Chapter 65: 65 The Far East in Turmoil

Headquarters of the Großdeutsche Zeitung of the Greater Deutsche Party. The phone kept ringing, and the people around were busy, some were struggling to write, and some were confirming the problem with the person on the other end of the phone. And at the very end, around a long table, there were several people sitting in a meeting.

"Hurry up here! Highlight the chaotic situation in the Far East in as large a font as possible! Subtitle the slogan of the Greater German Party that wants peace to last forever. That's right!" Fanny pointed to the sample magazine and instructed a few cadres around her: "And here, expand this advertisement a little more! This is an advertisement for Mercedes-Benz Motors! They have a cooperation agreement with us! So leave the best for them!"

"Understood!" a few cadres nodded yes.

"Also, how is the article criticizing Hitler's contempt for peace prepared? I will put him and Chairman Accardo's comments on the revitalization of national defense in the next issue of the newspaper. Fanny asked, looking up.

"This ...... Still...... Still preparing. A cadre in charge of the matter said hesitantly.

Fanny's eyes scanned back and forth between him and the others twice, and then with a wave of her hand, she ordered, "It's going to be here, you stay, and the others can go." After she finished speaking, everyone except Minister Matthoff and the cadre hurriedly packed up their things and left.

"I'll give you 2 minutes, and if you can't tell you why, I'll deduct three months' salary. Fanny asked.

"Deputy Minister Fanny, after Hitler's release from prison, the Nazi Party has been more active than before, and our propaganda, especially the negative propaganda programs on the part of the Nazi Party, have been affected to a certain extent. An official complained to Fanny from one end of the table.

Fanny frowned, "Oh? we've been affected too?

"This, this, it's hard to say. The cadre was a little flickering.

"Say, or you won't have to go to work tomorrow." Fanny ordered.

As if to turn his heart across, the cadre whispered: "I heard that two of our reporters were injured, and several of them were intimidated, and they were asked to use as gentle words as possible when reporting to the Nazi Party, and they were not allowed to report negative news about the Nazi Party. ”

Fanny was a little surprised: "What? They dare to hit people? You won't call the police? Could it be that you were beaten stupid?"

"We have no evidence. Those brownshirts rushed in and beat them, and after the beating, they dispersed in a hurry, and we sent people to testify against them, and they also had people testify, and the police did not like to ask questions about this kind of confusion. "That cadre has been suffering lately, and now he poured it out in one breath in front of Fanny.

"Prepare the car! Go to the General Headquarters of the Wehrmacht! Minister Matthoff, please help me make an appointment with Chairman Accardo, I will see him at once. Fanny said to Matthoff, who was sitting next to her, as she put on her coat.

Matthoff sighed softly helplessly, this Fanny is becoming more and more like the propaganda minister of the Greater German Party, and his own propaganda minister is more and more like her secretary. Grabbing the telephone next to him, Matthoff habitually helped Fanny get things done.

"The situation in the Far East is volatile, and although most of the civilian enterprises have withdrawn from the war zone, one German expatriate is still wounded. A member of the Großdeutsche Party in the diplomatic service reported from Accardo's office. He was also flanked by Reinhardt Heydrich and Gascoll, as well as Foreign Minister Streismmann.

"The Kuomintang troops officially began the Northern Expedition in mid-July, and Sickert became Chiang Kai-shek's personal military staff. Gascol said.

"The Japanese are protesting against the fact that our arms sales are affecting peace in the Far East, and the Americans, who are not satisfied with the security problems in China, are putting pressure on us. The debriefing diplomat glanced at Streisman before adding.

"The British were even more annoyed, they directly intervened in the war, the warship Koktev opened fire on the Chinese in Wanxian, and the Chinese relied on the purchased Chinese artillery to carry out limited return fire, but there was no news that the British were hit. Streisman also rubbed his temples and said.

Accardo waved his hand: "I already know this, Colonel Smith came to me yesterday, and he said that the British government was very angry about our sale of weapons to Chiang Kai-shek, and asked us to explain. ”

"The Japanese have to explain, the Americans have to explain, the British have to explain...... We also don't know how to explain to them that China will fight this year. Reinhardt Heydrich said with some annoyance: "I have read the information, most of the weapons we sold to China before last year, can we not know the prophet?"

"Bell, bell, bell. The phone on Accardo's desk rang, and Accardo motioned for the others to be quiet, then reached out and grabbed the receiver, "Hey, I'm Accardo." ”

"I'm Matthoff, and Miss Fanny is in the car that has come to you, and I'll be there in about five minutes. On the other end of the phone, Matthoff's voice came.

"I see, you've worked hard. I will remember what you did for the party. Accardo hung up the phone.

Then he went on to order: "Apologize to the Japanese, the Americans, and the British, and admit that we have not considered the sale of weapons." I will personally invite Mr. Smith to dinner, and Germany supports the decision made by the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Japan and others in this regard. ”

"Telegraph to General Sickett and ask him to tactfully state to Mr. Chiang Kai-shek the fact that we do not wish to see a further deterioration of the situation in the Far East, and that we will support the British government in the Wanxian conflict, hoping that the Chinese side will refrain from provoking the world powers. After Acardo finished speaking, he stood up and gasped: it seems that it is not a pleasant thing to suppress the original motherland.

"Then what should we do? By stopping the arms export to Chiang Kai-shek, we will lose one income and one of our partners in Far Eastern China. Streisman said with a frown.

"Chiang Kai-shek is a smart man, so he will not count us as his enemies because of this little thing. Accardo shook his head and said, "It can be said that China has no real friends, so they won't kick us away." ”

"Then we just cut off our ties with China?" asked Reinhardt Heydrich, puzzled.

Accardo glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's broken? How can it be broken? Sickert is still by Chiang Kai-shek's side, almost all of Chiang Kai-shek's military factories were built with our assistance, and we have to share half of the profits for every gun he makes, how can such a relationship be broken off?"

He walked to the wall facing his desk, came to the world map hanging on the wall, and pointed to China in the Far East, and then to the Soviet Union above China: "I am now more concerned with our plans in the Soviet Union than with distant China. ”

"Of the 14 railways that were built in the Soviet Union, only 9 were under construction due to financial constraints, and the progress was not fast. The diplomat looked at the information in his hand and said: "On the contrary, the Soviet-class battleships that secretly assisted the Soviet Union in the construction are making rapid progress, and the first Soviet Union has begun to lay keels." ”

"Reliable intelligence from within the Soviet Union. Thanks to our machine tool assistance, the Soviet military was able to repair the captured French Renault F-17 tanks on their own, and Soviet tank factories had begun to develop a new type of tank, which the Soviet military gave the designation MS-1 tank. Gascol said.

"The Soviets had to focus on building roads. Accardo thought for a moment and said. It seems that it is necessary for Merkel to go to the USSR again, and Accardo does not want to let his tank wheels get bogged down in the muddy roads of the USSR in the near future.

While a few people were discussing, there was a knock on the door, and it was Fanny who walked in as Accardo had said.

"What's the matter?" asked Accardo when he saw Fanny.

Fanny didn't go around in circles, but said directly in front of everyone present: "Hitler has been released from prison, and the SA of the Nazi Party has become more and more lawless, and they have threatened our newspaper reporters and affected our propaganda activities! Although we have not caused any major trouble so far, I am afraid that in the long run, we will suffer more and more by using only legal means." ”

Accardo nodded and looked at Reinhardt Heydrich, "Reinhardt, what can you do to solve this problem for our Miss Fanny?"

"It's very simple, Miss Fanny. Reinhardt said politely: "Whoever comes to make trouble, we will fight, fight back, they dare not come to make trouble, and when they think of their accomplices lying in the grave, they feel that it is good to be alive, then we will be safe." ”

"Who is this?" Fanny frowned at the handsome guy in front of her, he was so handsome and dashing that people couldn't bear to associate him with words like violence and cruelty, but every word that came out of his mouth was bloody, suffocating horror.

"Oh, not yet. Accardo pointed to Reinhardt Heydrich and introduced Fanny: "He is Colonel Reinhardt Heydrich, Commander-in-Chief of the Greater German SS, responsible for protecting the Party. Of course, we are also responsible for the safety of all of you. ”

Reinhardt stepped forward and stood upright, waiting for Accardo's introduction before looking at Fanny, "Beautiful young lady, allow me to salute you. I will send someone to protect your personal safety, and I will do my best to bring to justice those who threaten you. ”

"Thanks, thanks. Fanny was a little shocked at the speed with which Accardo's revenge on the Nazis had just gotten the news that Accardo's side was ready to fight back.

Accardo, you're the best!" Fanny thought sweetly.
