Four hundred and twenty-three. Visit France
France, February 20, 1942.
On this day, Baron Ernst Alexander von Breme, honored Marshal of the German Navy and Air Force, arrived in France.
This is a request made by Wang Weiyi himself.
Now, he must rely on his influence to stabilize the domestic situation in France!
In order to welcome the arrival of Baron Alexanderson, the Germans and officials of the French Vichy government formed a grand welcoming ceremony in the shortest time.
Apart from Guo Yunfeng and the necessary guards, Wang Weiyi did not let his friends accompany him, and only brought him from the Tsinghua Military Base to France:
Elena! And it was the German military uniform that Elena wore and accompanied him
Dietrich von Sauken, commander-in-chief of the German Occupy Army in France, and Bertan, the Prime Minister of the Vichy government, welcomed the arrival of Baron Alexanderson.
Prime Minister Betan and Baron Alexander are "old friends". During World War I, they had never fought on the battlefield.
General Dietrich was full of pride.
The first stop for Baron Alexander is France!
At both ends of the streets of Paris, French people who welcomed the Baron.
The war seems to have not affected this fashion capital at all. It seems that the war has never arrived at this French capital, which regards romance as more important than one's own life!
Men and women are wearing fashionable clothes, waving German and French flags, welcoming the Baron.
Especially those French women, I have to say that they are the most fashionable ones in the world.
Almost every French woman wore a pair of sunglasses that had just become popular, with white borders.
This white-framed sunglasses that have been popular for decades and have never been eliminated are a major "invention" of the French.
When Baron Ernst Alexand von Breme entered Paris, cheers came from the mouths of these Frenchmen.
They seemed to have no idea that the person standing in the convertible was the marshal of the enemy country!
The SS officers and soldiers immediately raised their right arms and made thunderous calls:
"Hey-Enster! Hey-Enster! Hey-Enster!"
The brand new Marshal's uniform was worn on Marshal Ernst Breme, and his young and heroic face, which caused the French woman to scream like crazy.
Some people even covered their faces and cried with excitement
Can you imagine this is the reaction of the destruction of the people in an occupied country?
Wang Weiyi frequently waved his hands to the surrounding German soldiers and French people, as if he was conducting a review there.
When the lady who came to present flowers on behalf of the Vichy government appeared, the surroundings became a little quieter.
The lady was about forty years old, and it could be seen that she was trembling all over because of excitement.
She stood in front of Baron Alexanderson and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Baron, welcome to Paris!"
"Thank you." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.
However, the lady stared at Wang Weiyi deeply: "Mr. Baron, don't you know me anymore?"
"You are" Wang Weiyi really couldn't remember whether he had seen this lady.
General Dietrich whispered in his ear: "He is Isabel, the wife of French Minister of Defense Guntermann."
"Hello, Ms. Isabel." Wang Weiyi nodded to her.
"No, Baron." Isabel's voice was filled with emotion: "I specially asked my husband to win me this opportunity to offer you flowers. Have you forgotten Lance? The flower girl who arranged flowers on the tank for you? The tank full of flowers"
The tank covered with flowers!
Wang Weiyi remembered it in an instant!
"Is it you? Are you the flower girl?"
"It's me, Mr. Baron." Isabel's eyes were a little red: "The diamonds you gave me allowed me to come to Paris and met my current husband. Without you, there would be nothing I have now. Baron, I have always wanted to repay you. Today this opportunity has finally come. I want to tell you that I admire you and love you crazy. If you took me away back then, I would marry you at all costs!"
The sudden incident caused the French to burst into cheers and whistles after a brief moment of surprise.
Isabel's husband Gunterman was in the welcome team, but instead of being jealous, he was proud and cheered loudly with the people around him.
God, my wife had seen the Baron so early, which was a great honor for me. Look, look, my current wife is almost able to become the Baron's lover.
The French way of thinking is really weird
On the contrary, Wang Weiyi was a little embarrassed: "Thank you, Ms. Gunterman, I would like to express my blessings to you and your husband."
Isabel presented the flowers to Wang Weiyi, and then gently kissed him on the cheek.
This time, the cheers were almost suffocating
"You are popular everywhere, Marshal," Dietrich said sincerely.
In the Vichy government, Wang Weiyi finally met his former rival Marshal Betan.
Of course, now he has to be called Prime Minister Betan.
Creation is a slutty French hero who resisted Germany back then has now chosen to work closely with Germany.
Betan seemed very enthusiastic. He led all senior officials of the Vichy government to welcome the arrival of Baron Alexanderson and expressed his respect with praise.
"The most honorable thing for me is to have fought with the Marshal more than once on the battlefield." Beiden said with a smile: "But the most regrettable thing I have never seen the Marshal on the battlefield."
General Dietrich originally wanted to say that those who had seen the marshal were dead, but when he was so happy, it would be better not to say this.
"The Marshal is so young, this is simply a miracle of God." Ravar, the deputy prime minister of the Vichy government, would never give up this opportunity to please the baron: "The undefeated god of war, the old baron, praise God and praise you, Marshal!"
The Invincible God of War? The Ageless Baron? Ditrich thought Ravar had said something very wonderful.
"Mr. Marshal, there are some journalists here. Do you mind answering some of their questions?"
"I'm very happy." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.
More than a dozen German and French journalists were called in, and soon a French journalist asked bluntly: "Mr. Marshal, are you here as a conqueror?"
The expressions of officials from Germany and France suddenly became gloomy.
Wang Weiyi still kept a smile: "No, I came as a friend. I came to France many years ago, I have been to Reims and Paris, and everything here left a deep impression on me. I chose Paris for the first stop when I came back, and I wanted to tell everyone that the friendship between Germany and France is inseparable. I will do my best to express my support for the current French government."
With a "wow", the applause of officials from Germany and France sounded.
"Mr. Marshal, what do you think of the Free France movement in London?"
"Is the Free France Movement led by Charles de Gaulle?" Wang Weiyi said lightly: "In France, there is only one legal government, here. The French government has been recognized by every country in the world except Britain. This is its legitimacy. As for the Free France Movement, I think they have their claims, but the claim should not be in the form of violence. They can send representatives to Paris for a face-to-face talk."
"You invite the Free French Movement to Paris for negotiations?"
In an instant, everything became quiet.
"Yes, you heard it right." Wang Weiyi nodded: "Why can't you do this? I think this is a good suggestion. The French war has ended, and despite sporadic resistance, the new French government has been established and will always maintain close ties with Germany. As for the Free France movement? I don't think that a person who once became a prisoner is qualified to lead it"
With a "boom", a burst of laughter came from the Germans' mouths.
The Baron is mocking Charles de Gaulle for being a prisoner of the Germans.
"Prime Minister Betan is the hero of France, and Charles de Gaulle is just a former prisoner." Wang Weiyi didn't smile at all: "Is it better to lead a country, or is it better to lead a country by a shameful loser? I think at this point, the whole French people don't need my advice. The only thing that surprised me is, is it not that everyone in the Free France movement noticed this? We are willing to negotiate with all resistance movements to listen to their demands, but there are two points. The first point is that I will not face a past prisoner; the second point is that this must be the case when the violent movement stops."
His tone became a little heavier:
"The resistance organizations and guerrillas are launching attacks everywhere. I must frankly admit that this will cause some casualties to the German army, but what really hurts is the interests of most French people. Once the attack occurs, the German army will inevitably fight back, artillery fire and bullets will inevitably fly across France, countless houses will be destroyed, and countless French people will die. This is not the freedom I want to see, nor the freedom you imagine, there is no doubt about this. So I suggest negotiations, and I swear in my reputation that the representatives involved in the negotiations will never have to worry about their personal safety."
This happened so suddenly that Beden and his officials had never expected Marshal Ernst to make this suggestion.
"Mr. Marshal, I heard that the Free French Movement is preparing to hold a military parade in London on July 14. What do you think of this?"
Wang Weiyi said slowly, but firmly:
Chapter completed!
