Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 56: Discussion
"This...this is really..." Weierle took off the monocle from his eye socket and handed the telegram to the curious Daogen.
"Unbelievable, I have the same feeling as you. It's ridiculous." The imperial head dang a cigar, bent down and sat on a Greek-style patio chair woven from tree and rattan. The Italian waiter on the side delivered it. Freshly brewed Darjeeling black tea.
"How are you going to reply to Colonel Davidson?" Weierle asked cautiously.
"Send another investigation team? The investigation team we sent to Asia in the past two months is almost ready." Xu Jun put the cigar on the ashtray and waved to the Italian waiters on both sides. Back down.
"I will not send any more people over, I will choose from the people left behind in French Indochina. That... Captain Stoffenberg, I remember he is now in Hanoi waiting to return to Berlin, and now I have to postpone him The original itinerary is up." Xu Jun picked up the black tea cup and looked up at Disenhofen.
The adjutant nodded respectfully, indicating that it had been strictly checked, and the Führer lowered his head and took a sip.
"The earl? My head of state, I have read the report he sent back, and I can see that his administrative ability is very good." Weirler sat down on a chair on the other side of the round table and followed the tea set. I took a new teacup in the plate.
"He is indeed an excellent officer. I am going to be promoted to major after he returns." Xu Jun put the teacup back on the table, and picked up the half-sucked cigar again.
"You can grant him full authority and order him to select people to form a capable team to be responsible for the investigation of this incident." Weierle suggested. "As I thought, Weierle, you should draft this telegram. At the same time, send the promotion order as a small compensation for delaying his return." A smile appeared on the corner of the imperial head of state.
"Yes, my head of state. Then how should Colonel Davidson respond?"
"Let the special envoy send up a detailed report first. I will not make a hasty decision until the investigation of the incident is clear. Remember to ask them to take a few more pictures of Shanghai city. If possible, it is best Use an airplane to take aerial photos." The head of state is very eager to see the scene of his hometown in this time and space.
"Then you mean to leave the special mission on standby and stay in the Shanghai concession before you make a decision?" Weierle asked tentatively.
"When I replied, I said that considering Marshal Blumberg’s health, the special envoy stayed in Shanghai temporarily and transferred a capable medical team from Berlin. The choice of personnel... Leave it to the Eye of Odin to arrange."
"Understood, my head of state, in this way, the Japanese side will definitely be anxious to explain to you..."
"Of course they will. Oshima Hiroshi is in Rome now, but I don't know if he already knows this happened." Xu Jun took a cigar.
"It's hard to say, my head of state. This is really a bad guy, and his colleagues in the country must think the same way." Weierle said with a smile.
"I will not see him for the time being, let Ribbentrop go to meet him, and let him tell the Japanese that the special envoy will not go anywhere until the truth of the assassination is not clear. Lov convened media reporters in Rome. This is a very serious diplomatic incident. The Third Reich should express its attitude to the world. We feel extremely dissatisfied with the despicable assassination of the German envoy. Indignation." Xu Jun picked up a small cookie from the snack plate.
"Wait a minute, my Führer." Weierle made notes in the notebook.
"My head, who do you think was the assassination of Lord Blumberg?" Daogen stood by and asked, and he put the telegram in Xu Jun's hand.
"Obviously, it was planned by the Japanese." Xu Jun tapped the telegram with his finger.
"Jiang Zhongzheng of Chongqing had previously guaranteed the safety of the marshal. Although this person had a poor credit history, I believe in my own vision on this matter. He has no reason and no need to use this. This is a crude method to provoke Germany. Did you see the scene described in the telegram? The assassin was chanting anti-Japanese slogans. There is a phrase in Chinese called "to cover up and show up"." The last idiom was spoken in standard Mandarin. .
"The meaning of this phrase is to conceal the truth of an event, but to make the truth more prominent." Looking at the dazed subordinate, the head of state smiled and explained.
"I understand, this assassin is misleading the witnesses at the scene, wanting to make people think that he was sent from Chongqing." Daogen hammered his palm.
"This can explain that the assassin's goal is the reason for the Marshal. They want to destroy the relationship between Germany and Chongqing. It seems that our cooperation with Chongqing has made some people very dissatisfied." Weierle Speaking of holding black tea,
“In fact, there is another subject of major suspicion, that is, Wang Zhaoming’s Nanjing government. It is said that they are very dissatisfied with Germany’s refusal to recognize the legitimacy of this regime. They have a special agency in Shanghai, which is completely The ability to send an assassin to create this assassination, and plant the Chongqing side, this is their usual method.
They probably want to use this to destroy the good relationship between Germany and Chongqing. Because if we fall out with Chongqing, they can take advantage of the emptiness to enter into contact with us, and eventually induce us to recognize their regime and completely fall to their side. "Xu Jun pinched the cigar head out in the ashtray.
"Since Nanjing has such a big suspicion, why did you think it was planned by the Japanese before?" Dogen was a little puzzled.
"Is there a difference between the two? In this matter, the purpose of Japan and Nanjing should be the same. It may even be that the two jointly planned this incident. I believe that Japan is behind the scenes. People, that’s because without the consent of the Japanese side, the Nanjing side would have no guts to do such a thing.
Know that the next stop of the special mission is to visit Japan. The report sent by the Tokyo Embassy has already stated very clearly that Japan attaches great importance to this visit, and the city of Tokyo has already prepared a comprehensive and detailed In preparation for the reception, they even conducted more than a dozen rehearsals for the welcome event in advance. It can be said that the whole country in Japan is looking forward to the arrival of Marshal Blumberg.
So no matter who sabotaged this major diplomatic activity, the Japanese side will definitely not spare the planner of this incident. The Nanjing side will not be aware of this, so they definitely have no guts to do it alone. "Xu Jun finished speaking and took a bite of a small biscuit.
"What you mean is that the Japanese attach great importance to the visit of the marshal, and will not allow anyone to sabotage, so how could they plan this assassination? This logically makes no sense at all, my head of state." Dagen was completely confused.
"You are right, Dagen, people usually think that way, but the problem is that Japan is not a country that can be viewed with normal thinking." Xu Jun put the bite of the cookie on Tea cups on the tray.
"To understand the behavior of the Japanese, you must understand their history and culture. If you understand this, you will find that this is a very magical country.
In the past thousands of years, this country has never been truly unified. Most of the time, they kept their balance in the form of a tribal alliance. They never really experienced the feudal era of great unification. Until the nineteenth century, they still retained the shadow of slavery. The subjects were the personal property of the lord. As long as the lord wanted, he could deprive any of the subjects of the property. Even the life of this person.
Even during the rule of the shogunate, each feudal lord still retained a large amount of autonomous power, and could even launch wars against foreign countries without the approval of the shogunate.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan jumped directly from a semi-feudal and semi-slavery society to a constitutional monarchy society, but the traditions, ideas, laws, and moral systems that maintained the old system were still intact.
The Japanese are just as loyal to the feudal lord in the past. They only loyal to the group they belong to. At the same time, they only care about the interests of their own group. As long as they are deemed to be beneficial to their organization, they will go all out to do it. Will consider the ideas of other groups, and will not consider the possibility of serious damage to the country in the end. "Xu Jun tapped the desktop lightly.
"I remember that the Japanese are all loyal to their emperor, my head of state." Disenhofen interjected, and he made a new cup of tea for Xu Jun.
"This is not a contradiction, thank you, Disenhofen. Because when they make these decisions, they will declare that they are doing it for the emperor. They will say that they are doing it all for the country and the decisions they made. , It will be more beneficial to Japan. It cannot be denied that many Japanese people really believe this, but in fact, most of the time, the group and some individuals they belong to are ultimately benefited." Xu Jun said with a sneer.
"God, do they really believe this? Who will judge these ideas as correct? This is ridiculous." Daogen exclaimed.
"No one, the players and referees are themselves~IndoMTL.com~ What happened in Shanghai this time is most likely planned by a small number of Japanese soldiers. The reason is of course, "This is more beneficial to Japan and the Emperor. "." The empire head finished speaking and put down the teacup in his hand.
"Is it necessary to inform the investigation team and special mission of your judgment?" Weierle asked.
"No, don't influence the judgment of front-line personnel, maybe there will be more interesting discoveries." Xu Jun said with a smile.
"My head of state, the relatives of His Excellency Mussolini have arrived." At this time, Disenhofen reported from the side. Xu Jun looked up and found an Italian army colonel not far away.
"This is Colonel Santini who escorted his family." The adjutant introduced.
"The weather is good and the air in the garden is better. Let him bring his family here." Xu Jun said to Disenhofen.
"Yes, my head."
"Get some more chairs."
"Yes, my head."
"Don't forget there are tea and snacks."
"Yes, my head."
"Bring more of these little biscuits."
"Yes, my head."
