Chapter Fifty-Six: The Secret Meeting
Zhuo Fei is very satisfied with his current ability to fool people, just acting in a double reed drama to win the power support of the American Jewish community, first flickering from the hands of American Jews to get a large amount of financial support, and then fooling them to go to Berlin with him to meet Hitler secretly, if this matter can be perfectly lonely, his whole plan can really be regarded as a solid foundation.
Without further ado, after contacting Gustav, Zhuo Fei returned to Berlin the next day with representatives of the American-Jewish Business Alliance, and as soon as the plane landed, Zhuo Fei had already seen Gustav waiting outside the runway through the porthole of the plane. The Americans promised to increase steel exports to Germany, and the most welcome was Gustav, who was in charge of the Krupp family, and the launch of the Leopard tank and a large number of military orders made the Krupp family's steel supply a little shortage, and the Americans' statement at this time was extremely important for the expansion of the Krupp family's military industry.
"Zhuo, my friend, welcome back to Berlin." Walking down the gangway, Zhuo Fei was almost out of breath when he was hugged by a bear by Gustav, and finally broke free of Gustav's arms, and Zhuo Fei had to hug Rita again. Rita has obviously become a mouthpiece between Hitler and Zhuo Fei, but Zhuo Fei does not regard this seemingly weak but strong woman as a simple microphone, just looking at Gustav's jealous eyes towards Rita, Zhuo Fei can guess that this Rita will not be simple.
After a brief introduction between Gustav and the Americans, the group left the airport by car and went straight to the manor where Zhuo Fei once lived, just outside Berlin. "Young man, the Führer has a surprise for you, I think you will like it." Gustav, who was in the same car, revealed a message to Zhuo Fei, but no matter how Zhuo Fei asked, Gustav did not continue to say, and Zhuo Fei guessed all the way, but he never guessed the answer.
The manor was still as quiet as when Zhuo Fei moved here, the trenches that Herfman had dug near the edge of the woodland had been filled in, and the SS soldiers who had guarded the manor had been spying on him by the way had disappeared, but Zhuo Fei knew that there would be no shortage of secret police or Gestapo who were spying on him in the manor. "Lady Rita, I urgently need to see the Führer, the Americans have brought what the Reich needs, and these need to be confirmed by the Führer himself with these Americans." There was no delay at all, just put his luggage into the room, and Zhuo Fei hurriedly found Rita.
Rita, who had long been accustomed to Zhuo Fei's style of doing things, was not surprised by Zhuo Fei's appearance, and after shooting a few arcs outward, Rita told Zhuo Fei that the head of state would go out of the city to hunt in two days. Going out of the city to hunt was naturally an excuse, and Zhuo Fei was already very familiar with Hitler's flawed excuse, so he immediately went to inform the Americans and asked them to prepare for a face-to-face conversation with Hitler.
"Gentlemen, I must first remind you that this is Germany. According to what we have agreed in advance, you and the Führer will only discuss business matters, and I will discuss the rest with the Führer in private. The Führer is a man of great conceit, and you must not talk about politics and matters concerning the Jews in front of him, for I do not want to disrupt our plans for a small oversight. Think of your compatriots who have not yet left Austria, there must be no problems in this meeting, otherwise we will have to pay a heavy price, and we must not underestimate Hitler's ability. ”
While Zhuo Fei repeatedly told the business representatives who had come to Berlin with him that the rest of the time was for them to concentrate on preparing for this momentous meeting, Zhuo Fei himself always got together with Gustav to talk about their own topics and contents. "Zhuo, as I said, as long as you can get the support of the Führer, I don't mind using the name of the Krupp family to help you get what you want." Gustav's reply made Zhuo Fei pout, nonsense, Lao Tzu gave you a large sum of dollars, which is also a good thing.
Although Zhuo Fei despised Gustav's calculations, he couldn't turn his face with this greedy old man now, because only through the Krupp family could Zhuo Fei get what he wanted in Germany. Machinery and equipment, all kinds of machine tools, munitions, these are all Zhuo Fei needs, while obtaining a large number of Jewish technicians, the shortage of hardware has become the biggest trouble Zhuo Fei is currently encountering, so he can't lose the support and help of the Krupp family now.
Hitler appeared at the manor on time two days later, and Zhuo Fei did not participate in this secret conversation, which was ostensibly a meeting between the German government and the American Jewish Business Alliance, but in fact it contained extremely sensitive topics, and Zhuo Fei did not want to be involved. The secret conversation between Hitler and others lasted for more than two hours, and when Zhuo Fei saw the expressions of those American business representatives, Zhuo Fei knew that this was done.
"Zhuo, you are a very good young man, and in you, I see the vigor of a young person and the wisdom that is not inferior to that of an adult. Now I have a big headache, how can I reward you? What about the Honorary Nationals of Germany? Hitler, who had finished the secret conversation, was in a state of extreme excitement, and when he saw Zhuo Fei again, Hitler showed some exaggerated enthusiasm, which was also the first time that Rita would take the initiative to hug someone when she saw Hitler.
"Thank you to the Führer for complimenting me, but I still have a lot to lose, if my ability is higher, maybe I don't have to bother the Führer to go back and forth." Zhuo Fei showed humility, but secretly scolded Hitler half to death in his heart. The heart said that what is the use of Lao Tzu asking for the title of honorary citizen, you simply opened the arms reserve of the Wehrmacht, and let me load a batch of finished things, how affordable it should be.
Zhuo Fei was right, Hitler had a good conversation with the representatives of the American-Jewish Business Union, and although the Americans were very cautious, Hitler had already gotten what he wanted. Increasing steel exports to Germany and increasing oil exports to Germany were not what Hitler valued most. Zhuo Fei had already helped Germany to produce oil on its own soil, and after signing a non-offensive pact with the Soviets, steel and oil were no longer the main factors that contained Germany's development.
What Hitler really cared about was the goodwill unleashed by these Americans, the energy that Jews possessed in the United States, and Hitler had heard about it. Hitler promised to hand over all Jews in Austria to Zhuo Fei and that Germany would not interfere with the flow of Jews to China in the future, while the American Jewish Union said it would lobby the government to ignore Germany's small-scale military operations and increase the export of goods to Germany.
Hitler would not have allowed the Jews to continue to live in Germany, but now there was such an opportunity, and Hitler could not get carried away with excitement just by using some dispensable Jews to exchange such a large bargaining chip for Germany. "Your Excellency, I have to remind you that the Americans are not the best allies of the Empire. When necessary, the empire also needs to be wary of the Americans, and beware of the Americans making choices that are unfavorable to the empire at critical times. ”
Hitler's forgetfulness made Zhuo Fei frown secretly, this is not a good phenomenon, Hitler must be alerted to the United States as early as possible. boldly suggested to Hitler that Zhuo Fei was actually ready to deal with the storm, but Hitler's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Zhuo Fei, and instead of blaming Zhuo Fei, the always self-righteous imperial leader pointed at Zhuo Fei and laughed.
"Young man, do you think I really believe in Americans? No, after the end of the First World War, I was told that the Americans, like the British, were disgusting vultures. They provoke wars, and then they use them to profit from the war, and in the end they are the ones who get the dividends of the war. Since then, I have known that we cannot trust the Americans, who are just as unreliable as the damned British, and we can only trust ourselves. Zhuo Fei's advice was like igniting a powder keg, and Hitler, whose words became more and more intense, began to wave his arms habitually, and his expression began to reveal a bit of hideousness.
Zhuo Fei was actually completely frightened by Hitler's current reaction, he didn't expect Hitler to be so resentful of Britain and the United States, compared to France, which bordered Germany and also won World War I, Hitler showed no indignation. After meeting with Hitler, Zhuo Fei did not receive the title of so-called honorary national, but Zhuo Fei obtained Hitler's consent, as long as he could get the money, Zhuo Fei could buy the required arms from Germany through the Krupp family.
Zhuo Fei didn't show much excitement, the printing house in the containment site couldn't hide it for long, and once Hitler learned that the printing house was able to print almost unrecognizable counterfeit banknotes, the printing house had nothing to do with him. Without counterfeit banknotes as financial support, Zhuo Fei's plan to purchase arms from Germany had to be revised, and if so, Zhuo Fei would not be able to speed up the pace of the German army's replacement of weapons, and it would be even less likely to affect the situation in Europe at the beginning of World War II.
"It's already very good, it's in Europe after all, and it's not easy for you to do this." He Fengshan, who came from Austria to meet Zhuo Fei, comforted Zhuo Fei. What this young man in front of him did, He Fengshan had already heard a lot from Vivian, just the act of saving so many civilians in Nanjing City had already made He Fengshan respect Zhuo Fei even more.
"Dr. Ho, don't talk about me yet, you did a good job, without you, those Jews would hardly have left Austria alive." Meeting with He Fengshan is the key to Zhuo Fei's next plan. "Let's not talk about those annoying things, let's talk about something related to China." Zhuo Fei's words successfully aroused He Fengshan's interest, and then waited intently for Zhuo Fei to say the following words.
