Chapter 896: The Old Führer
Chapter 896: The Old Führer
Before Tang Qiuli went to meet with the German Führer, he had a premonition that today's meeting would not be too smooth, and that the Japanese would kick him in the middle, and that good things would become bad things.
The biggest bargaining chip of the Japanese is that they now occupy the Far East region of the Soviet Union, and they can not hold down the Soviet army to the point that they cannot raise their heads, and the confidence of the whole country for this important victory has skyrocketed, but the Japanese, from Emperor Hirohito to ordinary citizens, are all pig brains, Stalin only used one-fifth of the country's troops, while the Japanese used nearly one-third of the troops, and if it is consumed for a long time, the Japanese will not want to do anything else.
At the very least, the Chinese land, which is popular with the Japanese, and the rich Southeast Asia, will not have much strength to touch, and all the forces of the Kwantung Army will be contained in the Far East, and they will not be able to do anything in the north at all, which is the result that Tang Qiuli is most willing to see, if Hirohito wants to launch a new war against China again, he can only squeeze the domestic war potential again.
With the small size of the Japanese, the poor natural resources in the country can withstand a few heavy bleedings, and then provoke the two behemoths of the Americans and the Soviets, and the Japanese can also be consumed to death, not to mention, there is also a foreshadowing of their own burial in the northeast region, if necessary, to deal a fatal blow to the Kwantung Army, to seize the front of the United States and the Soviet Union, and to reap all the benefits of the defeat of Japan.
Tang Qiuli's strategic vision at this time has been considered from a global perspective, as long as Germany and Japan cannot form an alliance and cut off the channel of blood transfusion to Japan, the Japanese will be weakened a little bit after bleeding once, so Tang Qiuli does not pay much attention to whether he can establish some kind of alliance with Germany, and the main purpose is to prevent and destroy the alliance between Japan and Germany.
If Japan does not send a delegation to Berlin this time to sabotage its own good deeds, the purpose of Tang Qiu's visit to Germany will not change, since the Japanese have come in, then fight hard, in the words he joked with Shanhu and others, "Making the Japanese uncomfortable is a good thing after all." ”
There is nothing else to ask for, but he is also calm, so that the Germans who came to pick him up are confused, they have not seen the dignitaries of any country, and when they go to see the Führer, they are still so relaxed, even the Führer's hardcore ally, the Italian Prime Minister, the fascist leader Mussolini is not good, the Führer is now a big man who can influence the political situation in Europe, especially the SS major who sat in the co-pilot seat in front, and peeked at Tang Qiuli from time to time.
The motorcade drove into the Chancellery, and the German Führer Hitler, who had already led senior officials of the German and Nazi Party, government, and military to wait in the hall of the Chancellery, put on such a grand pomp, from time to time because of how important Tang Qiuli was in Hitler's mind, but it was a kind of compensation, and it could also be said that the Führer was somewhat guilty.
Since the Japanese delegation arrived in Berlin, Tang Qiuli's weight in the Führer's mind was far less than that of Japan, and with the Japanese Kwantung Army pressing the Russians on the line of the Outer Khingan Mountains and occupying a large area of land in the Soviet Far East, Hitler had already tilted the scales in favor of an alliance with Japan, not to mention, an alliance with Japan, and the factors strongly recommended by his old friend Mussolini.
This is also the main reason why Hitler did not attend the dinner to welcome Tang Qiuli, but after all, Tang Qiuli was invited by His Excellency the Führer several times and three times, so he left it aside, which is not very in line with international etiquette.
Hitler even thought about forming allies with Tang Qiuli and the Japanese, and Tang Qiuli reconciled with the Japanese and jointly dealt with the Russians in the East, but His Excellency knew that the feud between the Japanese and the Chinese and Tang Qiuli's attitude towards the Japanese was absolutely impossible and could only be used as a good wish.
Speaking of which, this is also a piece of history, when Mr. Hitler was wounded and discharged from the army after participating in World War I, and lived in Vienna, the capital of Austria, in Hún, penniless, poor, and the indifferent interpersonal relations of Europeans humiliated and devastated Mr. Hitler, who was still a street rogue in Vienna at that time.
Perhaps from then on, Hitler was full of hatred for the world, so after he took power in Germany, the first thing he killed was his homeland Austria, which he swallowed and became part of the German Third Reich.
And an ordinary Chinese family in Vienna, when His Excellency the Führer was most unhappy in his life, gave him unsī, Chinese-style care and warmth, and it turned out to be his lonely heart, deeply shocked and extremely moved, the Nazi Party came to power, engaged in racism in Germany, and some people were excluded and discriminated against, and they have always been at the bottom of society.
However, His Excellency the Führer said that Chinese was "a special and unusual race of people who deserve more rights," and from 1937 to 1941, the German government helped China in various ways in the War of Resistance Against Japan, in addition to providing a large number of German-style equipment, and also sent a large number of active officers of the German Wehrmacht Gao Su zhì as military advisers to command the Central Army to fight against the Japanese army.
This kind of assistance was not interrupted until the outbreak of the Soviet-German War in 1941, and the Second World War ended with the victory of the Allies.
This is also easy to understand, no one wants to get into trouble, especially after World War II, the world was dominated by the United States and the Soviet Union, but the clues of various non-governmental publications are still enough to prove that the Hitler government at that time did not provide any assistance to China, but there was no official historical record, this special honeymoon period between China and Germany, so annihilated in the long river of history, whether it is a historical defect, or a deliberate avoidance, only God knows.
Out of his cordiality with China, His Excellency the Führer was particularly fond of China's ancient art of war and military books, and after taking power, he always kept Chinese books on his desk for reading, and even read them at night, and carefully made reading notes, from his feelings for a Chinese family to his love for the whole country, nation and culture, it seems to be a bit fantastical, but in this regard, Hitler, who is called the Demon King by Westerners, is a thousand times better than the Japanese.
His Excellency the Führer always drank coffee in public to show the excellent traditions of the Germanic people, but under Sī, his subordinates knew that Chinese tea was the favorite of His Excellency.
Moreover, in his correspondence with some important generals, His Excellency the Führer even put forward the great idea of dividing the world into two worlds, with Bakastan (the area of Jiāo boundary between the eastern part of Bōlan and the Soviet Union) as the boundary, and the west (including Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the west coast of the Atlantic) as the territory of the Third German Reich.
The East (including Asia Minor, India, and the west coast of the Pacific Ocean) is the territory of the Republic of China, and Germany governs the world; if this crazy and great idea of Your Excellency the Führer is realized, the current world pattern will never be as messy as it is now, and only God knows how far our Chinese nation has gone.
It is undeniable that Hitler's affection for China and the Chinese is absolutely sincere, which is why he tried his best to invite Tang Qiu to visit Germany, but for the long-term interests of the German Empire, this affection can only give way to national interests, and the Japanese have done better than Tang Qiuli, and His Excellency the Führer is even ready to come up with something to compensate Tang Qiuli.
And the senior officials of the German party, government, and military who were waiting for Tang Qiuli to arrive in the hall of the Chancellery with the Führer, did not understand the Führer's intention in doing this, but he was only the No. 2 person in a poor and weak country, and could he afford such a big show? But this was an order given by the Führer himself, and they did not dare not come, but in their hearts they did not think so, which can be seen from the impatient look on their faces.
Tang Qiuli, under the guidance of two SS majors, walked into the hall of the Chancellery, and when he saw this kind of scene, he was also shocked, and those who were present were not the characters who were calling for wind and rain in Germany, but his expression seemed to look down on himself, and he was more scrutinized, which was quite unfriendly, especially the two senior SS officers, he swept his eyes and had taken in everyone's expressions.
Hitler was taken aback at first, he already had a general understanding of Tang Qiuli from various sources, but when they met, they were still surprised by his youth, such a young man could climb to the throne of the second person in the government of the Republic of China, and also gave the Japanese and the Soviets a lot of headaches, it should not be simple.
"My friend, welcome to Germany," Hitler stretched out his arms from afar and gave Tang Qiuli an affectionate hug, Tang Qiuli was held in the arms of His Excellency the Führer, without a trace of nervousness and jī movement, but there was a very strange feeling, this is to stir up the bloody storm of World War II, occupy the whole of Europe, the legendary hero, in another time and space, feel Hitler's relatively thin body.
There is no European height and majesty at all, and Hitler's voice is definitely not rich, it is a sharp, rapid feeling, slightly neurotic, this is a very emotional person, easy to go extreme and even crazy, Tang Qiuli compared the memory in his mind with reality, came to his own judgment, and returned a strong hug.
Subsequently, His Excellency the Führer introduced Fei Tangqiuli to the senior officials of the German party, government and military who were present one by one, this is a rare opportunity, that person who is not a famous person in the world, Tang Qiuli looked at everyone carefully, not only to feel their psychological changes, but also to compare them with the memories in his mind.
The opening was good, at least the atmosphere on the surface was very harmonious, but Tang Qiuli could see that there was something strange hidden in the hearts of these people.
