Destroy the Sun Chapter 134: The Meeting of the Heads of State (Part 2)
.When talking about the head of the Third Reich, Chen Tian’s first image appeared in his mind was neither a military genius nor an efficient mass agitator, but a crazy, hysterical dictator, and the culprit that led to the demise of the Third Reich.
But at this moment, except for those things that cannot be changed - the same family background, the same date of birth, the same hair and face shape, Adolf Hitler, sitting opposite Chen Tian, looked exactly like another person, a shy, unsociable 40-year-old middle-aged man with a few wrinkles just climbed up to his temples, and his skin was so rough that he was exposed to sun and rain all year round. Due to the injury, there was not much blood on his face, but it was obviously stronger than the one in Chen Tian's impression.
There were only three people on the huge dining table, Adolf, Chen Tian, and Juliana.
The table was filled with food that was very attractive in color and fragrance, but none of the three of them focused on the food. Chen Tian's eyes were on Adolf, and Julianna's eyes moved back and forth between Chen Tian and Adolf. As for the only guest here, Adolf, the major officer from the German Marine Corps, had sweat on his forehead because of surprise and at a loss, and on the other hand, he was so excited that his eyes were shining with the two most noble people in this country.
Is this the famous demon king in the world?
Chen Tian denied this issue in his heart. There was no pain and shame of defeat, but also affected by the chaos and the so-called revolutionary atmosphere. The Adolf Hitler in front of him was a brave and competent German intermediate officer. Even in his own troops, he was a taciturn person. Of course, when the soldiers need to be mobilized before the battle began, he would show his extraordinary eloquence in time.
Without Herman Goring, without Rudolf Hess, and without Goebbels, does this person in front of him still have the chance to become a demon king and change Germany and even the world?
Chen Tian’s answer was very contradictory. Without such an environment, the potential of this person cannot be denied. You should know that from the moment he was born, rebellion was destined to be, and his life in Vienna gave him a very deep understanding of reality. At the beginning of the war, he disdained to join the Austrian army because he saw through the corruption and decline of the Habsburg dynasty, and his passion for war and even madness reflected another aspect of other human nature.
"His Majesty?"
Just as Chen Tian was immersed in his thoughts, Juliana, who was beside him, whispered to remind him.
If this continues, the atmosphere will become very awkward, and Chen Tian quickly realizes this.
"Major, I forgot the wound on your hand... Is it okay to eat like this?"
Such an opening remark even surprised Chen Tian himself. After all, the lines designed by a playwright are likely to be useless in actual situations. Moreover, it was difficult for Chen Tian to imagine in which direction such a meeting would develop, whether it would be a hit or a stubborn scene.
Obviously, this question caught Adolf on the other side off guard. Fortunately, this "celebrity" who is highly concerned by Chen Tian did not show any situation on such occasions:
"Your Majesty. Although it is a bit difficult, at least you can use a fork and a spoon! In fact... it is a great honor to have lunch with you and His Highness. Even so... there will be no regrets!"
"Major, don't worry. The servants will cut the food for you!" Juliana comforted Adolf with a smile, "This is just an informal dinner. Look, there is no outsider here... I'm talking about it, your majesty!"
"Yes!" Chen Tian responded quickly. For a monarch who doesn't like socializing, a queen like Juliana who grew up in a royal family and has a good manners and words in various occasions is undoubtedly a very useful supplement. However, in the eyes of outsiders, the combination of the two is ultimately based on politics.
Adolf over there gently pulled the napkin with his hand that could move freely, and said in a low voice:
"Your Highness...you are so polite!"
Chen Tian nodded to the attendant on one side and signaled that the meal could officially begin.
The top fish roe from Russia, grilled rabbit meat carefully cooked by a royal chef, the fried steak that makes people enjoy the appetite, the fragrant pine mushroom clam soup, and locally produced mackerel and shrimp. It was an ordinary lunch for Chen Tian and Juliana, but it was definitely a rare delicacy for Adolf, who had just come down from the front line not long ago.
During the meal, Chen Tian and Juliana tacitly reduced the frequency of their conversation so that the special guest could focus more on the food. It can be seen that Adolf was indeed hungry. During the meal, he maintained his due manners as much as possible. However, he forgot one thing that no one would eat half a rabbit, three steaks, a fish and a plate of soup at a high-level meal attended by royal members, although these foods were cut by the attendant before putting them on his plate.
Fortunately, Chen Tian and Juliana didn't mind this, but looked at Adolf who was still eating with kindness. Before the temperature of some of the food on the table dropped to reheating, he finally put down the spoon in his hand. The attendant immediately removed the plate on the table and changed the coffee and tea after the meal for the three people - Chen Tian and Adolf were all coffee, and Juliana had tea.
"I saw your deeds in General Hartman's report. To be honest, you are one of the few officers I know who can combine wisdom, courage and command. Therefore, I have specially arranged such a meal and kept them strictly confidential before you arrive here!"
Chen Tian's words were considered as a reason for inviting Adolf to have a meal. Although this invitation does not necessarily have any reason, Chen Tian hopes that this explanation can make Adolf feel more at ease. After all, it is impossible for him to tell him about something in another world.
Adolf stood up from his position, "It is my honor to be appreciated by Your Majesty. Being able to have lunch with Your Majesty is the supreme reward for me. Now I just hope to recover from my injuries as soon as possible, so as to contribute my strength to the empire and His Majesty's cause, even if I sacrifice my life!"
It is not surprising that these words of ambition were spoken from any other person, but who is the person in front of him? Others don’t know, Chen Tian is very clear.
He is really willing to stay below others? His hidden ambitions have lost the opportunity to sprout and grow?
At this time, Chen Tian suddenly felt an indescribable feeling that once a certain branch of history changes, many things will change, but this change is by no means complete. Herman Goering died on the battlefield. After Rudolf Hess retired from the army, he opened a small factory. Goebbels worked as a teacher at Heidelberg University, but Denitz, Redell, Guderian, Manstein, and Rommel had a life trajectory that was quite close to history. Most of their talents have been recognized, especially Denitz and Guderian, who are already household names in Germany. In comparison, Adolf is just an unknown one.
Chen Tian waved his hand and signaled Adolf, who was excited, to sit down.
"Major, your courage and loyalty are beyond doubt. Your contribution is worthy of this medal!"
As a long-prepared link, the attendant standing beside Chen Tian opened an exquisite wooden box, and a medal of only two colors of blue and gold was lying quietly inside. The cross composed of four arrows was a comfortable blue between sky and sea blue. Between the four arrows, there were four golden eagles spreading their wings and flying.
This is the Blue Max Medal, which ranks second in the German army, and its status is second only to the Grand Cross. For a German soldier who is a civilian, winning the Blue Max Medal is already a very high honor.
Chen Tian stood up, took out the medal from the box with his own hands, walked to Adolf, gently pinned it to Adolf's chest, and then saluted.
"Your Majesty..." Adolf's eyes were filled with tears. From the moment he was told at the door half an hour ago that "His Majesty the Emperor invited you to have lunch together", he seemed to have entered a dream, even happier than dreaming.
Just when Adolf was so excited that he didn't know what to say, Chen Tian patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, I think we can have a good chat!"
Adolf nodded vigorously.
"Is it OK?" Chen Tian smiled and looked at Juliana who was tasting tea. The former Dutch princess was very passionate about tea from the East. This time she came to the origin of the tea, and naturally tasted all kinds of famous teas. However, in Chen Tian's opinion, her English drinking method of pouring milk into the tea cannot taste the true taste of tea.
"Of course!" Juliana held the teacup gracefully. The happy major in front of her was certainly not a dangerous person. What else would men talk about besides their passion for military affairs?
So in the following time, Chen Tian and Adolf had a face-to-face talk in the study. At the beginning, Adolf was a little restrained, so Chen Tian deliberately chose some more relaxed topics like military career and battlefield interesting stories. Adolf gradually let go. Speaking of Austria, especially Vienna, Adolf showed his knowledge of humanities, history and art. After talking too much, Chen Tian became an audience without realizing it, and Adolf changed from a guest to a speaker. He not only gave Chen Tian
This art layman taught a small lesson about modern art and pointed out some shortcomings of the existing organization, equipment and combat mode of the Marine Corps. When talking about the development prospects of the German-Japanese War, Adolf tactfully put forward his own view that the Japanese were stubborn, despicable and hopeless, and they and their emperor system should be eliminated, but the cost of landing directly on the Japanese archipelago was too high. Fighting such island countries, bombing, and surface blockade would be more suitable conventional combat methods.
