Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 347: Negotiation (2)

This time Kong Xiangxi traveled in secret as an individual, and was not a regular state visit, so he did not bring too many entourages. Secretaries, interpreters, guards, guards, etc. added up to a dozen individuals. ←,. French Indochina arranged for them to stay in the most luxurious metropolitan hotel in the downtown area of ​​Tokyo (Hanoi). Indochina officially knew the reason for this pedestrian. High reception specifications.

The French have been operating in Tokyo (Hanoi) for many years. The city’s infrastructure has become quite French. If it is not the oriental faces that are full of streets and streets, it will make people feel that they have come to a small town in southern France.

The buildings in the city center reflect the diversity of French architectural styles. Almost every famous architectural genre in the French mainland can find a trace here. There are spacious boulevards all over the city. The exterior walls of the buildings on both sides of the street are either inlaid with exquisite plaster and cement carvings, or decorated with beautiful paintings with bright yellow or emerald green as the main color. The French took great pains in the construction of this city, and wanted to make those French travellers feel the atmosphere of their hometown, so that both in urban construction and daily management, they have actually invested a lot of blood.

After sending the envoy to the hotel, the light drizzle had stopped at this time, and the bright sun shining through the clouds again shone on the city, and the gentle tide air was filled with the fragrance of the vegetation after the rain. Pedestrians on the street gradually hid, and French housewives living nearby strolled along the road with strollers. After school, the schoolchildren carried leather school bags on the lawn between the buildings to chase and play.

Looking at the scene in front of me and the scene of peace and tranquility, the visiting Chinese personnel were deeply touched. Compared with the ruined and old state capital, and the homeland of mountains and rivers that were tormented under the iron hooves of the enemy, it was like being in another place here. A world can't help but be filled with emotions.

"This is a proof of strong backing. If Annan was not protected by the powerful force of France, how could it be possible to maintain this peaceful and harmonious environment." Tan Guang, the secretary of the official secretariat of the interpreter, exclaimed on the balcony of the hotel.

"Look, that's the French Army." Sharp Xiong, Kong Xiangxi's secretary, pointed to the street with his finger.

A group of heavily armed French infantry walked through the street. The soldiers carried Betier rifles on their shoulders, French tropical helmets with khaki helmets, and canvas marching backpacks. They were tied with military blankets, kettles and lunch boxes. Just like a posture to prepare for long distance training.

The officers wore French-style military caps, leather boots, breeches, crotch silver sheath sabers around the waist, and walked on the side of the team on the majestic and powerful horses. Between each marching column was a formation of heavy weapons. Both the translator and the secretary were The literati, who do not know much about the weapons of the foreign army, can only recognize that there are several heavy machine guns and several infantry artillery, which further confirms that the force in front of them is not a colonial security force, but a regular field military force.

"Although the French army was defeated by the Germans, the light of the morale and morale of this army can be seen. The old European strong army is indeed well-known." I don't know when Kong Xiangxi also came to the balcony, he stood on two Next to the attendant was watching the scene on the street.

"Sir, if the state government can train like this, there will be 100,000 soldiers, and it will surely be able to tell those Oriental devil to come and go, and the recapture of the rivers and mountains is probably just around the corner." Secretary Xia sent it with emotion.

"It's not easy to say, only because of the strong national strength of France, we can spare no effort to train such a strong army. Each soldier wears a large amount of expenses. It is not counted as heavy weapons, horses, ammunition, and daily equipment training. Consumption and so on, every time such a soldier is trained, the money it consumes is enough to support the expenditure of a farmhouse for several years." Kong Xiangxi said with a shake of his head.

"Now the enemy is occupying the borders of our rivers and mountains, the country is weak for a long time, and there is simply no way to repel the stubborn soldiers alone. I have long believed that the government can only reverse the dangerous situation by seeking strong foreign aid. This time we must go all out to eliminate the misunderstanding between China and Germany." Kong Xianxi finished pulling out the handkerchief from his pants pocket and wiped his hands wet with rain on the fence.

When the master knew Chai Migui, Kong Xiangxi now resonated with this sentence. Years of warlord warfare have already beaten China to the full, and tore the country apart. In order to maintain their own domination, warlords in various regions are divided into different regions and ethnic groups, and artificially cause the confrontation between civilians in various provinces, cities and regions. The purpose is to exclude the influence of the central government and to be stable and stable as their own emperor.

As a result, China's finances have also become a mess. The financial systems in each region have become separate. The tax system is chaotic. On the other hand, it has been 29 years since the Republic of China, but the state can't even collect income taxes alone.

The administrative power of the state government in the ruling area was maintained only to the county, and only the surrounding areas of Chongqing were extended to the township because of the relationship with the capital. In fact, some towns and villages are only nominally ruled by the government. The county heads and village heads are all local squires. Few have received state training in government affairs. They still follow the custom passed down from the Manchu period and put a heavy tax burden on them. All of them are imposed on the lowest-level farmers and small vendors, causing a large number of farmers to lose their land. The vendors are bankrupt and can only leave their homes and businesses to flee, which is equivalent to cutting off the source of tax revenue for the country.

The Japanese aggression took away a large number of prosperous areas along the coast, lost taxes in these areas, and the government’s finances were not enough to make ends meet. In the year of moving to Chongqing, the deficit had reached 120%. The district is still constantly asking the government to distribute money and grain bullets. How could the group of Qiu Ba know that the government is approaching the verge of financial bankruptcy.

"The financial problems in this country are very serious, and the currency value has fluctuated more and more. It has been depreciating continuously in the past half a year. According to information we have obtained, their former Treasury Secretary is desperately trying to win over members of the Senate in the United States to Request the U.S. government to endorse it for an emergency loan assistance." Dr. Panke is an advisor to the Special Envoy and an expert on international issues seconded from the German Ministry of Economy and Finance. He has written several books on economics. Appreciated and valued by the current Finance Minister Shakht.

What Blumberg didn’t know was that Dr. Panke also had an unknown identity. He had become a “priest” as early as three or six years, and now he is promoted to a “bishop” and has access to organizations. The core secret of the company is extremely respectful and loyal to Xu Jun.

"The head of state’s judgment is correct, although some changes have occurred in the middle, but from the current point of view, the development of the matter is more and more beneficial to us. The German Empire returns to Asia again, this is a great achievement, and it is an excellent Opportunity, sooner or later the empire will recapture what was lost." Baron Lébernau said excitedly flapping the folder in his hand.

The baron is an attaché sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose mission is to inspect the administration and operation of German diplomatic units in Asia on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is a fanatical nationalist, **** Nazi party stick, but unexpectedly honest and self-defense, and administrative ability is also very outstanding, so he escaped the cleansing within the organization and continues to be retained.

Blumberg sat at his desk, reading the telegram from Berlin that day. It can be seen that the head of state is very concerned about his situation. Every time after submitting the report, he will get a reply within a few hours.

Regarding this incident, the Field Marshal did not show a particularly violent reaction, because from the perspective of his high-level officials, the encounter of a pilot was not enough to trigger the breakdown of relations between countries, plus his Special status, can be said to move the whole body at once.

Blumberg is very clear that the most difficult part of this matter is that the dignity of the head of empire was challenged. Germany’s new Asian strategy was personally proposed by the head of state. For this reason, he even sent a mission to China. There is an olive branch expressing goodwill, and these things happening now, it seems that the piles and pieces are beating the head of the head.

The head of state will be a little bit angry and angry. This point Blumberg understands very well, so he is very happy that Xu Jun can still keep calm and did not make some unmanageable decisions afterwards. If it was replaced by Hitler, how would you react to such a thing? Blumberg didn't dare to think deeper, he was already chilling.

"Governor Jean de Gu and I will set up a dinner tonight to entertain the Minister of Finance. You will also attend the meeting. If you have any questions, you can try it out at the banquet." After that, Blumberg Signed the name under that telegram and put it in the folder for the secretary to file.

"Dr. Panke, Minister Schacht’s proposal has been dismissed by the head of state. I personally fully support the decision of the head of state. I remember your opinion is the same as mine. I am very happy to hear this good news." Bren Borg clenched his fists in both hands and placed it on the desk of his desk.

"This is inevitable. Your Excellency Shakht does not understand the current situation in China. I have made recommendations to him more than once and cannot look at this country from the perspective of five years ago. She is now under aggression, and half of her land is already Fall into the hands of the Japanese. They now have neither sufficient payment capacity nor too much material to hedge their accounts." Dr. Pan Ke pushed his glasses and felt helpless about the boss's unrealistic thoughts.

Germany is busy with economic system reform at this time, revising some complex and unreasonable temporary economic policies. In the next six months, Germany will build a framework for a unified European economy. The work in this area is inexhaustible, involving countless powers and interests. Dozens of top financial institutions and consortia have joined this The initial formulation of the plan, currently a large group of experts and chaebols are squatting in the conference room in Munich, it is dark. "So I said that the plan of the head of state is the most correct choice. Anyway, we will see the finance minister soon. We can directly ask his opinion, of course, after he explains the incident clearly." Remberg said with a finger on the table with a smile.

For monthly tickets and recommended tickets, the author needs more motivation and support.
