Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 349: Negotiation (4)
After the usual polite greetings, the host and guests entered the Champs Elysees restaurant in a harmonious atmosphere. [Fight Breaking Sky
][No pop-up window..] At that time, French dining was completely different from later generations. It was still more affordable, rich in ingredients and exquisite cooking, the most important thing was that it was delicious and abundant. In later generations, the so-called "French meals" used for arty decorations are completely different from the French cuisine of the time. The French meals at that time can indeed feed a strong man.
Speaking of Annan, this country does have its own unique advantages. In addition to the special geographical environment, it also has abundant natural resources. So in addition to the usual fruits, rice and livestock, there are also a variety of game and seafood dishes. Many ingredients are rarely encountered even in Europe.
The friendship between Kong Xiangxi and Brumberg is not very deep. During his visit to Germany, he met several times because of official business, mainly about meeting and talking about weapons procurement. Even if it is the fate of several faces, both sides have left deep memories.
Brumberg recalled that period of history. He was still the energetic commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht, and he was ambitious to inherit Seckett's will and re-establish a powerful Wehrmacht that could dominate the European Union. Blumberg’s mistake was that he was too eager to break the original German military command structure. He tried to transform the War Department into a joint command and put its command over the three services.
Hitler, who likes to play with balance and restraint, is very interested in this idea, but sadly his idea violates the rights of the Air Force and offends the Air Force Commander Goering from the bottom of his heart. And his contempt for the national leader of the SS also caused Himmler's envy. In the eyes of these two sinister enemies, the field marshal became a trouble that must be eliminated.
Finally, because he repeatedly persuaded Hitler to give up his adventurous war attempts, Hitler finally gave up his heart and began to consider abandoning the commander of the Wehrmacht, whom he had high hopes for. Himmler, who sensed the Führer's wishes, took the opportunity to give a few tricks, and Goering charged forward, and only used a low-level scandal to oust the minister of war.
The marshal seemed to have completely lost his interest in the war before being reactivated by Xu Jun. He took his charming wife and lived in the Bavarian countryside to pass the time by brewing cider and fishing on horseback. [Indestructible Dragon Emperor] When Xu Jun’s call-up order was sent to the marshal, he originally thought he would be unmoved. In these years, he had long been tired of the perfunctory and lies repeated by Hitler and his party members. . But then he found that he could not resist that temptation at all, and he realized that the flame in his heart had not been extinguished from beginning to end.
He loves his country, Germany, and he still loves that career. So he decided to accept Xu Jun's call to meet the new head of state, not to regain the lost power, but because of the responsibility given by heaven. He is von Blenberg, the marshal of the German army. How could he allow himself to stay out of the way when his colleagues and descendants sacrificed for the motherland?
"So I told him that the order of the Führer is above all else, and every German soldier must bear this in mind." Blumberg pulled off the napkin between the collar and wiped the corners of his mouth, then put the napkin on the table Corner.
"You are so right, there is no doubt about it, sir." Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig nodded respectfully in agreement.
"At that time, the German Cypriot Legion was on our left flank, and on the other side was the German 5th Armored Division. My infantry brigade was trapped between two beasts and could not move. So I called the headquarters and answered the phone. It's Colonel Victor, that's a thoroughbred donkey..." At the other end of the table, Colonel Louis de Savigny told his colleagues aloud his experience on the European battlefield to his colleagues. It's a rare opportunity that the French seem to drink a little too much.
"What a fascinating experience, Colonel Savignyan, we have time to chat in private. I would love to continue listening to your adventures. Now you may be able to go for a walk in the garden. Mr. Marshal, Mr. Minister. , I suggest to go to the lounge and smoke a cigar." Let Degu put down his napkin, clapped his hands gently, and announced the end of the dinner.
After a meal of mutual trial, I have roughly figured out the other's attitude, and now it's time to talk about business.
The restaurant is well-equipped with a dedicated lounge and recreation room, where people often hold salons on weekdays.
Kong Xiangxi was already a little drunk at this time, but he was very interested, because he could not see any signs of disgust with the government and himself in Blumberg. The Minister of Finance finally let go of his uneasy heart. He saw the hope of accomplishing this mission. If he can impress the marshal, let him clarify with Berlin a little bit, and let the head of state calm his anger, so that subsequent negotiations will be easy. a lot of. [Doubreaking the sky]
Let Deku put the Germans and Chinese into the lounge, and then evaded himself on the grounds that the Governor's Mansion still had some trivial matters to be dealt with. The colonial Governor knew that the two groups had important issues to discuss. It is not appropriate to be caught in the middle.
The host and guest were divided into several waves according to their respective job levels, and they sat in this spacious lounge. The decoration of the lounge is very elegant, and the French boss has put some thought into it. The wool embroidered carpet comes from Turkey, the bronzing carved furniture comes from Italy, and the pastel vases from the Qing Dynasty of China are placed on the table made in France. The luxuries of various origins are placed together in harmony here, making this room The room not only has the elegance and luxury of the Western palace, but also contains a trace of the dream and mystery of the Eastern world.
"Mr. Minister, I know you have many things to discuss with me." Brumberg took out the cigarette case from his pocket.
"Before this, I need you to give me an explanation. Why your relatives and employees of your subordinate companies participated in the kidnapping of Germans. Don’t deny these. We have obtained sufficient evidence and you The investigation report given is proof." Blumberg leaned in front of the adjutant's lighter and lit his cigarette.
"I can fully explain this, Your Excellency Marshal." Blumberg asked so bluntly that it made Kong Xianxi feel a little uncomfortable.
"This is our latest investigation report, and we have all translated into German." Secretary Tan took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Blumberg's deputy Colonel Davidson.
"In this matter, I admit that my daughter made a serious mistake. She did not seriously screen the recruits of her staff. Especially at this time when Japanese spies are everywhere, this is unforgivable. However, from another point of view, she is also a victim. Those traitors also deceived and betrayed her trust, which caused her to suffer a lot of harm.
Now she feels extremely guilty and sad about this matter, and is willing to express deep repentance and sincere condolences to the families of the victim pilots. Here is a check for fifty thousand gold marks and an autograph letter written by my wife and I, hoping to be passed to the pilot’s family by the German government. This is not compensation, but also some condolences and hearts as parents. "Kong Xiangxi took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the table.
"I'll convey your condolences to the family of Lieutenant Gerhardt, Mr. Minister." Blumberg passed the envelope to Colonel Davidson.
"Whether to accept your explanation, I still need to read the report carefully before I can make a decision. But I can feel your sincerity, which touches me very much, Mr. Minister." Blumberg said with appreciation. Speaking of the head.
"However, this incident made the Imperial Command very embarrassing. I hope you can understand this. This is no longer a problem with the Air Force, but a big problem that the entire Imperial Command was alarmed. The Führer was very angry about this. , Can be said to be thunderous." Blumberg dusted the soot.
"Never has any country dared to trample on the goodwill of the Third Reich like this, never before." Colonel Davidson added.
"Especially some of the details in this incident." Baron Le Bernau said with a stern face with a cigar between his fingers.
"This morning, Deputy Minister Ribbentrop of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has summoned your country’s ambassador to Berlin and submitted a second letter of protest. This matter touched on the authority and dignity of the Third Reich. I think you should be able to I understand. I will forward a copy of the investigation report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but what kind of judgment the superior will make depends on the current performance of your government. To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with all your responses so far. Trying to perfuse and fool us, the longer the delay, the more disadvantaged you will be. I think Mr. Minister should understand this question best." Le Bernau pointed at Kong Xiangxi with a cigar and said.
"I know how severe this incident has affected the relations between the two countries. The chairman also told me that he is very grateful for the restraint shown by the German government in this incident. We promise to give Germany a satisfactory Explain, that's why I came here to explain the whole thing to the marshal and ask for your understanding." Kong Xiangxi explained sincerely.
"Well, I will go back and read this investigation report carefully, Mr. Minister. This incident is very serious. It is impossible for China to pay some price for it. Is your country’s chairman of the committee well thought about it? Prepare." Blumberg said.
"We are willing to make compensation and compensation to bear any losses suffered by Germany in this incident." Kong Xiangxi breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, he was ready to benefit. Saying this kind of statement shows that the other party does not want to If things are done absolutely, you can also communicate in the next step.
At this time, I was most afraid that the other party didn't want to listen to anything like a piece of elm gada, but just blindly put all kinds of pressure on the government, until the land was surrendered and the compensation was kneeling down and begging for mercy. If it were me, it would be commonplace, but with the current situation in China, the state government would never agree to it.
"We have also studied the requirements of Germany. The government believes that it is generally acceptable, but some details need to be discussed again." Kong Xiangxi reached out to the secretary, and the other party pulled out a document and placed it in his Hands.
"We will compensate for the loss of all aircraft, equipment, and personal belongings at the price. We will also give every German officer and soldier a considerable amount of condolences. We will also award all German pilots who have participated in air combat and won a national Baoding Medal, and corresponding bonuses are given as rewards. All the food, play, housing and transportation expenses of the task force in Chongqing are borne by the government, and only a bill is required afterwards. We are also preparing to sign a contract with Germany to purchase arms and equipment The trade agreement also gives German companies various convenient policies and preferential policies for all commercial activities in the government-controlled area. The German side can send professionals to discuss the specific provisions with us in detail." Kong Xiangxi read the document while holding the document.
"Is there any taxation and material flow convenience involved?" Dr. Pan Ke suddenly interjected.
"Of course, all of this is negotiable." Kong Xiangxi nodded and replied.
"We also need an official letter of apology from the Chinese government to the Greater German Empire." Le Bernau said.
"You can follow your request not to make it public, but you must apologize." Blumberg added.
"There is no problem at all. The chairman has personally assured me that ~IndoMTL.com~ will make a sincere apology to the German Empire." Kong Xiangxi did not expect that the Germans would agree not to disclose the state's apology to the outside world. This is The face-saving Jiang Zhongzheng has the most headache.
Kong Xiangxi had already made a secret decision. After returning, he had a good attitude with several subordinates, saying that he had tried his best to obtain the consent of the German talents. Isn't it a great achievement in vain?
"Very well, Mr. Minister, in this way, we will have a basis to continue talking." Brumberg smiled again.
Please ask for monthly tickets, ask for recommended tickets. The average booking data in this book is actually included even the data from a few years ago. I can only watch this number drop day by day. To be honest, it really feels very good. Frustrated. I have spent so much time and effort writing books, but the number of subscriptions is far less than that of several books of the same kind, which is really not good.
