The train roared past the tracks, and the golden light of the slanting sun passed through the curtains, dancing the light and shadow of time, changing and undulating, and you could really feel the traces of the passing of time.

In the north of France in spring, the warm breeze and the sun are warm, and through the train window, under the pure blue sky and white clouds, you can often see rustic cottages, as well as flowers and young grass everywhere, and occasionally you can smell a faint earthy aroma from the air.

This kind of afternoon is perfect for a break.

However, few of the Germans on this train took a nap, and the German delegation took this train to Paris to negotiate a peace treaty.

The delegation represented the whole of Germany, and representatives from all walks of life were selected to negotiate, mainly led by Foreign Minister Miller and Justice Minister Baer, and the delegation composed of famous German sociologists, political scientists, economists, philosophers Max Weber, Karl Rapp, founder of the Bacun Motor Manufacturing Plant (BMW), a representative of the military industry, Chachoff, deputy general manager of Deutsche Bank in the financial field, and Hitler, who represented the military.

Originally, the military was reluctant to send people to Paris, because the military did not admit that it was the army that caused the defeat of the world war, and put all the blame on the government, even if the army was defeated, it must retain its dignity and be independent of the country, for which Hitler and Hindenburg had a big quarrel, Hitler said that Hindenburg did not think about the interests of the country, and only cared about the hypocrites of dignity, and Hindenburg said that Hitler commanded emotionally, made decisions without considering the consequences, and after going to Paris, his personal future would be ruined, and Hitler should think clearly.

Yes, Hitler would have been one of the signatories of the humiliating peace treaty, so what would the people think of him?

Historically, Li Hongzhang was a minister of rejuvenation, but out of political considerations, he signed a series of unequal treaties, which were criticized by later generations.

Hitler didn't think about it so much, he just felt that he wanted to tell the Entente not to think that the Germans were so easy to bully, after all, he had invaded Paris twice, and their defeat was not due to military reasons, but to internal reasons.

Later, at the near-pleading request of Chancellor Albert, the military, represented by Hindenburg, finally agreed to Hitler's trip to Paris.

The members of the delegation to Paris to sign the contract were familiar with Hitler, Foreign Minister Miller and Justice Minister Bell, whom he had met several times at previous banquets, both of whom were loyal Germans and devoted themselves to their country.

Karl Rapp was the owner of the Bacun Motor Factory, which had cooperated with the Hillemel Company, and the Bacun Motor Factory was short of funds when it was researching and manufacturing the star engine, and was funded by Hitler's economic steward Ginter, and now the Bacun Motor Factory also has a small number of Hitler's shares. Originally, Krupp Company, as Germany's largest arms company, should have sent people to participate in peace talks, but when the armistice agreement was signed, the boss of Krupp Company was designated as a war criminal, and Krupp Company naturally did not send people.

As the largest bank in Germany and one of the world's top five banks, Deutsche Bank has also cooperated with several of Hitler's companies before, and Hitler and Deutsche Bank's senior officials and shareholders know each other, plus Deutsche Bank's deputy general manager Chaekhoff is one of Victor's contacts introduced to Hitler, so the relationship between Chaekhoff and Hitler is not only a friend, but also a relationship of mutual use.

The only person Hitler was not familiar with was Max Weber, who was only known as a professor at the University of Berlin, a government adviser, and a very well-known academic figure in Germany. In addition to some government officials, the rest were 50 soldiers of the Berlin Regiment with the rank of non-commissioned officer and above, including the regiment's chief of staff Wei Klishi, the deputy commander of the 1st Battalion, Schellner, the deputy commander of the 2nd Battalion, Gothhard Heinrich, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, Rommel, and Halder, Paulus, Steiner, Manniu, Wallenstein, Dunnis, and others.

Deputy Regiment Commander Kleist, 1st Battalion Commander Brauchitsch, 2nd Battalion Commander Manstein, and 3rd Battalion Deputy Commander Kluge did not participate in the operation, firstly because the Berlin regiment needed to be left behind, and secondly, because they could not participate due to their personal factors.

Kleist's great-grandfather was once an official and a marshal, and he served in the army for generations. Brauchitsch's father was a cavalry general and a prominent family. Kluger's father was once a lieutenant general and was of aristocratic origin.

Manstein's father was a general, his two grandfathers and uncle were both generals, and the current Field Marshal Hindenburg was his uncle, and he had a strict family education.

When they heard that the Berlin regiment was going to Paris to sign a peace treaty of defeat, these noble generals knew that their children were also in the Berlin regiment, and they contacted Hitler in different ways and asked their children not to go to Paris, Hitler understood this, these noble generals regarded glory as their lives, and it was unacceptable to let their children participate in a peace treaty that would represent shame, anyway, the Berlin regiment also needed officers to stay behind, so Hitler was voluntary, and it didn't matter if he wanted to go, and it didn't matter if he didn't want to go.

"What? We don't go to Versailles? ”

It had been nearly three or four months since the armistice, and French traffic had been almost restored, and the delegation was soon on a train from Germany to Paris, the capital of France.

"Yes, this is the notice given to us by the Armistice Commission, we have arranged a villa for you in the suburbs, where do you live temporarily."

The French official who came to receive them was called Romondou, an official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the French government.

German Foreign Minister Müller frowned and said: "I heard that the peace conference has been held at Versailles, why don't we go directly to Versailles?" ”

Lomonou shrugged: "I'm sorry, you have to wait for notice to go to Versailles, the rest has nothing to say, let's go, I'll take you to where you live." ”

"But we, as a party to the war, should participate in the Versailles to make a peace treaty." Miller questioned.

"This is in France, please obey the arrangement of our government, okay?" Romónou is tall, which makes him feel a little domineering when he speaks.

When the group left the train station, several cars drove over, and these cars could only seat about ten people, but with the Berlin delegation, the German delegation totaled more than 70 people, and Miller said: "Can you call a few more trucks, we have dozens of people." ”

Luo Monou said: "A diplomatic delegation also brought dozens of people, and they are not here to travel, what are so many people doing here, anyway, our treatment is like this, there are only a few cars, if you want to sit, you can sit, and if you don't want to sit, you can walk." ”

Lomono's arrogant attitude angered many Germans, and Rapp stepped forward to reason with him, but Foreign Minister Miller stopped him and whispered to Rapp: "Forget it, it is irrational for us to start a conflict with someone else as soon as we set foot on French soil." ”

Hitler also suppressed his anger and said aloud to the crowd: "You take the car, the convoy runs to keep up, anyway, I didn't take the car when I led the army to Paris the first two times." ”

"Hitler, huh?" Lomono hated him: "You Germany have been defeated in the war, as our chancellor said in his speech, you Germany were born of injustice and deserve to die in disgrace." ”

Hitler didn't bother with him, and after tidying up the team, he ran to keep up with the moving car.

Hitler and they didn't run long to reach their destination, the villa arranged by the French was not big, there were no more than seventy or eighty people, when they went to Romeo to arrange, Romeo still said: "There is only such a vacant villa, the war has been fought for so many years, and our French government has no spare money to entertain superfluous idlers." ”

After finishing speaking, he left a sentence and waited for the future arrangement and ran away, and the angry Minister of Justice Bale immediately set off to the French government residence to respond to the problem.

Most of the rest can only taste the shame in silence.

Hitler breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's all stay together, now that the weather is warm, you can sleep underground, the escorts will take turns on duty, there will not be many beds, if you can't sleep, we will go to a few hostels nearby." ”

"Well, that's it." Max Weber nodded first, tired from hours of train rides.

The sunset in Paris was a mesmerizing rose red, a large expanse rendered the whole sky, a few doves flew by, and the sound of wings fluttering far away, it was a romantic scene, but Hitler felt a little irritated instead.

When it was dark, Bell returned to the villa, but everyone looked at Bell's dark face and knew the result of Bell's visit to the French government.
