Chapter 320: The Battle Begins(1/2)
,
spn "Today is a loss on June 6?"
Zhang Shusheng raised his head and looked at the exquisite scenic calendar on the table. He Ning smiled with a unique charm when he left home in the morning. He suddenly came to his senses. Today is Dan Tai's birthday.
After leaving the office, he came to the office of Lu Yunyan, former director of the General Office of the Central Committee and currently the director of the office of the headquarters of the headquarters. "Yunyan, why didn't you tell me in the morning? Today is Dan Tai's birthday."
Seeing that Zhang Shu was born, Lu Yunyan first went to lock the door, then leaned down and kissed him, then walked behind him and massaged him gently, "You are so busy that you almost have no time to have dinner recently. Dan Tai called back yesterday and asked you. When her mother said that, the girl said not to tell you that she was today's birthday.
However, the girl called to ask how to make ox leg zongzi. She probably wanted to learn it again and wait until the Dragon Boat Festival arrives for us to eat."[
While enjoying Lu Yunyan's light rubbing and picking, Zhang Shusheng said to himself: "I've been a little busy lately. This girl is really good, and I won't tell me about her birthday."
Of course I have been very busy recently, and there is a conflict between China and North Korea on one side.
Although the military operation has ended and the two divisions of the National Defense Forces have been stationed in Shinyiju, the subsequent impact has not been completely eliminated. How to maximize this border conflict and develop in the favorable direction of China is a systematic and complex issue.
Although he doesn't have to do everything in detail, Shinyiju is related to the second or third confrontation between China and Japan on the North Korean issue in the future. He can't help but ignore it. He has to personally inquire about many important plans.
As for the impact of this incident on international responsibility, it even met Zhang Shusheng's expectations.
In this border incident where the Axis Organization was essentially a Sino-Japanese conflict, the Axis Organization was once again awakened by the ethnic conflict between China and Japan. As one of the three most important countries within the Axis Organization, the meaning of China and Japan is second only to its strategic position for Germany, even if Germany is thousands of miles away.
In order to make up for the rift caused by this incident, Hitler attached unprecedented importance to "sending his confidant Gorene to secretly visit China and Japan, trying to resolve the Sino-Japanese crisis from the perspective of Germany and consolidate the relationship between the Axis powers.
On the other hand, the three countries jointly operated the maritime grassland operation.
In addition to Gorene's visit to China, the most important action of the Axis Powers is that the counterattack of the Indians "how to use the three countries' naval forces to the maximum extent and to deal with the United States and Britain" is the common interest point of the three parties.
In these aspects, although the General Staff and the Navy Staff have completed the Chinese plan, and the tripartite joint combat command has completed the three-party cooperation plan, Zhang Shusheng still needs to think about the Chinese plan part in the most detailed way.
To give the simplest example, the content of the plan on the distribution of interests in the Pacific is not something that ordinary staff members can have strategic views, and there are too many other things that need attention.
Although even if these things are not as good as Zhang Shusheng, he would still have the result, but he was worried that such busyness has become his routine before the war.
"Or why do I ask my sister to go to Shanghai to see her and celebrate her birthday?"
He leaned over his husband's face and pecked him, Lu Yunyan asked against Zhang Shusheng's face.
Zhang Shusheng closed his eyes and said, "No, after I met Golin in the afternoon, "Let's take a helicopter to Shanghai together, this girl."
If he rarely travels to helicopters even if he has urgent matters, but today, he feels this is necessary.
It’s not because of anything else, because Dan Tai was abandoned by her family since she was a child. Every year on birthdays and festivals, she was in the lowest mood. Zhang Shusheng naturally wanted to celebrate the next festival for him.
It was time for Golinjin to meet Zhang Shusheng in a blink of an eye.
This was a high-standard reception. Zhang Shusheng, accompanied by several military and political officials of the National Defense Forces, met Gorene and Ribbintrov who were secretly visiting China in the Hall of the World. The former was Hitler's absolute confidant, while the latter visited China many times, which was regarded as escorting Gorene.
The first moment he saw Gorene, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but smile in his heart. This German Air Force Marshal, who was famous for his short-sighted eyes and fat heads and ears in history, was the top confidant around Hitler. Perhaps because the war between the Axis Powers is much smoother than in history, he was actually fatter than Zhang Shusheng imagined.
Before meeting, the security department showed Zhang Shusheng the photos of Gorene inspecting a place in Germany three months ago, but he didn't expect that the real person looked fatter.
Zhang Shusheng swept the conference seats in the Hall of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms without any trace, and thought to himself, if it weren't for the extra sized seat for you, you might not have found a place to sit today.
Ah! Your Excellency Zhang Shusheng, the head of the East, whom I admire the most, please accept my sincere respect. Your wisdom and wisdom are spread throughout Europe. My dearest head of the head of the world, Mr. Hitler, asked me to convey to you the most sincere greetings from brotherly countries on his behalf."
According to diplomatic practice, participants on both sides could enter the venue at the same time, but Gorene's identity is not as good as Zhang Shusheng after all, and the Germans are looking for China. After discussing with relevant Chinese personnel, Gorene waited for Zhang Shusheng and other Chinese leaders to wait for the guests and wait for the host.
When holding Gorene's fat hands that looked like legs, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but think in his heart that this guy was hiding ambition, conspiracy, and insidiousness that was far beyond ordinary people under his vulgar and offensive appearance.
"The great head of the East, I am very happy to see you again. You are still so impressive just like a few years ago." Compared to Gorin, Ribbintrov seemed a little wise and generous. After bowing, he shook hands with Zhang Shusheng, which was considered a respectful thing.
Then, many military and political officials, including Army Commander Wu Tiejun and Air Force Commander General Fan Siran, met with German personnel one by one. In addition to the wretched fat man Gorene and Ribbintrop, the cunning foreign minister, the military also came with a marshal and many generals. The lineup was huge, at least there was no defect in etiquette.
When he learned that the middle-aged man with a slightly silver hair on the opposite side who revealed a different divine light was the Chinese Air Force General, Gorene's facial expression twitched without a smile. Even though he was as conceited as he was, he had to think in his heart that at least these military and political officials in China were all talented, even in the aesthetics of Westerners, he was considered a handsome man. In comparison, "only a few German generals have similar temperaments, look at himself and Ribbin Trov," especially himself, Gorene had the idea of controlling his diet for the first time.
"I am also the commander of the Air Force. Is it because he is an admiral and I am a marshal, and my temperament is so different? Perhaps because I am a marshal, he is just an admiral. But is there a marshal in China...,..."
Everyone sat down smoothly, except for Gorene, "maybe because the seat was not customized, it was a bit inappropriate." When she sat down, she subconsciously twisted her fat trunk. As a result, she suddenly found that she was out of control and immediately had a honest smirk on her face.
Zhang Shusheng cursed inwardly, this is really a fat man who knows how to enjoy it very much, but it has nothing to do with China.
However, what surprised Zhang Shusheng the most was that this fat man could speak Chinese, but he was different from Ribbin Trov and his spoken language was a little frustrated. Perhaps it was because Hitler wanted to enhance the relationship between China and Germany. Most of the German delegations who visited China this time spoke Chinese very well.
Zhang Shusheng thought to himself that Hitler was indeed showing goodwill.
This time, the reception was extremely nutritious. Gorene, a fat man, said something flattering to China-German relations, and finally even developed to the idea that the Axis Alliance would definitely rule the entire earth.
"You should understand that today you can be as good as the Third Reich as the Third Reich in terms of national economic strength, industrial strength, army, navy, air force, etc. Head of State Hitler even called you the Fourth Reich many times. He believed that the future world should only be shrouded under the rule of a great head of state like you who can be compared with him.
“…You see, the land in the East is so vast. Siberia is full of resources, Southeast Asia, the Pacific region, Australia and other countries, and…
You may not know that the Head of State has revised his Third Reich blueprint many times.
Sorry, because at first the underestimation of your country's strength, our initial goal was to force the Soviets to sign an agreement to cut us some of the places we were interested in, just as they did in Poland.
Later, the war developed, and the brave battle of the Third Emperor team exceeded our expectations.
For the first time, the head of state brought the idea of occupying the entire European territory of the Soviet Union, basically unifying Europe in form, and establishing European Nazi legions to the base camp.
…, With the full participation of China in the war, it not only restrained a large number of American and British troops in Southeast Asia, but also helped Japan complete the Southeast Asian strategy, and then went north to attack the Soviet Union, which completely kicked off the great Axis power organization to dominate the world..., After all, this time..."[
Goring paused slightly, then pretended to be unpredictable and said, "The great Head of Hitler has drawn the boldest conception map. In three to five years, we will win the entire Soviet war, and we will divide the entire Soviet Union with our great allies and our third ally, Japan.
In the conception of the head of state, the Third Reich would occupy the Soviet territory in Europe and the Arctic Ocean. You would obtain Central Asia and Siberia, and the Japanese would obtain the barren Far East.
We will force the British to withdraw from India. If you or the Japanese are interested, you will all gain new colonial rights in India, or at least have considerable interests in the fields of rituals, economy, etc.
In the Pacific direction, your country will mainly gain benefits in the South Pacific direction, and the Japanese will gain benefits in the North Pacific direction, and we will gain benefits in the Atlantic Ocean.
You may understand that Americans cannot defeat them in one day, but once World War II has basic decisions and results, we will form a situation of surrounding the Americans in the world, and after weakening it, we will completely turn it into the third-class country in the world."
Hearing Goring's endless talk, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but reveal his impression of Hitler in the picture. In his impression, this short man also likes to make long speeches and pass on some things that others seem shocking to others. And the people around him are most famous for their incitement and speech, except for Goebbels, the propaganda minister of the Third Reich, the man in front of him is definitely the third German man.
Seeing that he paused slightly, Zhang Shusheng looked at Zhou Guo, the General Secretary of the State Council. The latter immediately met and smiled and said, "Mr. Goring, I don't know how to divide the first-class and second-class countries that your head of state, Mr. Hitler, think of?"
Goring waved his hand and said, "I'm happy to answer it for you. In the conception of the head of state, Germany will be the world's polar hegemony in the future and the world's first-class country. Japan, Italy, and the Middle East Alliance will be the second-class country in the world. The third-class country will be the weak country like the United States...", "A great idea." Zhou Guolai nodded without comment, and then stopped talking.
But Zhang Shusheng thought in his heart that the polar overlords were the two-polar overlords. Just kidding, if you really want to leave the crazy Germany such as the polar overlords to develop slowly, maybe there will be another new Cold War at that time.
However, from Goring's words, Zhang Shusheng also realized that Hitler's desire for this war had reached a time when he needed to quickly see the final result. Perhaps it was because of the domestic problems in Germany, or because he was afraid that the war would be too deep, and eventually the Axis powers and the allies led by the United States would fall into a loss. In short, Hitler's idea was to maximize existing interests and then form a global surround of the United States.
If China really takes advantage of his plan, it is obviously not what Zhang Shusheng wants.
At that time, tens of millions of fully armed troops and armed to the teeth, would they just obtain the fruits of war and return to the field? Then the whole nation will sing and dance every day?
Perhaps realizing some embarrassment, Ribbintrov said, "Your country's status is far higher than that of the great head of state in the heart of the great head of state. In the head of state's post-war conception, China's benefits will be far greater than that of the Japanese.
Moreover, due to geographical location, China is getting stronger and stronger and will continue to become stronger today. The impact of Japan on your country has been minimized.
At this time, if we can let go of some past contradictions and look forward to the future, we (Axis powers) will gain more.
When we look back at the World War, the Allies also occupied the balance of victory, but because of some discordant and unstable elements, the Italians eventually betrayed the Organization of the Contract, which eventually led to the war's irreversal...”
As soon as Ribbintrop's words were outstanding, everyone understood that the Germans meant that Japan, which was less important than the interests after the war, was no longer worthy of China as its opponent. China should not expand Sino-Japanese conflicts because of some past hatred, and even reach the level of stability of the Axis of the Crisis.
Ribbintrov even hinted that if the conflict between China and Japan becomes bigger and bigger, it is difficult to guarantee that Japan will stay in the Axis powers with peace of mind.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Ribbintrov, thank you for your advice. We will seriously consider the future relations between China and Japan and the future relations of the Axis powers."
This is one of the things Zhang Shusheng said not much, not because of how important what Ribbin Trov said, nor because he reminded himself.
The most important thing is that Zhang Shusheng discovered that at least this time, the Germans' ideas were close to him.
Perhaps Hitler also realized that the biggest instability factor for the Axis powers in the future was not the difficulty of the war, nor Europe, nor China, but Japan himself.
Perhaps, saving the relationship between China, Japan and Germany, repairing the cracks in the Axis powers, and preventing the gradual transition of Japan to the allying side of the allies is the most fundamental reason why Hitler sent a secret mission to visit China and Japan.
The subsequent meeting entered the chat stage, which was nothing more than the German side hoping to get some technological or military help from China. However, the Germans talked the most about this joint maritime military operation between China, Japan and Germany. The people present were very senior military and political personnel from both sides, and they were fully able to access these confidentiality plans.
Zhang Shusheng did not speak again. Occasionally, Wu Tiejun and others would speak or reply to German topics, but from beginning to end, Zhang Shusheng's words were not more than two sentences except for the initial etiquette and greetings.
There is only one sentence: "Mr. Ribbentrop, thank you for your advice. We will seriously consider the future relations between China and Japan and the future relations of the Axis powers. As one of the highlights of the meeting, the Germans said that when the war was in progress, or after the war, they would stand on China's side and ask Japan to completely return the Far East to China to make up for the "China-Japan relations and to make up for the damage to the national and territorial feelings of the Chinese people that were once seized by the Soviets.
After the reception, when the German delegation returned to the secret residence, when Goring and Ribbintrov had a post-meeting exchange, Goring was still excited, "Ribbintrov, the enthusiasm of the Chinese people exceeded my imagination. The head of state was right. As long as there were enough interests, the head of state of the East would definitely be moved."
Ribbintrov nodded subconsciously, and after Goring left, he asked the German official who was responsible for the meeting not far away, "How many words did the head of state say at the meeting? What kind of jar did they say?"
What surprised Ribbintrov was that he felt a little similar to Gorene, as if the tone of the whole meeting was very good, and the Chinese were also very enthusiastic, and the head of the East always gave people a very positive and enthusiastic feeling. It seemed that during the whole meeting, whether he spoke, nodded, or even a smile represented his statement.
"Mr. Minister, this head of the East only said one sentence in total..."
The official's expression was a bit ugly and handed a brief meeting minutes to the Foreign Minister.
When Ribintrov saw it, his face looked ugly and turned around and left, but he thought to himself: This head of Chinese will increasingly affect a person's thoughts and thoughts. Even if he only said one sentence, it will always make you subconsciously feel that he supports your thoughts very much, he agrees very much, he agrees very well, he is kind... But in fact, he only said one sentence from beginning to end.
He couldn't help but compare the usual style of Head Hitler and couldn't help but think: This head of Eastern is becoming increasingly incomprehensible, perhaps just like their oriental traditions, it is becoming more and more mysterious.
After the meeting, Zhang Shusheng took He Ning back to the head of state camp.
The afternoon meeting made him feel extremely chatty. For him, he rarely attended such a three-hour meeting that was of little significance but extremely boring in recent years.
From beginning to end, he did not say anything redundant. It was not that he pretended to be profound, but that there was nothing to say. China was not good at pleasing Germany. Of course, the necessary face-saving work was naturally done by the officials below. And if the promises at the head of state came from the far-sighted perspective from the head of state, Zhang Shusheng even thought it was absurd.
He will not promise anything to any country, because everything is based on China's interests as the highest.
He would not throw out any seemingly far-sighted and broad-minded talk, because everything is done down-to-earth, and after success, review is more convincing than review.
The great blueprint conception is not said in the mouth, but outlined on paper and conceived in the heart.
At 5:10 pm Hanjing time, Zhang Shusheng and his two wives boarded a helicopter heading to the Pudong Military Airport in Pudong, Shanghai at the airport of the Head of State.
The reason why he did not take the Head of State Air Force One or other Air Force fighter jets was only because this was Zhang Shusheng's business, and this specially made helicopter was modified by Zhang Shusheng's personal funding.
The basis of the modification is a high-energy multi-purpose armed aircraft exchanged from the dream system. The modification work makes it look more ordinary, but it actually has very powerful functions and is fully qualified as the most advanced armed helicopters of the Americans in the 1900s.
"The things exchanged are good, but unfortunately they are too expensive."
This is the biggest feeling Zhang Shusheng felt when he arrived at the Shanghai Military Airport.
Taking a helicopter is indeed easier than other military aircraft, with many less procedures and no need to go through a lot of trouble. You can act quickly. Apart from the necessary security work, you almost don’t need to alarm anyone.
After a brief makeup, after the experts from the base camp's security department conducted a safety assessment, they almost couldn't recognize that Zhang Shusheng's family was finally going to Shanghai No. 1 Middle School under the secret protection of the guards.
At around 6 pm, a Chinese 500 car arrived at the entrance of Shanghai No. 1 Middle School.
"Comrade, the school is fifty meters ahead. It is time for school to finish the school. Traffic control is underway. Please show your driver's license."
Because it was the peak period of school, traffic control was carried out at the school gate. A traffic policeman came over, saluted and began to check.
"It should be, thank you for your hard work."
To be continued...
