Because if it is assumed that Germany will win this war, then of course everything the German officers and soldiers did is meaningful. Their sacrifices and battles will certainly bring benefits to Germany, and they will also receive honors and medals.
but……
If Germany is destined to fail, then the resistance and sacrifice of German officers and soldiers will not be honored, but will become a disaster.
This theory is a bit like Wang Jingwei’s “curve to save the country.”
But they are fundamentally different.
This does not mean justice and injustice or aggression and being invaded.
Of course, they are morally important, but have nothing to do with military affairs and war.
From a historical perspective, not only just wars will win, but injustice or aggression will definitely be defeated... This only exists in movies, novels and fairy tales.
If justice can determine the outcome of a war, then Mongolia should not have destroyed one country after another and massacred one city after another, nor should the Eight-Power Allied Forces invade Beijing to burn, kill, and loot.
In fact, in reality, holding the view that "justice must prevail" is not only wrong, but also very dangerous, because it can easily lead people to make wrong judgments about the situation between ourselves and the enemy.
Germany's situation at this time is different from Wang Jingwei's "curve to save the country" because at this time, Germany's internal and external troubles opened up battlefields in several directions at the same time. Internally, there were countries including France that were waiting for opportunities to be annexed, and externally there were the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom.
colonial powers, the Soviet Union, and the United States, which was about to enter the war.
Germany had almost no chance of winning.
In this case, it is obviously reasonable to stop the war and surrender as soon as possible to seek peace, which can save Germany from being broken and dismembered in the end.
However, Wang Jingwei's "curve to save the country" was proposed when the war between China and Japan reached a stalemate.
At this time, it is entirely possible for China to win, and it is even expected that the United States will definitely participate in the war in the near future. As long as China persists in resisting and holding back the Japanese army, the overall strategic situation will develop in a good direction.
Under such circumstances, Wang Jingwei's personal struggle for power and profit forced him to assume that "China must lose" and derived a set of "curves to save the country" theory, which is a complete reversal of right and wrong and no distinction between right and wrong.
Major Ball thought for a long time before replying: "Maybe... we can win!"
"Yeah, maybe!" Shulka said: "But then we have to wait for a miracle to happen, you mean?"
Major Power did not answer, but frowned and smoked fiercely with his cigarette in his mouth. After a while, he finished the cigarette, and Shulka handed him another one at the right time.
"You should know what to do to benefit Germany, Major!" Shulka said: "End this war, the sooner the better! Otherwise, you know what will happen in the future... the British, Americans, Soviets
, and the French and even the Africans, they will rush into Germany and pay you back ten times the price for what you did on their land!"
"But what can I do?" Major Ball said angrily: "I'm just a major. Can I end the war by selling information to you? The result is still the same. I'm not stupid. You will still rush into Germany. The difference
It’s just that you can win this war easier and faster, but I will become a traitor!”
Shulka waited quietly for him to finish, and then replied: "You may have another choice!"
"What choice?"
"Think about it!" Shulka said: "What is the root cause of this war!"
Major Ball didn't understand what Shulka meant at first, but after a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Shulka in surprise, and said: "You mean...Hitler!"
Shulka nodded and said: "This war was actually started by him, wasn't it? If he is eliminated, all problems will be solved... Germany can negotiate with other countries with its existing military armaments.
You have the capital to negotiate, because if the war continues like this, we will also lose many people, many, many people! Believe me, no one wants this. So, the next issue is on the negotiation table!"
This may not be in line with Southeast Asia's view of war. Southeast Asia emphasizes more on "it is better to live in pieces than in ruins." However, business countries in Europe that only care about interests will consider issues from the perspective of "interests" and treat each other.
"Mutual benefit and win-win" is beneficial to all, because only in this way can an agreement be reached.
The plan proposed by Shulka at this time is a "mutually beneficial and win-win" plan, so it is very likely to be realized.
Akadiyevich, who was listening to the interpreter's explanation, was a little stunned when he heard this. He looked at Shulka with disbelief. He couldn't believe that such a grand and reasonable-sounding plan could come from a person.
Major, an infantry major.
Although this plan can be said to have just started or even not yet started, if the set of rhetoric and theories proposed by Shulka were brought to Germany by a few "spies", it is not difficult to imagine that it would definitely convince someone.
A large number of German officers and soldiers.
The reason is very simple, because this set of arguments is analyzed from a realistic perspective and then the most beneficial approach to Germany is derived.
Therefore, this cannot even be said to be "treason", but should be said to be "saving Germany", regardless of whether those German officers and soldiers have selfish motives.
For the Soviet Union, there was almost no need to spend resources... no ammunition, no supply of equipment, just words and limited operations and funds, it could set off a big wave within the German army and divide the German army, and even
It can also eliminate the German head of state and end this war.
At this time, Arkadyevich was completely convinced.
"He is a genius!" Akadiyevich said to his staff: "Rather than a soldier, a hero, or a commander, he should be a spy or a staff officer of the General Military Intelligence Agency!"
What Akadiyevich didn't know was that Shulka was actually not as smart as he thought. He just knew what direction the future would develop and took advantage of it in advance.
"How is it?" Shulka asked Major Power: "You don't need to answer in a hurry, we can give you time to think about it. But..."
Shurka looked at his watch and then said: "I think you'd better make a decision as soon as possible, because the longer it takes, the more you will be suspected when you go back!"
"You mean..." Bauer looked at Shulka in surprise.
"Yes!" Shulka said: "As I said before, we are actually not interested in the information you know. However, we must ensure that you are under our control, understand?"
So Major Ball understood that just like the Germans did to Soviet prisoners, they needed to grab some handle. (To be continued)
