Chapter 335 Staff Meeting

While the people in Chongqing were happily discussing the street news, the conference room of Yunxiu Building, Huangshan, Chongqing was shrouded in a panic atmosphere. More than a dozen government officials' top think tanks and politicians gathered here to discuss how to solve the upcoming crisis.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek had just realized that he seemed to have caused a huge trouble. He seemed to believe the judgment of the people around him too much. Chiang Kai-shek believed that he had done nothing wrong in this incident. If he said there was something negligent, he would be willing to admit this, but if it was all his responsibility, he would have to be called "Chaotianqu". Judging from the current evidence, all these things were made by a small group of people below, and as a result, the Germans all put the blame on the government. Is there any law of the heavens and the kings?

Then again, these Germans cannot be a little more patient, and they cannot call to inquire if the plane is detained, even if they just run to Yunxiu Tower and point at their nose to protest. As for taking out a broken pot and making a boat, will all burn out a fire?

"President, this is not surprising. If it were any, I would have made the same judgment. After all, we are in the wrong hands. First, they seized their personnel and then took care of their planes, which would certainly make them have bad imaginations. The soldiers trained by Germany were mostly strong, tenacious and unyielding. At the end of the European War, the German Navy's high seas fleet also used a rainbow secret order, and would rather sank its own warships into the harbor than let them fall into the hands of other countries. The idea is actually the same as the air force."

Zhu Jiahua, who was speaking, was already the Minister of the Central Organization and Director of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Central Executive Committee (Central Administration). He did not have to attend today's meeting today, but because he had studied in Germany, he had a large number of German friends, and he also served as the president of the Sino-German Cultural Association, and he was very familiar with the character and thinking of the Germans. Therefore, with the recommendation of Wang Shijie and Chen Bulei, Chiang Kai-shek specially summoned him. This person is indeed a genius faction and immediately inferred the Germans' ideas.

"Brother Liu Xian. It's too late to say this now. The Germans are already so famous that everyone knows. I don't know if you have any good plans to make this matter come to a smooth end." Chen Guofu asked from the side that he had a good relationship with Zhu Jiahua at this time, and he would not have thought that the other party was actually preparing to attack personnel from the Central Commission for Discipline.

"It might be that simple. I think the matter is just the beginning. If it is solved as soon as possible, I'm afraid the trouble will be even greater." Counselor Wang interrupted, rubbing his eyebrows.

"I don't think so." Chen Bulei had been on the phone before, but at this time he put down the phone receiver and strode to the conference table. "We still have a chance to make up for it now." Chen Bulei pulled open the seat and sat at Wang Shijie's hands.

"President, I don't think things are completely out of control."

"Xun En, you said you can remedy it. What does it mean? You must explain it to me carefully." Jiang Zhongzheng was like grabbing a life-saving straw at this time, looking at his courage with anticipation.

"President, the German Air Force brigade was only marching in the city from beginning to end, and did not give any speeches or conversations to the public. I have asked. Now the public opinion in the city just feels that this matter is fresh and interesting. I wonder why there are some Germans here, and there are some who praise the majestic German army. There are many rumors that Germany has formed a alliance to fight against Japanese invaders. The public has not yet known the details of this matter. They only think that this is just a spontaneous military parade of the Germans. Some teachers and students are even preparing to publish articles to protest the Germans showing off their power in the streets of the government's accompanying capital." Chen Bulei reported.

"This matter must be strictly controlled, and these people can no longer cause trouble." Chen Guofu interrupted.

"This matter is left to Liu Xian." Jiang Zhongzheng said.

"Yes, President, I will make arrangements immediately after turning back." Zhu Jiahua nodded quickly and obeyed the order.

"Honey, you can continue talking." Chiang Kai-shek said.

"The German flight team turned from Zhonger Road to Minsheng Road, then went to Zhongzheng Road, and went to Chaotianmen Wharf, without any stop along the way. They did not communicate with other foreign institutions, but went directly to the French gunboat from the dock. Then they went to the French Navy Camp on the south bank."

"It was originally a French place, and it is said that the French Embassy is preparing to move there." A servant from the attendant reminded Chiang Kai-shek on the side.

"Yes." Jiang Zhongzheng nodded.

"President. Judging from the performance of the German flight team, they don't seem to be ready to completely break up with us, it's more like a protest. So I think this should be the personal behavior of these German pilots and does not represent the attitude of the German government." Chen Bule continued.

"What do you think about Xunen?" Chiang Kai-shek asked the staff who were standing or sitting around the conference table.

"I think Director Chen's judgment does make sense. If it is the opinion of the German official, their diplomatic agency should submit official documents to us. In this way, whether it is burning the plane or marching in the city, it should be the personal behavior of those German pilots." Zhu Jiahua nodded first in agreement.

"I have always felt a little confused. If Brother Xunen says this, it makes all the sense."

"It's indeed a sharp attack. Brother Xunen is indeed a great talent."

"In this way, we only need to negotiate with the German official." Several consultants talked about their opinions, and some of them relaxed their expressions, as if the crisis had passed, and the clouds were clearing in the sky and the sun was rising.

"Don't argue for now. Listen to Xunen, what can he do?" Chiang Kai-shek quickly stopped the chaos in the venue.

"Of course we have to negotiate with the German authorities. We have indeed made a mistake in this matter. What we need to consider now is how to make up for these mistakes before the situation worsens." Chen Bulei stood up and said with a serious look on his face.

"Let me talk about the origin of this incident first. Some of us are still looking at the world from the perspective of a month ago, and regard Germany as an ordinary European power, thinking that we can use international relations to restrain it. It is this kind of judgment mistake that has led to the development of things to this point.

Little do we know that Germany is now more than just a mere power. He has become the co-lord of Europe. More than 70% of the territory and countries of Europe are under his control, and are related to this new and rising behemoth. We should have been careful. However, in the government, there are still some people who think that they can use the old methods of dealing with the powers and try to seek benefits from the Germans.

But these people don’t think about it carefully. Looking at the current world, there are probably only two and a half countries that can still contain it. The Soviet Union and the United States are two, and Japan can barely count as half of it with its naval strength. The former signed a friendly treaty with Germany, while the latter has always adhered to a policy of glorious isolation, while that half of the country, Japan, is fighting with us, and has previously signed a treaty against the Communist Party with Germany, and its relationship is also very friendly. Let me ask you, countries like this, can we play with applause?

The German head of state sent a special envoy to our country, intending to resume diplomatic relations with our country and intending to continue the friendly cooperation of the past again. As a world's top power, this is the greatest kindness they can express. We should warmly welcome and do our best to entertain each other. We try our best to win over each other and vigorously promote exchanges between the two countries.

But what did we do? We faked the opponent's record, seized the opponent's pilot, seized the opponent's plane, and wanted to use the opponent's technology to exchange things with the Americans. If this kind of thing is international, there is a complete reason to declare war on us." Chen Bulei said this and clenched his fists tightly, with anger on his face.

"What's the exchange with Americans?" A consultant asked the person next to him in a low voice.

"Shh, don't ask random questions if you shouldn't know." Then he gestured with his index finger under the table.

"Honey, I know we are doing something wrong, so don't mention it here." Chiang Kai-shek was actually ashamed. Although Chen Bulei did not name it directly, he actually talked about himself in every way. It seems that his approach to keeping the other party in the dark in this matter made this gentle number one bold heart angry.

"Now, let's talk about how to remedy it. The German agency has called to ask for a meeting, and I set the time to two o'clock in the afternoon. Now we have only one." Chiang Kai-shek looked up at the clock on the mantel.

"We only have four hours left. We must come up with a response plan before." Chiang Kai-shek said with his forehanded holding the edge of the table.

"President, I think it is urgent to be the most important thing. We must do whatever we can to appease the German pilots at all costs. Of course, there are also the two liaison officers of the mission. Their identities are actually more important than those pilots. Don't forget that Marshal Brenberg of Germany is still waiting in French Annan. If we can get the marshal's understanding and let him help clear the situation in Germany," Chen Bulei said this and looked at Chiang Kai-shek.

"Minister Kong visited Germany before and had some contacts with Brenberg. I think he could come forward to communicate with him in person." Wang Shijie suggested.

"Well, it's indeed a solution. I will talk to Yongzhi." Jiang Zhongzheng's expression calmed down a little.

"President, I have another suggestion: We can organize people from all walks of life in Chongqing, led by party and government officials, and go to the French Embassy to visit the German flight team." Chen Bulei continued to suggest.

"We want these German pilots to feel our sincerity and make them believe that the previous incidents were caused by misunderstandings between the two sides. If they don't understand, we can also claim that someone is trying to destroy the friendship between China and Germany and push the problem to the Japanese." Hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement.

"However, all this must have an important premise, which is also the most difficult and critical issue at present. We must find the missing German pilot and the lost technical information of the Germans. The president, I don't know if there is any news about this issue?" Chen Bulei held the table and bowed respectfully and asked.

Facing the questioning gazes of his aides and confidants, thinking about Miss Kong Er who had been like a kite with a broken string since the breakup last night, and Dai Li who had been silent after making a call in the morning, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but feel angry from his heart and resurrected his courage.

"Mom Xipi!" The chairman slapped the table.

I'm asking for monthly tickets. It's raining for days and the author is slightly ill. Now I need encouragement and motivation.

Thank you for your support. (To be continued.)
