Four hundred and nineteen. United States

"Joseph, that's a good name."

Hearing the baron praise himself, Joseph's face turned red with excitement.

Joseph felt a great pride in his heart.

He was the baron's senior attendant, and in front of so many servants, and in front of Videlio's butler, he praised his name for a good sound, and this matter will definitely be remembered by himself for a lifetime.

"Your Excellency, Depsie, Countess Léony's butler, and his attendant Elliot are also in the manor." Steward Videlio then said, "I asked him to come out to you." ”

"Ha, Steward Videlio, don't you still know the temper of Butler Petsi?" Wang Weiyi smiled: "Depsie won't come to see me, who made him the countess's butler?" Well, I'll go see him. Ah, by the way, Adolf and many others will come at 8 o'clock, can you prepare something for me to eat together? ”

"At your command." Steward Videlio said respectfully, "By 8 o'clock, everything will be ready." ”

When he came to Depsie's housekeeper's room, the countess's butler stood up and said reluctantly, "Your Excellency, Baron." ”

On the contrary, Eliot, who was standing beside him, could not hide his excitement at all, if it weren't for Depsie's butler on the side, I was afraid that Elliot would have screamed a long time ago.

It's hard enough to think about Eliot, his nature is that kind of particularly uninhibited character, but by Depsie's stewardship, he can only barely control himself.

"Elliot, say hello to the Baron."

"Hello, Your Excellency." Elliot bowed to Wang Weiyi: "Since the last time I saw you in Washington. It's been a few years again. ”

"You've grown up too, Elliot." Wang Weiyi sat them down: "Is the countess ready to come back?" ”

"Ah, there is such a thought. But it has not yet been put into action. "The Countess would be glad if she knew that you were back." She's been thinking about you for the past two years, and of course, William misses you too. ”

Hearing William's name, Wang Weiyi's heart trembled, that was his son.

Settled: "How is William now?" ”

"He became an assistant to the Speaker, but obviously that wasn't all he wanted" Depsie seemed to value William far more than he did to Baron Alexon: "I think. His achievements in the future will be very high, and I would not be surprised at all if his achievements surpassed yours. ”

And it's no wonder. Depsie's butler never married, he entered the earl's family as an apprentice at the age of 9, and sat in the position of butler step by step, spending most of his life with the earl and the countess. I already think of myself as a member of this family. And William was raised by him since he was a child. Maybe in his heart, he has quietly regarded William as his family.

Wang Weiyi smiled, he understood the true thoughts of the housekeeper Depsie, he had no son, no relatives, he was alone, and he had served the countess loyally for so many years, if he could let William die for him in the future. Or maybe it's what he wants most. But he adheres to the distinction between master and servant, and such thoughts are only hidden in the deepest part of his heart. I don't even dare to think about it

"Depsie Butler, I have a good suggestion." Wang Weiyi said slowly: "You watch William grow up, he is no different from your child. In the future, when you hear God's call and are about to leave, let him accompany you through the last part of the road. ”

Butler Depsie was so excited that his beard trembled, and it was the most touching thing he had ever heard from the baron's mouth. But he immediately calmed down his emotions and said with a very serious look: "Your Excellency, your idea is really ridiculous, I am just a servant of a relatively high status of the earl, how can I do such a non-trivial thing?" ”

Wang Weiyi laughed: "Eliot, tell me about China." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Eliot was quick to say: "After the decisive battle of China's defense line, the Nationalist Government immediately held the Battle of Nanjing, mobilized many newly formed troops, and we sent a large number of weapons and ammunition from the United States to support the Nationalist Government's war of resistance. In the Battle of Nanking, your Tiger Guard Brigade performed very well, ah, I forgot to tell you that those of your men are now very good commanders, and the Japanese army has not won a decisive victory in the Chinese battlefield, but has suffered great losses, and when they finally occupy Nanjing, they find that all they get is an empty city"

Speaking of this, he glanced at the baron, and saw that the baron had listened very carefully, so he continued:

After that, the Nationalist Government organized several battles one after another, although not as well fought as the Battle of Nanjing, but also achieved good results, delaying and thwarting the Japanese attack. Beginning in October 1941, the Nationalist Government successively organized the Autumn Offensive and the Winter Offensive to carry out a major counteroffensive, although these two counteroffensives did not achieve greater results, but they temporarily turned the Japanese army from offensive to defensive. I am talking about for the time being, and you know better than me that there are not many units as outstanding as the Tiger Guard Brigade in China after all, and there is still a gap between the Chinese and Japanese armies in terms of combat quality. However, being able to defeat the Japanese army in such a mess is something that no country has ever thought of before, and if it continues to be carried out persistently, I believe that sooner or later the Nationalist Government will be able to achieve the most decisive victory."

Wang Weiyi listened carefully: "Has the Japanese army opened up a second battlefield?" ”

"Second battlefield?" Elliot was stunned, and then said: "As far as I know, due to some factors, Japan did launch an offensive in some Asian countries, but the war was not particularly fierce. ”

Wang Weiyi's brows were locked, this was not the news he wanted to hear.

If Japan had put all its strength on China, the pressure on the Nationalist Government would have been too great. It is necessary for Japan to launch an all-out offensive in Asia, and to start an all-out war with the British and French in Asia, so as to reduce the pressure on China's battlefield.

Also, Japan did not carry out a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and this historical change is not what Wang Weiyi wants to see.

We have to find a way to make Japan go to war everywhere!

It's not impossible, and Japan has always been a strange country that often does a lot of incredible things.

Drag them into the quagmire of war and not be able to extricate themselves!

But what should I do? It would be a good choice to let Xiao Ling come forward, but now the question is to see if Xiao Ling will help him with this.

Japanese military officers, driven by the so-called "martial arts", tend to do some extremely crazy things

This was the case in Shanghai, where Matsui completely ignored the Japanese government's idea of a local war, repeatedly and openly disobeyed the government's orders, and constantly expanded the battlefield.

Are there any other high-ranking Japanese commanders at their disposal?

"Military aid to the national government must continue to be strengthened, but it cannot be left to us alone"

Wang Weiyi said this, and Elliot had already said: "You may not know that Mrs. Jiang Meiling of the National Government secretly visited the United States last year, and also visited Mrs. Hermione and the Countess. And in June of this year, Ms. Meiling will continue to visit the United States to obtain comprehensive assistance from the United States, at least secretly from the United States government."

Wang Weiyi nodded.

I am a destroyer of history, and many things are no longer carried out according to the normal historical track.

If the United States and Japan did not go to war, it would be impossible for the US Government to openly support the Nationalist Government, and if it could get the full support of the US Government, it would be very beneficial to the Nationalist Government.

There will always be a way, there will always be a way

I thought for a while: "Steward Depsie, you have to go back to the United States as soon as possible, let the Countess not go back to Germany for the time being, I need her and Hermione to stay in the United States, first, as I told me a few years ago, continue to coordinate the relationship between the United States and Germany, and second, I want them to do some things You tell them, when I finish dealing with the matter at hand, I will go to the United States"

"Very good, Lord Baron." Depsie responded: "In fact, in the United States, there are many people who support the German Nazis. This is especially true of Hollywood tungsten. Those films that speak ill of Germany are strictly forbidden to be filmed by various film companies, and even those that have been filmed well have no chance to be screened. For example, Columbia's 'Confessions of a Nazi Spy' didn't get any chance to be released at all, but instead praised Germany and Adolf a lot. Hitler's films, the audience attendance was very high"

The voice of the little spirit, which had disappeared for a long time, finally came again: "Rambler, even if you don't show up, this is the case in the United States. Before the United States declared war on Germany, Nazi sympathizers abound in the United States. In terms of films, Germany is the most important European market for American film companies, and they are trying to curry favor with Germany and Gozoner. There was a director who made a film sympathetic to the Jews, and he lost his job. ”

Wang Weiyi silently thought that this was the real situation on the European continent, including the United States.

"Ah, Lord Baron, I remember that." Elliot suddenly smiled and said, "The fifth installment of the Baron film series is already being filmed. The news of your appearance has once again set off a baronial whirlwind in the United States, and most Americans are fanatical about your reappearance. ”

Wang Weiyi smiled faintly, maybe this is also the capital he can use. But how to make full use of these costs?

At this time, Videlio walked in:

"Your Excellency, your friends are here." (To be continued.) )
