.Government Notices:

On the night of 13 May, the Imperial Air Force concentrated more than 1,000 bombers in the Far East to intensively bomb Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Kawasaki in Japan, and as a retaliation for the large-scale terrorist and sabotage operations sent by the Japanese Government to carry out terrorist sabotage in Germany, the Luftwaffe partially used chemical bombs in the bombing of Osaka, Nagoya, and Kawasaki, and all the damage caused by the bombing, including inhumane damage, should be borne by the Japanese Government.

In addition, if the Japanese government continues to cause explosions, arson, poisoning, kidnapping, and other sabotage incidents in Germany, the Luftwaffe will not rule out the use of chemical bombs against Tokyo!

On May 15, 1929, the German Imperial Government's 1,000-ton bomb of mustard and Lewis gas destroyed the city of Osaka far more than it actually was, as more than 3,100 people died in a single day because of chaos, trampling, and improper treatment; More than 200,000 people have been contaminated by the gas, including ordinary citizens, military personnel, medical personnel and a very small number of foreigners, and at least 30,000 of them will endure the pain of blindness forever. These statistics continue to expand over time, and according to rough estimates, Osaka's economic capacity will be reduced by one-third, and the psychological shadow of chemical bombing will be difficult to erase in the next decade.

Potsdam, Germany.

Surrounded by the Elbe, Havre and numerous lakes and forests, Berlin has become the irreplaceable political and economic center of Germany since the founding of the German Empire, and Potsdam, a small city more than 20 kilometers west of Berlin, has become a leisure mecca, where most of Berlin's dignitaries have their own villas, including members of the royal family. Despite being called one of the greatest monarchs in German history, Gianlug, Wilhelm III did not splurge on the construction of a new palace, but instead made Sanssouci Palace, one of the Prussian royal possessions, his summer palace in Potsdam.

Although the actual summer had not yet arrived, after the busiest month, Tatsuten moved to the beautiful city of Potsdam with a retinue of cronies, where he signed the aforementioned proclamation against Japan. Therefore. This proclamation is also known as the Potsdam Proclamation by some historians, but the name is not important, but the significance of this proclamation is extraordinary - as early as 1899 and 1907, the two international conferences in The Hague, people adopted a document prohibiting the use of poisonous gases in warfare, although this document did not play any practical role in the subsequent war, but no country explicitly announced that it would use poison gas, and the use of chemical weapons was usually used in a low-key or even secret situation. Now, Germany's government announcement is undoubtedly declaring that it will use chemical weapons legally and reasonably. Despite the skepticism and criticism of the International Committee of the Red Cross and pacifists, the reason for this proclamation is obvious and defensible – retaliatory acts.

The air in Potsdam is fresh and full of natural smells, and after waking up in the morning to read a newspaper and drink on a rattan chair on the balcony, it is definitely a very pleasant city for busy people, and the beautiful scenery here and here is incomparable to the hustle and bustle of Berlin.

"Your Majesty, the King of Britain and his entourage have arrived at Potsdam Station in 45 minutes, we have set up according to the highest standard of etiquette, and your car is ready!"

"Oh! Sure enough, it was on time! Chen Tian put down the newspaper casually, and it was obviously not interesting to read the newspapers and periodicals of the government newspaper, so he chose a local newspaper that was not mainstream. Yet almost half of today's content is related to that government announcement. It seems that there was a great deal of interest in this novelty, and after hundreds of Germans were killed in the Japanese terrorist attacks, the German population did not have much sympathy for the tragedy in Osaka. Many people have a deserving and refreshing mentality.

Of course, in a not-so-obscure corner of the last page of the newspaper, an article from pacifists still expressed cautious doubts about Germany's chemical warfare policy, and the tone of the article seemed reasonable, but as a "person who has come over", Chen Tian knows better than these so-called pacifists under what circumstances the Japanese government will abandon the war, which is obviously not something that can be achieved by defeating the Japanese main fleet and overseas corps.

Chen Tian walked into the room to change clothes in a hurry, and he was familiar with it, but Ruprecht was the king of a country after all, and it was also the proper etiquette for Chen Tian to go to the train station to greet him. Fortunately, Potsdam is a small city, and it doesn't take much time to get to the train station from Sanssouci Palace.

"Where's our little princess?"

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the information we have just received, Her Royal Highness left Vienna an hour ago and will be able to arrive in Potsdam this afternoon!" The attendant replied truthfully.

"Well, I don't know if our little princess likes Mitchell or not! It stands to reason that they have known each other since childhood, so they should know each other enough! Although there were several old attendants in front of Chen Tian, his words were obviously mostly self-talking. Judging from the current European pattern, the marriage between Germany and Britain is undoubtedly the best choice. Of course, this marriage was not as politically charged as it had been in the past, because there was no subordination or difference of interest between Germany and the Kingdom of Britain, and this status quo would not change for at least a few generations. Considering the traditional nature of marriage in the German royal family, Sasha basically will not marry anyone other than a member of the European royal family, and there is still a lot of resistance to civilian marriage in the current German royal family. From the perspective of Sasha's happiness, the person who knows the roots and has a close family relationship is of course the best.

"Your Majesty, Mitchell should be a good king and leader, although there is still a distance from His Majesty, but his calmness and wisdom are beyond doubt!" It was Jonalet, Chentian's most trusted attendant, who had been tasked with examining the candidates since Sasha's marriage had been on the agenda, and had been given the task of examining the various royal customs and etiquette.

"Well, I know that!" Chen Tian nodded, except for a few stupid guys, most of the crown princes will show themselves well before ascending the throne, as for their true temperament, I am afraid that they will not gradually show up until after they ascend the throne - tyrants often attack after ascending the throne. Of course, the other party's personality can also be inferred through some casual little things, and at least in the current situation, Albrechette Louis Porter Ferdinand Mitchell's demeanor, politeness and maturity have received a score of 85 points here in Chentian, which is quite good for a 24-year-old young man. 99Na: "That's right. Your Majesty, the Dutch side has informed us that the Queen and her entourage have decided to fly on their own plane, and their plans remain unchanged, and they will arrive in Potsdam tomorrow morning! Jonah Wright reminded.

"Oh, well! Inform the Ministry of the Air Force that a squadron of fighters will be sent tomorrow to escort the Queen of the Netherlands' landline! Remind them that this is not a demonstration. It's a ceremonial escort! ”

After changing clothes, Chen Tian walked towards the door with the hilt of his saber in hand, he never liked to spend too much time changing clothes, if it weren't for the red tape of the royal family, he should have dressed faster. Because he was going to greet the monarch of the allied countries, he wore a dress with white as the main color today, a classical round hat with white feathers, and the style of his clothes and trousers was still the military dress of the German Army.

Half an hour later. Potsdam Railway Station. There are no scenes of people in Haiti, there are no countless flowers and small flags, and they are slightly heavily guarded. The highest-standard military band and honor guards, coupled with the warm spring sun, both sides seemed very satisfied.

It's only been a few months since the last meeting, Mitchell's impression of Chen Tiandi has not changed much, his body shape is similar to Ruprecht, slender and slightly thin at the same time, according to the royal family's data, he is 1.86 meters tall and 74 kilograms in weight, but as a member of the Bavarian royal family, Mitchell doesn't seem to have much to do with handsomeness, and his sharp eyes are slightly sunken. The long period of life in the barracks gave him a bit of rough skin, which is also common to most German male aristocrats.

Different from the blonde prince in people's impressions, Mitchell has soft and slightly curly brown hair, and a khaki British Army standard uniform makes him look a little more military, for a British crown prince, the rank of lieutenant on the shoulder is somewhat unexpected, and obtaining a military rank by accumulating military merit rather than nobility adds a good impression to Chentian.

"His Majesty Robert I has laid down his busy official duties to come here, and I am really afraid to do so!" Chen Tian smiled and whispered.

"Oh, His Majesty William III is the real man of the day. It's not worth mentioning at this point! Ruprecht said this with a serious attitude.

After a few moments, the two laughed knowingly, a simple, uninteresting, and not at all funny joke, but it showed the relationship between the two.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Tian quietly glanced at Mitchell beside Ruprecht, he did not relax because of the laughter between the two, and still stood aside seriously, and waited until Chen Tian and Ruprecht ended the beginning of the greetings, and then he stepped forward to walk the aristocratic salute.

"To His Majesty the Honorable Kaiser of Germany, I pay my highest respect!"

Chen Tian nodded with satisfaction, it was not a secret that Mitchell was interested in Sasha, as far as the Ruprecht family was concerned, this marriage would undoubtedly greatly improve their status. For Germany, this was not enough to erase the long-standing hatred between them and the British, but it was enough to be a good start of great significance.

However, the final decision is not in the hands of Chentian and Ruprecht, nor is it decided by the Germans or Britons, Chentian never wants to see his daughter's lifelong happiness become a victim of politics, he has already discussed with Ruprecht, if Sasha is really unwilling to marry Mitchell, they will not force it.

"Thank you! I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just returned from Australia? The war is going well there! Chen Tian greeted him routinely, if you want to talk about the battle situation in Oceania, Mitchell is probably not much more familiar than Chen Tian.

"Yes, the morale of the soldiers is high, the Japanese army can only hold a few important strongholds, and it is only a matter of time before the whole of Australia is recovered!" Mitchell said neither humbly nor arrogantly, there was no pride in his tone, and at the end he did not forget to praise the German ** team that participated in the battle together, "Your Majesty's army has opened our eyes, the combat effectiveness of the army, navy and air force is at a super-first-class level, it can be said that the progress of the war in Oceania is inseparable from Your Majesty's generous support!" ”

Chen Tian laughed when he heard it, after all, he was born in a royal family, and the compliment was just right.

"In which unit is Your Highness currently serving in?"

"Back to Your Majesty, he served in the 3rd British Guards Division before the next war, and then joined the Union Army as a volunteer, and is currently the deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Armored Regiment directly under the 1st Infantry Corps of the Alliance!"

Chen Tian glanced at Ruprecht with some surprise, and sent his son to serve in the front-line combat unit, which is not only the tradition of the German royal family and nobles, but also a manifestation of high hopes, of course, the existence of the third son and the fourth son also gave him more choices, compared to Chen Tian, he did not dare to take such a risk.

"Oh, the 1st Army of the Alliance, that is the Iron Army that performed well in the New Zealand Landing Campaign, the Melbourne Landing Campaign, and the Battle of Canberra!" Chen Tian pretended to be surprised and praised that compared with the Japanese army, the average combat effectiveness of the coalition army was not occupied, and only the 1st, 2nd and 6th armies, the main force of the alliance, were outstanding.

Mitchell smiled and said: "Your Majesty has won the award, compared with the accompanying German Army, our troops need to be further improved!" ”

Chen Tian was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Ruprecht in a low voice: "Hey, man, are you looking at your future son-in-law?" Rest assured, our Mitchell is one of the best young people in Europe! ”

"Ahem, real gold is not afraid of fire refining!" Chen Tian pretended to be serious and said, in fact, he knew enough about Mitchell's side, and now it was just to add some intimacy.

"Hey, how are you preparing for your own business? I heard that the Queen of the Netherlands and her entourage will also come to Potsdam in the near future? ”

"Uh-huh, very well-informed!" Chen Tian glanced at him, "Tomorrow!" ”

"Oh, I see! To be honest, why did you suddenly open your mind this time? Ruprecht deliberately approached Chentian, and to outsiders, it seemed that the two monarchs were discussing a very important national event.

"Enlightenment?" Chen Tian smiled and shook his head, "There are some things that can be met but not sought, besides, I don't know if people are willing to do it yet?" ”

"Don't want to?" Ruprecht suddenly raised the volume in two sections, "That's absolutely impossible!" ”
