Chapter Seventy-One: The Enemy Meets
"According to you, our military assistance to China can be said to be very precious and weighty. So, how much did our Chinese friends reciprocate us? "Being a German through and through, it was only natural that Sickert would have thought of German interests first.
Reinhardt hurriedly quibbled: "Germany has naturally received a lot of benefits, and China has provided a large number of non-ferrous metal ores urgently needed by the German military industry, especially rare metals such as tungsten and molybdenum, as well as pig bristles, tung oil, rubber and other resources. β
Sickert shook his head dissatisfied: "If this is the case, this deal will be too expensive." Germany's contribution is obviously much higher than China's. After a pause, Sickert sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, who let Germany lack these resources." If we rely only on imports from the USSR, we will also be subject to the USSR in the future. As much as you can import from China, you can export as much as you want. β
After listening, Reinhardt breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the "business" he did was completely based on his love for his former motherland. These resource swaps are secondary, but they are important.
"By the way, there is a Japanese guest who is secretly going to Germany this afternoon, you can go and receive it." Sickert smiled and encouraged: "I hope you can seek more benefits for Germany from this Japanese friend." β
Due to the heavy affairs of Germany now, the professional military strategist Sickert and the politician Gustav share the burden. Therefore, Reinhardt and his subordinates also have some free time on weekdays. At this moment, Steve Steve, chief of the general staff of the SS, and Ross, the deputy chief of the Gestapo, were following Reinhardt.
Hearing that Reinhardt was going to be in charge of meeting with the man from the Japanese Empire, both Steve and Rose couldn't help but jump in their eyelids. On weekdays, they don't hear their young leader express his disgust for the Japanese, which is a kind of contempt for the entire Japanese nation!
In Reinhardt's mouth, the Japanese are simply a collection of all despicable. They include: selfishness, greed, cowardice, jealousy, malice, stupidity, madness, lust, and disobedience...... including the dark side of almost all humanity.
Steve and Ross could not understand why Reinhardt, who had never been to Japan, hated the people so much that his attitude surpassed even the general resistance of Europeans to Jews.
The representative sent by Japan was a rear admiral Reinhardt had never heard of, Kuko Umegawa. A general who is as young as him, only about 30 years old.
The meeting took place in a private apartment owned by Reinhardt, where Kuko Umegawa and Reinhardt participated as plenipotentiaries of each country.
"Hello, Major General Kuko Umegawa. The fact that your country has appointed you with full authority to come and communicate with us is enough to see that your position in the country is not low. It's not easy to have such a status at your age! Reinhardt's face was full of spring breeze, as enthusiastic as seeing an old friend who would never meet again, and Steve and Rose broke out in a cold sweat as they watched.
"Admiral Reinhardt is too modest." Umegawa Kuko, who didn't know the plot of Jang Seung-tian's hatred, smiled and praised in German: "Compared with you of the same age, my grades are far from enough." β
Want to be like me?! Reinhardt is full of contempt, am I comparable to you Japanese dwarf?
Without the slightest indication of Reinhardt's psychological activities, Umegawa Kuko, who has a first-class command of German, politely boasted: "Admiral Reinhardt, at a young age, participated in the planning of Operation Rainbow to quell the Karp riot and eradicate the forces of the old domestic army group. Your experience can be called a legend. β
Done your research? This was Reinhardt's first reaction. It seems that Japan's intelligence capabilities in World War II are indeed not boasting. Reinhardt secretly exclaimed, no wonder China was hit by the Japanese seven inches in succession at the beginning of the war.
Seeing that Reinhardt was overturned, Rose, who was sitting next to him, also took out the Gestapo's investigation materials-for-tat and introduced: "Rear Admiral Umegawa Kuko, who defected to Japanese Prime Minister Inukai Takeshi in the early stage, led a police team to arrest the leader of the Navy Young Zhuang faction, and strangled an imminent coup d'Γ©tat in the cradle. Later, he switched to Admiral Saiji Tomon and used the secret police to assassinate his former superior, Inu-Yogi. Admiral Saikito, who is now the leader of the new cabinet of the Imperial Japan, should be cultivated and reused as a disciple of the will. β
Is this worth it?! This Umegawa Kuko is simply the Japanese version of Reinhardt, and even the means of getting on top are the same! Reinhardt, who was sitting in a chair, almost jumped up and asked Umegawa Kuko why she "copied herself".
Seeing Reinhardt's face change, Kuko Umegawa strengthened her speculation. This "Nazi Demon King", who became famous earlier than history, is a traverser just like himself!
That's right, the current Umegawa Kuko is the "big brother" who cuckolded Reinhardt before the crossing. Before the crossing, he also had a Chinese name, Xiao Yao. After inviting Reinhardt, who used to be an otaku, to attend his wedding at sea, Umegawa Kuko and Reinhardt also experienced the shipwreck in Bermuda and traveled to the present era.
Without any hesitation, Kuko Umegawa, who was used to being a big brother and had a decisive personality before the crossing, immediately invited Reinhardt to the side to discuss some private matters in detail.
Umegawa Kuko's assistant, Hiroshi Oshima, military attache of the Japanese Embassy in Germany, also brought the talks back to the topic: "We of the Imperial Japanese Empire have come to Germany with good intentions, and we hope that our German friends can reach a consensus with us." β
Since Kuko Umegawa, as the representative of Japan, and Reinhardt, the representative of Germany, were whispering something on the side, the negotiators on the German side were replaced by Steve and Ross.
"My old mantra was 'what you can do yourself, never give it to others,' and you've probably heard it." Umegawa Kuko said lightly: "Tell me, who are you?" β
Seeing that Umegawa Kuko used his previous mantra to reveal his identity, Reinhardt also replied unequivocally: "I haven't heard of it, I've never heard of it." Who am I....... Didn't you just read all of my information? You know that. β
Hearing this familiar nonsense tone, Umegawa Kuko frowned. He didn't want to have the same experience as himself, he could have been a partner after the crossing, but he was the unserious otaku.
"Are you Zhang?" Umegawa Kuko hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.
"It's not me!" Reinhardt's head shook quickly, and there was a hint of banter in his tone.
The moment Reinhardt stopped shaking his head and looked at Kuko Umekawa. Both sides found a layer of meaning in each other's eyes that they couldn't read when they first met.
Perhaps this is a mentality that has just emerged. Now both are surprised by this coincidence, while also worrying about the conversation that follows.
Before the crossing, Kuko Umegawa left too many shadows on the once somewhat autistic otaku. Look down on him, laugh at him, tease him, even these Reinhardts can bear it. slept with his girlfriend and brought him a green hat, which is impossible to bear.
Originally, Umegawa Kuko bullied just a stupid and stupid otaku who had no background and only knew fantasy all day long. But now, the autistic otaku back then has become the head of Germany! The evil deeds that were never paid for by Umegawa Kuko in the past have finally come to fruition.
