Chapter 008: Ribbentrop's Ambition
A day later, Wang Hanzhang arrived in Beijing to meet with Ribbentrop, Ribbentrop has admired Wang Hanzhang for a long time, became an emperor at a young age and saved the world's largest nation in just three years, to avoid becoming a colony of other countries like India, and the people became slaves, of course, this is not the key, the key is that Wang Hanzhang has built the nation into one of the three forces in the world in such a short period of time, and no one in the allies and the Axis countries dares to say that they can easily clean them up, This is what Ribbentrop admires,
"Hello, Your Majesty the Emperor."
"Hello, Mr. Minister." Wang Hanzhang said politely,
"Since ancient times, heroes have been born of young people, and Your Majesty's youth is really enviable and jealous."
"Mr. Minister is not old, and ten years ago he was the foreign minister of the first power in Europe, and he has been standing in the position of minister for many years. Wang Hanzhang said in an inquiring tone,
"Haha." Ribbentrop was a little embarrassed, he didn't know what Wang Hanzhang would say, who doesn't want to be the head of state, how many people in the party are staring at it, Goering, Himmler, etc., and these people have a lot of full strength, Goering controls the air force, Himmler controls the SS, and he is just a foreign minister, it is very difficult to fight without soldiers and power in his hands, unless the Führer retreats behind the scenes and lets him take over,
"Your Majesty laughed, everything is for Germany, I just do what a German should do, and the Führer is just meritocracy."
Ribbentrop is worthy of being a diplomat, and he speaks very well, and a word of meritocracy not only flattered Hitler, said that Hitler was wise, and by the way, he also praised himself, saying that he had talent, even if the opponent heard it, he had nothing to justify, saying that he was immoral and incompetent, that Hitler used him, and valued him so much, wouldn't that mean that Hitler was stupid, such a person would basically be immediately excluded from the core leadership circle, and it was obvious that Hitler's successor would inevitably be elected in this circle, Once out of this circle, it is equivalent to being excluded from the list of candidates for the next head of state,
"Eh,,, Mr. Minister don't be modest, there are a few people that Mr. Hitler has been valued for so many years, Rohm is dead, Haus fled to England before the war and has been detained until now, even if he returns, no one will support him as the next Führer, Mr. Himmler will be very respected at that time, but as far as I know, the Wehrmacht has always disliked the actions of the SS, and he is naturally disgusted with the head of him, Marshal Goering seems to have been lukewarm now, and as far as I know, he has always held the power of the Air Force with hesitation, As a result, many plans and campaigns have been seriously affected, so he is not treated well by the army and navy, and if he wants to take over, I am afraid it will be difficult. ”
"Mr. Minister, on the other hand, is well acquainted with Germany's internal and foreign affairs, has not had any bad relations with the army and any forces in the government, and can be said to be capable and virtuous, and belongs to a person with both ability and political integrity."
"Hehe, Your Majesty, this doesn't seem to be a reason."
Wang Hanzhang said: "In terms of power, Mr. Minister is indeed inferior to Mr. Himmler and Mr. Goering, but their power is comparable, it can be said that they are evenly matched, and he has also offended many people, and if they want to be elected as the next head of state, the other faction will definitely not agree." ”
"In ancient China, if the emperor had no heirs, the one who was elected must not be the most virtuous and powerful, and often the last ones who were elected were those who were not well-known royal children, this is a compromise, and it should be that any faction that fought to the death before did not like their opponents to come to power, otherwise the day they came to power was when they were purged, everyone thought so, so when there was a dispute, everyone would take a compromise approach and choose someone who did not belong to the writing force to serve as the emperor's heir, In this way, we can be impartial and impartial to any of them in the future, and I think no country in the world is exempt from this point. ”
"I make a bold guess that Goering, Himmler and others seem to be powerful, but I am afraid that the successor of the Führer will not be them, and the possibility of them wanting to succeed is very small, but those who are very capable and do not participate in the internal struggle for power are the most promising, such as Mr. Minister is one of them, and for example, the commander of the Navy, Field Marshal Dönitz, as far as I know, he has a very good relationship with Mr. Hitler, and he is only concerned about the war in peacetime."
Ribbentrop looked at Wang Hanzhang in disbelief,
Wang Hanzhang smiled slightly: "Mr. Minister, on conspiracy and conspiracy, we have been playing for five thousand years, and our full strength is always the most attractive, as the supreme leader, I will never like the kind of person who wants to replace him all the time, because it means that these people may seize his power by force at any time, and even kill him, you say that person will like those who want his life at any time, but these people have the ability, so they still have to rely on their ability to serve themselves." ”
"As for the subordinates that the supreme leader really likes, he must be the kind of person who usually works diligently, but never has any attachment to his position, they think that such a person is their most loyal minister, not a speculator, if you have to ask me how I know, I want to say, because I am the supreme leader of a country."
Ribbentrop suddenly realized, but he was silent, even if he wanted to be the Führer, he would not reveal this thought, "Hehe, Your Majesty's idea is really chic, taught. ”
"Huh." Wang Hanzhang said with a smile: "If Mr. Minister really has that day, don't forget to invite me to a glass of wine." ”
"Hehe......" Ribbentrop was inconvenient to answer, so he had to answer with a smirk, not to mention the intention expressed, he found that the greatest result of this visit was not to promote the conclusion of an alliance between China and Germany, but to listen to the voice of a supreme leader, it turned out that those leaders thought so, he always felt that he could not guess Hitler's thoughts, and today he found the answer,
Originally, he only thought about it occasionally, expecting to ascend to the position of head one day, but when he thought of so many forces in the party, each of them was much more powerful than himself, he extinguished his thoughts,
Listening to Wang Hanzhang today, his mind immediately became active, looking for Wang Hanzhang to speak, he is indeed one of the most capable successors, he didn't think that Xiang himself, a seemingly second-tier talent, is the most likely successor.
It seems that he will behave well in the future, Ribbentrop secretly cheered himself up,
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I have come this time for the sake of our alliance between Germany and the Three Kingdoms of China, and our head of state is very much interested in concluding an alliance with your country."
"Oh, as long as your country forms an alliance with China, we Qin and Dali will not participate in the alliance."
"Oh, why, if we form an alliance with the four countries, then our power will be even greater, and we can rely on each other to avoid being bullied by our allies."
"Hehe, my country and Dali are south of the Indochina Peninsula, Japan is in the east, India is in the west, and the allies are not bordered, our alliance is not good for everyone, in addition, Qin and Japan and India have entanglements of interests, relying on the strength of Qin alone can not deal with Japan and India, so Qin needs Dali's help."
"The task of Qin and Dali is to watch Japan and India, lest they make trouble, or even join the allies, which is very unfavorable to us, just imagine if Qin and Dali send troops out to fight against the United States and other allies, what if India and Japan attack, so only if we do not participate in the world war, India and Japan will be more stable, at least dare not act rashly."
"In addition, if Qin and Dali join the Axis powers, then India and Japan will feel more threatened, they are likely to join the allies, India is not important, but Japan's power should not be underestimated, they occupy Australia and Southeast Asia's huge islands, the naval power can be regarded as the second in the world, he can come to attack us, but Huaxia can not effectively attack them, in case he joins the allies, then there are more advanced weapons from the United States to support them, and then we will not be defeated, I don't know how much power I'm going to lose. ”
"Therefore, it is better to keep the current situation, we have been quietly staying here, not aligned, not participating in the world war, Japan and the United States have a gap, there is a gap between them, and we have no mortal threat to him, I believe they can also quietly sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."
Ribbentrop said, "I'm afraid Japan won't believe you." ”
"Of course, after all, there are a lot of unpleasantness between the two countries, but Japan needs a lot of time and money and materials to digest those places, and this is the reason why he is doing a lot of trade with us now, otherwise he will not know that this is an act of capital and enemy, for Japan, at present, the Japanese in the Japanese archipelago will be moved to Australia and other places, and the establishment of a sound industry in Australia and other places is the primary task, otherwise once the war starts, the Japanese archipelago will be under the bombing of the Chinese Air Force, and only Australia can avoid this situation today, They went to Australia not only to defend against China but also against the United States, after all, there are abundant resources, far from everyone's plane bombing, as long as we don't over-provoke Japan, Japan will not easily start a war in vain. ”
"Your Majesty, I have been to Japan once, and the people there are very fanatical and short-sighted, and there is no strategy to speak of, so they may not see so far."
"It was true before, I also thought so, but from the moment the Japanese army withdrew from China, I knew that I was wrong, Japan also has capable people, if they start a war against China at this time, even if the United States strongly supports him, he can only add some losses to China, he has no possibility of victory, but will be destroyed because of this, and the Americans will definitely stick a knife in the back in the end."
