The Rise of the Third Reich

Arriving in the same car with Hitler at the magnificent Chancellery, in Hitler's particularly tall and spacious luxury office, Hessmann met Minister Hess and Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, who had been waiting for a while. Dr. Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda, and Hermann Göring, President of the Council of the European Communities who was a little too fat.

The four Nazis all looked beaming as if they had just won the jackpot. When they saw Hitler walking in, they all stood up from their chairs and gave the German salute.

"Hi! Hitler!"

This is the etiquette among Nazi party members. Soldiers like Hessmann also perform the German salute (the hand-raising salute is actually one of the traditional European military salutes), but they will not shout: "Hi! Hitler!".

Hitler nodded to several of his party members, raised his hand in return, and then said: "I believe you already know the situation on the front line."

The German Chancellor also seemed very excited. He did not sit down behind his desk, but paced on the soft carpet, waving his arms as he walked and said: "We have obviously won the war! The Bolsheviks have lost their most valuable Mechanized Corps, this is a fatal blow! Thousands of tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed or captured by the warriors of the Wehrmacht. Now we have gained freedom of movement on the Eastern Front battlefield!" He suddenly raised his voice and became extremely excited. , we can always take Leningrad and Moscow if we want."

When he said this, he suddenly looked back at Hessman, "Marshal of the Empire, am I right?"

Hersman shrugged, "If we have endless oil, the Wehrmacht can indeed reach the gates of Moscow in a very short time."

However, Germany does not have endless oil to burn, so whether to attack Moscow still needs to be considered in the long term.

"But the Soviets don't know how much gasoline is left in our oil depots." Adolf Hitler looked at Goebbels, "Doctor, the focus of propaganda should be to completely overthrow the Bolsheviks' brutal rule in Russia, and to make Stalin and his The partisans felt the danger of imminent destruction... What kind of forest was that where the Soviets massacred the Poles?"

"Katyn Forest." Hersman knew that Hitler was going to make a fuss about the Katyn Forest incident.

"Yes, Katyn Forest." Hitler said, "We must fully publicize it and let public opinion across Europe condemn Stalin..."

He thought for a while, suddenly waved his arms vigorously, and said loudly: "I think this should be a **** atrocity, a genocide, the purpose is to eliminate the Polish nation. Such crimes are intolerable in the whole of Europe. !

By the way, the same crime happened in right-bank Ukraine, which is not allowed in Europe! We must now hold Stalin and his followers accountable for their crimes! "

Goebbels also understood what Hitler meant and immediately replied: "Leader, I guarantee you that there will be overwhelming public opinion of condemnation, and the entire Europe will be incited by us to oppose Stalin and the Bolshevik Party."

Hitler nodded, and then looked at Fatty Göring.

Goering immediately understood: "The European Parliament will pass a resolution strongly condemning the Soviet Union's atrocities of massacre of prisoners and civilians, and the League of Nations will also pass corresponding resolutions of condemnation and sanctions. In addition, Red Cross personnel will go to the Katyn Forest and Ukraine investigation.”

Hitler then set his sights on Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, "Cancel the meeting between Reich Marshal and I and Molotov, and don't go to Switzerland. Leave Molotov there!"

In addition, the Empress of Russia can be invited to visit Berlin in the name of His Majesty the Emperor... This time it is an open and formal invitation! "

Although the Russian White Army appeared in the early stages of the Soviet-German War, Empress Olga has now returned to Tsarskoe Selo on the outskirts of Leningrad. However, the German government did not publicly recognize the Russian Imperial Government, nor did it publicly invite the ministers or the Empress of the Russian Empire to visit Berlin... Although the Empress herself came to Berlin and went home, there was no difference, but she had never been treated as an empress. .

"Prime Minister, is this psychological warfare?" Hersman asked with a frown.

"Of course," Hitler smiled and said, "Diplomatic negotiations are psychological warfare... If we want to get Left Bank Ukraine and East Belarus as we wish, we must make Stalin feel that there is a noose around his neck. , and it’s getting tighter and tighter.”

Diplomatic psychological warfare was Hitler's specialty. In addition to making a fuss about the Katyn Forest incident and labeling Stalin a *****, Hitler also had other clever tricks. One is to use the Belarusian forces represented by the Empress of Russia to hype up the "Russian Fusion Theory", giving Stalin the illusion that Germany's "policy of not destroying the Soviet Union" is changing!

Another clever trick in psychological warfare is to win over the United States.

"In addition, we can invite the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland, John F. Kennedy, to Berlin." Hitler looked at Hess, the minister in charge of negotiations with the U.S., "Can this be done?"

Kennedy could only go to Berlin secretly, but the Soviets had many spies in Switzerland, and there were probably internationalist fighters in the U.S. Embassy in Switzerland. Therefore, the fact that the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland went to Berlin to meet Hitler could not be hidden from Stalin. .

"This..." Hess thought for a while and said, "Leader, we must offer some attractive peace conditions."

Hitler turned his attention to Hersmann again, "Reichsmarschall, we must let Stalin know that he may be abandoned by Roosevelt. This will put him and his followers into the greatest panic, and then cede out of fear." Left Bank Ukraine and East Belarus. Do you have any suggestions for this?”

Hessmann thought for a while and felt that Hitler's words made sense. In the original history, the Pearl Harbor incident had not yet occurred when Stalin proposed peace, and the Soviet Union was actually isolated and helpless.

"We withdraw from South America, and the United States withdraws from Australia." Hersman said thoughtfully, "In addition, the United States repealed the Lend-Lease Act, and we did not pass the Lend-Lease Act... Moreover, the peace treaty between us and the United States does not include Soviet Union, Japan.”

In other words, Germany betrayed Japan and the United States betrayed the Soviet Union. Then Germany transformed the Soviet Union into Russia and then incorporated it into the European Community, becoming the hegemon of Eurasia. The United States turned Japan into a gray grandson, and then turned the Pacific into a lake.

"Yes," Hitler smiled and nodded, "That's the plan! I think it will scare Stalin into a cold sweat."

"But..." Hessman asked thoughtfully, "We can't really accept such peace terms with the United States, can we?"

In fact, Herschman also doubted whether Roosevelt would accept such peace conditions. If another president, such as Dewey, was ruling the United States now, there might be a possibility of peace between Germany and Germany.

But Roosevelt would never allow Germany to "integrate" smoothly with Russia. Otherwise, even if the United States defeated Japan, it would not be able to confront Germany, which dominated Eurasia.

"Of course not," Hitler replied very firmly, "We cannot betray our allies... This is immoral and damages the international credibility of the German Empire. So after we invite Kennedy to visit, we should explain and comfort Japan, and at the same time Accommodate some of their requests appropriately.

For example, we can provide more captured tanks to Japan, and we can also ask European shipyards to build aircraft carriers for Japan. If the Japanese want aircraft, we can also provide the latest products, and even sell a few jet aircraft to Japan. In fact, once we make an emergency landing on the Soviet Union, Japan will be invincible, which will only benefit them and not harm them. "

"So about the negotiations with the Soviets..." Hersman then asked, "If Minister Ribbentrop doesn't go to Switzerland, then who will maintain contact?"

"Let Count Schulenburg be the ambassador to Switzerland. He is familiar with the Russians and can contact Molotov. In addition...Ms. Lesinskaya can also continue to stay in Switzerland and deal with the Soviets. "

Hitler thought for a while and then said: "I think we can also involve the Russian Empress' people."

"Empress of Russia?" Hessmann was a little confused by Hitler's suggestion. How could Olga participate in negotiations with the Soviet Union? She is probably the person in the world who is most opposed to Su-Deh's peace talks.

Hitler winked at Hessmann and smiled: "My Reich Marshal, you should know that politics is very dark and dirty. Don't look at the fact that we politicians are all high-sounding on the surface, but in fact there are all kinds of things going on behind the scenes. Exchange of benefits.”

"Of course I know." Hessmann said this, but in his heart he still didn't understand what Hitler was planning.

The German Chancellor smiled sarcastically and said: "We are like this, and those Bolsheviks cannot be saints! As far as I know, during the most difficult period of Leningrad, many senior Bolshevik cadres in the city sent their allegiance to Tsarskoye Selo. Letter! If we are determined to restore the Romanov dynasty in Russia, why can’t Her Majesty send someone to contact Molotov?”

Comrade Molotov is a loyal communist fighter, and of course he will not surrender to the Russian Empress, even if Olga makes him a duke and chief minister. And this loyal communist fighter will definitely report to Stalin the news that the Russian Empress is trying to win over him.

This will give Stalin a greater illusion that Germany has really changed its position and is preparing to overthrow the Bolshevik Party's rule in the Soviet Union. Moreover, Stalin, who had a suspicious personality, would also have doubts about his subordinates... The Russian Empress liked to recruit traitors. Now that she has come into contact with Molotov, is it possible that others have also been secretly recruited? Woolen cloth? In the past ten years when the Soviet Union's national power was rising, so many "reactionaries" were identified. Now that it is facing a catastrophe, all of them are staunch communist fighters. Is this possible?
