Chapter 574: The Dust Settles: Europe Joins the Empire
November 30, 1950, Imperial Hanjing.
Escorted by two police cars, a black Chinese car drove out of the Imperial Hotel, and in the car sat Hitler, the top leader of the European Federation who was secretly visiting China.
"Although I have seen Chinese Yanjing many times in photos and on TV, I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes, it is still shocking."
Hitler turned sideways slightly, looked at the bustling Hanjing outside, and sighed with emotion.
It is no longer appropriate to describe Hanjing in terms of busy traffic.
The wide roads, dense vehicles, and the pavements lined with shops on both sides of the street are full of flowers. There are many high-rise buildings, which are not at all comparable to Berlin, and even the clothes on the pedestrians are full of fashion and flamboyance.
In Berlin, only some wealthy people can afford to wear these styles, while in China, even cheap clothes, pay attention to quality and style design.
Hitler, who had visited a certain part of Africa, felt that Europe and Africa were like two planets, and today this feeling has become a huge gap between Berlin and Hanking.
He had tried countless times to make the Germanic people the most powerful and invincible people on the planet, but although he finally unified Europe and achieved unprecedented feats, it was with the help of the Chinese.
He knew very well that if it had not been for the rapid rise of China, which changed the course of World War II, he would probably not be the head of the European Federation now, but a loser who disappeared into the long river of history.
From the very beginning, the Chinese were weak and bullied, and then rose strongly, dominated Asia, and finally pointed the sword at the world, fighting the Soviet Union and the Americans and retreating.
Now the whole planet is already under the absolute shroud of the Chinese, and no one can resist and no one can disobey.
Whenever he recalled on TV, at the Chinese Space Force military parade, those mighty interstellar warships, those spaceships like science fiction, those robot teams, and those laser weapons that were so powerful that they would make people have nightmares, have reached unattainable heights.
However, what you see on TV, what you see in the newspapers, and what you see in intelligence is not as shocking as when you come to this country and see it all in person.
Chinese can get some super-civilized weapons and equipment such as starships through the relics of civilization and through the help of aliens, but the little changes in society, the progress of civilization, and the leapfrog development of science and technology and industry are "...... Xiuxiu"
At this moment, when the small convoy passed through a block, there was a slight halt in traffic, especially pedestrians, many of whom were looking up at the sky, and Hitler also looked up, only to see a few small flying objects flying quickly between the high-rise buildings that covered the sky.
"Leo, what is this?"
Hitler turned around and asked the European ambassador to China, Leo.
Leo straightened his body, looked at the sky, and said enviously, "FΓΌhrer, this is a new verification type flying car launched by the Chinese, which is a Chinese X-type flying car launched by the famous Shusheng Company.
The surname can be very advanced, they claim that this is to test the actual use of flying cars in the city, maybe a propaganda means, not to mention that the Chinese see them, even I, an outsider, see them, are envious. β
When modern cities, skyscrapers, and urban speeds are combined, Hanking's urban development level will take a big step forward.
Under Hitler's gaze, the seven or eight flying cars moved between the high-rise buildings with extreme agility, sometimes lowering in height, sometimes rising into the sky, and what was particularly shocking was that on some particularly tall floors, there were some platforms that had just been built.
Some of the staff involved in the test, standing on the platform, looking like ants from the street, the test staff stood on the fully enclosed waiting platform, waiting for the flying car to stop over, directly connected to the waiting platform, and boarded the process safely, which was breathtaking.
"This is the city of the future, with taller buildings, more complex urban buildings, layered traffic patterns, complex but modern traffic, and maybe Berlin can have such a day......"
Immersed in all this, Hitler knew that as long as Europe joined the Chinese Empire, sooner or later it would also develop by leaps and bounds.
The Chinese are not a narrow nation, and although it is inevitable that the Chinese nation is the foundation, priority, and priority of care, the overall economic development of the empire will also lead to the development of other regions.
Whether it is Europe or the future Americas, the Chinese will not be particularly favoritive, the only difference is to see who joins first, who will have priority access to the huge benefits brought by the economic take-off of the Chinese Empire.
This is a development opportunity that is far greater than seizing the development opportunity of industrial civilization, which is equivalent to seizing the opportunity of the age of space and discovery.
Thinking about it all the way, the convoy has entered Hanjing Mountain, turning around, at least in terms of area, it is countless times larger than the federal political axe center in Europe.
That solemn atmosphere, solemn soldiers, and even the air seemed to exude the breath of a great power, Hitler took a deep breath, and after tidying up for half an hour, in the north hall of Hanjing Mountain, Zhang Shusheng, accompanied by Zhou Guolai and others, met with Hitler, the supreme leader of the European Federation, and his party.
There are not many people on the European side, Hitler, Ambassador Leo, in addition to the head of the negotiating delegation Donas and an assistant to the head of state, four people, and the Chinese side is Zhang Shusheng, Zhou Guolai, Space Force Commander Dai Anlan, Mao Yunxian.
According to Dai Anlan's attendance at the meeting, it is also to reflect the biggest hole card of the empire today, the Space Force.
During the talks, Zhang Shusheng and Hitler had a decent meeting, first reviewing the traditional friendship between China and Germany and the continuous development of Sino-European bilateral relations, and the two men had the same opinion.
Both sides believe that both China and Germany and China and Europe have always maintained good alliance-level relations, and now that they are geographically bordered and bilateral trade is booming, they have the conditions to go further.
Next, the two sides affirmed the progress made in the negotiations face-to-face and conducted a secret agreement.
While the formal signing of the agreement will take place later, the secret agreement will serve as a commitment by both parties.
Of course, the two sides also communicated face-to-face on some issues encountered in the negotiations and reached a basic agreement.
The whole meeting lasted almost four hours, during which there was even a buffet, and the talks were finally completed in the afternoon.
After the meeting, Hitler did not leave in a hurry, as if he was not tired at all, and walked in the garden with Zhang Shusheng.
"Mr. Hitler, history will show that it will be a great blend. Starting from the integration of the Eastern and Western nations, the integration process of the great nations of the earth has begun. β
Zhang Shusheng turned his head sideways and saw Hitler's white hair, his vitality was already relatively weak, even at the meeting just now, Zhang Shusheng solemnly presented Hitler and his party with a life gene medicine, but with Hitler's current physique, he would live for more than 20 years at most.
If he is lucky, he may still be able to see the harmony of the great nations of the earth, and if he is unlucky, it can only be an expectation.
"First of all, Mr. President, thank you for your gift of the Elixir of Life, and I am sincerely pleased to be one of the first leaders of the European region to receive the gift.
From the perspective of the development of civilization, the integration of nations is an inevitable trend, and the formation of a great nation on the earth is also conducive to the development of the entire earth in the future.
It was precisely with this in mind that I decided to integrate the whole of Europe into the family of the Chinese Empire. β
Hitler said with emotion, "History has proven that the respect of the strong is suitable for any historical period." In the past, the means of governance were backward, the transportation was underdeveloped, and the transmission of information was too slow, which made it very difficult to rule the vast territory, but now, all this will not be a problem, and the Chinese Empire, with its great power, will easily achieve global domination.
Although our integration is still in a highly confidential stage, I will guarantee that Europe will actively cooperate with the work of the EU-China Integration Process Committee and make preliminary preparations. β
Zhang Shusheng smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Hitler for his great contribution to the earth's civilization, which will surely go down in history." I think two months is enough time for us to complete the preliminary work, and when the news is announced, China and Europe will collectively rejoice. β
The two talked a little more, and according to the negotiations, Hitler and other magnates would withdraw from the stage of history after the fusion, but as compensation, they would receive some covert support from the Reich.
For example, Hitler would join the Supreme Council of Power of the Reich in the form of an informal member, an honorary member, and his family would be recognized by the Reich.
Their assets will also be protected, and the companies they have established or supported will be taken care of after the completion of the Sino-European integration.
The shift from political to economic interests would have little impact on the empire and its people, but it would allow them to live and work in peace, at least without the loss of power and the reduction of future generations to civilians.
Zhang Shusheng also knew that it was impossible to completely deprive them of their rights and interests, and even if they were captured by force, it would be difficult to completely take away the wealth that belonged to them.
What the Reich needed was a stable and cooperative Europe, especially in the transition phase, where it didn't matter if they were promised a little bit of a small profit.
On December 1, 1950, when the first phase of the Reich's starry sky tour officially began, the media in Europe began to advocate great integration and the reunification of Central Europe, and a small number of opposing voices were suppressed by Hitler with iron and blood.
China and Europe did not announce the slightest news about reaching a negotiation, but as Europe began to discuss joining the Chinese Empire, the public opinion of the empire also joined in, discussing the pros and cons, and the whole general trend could not be reversed, just waiting for the one-month preparation period in the negotiation schedule to pass, and wait for Zhang Shusheng to return to Earth and officially announce Europe's accession to the Chinese Empire.
On December 1, 1950, 5,000 tourists from all over the country gathered at the Hanjing spaceport to prepare to board the ship, which was also the last propaganda campaign before Zhang Shusheng's civilization contact program began.
