All the army generals who had seen the scene were crazy, shouting and dancing for a while, excitedly like the New Year, and a group of short and fat old men of fifty or sixty years old were dancing and enjoying themselves like five or six-year-old big-headed dolls.

Hirohito's status is expensive, and he will not go to dangerous places, so in the end, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and took a look, but it was okay not to look at it, and he was also frightened at first glance, and the thick layer of additional armor on the surface had nothing to do, only a thin hole was opened, but he was also shocked when he looked closely at the miserable appearance in the tank cabin.

"How powerful is this little rocket?" Hirohito deduced to himself, "If this is made a little bigger and thicker, won't the battleship be able to block a blow?" ”

"Your Majesty, the range is too close, and it can't be used on ships, so it can only be used to fight tanks."

"Envoy-kun, the range is not close." An army general said excitedly, "Infantry anti-tank grenades can't be thrown so far, and even if they do, they can't blow up such thick armor." Tsk, a full 100mm, any hell of a tank is not a problem. ”

Someone next to him added: "The tanks of the Russians are no problem." ”

"Can Germany's own tanks hold back?" King Minoru Higashikuremiya asked.

Cole thought about it for a moment, and as if he hadn't, he shook his head resolutely. Everyone is even happier, the German, American, and Soviet tanks can't stop it, so there are no tanks in the world that can stop it.

"How much does it cost to produce? Is it expensive? Is it difficult? ”

"It's cheap, about the price of 2-3 mortar shells. It is not difficult to produce, and the materials are easy to obtain, so it can be processed and produced in most factories. ”

I thought that the Germans had some exclusive trick on this rocket, but when I heard the price of only 3 mortar shells and the technical requirements that ordinary factories can produce. Everyone smiled, and immediately someone said to Tada Jun: "Lu Xiang, this is a good thing, we must organize vigorous production, I can't wait for 100,000 rounds to be available tomorrow, with this thing, the infantry will not have to worry about facing American tanks......"

Tada Jun smiled awkwardly: "I'm not a land minister yet." ”

"You'll be right away." Everyone laughed and teased him, "In our hearts, you are already there." ”

"Lu Xiang is lucky. Not only did he transfer from the reserve back to active duty, but he also got the latest German weapons, and you picked up the cheap. "It was King Minoru Higashikure Palace who said this. He knew a little more: the drawings of the V1 rocket, brought in via microfilm, had also been approved by Japanese experts as a very good weapon, except that it needed to be controlled manually - but it was nothing to Japan, and Admiral Takijiro Onishi had been arranging a special attack team before that. Koichi Kido and Hirohito talked about recruiting volunteers. The latter did not express anything, neither explicitly supported nor opposed, and the people below considered it to be tacit. As for the radar drawings, the Japanese side is also stepping up research, although it has not yet been thoroughly understood, but experts generally believe that it is more advanced than Japan's original electric exploration technology.

While everyone was still in a commotion, Ishihara came over and gave an order: "Okay, okay, Your Majesty has an order to immediately convene a national policy seminar." Cole also followed everyone to the large conference room next to the test site, and was actually guided to the far right in front of him, next to Ishihara. A lieutenant colonel is extremely eye-catching in a large field of lieutenant generals.

What is the appearance of a foreigner at the Japan National Policy Seminar? Everyone was confused. However, considering the power of the iron fist just now, thinking that the German envoy is not an outsider. The crowd selectively ignored it.

"The German Special Envoy, Lieutenant Colonel Kohl, is the first adjutant of the German Father-in-State, and this mission to our country is to strengthen good-neighborliness and friendship, especially to strengthen mutual trust and exchanges among the Triple Alliance under the current pattern of the Great War; The second is to provide high-quality weapons to our country, in addition to the iron fist rockets just displayed, there are also advanced electric detectors, high-speed long-range rockets and other weapons, the power of which everyone has already understood. I now give the floor to Mr. Cole. "Kazunari Ugaki finally won the coveted nomination for prime minister, and at this moment playing the host of the meeting was so excited that he almost said everything wrong, and many people in the audience were secretly laughing at him in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, Ministers, Lords." Cole bowed deeply in accordance with etiquette before stepping over to the speaker's seat.

"The important mission of this visit is to inform the Triple Alliance of the situation in Europe and its future strategic direction. On the issue of war against the United States and Britain, the head of state of our country has made an incisive remark, saying that 'if you fight, you will seek death, and if you do not fight, you will wait for death,' and this opinion has been reported to Your Majesty in advance. You may have different opinions, but I don't think it matters, because now that the war is going on, there is no point in asking whether or not to go to war, and the key now is to look forward and how to solve the real problems that we are facing.

Some people say that I don't want to fight, can I negotiate peace? Don't say you want to make peace, the Führer and Germany want to make peace too......"

Cole deliberately paused when he said this, and there was a buzz in the audience, and Hirohito glared down in displeasure, signaling the scene to be quiet and let Cole continue.

"Can we negotiate peace if we want to? The United States and Britain jointly issued the so-called "Atlantic Charter", saying that there is no room for negotiation unless we "surrender unconditionally", of course, you will say that this is propaganda, and it is not the same thing in actual contact - this is what our country thought at first, but the reality is much more cruel than imagined.

The Führer said that if peace can be truly achieved, he is willing to make certain concessions on the basis of the existing Line of Actual Control, for example, the Eastern Front can return another 15-20% of the territory, and even compensate the Americans several billion dollars. If the Americans are not relieved, they must deal with the culprits, and they must hang a few political leaders, and he himself and the Italian leaders are not impossible to sacrifice. Here's what he said: 'Because we, as leaders, call on the people of all Germany and Italy to shed their blood for national rights, and if the leader himself is cowardly and unwilling to sacrifice when it is his turn, it is a deception and betrayal of the people, and it will have no difficulty for me to go to the gallows - from the day I was elected head of Germany, I was ready to give full devotion and sacrifice for the German people.' I can die without fear, as long as it is in the ultimate and long-term interests of the German people. ’

The Führer has already said this, but what conditions did the Americans put forward through a third party?

First, the national border has returned to pre-1933;

second, compensation for damages, handing over the culprit;

Thirdly, Germany has reduced its armament and pledged not to use force in the future.

What are the conditions? This is to bring us back to a state of total oppression under the Treaty of Versailles, and to return the German nation to a situation of fragmentation and misery of the people. If we accept such a condition, even if the Führer could have agreed, the people would never have agreed - which means that all their sacrifices, their lives, for ten years would be completely meaningless, and would life be so precious and peace so sweet that more than 80 million German people would not hesitate to wear chains and be slaves for eternity?

I don't know what the situation is like with Japan-U.S. contacts, but I suspect that the conditions will not be very good, at least to the status quo ante 1937, right? ”

Someone in the audience nodded and agreed: "Before the Japan-US peace talks in 1941, the preconditions put forward by the United States were very harsh, and it was absolutely impossible for our country to agree. ”

"This arrogant attitude, this style of not taking us seriously, if we still have a little national shame, a little military honor, and a little national pride, it is absolutely impossible to agree, Japanese ministers and generals, can you agree?"

"We will never agree......" Of course, the veteran generals and politicians at the venue were not so easily instigated, and several middle and low-level officers who were still serving at the venue when they were thinking and making decisions had all shouted, "Whoever dares to agree to this condition is a ****!" ”

"Get rid of all these red deer!" Hirohito was furious.

As soon as they heard that the emperor told them to get out, these middle and low-level officers suddenly became dumbfounded, and one by one they hurriedly nodded and withdrew, and Ishihara glanced at Cole meaningfully: This young man's tricks are very vicious!

As the young officers withdrew, they were still talking:

"Oh, look at the people, how clear, thorough, and powerful they say, how many times stronger than our old men and generals don't know how many times, why don't we have such characters in Japan?"

"Whoever said no, General Ishihara can be counted as one."

"But General Ishihara is in his 50s, and Mr. Special Envoy is only a few years old, and he is not even 40, right? Even a character like General Ishihara is rare in our country. ”

"Well, the prime minister who rummaged through the dumpsters at night had one."

"Do you know that two days ago, the special envoy went to visit General Ishihara, and General Ishihara even said that the future was terrifying, and commented that 'the level of the special envoy will be more than enough to be a deputy chief of staff in Japan in a few years.'"

"Yes, the special envoy is neither humble nor arrogant in front of the emperor and the high-level, and he talks eloquently, and he has the demeanor of a general, and he will be a proper prime minister in 20 years......

"The second adjutant is so powerful, I really want to witness the demeanor of the chief adjutant and even the Führer himself......"

"Wait, we'll have a chance to see each other when we win."

Cole, of course, didn't hear that, and he continued unhurriedly. (To be continued.) )
