Chapter 375: Visit

"What exactly does the madman Hitler mean?"

"Hitler was busy expanding his military strength as soon as he started. Where did the finger point? The world is in trouble again, and the peaceful and stable development model has been greatly challenged?"

The world was once again confused and shocked by Hitler's actions. People understood that Germany hoped that the second polar world would unite and jointly fight against China's expectations of dominating the world. They understood that Germany's political intention was to not want the world to be led by China again, but they absolutely did not expect that Germany would dare to make a fuss about the military because Germany did not have the ability to challenge the super-existing China.

"Whether Hitler will lead Germany to a state of no return, the consequences of his leading position to sway the strong lion will be very serious, and the Germans will pay the price for this."

There are different comments from countries, but most countries are worried about Germany's military expansion. Except for the United States and Britain, calm and silent, other countries are more or less afraid of Hitler's fanaticism. Many countries believe that the world is not yet at the moment when war is needed to solve the problem. Germany takes the lead in an arms race, which may drag the entire world into a military confrontation again, and the turmoil ahead is inevitable.

Obviously, the Germans are not isolated and helpless. At least the United States, Britain and other countries secretly expressed their default attitude towards Germany's military expansion. Hitler also dared to do this after careful consideration and arguing with the United States, Britain and other countries. He was also testing China for what kind of reaction China would make.

China's political fu expressed incomprehension and great concern about this move. China Daily published an article titled "Is it the world threatening China, or does China threaten the world?", which refuted Germany's large-scale military expansion in an attempt to break the world's military balance, implying that Germany must return to the previous policy framework and use peaceful diplomatic means to resolve the various crises facing the world, rather than dragging the entire world into the arms race again.

Out of warning to Germany, China's political team announced to the world on November 15 that China has successfully conducted a ballistic missile test, thus mastering the ballistic missile technology with a range of 5,000 kilometers, and will accelerate the development of ballistic missile technology in the next one or two years and further expand the range of the missile.

Most of China's previous missile tests were conducted secretly, but this time the test was so high-profile. Most of the comments given by the world media said that China was demonstrating to Germany to show its strong muscles. In the field of ballistic missiles, other countries are still in the theoretical stage. The most leading Germany has only successfully developed several models of medium-range missiles, with a maximum range of less than 400 kilometers. The Germans are still unable to create long-range missiles that can penetrate the atmosphere and return to the ground.

This time, the test launch of China's missile was more than half a year ahead of the original plan. This is also Li Tiancheng's order to display the scientific research results as soon as possible and sound the alarm for hostile forces to prevent them from committing acts that endanger China's security at all costs.

The emergence of ballistic missiles was first three years ago. China successfully tested a medium-range missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers. This time, the test launch increased the range to 5,000 kilometers. Today, when the total number of talents has expanded sharply, the development speed is certainly incomparable.

Considering the sudden changes in the international situation, Li Tiancheng asked the scientific research department to completely change the original slow development plan and accelerate the development of national defense science and technology. In addition to ballistic missiles, the research on nuclear submarines should also be accelerated, so as to build submarines that can launch missiles underwater as soon as possible and maintain a threat to the enemy country.

In addition, in terms of nuclear weapons research, Li Tiancheng also feels that it is necessary to increase capital and talent investment, strive to conduct another nuclear test within the year, and to form a military force within one to two years to deal with possible emergencies in the future.

Also in the development of third-generation aircraft, Li Tiancheng also issued an order to speed up the development. The funds and manpower will be increased several times in the future. The test aircraft of the J-12 fighter jet is about to be made. It can be tested in the spring of 1937. At that time, it can be equipped with troops according to the situation.

The tense situation continues to take place. Germany's military expansion plan only mentions the proposal to expand the army to more than one million people. There has not been any more detailed explanation yet. It is obvious that it is to test the world's reaction. Hitler will further increase investment in the military field according to the specific situation.

It was soon January 1937. This year was supposed to be the year when World War II broke out, but this crisis broke out just after this year's end, and history had coincidences.

Previously, due to Li Tiancheng's foresight, the global economic crisis did not break out on a large scale. It only broke out in 1933 that swept across Europe and the United States, but it only lasted for more than half a year and was controlled.

Li Tiancheng naturally knew that the economic crisis had greatly reduced China's product sales. He had already taught the world an economic lesson and reminded them that governments of all countries should not believe too much in the free market economy theory. Political government still needs to regulate the market at the appropriate time. The successful regulation of Chinese government has set a good example for all countries, thus causing the economic crisis that originally broke out in 1929 to disappear in the long river of history.

Past history has proved that Li Tiancheng's appearance is changing the development of various fields such as politics, economy, military, science and technology, and state relations in the world to a greater extent. History has become unpredictable. Even Li Tiancheng does not know what will happen in the world tomorrow. He can no longer be as familiar with the laws of historical progress as he has overthrown the Qing Dynasty in China, so as to make timely deployment and adjustments for his plans for tomorrow. Today, he can no longer do this, and he must take one step at a time and adapt to changes, which has also brought certain difficulties to his decision-making.

Winter has arrived quietly with heavy steps. The white snowflakes in the sky are mixed with the cold and suffocating air, dancing over the streets and alleys on the streets of Washington, a beautiful picture covered in silver appears before your eyes.

The snow on the street was more than five inches thick, which made almost all cars in Washington stop using it. The arrival of winter also caused the political center of the United States to fall into silence. The crowds of people walking on the streets decreased drastically. Occasionally, a few people wearing thick cotton jackets and hats wrapped around their heads and ears. People walking along the street were hurriedly passing by the snowflakes, making squeaking sounds. Most shops on the road were suspended due to the arrival of a blizzard.

In front of Lafayette Square in front of 1,600 Pennsylvania Avenue in downtown Washington, rows of yellow city road wreckers cleared the snow in front of the square, making a rumbling roar, bringing a touch of excitement to the quiet streets. This time, more than 20 snow sweepers were dispatched, five or six times more than normal.

Looking through the snowflakes as big as goose feathers dancing on Lafayette Square, a group of young and beautiful girls, about twelve or three, stood in front of their hands holding flowers. The girls' fair faces and white snowflakes reflected each other, showing that special beauty.

Next to them were twenty or thirty American political office workers looking up and turning their eyes to a street on the north side of the square. The snow removed there was piled up on both sides of the road like hills. There was no deep snow in the middle of the road, which could be used for motor vehicles to drive.

"Here, come, everyone should pay attention to lifting the flowers in their hands, and try to show the enthusiasm and hospitality of the American people later. Keep smiling at the guests at all times, and then send the flowers out according to my instructions. Your task will be completed. You can go to the political office to receive the rewards you deserve." A middle-aged man in his early forties and wearing a black suit was walking back and forth in front of a row of girls, telling them something: "Behave naturally, don't be restrained, and don't be nervous."

Several girls stood for too long, and their hands and feet were cold. They began to rub their hands hard and stamped their feet on the snow. The flowers in their hands were also tilted to the side. After the middle-aged man reminded them, they returned to their neat formation. With the political officials who knew the sophistication at first glance, they kept a look-ahead gesture, raised their necks in a beautiful curve, and looked at the streets on the northwest with a tender and lovely smile.

A sharp whistle came from the deserted street five hundred meters away, breaking the tranquility of the block ahead. Through the snowflakes floating all over the sky, the girls saw a dark convoy ahead driving towards Lafayette Square. The convoy kept a slow and rhythmic speed, which seemed quite solemn. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was definitely not an ordinary convoy.

About a dozen American-made General Motors cars gradually approached, and then slowly stopped on the road in front of the square. There were two extended cars mixed in the center, which looked grand and solemn, luxurious and atmospheric.

Soon the doors of several cars in front and back opened, and those who walked out were stout young men in suits and tie. They looked around the surrounding streets and kept their due vigilance. Among the American political staff, several senior officials had already smiled and greeted them and walked towards the two extended cars that looked like small houses.

The car door was pulled open by two young men, and two middle-aged men in suits came out, and then a foot wearing shiny brown leather boots poked out from inside. Then what entered people's eyes was a straight blue plaid suit and a dark brown flowing tie. Finally, it was a handsome, fair and unique face, especially a thick and sexy mustache in the middle, which immediately left a deep impression on people, making people feel that he looked like a movie star.

The combed with shiny and bright sides also left the image of an elder who loved clean and tidy to greet the girls. The two beautiful middle school girls had tried their best to squeeze out a smile and came to the head of state of Germany from the other side of the ocean. They handed him flowers representing friendship and hospitality with their fresh and white hands.

This elderly man with a bit of majesty and a sense of instinct that makes people dare not look down on the domineering is the world-famous German Chancellor Adolf Hitler. This time he was specially invited by US President Roosevelt to visit the United States for a friendly visit.

This visit was also the first German leader to visit after World War I. It seems that the relationship between Germany and the United States has eased from the pre-war confrontation to the point where it entered the honeymoon period, which has to make people imagine.

Due to heavy storms and snowstorms in Washington, Hitler landed from an airport in the southern United States, then transferred to Washington by rail in the United States, and arrived in Washington north. More than a dozen German political entourage members were in two extended cars, and then slowly walked out of the car.

"Welcome the great Mr. Hitler to visit the United States!" Two female students with bright smiles raised the flowers in their hands high and handed them to Hitler who was walking forward a few steps, and enthusiastically sent sincere and warm greetings to Hitler in standard American English.

Hitler immediately squeezed out a rare kind smile on his calm and cold face. His thick and sexy mustache made people feel a little warm. He stretched out his big white palm and gently patted the two girls' heads covered with golden hair twice to show the intimacy and love of an elder for his younger generation. Then he took the flowers and held them in his hand. The low and enthusiastic words squeezed out from his thick lips: "Thank you, cute American girls!"

"Please!" A middle-aged man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses followed Hitler with a smile and stretched out his friendly palm forward.

The man in his forties, wearing a brown suit, is Bayney, Vice President of the United States President Roosevelt. He welcomed Hitler and his entourage from the train station to Lafayette Square. In front of the square were all American political staff coming to greet him.

Hitler turned to Baini and smiled friendlyly, then walked straight ahead and lined up to welcome him.

"This is Douglas, a White House security adviser."

"Hello, welcome the great German head of state Prime Minister Hitler to visit the United States!" A middle-aged man stretched out his hand to Hitler with a bright smile on his face, and then the two shook hands. The man felt great honor. Hitler nodded and bowed to the man and continued to walk forward.

"This one is..."

After Hitler shook hands with the American political welcome officers one by one, he followed Baini toward the front. A German political official in his early forties followed him had a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon, his face was as sharp as a knife, and his eyes were full of firmness and gloomy.

The man was staring forward with expressionless eyes and followed Hitler towards the front. The man was Rudolf Hess, vice chairman of the Nazi Party. He was once Hitler's deputy in history. At this time, he was highly valued by Hitler and served as the German Minister of Defense. He attended the visit this time to show Germany's importance to the United States. In particular, the level of exchange between the German and American militaries has gradually increased.

A white building with a sense of vicissitudes of history is not far ahead of him, and it is still so eye-catching among the flying snowflakes. It is the White House where the office and living place of the past US presidents are.

"White House, when I see you today, it's true that it's worthy!" Hitler extended his thumb to the White House, which was magnificent among the snowflakes, and gave a respectful smile on his lips, and praised indifferently.

"Prime Minister Hitler has been awarded!" Baini nodded to Hitler with a smile and said modestly.

"Prime Minister Hitler, on behalf of the American politics, I will arrange accommodation and banquets for you. In the afternoon, I will lead you to the White House to meet President Roosevelt. The president will hold a closed-door meeting with the Prime Minister in the conference hall. In the evening, President Roosevelt will prepare a high-standard dinner for you and warmly welcome you." Baini told Hitler about his work arrangements today.

Hitler nodded to the Ni, expressing his satisfaction with the itinerary, then put away his smile and restored his usual serious expression.

The phone ringing in the White House presidential office jingled. Roosevelt, who was in his fifties but his skin was still as fair and smooth as a young man in his thirties, showed his elegant and dignified face after the work was held.

Roosevelt's broad and flat forehead, with silver-gray hair, shining with a pair of sharp eyes, wise and kind, and his high nose bridge was on his handsome face, and the proportions were just right.

After Roosevelt picked up the phone, he immediately put it in his ear: "I am Roosevelt, please speak!"

"His Excellency President, the German Head of State, His Excellency Hitler has arrived at the White House. I have arranged accommodation and meals for them. After they have some rest, I will arrange for the President and Prime Minister Hitler to hold a high-level meeting in the White House living room. Do you think this arrangement is reasonable?" A familiar and respectful voice from the other end of the phone came from the White House Office Director Lanton.

"No problem, Lanton, everything depends on you. I have reserved three hours in the afternoon. I will have a long meeting with Prime Minister Hitler to exchange views on many events that both Germany and the United States are concerned about." Roosevelt said to Lanton calmly.

"Okay, then I'll make this arrangement. I'll call the president again in the afternoon. You can wait in the office." Lanton continued.

"Also..." Roosevelt suddenly remembered something again, his eyes flashed frequently, and a trace of solemnity flashed on his handsome face inadvertently.

"In addition, arrange a secret meeting place for me and Head of Hitler. After our official meeting is over, I will have a one-on-one meeting with Hitler alone. No one else needs to attend. You can arrange it and don't miss it." After a slight pause, Roosevelt said slowly in a low and different voice.
