Battle of the Third Reich

Europe is still full of pride at this time, and the achievements of the development of Western civilization for hundreds of years have not been destroyed by the brutal war. Unfortunately, no one can foresee the future, after all, there is only one time traveler.

Europe’s attitude towards foreign cultures is a kind of tolerance built on a strong position. Europeans were once curious about anything from China. They love Chinese tea, porcelain and silk embroidery, and admire China’s ancient philosophy and Literature and art, they sympathize with the Chinese people who are struggling in the war, but it does not mean that they will respect a living Chinese in their lives.

Asia is no longer the boundary of a civilized world. Europeans can learn from all international media about what is happening in this area. In the decades since the fall of the Manchu Empire, British and French journalists have visited the hinterland of China numerous times and sent back a large number of press releases and recorded photos. They have completely displayed a poor, ignorant and backward decay empire in In front of the world.

For this once central country, some Europeans may feel good, but there will be no awe.

Maintaining the Germanic tradition has always been the focus of propaganda by the Nazi Party. Although the racist propaganda of the Nazis has ceased at this time, the accumulation of the previous ten years has already had a profound impact on German society.

This is Berlin, the capital of the Third Reich. The famous Nazi Party book-burning incident happened in this city, just in front of the square in front of the library of the Humboldt University School of Law, five kilometers away. It is still standing. A bronze sign to commemorate the matter.

The root cause of the book burning incident is actually the hatred and fear of the Nazi Party's foreign culture, especially liberalism and left-wing thought. What the Nazi Party declared to the public was that these foreign cultures were “non-German”. Those words that did not meet Nazi standards polluted the “pure Germanic culture” and were gradually destroying Germany’s “decent family values”. So if a nation falls into a state of fanaticism, even stupid things can be done.

Xu Jun is not yet ready to reverse the German worldview. Nationalism is exactly what he needs at this moment, because he will rely on this to consolidate the hearts of the Germans and do his best to cope with future battles on the Eastern Front.

Therefore, it seems unrealistic for the German people to start accepting foreign culture in a short time. The Chinese waiters at Telford House are all wearing German-style white uniforms because it is a German tradition.

The Germans can accept Asian-style decoration and appliances, but in some respects they still have to maintain their traditions. Telford House has the full support of the German Security Administration, which of course also includes management consultants.

Colonel Dougan walked to the door and opened the door, making a calling gesture in the hallway. Immediately, a waitress wearing a German maid costume, carrying a white tray in her hand, walked lightly into the private room.

"This is the menu, dear sir." The waitress gave an impeccable curtsy before placing the tray on the table.

"Is Manager Zhou waiting outside?" Weiler turned to ask Root.

"Yes, he is in the hallway, will he be called in now." Dougan replied.

"Let him come in." Xu Jun looked down at the menu and said aloud in his mouth.

"You go out first and call you when you order." Weiler told the waitress.

"Okay, sir." The waitress bowed again and turned to the door.

Perhaps because of the successful career during this period, boss Zhou looks much younger than Paris. He is wearing a gray three-piece suit today, with exquisite workmanship and materials. His trousers and lined shoes are shiny, and he looks like a successful businessman.

"Hi! Reinhardt!" Standing at the door of the box, boss Zhou raised his right arm and greeted the head of state loudly.

"Come here, Zhou, come to me." Xu Jun put down the menu and looked at the boss with great interest.

If it wasn't Weiller who had made this happen, he might only think of it occasionally, the "comrade" who opened a restaurant in Paris.

He is no longer a rookie who has just arrived in your land. Over the past six months, he has met many Chinese. Germany has not recognized the Nanjing regime, nor has it signed an alliance treaty with Japan. The government and Germany still maintain diplomatic relations with China. The Chinese government has an embassy in Berlin.

At this time, the Chinese ambassador to Germany was named Chen Jie. Before entering the diplomatic world, he had been working in the government's Department of Commerce and Industry, and even worked as a manager of the Salt Industry Bank. This ambassador Chen once studied at Imperial University in Tokyo, Japan and Berlin University in Germany. He is definitely a master, but he studied economics and law. God knows how he suddenly moved into the diplomatic circle. In addition to Japanese, German, and English, he also has some Latin, and there is no language barrier to be an ambassador to Germany.

One of the more famous things in history is that he opposed the consul of the State Government in Vienna at that time, and issued a visa to the Jews to Shanghai. As a result, he became a stain for his life. Every time the news media praised He Fengshan, he would give this ambassador to Chen Be critical.

But if you look at this issue from the perspective of an ambassador, he did nothing wrong. He Fengshan certainly has his reasons for doing that, but don’t forget that Chen Jie is the plenipotentiary ambassador to Germany, he is directly facing the pressure of the Nazi government. The person in question, he needs to consider the issue from the overall diplomatic perspective. At that time, the Sino-Japanese War had fully erupted, and the National Government was also looking forward to obtaining international support. Although Germany had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Japan, it did not openly open its eyes on Japanese aggression. If the attitude of a subordinate diplomat changes Germany's attitude towards China, this responsibility may not be able to be fulfilled by a "righteous" person. In the end, the stick will still fall on his ambassador.

During that time, Germany was concentrating on the detention of Austrian Jews, but according to the laws established by the Nazis, if a valid exit visa was held, the concentration camp could not detain the Jew. The visa became a precious item equivalent to freedom in Austria at that time. . Moreover, at that time, the Jews in Austria did not even have the passports they needed to leave the country. Although the unrestricted issuance of visas by the Consul of Vienna saved many Jews, they could also be regarded as the destruction and provocation of the German Jewish policy by the Nazi authorities.

Xu Jun met the ambassador Chen Jie in the capital of the head of state, and also met the members of the embassy. However, he did not show too much affection, but just followed the normal talks of diplomatic etiquette. But the reaction of the new German head of state was enough to surprise Ambassador Chen.

"I was going to entertain your government ambassador after the New Year. I originally wanted to choose a restaurant in Berlin East, but now I think your environment here is good..." Xu Jun reached out to the teapot, but the boss Zhou grabbed it first. A pot handle.

"If I can entertain the Ambassador of the National Government here, I am willing to waive all expenses." Zhou Yun picked up the teapot and respectfully refilled the head of state.

"Mr. Zhou, this is a national diplomatic business, and you will not lose less money than you should receive." Xu Jun frowned.

"Yes, everything is up to you." Boss Zhou nodded quickly and agreed.

It can't be blamed for his lack of demeanor, but the aura in front of him is too strong and his identity is too noble. The non-standard Zhili mandarin really put pressure on Zhou Yun. Faced with such a neat German head who speaks Chinese, boss Zhou feels that he has no secret at all in front of the other party.
