Chapter 409: Amber Hidden Bee
Dönitz thought for a moment and said, "By this time next year, I will be able to at least ensure that the sea routes of the empire are unblocked. The pen is www.biquge.info and cut off the foreign trade line between Britain and France. ”
Jiang Cheng clapped his hands and said, "That's a great achievement, there was a great emperor in our country in ancient times called Han Gaozu, and he thought that the highest credit was not his marshal or his chief of staff, but his minister in charge of logistics." If you can cut off the logistics line between Britain and France, then Britain and France will lose half, and no matter how bad it is, you can force Britain and France to negotiate peace with the Empire. ”
Dönitz sighed and said, "It's not easy, the training of the submarine force takes time, by the way, your group of young men is good, they study very hard, in the last batch of training ships, the best actually got the second, so that our young men can't help but be impressed, if I didn't ask for secrecy, I'm afraid the whole of Germany would be shocked by these guys." ”
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Don't think about exposing anything, think about it, the relationship between Germany and Japan is good now, if these people let Japan protest, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Führer." ”
Dönitz smiled, pulled Jiang Cheng and said, "Anyway, this is a great victory, let's go, go and celebrate with us." ”
-- Paris
As Germany and the Soviet Union celebrated their victories, the French masses were confused and helpless about the future situation, and they looked to the Élysée Palace, a monument more than 200 years old, from Louis XV to Napoleon to the French Second Republic and now the Third Republic. Today, another important person is here, and the identity of this person can be seen from Daladier's early waiting outside the Elysée Palace, and the reporters around him are gearing up to take a good photo as the headline tomorrow.
Cars came from a distance, the door opened, and a thin old man with gray hair was the prime minister of the most powerful country on the planet at this time, Arthur Neville Chamberlain, Chamberlain looked much older than a year ago, and for more than half a month, he was not less blamed inside and outside the party, thinking that it was because of his repeated forbearance that Germany launched a war, and his heart was also extremely angry at this time, he used to believe in that mustache so much, even when the German army attacked Poland, It was also announced that Britain would assist Germany and Poland in negotiations as long as Germany withdrew from Poland within two days. But in the end, all I got was news of the fall of Warsaw and the entry of the Soviet Union into the war.
Chamberlain looked at Daladier, Daladier nodded to him, the two clasped hands tightly, Britain and France, the two countries that had been fighting for hundreds of years, stood together again in order to deal with Germany, when the two held the freeze frame, all the cameras flashed wildly, everyone believed that as long as Britain and France united, Germany's defeat was only a matter of time.
As is customary, Chamberlain and Daladier spoke a few diplomatic words to the reporter, in the hope that it would contribute to the stability of the situation in Europe, when a reporter asked aloud: "Mr. Chamberlain, I wonder if your arrival means that our British will officially join the war, and our young people will be prepared to shed blood?" ”
Chamberlain thought for a while and said, "This war has started since Germany entered Poland, this war is not our choice, I have made a lot of efforts to prevent this war from coming, but Germany still invaded Poland in the end, but I hope that all the people of Europe and the world can rest assured that Britain and France are still there!" Justice is still there!! ”
A man rushed out and shouted, "Liar! When we Poles were resisting Germany, what about the reinforcements you said? What did you say you were going to war? You bunch of liars!! Our Poland is gone! It's all because of you! Our Poland is dead!! ”
The Pole said as he cried under the crowd of guards, and looked at the Poles who had been dragged away, and Chamberlain and Daladier walked into the Élysée Palace with their heads bowed.
The two sat down in the conference room, the waiter served black tea, and Daladier asked the interpreter to go down, and said in French, "I've been under a lot of pressure lately, I heard that you let that Churchill guy into the cabinet, haven't you always hated him?" ”
Chamberlain took a sip of tea, and his contradictions with Churchill were well known in England, so he did not hide that he said in English: "Churchill's strength was very helpful in this war, and he participated in the last great war." ”
Daladier nodded, both he and Chamberlain were well-educated people who could understand each other's meaning even in their native languages, and Daladier continued: "The situation is dangerous, Germany and the Soviet Union are on the side, which none of us expected. ”
Chamberlain said remorsefully, "Our initial idea was to use Germany to contain the Soviet Union, and also to use the Soviet Union to contain Germany, and as a result... However, after the fall of Poland, Germany and the Soviet Union became neighbors, do you think there may be a contradiction between them? ”
Daladier snorted, "Our French intelligence shows that the railroad between Germany and the Soviet Union is busier than Paris, and countless ores and machine tools are transported between the two countries, and now it is said that Hitler and Stalin are brothers, and I will believe it." ”
Chamberlain nodded and said, "But I still think there is a chance, the ideology of the Soviet Union and Germany is different, and the contradictions between them will break out sooner or later." ”
Daladier said unconcernedly, "This matter is for Stalin to deal with, Mr. Chamberlain, I am concerned about how many troops Britain can send into France, and how many of them are technically equipped?" ”
Chamberlain thought for a while and said, "Britain has not had much standing army since the last war, after all, we are a maritime country, and the recent economic crisis has also had a great impact on our armament, we can only guarantee to mobilize 300,000 people into France to fight in the war within half a year, of which we can support more than 500 aircraft and more than 1,000 cannons, you know, our British army equipment is not much." I would like to know how much strength France is prepared to commit to it, knowing that the German battle for Poland has already shocked all the generals. ”
Daladier lit his cigar and said, "Our situation in France is not good, since the economic crisis of 1930 has now passed ten years, our industry has not recovered, and the political situation is relatively unstable.
Our steel production is not even half of that of your Britain, and our population is only 40 million, we need time to arm our men, according to the experience of the last war, we are ready to directly mobilize a third of the men between the ages of 20 and 45, the number will exceed five million, these people will not be able to train without two years, in addition to technical equipment, in the German Polish campaign we can see that Germany's new equipment is very powerful, And in recent years, although our new equipment in France has been being developed, it has never been mass-produced, which also takes time, as far as the current situation is concerned, our air force has less than 1,500 aircraft, of which less than 15 percent can really participate in the war, many of our tanks are still World War I tanks, and some of our artillery are still 75 miss, so I think what we need most now is not war, but time. ”
Chamberlain nodded and said, "Germany is warming each other with the Soviet Union, but only the Soviet Union cannot meet his industrial needs, I think it can be like this, diplomatically, we will unite Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries to establish a defense line against Germany, and at the same time to win over Denmark, Sweden, and Norway in the north, and the United States outside Europe, to make the Soviet Union and Germany independent, and try to weaken his war potential."
Militarily, we will remain on the defensive for about a year, and we can't go any longer, at most a year, and if it is longer, don't talk about me, I'm afraid you will also be elected by the French people. ”
Daladier clapped his hands and said, "Then it's decided, just one year, and recently, the Czech underground resistance organization has contacted us, hoping that we can support them, isn't the Polish government-in-exile also in your Britain, I think we can form a Czech division and a Polish division, and organize these dead people, after all, the lives of the British and French are extremely precious." ”
Chamberlain did not care about this approach, the two quickly decided on a series of measures against Germany, and on the Maginot Line at the junction of France and Germany, you can see new troops stationed and trained in rotation every day, and more and more fortifications can be built, but there has never been a single gunshot, which makes people look at the impregnable defense line and wonder if Britain and France are going to divide Europe into two halves with Germany, and the famous sit-down war in later generations began.
In the following year, European countries staged one diplomatic drama after another.
In a warehouse in Germany, Jiang Cheng waved his hand, and immediately two guards stepped forward and forcefully lifted the covered oilcloth, and one after another famous paintings, handicrafts and antiques were presented in front of Jiang Cheng.
Chen Nan pointed to these things and said, "Boss, according to your orders, General Guderian and General Goering have collected all these things they can collect, a total of 1,200 boxes, you see, this is Chopin's manuscript before the Warsaw Uprising, and the most precious thing is probably this."
As he spoke, Chen Nan opened a box, and magical yellow light emerged.
Jiang Cheng stepped forward and saw one after another yellow stone-like things of different sizes, Jiang Cheng picked one up, his hand felt warm, and he couldn't help but say, "This is amber?" ”
Chen Nan nodded and said, "This is sent by Mr. Goering, you see, these are amber with seeds and insects in them, I took a look, the insects in them are relatively complete, and most of the amber is golden amber." Mr. Goering said it was to thank you for your support of the Air Force. ”
Jiang Cheng smiled, he knew that Goering was talking about the Airborne Forces, this time he showed his big face, and actually gave Jiang Cheng such a big feedback, which made Jiang Cheng look at Goering with admiration, but Jiang Cheng also understood that this time it was Goering's troops who advanced Warsaw, I am afraid that he did not take any of these things.
Jiang Cheng said, "Okay, these things are all here, I'm going to take them away, you and the others go back first." ”
Chen Nan adhered to the principle of never knowing what he shouldn't know, and happily prepared to leave with people.
Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered something, knocked on his head, took out a piece of paper and said, "Wait a minute, you put this away, forge some things and let the Soviet Union dispose of these people, by the way, you can guide the Soviet Union to think that this has something to do with Trotsky and Yan'an." ”
Of course, Chen Nan knew the relationship between himself and Yan'an, and looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise.
Jiang Cheng smiled and blinked and said, "Go ahead and do it." ”
Chen Nan snorted and left without speaking.
Waiting for Chen Nan immediately, Jiang Cheng took a breath, a flash flashed in his mind, a force burst out from the dantian, a huge pressure made Jiang Cheng feel a little out of breath, half a day was fine, and then looked around, he had returned to modern Shanghai, and said in a gargarg, "Twenty-one meters, you can transport the battleship if you go on like this." ”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "When can I transport an aircraft carrier, I will be happy, anyway, it's so inconvenient for me to have this spherical shape to the back, it's getting higher and higher, and things can't be stacked so high, it's really a waste." ”
Gallagher rolled his eyes and said, "Don't complain, I can't adjust this thing right now, just make do with it." ”
Jiang Cheng walked out of the basement with the box full of amber, came to the room, and found that it was still daytime, and there was no one at home, Jiang Cheng put his things away, took a shower and cleaned up, and then turned on his mobile phone to call Yu Na.
"Hey, Nana, are you busy today? Yes, I'm back, okay, then I'll prepare some food, you can ask Sun Ning to eat together. ”
When night fell, Jiang Cheng heard a knock on the door, and Yu Na and Sun Ning walked in together.
Jiang Cheng looked at the two dressed as white-collar workers, only felt a burst of happiness, stepped forward and held their hands and said, "The meal is ready, let's eat, this time I brought a gift, you can take a look." ”
After a full meal, Jiang Cheng opened the amber box, Sun Ning stood up with a bang, picked up a piece, shone it at the light, and said in disbelief, "Amber Tibetan bee?" So much? It's all so big and the quality is so good? Whose house did you raid? ”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "A friend gave it to you and played with it, by the way, how about the information you gave you last time?" Is there anything you have to say from the company's technical department? ”
Yu Na looked at them one by one, and put aside what she liked from time to time, Sun Ning said, "Your friend is indeed a genius, solving a lot of our theoretical puzzles, now we have made the design drawings, and the test site is also under construction, why don't you go and see it tomorrow?" ”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, wow, our company's business should be good now, I searched for the news in the afternoon, and there is a lot of news about our company." ”
Sun Ning shook his hand and said, "It's just a promotional advertorial, our domestic situation is very good, but abroad, many foreign countries are spreading rumors that our technology is not safe, and it involves monopoly, and the United States requires us to come out with all the technical formulas, so that their departments can only enter the market after testing, so we ignore them."
