Chapter 15: Unexpected
The recall of Eugene was ordered by Zhao Zhi personally, and he couldn't wait, because the situation in Europe had changed again. I don't know if it was the pride in the bones of the Americans or the victory in the Pacific theater that stimulated them, after defeating the Japanese Combined Fleet on the sea again, the US government actually made the decision to join forces with the Soviet Union to attack Germany, and the secret messengers of the British and French resistance organizations have arrived in Washington, and the US Congress is discussing whether to secretly support them.
As for the decision made by the US Congress, the elder Rhodes did not give an explanation, because in the eyes of a political family like theirs, whether it is to unite Germany or the Soviet Union, the participation of the United States is for the sake of interests, as well as the maximization of interests. Stalin has been eaten to death by the German army, and the overwhelming offensive of the German army made the Soviet army unable to resist, especially the new incendiary bombs that can burn steel, which made the Soviet soldiers on the front line continue to retreat, because no one wants to be burned to charcoal by the incendiary bombs that fell from the sky.
The German offensive forced the hardened Stalin to bow his haughty head and seek support from the United States, knowing that only the United States was capable of fighting the Germans. The resistance organizations from Britain and France are only the head of this US-Soviet alliance, and the United States needs to be famous, even if it is humanitarian, it also needs a fuse to detonate the action, and the British and French resistance organizations are the seeds that detonate the fuse.
History seems to have returned to the same trajectory as in the previous life, Zhao Zhi has no intention of changing the development and trajectory of history, in the face of the encrypted telegram sent by old Rhodes from the United States, Zhao Zhi decided to abide by the guidelines of mercenaries and immediately recall Eugene in the Soviet Union. The employment between Thunder and Germany has long ended, and Zhao Zhi's current employers are the Nationalist Government and the United States Government, so no matter what the decision of the US Congress makes, Zhao Zhi decided to still abide by the previous reason for the United States to hire Thunder - to continue to fight with the Japanese army.
As for whether Thunder will participate in the attack on Germany, Zhao Zhi has not yet made a clear decision, mercenaries live for profit, fighting is only their nature and means of livelihood, and obtaining benefits is the best way to prove mercenaries. If the United States and the Soviet Union can really contain the German army in the future, Zhao Zhi does not mind taking a kick in it, there is only a relationship of interest between him and Hitler, and there is no need for Thunder to give up the huge interests that are about to be obtained for the sake of a Germany.
When Eugene temporarily returned to China, Zhao Zhi was already on his way to the United States, and a Junkers Ju52 transport plane painted with a huge swastika logo on the fuselage became Zhao Zhi's car on this trip. The Japanese Combined Fleet and the U.S. Navy are fighting hotly at sea, and they may attack the U.S. planes flying through the strait, but the Japanese army will never dare to fire or intercept the German planes with swastika on the fuselage.
The Junkers Ju52 that Zhao Zhi was riding was no different from half of the transport planes in appearance, but in fact, the interior of the plane had already been altered by Jewish technicians at the Kunming Arsenal. Like the German army, the Jewish technicians also converted this Junkers Ju52 into a bomber, and then added machine guns in the nose and two wings to enhance the ability to strike in the air, coupled with the perverted bulletproof ability after being modified by them, Zhao Zhi's Junkers Ju52 simply cannot reach the loading capacity that a transport plane should have, because this Junkers Ju52 has been converted into a war fortress, even if it can't hit the opponent's plane, but at least it will not be easily shot down by the other side.
Zhao Zhi did not fly directly to Washington, he was not afraid that he would be shot down by the US Air Force as a German plane, he needed to discuss this matter with the head of the Lockman family, Old Rode. Old Rod's opinion is a good guiding light for Zhao Zhi to a large extent, Zhao Zhi in Myanmar has more and more of a politician's mind, he often considers the problem from many aspects before making any judgment, Rowling once laughed that Zhao Zhi is getting more and more of a big picture.
"Zhao, you are the most special and intelligent person I have ever met, if I said that you had better continue to have a relationship with Hitler, would you do so?" Old Rod who was nesting on the sofa bit his beloved walnut pipe and asked Zhao Zhi a little vaguely, but looking at Old Rode's attitude and tone of voice, it seemed that he was discussing the matter with Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi paused slightly, then dusted off his cigarette ash with a smile and said, "Rod, I know what you mean, the Rockman family can't put all their eggs in the same basket, I understand what you mean." Zhao Zhi's answer made old Rod's eyes flash a gleam, he also asked other people in the family this question, but no one can understand his meaning like Zhao Zhi, I have to say that Rowling is looking for a good man, maybe the glory of the Rockman family will depend on the young man in front of him to continue.
"Now that you know what I mean, what do you think?" Old Rod changed his position and continued to nest in the sofa, the discomfort in his waist made him unable to maintain a posture for a long time to talk to people, and the old Rod who had gray hair was looking old at the moment.
"The pursuit of profit is always the creed and code of mercenaries, and the Thunder can continue to keep in touch with Germany, but they can't keep busy, this can only be private, and they can't be put on the table. Once the situation changes, the Thunder will fall behind because of this matter, and it may affect the development of the Rockman family, such a price is too great, maybe we can find a way to get the best of both worlds" When Zhao Zhi was answering the question, the fingers of his left hand unconsciously kept tapping on the armrest of the sofa.
Old Rod is familiar with Zhao Zhi like every child in the family, he knows that when Zhao Zhi makes this move, it means that Zhao Zhi is thinking about things in his heart at this time, so before Zhao Zhi continued to speak, Old Rod just bit his pipe and waited silently. He was waiting for Zhao Zhi to come up with a so-called solution, if it wasn't for the situation, he didn't want Thunder to continue to keep in touch with Germany, if Zhao Zhi could have a better way, he wouldn't mind listening to it.
Zhao Zhi, who was sitting on the sofa, seemed to have settled down like a monk, except for the faint sound of breathing, Zhao Zhi's whole person seemed to have disappeared into Old Rod's study. "How sure is it that Congress will decide to form an alliance with the Soviet Union? What were the conditions that the Soviets came up with for this alliance? Zhao Zhi, who suddenly spoke, asked two things that had nothing to do with this matter, but the old Rod who had been lazily nesting on the sofa sat up straight, and he knew that Zhao Zhi still had nothing to say.
"If Congress is really determined to join forces with the Soviets to face Germany, then we Thunder can give a big gift to this alliance, but among the benefits that the Soviets have come up with, Thunder will take a share, after all, my plan is too dangerous, Thunder will face huge pressure, there is no benefit to do anything, we Thunder will not do it, after all, we Thunder are mercenaries, aren't we?"
Zhao Zhi's words completely blinded old Rode, this old man who has worked all his life for the revival of the Lockman family really can't guess what Zhao Zhi is thinking. "There is a lot of debate in Congress, but half of the congressmen have been persuaded by the people in the White House, and the rest of the congressmen are not fools, they will see the situation and vote for themselves, I estimate that the alliance with the Soviet Union will definitely pass, after all, Stalin has a lot of money this time."
"Then I don't care, if you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed it, and we Thunder are the same, if the interests do not meet our expectations, we Thunder will not do it, and even the action plan will not be revealed to them." Zhao Zhi's words raised the appetite of old Rod, and he had been talking about it for a long time, and Zhao Zhi did not mention what he said about the icing on the cake.
Looking at Old Rod's somewhat anxious look, Zhao Zhi smiled and reached out to dip the coffee in the cup, first drew a face with a mustache under his nose on the table, and then Zhao Zhi smashed his fist on the face portrait, the meaning of which was undoubtedly revealed. Old Rhodes is old, but as Lockman's current helmsman, he has the habit of reading newspapers, so he is very familiar with the portrait of this person's face drawn by Zhao Zhi with coffee, isn't this the German paranoia who clamored to take down the entire Soviet Union?
"You say, if news of Hitler's assassination suddenly came from Europe at the time of the US-Soviet alliance, would the wavering members of Congress re-examine their opinions?" Zhao Zhi's words were a little cold, which made Old Rod have to re-examine the young man in front of him. Hitler was not only a German paranoid, he was also the soul of the whole Germany, and if he wanted to assassinate Hitler, this was not an accomplishable task at all, but looking at Zhao Zhi's meaning, he seemed to be completely sure.
"The big fat man Goering has always been in contact with me, and through him I can easily deduce the exact location of Hitler. Everyone thought that it would be difficult to assassinate Hitler, and perhaps even Hitler himself thought so, because my mercenaries did not make a move, and as long as Thunder made a move, Hitler would definitely die. Zhao Zhi smiled and took out a piece of information and handed it to Old Rod, "This is a new type of time bomb, compared with ordinary bombs, this kind of bomb is more powerful and more secretive, my military technicians have done tests, even metal detectors and military dogs can not find the existence of this bomb." ”
"Are you sure your men can do this?" After repeatedly obtaining Zhao Zhi's assurance, the old Rod's hand trembled uncontrollably, if Zhao Zhi's elite mercenaries can really succeed in assassinating Hitler, then the situation in the whole of Europe will change dramatically, Germany without Hitler will no longer be the invincible iron-blooded power, the United States and the Soviet Union will gain huge benefits from the alliance, and the Rockman family will also get the opportunity to share the benefits because of Zhao Zhi's efforts.
