After the end-of-war parade, Lin Youde and his family temporarily stayed at the former German Imperial Palace in Berlin. Not long after they arrived here, a group of commanders from the armored force system headed by Guderian came to their door. "Mr. Lin, why do you want to give up command?" Guderian asked when he came up, while Manstein and Rommel stood silent behind him, obviously intending to leave everything to "Lightning Hein" " "You are not my private army," Lin Youde replied slowly, "so when I plan to remove my armor and return to the field to enjoy a stable ordinary life, of course I have to return your command and personnel rights to the high command." "But you should know that the high command will definitely abolish us." "Of course I know, don't worry, all retired former armored soldiers and former armored Jaeger soldiers and officers will be given priority in hiring by my company. If If you like, you can also go to China to serve as a military instructor for the Xinming government army, or to work as a mercenary in the Persian Gulf. I think you should also be able to perform well in these places. By the way, Scholes and his 14l. The task force¡¯s applications for retirement have all been approved, and Scholes himself has already taken the first step to fly to the Persian Gulf to serve as a front station. Soon we will establish an amalgam security manpower dispatch company in the Persian Gulf. " Guderian looks like. Still couldn't let it go: "You are a hero in the war. You have personally commanded the troops to achieve brilliant victories. You have the right to retain the right to command the German army." "Yes, of course I have this right," Lin Youde put his hands on his body The first ten fingers were crossed to form an "arch bridge" shape, "But I just said that I am tired and plan to take off my armor and return to the field. Even though I am still living in the former German Royal Palace today, this is the last time. From now on This will be turned into a museum and open to the public. Of course, the small palace in Potsdam will still be owned by me, but I will pay the German government the market price to purchase the ownership of Sanssouci Palace and its surrounding land. Let me enjoy the peaceful pastoral life, my dear Heinz." At this time, Manstein and Rommel exchanged glances. It was obvious that the two of them had realized Lin Youde's intention, and Guderian should have had some idea as well. aware. "Mr. Lin, you feel as if you have escaped from the battlefield." Guderian said bluntly. "No, on the contrary, I will continue to do things that I think are important." Lin Youde grinned at Guderian, "I have seriously considered becoming a true dictator, because that way it will be much easier for me to do things. , but in the end I gave up this plan, because in the current situation, there are too many disadvantages to becoming a dictator, so I retreated to the background and achieved the same effect in another form. Dear Heinz, control. There is more to a country than becoming the head of state. Even if I retreat into the background, I will still be a very important person in this country and even in the world, but I will just disappear from the public eye." "Gu. Derian stared at Lin Youde for a few seconds, and then asked: "Then can I ask what you want to do? Help China become the dominant player in the world again?" "No, of course not. In fact, I am already here Many places have said what I will do next, but you all regard it as a joke. In fact, this feeling is quite bad" "Yes, my next goal is to do something. Once again expanding the territory of human activities. In order to achieve this goal, I have to obtain huge wealth, manpower and material resources. Now I can't obtain these through military conquest, so I must switch to a gentler and more concealed method. "Get these." "In this case, you should rule Germany" "And then be overwhelmed by various political struggles and people's livelihood issues? Of course, I also said before that becoming an iron-fisted dictator can take a certain period of time. Suppressing these problems cannot fundamentally solve them." Lin Youde spread his hands: "So, retreat behind the scenes and let the stupid politicians in front of the stage take the blame to alleviate the people's dissatisfaction, and then secretly gather financial and material resources. Derian was silent for a while before sighing: "I understand. " After that, he saluted Lin Youde, turned around and strode out of the room without saying anything else. After Guderian left, Manstein said slowly: "No matter what, your promotion to us We all keep it in mind and just say hello if you need help. " "In fact, I really need you to help me ensure that all future German army purchase orders fall into the hands of my company. Needless to say, weapons, high-precision weapons can basically only be purchased from me, but the amount of daily necessities and other materials purchased by the army is also quite huge, and I hope that my company can get most of them. " "Understood. Manstein paused, "Although I understand, this isIt's not easy to deal with, Mr. Lin. " "It doesn't matter, we will also have public relations actions here, you just need to cooperate. " Lin Youde smiled at Manstein. So Manstein also stood up and said goodbye to Lin Youde. Rommel, who was left behind in the end, smacked his lips and said, "I seem to want to take off my armor and return to the field. I don't know. Do you have any suitable positions for a marshal to provide retirement care? " "Of course, I welcome you to join us at any time. "After seeing off the marshals, Lin Youde just took a drink of water when the fox opened the door and came in. "The ambassador of the new Ming government to Germany will arrive in Berlin tomorrow. " The day after the peace agreement was signed, Viola announced her recognition of the Xinming government, so it was natural to establish diplomatic relations. Although Lin Youde believed that the person who was previously responsible for communication and liaison matters in Germany would be the temporary ambassador, but the new Ming still insists on appointing a formal ambassador. ¡°It came quite quickly. Lin Youde leaned back and said, "By the way, what do the people of the Ming Dynasty think of the peace agreement?" " "As expected, many people think that you have sold your motherland and say that you have forgotten your ancestors. "The fox shrugged, "It seems that you will not be able to return to your country to live in the future. " Lin Youde smiled. "This is really bad," he shook his head gently, "but compared to Lin Guokai, who has already been sealed, I think this is better. " "Lin," the fox turned to Lin Youde, stared into his eyes and asked seriously, "are you really planning to return to China for a visit? " "Of course, but that will have to wait until the Xin Ming Dynasty drives the Ming Empire to the Korean Peninsula, so there is no need to think about it so much now. "
