Family and Country Chapter 52 Peace of Mind 1

Life is a drama!

In the reception room of the Great China General Staff, Captain Goering, dressed in a German military uniform and wearing a first-class Iron Cross pinned to his left chest, thought so. The Munich Revolution (called the Insurrection by the Weimar government) at the beginning of last month seemed like a farce. The National Socialist Party, with its hundreds of thousands of supporters and nearly 5,000 stormtroopers, was scattered under the attack of the government forces: General Ludendorff was soon arrested by the government forces, the party leader Strass was wounded, and the rest of the cadres were either killed or fled, but His Royal Highness Wilhelm, the second spiritual leader of the party, could not accept this result and held out until the last moment.

And as a faithful servant, all he can do is to escape from the city hall with His Highness as best he can, and in the process, he blocks a sin bullet fired at His Highness. However, the outcome was not what he wanted to see: His Highness was finally arrested by the government army, and she was to 'profess to the German people the patriotism of herself and all the National Socialists, and to condemn and rebuke the traitors who fought for the tiger'. The drama was a tragedy at this point, but in the absence of a more reliable comrade, His Highness was willing to marry him suddenly, so that he could 'go to China on his behalf in search of the most urgent and needed help,' and at the same time 'dispose of his property in the Far East as a husband, so that the National Socialist Party would not be completely dissolved.'

His Royal Highness the Duke is the staunchest and most reliable funder of the National Socialist Party, but for the National Socialist Party, which has nearly 10,000 people, it is a huge expense to support these people even if they do not mention the funds for their activities. In the decision to follow Mussolini's lead on Berlin, the fiscal crisis was an important consideration, especially in the face of inflation. His Royal Highness's huge deposits in the bank were all turned into waste paper in less than a month.

According to the orders of His Royal Highness the Duke, this time he went to China. Seeking the support of His Excellency Yang Rui, Premier of China, is the number one priority; The sale of His Royal Highness the Duke's property is the second priority......

Captain Goering, who was waiting, kept reminding himself in the reception room that he was very worried about the short meeting that followed. I was so excited that I forgot to ask these two questions to the great people of the Far East.

'Tuk Tuk...', there was a knock on the door, and Goering immediately stood up, and the interpreter who came in whispered: "Mr. Goering, Your Excellency Prime Minister, please." Please come with me......"

Before meeting with this very powerful 'niece and son-in-law', Yang Rui first met Zhang Shi of the Intelligence Bureau, and his brow was furrowed after learning that Rebecca was only nominally married to Goering so that he could act on his behalf in the name of his husband. This Rebecca and Leo have completely different hearts, if it were Leo, he would never act in this way, and he would not be as 'patriotic' as she is.

"Yang, the country is a deceitful thing, we worked hard to build the country, but the end result is that we are enslaved by the state...... Yang, don't be fooled. To hell with the country and the emperor......"

Twenty years ago, Leo was still talking in Shanghai, but now his daughters are married. Yang Rui let out a long sigh before putting down Rebecca's marriage and asked, "What is the situation in Germany now?" With so many people dead, how many years does Rebecca estimate to be sentenced? ”

"Sir, with the news we have inquired about. If we can come forward, and Mistress Rebecca can admit guilt, she should be pardoned by the German government. "Zhang Shi is not a military cadet. But I fully understand Yang Rui's feelings for Leo, so I have been paying attention to this matter this month.

"Nope." Yang Rui shook his head: "Rebecca will never admit her guilt." We can't come forward ...... either."

Although Yang Rui didn't explain, Zhang Shi was extremely clear about what he meant. That is similar to the Bolsheviks of yesteryear. If the Kuomintang holds a revolution in the future, China will absolutely have to dissociate itself from relations, and from now on. After understanding what Yang Rui meant, Zhang Shi said: "Although the uprising was suppressed in less than a day, it still caused some damage and killed hundreds of people; And now the situation in Germany is turbulent, if the judge is completely on the side of the government, then the sentence is definitely more than ten years; Of course, it is also possible that the judge's position is more fair, and Lord Rebecca is not the main culprit after all, but a woman......"

Due to the magnitude of the incident, there is a serious conflict of opinion between the German and Bavarian governments, so the trial will not begin until February at the earliest. The news from Munich was chaotic, and Zhang Shi couldn't tell how the situation would change in a month's time. Yang Rui also understood this uncertainty, he no longer asked about Rebecca, but just asked Goering to come over.

In Yang Rui's impression, Marshal Goering should have been an arrogant and stupid fat man, but now Goering, who was brought in, was a rigorous and handsome German captain officer, tall and strong. It made his stiff face a little weaker - no one wanted to watch his niece marry a stupid fat man.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, it is an honour to meet you! His Royal Highness William asked me to take her to say hello to you. Goering did not salute, but bowed deeply to Yang Rui, who was dressed in the marshal's uniform.

"Please be seated." Yang Rui arched his hand without pretending to be colored, and only after serving tea did he say: "It's not easy to come here from Germany, I heard that you are still injured." Is the injury getting better now? ”

The meeting with Goering was only private, so Yang Rui spoke German. Hearing the familiar German language gave Goering an inexplicable affinity, and he felt that there was hope for the National Socialist Party. Seeing Yang Rui ask about his injury, he stood up again and said, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, thank you for the selfless help of the gentlemen of the Consulate in Munich of your country, my injury will heal soon." He saw Yang Rui, who was holding the teacup, nodded slightly, and said again excitedly: "Your Highness is being imprisoned by the German traitorous government at this time, and our cause of national salvation has been ruined......

From the moment he left Germany and boarded the Great China Airlines plane, Goering had been thinking about what to say when he saw Yang Rui, and Goebbels, who was traveling with him, had a lot of suggestions. Now he said that he had been carefully considered for more than ten days, and was not only full of passion, but also realistic - he believed that China and Germany were natural allies, that Red Russia was the common enemy of China and Germany, that China and Japan together with Germany could completely destroy the evil Bolshevik regime, and that the vast Russia was the common spoils of war for the three countries.

If Yang Rui was still Yang Rui twenty years ago, even if he disagreed, he would approve of it in his heart. Especially now that China and Japan have intervened in Central Asia, they can do nothing else in the strategy against Russia. Capture Baku alone would allow the Soviet Union to finally surrender. However, more than 20 years of observation and comprehension have made him understand that although China and Russia, or China and the Soviet Union, have territorial disputes in the north. However, from the perspective of the world pattern and Russia's tradition of valuing Europe over Asia, China and Russia are like bears and wolves in the forest, although wolves are bullied by bears, but once the bear dies, the wolf will soon be dried by hunters as bacon and wine.

This is not only aimed at the United States, but also at the increasingly widespread green religion in later generations, after all, Russia is a sworn enemy of pan-Ottomanism and pan-Islam. Zuo Zongtang was able to calmly calm down the rebellion during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the terrorism in Xinjiang and even the world after the collapse of the Soviet Union can all show how important Russia's suppression of the Green Religion is.

Aggression is not necessarily aggression of heavily armed armies. Aggression is more often than not, aggression of faith. If the Soviet Union is eliminated, once the world pattern evolves into the Cold War of the future, it is likely that China will disintegrate in the future; At the same time, the Green Sect, which had lost its suppression, would invade east of Xi'an as it did in later generations, and began to plot against Zhengzhou - Yang Rui was very sure that the countryside under the rule of the peasant association would eventually be unable to resist the invasion of the Green Sect after the economic and political collapse, and that the fall of faith was certain if there were clans like the southeast in the northwestern and northern provinces except Shanxi......

When Goering spoke at length, Yang Rui was not thinking about the anti-Soviet alliance of China, Japan and Germany at all. Rather, it was the loss of the disadvantages of the Soviet Union and the current decisions of the Revival Society, in which feudalism and clans were poisonous, religion was no better, and privatization, which was extremely detrimental to the centralization of the bureaucracy.

But objectively speaking. Even without considering the ass, the bureaucracy is the object of his constant opposition. The prodigious centralization of power has indeed led to rapid industrialization and the construction of astonishing mega-projects, but this is more of a show than a reality. Eventually, it's just going to be something like the Egyptian pyramids – not to be forgotten, of course. The bureaucratic tyrant regime in Egypt was supposed to use mega-projects such as pyramids to keep the people in extreme poverty and unable to resist. It's always been part of the art of domination......

Yang Rui thought that at this time, Goering's speech was over, and his face was flushed with excitement at this time, in his opinion, his speech could be scored ninety points in the beer hall, but Yang Rui did not listen carefully, and he was not interested in the strangulation of the Soviet Union described by him, so he did not react as he expected. Yang Rui just said very calmly: "Mr. Goering, China and Germany have always been good friends, because of the relationship between Duke Wilhelm and I in the early years of auditing at the University of Berlin, I myself am full of good feelings and sympathy for the German people, and I also hope that Germany can get rid of the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles as soon as possible, but it is a pity that Germany is in Europe, and China is ...... in Asia."

Yang Rui said that Goering wanted to interrupt to reiterate his previous argument, but apparently he realized that this was not a Munich beer hall, so he held back. I only heard Yang Rui continue: "As you just said, Germany needs a strong central government to change and end the current chaotic situation, but it is obvious that Germany is not suitable, or the National Socialist Party does not have the strength of the revolution, and at the same time, Germany is located in Central Europe, and the revolution will never establish a central government like China, so my opinion is: it is better to find a way from party politics, rather than armed revolution, after all, Britain and France and other countries will not sit idly by and watch the revolution break out in Germany."

As far as the international situation is concerned, the form is favorable to Germany, although France does not want to see a complete and strong Germany, but Britain fully supports and hopes that Germany will become stronger, and with enough patience and skill, Germany can use this to get rid of some of the shackles and get back some of the things restricted by Versailles. However, if the situation in the world does not change, then there is no end to what can be done. Mr. Goering, a fanatical and centralized Germany is powerful and at the same time dangerous, and this must be noted. ”

Yang Rui's speech was instructive, what he said about party politics and the use of Britain made Goering think deeply, but Göring did not come here for guidance, he came to seek substantive help, it was after Yang Rui finished speaking, he pleaded: "Your Excellency, Your Highness and I hope that you can give us some help, and we hope to get a loan of 5 million Chinese dollars and diplomatic support." You can be confident that these investments will pay off in the future......"

Goering is not a lion yet, but Yang Rui said with a straight face when he heard this: "Mr. Goering, you are wrong!" I have not thought of anything in return for anything that Germany has done, the Chinese government and the Chinese people only admire the achievements of Germany and the excellence of the German nation. We don't want to see her suffer injustice, we have always been convinced. Both sides of the war in Europe had some responsibility, and the punishment for Germany was too harsh.

Don't forget, though. China was also a member of the Entente, and in the official standpoint, we had to follow the Treaty of Versailles; At the same time, Germany is a country, and it is impossible for the Chinese government to directly lend to political parties in Germany, which will be seen as subversion with ulterior motives. I sympathize with Germany's plight and appreciate your sacrifice for the revival of the nation, but any official support is neither allowed nor possible.

And, Rebecca. The question of the nationality of Duke William is also a thorny one, although we recognize dual nationality – as long as either of the paternal and maternal lines is a Chinese national. But the Duke herself was involved in an armed revolution in Germany, and once she was put to trial, her nationality and her status would be a major issue in the diplomacy of the two countries.

Mr. Goering, you can seek private help in China, and I am sure that you will be able to solve the problems you are facing to some extent, and your safety will be guaranteed here, but remember that you must not be too conspicuous. ”

After Yang Rui said these words, he served tea to the guests, believing that with 10% of the tax revenue of Leo's fief as collateral - that is, the part of the tax revenue that the feudal lord could dispose of at will, Goering could get some money from the Kwantung Bank. This money is enough to stabilize the National Socialist Party, but to strengthen the National Socialist Party, I am afraid that it will only lead to a world economic crisis.

This is the result of coming all the way to China, and Goering is very unwilling. He did not say goodbye as he was admonished before the meeting, but stepped forward and knelt down on one leg in front of Yang Rui, and he pleaded heartily: "Your Excellency, Honorable Prime Minister. Since you never ask for anything in return from Germany, please ask for help from my country! Countless Germans will be starved and frozen to death this winter!! ”

Goering's actions moved Yang Rui. But it was only moving, and he first lifted the German up with both hands. Then he said: "Mr. Goering, inflation in Germany is only due to the French occupation of the Ruhr area, and now France is being criticized by the international community, they will soon withdraw from the Ruhr, and German inflation will soon be over."

Before you came to China, I met with your ambassador and promised to provide Germany with a low-interest grain loan of more than 100 million Chinese yuan. In addition to the grain loan, the China Wealth Fair will also donate a batch of grain to the German government. It's just that it has been three years since the drought in several northern provinces of China, and countless people have been displaced and have to go to Beiting in the Western Regions to migrate, and their donations are relatively limited......"

Since Goering knelt down on one leg for the sake of the motherland, Yang Rui only mentioned the Chinese government's support for the German government, which really made Goering want to cry without tears, and he had to defend: "But Your Excellency, the current German government is a traitorous government......

"Then you will find a way to gain the support of the German people and form your own government by electing seats in the Reichstag." Yang Rui interrupted. He didn't want to go deep into the Germans, and if the Nazis did come to power, he might become an accomplice.

Yang Rui didn't want to talk anymore, and Zhang Shi on the side saw the opportunity and said, "Mr. Goering, the prime minister is very busy, even if he wants to help you, then he has to reconsider this matter when he has free time......

Goering, who had regained hope, was soon coaxed away by Zhang Shi. After he left, Yang Rui suddenly smiled at Zhang Shi and said, "When did the Germans also learn the method of indiscriminate use of dead skin?" ”

"Goering came with Goebbels," said Zhang Shi, "and Goebbels is a very good liar, and he never told the truth, and that may have been his idea." ”

"Goebbels is here too?" Yang Rui was a little surprised, the elite of the Third Reich seemed to have added the National Socialist Party to the money of the Munich riots.

"Yes, sir. After Strassa was arrested, he had nowhere to go, and when the news of Goering's marriage to Lord Rebecca broke, he took the initiative to find him, and he helped along the way. Zhang Shidao.

"I've never been able to figure out why Goering wasn't caught. Also married to Rebecca? Yang Rui asked puzzled.

"Sir, at the request of Master Rebecca, we helped Goering change his identity, and she persuaded the prison priest to marry Göring hastily when he visited the prison with a notary, and the wedding was witnessed by General Ludendorff and a policeman." Zhang Shi said helplessly.

"Is this in accordance with the law?" Yang Rui only felt that this was child's play, remembering that when he and Cheng Ying got married, they tossed for several days.

"Pretty much yes." Zhang Shi said again, "At least it is legally recognized. ”

"Hey, leave her alone." Yang Rui shook his head, "There is no need to see each other here on Goering's side in the future." Kanto banks can do pledge lending, but let them not exceed ten years. ”

"Understood, sir." Zhang Shi said. After saying this, Yang Rui was silent for a while, and when he was about to go out, Yang Rui suddenly asked Li Zilong and Lu Xiaoman, who were recording on the side, to go out, and then asked, "How is the stumbling block plan being implemented?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Rui asked about this, and Zhang Shi replied softly: "Sir, Niels. Ball died ...... heart attack last month. Originally, according to the plan, the next one was Einstein, but he had already received a letter of appointment from Tongji University Hall and would come to Shanghai to teach next year, so he had to skip it, and the next target was adjusted to Otto. Jaén, executed in three years......"

"Hmm." Yang Rui nodded. The Stumbling Block Project was a thirty-year-long accidental assassination program, nuclear physics, that had already killed Rutherford and Mary a few years earlier. Curie, now that Bohr is also dead, killing Hahn, Fermi, and a few others who may have made discoveries in nuclear physics, perhaps no more than ten, would put the Western countries behind China in developing the atomic bomb.

"The country is in transition, and it won't be able to withstand the war for thirty years, so ......" Yang Rui looked at Zhang Shi, "The Intelligence Bureau must complete this plan solidly and covertly, which is the top priority of all work." ”

"Understood, sir!" Zhang Shi was extremely serious, he was sure that every word and plan Yang Rui said was extremely important.

"That's good!" Yang Rui nodded, and when Goering was gushing just now, he suddenly thought that because of the change in the decision-making of the Revival Society, the atomic bomb became more and more urgent and important. "You get out. Don't rush, take your time, we're sure to win! ”

"Yes, sir." Yang Rui's self-confidence also infected Zhang Shi, he smiled and agreed, and then went out.

After Zhang Shi left, Yang Rui was the only one left in the reception room, and the dinner had not yet started, but he wanted to see someone, an extremely important person, although this person had made an appointment to report to him tomorrow, but he wanted to see him now. Soon, Lieutenant General Cui Chaoqing, who attended the meeting, was brought in by Li Zilong.

Lieutenant General Choi Chaoqing is subordinate to the Special Operations Department of the General Staff and the three armed forces below, and he led the man-made tsunami during the Sino-Japanese War. This person is a native of Nantong, Jiangsu, sixty-three years old this year, the oldest general in the Fuxing Army, a viscount, and the Fuxing Society is because Xu Huafeng pulled him to compile an artillery firing table for the Fuxing Society Arsenal.

Although Cui Chaoqing is very old, he is not old, as long as it involves mathematics, his brain is faster than Yang Rui. In the special operations department under his jurisdiction, there are many international students and many doctors, but those young people who have seen the world in the West are respectful to him. Reliable, sophisticated, capable, scientifically literate, and physically tough, this is the ultimate reason why Yang Rui entrusted him with the responsibility of the atomic bomb project.

"Brother Hirer is here." Seeing Cui Chaoqing appear in the reception room, Yang Rui instructed the others to go out and asked Li Zilong to be on guard everywhere, so he greeted Cui Chaoqing with a smile. The more polite he was, the more serious Cui Chaoqing became. The prime minister is by no means looking for himself to create clouds and rain, artificial tsunamis, biological warfare, meteorological warfare and the like, and the prime minister is concerned about tomorrow's mixed yuan pile report meeting, and he cares about mixed yuan bombs.

The national policy is being adjusted, and in the view of the post-60s generation like Cui Chaoqing, since the country has recovered the rights and interests lost in the past, it is natural to carry out the policy of Huang Lao. This is like the Western Han Dynasty, there is no Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty comes. Theoretically, the hybrid bomb is the best deterrent to ensure that the country will no longer be involved in a full-scale war, and although this is expensive, the military expenditure of any major war is more than ten times or dozens of times the research and development expenditure of the mixed element bomb.

Yang Rui greeted warmly, Cui Chaoqing saluted politely, and when he sat down, Yang Rui really said: "Brother Hire a minister, the country is transforming, and the military system will be adjusted next year, and it is best for the country not to fight in recent decades." Although you will report tomorrow, I want to hear you talk about the situation now, otherwise it will be difficult to feel at ease. (To be continued.) )
