Age of Conquest Reborn

Manchuria is about to be lost. The lives of more than one million Kwantung Army soldiers are in Tang Qiuli's hands. The Japanese have turned to the head of the empire, Hitler, through diplomatic channels. This is a big deal. In the eyes of Japanese Emperor Hirohito and

In the minds of the ministers of civil and military affairs, there is a huge matter, something as urgent as a spark, something as fatal as the sky will fall!

The Japanese were so anxious that it was a big matter, but in the eyes of the German head of state Hitler who went to Kiev, Ukraine, to inspect the newly opened territory, it was a trivial matter, just a test question used to test his political wisdom.

.

Dr. Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda Department of the Nazi Party, answered first. Although everything was smooth and watertight, it was obvious that the Führer was not satisfied. The answer of the mouthpiece of the Nazi Party gave people the impression of a brave warrior. General Staff Officer of the German Wehrmacht

Marshal Longström's answer was so refreshing that even Hitler secretly nodded in praise, "This man only knows

But Hitler did not make any comment on Marshal Strance's words. Next, whose turn should come to the stage? Hitler's eyes turned to Himmler, one of the top leaders of the German SS and the chief leader of the Gestapo.

.

Himmler, with his character, has never been very involved in such occasions, because his loyalty to the head of state no longer needs to be expressed in words. What's more, this involves matters at the German diplomatic level. As the head of the secret service, he

It would be better not to participate because he has enough power to avoid making others jealous, but since the Führer wants to speak for himself, Himmler will not delay.

Pushing up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Himmler said in a calm tone: "My head of state, I personally believe that the only starting point when considering the problem is Germany's national interests. Assuming that we agree to the Japanese's request, will we be able to do so?"

Marshal Strongs is worried that it will cause conflicts with your old friend, General Tang of China. In other words, does Germany now have enough influence to influence General Tang?"

These words are similar to those of Goebbels. They are exposed to the public and cannot find any faults, but they have no substantive suggestions. However, the subtext in them is probably only understood by Hitler. The most critical sentence is, "

Does Germany have enough influence now to influence Tang Qiuli?" This is the key. In other words, whether Hitler himself can be 100% sure that Tang Qiuli will stop in Manchuria!

Himmler was also vaguely reminding himself that in case Tang Qiuli didn't buy it, you, the head of state, must consider this. Hitler's absolute favor for Himmler, and everyone present would not view it from this perspective.

, to remind myself.

After several meetings and secret conversations, Hitler knew Tang Qiuli very well. His old Chinese friend was not a person who could be influenced by others or external forces, including himself. He had a strong national self-esteem.

A very tough guy would never trade national interests, let alone succumb to external pressure. Even Hitler believed that if Germany and Tang Qiuli were on opposite sides, even if the gap between the two countries was very large,

So big. This guy will not hesitate to fight!

In other words, even if he agreed to the Japanese and helped Tang Qiuli, there would probably be no results. Manchuria was originally the land of the Chinese, and it was understandable to take it back through war, just like Strong

As Si said, Tang Qiuli's purpose and determination cannot be changed. No one can change it, including himself!

The few people present only saw the Führer deep in thought, but did not know what he was thinking. Hitler also did not comment on Himmler's words, but directly asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ribbentrop, "Your Ministry of Foreign Affairs

, any suggestions on this?”

Ribbentrop himself felt that he had become a marginalized member of Germany's core power structure, but there was nothing he could do about it. His Excellency the Head of State had always believed that any problem that could be solved by force should not be solved through diplomacy. Now, the German army

, it has finished all the work that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to do. No country in the European continent exists. Who can engage in diplomacy? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has become a decoration, and its status is weakening day by day. This is an unstoppable thing!

Therefore, Ribbentrop did not regard it as a rare opportunity for the head of state to ask his opinion, and he could not express his feelings like several other high-ranking officials in the party, government and military, "My head of state, from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

From a personal perspective, regardless of whether the head of state agrees to the Japanese's request, he should have an attitude. From my personal perspective, Germany's intervention in the dispute between your old Chinese friend and the Japanese will have many unexpected unfavorable variables.

!”

"However, from the perspective of diplomatic reciprocity and international practice, since the Japanese have requested help from you, my head of state, the letter should be written personally by Emperor Hirohito of Japan. Only in this way can it show enough respect, and not just by Japan.

Outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Xiang Yitong, please send me a personal telegram. Of course, in the end, it is up to you, the head of state, to decide!" Ribbentrop's words imply dissatisfaction with the Japanese, but they cannot find fault with them. This is from the perspective of diplomacy.

It is his responsibility to analyze at a higher level!

The four party, government, military and foreign ministers present did not seem to agree with Himmler and Goebbels' opinion that Germany would come forward to help the Japanese. With the Japanese, apart from that piece of paper,

Outside of the agreement, there seemed to be no intersection. Germany sent troops to attack the Soviet Union, and the Japanese did not help!

There was no intuitive impression of those high-ranking Japanese officials, but Tang Qiuli was different. From a personal impression, he secretly visited Germany twice, and no one present had listened to his speeches or felt his grace.

, and even more aware that this young Chinese Vice Chairman is definitely not someone to be trifled with!

From a military point of view, it was Vice Chairman Tang's troops that held back millions of elite Soviet troops in the Far East. Only then did the German army take advantage of the situation and catch Stalin by surprise. At the beginning of the war,

Winning an advantage. From this point of view, Germany's success in fighting in the Soviet Union was due to the results of the independent division troops fighting the Soviet army in the Far East. Instinctively, the relationship between Germany and Tang Qiuli changed.

Stiffness is definitely not a blessing for Germany!

Hitler leaned back on the sofa very relaxedly. He did not make any comments on the words of the four party, government and military officials. The exam was over. This move that seemed to be destined for the Japanese was of no use at all. The looks of several people

, all looked at the head of state.

Hitler suddenly smiled mysteriously and said: "Ribbentrop, in order to get me to come forward, the Japanese should give up enough chips, right?"

Ribbentrop also smiled and replied: "Yes, my head of state, the Japanese have promised that if you come forward to facilitate negotiations with Tang Qiuli, reach a ceasefire agreement in Manchuria, and ensure that more than one million Kwantung Army soldiers

, to safely evacuate Manchuria, the Japanese are willing to cede half of the land in the Far East to Germany as a reward!"

Hitler suddenly laughed wildly, inexplicably, and then he restrained his laughter and said disdainfully: "Look, this is the true face of the Japanese. The implication is that if I fail to mediate, half of the Far East will be lost to Germany."

arrive!"

"In other words, even if my old Chinese friend Tang Qiuli accepts my mediation, half of the land in the Far East, separated by the vast area of ​​Siberia, is an enclave. The Japanese intentions are obvious

, using the interests of the Far East to tie Germany to the Japanese chariot, because the Japanese cannot guarantee whether my old Chinese friend Tang Qiuli will be interested in the Far East after losing Manchuria!"

At this time, Marshal Strongs, Chief of the General Staff, interjected, "My head of state, according to intelligence, in the Far East, your old Chinese friend General Tang has assembled more than 1.1 million troops, and Japan

The number of troops in the Far East is only over 500,000. Whether in terms of strength comparison or weapons and equipment, the Japanese are at a disadvantage. On the battlefield, the situation of the Japanese is not optimistic either. They are surrounded by independent division troops.

Possibility in the Far East!”

Marshal Strance's words were tantamount to giving the Japanese hope and put an end to it. Hitler stood up and said: "Okay, don't let the Japanese's whims affect our trip to the Crimea tomorrow.

However, half of the land in the Far East and the rich natural resources contained under the land are also exciting. Ribbentrop, come to the study with me, everyone else, go and rest!"

There were still three days left before launching a general attack on the Kwantung Army troops in the encirclement of Western Manchuria and Western Liaoning. Thanks to the very complete logistics system of the Independent Division, it took less than four days.

Thanks to the hard work of Major General Zhou Yushan, the minister and director of the Peiping Rear Joint Service Department, all ammunition and material supplies for various combat units on the northeastern front have been in place.

The deployment and adjustment of the forces of the various corps participating in the war were completed as planned. All that was left was to wait for the attack to be launched. The atmosphere of the war began to hang over the Northeast.

In the past few days, Tang Qiuli was in a particularly good mood because he had made Emperor Hirohito of Japan uncomfortable. He killed the Kwantung Army in the Northeastern battlefield, captured more than one million Japanese troops in the Korean Peninsula battlefield and the Far East battlefield, and dealt with the Japanese Emperor again.

It has given enough excitement and nausea to make Japanese people furious from top to bottom. Is there anything happier than this?

No more, knowing that the Japanese had probably given up, so Tang Qiuli felt that he had not had enough fun. However, he immediately became unhappy. Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, walked into the office quickly.

"Commander, the radio station that communicates with the German Head of State has received a personal telegram from the German Head of State, Hitler!"

"Huh?" Tang Qiuli immediately raised his eyebrows. He knew why Hitler sent him a telegram at this time. "Okay, the Germans are not done yet!" He snatched it away angrily.

telegraph.
