Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 49: Negotiation (1)

Following Ribbentrop, Oshima Hiro walked into the German head’s office in awe.

At a glance, Oshima was surprised to find that the European ducái, who is famous for his extravagance abroad, had an unexpectedly clean and simple office. This office was formerly a senior suite, with a huge space like a French palace building. The ceiling is decorated with numerous alabaster carvings along the siding. A row of huge carved lattice windows occupying almost half of the wall, without closing the curtains, the sun shines through the clear glass on the floor. A three-layer crystal chandelier hangs in the middle of the roof, and the surrounding walls are inlaid with light brown wooden siding, and several oil paintings of unknown age are hung. The ground is covered with maroon-colored inlaid wooden floors, which are polished to make people appreciate.

At the corner of the room, next to the oak-rimmed fireplace, is the most prominent set of furniture in this room. A huge brown walnut desk with a dark green embroidered carpet under the table. A green velvet high-back seat is placed behind the table. The top of the back is adorned with the German eagle emblem. The oak leaf ring and iron cross under the eagle emblem are covered with silver foil. The sun shines through the window. Silver light.

"Mr. Minister, where is your Excellency the Head of State?" Oshima Hiro looks around in a deserted room in confusion.

"In the small conference hall, please follow me from here." Ribbentrop walked to a door in the corner of the room, and grabbed a few steps before the two armed SS members behind him. The door, then stood on either side of the door.

The Japanese are very "comprehensive" about the data of this head of state, at least they think so. Standing in front of that door, Oshima hurried again in abdomen. He had to create a "good impression" in front of the European giant. This was the first time he met this empire head. "Good impression" "Is the most valuable "wealth" of a diplomatic official.

"My head." Ribbentrop bowed his head respectfully.

"These gentlemen are the special envoys sent by the Japanese government." Ribbentrov bowed backward and took a half step, exposing the bunch of radish heads to the firepower of the imperial head.

This is a tightly closed room without a window, and the decoration is as simple as the outside office.

"This man is very happy to show his integrity in front of his subordinates, but he is a guy who is greedy for enjoyment."

Oshima recalled a note from the "People Information" given to him by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, while stolen to learn about his opponent's weaknesses, he ignored the small words temporarily added by the analyst of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Foreign Affairs after the statement (hypocritical and cruel, greedy and cold, but is this really the man's true face?) .

The German head of state in front of him is indeed radiant, with a straight German uniform, gorgeous marshal collars and epaulets, shiny leggings military boots, short hair as bright as soft gold, a handsome face curve like a Greek statue, and a glittering bright morning star. Blue double pupil. In particular, Oshima noticed the two rows of medals representing Wu Xun on the left chest of the other party, and the brilliant silver knight medal of the collar.

"What a great Nanban man." Hiroshi Oshima secretly admired the Japanese aesthetic values.

"A breathtaking giant square jaw, a pair of small twinkling eyes, a nose that is not tall but also a different number in the Japanese nation, make up a face that makes people feel unassuming." Xu Jun also secretly looked at the Japanese special envoy to stand like a standing flock, Oshima Hiro. "A good Class A war criminal, it looks really hidden enough."

Just as the two Class A war criminals looked at each other with emotions and secretly admired each other, the other Class A war criminal could not help but come to join in the fun.

"My head, this is the big one... oh... oh... the head of Japan's Imperial Diplomatic Envoy, Mr. Oshma. Black Ruo Shi."

Ribbentrop's body was trembling, and his tongue was kinked. The reason for this is that he accidentally used the word "big" when introducing the Japanese Empire in front of the head of the Third Reich of Germany. . . . This is the most taboo term of the head of state. According to the previous notice from Colonel Dougan, the guy who made this mistake is likely to be castrated by the head of state. Although he felt that it was a glory for the emperor's head to perform his own official cutting operation, and he already had two sons, Ribbentrop believed that it was still necessary to protect his reproductive rights for the rest of his life.

"General Osmar. Black Ruo Shi, I have heard of you very early. Xu Junqiang endured the desire to burst into laughter, and said coldly to Oshima. "My Excellency, I represent the Great Japanese Empire. Express the most sincere respect and greetings. "

In the face of the German Head of State with a serious expression, Oshima Hiroshi bowed a 115-degree bow in awe, which was only a big gift to the Japanese Emperor.

"In addition, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and the Government of the Great Japanese Empire, we express our most sincere apologies for the harm to our heads of state by our personnel."

A team of Japanese made another one hundred and fifteen degree bow.

"I think, let's sit down and talk, Mr. Special Envoy."

Xu Jun leaned his head toward the conference table, and then threw down the Japanese envoys who were still pouting and walked away.

He touched a soft nail, but Oshima was unimpressed. He still kept the respectful expression and took his deputies to the conference table and sat down.

"This is Lieutenant General Weierle, Chief of Staff of my base camp. This is my deputy chief Colonel Dougan. You have already known Ribbentrop."

Xu Jun pointed at the conference table and pointed to the men sitting next to them.

"General Weyler, Colonel Dougan, I heard about two heroes in the army as an army attaché in Berlin. I am very honored to see you here."

Oshima quickly stood up and bowed to Weiller and Dougan.

Berlin Military Officer? Have you heard about it? If you want to have a relationship, you can't just talk nonsense with your eyes open. When he was serving as the Japanese army attaché in Berlin, Weierle and Dougan were still working as a salaried thief in the army headquarters. The other was frustrated and frustrated in the SS military training camp. Where did they come from? Hehe Wuxun can let him hear. However, basic diplomatic etiquette is still needed, and tolerate the expression of no contempt, Weierle and Dougen also stood up and gave a nod to Oshima.

"Envoy Oshma, please introduce your deputy head to the head of state."

Seeing the scene a little cold, Ribbentrop immediately took out the professional quality of his champagne merchant to set off the atmosphere.

"Ah, I'm very sorry, Your Excellency. This is the deputy head of this special envoy, Ambassador Schlatozh. Toschio."

Shiratori Minato quickly stood up and bowed to Xu Jun.

"Mr. Schlatozh. Toschio is the Japanese ambassador to Italy, my head of state." The champagne merchant introduced attentively.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Ambassador Toshio." Xu Jun nodded slightly in return.

"Okay, here today, I just met with your Japanese special envoys and exchanged their opinions. It is not a formal official negotiation. So, don’t be so restrained, Special Envoy Oshma, Special Envoy Toschio. Let’s start Use some refreshments."

Xu Jun extended his hand to the service soldier standing in the corner of the conference hall. The service soldier in the uniform of the waiter quickly pushed the meal cart. Picking up the celadon tea cup in front of him, Xu Jun moved the cup of tea elegantly with the cup to remove the tea leaves, and took a sip.

"Please drink tea, Mr. Special Envoy, very good Chinese tea. You must drink this often in Japan."

Xu Jun calmly put down the tea cup.

"Ah... yes, very good tea, Your Excellency."

Looking at the four Germans in front of me, except for the poker-faced Colonel who was holding coffee while holding coffee, the other three were tasting Chinese tea with more proficient gestures than themselves. No direction. Which of these calculations came out, when did the Germans start to make popular tea, did they always like to hold beer cans and blow bubbles? Oshima took a few sips of tea carefully, and then respectfully put the tea cup on the table. To be honest, he really didn't get used to this kind of bitter Chinese tea. He prefers British black tea with lemon.

"What is this man thinking?"

Seeing Xu Jun sitting calmly, Oshima felt a little nervous.

================================================== =====

Oshima Hiroshi can be regarded as an unusual number among the Japanese.

His old man, Lieutenant General Oshima Kenichi, served as the Japanese ambassador to Germany. After returning to Japan, he never interrupted the German guests at home. His family was very fond of Germany. Moreover, when he was young, he once fostered a family of German immigrants for a while. It can be said that he is a Japanese who grew up in a German environment and received German family education.

In accordance with the practice of all Japanese military officers' families, he was kicked into the Japanese Army early childhood school by his old man. Then came the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, and finally admitted to the Japanese army university that every Japanese officer must enter to get ahead.

He was able to successfully complete his military school career. Apart from his father's background, his German level also played a big role. Only three foreign languages ​​are taught in Japanese military schools, German, Russian, and Chinese. All Japanese officers must learn one or two of them. But there is a problem. Although they can both listen and write, they can speak fluently and can understand each other. Such people are rare in the Japanese army.

Oshima Hiroshi is such a crested feather. He may be the only one of the Japanese army officers who can communicate with the Germans smoothly without gestures and notebooks. The other groups, such as the famous army three-birds, have all been mixed in Germany, but the Germans still have to guess by communicating with them.

Oshima first worked as a heavy artillery for a while. This is one of the few technical arms in the Japanese army. There is no real material, but it can’t even be trusted. The simple thinking guys only have the work of infantry. . From here, we can see the importance he placed on him, so he was transferred to the mixed salary of the staff headquarters within half a year after the Second Artillery Corps.

Oshima’s remaining military career can be described as colorful. He was first sent to Siberia for a business trip, which was essentially spying. Subsequently, he was transferred to Germany as the deputy military attaché in Germany, followed by the military attaché in the Austrian embassy, ​​and the military attaché in the German embassy. The military attaches stationed abroad are the rarest places in the Japanese army that can be legally corrupted. They belong directly to the military department, not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Normally, no matter how you eat and drink, piáo bets all over the world. As long as it is for intelligence purposes, all expenses will be spent on confidential military expenses, even the ambassador can't control it.

Oshima had established good relations with the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military by relying on excellent eloquence and a large number of gold tickets in those years in Berlin. As I said before, this guy is a stranger among the Japanese, because the guy spontaneously completely democratized himself within a few years of staying in Germany. Both the language habits and the way of thinking are all German. According to his colleagues, this guy is a German.

Oshima adored Nazi Germany extremely, almost to the point of fanaticism. For example, he was very envious of the handsomeness of the German uniform. Since he could not change the style of the Japanese army uniform, he used his brain to change the original military cap from the British style into a German military cap with a high hat wall. As a result, the combination of the two was unexplainably strange and ridiculous, so Oshima’s hat became a laughing stock in Berlin’s diplomatic world, and only he himself enjoyed the German-style Japanese military hat in the communication place. Swagger through the city.

However, he, who admired Germany extremely, never thought that he would be put alive by the Germans, and almost ended his diplomatic career. Due to Germany’s sudden signing of the “Germany-Soviet Non-aggression Treaty” relationship with Russia, he had been leaping up and down in order to form an alliance between Germany and Japan and contributed to the “Japan-Germany Anti-Communist Agreement”. He even wanted to sign a military alliance agreement with Germany privately, and almost stabbed a basket that he couldn't make up. As a result, he was quickly recalled by the leaping Prime Minister Hiranuma. Because of this, he was forced to resign as the ambassador to Germany, but he even resigned with the Chief Minister Hiranuma's cabinet and took a vote.

However, when the Guardian Cabinet took office, he was the first official to be re-promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As the enthusiasm for Japan’s alliance with Germany heated up, Oshima Hiro regained his previous status and re-launched to send him to Germany as an ambassador. Too.

Originally, the first thing he did after he took office was to visit the German head of state and submit the national credentials. But unexpectedly, after arriving in Berlin, Germany's capital and vice-capital capital died in France, and the two factions were on the front line in France. They did not know where to go, and no one in Berlin could know their exact location. Even the Germans themselves don't know where their heads are, which makes Oshima Hiro find them, so the process of submitting the national document can only be delayed. Then came the news of Hitler's collapse of von Sted, and the great worship of Hitler, Oshima, was really sad for a few days.

The ambassador of the Great Japanese Empire to Germany wiped his nose and began to wait for the steaming new head of Germany to return to the DPRK, but unexpectedly, the guy Reinhardt von Stadt did not return in France.

Although the national book was not submitted in one day, the ambassador of Oshima could not be taken office in one day, but he did not care about these procedural issues. Since the German head of state has not returned to the capital, he will wait here slowly, first establish the previous The relationship has been pulled up again, and by the way, see if you can get any oil and water from the German dynasty. However, Oshima immediately noticed that Reinhardt von Stad must not be in harmony with him. Before waiting for Oshima’s event in Berlin, the Reinhardt cleaning began. Regardless of whether a large number of high-ranking Nazi officials that Oshima knew or not knew were caught, Oshima’s relationship network instantly became fragmented. If it weren’t for a handful of German-German relations established as a military attaché, his painstaking management over the past few years has really vanished.

In just one month of cleaning, Oshima Hiro learned the thundering method of the new German head of state. The top level of the German government came to a major blood exchange. The previous familiar faces were basically on the obituary board. The method is calm and fierce. On par with the big beard of Lu Guo, and more so than that.

Oshima suddenly began to look forward to meeting the powerful German new head of state. At the same time, in order to vote for the head of state, he began to study what kind of person the new head of Germany is. As a result, he was very puzzled. Although this German head of state was as good as other senior Nazi party officials, he was good at fighting, cheating, and robbing power, but he could not defeat the other party leaders to inherit the Hitler throne. Unless the German head of state has his unknown killer.

Oshima started to collect data from this German head of state everywhere, but as the collection went deeper, he increasingly felt that Reinhardt was not as simple as he seemed, because no matter what kind of channel, he could collect information about this. There is too little information about the apostle. In addition to the official articles in newspapers and books praising his merits, Oshima could not get a little bit of other information about this man. No one in this world can wash himself into a blank sheet of paper, but this man has really done it. Therefore, when Hiroshi Oshima received the Tokyo Telegram and ordered him to serve as the head of the special envoy, he felt the excitement he had never had before. Because he can finally confront the mysterious German head of state. What made him even more overjoyed was that he finally obtained detailed information about the man from Tokyo, and he also found the man’s fatal weakness from these materials.

This is a disguise with this clean intelligence, but the bone is full of hypocrisy, vainness and extreme greed. Oshima could not help sighing. Sure enough, no one can be perfect in this world. There is no **** who is as clean as a blank piece of paper. So when Oshima flew on the special plane to Paris, he was full of confidence in accomplishing this mission. However, when he was actually sitting in front of the German head of state, Oshima could not help but wonder whether his judgment was correct.

He may have made a huge mistake, and it is dangerous to underestimate a god.
