Although it is an old house built 40 years ago, the facilities inside the hotel are in good condition, and you can see that the daily maintenance work is done quite carefully. The Rose Hotel has two of the most exclusive royal suites, which are only available to VIPs of a certain status, and of course they are quite expensive, with a night's rent equivalent to two months' salary of an average London worker.

The room is decorated in a Victorian British style, with old-fashioned, heavy carved oak furniture, pastel vases with Western porcelain paintings, brass-trimmed chiming bells ticking, tulle curtains with openwork patterns hanging from the window lintels, and delicate lace sewn on linen tablecloths with green flowers.

On the raised beds with bronze bedposts at the four corners, silk sheets as white as snowflakes are laid out, thin blankets with lion coat of arms are neatly stacked in front of pillows, and gauze mosquito nets sway gently in the breeze rolled up by ceiling fans. Every inch of this room is furnished to show the occupants the sophistication of the early industrial age, the unassuming and subtle luxury of the British style.

The previous owner of this room was Randolph, and the orderly who cleaned the room even cleaned up a lot of personal clutter left by the lieutenant colonel, and it was obvious that he was going to return to live here after he was busy with the front. No one had imagined that the Führer would come to this hotel, and the best rooms, of course, would be reserved for the officers of the highest rank.

There are two superior suites, and Randolph's one is in a better state than the other, and theoretically the Führer should certainly stay in the best, there is no need to argue about this question at all.

With the Führer's approval, the orderlies removed the hotel's original bedding. The sanitary conditions of that era were unimaginable to later generations, even some high-end hotels at that time were still flea plague and bed bug swarms. The reason why silk bedding was sought after by the European upper class was not only because of its silky and delicate touch, but also because the silk was so tightly woven that fleas and bed bugs could not survive in it.

Don't think the author is exaggerating, the best goods sold in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century were all kinds of pesticides and lice powder, the poison used to kill Jews in Nazi history "Zyklon B", itself a civilian insecticide sold publicly, can be bought in any community pharmacy in Germany, and the United States Customs used this drug for a while to remove lice and quarantine European immigrants who panned for gold in the New World.

The German Army's individual equipment has special lice removal powder, but the historical German army on the Eastern Front still caused a large number of non-combat attrition due to typhoid fever and other diseases spread by fleas. In fact, even in the 21st century, Europeans are still not free of lice and fleas.

After the orderly prepared the room, Xu Jun and Weierle left the lounge and returned to their respective rooms to rest. As mentioned earlier, the Reich was woken up in the morning, and he was already quite tired after running all the way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you really going to hire that butler? My Führer. Wehrle asked. The general had just finished taking a comfortable shower, and at the moment he was wearing only a set of nightgowns.

"Let's not talk about that, what do you think of this telegram." Xu Jun had also just bathed, wearing the white silk pajamas given by the secretaries.

"Count Stauffenberg... He gave us a problem. Wehrle said, scratching his forehead.

"In any case, we have to be tough and send a clear signal to the Japanese." Xu Jun walked to the round table and sat down, taking a cigar from the humidor.

"I fully agree with your decision, my Führer." The Chief of Staff nodded.

If you don't break them up and make it clear to them, they will add annotations behind your words, and they think they have understood the real thoughts of the other party.

This telegram was received by the Führer when he was taking a shower, because the communication level was relatively high, and it needed to be delivered to the Führer as soon as possible, so when Tysenhofen sent the telegram, Xu Jun was still soaking in the bathtub.

"The fact that Japan had to open up the trade routes from Shanghai to the Nationalist-controlled areas was not for them to bargain with. The assassination of Marshal Brumberg last time and the invasion of the concession have not yet been resolved, does the Japanese cabinet think that it can be so easily fooled? Xu Jun lit his cigar and flicked the matchstick into the ashtray.

"As for the Earl's request, I think it is necessary to deal with it carefully, and it is not a wise thing to overstimulate the nerves of the Japanese." Wehrle took off his monocle and placed it on the table with the telegraph.

"This is not simply a military or diplomatic issue, it should be seen as a political issue. We don't need to care what the Japanese will think, because now Britain and France are waiting to see our attitude on this matter, and the handling of this matter has touched the core foundation of the European Union, and if we do not stand with Britain and France, then what is the point of existence of this alliance. Xu Jun stood up with a cigar in his mouth and began pacing back and forth on the Persian wool carpet in the living room.

"The Japanese want to continue the military blockade of Shanghai on land, and we have no problem with that. But they must guarantee the free passage of European companies on Chinese territory. Let's not forget that the Japanese government has not officially declared war on the Chinese government, and we have every right to operate outside the zone of military conflict. Xu Jun's emotions became a little excited.

At this point in history, because China and Japan did not both declare war, the Japanese government could not openly annex the occupied areas. In order to circumvent the constraints of international law, the Japanese military has installed a number of puppet regimes in China.

These puppet regimes claimed to be local regimes established by the Chinese themselves, and signed treaties with Japan allowing the Japanese government to station troops in areas under their control, thus avoiding the possibility of international interference.

Although the great powers know in their hearts that the Japanese are playing tricks of covering their ears and stealing bells, none of them are willing to stand up and expose these deceptions, and Japan's absolute military superiority in the Asian region has led those countries with interests to choose to sit and wait and wait for new changes to emerge.

Therefore, at present, Shanghai should be under the management of the Chongqing government in a legal sense, and Germany still recognizes the legitimacy of the Chongqing government at this time. The Japanese side claimed that Shanghai was a municipality directly under the Wang puppet regime, but so far, except for a few countries such as Siam, no Western power was willing to recognize the Nanjing regime. But no matter which side is chosen, what is certain is that it is not part of the territory of the Japanese Empire, and Japan does not have the right to rule here.

Therefore, before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the only area actually controlled by Japan in Shanghai was the Japanese Concession, and other urban areas, such as Huxi, were managed by personnel of the Wang puppet regime, and the Japanese military and police could not openly appear in these areas, and at the same time, the British and French concession troops could not cross the border at will.

Historically, because Britain, France, and other countries were caught in the European battlefield, the great powers did not retain much strength in Asia, and as a result, Wang's puppet government relied on the support of the Japanese, and was stunned to suppress the concession authorities to bow their heads to them frequently.

But now that Xu Jun has come to this time, the military power of the European powers in Asia has not declined, but has increased significantly.

The impact of this change will not be seen for a while, but one thing is very clear, that is, the scum of Nanjing Wang's fake vote will have a very difficult time in the future.

PS: Thank you all for your support, the author will continue to work hard.
