Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 6 Chapter 13: Relieve

Matsuoka tried to suppress the anger in his chest. He had fallen into a trap. At this time, struggling to resist would increase the shame he suffered.

This is completely illogical, and Matsuoka Yoko is puzzled. The only thing he can be sure of at the moment is that this should be a joint operation of the two concessions, but he does not understand the purpose of the British and French. Things that might seriously damage diplomatic relations come out.

A foreign minister is excluded from the high-level welcome team. Is there anything more embarrassing to the Japanese empire than this kind of thing? But what can he do now? With so many reporters and people from all over the world, would he want the tens of thousands of people present to make a face-off with Britain and France for this matter?

In this way, everyone will know that the foreign minister of the Japanese empire has caught the trap of others, and then, besides bringing shame to the empire, he will not be able to reap any results.

Britain and France may make concessions face to face, and the empire may have saved some face, but the international public opinion afterwards will definitely not stand on the side of the Japanese empire. The Japanese empire has no say in the world at this moment. The countries that dominate world public opinion are now all standing on the observation platform. Germany controls the entire Europe, and the influence of Britain and France has spread all over the world.

Japan tried hard to leave Asia and enter Europe, trying to learn to imitate Western society, but eventually found that this was just wishful thinking, because the other party did not think that the eastern race was qualified to be equal to them. "Uncivilized Barbarians", "East Asian Sick Man", "Yellow-skin Monkey", in the eyes of mainstream Western society at that time, the image of Asians has always been trivial, evil and stupid, even if you can speak French fluently, Wearing a straight dress can't change the prejudice in their hearts.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, racism was the main theme of the Western world at that time. Like the suppression of Jews in Europe, the United States also formulated a bunch of racist regulations and bills, not only for black people, but all colored people in the United States. This also includes Japanese who live in the United States.

Yoshinori Matsuoka does not want to be the target of ridicule by foreign media. He is already in a rather awkward situation. Now, what he regrets most is why he is here. If it’s just Horiuchi Kaneshiro and Sawada Shigeru, it doesn’t matter how much they are left out. The big deal is that the British French settle the accounts.

But the problem is that he is now standing here, and a group of Japanese businessmen and Wang Puppet officials are arranged beside the stands, surrounded by a circle of tall Sikh soldiers, making people look like a fool.

The weather in Shanghai in November has turned cooler, but Zetian Mao is still sweating, and the middleman finally figured out the taste at the moment. The foreigner Matsuoka's face was black like an iron plate. What made the lieutenant general big was that the cameraman sent by [Dongbao] apparently lacked a string in his mind. He even turned the camera and snapped at himself. The Great Japanese Empire was tricked by a monkey. This horse Can't you see the deer, you need to be ashamed, you know, ashamed, this **** must have been sent by the navy.

"Can't do this anymore, we have to go to the stage, sir." Hori Kangan's voice cried a little.

Several times he couldn’t help but want to jump out and file a protest against the shameless British, but like Matsuoka scruples, he feared that he would mess up the welcome ceremony. You have no problem with Britain and France, but don’t forget that the popular protagonist is the German envoy. It’s a pleasure to smash the British, and the German asks how to explain why.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Japanese, this treatment is currently extremely humiliating and negligent, but from the German’s point of view, such trivial matters are not worth talking about, even if you really feel humiliated, you will You can’t protest to the other party after the ceremony. Why jump out and disturb the ceremony? Are you dissatisfied with the Great German Empire? Isn’t it true that you have a magnificent view of the Marshal of the Army.

More importantly, at this moment, they should not only consider the reaction of the Germans, but also consider the pile of Wang Puppet officials around them. In any case, they must not lose their position in front of this group of people, and they must also make them feel Everything is under the control of the empire.

At this time, some Wang Puppet officials have started to talk and talk with each other, they also feel that the situation is a bit different from what they started to think, even if they are not enough, they are not eligible to stand on the desk, but the identity of the Japanese Foreign Minister should be enough, how can it be Stand in the corner together and drink the wind.

"Well, send someone to contact the German side immediately. Takahashi, you and the marshal's aide, Colonel Anderson, will give it to you by phone. Be sure to tell the marshal that I want to see him." Matsuoka whispered to the assistant To.

"Ha, I'll go right away." Takahashi nodded and squeezed towards the back of the team.

There was a row of Sikh strong men in front of the team. They seemed to not understand any human language. In spite of what the Japanese said to them, they would only nod coldly, but they kept blocking the Japanese and preventing them Close to the stage.

Matsuoka knew that if the Germans did not want to see him, then today’s face would be on the ground, and even if he used revenge on the British in retrospect, it would be meaningless.

At that time, if someone took advantage of the situation in the country to create an influence, it might even affect the political situation in the country. Not everyone likes the guardian Wen Wei. Japan never lacks ambitions, and I don’t know how many people are staring at that. seat. After the Japanese army overthrew the navy’s Mi**ge, they were fully pushed to power. At least the navy was very dissatisfied with this. In addition, the domestic economic situation has not improved, and many middle-level business owners and workers It is generally blamed.

At the moment, Matsuoka can only protest that the other party has neglected himself and demanded treatment in line with his identity, and then there is no other reason to be able to stand up, but in the eyes of everyone, in front of a group of puppets How can he say these words out, this is tantamount to exposing himself.

While Songgang was still thinking about it, there was a movement on the viewing platform, the loud military music suddenly sounded, and then a scene that made Matsuoka overjoyed appeared, and I saw a group of people striding toward their position. At the forefront is the distinguished marshal of the empire.

"Hurry up, wave the flag!" Horai Kaneshiro's eyes began to panic, and tears gradually gathered in his eyes. Things turned out to be such a dramatic turning point. It seems that the **** Tianzhao has not given up on himself.

Hear your consul general command. The traitors and Japanese merchants who were originally a little bit hurriedly waved the Japanese and German flags in their hands.

Ze Tianmao couldn't help but feel refreshed at this time. He had already begun to consider where he should go to work after retiring. It might not be so serious to change others, but the problem is that the current Lu Xiang is always selfless, and recommends him to serve This position is Lu Xiang himself, so in order to avoid suspicion, he will be particularly punished severely.

Matsuoka only needs to go back and make a small report. He can’t run a demotion, and is more likely to be kicked into the reserve by making a big fuss, so that other generals will appear in this fatal shortage.

"All generals! Stand upright!" Zetian adjusted the style of the neckline and issued a command.

In fact, he only brought a few staff members with him, and together there were only six Japanese officers. Several military officers hurriedly sorted out their military appearances, stood upright, and put on a determined look like a review.

Blumberg walked to the front of the Japanese team, sandwiched the Marshal's slightly stick under his arm, raised his hand to Matsuoka Yang, who stood in the middle of the front row, and saluted him.

"Salute!" Ze Tianmao brought a group of officials, and solemnly returned military salute.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and deserve it again (yusuke Matsuoka)." Blumberg held out his hand to Matsuoka.

"Yeah, it's been almost two or three months, Honorable Marshal." Matsuoka took Blumberg's hand with a look of emotion. When he met the German Marshal in front of him, the other party was the German Wehrmacht. Commander in chief.

"Time is passing fast, it looks like you haven't changed at all, and you deserve it again."

"You haven't changed at all, no, it should be said that it looks younger than it was then, Lord Marshal."

"Haha, you still compliment people like this." Blumberg let go of Song Gang's hand.

"I was just wondering why I didn't see you in front of me, but they told me you were here." Blumberger held his stick slightly and tapped his palm.

"This is a misunderstanding that should not have happened. Our staff made a serious mistake and used the expired no. It was a mistake in the guest list." Sir George said aside, then he reached out to Matsuoka .

"I’m very sorry, Your Excellency Minister, if I knew that you would be here today, I would definitely not allow this to happen. My men discovered it too late. If it wasn’t for the Marshal’s special mention, I’m afraid I don’t know what happened now. We have neglected such a question as a foreign secretary like you." George's face had a smirk that he could see through at a glance.

The problem is that Matsuoka can only pretend to be indifferent at this moment, otherwise it seems that he is too small.

"I have to say that this is really a regrettable little mistake." Matsuoka tried hard to smile and shook hands with George.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been lifted, then come with us and die. Our Phalanx of the German Armed Guards is approaching. I hope you will accompany me to review my army." Blumberger warmly invited To.

"Before that, I would like to introduce you to you." Matsuoka also wanted to introduce the group of people around Blumberg.

"You can introduce it to me slowly when you attend the reception later. Now it's too late." Blumberg interrupted Songgang and took the small Japanese foreign minister to the viewing platform.
