155 Still the same carriage ((1))
Li Ling is not a German, he doesn't know how much the Germans hate the French, but he has been in Germany for so long in this era, and he can already understand some things. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
It's not like what Hitler did in history and what Heydrich is doing now when he became Führer – pulling a carriage out of a museum in Compiègne, the capital of the Oise department, about 80 kilometers northeast of Paris, France......
When the French negotiating delegation, led by General Charles Huntsger, went to the station of Reton in Compiègne, and saw the carriage that had been placed there, the faces of the French were green, and they had imagined 10,000 German swaggers before they came, but they never imagined that the Germans would pull the carriage that once represented the supreme glory out of the museum.
The carriage, numbered 2419D, was of extraordinary importance to the French and, obviously, to the Germans as well.
This carriage was once the royal seat of Napoleon III. In the carriage, Napoleon III's capture of 1870 in the Franco-Prussian War became the most humiliating scene in French history and marked the rise of Germany.
However, in November 1918, it was in this carriage that Germany, defeated in the First World War, signed an armistice with France at this location.
The reason why Marshal Fuxi, the commander-in-chief of the French army at that time, chose to accept Germany's surrender in this humiliating carriage at that time was itself a silent oath to the re-emergence of France, and to swear that France had finally trampled Germany under its feet again.
But the French at that time probably never imagined that after just 22 years, this carriage was pulled out again, in the same place, the same two sides, but the roles were reversed.
On May 23, 1940, the Germans came here again, this time, they wanted to regain the shame that the French had brought to Germany, this time, the Germans wanted to humiliate the long-cherished enemy France!
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people led by Heydrich and Li Ling came to Leitong Station, next to the carriage that had already been placed, Heydrich stopped, he quietly looked at a granite stone tablet next to the carriage, there was a line of French on the stele, Li Ling also saw it, this time, he completely understood why Heydrich chose the location here.
I'm afraid that not only Hitler or Heydrich, but any one of them would be the head of Germany, and they would have chosen this place to accept the surrender of France after killing France!
"On November 11, 1918, here the glory of the sins of the German Empire finally succumbed!"
When the group walked into the carriage, Heydrich did not sit in the front, Li Ling and General Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the General Staff of the German High Command, sat in the front, and today, the two of them are the protagonists.
Unlike the previous talks between Li Ling and Ribbentrop in the Moscow Kremlin, this time it was a formal armistice agreement between the two countries, and this kind of formal meeting, as the victorious party, would prepare some preamble text before the official start of the negotiations, and William Keitel began this work as soon as everyone was seated.
The French were pale, which was a great shame, but this time they were so embarrassed that they were so embarrassed that they were not qualified to say anything about dignity, so they could only endure their grievances and wait quietly for the negotiations to begin.
Heydrich and the rest of the German executives, not knowing what was wrong, left the carriage before Keitel could finish reading the preface.
Maybe it's because they're too excited and afraid of gaffes, right? Li Ling took it for granted that this was the case.
After reading the preface, Wilhelm Keitel did not wait for the French to say a word, he continued to read the text of the surrender that had been drawn up in advance, as if this was not a negotiation at all, it was simply that the Germans had prepared everything in advance, and that it was enough to wait for the French delegation to come and sign it.
"Your conditions are too harsh! Where is this peace talks? This is simply surrender, and it is unconditional surrender, I can't sign, and if I do, I'm a traitor! General Huntsger listened to Keitel's offer and almost fainted in anger.
"Sir, do you think that if you don't sign now, you are not a traitor? By the time you come to this place, you've been labeled traitors by your people! And, don't forget, what qualifications do you have to negotiate now? ”
"But we will never agree to such conditions!"
Huntsger's hands holding the papers were bruised and trembling. Shake.
"Do you really need land that much? The whole northern half of France and the Atlantic coast, if I sign, how can I face the people of France as a whole? France lost more than half of its land at once! ”
"What do you mean, General, that it would be better for our great German army to occupy all of France directly, and then make France disappear from the world map?"
William Keitel is pressing hard, and he won't let go of such a great opportunity.
"But you're so unreasonable! Even if we cede the land, then you shouldn't ask us to bear the military expenses incurred by your army to invade us! This condition is simply unreasonable! If you don't have the slightest sincerity, what if you occupy all of France! Don't forget, we can still break through from Italy, that Italian ally of yours! ”
Hearing Huntsger put forward the word Italy, Keitel had a big head, when they discussed the negotiation plan, they had specifically considered that they must press the French as much as possible, and not let the French remember Italy's affairs, if Italy did not participate in the war at that time, or even if Italy fought a little less humiliating, there would not be such an embarrassing moment now.
"If you go to attack Italy, I'll see if it's our speed or your speed! Also, if you're really lucky enough to bring Italy down, shouldn't I thank you? There is no right reason to control Italy, and you seem to be creating opportunities for us now. ”
Without waiting for Keitel to speak, Li Ling took the first step to speak!
The Frenchmen in front of them basically knew about Li Ling by reading the newspapers about the military parade in Paris, so they didn't pay too much attention to Li Ling, but Keitel was different, Kettel knew Li Ling's ability.
He knew that the moment Li Ling opened his mouth, the French were already doomed to lose with nothing!
