The top generals of the German High Command know that the new Führer has an incredible ant attribute, you simply can't trap him in a nest for too long, he will take every opportunity to crawl out and wander around.

Colonel Dougan changed into a new Waffen-SS autumn and winter uniform, which was already roughly the same as a normal army uniform. At present only a small number of the Waffen-SS units remained, and it seemed that the Führer was not ready to expand this unit for the time being.

The existence of the Waffen-SS had exerted an invisible pressure on the Army, both physically and mentally, which not only aroused the resentment of a large number of Army generals, but also artificially increased the burden on the Wehrmacht's command and logistics system.

Hitler's purpose in forming the Waffen-SS was originally out of distrust of the army, so he wanted to establish an independent military force outside the army, which was only under his orders, to defend the security of the Nazi regime, and at the same time to be used as a tool of military and political balance to deter some unruly senior officers within the army.

The existence of such an organization as the Waffen-SS, a monster born in a specific political environment, is in fact an imitation of the Italian Black Shirts, and there is no need to expect much imagination from the top of the Nazi group.

Xu Jun didn't want to form that fanatical and iron-blooded elite army again like in history, because for him, there was no need to do so. Unlike Hitler in history, the entire Wehrmacht was on his side, potential opponents were purged in time, his reputation inside and outside the army was so strong that most of Europe was at his feet, and he had no need to worry about any troops daring to disobey his command.

Those young people who might have been incorporated into the Waffen-SS will now serve in the regular units of the Army, Navy and Air Force, and these young people who are absolutely loyal to Xu Jun will become a shining spark that exists in every strata of the Wehrmacht.

Xu Jun's staff officers also agreed with the Führer's decision, believing that this form would be more conducive to the Führer's effective control of the German armed forces than the selection of these people separately to form an army. When these ardent admirers are scattered in every corner of the Wehrmacht, they will become the eyes of the Führer, the Führer's sword, the Führer's shield, and the potential rebels in the army will have nothing to hide.

However, the Waffen-SS unit will still remain, as it literally means, they will only be responsible for Xu Jun's personal guard duties, they are the Führer's personal Praetorian Guard and personal guards, and these units will only obey the Führer's orders before they are incorporated into other combat units.

Colonel Dougan is now the nominal supreme commander of these units, and Xu Jun has hinted that he will be promoted to general by the end of the year, and he will be the first SS general to receive a regular rank recognized by the Wehrmacht, rather than the rank that was previously practiced only within the SS. Major General Dogan sounded much more imposing than the Colonel, and the veteran never dreamed that he would have a red trim on his trouser leg.

"Sir!" Two Flag Guard soldiers at the edge of the wooden fence saluted Colonel Dogan.

Dogan gave a military salute and strode into the fence. It was a glorious event for the farmer to be in the presence of a private hunting ground on the outskirts of Berlin, owned by a regional head of the Agrarian Autonomous Corps, who was flattered not only by vacating the farm where the family lived, but also by vacating the dormitories of a large number of agricultural workers as barracks for the Flag Guard.

Skirting the path through a pond, a patrolling cavalry appeared in front of Dogan.

"Salute!" The cavalry platoon commander took the reins of his horse and gave the command, and the second lieutenant sat on his saddle and straightened his back to salute the approaching colonel.

"The Führer is still by the river?" Dougan asked after returning the salute.

"Yes, sir." The second lieutenant replied.

"Very well, you go on." Dogan nodded, and continued walking along the path trodden out of the lawn.

"This is just the beginning, we can't be too blunt, and if we make them wary, it will be more than worth the loss." Xu Jun sat on a recliner with a skewer of barbecue in his hand.

"Sometimes a little bit of muscle flexing is a good thing for both parties, so that they don't make the wrong judgment and cause unnecessary disputes." Wehrle sat in a chair to the side, a glass of orange juice in his hand.

"This time the Eye of Odin performed very well, the front-line commander of the North American Bureau should be commended, report the materials of the meritorious personnel this time, and I will personally issue their medals." Xu Jun threw the gnawed iron drill into the bucket beside him.

"The operation in North America will continue as planned, and some of the personnel who have been exposed, except for those who are responsible for external liaison, will be evacuated within three weeks." Kirsten tore a small piece of chicken from the roasted wings with his fingers and put it in his mouth.

"It's a little lighter, Eric, brush up on some more sauce." Xu Jun turned back to the adjutant who was supervising the chef's barbecue.

"Yes, my Führer." Tysenhofen replied loudly with a skewer of beef in his hand.

"After Roosevelt is gone, isolationism in the United States will take over, and they will completely shrink their scattered forces abroad, which is good news for us." Wehrle uses a fork to stick the meat on his plate.

"The same is true for the Japanese, and the United States may stop interfering in Asian affairs." Kirsten said.

"No, you didn't understand what the Americans were thinking. For them, isolationism is confined to European affairs. The theoretical basis they follow is the speech made by Washington before he retreated, and the United States should avoid being bewitched and used by European forces and getting involved in the whirlpool of European countries vying for power and profit. These words were actually aimed at Britain, and this incident made Americans even more convinced that their father's prophecy was correct.

However, Washington did not say anything about Asia, and of course Asia was too far away from the United States at that time, which became a loophole for future generations to exploit, and for isolationists, American interests in Asia were also included in their guard. Xu Jun shook an iron chisel full of chicken hearts and gave a lesson to his subordinates with great interest.

"You mean that the United States will continue to be involved in Asia?" Kirsten didn't seem to understand.

"No, they will continue to shrink their forces in Asia, but until then, they will try to minimize the potential threat of war, and if I am right, I believe the Americans will make a big mistake on this issue."

"You mean, they will put tough pressure on Japan?"

"With the character of the Americans, they are likely to do this, after all, the information we send them is full of real material."

"The fact that the Japanese actually built a battleship with a full load of 72,000 tons is really enough to make the Americans wary." Kirsten laughed and threw the chicken bones in the trash.

"U.S. policy will shift toward commercial interests and abandon political demands, and if that happens, our current problems will soon be alleviated." Wehrle said.

"The U.S. will become our processing plant and material warehouse, even if temporarily, and it will play a very big role in the completion of our strategic plan. The problem now is that the production of armaments in the United States has been stagnant for too long, and it will take time to start in full swing, and at the current rate, we may not be able to wait for their complete transformation to be completed, and if the situation does not change too much, it may not be until after the outbreak of war, and their military production has just entered the state. Kirsten said.

"So now we have to find a way to push behind the back, guide them with orders, confuse them with intelligence, and buy them with benefits, and this task will be handed over to the Eye of Odin." Xu Jun said with a smile.

"Yes, my Führer." Kirsten nodded in obligation.

"Colonel Dougan is here, my Führer." At this time, Tysenhofen reported from the side.

"You're late, Dogan." Xu Jun turned his face when he heard this, and when he saw his subordinates coming from a distance, the head of the empire raised a skewer to greet him.

"My Führer." Dogen trotted a few steps to Xu Jun's side, and saluted Xu Jun with a serious face.

"What happened? Doggett. Seeing Daogen's expression, Xu Jun also sank his face, obviously something major had happened.

"My Führer, I just received a call from the High Command, just half an hour ago, the Italian army crossed the Albanian-Greek border and launched a full-scale invasion of Greece." Dougan Chest Forward.

"It's finally started, and this bastard finally can't take it anymore." Xu Jun threw the skewers in his hand onto the plate and stood up with excitement on his face.

"Do you want to go back to Berlin immediately? My Führer. Weirle asked.

"No, I have already made arrangements, as soon as Italy starts to act, immediately activate the [Aldrich Plan], the high command should have issued a combat order by now." Xu Jun held his back and circled around the small table.

"Everything was already in place, but there was nothing I needed to do now. Now wait to receive Keitel's first report. Okay, Dogan, what would you like to eat? The wings here are good, Eric, give the Colonel one and roast me two more tongues. Xu Jun rolled over and sat back in his recliner.

At this moment, far away in Vienna, in the German Army Campaign Group Headquarters, Keitel had a telegram from the High Command in front of him, which contained only three letters [THE].

"The order of the High Command has been given, [Theodoric], repeat [Theodoric]." Keitel put down the phone receiver in his hand, left his desk and walked to the map desk.

THE GERMAN CHIEF OF STAFF PUT THE TELEGRAM FROM THE HIGH COMMAND ON THE TABLE, AND BELOW IS THE ORIGINAL ALDRICH PLAN, WHEN THE ODERICUS WAS PRECEDED BY THE THE, THE LATIN PHRASE "THEODERICUS" WAS FORMED, WHICH IS THE NAME OF THE GERMAN KING WHO DESTROYED THE WESTERN ROMAN EMPIRE.
