In June 1940, in order to humiliate France and avenge Germany's defeat in World War I, Hitler accepted France's surrender in the train car of the Compiègne Forest, sitting on the same chair used by Marshal Foch, the French representative, when France and Germany signed the armistice agreement in 1918.

At 1:30 p.m. on June 13, 1941, when the British Foreign Secretary Eden arrived in Berlin with a negotiating mission, he was treated in a very different way.

Ribbentrop personally went to the airport to greet Aiden and his party.

When shaking hands with Aiden, Ribbentrop did not have the arrogance and complacency of a victor on his face, but was humble and low-key, as if he was greeting friends from afar, giving Aiden and others enough face.

Ribbentrop personally sent Aiden and his entourage to the Adlon Hotel, where they stayed, and more than two hours later, German Führer Hitler arrived at the Adlon Hotel and held a welcome reception with Aiden and others.

In the anticipation of countless journalists from all over the world, and in the anxiety of Aiden and others, Hitler stepped onto the podium at the reception site, spoke in a hoarse voice, and said humbly: "The war between Germany and Britain for nearly two years has caused indelible psychological trauma to the two countries and countless families, and has also brought incalculable material losses to the two countries. In this war, both Germany and Britain were victims, and no one was the winner.

Fortunately, the war was stopped in time with the joint efforts of German and British peacemakers before the loss of life on both sides escalated to the scale of the last great war.

At the end of the last war. Because of the harsh Treaty of Versailles drawn up by the French and British governments, Marshal Foch of France once said that this was not peace. This is a truce of twenty years.

Today, another great war is over, and I do not want a certain marshal in Germany to say the same thing as Marshal Foch; Nor do we want a new generation of young people from Germany and England to meet again in twenty years' time, so please ask Mr. Eden, and His Majesty King George VI across the Channel. Mr. Attlee, and millions of people in the United Kingdom, rest assured. Germany would not impose harsh terms on Britain for peace talks.

In this peace talks, Germany will put forward three major demands. ”

When Hitler said this, the reporters in the audience were even more energetic, and the reception turned out to be really exciting news.

Aiden and other members of the British delegation kept a straight face. Staring at Hitler on the stage, waiting for his "final verdict".

Hitler whetted the appetite of everyone in the audience by drinking water, and then put down the water glass in his hand and continued: "First, Britain must apologize for the invasion of Norway and make certain material compensation, the specific amount of which will be negotiated between the British government and the Norwegian government.

Second, Britain must compensate Britain for the years since it declared war on Germany. The material damage inflicted on Germany included the wear and tear of the army, navy and air force weapons, and pensions for the dead and wounded combatants. As well as the various property losses caused by the bombing of the German mainland, the specific amount will be decided by the diplomatic departments of the two countries after consultation, and Germany is not a profiteer, and will not ask for sky-high prices, which the British government can rest assured.

Thirdly, Britain must compensate all the German people for the moral losses suffered by the war. It's just that I hope for compensation not in money, but in a sincere apology from the British government.

We all know that. Mr. Chamberlain, who started the war, died in November last year.

Mr. Churchill, who had amplified the war, was lying in a hospital bed.

Therefore, Mr. Attlee can only be asked to issue an apology on his behalf to make up for the trauma suffered by the German people.

I hope that the diplomats of the two countries will be able to reach a final agreement as soon as possible, which will bring true peace to the German and British peoples. ”

After Hitler stepped down, Ribbentrop and Eden came to the stage one after another, each delivered a short speech, and answered questions from reporters, and then the drinking party began

The banquet halls of the Adlon Hotel are crowded with people, but in the country houses of Bavaria in southern Germany, the scene is different.

On the eve of the arrival of the British mission, the great Imperial Marshal left Berlin with a heart attack and flew again to the Bavarian countryside to recuperate.

The night after Goering moved into the villa, two cars drove into the villa.

In Goering's quiet office, Goering, Chen Dao, Matsuoka, and Hiroshi Oshima, the Japanese ambassador to Germany, sat around the coffee table.

"This is the situation, because of the difference in geographical location, and because the surrounding neighbors are too strong, so Germany must negotiate peace with Britain to eliminate the hidden danger of fighting on two fronts, even if it is a good opportunity to give up the occupation of India, I hope you can understand." Goering said.

"The Soviet Union in the east of Germany and the United States on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean are two powerful countries with great military power, and the relationship with Germany is very complicated, especially the Soviet Union, which is a rude and greedy country. For the sake of Germany's future peace and tranquility, and in order to be able to concentrate all its energies on dealing with the Soviet Union, Germany must stop the war with Great Britain, especially on the premise that Britain takes the initiative to sue for peace. Chen Dao continued.

Matsuoka leaned forward on his right hand and thanked Goering with his chin.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Marshal and General Lawson for your understanding, and I think His Majesty the Emperor and Prime Minister Konoe can understand your country's suffering. Then the war against Britain will be continued by our country. ”

Chen Dao said: "You are too polite, Mr. Matsuoka, Japan is an ally of Germany, a member of the Axis powers, Japan's strength is the strength of the Axis powers, and Germany sincerely hopes that its ally is a strong ally."

Britain is at its most vulnerable, and it is also the best time for Japan to seize British overseas colonies and weaken Britain, and this opportunity must not be missed.

As an ally, Germany could not continue to send troops into the war, but we could assist Japan in other ways.

We will promptly inform Japan of the British military movement information, and we will also use the peace talks to delay the return of British prisoners of war."

Goering then interjected: "If your country needs any military supplies, just ask, with me, the price will surely satisfy you." ”

Matsuoka happily bowed again to Goering and Chen Dao, and then asked a crucial question: "Will our Quadrilateral talks with the Soviet Union continue?" I listen to His Excellency the Field Marshal, is Germany going to war with the USSR? ”

"Of course, the negotiations must continue, and if the Soviet Union can be resolved by peaceful means, it will be undesirable for both of our countries."

"This is very good, if the Soviet Union can be resolved in a peaceful way and the Soviet Union can be drawn into our alliance, our country can also concentrate all its military forces to attack the Pacific without worries." Yoyo Matsuoka said excitedly.

Hiroshi Oshima suddenly asked, "General Rosen, I wonder what you think of our country's strategy in the Pacific region?" Can you advise? ”

Chen Dao looked at Hiroshi Oshima, who looked particularly energetic when he had a high nose, thick eyebrows, and closed lips.

Hiroshi Oshima's affection for Germany, in the words of later generations, was a spiritual German, or rather a die-hard fan of Germany.

During his tenure as ambassador to Germany, Hiroshi Oshima completely Germanized himself.

His military uniform is made in the clothing store frequented by the German ** officer, and the hat is also the style of the German Army, with a high brim and a large German coat. In short, except that he is relatively short, he is exactly the same as a German ** official.

Hiroshi Oshima looked at Chen Dao's eyes with enthusiasm and fiery, like a young girl looking at her lover, which made Chen Dao cry out and couldn't bear it.

If he didn't know that he was a straight man and a loyal fan of himself, he would have found a way to send him to a concentration camp for labor reform, and it was disgusting that he dared to look at Ben Gang with such ambiguous eyes.

After Chen Dao complained silently, he met Hiroshi Oshima's obsessive gaze and said, "Mr. Oshima, my advice is not to be blinded by greed. I suggest that your country should demarcate the scope of its attack in Southeast Asia, and that after occupying Southeast Asia, it should find every means of an armistice with the British, and then recuperate. ”

"Why?" Hiroshi Oshima asked.

Matsuoka Yoyo also stared eagerly at Chen Dao, waiting for Chen Dao's guidance.

"The reason is very simple, there is a United States on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, if Japan expands too quickly in the Pacific region, it will definitely accelerate the pace of the United States into the war, at that time, Japan will face the attack of the two great powers, just like Germany has to fight on two fronts, the situation will be extremely dangerous, so I hope that your ** department can carefully delineate the boundaries of expansion, stop the war with Britain in a timely manner, and avoid fighting on two fronts." Chen Dao said.

"Heinz is right, no matter what, we must avoid fighting on two fronts, this is the case with Germany, and the same is true with Japan, please convey Heinz's words to your ** department." After Goering finished speaking, he covered his mouth and yawned heavily.

Seeing this, Yoyo Matsuoka and Hiroshi Oshima took their leave in time with great discernment.

Seeing them off, Goering said, "Your advice is very reasonable, but my intuition tells me that they will not listen to you. ”

"I knew they wouldn't listen to me, that's why I told them." Chen Dao said.

"It's better not to listen, otherwise how can we make money on them?" Goering said.

Chen Dao sneered a few times and said, "They will soon know that in this world, if they come out to mix, sooner or later they will have to pay it back." (To be continued)
