Matsuoka knew that he was going to bargain, so he nodded and said, "We in Japan want to have the area north of the Red River, and give Hanoi, Haiphong, and Cam Ranh Bay to the Japanese Navy for training and docking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Reival immediately replied, "It is not appropriate to have it, but we in France are allowed to enter, and we understand Japan's desire and determination to build a new order in East Asia, but we also hope that Japan will respect France's interests and historical position in East Asia." ”

I still want to save face.

Hitler nodded and said, "Very well, then it is decided!" Japan could enter Vietnam, but the army had to be strictly controlled under 50,000 men and no military maneuvers against the French were allowed. France must understand Japan's needs, and it must not attack or retaliate against Japan. We in Germany hope that nothing unpleasant will happen between the two countries, and I think what we should do is cooperation, not struggle, what do you say? ”

Matsuoka nodded right and replied, "We are willing to accept such mediation, but we also want to have military access, as we all know, our Great Japanese Empire is at war with China, and we need to use Vietnam to attack and encircle China." ”

Hitler thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but the French will not join the attack on China." ”

Reival also immediately replied: "Your will is the will of France." ”

Sycophants are good.

"Your Excellency, I have some other foreign affairs that I would like to exchange diplomatic views with you." Matsuoka Yoshi

Hitler hummed, raised his hand to Reival and said, "Then please go and rest first." ”

Reival shrugged and left, a puppet government's foreign minister really didn't have much right to speak.

When Reival left, Hitler looked at Matsuoka and asked, "I wonder if you have any new ideas?" ”

Matsuoka Yoyoshi stood up and bowed to Hitler, and said, "On behalf of the Japanese Empire, I would like to sign an alliance with your country to help each other and jointly maintain peace in Europe and Asia. ”

Hitler shook his head and said, "Don't we already have an international pact against the Red Army?" ”

Matsuoka looked at Hitler and smiled, "But if we attack the Soviet Union now, will Germany support it?" The reality is that this agreement is no longer suitable for our current international situation, and we would prefer to have an alliance with the nature of a military alliance, which we believe will be beneficial to all of us. ”

Hitler squinted at Matsuoka Yoyo, the alliance between Japan and Germany is indeed a long-term demand of Japan, and what Hitler needs to consider is the consequences of doing so, especially if Japan and Germany form an alliance, what will the Soviet Union think, and now he is not ready to attack the Soviet Union.

Hitler looked around and asked, "I would like to know what you Japan is going to do in the future, you have been at war with China, and you have proposed the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, I would like to know what common interests we have in Germany after the alliance with you Japan?" Also, what exactly does your so-called co-prosperity circle consist of? You should know that France was defeated by us, and logically all the interests of all his colonies should also have a share of our Germany, and now... But you are taking the profits, and I think you need to explain this to us as well! ”

Matsuoka Yoyoshi said with understanding, "The scope of our Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is not large, but only East Asia, so it naturally includes French Indochina and the Dutch East Indies. It is true that Japan is expanding, and what country that is expanding has not taken a knife at its neighbors? Ask the Amerindians and Mexicans how the young United States of America brutally tortured them years ago. So war is not what we want, but a helpless choice.

There are natural conditions for the alliance between Germany, Italy and Japan, and the most important thing is that we did not have any overseas territories before the war, which is inconsistent with our actual national strength, so we all hope to break the rules of the old world, right? And we also have common enemies, such as the USSR and Great Britain. ”

Matsuoka's meaning is simple: does Germany really not need Japan's help? Don't forget the huge Soviet Union and Britain, which has an incomparably large number of colonies, without the help of Japan, it will not be easy for Germany to completely defeat the two countries, if nothing else, if Britain escapes to Australia or India or even Canada, then Germany can only stare dryly. Besides, Germany has received so many benefits, so why not give Japan a little now, after all, it is taken from the French, and not from your German mouth. Moreover, Japan will take action against Britain if it is naturally short-handed.

"No, Germany does not want something unfriendly with the Soviet Union." Hitler shook his head and said, "If this is the case, we cannot form an alliance, and Germany does not want to give the Soviet Union bad ideas." ”

The idea of attacking Britain together, Hitler liked it.

Matsuoka Yoyo was overjoyed, he wanted this to be the case, he actually did not want a war between Germany and the Soviet Union or a war between Japan and the Soviet Union, in his heart, Japan's future should be to the south, not to the north, he immediately said, "We in Japan do not want to see such a thing happen, in fact, after I left Berlin, I was going to Moscow to meet Stalin, hoping to clear up some misunderstandings." ”

This was news that Hitler did not expect.

Matsuoka continued, "As I said earlier, Japan's goal is to go south, and there are two great enemies in the south, one is Britain and the other is the United States. ”

"The United States? You can't go to war with the United States! Hitler immediately said that Hitler knew very well what the strength of the United States was, and he must know that until now there is a steady stream of American cargo ships transporting all kinds of materials to Germany, and many German consortia have the shadow of American consortia.

Hitler took a breath and said, "If we make an alliance and you go to war with the United States, then we Germany will have an incomparably more powerful enemy, which is not what Germany wants to see." ”

Hitler is actually very different from what later generations think, he is extremely clear about the power in his hands and who to deal with when, restore the normal German army, enter the Rhine zone, annex Austria, then Czechoslovakia, Poland, and then France and other countries, every step Hitler took was in the order of first easy and then difficult, first small and then large, in Hitler's eyes, there are only three countries in the world that have the ability to pose a threat to Germany, that is, Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States, of which the British threat is the closest, and the Soviet Union is second, The farthest in the United States. Now that Britain has been largely defeated by Germany, the next step is to deal with the Soviet Union to the east, not the United States in the distance.

Matsuoka Yoyo immediately said, "It is so that the United States does not get involved in the war, so we have the need to form an alliance, and if the Triple Alliance, then even the United States must consider the consequences of being attacked by us at the same time." ”

In fact, in the hearts of most Japanese, Americans are greedy for life and afraid of death, are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and are not good at war, Matsuoka Yoyo has always firmly believed that as long as Japan is tough enough, then the United States will not be tough on Japan, he even told his eldest son: "As long as you stand firm and start fighting back, the Americans will know that he is talking to the same man, and then the two of you will talk like a man to a man." He believes that only he really knows the United States.

Hitler touched his beard, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, just as Germany's credibility in the international community at this time had been completely ruined, and Japan's credibility was thinner than paper, Hitler thought for a while and said, "If you are going to Moscow next, I hope you can try to see if you can let the Soviet Union join our common alliance." ”

Matsuoka Yoyo was stunned, although he wanted to make peace with the Soviet Union, but this alliance had never been thought of.

Hitler waved his hand and said, "You know, our enemy in Germany is Britain, not the Soviet Union, and since we don't want to be at odds with the Soviet Union, why not make further alliances?" If the Quad Alliance, the whole world will be ours. ”

Matsuoka nodded right and asked, "Then how should the sphere of influence be divided?" If we are allies, we will fight together against the Old World, such as Britain, and even the United States, which may join in the future, and of course, if we can, we do not want the United States to join the war on the World Island. ”

Hitler stood up, took a wooden stick and pointed to the world map on the wall and said, "Germany and Italy will jointly dominate the new order in Europe, North Africa will be dominated by Italy and Germany, you Japan will mainly dominate the new order in Greater East Asia, and the Soviet Union, their territory is already large enough, of course, if they still want, the dominance of Central and Western Asia can be handed over to them, but they are not allowed to go west, otherwise, there will inevitably be contradictions between us, Central Africa and South Africa can be discussed later, the main rule is like this, What do you think? ”

Matsuoka Yoyo trembled with excitement, if it really succeeded, then Japan would be invincible.

Matsuoka bowed right and said, "Please leave this matter to me, and I will convey the common goodwill of the three countries to Stalin, and do my best to make it happen." ”

Hitler nodded and said, "Very good, this matter must be kept absolutely secret, and it must not be leaked, I will let Ribbentrop wait for your news in Poland, if you have any good news, Ribbentrop can immediately go to Moscow for trilateral talks, and if everything goes well, then the four of us can sign an agreement in Berlin." ”

Matsuoka happily said goodbye to Hitler, saying, "I will do my best to bring this about." ”

Hitler hummed and sent Matsuoka Yoyoshi out of the conference room, and suddenly Matsuoka Yoyoshi saw Hitler wearing an extremely fine watch, and couldn't help but say enviously, "This watch is really beautiful, and your German industry can see a thing or two from this watch." ”

Hitler looked down at the watch in his hand and said with a smile, "Oh, this is a friend who gave it to me, it is said that his material is specially taken from the minerals of various European countries to be refined, it is very special significance, it is called the European watch, the factory where he was born, you should know, the Skoda military factory." ”

"Skoda, of course I've heard of it, I really envy your German industrial strength, we in Japan still have so much to learn from you." Matsuoka bowed right and said goodbye.

"If all goes well, then the four of us can sign an agreement in Berlin." Chen Nan put down the headphones, nodded to the monitor next to him and said, "Very good, this discovery is very important, continue to monitor." ”

The listener nodded and sat down and continued to listen, Chen Nan walked out of the basement that was guarded by layers, who would have thought that the biggest spy was not a person, but a watch? Although the monitor has been in this era, it can be said that even in the later generations, this monitor is difficult to be discovered, in fact, it is not only a watch, but also in the many later generations of mechanical equipment that Jiang Cheng gave to the German magnates.

"Send a telegram to the owner immediately, this information is too important!" Chen Nan came to the newspaper room, wrote a paragraph and handed it to the dispatcher, not to mention what happened after Jiang Cheng learned about it, and followed Matsuoka Yoyo to Moscow first.

——

In the summer of 1941, in the original history, the Soviet Union and Germany had already begun a war, and in this time and space, only countless German machinery and equipment and Soviet industrial raw materials came and went between the two countries. From an outsider's point of view, these two countries couldn't be better.

Looking at the Kremlin in Moscow, the huge Ivan Bell Tower and the 40-ton Tsar Cannon, Matsuoka couldn't help but admire, this is the Soviet Union, the holy place in the hearts of all the Red Party members around the world.

The history of the Kremlin is very long, not to mention the earliest ancient palace built of wood and limestone in 1320, even the current building has a history of more than 100 years, Matsuoka looked at the sign on the Kremlin watchtower that was supposed to be a double-headed eagle and is now a red five-star, and he suddenly felt that he would one day see the chrysanthemum representing the Japanese imperial family become this red five-star in Japan.

Matsuoka quickly shook his head and drove away this ridiculous idea, and this time the diplomatic outcome will affect not only Japan, but the strategic direction of the whole world.

In the conference room, Stalin looked at Matsuoka with his pipe and said, "Mr. Matsuoka has worked hard, I have read your note, and I am very pleased and moved that you have come with peace sincerity. ”

Matsuoka nodded and said, "We are very much in agreement with putting aside our past proposals, we in Japan have always hoped that we can work together with the Soviet Union for peace in Asia, but we still have some differences, such as the China issue!" ”

Stalin immediately shook his head and said: "We can consider the question of China, but the increasing number of troops in Manchuria can hardly make us think that your country wants to live in peace with our country. ”

At this time, Stalin already had other ideas about the situation in China. (To be continued.) )
