Three Hundred and Ninety-Nine Chinese Guests

Akado was quietly playing with a blue and white porcelain vase from far away China. This was a gift from China's Generalissimo Chiang. The echoing German and Chinese on it make this bottle look a little nondescript, but it is the handwriting of a very valuable calligrapher in later generations.

Old General Sickert's reputation in Nanjing is no worse than Accardo's reputation in Berlin. The reason is that this old general has brought about earth-shaking changes to China's national defense. These changes are not those fancy codes and obscure It's a difficult theory, but something that actually makes the Chinese people stronger.

It is an arms industrial base with more than 20 supporting production lines established in Wuhan, Chongqing and other regions. It was personally setting up the trench bunkers, demonstrating how each machine gun position hides the precise data of how to cross fire. That is to describe the appearance of the First World War in his mind to the Chinese *, and rely on his own efforts to build the Chinese * into the new Eastern Army.

This old man with his eyes closed, the Chinese have to love and love him like a close relative. With this close relative and Akado, when he developed the German Wehrmacht, he intentionally or unintentionally subsidized and supplied arms and production facilities to China. After China was captured by the Japanese in Shanghai and captured Nanjing, it naturally thought of this "friend in Europe".

So the special envoy of the Republic of China, carrying Chairman Jiang's handwritten letter, stood in front of the German head of state, Arkador Rudolph, in such a cramped manner. Not only giving national gifts but also talking about favors, it is natural to ask for others.

After the special envoy finished talking about the long-standing revolutionary friendship between the two countries, he praised the great achievements of the old General Sickert, and now he had to talk about the future prospects of China and Germany-Acado was not interested in dealing with such meaningless things The officialdom was polite, so he interrupted the Chinese envoy's eloquence, and said, "You didn't come here to sing praises, and I heard that you didn't come here to admire vanity. Everyone has limited time, let's talk about business!"

So the diplomatic conference, which could have lasted two hours or more, was left with three dry words—begging for support. The Chinese Air Force took a fancy to the German me-fighter, and went bankrupt hoping to buy another 50 of these fighters. China's army has a bigger appetite, and has taken a fancy to Germany's anti-tank rocket launchers and sniper rifles, but the navy doesn't want anything—because almost the entire army has been wiped out.

"Fighters are not a problem, I can even sell 70 of them to you." Akado smiled and nodded in agreement with the request of the Chinese special envoy: "But you are not talking to me, but to Romania, they have ready-made fighter jets, and there are Production capacity, just negotiate this deal with them—I will give you a letter, and the 'chief' you hand it to them, he will give you a fair price."

me- is now a genuine world fighter jet, used by China, Japan, Romania, Italy, France and even the UK. Almost half of the countries in the world that can afford fighter jets are me- users.

"As for the Tekken bazooka and the sniper rifle,

We really can't provide it. "Akado said regretfully: "But you don't have to worry, I can introduce you to two alternative weapons, at least you can buy them from other friends. "

He smiled and walked to the huge globe in the office, fiddled with it lightly to make the globe rotate, then pressed one hand on the territory of the Soviet Union, and said: "Buy their technology, large-caliber anti-tank Although the gun is not as powerful as the iron fist, it is more than enough to deal with the tin cans of the Japanese."

"Thank you, Head of State, for your generosity." The Chinese special envoy was of course very satisfied with the response of German Head of State Akado, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

No wonder he was so restless. After 1840, China's diplomatic path was a long scroll full of humiliation and bitter humiliation. Every diplomat representing China could only smuggle in the cracks. There are even few who do not end up in ruins.

However, since the head of state of Germany officially came to the fore in 1925, it seems that China's diplomatic environment has improved by more than a little bit. Anything that could not be done before can find a breakthrough in German diplomacy. Complementarity and alliance have actually realized the dream of a strong country to a certain extent, which gave all diplomats the confidence to stand upright—of course, they became more grateful to Germany.

"But Mr. Special Envoy, I don't know if I should say something here." Akado said suddenly, and said in a negotiating tone: "As the German head of state, I am an outsider in this matter, so I don't want to say it casually." What do you mean, so I'm just making a good suggestion instead of recording this conversation in a diplomatic memorandum, do you understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three secretaries in charge of recording the diplomatic memorandum all stood up to attention, and retreated after paying a German salute, which made the Chinese special envoy marvel at the power and majesty of the German head of state in Germany.

Thinking of this, the Chinese special envoy would certainly not disobey his benefactor, and immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Yuan, please feel free to ask if you have any suggestions. I will definitely pass your words on to Chairman Jiang."

Akado thought for a while, and then said: "Your country must have suffered a big loss on the Nanjing defense line, and the ammunition and weapons in reserve have also lost a lot. Rather than deceiving yourself and others, it is better to say that the current situation is not good. It's extremely bad. Don't rush to deny it. You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me... Although our technicians helped you find a few small iron mines in some areas, what kind of materials do you have in reserve? I know about as much about the war as your Generalissimo."

Having said that, Akado patted the Chinese special envoy with an embarrassed face, and continued: "So I can tell Mr. Chairman very responsibly that it is very unrealistic to rely on China and Japan to fight alone. Once Japan is completely consumed If he died on Chinese soil, then Japan will compromise with the United States, and in the end the two sides will reach an agreement, then China’s three eastern provinces and even North China will never be taken back..."

He is not alarmist. Once Japan realizes that it cannot occupy China in an all-round way, it will retreat to the next best thing, compromise with the United States, and digest the occupied areas in the Northeast. At that time, China will not be able to counterattack-the final result will easily lead to a deadlock in which the three northeastern provinces are forced to recognize the independence. Of course, this is not the situation that China wants to see, or it is a situation that even Akado is unwilling to see.

The fundamental purpose of Germany's assistance to China is actually to delay the time for a frontal conflict between Japan and the United States, and to create the best time for Germany's strategic deployment in Europe. However, the degree of aid to China has been a bit of a failure. Now it seems that it has given a little too much, which makes Japan, who was originally swollen and fat, a bit too much.

In case Japan completely gave up the idea of ​​fighting against the United States, then Akado would shoot himself in the foot. The terrible war potential of the United States will be completely suppressed by Germany in the future. Akado knows the consequences of the Pacific War casually, so he is not willing to try it easily.

Now he has to condescend to discuss the future world situation with China, which is not a world power in the Far East: "It is easy to rely on China's own strength to fight against Japan. Influence. So you should pull the United States into the water and find a way to let Japan challenge the United States."

"Mr. Yuan, I know what you said is very reasonable, but it takes a lot of courage to do so, and there are many unforeseen follow-up crises..." The Chinese special envoy is obviously not a fool, or the Chinese side has already considered Aka. There are many unexplained plans.

This plan is to give up part of the territory, expand the crisis caused by Japan in China, make the interests of the United States in Asia or in the Far East and Southeast Asia an obstacle to Japan's continued expansion, and induce Japan to go to Southeast Asia to fight the United States. It's just that there are risks in doing so. If Japan and the United States are not fooled, it means that China has given up a large area of ​​​​territory in vain-this is definitely not a good thing.

"They must make mistakes! If they don't make mistakes, Germany will be completely defeated, and at least half of China's territory will become Japan's pocket!" Akado looked at the sky outside the window and said: "We have to take a gamble , use your life, your soul, your everything...to fight for the future of your most beloved nation."

He turned around and said in a slightly blunt but fluent Chinese: "Please believe me, there is no malice towards the ancient Chinese nation."

The Chinese special envoy, who is quite good at German, was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly looked at the tall German head of state in front of him, his eyes full of curiosity. After a long while, he opened his mouth slowly and replied in Chinese: "Please rest assured, the head of state, I will definitely tell the chairman of the committee exactly what the head of state said."

Then he asked again in German: "Mr. Yuan, can I ask you a presumptuous question? Why is Japan and Germany allies, but Germany is so helpful to the weak China against Japan's aggression?"

Akado smiled brightly: "Mr. Special Envoy, from the current point of view, Japan and Germany are allies. But in the long run, Germany is more willing to be an ally with a powerful China. I have now planted a Seed of kindness, and in a few years it will blossom into beautiful, gorgeous flowers—fruits that can change the world!"

"It seems that you have seen a future that many Chinese people can't believe... Will we be strong enough to influence the world?" The eyes of the Chinese special envoy were full of longing.

"As long as you don't give up, you can wait for the answer if you move forward like Germany." Akado replied with a smile.
