The Rise of the Third Reich

Hitler crossed his arms and looked at the magnificent mountain scenery around the Eagle's Nest. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "If we clearly express our opposition, can we prevent Japan from invading the Far East?"

Germany must express its opposition clearly. This is a matter of political correctness! Although Hitler and Herschmann did not actually support the unification of Russia.

"No." Hessman shook his head in all likelihood. "The Japanese must understand our position, but they still raised this issue. In other words, they have determined to invade regardless of our objections."

"Damn it!" Hitler cursed, looking very angry. "The Japanese betrayed our friendship, and it's a good thing that I still treat them as honorary Aryans!"

"The Japanese are not proud to be Aryans," Hersman said sarcastically.

The decision to declare the Japanese to be honorary Aryans was made by Hitler and seemed to Hersmann to be complete nonsense. Japan has its own cultural and ethnic identity. Their emperor is considered a descendant of God, and the Japanese archipelago is considered a divine state. How could such a highly self-respecting nation take "honorary Aryans" as a thing?

"Moreover, the Japanese have not betrayed our friendship." Hessman continued, "But we are changing. We have now become the European Community... Our position has changed, and our thinking has naturally changed."

Hitler was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after a while, he slowly nodded.

"Yes," he said, "we have become the European Community... But this is a necessary change. If we want to continue to move forward, we must change from Germany to the European Community. Otherwise, Russia, France, Britain, and Rome will sooner or later Unite against us. This will bring us back to the predicament of 1914, and I am not sure whether the goddess of victory will still favor Germany."

On the road to European unification, Germany has no retreat. Because Germany's geopolitical situation is so bad, surrounded by powerful countries, there is little space for development. In order to expand, Germany almost offended the surrounding powers.

If we cannot strike while the iron is hot and put Europe on the road to unity and unity in the era when Germany has reached the pinnacle of victory. Then a few decades later, there may be another war that will bring Germany back to its original shape.

"That's right," Hersman said. "Now is the best time to build a united European community. We are going to succeed. There is only one final step left. As long as we defeat the United States and take the dominance of international finance from the hands of the Wall Street conglomerates. If we seize it, we will have enough financial resources to build a united Europe. Moreover, returning the dominance of international finance to Europe will also be of great benefit, and they will voluntarily maintain the European Community. So the key now is, Actually it’s still money!”

The “money” Hessmann refers to is, of course, the Euromark issued by the European Union Bank.

“In the last world war,” Herschman added, “the Americans used despicable deception to snatch financial power away from the Europeans and turned their U.S. dollars into the world’s number one hard currency that could overwhelm the British pound. Currency. The terrible disasters that Europe experienced in the 1920s and 1930s were all because we lost the power to control finance this time. If we cannot take back this power by force, the Americans will once again use currency war to defeat them. us!"

Hitler nodded. Although he rejected the financial industry from the bottom of his heart, he had to admit that without a strong European mark, there would be no united European community.

"I hope Marshal Darlan can understand the importance of the Euromark," Hitler turned around and said to Hersmann. "Next week I am going to Europa Castle to attend the European Community Leaders' Meeting. Will you come with me?"

Of course, the European Community leaders' meeting will also discuss the issue of war and peace. Now the US Ambassador to Switzerland, John Hopkins, has sent a formal peace proposal to the embassies of the European Community countries in Switzerland.

The conditions seem quite attractive: for example, the United States agrees to withdraw its troops from Australia, New Zealand, Venezuela, and Colombia; Japan withdraws its troops from the Hawaiian Islands (including Midway) and the Aleutian Islands; the European Community and Rome withdraw their troops from Brazil and Guyana in South America; Countries outside the Americas do not interfere in the South American war; the United States cancels all government debts owed by the European Community, Rome, and Japan; the United States and the European Community, Rome, and Japan return frozen assets to each other; the United States and the European Community, Rome, and Japan Signing trade deals and more.

Now the Roman Empire and Japan are obviously very tempted to accept the peace conditions of the United States, and Britain, France and Russia, which owe a lot of debt to the Americans, may not be tempted by the olive branch extended by the United States.

Moreover, Britain, France, and Russia have no deep hatred for the United States. They can borrow money from the United States and accept American investment after the peace agreement is signed... Although these loans and investments will not make the United States the master of Europe, they can still shake Germany's position in Europe. leadership position.

What's more, there is still a Roman Empire in Europe today that seems to be on an equal footing with Germany!

"The meeting is scheduled for next week?" Hessman thought for a while, "Why not postpone the meeting until after June 1st."

"June 1st?" Hitler suddenly remembered that June 1st this year seemed to be an important day (Children's Day is such a good day), "Are you sure that the Heisenberg device will be tested on June 1st?"

"Yes," Hersman said, "near the Ouargra oasis in the great eastern desert of the French province of Algeria."

The "Heisenberg Device" is the code name for Germany's first atomic bomb. It was assembled as early as early May and underwent various tests. It is now ready.

The place where the atomic bomb was tested was not in Europe, but in Algeria, Africa - which is now the mainland province of the French Republic and can theoretically be considered part of the European Community.

In the Algerian desert (part of the Sahara Desert), close to the **, there is a small oasis called Ouargla. It was selected by Germany's U Engineering Committee in 1942 and became a base for testing atomic bombs.

Hersman planned to bring several important friendly people to observe and learn on June 1, when the atomic bomb was tested.

Among the invited friendly people were the Japanese ambassador to Germany, Lieutenant General Hiroshi Oshima, and the naval attache, Rear Admiral Tadao Yokoi.

Due to the need for confidentiality, invitations were sent out one after another on May 29th and 30th. Several adjutants sent by Hersmann brought his handwritten letters to visit the senior military generals of the invited European Community countries, as well as the embassies of the Roman Empire and the Japanese Empire in Berlin.

When the invitation to Lieutenant General Hiro Oshima and Major General Tadao Yokoi to visit the Heinsberg Manor in Zosen was sent to the Japanese Embassy, ​​Hiro Oshima himself was not in Berlin, but at the Japanese Embassy in Switzerland. .

Together with Yosuke Matsuoka, he had just met with Hopkins, the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland, on May 28, and discussed the possibility of armistice first and then negotiation. Of course, Hopkins did not agree. After all, the Pacific The advantage on the battlefield is firmly in the hands of the United States!

"Going to Zosen's manor?" Matsuoka Yosuke also knew about Oshima Hiroshi's invitation - when the Berlin embassy called, he and Oshima Hiroshi were drinking wine and eating sashimi.

"Is it because Germany is going to give a reply?" Matsuoka guessed Hessman's purpose.

"Most likely," Hiro Oshima, who was wearing a kimono, put down the plate of sake in his hand and frowned slightly, "but I'm afraid there won't be any good news!"

"Right now, Germany needs the Empire more than the Empire needs Germany, right?" Yosuke Matsuoka disagreed with Oshima Hiroshi. "If the Empire makes peace with the United States and then marches into the Far East of the Soviet Union, what can Germany do to us? Can it still support the Soviet Union? Start a war with us?"

"Of course this is impossible," Oshima Hiro shook his head. "The war between Germany and the United States is not over yet."

Matsuoka picked up a piece of sashimi with his chopsticks and said, "Maybe the Germans will agree to make peace with the United States? In that case... there won't be any problems if we march into the Far East, right?"

"It is certain that the relationship has changed," Oshima Hiroshi took a sip of wine. "Germany's current foreign policy is constrained by the European Community. Among the four major pillars of the European Community, Germany, Britain, France and Russia, the United Kingdom is because of Malaya and Singapore is at odds with our empire, France has bad relations with us because of the French Indochina issue, and Russia will have tense relations with us because of the Far East issue..."

Oshima Hiroshi continued: "Actually, the relationship between Japan and France is not bad, because the French have already signed the peace treaty agreeing to cede French Indochina.

However, the British government was unwilling to sign the document ceding Malaya and Singapore. According to Queen Elizabeth, the British Empire was centered on Singapore, and the core could not be transferred to other countries (this was actually the case during Churchill's lifetime). the opinion of).

As for the Russian Far East, such a large territory is nominally the mainland. It would be very unsightly to be occupied by Japan. Of course Queen Olga would not sign the agreement to cede territory even if she died. If she did, wouldn't she be Russia's eternal sinner? Maybe he will be punished by Russian patriots. In order to show her political correctness, the woman born in the year of the Fox may even confront the Russian Empire in Siberia after its strength recovers a little. "

At this point, Oshima Hiroshi suddenly laughed: "However, the relationship between the three major powers of Britain, France and Russia and Germany is equally complicated. They are only surrendering under the force of Germany and have not integrated with Germany at all. Even if the European Community will be in the future Without disintegration, Germany will have to spend decades to integrate. Before the integration is completed, they will not have the power to launch a large-scale war, so during this period, we do not have to worry about Germany at all.”
