Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Marshal von Strongs, the Chief of the German General Staff, is one of the few people in the top German ranks who knows the true intention of Tang Qiuli, an old Chinese friend who was invited by the head of state to meet him in Kiev.  One of the core characters.

    To put it bluntly, the head of state invited Tang Qiuli to come to Kiev with the intention of a showdown. Leaving Stalin to linger was absolutely unacceptable to the head of state. Therefore, if Stalin and his remnants crossed the Ural Mountains and fled to Asia,  In the West Siberia area, the German Army will inevitably pursue them and annihilate them all quickly. Then, the last agreement between His Excellency the Head of State and Tang Qiuli in Berlin will be broken. After the German Army occupied the Soviet Union, it could not but the Ural  Mountains, not into Asia.

    The result of this was that the German Army entered Tang Qiuli's sphere of influence. No one could predict what would happen after that. Marshal von Strongs also knew that the Head of State had asked his old Chinese friend to choose  camp¡¯s intentions.

    The Chinese's large-scale naval armament procurement also made His Excellency the Head of State suspicious, but he was more curious than wary. Navy Commander D?nitz came out for an interview. It was just the instruction of His Excellency the Head of State. Obviously, D?nitz, a straightforward guy, put  Things are messed up.

    While holding the wine glass and walking in the direction of Tang Qiuli and D?nitz, Marshal von Strongs was organizing his words. How could he make the scene go smoothly? Through many contacts with Tang Qiuli, he knew that this Chinese  , definitely not easy to mess with!

    When Tang Qiuli saw Strongs approaching, he knew that his intention was to rescue D?nitz. Germany was a traditional land power.  After sweeping across Europe, it has nearly 10 million army troops capable of fighting, which is very important for maritime strategy.  However, they did not pay much attention to it. Among the German army, navy and air force, the commanders of the army and air force all had the rank of marshal, but D?nitz, the commander of the navy, still had the rank of general. This can be seen from this.

    This is also one of the reasons why Tang Qiuli asked Zhou Yushan and Battelle to lead a team to Germany to purchase naval equipment.  If you go to the United States, which attaches great importance to sea power, to purchase, you may not be able to get anything done no matter how much money you spend, and the Americans will be wary of themselves as if they were facing a formidable enemy.  Not to mention that he would not sell warships and aircraft carriers that could threaten American interests in the future to him obediently. D?nitz came forward to ask questions, but it was because Hitler did not know his thoughts.  Just a test.

    Marshal von Strongs approached the two men.  He smiled before saying anything, raised his glass, and was about to speak, but Tang Qiuli stopped and interrupted, saying lightly: "Your Excellency, Marshal, you are also here. Just now, General D?nitz asked me. How about purchasing from Germany?  What is the purpose of the extra naval equipment? Let me explain it simply, so as not to cause doubts in your heart and affect the good relationship between China and Germany!"

    D?nitz's face relaxed. He just had no chance to go down the steps and explain to the head of state. Now, Tang Qiuli took the initiative to explain that no matter what he said, he had completed the task assigned by the head of state, and it was easy to hand over the job!

    Marshal von Strongs' face tightened and his heart was shocked. He was very surprised. He was surprised that Tang Qiuli revealed the inner thoughts of the head of state without reservation. He was full of words.  , don¡¯t know where to start?

    Seeing von Strongs looking like he had a dry stool, Tang Qiuli sneered in his heart and continued: "The purpose of purchasing naval equipment from Germany this time is very simple. Because of our trust, Europe under German rule has built a large number of warships and  The technology of the aircraft carrier and the ability to deliver goods quickly, and from the perspective of the relationship between the two countries and the personal relationship between me and the head of your country, if I don¡¯t choose Germany, will I choose to purchase in the United States?¡±

    "The territory of the Republic of China, starting from the southern territory, has a coastline of tens of thousands of kilometers. It must have sufficient naval power to maintain and protect its country's maritime rights and interests and territorial security. Qiu Li dare not forget that at the end of the last century  , the fact that European powers knocked on China¡¯s door with just a few gunboats!¡±

    "On China's thousands of miles of maritime territory, there are threats from the Japanese and potential threats from the Americans. Therefore, Qiu Li has to prepare in advance. Such a large purchase amount will have a negative impact on the current economy of Germany and the occupied areas.  , it¡¯s no small matter, right?¡±

    "I would also like to ask Marshal von Strongs and General D?nitz to tell His Excellency the Head of State that the fundamental purpose of Tang Qiuli's preparation of the procurement plan for the German Navy is to compete with the Americans and Japanese for supremacy in the Pacific in the future.  !¡±

    "Qiu Li is so outspoken. Your Excellency, the head of state, must be relieved. Of course, if your head of state does not want to accept this order due to various concerns, Qiu Li will not have any estrangement because of it.  Thinking, we Chinese have a saying, ¡°You have money in your hands, but you still can¡¯t spend it?  "

    Tang Qiuli¡¯s words are half true and half false. Competing with the Americans for supremacy in the Pacific is the real purpose. As for the Japanese, that is the goal that he must completely erase. After this goal is achieved, in the PacificOn the battlefield, there was only one opponent left: the Americans. This way of saying it also emphasized that there was no room for reconciliation with the Japanese, lest Hitler let himself choose to take sides, join the German-Japanese-Italian Axis Alliance, and become allies with the Japanese. Not only  It will make you sick to death. How can you carry out the subsequent Pacific strategy?

    "Hahaha!" Marshal von Strong laughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment and said: "Dear Vice Chairman Tang, you are serious. Your personal relationship with our Head of State is obvious to all. For Germany,  The help the ** team defeated the Russians was also huge. Your selfless help to us Germans was often mentioned by the Head of State. How could he doubt the purpose of your purchase of naval equipment, Vice Chairman Tang? "

    "General D?nitz is also out of curiosity. You may not know that General D?nitz has always been known for his professionalism within our German army. He is very sensitive to anything involving the navy.  Interested, my words just now may have been offensive, so please forgive me, Vice Chairman Tang!¡±

    Von Strong's words were tactfully spoken and full of diplomatic rhetoric. They not only defended Hitler but also rescued D?nitz. Tang Qiuli sneered in his heart, "It's trying to hide the obvious!" At the same time, he was a little surprised. He was still very nervous.  Those who know von Strongs, how did a typical Prussian officer change his career to become a diplomat?

    D?nitz politely left, obviously going to report to Hitler. Von Strongs continued to chat with Tang Qiuli. Most of the topics revolved around the German Army's Moscow Battle. From the mouth of the German Chief of General Staff  , Tang Qiuli learned a lot about the details of this battle,

    Generally speaking, the content of the intelligence provided by the Yu De Shui Intelligence Office was similar. The Soviets lost miserably this time and lost all their money. What alerted him were these words of von Strongs, "Our Germans*  The German army is about to occupy Moscow. Although street fighting is still going on in the city of Moscow, this is the stubborn resistance of the Russians and cannot change the outcome of the war. It is only a matter of time before the German army completely captures Moscow! "

    "But unfortunately, the senior leaders of the Soviet party, government and army, headed by Stalin, escaped. Your Excellency, the head of state, will not allow the Russians to have any breathing space. Therefore, the next action goal of the German army is,  The main purpose is to eliminate the remnants of the Russian army. Even if Stalin escapes to the ends of the earth, they must be completely eliminated. Your Excellency the Head of State's determination cannot be shaken!"

    Perhaps von Strongs, in order to show off the German army's achievements, let it slip in his own complacency. Perhaps he was following Hitler's instructions to convey the Germans' intentions from the side, that is, it was possible to break the previous agreement between the two parties and pass the test.  Ural Mountains, enter Asia, chase and annihilate the remnants of the Soviet army!

    "Hitler and his generals cooperated in a tacit understanding. They said this in the telegram to himself. Now, he has sent his own chief of general staff to emphasize once again that he has good intentions!" Tang Qiuli said on one side.  Listen carefully and think.

    The welcome banquet was almost in progress, and Hitler's goal was basically achieved. The German head of state was not interested in the banquet. Accompanied by a large group of generals, he walked up to Tang Qiuli and said, "My  Old friend, you know that I don't like such occasions, but in order to welcome old friends, I would rather give up my personal preferences. Old friends are tired from the journey, so the banquet is over. You have a good rest in Kiev. There are some questions.  We¡¯ll talk about it tomorrow, what do you think, my old friend?¡±

    Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Thank you very much for the warm hospitality of the head of state. Qiuli had a great time in Kiev. In fact, I don't really like such an occasion, so I'll say goodbye!"

    After returning to the hotel room, Tang Qiuli did not rest. Instead, he ordered the radio station to immediately contact Zhou Yushan and Battelle in Germany to inquire about the purchase situation. Soon, a telegram jointly signed by the two came.

    After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli felt relieved. Although Hitler had doubts about himself and this large-scale naval equipment purchase, everything went smoothly and the German government did not set any plans on it.  What are the obstacles? Negotiations with major shipyards are progressing smoothly, and the price is within the acceptable range.

    So far, all procurement projects have signed contracts, and major shipyards have now started construction. At the same time, Zhou Yushan and Battelle will also study at the Berlin Military Academy. The more than a thousand naval cadets who are about to graduate will  On the grounds of familiarizing themselves with warships in advance, more than a thousand student pilots were arranged to go to several major shipyards to participate in the entire construction process of warships and aircraft carriers.

    Tang Qiuli is very satisfied with the work of Zhou Yushan and Battelle. He is not worried that Hitler will deliberately set up any obstacles. Otherwise, he will simply refuse. Moreover, at today's welcome banquet, he passed the meeting with von Strongs  The conversation with D?nitz also roughly revealed Hitler's true intentions. Tomorrow's meeting should be the time for a showdown!

    That night, Tang QiuThe lights in the room were turned off very late.
