The scene of the summer party of the Yinglin Club.

Accompanied by the band's music, Han Lin and Tang Ying danced the opening dance as usual, and then the scene began to be lively, and a pair of dancers entered the dance floor.

Seeing Bratton at the German Consulate General in Shanghai, waving to him, Han Lin came to talk with him outside the hall.

"It's been a long time since you've given me any heavyweight information." Bratton said with a laugh.

"That's because Germany itself is responsible for several major events, first last year's merger with Austria, this year's Soviet-German Taiwan incident, whether it is Britain, France or the United States, there is nothing particularly important, how can I have so much information for you?"

"If German intelligence believes that my intelligence value is not enough to match the treatment paid to me, we can terminate intelligence cooperation at any time, and I am completely understandable." Han Lin also said with a smile.

"No, no, no, please don't get me wrong, I don't mean that, we have been working together very happily in the past few years, every time the information you provide is accurate, and the value of the information exceeds the return given to you by our imperial intelligence department, this is what I must admit."

"Under the leadership of the Führer, the Empire has indeed taken some actions to restore the former territory of the Empire and wash away the shame of the First World War, Britain, France and the United States will have their own attitudes towards this, and the Imperial Intelligence Department wants to grasp more information through your intelligence organization." Bratton said hurriedly.

He felt that his words had caused Han Lin's misunderstanding, for the German intelligence department, for the sake of intelligence, the issue of remuneration would not be considered, in fact, the intelligence departments of the vast majority of countries are very lenient in terms of funding, and the information that money and materials can be exchanged is the intelligence with a price, and it is also the intelligence with the least cost, which is the most popular with the intelligence department.

Han Lin and the international intelligence organization behind it are one of the most important sources of intelligence for the German intelligence service, and they are highly valued for their accuracy, timeliness and high value.

"Listen to what you mean, the next target of the empire should be Poland, right?" Han Lin said.

"Why do you say that?" Bratton asked.

It was as if a storm had set off in his heart, the empire was going to wage war against Poland, and he had just learned the news, but he didn't expect that Han Lin actually knew, which was incredible.

"The Danzig Corridor, a territory divided by the Treaty of Versailles, will never be forgotten in accordance with the way your head of state has acted since he took office. In March, Germany offered Poland the condition of building a motorway in the Danzig corridor, but the Polish government refused. Han Lin said.

According to the Treaty of Versailles, the so-called Danzig Corridor was a strip of about 80 kilometers wide between East Prussia and West Prussia, which originally belonged to Germany, along the west bank of the lower stream of the Vistula River, which was called the "Polish Corridor", and Germany still called it the Danzig Corridor.

As Poland's access to the Baltic Sea, and the port of Gdansk near the mouth of the river was designated as the "Free City of Danzig", which was under international condominium, dividing the territory of Germany into two disconnected parts.

Needless to say, the Germans were so angry at the division of the territory that neither the government nor the people recognized the result, and Hitler waged war against Poland under the pretext of recovering the Danzig Corridor, which became the trigger for World War II.

It should be noted that not only Germany was attacking Poland, but also the Soviet Union was also taking military action, which was also a secret condition agreed by the two sides, and it was precisely because of the actions of the Soviet Union that Britain and France hesitated, basically did not fulfill their commitments, and only declared war on Germany.

"I am struck by your intelligence talents, and the Empire is still considering the relevant gains and losses, once we seize the Danzig Corridor by force, it will be seen as a war against Poland, and the British and French have pledged to protect Poland, which will put the Empire under strong military pressure from both Britain and France, what is your comment on this operation?" Bratton asked.

What is it to restore the ownership of the Danzig Corridor and regain the lost territories, your goal is the whole of Poland, and this is to fool me, thinking that I do not know about the secret contacts between Germany and the Soviet Union at this time, and the relevant agreement will be signed in August?

It doesn't matter, the war that has just broken out in Europe will not affect China for the time being, and my suggestion will not affect the decision-making of Hitler and the German military department, let alone change the grass and trees of the war, so there is no need to hide it.

He is just a time-traveler, and he has no role in a war like a world war, which is a global war, and it is unknown whether the information given can be taken seriously.

"If Germany were to wage war against Poland, England and France would inevitably declare war on Germany, there is no doubt about it, but I don't think there is anything concrete about substantive military action. The Reich was thinking about nothing more than fighting on the Eastern Front, and the Western Front did not have enough troops to resist a joint attack from Britain and France, and was even afraid that the other side would bomb the Ruhr industrial area, right? Han Lin asked.

"That's right, the Imperial High Command does have such a concern, once the Ruhr industrial area is bombed, our military operation will fall into an extremely dangerous situation, and the current military strength of the empire is difficult to deal with fighting on two fronts at the same time." Bratton nodded.

To the east, the German army had to deal with more than 40 Polish divisions, equipped with 870 tanks, 4,300 artillery pieces, and more than 1,000 aircraft. To the west were the 110 divisions of the British and French forces, equipped with more than 3,000 tanks, more than 26,000 artillery pieces, and more than 3,000 aircraft.

At this time, the total strength of the German army was 106 divisions, equipped with 3,200 tanks, more than 10,000 artillery pieces, and 2,500 aircraft. In terms of troops, such a situation is very dangerous.

"It's just the two of us chatting, my personal opinion is that there is no need to worry about a two-front war, in fact, after the declaration of war, it is France that is more afraid. The French did not dare to face the war, the war-weariness was quite strong, and from the time the German army stepped into the Rhineland, they had completely lost the war without taking any sanctions. ”

"What's more, there is also a powerful Soviet Union in the east of Poland, and the relationship between the two countries has always been tense, and the game between countries comes from interests, and since they have a common goal, this is a condition that can be exploited." Han Lin said.

This conversation is not an exchange of intelligence, there are so many famous generals and military strategists in Germany, it is his turn to point fingers? He just told the facts in his memory to gain more trust from Bratton, which was also an intelligence channel that had been operating for many years.

The reason for this is that Han Lin needs to maintain cooperation with the German intelligence services, and the Shancheng government broke off diplomatic relations with Germany two years later, and there has always been a German consulate general in Shanghai, and the address has been relocated from Huangpu Road to the Green Mail Building at No. 2 BJ Road.
