The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier next to the Imperial Palace on Boulderway Linden is a solemn place in Berlin where all the unsung heroes who died in the war for Germany are commemorated. Every holiday, the German government and people will come here to lay wreaths and commemorate the martyrs; Envoys from various countries to Germany will also come here to lay flowers to show their friendship, and as a courtesy, the German side will invite guests to review the honor guard in front of the tomb.

At this time, Li Kongrong, as an adjutant, followed behind Kong Xiangxi and Chen Shaokuan, and examined the mighty German soldiers in his steps. As a small person in later generations, he doesn't feel too good at this time, and this kind of scene that can only be seen on TV can be experienced in person, which is really worthwhile. However, the euphoria did not obscure his perception of these German soldiers, a bunch of stupid brainless cannon fodder who would be buried with Hitler and the Third Reich in a few years.

Li Kongrong was disdainful in his heart, but Gui Yongqing, Du Luming and others in the army were inexplicably excited, perhaps in their eyes, this is the world's first army, and China's study of the German army is the right choice.

Walking from one end of the square to the other, after reviewing the guard of honor, the delegation will go to the Air Force building to meet with Air Force Commander Goering, the No. 2 figure of the National Socialist Party. In Cheng's introduction, this was a difficult role, but because of his position in the National Socialist Party and his leadership of the four-year plan, the delegation had to meet again. Because of this, Kong Xiangxi called a meeting of the main figures at nine o'clock in the morning to discuss the rhetoric of the meeting with Goering. Come to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at eleven o'clock to lay flowers, and then go directly to the Air Force Building, although the agreed time is half past eleven.

The driver controlled the speed of the car, and everyone arrived at the Air Force Building at 11:20 a.m., and when the receptionists beckoned everyone to take their seats in the meeting room, the time was only 11:23 a.m. The rest of the day was a wait, of course, but it was disturbing that Hermann Goering did not show up at half-past eleven.

Late for a private person may not be important, but it is naturally very impolite for Goering to show up in a diplomatic setting, as a landlord. As the ambassador to Germany, Cheng Tianfang was the most uneasy, he seemed to be on fire under his buttocks, and kept looking at the door of the living room at the same time, he also kept looking at Kong Xiangxi. He was responsible for all the affairs of dealing with Germany, and now that Goering was so rude, he certainly had to take responsibility. Kong Xiangxi now represents the Standing Committee Chairman and the party-state, and he has been humiliated not only himself, but the Standing Committee and the entire party-state. The seconds moved forward, and the minutes also moved forward, and when Cheng Tianfang was soaked with sweat, the door of the living room opened, and Goering came.

Cheng Tianfang was the first to stand up, with a reluctant smile. After that, Kong Xiangxi, Weng Wenhao, Chen Shaokuan, Shen Dexie, Gui Yongqing, Du Luming and a cadre attaché. Li Kongrong was standing beside Kong Xiangxi, he didn't see his own personnel suppressing a reluctant smile of displeasure, he just looked at the famous Goringo fat man.

At the end of the parlor, the butcher-like body of a vegetable market was tucked into the straight, dignified, and medal-covered uniform of an Air Force general, with two black belts wrapped around it. The fat man approached with a cane on his right hand and stumbling a little. His head was erect, and he didn't seem to see the guests standing to greet him, but walked proudly to his place.

"Your Excellency the Admiral was injured in the leg while riding a horse a few days ago...... the Air Force lieutenant colonel in charge of the reception whispered to Cheng Tianfang and Kong Xiangxi, which immediately made Cheng Tianfang find a plausible excuse for Goering's previous negligence. He smiled and said in accordance with diplomatic etiquette: "Your Excellency Goering, please allow me to introduce to you the special envoy of the Standing Committee of the President of our country, Mr. Kong Xiangxi......"

Cheng Tianfang was full of anticipation, and Kong Xiangxi was also smiling and about to step forward to shake hands, but what happened next made the last trace of face of the party-state lose - Goering didn't want to shake hands with Kong Xiangxi, the cane in his hand pointed at the chair slightly, and said, "Please sit down." ”

Cheng Tianfang's face instantly turned red, like an adulterer caught on the spot; Kong Xiangxi's smiling face seemed to have been punched, and he was stunned for a while before he sat down helplessly, during which he helped his glasses countless times. The sea, land and air generals after Kong Xiangxi also sat down, and their eyes immediately changed when they looked at Goering.

Probably disrupted by Goering's rudeness, poor Kong Xiangxi coughed several times before he began to speak, and he said: "Your Excellency, at the sincere invitation of your government, I have been courteous to all of you during my visit to Germany, and I am very grateful to you.

The friendship between China and Germany has a long history, and as early as the time of Li Hongzhang in the former Qing Dynasty, the two countries established a trust that is different from that of other countries, and the contemptible people are deeply honored by this. Our leader, His Excellency Chang Kaishen, has always had a great affection for your country, which is also the basis for Sino-German cooperation in the military field for 10 years. Moreover, we have deep admiration for the achievements of your country under the leadership of Führer Hitler and the National Socialist Party......"

In Kong Xiangxi's stammering statement, the three-minute opening words that he had prepared before were all messed up, but fortunately, these words did not make much sense, and Goering did not care about them. He nodded and glanced at Kong Xiangxi, and said, "Today we should speak frankly, not those general clichés." First of all, I must state that the German-Japanese agreement signed last year was only for anti-communism, not against China. However, as far as I know, the Chinese side reached a compromise with the Communists in Xi'an last year, and the government and army were infiltrated and even controlled by the Communists.

Communism is a cancer of mankind and a Judeo-Jewish conspiracy to control the world! Any country that indulged communism was bound to become a potential enemy of Germany. I hope that China will curb the growing communist movement at home, otherwise the long-term friendship between Germany and China will eventually be ruined. ”

Kong Xiangxi prepared a lot of rhetoric, not wanting Göring to be so hostile to communism and using it to attack China. He continued to conceive rhetoric in Qi Yan's translation, and when the last sentence was translated, he said: "Your Excellency, after the Xi'an Incident in China, the Chinese Red Party forces have been absorbed by the government, and the problem of communism in China is expected to be resolved through political means......

"Babble......" said Goering, laughing impolitely, and uttering a 'babble' sound, "the experience of Germany and Europe shows that the Communists cannot be trusted in any promise." If China trusts the promises of the communists, it will only end up becoming a second Soviet ......"

"Your Excellency, China is industrially backward and does not have much proletariat, and since there is no proletariat, then communists are very ......scarce," Goering was aggressive, and Kong Xiangxi had to interrupt him to defend himself.

"But as far as I know, the Nanjing incident ten years ago was deliberately provoked by communists in the Chinese army. This was only ten years ago, and if communists could infiltrate the military, why couldn't they infiltrate the current Chinese government? Goering said the news provided by Japan, and once again interrupted Kong Xiangxi. If China can sign an anti-communist treaty with Germany, as Japan did, we will always be allies, but if China compromises with the communists, our friendship will be difficult to maintain. ”

"Your Excellency, even if Japan signs an alliance, it is unreliable, and Japan's aim is to occupy China in order to monopolize Asia and dominate the world in the future. This was evident in the last war, when Japan occupied Qingdao and seized the German islands in the Pacific, a country that could not be trusted. ”

"Japan is the Italy of the East, and we don't trust him." Goering was not confused by Kong Xiangxi's low-level transfer, and he turned to say, "But Japan is now the largest power in Asia, and it has strong naval and air power, does China have it?" ”

Goering did speak frankly, but this confession humiliated all the Chinese present. Kong Xiangxi simply released the winner, he said: "We don't want to interfere in what policy Germany adopts in the Far East and which country it makes a treaty with, but we must know whether Germany is willing to be friends with China or Japan?" ”

"Germany will only be friends with strong, anti-communist countries." Goering heard Kong Xiangxi's anger, but he didn't care, "China has the conditions to become a great power, Germany is naturally willing to be friends with China, and also hopes to see China become a strong country in the future, but the facts are not satisfactory, excluding the compromise between China and the communists, China's industrial construction alone will make no progress, not only no progress, but a large decline."

In the past, China had steel mills, arsenals, shipyards, torpedo factories, ...... could produce steel, guns, artillery, cruisers, and torpedoes, but now, almost all weapons in China need to be purchased from outside, and only rifles can be produced in small quantities. Not only that, but there are often wars in China, with the armies of one state and the armies of another attacking each other. This has to make people nostalgic for the Qing Dynasty in the past, and I think China will be stronger then than it is now......"

A penchant for high-flying criticism is an inherent habit of Göring, and ironically, he often considers it his kindest and friendliest reminder. Perhaps he could still tolerate the accusations of the communists, but his belittling of the current China and the praise of the Manchus made Kong Xiangxi and others indignant - doesn't this mean that the revolution to which the former prime minister dedicated his life is going backwards? If it's just accusations, it's a fact.

In the past, China had the Hanyang Iron Works, and now almost all of China's steel is outsourced; In the past, China could produce 75mm mountain guns, but now China has to purchase mortars; In the past, China could build ironclad ships, but now China will not build torpedo boats; In the past, China had a white-headed torpedo assembly plant, and now China does not know how to produce mines......

Complete degradation, a real slap in the face. Kong Xiangxi, who couldn't sit still, wanted to get up and say goodbye several times, but because China was completely dependent on Germany for arms, he had to sit down again. Chen Shaokuan, who knew that what Goering said was almost all correct, had to bow his head, indeed, in the 26 years of the Republic of China, the entire Chinese military industry has been really degraded.

"All creative peoples, they are always creating, but they don't seem to be aware of it......" suddenly sounded in jerky German, which surprised Goering slightly.

"They can only recognize the fait accompli, because most people in the world can only see the appearance of genius, such as invention, discovery, architecture, painting, etc., but not the genius itself. Even this kind of appearance is not something they can understand for a while. ”

This is Li Kongrong's voice, he doesn't mind Goering's face smoking, Sun Cannon, and Chang bald, but as Kong Xiangxi's adjutant and the navy lieutenant of the Republic of China, he has to speak out to protect some face for the party-state when everyone is speechless. Moreover, his words are difficult to refute - these are the words of the great Führer Hitler, from the third paragraph of page 135 of Mein Kampf, which he merely quotes.

Because of this, Goering looked at him very strangely, forgetting to refute it, and as the supposed successor of Hitler, he had of course read Mein Kampf and knew where these words came from.

Goering was stunned and at a loss, and the translator Qi Yan translated this passage in German to Kong Xiangxi in a low voice, but Kong Xiangxi had not read "Mein Kampf" and did not understand the meaning of this passage very well, but he was not a fool, and understood that this was the adjutant saving face for the party-state and himself, so he looked at Li Kongrong with a look of approval.

"Your Excellency, China is a 4,000-year-old nation and an empire, and it will take a long time for her to transform into a nation-state like Germany. Perhaps on the surface she is degrading, but the real change and creation inside is happening all the time. Li Kongrong didn't know how to open his mouth, but since he opened it, he could only continue.

It's okay to memorize Hitler's quotations, but ...... not Hitler's quotations, Goering immediately laughed, and he sarcastically said: "The Jews are also a people for thousands of years, but they are only parasites of mankind!" ”

"Your Excellency, the Aryans are also an ancient people, but we obviously cannot say that the Aryans are parasites. The Chinese are industrious and simple, and they do not rely on intelligence to exploit any ethnic group. Li Kongrong retorted, using Hitler's quotations. He added: "If the Germanic peoples are to prevent the corrupt elements that threaten Europe, we must not fall into the same error as we did before the war and become enemies of God and the whole world, but we must truly identify our greatest enemy and concentrate all our energies on attacking him, so that we can be victorious by sacrifice elsewhere." For the time being, however, Germany is clearly making the same mistake as before: failing to recognize who is its friend and who is its worst enemy. The strength of Japan that you have just mentioned is precisely the reason why Germany will be dragged down and hurt by Japan in the future. ”

The foreign junior officer, who recited Hitler's quotations in every sentence, actually pointed out that Germany had made the same mistake as before, and Goering was no longer stunned, he stood up and said very unpleasantly: "Please tell me the reason!" ”

"Your Excellency, it seems that you know nothing about the situation in Japan!" Li Kongrong saw that Goering was no longer nervous so suddenly, but instead spoke mockingly. "After the 226 Mutiny last year, Japan's political arena was controlled by the ruling faction, and the imperial faction completely stepped down. It was as if the National Socialist Party had completely stepped down and the Weimar government had come to power. What is a Regime? It is a group of office technocrats who defend the interests of the chaebol, without the courage and sacrifice spirit of knights, and are always short-sighted, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Japan's value to Germany was to contain the Soviet Union, and to contain the Soviet Union was to attack Siberia. Is there oil in Siberia? No! Is there grain in Siberia? Nor did it! Is there rubber in Siberia? Not even more! Where is the oil? Nanyang! Where is the grain, Nanyang! Where there is rubber, it is still Nanyang! If the Imperial faction were in power, Japan would have attacked the Soviet Union, but the chaebol-controlled rulers had no intention of doing so, and they only considered their own interests rather than the interests of their alliances.

It is true that Japan is the largest power in Asia, with great naval and air power, but this is not only not beneficial but harmful to Germany, because if Japan attacks the South Seas, Britain and France will declare war on him and his ally Germany, and Germany will once again be the enemy of God and the whole world......"
