513 The Louvre (Part I)
513 Louvre
In the palatial dining room, Wang Tingen is sitting opposite Hitler, and soft music is playing on the radio next to him, making people relax and can't help but have an appetite for Chinese New Year's Eve. Chinese Net
"Congratulations, Your Excellency the Distinguished Führer, and on behalf of my Government and Mr. President, I would like to convey my heartfelt congratulations to you and your army on the brilliant victory in Europe."
Wang Tingen raised the wine glass in front of him, the gorgeous crystal cup mouth was inlaid with pure gold lace, and the body of the cup was as pure as ice crystals, engraved with the family emblem of the previous owner, showing off its extraordinary life experience. Its elegant and luxurious shape has made it a work of art, and the special value given to it by history has made people forget the meaning of its birth as a barware.
If it falls into the hands of some collector of antiques, it must be placed in a beautiful glass case, and perhaps with soft and expensive silk upholstery underneath, and its owner will certainly display it in the most conspicuous place for people to see, and it will surely be admired and admired by countless people, bringing its owner infinite satisfaction and honor, and countless jealous glances. But here, it can only be used as an ordinary cup, nothing more, because this is the German Chancellery.
Hitler, who was sitting in front of Wang Tingen, also raised his glass elegantly, because he received a timely suggestion from a distant country, the British and French troops entered the prisoner of war camp built by Germany, and the allied troops that could have withdrawn to Britain could have withdrawn from Britain in history were only less than 170,000 people in the end, and less than 170,000 people finally returned, which made Hitler's favorability of the Chinese Chinese New Year's Eve envoy in front of him Chinese New Year's Eve increased, and today's dinner was a form of Hitler's hint of repayment to Wang Tingen and the Chinese government.
"You seem to be interested in this set of utensils, my Chinese New Year's Eve envoy."
Noticing Wang Tingen's intoxicated expression, Hitler put down the knife in his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him.
"Oh yes, Your Excellency, this set of French tableware is beautiful, and its long history alone is intoxicating." Wang Tingen hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said gently: "For this beautiful set of tableware and for your victory, cheers!" ”
Wang Tingen took a shallow sip of red wine and felt the special enjoyment brought by the aromatic and mellow liquor. As a knowledgeable diplomat, Wang Tingen saw the origin of this set of tools at a glance, and the family emblem on it clearly confessed that this was a French royal court item, and it should be the Si man utensils of the Sun King Louis XIV, which really made Wang Tingen, who loves antiques, a little bit in love.
Feeling that the Chinese New Year's Eve in front of him made him a little absent-minded, Hitler, who thought he understood the other party's heart, smiled and said: "Dear Chinese New Year's Eve envoy, you can rest assured, we Germans have never been bad friends to ourselves, and we will strictly abide by our promises, now that Paris has been declared an undefended city, the German team on Chinese New Year's Eve will soon march into Paris, and the entrance ceremony will be held under the Arc de Triomphe, at which time my promises will be fulfilled one by one, and the cultural relics of your country will also return to the arms of their original owners."
"Thank you very much, honorable Yuan Xiansheng, on behalf of our Chinese government and 450 million compatriots, I thank you again for your generosity." Wang Tingen, who has always been calm, can't help but lose his temper, if the countless gorgeous babies in the Louvre can return to the embrace of the motherland through his hands, history will write a heavy stroke on himself and this glorious deed, and what is more moving for a literati than to leave a name in history.
At this time, there was a sudden noise on the radio next to him, a rustling sound sounded one after another, and before Hitler could frown, a lowered man's voice came from the radio, although the man was in English, but the erudite Wang Tingen and Hitler, who had wandered in Europe in the early years, could still understand Chinese New Year's Eve.
"We must be extremely careful not to overshadow this retreat to victory, for wars are not won by retreat. …… The Germans desperately tried to sink thousands of ships laden with warriors on the sea, but they were repulsed, they were thwarted, and we withdrew the expeditionary force! ……
We will fight to the end. We will fight in France, we will fight at sea and in the Chinese New Year's Eve oceans, we will fight in the air with more and Chinese New Year's Eve more confidence and strength with increasing confidence; We will defend our island at any price. We will fight on the beach; We will fight at the enemy's landing site; We will fight in the fields and in the streets; We will fight in the mountains; We will not surrender"
The adjutant on the side was a little overwhelmed at the beginning of the broadcast, and only after knowing that the broadcast had been broadcast for a while, he hurriedly stepped forward and turned off the radio.
The voice on the radio affected Hitler's appetite, he put down his knife and fork, picked up a snow-white napkin and wiped his mouth, "Mr. Chinese New Year's Eve, you also heard, although the British were forced to roll back to the British Isles, but they did not lose their fighting spirit, Churchill is still calling on the British to fight us on the beach, in the air, in the fields, our German Empire still has a long way to go, so we need the help of friends." ”
Wang Tingen's heart is bright, it seems that it is time to knock on the bamboo again.
At this time, Hitler also felt a little aggrieved and indignant, but whether he wanted to or not, he had to admit that at this time, the manufacturing level of China in some ways had surpassed that of Germany, just like the 'Northwest Tiger' tank, although it had been renamed the 'Leopard' tank by Hitler, but the German Wehrmacht from the generals and marshals to the soldiers knew that this was discovered by the Chinese, and its performance was also vividly demonstrated in Poland, France and other battles.
Simple, reliable, durable, robust, powerful Chinese New Year's Eve and so many other advantages are reflected in it, which is far more powerful than the complex and expensive No. 4 tank designed by the Germans. Not only that, but the 'Stuka' bomber that Huaxia stole from Germany and the ME-109 fighter plane licensed by Germany for production to Huaxia have also improved their performance by a Chinese New Year's Eve after being modified by the Huaxia, which makes Hitler, who claims to have the best scientists in the world, feel embarrassed. But today, Hitler is going to pull down his old face and make a request to Wang Ting'en that he thinks is ugly.
"Mr. Chinese New Year's Eve, I heard that your country has now secretly developed a weapon that can detect aircraft in the air, and has put him into actual combat experience, the name of this weapon is 'radar', is that so?" Hitler raised his glass to hide a hint of discoloration.
"Yes, Yuan Xiansheng was born, but we have developed a kind of detection that can use radio waves, and our army calls them clairvoyance and downwind ears." Both Su Tong and Wang Tingen knew that the weapon of radar would be exposed sooner or later, and it was better to recognize it as soon as possible than to hide and hide.
"This kind of technology is very much needed in Germany at the moment, can you report to your government and sell the technology and physical goods of this radar to our empire?" Now that he had opened his words, Hitler was no longer secretive.
Seeing Wang Tingen's somewhat embarrassed look, Hitler smiled again: "Of course, we naturally can't help but make our friends suffer when we take our friends' tools, and the price is negotiable, and I heard that Your Excellency the President of your country likes antiques more, I can order the imperial team to hand over all the cultural relics of the Louvre to your country after occupying Paris, do you think this is okay?" ”
Wang Tingen was like being smashed on the chest with a giant hammer at this time, and the joy of the giant Chinese New Year's Eve made him almost breathless, but fortunately, the basic diplomatic etiquette of a diplomat had penetrated into his bone marrow, and he forced his body to desperately use a reserved tone and said: "Yuan Xiansheng, I must ask our government for instructions before I can answer you, can I borrow your remote radio station now?" ”
"Of course, dear Mr. Chinese New Year's Eve, my adjutant will take you there." Hitler bowed his head.
Looking at Wang Tingen who walked out of the door, Hitler's smile immediately retracted, he felt a little hated for himself now, he was now bargaining with people like a vendor in a vegetable market, which was different from his arrogant ideals, but the shoes from Huaxia and the intelligence department confessed that now the British have mastered this technology, and the Germans must also master it in response, and now the only country that can provide this technology to the Germans is Huaxia.
Fortunately, Wang Tingen didn't go for a long time, but after less than half a time, Wang Tingen brought the answer to the mystery: "Yuan Xiansheng, on behalf of my government, I am honored to inform you that your request, Mr. President, has agreed in principle, and the radar you need will arrive in French ports with the warship we sent to transport the Louvre's cultural relics, and in return, we only pay 10 million Deutsche marks for this set of radar, do you think this is okay?" ”
Hitler laughed, and he raised his glass again: "Of course, a toast to the friendship between our two countries!" ”
The glass is a fine product, and the wine is not far behind, the real Bordeaux red wine, produced in 1867 at Château Lafite, the best of the best.
The wine glasses of the two made a crisp sound after a slight collision.
Both sides thought they had made a good deal, and Hitler was in a good mood again, and he thought it would be a good deal to be able to exchange the tools of the French, who were not too reluctant to eat or drink, for the radar that the Reich desperately needed. From the perspective of the Chinese side, it is simply a cost-effective thing to be able to welcome back the cultural relics and antiques that were stolen by the French, and to be able to move the entire treasures of the Louvre back to China.
Wang Tingen's mood just now has not calmed down until now, so that the hand holding the exquisite wine glass is trembling slightly
