"Mr. Lahr, tonight the Germans are going to welcome the military delegation from China at the Berlin Grand Hotel. I heard that even Hitler's mustache is going to attend. This is an invitation from the German Foreign Ministry.
"Colonel Feller, the military attache of the U.S. Embassy in Germany, wearing an American Army uniform, handed a red invitation with gold edges to Ambassador Lahr of the U.S. Embassy in Germany.
Lal, who is forty-six years old this year, is wearing a loose khaki warm cotton suit and a pair of black-rimmed glasses as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle. He is leaning on the sofa, lazily taking the invitation and throwing it away.
On the coffee table in front of me.
Seeing that his boss seemed a little absent-minded, Colonel Feller said unwillingly: "Mr. Lar, those Germans are demonstrating against us this time. I heard that not only our American Embassy, but also the United Kingdom and Japan
, the embassies of Soviet Russia and Italy have all received invitations from the German Foreign Ministry, and these Germans are really shaking now."
"Huh," Lal said. The American ambassador to Germany with a distinct Texas accent said in his usual lazy tone: "The Germans are not demonstrating against us, but they are trying to cause trouble to the outside world.
This is an illusion, an illusion that Germany is about to form an alliance with China."
"Illusion" Feiler asked puzzledly: "The Chinese are now so good with the Germans that they have to wear a pair of trousers, and now they have sent a huge delegation including representatives of the army, navy and air force to Berlin. Is this also an illusion?
"
"Feiler, sometimes what people see with their eyes may not be real." Ambassador Lal raised his hand to touch his somewhat bald head, then raised his index finger and shook it gently, "You
You have to learn to see the essence through phenomena. Think about it, Hitler now has five million troops. What does he want to do with these five million troops? Isn't it a competition between the French border and the British across the English Channel to see who pees?
further?
No, now Hitler's next target must be Soviet Russia. This is something that even a fool can see, but are the Soviet Russians so easy to fight? Although the mustache is arrogant, he is not stupid. He understands the role of allies very well. He
I also very much hope that when Germany attacks the Soviet Union, there will be a friendly force that can stab the Russians in the back. Originally, Japan was also one of the candidates to consider, but since the Japanese were beaten by the Chinese and returned to their homeland in despair,
, in the minds of the Germans, China has become the best and only candidate, which is why today’s party came about.”
"But you can tell me what you said."
"I'm contradicting myself, aren't I?" Lal smiled. If the thick lenses hadn't blocked his eyes, Colonel Ferrer would have definitely seen the smile in his eyes.
"Feiler, my original mood was the same as yours. If it hadn't been for a telegram from Washington, I would have been as anxious as you and sent a telegram to the president. But Mr. President has long expected this situation.
Our country's ambassador to China, Mr. Johnson, has also communicated with the president of China a long time ago. His president clearly stated to us that China will not form a military alliance with Germany. Their eyes only stay on the vast land of Soviet Russia.
"The Chinese want revenge and land, while the Germans want resources and space. It's that simple." Ambassador Lal's tone was very leisurely, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Oh, so that's it." Colonel Ferrer breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of another question.
"The ones who are most anxious now should be the Soviets, right? How about we remind those poor Slavs at the appropriate time?" Colonel Ferrer's words clearly contained a tone of gloating.
"Humph, those stupid Slavs are not worth our efforts to remind them that their rule based on terror and intellectualism is the public enemy of our bright world. They are only worthy of being howled in the snow of Siberia.
It would be best if all the screaming savages died."
"Oh, let's do it for those poor Slavs," Colonel Ferrer said gloatingly.
Ambassador Lal and Colonel Feller always used a tone of contempt and disgust to describe the Soviet Russians when they mentioned them. In fact, it was not just Ambassador Lal, but the entire Western world since the establishment of the Soviet Russian regime.
They were looking at them with a bit of disgust and a hint of fear. They were always vigilant about the largest empire in the world that spanned the Eurasian continent. This vigilance even exceeded that of Hitler, a madman and lunatic.
A mixture. This has nothing to do with individuals, it is purely an innate vigilance in the system. Politicians in Europe and the United States are destined to be unable to compromise with the new Soviet Russia, a regime that is inherently hostile to the Western system.
In fact, not only Ambassador Lahr and Colonel Feller, but also the embassies of various countries in Berlin were excited for this grand banquet. At this time, whether they are willing or not, they must admit that China, which they once owned,
The countries they despised are now qualified to become members of the so-called civilized world like them. What is ridiculous is that admission to this civilized club must be obtained through fighting. This is not true for these Western countries that claim to be civilized people.
It's really a huge irony.
"We have gained the recognition of the so-called civilized countries and become one of the so-called powerful countries with the blood and sacrifice of countless sacrificed soldiers. Therefore, you must always keep in mind the honor and responsibility of our Chinese soldiers. Tonight's welcome banquet
Rather than saying it is a dust-cleaning banquet, it is better to say it is a performance, yes, it is a performance." Bai Chongxi said to all the officers in a conference room of the Berlin Grand Hotel.
"Almost all countries in the world now know that we have a very good relationship with the Germans. We not only sold them the world's first-class "Northwestern Tiger" tanks, but also sold them the B17 heavy bomber. In the Western world,
It seems that ours and the Germans are better off than wearing the same pants." Hearing this, all the officers burst into laughter.
"Sir Bai, we are wearing the same pants as them now."
Bai Chongxi also laughed and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Yes, now we are no different from wearing the same pants as them. But" Bai Chongxi said seriously again: "But you must understand that although we and the Germans
The relationship is not bad, but when everyone interacts with their officers, what should and should not be said is very clear in military regulations. If anyone dares to violate the regulations and say something that should not be said without authorization,
, our military police and military courts cannot spare him."
"Yes" The officers were all shocked. If they didn't know what to do after Bai Chongxi said it so solemnly, they would be in vain.
In fact, Bai Chongxi was also giving them a vaccination. The officers who followed him this time were all outstanding mid-level officers in the Chinese army, navy and air force. Although as mid-level officers they could not know too many military secrets, Bai Chongxi did.
The president has a very mysterious espionage network spread across Europe. If someone says something they shouldn't say in front of the Germans and they hear it, they will be greeted not with flowers but with boards when they return home.
The military policemen with sullen faces and cold handcuffs were removed, so Bai Chongxi now had to vaccinate these officers in advance.
Just as Bai Chongxi was vaccinating the officers for the evening banquet, the Germans were already busy. Hundreds of employees of the Berlin Grand Hotel were busy setting up the scene. The surroundings of the hotel were already filled with German SS soldiers.
An SS officer with the rank of major, wearing a handsome black military uniform with four silver squares on his collar and a silver twisted-edged second-class Sturmbannführer mark on his shoulder, was directing the soldiers to set up the cordon.
The guests tonight are all high-ranking figures from the embassies of various countries in Germany. If something happened to him, a little major like him wouldn't have enough heads to cut off.
"Slar, hurry up. Why haven't I seen you set up the roadblock until now? If I don't see the roadblock in front of you in ten minutes, you will be dead."
"Morgan, have the searchlights upstairs been installed? Please hurry up."
Amidst the flurry of excitement, the Germans were making final preparations for tonight's party. Roadblocks, identification marks and temporary parking spots were all marked out by the Germans. At this moment
, the high efficiency of the Germans has been well reflected.
The sky gradually darkened, and more and more German officials came to the Berlin Grand Hotel. They were wearing straight formal clothes, with the unique old-fashioned German smiles on their faces, and all of them had hangings on their chests and collars.
He wore his own medal or ribbon and exchanged greetings with the Chinese officers who came to the hall earlier.
The Chinese officers also wore crisply ironed uniforms. The officers with medals hung all the medals they had received on the left chest of their clothes. As for those officers who had not received medals, they could only grit their teeth secretly. Next time
Be sure to get one to hang on your chest.
Xiao Feipeng also wore a sky-blue Air Force uniform, with a golden tassel hanging on his right chest. Unlike most of the officers around him, he had a black third-class Black Tiger Medal and a glittering silver medal hanging on his left chest at the same time.
Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves.
In the living room, all the German officers in the living room looked at him with respect after seeing the Knight's Cross of Iron Cross with Silver Oak Leaves on his chest.
Xiao Feipeng's little vanity was greatly satisfied.
