Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 296: Decision
The reorganized special diplomatic mission of Japan once again submitted an interview request to the German government. German Deputy Foreign Minister Ribbentrop brought the explanation document and the post-processing report handed by the Japanese special mission to the Ritz Hotel in Paris. . The German military and political institutions are withdrawing from this hotel. The hotel has received a compensation from the German army. Although it is not enough to make up for the losses caused by the suspension of business for several months, it is better than not getting a dime in history. A lot of it.
Xu Jun still stayed in his exclusive office on the third floor. Yesterday, a luxurious promotion ceremony was held in the Grand Ballroom of the Ritz Hotel. Xu Jun personally issued promotion documents to these marshals and generals. Leading the ranks and hanging the shining medals on the chests of the officers. This is the best way to reward these generals who pay attention to tradition and honor. The generals who participated in the ceremony were all showing that they were the heads of state. Praised her demeanor.
In order to avoid stimulating the self-esteem of the French people, the ceremony is not open to outsiders. The participants are all members of the German military, and all foreign media interviews and visits are declined. Originally, the Army wanted to determine the venue of the ceremony in the Harvest Hall of the Palace of Versailles, but after Xu Jun thought about it, he rejected this proposal. The French regarded Versailles as a national pride and a symbol of the country. Back then, William I was crowned in the Hall of Mirrors of Versailles. Let the French hold hatred for almost half a century. The French people regard it as a great humiliation for the French nation and keep it in mind. While advocating for national reconciliation between the two countries, it is still better not to spoil it for some vanity in face.
At present, the speed of national reconciliation between Germany and France has caused many experts to break their glasses. Even Petain did not expect the process to be so smooth. The French people showed their enthusiasm for the olive branch extended by the German side. Agree and welcome. Now German officers and soldiers walking on the streets of France no longer feel the hatred of the people around them, and they will get the same service as the French when they enter and exit various consumer places. No one will spit in the coffee they ask for, Dust is scattered in the soup. Xu Jun is very pleased with this good trend. Reconciliation with the French is the most important step in his European strategy. The success of this step will directly affect the introduction of a series of policies and the formulation of development plans. . The alliance between the two European powers will become the firm cornerstone of the new European order conceived by Xu Jun.
So, Xu Jun can't overemphasize the relationship between Germany and France. This time the conflict in French Indochina gave Xu Jun an excellent opportunity to show the French people the friendly will of the German government and the importance it attaches to the covenant. Germany will give its allies all the support they need without hesitation.
"This thing is a bunch of worthless empty talk. What we need is their most sincere apology and compensation to our satisfaction. We are not blackmailers and will not ask them to pay more than the actual loss value. Germany has shown sufficient restraint and kindness. They should respond seriously to our kindness, but what are these. Do you want to humiliate the Third Reich? You should not accept this garbage at all, you should This thing was thrown directly onto O’Osima (Oshima)’s face.” Xu Jun closed the documents in front of him and patted Ribbentrop’s chest. The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs looked pale and watched the stack of documents scattered. On the carpet under the feet.
"Return this thing to the Japanese and tell them that our request has been clearly written in the protest letter. Other issues are not within the scope of this negotiation. Regarding the German request, they There is only agreement or disapproval. There is no third choice." Xu Jun stood up and turned around the desk and walked to Ribbentrop. He stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.
"During this period of time, I can see your performance in my eyes. I can say that I am very satisfied. It seems that the previous lessons have changed you. I also mentioned your current situation in the letter to Minister Niu Wright. Tell him that he should look at you with admiration. But this time, Joachim, you need to learn how to judge and think..." After that, Xu Jun shook his head with an expression of indisputable disappointment.
"I'm very sorry, my head of state." The voice of the Deputy Foreign Minister moved by Xu Jun's words began to tremble.
"I don't need you to apologize to me, I just need to see the final result, Mr. Ribbentrop, now pick up the documents on the ground." Xu Jun patted the former vintner's arm again. Turned back to the desk and sat down.
"There are the compensation conditions that I have determined after discussing with President Petain. In the document, I have granted you full power to conduct diplomatic negotiations on behalf of the German government. You should pay attention to the black lines in the provisions. Click on the request. This is our final bottom line, and there is absolutely no room for changes." Xu Jun took out a folder from the desk drawer. The cover is covered with a dazzling top-secret document stamp.
"Yes, my head of state." Ribbentrop couldn't help being overjoyed. After a few months, he was once again given full diplomatic power by the head of state. He regarded this as a signal to regain Xu Jun's respect. Ribbentrop saw hope of returning to the throne of Minister of Foreign Affairs. After all, Niu Wright is very old, and sooner or later he will retire from a diplomatic post.
"As for their question, wait until the negotiation result comes out. I don't want to see them yet." Xu Jun took out a report from the file box next to his desk, and then faced Ribbentro Just made a withdrawal gesture.
"Understood, my head of state, hi! Reinhardt!" Ribbentrop sucked his stomach and bowed his hand, then turned and exited the office with two documents.
"My head of state, Ribbentrop has been very dedicated during this time. As far as I know, he has been running between Berlin and European countries in order to complete your mission." Weierle walked to Xu Jun's At the desk, I put a cup of green tea on the table.
"Do you think I'm too harsh on him?" Xu Jun held up the green tea, lowered his head and sniffed the tea lightly.
"Well, maybe it's a little bit. This is a slippery guy, very social, but his mind is not smart enough, and he has ambitions beyond his personal ability, so at some point he must be given a certain amount of Under pressure, he will really use his brain to think about things."
"Understood, my head of state, I am ashamed that I didn't see your intentions." Weierle owed his body after speaking.
"You did a great job, Weiller, I need someone to remind me of these details." Xu Jun took a sip of green tea, and then picked up a pen from the pen holder in front of the table, The signature of the report signed his name.
"My head of state, please forgive my curiosity. What exactly did the Japanese reply say?" Weierle asked respectfully. He hadn't read the document and didn't know why Xu Jun was furious.
"They explained the conflict. They confirmed that it was a man-made accident. Because the army battalion commander had misunderstood the orders of his superiors, he made the wrong decision. Severe punishment." Xu Jun replied while reading another report.
"They want to shirk responsibility?"
"That's not true. They acknowledged that all the responsibility for the incident lies with Japan, and they are willing to apologize to the German and French governments for this matter." Xu Jun put down the document and said while looking at Weierle.
"They want to close the matter secretly and do not want to make the matter public in the world. This is something I cannot accept. What's more outrageous is that they want to use money to bribe us and ask us to put pressure on France. No longer go into this incident. At the same time, they still miss the issue of the northern border of French Indochina, asking me to support their passage and garrison in northern French Indochina~IndoMTL.com~ and ask France to cut off French Indochina and All traffic and connections in China. They think they are someone, but they think Germany will act according to their wishes." Xu Jun sneered and took a sip of his tea.
"It sounds a little unreasonable, but my head of state, I believe Ribbentrop will let them put their positions right." Weirler smiled and comforted.
"They want to find out where our bottom line is. Oosima is a German expert. He knows our way of thinking very well. He will not make such low-level mistakes. When dealing with Japanese, you must The performance is tough enough that if they can't dispel the delusions of these people at one time and make them feel they have the opportunity to take advantage of them, they will have to make an inch of it and make various unrealistic demands. They have been doing this for decades. We We must take this opportunity to draw a red line for them to ensure that they will not interfere with our deployment and strategy in a short period of time. I think these Japanese will soon understand that any tricks in front of us will not work. You must show actual benefits to get tolerance from Germany.” Xu Jun finished speaking and gently placed the teacup on the desk.
