Imperial Overlord

Just as Stalin and his senior staff were meeting to discuss the perfection of the thunderstorm plan, the Soviet envoy was angrily slapping the table in the conference room of the German foreign ministry building.

Although the crisis on the border has ended with the retreat of the Soviets, the Soviet envoy has no intention of retreating in the momentum.

Or from another point of view, they seem to have achieved great victories on the frontier, so arrogant that people can't figure it out.

"For the sake of the people of the two countries not having to shed blood and sacrifice, and for the sake of the two countries not having to meet with swords and soldiers, we made the last-minute choice to endure!" The Soviet envoy stared at the receptionist in front of him, furious.

The diplomats received by Germany kept smiling faces and didn't say anything to irritate him. They just kept nodding and praising the Soviet Union for being a peaceful country of benevolence and righteousness.

In fact, in this diplomatic confrontation, because of a series of military operations in North Africa, Germany has already made enough "lizi" in diplomacy, so it is very willing to give the Soviets an illusory "face".

Sometimes, the loudest country is not the most arrogant country because it takes the initiative to take advantage of it.

On the issue of North Africa, Germany is actually the country that has obtained practical benefits and does not care about showing a smile to the Soviet Union.

Rommel's Afrika Korps had reached the periphery of Port Said, and the mighty corps had been deployed along the Suez Canal. Capturing Port Said is easy, and crossing the Suez Canal is only a matter of time.

In this case, although the Soviet envoy is now shouting loudly, the war situation in Africa is already a fact, a fact that cannot be changed!

"Germany has crossed the Soviet Union's bottom line on the North African issue. You must stop advancing, take the Suez Canal as the boundary, and stop attacking the Middle East!" The Soviet envoy looked at the officials of the German Foreign Ministry and continued to repeat his own words. Require.

"Our military operations in North Africa are completely against the United Kingdom, not against the Soviet Union. There is a non-aggression pact between our two countries, and the friendship between the two countries can be said to last forever." German diplomat After getting the order of the head of state, it is natural to say it nicely.

On the Eastern Front, the Germans are trying their best to avoid war. Therefore, on the premise of not interrupting to gain benefits, it is in Germany’s interest to use the strategy of showing weakness as much as possible in Germany’s diplomacy.

The Army needed time to prepare for Project Barbarossa against the Soviet Union, and the Foreign Service was now instructed to buy that time for the Army, and that was the top priority of everything.

This is what makes diplomacy interesting: two countries that call each other brothers and sisters are not necessarily indestructible allies, but they may be enemies who stab each other.

But before the two countries were ready to go to war, they were talking about peace talks in diplomacy, and even shouted shameless slogans such as friendship forever...

This is really not insidious cheating, but precisely the charm of diplomacy at the national level. It is a learning and an art, not the continuation of the so-called friendship and affection.

There is no emotion between countries, only interests exist. Talking about feelings on a national level is more dangerous than lending money to a rogue villain.

"Once the German army crosses the Suez Canal, a war between the Soviet Union and Germany may break out at any time! Then this war that could have been avoided can only be completely handled by Germany!" The Soviet envoy continued to shout confidently.

"We have been considering the demands of the Soviet Union. After all, our two countries are great powers, and maintaining peace between great powers is the foundation of world peace." The German diplomat nodded with a smile and comforted.

Having said this, the German diplomat took a sip of water and continued to speak bitterly: "However, we are at war with Britain, and the war will not end if Britain is not completely defeated."

"However, my country's traditional sphere of influence in the Middle East and the bottom line of regional security cannot be provoked!" The Soviet envoy was still emphasizing that Germany should give up its plan to attack the Middle East.

"The head of state has already considered this issue. Please convey the compromise plan proposed by our country to Comrade Stalin, the great leader of your country." The German diplomat still had a fake smile on his face, as if he had never Back to normal.

He paused for a second when he said this, and then continued: "Britain surrenders. After the war is over, our combat troops will withdraw from Iran and other regions to ensure the independence and autonomy of the region..."

When it comes to this so-called plan, that is, the so-called "guarantee" promised by Germany to withdraw from the Middle East after the war, the Soviet envoy felt that he was about to lose his temper.

Are you embarrassed to say that you will leave after the war? If the war is over, and you have troops stationed there, does that mean that if you retreat, you will retreat?

At that time, the United Kingdom has already surrendered, and your Germany is already the world’s most powerful country. Even if you don’t retreat, can the Soviet Union still attack you?

This is simply blatant cheating! The Soviet envoy gritted his teeth with hatred, and squeezed out a sentence: "At that time, I'm afraid it's up to you Germans to decide whether to retreat or not?"

"Mr. Special Envoy! Mr. Special Envoy! Your words are serious! Reputation and commitment are the foundation of diplomacy between countries... If you question our mutual trust, you are not questioning the morality of the people of our two countries. "The German diplomat chose the biggest hat and put it on the head of the Soviet envoy.

Diplomacy, especially in such a chaotic world, the purpose of squabbling and wasting time is greater than the actual strategic development.

Sometimes it can achieve miraculous effects, but more often it can't place too much hope. In other words, diplomatic mediation in this war environment is just buying lottery tickets.

Unless it is a country that already looks forward to peace because of internal and external troubles, everyone will not choose peace easily. Human nature is like this: those who take advantage want to take more advantage, and those who suffer losses hope to regain what they lost... …

...

"My Führer! Your prophecy has once again led us through a crisis!" Baumann flattered the Führer in the conference room in Berlin.

His words resonated with Goebbels, and the Minister of Propaganda of the Third Reich quickly took the lead in applauding, looking at the man with a moustache, the **** of the empire created by him with admiration.

The smiles of Goering and Reidl became more natural at this time. The heads of state they supported on the crisis on the Eastern Front were now just about to reap the rewards.

"That's not a prophecy! My friend!" Li Le sat on the main seat and looked at his subordinates with a smile. He was actually very nervous these days, but everything was still working according to his plan.

After all, the Soviet Union still did not launch the legendary thunderstorm plan, and finally did not let the Soviet-German war break out in 40 years. All this has actually been confirmed by the history of another time and space.

"The reasoning based on meticulous intelligence work, sharply grasping the clues at the strategic level... This is more similar to a deduction, an analysis, not a prediction." Li Le boasted at this time, but no one feel something is wrong.

The head of state once again led everyone to victory, avoiding the war on the Eastern Front, allowing the army to continue to expand steadily, and allowing the German industry to continue its stable transformation. This is a victory!

In 40 years, Germany was not ready to go to war on the Eastern Front. The sudden crisis of war terrified Brauchitch. However, Hitler, the Führer, made another bold prediction that the war would not break out. What kind of courage was that?

You know, this is not the first time the head of state has made this kind of strategic prediction. During the armed entry into the Rhineland, the head of state boldly predicted that France would not dare to go to war rashly.

In the combat operation of the invasion of Poland, the head of state also seemed to see the cowardice of Britain and France, and finally promoted the great victory of blitzkrieg Poland.

Now, the head of state has won again, and even when facing the behemoth of the Soviet Union, he has also won! The shock that this brings to everyone is indescribable.

When everyone was amazed, Li Le solved the invincible mystery of his own strategic prediction. It was not a simple gamble, but a reasonable decision based on intelligence!

This, to a certain extent, made up for the apprehension of all the senior officials of the Third Reich.

"The shadow of the intelligence force of the head of state is really too powerful~www.wuxiaspot.com~ even infiltrated in the Soviet Union, and it is still able to obtain such important information." Brauchitch must also make a statement at this time, although He was somewhat dissatisfied with the High Command's intervention in command, but victory was victory after all.

Hess also joined in the ranks of complimenting the Fuhrer. After all, in this case, he really didn't have the courage to pour cold water on the Fuhrer...

"As for the military, the management and command of the military is correct." Li Le also didn't need to compliment in face, he was more concerned about the actual control.

So he didn't mind giving Brauchitch a little sweetness at this time, so he spoke to comfort: "At the strategic level, the Supreme Command sometimes takes into account foreign affairs and civil affairs, and makes some higher-level decisions, isn't it? Interfere with Army operations."

"My Führer, your wisdom is convincing!" Brauchitch hurriedly spoke, flattering the Führer in front of him.

The so-called big sedan chair is carried by everyone. The head of state, with Yu Wei, who has made a precise strategic judgment this time, gave an explanation to the Army Headquarters. Of course, Brauchitch is going to go down this level. He is already very satisfied with the attitude of the head of state, more than he estimated. He is even smarter, what else could he ask for?
