Chapter 305: Imperial Chancellery

At the end of the speech, the officials followed the Führer out of the stadium, and the group re-boarded the bus in front of the Brandenburg Gate, and the motorission turned right like the street leading to the Chancellery.

The street was renamed Hermann after the Nazis came to power. Goeringstrasse, but for well-known reasons, Hitler ordered the removal of the street signs, but before he could give it a new name, His Excellency the Führer lost his life on the French front. It was not until Xu Jun came to power that he ordered it to be changed back to its original name, Albert Strasse, which was named in honor of the then Weimar President Friedrich Friedrich. Albert rises.

The German Chancellery is located not far from the Brandenburg Gate, and some of Germany's most important government agencies are located in this area. Turning left on Albert Straße, the convoy drove past the side entrance of the Chancellery on Vossstrasse, where tall square columns supported a heavy granite lintel inlaid with a huge stone eagle emblem.

"I know you don't like Hitler's design very much, my Führer, please give me a little more time, I already have a plan for this," Goebbels leaned forward from the seat behind Xu Jun and whispered.

"Don't talk about it outside, Goebbels." Xu Jun frowned slightly and glanced at the Propaganda Minister.

"I'm sorry, my Führer." Goebbels quickly apologized respectfully and sat back in his seat.

At this time, Borman, who was sitting next to Goebbels, showed a sneer on his face, and he turned his head to squeeze his eyes at Himmler, who was sitting in the third row, but Himmler shrugged his shoulders at him inexplicably. "I'm really stupid." Borman turned back to himself in displeasure.

The address of the Chancellery is No. 4 Voss Strasse on the government registration form, and it stands to reason that the side door on Voss Straße should be regarded as the main entrance, but Hitler had to open the main gate on one side of the whole building, and explicitly ordered that all visitors must enter and exit through the gate of 73 Wilhelmstrasse, and only a limited number of high-ranking Nazi officials were eligible to enter the Chancellery through the "side door" on Wirth Street.

The convoy stopped at the corner of Wilhelm Street. Only the Führer's car could enter the patio of the Prime Minister's Office through the ticket gate, and other cars could only be parked along the street, because there were so many of them, that some cars could only be parked on Wilhelmplatz opposite the Prime Minister's Office.

The Führer had just returned to the heart of the empire, and as usual, he needed to rest for two days to settle down, and by the way, let Xu Jun familiarize himself with the facilities and environment of his future office and residence. In addition, there is the placement of personnel and equipment such as the retinue of adjutants, secretaries, etc. The re-entry of the guards, together with the cooks, servants, orderlies, convoy drivers, etc., etc., obviously had a great deal of work to be done at once.

The officials said goodbye to the Führer at the entrance of the Chancellery, and they were to rush back to their units, where they waited for the evening celebration of all the middle and senior officials stationed in Berlin, the first time since Hitler's death that the Nazi government had held such a large gathering of officials. It's a great opportunity to connect with new colleagues, many of whom had been preparing for tonight's event even a week ago.

Goebbels and Himmler were the last to say goodbye, and Xu Jun promised that they would be summoned separately the next day, and the two reluctantly boarded their respective cars and left. In the end, only his adjutant team and Martin were left by Xu Jun's side. Borman, the latter was deliberately left by him, Xu Jun had a lot of questions in his heart that needed to be discussed with him in detail, and I believe that the imperial governor could give him some useful advice, such as the huge and magnificent Prime Minister's Office in front of him. Who else is more familiar with this place than the designer and Hitler.

Xu Jun raised his head. Looking around the empty patio in front of the main entrance of the Chancellery, this courtyard surrounded by high walls is known as the House of Honor, also known as the ceremonial hall, where Hitler inspected and honored meritorious officers. In the original history, in the last days of the Third Reich, Hitler left a lot of vivid images of official business here. It's in this compound. With trembling hands, Hitler honored the German officers and soldiers, and immediately pushed them back into the bloody battlefield.

Every detail of the main entrance of the Chancellery shows the majesty of the empire to outsiders, and the whole has a strong style of ancient Roman temples. Tall Roman columns, marble steps, bronze statues on either side of the gate. There is also a delicate winged eagle emblem on the lintel, which gives people a solemn feeling, and just standing here makes people feel awe-inspired.

The bronze statues on both sides of the stairs have a special meaning, the man holding the torch on the left represents the party and guides the people with light, and the man on the right represents the army and defends the country with weapons.

"My Führer." Martin. Borman stood on the steps and greeted respectfully, Xu Jun glanced up at the chief steward, and then stepped onto the marble steps.

Standing under the pillar, the two soldiers of the Guard Flag Corps, dressed in crisp black formal dresses, wearing white ceremonial belts around their chests and waists, and holding chrome 98K ceremonial rifles in their hands, are now standing their rifles erected in front of them, greeting the new owner of the mansion with their guns in salute. Xu Jun raised his cane and slightly knocked the brim of his hat to salute the sentry, and followed Borman into the gate of the Prime Minister's Palace.

Passing through the tall main entrance, the first step is an ornately decorated foyer, where the entourage of visitors who have not been granted the right to appear in the audience waits. The floor is covered with a high-quality wool carpet, a circle of sofa chairs against the wall, and every few chairs, and a decorative potted plant in the middle.

The first room is the famous Mosaic Room, a room decorated with burgundy marble and geometric panels and tapestries, high and empty without a single piece of furniture or furnishings, topped by a hollow glass canopy, through which the sun shines on the red marble floor, giving people an indescribable sense of grandeur. At the end of the room, the two towering doors, with their gray marble pillars and the golden eagle emblem on top, remind visitors of where they are.

"It's not the first time I've been here, but the building still struck me every time." Dogan exclaimed.

"You'll be here from now on, Colonel Dogen, and trust me, you'll soon get used to it." After Borman finished speaking, he walked to the second door, and the two guards who had been waiting there pushed open the door.

Behind the mosaic room is a small circular hall, illuminated only by a large white ceiling lamp, decorated with beige decorative panels and a square pot full of flowers in the corners. There is a theory that this was designed by Hitler, so that visitors can suddenly enter a dimly lit narrow area from the bright flower hall, and they will instinctively feel a sense of confusion and unease, and a kind of psychological suppression. However, Xu Jun seems that the truth is not as evil as the legend says, this is just a transitional room, and there is no need to lock visitors inside, not to mention that the visitors are not only opponents, but more German allies. According to Xu Jun's view, the meaning of the existence of the small rotunda is actually to make visitors feel more shocked when they see the next room, so as to satisfy Hitler's love of showing off.

When Borman pushed open the door of the small round hall, a huge marble corridor appeared in front of Xu Jun ten meters high, twelve meters wide, and two hundred meters long. The ground is paved with smooth reddish-brown marble, and the polished light is recognizable, and Xu Jun's leather-soled leather boots can feel the smoothness of the marble when he steps on it. Speer is said to have warned Hitler that the ground was too slippery and could cause visitors to slip, and Hitler's unexpected answer was to make them walk on thin ice here, which would make them more intimidating. Obviously, this is another false rumor, and there are more Nazi officials who come and go here, but none of them are here.

"My Führer, I have replaced a new batch of works at your request, and the original paintings have been placed in the underground storage room." Borman introduced it attentively.

"I saw it, it was very well done, and I was satisfied." Xu Jun nodded slightly in praise. This marble gallery, known as the Third Reich Hall of Mirrors, is not a painting hanging on the wall, but a huge embroidered tapestry more than two people high, most of the content on which is related to religious mythology and ancient warfare, at Xu Jun's request, has now been replaced with a number of new works, although it is also some legends and war pictures, but compared to Hitler's taste is much higher.

The group walked down the empty corridor, with only the sound of leather boots on the marble floor, and on one side of the corridor there were five tall doors, surrounded by heavy black-gray marble doorposts, and carpets on both sides of the doorways with sofa chairs for the waiters to rest. In front of the gate in the middle, two heavily armed soldiers of the Flag Corps stood guard on either side, because on the other side of this door was the heart of the Prime Minister's Office, the Imperial Chancellor's Office.

"You see, we've replaced the logo, my Führer." Borman said, standing by the door, pointing above the lintel. Originally, there was a representative of Adolf. Hitler's coat of arms with the word A.H, and now a marble plaque of the same style is placed on it, but the text in the middle has been changed to LVS, which is the abbreviation of Reinhardt von Städler.

"Please come in, my Führer, and from this day onwards everything here belongs to you." As he spoke, Borman gently pushed open the door in front of him. (To be continued.) )
