"It can't be!"

When Sir Carr heard the news from Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui, he immediately expressed his deep doubts.

"Germany annexed Austria last year and Czechoslovakia this year, and it seems that their front is not far from the Soviet Union, plus their threat to Leningrad in the north...... Everyone thought that the Germans would target the Soviet Union. But they forgot that there was a large open space between the two outstretched arms in Germany. This is Poland! …… The Germans could not always allow their troops to attack the Soviet Union through those two narrow passages. So, they will definitely attack Poland. In fact, they have been demanding land from Poland all this time."

"Although it is true that the Germans are claiming territory from Poland, this does not mean that there will be war. Mr. Minister, you're just guessing. Speculation is not a result. Karl looked at Wang Chonghui defensively, "And I don't understand what China has to do with whether Germany will attack Poland or not." Is your government concerned about this? ”

"Poland is an ally of Britain and France." Wang Chonghui smiled: "So, once Germany really attacks Poland, then Britain and France can only declare war on Germany, isn't that so?" ”

"Of course. But I don't think Germany would make such an unwise decision. Karl Dao.

"Yes. We also do not think it is wise. But the problem is, we are not Germans. Wang Chonghui was very satisfied with Carl's performance, although this thing was calm, he could still feel the vibration in the other party's heart...... Just as he did when he received this task from Chiang Kai-shek: "As I have just said to Mr. Ambassador, Germany has been expanding rapidly in recent years, and it is showing a trend of increasing speed. …… But we feel compelled to tell you that Germany is not really aiming at Poland, or that Poland is only a small prelude to their overall strategy. And this prelude was nothing more than a prelude to deceive Britain and France, and even the Soviet Union. ”

"I don't understand what you mean." Carl couldn't help but be moved. Deceiving Britain, France and the USSR. So what is Germany's goal? And what can it be?

"Hitler's target was Britain and France, and the first target was France." Sure enough, Wang Chonghui threw out the expected answer.

"It can't be." Karl relaxed and smiled disdainfully at Wang Chonghui, "If Germany attacks Poland, then whether it is our British Empire or France, we will declare war on them." When the time comes, the French army will gather on the Maginot Line. In that way, no matter how cunning the Germans were. No matter how much you try to cover it up, it is impossible to achieve any effect. ”

"Actually, that's what I thought, but ...... If the Germans dared to do this, they must have thought of a way. Or maybe their spy has become a commander on the Maginot Line. Wang Chonghui said with a smile.

"This joke of yours is funny." Karl changed color slightly. Forced laughed.

"Perhaps." Wang Chonghui shrugged.

"Your country is so concerned about the situation in Europe, I don't know what the purpose of the road is?" Karl asked again.

"The Oriental World is the largest. It is also the three strongest countries that have come together. And it looks like this war will continue for years. We in China are the weakest of the three and need assistance from the West...... But if the West also fights, it will be the Second World War. We are very concerned about this. Wang Chonghui said.

"There may be one or two local wars in Europe, but it is unlikely to affect our British Empire. So, Mr. Minister, your concerns are completely unwarranted. Carl felt like he had understood what the other man was thinking. Chinese should have been worried about the British aid...... Originally. After the "July 7 Incident," the British and American governments only morally condemned Japan's aggressive acts, but did not provide assistance to China, nor did they stop selling strategic materials to Japan. However, this was followed by the fact that Japan no longer recognized the "open door" policy. British and American interests in China have been greatly harmed, and as a result, out of consideration for their own interests, the British and American governments have become more and more severe toward Japan. At the same time, the British and American governments also realized that only by supporting the Kuomintang government to continue to resist Japan could Japan have no time to worry about anything else and ensure that it would not be attacked. As a result, the two countries increased their assistance to the Kuomintang government. Just like at the end of last year, through the efforts of Chinese Ambassador to the United States Hu Shi and others, the US government granted the Nationalist Government a credit line of 25 million US dollars, and a month later, the United Kingdom also provided a credit line of 450,000 pounds. Then, less than two weeks later, the British government again provided a second tranche of credit of 500,000 pounds. At the beginning of this year, the British government borrowed another £10 million from China's Balanced Fund, which soon increased to 25 million...... However, although the money has been promised, there is still a part of it that has not been received. In particular, the Nationalist Government seems to have been addicted to borrowing money, and not long ago it again sent a request for borrowing to Britain and the United States...... The two governments seem to have some confidence in some aspects of the Nationalist Government, especially when they read that the Chinese still have a large oil field in Indonesia, and they performed quite well on the battlefield against Japan, and the results were extremely unexpected, showing the ability to "repay the money" to expel the Japanese invaders, so after some negotiations, they agreed to this request again. The Americans agreed to give China another $37 million in loans, and the British government agreed to give another 15 million pounds. It's just that the money is still lying on the agreement and has not been allocated. The Chinese government has also been urging both governments to pay their bills quickly.

…… These things, combined with Wang's performance, can conclude that the Chinese are worried that the loan will be affected by the war in Europe. After all, wars are often the most costly, and even if they don't fight, it's not cheap to just send troops out and about. And once the Germans attack Poland, then Britain will at least send part of its troops into the European continent, and at that time, it may affect the Chinese's money bags. Having been in China for several years, he has an understanding of the situation in China. Although Chiang Kai-shek sold a few oil fields, he was still very poor on the whole, especially when he was recently ruthlessly tricked by the Japanese, and although he barely repelled the enemy, the area of the so-called "national control area" under his control was once again reduced, and his government revenue would inevitably be greatly reduced in the future, and his dependence on loans from various countries would naturally be stronger, and he would naturally be more worried about the situation in Europe.

But there was still one thing Carl didn't understand...... How dare the Chinese be sure that Germany would attack Poland? As the Chinese government has always behaved. They should stay away from this kind of thing. Besides, what are their skills to know this?

"Mr. Ambassador, are you surprised that we have suddenly mentioned the situation in Europe this time?" Perhaps sensing Carl's question, Wang Chonghui asked him again.

"There are some doubts." Karl nodded, "China's biggest enemy at the moment is Japan. I can understand if you are concerned about the war between the Japanese and the Soviets in Siberia, but you have set your sights on the other side of the Eurasian continent...... This is a bit of a surprise. ”

"It's not surprise, it's uncomfortable, isn't it?" Wang Chonghui thought secretly, but his face remained unchanged at all, "Actually, this is not difficult to understand...... The First World War changed the political and military landscape of the entire World War. And once Germany goes to war with your country, and France. Then, this means that the Second World War has completely broken out. As the largest country in East Asia, China naturally hopes to be able to discern the situation in the entire world so as to avoid unnecessary damage. ”

"Really?" It's up to you? Karl smiled, "Your government can think like that. Obviously, it already has the self-confidence and quality that a great power should have. That's what we'd like to see, and it's very gratifying to us. ”

"Xie Lu, Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie's false praise." And I wish you an early ascent to heaven! Dead foreign devils. Think I can't see what you're thinking? Wang Chonghui nodded slightly. Also handed back a charming smile.

"The friendship between the British Empire and China has lasted forever, and this is how it should be." Secretly scolding me, right? When I can't see it? But just scold. Who told you not to do it? If you have Germany, no, even if you are Japanese, you don't have to look at our faces all the time...... Still "summoned"? It's really a bunch of guys who don't know how to tell the sky. Karl secretly hated, and Chiang Kai-shek "summoned" him. When he came, he didn't show up...... Sooner or later, he wants to let that bald head know how good he is. Unfortunately, all he needed to do now was to get back to the embassy and report back to London what he had just received. I really don't understand how the Chinese got this news:

"So...... Is there anything else Mr. Minister? ”

"Absolutely."

"Huh?" Karl's body, which had just left the couch, froze there. "And what else do you have to do?"

"We hope to be able to share intelligence with your country!" Wang Chonghui didn't seem to see the other party's appearance, but just said seriously.

"Intelligence sharing?" Karl sat back down awkwardly, his face flushing slightly: "What kind of intelligence sharing?" ”

"Military, of course." Wang Chonghui said.

"Military?" Karl was stunned, "Your country is so interested in the military situation in Europe?" ”

"The war in Europe is the war in the world! Every war there has the potential to affect the future of the world, and we are certainly interested. Wang Chonghui said.

"Actually, the British Empire is also interested in military changes in Asia, but we are not so urgent." Karl replied with a smile, politely rejecting Wang's offer.

"We can understand that." Wang Chonghui said: "But I hope that you, Mr. Ambassador, will inform your government of our wishes...... After all, Japan and the Soviet Union were negotiating in secret, and no one knew what they would do, don't you say? ”

"I don't believe it. Until the Japanese were driven out of the Soviet Union, Stalin would certainly not have negotiated with them. Karl shook his head.

"That was before. But now the Germans are about to launch! They can be more threatening than the Japanese. Wang Chonghui said.

"But that still doesn't justify intelligence sharing between the two countries." Carl still insisted.

"You think so?" So how did you become a diplomat? Wang Chonghui had the urge to roll her eyes...... The Chinese were now aware of Germany's military movements, and the British thought they were planning to exchange intelligence from Asia with Europe...... Swap your size?

"You'd better report to London first."

Hopefully, by the time the Germans start to kick off, the men in London won't remove you...... Seriously, a stupid diplomat like you is a good thing for us, even if it takes a lot of effort sometimes. Wang Chonghui thought secretly. (To be continued......)
