The Rise of the Third Reich

The graceful and melodious Arabic music started playing. Two scantily clad Arab beauties with graceful figures, their faces covered with a thin veil, only revealing a pair of big, watery eyes, were twisting desperately to the sound of the music. She slimmed her waist, and from time to time she glanced at the distinguished guests who visited the Alexander Palace today, the new Caesar of the Roman Empire and the invincible God of War of the German Empire.

However, Marshal Hersman did not even look at the two beautiful Arab girls at this time. On the contrary, his wife Chloe watched with gusto, and from time to time she lightly clapped her hands to the rhythm of the music, as if she was very fascinated and did not care. Do you know you want to learn belly dancing to slim down your waist?

And at this beautiful moment, Hersman was actually talking in French to a man in his thirties, who was very handsome and looked like a young man. He also laughed a few times, which seemed very speculative. The man who attracted Hessman's attention was named Michel Aflaq. He was also a guest of King Farouk I of Egypt, who loved beautiful women and liked to steal things. He came from Damascus, Syria.

Hersman thought he was a very interesting man.

"Haha, Mr. Aflaq, are you really a Christian?"

"Yes, I am a Christian and I believe in Orthodoxy."

"But you are an Arab. Will Arabs believe in Christianity?" Hersman found it very funny. He actually saw an Arab who believed in God in a YSL palace where someone was performing a dance.

"Why can't Arabs believe in Christianity?" Michel Aflaq frowned, "Marshal, what do you think Arabs should look like?"

"Should..." Hersman shrugged and said with a smile, "I always thought that Arabs should believe in Allah and be ready to sacrifice themselves for Allah at any time."

"Marshal," the Christian Arab frowned even more tightly, "do you think we Arabs are the same as your German SS soldiers?"

Hessman tilted his head, took another sip of Egyptian beer, and said, "It doesn't seem to be the case now. Maybe there will be many Arabs who will devote themselves to religion in the future."

"No, it won't happen," said the Arab Christian. "The Arabs of the future will definitely be like me."

"Believe in Christ?" Hessman was stunned.

“No, I believe in Arab nationalism and Arab socialism!” This Christian Arab was actually a socialist at the same time. He told Hersman, “Our Arab nation will rely on Arab nationalism and Arab socialism, not YSL teaches that the socialist revolution will change the spirit and values ​​of every Arab! The revolution will bring Arab renaissance!”

Arab renaissance? The word sounded familiar to Hirschman.

"Arab Baath Party?" Hesman suddenly remembered something, and then looked at the very interesting Arab Christian in front of him and asked: "Are you the leader of the Arab Baath Party?"

“There is no…society, there is the Arab Ennahda.”

Probably the predecessor of the Arab Socialist Baath Party? Hessman thought to himself: He actually met Saddam's ancestor in Egypt... Saddam's ancestor was actually a Christian!

However, this Christian Arab is really a figure. Although the Arab Renaissance Movement he leads has only just started, its influence is already very great. Because in this era there are many Arab military and political leaders who are interested in reviving the Arab nation, but none of these big figures can express their individual doctrines. This Michel Aflaq studied philosophy at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France, and also participated in the Bolshevik Party. He was once one of the leaders of the Syrian-Lebanese Bolshevik Party. Of course he could tell a lot of truths, so he became one of the great Arabs.

In the recent anti-British movement in Iraq, he clearly supported Rashid Ali Kelani, who is now the Prime Minister of Iraq. So he was brought to Alexander by the Iraqi Prime Minister and introduced to Marshal Hersman.

…

After the banquet at the palace, Hersman asked his wife Chloe to go back to his residence first, and he borrowed a conference room in the palace to hold a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Kehlani and Arab Renaissance leader Michel Aflaq. A short but very important meeting.

"Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Aflaq," Hersman said straight to the point at the beginning of the meeting in English that both Prime Minister Kehlani and Michel Aflaq could understand, "the current situation in Europe and around the Mediterranean That's right, Germany has replaced Britain as the new dominant force. Our policies are different from those of Britain. We do not want to turn the Middle East into a colony or semi-colony. is allowed.

But one thing needs to be emphasized: you Arab nation had a glorious past, but at that time you were the invaders! You and the YSL religion invaded North Africa and Europe, occupied the land that originally belonged to us, and enslaved our people. If your renaissance movement wants to restore the glorious past of the Arab Empire. Then you are the enemy of the European Community and the Roman Empire! I will destroy you all! "

These words were so serious that the two Arab leaders were greatly surprised and looked at Hessmann blankly.

Hersmann continued: "We in Germany are not opposed to nationalism, but nationalism cannot be expanded indefinitely and pan-nationalism cannot be practiced. Otherwise, there will no longer be peace and tranquility in the world. You Arabs can be pan-Arab and pan-YSL." , the Turks can be Pan-Turkey, the Russians can be Pan-Slavic, we Germans can also be Pan-Aryan, and the Iranians can be Pan-Persian, so the Arab, Turkish, Persian, Slavic and Aryan races will have no end. The vendetta continues. I guess this is not what you want to see? "

"No, of course not." Michelle Affleck shook his head quickly.

"We in Iraq do not support Pan-Arab and Pan-YSL..." the Iraqi Prime Minister also quickly expressed his position.

What the Arab nation is encountering now is not the Virgin Mary of the White Left in Europe, but Nazis and fascists!

"Okay!" Hessman nodded and said, "Then I will now announce the scope of the Arab nation. The Arab nation is the majority nation on the Arabian Peninsula and owns most of the land on the Arabian Peninsula. But it does not include the Jordan River, Palestine west of the Dead Sea, excluding Lebanon and the Sinai Peninsula.”

"What? This is so ridiculous..." Michel Aflaq immediately raised objections, "You are completely ignorant of Arab history and past when you divide it like this!"

Hessman glared at him coldly and said: "I know your nation's past very well. You had a glorious era, but this era has passed. Just like the Turkish and Persian nations, they are not pursuing restoration of their heyday. If you are willing to follow the Kemalist route and establish a unified Arab state limited to most of the Arabian Peninsula, we in Germany can tolerate it. To establish an Arab empire that includes North Africa and even parts of Europe, there is only war!”

"But...but Egypt is the land of the Arabs!" Michelle Aflaq said again.

"The Egyptian nation is a very ancient nation, older than all other known nations, and they are not the same nation as you." Hersman sneered, "Are the pyramids and the Sphinx like you? Built by Arabs?"

"But the ancient Egyptians no longer exist..."

"Doesn't exist?" Hessman snorted, "The streets of Alexandria are so lively, are they all ghosts?"

"They are Arabs."

"They are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians!" Hessman emphasized. "If the Arab nation wants to be resurrected, why should the Egyptian nation not be resurrected?"

"But they speak Arabic and identify with the Arab nation."

"So what about the Copts?" Hesman said, "They are the real masters of Egypt. Most Egyptians are now their compatriots, but they have forgotten their true identity for various reasons. Now, the Arab nation wants to revive , the Egyptian nation will also be revived, and the Jewish nation will also return to their ancestral homeland, and you Arabs can establish one or several completely secular independent countries like Turkey on most of the lands in the Arabian Peninsula. This is the current position of our German Empire!”

In fact, Hersman has left a lot of living space for the Arab nation. The Arabian Peninsula has 3.22 million square kilometers. Except for a very small part, all belongs to the Arab nation, and they can also be tolerated to unify in the future - if the Arab society If the Baath Party can really do that in the future, they will create a large country with vast land, rich resources, and a large population, which is enough to occupy a place among the world's powerful countries.

In fact, unifying these more than 3 million square kilometers is already a very difficult task. Hersmann only said that Germany could "tolerate" it, which did not mean that it would support it. Moreover, just because Hessmann can be "tolerated" now does not mean that future German leaders will be able to tolerate it. After all, Germany has not yet won the world war and has no time to trouble the Arabs.

If the founders of the Arab Baath Party were smart enough, they should seize this opportunity immediately and unify the relatively easy-to-get territories of Iraq, Syria, Kuwait and Jordan before the Germans change their minds. This way the basis for Arab unity will be Yes.

Of course, such a major decision cannot be made in one meeting and negotiation. Today's meeting is just the beginning of a series of political changes in the Arabian Peninsula in the future.
