sent away his brother Huang Zheng, Huang Zhengzhong felt a little empty in his heart.

Don't look at his family, they are all high-powered, but the family has very little time together, and it is rare that he and his brother still maintain a good friendship, which is really rare in a high-level family like him.

Huang Zhengzhong didn't say much, and prepared to go back with Su Hui. He asked Su Hui, "I don't want to go around today, why don't I send you back first?" ”

Su Hui shrugged: "Okay, I want to go around Nanjing myself." ”

Huang Zhengzhong thought for a moment and said, "You should stay in the hotel." It's not very peaceful in Nanjing now, it's not safe for you to go out as a girl, if you want to go somewhere to play, I'll take you there tomorrow. ”

"You're wrong, I'm not going to play this time." Su Hui said seriously: "Do you know? I haven't seen this scene before. We had a lot of mothers and wives in this send-off scene...... They must not want their children and husbands to go to war, and those young soldiers do not want to go to war. But countless people, like your brother, although they know the cruelty of the battlefield, if it is possible that they will not want to go back to the battlefield for the rest of their lives, they still go. ”

"I think the government's executive orders make up a big part of this, but when I look at your brother's eyes, I find something else. So I wanted to take a walk around Nanjing and see if I could write a report. ”

Su Hui's appearance didn't look like a joke. Huang Zhengzhong was surprised at this time, and he asked in surprise: "You mean, you want to write a report?" ”

"What? Don't believe me? Su Hui shrugged and said, "I'm from Columbia University's School of Journalism, and Pulitzer is our initiator." In fact, there is such a reason why I came to Nanjing. Originally, I wanted to interview government officials or the top of the military, but now it seems that I should focus on the people at the bottom, the frontline. They may be ordinary soldiers or ordinary people, and from their eyes, I believe that they must be able to better reflect the Chinese's war of resistance! ”

Listening to Su Hui's serious talk, Huang Zhengzhong unexpectedly found that he didn't know her a little. Is Su Hui still the girl who likes to eat, drink and have fun, and has nothing to do all day?

Obviously, if the two of them were put together, it would be difficult for him to associate them together, but now the two of them are put together. It seems that some of the psychology books that Huang Zhengzhong has spent are correct, people's personalities are multiple, and many times we are often exposed to one side of a person, and lack the understanding of the other side, so when we look at people, they are often one-sided.

"Well, I think it's my duty to accompany you around, after all, I'm more familiar with this place." Huang Zhengzhong looked Su Hui up and down and said, "I think you should change your clothes, I'm afraid this dress is not very suitable for going to the front line." ”

Hearing this reminder, Su Hui paid attention to her clothes: "Oh my God! I was wearing a dress. In this way, you come back to the hotel with me, I'll go change my clothes, and we'll come out. ”

"No problem!" Huang Zhengzhong said with a smile.

……

According to Huang Ke's intentions, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China Government sent an official note to the German ambassadors to China, stating to them China's position on the handling of Germans in China. He also informed the German government that it respects everyone's personal choice and that the German government must not force Germans who are unwilling to leave China.

Relations between Germany and China began to improve only after Huang Ke came to power. At the site of the Northern Expedition, the Germans had only the Consulate General in Guangzhou, and the Germans recognized the Beiyang government in Beijing. 、

After the Northern Expedition, the government of the Republic of China set the capital of Nanjing to unify the overall situation, and Huang Ke was also in urgent need of foreign technology at this time, so he began to contact Germany, and the relationship between the two countries rose rapidly, and sent ambassadors to each other, establishing ambassadorial-level diplomatic relations.

For a long time afterward, relations between China and Germany were on the rise. On several of Huang Ke's visits to Europe, the first stop was Berlin.

But with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, coupled with the accelerated pace of Nazi expansion in Europe, Sino-German relations deteriorated dramatically. Not long ago, Germany and Japan signed an alliance agreement, Germany announced the withdrawal of workers and engineers in China, and broke off the cooperation between the two sides, and Sino-German relations fell sharply and fell to the lowest point.

Despite this, the two countries maintained their original ambassadorial relationship, and the German embassy still flew the Nazi flag on Fenglin Road in Nanjing.

But now that this note has been issued, no one knows whether Germany will withdraw its ambassador to China.

Seeing this diplomatic note, the German ambassador to China, Wilmann's eyes widened, and the beard on his nose was constantly blown, and he said that his chubby hands were patted repeatedly, showing his extreme dissatisfaction with this.

"Sir, this note I would consider to be a great disservice to the German side."

Liao Jimin, a diplomat from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, faced with Wellman's anger, said unhurriedly to him with the characteristic oriental connotation: "Sir, we have such a note to inform the German side. Moreover, whether to stay in China or not should be a natural freedom given by everyone. For those who would like to return to Germany, I think we will be happy to help them repatriate. ”

Hearing Liao Jimin say this, Wellman pretended to smile lightly, and he said in a semi-threatening tone: "Sir, I have to remind you that you will have a very bad impact on the relations between Germany and China in this way. ”

Liao Jimin also smiled and said: "Sir, there are some things I don't think I need to be reminded, I think you must know that Berlin has signed an alliance treaty with Tokyo, and also exports a large number of industrial raw materials and weapons raw materials to Japan, isn't this a harm to us?" Doesn't that affect our feelings? ”

Wellman nodded: "Then you mean, this is revenge for this kind of behavior?" ”

Liao Jimin shook his head: "No, sir, I want you to understand that the regulations we have made are a practice of freedom and dignity for all people, not out of any kind of revenge. ”

Wellman put back the smile on his face, and he said solemnly: "Sir, I will send the full text of the note of your government to Berlin, after which I will reply to your country according to courtesy." ”

"Okay, then we are waiting for your reply." After Liao Jimin finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Wellman scratched his bare head, and the secretary next to him saw Mr. Ambassador like this, and said a little angrily: "Sir, are the Chinese crazy!" ”

Wellman shook his head: "No, I think Berlin will go crazy before this." ”

As Wilman expected, when the contents of the note were sent back to Germany, it really surprised many people.

When Foreign Minister Ribbentrop rushed to the Reich Chancellery and reported the matter to Hitler, Führer Hitler was furious when he heard this, and he gestured angrily and said: "Huang Ke would have made such a decision!" It was really unexpected. I think that Huang Ke and they have decided to abandon us, so there is no need for us to leave any room with them. ”

As he spoke, the Führer stood up, crossed his hips with one hand, and took a step forward: "It seems that we need to do something." Those cooperation with China can be terminated, and those that are still being terminated must be terminated early. They have been fighting with the Japanese for several years, and now that the Japanese are in the city, they are no longer in our interests in the Far East! Go ahead, sir. ”

Ribbentrop also stood up and said, "Okay, Yuan Xiansheng, do you have any other instructions?" ”

Hitler thought for a moment and said, "No." If relations with China deteriorate to the point of severing diplomatic relations, I think we can recognize the new government supported by Japan, and I have heard that the Japanese have plans to do so. ”

Ribbentrop laughed: "Yes, I think it's already an open secret. ”

On the same day, the German side sent back a note expressing regret and anger at China's unilateral interference in the withdrawal of workers and engineers, and at the same time announcing the termination of all agreements and cooperation between China and Germany, but did not mention the severance of diplomatic relations.

Undoubtedly, this is a big blow to the Chinese side, but Huang Ke firmly believes that it is a matter of time before he breaks off diplomatic relations with Nazi Germany, and the reason why he proposes it now is also to protect and retain the tens of thousands of Jews in China.

The reason for this, in addition to Huang Ke's reluctance to see the Jews continue to suffer, has to do with a highly classified research project he conducted, codenamed Project 918.

At this time, on the edge of the English Channel, Guderian, wearing a fur coat and wearing a general's epaulettes, was raising his binoculars to observe the situation on the opposite bank, and behind him was the mighty and majestic German armored troops.

It was with this force that they swept Poland and then Western Europe, setting an unprecedented brilliant record. But Guderian will not forget that in Berlin, he was inspired by armored warfare after reading the war discourse of an Eastern military strategist. It is precisely because of this that he always pays attention to the situation on the battlefield in the east.

After hearing about the deterioration of Sino-German relations, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "We have lost an opportunity to communicate with excellent military experts. ”

While Guderian was feeling emotional, a cold wind blew across the English Channel.

The corners of Guderian's coat fluttered in the wind, and he looked up to see the sky horizon, the bomber group that had bombed London began to return.

There was no place for them in Western Europe, and now that the strait was separated by his armored lion, Guderian could not help but be a little disappointed.

But the herald soon came running and was going to bring him an exciting order, his next target - the Soviet Union!
