Chapter 815: Washington Political Conspiracy (End, 4,000 Votes and More)

"You are a patriot, so is your son, and I am also a patriot. Although we love different countries, based on the common position of patriots, I will not let you betray national interests, or even let you betray some intelligence. "I have no idea." Hoffman explained, "The diplomatic conditions and our requirements you brought back are definitely not something you can decide. Without the approval of the president and the deliberation of members of Congress, how can a formal agreement be reached? In other words, you are just a diplomat and have no right to change any content, not even a word or a punctuation."

Joseph laughed self-deprecatingly: "That's right, I'm just a sounding board."

"So my requirements are not high. I just need you to be a good mouthpiece. Be true, complete and comprehensive, and convey our voice back without any personal emotions or positions, so that the American people and leaders will not misjudge Germany." "I have already said that Germany does not want to go to war with the United States, and you do not want to aid the United Kingdom. But you don't listen and insist on aid. You always think that our navy is not strong enough." The lack of industrial capabilities forced me to become an ally with the Japanese. This was a misjudgment caused by your wishful thinking. How many people died in the United States because of this misjudgment? "

Joseph nodded subconsciously, and then retorted: "Then why do you continue to maintain close relations with Japan after the armistice between Germany and the United States? There is no irreconcilable hatred between Germany and the United States, but Japan's undeclared attack on Pearl Harbor is absolutely unforgivable. , so Japan must be taught a lesson. If Germany refuses to give up on Japan, it will be difficult to achieve peace between virtue and virtue."

"I would be stupid to give up on Japan. Could it be that Germany lets Japan, its ally, be beaten by you, and then waits for the United States to overthrow Japan and achieve a great alliance between China, the United States, and the Soviet Union before coming over to kill them?"

"No, no, the American people don't like war."

"The American people don't like war? Then why do they send ships and arms to the British and the Russians to fight us? Just say that you love peace and deceive ordinary people. You and I are so familiar with each other, how can you use such words to prevaricate me? ?”

"This..." Joseph smiled awkwardly, "President Roosevelt will make a public commitment."

"You don't understand what I mean... I can have the final say in Germany, but Roosevelt can't completely have the final say in the United States. To say the least, what if he can have the final say? How many years can his body last? The next U.S. president can completely turn his back on the situation. In Germany, as long as our political system does not change, my chosen successor and I will not make any major changes to the established framework. This is our credibility advantage," said Hof. Mann joked half-seriously, "With Roosevelt's body, I think it will be difficult to complete this presidential term. And I can continue to lead Germany for 20 years. Whose words have more credibility and influence?"

Joseph was shocked when he heard Hoffman mention Roosevelt's physical condition repeatedly. Roosevelt's physical condition was kept strictly confidential. It was only when he received the mission before leaving this time that he vaguely learned that the president's health was not ideal. From the German side, How do you know everything? He immediately thought of the spy incident that had caused so much trouble to the British side. Could it be that this spy was now living in the United States?

He suppressed his suspicious expression and continued: "Let's not talk about Japan in advance. Argentina and South America's conditions for dealing with you are a bit too excessive. After all, South America has always been an important place of interests for the United States."

Hoffman did not explain directly, but just sighed: "The United States is so powerful, I am very worried. Germany's future will be very difficult..."

"Since the United States is so powerful, it is really not in line with the principle of diplomatic reciprocity for you to impose such harsh conditions, and it is difficult for our government to explain to the people."

"It is because the United States is strong that I agreed to give the United States such conditions. You see..." Hoffman laughed, "I told Churchill to go to Canada. I don't care whether you annex Canada; I agreed to let the United States control Australia and New Zealand. , I don’t care whether you annex it or not; I promise to let you control Mexico, the Caribbean, and Brazil. You share the Pacific Ocean with Japan and the Atlantic Ocean with us. Germany has been fighting for five years and has sacrificed hundreds of lives. The precious German boy has won the current war at a huge cost and with countless victories. The United States, on the other hand, has built a lot of munitions but has not won many battles. It is expected that such a poor war performance can still get so much in the end. As a result, why do I feel like I have made a wedding dress for America?”

Joseph rolled his eyes but was speechless. The United States fought this war so cowardly that he almost killed his two sons in one go. Now that he thinks about it, he is still scared.

"If your country does not give up aid to Japan, it is impossible for our country to give up aid to Britain, so..."

"Aid to help the British?" Hoffman laughed heartily, "If you don't care about the lives of the American boys, then come quickly."

"What do you mean?"

Without saying anything, Hoffman pressed the button and called Chief Deputy Dargos.

"Tomorrow, arrange for a reliable person to accompany Mr. Joseph to the Mediterranean. You can go and see Rommel's troops. Just say it is what I want. Don't hide it..."

"The Führer!" Dargos exclaimed, "He is the American special envoy!"

"It's nothing. He is also my friend. Take him to see him. It's no big deal."

"yes."

"What's in the Mediterranean? Rommel? I've heard of this name! I remember, he's your country's field marshal!"

"Nothing, there are elite troops there who are frantically practicing amphibious landing tactics. They are currently conducting field adaptive training on the island of Crete. Rommel is their commander. He is not only our army's leading armored warfare expert, but also the Third Reich's number one amphibious landing commander. The British are very familiar with this name." Hoffman said casually, "It's only January now, and the English Channel is still a little cold. It will be better if the weather is warmer..."

Joseph opened his mouth as wide as an "O" shape, and couldn't speak for a long time. If the situation is true, it seems that the Germans will soon attack Great Britain!

On January 21, Eva successfully gave birth to a baby boy. Hoffman named him "Kohler", which was also the name of his first child before he crossed over. Hearing that the Führer had a successor, the whole of Germany was in an uproar. Everyone was spontaneously happy for the Führer. Poets wrote passionate congratulatory poems, believing that this new life was a symbol of Germany's future. Telegrams of congratulations from politicians from various countries flew in like snowflakes, and waves of diplomatic envoys sent gifts to the "little Führer" who was still in his infancy. Everyone is not blind. The Führer can still rule the Third Reich for at least 20 years at his age and physical condition. If it can be extended to 30 years, the little Führer may be able to take over smoothly.

The top leaders of the National Socialist Party also rushed to the Eagle's Nest. Although the four giants had their own thoughts, their congratulations and blessings were very sincere. Even the Pope sent a telegram, congratulating and expressing his willingness to baptize the little guy himself.

The next day, Hoffman issued a public statement, choosing Leon Degrelle, leader of the Belgian Rex Party, as Kohler's godfather, and explained the reason - I once said: "If I have a son, I hope he can be like Leon!" Now I have a son, asking Leon to be the godfather is appropriate, and it is also a symbol of the spirit of European solidarity!

This decision achieved several results with one stone: on the one hand, not choosing any bigwig in the National Socialist Party as godfather avoided the embarrassment of publicly selecting successors and second-in-command, and also prevented the relationship between the four giants from breaking through the existing framework; on the other hand, Leon is Belgian, and choosing him as godfather can further unite Belgians and further enhance the cohesion of the European alliance - at least after the Belgians knew the news, they regarded Leon as the future political leader of Belgium; finally, the public selection of godfather further weakened the National Socialist Party's suppression of church power, which was conducive to uniting more people - how could a Third Reich that suppressed and opposed the church be able to call the shots in Europe and gain popularity?

The church soon noticed the changes in Germany's religious policy in the past one or two years, and naturally reciprocated.

However, what was hotly discussed in the streets of Washington at this moment was not the birth of the little head of state, but another piece of news, which was said to have been first spread by the government.

"Patrick, I heard that you have made a major discovery that is unknown to the public? Has China discovered another large oil field?" A group of friends laughed and mercilessly exposed Patrick's shortcomings. This poor guy received news from China a few months ago, and he shouted that China had discovered a large oil field. In fact, the telegram clearly stated that "the Chinese authorities have discovered a crude oil well that can be used for industrial use in Gansu Province. The daily oil output is about 2,460 kilograms, and the annual oil output is expected to be about 900,000 kilograms. The rest of the exploration is underway. We believe that there are larger oil wells around that can be mined..." Since the United States generally only uses "pounds" and "tons" as two units of measurement, Patrick carelessly regarded kilograms as tons, and thought that China had an oil field with an annual output of 900,000 tons (in fact, it was the Yumen Oilfield with only 900 tons). After finding out that it was a complete joke, the nickname "Mr. Large Oil Field" spread.

"No! It's not news about China!" Patrick raised his head proudly, "It's news from the United States."

"What is it?"

"The top leaders held secret diplomatic talks with Germany. The Germans put forward harsh peace conditions. Vice President Wallace, who is currently acting as the president, is ready to accept..."

Everyone who heard it was shocked beyond words. This news set off three political bombs in one go: first, President Roosevelt was ill and Vice President Wallace was in charge; second, the United States and Germany were secretly making peace; third, Germany's peace conditions were very harsh but the vice president was still ready to accept them...

"Oh my God!"
