"Are we going to support Italy in the League of Nations to turn Abynesia into a colony?" On the special train from Warsaw to Berlin, German Foreign Minister Niu Wright disputed the verbal agreement reached between Hersmann and Mussolini.

"This would make Germany the target of international public opinion, and I doubt that the Soviet Union will support us on this issue."

Hersman shook his head, "No, we can't support the Italian colonization of Abynesia...... All we want to push for is a resolution for Abynesia to pay reparations to Italy and to limit the Abynesian armed forces. This is beneficial to the people of Abynesia, because Haier. Emperor Selassie could not be a dictatorship without an army, and Abynesia would have become a democracy. I think these can also be included in the resolutions of the League of Nations. ”

What is the rationale for a dictatorship to become a democracy if he does not have enough troops to sustain his rule?

Hesman paused, then added: "We should also express our unequivocal opposition to Italy's attempt to colonize Abynesia. Moreover, we should also take a clear stand against colonialism. ”

"Against colonialism?" Adolf, who was looking through the draft of the German-Austrian Agreement of Amity and Mutual Assistance, was looking through the draft of the German-Austrian Agreement of Friendship and Mutual Assistance. Hitler suddenly raised his head, "Ludwig, this is the theory of the Bolsheviks!" ”

"Mr. Chancellor," Hersman said to Hitler, "although we and the Bolsheviks were opposed to colonialism, our positions were different. The Bolsheviks opposed colonialism in the interests of the colonial nations. Our National Socialism, on the other hand, proceeded from the interests of the European peoples and opposed colonialism. ”

"In the interests of the peoples of Europe?" Adolph. As if he had heard some joke, Hitler said, "It is in the interests of the people of Europe to obtain raw materials and markets from the underdeveloped continents." ”

"It's available through trade," Hirschman shrugged, spreading his hands, "and not all underdeveloped regions." There are abundant and cheap resources and a huge market waiting for us. Abinesia, for example, has nothing good, otherwise it would have been occupied long ago. ”

He shook his head, "Actually, I'm sympathizing with the Italians, not the Abenisians...... Those fools are still cheering for Mussolini's stupid policy, they simply do not know how much Italy will pay for Abynesia in the future. ”

Historically, Mussolini lost the World War, otherwise the Italians would have had to continue to throw lira into the bottomless pit of Abinesia...... This is a complete act of foolishness!

"So we Germany can't. You shouldn't do something stupid! ”

Hersman smiled and said, "While we support Italy in the League of Nations, we should make clear to the world that we are 'Europe first, against colonization.'" Europeans should first manage their own affairs and build and unite Europe well, which is the key to Europe's leadership in the world. For the colonies on the continent outside Europe, the 'ownerless' might as well treat them as a second Europe, a third Europe, and the 'owner' should let them make their own decisions, and Europe should provide limited help and guidance in exchange for a certain degree of market openness. ”

He speaks of "having a master" and "not having an owner." It refers to the situation of the indigenous peoples. Colonies such as Canada and Australia, where there were few or had been wiped out, could become a second or third Europe. But be careful not to let it become a second America, a third America......

In places such as India, the Middle East, and the South Seas, where there are dozens or hundreds of times more indigenous people than the local Europeans, there is no need to establish direct rule.

Abynesia is such a dilapidated place, with limited resources, barren land, low development value, and many indigenous people. The degree of development is not low. It is more difficult to conquer, and it is not only oil and water that is conquered. You have to spend money on development and construction.

"Such an anti-colonial......" Adolf. Hitler rolled his eyelids, "Then should we issue some kind of white paper or manifesto to tell the world about this anti-colonial stance?" ”

"Of course," says Hersmann, "we must now make clear Germany's position: Europe first, national self-determination and opposition to colonialism." ”

Hersmann had carefully thought about the art of "packaging" the two imperialists of the United States, imperialism and the Soviet Union, so he also wanted to "package" Germany. The people of the world must not be allowed to regard Germany as some kind of fascist aggressor.

Moreover, Hersmann felt that Germany in this time and space was not an aggressor in the first place, but a progressive force capable of leading Europe and the world.

"I can understand that it is the first in Europe, and that is also a must!" Adolph. Hitler said, "Europe is the homeland of the Aryan nation." It is sacred land. ”

Of course, Hitler's ideas included the "theory of the superiority of the Aryan nation," but under the influence of the Army Policy Council and the National Socialist International, two "sources of national socialist thought," racism in Germany was not as serious as it was in history.

"As for the ...... of national self-determination," Hitler looked at Hersmann.

"All European Germans should live in one country, but that can only be achieved through a referendum." "Germany can use force only if the referendum cannot be held, or if the results of the referendum cannot be enforced," Hersmann said. ”

This is called "the division is famous", and you can't fight indiscriminately, which will make Germany's allies insecure. Moreover, it will be difficult to govern a large number of Slavic lands in the future, so it is better to raise some agents to rule.

"So how to solve the living space of the Germanic people?" Hitler immediately asked, "There are now 80 million to 85 million people, and this number will exceed 100 million sooner or later, and the living space we have is simply not enough!" ”

"The British have a good Canadian Dominion, and after we defeat the British, we can form a 'German-speaking Canada' there."

"In addition, we can take Lithuania after defeating Poland, and the Czech Republic will become part of Germany, plus Austria, the Baltics, the city of Danzig and the Danzig corridor, Alsace and Lorraine, Luxembourg, and some parts of Belgium (Hersmann wants to take Wallonia)...... That would allow us to have more than 800,000 square kilometers of land area.

If possible, I would also like to take Switzerland, but that would depend on the will of the Swiss people (a referendum). If they are willing to join, then Geneva, Switzerland, can become the capital of the future European Community. ”

In fact, Hersmann did not think that Germany itself did not need to be too big, and that 850,000 to 900,000 square kilometers would be enough - it was the core and richest land in Europe, and it could become the center of Europe.

Such a Germany, more than 500,000 square kilometers larger than the historic unified Federal Republic of Germany, and with a population of hopefully 100 million, is enough to become a strong nucleus of the future European Union.

"And what about Russian lands?" Hitler was still a little unwilling, "Rich Ukraine and Transcaucasian oil, isn't that exactly what we need?" ”

"The Soviet Union was a very difficult opponent to beat!" Hersman squinted, "If one day we have to go to war with the Soviet Union, then we should also try to win over the forces against the Bolsheviks." The Ukrainians and Cossacks, perhaps, were such forces. In return, they should have their own independent state...... But I don't want that day. ”

"They may not be as powerful as you think," Adolf said. Hitler shook his head, "Ludwig, do you know the 'Kirov Law'?" ”

The so-called "Kirov Law" refers to the following amendments to the Criminal Code of the USSR after the assassination of the Secretary of the Leningrad Province W, a member of the Political Z Bureau, and the Secretary of the Central Y Kirov:

First, the judicial authorities shall expedite the trial of prisoners accused of planning or committing terrorist acts. Investigation of cases of terrorist activities must not exceed 10 days.

Secondly, the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR will not consider the application for pardon of such criminals. Once a judgment has been rendered, it cannot be appealed or pardoned.

Thirdly, the NKVD shall carry out such offenders as soon as they are sentenced to death.

After the introduction of the "Kirov Law", mass arrests and executions began to take place on the territory of the Soviet Union. As the closest friend of the Soviet Union, Germany naturally knew more about the interior of the Soviet Union than other countries, and Hitler began to look down on the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Union.

However, the "Great Purge" has only just begun, and only a few hundred thousand people have been arrested, most of whom can have a little connection with the "Kirov assassination". This level of arrest was far from damaging the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army.

And Mikhail, who was the Minister of Equipment of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Soviet Union and Deputy People's Commissar of Defense. Nikolaevich. Tukhachevsky also did not expect that he would become a sinner of the state two years later.

In fact, even Stalin did not think of eradicating the most outstanding general of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army at this time...... Although Tukhachevsky was once Trotsky's old subordinate.

"Mikhail. Nikolayevich, "inside the Kremlin, Stalin affectionately called Tukhachevsky's name," have you read the documents sent by the Germans? ”

"Comrade General Secretary, I have read it several times." Tukhachevsky's brow furrowed. Unlike most of the Red Army's "group army commanders" (at this time the Soviet Union did not implement a military rank system, and the size of officers was defined according to a certain rank), Tukhachevsky was not born as a political worker, but as a professional soldier, and his military skills were very solid. Therefore, after reading the "Summary Report of the "Iron Fist-1935" military exercises, I immediately discovered the shortcomings of the Soviet Red Army. (To be continued.) )
