Episode 84 Pursue Your Empress!

Hitler told Xiang Xiaoqiang that he would arrange a birthday party in the evening, and that Xiang Xiaoqiang, as a general, came to Germany and was entertained by German generals, which could not be more appropriate.

Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that at today's dinner, he would be able to meet Flitsch, Beck, and Guderian. In fact, what he really wanted to see was Guderian. As for Flitsch and Beck, although their positions are high, they also have a lot of the same talents in Daming. Speaking of Ludwig Beck, Xiang Xiaoqiang remembered that this person was the commander-in-chief of the assassination of Hitler in 1944, and as for the specific execution, it was the famous Klaus von Stauffenberg.

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang talked with Hitler for an afternoon, and seeing that dusk was approaching, the sunset slanted into the tall window of Hitler's office.

Both were a little tired. Xiang Xiaoqiang sat diagonally on the corner of Hitler's desk, drinking coffee. Hitler lay on the couch, also with his coffee in hand, staring thoughtfully at the ground in front of him. After getting along for the past few days, Xiang Xiaoqiang is also more casual in front of Hitler. Both of them don't like to sit on the sofa very much, and when they talk, they like to stand, or walk around, talking and cooperating with gestures, which is enjoyable enough. At this point, Xiang Xiaoqiang is quite in tune with Hitler.

In the middle of each negotiation, they take one or two of these small breaks. At this time, Xiang Xiaoqiang's three old advisors would go outside to rest. They always wanted Xiang Xiaoqiang to come out and discuss negotiation strategies together, but Xiang Xiaoqiang preferred to stay in the office and chat with Hitler. Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that he should seize the gap in negotiations and communicate more with his own representatives, but he was already impressed by Hitler's personality charm at this time. In addition, he knew Hitler's place in history, and he always felt that it would be more meaningful to seize the opportunity to spend more time with this man.

Both sides no longer raised the issue of negotiations, but drank coffee and talked about other topics. Hitler was always fond of talking about history, culture, art, and so on. Xiang Xiaoqiang can sometimes talk about these topics, but most of the time he can't plug them in, and the level is not enough. Only then did Xiang Xiaoqiang understand that Hitler's knowledge was still quite extensive, and many issues could still be discussed very deeply. At least I can't compare myself with others.

But Xiang Xiaoqiang was born in art, and Hitler was a person who loved art. On the issue of art, Xiang Xiaoqiang can barely deal with a few words, but he strongly feels that Hitler, a "miscellaneous student" who has never been trained in a formal art academy, is much deeper than his own attainments from a professional class. During a break during the negotiations this morning, Hitler grabbed a pen and paper on the table on a whim, and drew a sketch for Xiang Xiaoqiang with a few strokes. Xiang Xiaoqiang took it and looked at it, and suddenly admired Lao Xi beyond measure.

…… It's so well drawn. A few strokes, both form and spirit, the technique is very sophisticated.

When I used to read Hitler's biography, I always said that Hitler wanted to be an artist in his early years, but because his talent was too low, he was rejected by the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. There are also many books about Hitler's wanderings in Vienna and his painting of cheap posters for others, and they are also full of interest about how clumsy Hitler's drawings were, as if they would match his later actions.

But Xiang Xiaoqiang now sees Hitler's sketches. Although Xiang Xiaoqiang is not very good at painting, he is a knowledgeable person. He could see that Hitler had real skills under his hands. It is no exaggeration to say that this level is no problem in later generations of China, and it is easy to be admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Hitler also admired Xiang Xiaoqiang. What he particularly appreciates is Xiang Xiaoqiang's "oratorical talent". Although Xiang Xiaoqiang's "oratorical talent" was a potential that was only stimulated after crossing over, Hitler discovered it in the first argument between the two.

"You have a gift from God," said Hitler, patting him on the shoulder, "and after the age of thirty, you should go into politics." Do you know? Politics, only politics can make people experience the thrill of changing the world with their own hands, and experience the wonderful feeling of one person influencing tens of millions of people. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang grinned and said:

"But I'm a soldier."

Hitler shook his head and smiled:

"Yes, you are a soldier, but that's just your shell, your soul is a politician. What a person is born to do is given by God, and we cannot change it ourselves. What we can do is to detect early and adapt to this arrangement. Mr. General, a real soldier does not care about politics, and I see the flame of politics in your words and deeds, in your thoughts. I dare say, you're not a man who wants to be a soldier for the rest of your life. …… You don't want to, do you? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled, but he sighed in his heart that Hitler's eyes were too poisonous. In fact, he is a restless ambition.

A voice in his heart shouted: Now is the time, talk to Hitler! In this world, maybe only he can understand your thoughts and won't scoff at them!

Xiang Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment, then stared at Hitler, and said very seriously:

"Mr. Chancellor, there were some things that had been in my mind before I came to Germany, and I didn't know if I should talk to you about it. But since you can see through my mind, I feel that in this world, you should be the first listener of my plan. ”

Hitler was a little surprised, but nodded anyway, and immediately sat down on the sofa, leaned forward, and listened to him with great concern.

"Mr. Prime Minister," said Xiang Xiaoqiang, "I have read your Mein Kampf. ”

Hitler smiled and nodded, a look of surprise on his face. Xiang Xiaoqiang continued:

"Honestly, there are so many shocking things in your book. You say that the German nation needs to expand its living space to the east and acquire land for the German plough with the German sword. You say to purge the Jews, purge the inferior Slavs of Eastern Europe and make room for the superior Aryans...... Of course, you wrote this book while you were behind bars, in a Weimar government prison. Outside of Germany, there are very few people who have actually taken the heart to read your book in its entirety. Even if you read it carefully, most of you think that you were grandstanding, trying to improve your own situation and gain public attention for your party.

"But Mr. Prime Minister, I am one of the few who believe what you say. I know that in the book "Mein Kampf", every sentence is not a joke. This is not a book written for sensationalism. This is a book that chronicles your life's calling. Every word you write will be put into practice one day. So I know that in ten years, maybe five years, you will conquer the East and recreate the glory of the Crusades. The tracks of the German tank will drive through the Czech Republic, through Poland, and finally ...... Drive to Russia. ”

"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, I know that your ultimate enemy is Russia. It is your unshakable determination to destroy the Bolsheviks and save European civilization. If there's one other person in the world who knows your determination, it's me. ”

Hitler stood up all of a sudden, looked excited, patted Xiang Xiaoqiang on the shoulder, and said loudly:

"Sir, I am very impressed! You read my book carefully! That's why you can understand my mission and beliefs! …… I came into this world with a God-given mission from the moment I was born! God gave me birth to save Germany and save humanity! God has asked me to save Western civilization from its degeneration! …… Of course, every word I write down is not for fun, but alas, too many people don't understand it that way!

"I know a lot of foreigners I've talked to, and when they come back, they call me crazy. …… Well, I'm just crazy. But don't forget that Galileo was also called a madman. Throughout the history of mankind, anyone whose thinking transcends the confines of the times will be called a madman by the world. When the wheel of history whizzes by, the names of these great people will shine brightly without exception. Later mortals would also prostrate themselves on the ground, proud to be able to touch the footprints of those great men, and at the same time, continue to call the great men of their time madmen......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't expect Hitler to say a lot of things impassionedly. Perhaps his own words hit the nerve center of Hitler. Anyway, the effect was better than he thought. As a politician, Hitler was a rare man of temperament. When it comes to making major decisions, he often puts his personal likes and dislikes above reason. There will not be a single politician like this in hundreds of years.

Xiang Xiaoqiang also said "excitedly":

"Mr. Prime Minister, do you know why I know you?"

Hitler stared at him and said:

"Why?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang says:

"Because I have a feeling: I'm the same kind of person as you! You have your mission, and I have mine! Your mission is to advance eastward and win living space for the German people, while my mission is to advance northward to regain the land lost three hundred years ago for the people of the Ming Dynasty and liberate the people of the north from the barbarians! And, if possible, I want to complete this mission in a few years.

"Look, Mr. Prime Minister, I am the same as you. …… But the difference is that you are already the leader of Germany, the resources of the whole country are at your disposal, and the people of Germany as a whole trust and obey you. But I'm nothing yet, and when this goal is spoken, people in China will either call me crazy, or they will think I'm singing high-pitched. ”

Hitler looked at him in astonishment, staring at him for a long time, trying to guess from his face whether he was teasing himself or not. But Xiang Xiaoqiang looked calm and met Hitler's gaze, as if what he just said was not to unify North China, but to eat grilled pork chops tonight.

Hitler stared at him for a long time and slowly nodded. He pondered for a moment and asked:

"Why does it have to be within a few years? …… You're still young. It's too harsh. If you have the ambition, you should spend 10 to 20 years to gain enough power. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang lowered his head, with a sad look on his face. He said heavily:

"Mr. Prime Minister, there is a reason, of course...... However, I have never told anyone about this reason. My colleagues at home, Her Majesty the Empress, including my wife, they don't know. But...... You're different. You are a different person than they are. We've only known each other for a few days, but we've been able to appreciate and understand each other.

“…… Mr. Prime Minister, I have a genetic disease in my family, and people who get it usually don't live to be 30 years old. …… The disease is insidious and is inherited only in a generation, and only in males. My grandfather died of this disease. Now, it's my turn. …… Now you see, I'm in this world for five or six years at most. So I want to accomplish this mission in the next five or six years. ”

Hitler was quite surprised, looked at him, and did not expect him to give such a reason. His first thought was that this representative of the Ming Dynasty was making up a bizarre reason, in order to deceive himself, he wanted to get something out of himself. But Hitler's mind spun around a few times, and he couldn't think of any benefit he would get by telling lies to Xiaoqiang.

Hitler recalled the information he had about Xiang Xiaoqiang, which showed that Xiang Xiaoqiang rose very quickly in the Ming Dynasty, and a few months ago he had just run over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty and saved a female soldier on a submarine in the Ming Dynasty, and was also examined by the Ming Dynasty factory guards as a spy of the Qing Dynasty. As for the censored material, the German spies did not have a chance to see it. However, Xiang Xiaoqiang is definitely not a spy of the Qing Dynasty, because the result is obvious. He was deeply trusted by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, and made several great achievements in succession, and in a few months, he became the commander of the People's Guard, with the rank of lieutenant general and the title of earl.

Xiang Xiaoqiang parachuted into the Northern Qing Dynasty and organized the People's Guard to launch a coup d'état, both of which were extremely risky and could be said to be fatal. According to his style of seizing the day and not letting go of any opportunity, his current theory of genetic disease should be more reliable. He was indeed like a man who had only a few years left to live, but desperately wanted to accomplish something big.

Hitler groaned for a long time and said:

"I beg your pardon, I didn't know I was talking to someone whose days were running out. Sir, you only have a few years, but you can still talk with me about the past and the present, and about art...... You have only a few years to go, but you are still doing your best to fight for the interests of your country and your people...... You only have a few years to go, and you're still hungry for the reconquest. …… Sir, you have made me in awe. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said lightly:

"It's nothing. Mr. Prime Minister, if the same fate befell you, you would only be better. ”

Hitler nodded and patted him on the shoulder.

"It is not impossible to accomplish this magnificent deed in five years," Hitler mused, "and now there are two behemoths lying across Eurasia." They have a glorious history and have conquered other peoples, but today they are all strong and corrupt. These two behemoths, one is Russian and the other is Manchu. Now if someone dares to push them and give them a hard blow, their formidable shell will shatter with a bang, revealing unbearable, already stinking and pus-bleeding internal organs. …… Yes, all that is needed now is that someone dares to push them. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was a little surprised. He did not expect Hitler to be so optimistic. He knew that Hitler had described the Soviet Union in this way. It was this realization that allowed Hitler to dare to blitz the Soviet Union. In fact, Hitler's understanding was correct, the Stalin regime had indeed lost the support of the people at home, and when the German army had just crossed the border, the Soviet people all welcomed the German soldiers with flowers, food, and wine, and a large number of Soviet troops in large formations defected and voluntarily surrendered to the German army, willing to help the German army fight.

At this time, as long as Hitler was a man of his right mind, he could quickly win Russia, and the Bolsheviks, the Soviet power, and Stalin would all die without a place to bury. But Hitler's personal likes and dislikes trumped reason. His extreme antipathy to the Eastern Slavic peoples led him to set a brutal Eastern policy long ago. Not only will he occupy the land, but he will destroy the people of the land. The German army was like beasts on the land of the Soviet Union, and the massacre and burning of entire villages were everywhere. Under the deliberate cruelty of cruelty, the mortality rate of Soviet prisoners of war was also extremely high.

The Soviet military and civilians quickly realized that Stalin was terrible, but the German fascists were even more terrible. In this way, because of Hitler's mad mind, the Soviet Union was pushed back into Stalin's arms with his own hands.

However, Xiang Xiaoqiang thought that Hitler should have seen the strength of the Manchus. Not long ago, the Manchu Qing Dynasty almost took the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which the whole world saw. The combat effectiveness of the Qing army should not be underestimated.

He voiced this concern, but Hitler immediately scoffed, shook his head and said:

"Sir, I'd rather think that God was hot-headed and mistakenly sided with the Manchus! That fog was so thick and lasted so long that it wouldn't happen in a hundred years! Especially since you're in East Asia, not Northern Europe! Even in the Nordic and British Isles, it's rare to see that kind of fog! If there had been such a fog in the English Channel in 1914, we would have crossed the English Channel, captured Britain, and won the war! …… And in the climate zone of East Asia, there is such a thick fog, I can only say that God is dizzy.

"However, even in the thick fog, the Qing army's most elite Eight Banners Division still surrenders to you! And as soon as the fog subsides, you immediately turn to a powerful counteroffensive! In the first few hours, it won strategic air supremacy, and then took the initiative to attack the Yangtze River and encircle Pukou! Sir, you personally commanded that battle, and you have seen with your own eyes how the 150,000 Qing troops rushed to surrender to you! …… Sir, don't doubt, don't doubt for a moment, and once you have power, give this fat giant a hard blow! The Manchus abandoned its people, and now it's God's turn to abandon it! ”

As soon as Hitler said this, Xiang Xiaoqiang thought about it, and he was almost full of confidence inspired by him. But Hitler changed his tune and added:

"But the biggest problem you face is how do you get the authority to do all this."

"Yes."

Then, in Xiang Xiaoqiang's opinion, Hitler showed his true colors as a madman, and said a sentence that made him jaw-dropping:

"Pursue your Empress!"
