Europe, in Berlin, the capital of the Third Reich.
Foreign Minister Ribbentrop’s office has become extremely busy since yesterday, with a large number of calls coming into his office. The callers are basically ambassadors from various countries stationed in Hans. They were stimulated by the news that the German army bombed the capital of the Eagle Sauce, and they were all shocked. So they all ran to try to get along well with Hans, so as not to anger Hans and be remembered by Hans!
After all, no one wants their capital to suffer a disaster like the Eagle Sauce and be bombed into ruins by the German army!
In addition, they called for another purpose, which is to spy on intelligence and see if they can get useful intelligence from Ribbentrop.
After completing the air raid, Hans immediately terrified the photos and even videos they took on the bomber!
Through these photos and videos, leaders of various countries saw how the German army easily turned the capital of the Eagle Sauce into ruins.
Among them, the powerful thermobaric bomb naturally attracted the attention of various countries.
The power of this weapon has far exceeded their imagination. They have never seen such a powerful bomb in their lives, so they are shocked and curious! No one wants to be blown up by this bomb, but they can’t help but want to find out the information about this bomb and try to make this powerful weapon their own!
If you can get this weapon from Hans, it would be great. After all, the power of this weapon is enough to be used as a strategic weapon for strategic deterrence!
Although nuclear weapons have not yet been born, the concept and idea of strategic deterrence have already existed among countries.
In order to meet their strategy, they must have a powerful weapon to act as a Dinghai Shenzhen!
Judging from the performance of the thermobaric bomb, this weapon is obviously very suitable to act as their Dinghai Shenzhen!
In addition to testing and trying to get along well with Hans, some South American countries even invited Hans, hoping that Hans’s head of state Mainz could visit them in South America.
The influx of these people, coupled with all kinds of messy things, made Ribbentrop very busy!
“Have a drink of water and take a break!”
Mainz saw Ribbentrop, who was busy as a dog, smiled knowingly, and gave a look to Secretary Baumann, who immediately poured Ribbentrop a cup of tea.
Although Europeans generally like to drink coffee, tea has gradually spread in the upper class of Europe, that is, the circle of aristocrats, since it was introduced to Europe by the Japanese in the 16th century!
In the British Empire, the nobles in the Fog City still have the habit of drinking afternoon tea.
And with the prosperity of the tea trade, more and more people in Europe and the United States drink tea. One hundred and fifty years ago, the cause of the Eagle Sauce War of Independence was that a ship of tea from the British Empire was dumped into the sea, which led to the Boston Tea Dumping Incident. This incident eventually evolved into the Eagle Sauce War of Independence!
Mainz usually drinks coffee with his wife, but he drinks tea more often in the office. After all, tea tastes more familiar!
“Which countries are trying to get intelligence from you, and which countries want to invite me to visit South America?”
Mainz was a little curious. The first thing was easy to say, Himmler could also detect this information, but he was more interested in the second thing.
In this era, visiting a country in another continent is not as simple as in later generations. Because there are no flights across continents, visits from various countries can only be taken by ship, and the speed of ships sailing on the sea is very slow. It takes more than 40 days to go from Europe to South America. The round trip plus the time spent in South America is almost a hundred days!
A hundred days is not a short time, and if the national leader is away for a long time, his control over the domestic situation will naturally be weakened a lot. If something unexpected happens in the country, he will be thousands of miles away at that time. He could only worry without any solution!
What’s more, the Third Reich was still at war at this time, and he had to pay attention to his own safety when he visited. If he really went to South America by sea, he might be intercepted by the enemy navy in the Atlantic. After all, the German navy’s current range of activities has not yet expanded to the South Atlantic, and they are mainly active in the North Atlantic!
Even if the German navy sent a fleet to escort Mainz, it could not guarantee his safety 100%, and once his whereabouts were leaked, the enemy could easily gather heavy troops at sea to intercept or even besiege him!
Therefore, this is not a good time to visit. I don’t know if the other party is sincere or has bad intentions when making such an invitation!
“Argentina, Samba, Venezuela and others have all sent invitations. These countries are almost the most important countries in eastern South America!”
Ribbentrop obviously knew what Mainz was concerned about, so he answered the second question first and the first question later.
“Do you think these countries are sincere or are they plotting against us on behalf of the Allies?”
Historically, these countries in South America were basically not involved in World War II. They only declared war on the Axis powers at the end of World War II when the war situation had become clear. However, they basically did not send troops to participate in the war. They just waved flags and shouted on the sidelines to make up the numbers.
However, the fact that these countries will eventually side with the Allies will not change, so Mainz does not have much trust in them.
South America is too far away. The most important continent in the Americas is still North America, and the most important continent in the world is actually the Eurasian continent. This is the center of the world and is known as the World Island. Other places are unimportant corners. Already.
Because South America is isolated overseas and very far away from other continents, their presence in the world has always been very low, and they are not even as important as Africa!
If not for this, they would not have been able to escape the two world wars perfectly!
For this reason, Mainz does not attach importance to these countries in South America.
At most, they hope that they will not stand on the side of the Allies and become enemies. After all, South America has abundant natural resources and extremely developed agriculture. If they really stand on the side of the Allies, they can become a big cow behind the Allies, which will enhance the combat effectiveness of the Allies to some extent!
“I think it’s half and half, both possibilities are possible, but I am more inclined to believe that they saw our strength and saw that we beat the Eagle Sauce in North America, so they thought this was an opportunity to get rid of the Monroe Doctrine, so they were so eager to invite us to visit South America!”
