The broadcast studio of the Berlin Broadcasting Building is brightly lit, and the crew is making technical preparations for an emergency broadcast, the second time in half a month that they have done such a thing. Although a lot of routes need to be adjusted, they are hard-working and willing: because the news that is about to be announced is enough to ignite the blood of the whole people!

"The High Command of the German Empire announced to the world that at 11 a.m. local time on June 14, the German army occupied the entire city of Paris. The French resistance had completely collapsed, and our troops entered the city without any fighting. This glorious moment will surely go down in the glorious annals of the German army and nation: after seeing the dawn of victory twice in 1914 and 1918, our army finally held this trophy firmly in its hands! ……”

Before Rockwell finished reading his speech, all parts of Germany were filled with landslides and tsunami-like cheers, and countless passers-by who had never known each other hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes, and their excitement was close to madness. In the past 20 years, the German people's hatred for France can be described as a vast sea, and Paris, as a nest of crime, has been gritted and hated by the Germans, who have gritted their teeth and threatened to enter the French capital to avenge the blood feud of the "Versailles Treaty" of that year. Now, this long-awaited wish of 80 million Germanic people has finally come true, how can they not cheer and cheer?

What made the German people even more obsessed and crazy was that it only took 35 days from the outbreak of the war on the Western Front to the occupation of Paris! Compared with the four-year stalemate of the last war, today's success can no longer be said to be a great victory, but an epic victory. The dazzling brilliance of this war is enough to cover the history of human warfare and become a myth and legend of the mountains - France, known as the world's first army, coupled with the vast military capacity composed of Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands, was swept away by the German army in only one month, and all of them were destroyed and destroyed!

Rockwell, who was in the broadcast studio, couldn't hear the shouts of the people of the whole country, and continued to broadcast in a straight voice: "...... German citizens. We don't need to grieve over the sufferings of the past, because we are long since freed from them. We don't need to get carried away with today's victory, because there will be even greater success in the future. Today the red flag flies over the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and tomorrow it will be Big Ben in London. Under the outstanding leadership of Braunau's great man, Germany will be able to move from victory to even more brilliant victory! ”

Although the East Coast of the United States was still sleeping in the cool breeze of the early hours of the morning due to the time difference, the media workers who had already gone to work jumped up from their chairs and began to write today's morning report with great enthusiasm. There is no doubt that the German occupation of Paris is definitely a big news sensation in the world, and if used properly, it is enough to make a qualitative leap in the sales of their newspapers.

At about 6 o'clock in the morning, the director of the newspaper rushed to various neighborhoods in New York with a large bag full of newspapers. They were holding wooden signs with the words "Paris Falls" written in bold and a photo of the Eiffel Tower flying a flag. Soon, the news showed its immense impact. American citizens who went out to work first habitually glanced at the wooden sign held up by the newspaper seller, and then their eyes suddenly widened, and in the midst of the exclamations and screams, the newspaper seller's surroundings were immediately crowded!

"God, the French war bonds I bought!" A man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly let out a wail, and the heart-rending cry made everyone around tremble when they heard it. He quickly read the front-page news at a glance and ten lines, and then covered his head with the newspaper in pain: "It's over, it's all over now." Paris was effortlessly occupied by Germany, France could not hold out for a few more days, and all my deposits were finished! ”

"Poor Matt, how can a full 9 percent of usury be so easy to get?" A fat man who was familiar with the man in the suit patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and sighed, "I advised you last October that if France can sit back and watch Poland be destroyed, it means that its vigor has been lost." Such a country wants to win the war, unless a miracle happens. But don't despair too much, even if France loses the war, their subsequent government will not dare to rely on this debt, otherwise it will be the enemy of the whole capital world. There will be a day when your tens of thousands of dollars will be repaid. ”

The man in the suit wanted to cry without tears, and his miserable and sad expression betrayed all his thoughts at the moment. The French government, while not daring to pay off its war debts, has absolutely no way of failing to pay for it – just one poor word is enough to make all the retail investors who have invested in it helpless. Imagine that the post-war French government had to pay huge reparations on the one hand, and on the other hand, it had to rebuild dilapidated homes and compensate the families of wounded soldiers and fallen soldiers; Even if France had abundant overseas assets around the world before the war, the bottomless pit of the homeland could drain the French for decades. In this case, how much more money can France come up with to cash in on the arrears?

Can it hold its value in gold, physically, or in dollars? Obviously, these things will be prioritized as war reparations to pay off debts, and it is not the turn of foreign individual debtors to enjoy them. As for repaying the loan in francs, there is still something to consider, but as long as you refer to the speed of the depreciation of the mark after the defeat of Germany, the man in the suit does not dare to imagine how much wealth he will lose. And the most serious situation is undoubtedly that France will not be able to get a penny. As a weak individual, the man in the suit really has no way to take the French government: the other party just has no money, can you still pounce on it and bite it?

The fat man sighed and said, "It's not just you, Matt, I'm going to be bad luck this time." At present, my company depends on Paris, a luxury consumer market, to maintain its operations, and now that Paris has fallen, its demand for luxury goods will be greatly reduced, and I can't imagine next month's salary figures. In fact, there are not many people like us in New York, so don't despair and see how the situation develops. ”

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon on the three poles of the sun. The American people turned on the radio next to the table and listened to the New York radio noon news program with some anticipation, and this time, they were not disappointed. The announcer bluntly announced the German occupation of Paris, and declared that this was no less than the previous crushing defeat of the coalition forces, and after a few words, another familiar middle-aged male voice came over the radio.

"Good afternoon, listeners, I'm your old friend Santas. The news of the fall of Paris shocked the world today, the second time 70 years after the end of the Franco-Prussian War, that Paris had been captured by the Germans. I do not want to spend any more time dwelling on the cumbersome and lengthy war feuds between the peoples of Europe, but I will confine myself to one point today, and that is where the United States, and all our citizens, are to be held in the days to come. ”

"There is no doubt that the French fighting on land has collapsed. For the French would never have surrendered Paris to their long-cherished enemies if they had the strength to hold on: they had defended and lost five or six hundred thousand men for the sake of a mere Verdun, and today they have lost the symbols of their state, the confluence of their national will, and the two are not at all the same. I dare venture to conclude that within a week the French government will ask Germany for an armistice. The war in Europe will also come to an end before the fall of this year. ”

Santas's voice was steady and powerful, and his confident words captured the attention of the audience: "With the defeat of France and Britain, the economy of the United States will indeed fall into a trough in the short term. After all, these two traditional powers are so closely linked to our economy that when they fall, the banks and foreign trading companies will be the first to suffer, and then they will spread to all sectors, as was the Great Depression 11 years ago. For us, who have just emerged from the quagmire of the economic crisis, this is indeed an inescapable setback. ”

"However, as I expressed in the aftermath of the Battle of Norway five months ago, the defeat of the Allies is both a setback for the United States and a great deal of opportunity to come. In the post-war era, Germany will inevitably recoil and invest heavily at home, and we can deepen our cooperation with Berlin and focus our market on the new European hegemon with unlimited potential. When we establish close economic and trade ties with Germany, which occupies all of Europe's resources, the economy of the United States will surely rise dramatically, and even be able to repeat the dream peak of the Coolidge era. Santas said in a smooth voice.

"Of course, I know that many listeners share my sympathy for the democratic Anglo-French government and a deep dislike of the insanely anti-Semitic, authoritarian and horrific Nationalist regime. But faith is not money. If anyone disagrees with this, ask him to visit the Soviet embassy on Constitution Road in downtown Washington – even the Soviet Union has diplomatic relations with the United States, so what is the point of doing business with Hitler? At least Hitler did not eliminate the capitalists, and the two sides had every basis to put aside their contradictions and develop together......"

Listening to the careful analysis of the future situation on the radio, Matt, a man in a suit who was originally like a walking corpse, gradually had a little brilliance in his eyes. Yes, there is no reason for me to hang myself on a tree in France, and post-war Germany is almost full of gold in the eyes of those who care: not to mention that all kinds of consumer goods are the urgent needs of Germany, and they have long sacrificed how much life enjoyment they have sacrificed in order to fight this war. If you seize the opportunity, you may not be able to earn back the bonds that are trapped today!

As for the option of letting the United States support Britain and France to continue fighting and help them win the war, it was not in his consideration at all. What are you kidding, now the US army and air force are not enough for Germany to plug the gap between Germany's teeth, to help Britain and France turn over this kind of plate, God knows how much wealth will be spent and how many lives will be lost? This kind of stupid injustice is something that even an intellectually crippled idiot would not do, let alone the White House?
