Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 205: Telegram (below)
In the early days of the incident, Japan's attitude towards negotiations with Germany was still very tough. Commander of the Thirteenth Army Sawada swears that Japan has nothing to do with the assassination of Marshal Blumberg.
But when the Germans threw a bunch of doubts in front of the lieutenant general, the army commander never appeared on the negotiating table between the two sides. Foreign Minister Matsuoka led the next negotiation, which was originally his job, and the poor Nakazawa Sawada was just a cannon fodder to test the Germans' understanding of this incident.
None of the members of the German special envoy was professionally engaged in criminal investigation. Colonel Davidson had been a military police commander for two years, and he was considered the best among these people to catch the side, until Captain Steufenberg arrived. Before Shanghai, the assassination case had not made any progress.
Staufenberg is an excellent and careful administrative talent. Of course, he personally does not want to admit this. In fact, Stuffenberg, who received a noble education from a young age, actually wants to be a war officer on the battlefield like his ancestors. . As for what happened to the earl in Shanghai, that's the story to be told in the following article. I am sorry that the author will sell it first.
"Captain Staufenberg should be promoted to major, my head of state." Weierle picked up the crystal bottle on the coffee table and poured himself a small glass of wine.
Of course, the drinks in the Royal Suite will not be bargains. Weierle tasted this should be pure Irish whiskey.
"I was planning to wait for him to return to the command department for promotion, but now it looks like he has to change his plan." Xu Jun reached out and dusted the ashtray.
"You can tell him the good news in the telegram you reply, my head of state." Weierle said with a smile.
"This is a good idea, so it was decided. As for how to reply to the Japanese, according to what I said just now, you can sort out the words a little bit and send it directly." The imperial head touched his chin. , A look in the strategizing.
"Should your tone be tougher? My head of state." Weierle asked.
"You can be tough, to make them feel our dissatisfaction." Xu Jun nodded and replied.
"So what about Marshal Blumberg's visit?"
"Let Marshal Bollenborg communicate with Japan on his own. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should not directly intervene, and the domestic media should handle the matter in a low-key manner. Also inform Eugene Ott that he should also do some business." The tone became a little impatient.
General Eugene Otter was the victim of a failed power struggle. Historically, this kind of power faction struggle within Germany has never really calmed down. Eugene Otter (also translated as Eugen Otter), was once the last prime minister of the Weimar Republic, an aide to General Kurt von Schletcher.
When Schletcher used force to suppress the Nazi Party’s bankruptcy attempt, Colonel Otto, who was directly involved in the plot, kicked out of the army command and was sent to the island nation of Japan on the other side of the earth. , Served as the military attaché of the German Embassy in Japan.
As a result, this work lasted five years. Schletcher was shot and killed by a Nazi party on the Night of the Long Knife four years ago. Otto had already lost his backstage. Colonel Otto’s work performance in Japan gradually restored the Nazi Party’s trust in him, so when the last acting interim ambassador William Nobel stepped down, Eugene Otto was finally appointed by Hitler and became the Greater German Empire in Japan. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, and was promoted to the rank of major general.
The general mood of the Nazi Party is complicated. He was once influenced by Schletcher and firmly opposed the Nazi Party’s coming to power, but now he is accustomed to the Nazi raising arms and the Adolf hanging on the bedroom wall. The portrait of Hitler, of course, has now been replaced by the portrait of Reinhard von Steeter.
This general is a simple person, who is easier to trust acquaintances. In history, he almost unconditionally trusted Sorge, the greatest Red Army spy of the 20th century. It was the information leaked from Otter that reversed the unfavorable situation of the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front and completely bankrupted the German central cluster's strategic attempt. It was because of the involvement of the Sorge case that the ambassador was forced to step down and left Japan sadly to return to China.
There are not many historical records about what happened to the ambassador after four or three years. He was probably punished by the Nazi Party. What Xu Jun knew was that the major general survived a terrible war and died in 1997. Seven years.
However, in the current time and space, the general is proud of the spring breeze at this time. He spends all day walking in the social circles of Tokyo, holding a lot of Mark banknotes in his hand, enjoying the extravagance of Jiuchi Roulin.
After Hitler's death, the historical stains that the major general once had on his back also faded. He is now a loyal supporter of Reinhard von Steide. The general's performance inside and outside the embassy is completely impeccable, and it is displayed everywhere. He is extremely loyal to the new head of state.
Because the head of state attaches great importance to Japanese domestic intelligence, at this moment, the ambassador is full of people with the eyes of Odin. At the same time, ambassador Otter himself is given the mission of collecting Japanese intelligence. As a result, the Eye of Odin found that this man is really suitable for this job, because he is very familiar with the Japanese military and political parties, and the Japanese also think he has no scheming. He always gets it after pushing the cup and changing the cup. Some confidential information that cannot be obtained through conventional channels.
Major General Otto also enjoys the current life. Not only does he have the excitement of being a spy, he can also enjoy wine and food at public expense, and from time to time he can engage in a few romantic affairs to enrich his boring amateur life. Anyway, in less than half a year, the general hasn't changed much in other aspects, but his weight has actually increased a lot.
Now it’s his turn to perform his duties as an ambassador. Xu Jun believes that the ambassador can do everything well. Of course, if someone gently pulls a whip from behind, the efficiency should be higher.
"Then I will draft the telegram, my head of state." Weierle drank the whiskey in the glass and bowed respectfully to Xu Jun to say goodbye. It seemed that the head of state was a little tired and there was time to sleep before dinner. Sleep.
"I do want to hire that housekeeper, Weirle." Xu Jun said lightly, dangling a cigar, but if he was careful enough, he would find a sly smile in the corner of his eyes.
"Oh? Can you tell me the reason? My head of state. Of course this is your freedom. You have every right to choose who to hire, but I really want to know why you are doing this." Weierle sat down again. He thought he knew the spleen and stomach of the Führer well, but he was still often confused by the opponent's whims.
"Don't you think Fett is a very good housekeeper, and there is a lack of such a person by my side, so I sent an invitation." Xu Jun replied lightly.
"Doesn’t you think it’s too sloppy, my head of state, at least let Odin’s eyes investigate his background. He is an Englishman, and his host and his wife both indirectly died of In the last war, I don't know if he harbored hatred against the Germans because of this." Weierle advised.
"This is your job, Weierle. I believe in the ability of Odin's Eye. Before Fett officially works, thoroughly investigate his background." Xu Jun finished taking a cigar.
"My head of state, if you do this, what should Disenhofen do? He originally did the work of these butlers." Weierle frowned and said.
"Ha, you finally brought it up, Weierle. I knew you were worried about Disenhofen." Xu Jun laughed, and he pointed at Weierle with a cigar.
"Wait a minute, my Führer, you did all this deliberately?" Weierle widened his eyes and made a surprised expression.
"It's not deliberate. I can only say that there was an idea at the time." Xu Jun breathed out the smoke and said: "Why would I not consider Eric's ideas? In fact, I hired Fett as a housekeeper. , Just for Diisenhofen. He is a motivated young man. I can't keep him tied to the position of personal adjutant. Although his position is life adjutant~IndoMTL.com~, he has actually succeeded in replacing him. He became an excellent chief secretary and military assistant in his position at that time."
"What do you mean?"
"He should get out of those chores, and leave these trivial tasks to professionals. Eric can devote his energy to the work of the Führer’s House, and I need someone like him who can be trusted. Go and handle the more important work for me." Xu Jun said with blazing words, but Weierle thought that the last sentence might be the ultimate goal of the Führer.
"I'm going to let Eric continue to manage the secretariat, and at the same time promote him to military adjutant. After he is familiar with the administrative work, I will transfer him to the Operation Department of the Command for a period of internship."
"Do you want him to be another Hans? My head of state?" Weierle asked in surprise.
"No, everything depends on his personal choice. I will not impose fate on the people around me. If Eric doesn’t have this idea, then I would be happy to have such a good adjutant next to me. ." The head of state tilted his head and glanced outside the door.
