"Huh..." William II took a deep breath and turned to Goering and said, "Hermann Goering? I remember you. During the last war, you were Manfred von Richthore. After Fen was killed, you became the captain of Richthofen's squadron, am I right?" William II asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Goering said seriously. After Hitler's death, it became a certainty that Wilhelm II would return to the country. Göring now naturally had to take into account the majesty of Wilhelm II, just like he faced Hitler.
"You have done what I couldn't do back then!" Wilhelm II looked at the side and said solemnly to Goering after making sure that no one was there, "Maybe you think that after I come back, I will not be of any benefit to the National Socialist Party. Today, I tell you that the National Socialist Party will not be banned, and those who have contributed to the country will never be treated unfairly. The people have chosen the National Socialist Party, and I will not go against the will of the people!", although William II was particularly touched by the Junker landlord's move to allow William II to return to the country this time. However, William II did not forget that in the late stages of World War I, he was almost ignored by the Junker landlord and the army. From the moment he heard that Hitler was bombed, At that time, William II had already decided that this time he must find a checking and balancing force for the Juncker landlords. To avoid what happened last time, the National Socialist Party is undoubtedly the most suitable party.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! No one can challenge His Majesty's status!" Goring promised with a pun.
"Okay, let's go take a look!" William II patted Goering on the shoulder and said. Wilhelm II and his entourage entered the carriage for the armistice negotiations, and he sat on the chair where Foch had sat in 1918. Five minutes later, the French delegation arrived. The delegation was headed by General Charles Huntziger, commander of II Corps at Sedan, and included a naval admiral, an air force general, and a civilian official, Leon Knoll. Leon Knoll, a former ambassador to Poland, was experiencing firsthand the second collapse caused by the Germans. They all looked broken-hearted but retained a tragic dignity. Little did they know that they would be brought to this holy place of pride for the French to suffer such humiliation. Their shock was undoubtedly what the Germans present wanted.
"Wilhelm II?" General Charlie Huntziger said in surprise. General Charlie Huntziger expected that Hitler might be present in person, but he did not expect that it was Wilhelm II who he saw this time.
"General Charlie Huntziger, please respect the German emperor!" Lin Wei stood up and said, "This negotiation is of great importance. I hope that General Charlie Huntziger will not cause conflicts between the two countries for his own reasons. Negotiations break down!”
General Charlie Hunzig's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Wei, but when he saw Lin Wei's expression, he immediately knew that there were some issues that he could not know. The negotiations between Goebbels and Pétain had been informed by Pétain to General Charles Huntziger. General Charlie Huntziger also knew that the final fate of France may still be preserved. It all depends on the immediate situation. these people. Although General Charlie Huntziger wanted to know why Hitler was not present in person, the current situation could only allow General Charlie Huntziger to put his curiosity aside.
After General Keitel read the preamble to the terms of the armistice to the French, William II and his entourage immediately left the carriage because there was still an important matter waiting for William II to deal with. Negotiations will continue in the hands of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
Under the terms of the armistice, Germany was to occupy the northern half of France and France's Atlantic coast. French troops were to be disarmed and demobilized. France would pay for the German occupation forces and all German political refugees would be returned to Germany.
After Keitel read these terms, Huntziger immediately told the Germans that the terms were too "cruel" and much worse than the terms France proposed to Germany here in 1918. Moreover, "if a country on the other side of the Alps, which had not defeated France, made similar demands, France would never surrender. It would fight to the end... Therefore, he could not sign the German Armistice Agreement."
General Jodel, the second-ranking figure in the Supreme Command who temporarily presided over the meeting, did not expect that a man who was beaten to the point of despair would say such stubborn words. So Yoder persuaded, "General Charlie Huntziger, I understand your decision, but you have no choice. You can either accept the terms of the armistice intact or not accept it at all."
General Charles Hunzig stood up and said decisively, "We won't accept it! Unless you kill all the French!" As he said that, he led the French negotiators out.
"General Charlie Huntziger!" Lin Wei stood up and stopped General Charlie Huntziger and said, "There is no hatred between Germany and France. The hatred between us is just an attempt by the British to maintain their dominance on the European continent. The balance of power was caused by provocation between us! But at the end of the last war, you proposed harsh armistice conditions to Germany, and after the war, you contacted Belgium to invade the Ruhr area. How can you explain this?" Lin Wei The words made all Germans look angry. The Ruhr area, as the heart of Germany, has an important position. France's invasion of the Ruhr area made Germany deeply realize that the conditions for accepting the French challenge were What a mistake.
Goebbels also stood up and said, "Actually, it is not impossible for the two sides to negotiate, but General Charles Huntziger, we ask you to invite Marshal Pétain here within one day. He is now your Prime Minister of France. Isn't it? To be honest, I don't want to bother Marshal Pétain. Think about it, an old hero from the First World War was invited out by you losers to wipe the butt of you losers! In the end, the old marshal will do everything for his country. But you have to endure this humiliating moment, I really admire you French people for your shame!"
Goebbels's sarcasm made General Charles Huntziger embarrassed, but the one who admired Goebbels the most was Lin Wei, who was already sitting aside. "I didn't expect that Goebbels also knew how to express praise and sarcasm. How wonderful!" "Lin Wei secretly thought, Goebbels was sarcastic on the surface, but in fact what he said was that except for Pétain, none of you French people can do it, which invisibly elevated Pétain to the savior of France. status above.
"Mr. Goebbels, I will relay your words to Marshal Pétain!" After saying this, General Charlie Huntziger immediately turned around and walked out of the carriage.
Lin Wei, Goering, Goebbels, and Hess also walked out of the carriage. When they saw them coming out, a man walked out in a hurry. Lin Wei recognized that he was an entourage of William II. The entourage came over and said, "Leader Krupp, Marshal Goering, Minister Goebbels, and Minister Hess, your Majesty has already gone to the Palace of Versailles. Your Majesty specifically asked me to wait for you to come out and invite you to the Palace of Versailles!"
"Okay, but we can just make our own car. You can go back first!" Lin Wei said.
"Okay!" the attendant said respectfully.
"Goebbels, have you and Pétain reached an agreement? If we leave enough face for France in the armistice agreement, I hope France can fulfill its obligations!" Lin Wei said.
"Of course there is no problem," Goebbels said, "Such a loose condition cannot be tolerated by Pétain. Other conditions can be negotiated, but the French navy must prepare for the landing in Britain. Among them, the alliance between Germany and France, I think we should wait for the situation after the war with the Soviet Union to make plans!"
"If all our troops attack the Soviet Union, the French will probably stand by and watch!" Lin Wei mused, "We can't take risks. The Italian Navy plus the French Navy plus the German Navy are far from the British Royal Navy." It can be resisted! Kill their Royal Navy, and all British colonies will not be able to receive assistance from local forces. The British mainland will also be unable to obtain raw materials for the colonies because of the destruction of the Royal Navy. By then, we will be trapped in Britain. people!"
"In other words, before we attack the Soviet Union, the French must fulfill their obligations to us and send out troops to help us fight!" Hess added.
"But I don't understand why we want to fight the Soviet Union. They have a good relationship with us! Besides, our army cannot be resisted by the Soviets!" Goring actually said this at a critical moment. Goebbels and Herbert Stuart looked at Goering like a monster.
"Marshal Goering!" Lin Wei shouted, but in the end he explained helplessly, "Our raw materials are all provided by the Soviet Union. It is precisely because the Soviets helped us that the British naval blockade was in vain. But once After the British are eliminated, we and the Soviets will be the only ones left on the European continent. The Soviets will definitely not provide us with food and rubber because of our threats! Moreover, Romania has agreed to the conditions of the Soviet Union today. People have occupied Romanian territory, and now they are only a river away from our oil pipeline in Romania!" At this point, Lin Wei glanced at Goering, "You should know what this means, as long as the Soviets move , our oil pipelines will be cut off, and the armored group and air force without oil will not be able to fight at all! Moreover, the head of state also formulated the Operation Barbarossa plan to attack the Soviet Union. It is for this reason that the loss of supplies from the Soviet Union With the non-ferrous metals and grain given to us, our war machine can only operate at full capacity for one year before it collapses!"
"The reason why I want to reconcile with France is also for this reason!" Lin Wei said, "According to the information given to me by the Gestapo, the quality of the Soviet Red Army is very poor, but its weapons are very advanced. The sooner the war starts, the better for Germany. And I am ready to advise His Majesty William II to launch a general war and carry out nationwide mobilization from the beginning of the war!"
"It seems that things are inevitable. We... Hey, Lampard, what are you doing?" Golin was surprised to see Lin Wei enter the tank. Lin Wei turned around and said, "Tanks are safe, I don't even dare to take a car now!"
"That makes sense..." Goering, Hess, and Goebbels looked at each other and squeezed into Lin Wei's tank. For this reason, Lin Wei had to kick everyone out except the driver and gunner. To make room for a few men, Lin Wei's adjutant, Robert C. Crawford, had to sit in another tank.
In 1624, King Louis XIII of France purchased the 117-acre forest, wasteland and swamp area near the original site of the Palace of Versailles for 10,000 livres and built a two-story red brick building as a hunting palace. At that time, the Versailles Palace had only 26 rooms. The first floor was a furniture storage room and armory, and the second floor was the king's office, bedroom, audience room, wardrobe room, and entourage bedrooms.
The Palace of Versailles is a classical-style building. The exterior facade of the Palace of Versailles adopts the standard three-stage classical treatment, that is, the facade is divided into three vertical and horizontal sections. The building is symmetrical, with neat outlines, solemn and majestic shapes, and is known as It is the representative of rational beauty. Its interior decoration is mainly in Baroque style, with a few halls in Rococo style. In front of the main palace is a large garden with a unique "French style" style. The trees and flowers in the garden are unique, making people feel that they are beautiful after seeing it. The gardens surrounding the building complex are also world-famous. It has a completely different style from Chinese classical and royal gardens. It is completely hand-carved and pays great attention to symmetry and geometry.
Two hours later, Lin Wei and the others finally arrived at the Palace of Versailles. Goering and Goebbels had just gotten off the tank and started vomiting. Only Hess's face remained normal. It seemed that Hess was adapting to it. The sex is stronger. After Goering finished vomiting, he said, "Even if someone points a gun at me in the future, I will never do this!" Goebbels agreed. Lin Wei thought to himself, "Have I adapted to the environment inside the tank? This tank was specially cleaned by me, and the environment inside is not bad! What's going on with these two people?" Lin Wei didn't even think about it, Golin One of Goebbels loved to enjoy life, and the other was frail and sick, so it was normal that he couldn't bear it. Hess is completely adapted to this environment. Don't forget that Hess was in prison with Hitler.
But immediately, Lin Wei and the others packed up everything and entered the Palace of Versailles neatly dressed. Except for Goering, who was a little dusty because he was wearing a white suit, Lin Wei and the others could not tell how he had just vomited outside the Palace of Versailles. Even Lin Wei, who was wearing a black uniform, added to his cold aura.
After Lin Wei and others entered the Palace of Versailles, they were immediately led to the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. The Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, also known as the Mirror Gallery, is the most luxurious and glorious part of the Palace of Versailles. It is 76 meters long and 10 meters wide. 13 meters high. There are 17 huge mirrors on the walls of the Hall of Mirrors. Each mirror is composed of 483 lenses, reflecting the magnificent dome murals. There are 17 large arched floor-to-ceiling windows with excellent views across the mirror. Through the windows, you can have a panoramic view of the back garden of the Palace of Versailles.
In order to imitate natural forms, interior architectural components are often made into asymmetrical shapes and are varied. When painting interior walls, bright light colors such as light green, pink, and rose red are often used, and the moldings are mostly made of gold. Indoor wainscoting is sometimes made of wooden boards, sometimes made into an exquisite frame, with a circle of lace around the frame, and the middle is often lined with light-colored oriental brocade.
The beautiful Hall of Mirrors at Versailles is now occupied by the Germans again, for the first time since the Franco-Prussian War. Lin Wei thought that he had seen enough various characters, but at this time Lin Wei realized that he still had not seen the big world. The people inside were all prominent figures in Germany, many Junkers landowners whom he had met or seemed familiar with, and many more whom Lin Wei had never heard of. Von Schnitzler of Farben Chemical Company, Thyssen, the boss of the Steel Trust, Coal Mining Tycoon Koldof, and even Elaine, the head of Rheinmetall, and many others whom he did not know.
What was even more surprising was that Lin Wei saw his wife Linda. Linda, whose belly was slightly bulging, still attracted many people's attention. Stark, his classmate from the military school, was talking to Linda next to her. It looked like the two of them were having a good chat.
Lin Wei absolutely trusted his wife, so Lin Wei showed no strange expression and walked behind Stark while chatting and laughing, "Dear sir, please give way!"
"Lampard, you're here!" Stark said in surprise, "I was asking Linda if she saw you just now? Do you seem to be doing well now?"
"So-so, weren't you originally at Guderian's place? Why didn't I see you this time?" Lin Wei asked.
"Oh, I am now transferred to the 7th Armored Division, and Rommel is my boss!" Stark replied.
Lin Wei smiled and said nothing. Stark knew that he had obviously become the light bulb of the couple, so he gave Lin Wei an "I understand" look, and then left with an excuse.
Of course, Lin Wei's little moves were not hidden from Linda's eyes. Linda said strangely, "It's really rude. Stark just came over and kicked him away!"
"It doesn't matter, he won't blame me!" Lin Wei said with a smile, "My dear wife, how many months have it been? Why didn't you say anything when I left?" Lin Wei could tell at a glance that Linda's The belly was at least four months old. Logically speaking, Linda should have known that she was pregnant when she went to the front line, but she didn't know why she didn't tell herself.
"You were about to go to the front line at that time, and I didn't want to distract you!" Linda obviously didn't want to say such things on this occasion, so she changed the subject and said, "Father, Uncle Koldolf and Uncle Thiessen are talking over there. Let’s go over there!”
"As you command, my dear wife!" Lin Wei said with a serious face, making Linda's mouth curve into a beautiful smile.
