81_81266 Accardo quietly played with a blue and white porcelain vase from distant China, which was a gift from Chairman Chiang of China, from the hands of a famous artist, although it is not an antique, but it definitely has the value of becoming a unique piece. The German and Chinese echoes above make this bottle seem a little unusual, but it is the handwriting of a valuable calligrapher in later generations.

The reputation of the old general Sickt in Nanjing is no worse than the prestige of Accardo in Berlin, because this old general has brought earth-shaking changes to China's national defense, and these changes are not those bells and whistles and obscure theories, but things that really make the Chinese people strong.

It was an arms industrial base with more than 20 supporting production lines established in Wuhan, Chongqing and other regions. It was a precise number of trench bunkers that were set up in person, demonstrating how each machine-gun position was hidden and how to fire cross-fire. That is to describe the appearance of the First World War in his mind to the Chinese **, and to build the ** squadron into the new army of the East by himself.

This old man with his eyes closed, the Chinese have to love like a loved one. With this close affinity, Accardo deliberately or unintentionally subsidized the arms and production facilities that supplied China when he developed the Wehrmacht. After China was invaded by the Japanese in Shanghai and captured Nanjing, it was natural to think of this "friend of Europe".

As a result, the special envoy of the Republic of China, who was carrying a handwritten letter from Chairman Chiang, was now standing in such a cramped position in front of the German Führer Arcardor Rudolph. Both giving national gifts and talking about favors, it is natural to ask for help.

After the envoy finished talking about the long-standing revolutionary friendship between the two countries, and sang the praises of the great achievements of the old general Sikert, and seeing that he still had to talk about the future prospects of China and Germany, Accardo was not interested in dealing with such meaningless officialdom, so he interrupted the Chinese envoy's rambling and said: "You are not here to sing the praises of virtue, I am not here to love vanity, everyone has limited time, let's get down to business!"

As a result, the diplomatic conference, which could have lasted two hours or more, was left with three shriveled words -- begging for support. The Chinese Air Force has taken a fancy to the German ME-109C fighter jet and is desperate to buy another 50 of these fighters. The Chinese army had a greater appetite for German anti-tank rocket launchers and sniper rifles, but the navy did not want anything - because it was almost completely wiped out.

"Fighters are not a problem, I can even sell 70 to you. Accardo smiled and nodded in agreement with the Chinese envoy's request: "But you are not talking to me, but to talk to Romania, they have ready-made fighters and production capacity, and this deal can be negotiated with them - I will give you a letter, and the 'chief' you give them will give you a fair price." "The -109C is now really a real world fighter, used by China, Japan, Romania, Italy, France and even the United Kingdom, and almost half of the countries in the world that can afford to use fighters are ME-109C users.

"As for the Iron Fist Bazooka and the Sniper Rifle, we really can't provide it. Accardo said regretfully: "But you don't have to worry, I can introduce you to two alternative weapons, at least you can buy them from other friends." ”

He smiled and walked to the side of the huge globe in the office, gently flicked it with his hand to make the globe turn, and then pressed one hand on the territory of the Soviet Union, and said: "Buy their technology, large-caliber anti-tank guns, although not as powerful as the iron fist, but against the Japanese tin cans, more than enough." ”

"Thank you Führer for your generosity. Of course, the Chinese envoy was very satisfied with the response of the German head of state, Accardo, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

After 1840, China's diplomatic path was a long scroll full of humiliation and bitter humiliation, and every diplomat representing China could only survive in the cracks, and rarely even fell into disrepute.

However, since 1925, when the German head of state officially came to the forefront, it seems that China's diplomatic environment has improved more than a little bit, and everything that could not be done before can find a breakthrough in German diplomacy.

"But Mr. Special Envoy, I don't know whether to say it or not. Accardo suddenly spoke, and said in a consultative tone: "As the head of the German Führer, I am an outsider in this matter, and I can't say anything casually, so I just kindly make a suggestion, and I will not record this conversation in a diplomatic memorandum, can you understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three secretaries in charge of recording the diplomatic memorandum all stood upright, saluted the German, and then withdrew, which made the Chinese envoy even more marvel at the power and majesty of the German Führer in Germany.

Thinking of this, of course, the Chinese envoy would not disobey his benefactor, and immediately nodded and said: "Yuan Xiansheng, please mention what you have to say, I will definitely pass on your words to Chairman Jiang as they are." ”

Accardo thought for a while, but still said: "Presumably, your country has suffered a big loss on the Nanjing defense line, and the ammunition and weapons in reserve have also lost a lot. The current situation is worse than self-deception. Don't be in a hurry to deny it, you can hide it from others, but you can't fool me...... Although our technicians have helped you find a few small iron mines in some areas, I know about as much as your chairman about what kind of war you have in stockpiles. ”

Speaking of this, Accardo patted the Chinese envoy with a somewhat embarrassed face, and continued: "So I can tell Mr. Chairman very responsibly that it is very unrealistic to rely on China and Japan to fight alone. Once Japan is completely consumed on Chinese soil, then Japan will compromise with the United States, and finally the two sides will reach an agreement, then China's three eastern provinces and even North China will never be able to get it back......"

He is not alarmist, once Japan realizes that it cannot fully occupy China, it will retreat to the next best thing, compromise with the United States, and digest the occupied zone in the northeast. At that time, China will not be able to counterattack - the end result will easily become a dead end in which the three eastern provinces are forced to recognize the independence. This is certainly not a situation that China wants to see, or that even Accardo does not want to see.

The fundamental purpose of Germany's aid to China was actually to delay the time for a head-on conflict between Japan and the United States and to create the best opportunity for Germany's strategic deployment in Europe. However, Cheng Dù, who aided China, failed a little, and now it seems that he has given a little too much, which makes Japan, which is also a swollen face and fat man, a little unbearable.

In the event that Japan completely gave up on confronting the United States, then Accardok would have shot himself in the foot. The terrible war potential of the United States will all be pressed on the German side in the future, and Accardo knows what the consequences will be if he flips through the Pacific War, so he is not willing to try lightly.

Now he had to deign to discuss the future of the world with China, which was not a world power in the Far East: "It is very easy to rely on China's own strength to confront Japan, and it will be thankless for Japan to retreat to the next best thing and divide China, which will have an adverse impact on China's development in the future." So you should pull the United States into the water and find a way for Japan to challenge the United States. ”

"Yuan Xiansheng, I know what you said is very reasonable, but it takes a lot of courage to do so, and there are many unpredictable follow-up crises......" The Chinese envoy is obviously not stupid, or the Chinese side has considered a plan that Accardo did not explain.

This plan is to give up part of the territory, expand the crisis caused by Japan in China, make US interests in Asia, or in the Far East and the South Seas, an obstacle to Japan's continued expansion, and induce Japan to go to Southeast Asia to fight the United States. However, there is also a risk that if Japan and the United States are not fooled, it will be tantamount to saying that China has ceded large swathes of territory for nothing - which is certainly not a good thing.

"They must make mistakes! If they don't make mistakes, Germany will be defeated, and at least half of China's territory will become Japan's pocket!" Akado looked out the window at the sky and said, "We must gamble with our lives, with our souls...... Go to fight for the future of a nation you love the most. ”

He turned around and said in a slightly stiff but fluent Chinese dialect: "Believe me, there is no ill will towards the ancient Chinese nation. ”

The Chinese envoy, who was quite good at German, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly looked at the tall German Führer in front of him, his eyes full of curiosity. After a long time, he slowly spoke, and replied in Chinese: "Please rest assured, I will definitely tell the chairman of the committee the words of the Führer as they are." ”

Then he asked in German: "Can I ask you a presumptuous question, why is it that Japan is an ally of Germany, but Germany is so helpful to the weak China against Japanese aggression?"

Accardo smiled, smiling brightly: "Mr. Special Envoy, for the time being, Japan and Germany are allies. But in the long run, Germany prefers to be an ally with a powerful China. I have planted a seed of kindness now, and in a few years it will blossom into a beautiful flower – and the fruit will change the world!"

"It seems like you're seeing a lot of future that Chinese can't believe...... Will we be strong enough to dominate the world?" said the Chinese envoy's eyes.

"As long as you don't give up and move forward like Germany, you can wait for an answer. Accardo replied with a smile
