Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-Three
There are not many shots of the Führer, but he is the first protagonist, handsome and handsome, revealing the majesty of the superior, this kind of leadership temperament is the most addicted to the European crowd at that time.
There is a temptation in power itself, and the German Führer's credibility is very strong, and every word he says now will be firmly believed by the German people. At the moment, this influence has covered most of Europe, even to both sides of the Red Sea, and is spreading at an alarming rate in the European colonies of South Asia.
"The Dutch envoy was going to take a letter from Queen Wilhelmina to Dutch Indochina, and the ship he was going to take was the Hunter, a 4,000-ton passenger and cargo ship that ran exclusively on the Asia-Europe route, with a maximum speed of only 12 knots." Ribbentrop slipped the roast chicken on his plate and struck up a conversation with Brauchitsch, who was sitting next to him.
"What the hell." Brauchitsch said indignantly, bowing his head.
Ribbentrop nodded his head in agreement: "Who's to say no, it will take at least a week more on the road, so I told him just like that...", the deputy foreign minister stopped, and he found Brauchitsch holding a napkin, vigorously wiping the grease stains on his uniform trousers, and it seemed that a piece of food had just fallen up.
"Ahem, today's dish is really good—" Ribbentrop coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, and then turned to Keitel, who was sitting across from him, expecting the other man to pick up the conversation.
"Well, today's roast chicken is really good, I heard you mention Dutch Indochina just now, has the situation stabilized there?" Because of the Führer's relationship, Keitel did not reject the champagne merchant.
"According to the latest information I have received, the rebellion over there has been suppressed by the garrison, the leader of the rebellion has been killed in the battle, the remaining bandits have fled into the jungle, and Prime Minister Gill is ready to increase the number of colonial garrisons to 50,000."
"If there is a real war, what will this person do?" Keitel was on the side, his face full of disdain.
"As the Führer had predicted, the decisive battle would take place at sea." Yodel chimed in with his glass.
"You're right, once the maritime connection with the Malay Peninsula is cut off, it will be difficult for the Dutch to hold Java."
"There are at least 100,000 European residents in the area, who can be armed for guerrilla warfare."
"Keitel, do you think they were the Boers of the past?" Brauchitsch joined the discussion.
"I think as long as you give them good training..."
"You forget that there are still 60 million locals there, and it only takes a million people to stand up against European rule, and this war cannot be won." Yodel reminded his colleagues loudly.
"Then wipe out the million people." At this moment, a voice sounded at the door of the restaurant.
"Hey! Reinhart! Ribbentrop reacted first, and he quickly stood up from the table and raised his right arm to greet the leader.
"Hey! Reinhart! The marshal and generals also put down their napkins and stood up to salute Xu Jun.
"I'm sorry, I just went to make an important call, gentlemen, please continue." Xu Jun raised his hand and returned a military salute, and then motioned for everyone to sit down.
"My Führer, do you need the kitchen to heat it up for you again?" The orderly walked up to Xu Jun's side.
"No need." The Führer waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, then picked up the napkin and pinned it to the collar.
"The inhabitants of the Dutch East Indies are quite complex, including Malay Sudanese, Chinese, Arabs, Manadones, Bugis, Milan Gapau, Javanese, Dak, Batak, Sundanese, Indians, etc., etc., and of course the Dutch and other European diaspora, so many different cultures, different colors, different races inhabit this long list of islands, whether it is religious beliefs, living habits, customs and language, education level and social class division, there are great differences between them, There are also great contradictions accumulated between each other. It can be said that if it were not for the suppression of the colonial government of the Dutch East Indies, these people would have begun to kill each other long ago. After Xu Jun finished speaking, he picked up a piece of roast chicken with a fork and dipped it in the sauce on the plate.
"Yodel, your concerns do exist, once the war breaks out, there will be people in the local area who will cooperate with the invaders' activities, but it is absolutely impossible to gather a million people on a large scale." The Führer shook his fork and put the roast chicken into his mouth.
"The solution to this kind of problem is very simple, as I said just now, if there are a hundred people who make trouble, destroy a hundred people, if a thousand people rebel, kill those thousand people, if there are ten thousand people who rebel, execute ten thousand people, if there are a million people..."
"Then shoot a million people, my Führer." Himmler excitedly interfaced to.
"Shoot a million people? Then the local garrison won't have to do anything, Himmler. Xu Jun laughed with his wine glass.
"I'm sorry, my Führer, I didn't take this into account." Himmler hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"If the size is beyond the control of the garrison, then we only need to raise and arm the tribes that are hostile to the rebels, and then they will solve all the problems for us." Xu Jun took a long sip of wine after speaking.
"The Dutch have been using this method for nearly 400 years to maintain the balance of power in the colony, so there is no ethnic group in the area that can threaten the dominance of the Dutch." Weierle started to popularize science for several marshals on the side.
"That's true, I remember reading the records."
"These cunning Dutchmen."
"That's why I said that the problem on shore is nothing, and the key point is still at sea."
"It shouldn't have come this far, but you still need to be prepared in advance." The marshals and generals began to talk about it.
"Ribbentrop." Xu Jun snapped his fingers twice in a row, attracting the other party's attention. The deputy minister got up and left his seat and walked quickly to the Führer.
The Führer beckoned to Ribbentrop, who hurriedly bent down. "I know about the Dutch envoy, and you have arranged it well." Xu Jun whispered.
"Thank you very much, my Führer." The deputy minister was flattered and thanked.
"I spoke with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain on the phone, and he told me something very important on the phone." Xu Jun leaned over and took a small meal bag from the bread basket on the table.
"Very... Very important thing, Ribbentrop. Xu Jun emphasized again while tearing the bread.
"Understood, my Führer." At this point, all you need to do is nod your head.
"Now I need you to make a trip to London, time is very tight, you can leave tonight." Xu Jun wiped the gravy on the plate with bread.
"Huh?!" The deputy minister was stunned for a moment, and the Führer's order caught him off guard.
"Don't "sigh", everything has already been arranged for you, the Air Force has transferred a plane, and now it is parked at the airfield in the test area. ”
"Yes, my Führer." It's all come to this point that people still have something to say.
"My Führer, may I ask what exactly I am going to do this time?" Ribbentrop asked respectfully.
"Go and sign a diplomatic agreement for me, and bring back a "gift". This time General Weirle will go with you, and he will explain the details to you on the way. After Xu Jun finished speaking, he put the bread in his mouth.
"Understood, my Führer." Ribbentrop straightened up and looked at Werler, who was sitting next to Xu Jun, but saw that the other party raised his glass to himself, as if to indicate that everyone was happy to cooperate.
