readx; After making a brief speech to the accompanying reporters at the airport, Guo Taiqi led the delegation into Zagreb, and the convoy was escorted and protected by the local garrison. Du Yanpeng, commander of the Ninth Army www.biquge.info did not want the delegation to make any mistakes on his chassis, but he was very aware of the importance of the upcoming negotiations between the Chinese and German delegations.

Through the car window, Guo Taiqi saw the city buildings full of ruins, and he couldn't help but scold the generals of the army for being too barbaric, patronizing themselves to fight the war happily, but he didn't know that Yugoslavia had killed and injured so many civilians, and he didn't feel sorry for the Yugoslav civilians, but because there were too many civilians killed and wounded, the people in their Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to bear too much diplomatic pressure.

In the ruined city, the convoy finally came to an intact building, this building was not a political axe building or anything like that, it turned out to be a luxury hotel, big enough and strong enough, of course, because it was relatively complete facilities, so it was temporarily requisitioned by the Ninth Army as the headquarters of the group army.

After a little settlement, Guo Taiqi sat down with the German delegation, they did not have much time for all kinds of polite words, Germany urgently needed to be officially recognized by China and reach a series of alliance agreements to ensure Germany's interests in the post-war period. And China also hopes to officially tie Germany to its own chariot in time, as the so-called late will change, no one wants to plan for so long to have any changes.

After the two sides sat down, the head of the German delegation, Major General Jonas, did not have much nonsense, and the first sentence was: "Now we urgently need your country's support, not only diplomatic support, but also your country's military support!" ”

Guo Taiqi did not feel much contempt for Admiral Jonas's frankness, he knew that the person in front of him was a soldier, and the most important thing was that in fact, the top leaders of the two sides had already negotiated the general matters by secret telegram, and now the work of the two of them was to negotiate some details, and at the same time sign official documents to form a formal diplomatic agreement between the two countries.

So this time it is said to be a negotiation, but in fact, it is very different from the usual diplomatic negotiations, and there is no need for such a thing as intrigue.

Guo Taiqi said: "General, before you came, you also knew the general matter, and I will not beat around the bush, according to the instructions I have received, unless the situation is irreparable, our army will not attack the armies of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, and the concerns must be clear to you and Marshal Witzleben of your country's provisional military and political axe." However, in addition to the support of direct military action, our President has promised your Marshal Wiecleben that he will give your country sufficient time in other respects, including the interspersal of some contacts between your country and the Allied and Soviet forces, as we have done before, and our Tenth Army has succeeded in isolating your [***] troops from the Soviets in the direction of Romania and Hungary.

Secondly, I have been authorized before I come to provide your country with a certain amount of ordnance and weapons, as well as various industrial materials, to ensure that your country maintains its ability to resist.

Of course, whether the above can be done or not, you also need to give a formal guarantee! ”

After saying that, Guo Taiqi took out a document: "This is a cooperation agreement document drafted by our country, the general can take a closer look, most of it is drafted according to the conditions negotiated between you and China in advance, and in addition to a considerable part of the details added later!" ”

Major General Jonas took it and looked at it, while several other members of the German delegation were nervously looking at it.

The document was not long, only two pages, and Jonas and the others quickly read it and immediately put it down.

"Most of the terms are in line with what we talked about earlier, but there are a few things that we have questions about." Jonas said: "For example, on the issue of Austria's status, we need your country to support our legal position in Austria after the war, and in exchange, we can give up all the territory of the Czech Republic!" ”

Guo Taiqi said: "This is very difficult, from our point of view, we naturally hope that your country's preserved strength is as strong as possible, but considering the reaction of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, it is difficult for them to accept Germany's territorial claims to Austria, and if this dispute is not resolved, then it is impossible for Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union to negotiate peace with you!" ”

"It is absolutely impossible for the political axe of our country to start a war with Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union for the sake of one Austria!" Guo Taiqi felt that it was necessary for the Germans to make it clear to the Germans that it would be very difficult to restore Germany to its pre-war situation in terms of China's strength, and that China would have to risk war with Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union.

Moreover, in fact, Chen Jingyun does not want post-war Germany to be too strong, what he needs is a Germany that is powerful, but can be controlled by himself, and is definitely not a Germany that is strong enough to be on an equal footing with China, to put it bluntly, China needs an obedient and powerful client state in Europe, not an equal ally.

In addition, Germany's loss of Austria will have little practical impact on China, because even if Germany loses Austria, Austria will only be supported by China, just like Yugoslavia and Greece. That would not reduce China's power in Europe too much.

Hearing this, Jonas frowned: "In this case, let's skip this first, and we will contact Berlin later, and we will discuss it after getting a reply!" ”

After they skipped this one, Jonas added: "As for the reinforcements, we hope that your [***] team will be able to enter northern Italy and relieve our pressure in northern Italy, so that we can draw troops to the western front of France to resist the Allied forces!" ”

Guo Taiqi said: "We can't agree to this, but we can march into Austria, your [***] team can completely withdraw from northern Italy, and we will promise that the Allied troops will never attack the southern hinterland of your country through Austria!" ”

After listening to this, Jonas was thinking back to the explanation given to him by Witzleben and others before departure, and he was also thinking about many gains and losses in his heart, and now this situation in Germany, Italy and Austria are unable to keep it, and it is expected that a large number of troops will be consumed in Italy, such as the two army groups deployed in northern Italy will be transferred to France to resist the Allied forces, and if there is a Chinese army stationed in Austria after northern Italy, it will be impossible for the Allied forces to threaten the German mainland from the southern front. And this is a great benefit for Germany, if you add the Hungarian side, it can be said that Germany suddenly changed from a four-front battle to a two-front war, which can allow Germany to draw more troops to fight against the enemy on the western front and the eastern front.

So he nodded: "This is acceptable, but you must move quickly, if this negotiation can be reached, our army's two army groups in northern Italy will be withdrawn immediately, I hope your army can enter Austria in time." ”

Jonas's words have already revealed that the German war in France and Poland has reached the point of complete collapse, and they are not willing to wait even a little time, and within a day of waiting, the Allies and the Soviets will be one step closer to Berlin.

"There is also material assistance, now we urgently need a large number of daily necessities, as well as fighter jets and anti-tank weapons support, and I hope that your country can provide this as soon as possible!" Jonas said.

Guo Taiqi said: "This is easy to say! Speaking of this, Guo Taiqi praised his motherland a little: "China has nothing else, but more food and weapons!" ”

This is not a lie, grain before 1940 China has been deeply troubled by food shortage, every year from Southeast Asia and even from India and the United States to import grain, but with China's complete control of Southeast Asian countries, a large number of Southeast Asian countries of grain was imported to China cheaply, although this seems to be imported on the surface, but this way of import is much cheaper and safer, and the previous kind of import that is not under their own control is very different. At least today in 1945, Chen Jingyun can proudly say that he has initially solved the problem of eating for Chinese!

Of course, the price is that the Southeast Asian countries are under the control of China, almost completely deindustrialized, and all people go to grow crops such as grain and rubber, and now even the people have begun to have a trend of deindustrialization, and last year they said that after the defeat of the war, a large number of factory equipment was dismantled back to China by China, and within a few months, the heavy industry system of Ben has completely disappeared, and now there are only some light industries for people's livelihood left.

Chen Jingyun was planning to turn Southeast Asia into an industrial raw material and grain production area, and as for the words, "Ben wanted to completely destroy its armament capability, in addition to stipulating in the constitution that "Ben could not form an army, but could only form a garrison force with a number of less than 100,000 people, and the command of this garrison force directly belonged to China, Chen Jingyun also completely destroyed the heavy industry system of Ben, and the steel mills and shipyards were all moved...... Of course, it is said that "with such a large population, it is very good to leave them with basic industries for life, such as labor-intensive industries such as textiles, which can feed many people and is not a threat."

In fact, if we look at the national economy purely in terms of this method, it is very beneficial to say, "Why?" Because after the defeat of the war, it was completely controlled by China, and it fully joined the China-led economic system like other countries, that is to say, China's textile and other light industry markets were fully opened to China.

And opening the Chinese market is something that I have not achieved after hundreds of years of hard work, and there have been many wars for this, and now I have lost the war but I have obtained the Chinese market, which has to be said to make people happy.

With such a huge market in China as support, the economic recovery of Ben is something that can be waited.
