Chapter 462: Banlan Root Elixir
All the situation changed because of the downing of the Luftwaffe One.
The "Broken Thorn" project was urgently halted at the moment when it was about to enter the countdown; The armies of the major countries of the major coalition are all in the first level of combat readiness; Britain, the Soviet Union, Italy, Spain, Turkey and other European countries began to evacuate the population of important cities in response to the possible frenzied retaliation of the German army next.
Zhong Yi's mind was also a little messy.
Gui Wenkuan ordered the Royal Air Force fighters to rush ahead and intercept the German transports that could carry atomic bombs, and there was no problem with this. Who knew that he wanted to catch a big fish, so he took out the king of fish?
On the German side, the appointment of Admiral Dönitz as Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and Goebbels as head of government have already been officially announced. But so far, the German army has only increased its combat readiness and mobilized the defenders of the Atlantic coast in France to concentrate on the Franco-Italian border. Of course, in Munich, where the incident took place, a large number of SS units were also gathered, but according to the intelligence of the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, the SS armored units did not cross the Austrian state border and approach Italy.
Zhong Yi hesitated, it had happened, Adolf was dead, and there was no point in discussing gains and losses, or right and wrong. At the moment when the German war planes were still not ready to start, did they take the lead again and continue to carry out the "stabbing plan"?
Marshal Jiang Yunzhi even proposed increasing the intensity of nuclear strikes and expanding the scope of nuclear explosion sites.
……
Zhong Yi was a little speechless, Jiang Shuai had always been haunted by Rommel's death, and regarded the mustache as the enemy who killed his brother. The German Führer was killed by the Royal Air Force, and the most exciting thing was Jiang Hei's face.
However, Chiang Shuai's suggestion was not unreasonable, and while Germany was in chaos, the possibility of the successful implementation of the "stabbing plan" was much greater. At this time, the simultaneous nuclear bombing of important German cities is likely to force the German government to surrender and accept the "Marseille" Six, but another possibility is that it will further arouse the hatred of the Germans and cause another all-out war.
The decision point of history was fatally handed over to the Han Emperor. The choice of the Majesty will determine which direction the wheel of history goes.
In the Weiqing Pavilion, a cadre of military bigwigs from the General Headquarters sat in order on the left side of the conference table, while on the right side were members of the government cabinet headed by Zhang Jiaxuan and Hebar.
This was a joint meeting of the Cabinet and the Military Commission at the highest level of the Reich, which proved that the "Luftwaffe One" incident was not only a military conflict, but also involved political/political diplomacy.
Although, between Han and Germany, there is still a state of war; Although, with the appearance of the Germans, the shame is by no means bearable. However, the Germans kept restraint when news came back from the front line of the confrontation between the two armies, and on the third day after the news of the death of the mustache broke, there was no direct exchange of fire between the two armies.
It's weird, but for the Han Empire, it's an opportunity, an opportunity to resolve the crisis in Europe peacefully.
In the conference room of the Weiqing Pavilion, the military personnel were relatively silent at such a joint meeting of the military and the government. The marshals, led by Jiang Yunzhi, seemed to uphold the expression that "soldiers regard obedience as their duty" and did not express too many opinions at the meeting. On the other hand, on the part of the government, several cabinet ministers have put forward proposals for a peaceful settlement of the crisis in Europe, and Foreign Minister Wilson even said that he could personally go to Germany to attend the state funeral of the German Führer to show the sincerity of the empire for a peaceful settlement of the crisis.
Zhong Yi raised his head and looked directly at the Foreign Secretary for several seconds, deeply surprised that Wilson had such courage. At the beginning of 1945, when Prime Minister Chang Ka-hwan reshuffled the cabinet for the second time, Zhang Hanqing, who had been invited to join the Dahan Revival Party, became the Minister of Sports and Health in the Cabinet. His Majesty has an attitude of not encouraging or suppressing the young marshal's participation in politics, and letting it play.
The Military Intelligence Bureau also said that in recent years, Zhang Hanqing has no longer been depressed, and has actively participated in public welfare activities to earn political/political capital for himself. But he had very little contact with the generals of the Northeast Army, and it seemed that he knew very well what His Majesty would fear of him and support him.
Joining the cabinet, although he is only the minister of sports and health who does not have much say in it, is still a solid step forward for Zhang Hanqing in his political career. In his 40s, he is still in his good years, and he still has time to work hard compared to Prime Minister Teo Ka Ka Ka, who is nearly 60 years old.
Of course, in the dictatorship of the Han Empire, if he wanted to achieve greater achievements in the political career, the Han Emperor would never be able to get around it. Zhang Hanqing always had a grateful heart for the Han Emperor who had rescued him from the prison of the chairman.
Fang Weijie, who knows the general trend, is now known as a "young marshal" is just a nostalgic mood, Zhang Hanqing does not think that the Han Emperor who "can defeat the whole world" is something he can challenge. However, the old status of the major marshal of the Northeast Army was definitely conducive to his political development, after all, in South China, a considerable proportion of Han Chinese were immigrants from China. The two generations of the Zhang family, father and son, are famous in the hearts of the Chinese people...... Reputation is mixed, but in many cases, fame is a sign of seniority.
This joint meeting of the military and government is also the first time that Zhang Hanqing has the opportunity to enter the Weiqing Pavilion and enter this actual place of the highest decision-making of the empire. Wilson said that he could go on an expedition to Germany to pay his respects, and won the eyes of His Majesty's appreciation. The young marshal also had an idea, this is not an opportunity for himself to show his own goodness.
He remembered the Huanggutun incident that year, after his father was plotted by the little devil, the Japanese consul general in Mukden, Yoshida Shigeru, had come to visit the Marshal's Mansion in a fake and bloody manner. At that time, he knew that it was the little devil who did it, but Zhang Hanqing still had to make a false deal with the Japanese, and scolded his mother in his heart while playing haha. How similar is this to the current diplomatic situation between China and Germany?
Zhang Hanqing is not the first to tell stories in Weiqingge, but he is the most successful one. "Defeated, return for the alliance under the city."
"The Spring and Autumn Chu State can do this bold statement and do this great thing. My Han Imperial Army is stronger and more powerful, so why not? Majesty, Han Qing is also willing to go to Germany to sign back an 'alliance under the city' for His Majesty. ”
Zhong Yi: ......
Dare to come to Nanhua for a few years, this guy has watched a lot of dramas and listened to a lot of books! This guy has moved all the shelves of those quyi halls in Xuanwu District to Weiqing Pavilion.
However, Zhong Yi didn't hate this behavior, Yun Laojiu often went there, and when he was proud to take advantage of Zhang Zheng's teasing, he hummed a few words from time to time to make such a paragraph.
In the "foreign" Weiqing Pavilion, from time to time to add some of the traditional Han style of the ancient style, it is not bad. Just go to Germany with this mentality of Zhang Hanqing? Are you really the Northeast more than ten years ago? At that time, in the Northeast, the Japanese were the ancestors, and even Zhang Dashuai had to be very careful to deal with it.
But Germany is different, although it has strategic advantages such as the nuclear deterrence of the empire, but if it provokes those guys, what consequences will they care? Of course, before the war on the Western Front ended, Xiao Hu dared to march eastward to challenge the Red regime, which had a land area of more than 20 million square kilometers. If Zhang Hanqing really dares to go to Berlin to pretend to be an uncle...... Zhong Yi hehe, "With his heels, you can see what kind of treatment he will receive." ”
Direct shooting is considered light, and although the Gestapo's methods of solving people are not as many as those of Jinyiwei and Blood Droplets, they are also quite innovative.
Which of those Jewish concentration camps in the previous life was not called the most efficient killing machine?
"Your Majesty, the flu is rampant on the continent of Obarro, and all European countries, including Germany, are helpless about it. Coincidentally, Wanquantang Pharmaceutical Company in Nanhua has developed a traditional Chinese medicine powder that has a good effect on the treatment of this disease, known as the 'mutant Spanish flu'. I want to ......"
Zhong Yi's eyes lit up, it seemed that Zhang Hanqing was not impulsive, but prepared. Under the banner of curing the sick and saving people, going to Europe is definitely a good way to not provoke too much disgust.
The "plague of the century" in 1918 claimed the lives of tens of millions of people, including King Alfonso XIII of Spain, so it was called the "Spanish flu". Although this epidemic is not as severe as the one 30 years ago, since it has been dubbed the "mutant Spanish flu", it must be feared in the hearts of government officials.
Being able to help them solve this big problem is not only for the benefit of mankind and the image of a responsible major country; It can also win the favor of the people of Europe on a large scale, and create a more favorable diplomatic situation for the empire.
"Han Qing, are you sure that kind of medicine can control the epidemic in Europe?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. There are more than a dozen patients who have returned from Europe, and all of them have been cured by us. At present, there is not a single case of 'mutant Spanish flu' that has been detected in the territory of the empire and all its colonial areas. ”
"Good! No matter what the trip to Europe is, Han Qing can control the spread of the plague in South China, and you should take the first credit! Compared with others, Zhong Yi has a deeper understanding of the horror of infectious diseases.
Don't talk about SARS, it's H1N1 or something...... In fact, this variant of the Spanish flu is a kind of avian flu. It's just that in this era, there is no such thing as avian flu.
Traditional Chinese medicine has a miraculous effect on avian influenza, and Wan Quantang's Banlan Root Powder helped people in 1945
