Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 6 Chapter 10: meet

Blumberg wore an army field marshal uniform, a full set of medals on his chest, a marshal's slightly stick, and his riding boots were shiny and shiny. The main members of the Special Envoy took the motor boat on the [Prince Eugen], and the entourage took the transportation boat provided by the public concession. In the hustle and bustle of the Universal Business Corps military band, a group of people will soon be on the barge opposite the Central Bank Building The pier landed.

The public concession is right next to the wharf, and a wooden viewing platform has been set up right across Nanjing Road. A large number of flowers and trees were placed on both sides of the aisle as decorations. The concession flag, the English, French and German flags were hung in the middle of the platform.

The consul generals of Britain, France, and the United States in Shanghai, as well as all the board members of the Ministry of Industry and Public Affairs Bureau, plus a group of diplomatic envoys in the concession and wealthy Chinese and foreign gentry, anyway, they are individuals with status and status in Shanghai. Gathered in wait in front of the stage, waiting for the arrival of the German special envoy.

There was a circle of Chinese and foreign media reporters stationed in Shanghai around the stage. At that time, the reporters did not have the photographic equipment like the long guns and short guns in the later generations. A ZEISS news machine is already a professional, especially in Shanghai. The newspaper office directly set up a large camera using glass negatives and held up a flash lamp equipped with magnesium powder. These ground snakes were always convenient and occupied a favorable terrain early.

The German news team that rushed to Shanghai from Hong Kong by special plane in advance appeared to stand out here. Not only did they mean that they were big, but they also used far more equipment than their peers. They took three movie cameras and brought a The on-site recording system using the most advanced wire-recorder and the red armored black eagle armbands on their sleeves led them to become competing subjects.

Speaking of wire-recorded tape recorders, Germany actually invented the audio tape four years ago, but it was plagued by material problems. Before the development of new plastics, it was temporarily unable to enter commercial production.

The major media in Japan also sent the most powerful interview lineup at that time. The Japanese news industry was actually close to the advanced level of the West at the time. Although the internal organizational structure is somewhat primitive and the interview methods are relatively simple, but in equipment and technology In terms of investment, it is not weaker than any Western media newspaper.

In addition to [Daily], [Asahi], [Yomiuri] and other paper media, there are also news film crews dispatched by the [Dongbao] company. They brought two film cameras in preparation for recording the entire mission. Activities during the visit to Japan.

For today's Japanese nationals, the actions of the German Special Envoy are full of appeal. In particular, land-based wars are now entering a state of stagnation, and the domestic economy has begun to fall into recession. The entire Japanese empire needs to be injected with a dose of stimulants. The favor and friendship of Germany, the world’s top power, will be able to greatly inspire the Yamato nation. Morale.

But what embarrassed the Japanese was that this time Germany’s trip to Shanghai was too hasty and did not leave enough preparation time for Japan, and Japan failed to gain control of the concession in China, so most of the limelight was The management departments of the two concessions were stolen, and the theme of the entire visit has changed. Now no one will think that this is what the German envoy visits the Shanghai controlled area of ​​Japan, because in this scene, The German consulates from all walks of life in the Shanghai Concession warmly welcomed the visit.

Houbin's claim to the Lord refers to the situation in front of him. Matsuoka’s right nose is almost crooked, but even if he is a foreign minister of a country, he is only a Japanese official in the concession, and he is a guest like the special envoy. , Not the owner of this land.

Therefore, the Japanese Foreign Minister and a bunch of diplomatic consular secretaries, as well as the Japanese overseas business circles, military circles and Wang Pseudo Rascals, can only stand in the area specially circled for the Japanese and wait. Because the Japanese army could not enter the concession, for the safety of these Japanese people, the public concession also dispatched nearly 200 Indian patrols and stood around the Japanese in a circle.

The Sikhs with an average height of 1.8 meters, also known as the red-headed Asan in Shanghai, stand beside the Japanese with an average height of only 1.6 meters. It is a kind of naked irony to see a group of Japanese people popular. White face.

The Japanese did not expect the Ministry of Industry to dare to play this set with themselves in person. When did the British waist become so hard, although the British and the Germans signed a friendly treaty, the Germans would really fight against this for themselves Has the enemy in the past half a century come up?

Matsuoka expressed doubts about this. After deciding to meet with the German mission, he must take the time to discuss the issue of the Shanghai concession. The Ministry of Industry and Bureau is no longer suitable for managing this land. Germany and Japan should take over the position of these bastards. If Germany finds it too inconvenient to be too far away, Japan can fully assume this responsibility. Germany only needs to sit and enjoy the benefits in China.

After giving himself more energy, Matsuoka finally depressed his breath.

But apparently the British were not prepared to just let the Japanese foreign minister go like this, and in a tidal sound of walking, the armored British infantry phalanx came along the Bund and flicked his arms.

Although these Malay garrisons are very capable of fighting, they are in the top ranks when they walk in the queue. The best thing the British Army is doing in Malaysia is the military parade. The neat queue and military capacity can always remind those locals who are not duty-bound, don’t forget In the past, the lobster soldier's famous name.

This batch of British troops received new equipment shipped from the country before departure. In fact, the original rifle was also very easy to use. Anyway, a few bullets could not be shot a year, but after the outbreak of the European War, the troops carried on for a few months. Intensive training, which only a little bit of rifling. However, changing equipment means that a large amount of oil and water will be taken into account, and the officers will of course not refuse. The replaced weapons are used as scrapped firearms, and they are sold to the German arms dealers by adding 20% ​​of the profit. As for who will ultimately fall into the hands, with 20,000 rifles, the British Empire has no time to care.

A group of British Empire soldiers carried rifles and walked majesticly on the streets of the Bund in Shanghai. The flag of the word was waving and the sound of the bagpipes fluttered.

The Japanese are somewhat out of control, and the British have re-garrisoned in Shanghai. Obviously, there have been new changes in London's attitude towards China and Japan. This is something that must be paid attention to and should be reported to Tokyo immediately.

The British certainly don’t hula. All the infantry regiments play, so it takes too long to walk down. It’s okay to steal the limelight from the Japanese. It’s self-defeating to steal the limelight from the Germans. After three company phalanxes walked off the stage, they assembled on the right side of the stage to cheer for the British General Director of the Ministry of Industry and the British Consul General George.

While the Japanese were still wondering how to write the report, the next wave of infantry phalanx arrived again, and this time it was the French foreign corps' turn to appear.

These people are different from the British parallels, and all of them are real desperates, fighting for France for money/honour and green cards. These infantrymen once fought against the Moroccan horse thieves in the desert. They also fought against local smugglers in the Lao jungle. It can be said that these people even have a few lives in the hands of the cook, and they are the most tenacious armed forces in the French army.

The French sent foreign infantry regiments to Shanghai to really have the idea of ​​being together with people. Wang Pseudo and the government and Japanese agents in the French Concession wantonly made the French Consul General Aoqi a bit crazy, but suffered from the lack of enough to have enough Deterrent power.

The so-called "Chinese dispatch army" with two battalions in Shanghai in France, the training was lax at the usual time, and it was corroded by the bright lights of the Shanghai beach from top to bottom, and there was also a so-called colonial mixed second battalion, most of which were half The Annan soldiers who were hired from French Indochina were usually devoted to their duties, and they were exemplary of excellent stooges, but let them really go to war with others. Don't be too reluctant to think about it.

Looking at the murderous foreign troops, as well as four s-35 tanks painted with camouflage paint, Consul Aoqi has already begun to plan. Should I find a reason to directly kill a secret agent who has always upset him? organ. Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun, who were standing in the Wang Puppet team, all felt a sudden chill on their backs.

The dog who played behind the French was the main character of the finalist, the German Waffen SS, but before they appeared, Marshal Blumberg took a step forward, under the support of a group of guards and patrols, and took a big step to come In front of the viewing platform.

ps: Catch up. I might get cold when I go home at night. Now I have a fever.
