Chapter 205: The Telegraph (Part II)
In the early days of the incident, Japan's attitude in its dealings with Germany was still very tough, and the commander of the 13th Army, Lieutenant General Sawada, patted his chest and swore that Japan had nothing to do with the assassination of Marshal Brumberg.
But when the Germans threw a bunch of suspicions in front of the lieutenant general, the corps commander never appeared at the negotiating table between the two sides. Foreign Minister Matsuoka led the negotiations that followed, and it was his job, and the poor Lieutenant General Sawada was just cannon fodder to test the Germans' understanding of the incident.
None of the members of the German envoys had ever specialized in criminal investigation, and Colonel Davidson, who had been a military police commander for two years, was already the most adept of these men, and as a result, there was no progress in the assassination case until Captain Stauffenberg arrived in Shanghai.
Stauffenberg was a thoughtful and excellent administrator, of course, he personally did not want to admit this, Stauffenberg, who had been educated by the aristocracy since childhood, actually wanted to be like his ancestors, to become a combat officer on the battlefield. As for what happened to this earl in Shanghai, that is the story that will be told later, and the author will sell a pass here.
"Captain Stauffenberg should be promoted to major, my Führer." Weirle picked up the crystal bottle on the coffee table and poured himself a small glass of wine.
The drinks in the Royal Suite weren't cheap either, of course, and Wehrle tasted what was supposed to be a pure Irish whiskey.
"I was going to wait for him to return to the headquarters and be promoted, but now it seems that I have to change my plans." Xu Jun reached out and dusted off the ashes in the ashtray.
"You can tell him the good news in the telegram you replied, my Führer." Wehrle said with a smile.
"It was a good idea, and it was decided. As for how to reply to those Japanese, according to what I just said, you can sort out the wording a little bit and send it out. The Reich Führer touched his chin with his hand, looking like he was in the middle of a plan.
"Is it tougher? My Führer. Weirle asked.
"We can be tough, and we want to make them feel our displeasure." Xu Jun nodded and replied.
"And what about Marshal Brumberg's visit?"
"Let Marshal Brenberg communicate with the Japanese side on his own, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should not intervene directly, and the domestic media should also handle the matter in a low-key manner. Also inform Eugene. Ott, he should get down to business, too. The Führer's tone became a little impatient.
Eugene. General Ott was a victim of the failure of the power struggle, which has never really subsided in Germany. Eugene. Ott (can also be translated as Eugen. Ott), who was once the last chancellor of the Weimar Republic, Kurt Anderson. Feng. Adjutant of General Schleicher.
When Schleicher's attempt to crush the Nazi Party by force failed, Colonel Otto, who was directly involved in the conspiracy, was kicked out of army command as an unreliable figure and sent to the island nation of Japan on the other side of the world as military attaché at the German embassy in Japan.
As a result, it took five years for Schleicher to be shot by the Nazis on the night of the Long Knife four years earlier, and Otto had already lost his backstage. Colonel Otto's work in Japan gradually restored the trust of the Nazi Party, and he became the last acting temporary ambassador, Wilhelm Otto. After Nobel stepped down, Eugene. Otto was finally appointed by Hitler to the post of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Greater German Reich to Japan, and was also promoted to the rank of Major General.
The general of the Nazi Party had mixed feelings, he was once influenced by Schleicher and resolutely opposed the Nazi Party to come to power, but now he was used to the Nazi armbow and to the Adolf on the bedroom wall. The portrait of Hitler, of course, has now been replaced by Reinhardt. Feng. Portrait of Staunt.
The general was a man of simple character, more gullible to acquaintances, and historically he trusted Sorge, the greatest Red Army spy of the twentieth century, almost unconditionally. It was the intelligence leaked from Ott that reversed the unfavorable situation of the Soviet army on the Eastern Front and completely bankrupted the strategic attempt of the central cluster of the German army. It was because of the involvement in the Sorge case that the ambassador was forced to leave his post and leave Japan and return to China.
There is little historical record of what happened to the ambassador four or three years later, and it is likely that he was punished by the Nazi Party, and what Xu Jun knows is that the major general survived the terrible war and finally died in 1977.
However, in the current time and space, this general is proud of the spring breeze at this time, mingling in Tokyo's social circles all day long, holding a large number of mark banknotes, and enjoying the luxury of the wine pond meat forest.
After the death of Hitler, the stain of history that Major General once carried faded, and he is now Reinhardt. Feng. A loyal supporter of Stadler, the general's performance inside and outside the embassy was completely impeccable, demonstrating his immense loyalty to the new Führer at every turn.
Because of the Führer's emphasis on Japan's domestic intelligence, the ambassador was already surrounded by people from Odin's eyes at the moment, and at the same time, Ambassador Ott himself was given the mission of collecting Japanese intelligence. As a result, Odin's Eye found that this person was really suitable for this job, because he was very familiar with both the Japanese military and government, and the Japanese also felt that he had no scheming.
Major General Ott also enjoys the current life, not only the excitement of being a spy, but also the pleasure of wine and food at public expense, and from time to time he can engage in a few romantic affairs to enrich his boring spare time. Anyway, in less than half a year, the general has not changed much in other aspects, but his weight has really increased a lot.
Now it was his turn to perform his duties as an ambassador, and Xu Jun believed that the ambassador would be able to get everything done, and of course it would be more efficient if someone gave him a whip in the back.
"Then I'll go and draw up the draft of the telegram, my Führer." After drinking the whiskey in the glass, Weierle respectfully bowed to Xu Jun and said goodbye, looking a little tired and still having time to sleep before dinner.
"I do want to hire the butler, Weirle." Xu Jun took a cigar in his mouth and said indifferently, but if he was careful enough, he would find a sly smile in the corner of his eyes.
"Oh? Can you tell me why? My Führer. Of course it's your freedom, and you have every right to choose who you hire, but I really want to know why you're doing it. Werler sat down again, thinking that he knew the Führer's temperament well, but he was still often confused by the whims of the other party.
"Don't you think Fett is a pretty good butler, and I'm missing someone like that, so I sent out an invitation." Xu Jun replied lightly.
"Don't you think it's too hasty, my Führer, to at least ask the Eye of Odin to investigate his background. He was an Englishman, and his master and his wife had both died indirectly in the last war, and I don't know if he had a hatred for the Germans because of it. Wehrle advised.
"It's your job, Wheeler, and I trust the ability of Odin's Eye to thoroughly investigate Fett's background before he takes up his official job." Xu Jun took a puff of his cigar after speaking.
"My Führer, what will Tysenhofen do if you do this, he was the one who did the work of these butlers." Weirle said with a frown.
"Hah, you've finally brought it up, Wierle. I knew you were worried about Tysenhofen. Xu Jun laughed, and he pointed at Werler with a cigar.
"Wait a minute, my Führer, did you do all this on purpose?" Werler's eyes widened and he made a look of surprise.
"It's not deliberate, it can only be said that there was a sudden inspiration at that time." Xu Jun puffed out the smoke and said, "How could I not consider Eric's idea, in fact, I hired Fitt as a housekeeper for Tysenhofen." He's a self-motivated young man, and I can't keep him on a personal adjutant position. Although his position was that of a life adjutant, he had in fact succeeded in taking Hans's place as an excellent chief secretary and military assistant. ”
"What do you mean?"
"He should get out of the chores and leave the menial work to the professionals. Eric can devote his energy to the work of the Führer's House, and I need someone like him who can be trusted to handle more important work for me. Xu Jun said with burning words, but Weierle thought that the last sentence might be the ultimate goal of the Führer.
"I'm going to let Eric continue to manage the Secretariat, and at the same time promote him to military adjutant, and when he is familiar with the administrative work, I will transfer him to the Operations Division of the Headquarters for a period of time."
"You want him to be another Hans? My Führer? Wehrle asked in surprise.
"No, everything depends on his personal choice, I will not impose my fate on the heads of those around me, if Eric does not have such thoughts, then I would also be happy to be accompanied by such a good adjutant." The Führer tilted his head and glanced out the door.
