Part One Russo-Japanese War Chapter 334 The Terrible Germany

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Emperor Song Biao visited Iran for four days and met with many people, but did not solve any problems in any substantial way. Fortunately, the situation in Iran as a whole was not bad, at least not to the extent that conflicts intensified. The empire provided long-term credit and capital.  Export has made Iran's economy develop very quickly, and Iran has also absorbed the empire's special model on a large scale in its national economic policies. Its national infrastructure and economic development are relatively stable, and its military strength is also in a leading position in the Middle East.

    Iran¡¯s internal problems are complex, but they are not necessarily all bad things for the empire. At least the empire is not worried that Iran will have the opportunity to challenge the empire¡¯s authority and leadership within the Asian Alliance in the future.

    After finishing his trip to Iran, Emperor Song Biao took a plane to visit Poland and met with his old friend, President Artur Martos.

    At this time, Poland had abolished the original dual-head of state system and adopted a single-head of state system similar to the United States. The presidential power was very powerful. Under the influence of Nazism, President Artur was actually the real leader of Poland.  He controlled the Polish army and everything.

    Song Biao visited Poland for two days and did not discuss any substantive topics with President Artur. He just met an old friend and did not give President Artur any advice because he did not know what to do.  Speaking of.

    People¡¯s emotions are complicated, and their reason is actually also very complicated.

    After visiting Poland, Emperor Song Biao continued to visit Germany to meet with Nazi Germany's Head of State Adolf Hitler. During this period, Germany had made all preparations to attack France. If Emperor Song Biao had not suddenly visited Europe, Hitler's Head of State would have done so a week ago.  A formal military order will be signed.

    Emperor Song Biao also knew very well that he could only buy some time for France, because it was absolutely impossible to stop what Nazi Germany wanted to do.

    Before this visit, the assets of the four major Imperial Central Trust Companies in Germany had been clearly sold. Most of the buyers were the German government and the American consortium. Although the price was not high, it was worthy of the four major Imperial Trust companies in the past twenty years.  of contribution.

    The empire's private enterprises and private investment in Germany were relatively small, far less than the scale of investment in France and Sweden. For this decade, the empire's main support center in Europe was Spain, the main investor was Sweden, and China and France also  We are still a strategic partner with a large scale of mutual investment.

    What China and France are currently signing is the "China-France Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Treaty." Pay attention to the word "treaty" used here. This shows that the agreement has strict restrictions on both parties. For example, if France is invaded by Germany, China  It is necessary to unconditionally interrupt the sale of strategic and military materials to Germany and prohibit the transfer of technology to Germany. At the same time, it is responsible for providing France with all intelligence support.

    In the entire world, only France and Brazil have signed agreements of this level with China. This means that France and Brazil are two quasi-allies of China. Both parties are mutually beneficial. France uses its special relationship with China to maintain its presence in the country.  China enjoys a privileged position in Europe and the world, and China also relies on its special relationship with France to ensure its economic and trade interests in France and French colonies, and at the same time exerts influence on Europe through cooperation with France.

    China and Brazil are in exactly the same situation. Brazil uses China's support to balance the influence of the United States in South America, while China also maintains its own interests and voice in the Americas through cooperation with Brazil.

    In addition to France, China also has Spain, Sweden, Germany, Poland, and Greece in Europe, so it must be a very embarrassing situation now.

    Therefore, Emperor Song Biao's visit to Europe also carries the hopes of many Europeans, hoping that he can mediate the increasingly tense conflict between Germany and France. He obviously cannot do this, but he can at least make Germany wait for the time being.  Give Germany some time, and give France a little more time.

    During his visit to Europe, Germany and France were willing to refrain from starting a war for the time being, especially Germany, which always had to be wary.

    For the Chinese Empire, it is very critical to be able to take advantage of the hard-won delay period during His Majesty's visit to Europe to quickly resolve the problems between China, Britain and Japan.

    After visiting France, Emperor Song Biao arrived in the UK, and the Imperial Central United Air Fleet also arrived at Portsmouth Harbor at the same time, opening exhibitions to the British public and holding a joint military air show with the British Naval Air Force.

    After a three-day visit to the UK, Emperor Song Biao went to Sweden again and signed the "Sino-Swedish Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Treaty" and the "Sino-Swedish Free Trade Agreement" with the Swedish government.

    This matter is very important because China¡¯s current investment scale in Sweden is very high. Chinese capital accounts for more than 1/3 of the Swedish national economy. Almost all Swedish banks and important enterprises have Chinese capital.  .This means that China must sign a more stringent mutual protection agreement with Sweden to prevent Nazi Germany from attacking Sweden. If Nazi Germany really attacked Sweden, it would completely anger China.

    After this, Emperor Song Biao continued to visit Spain southward.

    Human aging is an inevitable process. The half-month-long continuous visit made Emperor Song Biao feel the decay of his body more deeply. This is an irresistible force. Every year, he will feel closer to death.  of fear.

    He has learned how to communicate with death.

    He acknowledged his aging, his vicissitudes, and his increasingly conservative mentality, and asked everyone to understand this.

    During his visit to Europe, the governments and heads of state of each visited country must realize this. The Asian emperor who once swept Asia and established immortal achievements is already a gentle and slightly old-fashioned old gentleman.

    Many times, he still hates false politeness and cumbersome and useless itinerary arrangements as stubbornly as before, but more often than not, he will reduce unnecessary arrangements.

    Whether it is Hitler or the French President Paul Reynold, they all prefer to deal with the old emperor who is no longer aggressive.

    Especially for President Paul Reno, no matter how old the Asian emperor is, he is always his first savior. Even ordinary people in France firmly believe that as long as China continues to maintain the special relationship between China and France, the Germans will not  It will challenge France's position in Europe, let alone launch a war with Franceunless the Germans are crazy.

    The fact is that the Germans are indeed crazy. This was the first consensus reached between Emperor Song Biao and President Paul Reno during his visit to France.

    The newly-appointed French president gave Emperor Song Biao some hope. Although he was also the leader of a left-wing party, Paul Reno was closer to the empire and Emperor Song Biao on many issues than his predecessor, President Lelumbe.  There is a common language.

    When the time entered mid-August of this year, Emperor Song Biao came to hot Spain. It must be a bad choice to visit Spain at this time, because this is the hottest period in Spain every year. The only good news is that the empire's refrigerators and  Air conditioners also ushered in the best sales season.

    The current home appliance industry is like chip manufacturing in the 21st century. It is simply the pinnacle of human technology industry. There are only a handful of countries that can produce these products. The European industry, which is busy with wars and preparations for wars, is unable to get involved and has no energy to catch up.  In this field, only China and the United States have carried out unprecedented development and constantly innovated.

    In the field of TV manufacturing, the British took a shortcut of mechanical scanning, which was established early and declined early. The Empire and the United States used electronic scanning. In terms of implementation, electronic scanning TVs in China and the United States all originated from their respective military radar display technologies.  .

    Air conditioning was invented in the United States, while refrigerators were invented in China.

    This is a brand new era, but in the international market, China's home appliance industry is expanding significantly faster. Spain and France are the European markets where the imperial home appliance industry has the most obvious expansion.

    After arriving in Madrid, the capital of Spain, Emperor Song Biao first met with President Franco. Facing the Spanish ruler who claimed to be his disciple, Emperor Song Biao seemed calmer and kinder than before.

    Europeans who didn't know that he had just whipped Prime Minister Mossadegh in Iran generally thought that the Asian emperor who shocked the world had become an approachable and kind old emperor because of his age, just like the Pope.  He has a high status, but always has good intentions.

    In order to welcome His Majesty the Emperor's visit in the midsummer season, Head of State Franco made great preparations and arranged His Majesty the Emperor's palace in the El Escorial Royal Monastery Palace on the outskirts of Madrid. It is quiet and elegant, and gathers a large number of people.  It has a long history over the past four hundred years and incorporates the masterpieces of art masters from all ages.

    After arriving in Spain, Emperor Song Biao lived here and met with President Franco, who came to visit him, to exchange views on political issues in Europe and the international world.

    Song Biao did not like the communist rule, but he was still very interested in the special political system established by President Franco in Spain, and he also admired President Franco himself.

    Francisco Franco is actually a very good and strong figure, which is why he can still leave a good reputation in Spain and Europe after more than thirty years of political rule.

    To a certain extent, he had to choose independence to maintain Spain's chaos during this period, but he did lack sufficient methods to build Spain's economy and rebuild Spain's glory, and the empire just made up for his shortcomings in this field.

    ?Among the European partner countries, SpainSpain is the only country that has arranged a Chinese advisory team. Not only does it have a large number of military advisors working in Spain, but it also has a larger number of economic and political advisors, including state advisors from the Chinese Empire that can only be seen in ASEAN countries.

    This is not because the Spanish government lacks the ability to govern itself, but that Spain does need more support and assistance. The Imperial Central Policy Bureau has long maintained the Southern European Institute of Political Science and Law in Madrid to provide the Spanish government with various think tank consultations and governing opinions.

    At the suggestion of the Southern European Institute of Political Science and Law, President Franco reorganized the Falange Party into the Spanish National Democratic Party, which was based on populist restorationist ideas and had the characteristics of Nazi fascism. It also absorbed a lot of Soviet and social democratic ideas.  The social structural framework makes the Spanish National Democratic Party a cellular party organization, similar to a Soviet party, but at the same time promotes and encourages the capital economy.

    Spain does not warmly welcome foreign investment. Except for China, Chinese capital investment is also dominated by consortiums and four major trust companies. Through the integration of multiple banks, CITIC Corporation and the Far East Consortium established a new Spanish International Corporation in Spain.  Bank, as the center of Spain's financial industry.

    The Franco government absorbed the empire's five-year plan governance method, promoted a planned national economy through the Executive Yuan, and ensured the country's infrastructure through large-scale borrowing from the empire's central government and consortiums, as well as technological and industrial cooperation with the empire.  and rapid advancement of basic industries.

    It is for this series of reasons that Emperor Song Biao did not reject the political system implemented by President Franco in Spain. The system he established was very special and very effective in maintaining the stability of Spain.  This has enabled Spain's first plan in the past five years to be effectively implemented.

    Franco also adopted extremism for a period of time, and his internal suppression methods were too bloody and cruel. However, under the persuasion of Emperor Song Biao and the state advisor in Spain, he still made more improvements in the past two years.  And it absorbed more policies from the imperial model, which was different from Europe and the United States, and also different from the Soviet and German methods to maintain his rule.

    If you see him as a rebel, it is a bit difficult to evaluate, but if you see him as a quasi-emperor, a regent, you will understand that everything he did is like this.

    Yes.

    That's it.

    Emperor Song Biao was very good at understanding his mind.

    President Franco has always claimed to be a disciple and follower of Emperor Hua. Of course, this somewhat tarnished the political innocence of Emperor Song, because Emperor Song was not a revolutionary, but he not only said that, but he also learned very well.  .

    During these two days, President Francisco Franco also lived in the auxiliary hall of the El Escorial Royal Monastery Palace. Like a normal and traditional junior, he met and talked with the Song Emperor every day.  , and constantly ask various questions humbly.

    They are indeed walking in the garden just like the elders and younger generations, and have in-depth discussions on various issues.

    For this relatively qualified junior who came to his door, Emperor Song¡¯s biggest advice to him was to find a suitable balance between severity and kindness, so as to give the people a real sense of security.

    As for what Franco did in Catalonia, he didn¡¯t have many opinions. After all, it was only a small part of Spain.

    ¡­¡­

    Evening is coming.

    The scorching sun in Madrid is still scorching the earth, but the El Escorial Royal Monastery Palace seems quite peaceful and secluded. Emperor Song Biao and the upright and middle-aged President Franco are in the Islamic garden-style covered bridge.  Take a walk in the garden.

    They just discussed the issue between Germany and France again. President Franco is still very eager to know an accurate answer, that is, what will China do if Germany attacks France?

    Emperor Song Biao never gave a real answer. He just sighed every time, showing the complexity and caution of this issue.

    The guards followed his habit and prepared a tea seat and herbal tea in a cool place near the fountain in the corridor, and he also invited President Francisco Franco to sit down here and taste Chinese herbal tea.

    This is not the first time Franco has tasted herbal tea, but unlike the warm herbal tea Song Biao drank, what he drank was the iced herbal tea usually used in summer, which is indeed more thirst-quenching and refreshing.

    Even though it was not the first time, President Franco still looked surprised and exclaimed with Emperor Song Biao: "This is really a very good tea. In a hot country like Spain, everyone should be able to drink it."

    Song Biao nodded and said: "There are bottled herbal teas in China, which are sweeter. My recipe is used internally by the royal family. It is relatively milder and suitable for long-term drinking. Herbal tea is not a simple tea soup, butA commonly used prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, drinking it in summer can relieve heat and quench thirst and avoid heatstroke.  "

    President Franco praised: "That's really good. I can't wait for every Spaniard to share it."

    Emperor Song Biao just smiled slightly and said nothing.

    President Franco is indeed very similar to what he was twenty years ago, except that he knows how to maintain his reputation for a long time.

    After thinking for a moment, he decided to return to the previous topic and answered with President Franco: "As for the issue of Germany and France, I can actually tell you accurately now that if Spain is invaded by a foreign enemy, China will not  Stand aside, because we are a very strict empire that requires compliance with promises. We will definitely do what we promise. Even if we cannot do it, we will at least make every effort as promised. You are a smart person, I think you are generally  I already understand the answer you want."

    President Franco suddenly understood, but he still asked: "It's just that we are so far apart from the Eurasian continent. I'm afraid it's a question whether your country can really effectively fight Germany in Europe?"

    Emperor Song Biao simply replied: "As for the question of Germany, I don't think the empire will go to war with Germany, but I think the foundation of war is population and resources. The key factors that determine the final direction of a long-term war are resources and population. This  It means that Germany's strategic weakness is not Europe, but its rear. I think you have enough military literacy to estimate this matter."

    President Franco understood what Emperor Song meant and nodded to acknowledge the matter.

    Song Biao¡¯s answer has always been vague. Rather than giving a clear and stern warning to Germany, it is better to say that he just asked Germany to give France some time, and Germany was indeed forced to give France some time to prepare.

    Through loan support, the Empire helped France, which has been financially tight in the past ten years, complete the entire Maginot Line of Defense, allowing France to use the entire fortress-style defense line to protect France's eastern front. In terms of military equipment, the Empire also provided France with  Equivalent to Germany's military technical assistance.

    Out of appreciation for Marcel Dassault's talent, the Northeast Heavy Industry Consortium invested in and jointly established a French Dassault aircraft company with Dassault. Renault, the holding company of Northeast Heavy Industry, and Citro?n, controlled by the Jiangnan Consortium, both have aircraft production companies.  ability.

    Through corporate operations, France has the aviation industry and fighter jets in Europe second only to Britain and Germany. After taking office, President Paul Reno quickly corrected the absurd mistakes made by his predecessor, President Lelumbe, and did everything he could to help companies  Ordered fighter planes, and during President Lerumbe's ten-year term, except for the Maginot Line and the partial mechanization reform of the army, the entire French military force has been lethargic and lacking in progress, and there has been no progress.  The improvement of modern military equipment in the true sense is still at the level of the 1930s.

    The gap cannot be reversed within a month, but the military advisory group assigned by the empire to France has the full trust of the French army and President Paul Reno, and France is speeding up the process of military affairs at all costs in accordance with the recommendations of the Chinese military advisory group.  Build a superior air force to compete for air supremacy, and order large quantities of modern military equipment from the Empire to make up for the mistakes it made over the past decade.

    During his visit to France, Emperor Song Biao suggested that France should have the perseverance to persevere even if it abandons Paris and most of France, and seize the time to build new fortifications in the south to prevent the rapid advancement of mechanization by the German army.  Sufficient forces must also be strengthened on the Nordic defense line, especially the deployment of air force, artillery and rocket launchers, to prevent the German blitzkrieg as much as possible.

    France is really suitable for the decisive battle of armored forces, and the few hilly areas do not have any natural blocking effect at all.

    Compared with the vastness and depth of the Empire and the Soviet Union, France is a country that can be penetrated by large mechanical forces in a week. For the Empire, it is almost impossible to expect France to resist for a year and a half. The long Maginot  The defense line seems impenetrable, but if it is broken even a little, it can basically mean the fall of the entire country.

    Emperor Song Biao did not even expect the French people to engage in a decent guerrilla war.

    As for Spain, remaining neutral is the best choice. The problem is that in the face of Spain, which is extremely biased towards China, it is basically impossible for Germany to keep it neutral. This is really a lingering trouble.

    After the German army occupied Norway and Denmark in a blitzkrieg, anti-fascist vigilance around the world had increased to an unprecedented intensity. During the German army's attack on Norway, France and the United Kingdom both sent small-scale troops to participate in the war in an attempt to stop Germany.  Occupy Norway.

    The complicated world political situation prevented Britain and France from declaring war on Germany, but it was already difficult to avoid declaring war on each other.

    At this moment, in tranquilityIn the remote El Escorial royal monastery palace, Emperor Song Biao was actually in a very solemn mood. It was undeniable that he and the empire still had a certain degree of restraint on Hitler. Nazi Germany had not yet broken up with Britain and France.  The broken face was largely due to his sudden visit, which made Germany afraid to act rashly for the time being.

    At least during the period when Emperor Song Biao was still visiting Europe, Germany was not willing to take the risk of directly causing China to join the war by attacking France. On the premise that it was not yet ready to challenge the Chinese Empire, Hitler was not willing to take excessive risks.  To anger China and His Majesty the Emperor, in the eyes of Nazi Germany and Hitler's head of state, if France could be wiped out in a flash, even though China would be very angry, it would eventually maintain a peaceful posture with Germany unless they really angered His Majesty the Emperor.

    In fact, this may indeed be the case.

    Even for the British Empire, which was once arrogant and is still very arrogant now, a Germany with a resource base in Eastern Europe is too scary. Except for China and the United States, no other country in the world can defeat such a Germany, but it is obvious that China  The United States will not be involved in this kind of thing. After all, it is in Europe, far away from China and the United States.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
