Chapter 189: A Special Guest on the Western Front
Britain, France, and other countries did not think that the strange "friendship" between Germany and the Soviet Union would last long, and they envisaged that Germany would break with the Soviet Union immediately after the end of the Polish campaign, and that Army Group A and C would launch an attack on the Soviet Union's Belorussian Front and the Ukrainian Front as soon as the campaign ended. Fastest updates
However, things did not go as they thought, and instead of tearing their faces and beating their heads, Germany and the Soviet Union held a joint military parade of the Soviet, German, and Czech countries, at which Stalin even said to Lyon: "The friendship between the German and Soviet peoples, cemented in blood, will continue to be maintained and consolidated."
As a matter of fact, Britain, France, and other countries did not make a mistake in their strategic assumptions, and the "friendship" between Germany and the Soviet Union was only superficial, and sooner or later Germany and the Soviet Union would tear their faces apart and fight with real knives and guns.
Because the Soviet Union and Germany had a long-standing feud, and Lyon worked with the German high command to formulate a plan for an invasion of the Soviet Union called "Barbarossa" very early.
However, Britain, France, and other countries did not know about the existence of "Barbarossa", so Britain, France, and other Allied countries began to reflect on whether there was a problem with their strategic assumptions, and whether they should launch a surprise attack on the western part of Germany, which was empty, while the main German forces were still correcting the mistakes made in the front on the eastern front.
However, after intense discussions, the Allies chose not to attack Germany, on the grounds that "if Germany does not attack the Soviet Union, it will certainly not attack the stronger Allies, and if Germany wants to attack the Allies, it will definitely deal with the Soviet Union first." Therefore, instead of attacking Germany first, it is better to wait for Germany and the Soviet Union to break the blood, and the Allies will sit on the sidelines and reap the fishermen."
If Lyon had known of this strange reason, he would have laughed twice, and then asked Churchill and Lebrun where they had the confidence to say that Germany would have done it against the Soviet Union first.
But even if the Allies reacted, they lost their best chance to take action against Germany.
On 3 June, Army Group A on the Eastern Front, after a short break, boarded the train back to Germany and went to the Western Front in an orderly manner to fill the loopholes in Germany on the Western Front. Army Group C continued to be stationed in German-occupied Poland to stabilize the situation in post-war Poland.
Berlin, Germany, Führer's estate.
At the moment, Leon is sitting on the lawn of the estate with a special guest, enjoying a relaxing afternoon tea time.
"Your Excellency, to tell you the truth, I really envy you for having such a wonderful family." A middle-aged man in his 50s sat next to Leon, looked at Sophia and Angelica who were playing not far away, and said to Leon with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Wittgenstein laughed." Leon laughed, "Don't you also have a wonderful family?" The harmony within the Wittgenstein family is the envy of most people! ”
When it comes to the Wittgenstein family, everyone may be unfamiliar with it, but when it comes to the "European Sixth Reich", some people will have heard of it, and this "European Sixth Reich" refers to the Wittgenstein family.
The economic strength of the Wittgenstein family is extremely terrifying, and the previous patriarch, Karl Wittgenstein, even used the power of a family to fund Kolchak and Denikin against the entire Soviet Union at the beginning of the Soviet Union.
"No, no, our family relationship is really great, but my family culture is terrible for me." Ludwig Wittgenstein smiled wryly and waved his hand, "I was taught to be a business by my father since I was a child, but God knows, I have no interest in business, what I really love is art!" I have the soul of art, but I have to deal with dirty money all day, and I think you can understand that feeling, Monsieur de Lyon. ”
"That's uncomfortable." Leon shrugged his shoulders, "But Mr. Wittgenstein, your family's strength has been declining since the end of the last world war." ”
Wittgenstein raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Why does Your Excellency the Führer care about our Wittgenstein family?" ”
"Because I think your family is a good partner." Leon smiled meaningfully.
"Partners? What does the Führer want to cooperate with us? Wittgenstein asked with interest.
Although Ludwig Wittgenstein was passionate about art and philosophy, as the current head of the Wittgenstein family, he was also full of talent in business, so after Lyon talked about cooperation, he became interested to see what the most powerful man in Germany proposed to propose.
"Let me first explain that although you are the head of Germany, if your proposed cooperation project does not meet our appetite, we will still choose to refuse." Ludwig Wittgenstein added.
There was a faint warning in his words, but at his level of economic strength, he was indeed qualified to say such things to Leon.
"How so? Our cooperation with others has always been based on mutual trust, and we will never force anyone to cooperate with us. Leon said seriously, of course, everyone knows whether what he said is true or false.
"Moreover, the cooperation project I propose must meet your appetite, after all, I don't think anyone is not interested in monopolizing the European market."
"What, what?" Wittgenstein was taken aback.
Although he roughly guessed that Germany might make a move against France based on the recent movements of the German army, he never expected that Lyon's appetite was so big that he would eat the whole of Europe!
"I say, I want to dominate the whole of Europe, I want to establish a new order in Europe!" "Now," reiterated Leon, "as the head of Germany and the initiator of the new order, I cordially invite you, the honorable Mr. Ludwig Wittgenstein, to join us in our plans and to share with us the whole of Europe!" ”
"I need time to calm down!" Wittgenstein said in a trembling voice.
"Please! I have plenty of time to wait for you to get back to me. "But I think you know very well what we're capable of, and I think you know that the mighty Wehrmacht and the SS will give us a promise of sufficient weight to our plans!" ”
Lyon was indeed right, Wittgenstein was well aware of Germany's strength, after all, it was not impossible to dismember Poland's existence within a month, give them some time, and overturn the whole of Europe.
"Well, as a sign of our sincerity, I would like to present you with a gift on behalf of the German government and the Axis Powers." Leon took a document from the adjutant next to him and handed it to Wittgenstein.
Wittgenstein was puzzled by the outcome document, and when he opened it, he couldn't close his mouth in shock.
