Chapter 276 Lunch

Xu Jun would not discuss any official duties with Zhou Yun, or encourage the newly recruited subordinates with a gentle voice. That was Weirle's responsibility, not a work that an empire's head of state should intervene. Since Boss Zhou has become a member of the system, he must abide by the rules of this system. Xu Jun would never look at him differently. If he made any mistakes in his work, Weirle would never open a corner to him. The vassal of the vassal is not my vassal, and the boundaries between various European classes are so realistic.

Xu Jun ordered a few Suzhou and Hangzhou dishes, which he loved before traveling through time. The chefs of the head of state did not know how to cook them, and he had been greedy for a long time.

It shouldn't be difficult to find a Chinese chef. At that time, there were at least tens of thousands of Chinese expatriates in Germany. Since the first Chinese businessman came to Berlin to attend the expo in the second year of Daoguang, Chinese expatriates have lived in Germany for more than a century, and their descendants have reproduced for at least two generations.

After expelling the Tartars and rebuilding China, a large number of Chinese students went to the ocean to study in Germany with the ideal of making a strong country in science and technology. Many of them studied at the Charlottenburg Higher Technical School in Berlin (Berlin University of Technology), so on Kant Street near the school, many apartments and hotels specializing in receiving Chinese students appeared.

Since then, Berlin Kant Street and its surrounding areas have gradually evolved into a gathering area of ​​Chinese people in Berlin. Before the Nazis came to power, it has almost become Berlin's "Chinatown".

In the early years, the Nazis and China had a close relationship. After the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance in 1937, the Nazi government also tried to mediate between China and Japan to end the Far East War that was of no benefit to Germany. It was only because both sides of the war misjudged the situation, which resulted in the final bankruptcy of Todman's mediation.

This diplomatic failure had a huge impact on Germany's subsequent foreign policy. The pro-Japanese faction Ribbintrov thus gained the dominance of Germany's foreign policy. With the full support of the champagne wine merchants and Fatty Gorge, the future Axis system of Germany, Japan and Italy began to take shape rapidly.

Previously, there were some so-called "alliances" in Europe that were in harmony and had ulterior motives, but they could not find a few of them through the entire world history when they were trapped by allies like Japan and Italy. Whenever they thought of this, Xu Jun had to admire the eyes of the Champagne merchant and Fatty Ge, because even if Germany chose any of them wrong at that time, the outcome of Nazi Germany might have been destined, but it would never be as miserable as in history.

If Germany had not chosen Japan, it would definitely not have started war with the United States so early. Of course, there was no way to talk about the strategy of Europe and Asia. If Germany did not form an alliance with Italy, it would not be said that it would save a large number of troops and resources. In the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942, there would be an additional armored legion in the attack sequence.

Of course, all this is just a setting, and the development of history has a certain inertia. When Hitler was appointed Prime Minister of the Empire, Germany was destined to suffer this disaster. Finally, under the leadership of Xu Jun, Germany is far away from the danger of being killed by his allies. Xu Jun is not ready to repeat Hitler's mistakes, and those bad things will not be related to him anymore.

Speaking of which, Kant Street is actually not far from Hindenburg Street, just next to the William Memorial Church at the east end of the street, and there are several Chinese restaurants around Hindenburg Street.

Since the German army won a great victory in the French Battle, the diaspora of various countries living in Berlin have gradually begun to return to normal. They do not have to fall asleep in fear every day, and they no longer need to worry when walking on the streets.

The Security Bureau is busy cleaning up the "pests" inside, and the municipal government's control over foreigners has also begun to relax accordingly. Of course, it is impossible to return to being as free as three or six years ago, but it is much better than a year ago.

The Nazi thugs who were wearing brown uniforms, iron sticks on their waists, and long leather boots on their feet, and powerful in the streets of Berlin, the most fanatical and dangerous right-wing extreme racists, seemed to have disappeared from the Berlin market overnight. I heard that many of these people were traitors who were mixed into the Nazi party organization, and some even participated in the plot to murder the head of state. Members of the conspiracy gang will undoubtedly be executed, and the remaining people with less crimes will have to serve long sentences in the Dachao concentration camp and receive spiritual baptism brought by labor.

At this time, the German special envoy visited the Far East. Marshal Bernberg signed a series of trade secret agreements with the Chinese government in Chongqing, which had become an open secret in Germany. The German government and opposition responded to this matter in a different way, but most of them tended to be positive, and it was unanimously recognized that this matter was beneficial to Germany.

So now, Chinese people have clearly felt the change in attitudes of German citizens on the streets of Berlin. More and more pedestrians smiled at them, and no one calls them contemptuously "Chinese".

As mentioned earlier, it is not difficult for the head of state to find a Chinese chef in Berlin, and the Chinese will not refuse to serve the German head of state. You should know that this is the imperial chef in China. When you return to China one day, others heard that this person who cooked for the German head of state can increase his value at least ten times. It doesn’t work if he is rich, but you still have to have an identity. Besides, Germany has not formed an alliance with Japan at this time and has no losses in national integrity. Maybe the German head of state will be comfortable and can still call China one or two internationally.

But the problem is that although Xu Jun is capable of calling a Chinese chef, he cannot do this. In the eyes of the German people, the head of state is a symbol of the German nation, and his every move must abide by the German tradition. The living habits of the head of state will directly affect his image in the hearts of the people. The head of state of Germany naturally likes German food. Even if it is named French, the people can accept it calmly.

Of course, Xu Jun could choose not to care about the reactions of the outside world, but considering the responsibilities he shouldered on his shoulders, he had to choose to endure silently. Anyway, he would not die if he couldn't eat the meat for a long time.

Having said that, the chef in the head of state is quite high, and the head of state is smiling every meal. If it weren't for the special physique of the biochemical person, he might one day become a fat man like Gorene.

To be honest, German cuisine is quite rough. It tastes salty because it is located in the cold zone. Germans like internal organs and fats, and love drinking. So when looking at the menu of Germans, it feels like reading a sample of the causes of arteriosclerosis.

However, before World War II, Germans were generally very healthy. In addition to their love of outdoor sports, the source and quantity of food were also an important factor. At that time, Germans did not eat a lot of meat and fat every day like later generations. The most common foods on the folk table were potatoes, kimchi, mixed vegetable soup and black bread.

Especially after the German war-time rationing system began to be implemented, the amount of meat and fat obtained by each German citizen every week was strictly restricted by the Nazi government, roughly 500 grams of meat and 125 grams of butter per person per week. The meat here refers to fresh meat. If it is replaced with various pickled products and **, the portion will be smaller.

Therefore, Germany rarely found fat people during the war. If there were any, then it was probably a government official or a senior military leader, and these people were not restricted by the rationing system.

The Nazi Party's corruption during the war was quite serious, which seriously damaged the morale of the military and civilians in the rear. However, Hitler turned a blind eye to this. He knew very well that if he wanted to fight corruption in Germany, the first person to be shot was Goren's fat pig.

"This meatball looks good, you must try it. Weirle, Daogen, don't just watch it, just move it." The head of state said, and skillfully picked up a braised lion's head from the plate and put it into the gold-edged porcelain bowl in front of him.

"This dish is Longjing shrimp, a famous dish in Hangzhou, China. Speaking of this dish, there is an allusion in it..." Boss Zhou personally distributed the dishes and introduced the details of each dish to the head of state.

"Well, it's hard to get the West Lake Longjing now." The head of state scooped up a spoonful of shrimps.

"It's not easy. Although Hangzhou is now in the hands of the Japanese, I think they want to have tea too." Boss Zhou replied. In fact, he didn't know the source of Longjing tea. These teas were bought from a Chinese tea merchant, but the taste was indeed very authentic Longjing tea.

"These should be Longjing tea from Yunnan. Longjing Company used the tea tree seeds and manufacturing technology they brought from Hangzhou to open several tea factories in Yunnan. Last month, France just imported a batch of this kind of tea, and President Betton gave me some of it." Xu Jun reminded with a smile that Boss Zhou was obviously cheated.

"But the dish was really good, where did the chef invite it?" Seeing the embarrassment on Boss Zhou's face, the head of state changed the topic.

"Thank you for your praise. Speaking of this chef, there is really a long story to tell. France had just announced its surrender at that time..." When the head of state asked about the chef, Zhou Yun quickly introduced it enthusiastically.

PS: Thank you for your support, the author will continue to work hard.
