PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

In the luxurious, artsy lobby café of the Hôtel de la Crane de la Crane Geneva, Hersmann is drinking coffee with two amateur painters with Austrian accents. One of the two amateur painters was the current Chancellor of the German Empire, Adolf. Hitler. Another amateur painter who went further than Hitler in the field of painting, graduated from the art department of the University of Krakow, was good at figure and landscape painting, and was famous for a while, but eventually gave up the artistic rice - this bowl of rice was really not delicious - and became the dictator-in-waiting. Rez. Khimigwi, the successor of the Polish dictator Pilsudski, Deputy Minister of Defense of Poland (Poland is the most gunshot, Pilsudski is not the president, but the Minister of Defense, the Chief Inspector and the Chairman of the War Commission).

He was the head of the delegation of the Polish Confederation to Geneva to the International Conference on Disarmament. They also "coincidentally" lived in the same hotel as Hitler, and both were "Austro-Hungarian natives" and considered themselves painters, so they had a lot in common.

"I'm not like him," said Hitler, who had been talking so merrily with the Polish dictator-in-waiting, suddenly raising his hand and pointing at Hersmann, as if half-jokingly, "he was a Juncker count, born in Rustburg, East Prussia, near Russia, with a cold climate and little scenery, and I was born in Austria, which was pleasantly landscaped." So in our treatment of art and the Polish Confederation, Lieutenant General Hersmann and I were different. ”

Contrary to what many later generations thought, Hitler was not the Germans who hated Poland the most, in fact he did not hate Poland very much - in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s, it was Junckers like Hersmann who hated Poles the most. Because their homeland is East Prussia, West Prussia and Posen. And now, both West Prussia and Posen are occupied by Poland. Many of the lands of the Junker nobility were seized by the Poles, and some of their countrymen and relatives were bullied by the Poles.

Therefore, the Junker officer corps was extremely disgusted with Poland, and was even willing to unite with the Soviet Union in order to destroy Poland. The success of the Soviet Union presided over by Hersmann was inseparable from the support of these Junckers, who hated Poland.

Of course, it was the same in the Soviet Union, and Comrade Lenin's testament "White Poland must be destroyed" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And after Hitler's Nazi Party came to power. Germany's diplomatic course began a series of adjustments.

First, relations with the Soviet Union began to gradually cool. Although many projects of economic and military cooperation between the two sides continued, since the Nazis came to power, the two sides have not reached any new agreements on aviation technical cooperation and technology transfer - aviation technical cooperation has been the focus of Soviet-German cooperation in the past, and in the past few years the two sides have signed several large orders related to the aviation industry in the first quarter of each year, which has almost become customary.

Second, the German government began to seek to improve relations with Britain. While previous German governments were doing the same thing, it was only a tactical arrangement to improve Germany's situation. No matter how loud the slogans of "the European Community" and "European Bank" are shouted. None of the Weimar Republic's governments before Hitler's government saw the United Kingdom as a strategy. But Adolf. Hitler clearly wanted to replace the "United Soviet" with "United Britain" -- Hersmann knew that Hitler's friendship with Britain must have been sincere!

Finally, relations between Germany and Poland were quietly improving. On the one hand, Hitler, who was born and raised in Austria, did not have the same affection for West Prussia and Posen as the Junker officers - on the contrary, he had a "feeling" for the Czech Republic, the center of Austria-Hungary industry, in which Hitler's plan for a united German empire would have to include the Czech Republic, and Poland would not have to perish.

On the other hand. After Germany succeeded in restoring compulsory military service beyond the limits of the Treaty of Versailles, Polish dictator Pilsudski realized that Poland could not rely on the "Iron Triangle" alliance with France and Czechoslovakia against the Soviet Union. Therefore, he began to look for opportunities to improve relations with Germany. This is the "café meeting" between Shimigvi and Hitler today.

"Mr. Prime Minister. Most of the German people will not forget West Prussia! Hersman gently put down the coffee cup in his hand and said in a rather serious tone, "I don't think most of the Soviet people will forget about right-bank Ukraine either!" ”

Hersmann and Hitler had a disagreement on the Polish question, but now they were working together, with Hirschmann playing the villain and Hitler pretending to be the good guy.

"I don't think the majority of the German people will forget the painful lessons of the world war, right?" The tone of the Polish Deputy Minister of Defense instantly became cold and gloomy.

"Soviet-German confrontation with Poland, France and the Czechs......" Hersman smiled. What a combination! ”

If they can really play according to this combination, Britain and the United States will not be able to win anyway. But Hersmann was very skeptical about how long the Soviet-German friendship would last - Stalin had not yet recognized Germany as a socialist country!

It seems that there is some truth to Natalie's point of view, if Stalin is the Pope, and German National Socialism is probably the Church of Constantinople or Lutheran Protestantism. Although they are all Jesus. Followers of Christ, but they are not at peace with each other.

"But most of the German people are reluctant to fight." Hitler waved his arm vigorously, "No one wants a world war, and the lessons of 1914 and 1918 are too deep for anyone to want to do it again." So Germany will not ally with the USSR against Poland, as long as I am the German Chancellor! ”

He stared at the Polish Deputy Minister of Defense for a moment, and then said in a solemn tone: "Of course, we must reach a mutually acceptable agreement on the border issue, and only in this way can Poland and Germany become enemies permanently." ”

Hitler probably really wanted to avoid a world war!

Hersmann knew that Hitler was also sincere about Poland. As long as the Free City of Danzig could join Germany - and it was a matter of course, the vast majority of the more than 300,000 inhabitants of the Free City of Danzig were Germans - and at the same time assign the small "Polish corridor" connecting Danzig to Germany proper, or as a Polish-German "common territory", then he would be willing to form an alliance with Poland!

"I'm not very demanding!" Adolph. Hitler looked at Hersmann, and then said to Himigvi, "The city of Danzig is returned to Germany, which, according to the principle of 'national self-determination', is in any case German, and it is not now the territory of the Polish Confederation!" Then the Polish corridor could exist as a common territory for both the Polish and German sides. ”

Hitler's demands were really not excessive, and what the Polish Confederation had to lose was very limited. But they can get a strong ally, and they can rest easy on their national security in the future.

Edward. Rez. Himigvi was silent, his face expressionless, and after a long while, he nodded and said, "Mr. Hitler, I can tell His Excellency the First Marshal (referring to Pilsudski) your terms." In addition, His Excellency the First Marshal had a request that Poland and Germany be jointly declared a non-aggression declaration before the Danzig question could be settled. ”

"It can be considered that there should be such a declaration between our two countries!" Hitler gave a satisfactory reply, and the "café meeting" ended there.

After bidding farewell to the Poles, Hitler looked at Hersmann with a hint of relief. "Do you think there will be a world war in the future?"

"Adolf, I don't believe that Britain will stand idly by watching us rise and be indifferent, otherwise the last world war would not have started."

"Alright, let's see." Hitler stood up and walked with Hersmann to his suite. "Although you don't believe it, I am still sure that without a war, at least without a world war, I will complete the merger with Austria and the Baltics, and recover Bohemia and Danzig!"

At present, Germany has about 480,000 square kilometers, the Baltic Republic has about 110,000 square kilometers, the Republic of Austria has more than 80,000 square kilometers, and Czechoslovakia has more than 120,000 square kilometers and almost 130,000 square kilometers -- if only the Czech Republic is taken, it will have nearly 80,000 square kilometers, and if you add the free city of Danzig, Germany's territory will be almost 800,000 square kilometers. And the population should be more than 80 million, close to 90 million.

In a Europe full of small countries, such a Germany is a huge thing – and it is hard to imagine what the European Union would be like if Germany of this size could exist into the 21st century and still have National Socialist ideas.

"Of course, I hope so." "After all, there are risks in fighting a world war, and if you lose, someone like me won't end well." ”

As the two men spoke, they had already ascended from a special elevator to the third floor of the Dela's White Crane Hotel, the entire third floor of which had been taken down by the German government. Chloe was standing outside the elevator door at this time, and when she saw Hersmann and Hitler coming out, she smiled and stepped forward to tell them, "Mr. Einstein, Mr. Weizmann, and Mr. Gurion have arrived, in room 308." ”

The three Zionists arrived in Geneva a week earlier. At the recent Zionist Congress, a resolution was adopted to establish a "provisional State of Israel".

This means that Zionism has agreed to cooperate with Germany - as Ben. As Gurion said, Zionism walks on the strands of hair, there is not much choice, any force that can support them, even the Nazis, must fight for it.

However, the three Zionist bigwigs who arrived in Geneva did not immediately go to meet Hitler and Hersmann, they were still waiting. After learning about Hitler and Arthur. Henderson's meeting was followed before he decided to formally meet with Hitler.
