The Rise of the Third Reich

When little Rudolf hung on the parachute and fell onto the smoky battlefield, his father, Marshal Hersman, and his wife Chloe, who had a bulging belly and an outrageously plump bust, were having sex on their own. Feasting in the manor. He still doesn't know that his son has crashed. In this era, there are no mobile phones or the Internet, and the transmission of news is very slow.

The visitors were Lieutenant General Hiroshi Oshima, who had been re-elected as Japan's ambassador to Germany, his wife and Minister Hess.

After returning to Japan, Oshima Hiro, a Japanese German fan, first served as the director of the Ministry of War. In January 1940, Abe Cabinet resigned and replaced him with the pro-British and American Navy Admiral Mitsumasa Yoneuchi as Prime Minister. Naturally, he was unlucky as a Japanese German fan. He lost his position as director and was dismissed. Sent to Chiba Prefecture as the principal of the Army Combat Vehicle School. However, on April 20, his luck suddenly changed again, and he was unexpectedly appointed as ambassador to Germany. He arrived in Berlin this afternoon.

However, his arrival was unlucky. Hitler, Schleicher and Ribbentrop were not in Berlin. Instead, they went to Rome to negotiate with Mussolini about the German-Italian alliance. So the person responsible for receiving him was Minister Hess, and he didn't know what the Japanese devil said to Hess. In the evening, Hess personally called Hessman, hoping that the latter could receive the Japanese ambassador and his wife at Zossen's manor. ——He also told Hessman that this was very important to win over Japan, because the Japanese ambassador was an admirer of Marshal Hessman...

"Ambassador Oshima," Hersman asked bluntly about Japan's "national policy" at the dinner table, "Why haven't you marched to French Annan yet? What are you waiting for? Don't you want to liberate it?"

"Your Excellency Marshal, our empire is still a neutral country at present." Oshima Hiro smiled apologetically, "and..."

"And your Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi also said: The Japanese navy was not established to fight the United States. It can be used to deal with the German navy!" Hersman cut the sausage with a knife and fork as he spoke, with a nonchalant look on his face.

Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's remarks were in response to the army's proposal to the cabinet to establish a German-Japanese alliance - which seemed to mean breaking with Britain, the United States and France and choosing to go south as the direction of Japanese empire expansion. However, the Japanese army leaders were still unwilling to give up the westward advance. They still wanted to contain the Soviet Union through the German-Japanese alliance and create conditions for the westward advance.

After the European Western Front battlefield started in full swing on April 10, Britain and the United States stepped up their efforts to win over Japan, and even hinted that they could support Japan's free movement on the East Asian continent. In this context, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi publicly expressed his intention to use the navy to deal with Germany.

However, the development of the matter was beyond the expectations of the Japanese. The Germans continued to play Superman. The French Army, which was originally the object of worship of the Japanese Army, was completely defeated by the Germans within a week, and was defeated by the Germans. Three hundred thousand Belgian troops and more than two hundred thousand British Expeditionary Forces.

At this time, the Japanese Army began to get angry again, accusing Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, who was born in the navy, as a lackey of British and American imperialism, and wanted to push the Japanese Empire into a sea of ​​fire. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, who was talking nonsense, was also dumbfounded. He quickly sent Oshima Hiroshi to Germany to serve as ambassador again, and at the same time explained Japan's true position to Germany.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, Prime Minister Yone does not want to be an enemy of Germany. He is just under pressure from Britain and the United States..." Hiro Oshima said something that sounded very unconvincing.

Hessmann and Rudolf Hess looked at each other. Hessman said coldly: "Japan and Germany are far away from each other, and there is no possibility of war. Britain and the United States just want you to move westward to reduce their pressure in the Western Pacific. pressure on.

For us in Germany, as long as our friendship with the socialist comrades and brothers in the Soviet Union can be maintained, there is no possibility of being defeated by Britain and the United States. Therefore, if you want to implement the westward route, then we will certainly provide all necessary technical assistance to the Soviet Union. This has been our country's consistent national policy for more than 20 years. "

The conflict between the Soviet Union and Germany was actually very great, but in public, the two countries always appeared very close. Especially after Germany made a decisive breakthrough on the Western Front, the Soviet Union's "Pravda" and Tass News Agency even touted "the great victory of socialist Germany" every day, clearly defining Germany's victory as the decisive victory of socialism over capitalism! It seems that the two socialist countries of the Soviet Union and Germany will soon join hands to liberate all mankind.

Moreover, even if Germany established its hegemony on the European continent after defeating France, under such circumstances, the possibility of the Soviet Union challenging the powerful Germany was almost zero. The Soviet Union's road to the west was blocked, so it seemed inevitable to turn its main attention to the east.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese Army naturally had many concerns about advancing westward and northward. It seems much easier to go south and seize the British and French colonies, especially the French colonies in Indochina.

"If Japan is going to implement the southward policy," Hessmann put a piece of grilled sausage into his mouth with a fork, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, "then it's best to implement it quickly, because the basis of the war between the German Empire and the French Republic is The purpose is to build a strong, united and prosperous European Community. Once France is willing to fight together with Germany, French Indochina will be a territory of the European Community!”

Is this still possible? Oshima Hiro was stunned again and again. Hersman continued: "The Battle of France will definitely end before the end of May. If you want French Indochina, you'd better start now!"

"But, but...but the lifeline of my empire is currently under threat." Oshima Hiro looked embarrassed.

Hessmann shrugged: "We don't have much time. You should make a decision as soon as possible." As he said that, he glanced at Rudolf Hess. Hess immediately took over the topic and said: "Our country can play some role in diplomacy and help you sign a non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union."

…

"Leader, Rome is Rome, the European Community is the European Community," said German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, who also did not know that his son was sent to a field hospital by a French bullet. At this moment, he was talking to Italy in the Venetian Palace in Rome. People talk loudly.

“The European Community is in the north,” Ribbentrop said, “including the German Empire, the French Republic, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Romania, the Kingdom of Bulgaria, Slovakia, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Nordic countries and parts of Yugoslavia. The Roman Empire was in the south, and most of the Mediterranean coast should be the territory of the Roman Empire! "

While listening to Ribbentrop's words, Mussolini looked at the triumphant Hitler and Schleicher next to him, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

France was still so arrogant on April 10 and was recognized as the world's number one army power (even if Germany defeated Poland, most people still believed that France's army was stronger than Germany), while the Italian army's recognized ranking was still After the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom. However, such an army power that Italy needs to look up to was completely defeated by Germany in just a few days (by April 18th and 19th, it was basically certain that France would be completely defeated). By the way, Germany is not fighting France one-on-one, but one against three. There are also Britain and Belgium on France's side!

"A new world hegemon was born just like this!" Mussolini thought with some frustration. "France (counting from the Kingdom of West Francia), which had been famous in Europe for almost 1,000 years, collapsed like this, and was destroyed by the German monster. It was defeated in a short period of time. Who else in the world can fight a land war with Germany?"

The Soviet Union may be able to do it, but looking at the Red Army's performance in Poland and Finland, it seems unreliable. Moreover, the Soviet Union is still Germany's traditional ally...

The United States may also be Germany's opponent, but if the United States fought Germany alone during the last world war, who would believe that the United States could win on the European continent?

As for the powerful Kingdom of Italy…

Mussolini sighed deeply in his heart. How dare Italy stand on the opposite side of Germany? If Germany defeats France and then deploys troops to attack Italy, it will be the end of itself as a leader.

Although he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, Mussolini's face was full of smiles. When Ribbentrop introduced the situation, he nodded frequently in agreement - how could he dare to say no? Italy may still be able to bargain with Germany before France is defeated. But now, Italy can only accept Germany's arrangement.

"Yes, Mr. Foreign Minister said that very well!" Mussolini replied in fluent German. "I completely agree with your point of view. The Roman Empire will develop along the Mediterranean coast, just like what happened in history."

"But Provence and Corsica belong to France." Hitler interrupted.

"Of course, Corsica and Provence both belong to France!" Mussolini quickly agreed. Although a few days ago he claimed that they belonged to Italy, the situation was completely different now.

"In order to protect the French fleet concentrated in Toulon, we need to deploy fighters and bombers in Rana." German Defense Minister Marshal Schleicher added, "In addition, we also hope that the Italian Navy can participate in the operation against the British as soon as possible. Come on."

Mussolini nodded repeatedly. He actually did not want Germany to get involved in the Mediterranean, but some things were not up to him - Italy was just a peninsula, not an island.

"That's no problem at all," Mussolini said with a smile. "If the British Mediterranean Fleet doesn't leave quickly, the Italian and French navies will attack together to drive them away." He paused and then said: "Also , my African Legion is also ready and will soon occupy, no, liberate Egypt."
