Chapter 400: 400 Mountain
81_81266 A conversation with the Chinese envoy made Accardo feel a lot better, and I have to say that China, as one of the oldest ancient civilizations in the world, has a profound cultural heritage that some copyists and nouveau riche can surpass - it is even difficult to imitate.
Accardo took the initiative to talk about the sinking of the No. 5 aircraft carrier by a British submarine in the Baltic Sea, which made the Chinese envoy truly appreciate the cruelty and bloodshed of the European battlefield. Germany's triumphant singing all the way was not unparalleled, and Britain was not passive at every turn, nor was it blindly beaten -- hundreds of thousands of tons of warships were sunk, and the competition between the capital ships of both sides in the Atlantic Ocean fascinated the Chinese envoys.
"Yuan Xiansheng, as an old capitalist power, Britain is still very deep, so after withstanding a painful defeat, they can still use their strength to succeed in a sneak attack on the Baltic Sea, and the information revealed in this is still worth your thought. The Chinese envoy said frankly: "I think that the British will not only not surrender in the future, but will resist more fiercely." ”
Accardo nodded and agreed: "This is also the result I expected, the British will not give up the world hegemon lightly, of course, we are more willing to step on the corpse of the British to ascend to the position of this overlord." ”
Subsequently, the Chinese envoy also gave a detailed introduction to some of the things in the Battle of Songhu, including the use of ME-109C by the two sides to fight for air supremacy, as well as the matter of the Japanese army crying for father and mother hit by Krupp artillery, of course, the final outcome is already known to everyone, the squadron was forced to abandon the Songhu area, and retreated to Nanjing, which is now in ruins.
"You fought very well in the Songhu battlefield, even exceeding my expectations. Accardo praised the squadron's cousin, to be honest, he was really frightened by the squadron's cousin, originally he thought that his assistance was to delay the war process slightly, but the squadron almost played a weak victory over the strong.
This kind of praise still made the Chinese envoy's face smile even more, after all, it is a very proud thing to be praised by the leader of a military power in person. Of course, if the person who praised it was the head of the Third Reich who destroyed Poland in 20 days and defeated the five countries of Hobbidan, Norway and France in 30 days, this effect would be even better: "Everywhere and everywhere, it is not the same as the Führer and your army." ”
Serious matters were negotiated, and most of the next ten minutes were spent in a friendly atmosphere of mutual praise, and finally Accardo personally sent the Chinese envoy to the car, ending the diplomatic negotiations. Accardo stood in the doorway, the smile on his face fading, and after taking a deep breath, he took the towel that Anna handed him and wiped his face.
"If you're tired, put off meeting for a while and take a break. Anna looked at Accardo who was wiping his face, and persuaded him distressedly.
"Someone I have to see. Accardo poked his face out of the towel, squeezed out a smile and said to Anna: "I know you feel sorry for me, but if I gave China a sweet date, I have to give a sweet date to the Japanese, otherwise it will not be good for us to mess up in the Far East." ”
In fact, along with the Chinese envoy, there was also Akado's old Japanese friend Yamashita. The Japanese diplomat even arrived a few hours before the Chinese envoy. However, the result of the discussion between the old man Augustus and Accardo was to meet with the Chinese envoy first, and then go to deal with the Japanese after getting the results.
Because China's diplomatic environment was worse than that of the cunning Japanese, and there were fewer options to choose from, both Augustus and Accardo believed that China's outcome was easier to determine and more stable. As a diplomatic envoy to China, Accardo determined the diplomatic means of meeting alone and persuading emotionally, while the situation on the Japanese side was more complicated, so Accardo also prepared a "crowd tactic" to deal with it.
So when Yamashita entered the well-prepared conference room, he was greeted by Accardo, Augustus, and Merkel - a lineup that flattered Yamashita and made him more stressed. At least he knew in his heart that in the face of such an all-star lineup, his little tricks were useless at all.
"Welcome, my Oriental friend, Mr. Yamashita. Accardo smiled and gave Yamashita a warm hug, if he didn't know that the head of state had just met with the envoy sent by the Chinese side half an hour ago, just looking at the current watch, it was completely like Germany and Japan were good enough to wear a pair of pants.
Augustus smiled knowingly, this Führer is more good at acting than when the two of them first met, and the level of hiding his feelings and thoughts is getting higher and higher, he has really found a good auxiliary object, and now he is just admiring it from the side, and it seems that he has a bit of the legendary imperial spirit.
Accardo smiled and let go of Yamashita, who had also changed into a smile, when Augustus was in a reverie, and said, "Mr. Yamashita is famous for not coming to the door for anything, what is the purpose of coming to me this time as an old friend? Could it be that something went wrong with the expansion of the Japanese Empire in the Far East?"
If it weren't for you Germans doing the trouble behind your back, how could the Great Japanese Empire not even be able to defeat the sick man of East Asia? It is the Americans who are the most difficult to deal with in this world, and you Germans are the most insidious! Yamashita laughed and slandered in his heart.
However, after laughing, he put aside what he was thinking and said, "Yuan Xiansheng is busy with work, so I won't go around in circles." This time I came to Germany to buy a lot of things from Germany. ”
"What's it?" Merkel asked on the side, since it was three people to greet the mountain together, then Acardo couldn't come alone for everything, he Merkel waved the flag to the Führer? What are you kidding? He is in charge of the charge, and Accardo is about the same behind the flag.
Both Augustus and Accardo looked down the hill, waiting for his answer. In fact, it is very easy to guess what the Japanese want, and what the Germans can get their hands on is nothing more than tanks, armored vehicles, individual weapons, and air force planes that Japan lacks. There are a lot of things, some can be given and some can't, it depends on how Japan bids.
"150 ME-109C fighters, we in the Great Japanese Empire will settle in cash!" Yamashita thought for a while and said: "Of course, we are willing to pay a larger fee, and hope that Germany can assist our Imperial Japanese Navy in developing a carrier-based fighter." ”
Without waiting for the Germans to speak, he continued to speak: "In addition, we are going to visit German tank factories, send apprentices and engineers, and learn German tank technology." We're going to see the production line of the Leopard tank! You can't fool us with mess!"
"And!" he seemed to be addicted, and rushed to pour out all his demands: "The navy of the Great Japanese Empire hopes to cooperate with the German navy and share a complete operational summary report! We are very interested in the German navy's combat plan and implementation process!"
Augustus nodded and said, "That's fine. The friendship between Japan and Germany is unbreakable, and we are willing to help our allies fulfill their aspirations for expansion in the Far East. We can all discuss these things...... But we need our Japanese allies to do us a small favor in Asia. ”
Knowing that there is no reason for good things to be given in vain, Yamashita nodded and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, I have admired the name for a long time, please speak up." ”
Augustus smiled slightly, and took out the plan he had discussed with Accardo before: "We need Japan to go north once before going south." ”
"This ......" Yamashita did not expect that the Germans would come up with such a problem, allowing Japan to provoke a war against the Soviet Union in the Far East, this is not a child's play, and if you are not careful, Japan may be doomed.
"Nor is it for you to go to war with the USSR in full-fledged terms. Accardo smiled and rounded: "As long as there is some conflict with the Soviet Union in the Outer Mongolia region, we can meet the demands of our Japanese friends if we win or lose." ”
Is it not an all-out war? This matter is not impossible to consider. Yamashita frowned and secretly struggled: it seems that it is not impossible to fight a tentative war with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union hopes to find out some of the reality of the Japanese Kwantung Army, why doesn't Japan want to test the depth of the Soviet Red Army's strength in the Far East?
However, it now seems that the pressure on Germany on the Soviet-German border by the Soviet Union has been quite large, and Germany has to make Germany compromise with Japan and show sincerity to distract the Soviets and delay the Soviet-German war in Europe...... Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Japan?
After weighing it up, Yamashita decided not to agree or refuse at first, and used a procrastination trick to solve the problem, and then delayed it for a few months: "I have to discuss this matter with the base camp, and I can't answer it immediately." But if we cooperate on this matter, then the issue of China ?......"
"You can rest assured. Merkel hastened to answer: "As soon as cooperation unfolds in such a full-fledged way, then Germany is ready to give up its interests in the Far East." ”
Yamashita nodded, got up and said goodbye: "I'll go back to the embassy, contact the country, and urge the base camp to make a decision." ”
Accardo also got up and hugged Yamashita again: "I'll send a car to pick you up in the evening, and we'll go to the best restaurant to eat steak together." ”
"It's a deal. Yamashita was obviously looking forward to it too, and smiled and agreed.
When the car under the mountain left the Führer's mansion, the mountain in the car restrained his smile and scolded a bitch. And Accardo, who was sitting in the room, smiled and said to Augustus and Merkel beside him: "How is it possible that the Japanese want to covet our technology, and not take 20,000 people to fill this hole and carry the black pot for Germany's eastern front for three months?"
