On Tirpitz Riverbank Street, in the office of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Chen Dao looked at the world map on the wall with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were locked on the southern Pacific Ocean, the Fiji Islands and Samoa. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Through the victorious declarations issued by Hiroshi Oshima and Japan Radio from time to time, Chen Dao had a clear understanding of the dynamics of the war between the Allies and the Japanese army in the Pacific theater.

"With the elimination of the NB-14 fleet, the rest of the Americans' supply fleet did not dare to approach Australia for the time being, and MacArthur's good days came to an end. This time, we can see how the American GIs, who lack guns and ammunition, behave in the Pacific. ”

Chen Dao smiled and picked up a document on his desk, the content of which was a report on the state of Australia and New Zealand.

Australia, with a population of 7.2 million, has mobilized about 3.3 million people since the start of the war, including nearly one million directly in the army.

Another important country in Australia, New Zealand, has a population of 1.6 million, of which about 300,000 are in the army.

With a combined population of less than 10 million people, Australia cannot support a strong military industry, especially the navy and air force, excluding the 1.3 million people who have joined the army, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the population that maintains the necessary agricultural production.

Not only is it a matter of population, but New Zealand and Australia belong to the British Commonwealth countries, and the weapons used by the United States are completely two systems, and without aid from the United States, the US troops in Australia led by MacArthur will become addicts who can't smoke big cigarettes, and it is only a matter of time before they become invalids.

Take advantage of his illness and take his life, now is the best time to engage in blackmail.

"Boss, Mr. Thomas has arrived."

"Ask him to come in."

As soon as Chen Dao sat down in his office chair, the female secretary brought in a well-dressed man who looked to be in his forties.

Chen Dao stood up and coldly extended his hand to the US ambassador to Germany, Thomas.

"Welcome, Mr. Thomas, please be seated."

The two sat down on the sofa, and the female secretary brought coffee.

Chen Dao asked with a straight face: "Mr. Thomas, I invited you here today for two reasons. The first thing is about the loan agreement between our two countries. According to our agreement, the first loan should have been received on the 10th of this month, but today is October 18, and the loan has not yet moved. Why is this happening, can you give me a reasonable explanation? ”

In the face of Chen Dao's series of questions, Thomas offered the answers he had already prepared.

"General Rosen, you know, since the Japanese declared war on our country, our war in the Pacific has not been going well, and the expansion of the army and navy requires a lot of money. The limited funds have been prioritized for the expansion of the army, so we have no choice but to delay the payment time, and please understand. ”

Chen Dao snorted with a cold face.

"I've also heard that you have recently suffered a great defeat, a convoy of convoys has been wiped out by the Japanese, and your country's troops in Australia are under great pressure. But the more I was at this time, it was all the more important to get the loan in my account as soon as possible so that I could leave for India as soon as possible. The sooner we attack in India and the sooner we put pressure on the Japanese, the sooner your country's pressure on Australia will be diverted. Speaking of which, President Roosevelt was, after all, a civilian official and did not understand strategy, but your country's military should understand this truth. ”

Chen Dao took a sip of coffee, and then said: "You also know that something went wrong in Germany, and a traitorous organization called the Black Band emerged, and under the sabotage of this traitorous organization, the Führer was forced to suspend the campaign against Moscow. It's a shame to say that if it weren't for these traitors, we might have occupied Moscow and ended the war against Russia, but now, millions of troops can only prepare to spend the winter in the ice and snow of Russia, and face the winter counterattack of the Russians.

The first $5 billion of the loan, even if it arrives, will be used up in a week at most, what problem can it solve? Since your country is also facing great difficulties, and we are not forced to do so, you go back and inform your government that we will simply cancel this loan agreement and we will find a way to solve the difficulties we are facing. ”

Thomas smiled in his heart, but there was an anxious look on his face.

"General Rosen, don't worry, our country has only postponed the arrival of the loan, and has no intention of canceling this agreement."

"Since there is no intention of canceling this agreement, let's improve efficiency, and I am still waiting for this loan to go to the United States to purchase a batch of military supplies to solve the problem of winter equipment for the troops on the Eastern Front. Don't use that kind of politician-to-politician method against me, give me a specific time. ”

Thomas was not in a hurry, and continued to answer Chen Dao's question in his usual diplomatic tone: "I need to ask my government to answer the specific time of the loan, and I will send a telegram to China as soon as I return, and then reply to you." ”

"I don't want to wait any longer, you tell President Roosevelt that if the first $10 billion of the loan does not arrive at the end of this month, the agreement will be canceled immediately, and our plan to send troops to India will be postponed indefinitely.

I didn't want to go to the kind of wild place in India that is not suitable for human existence, but now I just want to push it off, and the Führer can't say anything. The saved military spending can be put into the Eastern Front, which is the main battlefield of our country. I do not believe that the Japanese will be able to run to Europe to attack Germany. ”

Thomas was a little confused, and hurriedly asked: "The amount of the first loan was five billion dollars, why did it suddenly become ten billion?" ”

"According to the agreement, the first loan of 5 billion US dollars will be received in the first half of this month, and the second 5 billion yuan will be received before the end of this month, and the time I have set is the end of this month, and the first loan and the second loan will be received at the same time, a total of 10 billion, and there is no mistake."

"This, I need ・・・・・・"

Chen Dao said angrily: "After the loan is in hand, my country will also go to your country to purchase at least three billion US dollars of materials, and the funds will soon flow back to your country, why is this kind of win-win business so difficult." ”

Ambassador Thomas blinked.

It is difficult to say whether the future relationship between Germany and the United States will be friend or foe, and this money in the hands of Germany is tantamount to an enemy, of course, it must be delayed as much as possible, but now it seems that the patience of the Germans has reached the limit, and it is really necessary for them to report to the country.

Chen Dao didn't give Thomas a chance to shirk, and said conclusively: "This matter is so decided, I can't see the loan arrive at the end of the month, and I will never mention this matter again in the future." ”

"I will contact the country as soon as I go back, and I will definitely give the general a satisfactory answer."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news, let's talk about the second thing."

"General, please."

"The second thing・・・・・・ Chen Dao pinched his chin, looking distressed.

"There has been a disgusting incident on the Eastern Front recently, and I would like to invite Mr. Ambassador to go to the Eastern Front with me to see the scene of this incident and let Mr. Ambassador broaden his horizons, but you have to be a little mentally prepared."

"What is it?" Thomas asked.

Chen Dao sighed and said, "A second Japan has appeared on the earth. ”

For a moment, a look of astonishment hung over Thomas's face.

Two days later, at 1 p.m. on 20 October, an eight-car special train arrived in Smolensk carrying Chen Dao and Ambassador Thomas.

Also arriving in the same car were the British and Italian ambassadors to Germany.

After getting off the bus, Chen Dao took the three ambassadors and got into the vehicle provided by the Central Army Group Command, and traveled all the way west to the town of Katyn, about 20 kilometers west of Smolensk.

In the town of Katyn, Ambassador Thomas was surprised to see some familiar faces.

Ambassador of Hungary to Germany, Ambassador of Romania to Germany, Ambassador of Argentina to Germany・・・・・・

Ambassadors from almost all countries with which Germany has diplomatic relations gather here.

After a brief stop in the town of Katyn, the convoy turned south and drove out of the town to the edge of a vast forest.

Barbed wire was set up at the edge of the forest, surrounded by heavily armed soldiers.

With Chen Dao's humanoid business card, the convoy is unimpeded.

After getting out of the car, a group of Gestapo wearing long black leather trench coats and black top hats surrounded them.

Chen Dao wore an SS lieutenant general's uniform, and after greeting one of the Gestapo leaders in the lead, the Gestapo took out a plastic bag and handed out a mask to Chen Dao and others.

Ambassador Thomas took the mask, didn't know what it was going to do, and turned his head to look at Chen Dao.

Chen Dao took the mask but did not put it on, but took a bottle of perfume from the Gestapo and sprayed the front and back of the mask with perfume before putting it on.

Ambassador Thomas followed Chen Dao's example, sprayed his mask with perfume and put it on his face.

It is a rose-scented perfume with a slightly pungent smell.

Chen Dao led a group of ambassadors to the depths of the forest, and soon walked to a simple wooden house.

Ambassador Thomas saw a crowd of people wearing masks around the boarded houses, who were holding cameras and video cameras, and were moving around the boarded houses with great interest.

Ambassador Thomas sniffled, his brow furrowed.

A foul stench passed through the mask, breaking the rose-scented defenses and rushing straight into his nose.

Who farted? So unethical.

Ambassador Thomas endured the stench and followed Chen Dao to the front of a wooden house.

"Gentlemen, you have to be mentally prepared that the scene you see below will transform your worldview, outlook on life, and values."

Ambassador Thomas followed Chen Dao into the wooden room, and just two steps inside, he involuntarily took a step back.

On the floor of the wooden house, two rows of corpses were densely placed.

Both rows of corpses were highly decomposed, and the stench of rotten flesh and decay permeated the house, stronger than the outside, as if it could penetrate the human body through the pores.

At this time, the mask could no longer resist the invasion of the stench, Chen Dao covered his mouth with one hand, pointed to the corpse on the ground with the other and said: "After we occupied Smolensk, the engineer unit of the Ninth Armored Division wanted to cut wood in this forest and look for some wood for building trenches, but accidentally found a large number of corpses. The bodies have now been exhumed in full, numbering more than four thousand. We have every evidence that the Russians, like the Japanese, have broken through the lower line of human morality. Gentlemen, come and see what the Russians have done. ”

Ambassador Thomas hesitated to walk towards the corpse, but Chen Dao grabbed his arm and dragged him to a distance of only one step from the corpse.

"Hurry up, we're ready to burn these bodies, and if we don't look at them, we won't have a chance."

Chen Dao pointed to the corpse and said.

Ambassador Thomas frowned and looked at the corpse on the ground.

Some of the corpses had faces facing upwards, white bones and protruding teeth from the decaying facial muscles, and the parts of the eyes had rotted away, leaving only two bottomless black holes.

Some of the bodies lying on their sides can be seen with their hands tied behind their backs.

Chen Dao didn't know where to take out a branch more than half a meter long, pointed to the back of the head of a corpse with its back up, and said, "Everyone, this bullet hole is the cause of his death, and there is such a bullet hole in the same part of each corpse." This group of people was systematically slaughtered. ”

What answered Chen Dao was a strange cry of "Oh・・・・・・".

The British ambassador to Germany was the first to hold on, and rushed out of the plank room with his mouth covered, leaning against the wall and vomiting.

This can't hold on, the psychological quality is not hard enough, Chen Dao said with disdain in his heart.

Ambassador Thomas endured the nausea in his heart and asked Chen, "Who are the people who died?" Captured soldiers of your army? ”

"Of course not, they are Polish soldiers."

After visiting for a while, Chen Dao walked out of the board room with the ambassadors who were "discolored".

Ambassador Thomas glanced at the wooden houses scattered throughout the forest, and silently estimated whether there were more than four thousand corpses.

Chen Dao led the ambassadors to a wooden house.

In front of the wooden house, several reporters were interviewing an old man.

The old man appeared to be a local, and several reporters with cameras were questioning him in Russian.

Ambassador Thomas recognized the journalists from their clothing markings as BBC reporters in the United Kingdom.

Chen Dao asked Major Lorenz to translate the content of the dialogue.

"In 40 years, there used to be a prison here, which seemed to be called Kozelsk. Trucks bring in a lot of prisoners in uniform, and we sometimes pass by and see prisoners moving around in prisoner-of-war camps surrounded by barbed wire.

It wasn't until April of that year that we would often hear continuous gunfire in the forest, and the camp disappeared.

Now, I finally know where the prisoners of war in the camp have gone・・・・・・"

After listening to Major Lorenz, Chen Dao said, "Gentlemen, do you have any feelings? ”

"Appalling, really appalling, the Russians have really degenerated to the same level as the Japanese." Ambassador Thomas felt a sense of justice and angrily rebuked.
