Although there was a not particularly harmonious beginning, but then there was a dazzling spark between Li Ling and Goebbels, Li Ling's views on public opinion propaganda made Goebbels very appreciative, and at the same time, Li Ling relied on his own grasp of history, and the slightly revised theory of the international situation and youth education made Goebbels even more impressed.

In addition, the two of them were more concerned with the handling of the Rabe issue, because of Li Ling's particularity, Goebbels did not reserve, his idea was to use newspapers, radio and other means to directly carry out large-scale propaganda.

However, this idea was directly rejected by Li Ling!

Although Goebbels' method could make all the German people realize in a very short time what a hateful country their allies were, it was very beneficial for Germany to make a final decision on German diplomacy, and Li Ling hoped that the sooner the better.

However, Li Ling still has a problem to consider, and such overwhelming and large-scale propaganda will obviously make some reactionary forces seize their tongues and stir up a whirlpool of public opinion on the grounds that 'you know that such a country is scum, but why do you still ally with it'.

So, in the end, Li Ling persuaded Goebbels to reveal it to the outside world little by little in a relatively peaceful and euphemistic way!

As a result of the discussion between the two people, a photo of the city of Nanjing was first sent out from a newspaper that was not very conspicuous, and then more and more newspapers began to forward and report, more and more detailed content began to appear, and the name of John Rabe officially broke into people's field of vision.

Subsequently, the German government 'finally' took note of the situation among the people and continued to inquire on various occasions. Soon, the German Foreign Ministry began to note to the ambassador of the Japanese side, questioning it!

When this incident began to ferment in Germany, other countries began to gradually understand the truth of the matter, and the international community began to put pressure on Germany!

On New Year's Day 1939, German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop issued a statement that "the inhumane evil acts and crimes committed by the Japanese Government in Nanjing, the capital of China, are truly intolerable, and after repeated discussions by the German Government, Führer Hess has officially ******** that from this day onwards, the German Government will formally sever all diplomatic exchanges with the Japanese Government and expel all Japanese government offices in Germany, Freeze all assets of the Japanese government in Germany. ’

Ribbentrop's statement shocked the whole world with its strong wording, and the consequences made the whole world go crazy!

This is not a simple unilateral severance of diplomatic relations, which is almost equivalent to a declaration of war between two countries!

Germany could have chosen to cancel the military alliance or downgrade its diplomatic ranks, but the German government unexpectedly chose to completely sever diplomatic relations, and at the same time expelled all Japanese staff in Germany, freezing all Japanese assets in Germany by the way, leaving the Japanese government with no room for maneuver, and only a final declaration of war between the two sides!

This choice of Germany has puzzled all countries, but at the same time it has made the people of quite a few countries rejoice, although this statement, although the German-Japanese alliance that had only begun for two years has collapsed, but it has made Germany's international reputation leap a thousand miles, and some countries that had broken off diplomatic relations with Germany because of Kristallnacht have also begun to try to resume diplomacy with Germany!

Whether this business is a loss or a profit, the answer will always emerge slowly with time, and all everyone has to do is to wait slowly.

The changes in the international situation have made Li Ling somewhat happy, which at least shows that his future has a good start, even if he does not think from his own point of view, but from the perspective of Germany's national strategy, it is also a good thing. You must know that Li Ling could not forget the extreme effect of the 'surprise attack on Pearl Harbor' in allowing the United States to find an excuse to enter the war.

"Didn't you say you were going to develop your big air force program? Why bother with my navy! ”

Erich Raeder sat in his office trembling angrily, he had always been worried that war would come, and now the strength of the German Navy is simply not enough to deal with a large-scale war, it can be said that if the current German Navy has a war, it can only go to extinction!

Just ten days ago, the aircraft carrier USS Zeppelin, the most important part of the Imperial Navy's revival plan Z, was finally launched! Although the construction of the Zeppelin is actually only 85% complete, this at least indicates that Germany already has a real aircraft carrier, not the chicken ribs of the previous seaplane carrier West****.

Raeder has been in a state of great euphoria lately, and the fall of Goering has given him a revival of the German Navy, as the new Luftwaffe commander Kurt Vorkebier is clearly not as qualified as his own, and it will be much better to negotiate his own budget.

In addition, because of the fall of Goering, the German Navy finally took control of the aircraft carrier Zeppelin, and the German Navy would become a truly powerful navy without being interfered with by laymen.

However, Raeder was apparently not happy for a few days, because just ten days after the launch of the Zeppelin, the new Luftwaffe commander Volcbeele came to the door again, with the same purpose as Goering, wanting the command of the Zeppelin!

"I don't want the command of the Zeppelin, but I have to take command of the air force above, you don't know how to fight in the air, this kind of thing must be left to the command of the air force! Moreover, the Zeppelin will also be able to become a foothold for the outward expansion of the great Luftwaffe in the future, which is a big deal for the whole of Germany! ”

"How do you command? In the future, we are going to go to the depths of the ocean, how do you command? Obviously, once the Zeppelin is in combat, it will have to be far from home, and you will not be able to command it in real time! Moreover, the operation is at sea, not to attack land targets, and you do not understand the situation at sea at all! Putting the Zeppelin in command of the Navy is the right thing to do! ”

"Isn't it good to do your job? Why do you want to monopolize the command of the entire aircraft carrier! ”

"There will be more aircraft carriers in service in the future, do you plan to take command? Moreover, naval operations are originally a matter for the navy, what kind of bamboo pole do you insert! ”

"No, I don't agree, this matter must involve the Air Force!"

"Don't you agree that it works? If you have the ability, you can build a ship yourself! Build your own aircraft carriers! ”

"Then don't use planes!"

"How can you be so unreasonable! It's not even as good as that dead fat man from Goering! How can your Air Force look like this! ”
