"There are only two countries in the East that meet our conditions, and that is Japan and China." Goebbels analyzed. "Japan's land is small and its war potential is also very poor. However, the Japanese navy is indeed the second largest in the world after the United States. navy"
"Of course it's Japan," Goering's loud voice began to shout again, which made Lin Wei feel annoyed for no reason. "Most of China's territory has been occupied. How can we expect China to help us?"
"I object," Lin Wei said. "Since Japan dares to boast about destroying China in three months, it should do it. The fact is that since the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in July, Japan and China are still at war. I have not seen any action by Japan. The hope of victory, and as far as I know, Japan only took Shanghai in three months, and is still far from destroying China," Lin Wei said unceremoniously.
Having said this, Lin Wei considered his sentence, "According to the report of the Security Bureau's intelligence agency in China, the Battle of Songhu entered the end of October and the beginning of November. Although the Chinese army was in a passive position and retreated repeatedly, it still controlled Shanghai. Japan is an island country. , resources are limited, and it is impossible to compete with China, a huge country, for endurance and tenacity. Therefore, the only way is to fight quickly. At this time, the Japanese high command still cannot obtain a decisive victory over the Japanese army after several times of troop reinforcements. The victory did not even fundamentally change the situation of the battle. I was extremely angry and anxious at the same time. After careful study and discussion, the base camp believed that China had gathered three-fifths of its national troops in Shanghai and had already assumed a decisive battle posture. Previously, the Japanese army Keeping the main force in the direction of North China to seek a decisive battle is a waste of strategic deployment. Therefore, it was proposed that "the urgent need now is to quickly end the Shanghai Campaign" and decided to shift the strategic focus to Central and East China. To this end, it was decided to establish the Central China Front Army and command the Japanese army. The Ministry also ordered on October 20 to deploy the 6th, 18th, and 114th Divisions, the Kunozaki Detachment (9th Brigade of the 5th Division), the 2nd Independent Mountain Artillery Regiment, the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade from North China and China. 1. The 2nd Reserve Infantry Regiment and other troops, with a total of about 120,000 people, formed the 10th Army, with Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke as the commander, and prepared to carry out landing operations to open up the situation. At the same time, the 16th Division was ordered to be stationed in Nakajima, North China. The regiment was transferred to the demobilization sequence, and the number of Japanese troops on the Songhu front line increased to 270,000. This included 9 army divisions and 2 brigades, the main force of the 3rd and 4th navy fleets, and the air force.
".
Having said this, Lin Wei looked at everyone's expressions, "Although China and Japan failed in the battle for Shanghai, in this head-on collision, the Japanese did not show any strength beyond their opponents. They used the Japanese Army to occupy With one-third of the troops still unable to win, how can I believe that it will be helpful to our Germany in the future?"
Goering opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't know where to start. After all, Goering couldn't know so much about the battle that took place in the far east, because his informants in the Gestapo had already been cleared out by Lin Wei. .
After hearing Lin Wei's words, Hitler had a thoughtful expression on his face. Lin Wei immediately knew that the head of state had already begun to make a decision in his heart.
"Lampard, what do you think we should do?" Hitler asked.
"Head of State" Lin Wei thought for a moment, "I know that China's current situation can't help us much, but after all, China has a vast land and rich resources, and Japan cannot make progress in a short time." After all, although Japan has not destroyed China, now Japan's The momentum is indeed rising. If Lin Wei told them that China would counterattack in the future, they would definitely be considered sick.
Seeing Hitler's signal to continue, Lin Wei muttered: "As we all know, the Japanese navy is powerful, but as its opponent, China has almost no navy. Only the American navy in the whole world can compete with the Japanese navy. Japan and the United States are too far apart." Far away, if the Japanese can’t contain their ambitions?”
Lin Wei did not finish speaking, but Hitler had already thought of what Lin Wei wanted to say, "That is, Japan is likely to take risks and go to war with the United States after falling into the quagmire."
Now in Hitler's mind, Japan's danger has become more and more serious. It's true that Hitler loved taking risks, but he only took promising risks instead of jumping in with all his strength knowing that he was going to die. Lin Wei also knew that Hitler's temper, otherwise, Hitler would not have scolded the Japanese after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
"Lampard, tell me what you think." Hitler raised his head and looked at Lin Wei, as if he wanted to see clearly into Lin Wei's heart.
"Head of State" Lin Weiqing coughed and said, "As for China, I think we should continue to maintain a cooperative relationship with them and sell to them the weapons we eliminated and the weapons seized from the annexation of the Sudetenland. As for Japan, we must not form an alliance with them." When he said this, Lin Wei had already categorically said, "You may agree to some conditions secretly, but you must not sign any treaty or document. Although the treaty will be nothing more than a piece of waste paper by then, it is inevitable that after Japan and the United States go to war, the United States will use this as a Excuses to make things difficult for us.”
"I will receive the Japanese envoy in two days," Hitler muttered, "After all, the choice of the Eastern Allies is related to future plans..." Hitler was very hesitant. Germany needed a force to contain the Soviet Union's Far East power, and there was no one like Japan. Better choice.
"Führer, Japan's power? Hmm! I don't think it can have a containment effect on the Soviets." Lin Wei carefully considered his words, "I think everyone may not be familiar with this place, Nomenhan."
"Go on..." Hitler said simply.
"It's like this," Lin Wei talked eloquently. "Due to geopolitical conflicts, Japan and Russia have gone to war many times in modern times. In 1904, the two countries broke out in a full-scale Russo-Japanese War in Northeast China. As a result, Japan was victorious and China's Northeast China fell into Japan's sphere of influence, and Russia was forced to cede the southern part of Sakhalin Island to Japan. In 1931, Japan launched the September 18th Incident and fully occupied the three northeastern provinces of China, and then established Manchukuo in 1932 to obey Japan. China's With the support of the Soviet Union, Outer Mongolia declared independence in 1921 and established the Mongolian People's Republic, which was under the orders of the Soviet Union. Manchukuo and Mongolia are neighbors, and there are Japanese and Soviet garrisons respectively. The two sides have border disputes in many areas .”
"Lampard, what do you mean?" Hitler asked doubtfully.
Lin Wei solemnly said, "Führer, I think there are two main points to judge the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. First, whether the Japanese government can force China to surrender within one year, and the second point is in the Nomonhan area."
"Oh? So?" Hitler thought for a moment and said, "Lampard, are you saying there will be a conflict between the Soviet Union and Japan?"
"Yes, Head of State," Lin Wei replied, "The Japanese have always had ambitions for Siberia. Judging from their national adventurous style, they will never look back without suffering a big loss. All we need is Waiting for the outcome of the conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union to make a judgment."
Goering jumped out at this time and said, "Lampard, how can you guarantee that Japan and the Soviet Union will definitely conflict? You know what you said may cause us to lose an ally to contain the Soviet Union."
"Um?" Lin Wei couldn't guarantee it yet. Should he tell them now that Japan and the Soviet Union will fight in the Nomenkan area in a year? Isn’t this nonsense
After thinking for a long time, Lin Wei finally said, "I trust my own judgment." Goering opened his mouth to say something more, but Hitler stopped him. Finally, Hitler said, "Lampard, I will consider your suggestion carefully. You should go back first! By the way..." At this point, he stopped Lin Wei who was about to leave.
"It's about Poland. I need a plan about Poland as an imaginary enemy. I have already told the staff of the Wehrmacht that you, the SS, must also come up with a plan," Hitler ordered calmly.
"Okay, head of state." Lin Wei raised his hand, turned and left the Prime Minister's Office.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Office, Lin Wei felt relaxed. In fact, Lin Wei really hoped that China and Germany would form an alliance. With a large number of Chinese soldiers armed with German weapons, going there would be scary, but now China can help There are too few places to go to Germany. Even if he came to his door, Hitler would have to consider it. Therefore, an alliance between China and Germany is unrealistic.
As for the plan for Poland, given the current situation, there should be no major disturbances for at least a year. So there is no need to rush this matter. What's worrying now is that Linda must be very angry if Lin Wei doesn't come home for a long time again, right! That must be the case. Lin Wei affirmed in his heart.
Thinking of this, Lin Wei decided to return to his villa in the suburbs to spend time with his wife and children.
Berlin was still relatively cold in March, but under the attack of the Juncker landlords, the Jews lost all their money on the coal they had hoarded. The ordinary people once again used cheap coal. Under the propaganda of the newspapers, the Juncker landlords and Lin Wei, who has vigorously attacked Jewish forces, has once again reached a new height.
In the suburbs of Berlin, at Yanger Villa, Lin Wei rarely returned home after three months of busy work. Returning here almost made Lin Wei feel like he was in another world. However, this feeling did not last long. When he saw himself When his wife Linda and his son Albert & Krupp were born, Lin Wei's strange feeling immediately disappeared and was replaced by joy.
"Dad..." Lin Wei's son, little Albert, timidly called Lin Wei dad at Linda's signal, which made Lin Wei very embarrassed. Lin Wei now remembered that when he was a child, Lin Wei had hardly seen Gus. Taaffe, at that time, it was a critical period for Britain and Germany to compete for hegemony, whether it was the army, navy, weapons, or new technologies. Britain and Germany are both in full-scale confrontation. As the head of a German military industrial enterprise, Gustav & Krupp is naturally very busy.
At that time, the relationship between Lin Wei and Gustav was no better than that of strangers, so much so that when Lin Wei returned to Essen after graduating from the Berlin Junior Military Academy, he felt nothing at all when he saw Gustav. At that time, Lin Wei didn't understand Gustave. It was just work. Is it necessary to work so hard? But now that Lin Wei is standing in Gustav's position, he looks at his son Albert Jr. , Lin Wei finally understood Gustav's distress at that time.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Linda said considerately, "Lampard, children have never seen you, so it is inevitable to recognize them as strangers."
"No, no, Linda, this is my fault," Lin Wei said. As he spoke, Lin Wei suddenly hugged Linda and little Albert into his arms, causing Linda to cry out, "Lampard, you Crazy? So many people!"
"It's all my fault, I should have stayed with you when I had time!" Lin Wei said blaming himself.
Linda covered Lin Wei's mouth and said, "I know you are going to do something big. This time you have completely eliminated the threat of Jewish businessmen. It is definitely a great thing for us."
"Linda, do you have anything else to say?" Lin Wei blinked and said with a bad smile. Seeing Linda's confused expression, Lin Wei said warmly, "At that time, my father, Uncle Thiessen and Uncle Koldoff were about to lose. There was a stream of funds that blocked the gap at the critical moment. Linda, do you think my I really don’t know, are those funds from your Ronald family?”
Speaking of this, Lin Wei said proudly, "After all, I control the largest intelligence network in the country. Why can't I still analyze the source of the funds?"
"Lampard! I..."
"Linda, stop talking, thank you. If it hadn't been for your help at that time, my father and the others would probably have collapsed without the assistance of Deutsche Bank," Lin Wei said gratefully.
Linda, who was in Lin Wei's arms, listened to Lin Wei's tender words and said firmly, "Lampard, I only know that no one can defeat you. I am the only heir to the Ronald family. It is impossible for me to look at my husband." fell down, so this time I decided to help you after asking my grandfather."
Every word of Linda's words seemed to hit Lin Wei's heart, making Lin Wei feel moved.
"Okay, let's go in first and see that my son's face is red from the cold," Lin Wei said gently.
The two of them spent less time together and more separation. As long as Lin Wei was here, Linda didn't care whether she was cold or not. I wish I could get tired of Lin Wei all the time, but my son doesn't look like me. He is only three years old, and the temperature in Berlin in March is only 1° to 5°. Just because you can handle it doesn't mean your children can handle it too. So when he heard Lin Wei's words, he immediately said, "Look at me, I'm stupid, I don't even know where this place is." Then he carried his son and entered the villa with Lin Wei.
After entering the villa, the son was already asleep and ordered the servant to take the little prince to his own room. Lin and Wei went straight to the bedroom. In the big room in the bedroom, Lin Wei was lying on Linda's lap, with a satisfied smile on his face, and Linda's face was also filled with a happy smile. Everything seemed so comfortable.
Huh... But in such a comfortable atmosphere, an inappropriate snoring sound suddenly sounded. Linda looked down and saw that Lin Wei had begun to sleep soundly. The corners of Linda's mouth curled up unconsciously. Quietly staring at the person in his arms.
Lin Wei seems to be very dishonest when sleeping, always frowning. Linda lifted Lin Wei's body as gently as possible and placed Lin Wei gently on her chest. Everything seemed so careful, as if Lin Wei was treated like a porcelain doll. After confirming that Lin Wei had not been awakened, Linda breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Wei's regular snoring sounded in the room. Linda tiptoed over and smoothed Lin Wei's frown with her hands. Seeing Lin Wei's breathing gradually calming down, Linda smiled, kissed Lin Wei gently, and then slowly walked out of the door.
Jingle Bell…
"Madam, this is the call from the SS headquarters building. I have something to do with the master," the servant said respectfully while holding the phone.
"Give me the phone," Linda looked back at the bedroom and said to the servant. Linda's clear voice soothed the servant's heart. Originally, the servant was very happy to see that the couple finally got together. Unfortunately, the call came at this time and I had to answer it. So he was afraid that Linda would take out her anger on him, so now he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Linda didn't look angry.
"Hey, what do you want from Lampard?" Linda asked softly.
"Madam, we have something to do with the leader."
Linda hesitated and said, "Are you anxious?"
"No, ma'am, it's not that important."
"Oh! That's right," Linda said pleasantly, "Lampard is asleep now. Do you want me to wake him up?"
"No! No, ma'am, it's not a very important matter. So, ma'am, goodbye!" The voice on the other end of the phone said immediately as soon as he heard that Lin Wei was asleep.
"goodbye!"
From beginning to end, Linda's voice seemed soft and sweet, making the staff on the other end envious of Lin Wei for having such a good wife.
"If the SS or other agencies call, tell them that Lampard is asleep, and reject all calls except the Prime Minister's Office," Linda ordered calmly.
"Madam, I understand," the servant said respectfully.
Linda turned her head and glanced at the bedroom, "Let him have a good sleep!"
"Well..." When Lin Wei got up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. A casual expression appeared on the sleepy Lin Wei. Lin Wei swore that it had been a long time since he slept until he woke up naturally.
Squeak... Linda who came in saw Lin Wei looking like he was in a daze, and felt helpless, saying: "Lampard, let's have breakfast first."
His wife's voice finally brought Lin Wei's soul back to his body. Lin Wei rubbed his head and asked, "How long did I sleep for?"
"Since you came back yesterday afternoon, until now!" Linda said playfully.
"It's been so long..." Lin Wei asked, "Has no one called me for so long?"
"Your SS headquarters called me last night, but I refused when I saw you sleeping!" Linda stared at Lin Wei, "Don't you blame me?"
"No." Lin Wei's answer was simple and clear, "You also want me to have a good sleep. If I blame you, wouldn't it be too unkind? Besides, you are my wife."
"Okay, let's eat first." After saying that, he started to help Lin Wei get dressed.
"I'm not a child..." Lin Wei couldn't help but look at his wife busy with other things.
Breakfast is as simple as ever, beef bread + eggs and milk. Purchase croissant bread, use a knife to make an opening on the inside of the curved corner of the bread, bake in the microwave until the opening is crispy and brown, take it out, add sliced braised beef, shredded lettuce, and thinly sliced tomatoes. *,spare. Then beat the eggs in a bowl, add fresh milk and sugar, mix well, cover with plastic wrap, put it into a pot filled with water to steam. After the water in the pot boils for about 10 minutes, take it out and eat it with the beef bread. .
Although it is not as good as Chinese food in terms of color, flavor, and taste, fortunately, it was cooked by Linda herself, and Lin Wei still ate it with relish. After eating the last piece of bread and taking another sip of fresh milk, Lin Wei burped with satisfaction.
"Linda..."
"Um?"
Lin Wei kissed Linda like lightning, then picked up his clothes and said, "I'm going to work." At this time, Lin Wei's speed was absolutely top-notch. If Lin Wei had this speed when he was in the military academy, he would definitely be the best sprinter in their military academy. champion.
