Age of Conquest Reborn

Marshal von Strongs, Chief of the German General Staff, is one of the few people in the top German hierarchy who knows the true intentions of Tang Qiuli, an old Chinese friend invited by the Führer this time, to meet in Kiev.

One of the core characters.

To put it bluntly, the head of state invited Tang Qiuli to come to Kiev with the intention of a showdown. Leaving Stalin to linger was absolutely unacceptable to the head of state. Therefore, if Stalin and his remnants crossed the Ural Mountains and fled to Asia,

Xixi

In the Siberian area, the German army will inevitably pursue them and annihilate them all quickly. Then, the last agreement between His Excellency the Head of State and Tang Qiuli in Berlin will be broken. After the German army occupied the Soviet Union,

The Ural Mountains do not enter Asia.

The result of this was that the German Army entered Tang Qiuli's sphere of influence. No one could predict what would happen after that. Marshal von Strongs also knew that the Head of State had asked his old Chinese friend to choose

The intention of the camp.

The Chinese's large-scale naval arms procurement also made the head of state suspicious, but he was more curious than wary. Navy Commander Dönitz came out for an interview. It was just the order of the head of state. Obviously, Dönitz, a straightforward guy, put

Things are messed up.

While holding the wine glass and walking in the direction of Tang Qiuli and Dönitz, Marshal von Strongs organized his words and asked how he could make the scene go smoothly. Through many contacts with Tang Qiuli, he knew that this Chinese

, definitely not easy to mess with!

Tang Qiuli saw Strongs approaching and knew that his intention was to rescue Dönitz. Germany is a traditional land power. After sweeping across Europe, it has nearly ten million army troops capable of fighting. For the ocean

Strategy, however, was not given much importance. Among the three German armies, the commanders of the army and air force all had the rank of marshal, but only the commander of the navy, Dönitz, still had the rank of general. This is evident from this.

This is also one of the reasons why Tang Qiuli asked Zhou Yushan and Battelle to lead a team to purchase naval equipment in Germany. If we go to the United States, which attaches great importance to sea power, to purchase naval equipment, I am afraid that no amount of money will be spent to get it done, and the Americans will be like this

The enemy would be wary of himself. He would not sell warships and aircraft carriers that could threaten American interests in the future to him obediently. Dönitz came forward to ask questions. It could not be that Hitler did not know his thoughts. It was just a test.

Marshal von Strongs approached the two people. He smiled before saying anything, raised his glass, and was about to speak, but Tang Qiuli stopped and interrupted, saying calmly: "Marshal, you happened to be here too, just now

, General Dönitz asked me, what is the purpose of purchasing so much naval equipment from Germany? That’s fine. I will explain it briefly, so as not to make the head of state suspicious and affect the good relations between China and Germany.

relationship!"

Dönitz's face relaxed. He just had no chance to go down the steps and explain to the head of state. Now, Tang Qiuli took the initiative to explain that no matter what he said, he had completed the task assigned by the head of state, and it was easy to hand over the job!

Marshal von Strongs' face tightened and his heart was shocked. He was very surprised. Tang Qiuli was surprised that he immediately revealed the head of state's inner thoughts without reservation. He was full of words.

, don’t know where to start?

Seeing von Strong's expression of dry stool, Tang Qiuli sneered inwardly and continued: "The purpose of purchasing naval equipment from Germany this time is very simple. Because of our trust, Europe under German rule has built a large number of warships and

The technology of the aircraft carrier and the ability to deliver quickly, and from the perspective of the relationship between the two countries and the personal relationship between me and the head of your country, if I don’t choose Germany, will I choose to purchase in the United States?”

"The territory of the Republic of China, starting from the southern territory, has a coastline of tens of thousands of kilometers. It must have sufficient naval power to maintain and protect its country's maritime rights and interests and territorial security. Qiu Li dare not forget that at the end of the last century

, the fact that European powers knocked on China’s door with just a few gunboats!”

"On China's thousands of miles of maritime territory, there are threats from the Japanese and potential threats from the Americans. Therefore, Qiu Li has to prepare in advance. Such a large purchase amount will have a negative impact on the current economy of Germany and the occupied areas.

, it’s no small matter, right?”

"I would also like to ask Marshal von Strongs and General Dönitz to tell His Excellency the Head of State that the fundamental purpose of Tang Qiuli's preparations for the German Navy's procurement plan is to compete with the Americans and Japanese for supremacy in the Pacific in the future.

!”

"Qiu Li is so outspoken. Your Excellency, the head of state, must be relieved. Of course, if your head of state does not want to accept this order due to various concerns, Qiu Li will not have any estrangement because of this.

Thoughts, we Chinese have a saying, "You have money in your hand, but you still can't spend it?"

Tang Qiuli's words are half true and half false. Competing with the Americans for supremacy in the Pacific is the real purpose. As for the Japanese, that is the goal that he must completely erase. After this goal is achieved, in the Pacific,

The Americans are the only opponent left. To say this is to emphasize that there is no room for reconciliation with the Japanese, lest Hitler let himself choose to take sides and join the German-Japanese-Italian Axis Alliance and become allies with the Japanese. Not only would he be disgusted to death

, how will the subsequent Pacific strategy proceed?

"Hahaha!" Marshal von Strong laughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment and said: "Dear Vice Chairman Tang, you are serious. Your personal relationship with our Head of State is obvious to all. For Germany,

Your help to the ** team in defeating the Russians was also huge. Your selfless help to us Germans is often mentioned by the Head of State. How can he doubt Vice Chairman Tang’s use of purchasing naval equipment?”

"General Dönitz is also out of curiosity. You may not know that General Dönitz has always been known for his professionalism within our German army. He is very sensitive to anything involving the navy.

Interested, my words just now may have been offensive, so please forgive me, Vice Chairman Tang!"

Von Strong's words were tactfully spoken and full of diplomatic rhetoric. They not only defended Hitler but also rescued Dönitz. Tang Qiuli sneered in his heart, "It's trying to hide the obvious!" At the same time, he was a little surprised. He was still very surprised.

Those who know von Strongs, how did a typical Prussian officer change his career to become a diplomat?

Dönitz politely said goodbye, obviously going to report to Hitler. Von Strongs continued to chat with Tang Qiuli. Most of the topics revolved around the German Army's Moscow Battle. From the mouth of the German Chief of General Staff

, Tang Qiuli learned a lot about the details of this battle,

Generally speaking, the content of the intelligence provided by the Yu De Shui Intelligence Office was similar. The Soviets lost miserably this time and lost all their money. What alarmed him were these words of von Strongs, "Our Germans*

The German army is about to occupy Moscow. Although street fighting is still going on in the city of Moscow, this is the stubborn resistance of the Russians and cannot change the outcome of the war. It is only a matter of time before the German army completely captures Moscow!"

"But unfortunately, the senior leaders of the Soviet party, government and army, headed by Stalin, escaped. Your Excellency the Head of State will not allow the Russians to have any breathing space. Therefore, the next action goal of the German army is,

The main purpose is to eliminate the remnants of the Russian army. Even if Stalin escapes to the ends of the earth, they must be completely eliminated. Your Excellency the Head of State's determination cannot be shaken!"

Perhaps von Strongs, in order to show off the German military's achievements, let it slip in his own complacency. Perhaps he was following Hitler's instructions to convey the Germans' intentions from the side, that is, it was possible to break the previous agreement between the two parties and pass.

Ural Mountains, enter Asia, chase and annihilate the remnants of the Soviet army!

"Hitler and his generals cooperated tacitly, and they sang in harmony. They said this in the telegram to themselves. Now, they have sent their own chief of general staff to emphasize again that they have good intentions!" Tang Qiuli said on the side

Listen carefully and think about it.

The welcome banquet was almost in progress, and Hitler's goal was basically achieved. The German head of state was not interested in the banquet. Accompanied by a large group of generals, he walked up to Tang Qiuli and said, "My

Old friend, you know I don't like it

I like such an occasion, but in order to welcome old friends, I would rather give up my personal preferences. Old friends are tired from the journey, so the banquet is over. You have a good rest in Kiev. We have some issues and we will discuss them tomorrow. What do you think?

My old friend?"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Thank you very much for the warm hospitality of the head of state. Qiu Li had a great time in Kiev. In fact, I don't really like such an occasion, so I'll say goodbye!"

After returning to the hotel room, Tang Qiuli did not rest. Instead, he ordered the radio station to immediately contact Zhou Yushan and Battelle in Germany to inquire about the purchase situation. Soon, a telegram jointly signed by the two people came.

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli felt relieved. Although Hitler had doubts about himself and this large-scale naval equipment purchase, everything went smoothly and the German government did not set any plans on it.

What are the obstacles? Negotiations with major shipyards are progressing smoothly, and the price is within the acceptable range.

So far, all procurement projects have signed contracts, and major shipyards have now started construction. At the same time, Zhou Yushan and Battelle will also study at the Berlin Military Academy. The more than a thousand naval cadets who are about to graduate will

On the grounds of familiarizing themselves with warships in advance, more than a thousand student pilots were arranged to go to several major shipyards to participate in the entire construction process of warships and aircraft carriers.

Tang Qiuli was very satisfied with the work of Zhou Yushan and Battelle. He was not worried that Hitler would deliberately set up any obstacles. Otherwise, he would simply refuse. Moreover, at today's welcome banquet, he passed the meeting with von Strongs

The conversation with Dönitz also roughly revealed Hitler's true intentions. Tomorrow's meeting should be the time for a showdown!

That night, the lights in Tang Qiuli's room were turned off very late.
