He Ziguang's "middle strategy" made Hess think about it for a while, and after a while, he said:

"Your Excellency, you must understand that whether we withdraw from the Rhineland, or weaken the Siegfried Line, we are opening the western gate of Germany to France, and it is a great risk to do so, and if we attack the Czechs and Poland, and the French army suddenly attacks us on the Western Front, then Germany will be finished."

He Ziguang said directly:

"Sir, with all due respect, Germany is going to be finished, sir, think about it, in 35 years, Germany marched into the Rhineland, blatantly violating the Treaty of Versailles, at that time Germany was ten times weaker than it is now, and at that time, if the French army moved a finger, it might only take a small battle, not even a battle, and you would be finished, but what about France? France did not want to face even such a small battle, and allowed you to reoccupy the undefended Rhineland

"There are still 38 years, the merger of Germany and Austria, it is also a blatant violation of the Versailles Treaty, and the violation is even more serious, directly changing the map of post-war Europe, at that time, the German army was not as strong as it is today, if the French army attacked you at that time, a battle will not be able to be won, but a battle is almost the same, but what about Britain and France? Don't you dare to intervene, are you afraid that you won't be able to beat you? It's not that they're afraid, it's just that the matter of 'fighting' can be fought but can't be fought, and they are all so scared that there is a glimmer of hope that if they don't fight, they won't fight."

"Now, if the French army attacks you, it will not be a small battle, nor can it be done in a battle, it will be a solid war, and now whether the French army can beat the German army or not, it is still difficult to say that France has the Maginot Line, its own security is very good, and it is very afraid of war, and now the French mentality is equivalent to 'I let Germany expand without serious consequences, no matter how much Germany expands, it will not be able to expand on my head'

"Britain too, Britain has a better than Maginow, it has the English Channel and a strong navy, and its own situation is safer than France, so the mentality of Britain at this time is similar to that of France, as long as you make a gesture of undefended Rhine, and Mr. Chancellor concentrates on a few anti-Bolshevik speeches, it is tantamount to giving the people of these two countries an excuse to comfort themselves: Germany will only threaten the Russians, not us, and even if Germany is a disaster, this disaster will only flow eastward

"Sir, please convey my personal opinion to Mr. Chancellor, Mr. Chancellor is 50 years old this year, and it is the prime of life, if he really has the ambition to lead Germany to do something in Europe, and if he really wants to destroy the Bolsheviks and win living space for Germany in the East, then it is better to do it as soon as possible, if you wait until five or ten years from now, Mr. Chancellor will be 55 or 60 years old at that time, and his health and energy will be far inferior to now

"Also, the situation in Europe at that time will not be as good as it is now, and now, only 20 years before the end of the world war, the British and French people still remember the pain of the war, and will never allow their governments to start the war lightly, but what about ten years from now? Will the memory of the Great War fade gradually, and a large number of people who experienced the pain of the Great War will pass away, or they will be old and withdrawn from the mainstream of society, and more people who will hold the votes at that time will be young people who have not experienced the Great War, or middle-aged people who have vague memories of the Great War. Will Britain and France, which are composed of such a group of people, still be as afraid of war as they are today? - No, absolutely not

"On the other hand, looking at Germany's endurance and humiliation over the years, and the expansion of arms and warfare in the past few years, isn't it just for today? Now in the war, the weapons and equipment of the German army are the latest among the armies in Europe, and the young men of the German army have grown up under the humiliation of the Versailles contract. The weapons of the German army have all been reduced to outdated goods, many senior generals who have participated in world wars and have experienced experience have passed away, many officers who have experienced defeat and humiliation have become old men, retired and those young men who grew up in the shadow of Versailles, have also become middle-aged, and the German army at that time is not today's German army

"Now to fight the Soviet Union, you have the Ming Dynasty as a comrade-in-arms, and you can fight the Soviet Union on both sides, and the odds of victory will increase several times, but we can't keep fighting with the Soviet Union, and within a year or two we will have to negotiate peace and armistice, and the two countries will enter a state of peace, at that time, the Ming Dynasty can concentrate on domestic construction, and at that time, Germany will want to pull the Ming Dynasty to attack the Soviet Union with it, it will definitely be impossible, and the Soviet Union at that time has also eased up, and there are one or two 'five-year plans' to get down, and it will not be something that Germany can easily shake

"Sir, these words are from the bottom of my heart, and both Mr. Sir. and Mr. Prime Minister are people who have seen things very thoroughly, and I must have understood the truth that 'ambition is important, but opportunity is more important,' and I would like to ask Mr. Prime Minister to convey our views to Mr. Prime Minister."

……

He Ziguang's words made Hess silent for a long time He Ziguang could see from his face that this person had been moved after a while, Hess got up and said goodbye, saying that he would go back and send a message to the Führer He Ziguang kept sending him to the car

In the afternoon of the same day, Hess visited him again, sent a long telegram to Hitler, and Hitler made it clear that as long as the Ming Dynasty was willing to mediate in front of Britain and France, Germany was willing to withdraw from the Rhineland in exchange for Britain and France acquiescing to Germany's expansion to the East

He Ziguang couldn't help but sigh at Hitler's courage, it seems that this ** balance of pros and cons is quite simple, as long as it is obviously more worthwhile, make a decision immediately, and never drag the mud and water

The next day, He Ziguang met with the British and French secret envoys He Ziguang and described with them a picture of the Nazis and the Bolsheviks both defeated, the prospect of ** countries dominating the Eurasian continent, the British and French secret envoys looked at each other, dumbfounded, obviously understood what Da Ming was thinking, of course He Ziguang expected that the other party must have this reaction, this is normal

Then he began to promise, aimed at the itching flesh of Britain and France, scratching him hard, first guaranteed to defeat the Soviet Union, let British and French companies participate in a large number of Ming northern, northwestern, northeastern new territory construction This cake is big enough, as long as the Ming is willing, it can basically eliminate the unemployment of Britain and France in the short term, and Daming hopes to sign a mutual military guarantee with Britain and France to form a group of "new entente" across the Eurasian continent, once any of the signatory countries are violated by the fourth country, whether it is the mainland or the colony, will be regarded as a joint aggression against the other two countries, and the remaining two countries will declare war on the aggressor country - of course, the existing enemy countries such as the Soviet Union do not count, and Britain and France do not need to declare war on the Soviet Union for the sake of the Ming Dynasty

Needless to say, since 29 years, all countries are struggling in the Great Depression, and by the end of the thirties, it was finally better, although the economic crisis was not as violent as in 1929 and the early thirties, but the number of unemployed remained high, and the economic downturn, if anyone and anyone could solve the unemployment problem in their own country, would become the hero of the whole country President Roosevelt of the United States and Chancellor Hitler of Germany, the reason why they are so prestigious nowThe main thing is that they have effectively alleviated the unemployment problem in their own countries

Now in the East, there is such a big country that needs large-scale construction, North China, Northeast China, Northwest China, Mongolia, Us-Tibet, the two Xinjiangs, the new territory of Central Asia, and the new territory of Siberia...... The area that needs to be built is almost the size of the United States, and the length of railways and highways that need to be built is longer than the existing total of Britain and France

There is also a "Entente" proposal, which is also more beneficial to Britain and France, of course, the Ming side said that this entente is to deal with Japan, once Japan rises again, Britain, France and Ming can form a situation of "advancing and retreating together" in the Far East, but in the eyes of Britain and France, the benefits they get are obviously more, because this kind of entente is not only a military guarantee treaty, but also a non-aggression treaty, Britain and France are most worried about the colonies in Southeast Asia and the Ming signed a treaty, It is equivalent to getting a written promise from the Ming State: the Ming State will not only guarantee that it will not get involved in the British and French colonies, but will also assume military obligations Even if Japan rises again, it is "the sky falls, and there is a tall man on top" Now in the Far East, the Ming Navy is the strongest, and the Ming State is this "tall man"
