Age of Rebirth

It is very possible that Hitler never regarded the Japanese as a real ally, or in other words, not a heavyweight ally. It was only to deal with the feud and the enemy, the Soviets, that the two sides would come together and bond with interests. Such an ally, itself is not strong.

However, the performance of the Japanese has repeatedly disappointed Hitler to the extreme. With more than 100 million troops, they have been entangled with the Russians in the Far East for more than two years without any achievements. After attacking the Chinese mainland, they were beaten again by Tang Qiuli After going out, they lost the Indochina Peninsula and other places successively. Later, they opened up the Southwest Pacific battlefield beyond their means, and fought hard with the Americans and British.

All of this made Hitler extremely dissatisfied, and Tang Qiuli, who turned out to be born out of nowhere, walked into Hitler's sight and quickly attracted his attention. Next, the performance of this young Chinese general made Hitler amazed , Hitler believed that none of the best generals and marshals under his command could compare on him.

However, Tang Qiuli commanded the troops and fought several head-to-head battles with the Russians in Outer Mongolia, and won them all, which made Hitler's eyes shine. He thought that he had better allies in the East, Stalin and Tang Qiuli Enmity was the result that Hitler only wanted to see. Tang Qiuli's military talents, his in-depth analysis of the world situation, his foresight, and his personal charm convinced Hitler, who regarded himself as the number one in the world.

Even the "Barbarossa Plan," which began to be implemented in a few hours, also listened to Tang Qiuli's opinions and carried out extensive revisions and improvements. It can be said that Tang Qiuli catalyzed the plan to attack the Soviet Union. key figures.Also, with regard to the programmatic opinions on the British Isles War, in the latter part of the war, Hitler felt more and more how helpful the old Chinese friend's suggestion was to Germany.

After the two wars in Outer Mongolia, the enmity between Stalin and Tang Qiuli could not be resolved, and it could not be resolved in one or two negotiations.That greedy Stalin inherited how much Chinese territory from the Russian Tsar, based on Hitler's understanding of Tang Qiuli, this Chinese friend.I will definitely take back what belongs to me, so.Between Tang Qiuli and the Russians.There is no possibility of reconciliation and compromise.

Hitler realized that in the far east, there appeared an ally more powerful and capable than the Japanese. Tang Qiuli's status rose rapidly, and he was identified as the German spared no effort.It is necessary to make good friends, and the Japanese, who are already dispensable, have been reduced to the point of being forgotten, which is for the head of state to hear.The country started to queasy.

Therefore, Hitler's rude attitude of interrupting Himmler's speech, the German party, government and military leaders present here understand very well, even Himmler himself, don't take it to heart, is it among comrades in the party, little At large-scale gatherings, the head of state contemptuously referred to the Japanese more than once as "fishermen who are only fit to fish at the seaside!" And the deputy head of the Republic of China is the only person the head of state believes can have an equal dialogue with himself.

Therefore, Himmler stopped talking without embarrassment at all, and said with a smile: "Yes, my Führer, please forgive my negligence!"

Faced with Himmler's apology, Hitler laughed a few times to hide his gaffe, stood up, and said in a concluding tone: "Gentlemen, our discussion should be over, there are more important things waiting for us! "

Looking at his watch, Hitler's eyes suddenly became fiery, "In about five hours, the Russians will be bombarded with artillery shells and bombs from our German Third Reich Army, our soldiers, the tide! What an exciting scene! A great historic moment is coming, and it will be a great moment that will change the history of the world!" As he spoke, Hitler became excited again, waving arm, the voice became high-pitched.

Since Your Excellency the Führer is so excited, all the bosses present will not remain indifferent. They all stood up, performed the Nazi-style military salute together, stretched out their left arms, put their palms together, pointed upward at a 45-degree angle, and shouted in unison: "Hi! !Hitler!"

Hitler was very satisfied, raised his arms with a smile, and motioned for everyone to sit down, "Gentlemen, as this great historical moment is approaching, I hope to share this happiness with my comrades-in-arms. Once again, for this reason, I have specially ordered my chef to prepare a sumptuous supper, right here, waiting for the good news from the front line!" He said with a smile.

Hitler looked at the chief of the general staff, Marshal von Strangs, and said with some humor: "However, dear Strangs, before we enjoy good food and wine, you still have to work hard, order the commander of the Third Army Group Von Clayderman, five hours after the troops on the Eastern Front launched an attack on the Russians, on the British Isles battlefield, he also launched a final attack on the remaining British and American coalition forces!"

"Now that we have started to attack the Russians, there is no need to waste any more time with the smoke screen of the Third Army Group. The British and Americans have had enough leisure time. Let Clayderman end their fantasy, In the telegram, tell Clayderman that after the British and American coalition forces are dealt with, his third army group will be transferred to the Russian battlefield immediately, and I will leave him with a main attack direction!"

Marshal von Strangs stood up with a smile on his face. He was a little flattered by the rare humor of His Excellency the Fuehrer, and he was also very grateful. He replied: "Yes, my Fuehrer, I will convey your message to the Third Army Group immediately. Order, this is the responsibility of the General Staff, I think Marshal von Kleidman must be eagerly waiting for your order, they simply have nothing to do in the British Isles."

"When you sent me a telegram last time, you complained that you were so bored and bored," these words are true, and they can also highlight the brave and combative temper of Marshal von Kleidman, listen It makes people comfortable, but the next words are not only superfluous, but also very inappropriate, "My head of state, whether to inform the Japanese of the news about the imminent attack on the Russians, are they still our allies!"

Hitler's face immediately became gloomy like a black pot, and the other big bosses were also anxious secretly, "You say you guys, which pot is not open and which pot is being lifted, what happened to Himmler just now, didn't you see Come on! Your head was squeezed by the door?"

Marshal von Strangs also suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. Just now, when Himmler was reporting the situation, he mentioned the Japanese, and the head of state interrupted him politely. Now, he has nothing to say. Isn't it bad luck to bring up this stubble for no reason?He regretted so much that he wanted to give himself a big mouth.

Seeing that Hitler was going to erupt like a storm, von Struns was very likely to be unlucky. Goebbels, the Nazi party propaganda minister, hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, "My Führer, as this great historical moment is approaching, What should our propaganda department do so that the voice of the head of state can be heard by the whole world, my head of state, what do you think should be the focus of publicity?"

Goebbels was a master, and with a few quiet words, he diverted Hitler's attention, tantamount to saving Marshal von Strangs. Hitler glanced at him with cold eyes, von Marshal Strong trembled all over, with cold sweat all over his forehead, and hurriedly slipped away. Before going out, he did not forget to take a grateful glance at Goebbels, who was thin and short, but full of evil ideas. .

Hitler's mood returned to normal. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost zero o'clock on April [-]. He looked at the smiling Goebbels appreciatively and said, "Goebbels, there is another very important thing. You need to do it immediately, send a top-secret telegram to my Chinese friend, telling him that the German army will launch a full-scale attack on Russia at dawn on April [-]!"

Speaking of this, Hitler couldn't help smiling, "I think that old friend of mine is just waiting for news from me at this moment, and the delay in sending him a telegram until now is just a joke among old friends. He can understand."

"Goebbels, I believe that your writing will completely convey my meaning to my old friend, and immediately go to the General Staff, where they have a secret radio station. After receiving this telegram, my old friend Tonight, my friend, I might be too excited to sleep!"

Goebbels was a little flattered. The chief of staff, Marshal von Strangs, had always handled such a confidential matter. Now, he had to do it himself. Doesn't it mean that the head of state deliberately made himself pay attention to the affairs of the army? Goebbels' forces are all in the theory and propaganda department, controlling the thoughts of ordinary German people and mastering the channels of external declarations. To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of lip service.

In the traditional sphere of influence of the military, it is definitely a "weak" character, without even a little influence. This has always been Goebbels' regret. He always believed that the tentacles of the propaganda department should involve the eyes of the Third Reich. In the corner, the army is no exception. Of course, Goebbels was not stupid enough to think that Marshal von Strangs had lost the trust of the head of state, and he had the qualifications to replace him.

People have self-knowledge. The biggest difference between Goebbels and the conceited and stupid Goering is that he knows how much he weighs, what he can do and what he can't do. The staff department is the best chance to show the head of state's trust in himself.

Therefore, Goebbels blushed with excitement, and said loudly: "My head of state, I will definitely express your meaning fully to that Vice Chairman Tang. I think, I received a telegram sent in your name." Afterwards, he will surely shout Long Live the Führer with excitement!"
