biggest taboo. No ruler can tolerate betrayal. In Hitler's view, Rommel's behavior was no different from betrayal, so he did not hesitate to lift the  Rommel's command was no longer even discussed today. He was asked to go to the headquarters to negotiate the withdrawal of the African Corps from Algeria to Spain. There is nothing more disturbing than a marshal being relieved of military command.  What about people who are depressed?  Especially under the current war situation, Rommel simply couldn't imagine what kind of chaos would happen to the German army there when the Allies launched a general attack on Algeria after the fall of Sicily. Moreover, Vichy France's recent  The action was very suspicious, and it was difficult to guarantee that the Vichy French troops would not stab the Germans in the back when the Allies attacked from the front.  Originally, Hitler summoned Rommel back to Berlin from the North African front line to negotiate the retreat plan of the Afrika Korps. Faced with the Allied nuclear blackmail of using atomic bombs on the German troops in North Africa, Hitler did have the possibility to change his stubborn stance, but now, he has  Rommel was very worried that the new Afrika Korps commander might destroy the entire Afrika Korps.  Rommel regretted a little. He should have listened to Stauffenberg's advice. Hitler was indeed showing signs of going crazy now. A former idealist has now suffered an unprecedented failure. His spirit is very likely to collapse, and Hitler  On the verge of collapse, his work is no longer guided by reason and intuition, but by a delusion that is difficult to grasp. This delusion will not only kill Hitler, but also kill many Germans.  If no action is taken, Germany may indeed be completely destroyed.  After sitting on the sofa and thinking for a few minutes, Rommel finally made a decision. He stood up, walked to the phone, picked up the receiver, hesitated, and then dialed a number.  The person who answered the phone was Colonel Stauffenberg, Field Marshal Rommel's adjutant and staff officer.  "Colonel, please go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow morning, the head of state will convene a military meeting. At the meeting, the head of state will personally express his opinions. Although I have been dismissed, before I leave the manor, the head of state has named me to attend tomorrow.  For the military meeting in the morning, I need a rich person?A senior staff officer with actual combat experience followed me, carrying some documents brought from the North African battlefield. I thought about it, and the most trustworthy staff officer around me now is you. At seven-thirty tomorrow morning, please drive to my hotel.  Come, let's go to the manor together.  " "Yes, Marshal, I will pick you up on time.  " Hearing Stauffenberg's steady voice, Marshal Rommel let out a long sigh and pressed down the phone. Then, as if he had collapsed, he sat back on the sofa feebly and sank deeply into the sofa.  . A sense of relief filled Rommel's heart, and the last trace of bondage deep in his heart had been removed. Maybe he could sleep well tonight, but he might also be unable to sleep all night long. Maybe tomorrow would be the last time in Germany.  There is a chance, because tomorrow is the deadline for the Allied ultimatum. After the deadline, Germany may be subject to a strategic nuclear strike by the Allied Air Force. American bombers, Chinese strategic missiles, these destructive strategic weapons,  It makes people shudder to think about it. If tomorrow's action cannot be successful, maybe Germany will have no chance, and the German nation will also be burdened with the crimes imposed by the victorious country and disappear in the long river of history. In the future, maybe the only thing left is  The legend of this nation and this country [Niu Wen¡¯s No Advertising Novel Dedication]
