81_81266 As the envoy of the German Führer, Guf and his retinue descended the suspension ladder and ascended to American soil. Although the soldiers of the two countries have been fighting in the dark in North Africa, on the surface, the two countries still have diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level, and they are normal relations countries that have not been at war in the traditional sense.

In fact, not long ago, the US envoy arrived in Berlin and expressed a solemn protest to the German Government against the sinking of the American transport ship.

Of course, no one really tracked down the sinking of the American transport ship by the German submarine, and no one really paid attention to the hysterical roar of the American envoy.

Dönitz's submarine forces are now spread across the Atlantic, and have even extended their reach into the icy Arctic Ocean. These underwater sharks swarm and sink any non-German-flagged ships they can see. They did sink American transports, and even hundreds of them, and these tens of tons of deeds are recorded in the Navy's operational reports at this moment, and the evidence is overwhelming.

If you still don't believe they did sink the American ship, check out these submarine captains with leaf-like Iron Crosses around their necks, boasting in the bar about how they stole food and wine like pirates before sinking American transports, and boasting to each other about their incredible numbers.

While rewarding these submarine war stars with the latest and coolest Mercedes-Benz cars, the most charming beauties, and the most luxuriously renovated bungalows, and transferring a large amount of money into their private accounts, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs vented his bitterness in front of the US envoy and swore that the German army would never do anything to attack American friends -- Merkel felt a little shameless, but he did enjoy this shameless process.

"Mr. Gouff, this time you have come to the United States on behalf of Germany, and you must explain to President Roosevelt, Mr. Roosevelt, the issue of the attack on our American merchant ships...... As soon as they met, the personnel of the US Foreign Department who was in charge of receiving Guff mentioned the successive incidents of German submarine attacks on merchant ships in the Atlantic.

"I'm sorry, sir. I have come to the United States on behalf of our German head of state, the great Mr. Accardo Rudolph, to meet with the President of the United States, Mr. Roosevelt...... I'm not here to talk about these little things. Gufu glanced at the chattering American diplomats around him, and said coldly: "How did your ship sink, do you want our Maritime Administration to take care of it?"

"You ......!" Who doesn't know that you Germans are responsible for these shipwrecks? Who doesn't know that your submarine has already begun patrolling the east coast of the United States? We even sank a German submarine a few days ago! The American diplomats cursed in their hearts.

In the end, the American diplomat, whose face was flushed, could not bear to point to Gufu's nose and said: "There are also times when you come to beg us to the United States! When the time comes, you had better remember today's arrogance and rudeness, and we Americans will definitely double it back to you!"

Gufu nodded and replied with a smile: "I hope there really will be a time, but even if there is a time, I will not be as hysterical as Your Excellency is today." ”

The ...... American diplomat felt that it was better to keep his mouth shut, as if he really had nothing to take advantage of a diplomat who was extremely strong selected by such an extremely powerful country.

Soon Gugh met with Mr. Roosevelt, the president of the United States, and the two men exchanged greetings and sat down on a sofa facing each other. The atmosphere of the meeting was so friendly that it was not at all obvious that the two countries were already stabbing each other in the Atlantic and North Africa.

"Your country owes me, the old man, an explanation, Mr. Guf. You have not yet given a reasonable explanation for the sinking of our merchant ship. Roosevelt did not give up on pursuing the matter of submarine warfare in the Atlantic, and after a couple of conversations, he shifted the issue to this matter.

Gufu obviously came prepared, and did not go around in circles or excuse himself at all. He put away his smiling face, put on a solemn face, looked at President Roosevelt and said: "Mr. President, since you think there should be an explanation, then the German submarine sank a transport ship bound for Britain instead of a merchant ship, do you think this explanation is reasonable?"

"No, no, Mr. Guf, these are not transports, they are merchant ships!" Roosevelt sneered, playing the trick that the Germans had played for a long time that they would not admit to death. He knew that the ships were full of arms and strategic supplies, but it was obvious that he could never admit it at this time.

"Mr. President. Guf, apparently guessing Roosevelt's attitude, continued: "If you don't admit that those ships are transports, then we won't admit that those ships were sunk by German submarines - it's as simple as that." ”

Obviously, neither side is willing to tear their skins apart, nor are they willing to give up the right to stab each other in secret. So the game will continue to be played like this until the power of one country between the two countries upsets the balance of the world.

Roosevelt was silent, but Gufu didn't stop his words, he looked at Roosevelt and continued to speak: "American tanks and cars appeared in North Africa, and our General Rommel defeated an American * team that came from nowhere on the North African battlefield, and captured more than 270 prisoners of this army...... Mr. Roosevelt, would you like to talk about this?"

"Is there such a thing?" Roosevelt pretended not to know the inside story, called his secretary, and the two men began to whisper there. It seems that they really only heard the news today, and it seems that those American soldiers really have nothing to do with the United States.

After learning some information about his subordinates, Roosevelt's eyes softened significantly, and then he looked at Gufu with a smile and replied, "Those American soldiers volunteered to go to North Africa to support the British in the war. Most of them had British relatives and friends, so they joined the British * team and fought for the British * team. This matter has nothing to do with the US Government, and I ask the German head of state to consider the historical and traditional relations between the United States and Britain, and not to affect the friendly relations between our two countries because of the spontaneous actions of the people. ”

Gufu looked at Roosevelt, his eyes were full of the look of knowing this, and his face was full of the word "underwhelming", as if to remind Roosevelt: You are already looking for a place for submarine warfare in the Atlantic in North Africa, so next time don't complain about the sinking of merchant ships, or I will talk about the American captives in North Africa!

Both men were silent for more than a dozen seconds, as if they were digesting the diplomatic attitude revealed by each other. Soon both of them seemed to understand, looked at each other and laughed.

"Germany does not want to be an enemy of the United States, we will try to exercise restraint in the Atlantic and North Africa, you know that we have always opposed the westward advance of the Soviet Union, and we are also resisting the encroachment of the Comintern. Gufu said with a smile: "I don't want the United States to ignore the common interests of the capitalist countries at this time and do things that are harmful to the capitalist countries." ”

Roosevelt nodded and replied with a smile: "The United States also hopes to maintain friendly relations with the powerful Germany, and the small friction in North Africa and the Atlantic Ocean will not affect our extensive cooperative relations in other fields!"

Germany is now concentrating on the war on the Eastern Front, so it does not have the time and energy to deal with the powerful United States, which is now worried that its interests in the Philippines will be undermined by Japan, and obviously does not want to set up a strong enemy like Germany. Neither country wants to tear apart the superficial layer of friendship, so they hit it off on this issue.

It seems that it was agreed that the United States seemed to have forgotten about the fact that German submarines were wreaking havoc in the Atlantic, and that their hundreds of shipwrecks were truly miserable, and that Germany never seemed to have seen American GIs in North Africa, and that there were always only British in Rommel's prisoner of war camps.

Gugh and Roosevelt had dinner together, and the two of them tasted tender steaks, tasted vintage red wines, and talked about music and sports. The 1936 Olympics were held in Italy because Accardo was busy with military build-up, and the German delegation's performance could only be described as decent.

But apparently there isn't much to talk about at this kind of diplomatic dinner, and after avoiding a lot of sensitive topics, there are only a handful of things that can keep everyone interested - you can't get the president of the United States and the special envoy of the head of state to talk about women together, so fencing and sailing are the main conversations.

"I heard that Yuan Xiansheng had many lovers? Isn't this a scandal for the leaders in Germany?" Roosevelt asked Gufu curiously at the end of the banquet.

Gufu was stunned for a moment, and then explained very proudly: "In the Middle East and the Far East, it is very reasonable for an emperor to have many concubines. Even if the Führer wants to ascend to the throne of the emperor now, I am very supportive, let alone dating a few more women?"

Nodding, Roosevelt brought the topic back to the Olympic long-distance running competition, and he lamented that his legs and feet were not convenient enough to appreciate the charm of fast and passionate sports.

But in his mind, there was an incomparably turbulent wave: the Führer's dominance in Germany was obviously far greater than that of the United States under his leadership, Accardo's words in Germany were almost orders, and Roosevelt's actions in the United States were always constrained by Congress -- in this respect, he thought that he could not surpass Accardo
