Looking at Bernice Finn in front of him, Lin Wei suddenly looked back at William II, "Your Majesty, I think that as a German-speaking country, Liechtenstein's merger with Germany is a very good choice! As for Joseph II, just As the Prince of the Principality of Liechtenstein, I think as long as His Majesty recognizes the status of Joseph II, this matter will not be difficult to handle!"
As soon as Lin Wei's words came out, Bernice Finn was immediately shocked. Of course he knew that the Principality of Liechtenstein was indeed a German-speaking area. Hitler, the former head of state of Germany? Lech once wanted to annex the Principality of Liechtenstein to Germany for the same reason as Lin Wei, that is, the Principality of Liechtenstein is a German-speaking area, but because of strong opposition from Switzerland and the fact that Liechtenstein really has no value, Hit? Le Cai did not take action. Unexpectedly, the young general in front of him would bring up this matter again this time.
Bernice Finn glanced at William II's expression and seemed to be quite moved by Lin Wei's request. This was not a good thing. So he said, "Your Majesty, the Principality of Liechtenstein is just a small pocket country. It is not worth the trouble of the powerful German Empire. Moreover, even if it wants to merge with Germany, the opinions of the citizens of the Principality of Liechtenstein should be listened to. Although their country You should have your own opinions!" Bernice Finn said directly to William II. Obviously Bernice Finn already knew that the young general in front of him seemed to be destined to win Liechtenstein, so he directly began to persuade William II II, hoping to save the situation.
The reason why Switzerland wants to protect this small country is because it knows that if this country is annexed by Germany, Switzerland will face Germany itself, which is not a good thing.
Before World War I, Liechtenstein had maintained a very close relationship with Austria, but during the war, the country's economic vitality was greatly damaged by this relationship, and it instead sought to establish a customs and monetary union with Switzerland, which was updated in 1919. Further entrust the country's external relations (defence, diplomacy) completely to Switzerland, forming a neutral alliance.
William II is still considering it, but Lin Wei doesn't want to let William II think about it anymore. Germany is currently fighting fiercely in the UK. Although victory is a matter of time, the death toll is getting higher and higher. Lin Wei previously estimated that it would be at most three It seems a bit optimistic that the battle will be over in a month. If they want to tear apart the British iron barrel formation, they will need more troops, so Italy and France will once again increase their investment in troops.
More and more people have received death notices. Now the National Socialist Party must find something to divert the people's attention. There is nothing more exciting than winning the battle, but Hit? Le has almost defeated all the countries that can be attacked. Lin Wei looked at Europe and sadly found that there was no country for Germany to attack. If he hadn't seen the Swiss today, Lin Wei would have forgotten that there is still a German-speaking area in the world that has not been merged by Germany, so he suddenly thought of merging Liechtenstein.
Although this country is small and negligible, it is still a country after all. Things like merger can attract the German people for at least a few months and make them temporarily forget about the war. Moreover, Germany had every reason to do so. Liechtenstein also had a great relationship with Germany. From 1805 to 1814, it was a member of the "Rhine League" controlled by Napoleon. Joined the "German League" in 1815. In 1852, the country signed a customs treaty with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was terminated in 1919 with the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Since Germany can annex Austria, it can naturally annex Liechtenstein, Hit? Lin Wei also knew the benefits of Le's attitude towards Switzerland at that time. However, Germany's main enemies, France and Britain, were still eyeing him. Hit? Le didn't dare to attack Switzerland like he did with Eastern countries, so he made concessions on this issue. Today, Britain cannot protect itself, and France has become an ally of Germany. Hit? Le's predicament at that time no longer exists. Lin Wei can naturally do whatever he wants.
"Your Majesty, the people in Liechtenstein are all Germans, we should let them stay with us!" Lin Wei said, "No one can oppose Germany on this matter, no one!" Lin Wei said threateningly.
Lin Wei walked up to Bernice Finn and put his ear to his ear. He said coldly with an expression that seemed bright to outsiders, "You, Switzerland, can't protect yourself. It's best not to object on this matter. If you agree, , Germany is willing to sign a permanent neutrality treaty with Switzerland! If Germany regrets it, you can announce this treaty to the world!"
In the blink of an eye, Lin Wei started to put his arms around Bernice Finn and said in a low voice, "Liechtenstein is only more than a hundred square kilometers. Although Switzerland is small, it will not cause friction with Germany because of this small amount of land. Is it possible?" Do you have relatives in Liechtenstein?”
I don’t know if Lin Wei’s threat worked, or if Bernice Finn had some idea, and actually said to William II, “Your Majesty, if Germany’s determination cannot be changed, I hope a referendum can be held in Liechtenstein! Let them make their own decisions!" Bernice Finn was very familiar with the thoughts of the people there. Small countries like this generally have no intention of competing for hegemony because they have no strength at all. Therefore, they hope for peace most, so as long as they release the news that after joining Germany, they must participate in the war.
In this way, the locals will definitely oppose joining Germany. This is the reason why Bernice Finn put forward this suggestion. Compared with Germany, Switzerland is too far behind to openly oppose it. It can only put forward this plan in the hope of stopping Germany.
"Okay, let them make their own decision on this matter!" William II nodded and said. William II was not worried about the strangeness, because he knew that the bad guys did not need to do it themselves. The National Socialist Party had solid experience in handling referendums. It's too much.
Lin Wei immediately saw what William II meant. As an emperor, he would not do such coercive things, but he could. Bernice Finn thought that no one would discover his thoughts, but he didn't know that this kind of problem was just a mere trick in front of Lin Wei. Lin Wei had dealt with this kind of thing too many times, from Austria to Slovakia, as long as Germany hoped for any result. , the National Socialist Party can achieve any results.
So Lin Wei immediately agreed, "This is the best!" Before Bernice Finn could get happy, Lin Wei continued, "In order to prevent this referendum from being manipulated, Germany must send observers! Protect the rights of local people. , let’s do this, our SS still has a group of new recruits training near there, and I can allocate 1,500 people to station in Liechtenstein. This way, we won’t be afraid of someone manipulating the results of the local referendum!”
After speaking, he didn't care about Bernice Finn's face. Weiwei stepped forward and said to William II, "Your Majesty, I still have things to do, so I'll leave first!" Normally Lin Wei can fool around with William II. For a moment, in the presence of Gustav, Lin Wei still said goodbye solemnly. In front of this super royalist dad, it was unwise to mess around.
It was already late at night, and it was unwise to work at this time. So when he was about to enter Berlin, Lin Wei did not continue moving, but returned to Yanger's villa. After returning to the villa, Lin Wei did not make any noise. Instead, his wife asked the servants to clean out a room and fool around all night.
Early the next morning, before Linda got up, Lin Wei took advantage of the dim sky to sneak out of the villa. After strictly instructing the servants not to say that he had been back, Lin Wei got into the car and went straight to the SS headquarters. After the headquarters, he fell asleep, which made some people on duty very surprised. What on earth was the leader doing at this time
When Louis arrived, Lin Weiqiang cheered up and asked him to send 1,500 SS soldiers into Liechtenstein. After that, he immediately continued to sleep. It was really not a human thing to rush from Austria to Berlin in one day. If he had known it, he would have taken a plane, no no ..., the plane is not safe, Lin Wei muttered a few words in his heart, and slowly fell asleep again.
Dong Dong Dong... Lin Wei's office door began to ring. Lin Wei ignored it at first, but the person knocking on the door continued to knock on the door relentlessly. In the end, Lin Wei's patience was worn out. He could no longer pretend to be dead and yelled. He said, "Come in, if you don't make up a suitable excuse, let's see how I deal with you today!"
Crawford came in with a flattering smile on his face and said, "Leader, there is someone who wants to see you!"
"Who is it?" Lin Wei stared at his bloodshot eyes and said impatiently.
"It's Hiro Oshima, he wants to see you!" Crawford replied.
"Tell him to give me..." Lin Wei's voice stopped suddenly, and he said for a long time; "Let him wait a moment, I will be ready soon!" After saying that, Lin Wei got some water to make himself look sober now. a little.
Crawford couldn't figure out his leader's obviously inconsistent expression, but he still said, "Okay, leader, I'll bring him in in five minutes!"
Crash, clatter, clatter..., Lin Wei washed his face vigorously, trying to wake himself up as soon as possible, and gradually remembered this person in his mind. In the past few years in Berlin, it was not that Lin Wei had never seen this person, but he was subconsciously avoiding contact with Japan. Although there was no human contact, Lin Wei still knew Oshima Hiro's name. Hiro Oshima is known as the Nazi among Nazis. You can imagine how extreme his thoughts are, and he can make Hit? The recognition of people like Le who look down on other ethnic groups has proved Oshima Hiro's ability. I wonder why he came to me? As his thoughts became clearer and clearer, Lin Wei began to think about Oshima Hiro's purpose.
Oshima Hiroshi has had a special fondness for Germany since he was a child. In 1934, Hiro Oshima served as the attaché of the Japanese Embassy in Nazi Germany. He was fluent in German and was active in the upper echelons of Nazi Germany. Soon he and Hitler? Ribbentrop, Lebbentrop's most admired foreign policy adviser. Under the introduction of Ribbentrop, Oshima Hiroshi and Hit? Hitler held a secret meeting and became Hitt? A true believer in Le. Hit? Le called him "a true Nazi with an iron will." If I hadn't always been opposed, wouldn't Japan and Germany be allies now? Lin Wei thought with a wry smile.
With the mood of challenging his own limits, Lin Wei prepared to meet this so-called Nazi among Nazis this time to see what the difference was.
Ever since Hiro Oshima learned that the leader of the SS was preparing to meet him, he had been in a rough and uneasy mood. Hiro Oshima had almost come into contact with all the upper-class figures in Germany, and only the national leader of the SS , I have never been in contact with it, and this leader of the SS has a hobby that makes Oshima Hiro very frightened, that is, this young leader seems to have a good impression of China, although I have not heard of this leader and China in recent years. However, Lin Wei’s behavior and hobbies in his early years have been studied thoroughly by Oshima Hiroshi. The conclusion of the study is that this leader seems to be leaning towards China in the choice of alliance in the East, and this is very important to Japan. , very dangerous.
Hiro Oshima is at home in Germany. This is because Hiro Oshima finds that there are many people in Germany who think the same as him. Hiro Oshima has a very good relationship with these fanatical National Socialists. It is precisely because of this that Hiro Oshima understands that once Germany's original racism has been led to places it should not be led, such as its treatment of Japan. Hiroshi Oshima has no doubt that Japan will fall in the hands of Germany's powerful army, provided that the German navy is strong enough.
Hiro Oshima has been trying his best to avoid antagonism with Germany. In Japan, the pro-German faction in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just gained the upper hand. They have just suppressed the pro-British and American forces in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If Germany still refuses to form an alliance with Japan, Whether in terms of career or dreams, this is a bad thing for Oshima Hiroshi, so Oshima Hiroshi took the liberty to visit the young national leader today.
"Mr. Hiro Oshima, the leader has decided to see you!" Although Crawford was respectful on the face, he still looked down on this man in his heart. In the SS, the fanatical Himmler faction had already been purged. Crawford really didn't like this person who had been talking nonsense in Berlin.
Oshima Hiro took a deep breath, arrived at the office door, opened the door and went in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a young general waiting there. Although Oshima Hiro had not talked to Lin Wei, he had met Lin Wei at some gatherings and immediately Said, "General, you are younger than I thought. No one would have thought that General Lampard, who commanded the Battle of Dunkirk and the Battle of Gibraltar, would be so young!" Oshima complimented.
This kind of non-nutritive nonsense has no effect on Lin Wei, especially since the person in front of him is still Japanese. Lin Wei did not pull out his pistol and shoot him. This is considered to be a high level of determination. If he didn't want to know what Oshima Hiro sells in his gourd Medicine, Lin Wei would never see him. Fighting maggots while squatting in the toilet made Lin Wei feel happier than chatting with Oshima Hiroshi.
"Mr. Hiro Oshima, please tell me if you have anything to say!" Lin Wei said straight to the point, "We are all very busy people, there is no need to waste time!"
"Hey..." Hiroshi Oshima said while bowing, "I heard that Germany has now invaded the British mainland, and Japan has achieved a great victory over Germany. I would like to express my most solemn congratulations, just..."
Here we come... Lin Wei said nothing and waited quietly for the next step. Hiroshi Oshima said, "Your country needs an ally in Eastern Asia. This will be beneficial to your country's strategic system around the world." Things! In this way, we can control the world situation at both ends of the earth!"
Lin Wei squinted at Oshima Hiro and said, "I think the power of Italy and France is enough to help Germany do whatever it wants to do!"
"No, young general!" Oshima Hiro said with a smile, "Actually, the leader understands in his heart that the French are not trustworthy and the Italians are not reliable. These two allies are not the best choice for Germany! "
Oshima Hiro's words immediately hit Lin Wei's weakness. Lin Wei really did not trust France and Italy. France's help to Germany was very limited, and Germany did not dare to accept France's help. Italy was indeed unable to hold up the wall. , but how did Oshima Hiro know these things
As if seeing Lin Wei's thoughts, Oshima Hiro said, "Although we in Japan are in the east of the earth, we have always been very concerned about the situation in Europe. The problems between France and Italy are not very profound. France's role is just To ensure that Germany's western front is safe and sound, and to prevent possible British counterattacks, oh, by the way, there are also Americans with ambiguous attitudes!" When Oshima Hiro said this, he took a deep look at Lin Wei.
Lin Wei was shocked and thought that he still underestimated this military diplomat. He should not be underestimated. But wait, he mentioned the United States? Lin Wei suddenly thought of the relationship between Oshima Hiroshi. Oshima Hiroshi and Tojo Hideki had a very good relationship. If he hadn't been out of school for a year due to pleurisy due to over-study, he and Tojo Hideki would have been classmates. Hideki Tojo is now the Prime Minister of Japan, and next year Hideki Tojo will become the Prime Minister of Japan.
The attitude of the United States, Japan's Tojo shutdown? Lin Wei thought of a possibility. Japan now has the upper hand in fighting the United States
Thinking of this, a ghostly smile appeared on Lin Wei's lips. Do you want to go to war with the United States? Ten Japans are no match for the United States. Once the United States becomes angry, Japan cannot resist it. Moreover, the Japanese bushido spirit can allow Japan to resist longer. If Germany can defeat the Soviet Union, it can give Japan some help and let this country This war is more protracted, and the longer it goes, the worse the fate of Japan will be.
"Dear Mr. Hiro Oshima, tell me what you think!" Thinking of Japan's future fate, Lin Wei also felt relieved, and his eyes when looking at Hiro Oshima also changed. In Oshima Hiro's eyes, It was the young leader in front of him who had already made some changes.
