Section 317 French National Museum

"My dear head, I must tell you some things now. The French National Museum is not an ordinary museum. In this museum, in addition to the large number of Chinese cultural relics, there are also some treasures that France snatched from all over the world, including various famous paintings. If we agree, it may cause chaos in the French ruling region. If that time comes, it will be extremely unfavorable to us." The Foreign Minister considered more comprehensively. The French National Museum is like a symbol of France. The Germans asked the Chinese to empti it, and I am afraid it would be difficult to explain to the French in the future.

"Tell the French that if they are not satisfied, let them go with the Chinese. It's all our business, because our army fully cooperates with them. But let the Chinese move faster and don't let the whole French know. When the French know, all these things are pulled away by the Chinese. What does it matter to us? Well, my dear minister, I think the Chinese have put forward such high requirements. It's just a museum. No matter how precious the things there are, there is no way for us to help us win this war. On the contrary, their First Army is the most important. Let the centralized commanders hold a meeting quickly. They must be kept for these two weeks, and then let the troops of the servants get out of me." Hitler said happily.

Hitler no longer had any problems such as air traffic control or museums. He was already ruined by the servants on the front line and was not even in a mood to eat. Now after hearing this good news, he suddenly felt hungry and asked the chef to give him a new breakfast. For him, his mood is really great now. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese army has long been verified on the battlefield. This is the elite among the Chinese army. It is absolutely important to stabilize the central front. At this time, people just want a museum. Could it be that we can't give it to the Chinese? Not to mention the French National Museum, if it could be replaced with another group of troops, the German National Museum could also give it to him.

Although Mr. Ribintrop felt something was wrong, he didn't say anything. For him, the Head of State had the final say in such a thing. We would do whatever the head of state said. After all, we were all on duty. Besides, can the French make a fuss in the occupied area? If they dare to make trouble, the SS would not have a fire stick in their hands, which would make these French people feel it.

In the French-occupied areas and the Soviet-occupied areas, the German army was completely different. In the French-occupied areas, the German army was quite friendly to them, at least in terms of supplies, so as to eat well, then forget it, but it was completely different in the Soviet-occupied areas. In Hitler's mind, Western Europe and Eastern Europe are definitely two different levels. Influenced by Hitler, these soldiers were also different when dealing with Western Europe and Eastern Europe.

Mao Yuanshan knew very clearly that when the British and French allied forces entered the capital in 1860, they didn't know how many treasures they robbed of China. At that time, the Old Summer Palace in the capital was evacuated by them. A large number of Chinese cultural relics were all in France, and more than 80% of them went to the French National Museum. So Mao Yuanshan thought that he should be brought back at this time. Originally, Mao Yuanshan thought that he should discuss this matter with Germany, but they were all rejected by the Germans. Although the Germans occupied the entire France, they adopted Huairou rule in France and did not want to offend the French on a large scale. This also included the contribution of French traitors. You should know that there were still hundreds of thousands of French traitors on the battlefield. If China was asked to evacuate these places, it would be difficult to explain to the French army.

But it is completely different now. The French army, like other servants, has no ability and is just making trouble here! Not only can't help with the frontline affairs, but also often help. For such an army and the Chinese army, the German army certainly understands how to choose. What's wrong with the French National Museum? Anyway, you used to rob others, and now you just return the goods to the original owner. As for those cultural relics that are not China, just treat them as interest. After taking good things for so many years, don't you have to pay interest?

Paris has always been the cultural capital of the entire Western world. I don’t know how many precious things are in this city. Although Mao Yuanshan only named the French National Museum, the army in the past carried a lot of weapons and equipment. German soldiers had been short of guns and cannons for a long time. France is not a front-line battlefield, so their supplies are simpler, especially in terms of arms. The two main things in the army are food and arms. If you give them a batch of arms in China, I am afraid that the local officials below would have traded with China long ago, and the whole of Paris might have been emptied by China!

The transaction that Marshal Paulus had made with China was later discovered by Hitler. He originally thought that Hitler would punish him, but he didn't expect it to be praised! In Hitler's opinion, everything could be exchanged for war items. What are the uses of those vases and other things? It has no use except ornamentality, so Hitler encouraged his officers to get these things and exchange them with China. As long as the exchange is all about arms or other necessary items, there is no guilt and he can let go of his hands to rob all areas in the occupied area.

This is also a way for Germany to support war. At the beginning, many people felt a little uncomfortable, but later when they did not have weapons and ammunition to fight, this discomfort would be gone. Moreover, the robbery was all other countries, and they had no psychological burden. If the people in these countries dared to resist, let you taste the taste of bullets.

However, the robberies were separated in scattered ways. This robbery was of a group nature, which gave the German army some tricky advantages. However, thinking of hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, a museum was nothing, and a Paris was nothing.
