Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 196: Interview
Although he was allowed to board the special train arranged for the German head of state, Sir Fay’s mood was still a little uneasy. Although the titles of members of the House of Lords and Royal Sirs of the British Empire are honorable, it does not mean that the German head of state will treat him highly Take a look.
In the carriage, the uncrowned king of Europe has accomplished something that even the emperor Napoleon could not do. Once the new European system he leads is completed, the entire world structure will be changed.
Facing a powerful alliance that has never appeared in European history, perhaps restoring the glory of the sunless empire is no longer an empty hysteria. The Europa Union, a grand vision is gradually becoming a reality. As a member of this union, the choice of what role the UK will play in it is not in London's hands. Sir Fay knows this very well, because everything depends on the attitude of the man in the carriage.
"Sir, the Führer agrees with you, please follow me." A German army major came to Sir Faye. Faye already knew that this was the personal adjutant of the German Führer. What impressed him was that The major has an unusually young face.
"Thank you, Major Disenhofen." Sir Fay thanked him politely, and then followed Disenhofen through the aisle between the carriages.
"Twenty or twenty-two, definitely not more than twenty-five years old." Your Excellency, a member of the House of Lords, looked at the back of the head of state adjutant and wondered.
This train was specially tailored by the British government for the King of Egypt. The British Empire has always taken such matters concerning the face of the royal family very seriously. The carriage manufacturer in Plymouth has almost completely handcrafted this section of the King’s train, and specially invited experts who specialize in art for the royal family to design the interior of the carriage in accordance with the traditional Egyptian style.
The materials used the precious woods, leather, precious metals and gems produced in various British colonies. All the furniture and supplies in the carriage are of the best colors. One set of silver inlaid enameled tableware is from the Victorian era. Specially customized products for the British royal family, with Queen Victoria's personal emblem.
As we all know, the Egyptian king is a piece of mud that can't support the wall. He has no interest in inspecting his country under the sun and rain. He only likes to hang out with a group of beauties in the comfortable palace, or hold banquets and wait for opportunities to steal guests. Items on the body.
This king train has not been used once in a few years, but the Egyptian Railway Company has been carefully maintaining it. Now it seems that the hard work of the engineers has not been in vain. This train has finally ushered in since its birth. Since then, the master truly fits its status.
Pushing open the black oak partition door with red leather in the middle, Disenhofen led Fay into this section of the car as the living room. The overall style of the interior of the carriage is Victorian, but a lot of Arab elements are used in the decorative lines and patterns. The ground is covered with exquisite Turkish wool carpets and embroidered tapestries made in Iran are hung on the walls at both ends of the carriage. In the middle of the carriage was an oval-shaped low table, surrounded by a circle of sofa chairs wrapped in red lambskin.
An exquisite small desk was placed in the corner of the carriage, and an Arabic-style high-backed chair was placed beside the desk. At this moment, the German head of state was sitting on that chair with his chin in one hand, listening carefully to his side. The German general spoke.
"My head of state, a member of the House of Lords of the British Empire, Sir Faye, the colonial envoy." After the announcement, Tysenhofen moved to one side, letting out the British behind him.
"Good afternoon, dear head of state, I am extremely honored to be summoned by you." Faye stroked his left chest and bowed respectfully in salute.
"Good afternoon, Sir Fay, I am also glad to meet you." The imperial head nodded gracefully in return.
"Your Excellency, I also bring greetings from His Majesty the King." Fay once again bowed respectfully.
"Please reply to His Majesty King George for me. Since the last meeting, I have always missed him. If I have free time, I hope that King George can come to Germany as a guest. I will go hunting and fishing with him." Germany The head of state said with a smile.
"Thank you very much. I will tell your Majesty the truth. Can this be regarded as an official invitation? Your Excellency." Faye looked at the imperial head of state with joy.
"What do you think, Mr. Sir." The German head lifted his chin slightly.
"Your Majesty the King will be very happy, Honorable Head of State." Fay quickly lowered his head humbly.
King George VI of England has not announced his retreat to the second line, so the Duke of Windsor has not formally reigned, because the cabinet considered this issue too sensitive, Britain just suffered a defeat, it is really not suitable to stimulate the people's nerves at this moment, so Postponed the alternation schedule of the British throne.
After Churchill took all the responsibilities, George VI was portrayed by the media as an innocent monarch deceived by the prime minister. The British seemed to have forgotten their dissatisfaction with the king before and began to sympathize with the king's situation. Some royalists took the opportunity to write letters to cabinet ministers, hoping that they would make a request to the German government to abandon the provisions in the terminal treaty that held the royal family responsible.
The British cabinet was gratified that the German head of state kindly agreed to Prime Minister Chamberlain’s request and agreed that George VI would continue to retain the throne. As for when the Duke of Windsor’s regency order was issued, the Germans did not seem to be anxious. Reichenau, the commander-in-chief of the German army stationed in Britain, once publicly stated that he remembered a few German generals, and that in the future such questions should be directly asked to Buckingham Palace.
The British cabinet was happy that the Germans didn't care, otherwise, I really didn't know how to shirk it. After all, the king himself signed the document. So the abdication of George VI has been postponed until now, regardless of Germany and England, it seems that everyone is happy.
By the way, after using antibiotics and new treatments, Chamberlain’s health is gradually improving. The bacteria at the time were not resistant to drugs. Originally, the prime minister died of complications after surgery, but it seems that he can at least Bounced on the stage for a while.
If anyone in the United Kingdom is dissatisfied with this matter, it is the Duke of Windsor and his party members, especially the lady of Windsor, who has long been eager to take the crown of the Queen of the British Empire. . This is a very vanity woman, she can do everything she can to regain the lost title, even at the side of the enemy of the country.
The Duchess is a staunch supporter of the Nazi Party. It is said that she has a close relationship with the Deputy Foreign Minister of Germany. If someone like her becomes the Queen of England, it may be more than defeat for the lords in the British Parliament. Can't make them tolerate it.
Sir Fay would be excited by a simple invitation from the German head of state, not because he made a fuss about not seeing the world, but because it meant that the German head of state still recognized King George’s ruling position. To put it more bluntly, At least until George VI's visit to Germany, the cabinet need not worry that the king will be forced to surrender power.
As for whether Mrs. Himpson will be mad because of this, this is not something he needs to consider. Don't say that the Duke of Windsor's house has fallen down, even if the building collapses on Faye, it does not matter.
Sir Faye was not so loyal to George VI. He just looked at the problem from the perspective of a politician. As long as he transmits this news back to London, it will definitely cause an earthquake in the House of Commons. Faye, at the center of the event, will accumulate a valuable political capital.
Of course, the king would not regard him as an object of gratitude, because it was the head of the empire who made the decision, but Sir Fay, as the envoy of the negotiations, would definitely be remembered heavily in the king's heart.
After a good start~IndoMTL.com~The German head of state and the British knight had a friendly and cordial conversation. The British Jazz is a very talkative person, because even the clumsy-speaking person will become an old greasy person if he spends a long time in the House of Lords. The topic soon turned to the ongoing war on the Arabian Peninsula. The German head of state stated that he was satisfied with the current progress of the war, but at the same time he was also worried about the lack of front-line transportation capabilities.
"Dear Head of State, I am a purely layman on strategic and tactical issues, and I cannot make any useful comments. But if it is purely about the transportation of troops, I can make a little suggestion." Faye said as he put a spoonful of honey in the black tea cup.
"Please say, Sir Fay." Xu Jun lit the cigar roll in his mouth with the match in Disenhofen's hand.
"Your Excellency, I would like to ask you a question first, how much do you know about mules..." Faye leaned toward the German head of state, pretending to be mysterious, and said in a deep voice.
"You mean... the mule?" The head of Germany was taken aback when he heard the words, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
