As the regent of Hungary with real power, Holtie's experience can be said to have a great degree of similarity with Reinhardt's experience.

With his innate astuteness, Horthy rose through the ranks of the navy when Hungary was still an Austro-Hungarian Empire, successively serving as the attendant military attaché, retinue staff officer, cruiser captain, and fleet commander of the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I.

After the outbreak of World War I, Horti led the fleet of Austria-Hungary to fight against the Allied navies, and on several occasions inflicted heavy losses on the Italian navy, which was known as the hegemon of the Mediterranean.

In the Battle of Autrante on May 15, 1917, Horti, who was still a naval colonel, commanded an Austro-Hungarian detachment with the strength of 3 light cruisers and 2 destroyers to raid the Italian transport fleet with lightning speed, destroying 2 destroyers, 15 armed trawlers and 4 merchant ships of the Italian Navy in one fell swoop, creating a local advantage of the Austro-Hungarian Navy.

It can be said that Horthy is the Austro-Hungarian version of "Reinhardt". And Reinhardt's exploits in the German Navy were only to create a "rainbow operation" that saved the dignity of the German Navy in failure. However, Horthy actually led the Austro-Hungarian navy to victory, thwarted the Italian navy, which was dominating the Mediterranean at that time, and shook the stability of the Vienna system.

For this German Führer, who had a career in the navy like himself and rose to the position of national leader by quelling civil strife, Horthy did not dare to slack off.

Although the other party was not good, when facing Reinhardt, who walked into the conference room surrounded by a group of German attachés, Horty's face did not show any contempt, even if the other party looked a little stupid, Horty also maintained a respectful gaze at Reinhardt.

Politics is a man's game as well as a wise man's game. Even two politicians from different countries who are in a-for-tat confrontation will not affect the subtle respect between two politicians with minds beyond ordinary people.

This is a hero, a hero, a hero!

"Have you seen enough?" Reinhardt rolled his eyes at Horty, picked up a cup of teacup on the conference table, and after gulping it like drinking mineral water, he said to Horty with his index finger without grace: "You should guess the reason why I'm here!" No, I want to represent the righteous Third Reich for a bright future for the Hungarian people! Don't get in the way. ”

Depend on! This guy hasn't given the other party a good look since he came in, and he doesn't look at it at all. After a few sentences, Horty was already sweating profusely. What the fuck is this politician, just a fool who speaks without going through his brain.

It's a pity that weak countries have no confidence. Under the military and political power of the Third Reich, the leader of a small country, Horti, could only endure the stupidity of the big country in his eyes.

Under the restless gaze of Horti and other high-ranking Hungarian officials, Reinhardt's faceless face kept a silly expression, and after a while, he said slowly: "Okay, let's get down to business." ”

Horty, who was disturbed by Reinhardt's unpleasant blow to the head after entering the door, was finally relieved to hear that the other party was going to get down to business. After all, he is still very good at negotiating serious things.

Looking at Horty, who was waiting for him to "get down to business" with an expectant face, Reinhardt was stunned for a few seconds, and said coldly: "By the way, I only know that Mr. Holty is the regent." And who is your king? ”

What kind of business is this!? After listening to the translation, Horti almost vomited blood. Your so-called business is to ask such inexplicable questions.

"The Führer said that he wanted to satisfy his curiosity." The German translator brought by Reinhardt thoughtfully translated another sentence for Horty.

In fact, there is no need to add this sentence, and Horty does not dare not answer Reinhardt's question. Now, whether he can protect his rights or not depends most likely on the face of this unscrupulous German Führer.

At this time, Horthy did not dare to offend the fierce god Reinhardt.

"I'm sorry, but there is no king in Hungary for the time being." Horthy replied politely.

"Oh, that's right." Reinhardt nodded thoughtfully.

How else to say that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. At the time of the merger of Germany and Austria, the Iron Cross flag was flying on the Hungarian border. And the not-so-friendly Romania next door to Hungary has been falling out with the Germans lately.

As the ruler of Hungary, Horthy didn't care how much Romanian oil got to Germany, but he cared how much German weapons got to Romania.

As far as the Romanian Government's propaganda in recent times is concerned, there is a strong presence that the German Government is fully assisting in arming the Romanian Army. It is obvious to all that the Spanish German mechanics are capable of fighting, and if Romania also has one or two German mechanics, then Hungary will not have a good time.

The German Führer had chosen to visit at a time when calls for a Hungarian-German merger were rising, and Horthy dared to carelessly serve Reinhardt with good food and drink.

"One more thing" Reinhardt, who was nervous, asked with a pure expression: "Hungary has no navy, what is Admiral Horti?" ”

Provocation, blatant provocation!

If Reinhardt's first question can be understood as curiosity due to ignorance, then this second question is difficult to explain in any way.

As for the fact that Hungary does not have a navy, Horti, who once had great achievements in the navy, has always been haunted. Everyone knows that Horthy loved the navy and once claimed to wear only the uniform of an admiral all his life. Unfortunately, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire deprived the remaining Hungary of its coastline, making the Hungarian later dictator an admiral of a country without a navy.

Reinhardt asked this question, and the humiliation was already heavy. Horty, a little annoyed, glared into his eyes with anger.

However, Horthy is a mature politician after all, and he can still tolerate Reinhardt's provocations. It only took a few seconds for Horthy to adjust his mentality and change to a polite attitude to explain to Reinhardt, who was knowingly asking.

Isn't this angry?! Under Horty's calm answer, Reinhardt reluctantly chose to give up the provocation. That's it, then don't use words to stimulate him.

"Smack!" A crisp slap resounded throughout the conference room.

In front of everyone's eyes, Reinhardt, who is the president and prime minister of a country, actually brazenly committed murder in front of a group of members of the German delegation and high-ranking Hungarian officials.

While beating, he scolded and scolded: "I think I can't find an excuse if I have a good attitude?" Don't dare to hit you? No way! Whatever I say today, I will do the right thing for heaven and clean you up on behalf of the righteous Third Reich. ”
