Battle of the Third Reich

Japan’s reorganized diplomatic envoys once again submitted a request for an audience to the German government. German Deputy Foreign Minister Ribbentrop brought the interpretive documents and post-processing report from the Japanese envoy to the Ritz Hotel in Paris. ∷∷，German military and political institutions are evacuating from this hotel, the hotel has received a compensation from the German army, although it is not enough to make up for the losses caused by the suspension of business for several months, but it is no more than a cent in history It's much better to get it.

Xu Jun still stayed in his exclusive office on the third floor. Yesterday, a luxurious promotion ceremony was held in the Grand Ballroom of the Ritz Hotel. Xu Jun personally awarded these marshals and generals with promotion documents and badge ranks. And he hung the shining medals on the chests of the officers himself. This is the best way to reward the generals who pay attention to tradition and honor. The generals who participated in the ceremony could not be as good as the heads of state at the time. praise.

In order to avoid stimulating the self-esteem of the French people, the ceremony was not open to outsiders. The participants were all German internal personnel, and declined all foreign media interviews and visits. The Army originally wanted to determine the venue of the ceremony in the harvest hall of the Palace of Versailles, but Xu Jun thought about it after vetoing the proposal. The French regarded Versailles as a national pride and a symbol of the country. William I was crowned in the Hall of Mirrors The French have hated the French for almost half a century. The French people regard it as the shame and humiliation of the French nation. When they are advocating national reconciliation between the two countries, they should not be squandered for some vanity in the face.

At present, the speed of national reconciliation between Germany and France has caused many experts to break their glasses. Even Betten did not expect that the process will be so smooth. The French people have expressed their warm approval and welcome for the olive branch extended by Germany. . Now German officers and soldiers walking on the streets of France will no longer feel the hatred of the people around them. They will also get the same service as the French when they enter and leave various consumer places. No one will spit in the coffee they want. The soup was dusted. Xu Jun is very pleased with the current good trend. The reconciliation with the French is the most important step in his European strategy. Whether this step can be successful will directly affect the subsequent series of policies and the development of the development plan. . The alliance between the two European powers will be the firm cornerstone of Xu Jun's new European order.

Therefore, Xu Jun cannot overemphasize the relationship between Germany and France. This time the conflict in French Indochina just gave Xu Jun an excellent opportunity to show the French people the friendly will of the German government and the importance of the covenant. Germany will not hesitate to give its allies all the support it needs.

"This thing is a bunch of worthless empty talk. What we need is their most sincere apology and compensation that satisfies us. We are not blackmailers and will not ask them to pay more than the actual loss value. Germany has already shown With enough restraint and goodwill, they should respond seriously to our goodwill, but what are these. Do you want to humiliate the Third Reich? You should not accept this garbage at all, you should take this thing directly Throw it on Oosima’s (Oshima) face." Xu Junhe took the document in front of him and photographed Ribbentrop's chest. The vice foreign minister looked pale at the pile of documents scattered on the carpet under his feet. on.

"Give this thing back to the Japanese and tell them that our request has been clearly written in the protest book, and other issues are beyond the scope of this negotiation. For the German request, they can only agree Or object, there is no third option." Xu Jun stood up and turned to his desk and walked in front of Ribbentrop. He reached out and patted the shoulder of the vice foreign minister.

"I have seen your work results during this time. I can say that I am very satisfied. It seems that the previous lesson has made you reborn. I also mentioned your current performance in the letter to Minister Niu Wright. Tell him that you should take a look at you. But this time, Joachim, you need to learn how to judge and think." After finishing Xu Jun's head, he shook his head, his face disappointed with disappointment.

"I'm very sorry, my head of state." The voice of the Vice Foreign Minister, who was moved by Xu Jun's words, began to tremble.

"I don't need you to apologize to me, as long as I see the final result, Mr. Ribbentrop, now pick up the files on the ground." Xu Jun patted the arm of the former wine merchant again. Turned back to the desk and sat down.

"There are the compensation conditions that I have determined after consulting with President Betten. In the document, I have granted you full power to conduct diplomatic negotiations on behalf of the German government. You should pay attention to the requirements that are indicated by the black line in the article. This is our final bottom line, and absolutely no changes are allowed." Xu Jun took a folder from the desk drawer. The cover is covered with a dazzling seal of top secret documents.

"Yes, my head." Ribbentrop couldn't help but be overjoyed. After a few months, he was once again given diplomatic power by the head of state. He regarded this as a signal to regain Xu Jun's importance, Ribent Luo Fu saw hope of returning to the throne of foreign minister. After all, Niu Wright is very old, and sooner or later he will retire from his diplomatic post.

"As for the questions they asked for, wait until the negotiation results come out, and I don't want to see them now." Xu Jun took out a report from the file box next to his desk, and then did it to Ribbentrop A gesture of withdrawal.

"Got it, my head of state, hi! Reinhardt!" Ribbentrov sucked up his stomach and gave a hand raise, then turned around and left the office with two documents.

"My head of state, Ribbentrov has performed very well during this time. As far as I know, he has been running between Berlin and the European countries to complete your task." Weierle walked to Xu Jun's desk And put a cup of green tea on the table.

"Do you think I'm too harsh on him?" Xu Jun picked up green tea and lowered his head to sniff the tea.

"Okay, maybe one thing. This is a slippery guy with strong social skills, but his mind is not smart enough, and he also has ambitions beyond his personal ability, so at some point he must be given some pressure, he Will really use your mind to think about things."

"Understood, my head, I am ashamed that I didn't see your intentions." Weierle said he owed his body.

"You are doing very well, Weierle, I need someone to remind me about these details." Xu Jun took a sip of green tea and then picked up a pen from the pen holder at the table. The signature office signed his name.

"My head, please forgive my curiosity. What did the Japanese reply say?" Weierle asked respectfully. He had not read the document and wondered why Xu Jun was so angry.

"They explained the conflict, and they confirmed that it was a human accident, because the army battalion commander misunderstood the order of the superior, so they made the wrong decision, and they have already imposed severe punishment on the responsible officer. "" Xu Jun replied while reading another report.

"They want to shirk responsibility?"

"That's not true. They admitted that all the blame for the incident was on the Japanese side, and they were willing to apologize to the German and French governments on the matter." Xu Jun put down the document and looked at Weiler.

"They want to end the matter in secret and don't want to make it public in the world. This is something I can't accept. What's even more ridiculous is that they want to bribe us with money and ask us to put pressure on France, no longer This incident continues to be studied. At the same time, they still miss the issue of the northern border of French Indochina, and asked me to support their passage and garrison in northern French Indochina, and asked France to cut off all traffic and ties between French Indochina and China. . They thought they were who they thought Germany would act according to their wishes." Xu Jun sneered and picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"It sounds unreasonable, but my head, I believe that Ribbentrop will let them correct their positions." Weierle comforted with a smile.

"They want to find out where our bottom line is. Oosima is a German pass. He knows our way of thinking very well. He will not make such low-level mistakes. You must be good at dealing with the Japanese. Tough, if you can’t dispel these people’s delusions at one time and make them feel that they can take advantage of it, then they will be able to take measures and put forward various unrealistic requirements. They have been doing this for decades. We have to take advantage This opportunity will draw them a red line to ensure that they will not disturb our deployment and strategy in a short period of time. I think these Japanese people will soon understand that any tricks in front of us have no effect and must be taken. Only with actual benefits can we get German tolerance." Xu Jun finished and put the teacup gently on the desk.
