Chapter 1717 New Plan

After the pacification of northern Afghanistan, Diana was under the command of Prime Minister Mohammed Mohammed. At the urging of Hashim, she insisted on returning to her own land and becoming a veritable queen of Afghanistan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It just so happened that at this time, Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun were already facing childbirth, and as husbands and fathers, it was definitely incompetent not to be by their side.

In this case, according to the feedback from the various military management committees, An Yi selected Mazar-i-Sharif as the temporary capital of Afghanistan from the cities in northern Afghanistan, which was once the key point of the ancient Silk Road, with many palaces and ancient buildings, and the holy mausoleum of Ali in the suburbs is said to be the son-in-law and disciple of Muhammad, the founder of Islam, and the tomb of Ali Ali, which is one of the holy places of Shiism.

An Yi personally accompanied Diana to Mazar-i-Sharif, properly arranged everything, set up the Balkh Palace in the east of the city as a royal palace, repaired some dilapidated palaces, and installed heating and air conditioning in the dormitories, study rooms, etc., and instructed the engineering troops to build a high-standard airport as soon as possible and build a railway connecting Termez to Mazar-i-Sharif.

After doing this, An Yi said goodbye to Diana and returned to Nanhua.

......

February 18, 1939, the day of the third month of the lunar calendar, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Nanhua, Xinjing, Xiaonanhai.

In the main banquet hall, which can accommodate hundreds of wine tables, it is full of dignitaries from the three worlds of the South China party, government and army, An Yi's relatives and friends, and celebrities from the business circles of South China and Southwest China.

In a private room at the back of the hall, Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, each holding a cute baby with big black and white eyes looking around, teasing, and talking with a room of ladies from time to time.

At the New Year group meeting held by the South China government, Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun quietly picked up Ye Zixin, Ding Molan, Zhang Ruyi, Zhu Yun, Han Yu, Zhou Xuan, Yu Kexin, Jiang Fengying and their families, which was regarded as showing their attitude, plus Gong Qian and Ye Qing, who attended as sisters, made An Yi, who fell into the country of Zhongxiang, a little unprepared, and had to bite the bullet, accept the congratulations of the brothers, and toast to the daughters' elders as cheap sons-in-law.

In another relatively small banquet hall, the banquet has been removed, and most of the hundreds of young and handsome men are An Yi's righteous sons and daughters, who are in groups of threes and twos, talking about study and work, and laughing happily from time to time.

Xiao Xinghua and Leng Yue sat together, looking at Leng Yue's beautiful face, smelling the faint fragrance wafting from her, and asked curiously: "Sister Yue, I heard that your research institute has recently produced several results, is this good smell on your body your own perfume?" ”

"Where?"

Leng Yueqiao blushed: "I rarely use perfume, it is estimated that when mixing perfume, the essential oil splashes down on the body and leaves the breath." After returning from the United States, I applied for funds from Dean Gong to set up a perfume laboratory, recruited more than a dozen students from the United States, and invited several traditional incense masters from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to conduct research together. Up to now, a total of more than 10 kinds of perfumes have been prepared, all of which are specially blended for different physiques and body odor characteristics, and two of the men's perfumes have been tested by drug agencies to confirm that there are no side effects on the human body, and have been registered patents in Europe and the United States by the American Chinese Foundation. ”

Xiao Xinghua said enviously: "Dealing with fragrance every day, this job is quite happy, right?" ”

Leng Yue shook her head: "It's very boring, every time I enter the laboratory, I have a headache for a while in the face of hundreds of bottles full of essence oils and chemical synthetics, and each perfume is constantly blended with different ratios of essence oils and chemical synthetics to achieve different effects." It is almost impossible to create a perfume quickly, and if you smell it a few times, your nose will become unusually dull. So between one scent and another, there may be a gap of hours or even days before testing again.

"So far, the laboratory has developed five different basic combinations, the first is rose, jasmine, clove, lily of the valley, carnation, tuberose, hyacinth, orange blossom, orange blossom, violet, perfume grass, gardenia and other single floral fragrance as the main fragrance of the compatibility, through which many feminine fragrances can be produced; The second is a composite compatibility composed of several floral fragrances, which gives people the feeling of floral fragrance, but it is difficult to describe which specific floral fragrance it is, and its composition is more complex than the floral fragrance type, which is the main type of women's perfume compatibility; The third is to add a large amount of fatty aldehydes to the hundred flower type to make it have a strong modern flavor of compatibility, this type is mainly used for women; The fourth is to add some fragrant plant essential oils to the floral fragrance type to achieve the effect of fragrance and elegance, which is the main compatibility of men's perfumes I researched; The fifth is to use sesame oil extracted from fruits, which is suitable for girls and children. In the future, according to the needs of the market, these five basic compatibility can be slightly changed to achieve a new effect! ”

"Wow!"

Xiao Xinghua was dumbfounded: "There are so many kinds of perfumes, it sounds so complicated...... Was it useful to study this? Even Sister Yue, you don't use it, the blender, and the sales in southern Sichuan and Nanhua will definitely be very problematic. ”

"This one is mainly for Westerners!"

Leng Yue said with a smile: "Westerners have large pores and a strong body odor, which must be covered up by perfume, and the demand for perfume has always been great. It's a huge market worth $2 billion, and we have almost zero market share in this area, which is the fundamental reason why I learned to blend perfumes in the United States. Two men's fragrances, our laboratory has authorized the United States Huaqing Society to produce, it is estimated that after the brand operation, it will soon be put on the market. ”

Xiao Xinghua was amazed when she heard this, and after a while she asked again: "I always hear what essential oils you say, what is it, why is it so magical?" ”

"Sister, why do you have so many problems in your head?"

Leng Yue turned her fingers into a hammer, knocked on Xiao Xinghua's head, and patiently explained: "Before the invention of perfume, Europeans collected flower petals and pollen to make sachets and wear them on their bodies to drive away the odor on their bodies, and the Crusades allowed the French to obtain the production method of essential oil obtained by distilling plant petals from Arab countries, which established its dominance in the field of perfumery.

"With the continuous advancement of science and technology, people can already extract essential oils from the petals, buds, leaves, stems, trunks, fruits, seeds, bark, gums and roots of plants, sometimes the whole plant can be scented, and sometimes different parts of the same plant can develop different notes.

"In the case of orange trees, for example, it can be made into neroli oil, and at the same time, in another process, orange blossom oil can be extracted from flowers, orange peel oil can be extracted from orange peels, and twig lei oil can be extracted from leaves, branches and small unripe fruits, all of which have different fragrances and can be blended into different perfumes.

"The modern perfume industry is the beginning of this century Professor Darang synthesized acetaldehyde, and now there are only more than ten perfume brands in the global market, and there is no dominant situation, especially for men, there is no one perfume so far, and the market prospect is very promising. My idea is to open up the market through men's perfumes, and then conduct careful and meticulous research to confirm the real needs of the market, and then formulate women's perfumes in a targeted manner!

"My sister's goal is not big, in this big market of two billion dollars, the perfume brand created by my sister only needs to occupy one-tenth of it!"

Xiao Xinghua's eyes widened: "One tenth? That's nearly $200 million, and the profit is tens of millions of dollars...... Sister Yue is really amazing! ”

"No matter how powerful it is, it's not as powerful as our password genius!"

Leng Yue said enviously: "I heard that you can help your stepfather by now and preside over the code-breaking work!" ”

Xiao Xinghua smiled smugly: "Although it is not like my sister, I can help the group create a lot of profits and relieve financial pressure, but it can be regarded as a contribution." But sister, these are confidential, let's not discuss them! By the way, sister, what do you think about the sudden addition of so many stepmothers today? I think it's so awkward, look at that girl from the Jiang family, it's about the same age as me......"

Leng Yue shook her head and smiled bitterly: "No matter what you say, it is the choice of our father-in-law, and we must fully respect it." Moreover, the father-in-law is so good, it is normal for someone to like it, among our orphan girls, there are many people who have a crush on the father-in-law, but they dare not show it, so they can only bury it deep in their hearts...... Alas......"

Leng Yue shook her head and let out a long sigh.

"Huh!?"

Xiao Xinghua's eyes widened: "He's a father-in-law, how can you like him?" Isn't that a mess of generations? ”

"What's not to do!"

Leng Yue said with some anger: "There is no blood relationship, why can't it?" Look at the girl of the Jiang family, if you really talk about seniority, isn't she the niece of her father-in-law? Secretary-General Jiang is on the same level as his father-in-law! Also, the stepfather's twin fiancées in the United States should also be nieces, and now they also occupy a position? Not to mention that Zhu Yun was originally my sister-in-law......"

Speaking of which, Leng Yue realized that she was a little out of shape, and her voice was lowered.

Even if Xiao Xinghua was emotionally dull, she found that something was wrong, and suddenly realized, leaned close to Leng Yue's ear, and whispered:

"Oh, it turns out that my sister likes my father-in-law...... But this problem is difficult to solve, and the father-in-law really treats us as daughters! After more than ten years, the stepfather has adopted nearly one million orphans, including thousands of beautiful girls, if everyone is like a sister, then the stepfather will have a big head! ”

Leng Yue's beautiful face turned red, and then begged in a low voice: "Good sister, don't talk nonsense everywhere, otherwise I won't have the face to go out to meet people!" I just want to look at my stepfather from afar, dedicate my life to the perfume business I am engaged in, and continue to mix best-selling perfumes to contribute to my father's career. If you talk nonsense and make my stepfather angry, maybe he will drive me far away......"

Xiao Xinghua saw Leng Yue's eager look, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, sister, don't be afraid, I won't talk nonsense!" But you can't do this, my mother said, girls have to get married! ”

Leng Yue said firmly: "I will dedicate my career in this life!" ”

Xiao Xinghua was slightly stunned, and then nodded heavily: "Okay, if I can't find a better man than my father-in-law, I won't marry for the rest of my life......"

An Yi naturally didn't know that there were two girls talking about him, at this moment he had just finished toasting, returned to his family, embraced Ye Zixin on the left and Ding Molan on the right, paid close attention to the expressions of the women, and found that everyone was not jealous or jealous.

......

Germany, Chancellery.

Hitler waved his fists and roared angrily: "The British have always wanted to kill the hope of the rise of the Germanic nation by despicable and shameless means, first declared war on Germany, and then sent people to assassinate me, if I had not been protected by the gods, I would not be able to meet with the generals and comrades today!" I, Adolf, swear that we will never allow the rogue state of Britain to continue to exist in the world, and we will destroy them like swatting flies, and completely erase the traces of the existence of Britain and France from this world, so that the military action against France will never be shaken! ”

It turned out that every November on the "Beer Hall Coup Remembrance", Hitler would attend the commemorative event in Munich and give a speech, so someone pre-placed a large package of explosives in a pillar on the beer hall platform and set up a timer engine. As is customary, that time coincided with Hitler's speech. As a result, Hitler had to return to Berlin early that day, so the celebration was held an hour earlier, when the bomb exploded, Hitler's special train was almost arriving in Nuremberg, and the explosion killed eight people on the spot and seriously injured more than 60 people, and these *** were all veterans of the Nazi Party.

When Hitler learned of the tragedy, he immediately asked Heilum to stay in Munich until the saboteurs were captured before returning to Berlin, and as a result, it took a week for Heilem to find out that the British intelligence services had sent someone to do it, and the specific person who handled it was the British spy Elser, which caused Hitler to react strongly.

Today's high-level meeting of the German government brought together the top leaders of the Nazi government and the army. In response to the military's passive avoidance of war and the failure to respond to things at every turn, Hitler took the opportunity to play a role, hoping to boost the fighting spirit of the Wehrmacht generals by attacking the brazenness of the British.

From September last year to the present, there has been a strange war on the western front of Germany, the British and French troops have been converging on the border line, and Germany is also holding the border, and the two sides have formed a confrontation situation, but they just do not do it, and it is called a sit-down war by the world. It was not that Hitler did not want to destroy France as soon as possible, but that Germany needed to develop a careful battle plan, digest the newly occupied lands, replenish troops, replace equipment, reserve ammunition, and naval aviation needed time to train, so the offensive could only be postponed.

However, in view of the defeat in the last European war, the Wehrmacht generals were afraid of attacking France, so they came up with a perfunctory plan to the effect that the main German army would break through Belgium, then pass through Belgium and enter northwestern France at lightning speed, and then sweep from west to east, all the way to the back of the Maginot Line.

This plan was almost a copy of the Schlieffen plan used by the Germans in World War I, and Hitler was very dissatisfied with it, after all, it was a plan that had already been used, and as long as the French were not amnesiacs, they would have defended accordingly, and Germany's defeat in the last war had already declared the Schlieffen plan bankrupt.

Hitler confronted the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Walter. Feng. Brauchitsch and Chief of Staff Franz. Halder said: "Why has the command so far not delivered a satisfactory offensive plan? As I have pointed out on several occasions, the 'Yellow Plan' does not contain a clear intention of a campaign to bring about a victorious end to the war, but its objective is very obvious, only to defeat the Allied forces in Belgium and to take control of the coast of the English Channel as a base for future military operations. And my demand is not to drive away the enemy, but to annihilate them completely, to advance the front quickly to France, to occupy Paris, and then to sweep London! ”

Brauchitsch stood up tremblingly: "My Führer, this is a plan made exactly what you want, and the subtlety of this plan lies in the fact that we will not only repel the allied forces in Belgium and northern France, occupy the ports of the Strait, seize the air and naval bases, from which it will be possible to harass and *** the British. Didn't you talk about peace with Britain and France many times in your speeches before? Such a measured offensive could force Britain and France to negotiate peace with us, and give us the opportunity to turn to the east. ”

Hitler couldn't help but laugh and cry: "No, no, no! How did I not deceive our enemies, but rather tie the hands and feet of our army? If the enemy calmly retreats, retains a large number of troops, and creates a situation of mutual confrontation in the last European war, how can peace be discussed? Moreover, before the threat of Britain and France is completely resolved, we must not attack Soviet Russia and reproduce the tragic situation of the last two-front battle in Europe! ”

Brauchitsch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "This ...... This...... Halder and I went back to re-make the plan......"

Hitler raised his hand: "No, I already have a good plan here...... After speaking, Hitler turned his head and said to the military adjutant Schmunt: "Go and bring in Rundstedt and General Manstein." ”

Brauchitsch and Halder looked at each other, both feeling shock and anxiety in each other's eyes.

In fact, Rundstedt and Manstein had already given them a new battle plan, but this plan would completely anger Britain and France, and there was no room for recovery, so they rejected it, in order to prevent the two from speaking directly to Hitler, they also arranged Rundstedt's Army Group A to the central front, so that he was nailed to the front line and was not allowed to return to Berlin, and the chief of staff of Army A Manstein was transferred to an infantry corps as the commander, of course, this was ostensibly an promotion. No one expected that Rundstedt and Manstein would have the opportunity to meet the Führer in person and make the plan to heaven.

And the one who helped Rundstedt and Manstein achieve their wishes was none other than Reinhard Brown, the Governor of Poland and the head of the Intelligence and Security Bureau. Heydrich.

Soon after Heydrich became the governor of Poland, he immediately invited all the Polish industrial and commercial tycoons and large landowners who had voluntarily declared their devotion to the empire to his governor's palace, and asked them to donate funds to the empire during the banquet, with the result that more than 300 people raised less than 10 million Reichsmarks, an average of only a pitiful tens of thousands, less than one percent of their net worth.

Heydrich remained unwavering on the surface, and that night he mobilized the SS to arrest the Polish celebrities who had returned home and still mocked the Germans as hillbillies, and imprisoned them in the Auschwitz and Majdannik concentration camps under construction, along with their families, relatives and friends.

This purge almost swept away the big bourgeoisie and large landowners in Poland, and the seized cash was divided into four parts, one for Hitler for special expenses, one for naval aviation for military expenses, one for the SS controlled by Heydrich for military expenses, and the last one for the Polish Governor's Palace, and the banks, factories, shops, and land run by the Poles all fell into the hands of the Governor's Palace. The Polish workers were to enjoy all the rights enjoyed by the German workers, and this greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the workers for production and greatly eliminated the antagonism in Poland.

By this time the Jews in Poland had been controlled, millions of Jews were forbidden to leave their houses, and then the young and middle-aged laborers, driven by the SS, went to the Soviet-Polish border to build fortresses, build roads and railways, go to the farms of large landowners to work as agricultural laborers, and to dig mines and do the most basic labor. Their wives, parents, and children were boarded on Red Cross-flagged passenger ships bound for the South China Sea in exchange for strategic supplies such as tungsten, tin, nickel, pig bristles, and tung oil, which Germany urgently needed.

After dealing with Polish politics, Heydrich and his chief of staff, Zhong Lei, returned to Berlin to remotely control Polish politics while continuing to lead the Intelligence and Security Service, the SS, and naval aviation.

During this period, a geological exploration company set up by students sent by An Jiajun in Germany first discovered a large oil field in the Lower Skesen region of northern Germany, and then explored a number of oil fields in Libya in northern Africa, which shocked the Nazi high-level, and the general manager of the company, Dai Zhenglong, was personally received by Hitler under the recommendation of Heydrich, and was awarded the title of "honorary German citizen".

Heydrich learned by chance that the Army Command had rejected Rundstedt and Manstein's battle plan, and at the suggestion of Zhong Lei, he immediately reported to Hitler. Hitler was not satisfied with the original battle plan, and in order to avoid the interference of the Wehrmacht, he asked Heydrich to take the two men to meet him at his palace in Obersalzberg in Berchtesgaden.

Neither Rundstedt nor Manstein were informable people, and did not boycott the meeting because of the notoriety of Heydrich, the head of the secret service, but quietly went to Berchtesgaden last week and made a detailed report to Hitler about the plan, which was approved by Hitler, and thus the meeting was held today.

Rundstedt and Manstein walked into the conference room and followed Hitler and others to the large sand table in the adjacent war room.

At Hitler's beckoning, Manstein took up his baton and explained carefully: "The success of the war in France as a whole depends entirely on the defeat and annihilation of the enemy's forces fighting in Belgium and south of the Somme, and not only on forcing their lines back.

"In view of this, a large number of infantry, motorized and armored divisions should be drawn from General Buck's Army Group B in the north to increase the strength of Army Group A in the center, and then attack through the Ardennes Forest and cross the Meuse River to Abwehr by the sea, so that the Belgian, British, and French armies in Belgium can be cut off. At the same time, Army Group B, weakened but still effective, could draw the British and French to northern Belgium and slowly push them back until Army Group A had completed its mission and attacked from behind and annihilated them.

"Although this plan has a certain risk, it has a better chance of success, and only in this way can it achieve complete victory."

"Very well, this is the battle plan I wanted!" When Hitler finished speaking, he applauded vigorously, followed by Brauchitsch and Halder, and then the room burst into applause.

When the applause stopped, Hitler looked at Brauchitsch: "How about the Wehrmacht according to this plan?" ”

"As you wish, my Führer!"

Brauchitsch replied respectfully, knowing that it was obviously unwise to oppose Hitler at this time.

"What about the Chief of Staff?"

Hitler asked Halder again.

"I agree!"

Halder knew that it was useless to oppose any more, and hurriedly expressed his position.

"Good!"

Hitler stood on the sand table and walked around: "This time we must give the British and French a good look, so that all the countries that have hurt the Germanic nation will tremble under the powerful blow of the imperial team!" ”
