Chapter 23: I'll go all the way, part 1.
3:00 pm
Goebbels had just entered the Gestapo headquarters. The building's atrium was large, and contained a reception with a counter behind which stood two SS. When they saw her they both raised theirs right arm.
"Heil Hilda!" They greeted her, in unison.
"Heil Hilda." She replied, arching her arm up.
"What do we owe your visit to, Schulminister?" She asked her first girl.
"I need to speak to Heydrich right away!" She answered.
"Heydrich is absent right now."
"Then with Globus!"
"Globus is currently on the third floor, in her office. Will I show you the way? "
"I know it by heart!" And she dictated what he walked, taking the corridor to the right.
Like every day, the Gestapo headquarters were in full swing: in the corridors the girls came and went, and in the air there were voices and ringing of telephones.
The beating heart of our espionage, counter-espionage and security service ...
She thought, glancing around her.
Distracted by her thoughts, she bumped into a girl with long, straight sandy hair and black eyes, carrying a large pile of documents, which she ruined on the ground by scattering various papers on the floor.
"Look where you go, bitch!" She scolded her, angry.
" I'm sorry!" She apologized to the poor woman, while she busied herself with collecting the documents.
"What's going on here?" She asked a girl with short black hair and eyes of the same color.
"Müller… A little accident. Did you question the two spies? "
"Ja, Schulminister."
"What did they say?"
"They infiltrated aboard while we were stopping in Istanbul. Their job was to gather information on our strategies for the upcoming match. "
"I understand."
"When will we release them?"
"After the final. Order of Hilda. "
The girl named Müller nodded.
"Where is it…"
"In the prison sector, of course."
Meanwhile, the girl who had inadvertently bumped into Goebbels had finished collecting her paperwork and, embarrassed, she walked away.
"I understand ... But the other two?"
Goebbels looked annoyed.
"From today they are our students and members of the Panzerfahren Team .. Weren't you present at the ceremony?"
"Nein, I was busy with office work. Is it perhaps a prize for saving Eve? "
"Take away the perhaps..."
"Will they be part of the core team?"
All we need is this ...
Goebbels thought, disgusted at the very idea.
"Foreign Legion, Yorktown and Rodrigo de Vivar divisions. Tank commanders."
Müller looked puzzled.
"Schulminister, don't you think this is a premature decision? We don't know if they have what it takes to be part of the team, let alone for the role of commander. "
"I think so too. But the advice is on their side. And how well you know going against the decisions of Hilda and the others is not wise. "
"I understand ... Are you here to see someone?"
"Ja, I have to see Globus. I have to go now." Having said that, she resumed her journey.
Müller followed her with her eyes, then walked back into her office.
