"You are a patriot, so is your son, and I am also a patriot, although we love different countries, but based on the common position of patriots, I will not let you sell your national interests, and I don't even have the idea of letting you sell some intelligence. "www.biquge.info The diplomatic conditions and our demands that you brought back are certainly not something you can decide, and how can a formal agreement be reached without the approval of the president and the deliberation of the congressmen?" In other words, you're just a diplomat and don't have the authority to change a single word, not even a single punctuation. ”

Joseph laughed at himself, "Yes, I'm just a mouthpiece." ”

"So my requirements are not high, I just need you to be a good mouthpiece, truthful, complete, comprehensive, without any personal feelings and positions to transmit our voice back, so that the American people and leaders will not misjudge Germany's intentions and demands." Hoffman said with a straight face, "I said a long time ago that Germany does not want to go to war with the United States, and you should not come to the aid of Britain." But you didn't listen, you insisted on helping, and you always thought that our navy was not strong enough and our industrial capacity was insufficient to dare to fight, so that I finally had to become allies with the Japanese -- this is the miscalculation caused by your wishful thinking, because of this miscalculation, how many people died in the United States? How much real money was wasted? ”

Joseph nodded subconsciously, and then retorted: "Then why do you continue to maintain close relations with Japan after the armistice between the United States and Germany?" Germany and the United States do not have irreconcilable deep hatred, but Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor without declaring war is absolutely unforgivable, so Japan and our side must teach a lesson, and if Germany refuses to give up Japan, it will be very difficult for the United States and Germany to achieve peace. ”

"It would be too stupid for me to give up Japan, could it be that Germany will let Japan, an ally, be beaten by you alone, and then wait for the United States to overthrow Japan and realize the great alliance of China, the United States, and the Soviet Union?"

"No, no, the American people don't love war."

"The American people don't like to fight? Then why send ships and arms to the British, and the Russians to beat us? It's okay to deceive ordinary people with peace-loving words, you and I are so familiar, how can you use such words to prevaricate me? ”

"This ......," Joseph smiled awkwardly, "President Roosevelt will make a public promise." ”

"You didn't understand what I meant...... In Germany I can have the final say, but in the United States Roosevelt can't have the final say, and even if he can have the final say, what if he can take a step back? How many years can he last with this body? In Germany, as long as our political system does not change, my successor and I will not make a big deal about the established framework, and this is our credibility advantage. Hoffman joked half-truthfully, "With Roosevelt's body, I think it will be difficult for me to complete this presidential term, and I can continue to lead Germany for 20 years, who has more credibility and influence?" ”

Hearing Hoffman repeatedly mention Roosevelt's physical condition, Joseph was taken aback, Roosevelt's physical condition was strictly secret, and he only vaguely learned the news that the president's health was not ideal when he received the task before his departure, how could the German side know it clearly? He immediately thought of the spy incident that had tossed the British side enough to choke at the beginning, could it be that this spy was now mixed with the United States?

With a skeptical expression, he continued: "Aside from Japan's advance, Argentina and South America's conditions for dealing with you are a bit too much, and South America has always been an important place for the United States to belong. ”

Hoffmann didn't explain directly, but sighed: "The United States is so powerful, I am very worried, and the future of Germany is very difficult......

"Since the United States is so powerful, it is really not in line with the principle of diplomatic reciprocity that you give back such harsh conditions, and it is difficult for our government to explain to the people."

"It is because the United States is strong that I agreed to give the United States this condition, ......you see," Hoffman laughed, "I told Churchill to get out of Canada, I don't care if you annex Canada; I agree to let the United States control Australia and New Zealand, and I don't care if you annex it or not; Mexico, the Caribbean, Brazil I promised to put you in control. You share the Pacific Ocean with Japan, the Atlantic Ocean with us, and you control the whole of North and Central America. Germany had been fighting for five years, sacrificing millions of precious Germanic lads and winning the present war at great cost and with numerous victories. The United States has built a lot of munitions, but it has not won a few battles, and it can still get so many results in the end with such a poor war performance, why do I think I have made a wedding dress for the United States? ”

Joseph rolled his eyes but was speechless, the United States fought this war so badly that he almost hung up on his two sons in one go, and now he is still afraid to think about it.

"If your country does not give up its aid to Japan, it is impossible for our country to give up its aid to Britain, so ......"

"Aid to the UK, yes?" Hoffman laughed, "If you don't care about the lives of American boys, then hurry up." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Hoffman didn't say anything, pressed the button, and called Chief Adjutant Daldgs.

"Tomorrow arrange for a reliable person to accompany Mr. Joseph to the direction of the Mediterranean, and you can go and see Rommel's troops, and say that I mean, and do not hide it......"

"Führer!" Dahlges exclaimed, "He's an American envoy!" ”

"It's nothing, he's also my friend, take him to see it, it's no big deal."

"Yes."

"What's in the Mediterranean? Rommel? I've heard the name! I remember, he was the marshal of your country! ”

"Nothing, there are elite units that are conducting frantic exercises on amphibious landing tactics, and they are currently relying on Crete for on-the-ground adaptation training, and Rommel is their commander. He was not only our army's premier expert in armored warfare, but also the number one amphibious landing commander of the Third Reich, a name that the British were very familiar with. "It's only January, and it's still a little cold in the English Channel, so it would be nice to have a little warmer," Hoffman said nonchalantly......

Joseph's mouth was as wide as an "O" shape, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and if this is true, it seems that the Germans will soon attack Great Britain!

On January 21, Eva gave birth to a baby boy, whom Hoffman named "Kohler", which was also the name of his first child before the crossing. When the Führer heard that he had an heir, the whole of Germany was in a stir, and everyone spontaneously rejoiced for the Führer, the poets wrote enthusiastic poems of blessings, believing that this new life was a symbol of Germany's future, congratulatory telegrams from dignitaries from various countries flew like snowflakes, and waves of diplomatic envoys sent gifts to the infant "little Führer". Everyone is not blind, the Führer can still be in charge of the Third Reich for at least 20 years at this age and physical condition, and if it can be extended to 30 years, the younger Führer may be able to take over smoothly.

The top brass of the National Socialist Party also rushed to the direction of the Eagle's Nest, and although the four giants had their own thoughts, the congratulations and blessings on their faces were very sincere, and even the Pope sent a telegram to congratulate and express his willingness to baptize the little guy with his own hands.

The next day, Hoffmann issued a public statement choosing Léon de Greler, the leader of the Belgian Rex party, as Kohler's godfather, and explained why—I said: "If I have a son, I hope he can be like Leon!" Now that I have a son, it is fitting to ask León to be the godfather and a symbol of European solidarity!

This decision has achieved the effect of killing several birds with one stone: on the one hand, it does not choose any bigwig in the Kuomintang to be the godfather, which avoids the embarrassment of openly selecting a successor and second-in-command, and also prevents the relationship between the Big Four from breaking through the existing framework; On the other hand, Leon was Belgian, and the choice of him as his godfather would further unite the Belgians and thus strengthen the cohesion of the European alliance - at least the Belgians had come to see Leon as the future political leader of Belgium when they knew the news; Finally, the open choice of the Church Fathers further weakened the National Socialist Party's suppression of the Church's power and helped to unite more people - how could a Third Reich, which suppressed and opposed the Church, be able to rally and penetrate the hearts of the people in Europe?

The Church quickly noticed the change in Germany's religious policy over the past two years, and was naturally happy to reciprocate.

However, what is being hotly debated in the streets of Washington at this moment is not the birth of a junior Führer, but another piece of news, which is said to have been first spread by the State Department.

"Patrick, I heard you have made a big discovery that no one else knows? Is it China that has discovered another large oil field? A group of friends giggled and mercilessly exposed Patrick's shortcomings. This poor young man received news from the Chinese side a few months ago, and he shouted that China had discovered large oil fields, but in fact the telegram clearly wrote that "the Chinese authorities have discovered crude oil wells in Gansu Province that can be used for industrial use, and the daily oil production is about 2,460 kilograms, and it is expected to produce about 900,000 kilograms of oil a year, and the rest of the exploration is underway, and we think that there are larger oil wells around that can be exploited...... Since the United States generally only uses two units of measurement, "pounds" and "tons", Patrick carelessly treats kilograms as tons, believing that China has an oil field with an annual output of 900,000 tons (in fact, the Yumen oil field, which is only 900 tons), and when it becomes clear that it is a complete joke, the nickname "Mr. Big Oilfield" spreads.

"Nope! It's not news about China! Patrick held his head up proudly, "It's news from the United States." ”

"What is it?"

"There were secret diplomatic peace talks with Germany at the top, the Germans put forward harsh terms for peace, and Vice President Wallace, who is currently acting as president, is ready to accept ......"

Everyone who heard it was shocked, and the news detonated three political bombs in one go: first, President Roosevelt was ill, and Vice President Wallace presided over the work; second, virtue is in secret peace; Thirdly, the conditions of peace in Germany are harsh, but the vice president is still ready to accept ......

"Oh God!"
