Age of Rebirth

Night has fallen on the land of Liaodong, and the sea breeze blowing from Liaodong Bay has taken away the heat of August. Outside the window, the shadows of the trees are dancing. Tang Qiuli stopped writing, and he is quite satisfied with the part of the telegram he has written earlier. , The attitude is clear, but this is not enough. A thorn should be planted in Hitler's heart for the Japanese, lest the Japanese always think about talking about the Germans!

"Your Excellency, you are familiar with the histories of various countries in the world. You must know that the Far East, the south of the Outer Xing'an Mountains, the east of Heilongjiang and the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin Island, are all Chinese territories. In the hands of the Qing government, it was seized by force, but now it is occupied by the Japanese, and Qiuli, as a member of the Chinese Communist Party, sent his troops to recover the land, which is due to his duty!"

"There is no secret. I have to hide it from Your Excellency. Right now, my deputy, General Liu Tiehan, is commanding more than one million elite troops to carry out a devastating blow to more than half a million Japanese soldiers in the Far East. In the Far East, With a land of more than one million square kilometers, I am determined to win it, and I am determined to recover it!"

"Qiu Li is capable and powerful now, regaining all the land that China has lost since ancient times, and Qiu Li has millions of elite troops under his command, relying on hundreds of millions of people in the country, and is not afraid to fight any force or country!"

These words are meant to imply a warning, warning Hitler, if he really gets involved in the war between himself and the Japanese, covets the land of more than 50 square kilometers in the Far East, and resorts to armed intervention, he will risk following The risk of independent divisions going to war!

Smiling, Tang Qiuli is very satisfied with what he wrote. Don't look at your Hitler's army, which is in full swing and sweeping across the European continent.The American and British allied forces lost their helmets and armor, and now they are beating the Soviets almost to the point of subjugation, but I, Tang Qiuli, are not afraid, try it if you have the courage!

"...Your Excellency the Head of State. I really doubt the intentions of the Japanese. One-half of the land in the Far East, which will inevitably be lost, is used as a bargaining chip for the Head of State to mediate the war between Qiuli and the Japanese. Its intention Where is it? Is there any sinister intention to drag Germany into a war with 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 Chinese territory since ancient times, and In the list of Qiuli must recover, it is not the bargaining chip of the Japanese!"

"With the political wisdom of Your Excellency the Head of State, there will be no dilemma, of course. How to make a decision, Qiu Li has no intention of influencing the thinking of Your Excellency the Head of State. You can decide for yourself. This is all. Perhaps Qiu Li's words are too intense , but it is an unchangeable word!"

"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, with white mountains and black waters, Daxing'an Mountains, vast forests and seas, covered in silver, in Germany and even There is no such scenery in Ukraine! Goodbye! Looking forward to the next meeting!"

So far, a telegram with a lot of words has been completed, which can be said to be indecent but non-reciprocal. Tang Qiuli is satisfied with blowing on the ink-stained manuscript paper, thinking about Hitler's dumbfounded expression when he saw this telegram. He couldn't help but chuckled, and now, he wasn't afraid of offending the Germans. Besides, this telegram didn't matter whether it was offending or not. It was Hitler who found it!

Who told him to covet the Japanese and write a bad check? If he were himself, he would ignore the Japanese's stubble at all, and asked Tewei to call in Ge Zhenzhuang and Chen Feng from the Shizhi Communication Department. Tang Qiuli carefully The order came: "Send this telegram immediately, using the highest level of code!"

After the telegram to Tang Qiuli was sent out, Hitler also felt uneasy. He knew his old Chinese friend too well. He was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. , The issue of national and national sovereignty has always been uncompromising. Although my telegram is a Chinese-style Tai Chi, I am afraid that what my old friend returned was a straight punch that came straight to the face, and the wind howled?

Regarding the telegram sent to Tang Qiuli, from the bottom of his heart, Hitler did not think that his old Chinese friend with a tough personality could accept German mediation. If it were him, he would not agree. Yes, for example, now that Tang Qiuli came forward to mediate the war between Germany and the Soviet Union, Hitler would definitely be furious!

But the telegram was sent out anyway, just as Tang Qiuli judged, "Benefits!" The Far East, which is rich in mineral resources and vast in size, has half of the territory, which is a huge temptation. Hitler's original intention was also to embrace So, if it works, you can get benefits, if it doesn't work, Germany will not lose anything at all. On the contrary, it will sell Tang Qiuli a favor, which can be justified by the Japanese!

Hitler, who is the hero of the world, naturally would not abandon the benefits that can be obtained with a little effort, but he has a perfect grasp of proportion and scale, so there is no threat in the telegram. Besides, Tang Qiuli also I don’t like this at all, some are just greetings and kindness between old friends, but at the end of the telegram, I seem to mention a few words casually, which is very embarrassing!

This telegram to Tang Qiuli kicked the ball to Tang Qiuli's feet with Chinese-style Tai Chi Kung Fu. Hitler regarded it as his most proud diplomatic work. How does this old Chinese friend accept the recruit?

Hitler did not wait too long. After enjoying a purely Ukrainian-style dinner in the streets and alleys of Kiev when the lights were on, as usual, several accompanying imperial party, government and military officials gathered in the living room, It seems that they are chatting, but in fact, they are also looking forward to it. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ribbentrop, hastily rushed over.

"My Fuhrer, the Confidential Office of the Fuhrer's Palace, I have sent a call back from your old Chinese friend, General Tang Qiuli!" Ribbentrop took out a thick stack of telegrams from his briefcase, and handed them to Hitler with both hands. .

Chief of the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht, Marshal von Struns, head of the Central Propaganda Department of the Nazi Party, Dr. Goebbels, one of the national leaders of the SS, Himmler, the head of the Gestapo, and an additional national vice president of the SS Commander General Paul Schulenburg and several German party, government and military officials all looked at His Excellency the Head of State, hoping to judge the reply from the Chinese Vice Chairman Tang from the face of the Head of State. , roughly what does that mean?

Hitler looked at the telegram with a very rich expression. A mustache under his nose was constantly trembling, and his face was half a smile, neither angry nor happy. Several senior officials were confused. , If Tang Qiuli's call back made the head of state very angry, the head of state at this moment should be furious and screamed. If the head of state is happy, he must be laughing proudly!

But what is the expression now? However, before a few senior officials guessed for too long, Hitler put down the telegram and said with a wry smile: "My old Chinese friend has returned the telegram, and he is uncompromising as always. This point has not changed at all. Strong, your judgment is correct, he is also determined to win the Far East! The Japanese gave us a blank check, these hateful fishermen!"

The senior officials present all understood that His Excellency the Fuhrer had hit a hard nail in front of Vice Chairman Tang of China. Logically speaking, as far as the Fuhrer’s temper is concerned, he must be very angry. After sweeping the European continent, there is no leader of that country who dares to go against the will of the head of state. Of course, except for the Americans and the British, they are enemies, but why is the head of state not angry?No rage?

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

Hitler sneered and said: "It's very simple. If the mediation fails, how to word it is the responsibility of your foreign ministry. As for what to do next, that is the business of the Japanese themselves, and has nothing to do with us in Germany!"

For Tang Qiuli's call back, Hitler did not pass it on to several senior officials, but sealed it up with his own hands and handed it over to his confidential secretary. !"

Just this telegram gave several German party, government and military officials unlimited room for imagination, which can make the head of state depressed and helpless. Probably in the world, there is only the young Vice Chairman Tang of China!

With the fastest speed, Ribbentrop conveyed Hitler, the head of state, to mediate Tang Qiuli and the Japanese, and conveyed the failure of the Manchurian War to the Japanese through diplomatic channels. The Japanese Foreign Minister Masamune Ito, who received the news, almost fainted like a thunderbolt after receiving the telegram. He didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately went to the palace overnight to ask to see Emperor Hirohito.

After reading the German's reply, Emperor Hirohito's face turned pale all of a sudden. The blow of Hitler's failed mediation was even greater for Hirohito. The only hope to save the crisis in Manchuria and save more than 100 million soldiers of the Kwantung Army 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 that Hitler was not interested in the fertile land of more than 50 square kilometers in the Far East. None?

Hiroren knew that, as far as Hitler's character was concerned, he would never give up anything that was beneficial to Germany if possible. It's a character you don't want to mess with. The land of more than 50 square kilometers is certainly tempting, but you have to be able to get it?

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