Facing the stunned ministers, Xiang Xiaoqiang said peacefully:

"Everyone, when I visited Germany three years ago, I had a close conversation with German Chancellor Hitler. - It's not a secret conversation, because we were not formally talking, but were chatting in private. At that time, there were no others except for the translator, and we were chatting about their long-term goals. After saying that, we all laughed. It can be seen that he was laughing at me and I was laughing at him, because what we said seemed so unrealistic to the other party.

"At that time, Hitler said that he was eager to conquer Europe, especially to expand eastward, to destroy the Slavs, to destroy the Bolsheviks, and to seek survival space for the German nation. I asked him with a smile, how much did he plan to occupy the Soviet Union? Hitler said seriously that he planned to conquer the Ural Mountains. You all know what Germany was like in the early 36 years. In the eyes of the world, Germany at that time was almost the weakest country in Europe. Not to mention France, even Czechoslovakia could destroy it with just a raising hand.

"That's right, it's just the prime minister of such a weak country who talks about conquering Europe, eliminating the Bolsheviks, and conquering Russia... Everyone, think about it, how could I not laugh at that time? If anyone of you is present, I would laugh out loud. But how is it today? One of the two powerful countries in Britain and France was scared of "chondropathy" by it, and the other was scared of "war phobia". The European power that once looked down upon it, now crawled at its feet and shivered at its feet. Britain and France said, "If you don't cooperate with Germany, we won't protect you." The Czech Republic had to hand over the Sudeten District, and didn't even dare to say "no".

"But Hitler is not as good as me. Because I also mentioned an ambition at that time, that is, to attack the Qing Dynasty in the Northern and Unify China. Hitler couldn't help laughing at that time... Haha, you didn't see it. Yes, what was the situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time? He just barely resisted the southern invasion of the Northern and Qing Dynasties, and he saved his life and was surviving... Yes, although it was very unpleasant, he was surviving at that time. Not to mention Hitler, even if Napoleon was present, he would have laughed out loud. But now, you have seen it.

"So I know that what Hitler said back then was not something that could be said. That person could go from a Vienna homeless man to a dictator of Germany and Austria today, and it was definitely not a person who could be said to everything. This person was very stubborn, or paranoid, or mentally abnormal. But this kind of person with "mental abnormality" could do what those people with "mental normality" could not do. He was not an ordinary politician, but an ambitious man who had been difficult for many years in Europe.

"Ordinary politicians are only satisfied with their personal success and fame. But this ambitious man has an ideal in his heart. No matter whether this ideal is right or wrong, he regards it more than his own life, and does everything he can to achieve it, even if he sacrifices the lives of thousands of people. Chamberlain and Daraday are all ordinary politicians. In front of Hitler, they lack courage, lack courage, short-sightedness, and incompetence. Although their country is now stronger than Germany, in the face of Hitler's step-by-step progress, they will only give in step, and the weak have no ability to resist at all.

"Don't worry, the Sudetenland area is definitely not Hitler's last territorial demand. I am here to say that soon, Hitler will annex the entire Czechoslovakia, and plan to expand eastwardly, and eventually bump into the Soviet Union. What we have to do is to exert our influence from Britain and France, and try to give the green light for Germany's eastward expansion until the German army enters the Soviet Union.

"Everyone, if we dragged the Soviet Union in Central Asia, then how attractive the Soviet Union was to Hitler at this time! As long as we could overcome the two obstacles of Czechoslovakia and Poland and attacked the two countries, it would become a very realistic thing to destroy the Soviet Union. The large new territory we obtained in Northeast Asia and Central Asia will be consolidated, and a huge and good buffer of free Russia will be located in the middle of the Eurasian continent, separating us from Germany. At that time, the great cause of the war in the 20th century of our Ming Empire was basically completed. What is left is to develop the economy, digest the new territory, and strive to replace the United States in this century and become the strongest and richest country in the world.

"Everyone, the above is my opinion... Do you think it's funny? Haha, think of Hitler back then, he also thought that the Ming Dynasty unified China was a funny thing."

...

After Xiang Xiaoqiang's speech, the venue was silent and all the ministers were watching him. Soon, they began to whisper slowly and whisper. After a while, the venue became lively. Many people were talking enthusiastically, and many people were still arguing. However, most people seemed more excited, and only a few people seemed disdainful.

Xiang Xiaoqiang understood that his words had worked and it was heard in the hearts of most people. He leaned back, lay in the comfortable backrest of the throne, picked up the teacup, and drank slowly.

Next, a new debate among the ministers began. Xiang Xiaoqiang's new view made the imperial meeting live. The previous atmosphere of "The German Chancellor has made a guarantee that Mingde has been unrealistic to attack the Soviet Union" was swept away, and everyone was eagerly discussing how the Ming Dynasty could push the waves and maximize its own interests.

Finally, the meeting discussed and decided that the Ming Dynasty's established goal is to strive to achieve "stricken disasters and diverts eastwards". Through a series of diplomatic mediation, Britain and France will further appease Germany and persuade Britain and France to further tolerate Germany. The advantage is to use Germany to eliminate the Bolsheviks, which will at least allow Nazism and Bolsheviks to fight for both losses in Eastern Europe, and our democratic countries will reap profits.

Shen Rongxuan believes that if this series of plans are successfully achieved, then the Ming Dynasty's goal must be adjusted, and it cannot be the highest goal of "destroying the Soviet Union". Germany and the Soviet Union should be both defeated. Then, after the German army attacked the Soviet Union, the Ming Dynasty should appropriately reduce the pressure on the Soviet army, so that the German army could bear more pressure, and let them fall into a deep mud. Because if the main force of the Soviet army was dragged by the Ming Dynasty to Central Asia, then the German army would easily completely eliminate the Soviet Union. At that time, the situation in Europe, West Asia and the Middle East would be the dominant situation. Not only Britain, France and other countries were threatened, but even our allies, buffer countries, free Russia, would be under great threat. For the Ming Dynasty, a diversified Europe is in the best interests. A Europe covered by Hitler was not what we hoped to see. In that case, the Ming Dynasty's interests in Europe would be gone, and the interests in Central Asia would not be stable for long.
