Chapter 613 Foreign Affairs
Chapter 613 Foreign Affairs
The situation in Germany is in jeopardy, because of pessimism about the war, and domestic political power contradictions have finally surfaced.
However, in the East, a revived nation is like the rising sun, full of vitality, as if everything is full of hope and joy.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the lounge, Chen Jiongming lifted up the curtains and looked across the street. There was a group of reporters surrounding a general, obviously asking questions to the general.
The general was Gu Yu, the chief of staff of the Air Force. When facing reporters from various countries asked questions like a firecracker, he acted very calmly, just like a professional spokesperson who had been trained for many years in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"I didn't expect that Chief of Staff Gu was calm and relaxed, but I didn't know what questions the reporters were asking him?"
Chen Jiongming put down the curtains in his hand and muttered a few words to the Foreign Minister Gu Weijun standing beside him.
Gu Weijun smiled and said, "I guess that journalists from all over the world are still concerned about the range of our "Strike and Yi" ballistic missiles. In the past few days, every reporter who encounters me is concerned about this issue, and I can only say nothing about it. But obviously, one of the basic qualities of journalists from all over the world is the same, that is, they will never give up until they achieve their goals. I think Chief of Staff Gu is now afraid that he is also going around the reporters."
The meaning revealed by the word "Shengyi" is naturally quite obvious, but no one dares to feel uncomfortable at this time due to the power of China's nuclear weapons power.
Chen Jiongming also smiled, walked back to the sofa, picked up the cup of already warm tea from the coffee table, tasted it in a small mouthful, and then sat down on the sofa with the tea cup.
Gu Weijun also walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite. He searched in the newspapers on the coffee table, picked out one, handed it to Chen Jiongming, and said: "Look at the reports above, American reporters speculated that the longest range of the 'Zhenyi' missile may be 5,000 kilometers, or even 10,000 kilometers. This is somewhat alarmist. I am afraid that the US government is deliberately creating momentum to force Congress to allocate funds and accelerate the research on strategic missiles in the United States. The US government is very fast, but unfortunately, in recent years, Americans have been trembling in the shadow of nuclear missiles for several years."
Chen Jiongming took the newspaper and saw that it was an English newspaper. His English level was not very good, so he was too lazy to study the contents of the news reports carefully. He put the newspaper down and said: "No matter how fast the US political action is, it cannot change the current facts. After the emergence of strategic intercontinental nuclear missiles, there will be no real winners in a large-scale global war. Comprehensive war will inevitably lead to a comprehensive nuclear war, and comprehensive nuclear war will inevitably lead to the decline of human civilization."
Speaking of this, his face couldn't help but feel a little low, "Some people say that my view is too pessimistic, but I dare not take this risk, and the US government also dare not take this kind of risk of a comprehensive nuclear war. The world strategy has been completely changed by the emergence of strategic nuclear missiles. In the future, more other methods will be adopted in the competition between countries, and direct comprehensive war between the two countries may not be the first choice."
"What does the Head of State mean?"
Gu Weijun was a little curious and wanted to ask the bottom of the matter, but before Chen Jiongming answered, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him. He looked back and walked in. The person in charge was Fang Shiyi, the special envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Middle East. The people following him were his assistants, and they were all top diplomatic talents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and representatives of the young and strong faction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Everyone followed Fang Shiyi to practice in the Middle East. After all, the diplomatic situation here is quite complicated.
"How is it? The meeting is over?"
When Fang Shiyi walked up to him, Chen Jiongming stood up to inquire. Just now, Fang Shiyi was ordered to hold his first formal meeting with the peace talks sent by Nazi Germany and fascist Italian political team, but the meeting lasted less than an hour, and Fang Shiyi hurriedly returned.
"Germany believes that our diplomatic level is not high, so it is recommended that we continue to hold a high-level meeting tomorrow. They hope that the Head of State can attend the talks in person." Fang Shiyi said expressionlessly.
"The Germans think about the United States, and the US president is too lazy to negotiate with them. They still make such inappropriate demands. So, let's not talk."
Gu Weijun was simply waving his hand, and his arrogant attitude made others smile. Indeed, since the report on "nuclear balance" in Tokyo was published, his foreign minister felt that his back was harder, and even the United States gradually ignored it.
Chen Jiongming smiled and said, "You can't say that. Since they have come here, then at least we can talk to see if the German government can spit out the food they have eaten. Wouldn't it be nice to solve the European war without bloodshed? Nuclear missiles are the last weapon. We are not war madmen, nor Truman. We are civilized people representing the civilized world. First politeness and then soldiers are our principle."
Roosevelt had passed away at this time. Although he had barely extended his lifespan by relying on Chinese medicine for more than a year, he died on the bed in late spring in 1946. On his deathbed, he saw that the Manhattan plan was successful and the United States became another nuclear power after China, and Roosevelt was able to rest in peace.
"Then the head of state means that you will attend the meeting tomorrow?" Fang Shiyi asked hurriedly, and he was still waiting to reply to the Germans.
"No. I won't attend the meeting tomorrow, so I'll ask Minister Gu to go there. After all, the German negotiating leader is the deputy head of Germany. Let's dispatch a foreign minister to discuss and compete with him. Speaking of Rudolf Hess, he is also a very interesting person. The last time I met with him, I felt that the German deputy head of state had a rich imagination and dared to think and do it. It's a pity that his view of Hitler was completely wrong."
Chen Jiongming took out his arrangements, and Gu Weijun naturally had to obey the order and nodded immediately. Fang Shiyi hurriedly left and replied to the German peace talks delegation.
"Germany may not accept the key peace initiatives proposed by the allies. I personally have no hope for this Cairo negotiation." Gu Weijun then also made his position clear.
In this world, although China's strong rise has greatly changed the world pattern, especially the situation in Europe, generally speaking, Germany still has no hope of defeating the United States. This is due to strength and not strategy can be changed.
As for the Cairo Conference, China, as a representative of a third-party neutral country, did send people to visit and intend to watch, and can also mediate if necessary.
"The basis for the Nazis to maintain rule in Germany is this fanatical national expansionism and the theory of survival space. Now the United States asks Germany to hand over all the occupied areas. If I were the German ruler, I would not agree easily. However, we must also see that with the failure of military and economic depression, the emotions and thoughts of the Germans are also changing. Those who were fanatical in the past who followed the Nazis can now calm down. In the past, the people who surrendered to the Nazi yin power will only be more dissatisfied with the Nazi rule. As for those who have been resisting the Nazis, they will fight more tenaciously. Therefore, if these anti-Nazi allies can be used well, nuclear war may not be avoided." Chen Jiongming analyzed carefully.
Gu Weijun asked again: "Is the head of state who fully supports the Cairo negotiations. Is it that he wants to avoid the reconstruction of the 'Versailles system' after the end of the last European war?"
Chen Jiongming nodded and said, "This is one of the reasons. The core content of the 'Versailles system' is to greatly weaken Germany and ensure that Britain and France have an absolute strategic advantage in the European continent. However, this strategic situation is not in line with China's interests. A unified Europe is not what we want to see. Similarly, a Europe under the control of a strong group is not what we want to see. For us, the best situation in Europe is not only a division, but also an internal confrontation is necessary. Only in this way can there be no strong ally of the United States in the world, and this ally still has a close relationship with the United States in all aspects of race, culture, belief, economy, etc. What we need to do now is to destroy the basis for the United States to turn Europe into its strategic ally. As long as Germany is not too weakened, Europe cannot speak in a voice."
"However, if it is just like this, it is difficult to guarantee that Germany will not be embraced by the United States in the future. After all, they are all white people and have a sense of innate closeness in race. Moreover, many Americans are Germans." Gu Weijun reminded.
"So, I'm working on two-pronged approach. The Cairo negotiations are just a strategic test on one hand. On the other hand, on this strategic chessboard in Europe, another piece has fallen. Just wait for it to break into the enemy's formation and make a big fuss."
Chen Jiongming and Gu Weijun were sitting in this lounge, discussing strategies. The two of them didn't have to worry about the content of the conversation being leaked. This lounge was equipped with soundproofing panels, and even the window glass was double-layered.
When the two were talking, Fang Shiyi had already rushed back and brought Chen Jiongming a very important news.
"Just just received reliable information, a demonstration broke out in Madrid, the Spanish capital. The demonstrators shouted slogans and demanded that Franco step down immediately, and organized the new policy and withdraw from the war. The Spanish political army suppressed it, and it was heard that the casualties were severe."
"This should be the action initiated by the Trotsky faction. The next thing is not as simple as shouting a few slogans. Perhaps in a few days, street fighting will break out in Madrid."
Chen Jiongming was not surprised at all. With the current situation and the domestic situation in Spain, the Spanish people should have stood up and said "no" to Franco's political affairs.
"If Spanish politics cannot withstand the pressure from the country, then Spain may have been withdrawing from the war in these few days. I just don't know if the German army stationed in France will take action to interfere with the Spanish riots?" Gu Weijun reminded.
"That's best, but in France, the Trotsky elements are also quite active. The German army is the helper of Vichy France to suppress the Trotsky elements. Once the German army is weak, Vichy France will definitely be in panic immediately."
Chen Jiongming was not worried at all that the German army would enter Spain, which would only help him quickly reach another strategic breakthrough, which has various connections with the current peace negotiations between the belligerent countries of Cairo.
"His Excellency, the password telegram I just received."
Just as Chen Jiongming and Gu Weijun and Fang Shiyi were discussing the direction of the situation in Spain, a confidential secretary walked up to Chen Jiongming and handed over a telegram. The telegram had been translated, with only one sentence on it:
"The shotgun is in place."
Chen Jiongming put the telegram on the coffee table, whispered a long sigh, and said to the people present: "Everyone, the situation in Europe is currently in a critical state, and it will affect the whole body. Under such circumstances, any small intervention in the historical trajectory will bring about huge changes, or even decisive changes. Let's wait and see."
Fang Shiyi and Gu Weijun were not sure what Chen Jiongming really meant, but they also believed that as long as the Head of State said this, the situation in Europe would definitely change tremendously, and this confidence came from the president's strategic wise vision, which was definitely not comparable to that of others.
On the other hand, a small-scale military operation is ready.
The air seemed to be about torn apart by the violent whistling sound, and accompanied by the whistling sound, a large transport aircraft was descending to the straight runway, and the landing gear had already descended.
The wheels quickly touched the concrete runway and made a "sniff" friction. The moment they touched the runway, the buffer rod of the landing gear shrank suddenly, which seemed to indicate that the transporter's load capacity was very large and the cargo in the cargo hold was very heavy.
This is a heavy transport aircraft of the Chinese Air Force, and it is a brand new model. The airport aviation commander has never seen a military transport aircraft in this layout before. Although it only has two engines that look like propeller engines, the size of the aircraft looks very large. It is hard to believe that just two engines can ensure that the aircraft takes off.
A few minutes later, when the transport plane was towed by a trailer to the apron, the huge roar of the aircraft engine came from the sky. Another military transport plane of the same model appeared within the field of view of the command tower and soon landed on the airport runway.
Although these two aircraft use propeller power systems, their engines are not old piston internal combustion engines, but a new concept aircraft engine, scientifically called "turboprop engine", referred to as "turboprop".
This engine was developed from a turbojet engine. It has the dual advantages of high thrust of jet engines and fuel-saving internal combustion engines. It is very suitable for use as a transport engine, especially a long-range transport engine, which requires the best balance between fuel consumption and power. Therefore, this "turboprop transporter" appeared, and there is also a kind of engine used in helicopters.
The two transport aircraft that have landed at the Ankara Air Force Base are turboprop transport aircraft, the latest products of China's aviation industry. They have just completed their first mass production plan. Therefore, the aviation commanders at the airport do not recognize this kind of aircraft. Only fighter pilots escorting this kind of transport aircraft know what to call this kind of transport aircraft, which is "Dapeng".
When Dapeng landed on the airport runway, the escort mission of the fighter pilots was over, and they also landed on the airport runway and quickly stopped the plane. The pilots jumped out of the cockpit, and the ground crew were busy using tow trucks to haul these "Thunder" jets to the base for maintenance.
After jumping off the plane, the first thing Li Chengbi did was to go to the apron to watch the fun. To be honest, he drove the "Thunder" along the way to escort the two "Dapeng" from Tehran to Ankara City. He kept thinking in his mind what kind of cargo was in the cargo hold of the "Dapeng" that actually required a squadron of "Thunder" to escort.
Intuition told him that the cargo in the "Dapeng" cargo hold may be a secret weapon, but he still needs to see what it is.
This is a military airport, with no idle people waiting for it, all the soldiers present, and obviously, there are many people who are as curious as Li Chengbi. Those idle pilots and ground crews on duty also rushed to the apron to see what cargo can be unloaded from the transport plane.
But what disappointed everyone was that when the clam-like cargo hold door at the rear of the plane was opened by the ground crew, people saw only a few large wooden boxes, not only nailed with nails, but also seals were pasted outside. Several air military academy officials kept protecting each other, so no one could get close to take a closer look.
There is no sign outside the wooden box, and there is not even a shipping airport.
Like everyone else, Li Chengbi's curiosity quickly turned into disappointment, and there was no way to tell the truth from outside the wooden box, so everyone quickly dispersed. The ground crew continued to work on their own affairs near the airport runway, while the pilots gathered in the club to drink tea and chat, read the newspapers and listen to the news.
Li Chengbi sat in the club and chatted with his comrades and had tea. Their base was still in Tehran. After the fighter plane was maintained, they would fly back in the afternoon. In Ankara, they could only stay for a few hours at most. So everyone discussed whether to use these hours to take a walk in the suburbs of Ankara?
However, they were soon told by the local pilots that it would be better not to walk around because the Germans were still firing V2 missiles at Ankara from time to time.
The day before yesterday, a V2 missile landed in a village only two kilometers away from the city, killing some sheep. In comparison, it is safer to stay in the airport.
Because the airport is in the city, and the German missile aims at the city. The missiles of this era can basically not hit anywhere they aim.
When they were depressed, the pilots in the club suddenly heard the special engine roar from the sky. It was the engine of "Dapeng". Everyone was a little curious. Could it be that "Dapeng" came to the airport again?
