In the splendidly decorated small restaurant, Wang Ting'en and Hitler were sitting opposite each other. There was soft music playing on the radio next to them, which made people relax and whet their appetites.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency the Head of State, on behalf of our country's government and Mr. President, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to you and your army for their brilliant victory in Europe."
Wang Ting'en raised the wine glass in front of him. The rim of the gorgeous crystal glass was inlaid with pure gold lace. The body of the glass, as pure as ice crystals, was engraved with the family emblem of the previous owner, showing off its extraordinary life experience. The elegant and luxurious appearance has already
It can be called a work of art, and the special value given to it by history makes people forget the significance of its birth as a drinking vessel.
If it falls into the hands of an antique collector, it will be carefully placed in a beautiful glass cabinet, perhaps with soft and expensive silk cushions underneath. Its owner will definitely display it in the most conspicuous place.
Let people admire it, and it will definitely receive heartfelt admiration and praise from countless people, bringing endless satisfaction and honor to its owner, as well as countless jealous eyes. But here, it can only be regarded as an ordinary
cup, that's all, because this is the German Chancellery.
Hitler, who was sitting in front of Wang Ting'en, also raised his cup gracefully. Thanks to a timely suggestion from a distant country, 160,000 more British and French forces entered the prisoner-of-war camp built by Germany. There could have been three more in history.
The 138,000 coalition forces that withdrew to Britain only returned less than 170,000 in the end. This greatly increased Hitler's favorability towards the Chinese ambassador in front of him. Today's dinner was Hitler's way of expressing his gratitude to Wang Ting'en and the Chinese government.
a way.
"You seem to be very interested in this set of tableware, my Ambassador."
Noticing Wang Ting'en's drunken look, Hitler put down the knife in his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him.
"Oh, yes, Your Majesty the Head of State, this set of French tableware is very beautiful. Its long history alone can make people intoxicated." Wang Ting'en quickly picked up the wine glass and said softly: "For this beautiful set of tableware, also for
Cheers to your victory”
Wang Ting'en took a sip of red wine and felt the special enjoyment brought by the fragrant and mellow wine. As a knowledgeable diplomat, Wang Ting'en could see the origin of this set at a glance, and the family emblem on it was clear
It showed that this was a palace item of the French royal family, and it should be the personal item of Louis XIV, the Sun King. This really made Wang Ting'en, who loved antiques, a little bit unable to put it down. He felt that the Chinese ambassador in front of him was a little absent-minded. Hitler, who thought he understood the other party's thoughts, smiled and said
: "Dear Mr. Ambassador, you can rest assured that we Germans will never treat our friends badly, and we will strictly abide by our commitments. Now that Paris has been declared an undefended city, the great German team will start soon
Enter Paris and hold a grand entrance ceremony under the Arc de Triomphe. At that time, my promises will be fulfilled one by one, and the cultural relics of your country will return to the arms of their original owners."
"Thank you very much, distinguished Mr. Head of State. On behalf of our Chinese government and our 450 million compatriots, I would like to thank you again for your generosity." Wang Ting'en, who has always been calm, couldn't help but feel a little out of control. There were countless precious treasures in the Louvre.
If I can return to the embrace of the motherland through his hands, history will mark myself and this glorious deed. For a literati, what is more exciting than leaving a name in history?
Of.
At this time, a burst of noise and rustling sounds suddenly came from the radio next to him. Before Hitler could frown, a deep man's voice came from the radio. Although this man spoke English
, but the erudite Wang Ting'en and Hitler, who wandered in Europe in his early years, can still roughly understand it.
"We must be extremely careful not to cast this retreat as a victory. Wars are not won by retreating. The Germans desperately tried to sink thousands of ships full of fighters on the sea, but they were repulsed and they were beaten.
When defeated, we withdrew the expeditionary force and we will fight to the end. We will fight in France, we will fight on the sea and in the ocean, we will fight in the air with ever greater confidence and ever greater power; we will fight in the air with ever greater confidence and greater strength;
Our island will be defended at any cost. We will fight on the beaches; we will fight where the enemy has landed; we will fight in the fields and in the streets; we will fight in the mountains; and we will never surrender."
The adjutant on the side was a little unable to react when the broadcast first started. After realizing that the broadcast had been broadcast for a while, he hurriedly stepped forward and turned off the radio.
The voice from the radio affected Hitler's appetite. He put down his knife and fork, picked up a white napkin and wiped his mouth, "Mr. Ambassador, you heard it too, although the British were forced to go back to the British Isles.
, but they have not lost their fighting spirit. Churchill is still calling on the British to fight us on the beaches, in the air, and in the fields. Our German Empire still has a long way to go, so we need the help of our friends."
Wang Ting'en's heart felt bright, it seemed that it was time to extort money again.
At this time, Hitler felt a little aggrieved and a little angry, but whether he wanted to or not, he had to admit that China's manufacturing level in some aspects had surpassed Germany's, such as the Siberian Tiger tank, although it had
It was renamed the Panther tank by Hitler, but everyone from the German Wehrmacht to the generals, marshals, and soldiers knew that it was invented by the Chinese, and its capabilities were fully demonstrated in battles in Poland and France.
It has countless advantages such as simplicity, reliability, durability, sturdiness, and great power. Compared with the complex and expensive Panzer IV tanks designed by the Germans, it is much better. Not only that.
, the Stuka bombers that China stole from Germany, and the me109 fighter jets that Germany authorized to produce for China were modified by the Chinese and their performance was greatly improved. This made Hitler, who claimed to have the best scientists in the world,
It's so embarrassing. But today, Hitler wanted to show off his old face again and made a request to Wang Ting'en that he considered very embarrassing.
"Mr. Ambassador, I heard that your country has secretly developed a weapon that can detect aircraft in the air, and has put it into practical combat experience. The name of this weapon is radar, is that right?" Hitler picked up his wine glass.
To cover up the strangeness in my heart.
"Yes, Mr. Yuan, we have developed a method that can use radio waves for detection. Our troops call them clairvoyance and shunfeng ears." Both Su Tong and Wang Ting'en knew that weapons like radar would be exposed sooner or later.
Instead of hiding, it's better to admit it readily.
"Germany is in great need of this technology right now. Can you report to your political ax and sell the technology and physical objects of this radar to our empire?" Now that he had said it, Hitler was no longer secretive.
Seeing Wang Ting'en's somewhat embarrassed look, Hitler smiled again and said: "Of course, we can't let our friends suffer if we take their things. The price is easy to negotiate, and I heard that the President of your country likes antiques. I can
Order the imperial troops to hand over all the cultural relics in the Louvre to your country after occupying Paris. Do you think this is okay?"
Wang Ting'en felt as if someone had hit him on the chest with a giant hammer. The huge joy made him almost breathless. Fortunately, the basic diplomatic etiquette of a diplomat had penetrated into his bones. He forced
He held on to his body and said in a reserved tone: "Mr. Yuan, I have to ask our political ax for instructions before I can answer you. Can I borrow your remote radio now?"
"Of course, dear Mr. Ambassador, my adjutant will take you there." Hitler nodded.
Looking at Wang Ting'en walking out of the door, Hitler's smile immediately faded. He felt that he hated himself a little. He was bargaining with people like a vendor in the vegetable market. This was incompatible with his always proud ideals.
It's the opposite, but the little shoes coming from China and the intelligence department also show that now the British have mastered this technology, and in response the Germans must also master it, and now there are no countries that can provide this technology to the Germans.
There is only China.
Fortunately, Wang Ting'en didn't go there for long, and after less than half an hour, Wang Ting'en brought the answer: "Mr. President, I am honored to inform you on behalf of my government that your request, Mr. President, is in principle
It has been agreed that the radar you need will be shipped to the French port along with the warship we sent to transport the Louvre cultural relics. In return, we will only price this set of radar 10 million German marks. Do you think this is okay?"
Hitler smiled and raised his glass again: "Of course, let's drink to the friendship between our two countries."
The glass is a high-quality product, and the wine is not much different, a real Bordeaux red wine, produced by Chateau Lafite in 1867, the best of the best.
The two wine glasses made a crisp sound after they collided slightly.
Both parties thought they had made a good deal, and Hitler began to feel happy again. In his opinion, it was a good thing to exchange those French things that could not be eaten or drank for the radar that the empire urgently needed.
From the perspective of China, it is a great deal to be able to bring back the cultural relics and antiques stolen by the French, and to move all the treasures of the Louvre back to China.
Wang Ting'en's excitement just now cannot calm down, so much so that the hand holding the exquisite wine glass is trembling slightly.
