The first meeting that Chen Dao ushered in was not a combat meeting, but a political meeting on what kind of occupation policy to implement on the Eastern Front.

Chen Dao was able to participate in this meeting because after the outbreak of the war, half of Poland occupied by the Soviet Union was liberated, and it was placed under the name of him, the Polish governor.

In addition to the Soviet-occupied half of Poland, part of Ukraine will also be placed under the Polish Governor's Office.

Soon after the meeting began, the conference room in the Prime Minister's Office was clearly divided into two factions to argue.

One of these factions was the "carrot" faction, consisting of the intelligence chief Canaris, the minister of affairs for the occupied territories in the East, Rosenberg, and Chen Dao, who advocated a degree of autonomy for the Ukrainians and used them in the service of Germany.

The other faction belongs to the "big stick" faction, whose members are the appointed Ukrainian Governor Koch and the Minister of Agriculture and Food Barker, who firmly oppose the occupation policy of the three Chen Dao, and they believe that the Ukrainians are inferior to any of the lowest Germans, and can only enslave and plunder them, and are not allowed to have primary education. All they need to do is understand German traffic signs and not get hit by a car.

"Enslave them, extract them, and then kill them, that's the occupation policy we're going to implement in Ukraine."

In the conference room, Koch shouted arrogantly waving his arms.

Hearing Koch's shout, Hitler, one of the two major soy sauce parties in the conference room, muttered in a low voice: "It is unbelievable that a race that has contributed nothing to world civilization should sit on such a land rich in resources!" ”

On Hitler's right hand sat Goering, and on Goering's right hand sat Chen Dao, and Hitler's muttering penetrated Chen Dao's ears word for word.

Although Hitler did not express an opinion, he was clearly inclined towards Koch and Barker.

It's just that as the highest authority in Germany, as soon as he speaks, he will draw an end to the meeting, and his attitude will also become the conclusion of the theme of the meeting, so he temporarily serves as the leader of the soy sauce party, and decides to listen to the suggestions of the two factions first, wait for the two factions to argue for a result, and then choose a plan that is most in line with Germany's interests.

Goering was also on the side of Koch and Buck in his heart. It was only in public that it was difficult to publicly refute Chen Dao, so he temporarily joined the soy sauce party headed by Lao Xi.

Chen Dao was well aware of the attitudes of Hitler and Goering, and knew that Koch could not be allowed to continue clamoring, lest the two soy sauce parties change their temporary neutral stance. At that point, everything will be irretrievable.

Seizing the opportunity of Koch to drink water and rest, Chen Dao retorted-for-tat: "It is true that the Slavs are inferior to the Germans on the whole. But among the incomparably lowly Slavs in your eyes, great writers such as Tolstoy, Chekhov and Pushkin were born, and great musicians such as Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky were born. Military strategists such as Suvorov and Kutuzov were born, as well as statesmen such as Peter the Great and Catherine II.

With your level of education, you certainly don't know about the existence of these people, and I can forgive your ignorance for what you just said, but none of the occupation policies you just said can be adopted. Führer, I have deep doubts about the competence of Mr. Koch, and I strongly propose to replace him with a more literate person for the post of Governor-General of Ukraine. ”

Chen Dao's words were like a flame thrown into a gasoline can. Instantly detonated Koch's anger.

"You lame Polish governor-general, don't talk to me about culture, you don't understand the place of Ukraine in the imperial territory at all, don't interfere in the affairs of Ukraine with those idealistic policies implemented in Poland."

Hitler followed: "The population base of the Slavs is very large, and the occasional appearance of a few outstanding figures does not change the reality of their overall inferiority, and they cannot be treated as citizens of the empire, on the same basis as the Germans, and cannot be too merciful to them. As for your proposal to replace the Governor-General of Ukraine, it is really rude. ”

Hearing that Hitler was clearly favoring himself, Koch glanced at Chen Dao angrily. There was a muffled snort in his nose, and the contempt could not have been more palpable.

Chen Dao said: "There is a law in the military, if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate." Monarch. While this would be rude, it is unfortunate that Mr. Koch's remarks suggest that he is likely to be the legendary pig teammate. If he is allowed to carry out his policy of occupation in Ukraine, it will put us in a situation where we are fighting on two fronts, and our army will have to pay the price of two army groups for his stupidity. And most importantly. We will be sorry for our atrocities in Ukraine, losing our priceless treasure for dominating Europe and leading the world in the future. So, in any case, we could not take his advice, and, moreover, I strongly demanded the replacement of the Ukrainian governor-general. Of course, if Mr. Koch is able to change his position, he could be considered to stay in office. ”

"Heinz. Feng. Rosen," Koch glared at Chen Dao and shouted, "Don't be alarmist. ”

"Governor Rosen, you can't insult your comrades in the party like that. This is a very serious occasion, and we are discussing important matters related to national interests, so please pay attention to your own words and attitudes. Buck said.

"Of course, I have to be polite to comrades in the party, but when I treat sinners of the country and the nation, I am already very polite without pulling out a gun." Chen Dao said.

Goering took a cigar in his mouth, saw the bruises on Koch's head, and Barker's face was not good-looking, he spit out a smoke ring in a chic manner, and said without being salty or light: "Heinz, what do you mean by fighting on two fronts?" What does Ukraine have to do with fighting on two fronts? ”

Goering's question reminded Hitler.

"What are the two armies you are talking about, and the priceless treasures that rule Europe and lead the world?" Hitler asked.

"My Führer, he is bluffing, with the abilities of inferior Slavs, it is simply impossible to pin down our two army groups. The British have already made peace with us, and fighting on two fronts no longer exists for us. Koch said.

"People who don't understand military affairs should not point fingers at military affairs, and if they don't understand politics, don't participate in politics, don't you have the word modesty in your dictionary?" Chen Dao said.

"When I talk about two-front warfare, I do not mean the two fronts of east and west in the traditional sense, but the two fronts of the front and the rear. If, according to his approach, what we bring to the Ukrainians, the Belarusians, is the bottomless oppression of enslavement, and the Ukrainians will surely rise up in revolt"

"Our army can kill all the rebels." Koch said.

Chen Dao looked at Koch in disgust and said: "I just said, laymen don't point fingers at military matters, please stay modest, if you don't understand modesty, it's okay to be silent." ”

After dealing with Koch, Chen Dao continued to say to Hitler: "Ukraine has a population of about 40 million. Based on the presence of one rebel in 100 people, Mr. Koch's misdeeds in Ukraine can roughly create us 400,000 partisans, plus the broken Soviet Red Army. There are 500,000 underground resistance forces expected in Ukraine, and to deal with these 500,000 guerrillas, we need to send five or six divisions, including at least one motorized division.

On the other hand, if we can adopt a relatively modest policy of occupation. Keeping the number of partisans to a minimum, it was possible to arm part of the Ukrainians with captured Soviet weapons as a servant army against the partisans, or pull to the front to fight the Soviet Red Army. With the combat effectiveness of our army, five or six divisions can fully be equivalent to one Soviet army group. The Ukrainian servant army can also be fought against a Soviet army group, so counted"

"If we calculate in this way, we can have two more armies on the front, and these two armies can take out two Soviet armies, which add up to four armies." Rosenberg said.

The Chief of Intelligence, Canaris, was no longer silent.

"Let's look at the map, the front is from west to east. Similar to a horn placed horizontally. The further the front shifts to the east, the wider the front, reaching the vicinity of the Moscow line, it will exceed three thousand kilometers, and by that time the strength of each division will be critical, let alone two army groups. So, Governor Rosen's advice was very crucial, and his concept of two-front warfare on the front and rear fronts was also very practical, Führer. I advise you to think carefully. ”

Chen Dao said: "Don't think that the guerrillas are easy to deal with, our Japanese allies are on the battlefield in China, and the guerrillas in the occupied areas have pinned down a large number of troops, and we must take this as a warning." ”

Koch said disdainfully: "Why does Governor Rosen always like to exaggerate. The fact that the Japanese could not defeat the Chinese guerrillas only showed that their combat effectiveness was too weak. Do you think that the German ** team will not be able to defeat the Ukrainian partisans? ”

Chen Dao covered his forehead in pain and let out a long sigh.

"It's a pain to talk about military affairs with a layman, you can't be a quiet gentleman? The terrible thing about the partisans is not their combat effectiveness, but the way they fight. When the regular army comes to exterminate them, they will hide in the woods, swamps, and mountains. When the army is withdrawn, they will magically appear again in places we did not expect, such as trains and car transports on railways and roads, alas, why should I explain this to you, a layman, it will only be a waste of my energy and saliva. ”

Koch was furious at Chen Dao's naked disdain, and was about to return fire, when Hitler suddenly said: "What Heinz said is reasonable, the problem of troops is indeed a big problem, and the guerrillas are not so easy to exterminate." It's been a year and a half since we occupied France, and the partisans there are still operating in the shadows. The Polish partisans were more rampant, but the situation had been reversed since Heinz became governor of Poland, thanks to a more moderate occupation policy in Poland that weakened the Polish resistance. Heinz, I'll consider your proposal, tell me, what is the priceless treasure you just mentioned? ”

"Morality." Chen Dao put away his contempt for Koch and said seriously.

"Morality, don't you think it's too illusory? We don't need to be moralistic to the Ukrainians. Koch said contemptuously.

Chen Dao covered his forehead again and said bitterly: "I really can't communicate with you, it's terrible for someone who doesn't understand anything." ”

Seeing that Chen Dao had talked about key issues, Goering did not hesitate to come forward to support Chen Dao.

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, the Führer and I, and others can understand, you continue to speak, don't be disturbed by him."

Koch was shaken by Goering's swordsmanship, and almost fainted, and then heard Hitler's voice.

"Don't interfere with Heinz, listen to him."

Barker, Rosenberg, and Canaris cast sympathetic glances at Koch.

The three of them have similar ideas, and they openly oppose the "Your Excellency Brother-in-law" in front of the Führer, oh, and the Imperial Marshal, you really don't understand politics.

Chen Dao saw that Koch's arrogance was temporarily suppressed, so he continued: "I have always believed that how high the ideological realm is, how high the achievements will be. I would like to ask a question, what exactly are we attacking the USSR for? What was the purpose of our bloody war with the British? ”

"Don't you know that the purpose of moving east into the Soviet Union is to compete for living space?" Koch finally seized the opportunity and asked Chen Dao in a strange way.

"To fight the British is to avoid fighting on two fronts, that's what you said. There was also the element of Churchill's anti-German elements, so we had to fight Britain to the end until Britain surrendered. Hitler said.

"Fighting for living space is just a high-sounding statement, to put it bluntly, it is to grab money, food, and land, which is a naked banditry. Unfortunately, Mr. Koch, your mind is still stuck in the slave society of the Roman Empire more than 2,000 years ago, or the low level of the pirate society of the Age of Discovery, and it is completely unable to integrate with modern society, so you should remain silent. ”

Rosenberg's old face flushed faintly, he was not only the Minister of Affairs of the Eastern Occupation Zone, but also the ideological mentor of the Nazi Party, and it was the slogan he had always advocated to seize living space in the Soviet Union, but he was criticized by Chen Dao as a low-level realm, and immediately asked very unpleasantly: "May I ask Governor Rosen, what do you think is a high-level realm?" ”

Everyone in the conference room looked at Chen Dao, and Hitler's eyes showed deep thought.

Chen Daohuo Ran got up, looked down at everyone and said, "My thoughts are pure, we are fighting for the unification of Europe. ”

Hitler and the others sounded like a thunderclap in their ears, and they stared at Chen Dao speechlessly like shocked wood carving clay sculptures.

Chen Dao walked behind Hitler, pointed to the map and said: "Whether it is the eastward march into the Soviet Union or the battle with Britain, it is to clear the way for the great dream of unifying Europe." If you think that we are fighting with Britain only to grab colonies, and fighting with the Soviet Union only to grab money, food, and territory, then unfortunately, our thinking is completely outside the same dimension, and there is no need to talk about it further.

After the unification of Europe, we need to unite the forces of Europe to lead the world. Do you think the people of the world will be willingly led by a robber, an executioner?

Think about the British, and also look at how the British, the British all know to disguise pirates by labeling them as gentlemen in their essence. But some of us are so good that we want to nakedly label Germany as a 'robber' and 'executioner' that is not allowed in the world, what do you want to do? Are you really willing to let the world write a Ukrainian version of "Rabe's Diary"? ”

In the face of Chen Dao's questioning, everyone in the conference room collectively lost their voices.

Hitler's straight body slowly leaned back on the back of the seat, and muttered to himself: "United Europe!" Lead the world! It turns out that your vision is so far-sighted. (To be continued.) )
