Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 375: Alliance (Part 1)

Germany in 1940 was not as advanced as people imagined in later generations. In fact, the situation in Europe was the same at that time. Urban buildings and infrastructure were outdated. Except for some core cities, ordinary township construction still remained at the beginning of the century. .

In the First World War, the participating countries in Europe damaged too much vitality, especially the loss of personnel. Because of the elite rule system in the early European military, the elite generation of the countries almost was exhausted in front of the trenches and barbed wire. At the same time, a large number of talented people chose to abandon their European careers and migrate to the other side of the Atlantic in order to avoid military service or war.

The World War I had a huge impact on Europe. Historians believe that it was this stupid and **** war that led to the decline of old Europe and at the same time gave the behemoth on the other side an opportunity to rise.

Some people say that the British have a reason to hate the Germans, because the sun never sets the empire's decline. The fundamental reason is that the two **** wars initiated by the Germans consumed the wealth of the British Empire. The Germans cannot and disdain to argue this point, and in fact many Germans are still delighted by it.

Why don’t the Germans hate the British? There was a time when they fought side by side against Napoleon in a **** battlefield. The Germans always regarded the British as distant relatives. Most of the British monarchs and aristocrats have German ancestry, but when Germany is on the European continent At the time of its rise, these British relatives were the ones who suppressed the blockade and hit Germany the hardest. How can they not let the Germans gnash their teeth when they think of it?

A team of black Mercedes-Benz bulletproof cars drove fast on Charlottenburg Street. At this time, the Tier Park on both sides of the street was still lined with trees, and many lawns and sidewalks were used for vacations. Citizens of Berlin. The imposing motorcade certainly attracted the attention of passers-by. Even in Berlin at that time, it was rare to see such a high-end motorcade traveling.

At first, people thought it was their head of state who ran out for a walk again. Some students and young people stood by the side of the street and raised their arms, but then people found out that the cars had been polished to the point of view. Hanging above his head is the rice flag of the British Empire.

"This time our purpose is to sign the next cooperation agreement with Germany. You have read the official document, Mr. Lloyd, do you think the German head of state will agree to our request." Clement Richard Attlee retracted his gaze from the window, turned his face to the former Secretary of Colonial Affairs who was sitting next to him and asked.

"Our mission is not easy this time, but for the sake of the empire and the king, we can only do our best." Lord Lloyd is a veteran politician who knows how to use diplomatic rhetoric.

"Of course, there is no doubt about it." Attlee turned his gaze back out of the window, and he suddenly felt that Chamberlain had put this Conservative politician next to him as his deputy, whether the purpose was to give himself a good look .

The security police post in front of the Brandenburg Gate has been notified in advance. A small group of Berlin wearing stiff blue-gray uniforms, shiny chrome breastplates on their chests, and leather-edged flat felt helmets The police blocked the traffic at the intersection early. Seeing the speeding diplomatic convoy, the police hurriedly lined up at the intersection and raised their hands in salute to the convoy.

The convoy quickly turned onto Albert Avenue, then turned left into Voss Avenue, and then stopped at the side entrance of the Imperial Chancellery on Voss Avenue.

Britain and Germany are currently close allies, so there is no need to enter from the front door to give them any pretensions. The two envoys and deputy envoys of the British special mission, under the guidance of personnel from the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs and security officers, ascended the high steps in front of the Chancellery. The guard flag soldiers standing by the Roman colonnade at the side entrance immediately erected their rifles to salute the guests.

Entering the tall oak door, the British envoys passed through the famous small round hall and came to the huge marble corridor of the Chancellery.

This was the first time Attlee came to this place. The British were immediately fascinated by this magnificent and solemn corridor, which was somewhat different from the empire center he had imagined. Compared with the Buckingham Palace and Parliament Buildings in the United Kingdom, although the German Chancellery lacks some refinement and elegance, it is far superior to the former two in terms of momentum.

Under the guidance of the internal guards, Attlee and his party came to the door of the fabled office.

"Hello, I'm glad to see you again, Mr. Attlee." Disenhofen turned out from behind the desk in the doorway, walked to Attlee and nodded in greeting.

"I'm also glad to meet you, Major Disenhofen." Attlee smiled and stretched out his hand at Disenhofen.

Attlee and Dissenhofen have met several times in London. This young adjutant who is always with the German head of state has really attracted the attention of many British politicians. He has performed well. The upbringing and gentle personality has won the favor and admiration of many British officials.

"You have come early. The head of state is now meeting with the Minister of the Interior. You can rest on the sofa over there and wait." Tysenhofen had a gentle smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter, probably how long it will take." Attlee let go of Disenhofen's hand and asked politely.

"I'm not sure about this, but I think it should be over soon. The time you agreed is eleven o'clock in the morning." Diisenhofen led Attlee to the sofa in the waiting area at the office gate, The rest of the people took their seats around.

"Do you need something to drink? We have tea and coffee here." Disenhofen asked several British people.

"No, thank you." Attlee declined politely. He looked down and saw that there was an ashtray on the table, so he took out the cigarette case from his pocket.

"This time the road is going well, I heard that it is raining heavily over Calais." Tysenhofen said.

"Our plane passed over the Netherlands, where the climate is okay." Attlee lit the cigarette and threw the extinguished match into the ashtray.

"These questions let Ribbentrop go to negotiate with them. I will not give a clear answer, whether in writing or verbally. Let Ribbentrop talk with them. This is his job. Work." Xu Jun closed the folder and threw it on the desk.

"Yes, my head of state, Ribbentrop is indeed the best candidate. You left him in the post of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. I was a little confused at the time, but now it seems that your decision is indeed It's full of foresight." Himmler said respectfully, and sent a string of compliments by the way.

"Domestic intelligence and counterintelligence work is your jurisdiction. This aspect of work must be paid attention to. Once the other party finds that they cannot obtain intelligence through formal channels, I am sure they will use other means." Xu Jun picked up The cigar that has been extinguished in the ashtray is re-strike the match to light the butt.

"I need the assistance of the Eye of Odin in this regard. The number of personnel in the State Security Administration seems to be insufficient at the moment. Is it possible to expand recruitment this year?" Himmler asked carefully.

For the control of power, this imperial head is more sensitive than Hitler. In Himmler’s view, this is the sense that a strong man in his mind should have, but if he is suspected of being alienated because of his expansion of power, then Then he can't cry even if he cries.

"I don’t want to discuss this issue right now, Himmler. As for Odin’s Eye, I will order Weierle to discuss with you on related issues. The task we now face is to stabilize the situation we currently have. , Discover and eliminate all possible hidden dangers." Xu Jun said with a deep face, staring at Himmler indifferently.

Sure enough, Himmler sighed secretly in his heart, wanting to expand his power under this apostle, it seems that there is still a long way to go.

"Yes, my head." Himmler nodded respectfully and accepted the order.

"If the Soviets have any new requirements, reply to them as I want." Xu Jun let out a breath of smoke and pushed the folder to the other side.

"Yes, my Führer." Himmler reached out and retracted the folder on the table.

Just three days ago, the Soviet Union suddenly sent a special delegation to Germany. Except for a few diplomatic envoys, most of them were professional military officers and military professionals.

They came with only one purpose, asking Germany to add the latest equipment and matching military technology used on the British battlefield in the next material transaction between Sod and Germany.

It seems that in the previous period of great purge, the Soviet secret service organizations overseas have not been killed by themselves. The Eye of Odin has indeed spotted many Soviet spies in the UK. These people are under the close surveillance and control of the German and British intelligence services, but it is clear that there are still many slippery fish that are currently active throughout Europe.

The Soviet delegation clearly stated that they wanted to obtain samples of the latest German Air Force aircraft such as the Fokker Wolf fw190 fighter jet, the Messerschmitt bf109 improved version, as well as the improved No. 4 tank and the new German assault. At the same time, they also asked for some samples of equipment seized by Germany from Britain and France, as well as the latest military technology data of the two countries, such as the new British aircraft engine and naval radar technology.

Of course, the Soviet Union did not want these things for nothing. They were prepared to exchange rare metal resources and oil. This time they were not only willing to lower the price of some finished ore, but also expressed that they could double the amount of oil trading.

This involves a series of secret agreements signed between Germany and the Soviet Union after the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty was signed. The Soviet Union agreed to provide Germany with scarce resources that it could not buy from the outside world, and Germany exchanged it for the latest military technology and equipment.

Xu Jun knew the inside story of these transactions. Hitler would agree to this transaction. It is a completely expedient measure. The two countries just use each other to get what they need. Generally speaking, the content of these transactions is fairly fair.

But from the moment Britain surrendered, everything became completely different. From the report of the German ambassador to the Soviet Union, it can be seen that the Soviet Union's attitude towards Germany has begun to change.

The alliance between Germany and the Soviet Union was completely forced by the Western European Group controlled by Britain and France. Especially after Britain and France declared war with Germany, the Soviet Union became Germany's largest and most reliable source of resources.

The cooperation between Germany and the Soviet Union began with the Treaty of Rabalo 20 years ago. Germany provided the Soviet Union with a variety of military and production technologies. The Soviet Union provided the Empire with venues and conditions for military personnel training, all in order to bypass The Treaty of Versailles tightly bound Germany.

After Hitler came to power, the scale of cooperation between Su and Germany became even greater. Germany imported from the Soviet Union the rare metals and petroleum resources that were urgently needed for military production. Germany provided the Soviet Union with advanced industrial technologies that the other side lacked. From metallurgy and chemical industry to military research and development, as long as Germany possessed everything it could trade with the Soviet Union, Germany It was once close to the Soviet Union to the point that they used "blood friendship" in their respective media to call the relations between the two countries. Germany's arsenal is almost completely open to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union will even go all over the world to purchase supplies for Germany when it encounters materials it cannot provide.

But now, the basis for the close cooperation between the two sides has ceased to exist with the surrender of Britain and France, and the contradictions between the two sides have gradually begun to slowly surface.

How to deal with the recent relations between Germany and the Soviet Union has now become Xu Jun's most troublesome issue. Germany’s overall strategic shift towards the Soviet Union has only just begun. Before completing the final preparations, Germany must stabilize the current situation. Germany and the Soviet Union cannot be too close, nor can they completely tear their faces apart. This is a serious challenge to the personal capabilities of policymakers.

"Pay attention to the situation around the Soviet delegation, who they have contacted, what they talked about, where they went out, and what they did. Everything must be closely monitored, but you must also be careful not to let the other party find out. Find some capable hands, there should be people who are good at doing these tasks in the Gestapo." Xu Jun pulled out a blank document paper from the file box, picked up a pen and quickly wrote on it.

"Yes, we have many good players, my head of state." Himmler replied affirmatively.

"Send more people to grasp their every move, so that the Eye of Odin can participate. This is my written order. All necessary means can be used in the action, but one thing, you must Ensure the personal safety of every member of the Soviet delegation." Xu Jun signed under the handwritten document, and then reached out and pressed the button on the desk to call the bell.

In a few seconds~IndoMTL.com~The side door of the office opened, and a young female secretary walked into the room with a light step.

"Hi! Reinhardt! My head of state." The female secretary stood still and raised her hand.

"Miss Walkerin, print and archive this order, and send the original to the Ministry of the Interior. The document is top secret." Xu Jun raised his hand and picked up the document.

"Yes, my head of state." The secretary respectfully accepted the document, and then again raised her hand to Xu Jun, turned around and walked out of the office quickly.

"My head of state, I don't seem to have seen her before." Himmler watched the young and beautiful female secretary leave, then turned to Xu Jun and said.

"Daugen is responsible for the new recruits. She is from Berlin. She has just graduated from university. She is a little bit inexperienced, but she is very easy to learn and should be trained soon." Xu Jun is in the smoke. The cigar head was pressed out in the jar.

"If there are no other questions, you can go now. I will also receive the British special envoy below." Xu Jun sat upright and patted the soot that accidentally fell on his sleeves.

"Yes, my head of state." Seeing Xu Jun's appearance, it was obvious that he was not going to discuss matters of the British with him.

Himmler was very knowledgeable about current affairs and immediately stood up and respectfully raised his hand to Xu Jun.

"Goodbye, my head of state. Hi! Reinhardt!"

"Goodbye, Himmler." Xu Jun raised his hand and turned his wrist to bid farewell.
