Ribbentrop's airship was ten hours overdue and had not yet landed in Athens. This made the Germans in Athens very uneasy, so they sent a telegram to Berlin.

And the call back from Berlin turned their uneasiness into fear.

The foreign minister has actually disappeared!

Thus, a massive search campaign began.

The order given by Berlin was to see people alive and to see dead people when dead.

Even if it turns into ashes, the ashes must be brought back.

God knows, Berlin has any way to prove who the ashes belong to. Anyway, this is the notice issued by Berlin!

But...this is a bit difficult!

Although Berlin is crowded, in the wild Germany there is still a large area of ​​forest and inaccessible swamps.

And Ribbentrop's airship had to pass through exactly such a place.

What's more, Ribbentrop's airship not only had to pass through German airspace, but also passed through the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Romanians. It even had to fly over Poland for a part of the way.

God knows where Ribbentrop was at this time, whether he was dead or alive.

Asch ignored this, and Ribbentrop was soon replaced by his confidant Goebel.

Germany could no longer afford to wait, nor could it wait until Ribbentrop was found before taking action.

Because the French army on the southern front has begun to shrink. Moreover, Germany and other countries were not notified through the European Council in Brussels in advance.

This shows that Napoleon has abandoned the European Council. He no longer believes that the European Council can unify the actions of European armies.

Even when the German representative at the European Council questioned the French representative, the French representative could excuse himself by citing strategic needs.

If the French retreat, Ming's fist will most likely fall on the nose of the Germans next time.

In order not to be beaten and to reduce the empire's losses, the most important thing at the moment is to reach an armistice agreement with Ming Dynasty.

Goppel was escorted by five airships, and no one knew which airship Goppel himself was on.

The airship flew at the ultimate altitude of 8,000 meters, and after taking off, it specifically circumvented Polish airspace.

After a twelve-hour flight with constant twists and turns, Goppel finally arrived in Athens.

Although he was on the road for a long time, Gopel did not feel tired at all.

Because the conditions inside the airship pod were very good, Goppel even took a hot bath and then had a good sleep. After eating a traditional German dinner, he felt that he could fight to death.

tiger.

Negotiating something like this is really like fighting a tiger. Not everyone has the courage to sign the surrender document on behalf of their country.

But there was no way, Ribbentrop disappeared.

For a while, Goppel even thought that Ribbentrop disappeared on purpose. As long as he signed the document that would definitely make him infamous for thousands of years, the damn Ribbentrop would come out on his own.

But on the airship, Goppel received a telegram.

The wreckage of Ribbentrop's airship was found in the Black Forest in southern Germany.

The reason it was discovered so quickly was because the burning airship caused a wildfire.

After locals put out the wildfire, they discovered the charred remains of the airship.

There were many charred corpses on the ground, each one burned to only half of its original size. It was impossible to determine which one was Ribbentrop.

We can only use an airship to take all the corpses back and have them examined by forensic experts. Who is the unlucky foreign minister?

Ribbentrop's death frightened Goebel, which showed that there was a group of forces in Germany that did not want to sign this agreement.

And these people are probably among the people participating in the Supreme Meeting.

I believe that the secret police are already investigating. Although the results of the investigation have not yet come out, everyone knows that the mastermind behind it must be a high-ranking figure.

After getting off the airship, a Ming Dynasty jeep parked under the airship. There were also several armored vehicles and trucks of soldiers escorting us.

These soldiers are not Greek soldiers, they are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who are armed with live ammunition.

Obviously, Ming Dynasty also knew the news of Ribbentrop's death.

The espionage network is really developed. I just found out about it not long ago, but the people of Ming Dynasty also found out about it.

It’s only been a few hours!

It was already very dark at this time. Zheng Sen got out of the jeep, walked up to Geppel and stretched out his hand.

"Welcome, Mr. Propaganda Minister." Zheng Sen said with a warm smile and pure German.

When they were on Changxing Island, Zheng Sen had studied German with Tang Ruowang. When they went to Berlin that year, Bismarck was really surprised.

"Hello, Your Excellency Dahonglu, your German is really good." Geppel quickly stretched out his hand.

"Hahaha! This is all due to Mr. Tang Ruowang. He is a very respectable elder in the Ming Dynasty."

Zheng Sen looked at the thin dwarf in front of him with curiosity. He didn't understand how the Germans, who were famous for their tall stature, would send such a guy to negotiate with him. Could it be that the Germans also knew how to show weakness?

"Oh, Mr. Tang Ruowang, I know he is a loyal servant of God. Is he okay?"

"It is a pity that he passed away last year. Daming held a grand funeral for him, and his cemetery is next to the church.

There is a big cross stamped on it to let people know that this is a respectable person."

Zheng Sen said with a smile.

In fact, Tang Ruowang's cemetery is indeed next to the church. But because there are no believers, there is only an old janitor cleaning the church.

Moreover, it is the habit of Ming people to stay as far away from cemeteries as possible.

Who would like that a dead person is buried in the place where they pray devoutly?

However, according to Western tradition, it is the glory of the clergy to be buried next to the church.

It was obvious that Gopel understood according to Zheng Sen's thinking, and he held Zheng Sen's hand with obvious force: "Thank you for giving a decent funeral to a servant of God, thank you for doing so much for him.

I believe that there is just a little misunderstanding between Dezhi and Ming Dynasty. As long as the truth of the matter is clarified, we will become very good friends."

Goppel said excitedly.

"I hope so. This is not the place to talk. We already know that Mr. Ribbentrop died. He died for the great peace.

We must complete what he has not completed.

Please get in the car, and we will protect you to reach the German Embassy safely. However, you must be careful with your embassy officials, do not drink the water there, and do not eat what they give you easily."

Geppel's heart tightened, what the hell was he thinking?

"I was specially appointed by the head of state by chance, so let's go to your place for talks.

We have the highest authority and we don’t need to go through the German Embassy.”

"That's great, please get in the car." Zheng Sen took two steps and opened the heavy door of the armored vehicle.

"I have received news earlier that someone has offered a very high bounty for your life. This is the best ride!"

"Okay!" Goppel swallowed. He didn't even know that he had become the first German official to peacefully get into a Ming armored tank.

Zheng Sen smiled when he saw Geppel getting into the armored vehicle.

The convoy started to move, and to be honest, the feeling inside the armored vehicle was not good at all.

Not only does it have a strong smell of diesel, but it also makes a huge noise.

When the armored tracks run over the Greek stone roads, you can hear the extremely unpleasant sound of metal rubbing against stones.

Even Zheng Sen feels that sitting here is a kind of torture.

Geppel naturally felt that this was an absolute torment.

However, when fierce gunshots were heard outside and bullets hit the outer shell of the armored vehicle, no one cared about the suffering.

At this time, they just hope that the outer shell of this armored vehicle is as thick as possible. It is best to be thicker than a tank!

The jeep had been beaten into a sieve, and the driver had been shot dozens of times and was lying in a pool of blood.

The soldiers on the truck were shooting at the enemies rushing out in all directions.

The 12.7mm heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles were not idle either.

Fire snakes spurted out one after another, killing those guys who were greedy for bounty through the wall.

It seems that the person behind the bounty is brave enough to bid.

Because those killers look very brave.

Despite the heavy rain of bullets from the Ming army, he still saw the opportunity and fired at the convoy.

The truck is no longer usable because the driver is no longer alive.

Fortunately, several armored vehicles arrived this time and were able to calm down the attack.

The firepower of the 12.7mm machine gun is so fierce that no killer can get close in the dark.

The armored vehicle drove in tenaciously, its tracks occasionally running over some dilapidated carriages and obstacles such as big trees.

Due to limitations of knowledge, these killers still use traditional methods to block roads.
