Age of Conquest Reborn

Night had fallen on the land of Liaodong. The sea breeze blowing from Liaodong Bay took away the August heat. The shadows of the trees outside the window were dancing. Tang Qiuli stopped writing. He was quite satisfied with part of the message he had written earlier.

, has a clear attitude, but this is not enough. Hitler should plant a thorn in the heart of the Japanese, so that the Japanese will not always think of making trouble with the Germans!

"Your Excellency, Head of State, you are familiar with the history of various countries in the world. You must know that the Far East, south of the Transkhingan Mountains, Heilongjiang, east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin Island, is China's territory. It was the territory of Manchuria during the Tsarist Russia.

What was plundered by force from the Qing government is now occupied by the Japanese. As a Chinese soldier, it is Qiu Li’s duty to send his troops to regain the territory!"

"There are no secrets to hide from Your Excellency the Head of State. Right now, my deputy, General Liu Tiehan, is commanding more than one million elite troops to carry out a devastating blow to Japan's more than 500,000 soldiers in the Far East. The Far East,

I am determined to win over one million square kilometers of land, and I am determined to restore it!"

"Qiu Li now has the ability and strength to regain all the territory that China has lost since ancient times. Moreover, Qiu Li has millions of elite troops under his command and relies on hundreds of millions of people in the country. He is not afraid to fight with any force or country!"

These words are an implicit warning, warning Hitler that if he really gets involved in the war between himself and the Japanese, covets more than 500,000 square kilometers of land in the Far East, and uses force to intervene, he will risk his own life.

The risk of going to war with an independent division!

Smile, Tang Qiuli is very satisfied with this paragraph he wrote. Don’t look at Hitler’s army, which is in full swing, sweeping across the European continent, defeating the US and British forces, and now defeating the Soviet Union to the point of almost subjugation.

But I, Tang Qiuli, am not afraid. If you are brave, just give it a try!

"...Your Majesty the Head of State, I really doubt the intention of the Japanese to use one-half of the land in the Far East that is bound to be unprotected as a bargaining chip to ask the Head of State to mediate the war between Qiu Li and the Japanese. What is their intention?

Where? Is there any attempt to drag Germany into the conflict with China?

The sinister intention of war in China? If the Japanese are really sincere, why don't they use the Ryukyu Islands as a bargaining chip? Oh, by the way, the Ryukyu Islands have also been China's territory since ancient times, and they are also among those who must be recovered in Qiu Li, right?

Japanese chips!”

"With the political wisdom of His Excellency the Head of State, there will definitely be no dilemma. Of course, Qiu Li has no intention of influencing His Excellency the Head of State's thinking as to how to make a decision. You can decide everything by yourself. That's it. Maybe Qiu Li's words are too strong.

, but it’s something I won’t change!”

"Finally, as an old friend of the head of state, I sincerely invite you to come to the Northeast this winter. In the Northeast in winter, the snow scenery is extremely beautiful. White mountains and black waters, the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains, vast forests, and snow-covered forests, in Germany and even

There is no such scenery in Ukraine! Goodbye! Looking forward to our next meeting!”

At this point, a reply with a lot of words was completed. It could be said that it was not polite to return the message. Tang Qiuli blew the ink on the manuscript paper with satisfaction. He thought about Hitler's dumbfounded look when he saw this telegram.

The little mustache under his nose twitched, and he couldn't help but chuckle. Now, he was not afraid of offending the Germans. What's more, this telegram couldn't be said to offend him or not. It was entirely Hitler's own fault!

Who made him covet the Japanese and write out a bad check? If it were him, he would not pay attention to the Japanese at all and let the special guards call in Ge Zhenzhuang and Chen Feng from the Shizhi Communications Department. Tang Qiuli carefully

The order came: "Send this telegram immediately, using the highest level of password!"

After the telegram to Tang Qiuli was sent, Hitler also felt uneasy. He knew his old Chinese friend too well. He was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. His character was the most staunch, and he was uncompromising from the bottom of his heart when it came to territory.

, I have always been uncompromising on the issue of national and national sovereignty. Although my telegram was a Chinese-style Tai Chi, I am afraid that my old friend responded with a direct punch coming towards my face, with the strong wind howling, right?

Regarding the telegram sent to Tang Qiuli, from the bottom of his heart, Hitler did not believe that his old Chinese friend with a strong personality could be allowed to accept German mediation. If it were him, he would not agree.

For example, if Tang Qiuli stepped forward to mediate the war between Germany and the Soviet Union, Hitler would definitely be furious!

But the telegram was still sent. As Tang Qiuli judged, "Profit!" The Far East, which is rich in mineral resources and vast in area, and one-half of its territory, is a hugely tempting benefit. Hitler's original intention was also to pursue it.

If it works, it can gain benefits. If it doesn't work, Germany will not lose anything at all. On the contrary, it will sell Tang Qiuli a favor, which is also justified by the Japanese!

Hitler, who was the most powerful man in the world, would naturally not ignore the benefits that could be obtained with just a little effort, but he was very good at sense of proportion and scale. Therefore, there was no threatening word in the telegram. Moreover, Tang Qiuli also

There was nothing like this at all. There were just pleasantries and cordiality between old friends. At the end of the telegram, I mentioned a few words seemingly casually and in a very embarrassing way!

This telegram to Tang Qiuli used Chinese Tai Chi Kung Fu to kick the ball to Tang Qiuli's feet. Hitler regarded it as his most proud diplomatic work. In his uneasy heart, he was somewhat looking forward to it. Look at his own

How does this old Chinese friend accept the invitation?

Hitler did not wait too long. When the lights were on in the streets and alleys of Kiev, after enjoying a purely Ukrainian-style dinner, as usual, several accompanying imperial party, government and military officials gathered in the living room.

They seemed to be chatting, but in fact, there was some expectation in their hearts. Foreign Minister Ribbentrop hurried over.

"My Führer, in the confidential room of the Führer's Mansion, I have forwarded a reply from your old Chinese friend, General Tang Qiuli!" Ribbentrop took out a thick stack of telegrams from his briefcase and handed it to Hitler with both hands.

.

Marshal von Strongs, Chief of the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht, Dr. Goebbels, Minister of the Central Propaganda Department of the Nazi Party, Himmler, one of the national leaders of the SS, the head of the Gestapo, and a deputy national deputy general of the SS.

Commanding General Paul Schulenburg, several senior members of the German party, government, and military all looked at the Head of State, hoping to judge from the face of the Head of State the reply of the Chinese Vice Chairman Tang.

, roughly what does it mean?

Hitler looked at the telegram with a very rich expression. The mustache under his nose was trembling constantly. His face seemed to be smiling, neither angry nor happy. Several officials were confused. Based on their understanding of the Führer

, if Tang Qiuli's call back made the head of state very angry, the head of state at this moment should be furious and scream. If the head of state is happy, he must be laughing proudly!

But what was his expression now? However, without letting the senior officials guess for too long, Hitler put down the telegram and said with a wry smile: "My old friend from China has sent back the telegram, as uncompromising as ever. This has not changed at all.

Strongs, your judgment is correct, he is also determined to win the Far East! The Japanese gave us a blank check, these hateful fishermen!"

The several officials present all understood that the Head of State had encountered a hard problem in front of Vice Chairman Tang of China. It stands to reason that in terms of the temper of the Head of State, he must be very angry. Since the German army has wiped out

After the European continent, no leader of that country has dared to disobey the will of the head of state, except of course the Americans and British, who are enemies, but why is the head of state not angry? Not furious?

Several senior officials were not fools, and they all showed understanding. Ribbentrop asked: "My head of state, since mediation failed, how should we reply to the Japanese?"

Hitler smiled coldly and said: "It's very simple. If mediation fails, how to word it is the responsibility of your Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As for what to do next, that is the Japanese people's own business and has nothing to do with us in Germany!"

Hitler did not let Tang Qiuli's reply call be circulated to several senior officials. Instead, he sealed it with his own hands and handed it to his confidential secretary. He specifically warned: "Seal it immediately as a top-secret document. It cannot be declassified without my permission."

!”

This telegram gave several high-ranking members of the German party, government and military unlimited room for imagination, and could make the head of state depressed and helpless. Probably the only one in the world who could do anything was the young Chinese Vice Chairman Tang!

Ribbentrop conveyed to the Japanese as quickly as possible the situation of the failure of the Manchurian War by Hitler, the head of the empire, who mediated between Tang Qiuli and the Japanese, through diplomatic channels. He was anxiously waiting for Germany with his heart pounding.

Japanese Foreign Minister Ito Masafumi, who had not received the news, was like a thunderbolt after receiving the telegram. He almost fainted and did not dare to delay at all. He immediately went to the palace overnight to ask for an audience with Emperor Hirohito.

After reading the reply from the Germans, Emperor Hirohito's face suddenly turned pale. The blow of Hitler's failure in mediation was even greater for Hirohito. The only hope of saving the crisis in Manchuria and saving more than one million Kwantung Army soldiers was completely shattered.

.

Judging from the content of the telegram, Emperor Hirohito intuitively realized that the Germans had not done their best in this matter. He did not understand whether Hitler had any interest in the more than 500,000 square kilometers of fertile land in the Far East.

No interest at all?

Hirohito knew that as far as Hitler's character was concerned, he would never give up anything that was beneficial to Germany if possible. The key to the problem was that in Hitler's mind, Tang Qiuli was obviously untouchable, let alone Tang Qiuli.

He's a character you don't want to mess with. More than half a million square kilometers of land is certainly tempting, but do you have to be able to get it?

"Selfish Germans!" Emperor Hirohito cursed fiercely and ordered his attendants to arrive: "Immediately summon all members of the base camp and hold an imperial meeting overnight!"
