Chapter 1500 Politics is Everywhere

Berchtesgaden, Germany. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Located in the Byrne Alps, on the banks of the Ach River, with snow-capped peaks, glacial lakes and salt springs, the site was once a border city in the southeast of Germany, surrounded on three sides by Austrian territory. Now, however, with the annexation of Austria to German territory and the inclusion of the Czech Sudetenland, Berchtesgaden has become the heart of Germany.

After assuming the power of the president and chancellor and becoming the head of Germany, Hitler bought a large plot of land in the Obersalz mountain in Berchtesgaden and built a magnificent palace, which was officially opened in the autumn of 1935.

At ten o'clock in the morning, in the conference room of Hitler's palace in Salzberg, Hitler's closest comrade-in-arms, Air Force Commander Hermann. William. Field Marshal Goering, Deputy Leader of the Nazi Party, German Minister and Member of the Cabinet of Defense Committee Rudolf Göring. Hess, Inspector General of the German Police and Reich SS Governor Heinrich. Hilem, head of the Nazi Party's Propaganda Department, Minister of National Education and Propaganda and Chief Executive of the German capital, Paul Brown. Joseph. Goebbels, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, Director of Intelligence and Security Reinhard. Heydrich, SS district captain Wilhelm. Kepler, Nazi Party liaison officer Bormann, and others sat at opposite sides of the conference table, listening to Hitler's explanation of how to finally dismember and annex the Czech Republic.

"This time,"

Hitler waved his fist, "I don't need mediation, I don't want peace." They spoke a in Munich, and now they have to speak b. ”

In front of Hitler was a folder containing a detailed biography of Hacha, the current president of Czech Slovak, who had replaced Benes, who had retired after the Munich Conference.

"Hacha was a weak and incompetent man, and after the Munich Conference he instructed the new government to dissolve the Dzheb party, to dismiss all the Jewish teachers in the Germanic schools, and to prove its sincerity and goodness by sending a telegram through his foreign minister, Chevalkovsky, stating that the Czech Republic would fulfill our wishes in every way. Haha, the Czechs, who were abandoned by Britain and France, have become frightened cowards, they know that the British and French are unreliable, and only by choosing to move closer to us is the way to survive, but Germany needs Czech industrial facilities, and the Czech Republic must be eliminated. ”

The conference room burst into applause. Hitler looked at the fanatical Nazi party with great satisfaction, and when the applause stopped, he continued:

"The Czechs were saved from the catastrophe by our mercy, and now the British and French are trapped in the Far East, and the poor Czechs have no support at all, and now under our operation, the separatist movement in Slovakia and Lucinia has become inextricably linked, and no matter what they do, it will not prevent us from marching to Prague, and the annexation of the Czech Slovak to Germany is already irreversible."

The audience applauded thunderously, Rudolph. Hess complimented: "My Führer, I must congratulate you in the name of the party, the remaining Czech territories, which are looking at you with hope and waiting for your liberation!" The German and Germanic peoples will be proud of your achievements! ”

At this time, a staff member pushed open the conference room and walked in, bowed humbly to the bigwigs, did not dare to meet Hitler's angry eyes, and walked quickly to Reinhard. Behind Heydrich, he handed him a telegram marked "Urgent" and bowed again. By the time I arrived outside the conference room, my vest was soaked in cold sweat.

Hitler did not like to be disturbed during a meeting, but he also knew the priority of the matter, and this staff member, who was obviously a secret service of the Security Service, took a huge risk to deliver the news, and there must have been important information, and immediately looked with interest at Reinhard, who was sitting precariously without glancing at the message. Heydrich:

"My dear little Reinhard, look at what news is worth asking your subordinates to disturb such an important and serious meeting of ours."

"Yes, my Führer!"

Reinhard. Under the gaze of everyone, Heydrich opened the telegram, read it carefully, and after reading it, his face changed, and he stood up and respectfully reported to Hitler:

"My Führer, the latest information from the Far East is that the French ocean-going fleet and Cochinchina are most likely in the hands of An Yi. The reason why An Yi, the commander of the An family's army, kept it a secret was obviously to use Cochinchina and Saigon as bait to let the French automatically take the bait and take down the army and navy sent by the French to the Far East without bloodshed, so as to obtain the maximum benefits at the minimum cost. ”

Hitler was very pleased: "Reinhard, can you be sure of the accuracy of the sources?" ”

Reinhard. Heydrich said confidently: "You know, we have acquired astronomical wealth when we confiscated the assets of the Jews, and if such a large sum of money were deposited in a Swiss bank, we would receive nothing but a little interest." Therefore, at the party meeting at the end of last year, we decided to invest this part of the money in Annan, and in the future, with the expansion of the Anyi Group, we will get much more profits than if we had put it in the bank. Through this kind of investment, we can also quickly bring closer to the Far East, a military force with strong war potential, and increase cooperation and trust between the two sides......"

Goering interjected excitedly: "Führer, this investment is very cost-effective, we will soon get a return, in mid-January, the Syrian government secretly sent us the research and development materials of the Mosquito fighter. It's unbelievable that an aircraft made of wood also has such a high performance, whether it is a reconnaissance aircraft, a fighter or a bomber, it performs equally well, and if it can be used at night, the power will be doubled, and then our air force will be able to bomb our opponents around the clock, so that they can understand what terrible consequences it will be to go against Germany! ”

Hitler smiled and looked at Goering: "Dear Herman, we all know the generosity of Syria, but shall we listen to Reinhard first?" ”

"Yes, my Führer!"

No one could disobey Hitler, and Goering kept his mouth shut.

Reinhard. Heydrich smiled apologetically at Goering, and then said: "Europe has developed to this day, and all the places where railways and highways should be built have convenient and fast transportation, and a large number of our railway and highway designers and engineers are in a semi-unemployed state, receiving pitiful subsidies from the government every month, and their lives are extremely unstable, which is also a major hidden danger to society. On the contrary, in Annam in the east, except for a meagre railway and one or two main roads, the rest of the place is covered by a vast sea of forests, and there is a great need for railways and roads, which are just complementary to each other.

So far, we have sent more than 5,000 professionals to Annam to build railways, and by the middle of last month, combined with the French railway design plan, and according to our field survey, we have identified the routes of four railways and 12 roads, and all of them have started construction. Among the more than 5,000 dispatchees, our intelligence department has dispatched about 50 agents with professional road construction skills to continuously collect intelligence on all aspects of Annan.

"According to the previous income, Annan's resources are extremely rich, especially the rich reserves of coal and iron, the close combination, the convenience of mining, shocking, everyone must have seen the information compiled by our intelligence department at the end of last month, if the Taiyuan area of Annam develops, it will become the Ruhr area of the East, and the annual output of steel can easily break 10 million tons, so to speak, it is a region with infinite potential for industrial development, and it also means that as long as it is given enough time for development, That friend of ours also has almost limitless potential for war.

"Entering this month, our railway and highway project managers gradually became familiar with the French prisoners of war who were escorted to work at the road construction site, and began to quietly look for opportunities to make contact. Although the management of the Chinese is strict, the large number of French people is not something that more than a thousand people can see, and slowly we figure out that as early as the early morning of the fourth month of last month, Saigon has fallen into the hands of the Chinese, and what is particularly shocking is that they actually attacked the fleet sent by the French to the Far East for deterrence, obtained a large number of warships, and obtained the allegiance of most of the French navy, and already had a not weak maritime force.

"Our intelligence officers did not dare to be negligent about such a big matter, so they talked to several people separately and finally confirmed this information. Our intelligence officers did not dare to delay, and under the pretext that someone in their family was sick and returned to China to visit relatives, they took a flight from Syria to Berlin and reported to the intelligence bureau as soon as they arrived in Berlin. ”

Hitler stroked his chin and pondered for a long time, with a relaxed smile on his face: "It's unbelievable that Chinese is so big that he can hide such a big thing for so long, but it gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it......"

Seeing that Hitler was in a good mood, Heinrich . Following Hitler's words, Shilem asked: "My Führer, what do you have a good idea?" ”

Hitler smiled and said: "We just decided to make a move against the Czechs at the beginning of next month, if before that, the French know that their Annan is all lost, and the fleet is gone, I don't know how they will react?" I guess we don't have the spirit to point fingers at us anymore, right? As soon as the Czech Republic is finished, will our neighboring countries, in addition to moving closer to us, dare to count on the French and the British? It will be a great time for us to reorganize our armaments and begin to challenge the European order! God bless me Germany, with Annan's containment, the revival of the Germanic nation will not be stopped! ”

"But ......"

Deputy Leader of the Nazi Party, German Minister and Member of the Cabinet of Defense Committee Rudolf. Hess hesitated: "Is this good?" Will this undermine the cooperative relationship between us and the Chinese? ”

Hitler's expression became serious: "Rudolph, you must abandon this naïve idea, that exchanges between countries are by no means only about cooperation, but also about exploitation. A country of use is worth communicating, otherwise it is not worth having German friendship at all! Besides, we can quietly operate this through our institutions in France, and who can associate everything with us? ”

Paul. Joseph. Goebbels smiled and said, "There is no problem with this, Flender, president of the French Patriotic Union. Count Brynnong, Editor-in-Chief of the Morning Post, Stephen Brown. Lozang, Dubois. Councillor Frenet and others can be our reliable friends. Even the front pages of all French newspapers can be published on the front pages of all French newspapers if desired. ”

"If necessary, British and even American newspapers could report this explosive news, and I think the British, who are tired of dealing with the rebellions in India, Burma, and Malaya, will be shocked by this, and tremble under the iron hooves of my Germany!" Foreign Minister Ribbentrop chimed in.

Rudolph. Hess shrugged: "Well, since everyone thinks it's the right thing to do, I'll take back my opinion." I just hope that our friends will survive this, otherwise we will lose more than we have gained. ”

Hitler looked confident: "Don't worry, dear Rudolph, I have a lot of confidence in that little friend, he will definitely be able to defeat the cowardly French!" I am convinced that the superiority of the Aryan nation will be reflected in the rise of the Germanic nation and the Chinese nation! ”

The tone of the meeting was set, and just as Hitler was about to call it over, Reinhard . Heydrich suddenly proposed:

"My honorable Führer, since we now have so many excellent fighters, would you like to consider strengthening our navy? Judging from the information that has recently been fed back from various parts of the world, the focus of future naval warfare will be concentrated in the air and under the sea, and our U-boats are already very powerful, and the two aircraft carriers that we started building at the end of March or April, and the Zeppelin, which is built at a faster speed, were also launched at the end of last year, but we do not have suitable carrier-based aircraft, and we do not even have land-based aircraft assigned to the navy, and this is very unfavorable for future operations.

"My Führer, for the sake of Germany's future, I think it's time to equip the Navy with warplanes! Otherwise, it will be a great waste of resources! ”

Goering stood up and glared at Reinhard. Heydrich: "Reinhard, what do you mean?" Germany only needs one air force, and I have said before that in Germany everything that can fly should belong to me, are you questioning my authority? ”

Reinhard. Heydrich did not show weakness: "Marshal Hermann, I know that you are dissatisfied with the construction of aircraft carriers and the formation of your own aviation force by the navy, the aircraft carrier is a mobile sea airfield, with it, the navy has aircraft, the aircraft carrier is the navy, and the air force cannot control it, which is equivalent to realizing the weakening of your power and the expansion of the naval power, and at the same time the navy has aircraft, the number of fighters in the air force will be reduced."

"However, judging from the fact that Chinese fighters have sunk Japanese warships many times and Japan has changed its shipbuilding in a timely manner, the focus of future naval warfare lies in who has mastered the sky of the ocean, if the navy does not have its own aircraft, once we declare war on France, then our external passage will be blocked by Britain and France, repeating the scene of the last European war, are you willing to re-experience the painful experience of the defeat in the last European war?"

There was silence in the room, all thinking about Heydrich's question.

As Führer, Hitler did not want to be monolithic, which would be extremely detrimental to his rule. Heydrich was full of provocative questioning, full of appreciation. Seeing that Goering's eyes were red, and he looked like he was choosing someone to devour, he frowned:

"Hermann, you must know how to control your emotions, and if you look no further than the interests of the entire Germanic nation and the German Empire, and only think of expanding your power, then I will deprive you of the power of the commander of the air force. Anyone who stops the advance of Germany, the commander of my Adolf, must be defeated, there is no doubt about it! ”

Goering was shocked, and at this moment, he suddenly realized that the Air Force had recently frequently acquired new fighters to enrich the number of fighters, and his exposure in the public and the media even surpassed that of Hitler, which was a very terrible thing. Think of the Nazi Party and the number two man of the Third Reich in three or four years – Ernst Brown, Hitler's closest comrade-in-arms and commander-in-chief of the SA. Röhm's tragic end caused beads of sweat to break out on Goering's forehead.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Goering's eyes changed from the angry Hitler to the surprised Heinrich. Heelem's face swept over him, and he thought about it. Obviously, Reinhard. Heydrich's attack, without consulting his superior Hielem, was an opportunity to take advantage of, and he immediately expressed his stance to Hitler:

"My Führer, Herman is your most faithful follower and will never betray your will. Since Reinhard has studied the navy so deeply, I don't think it would be better for him to be the commander of naval aviation, and I don't mind separating my powers, as long as he can put the navy in order in a short time, so that the navy, which has always been a forbidden area of our national socialist party, can be opened to us. With that, he looked at Reinhard with a defiant gaze. Heydrich.

Hitler nodded again and again, and now the entire German army and air force have replaced military salutes with a show of hand, and only the navy still insists on using military salutes, which in Hitler's view, is a serious provocation to himself. Therefore, there are certain technical problems with Goering's vigorous suppression of the navy and obstruction of the construction of aircraft carriers, and the airfields and carrier-based aircraft assigned to the navy at the same time. It was in this situation that the Navy had to concentrate on the development of submarines, of which thousands have been built so far.

However, Hitler hesitated when Heydrich said that suppressing the development of naval aviation would lead to damage to the great cause of the Third Reich, and he did not want to become a shameful loser, which would be more uncomfortable than killing him, so he was inclined to strengthen the German Navy appropriately.

Göring's proposal allowed Hitler to open a skylight, and now that the Navy does not have an air force, then, I have no problem sending a person who has studied both the Air Force and the Navy to the Navy as the commander of the Air Force, right? This kind of excuse couldn't be more wonderful! If the navy group does not agree, not only will there be no planes, there will be no submarines, and even if there is the remaining aircraft carrier, the construction will have to be stopped, after all, the national defense budget is very tight now, and the army, navy, and air force need to invest a lot of money, and no one can blame the army for building tanks and artillery with the steel needed to build the navy.

Thinking of this, Hitler immediately made a decision and loudly announced: "Hermann's proposal is selfless and constructive!" My dear little Reinhard, what is your opinion? ”

Reinhard. Heydrich's handsome face was not shocked: "My most beloved Führer, you are the sun in Reinhard's mind, the great helmsman who leads Germany forward, Reinhard will always take your will as the criterion, I will go wherever you let me, and never retreat or hesitate." ”

Many of the participants felt a sense of disgust, and said that this little white-faced man was getting better and better, and it seemed that he would have to be more and more vigilant in the future. Heinrich. Heelem's face was gloomy, and he was very dissatisfied with the fact that this subordinate had crossed over to him and expressed his loyalty directly to Hitler.

Hitler felt all over his body, every pore was comfortable, and he was promoted to Reinhard. Heydrich was even more eager, clapping his hands and saying:

"Well, I have officially appointed Reinhard as commander of naval aviation, and the rank is tentatively set at that of general. After the meeting is dismissed, I will tell Commander of the Navy Raeder about this decision, hoping that he will be aware of the current affairs, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless. ”

Seeing that Hitler was arbitrary, everyone naturally did not object, so the matter was settled. The pace of the progress of the times is getting farther and farther away from the original track, and no one knows where the world will lead.
