Before Song Biao's visit to Germany, the empire's foreign minister Gu Weijun also ended his visit to Iran and went to Afghanistan for new negotiations, and there was no suspense about the establishment of the Asian Cooperation Alliance, and the empire built an iron triangle with Almaty, Hong Kong and Yanjing respectively, as the three fulcrums of the empire's Asian alliance strategy, around which West Asia and Southeast Asia were merged together and orbited around the empire.

When the empire gradually revived to the world's first level in the military, economic, and technological fields, the empire also began to pursue a new way in the political field, re-establishing the new rules of the king of Asia.

Asia is China's Asia, and that's indisputable.

…… On the last night of Warsaw, the historical name of Eastern Europe, Song Biao had confirmed Artur. General Maltos accepted the agreement reached by the head of state, Pilsudski, to succeed him in charge of the army and become president of Poland after his death, until then, the pro-Chinese and pro-French factions of the Polish army controlled by General Maltos would maintain their original support for Pilsudski until Pilsudski's death.

General Maltos did this precisely because Pilsudski was too ill to live long, and there was no need for him to risk a new military coup.

In the evening, before preparing to leave Warsaw, Song Biao refused General Maltos' request for another secret talk.

Although the friendship was strong, Song Biao was reluctant to draw the empire into the whirlpool of Poland, which needed to maintain stricter neutrality. General Martos's ability, but did not believe that Poland could withstand the German attack, even with Artur. The leadership of General Martos.

Before leaving, Song Biao consciously stayed at the Warsaw railway station for a while, sitting in the waiting hall, away from the surrounding Poles, he silently thought for a long time, about Europe, about the new world war, about the future of China, everything seemed to be an unsolvable mystery.

History is already uncontrollable.

He couldn't predict either.

It is difficult to say whether the Soviet Union will form an alliance with Germany, everything is possible, but from the current point of view, it may be that the surname is gradually shrinking, and China does not want to see such a situation, and continues to work for the separation of the Soviet Union and Germany.

Song Biao longed for World War II on a certain level, eager to take the opportunity to defeat the Soviet Red Army once again, but he also felt more and more that the possibility of war between the Soviet Union and the empire was getting lower and lower, whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, he could not answer.

As the time approached, Song Biao stood up and prepared to go to his special train, officially waving his hand to leave the world of Eastern Europe and this haunting period of human history.

He is gone, and the future here will belong to Germany and the Soviet Union, which has never really had anything to do with China.

At the moment when he stood up, Chen Jiayou, a first-class chamberlain, accompanied Lu Zhengxiang into the hall with a hurried and nervous expression, and walked towards the emperor, the two of them ran almost all the way, looking panicked, which made the emperor feel a little surprised.

Running in front of the emperor, Lu Zhengxiang couldn't wait to hurriedly hand the telegram book in his hand to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, there are changes in Southeast Asia. ”

Song Biao was even more strange, he couldn't say that there were any variables in Southeast Asia at this time.

After receiving the telegram book, Song Biao opened it and found that it was an urgent telegram from Ouyang Geng, the premier of the Imperial Cabinet, that the South Pacific detachment of the Dutch Navy had collided with a destroyer of the Dutch Navy in the Banda Sea, causing a certain number of casualties of the Dutch Navy.

On the grounds that the Netherlands had violated the treaty, the Dutch navy withdrew from the Moluccas and the surrounding waters.

What the hell is this?

Song Biao couldn't figure out how the Dutch Navy could be there, how could the Ben Navy be there, where was such a coincidence, in the vast sea area of nearly 500 kilometers, would two warships collide for no reason?

Song Biao had a headache.

After the Indonesian turmoil, the Netherlands once transferred the main navy to Dutch Indonesia, because the force was indeed too small to provoke the Dutch and Chinese navies, basically deployed in Jakarta, Java Island, almost never had any conflict with the Nakben navy, in order to prevent the Dutch navy from continuing to provoke the Netherlands, the imperial navy deliberately kept a patrol detachment in Makassar, isolating the Dutch and the Nakben navy on both sides of the Banda Sea.

In fact, since the end of the Indonesian turmoil, the friction between the Imperial South Pacific Fleet and the Imperial Navy has not been interrupted, just because of the rapid rise of the Imperial Navy's strength, the Navy does not dare to turn small things into big things.

Song Biao couldn't figure out what was going on with the Netherlands and Yueben, and the two big countries of China and Britain worked hard to settle this matter, but it didn't hurt enough? Do we have to completely push the Sino-French and British alliances to the point of world war?

How can it be!

If you don't weigh your own weight, are you qualified to go to war for you?

Song Biao was very unhappy, coldly handed over the telegram book to Lu Zhengxiang, and instructed: "Call back to the prime minister, let him deal with this matter calmly, and at the same time let the navy step up its defense, and the main force of the Southern Fleet will be stationed in Brunei just in case." ”

After saying this, he thought about it carefully, and always had a premonition that things would get worse, because unlike before the signing of the Indonesian Entente, at this time, the country had already completed the change from the cabinet and the military to the military hegemony, and the country had completely entered the rampage of militarism in the intensification of the Indonesian incident.

Although it is only roughly the same as Italy in terms of the country's total economic output, after all, it has a naval strength second only to Britain and the United States, and if it were not for the fear of the strength of the Chinese army and air force, with the impulsive militaristic fanaticism of the country, I am afraid that the war would have started against the Chinese navy long ago.

Therefore, even if the Chinese navy continues to stand between Ben and the Netherlands, it will not necessarily be able to stop the situation from deteriorating.

Therefore, big countries really can't support small countries, and it is easy to pull themselves into the abyss, just like the United States in the 21st century to support the Philippines is always very insidiously dodging, no one wants to toss out of a world war, otherwise it is really a catastrophe.

The republic is too rational and not strong enough, otherwise the shadow of a nuclear war would have hung over Asia long ago.

Song Biao also sighed when he thought of this, and instructed Chen Jiayou: "Send a telegram to the military headquarters, prepare for war, don't take it lightly, go all out to be on guard, and make preparations for transferring the Northeast Air Force south to the Pyongyang area again." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Jiayou nodded solemnly.

Song Biao's face was gloomy, and on the platform outside the train station, Polish Prime Minister Mošićcki was coming to see him off, but he was in a terrible mood, and he suddenly felt that his patience with Yuben had reached the limit.

He is not the kind of person who would pursue a policy of appeasement all the time.

If you think that the world is afraid of war, only they are not afraid of war, and they can do whatever they want to intimidate those countries that do not want to go to war, then they are very wrong, the Netherlands really can't afford to fight, but it doesn't mean that China can't afford to fight this war.

Just right.

Song Biao suddenly became as ruthless as he was when he was young, gritting his teeth and thinking, just right...... Fucking tear up the Washington Treaty, although there are still two years to get through it, but he doesn't want to be patient anymore, it's time to teach Ben a good lesson.

In such a fierce mood, Song Biao walked out of the train station, quietly shook hands with the Polish prime minister and said goodbye, boarded his special train to continue his visit to Germany.

No one can understand this.

Song Biao can only understand half of it, perhaps in the eyes of the military, it is the best moment, because Song Biao's round-the-world journey, the two Yuzhou-class battleships of the Imperial Northern Fleet and a mixed fleet composed of a number of cruisers and destroyers are visiting Europe, and when Song Biao arrives in Germany, the Imperial Northern Fleet will also arrive in Hamburg to visit, taking advantage of this opportunity to show Europe the new face of the Imperial Navy.

It's good, it's ingenious.

He thought that this was a very good opportunity, the main forces of the Emperor and the Imperial Navy were in Europe, and the far water could not save the near fire.

Fight and fight, seize this opportunity to establish the Empire's naval supremacy, and prove to the Asian countries that the Empire also has the world's first-class navy, which is sufficient to guarantee the security of these small countries, as long as they accept the terms of the Empire and join the Asian Cooperation Alliance.

Song Biao took a special train to Berlin, the capital of Germany, and departed this evening and will arrive in Berlin at 9 a.m. tomorrow to pay a formal visit to Germany as a head of state.

Song Biao continued to command the Imperial Central Military Headquarters to respond quickly in this train, and granted the command of the Navy to Chen Houfu, Chief of Staff of the Navy, who temporarily dispatched the fleet to assemble at the Bandar Seri Begawan Naval Base, all the submarine fleets went to sea, and all four aircraft carriers of the Empire were also transferred to the Bandar Seri Begawan Naval Base.

Fight and fight, what is there to be afraid of, the Chinese have never been afraid of war, just fight and reinvent the wheel.

He thinks he is smart.

With the strength of the empire today, does it still take the Song Emperor to personally go into battle to deal with a small one, is it really a war, and only the emperor in the whole country has the prestige to lead thousands of troops and horses?

At 8:20 a.m. the next day, the Emperor's Oriental Monarch No. 3 special train slowly drove into the Berlin railway station.

The relationship between China and the Soviet Union is very special, full of contradictions, hostility and exchanges, so the Song Emperor did not get the respect and special courtesy he deserved in Moscow, and it was different in Germany and Poland, especially in Germany, it was the second person in Nazi Germany who was responsible for the whole reception, Speaker of the National Assembly, Herman. Major General Goering.

Herman. Goering, apparently receiving special advice from Hitler, made the welcome very warm, and deliberately publicized that it was a meeting between the two leaders of the East and the West.

The Reichstag Arson Act was passed, and Hitler banned all non-Nazi political parties in Germany, officially becoming the only political party in Germany. Goering was in fact the Minister of Law of Nazi Germany, responsible for the enactment of all laws, as well as for the adoption of all policies and budgets that the Nazis wanted to pass.

At the Berlin railway station, there were not only a large number of German nationals who came to welcome them, but also tens of thousands of Nazi Party stormtroopers. Under Goering's leadership, all the members of the Nazi Party raised their hands and saluted, and the uniformity of the formation made people feel an indescribable sense of fear, and their solemn salute to the Führer was a testament to the German admiration for the Emperor.

Although they were in different camps in World War I, China and France are still strong and inseparable alliances even today, but Emperor Song's repeated friendly special care for Germany still won the unanimous respect of Germany.

In the past many years, it was at the insistence of the Song Emperor that the empire not only forgave most of Germany's war reparations to China, but also provided Germany with some loan aid, just like the United States, but this amount was only small compared to the United States.

Song Biao also changed into a gray-blue military dress and black marshal of the Supreme Commander of the Emperor [***] today, the rank and epaulettes of the Generalissimo of the Reich were extremely shining, and when he got off the train, after the Nazi party members saluted collectively, the tall Herman. Speaker Goering also stepped forward and led dozens of welcoming officials and members of parliament to bow deeply to Song Biao, paying the highest respect according to the standards of imperial etiquette.

Compared with the Soviet Union, the Germans have achieved an unparalleled degree of etiquette, which can be described as solemn and honorable.

Of course, Germany also has a lot of Chinese knowledge, and they still know a lot about the Chinese Empire, and their analysis is in place, and they know very well what etiquette means to China, a country of etiquette.

In Hermann. After Speaker Goering calmed down, Song Biao raised his hand and shook hands with him, who took the initiative and excitedly greeted him, and said: "It's a pleasure to meet you here, and I'm glad that the new German Empire is in the midst of a new revival." ”

The two sides give each other faces.

This is the case with people and countries.

If you respect me, I will respect you.

Herman. Speaker Goering was even more excited, holding Emperor Song's hand and reluctant to let go, there were many things that the Soviet Union was unwilling to admit, or even actively deny, but for the German Nazis who were in the midst of anti-Soviet **, Emperor Song led the Chinese Central Defense Army to smash the momentum of the Soviet Red Army in one fell swoop is simply the idol and worship direction they admire the most.

As a soldier, especially a soldier who participated in World War I, whether in Europe, Asia, or the Americas, there are few people who do not admire Song Biao, the only remaining supreme commander after World War I.

There were only a few supreme commanders in World War I, and Song Biao was one of the nominal commanders, similar to President Hindenburg, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Front before returning to China.

Although Song Biao only defeated the Austro-Hungarian Army in World War I, there was nothing remarkable, but as the most famous military commander at that time, he commanded several large-scale battles in World War I, and the large-scale attack of the thousands of miles and the flank were the tactics most commonly used by Song Biao.

As a soldier, if you study the battles that Song Biao has fought in his life, except for the Liberation Revolution and the elimination of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is really not an equal battle, every other battle can be called a model of the world's classic battles, and each battle is the focus of the research of various [***] schools.

In particular, Song Biao's great flash in the Xinhai War can be said to have pointed out the direction for the First World War and the German army.

Herman. Speaker Goering is like this, he really admires His Majesty the Emperor of China, including Hitler, and his admiration for the Song Emperor is also incomparable, so the Song Emperor chose to visit Germany immediately after the German Nazis ruled Germany, which is simply a high honor in the eyes of the German Nazis.

Herman. Speaker Goering couldn't wait to kiss the back of Song Biao's hand, he was so excited that he was almost a little incoherent, and after speaking for a long time, he warmly exclaimed: "Your Majesty, great Emperor Hua, please allow me to extend the warmest welcome to you on behalf of the Prime Minister and the Nazi Party, as well as all the German people. ”

Song Biao humbly thanked him: "Thank you for your welcome." ”

Herman. Goering said: "This is what we should do, to be able to meet and be responsible for receiving such a great you, it will be a great adventure that I will never forget." ”

Song Biao smiled and motioned to Herman. Speaker Goering can leave the train station and head to the Reichstag. Only then did Goering hurriedly arrange the vehicle and use two Mercedes-Benz sedans to open the way for Song Biao to greet him.

Just before getting into the car, Song Biao left Shu Fangde, who accompanied him, and gave a few simple instructions.

All this was arranged, and in a few hours, an FD-35 of Eastern International Airlines would fly from Paris to Berlin to carry Schuffond, the chief of the Inner Court, back to his homeland.

Shu Fangde is not a very talented person, but as the only air force general in the empire and a member of the Shu family, he has served as the minister of the imperial army and air force for a long time, and has made indelible long-term and important contributions to the construction of the emperor's affairs. He did not hesitate to break out into war to stop the expansion of the book.

In the itinerary of Emperor Song's visit to Germany, an afternoon was also temporarily set aside to meet with the British and Dutch ministers in Germany and to have a direct exchange on the Banda Sea incident. Hitler's meeting will also be moved to the evening, while Adolf. Hitler also expressed positive understanding of this.

After arriving in Germany, Song Biao will visit Germany for three days, during which he was arranged by the German political axe to stay in the Prussian Imperial Palace in Berlin, Germany, and after the Hohenzollern family was expelled from the German throne and the seat of the Prussian king, the Hohenzollern family still retained the ownership of the Prussian Imperial Palace in Berlin, and in the requisition of the palace for the reception of the Chinese emperor, Crown Prince Wilhelm and the Hohenzollern family also supported it.

In terms of the relationship between the royal family alone, the Song royal family and the Hohenzollerns had many close contacts after the First World War, and the Song royal family had always been interested in supporting the Hohenzollerns to regain their position as Prussian kings.

On the morning of the first day after arriving in Germany, Emperor Song first met with President Hindenburg, who at this time still had the special authority and prestige of being the "emperor's agent" in Germany, but in fact had been overturned by the Nazi Party and the Wehrmacht, and the talks between Emperor Song and Hindenburg were only symbolic.

In the two-hour meeting, Emperor Song and President Hindenburg talked about the past, present and future of China and Germany, as well as German-French relations and the economic crisis of the Great Depression.

After the talks, Song Biao was in Herman. Göring was accompanied by the arrival of the Imperial Palace in Berlin, Germany, where he temporarily stayed under the auspices of Hermann. Goering and Crown Prince Wilhelm hosted a special welcome banquet for him and the royal family of Soong, and during the afternoon break, Soong Biao would spare two hours to meet with British and Dutch diplomats.

…… Indonesia is a land of a thousand islands.

It is a paradise for pirates, especially the Moluccas, in western Indonesia, where the numerous islands provide a natural base for pirates, who come from many sources, including themselves and Chinese, as well as local natives and even the Dutch.

It's a very strange place.

In 1929, during the first Indonesian Rebellion, the Chinese Empire suppressed the expansionism of the British and kept the Dutch colony of Dutch Indonesia under its colonial rule, while keeping the Dutch colonial right in Dutch Indonesia.

The reason why the empire wanted to do this was to find more colonies of immigrants, and secondly, to put it between the Netherlands and the Netherlands to block the expansion of the Lord's navy, but this was not enough, because the Dutch still held ownership of the Moluccasa and the western part of the island of New Guinea, while the Zoben held the right to occupy Sorong, the best natural naval port in Indonesia.

The conflict between Ben and the Dutch navy may still exist.

The Netherlands was extremely cautious about this, because its poor navy was no match for the South Pacific detachment, not to mention the entire navy, which was ranked the third strongest in the world, and basically did not have a fleet in western New Guinea and the Moluccas, and it was almost equivalent to giving this area to the jurisdiction of the Zoben.

It is difficult for the Dutch to understand that the greed of the Zoben is endless, and that the control of the region in the real sense is not satisfying.

There are always many surprises, and the Dutch naval fleet in Jakarta sent a destroyer to escort the fleet of a Dutch company-controlled nickel and gold mine on the island of Serain, south of the Moluccas, which produced nickel ore and a small amount of gold.

Now I don't know what the reason is, this destroyer sailed in the wrong direction and entered the Banda Islands area in the western part of the Banda Sea, there is no surprise, there happens to be a light cruiser of the Honhonki Navy patrolling here, whether the Dutch Navy fired first, or whether the Benben Navy fired first, this is also a fog.

The Dutch Navy secretly briefed China and Britain on the situation by claiming that it had not opened fire and was sunk by the cruiser Kawauchi of the Navy, and the Navy also sent a notice to the naval departments of China, Britain, and the United States at about the same time, claiming that it was the Navy that had collided during the alert and expulsion process, which caused the destroyer of the Dutch Navy to sink, and claimed that it was the Dutch Navy that fired first.

It doesn't matter what the specific situation is, the question now is how to deal with it, both China and Britain hope that the Netherlands and the Netherlands will be restrained, especially the hope that the Ben will be restrained, according to the reason, the Netherlands is the country with deep bitterness, but the world powers have been accustomed to the crazy and unreasonable provocative posture of the Ben, everyone knows very well that the Ben is currently actively seeking expansion, and any opportunity, even if it is not an opportunity, is also very important to the Ben.

The Netherlands is now very angry, and there is still a strong sense of dignity as a Caucasian country in Europe, and it demands that China and Britain, as well as other countries in the international community, uphold justice and demand compensation.

The situation is confusing.

kendari.

The empire conducted extensive and long-term expeditions in the Indonesian region, and finally found only two world-class naval natural harbors, one is Sorong and the other is Kendari.

The empire has also been operating and investing in this area for more than a decade, and the Chinese here call this place "Sioux City", that is, "the city on the island of Sulawesi", and the two cities of Makassar and Palu are the most concentrated areas of the Chinese population.

Unlike Makassar and White Deer, Sioux City Port has a deeper sea area, with a sea depth of more than 60 meters when leaving the port, and with the closed port, the mouth is small and the interior is large, making it the Empire's largest submarine naval base in the South Pacific.

After the telegram was issued, all fourteen submarines moored here sailed out of the harbor and around the waters of the Moluccas.

In overseas provinces and colonies, the empire has no patrol force, and the imperial navy will be responsible for the patrol and vigilance work at the same time, and the Sioux City Naval Base is equipped with four S-10 large patrol planes developed on the basis of the SE-35 passenger aircraft, which have a range of more than 2,500 kilometers and can reconnoiter the entire western waters of Indonesia after taking off from the Sioux City Naval Base after being converted into a city patrol aircraft.

S is the meaning of the conveyor in the Empire, and it is also the unified designation of all transport aircraft in the Empire, and the patrol aircraft is based on the S series with the suffix number "ZC", which stands for reconnaissance.

Like most of the Empire's patrol aircraft, the S-10ZC is armed with four 25mm Browning cannons and can strafe pirates and small ships at low altitudes to suppress pirates and smugglers.

In addition to the S-10ZC large patrol aircraft, the Sioux City Naval Base is equipped with a regiment of marines and 22 seaplanes, in response to the tension in the region, the Imperial Navy's Sioux City Base is exhausted, and the South Pacific Naval Headquarters Aviation Regiment deployed in Kalimantan also urgently dispatched a fleet of aircraft to the Sioux City Naval Base to support, and the Imperial Air Force also sent two combat regiments to Sulawesi.

In the port of Sioux City, planes roared and flew in droves, new fighters were constantly being drawn from other defense areas, and fighters were constantly taking off to guard and patrol the waters of Moluca.

By the evening of August 27, 1933, in just 24 hours, the number of submarines sent by the Reich to this sea area had reached 27, and as many as 13 large patrol planes maintained a high load of vigilance and reconnaissance throughout the sea area, and carried out comprehensive monitoring of the Dutch navy, which can also be said to be a stern warning to curb the deterioration of the situation.

It was under this special circumstance that Song Biao met with German Chancellor Adolf at the Imperial Palace in Berlin. Hitler meeting.

(To be continued)
