In the Battle of Egypt, two high-ranking British generals became prisoners of the Germans:

General Alexander and General Montgomery.

In Ernst. Under the orders of Field Marshal Bramm, the two British generals were not subjected to any difficulties, but were carefully escorted to Berlin.

Of course, this is the territory of the Skull Baron, who received a warm welcome from their owners.

Wang Weiyi even hosted a banquet for two British generals and his friends in Berlin at his estate: Richthofen, Boncreere, and Steck

Of course, as the head of the Reich, Adolf. Hitler would not have met with two British generals on such an occasion

To be honest, the atmosphere of the banquet was a little awkward from the beginning, and it is completely conceivable that yesterday the two countries were still fighting to the death on the battlefield, but now in the blink of an eye, they sat down and used everything to eat.

Not everyone is as magnanimous as Baron Alexon

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Wang Weiyi suddenly said: "I once told you about the character of Italians, ah, that was twenty years ago. Did I talk to you about France? ”

Several generals shrugged.

Wang Weiyi smiled and said: "Which country does you like the French the most?" Spain! The Catalans, in particular, did not like the French, they felt that they were too arrogant. Many women from Barcelona say 'please! Who likes the French? Nobody's Swiss also don't like the French, they despise the French authorities and the laziness of the French. As for the British. They have the most mixed feelings about the French, half hate the French and the other half like the French"

Speaking of which. He paused deliberately, and sure enough, Montgomery, who was unconsciously attracted by his words, couldn't help but say, "Yes, it is indeed the same as what the Baron said. The English, who hate the French, tend to like the Americans, and vice versa, in the eyes of the British, the French stink, and are impolite because they never stand in line"

The German generals finally couldn't help but smile on their faces.

"What about the British? Ernst, tell us about the British. "Manfred who likes to cause trouble. Richthofen exclaimed.

"You're really like a Frenchman. Impolite. ”

Wang Weiyi's words caused a burst of laughter, but Richthofen did not care at all and urged again and again. Wang Weiyi said at this time: "If you call the British Europeans, about half of the British people will be angry that the British are polite. But it's a bit of a wall grass, and a little bit of snobbery, the Scots and the Welsh are good, but mainly people outside the UK don't know about them and face the negative feelings of the rest of Europe about the UK. Of course, England is the first to bear the brunt. After all. London is in England."

Alexander and Montgomery were a little embarrassed, but Wang Weiyi's following words left them speechless:

"The English, in turn, don't like everyone else. That's why it's hard to find a British person who doesn't have a negative view of the rest of Europe. Europe is full of British, and the longer they live in a country, the more they hate that country, but they don't want to go back to their own country."

The German generals had gloating expressions on their faces.

Although Montgomery admitted that Baron Alexon had a good evaluation of the character of the English, he decided to win back: "Your Excellency, what about Germany? I would love to hear your fair assessment of Germany. ”

"Ahh Yes. Wang Weiyi nodded seriously: "The rest of Europe thinks that the Germans are diligent, rigorous, and lack a sense of humor, and after we lost the victory in that war twenty years ago. It is also very strange that the rest of Europe is mercilessly teasing and laughing at the Germans, although Germany is a great power, most of the people in the rest of Europe do not want to learn German, and the food in Germany is not welcome, of course, the Germans love their western neighbor much more than their inhabitants, but they look down on their eastern neighbors, especially Poland"

Now Alexander and Montgomery could not say anything, and they had to admit that Baron Alexon did not favor one over the other, but deliberately belittled one over the other.

At the same time, Wang Weiyi's comments on these countries have also made the originally awkward atmosphere become lively, and there are more arguments about European countries, and exchanges between German and British generals have also begun to appear.

This is a good start, Wang Weiyi thought to himself.

It was about Richthofen who brought the conversation to neutral Switzerland, and I don't know why the British and German generals began to argue about Switzerland.

Wang Weiyi waited for them to pause for a moment and said, "It's actually very strange about the country of truthfulness. Even the Germans thought the Swiss were extremely rigid. The Swiss have absolutely nothing to do with the words friendly and welcoming, and to put it bluntly, they are rude. It is important to note that there is a significant cultural difference between French-speaking Swiss and German-speaking Swiss. The French-speaking Swiss are the reprints of the French, but the food in Switzerland is not as dull as in France, and the attitude towards the authorities is not as casual as that of the French.

Wang Weiyi was silent: "They have enough strength to remain neutral, note that I am talking about the strength of Switzerland, which is mountainous, and the hardships of mountain life have made Swiss men tenacious and tenacious since ancient times." In the Middle Ages, the Swiss mountain people called to come, to fight, and to overcome. Subsequently, the Swiss army became the object of alliance with other countries because of its bravery and skill, and it had an unhappy history of war. In the 19th century, Switzerland learned from the setbacks of the past that it was armed and neutral, and carried forward the system of all soldiers to the extreme. The Swiss constitution stipulates that when a boy reaches the age of 18, he must report to a recruit school and receive a military uniform and a rifle, and thus begins the history of gun ownership. Male citizens between the ages of 20 and 40 are required to perform compulsory military service on a regular basis, during which time the gun accompanies them all the time"

"Whether it is Germany or Britain, attacking Switzerland will definitely outweigh the losses." Montgomery sighed: "The German Panzer Division will also have to suffer the heaviest losses when it is about to drive the German Panzer Division into Switzerland"

Indeed, as Montgomery said, any attempt to occupy Switzerland would inevitably come at a terrible price. Neutrality - it requires strength and capital!

Not only is it powerful, but the Swiss government is very "smart" enough to know how to protect itself to the greatest extent possible in war.

In 1933, when Hitler came to power, Nazi Germany claimed that all Germans were the ancestors of all Germans, even outside the German territory, so they called the Swiss "Germans in Switzerland". Nationalists published maps that included Switzerland in the Third Reich. In mid-July 1941, the head of the Swiss intelligence agency, Regor Brown. Mason received information that Hitler, having taken control of all of Western Europe, was already planning to attack Switzerland, a small neutral country. He ordered Swiss agents in Germany to investigate, and feedback indicated that the Germans already had six divisions, two of which were already deployed on the German-Swiss border, ready to attack. Germany also blew up the Annes-Larry railway, which was the only way for Switzerland to fight back when the war began.

At the same time, Germany had compiled an 85-page "Swiss Military Handbook" for Switzerland, which Hitler would not have had to spend so much time and money on if he did not want to attack Switzerland. In 1940, the German High Command devised several plans for the rapid occupation of Switzerland by surprise, collectively known as Operation Fir.

It is not that Germany is not prepared to attack Switzerland, but what is the reason why Switzerland was spared the war in the last place? According to the Swiss government, the reason for the inviolability is because of Switzerland's status as a "permanently neutral country". This was an agreement signed at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, but the history of Swiss neutrality is far from beginning at this time, as it has always played the role of a neutral country since 1291, when the Swiss Confederation was established forever. The Congress of Vienna was an inconspicuous agreement between the European powers to redivide the chaotic European territory after Napoleon's defeat, and the establishment of Switzerland's status as a neutral state was only a small and inconspicuous agreement. Switzerland has no illusions about Germany. The first country in Europe to act against fascism turned out to be this small country. Forty-one hours before France declared war, Switzerland held a mobilization meeting at home. After the fall of Norway and Denmark, the Swiss police intensified their investigations, and after the news of the conquest of the Netherlands and Belgium, Switzerland closed its borders, blocked roads and railways, and demanded that all foreigners with guns in the territory surrender their weapons.

Just a few months before Germany's reactionary blitzkrieg to the west, the Swiss government allocated funds to build border fortresses, extend the service time of soldiers, recruit new soldiers, and organized an army of more than 500,000 in a few days.

After the fall of France, Swiss Prime Minister Pillay. Gora made overtures to Germany and reduced the army to two-thirds.

The Swiss were outraged, and the military objected, saying that they would do everything in their power to resist a possible German attack. Therefore, Hitler would not and did not dare to attack such a country where all the people were soldiers, and attacking Greece had already made them anxious.

A month before the war with the Soviet Union, Hitler did not want to deplete his army (to be continued......
