Chapter 235 Washington Political Conspiracy (End, 4000
"You are a patriot, and so are your son, and I am a patriot. Although the countries we love are different, based on the common position of the patriots, I will not let you sell national interests, and even have no idea of letting you sell some intelligence." Hoffman explained, "The diplomatic conditions and our requirements you brought back are definitely not something you can decide. Without the recognition of the president and the deliberation of the members of Congress, how can a formal agreement be reached? In other words, you are just a diplomat and have no right to change any content, even a word or a punctuation."
Joseph laughed mockingly and said, "Yes, I'm just a melody."
"So my requirements are not high. I just need you to be a good soundtrack, true, complete, comprehensive, and without any personal emotional color or position, so that the American people and leaders will not misjudgment Germany's intentions and requirements." Hoffman said seriously, "I have said long ago that Germany does not want to fight with the United States, and you do not want to aid Britain. But you do not listen and insist on aiding. I always think that our navy is not strong enough and our industrial capacity is insufficient and we dare not fight, which forced me to become allies with the Japanese in the end. This is the misjudgment caused by your wishful thinking. Because of this misjudgment, how many people have died in the United States? How much real money has been wasted?"
Joseph nodded subconsciously, and then retorted: "Then why do you continue to maintain close relations with Japan after the U.S.-Germany ceasefire? Germany and the United States do not have irreconcilable deep hatred, but Japan's undeclared war and attack on Pearl Harbor is absolutely unforgivable, so we must teach our lessons to Japan. If Germany refuses to give up on Japan, it will be difficult to achieve peace between the U.S. and Germany."
"I'm too stupid to give up Japan. Could it be that Germany lets Japan be beaten up by you, and then wait for the United States to defeat Japan and realize the alliance between China, the United States and the Soviet Union before coming here?"
"No, no, the American people don't love war."
"The American people don't like to fight? Then why do you send boats and arms to the British and Russians to beat us? Just beg for peace and deceiving ordinary people. You and I are so familiar with you, how can you use these words to excuse me?"
"This..." Joseph smiled awkwardly, "President Roosevelt will make a public promise."
"You don't understand what I mean... I can say the final word in Germany, but Roosevelt in the United States can't say the final word. If you take a step back, what if he can say the final word? How many years can his body last? The next US president can turn against the blame. In Germany, as long as our political system does not change, the successor I chose and I will not fight against the established framework. This is our credibility advantage." Hoffman joked half-truely, "I think it's difficult for Roosevelt to complete this presidency, and I can continue to lead Germany for 20 years. Who has more credibility and influence?"
When Hoffman repeatedly mentioned Roosevelt's physical condition, Joseph was shocked. Roosevelt's physical condition was strictly confidential. It was only when he received the mission before he left that he vaguely learned that the president's health was not ideal. How could Germany know clearly? He immediately thought of the spy incident that had been tormenting the UK. Could this spy now be in the United States?
He suppressed his suspicious expression and continued: "If Japan doesn't say it in advance, the conditions for Argentina and South America to deal with your side are too excessive. South America has always been an important place of interest for the United States."
Hoffmann did not explain directly, but only sighed: "I am very worried about the United States being so strong. Germany's future road is very difficult..."
"Since the United States is so strong and you still give such harsh conditions, it really does not conform to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, and it is difficult for our government to explain to the people."
"It is because the United States is strong that I promised to give the United States such conditions. Look..." Hoffman laughed, "I asked Churchill to go to Canada. I don't care whether you annex Canada. I agree to let the United States control Australia and New Zealand, and I don't care whether you annex Canada. Mexico, the Caribbean, and Brazil. You share the Pacific Ocean with Japan, share the Atlantic Ocean with us, and control the entire Central and North America. Germany has fought for five years, sacrificed millions of precious Germanic young men, and won the current war with huge costs and countless victories. The United States has built a lot of arms, but has not won several times. Such a bad war performance can finally get so many results. Why do I think I have made a wedding dress for the United States?"
Joseph rolled his eyes but was speechless. The war between the United States was so cowardly that he almost ate two sons in one breath. Now he still feels scared.
"If your country does not give up aid to Japan, it will be impossible for our country to give up aid to Britain, so..."
"Is it aided Britain?" Hoffman laughed, "If you don't care about the lives of the American young man, then come quickly."
"What do you mean?"
Hoffman didn't say anything, pressed the button and called Chief Adjutant Dalgus.
"Tomorrow, a reliable person will be arranged to accompany Mr. Joseph to the Mediterranean. You can go and see Rommel's troops. Just say it's my point, don't hide it..."
"First of the People!" Dargus screamed, "He is the US special envoy!"
"Nothing, he is also my friend. It's no big deal to take him to see him."
"yes."
"What's in the Mediterranean? Rommel? I've heard this name! I remember that he is the Marshal of the Army of your country!"
"Nothing, there are elite troops there that are crazily practicing amphibious landing tactics. They are currently relying on Crete for field adaptive training. Rommel is their commander. He is not only the leading armored warfare expert in our army, but also the number one amphibious landing commander of the Third Reich. The British are very familiar with this name." Hoffman said casually, "It's only January now, and the English Channel is a little cold, and it's better if the weather is a little warmer..."
Joseph's mouth was as wide as an "o" shape, and he couldn't speak for a long time. If the situation was true, it seemed that the Germans were about to attack Great Britain soon!
On January 21, Eva successfully gave birth to a baby boy. Hoffman named him "Korle", which was also the name of his first child before traveling through time. Hearing that the head of state had an heir, the whole of Germany was sensational, and everyone was spontaneously happy for the head of state. The poets wrote enthusiastic blessing poems, believing that this new life was a symbol of Germany's future. Congratulations to the politicians of various countries flew like snowflakes, and waves of diplomatic envoys sent gifts to the "little head of state" who was still in their infancy. No one was blind. The head of state could be at least 20 years old and could be in charge of the Third Reich for at least 30 years. If it could be extended to 30 years, the little head of state might be able to succeed smoothly.
The top leaders of the Kuomintang also went out to rush towards the Eagle's Nest. Although the four giants each had their own thoughts, their congratulations and blessings were very sincere. Even the Pope sent a telegram to express their willingness to baptize the little guy with his own hands.
The next day, Hoffman issued a public statement, choosing Leon de Greer, the leader of the Belgian Rex Party, as Kohler's godfather, and explained the reason. I once said: "If I had a son, I hope he would be like Leon!" Now that I have a son, it is appropriate to ask Leon to be the godfather and a symbol of the spirit of European solidarity!
This decision has achieved a result of a few tricks: on the one hand, not choosing any big boss in the KS Party as the godfather, avoiding the embarrassment of publicly selecting successors and second-in-commands, and preventing the relationship between the four giants from breaking through the existing framework; on the other hand, Leon was a Belgian, and choosing him as the godfather can further unite the Belgians and thus enhance the cohesion of the European Union. At least after the Belgians learned about this news, they have regarded Leon as Belgian's future political leader; on the last, the open choice of the godfather further weakened the KS Party's suppression of the church's power, which is conducive to uniting more people and suppression. How can the Third Reich, which opposes the church, call the wind and rain in Europe and be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?
The church soon noticed the changes in Germany's religious policy over the past two years, and naturally was happy to repay them.
However, what is hotly discussed on the streets of Washington at this moment is not the birth of the little head of state, but another piece of news, which is said to be first spread by the State Council.
"Patrick, I heard you have an unknown major discovery? Has China discovered a large oil field again?" A group of friends laughed and revealed Patrick's shortness without mercy. The poor young man received news from China a few months ago and shouted that China had discovered a large oil field. In fact, the telegram clearly stated, "The Chinese authorities discovered crude oil wells for industrial use in Gansu Province. The daily oil output is about 2,460 kilograms, and the annual oil output is expected to be about 900,000 kilograms. The rest of the exploration is underway. We believe that there are larger oil wells around to be mined..." Since the United States generally only uses two units of measurement, "pounds" and "tons", Patrick carelessly treats kilograms as tons, believing that China has an oil field with an annual output of 900,000 tons (actually, the Yumen Oilfield with only 900 tons). After it was made clear that it was a complete joke, the nickname of "Mr. Large Oilfield" spread.
"No! It's not about China!" Patrick raised his head proudly, "It's about the United States."
“What is it?”
"The senior officials conducted secret diplomatic talks with Germany, and the Germans put forward harsh peace conditions. Vice President Wallace, who is currently acting in the power of the president, is ready to accept..."
Everyone who heard this was shocked. The news detonated three political bombs in one breath: First, President Roosevelt was ill and Vice President Wallace presided over the work; Second, the United States and Germany were in secret peace; Third, the conditions for peace in Germany were very harsh, but the vice president was still ready to accept it...
"O God!"
