Chapter 337: The Prince's Plea (II)
It lasted almost a few seconds, and the scene fell into an awkward silence. Xu Jun's eyes widened and he looked at the Prince of Yugoslavia, and at that moment he really didn't know how to talk to the other party.
This guy doesn't play his cards according to common sense at all, according to diplomatic practice, shouldn't the two sides have a polite conversation after they sit down?
Xu Jun was originally going to talk to the other party about the weather in Berlin, whether the road was going well, and then greet each other's family members, etc., and only then began to talk about formal issues when the atmosphere between the two sides became familiar.
But what is this now, where is there anyone who shouts for help at each other before they just meet and their butts are hot.
"Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by that." Xu Jun finally relented, and he asked with a smile, looking like he didn't understand what the other party said at all.
The Reich Führer also leaned back on the sofa, changed into a more comfortable position, folded his legs and touched his knees, and tilted his head to look at the Yugoslav prince opposite.
"The new head of state in Germany is really a beautiful man, the real person is a little more handsome than in the photo, why didn't I find out when I came last time." The handsome face and elegant demeanor of the German Führer made the 47-year-old Yugoslav prince unable to help but be stunned.
However, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent reacted immediately, now is not the time to think about those messes, he is now shouldering the fate of the entire Serbian nation, and only by winning the support of the imperial head in front of him can the Kingdom of Yugoslavia escape the impending catastrophe.
But this man is really, really handsome, Prince Paul swallowed secretly.
"Your Royal Highness?" Finding that the other party did not answer, Xu Jun asked again.
"I'm sorry about that, Your Excellency. What I just said is indeed a bit reckless. Prince Paul organized the language for a moment, and then apologized to Xu Jun with a sincere face.
"The Kingdom of Yugoslavia has always maintained very good relations with Germany, and the two countries have previously established a strong friendship."
Prince Paul started with a series of clichés. This was actually a routine he had already conceived on the plane to Berlin, first using straightforward pleas to arouse the curiosity of the other party, and then start to find ways to lobby the other party.
Now that the first step had been successful and seemed to be working well, it was time to put the prince to the test and show his diplomatic eloquence.
"I agree with you, Your Highness Paul. The Greater German Reich has always attached great importance to friendship with neighboring countries, and Germany and Yugoslavia have maintained very close economic and trade cooperation over the past few years. However, you still haven't explained what you just said, and if I heard me correctly, you want to ask me to save the Kingdom of Yugoslavia? Is there any major crisis in your country, is it a problem in the internal political situation, or is it a military threat from a foreign enemy? Xu Jun still had a faint smile on his face, and Tysenhofen respectfully handed a cup of freshly brewed green tea to his hand.
"I'm already sitting here, and you're pretending to be inexplicable, it's too brazen, don't tell me about the Wehrmacht putting up hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the Austrian border, you, the Supreme Commander, don't know anything about it." Prince Paul secretly despised the other party's acting skills, but he could only think about it in his heart, and he would never dare to reply like this in person.
"Your Excellency, I am sorry that I forgot to congratulate you on the fact that in the war with Great Britain, you led Germany to another great victory. Now in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, there are already people who compare you with Napoleon of the past, and some even think that you are Alexander the Great of this era, a worthy leader of Europe. Paul didn't answer directly, but first sent a string of sycophants.
Are you cursing me, Xu Jun couldn't help but squint at the Serb opposite, Napoleon is it, what the hell is Alexander, this short-lived guy, saying that this good name came out of the mouth of the Yugoslav royal family, why does it always feel wrong.
"I am very grateful to the Yugoslav people for their personal praise to me, the prince is Serbian, and I have always admired the courage and tenacity of the Serbian nation." Xu Jun nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and by the way, he sent a compliment that he didn't want money.
"Thank you, I will convey the compliments of His Excellency the Führer to the Serbian people. Your Excellency the Führer, the Great German Empire, led by you, has now become the undisputed leader and defender of Europe, so when our government and nation are in crisis, my first thought is to ask Germany for help. He asked Germany to help save the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in distress. Prince Paul said to Xu Jun with emotion.
"The kingdom is in a great crisis, and the Croatian nationalists in the country are planning to start a rebellion for national independence. And some Serbian officers in the government are also plotting a plot to overthrow the current coalition government. I fear that in the near future there will be a great change in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Prince Paul said with a sad face.
He obviously exaggerated some of the facts, and many of them were stories he made up on the fly. The Croats do have independent ambitions, but at this time they have absolutely no attempt at rioting.
As for the officer corps preparing for the coup, which he made up haphazardly on the road, the prince would not have thought that this was the closest thing to a historical fact.
Xu Jun knew that there was indeed a group of Serbian officers in the original time and space, dissatisfied with Paul's decision to submit to the Third Reich, and at the instigation of the British, they brazenly launched a mutiny, overthrew the regency government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and supported the young King Peter II to ascend the throne.
As a result, when the coup d'état was successful, this group found that they had been wiped out by the British, and Churchill did not even see a shadow of the support he had promised with his chest, and the monstrous anger caused by the humiliation of the German Führer could be clearly felt as far away as Belgrade.
At this time, this group of pro-British factions became frightened, and hurriedly made a statement that they would still be on the side of Germany, but it was already too late by this time, Hitler did not want to hear any reason at all, he only considered it a shameless betrayal, and the rebels must be punished, because it was a blatant challenge to the Third Reich and his personal honor.
As a result, everyone also knows that Germany and several vassal states occupied the entire territory of Yugoslavia in 11 days, annihilating and capturing 350,000 Yugoslav troops, while the German army only killed 151 officers and soldiers in this war of annihilation, and the total number of wounded was less than 400.
It was not that the Yugoslav army was too wasteful, but that the situation was changing so quickly that they did not make any preparations for combat at all, and when fighting the enemy army, as expected, fierce infighting broke out among the soldiers of various nationalities in the army, and many troops did not even fire a single shot, and directly defected to the side of the aggressor.
But now the British have surrendered, this group of pro-British Serbian officers
