The fact that the merchants supported the Empire's layout and strategy in Asia did not mean that Germany was capable of interfering in the current affairs of Asia.

In fact, Germany now has little capacity to appeal to the Far East.

After the First World War, Germany lost its colony in Qingdao, China, and could no longer afford to extend its hand into Asia.

Later, when Germany intervened in Asian affairs, it adopted a very modest strategy of aid and support.

This strategy restored Germany's prestige in the Asian region and indeed contributed to the reputation of German industry in the future.

You know, since the Krupp era, Germany has left the impression on the Chinese that it is sophisticated and powerful.

The two warships of Zhenyuan and Dingyuan, which were purchased from Germany, also played an inestimable role in the war.

Later, for the sake of its own country's arms business, Nazi Germany also had very deep exchanges and cooperation with the Republic of China.

Before China formed the later American mechanics, the posture of the 35 steel helmets on the Asian battlefield was indeed talked about.

One of the founders of the Wehrmacht, the former commander of the Wehrmacht, General Sickert, also traveled to China and served as a military adviser to the Chinese army.

Later, Chiang Kai-shek still remembered this excellent soldier vividly, and praised this German soldier from afar in front of Stilwell and others.

With such a pleasant cooperation, it is very easy for Germany to resume such cooperation – at least the two sides have a basis for cooperation and can continue to cooperate on this basis.

"My Führer! IMHO! We don't have much energy left to care about the mess in Asia. After the meeting, Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, who had come to discuss foreign policy, said to Führer Li Le.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now overloaded, and if we develop a new area, there will be some surprises that are difficult to control!" He was a little anxious and worried about the future of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The diplomatic service of the Third Reich today is on the verge of being overwhelmed by the heavy new workload.

Among other things, this department was first and foremost responsible for relations with a series of countries that had never been seen in history, such as Vichy France, the British mainland, and the Low Countries.

At the same time, it is responsible for its previous international relations with partner countries such as Italy and Romania.

If you include Belarus, the Mediterranean region, and the Middle East, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now a little overstretched.

"I know, I know! Minister Ribbentrop...... I know! "Li Le is also a head two big.

Germany's most serious problem today is a long-standing systemic problem. It was so small that no one could have predicted that it would become the hegemon of Europe and the world.

Therefore, with the exception of the Wehrmacht, which is full of famous generals, all the remaining departments do not seem to be ready to expand and cannot meet the needs of the present stage.

The industrial sector has been expanded because of the need for it. Because of Goebbels, the Propaganda Department has expanded a lot.

As for the other departments, they are all overstretched now, and it makes people sad to watch.

"Diplomats are no ordinary soldiers, and they can't be replenished so quickly...... "The Führer explained gloomily.

In fact, he has ordered the mobilization of 30 retired diplomats to rejoin the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it has still not been able to change the status quo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is short of major generals.

"If it doesn't work, let's try to find some retired old diplomats!" After thinking about it, Li Le didn't have a good way, so he had to repeat his old tricks.

Ribbentrop didn't have a good idea, so he nodded and said, "My Führer, before the Soviet Union was conquered, we had to be cautious in Asia. ”

"Don't worry, the idea I mentioned is just a far-sighted plan, and it doesn't have to be implemented, or it may not be implemented immediately." Li Le also knew that although his imagination was good, he was indeed in a bit of a hurry.

"At present, we can only wait for the victory on the Soviet front, and then we can think about the relationship in the Asian region." Li Le put his hands behind his back and gave his thoughts.

Hearing what the Führer said, Ribbentrop relieved himself and opened his mouth to talk about another thing that he had come to the Führer: "The American side hopes to exchange some grain for some intelligence about Japan, and some high-end export automobile ......."

It was a private contact, with the U.S. Navy wiped out near Hawaii and what little remnants of its forces were lost in the Battle of Midway.

Today, the United States can only rely on small warships such as aircraft and destroyers for coastal defense.

The Battle of Midway was over, and the Marines of the Japanese Navy managed to defeat the American defenders and take control of Midway.

If nothing else happens, Hawaii will also be occupied by Japan, and all the United States can do now is to retreat to Australia and the mainland and wait for its new fleet to be formed.

Until then, the United States urgently needs intelligence about Japan to support their judgments.

After thinking about it, it is a good choice to exchange some inconsequential materials for some Japanese intelligence that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

At the very least, the United States wants to know whether Japan is preparing to attack the Pacific Ocean or to conquer India, which is hanging on the outside.

India here refers to the areas of India controlled by the British government-in-exile, including Burma, Iraq, Iran and other Middle East regions.

"The Americans buy intelligence from us? Want to buy an export car? It's really fresh......" Li Le heard the news, as if he had heard a joke.

Judging from the current relations between Germany and the United States, it is worth considering whether Americans dare to believe the intelligence provided by Germany or not.

It is almost an open secret that the United States has been secretly supporting Britain and the Soviet Union – it is impossible to hide such a large amount of aid.

And Germany is also secretly at odds with Japan, and the United States also knows this very well......

Under such a premise, how can the cooperation between the two sides be established? Li Le felt that he could not understand the thoughts of the Americans.

Ribbentrop disagreed, and reminded: "What the Americans want is that we are willing to trade itself, and it has nothing to do with the truth of the intelligence or the car deal." ”

Hearing this, Li Le felt that he had figured out something. As long as Germany agrees to such a deal, it means that Germany does not intend to go head-to-head with the United States in the short term.
