I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"Mr. Baili, I have already submitted a letter of request to the German government before you arrived in Berlin. I hope that Hitler will arrange a time to meet you. The German government has agreed to this!" Cheng Tianfang said to Jiang Baili and Jiang Weiguo during the private meeting.

"That's good!" Jiang Baili breathed a sigh of relief, "Since Hitler is willing to meet, it means that he doesn't want to exclude China or give up China for the time being. Then there is hope for us to continue to maintain Sino-German relations!"

"But..." Cheng Tianfang had a gloomy look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Weiguo asked.

Cheng Tianfang sighed: "Hiroshi Oshima, the military attache of the Japanese embassy in Germany, has been frequently active in Berlin, and has met with high-ranking German military and political officials many times alone, and was personally interviewed twice by Hitler. Toshio Tori was also carrying out various political activities in Berlin at this time, with a clear purpose of persuading Germany to abandon China and form an alliance with Japan instead.

Although Hitler's attitude is still unclear, all signs indicate that Hitler is more and more inclined to ally with Japan!"

"The Japanese are not slow..." Jiang Baili also had a gloomy look on his face, "It seems that our trip to Germany this time may not be so smooth!"

Jiang Weiguo snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? On the battlefield, we must defeat the Japanese, and on the diplomatic stage, we must also defeat the Japanese!"

Jiang Baili looked at Jiang Weiguo, and smiled helplessly. He thought Jiang Weiguo's words were just young and energetic, because he knew very well that it was already very difficult to maintain Sino-German relations, not to mention the fact that there were Japanese on both sides of the border between China and Germany. The country obstructed in every possible way.

Jiang Baili's visit to Germany this time was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to go to Europe. He wanted to start a diplomatic war with Japan and try his best to win international sympathy and assistance for the upcoming all-out war between China and Japan. Among them, Germany was the focus and the key core.

Chiang Kai-shek instructed Jiang Baili to do everything possible to destroy the cooperation and alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan. Even if the task cannot be successfully completed, at least he must be able to persuade Hitler not to be so warm with Japan and not to support Japan's attack on China, even in the Sino-Japanese It is also good to remain neutral after the war, and at the same time, Germany will not prevent and hinder the Chinese government's independent war against Japan.

Right now, Germany is China's most important and most dependent cooperative ally. If this ally is on the side of China's enemy Japan, it is obvious that the blow to China will be very heavy.

At this time, the diplomatic relations between China and Germany were in the most intimate honeymoon period in history.

In fact, looking through the modern Chinese history after [-], it is not difficult to find that the Eastern and Western powers such as Japan, Soviet Russia, Britain, and France all brought serious disasters to China. Gritting his teeth with hatred, but looking back at Germany, which is also one of the Western powers but has been repeatedly besieged, the Chinese and the Chinese government (whether it is the Beiyang government or the Nationalist government) are full of a strange favor for it.

First of all, although Germany also launched an invasion and colonial war against China, its scale and harm were much smaller than those of Japan, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France. As a late country (Germany was not unified until 1871, and the United Kingdom launched the first Opium War against China 30 years ago), Germany, as a rising star, has naturally suffered from the joint suppression of Britain, France, the Soviet Union (Russia) and other countries. Isolation, diplomatic uglification, economic blockade, military intervention and other group attacks naturally made China, which is in the same boat, sympathize with it. Moreover, "the enemy of the enemy is a friend" is also an eternal truth; third, the German character and Its reputation in the world is much better than that of Britain, France, Japan and the Soviet Union.

For example, in Africa, Africans who work for Germans can get a salary no lower than that of German workers, while countries such as Britain and France are completely brutally enslaved, and it is normal for locals to not get a penny after being forced to work. The rigorous, fair, serious, and old-fashioned national character of the Germans is undoubtedly more acceptable and acceptable to the Chinese than the naked gangster faces of Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Japan and other countries that claim to be "God's chosen people" but openly do the devil's work. welcome.

In modern history, Germany was the first major western country to sign a fair and mutually beneficial treaty with China. Fourth, the Germans have world-class military quality and technological level, and their industrial development is also the highest in the world, but their homeland is small Moreover, resources are scarce, while China has a vast land and rich resources, but has been weak for a long time, and its industry and technology are very backward. Both countries have the determination and willingness to rise and prosper, and the two countries are separated by thousands of miles. There is basically no major conflict in terms of territorial disputes and national interests. Contradictions and conflicts, so it is reasonable for the two countries to repeatedly form alliances and learn from each other's strengths.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, China and Germany have established friendly diplomatic relations and an arms trade alliance.

Since Germany has just completed its reunification and has not yet entered the stage of imperialism, Germany has basically no imperialist colonial ambitions towards China, and China also regards Germany as a Western partner to help China achieve modernization. The new military establishment at the end of the Qing Dynasty They were basically formulated by German military attaches, and most of the modern muskets, artillery, and warships equipped by the Qing army were also produced in Germany, such as the famous Krupp cannon, the "Dingyuan" class armored battleship of the Beiyang Navy, and the "Jingyuan" class. "Class armored cruiser, the Beiyang government's modern army was also built by German instructors and consultants.

After the Sino-Japanese War, Bismarck, Germany's "iron-blooded prime minister", adopted a benevolent attitude towards China, which was completely opposite to the attitude of "taking advantage of the fire and swarming to carve up" China. experience.

In addition, Germany's assistance to China is not limited to the military, but also extends to the field of industrial and technical exchanges.

For example, German engineers from Siemens and Krupp helped China build the first batch of power plants and steelmaking plants in modern times; engineers from Siemens installed China's first electric light in the Summer Palace, Beijing's first The waterworks use German aeg motors and pumps.

During and around the First World War, as Germany had successfully risen, it also had imperialist expansion ambitions, and Sino-German relations fell into a trough, until the two sides declared war on each other in [-] and broke down completely.

After the collapse of the Beiyang government and the completion of the national reunification of the Chinese national government, China and Germany joined hands again.

The reason is also very simple. After the First World War, Germany was defeated, its national strength was greatly weakened, and it fell into a state of poverty and helplessness before its rise. As a victorious country, China was still the object of carve-up and colonization by Eastern and Western powers.

The two poor and weak countries therefore had to reunite and once again learn from each other's strengths to achieve their respective goals of recovery.

At this time, China was in a state of warlords and separatists for years, so the demand for arms was huge. This made Germany, a major arms producer, start to focus on entering China's huge arms and military supplies market.

In addition, Germany is not interested in China's internal affairs, and the two governments will not clash due to differences in ideology.

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek and the national government also believed that there were many places in German history that China could emulate, and that the unification of Germany could serve as a model for the national government to truly unify China. Therefore, the two sides hit it off and cooperated again.

This second "Sino-German cooperation" began in 1920 (the first "Sino-German cooperation" refers to the cooperation between China's late Qing government, Beiyang government and Germany before the outbreak of World War I).

After Hitler's Nazi Germany was established, China became Germany's largest trading partner in the Far East. Last year (1935), the trade volume between China and Germany exceeded 2 million U.S. dollars, while the trade volume between Japan and Germany in the same year was less than 1 million U.S. dollars.

Germany was in urgent need of industrial resources such as tungsten sand, bristle, tung oil, antimony, manganese, and tin produced in China. In exchange, China obtained a large number of German-style weapons from Germany, and a large number of German military advisers came to China to help the national government establish a modern German As well as guiding Chiang Kai-shek to "suppress the communist bandits and civil strife", the most elite German armorers and central instructors in the Chinese army in history all wore German m-35 helmets and held German guns to fight bloody battles with the Japanese army (War of Resistance Against Japan In the early days, Chiang Kai-shek and the national government expected to build [-] reorganized German armored divisions to prepare for the war of resistance. Later, most of these elite troops were consumed in the Songhu battlefield and the Nanjing defense battle), and the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army The huge loss in the "encirclement and suppression" was also due to the fact that the National Army implemented the correct and effective "cage nibble" tactics of "step by step, steady and steady" under the guidance of the German military adviser. Military operations also featured excellent performances by German military advisers.

Even after the full-scale war between China and Japan in July 1937, the Sino-German cooperative relationship was still broken, and Hitler turned a blind eye until 7 when Germany recognized "Manchukuo" and "Wang Puppet Nanjing Government" as well as China and Germany. The formal declaration of war will completely end this "Sino-German cooperation".

At this time, Hitler and the German military and political leaders were very entangled in their attitudes towards China, an "old friend" who had sympathized with him and helped each other for many years. If China was a powerful country, it would naturally and inevitably become Germany's most ideal ally. But today, China is still a big and weak giant with mud feet, while Japan, which is at odds with China, is more and more welcomed and regarded by Germany because of its continuous rise.

Hitler understood that if Germany wants to conquer Europe and defeat enemy countries such as Britain, France and the Soviet Union, it must have several reliable and powerful allies. In addition to Italy, Germany must choose one of China and Japan, which have incompatible relations with each other.

The Nanjing side and the Tokyo side are also very aware of this, so the diplomats of the two countries have launched one diplomatic game after another in Berlin. The special envoys of the two countries continue to come to Berlin from Nanjing and Tokyo like crucian carp. With such missions and tasks.

Section 017 Berlin (2)

Due to his busy schedule, Hitler would not meet Jiang Baili and Jiang Weiguo immediately. According to the reply from the German government, Hitler would meet Jiang Baili in a side hall of the Olympia Stadium in Berlin after presiding over the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on August 8.

Therefore, for the next four days, Jiang Weiguo lived in the embassy in Germany with Jiang Baili and others.

Jiang Baili has been staying at home. He is preparing all kinds of materials like a student who is about to participate in a graduation thesis quiz, hoping to convince Hitler by citing classics in this rare opportunity to meet Hitler. Although Jiang Weiguo is fine. He did it, but he didn’t have nothing to do. He frequently sent telegrams to Gu Weijun who was in Paris, France, paying attention to the three tasks he assigned to Gu Weijun. Two, but the third will take a while.

When Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Baili lived in the embassy, ​​several groups of soldiers came to visit the embassy.

"General Jiang, how is the domestic situation? I heard that the Japanese have attacked us in North China again. Is it true?"

"When will the national government prepare to go to war against Japan? Can you tell us? We are all eager to return to the country to serve the country as soon as possible!"

"The country sent us to Germany in the hope that we could become useful talents for the country. Now the time has come for the country to use us! We don't want to stay in Germany anymore! When the country is in crisis, we are all eager to return!"

"Damn it! Brothers, let's go back to China! Fuck those bastard little Japanese!" One of the oldest soldiers, who was about [-] years old, slapped the table with his face livid and shouted angrily.

The soldiers who came to visit Jiang Baili were all Chinese soldiers, all of them were very young, and they all wore new German military uniforms. They were elite officers selected by the National Government and sent to Germany for further study. Jiang Weiguo would have been one of them. member.

Since Germany has announced its withdrawal from the League of Nations (League of Nations) and abolished the "Treaty of Versailles", the German army has been rebuilt, and a large number of military academies that were originally ordered to be closed by the victorious countries have also reopened. Among the high-spirited German military students, there are many oriental soldiers with yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes. Half of them are from China, half from Japan, and very few are from Thailand (at this time, there are only 5 sovereign countries in Asia, China, Japan, etc.) , Thailand, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the countries and regions are colonies of great powers).

Hearing that Jiang Baili came to Germany on behalf of the Nationalist Government, these military officers who stayed in Germany hurried over to inquire about the domestic situation, and volunteered to return to China to join the war in advance.

"I understand everyone's patriotism and patriotism, and I am also happy that our country has young people who are loyal and patriotic like you, but..." Jiang Baili said with a smile, "Everyone must be calm and restrained, and we must not be impulsive. As for the delay in your studies, the government and the chairman have their own opinions, and the country will definitely call you when it needs you!"

"The Japanese are really deceiving people too much!" A heroic lieutenant looked extremely resentful, "First occupied the Northeast, then North China, and occupied our Taiwan for 40 years! They have been looking forward to Shu and making progress! Could it be that they really deceived me? No one in China? Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will be destroyed! How can there be no one in the majestic China?" He was furious, and his words resounded loudly.

"Well said!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, he really likes this kind of real young soldier with passion.

"You are..." The lieutenant looked at Jiang Weiguo curiously.

Jiang Baili laughed and said, "He is Jiang Weiguo, the chairman's second son!"

"Ah?" The officers at the scene were all taken aback.

"But I am more like you, just a Chinese soldier!" Jiang Weiguo smiled and pointed to the second lieutenant's uniform on his body.

"Even the chairman's son has joined the army! It seems that the government is finally going to be tough on Japan!" All the officers at the scene felt excited and excited.

"My name is Long Yunfeng!" The lieutenant extended his hand to Jiang Weiguo enthusiastically, "Nanjing people, Germany since the Republic of China 23 years ago, and now studying at the Armor Academy of the Berlin Military Academy!"

"Okay!" Jiang Weiguo and Long Yunfeng shook hands, "It won't be long before we can fight side by side on the battlefield!"

"My name is Chu Qiming!" Another lieutenant officer came over to shake hands with Jiang Weiguo, "I am from Yangzhou, Germany since the Republic of China 23 years ago, and now I am studying at the Infantry Academy of the Army Military Academy in Berlin!" Chu Qiming has fair skin and delicate features. It looks elegant and gentle.

"Xu Yuwei, from Zaozhuang, Shandong!"

"Zhang Zigeng, from Hefei, Anhui!"

"Qiu Qingquan, from Yongjia, Zhejiang!" Among the soldiers, the oldest officer with thick eyebrows and big eyes introduced himself.

"Ah?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback, "You are Qiu Qingquan?"

Qiu Qingquan was stunned: "Yes, I am Qiu Qingquan!" Qiu Qingquan is 34 years old this year, with the rank of major general, and he is studying at the German Army University.

Qiu Qingquan is hot-tempered, rude, and aggressive, but he is by no means a reckless man. On the contrary, he has a very high level of education. He is not only proficient in German and English, but also good at writing poems and essays. The army is well-equipped.

The Central Army University (Whampoa Military Academy) planned to send a group of outstanding military officers to study in Germany two years ago, and Qiu Qingquan ranked first in the exam.

"I have admired your name for a long time!" Jiang Weiguo smiled and thumped Qiu Qingquan lightly, "General Qiu, don't worry, when you and everyone finish your studies, you will be able to return to China to fight the enemy for the country with me and all the soldiers of the national army!"

Qiu Qingquan nodded, but his expression was still very impatient: "I really want to go back to China soon!" He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists with glaring eyes.

Jiang Weiguo shook hands with these German military officers one by one with a smile on his face, and secretly made up their minds, "These officers are good, they are all young, full of enthusiasm and ability, and I want to form a modern and powerful army in the future , this group of officers can just be used by me and become the backbone of my army and the core personnel of my personal power!" Jiang Weiguo was thinking about it, and suddenly thought of something in his heart, he must not forget to establish in the rear after returning to China. A new type of military academy, because training a large number of excellent officers is also a matter that cannot be ignored for the national army to improve its combat effectiveness.

But, this thing still needs fucking money.

After Qiu Qingquan, Long Yunfeng, Chu Qiming and other military officers left, several people came to Jiang Baili and Jiang Weiguo to inquire about the domestic situation and the situation in East Asia.

In fact, first, those who can study in Germany are high-ranking elites, and second, those who can go directly to the embassy of the Nationalist Government in Germany will naturally have a higher status.

"Mr. Baili, the junior Ju Boqiang, is studying mechanics and military engineering at the Technical University of Berlin!"

"Mr. Baili, junior Wang Wenying, is studying political science and economics at the University of Berlin!"

The two leading youths introduced themselves politely.

Jiang Weiguo took a look. They were both about 23 or [-] years old, and they looked "very similar". They both wore glasses, and they were both "weak".

Jiang Weiguo nodded with a smile, and shook hands with the two: "Hello, my name is Jiang Weiguo!"

"Jiang Weiguo?" Ju Boqiang and Wang Wenying looked at Jiang Weiguo together, there was no surprise in their eyes, but strangeness in their eyes, "Why did you come to Germany?" They didn't seem to feel inferior because Jiang Weiguo was "Jiang's second son" , They were not surprised by Jiang Weiguo's status, and spoke in a very calm tone, as if Jiang Weiguo was their acquaintance, or Jiang Weiguo's status was just as high as theirs.

"This..." Jiang Weiguo was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Baili next to him knew that Jiang Weiguo "suffered from amnesia", and he probably forgot these two "acquaintances", so he introduced him with a smile: "Jianhao, have you forgotten? Ju Boqiang is the dean of Ju Son! Wang Wenying is the son of Dean Wang!"

Jiang Weiguo's heart moved, of course he didn't suddenly realize it, but during the three days in Qilu, he had already made up the list of high-level officials of the Nationalist Government, and almost "knowed" many high-level figures.

This Ju Boqiang is the son of Ju Zheng, the president of the Judicial Yuan of the Nationalist Government and the president of the Supreme Court, a veteran of the Kuomintang, and a hero of the [-] Revolution (Ju Zheng has two sons, the eldest son Ju Boqiang, and the second son Ju Haoran).

Historically, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the national government elected the first president of the Republic of China. There were two candidates, one was Jiang Weiguo’s father, Chiang Kai-shek, and the other was Ju Boqiang’s father, Juzheng. The so-called voting campaign is just a procedure. Just like the later Jin Sanpang pretending to choose himself, Juzheng participated in the election to serve as a foil for Chiang Kai-shek, but this also shows Juzheng's important position in the Nationalist Government and the Kuomintang. After all, this foil is not something ordinary people can do. Prestige, qualifications, status, etc. must "threate Chiang Kai-shek a little bit"; as for the Wang Wenying next to him, he is the son of the famous Wang Jingwei (Wang Jingwei has two sons and three daughters, Wang Wenying is the eldest son).

"Damn it! Don't tell me these two guys are not surprised when they know my identity, because their status is no lower than mine! They are both the first-class second-generation officials in the country!" Jiang Weiguo thought to himself, and then smiled Talking and laughing happily with Ju Boqiang and Wang Wenying.

Jiang Weiguo's father, Chiang Kai-shek, is undoubtedly the supreme leader of China at this time, but Chiang Kai-shek is "the supreme leader of China in real power", not in name.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek had four official public positions: "Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government" (vice-chairman is Feng Yuxiang), "Commander-in-Chief of the National Revolutionary Army" (Vice-Chairman is Zhang Xueliang.

In addition, the national army now only has a commander-in-chief, and there is no commander-in-chief of the army, commander-in-chief of the navy, or commander-in-chief of the air force), "Chairman of the Kuomintang", or "President of the Executive Yuan".

Chiang Kai-shek did not hold the highest position, but as long as the military power is in his hands, he is the supreme leader of China, so he will never let go of the two most critical positions of "chairman" and "commander-in-chief"; The government chairman Lin Sen, the position of "Chairman of the National Government" is the highest position in the country, so Lin Sen is the real supreme leader of China.
