Six hundred and thirty. Cookies, not bombs

On December 12, 1942, something that touched the nerves of countless people finally happened:

Honorary Generalissimo of the German Empire, His Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm personally canonized Baron Ernst Brown. Bream arrives in secret and arrives in London.

This visit may be enough to change history

This was the first meeting between Wang Weiyi and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and the two powerful figures, two perhaps the most stubborn of the leaders of the world, finally stood face to face.

"Maybe I should hang you now" was Churchill's "welcome speech" to Wang Weiyi.

"It's my honor to die at your hands, but hopefully I'll be able to kill you before I hang me." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.

Churchill smiled: "Baron Alexon, welcome to London. ”

"It's a time I've been looking forward to." Wang Weiyi stretched out his hand.

The hands of the two giants of Europe were held together, but unfortunately there was no reporter next to them, otherwise this photo would have caused a sensation in the whole world once it appeared in the newspaper

At this time, a sharp air raid siren suddenly sounded outside, and Churchill's face changed drastically.

Since the return of Baron Alexon, the Luftwaffe has stopped bombing London, is it starting again?

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Prime Minister." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "There are three planes here, and I don't think three German planes can pose any threat to London." If possible, please order your air defense forces not to shoot down these three planes, which I brought as a gift from this visit."

"Gifts?" Churchill hesitated.

It is true that the three planes could not do any substantial harm to London. He picked up the phone and ordered the Imperial Air Force to take off, but before it could be attacked by the Germans. It is not allowed to shoot down German planes.

When he finished giving this order, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What kind of gift did you bring?" ”

"Cookies." Wang Weiyi smiled.

In Ernst. On the day of Marshal Bramm's visit to London, the Luftwaffe again appeared over London.

But this time London was not bombed

A large number of parachutes were spread in the air, and the Germans began to airdrop supplies to London!

Many Britons were given these airdrops, which they found were tin buckets. Open the tin bucket, and all it contains are biscuits.

It's different from ordinary cookies. The biscuits are written on the front and back in German and English:

"Cookies, not bombs!"

This is like rain in thirst for London, which is severely short of supplies. And the above "want cookies." Don't bomb", which clearly conveyed a message to the British:

Peace, perhaps, will come soon

Cookies - no bombs! When the British are tasting these biscuits, they keep passing on the words.

"Are you bribing the British?" Churchill asked after getting the news.

"Yes. Maybe I'm buying," Wang Weiyi did not deny at all: "If this is a bribe." Then I admit it. Cookies are more acceptable than bombs. ”

Churchill shrugged noncommittally: "I have to admit that you are a clever baron." ”

"And you're a wise prime minister." Wang Weiyi smiled.

At the very least, the atmosphere of the negotiations is now much more relaxed

No one else came to disturb them, only Wang Weiyi and Churchill sat in the garden.

It was already evening, and Churchill looked at the sky in the distance: "What a beautiful night, Your Excellency, to tell you the truth, I have to thank you for ordering the bombing of London to stop." At the very least, it would give me time to enjoy the beautiful evening without exploding. Of course, this is just my personal thanks."

"I think. There will be no more bombing of London in the future. Wang Weiyi was also looking at the distant sky: "Now Germany has a great advantage on the battlefield, but I still did not order the resumption of the bombing of London, in fact, the reason is very simple, the war between the two European powers, no matter how far it is fought, there is no winner." ”

"A winner's ridicule of a loser?" There was some sarcasm in Churchill's words.

"Do you think so?" Wang Weiyi smiled: "If this is ironic, then I would rather not make this trip to the UK." In both world wars, Germany's main target was not Britain, but you yourself had to involve yourself in the war, as ridiculous as it sounds. Before my return, our head of state expressed his friendship to you, but he was rejected, and now I also convey our friendship"

"Friendship from Hellboy?" Churchill picked up a coarse cigar: "I still think that you should withdraw your troops from North Africa before expressing your friendship." ”

"Mr. Prime Minister, you have made a request that no one can accept." Wang Weiyi also took out his cigarette: "North Africa has too many benefits for Germany and Britain. I can't say yes."

Churchill lit a cigar: "And where is your friendship show?" ”

"Can you give me the matches? Xie Lu Xie. Wang Weiyi also lit a cigarette: "Mr. Prime Minister, it has already begun, and now is the most difficult time for Britain, right?" If we keep the offensive against the UK going, then the pressure on you will be even greater. Many Britons adore you, but as far as I know, there are many Britons who oppose you. Especially after the successive failures in Iran and Egypt, there have already been calls for the fall of your government, and I, for you, am relieving the pressure."

"I have not denied this, Mr. Baron." Churchill held a thick cigar between his fingers: "But just before your visit to London, the Germans seized Saudi Arabia and a large number of surrounding countries, is this also your friendship?" ”

"Is that a traditional colony of the British Empire? No. Wang Weiyi took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke: "Right now, we are in a state of war, and battles will break out anytime and anywhere. I have already ordered my troops to stop continuing the offensive after seizing Saudi Arabia, Trusil Oman and other places, and especially not to continue to advance to India and other places, is this sincerity not enough? ”

Churchill's heart was somewhat relaxed

After the end of the war in North Africa, the German army continued to maintain a strong offensive, seizing Saudi Arabia and Trusil Oman one after another, which already directly threatened British interests in India.

But now, Baron Alexon himself promised not to continue the march after taking these places

Compared to Saudi Arabia and Trusil Oman, the British are more interested in the huge interests of the traditional colony of India.

However, the British will never know what calculations Wang Weiyi has in his heart.

The current Saudi Arabia and the future United Arab Emirates, that is, Trusil Oman, which currently includes Bahrain and other countries, the huge but still unknown oil resources hidden under the desert are what Wang Weiyi values the most.

What does that mean? It means an endless stream of oil resources, it means a steady stream of money.

For the sake of these places, Wang Weiyi is even willing to sacrifice some local interests.

But the British can't see the gold under the desert at all, no, it's more valuable than gold!

After obtaining these places, Wang Weiyi even quickly ordered the German exploration department and the Wittgenstein family's exploration personnel to rush to these places

"Well, is my friendship enough?" Wang Weiyi said calmly: "I can guarantee that the German army will not continue to attack, guarantee the interests of Britain in India and other places, and even provide you with enough necessary help when you are attacked." ”

"When attacked" - Churchill knew very well that he was referring to Japan.

What made him feel strange was that, judging from the current strength and strong fighting spirit of the German army, they could still continue to advance, but why should they stop?

He probably didn't know that Wang Weiyi had decided to put most of Germany's strength on the Russian battlefield, and once he continued to attack the British colonies, Britain would inevitably fight to the death, and similarly, Germany's rapid expansion would also cause strong uneasiness in the United States

So the war against Britain has been going on for more or less now

Churchill reloaded a bag of tobacco and muttered for a long time: "Well, these issues are beyond our scope for the time being. I think there are some things that the British are more concerned about, the question of prisoners. Mr. Baron, are you willing to exchange prisoners? ”

"Captive?" Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "I want cookies, not bombs." Mr. Prime Minister, I have released a large number of captured British officers led by General Rosen ahead of schedule, and I am willing to continue to negotiate with Britain on the issue of the remaining prisoners, and I really do not want to continue to see Mr. Prime Minister, if I get permission, I will immediately send a telegram to the country, requesting that special negotiators be sent immediately to negotiate the exchange of prisoners."

"I'll open a green channel," Churchill sighed in his heart again.

The problem of captives also bothered him, and the defeat of several wars left a large number of British dead and captured, and families who lost their children and husbands cried almost every day.

Once a large number of British prisoners were released, domestic discontent would diminish considerably.

At least from this point of view, Churchill was extremely eager to negotiate with Germany. (To be continued......)
