"Germany in 1938 will have no president" Litvinov glanced at Korentai, "Madame, you mean that the Hohenzollern dynasty may be restored" "There is a great likeness," said Collentai, "that the Junker nobility were royalists, and Hersmann was their man, and of course royalists." ” She paused, and then said: "Hersmann's idea of the European Union is very similar to the United States of Europe proposed by the German emperor, and before the world war, many German politicians fantasized about the establishment of a Europe with only a single customs organization to confront the United States on the other side of the ocean.
Isn't the EU proposed by Hersman such a thing?
Of course, from a practical point of view, it is impossible to integrate all European countries, excluding the Soviet Union, into the European Union.
The United Kingdom, France and Italy will not consider joining.
The Germans may have to aspire to a small European Union that includes all the territories of the former German Empire and Austria-Hungary, plus the Baltics, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Norway, and perhaps the Polish Confederation. ” "It's about the Holy Roman Empire plus the Kalmar League, which is a union of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden."
Litvinov lifted off his gold-rimmed glasses, thought and said: "Merge the Hohenzollern and Habsburg dynasties through dynastic marriages, so that Austria is annexed, it will be very easy to unite Czechoslovakia and Hungary, and Croatia, to which Yugoslavia belongs, will also shake Madame, your analysis is very reasonable, this is probably the route of the Germans to realize the ideal of the European Union." ” The People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a shallow sip, "This is what we are trying to avoid," he smiled faintly, "and we can't let our German friends get what they want too easily." ” Colontai laughed.
"They can't be easy, they are the destroyers of the existing order in Europe.
All the breakers of order in history will face many difficulties, because the maintainers of the old order will do everything possible to stop them.
She put away her smile, "Actually, we're also saboteurs."
Litvinov smiled and said: "But we are calmer than the Germans, because our system has great superiority, so time is on our side."
Let the Germans sabotage first, we just took the opportunity to develop the Germans' misdeeds, which has made the international situation favorable, and now we have to be a defender of the balance of power in Europe, and when the Germans can no longer hold their breath and use force, our opportunity will come. ” Before 1931, the biggest "villain" in Europe was definitely the Red Soviet Union.
It was the largest, most populous, and most resource-rich country in Europe, practiced deviant Bolshevism, and was industrializing rapidly, leaving the old British and French imperialism shuddering.
And now, the biggest "villain" in Europe seems to have become Germany, at least in the eyes of the French, it is already Germany, although the French government of the White Left does not dare to attack Germany by military means, but it does not mean that they will not use diplomatic means to cobble together an anti-German alliance.
The Red Soviet Union had long seen through the minds of the French, so before the German troops were stationed in the Rhineland, they put forward the concept of "collective security in Europe".
It was hoped that a "collective security treaty" would be signed that would include the USSR, Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Finland, the Baltic Republic and France.
In return, France signed a Franco-Soviet treaty of mutual assistance with the Soviet Union alone, and France supported the Soviet Union's entry into the League of Nations and its permanent membership.
Such a proposal would be tantamount to a relief for the French "Haha, you're Admiral Ludwig now, how do you feel?"
Schleicher patted the epaulettes on Hersmann's shoulder, which was the rank of "second-class general" or "general of the arms" or "general of the arms" of the Wehrmacht.
The lieutenant general of the Wehrmacht had only one star, and the major general's epaulettes were bareplate without a star.
As for the lieutenant generals, there are generals, second-class generals, generals, and marshals, but the rank of marshal of the Wehrmacht has not yet been awarded.
Therefore, among the active duty soldiers, the highest rank is the first-class general.
At present, there are only three major generals in the army: Defense Minister Schleicher, Deputy Defense Minister Blomburg, and Chief of the General Staff Hameststein.
On November 13, 1932, Hersmann received the rank of General of Infantry, but his position remained unchanged, and he remained Deputy Chief of the General Staff, equivalent to the former First Quartermaster, and is now the third most powerful person in the Wehrmacht.
Second only to General Schleicher and General Hammestein.
On the same day as Hersmann, Guderian and Kesselring were promoted.
The former was promoted to the rank of General of the Armored Corps, and at the same time was appointed by the Director General of the Armored Corps.
The latter was promoted to general of the aviation forces and became the first commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht Air Force.
The promotions of the three generals were completed in the ceremonial hall of the Ministry of Defence, and the Minister of Defense, Senior General Schleicher, personally wore epaulettes for them.
Hersman was the least senior of the three, and was therefore the last to wear the rank of general.
"It's a great responsibility," Hersman turned his head to look at the epaulette infantry general, and a further step was the army general.
"But let's find a place to have dinner now, I'll have a treat.
Or go to my house, Chloe just hired a chef who knows how to cook French food. ” "French food is good, I like it very much," Guderian smiled wittily, "although I don't like France, but I have to admit that there are still many good things in this country, and French food is one of them."
Also, their tanks are great, some of the best in the world, and I, the commander of the Panzer Corps, only have some children's toys in my hands. ” "But you're going to teach the French a hard lesson with those toys in the future."
Hersmann said, "Heinz, I know you have a way. ” "Is there a way" Guderian shrugged and spread his hands, "how I don't know" "I know," Kesselring smiled and picked up the subject, "to bomb future Army units with planes or just to stay behind the Siegfried Line."
The outcome of a world war will be decided in the air. ” "Duhey's point of view," Guderian said, "but I believe more in de Gaulle's building of the professional army and in the armored warfare of the Fuller."
By the way, Ludwig, that Fuller seems to be your admirer. ” John Frederick Fuller was a "National Communist" who, after retiring from the British Army, became close to a British National Socialist organization called the New Union of Great Britain.
And he also seems to have read many of Hersman's writings, embraced the idea of currency wars, and agreed that the Great Depression was a conspiracy of the Jewish financial oligarchy, in fact Hersmann's views are being "verified" by the facts.
In the upcoming U.S. presidential election, Franklin Roosevelt, who was leading the polls, put forward a "New Deal" plan.
And some of Roosevelt's New Deal is confirmed by the book The Conspiracy of the Jewish Financial Elite of the Great Depression.
"The few people who understand," Hersman said as he walked to the parking lot of the Ministry of Defense building with the three generals, "the British are mostly confused, their success came too early and too easily, and they did not realize the importance of nationalism."
The fact that Britain is not an empire dominated by statism has taught them and Europe a hard lesson" When he said this, the expression on his face was already a little solemn.
It was not because of British confusion, but that Hitler always thought about British continental policy from the position of an "English nationalist".
This gave Hitler the illusion that he would "not fight a world war" or that he could rule the world with Britain.
And it was not only Hitler who harbored such illusions, but also many people in the Wehrmacht who did not recognize this.
"Your Excellency General" At this moment, a young captain, who was Schleicher's adjutant, trotted all the way to Hersmann and the others.

"A call from the Prime Minister's Office, an emergency meeting of the Cabinet is going to be held."
"Emergency meeting" Schleicher and Hersmann glanced at each other, and after the Wehrmacht was stationed in the Rhineland, Germany returned to a low profile and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
The situation in Europe also seems to have returned to calm, except for the frequent exchanges between the Soviet Union and France "What's wrong?"
Schleicher asked.
"French Prime Minister Kurban and People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union Litvinov have just issued a joint statement: they hope to sign a security pact with the participation of many countries in Eastern and Central Europe in order to maintain peace in eastern and central Europe."
"Looks like I can't eat your French food."
Schleicher looked at Hersmann and said with some regret, "The French and Soviets are really looking for trouble." ” "Let's go to the Chancellery," Hirschman said, "and we must seriously consider whether or not to join the Convention." ” This is about the historical Eastern Pact, and Stasi's agents have been keeping a close eye on Franco-Soviet interactions for months.
Naturally, I have heard a lot of information in this regard, and it can be said that Hersman has basically grasped the general content of the convention.
"Join," Schleicher was stunned, "Ludwig, you're not kidding, this pact is against us" "Haha," Hirschman laughed, "who said that the French who must destroy White Poland and use the Soviet Union to contain us is the biggest joke in the world," he muttered for a moment, "so my opinion is to join in exchange for France recognizing the legitimacy of our reconquest of the Rhineland and the restoration of compulsory military service." ” t1706231537:
