Chapter 322: Goering's Careful Thinking and Chen Dao's Big Thinking
Hiroshi Oshima left it to me to solve.
Chen Dao solemnly made a promise to Hitler, and then got up to bid farewell to Hitler.
Hitler looked at Chen Dao, and the strangeness of his eyes made Chen Dao wonder if there was a flower blooming on his face.
"You want to go? Don't you feel like you've forgotten something? Hitler asked.
Chen Dao looked at Hitler in confusion, and after thinking carefully for a while, he suddenly realized.
He was embarrassed to say to Hitler: "I'm sorry, but I did forget one thing. ”
Hitler and Goering laughed at each other, and Hitler said: "It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, it's too late to correct them." ”
Chen Dao nodded solemnly and said, "Regarding the report on this visit to Japan and the United States, I will start writing it as soon as I go back and hand it over to you within two days." ”
Hitler and Goering's laughter stopped abruptly, as if they had been pinched by the neck, and a suffocating expression of pain appeared on their faces.
Hitler said unhappily: "I am not talking about this. ”
Goering whispered: "The Führer is talking about a private matter. ”
Seeing Goering frowning and reminding himself, Chen Dao reacted at this time, and immediately asked with an "old face flushed": "Is Margaret in Berlin?" ”
"You've disappointed me so much that you have to remind you to think of her. Two days before your arrival in Germany, Margaret had moved back to the Chancellery and is now waiting for your invitation. ”
Chen Dao humbly blamed himself: "During this time, all my energy was focused on the war that was about to break out, and I didn't have the heart to think about other things? I'm sorry to forget Margaret. ”
Hitler's intuition found that Chen Dao's attitude was very sincere, and his face was full of smiles again: "There is no point in sorry to me, go and say sorry to Margaret in person, she has been looking forward to you for a long time." ”
There were two people when I went to the Prime Minister's Office and three people when I left the Prime Minister's Office.
When Chen Dao and Margaret walked into the living room of the villa side by side, they saw the four Levi and Amy sitting around the sofa chatting.
"Chatter," Amin said something with a dance of his hands and foaming at the mouth, Amy and Audrey beside her. Hepburn exclaimed again and again.
Seeing Chen Dao and the three of them coming, everyone hurriedly got up to greet them.
Hepburn Lori trotted over to Margaret and took Margaret's hand to say hello.
Amy said to Goering: "Mr. Arnold is telling us the story of how they hunted wild wolves on farms in the United States. It was so exciting that I wanted to go hunting on horseback. ”
Chen Dao saw that the four of Levi and Amy got along very well, and immediately put his mind at ease.
Chen Dao introduced the four Levi to Margaret one by one, saying that they were friends he had made in the United States. He also talked about the evil deeds of Erich and Sherlock's uncle and nephew, and the tragic experience of the Levi siblings, who were persecuted by the United States because of their Japanese ancestry, and had to flee to Germany for refuge.
Sang Li's plight aroused the sympathy of three women, Margaret, Amy, and Audrey, and waited for Chen Dao to finish recounting his experience in the United States. Margaret had already mingled with the Levi Four, at least on the surface.
Goering managed to find an opportunity to interject in the gossip conversation.
"Tomorrow, you will move to Warsaw with Heinz to live, and the unit you will join is the Hitler Youth Division, which has just been approved for upgrading from regimental to divisional units, and is now being recruited, and volunteers like you are very welcome. With Heinz and my recommendation, you won't have much trouble enlisting in the army. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Marshal, we will definitely be excellent soldiers and will not disappoint you and Mr. Governor." Levi said confidently.
Alan and Amin also showed that they should behave well. Repay Chen Dao for his help to them with practical actions.
Sang Li asked suspiciously: "Will I also go with them to the Hitler Youth Division?" ”
"You're a female soldier, so of course you have to keep your distance from those male soldiers. I'll find you a female teacher in the Luftwaffe, and a legendary one. You follow her to learn to fly an airplane and become a fighter pilot. How's that, is there any interest? Goering asked.
"You're talking about the governess Hannah. Leitch? Chen Dao asked.
"Of course it's her, are there many women in the Luftwaffe who can be called legends?" Goering said.
"If it's her, you can rest assured, she's definitely a qualified instructor."
Then, Chen Dao and Levi introduced Hannah. Leich.
In 1932, Hannah. Leich obtained his license to fly taxiing and engine-based aircraft at the Starken Flight School in Berlin.
In the same year, she set the first of many records in her life. A women's record of five and a half hours of non-stop gliding.
Two years later, she began teaching at the Hungchenburg Flight School in the Gmund region of southern Germany.
From June 1934 onwards, Hannah worked as a test pilot at the "Deutsche Glide Flight Institute" in Darmstadt.
1937 year. Air Force Director Ernst. Udet awarded her the title of the world's first female flight captain, despite the honorary nature of this title.
In September of the same year, Hannah entered the Air Force's "test flight unit" as a military test pilot.
She has flown almost all Luftwaffe bombers and fighters, such as the Stuka and ME-109.
In October 1937, she drove a Heinrich. Fokker developed the Fw-61 helicopter and set a straight-line flight record of 109 km/h in 1938. For the first time, a helicopter flight show was performed indoors at the German Fair in Berlin.?
In addition, she presided over the final qualification of the DFS230 military glider, which was commonly used by German paratroopers, and she also conducted the test flights of the Do17 and He111, two medium bombers.
"During her test flight career, Hannah was seriously injured several times. In recognition of her outstanding contributions, the Air Force Headquarters awarded her the Iron Cross of the 2nd degree. She was the first woman in Germany to receive such an honor. In addition, as the first woman, she was awarded the Order of Pilot and Observer in diamond-encrusted gold by order of the Führer. Her experience is full of legends, and with her as your teacher, you can quickly become a majestic female knight in the air. Chen Dao said.
"Heinz, is Hannah really that powerful? I want to ask her to be a teacher to learn flying skills, and I also want to be a female air knight. Margaret said.
"Of course, you can ask Hannah to be your teacher, but you are different from Sang Li, you are learning to fly as a good thing, and the purpose of Sang Li learning to fly is to fight. Sang Li, do you agree with the marshal's proposal? Chen Dao asked.
The reaction of the four Levi was very strange. There was no joy and excitement as Chen Dao imagined, only silence and embarrassment.
Perceiving the ambiguous attitude of the four, Goering asked, "Why, you don't want to?" ”
Alan was embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry. Mr. Marshal, we have to live up to your kindness. ”
"Why?" Chen Dao asked puzzled.
"Because Sang Li has a fear of heights." Levi said.
Chen Dao: "
Goering: ""
"I'm really sorry." Sang Li said with a red face.
Goering waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's me who didn't think it through. ”
"If you have a fear of heights, the Air Force can't do it. The naval combat units did not suit her, and Marshal Raeder was so old-fashioned. He would not have agreed to the admission of women into the combat units of the Navy, and in the same way, the Army Command would certainly not have agreed, and we could only consider the Waffen-SS. ”
Goering said: "It can only be the Waffen-SS, let Miss Ackermann and his brother report to the Hitler Youth Division." As your friend, and as a volunteer who came to Germany from the United States, we must not be bound by stereotypes, we must do something special. ”
"Well, that's it, let them all go to the Hitler Youth Division. Himmler there I will try to convince him, the Führer is to ask, you say, this is an experiment I have done in order to let Germany lead the world trend of thought, Hitler's Youth Division will become a landmark force in the world's military history because of this experiment, please the Führer do not block this experiment because of personal conservative ideas. ”
Goering scratched his head and said, "There is some trouble with the Führer, and he will certainly not agree." “
"It's okay, if you can't convince him, let me come." Chen Dao said.
Amin couldn't help but ask, "Heinz, you said to let Sang Li join the army." It was an experiment to make Germany lead the world in terms of ideas. Can you tell me what trend you want to lead? Is it to allow female soldiers to join the fighting forces? ”
Chen Dao rubbed his hands, pondered the language, and then said, "No." The inclusion of female soldiers in the fighting force is only a façade, and the real trend is to liberate women's abilities and eventually achieve equality between men and women. ”
Holding his bulging belly, Goering sat up straight, and said curiously, "Why do you have such thoughts?" ”
"The war of modern society has long entered the era of total warfare. War is not just a matter for the military, but it is about everyone in the country, men and women. After investigation, I know that in the United Kingdom, in order to make up for the shortage of labor, the British government has already carried out a general mobilization, mobilizing a large number of women to work in factories.
In the United States, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, I not only saw long queues in front of every recruiting station in the United States, but American men enthusiastically joined the army. I also saw women in the United States rushing into the arsenal to produce airplanes, artillery, tanks, and all kinds of ammunition, truly realizing the overall state of war in which men fought on the front line and women produced in the rear.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and work brings a woman income. With the economic foundation as a guarantee, women's voice in society will be improved, and they will also pursue their rights.
I dare to assert that after the end of the war, there will be a huge women's liberation movement around the world, and women will fight for equal rights between men and women.
As the center of Europe and the leader of the Axis bloc, we must keep our finger on the pulse of the times. Since we can't stop this trend, we must stand up and lead this trend.
Miss Ackermann's enlistment in the army was just an experiment I had done, and it was also a breakthrough that I chose to break some stereotypes in Germany, so I very much hope that Miss Ackermann will become an excellent female soldier and grow into a pioneer of the German women's liberation movement in the future. ”
After Chen Dao finished speaking, the living room was silent.
"What you said is true?" Goering was the first to break the silence.
"Of course it's true. The women's liberation movement is bound to happen, and you don't have any doubts. As a great power, Germany must have a strategic foresight and face up to this imminent trend, otherwise it will not only fall into a passive situation in this trend, but will also be blamed for becoming a reactionary force that hinders this trend. And, in my eyes, women are not synonymous with weakness. Give women a chance to show themselves, and you'll be amazed at how powerful women can be. ”
"Both Elizabeth I and Catherine II are better than most male emperors in this world. Well, in that case, we might as well try to make Miss Ackermann the Waffen-SS version of Hannah. Leitch, Miss Ackerman, do you have that confidence? Goering said.
"I'm up for the challenge." Sang Li said.
"We're going to help her with this challenge." Levi said.
When the discussion came to a conclusion, the old butler informed everyone that dinner had been prepared.
After dinner, Margaret stayed behind to chat with the crowd for a while before getting up to take her leave.
Seeing Margaret away, Chen Dao followed Goering into the study.
As soon as Goering sat down, he asked, "What do you really think during the day?" ”
"Of course, why should I lie to you?" Chen Dao said.
"You said that if you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people. I don't know if what you're saying is true, but it doesn't matter, it's important not to let this woman stay with you. During the day, you notice that when you introduce Miss Ackerman to Margaret, Margaret's initial reaction is full of wariness and hostility, and it is not until you introduce Alan as her boyfriend that she dispels that hostility. In order to save you a lot of unnecessary trouble, I decided to support Miss Ackerman to join the army. If this matter were known to the Führer, it would certainly be another big trouble. ”
"Don't always hold that old and old-fashioned idea, and don't underestimate women. Miss Ackermann aside, soon a woman will come to Germany, whose arrival will be of great help to us in the war on the Eastern Front. ”
"Who are you talking about?" Goering asked.
"Alan's mother, Mrs. Brushilov."
When Chen Dao and Goering were talking at night, Margaret was also talking to Hitler about him in the Chancellery.
"Heinz invited you to Warsaw, for the first time, and I hope you have a good time." Hitler said.
"When I get back from Warsaw, I hope to be able to invite Hannah. Leitch was my teacher and taught me how to fly an airplane. ”
"Why do you think that?"
"Heinz doesn't like weak women, and learning to fly an airplane makes me a strong woman in his mind."
"Okay, I'll take care of that."
