Episode 80 Exchange of Interests

Xiang Xiaoqiang secretly cursed in his heart, Hitler clearly knew that the Ming Dynasty cooperated with it, and the first article was definitely not to recognize the Manchu Qing, which showed that the severance of diplomatic relations with the Manchu Qing was within the scope of his tolerance. Now he is still holding on to this problem, he just wants to use this bargain to try to get Daming to take more things out and Germany to take less things.

Hitler also waved his palms and stood next to the sofa and gushed in self-devotion. Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't interject for the time being, but sat on the sofa and watched coldly. On the one hand, he is angry, and on the other hand, he thinks about what to do next.

Hitler was an extremely self-centered man, he was characterized by always being on no occasion or object, and once he spoke, as long as no one interrupted him, he became more and more excited, and he could talk for hours. Many other heads of state met with him, such as Chamberlain, Mussolini, Hushnyg, etc., and they often did not intervene from beginning to end.

Hitler first scolded the "Versailles Treaty" and scolded it as worthless. And those who participated in the formulation, Hitler even said them together with the words "Jews", "pigs", "syphilis", and "maggots". The translator behind him was still embarrassed at first, and he was stumbling when translating these words, but later saw that Xiang Xiaoqiang was not only not "inexplicably surprised", but listened with great interest, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Hitler went back to the cause of Germany's defeat in World War I. He said it was all because the Jews and international conspirators had stabbed Germany in the back with a dagger...... He went on to talk about the contribution of the German nation to European civilization over the centuries and how Europe had treated the German nation unfairly.

Ninety percent of these Xiaoqiang had never heard of it, so he made up a European history lesson. Of course, he knew in his heart that this was Hitler's version of the view of history, and it is difficult to say how much credibility there was in it. …… Then Hitler talked about race, about how the Jewish conspirators, and the "warmongers" of the democracies, had allowed the rise of the Bolsheviks in Europe in order to dismember Germany......

……

After watching Hitler's somewhat clown-like performance for a while, Xiang Xiaoqiang's original sense of awe and tension for Hitler also disappeared. In the end, Xiang Xiaoqiang saw that he was too far away, tried to pull him back, and interjected a few times before successfully interrupting him.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you are very knowledgeable," Xiang Xiaoqiang said with a grin, "but you see it's already past eleven o'clock, and we don't have much time in the morning." ”

Hitler was not used to being forcibly interrupted, and his expression was a little confused. He was very unsatisfied, so he said:

"It's okay, I'm going to invite you to dinner at noon, and we can talk while we eat. I think we can talk about it. ”

"Ah...... I'm sorry, Mr. Prime Minister," Xiang Xiaoqiang said with a smile, "Let's talk in the morning, I made an appointment with my wife at noon, and we went out for dinner." ”

Hitler was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand generously:

"Oh, that's okay, call your wife and tell her that I've invited her along. You're out for dinner anyway, and I can assure you you won't find a better lunch in Berlin than mine. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled secretly: Lao Xi, Lao Xi, don't you know what a "light bulb" is? …… However, it would be awesome to have Hitler next to him as a light bulb. According to the rules, I brought a female dependent, and the master also asked the female dependent to come out to accompany me. Then maybe you can even meet the legendary Eva Braun!

But Xiang Xiaoqiang still has to buy a good one to achieve his ultimate goal. He laughed:

"In that case, Mr. Prime Minister, I would like to ask your permission to bring my three traveling companions with me, and we will all talk together, so that it will be more lively. And they're all talkative, too, and you're sure to be very talkative with them. …… What do you say? ”

Hitler stared at him for a few seconds, grinned and patted his arm:

"Call them all together."

Hitler also knew that his attempt to negotiate with Xiaoqiang alone had been discovered, and that he would have to face the professional diplomats of the Ming Dynasty.

……

The interpreter of the Prime Minister's Office called the hotel of Xiang Xiaoqiang's delegation, and Qiu and three old advisers soon arrived in a car.

The three old men were surprised to receive Hitler's invitation to lunch. It is said that the meeting began at ten o'clock, and now it is almost twelve o'clock, and the courtesy meeting will not be so long, and the fact that he stayed for dinner at noon shows that there must have been a lot of talking. Especially Song Ruhai, who intuitively guessed that Hitler was throwing the three old guys away and engaging in "asymmetric negotiations" with Xiang Xiaoqiang, a hairy boy, alone. Where was Xiang Xiaoqiang Hitler's opponent? Hitler's mouth can be fooled, and now Xiang Xiaoqiang may have "betrayed" how many national interests!

They hurriedly drove to the Prime Minister's Office with Qiu Yu.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, they couldn't see Xiang Xiaoqiang, who was still Bowman's face that was neither yin nor yang, and asked them to wait in the waiting hall with a smile. Several people were anxious, but they couldn't break through, so they could only wait. Seeing that the clock was about twelve o'clock, a secretary came over and said that lunch was ready, and invited them to the dining room.

Several people followed the secretary to the dining room, where Hitler and Xiang Xiaoqiang were already there. As soon as Hitler and Xiang Xiaoqiang saw them, they stood up with a smile on their faces. Xiang Xiaoqiang introduced them with a smile.

When Song Ruhai was introduced, Hitler patted Song Ruhai's arm affectionately and said loudly:

"Mr. Song, I know you! You are an old friend of the German people! ”

Song Ruhai is already a veteran of diplomacy, and during the Weimar period, he even met President Hindenburg many times. But Hitler's enthusiastic style, he still didn't quite fit in. He also smiled and exchanged a few words in German, expressing his admiration for Hitler's contribution to the German economy and the German people.

It was the first time he had seen such a big person, and Hitler was relatively famous among the heads of state. She was even more nervous than Xiang Xiaoqiang, her face was flushed, her smile was stiff, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand, and Hitler naturally held it over, bent down and kissed it.

Yes...... sent a sad cry to Xiaoqiang's heart: Qiu Qiu's jade hand was still kissed by this big devil......

From entering the Prime Minister's Office until now, the three old men have not had the opportunity to talk to Xiang Xiaoqiang alone, and they can't ask what they talked about in the morning. But this is not a problem for these old diplomats.

As soon as everyone sat down at the table, Song Ruhai bowed in his chair and asked Hitler directly in German:

"Mr. Prime Minister, where is the nearest bathroom?"

Hitler beckoned, and a waiter next to him immediately came. The waiter bent down and said to Song Ruhai:

"Sir, please come with me."

Song Ruhai got up and apologized to Xiaoqiang and them in Chinese, saying that he was going to the bathroom. Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately stood up for the second time and said with a smile:

"Oh, that's right, I'm a little anxious too. I had a great conversation with Mr. Prime Minister in the morning, but I never had a chance to ......."

Immediately afterwards, Sun Jiye and Wang Hexiang stood up one after another, and they also apologized one after another, saying that they would follow.

Hitler just nodded, took the new newspaper from the waiter, put on his glasses, and sat down on the table to read it.

……

Now only Qiu Yu and Hitler are left at the table.

Qiu Yu looked at Hitler, who was looking down at the newspaper opposite, and nervously did not dare to move. At this time, the first few cold dishes had been placed on the table, and the cups, plates, knives and forks in front of everyone were also placed. Qiu Yun subconsciously touched the tableware in front of him, and as a result, the two silver knives collided, making a pleasant sound.

Hitler looked up, only to realize that there was another lady opposite. He hurriedly took off his glasses and apologized with a smile:

"Oh, I'm sorry ma'am, I've always been like this."

Qiu Yu smiled nervously: "Ah...... It's okay, it's okay......."

Seeing Qiu Yu so nervous, Hitler consciously eased the atmosphere for her. He made two jokes, and then talked about the Heaven and Earth Society.

This was a surprise to Qiu Qiu, she didn't expect Hitler to know about the Heaven and Earth Society. She also knew that Hitler was talking about the Heaven and Earth Society, apparently because she was here, but she really didn't expect that a German chancellor would know so much about a gang on the other side of the world.

"I have a lot of respect for Chen Yonghua," said Hitler, "who, three hundred years ago, assisted Empress Changping and Zheng Chenggong in recovering the south of the Yangtze River in your country, so that the Eastern civilization was not completely destroyed by the Tatars." This is his merit to humanity. …… As for the Heaven and Earth Society, many people now, including many people in your country, regard it as an ordinary gang organization...... This is not allowed.

"It's a political organization with a clear political aspiration and a long history. For three hundred years, it was a symbol of the non-submission of the civilized race to the Tatars. …… Unfortunately, its purpose is to 'oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty', but it has not yet been realized. Madame, it is a great honor for you to be born in the Heavens and Heavens. It's your responsibility to make it ZTE in this generation. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, it is an underworld, but in the mouth of the German Chancellor, it has become a symbol of China's unyieldingness, which makes Qiu Yu excited. She excitedly told Hitler about life and anecdotes in the gang, and even talked about the New Year's coup d'état, under the leadership of Xiang Xiaoqiang, the Heaven and Earth Society temporarily selected people to form the primitive People's Guard and became a great hero. Hitler listened with interest.

Suddenly, Qiu Yu realized that these things couldn't be talked about, and immediately closed his mouth. She smiled weakly, picked up the crystal glass, and took a sip of mineral water.

"Madame, you must be very proud of your husband," Hitler lamented, "and it is a gift from God that you have such a talent as your husband." ”

"Hehe......" Qiu Yun became more and more embarrassed, and smiled, "Mr. Prime Minister, look at what you said...... He's so young...... A lot of the time like a child......"

Hitler laughed:

"But when I was his age, I was just a corporal."

Qiu Yu was modest on his lips, and his heart was happy.

……

The three old men lowered their voices in the bathroom, "interrogated" Xiang Xiaoqiang, and asked almost every conversation between him and Hitler, and then put the hanging heart back into his stomach.

"You're just agreeing to him for now, and we're only recognizing the Danzig corridor?"

All three turned on the faucets to the maximum, and the sound of "whooshing" water filled the entire bathroom to minimize interference with possible eavesdropping devices.

"Well, yes," Xiang Xiaoqiang also kept rushing his hands under the faucet, and laughed quietly, "Fortunately, Hitler only talked about his own, and he couldn't finish talking, otherwise, I would have to give him Austria perhaps......"

The three old men glanced at each other, and then Song Ruhai said:

"Well, my lord, you have done a good job and have not taken advantage of Germany...... But you're holding your money bag too tightly. Only one Danzig corridor is allowed to let people sever diplomatic relations with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is normal for people not to agree. We can't say yes either. Well, let's talk to him in the afternoon, and if not, mention Austria, and let Germany spit out more...... But even if you sign it, you must sign a secret treaty. This is not like the Danzig corridor, where the German-Austrian merger is not on the table. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the other two, and they both nodded in agreement. Xiang Xiaoqiang also nodded in agreement:

"That's fine."

A few people returned to the dinner table, and Qiu Yun and Hitler were talking speculatively.

"Xiaoqiang," Qiu Yun said with a smile, "Mr. Prime Minister is saying that he admires you very much." ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and showed modesty to Hitler's slight bow. Several people sat down and looked down at the crystal cup in front of them. It's all mineral water. Look at the dishes on the table, they are very exquisite, but they are all vegetarian dishes.

Hitler, while wrapping a napkin, apologized to everyone and said with a smile:

"The elephant is the most powerful animal in nature, but even it can't stand meat."

Several people looked at each other and laughed in a funny way.

……

After lunch, the old diplomats under Xiang Xiaoqiang began to officially "exchange fire" with Hitler. Both sides have shown twelve points of ability, arguing with each other, and refusing to give in to each other. But the Xiaoqiang delegation clearly underestimated Hitler's bargaining power, and when they threw out their bargaining chips in favor of a German-Austrian merger, Hitler was only slightly surprised, and did not show the overjoyed reaction they expected.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that Hitler reluctantly agreed to exchange the Ming Dynasty's secret agreement in support of the German-Austrian merger, coupled with the Ming Dynasty's support for the statement that "the Danzig Corridor is part of Germany", in exchange for the complete severance of diplomatic relations between Germany and the Manchus, as well as Germany's recognition that "China north of the Yangtze River is part of the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

In this way, two of the big chips in the hands of Xiang Xiaoqiang's delegation were used up at once, only in exchange for the severance of diplomatic relations between Germany and the Manchus, and the recognition that North China belonged to the Ming Dynasty. Things are not going well than expected.

But Hitler was also very puzzled: how did they guess what they were trying to do? The German-Austrian merger was still a dream for Germany, which had only "stolen back" the Rhineland with trepidation and was just trying to announce an expansion. Germany is still very weak, and Hitler is gambling every step of the way. As long as Britain and France decided to stop him, Germany would be beaten back to its original shape.

The secret agreement of Daming to support the merger of Germany and Austria is still just a piece of paper. Hitler believed that it would not be until at least a few years later, when Germany was strong enough to support this unprecedented gamble. Until then, this secret treaty could only be kept in a safe.

At half past two o'clock, because Hitler had other arrangements, Xiang Xiaoqiang and his party left the Chancellery.
