"Hello, dear Mr. President, first of all, please allow me to extend my sincere greetings to you on behalf of the head of our country." Ribbentrop first said hello to Su Tong who came in, stroking his chest.
"Mr. Ribbentrop, please take a seat." Su Tong nodded lightly, walked to the side and sat down next to the soft leather sofa.
Only then did Ribbentrop have the opportunity to look at the President of the Republic of China in detail in front of him. He was young and had a delicate face, which seemed ordinary to Westerners and could even be called a short stature and a stern look in his eyes.
A trace of perseverance. He is that controversial figure in the West. He is called a militant from the East by some Western media, and a despicable liar by some. Others call him the liberator of the East.
, but no matter who he is or what he calls him, he has to admit the fact that the president in front of him, who has just passed his thirtieth birthday and may be the youngest president in the world, saved an aging country. He made an ancient country
The empire regained its vitality and transformed into a giant that attracted the attention of the whole world.
While Ribbentrop was looking at Su Tong, Su Tong was also looking at the German Foreign Minister who Hitler called "Bismarck II" and even praised him as "a greater foreign minister than Bismarck." But Su Tong also understood
This smiling man also had this other evaluation in Germany. He was not well evaluated within Nazi Germany. Imperial Air Marshal Göring even publicly called Ribbentrop a "dirty champagne seller."
Even Propaganda Minister Goebbels said unkindly: "His name was bought with money, his money was obtained through marriage, and his official position was obtained through fraud." However, all of this does not hinder this
The German Foreign Minister, who was a businessman, dominated the diplomatic direction of the German Empire.
"Dear Mr. President, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and meet me. I came here under the order of the head of our country, and also came to your country with sincere wishes. Your Excellency, the head of state of our country believes that there is
It is necessary to solemnly discuss with you and the government you lead an important issue in foreign policy, which is our relationship with Russia. The foreign policy of a country has the task of promoting the reproduction of its nation and the size of its land.
There can be a natural and appropriate proportion to ensure the survival of the race. Only the sufficient space on the earth can guarantee the survival and freedom of a nation. Only by this method can the German nation guarantee its position in the world.
position among powerful nations."
Hearing this, a sneer appeared on Su Tong's face. Is the German Foreign Minister now complaining about the small space in his country? It's time to reveal his purpose next.
Sure enough, the German Foreign Minister then said: "Germany is not a powerful country now. From a territorial point of view, Germany's territory is really small compared with those of the world's great powers. We don't need to use the United Kingdom as an example, because
The United Kingdom is actually only a large city in the British World Empire, but the territory under the jurisdiction of the British World Empire accounts for almost a quarter of the earth. We must look at other major countries, such as the United States, Russia and China. These few
The territory of each country is ten times that of Germany. The disproportion between our country's population and territory is extremely serious. Territory is the source of wealth and the basis of political power. Our country's past history and current weakness and hopelessness
This situation should be eliminated or adjusted through the national socialist movement.”
Listening to the translator beside him translating Ribbentrop's eloquent words, Su Tong gently raised his hand to interrupt his long speech: "Mr. Ribbentrop, I think these long speeches of yours can wait until
We will have time to discuss it later, and now we will focus on the issue. If I guess correctly, the purpose of your visit to China this time is to coordinate the division of spheres of influence between your country and ours in Soviet Russia."
"Yes, your wisdom can light up the entire night sky." Ribbentrop flattered him a little.
"I heard one thing from what you just said, that is, your country has made its own territorial claim, is that right?"
"Yes, dear President, our government hopes that we can negotiate a territorial scope acceptable to both parties. Of course, this scope only refers to the current land of Soviet Russia and will not cause any loss to China's inherent territory.
.Here, our country hopes that the Chinese government can order your country’s army to appropriately stop its advance.”
"Oh, I don't know when the Chinese army will obey the command of the German government." A trace of anger flashed in Su Tong's eyes.
Su Tong's anger came not only from the warnings of the German government's half-soft and half-hard approach, but also from reports from the front lines a few days ago. In the Far East, Vasilevsky's several breakout operations were crushed by Sun Liren and Liu Yecheng.
They now only have more than 600,000 people, who have been huddled in this seemingly huge encirclement of more than 300 kilometers around Nizhny Uginsk, like sheep in a sheepfold, being overwhelmed by more than 100 of the first and second army groups.
Tens of thousands of troops surrounded them tightly, and it was only a matter of time before the whole army was destroyed.
After forming a solid encirclement, Sun Li and Liu Yecheng were not in a hurry to attack the troubled Soviet troops. Instead, they immediately mobilized more than one million troops to continue advancing westward along the Trans-Siberian Railway, and successively captured Omsk.
Kurgan and Tyumen troops have arrived at Yekaterinburg, an important town where the Soviet army was deployed in eastern Europe.
At this time, although the German ground forces were heading towards Moscow and Umyanovgrad, they still sent planes constantly flying to the direction of Yekaterinburg. The German planes were on several occasions with the Chinese Air Force's reconnaissance planes.
They met in the air, but what surprised the Chinese Air Force was that the German aircraft were obviously not very friendly. On several occasions, they even arranged a battle formation to confront the Chinese Air Force. This made the Chinese Air Force have a great impression of the Germans.
The pilots of the Chinese Air Force were greatly shocked. This also made the young men of the Chinese Air Force tense up. They realized that in addition to dealing with the Soviet Air Force, they also had a potential opponent, and that was Germany.
air force.
When the report from the Air Force was handed over to Su Tong, Su Tong knew that Hitler had become wary of China. This made Su Tong, who had been trying to maintain the current relationship with the Germans, realize that it was necessary to adjust the current Sino-German relationship.
Already.
Seemingly turning a blind eye to the anger in Su Tong's eyes, Ribbentrop solemnly said: "Therefore, for the sake of permanent peace between the two countries, our country hopes that your country's footsteps can be limited to the east of Yekaterinburg, with Yekaterinburg as the center between Germany and China.
It is a buffer zone for both countries, which is beneficial to both countries."
Although he had made a plan to let the Germans have a bloody encounter in Umyanovgrad and Moscow before taking action to clean up the mess, seeing such an aggressive attitude of the Germans, Su Tong could no longer bear his anger.
Living.
"This is impossible. Our country is bound to win Yekaterinburg. We can only accept your country's kindness."
"Do you represent the final attitude of your country's government?" Ribbentrop also had a sharp look in his eyes.
"Yes, this is the final attitude of our country's government, but I can promise your country's government that we can temporarily stop our progress after occupying Yekaterinburg as a gesture of response to your country's goodwill." Su Tong said every word.
said.
"When China is protecting the faith and civilization of the Asian nation, Germany also bears the same responsibility. This is the responsibility and obligation that our two countries bear towards the continents where they live. When the obligations undertaken by our two countries occur,
In times of conflict, we need to conduct necessary consultations. Based on this, our country has issued this proposal full of goodwill."
Ribbentrop looked at the President of China in front of him. This was once Hitler's instruction to him before leaving. But now he responded to him with the same words. The reason why the head of state chose to negotiate was because so far China has not
He is not an important enemy of Germany. Although Yuan Zeng has mentioned many times, the white people will eventually have a decisive battle with the yellow people, but not now. That is why he came to China to make a final effort. Although this effort
Some people think it is completely unnecessary.
"Asian civilizations are naturally guarded by the Asian people. Similarly, Russian affairs are naturally decided by the Russian people. This is what I said a long time ago. I don't think you will do better than the Russian people.
"We entered Russia to liberate the people on that land, not to simply occupy or enslave the people there." Su Tong used light words to mock the good deeds done by the German troops on Russian soil.
"That is an internal matter of the German [] team. I think it is better for us to solve this problem ourselves." Ribbentrop admitted that he was angered by the Chinese president in front of him. God is my witness, he is blaming the great
German[] team.
"Yes, this is also my consistent view." Su Tong's original serious expression suddenly became relaxed, and he said with a smile: "So, it is better for the Chinese army to be commanded by the Chinese government."
"Okay" Ribbentrop stood up and said with regret: "It seems that we can't reach a consensus. I can only regretfully report the results of today's conversation to the head of state of our country truthfully."
"Mr. Ribbentrop." Su Tong also stood up, "I'm sorry to let you go back with regrets, but after we capture Yekaterinburg, we will be there to watch how your country defeated the Soviet army. I hope this will
The talks will not have any negative impact on the relations between our two countries."
