Chapter 862 Hitler's Psychological Warfare (3rd Update)
He arrived at the magnificent Chancellery in the same car with Hitler. In Hitler's particularly tall and spacious luxury office, Hessmann met Minister Hess and Foreign Minister Ribbentrop who had been waiting for a while. and Propaganda Minister Dr. Goebbels, as well as Hermann Göring, the somewhat overweight President of the Council of the European Communities.
The four Nazis all looked as happy as if they had just won the jackpot. When they saw Hitler walking in, they all stood up from their chairs and gave the German salute.
"Hi! Hitler!"
This is the etiquette among Nazi party members. Soldiers like Hessmann also perform the German salute (the hand-raising salute is actually one of the traditional European military salutes), but they will not shout: "Hi! Hitler!".
Hitler nodded to several of his party members, raised his hand in return, and then said: "I believe you already know the situation on the front line."
The German Chancellor also seemed very excited. He did not sit down behind his desk, but paced on the soft carpet, waving his arms as he walked and said: "We have obviously won the war! The Bolsheviks have lost their most valuable Mechanized Corps, this is a fatal blow! Thousands of tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed or captured by the warriors of the Wehrmacht. Now we have gained freedom of movement on the Eastern Front battlefield!" He suddenly raised his voice and became extremely excited. , we can always take Leningrad and Moscow if we want."
When he said this, he suddenly looked back at Hessman, "Marshal of the Empire, am I right?"
Hessman shrugged, "If we have endless oil, the Wehrmacht can indeed reach the gates of Moscow in a very short time."
However, Germany does not have endless oil to burn, so whether to attack Moscow still needs to be considered in the long term.
"But the Soviets don't know how much gasoline is left in our oil depots." Adolf Hitler looked at Goebbels, "Doctor, the focus of propaganda should be to completely overthrow the Bolsheviks' brutal rule in Russia, and to make Stalin and his The partisans felt the danger of imminent destruction... What kind of forest was that where the Soviets massacred the Poles?"
"Katyn Forest." Hersman knew that Hitler was going to make a fuss about the Katyn Forest incident.
"Yes, Katyn Forest." Hitler said, "We must fully publicize it and let public opinion across Europe condemn Stalin..."
He thought for a while, suddenly waved his arms vigorously, and said loudly: "I think this should be a **** atrocity, a genocide, the purpose is to eliminate the Polish nation. Such crimes are intolerable in the whole of Europe." !
By the way, the same crime happened in right-bank Ukraine, which is not allowed in Europe! We must now hold Stalin and his followers accountable for their crimes! "
Goebbels also understood what Hitler meant and immediately replied: "Leader, I guarantee you that there will be overwhelming public opinion of condemnation, and the entire Europe will be incited by us to oppose Stalin and the Bolshevik Party."
Hitler nodded, and then looked at Fatty Göring.
Goering immediately understood: "The European Parliament will pass a resolution strongly condemning the Soviet Union's atrocities of massacre of prisoners and civilians, and the League of Nations will also pass corresponding resolutions of condemnation and sanctions. In addition, Red Cross personnel will go to the Katyn Forest and Ukraine investigation.”
Hitler then set his sights on Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, "Cancel the meeting between Reich Marshal and I and Molotov, and don't go to Switzerland either. Leave Molotov there!"
In addition, the Empress of Russia can be invited to visit Berlin in the name of His Majesty the Emperor... This time it is an open and formal invitation! "
Although the Russian White Army appeared in the early stages of the Soviet-German War, Queen Olga has now returned to Tsarskoe Selo on the outskirts of Leningrad in a grand manner. However, the German government has not publicly recognized the Russian Imperial Government, nor has it publicly invited the ministers or the Empress of the Russian Empire to visit Berlin... Although the Empress herself has no difference between visiting Berlin and going home, she has never been treated as an empress. .
"Prime Minister, is this psychological warfare?" Hersman asked with a frown.
"Of course," Hitler smiled and said, "Diplomatic negotiations are psychological warfare... If we want to get Left Bank Ukraine and East Belarus as we wish, we must make Stalin feel that there is a noose around his neck. , and it’s getting tighter and tighter.”
Diplomatic psychological warfare was Hitler's specialty. In addition to making a fuss about the Katyn Forest incident and labeling Stalin a *****, Hitler also had other clever tricks. One is to use the Belarusian forces represented by the Empress of Russia to hype up the "Russian Fusion Theory" and create an illusion for Stalin that Germany's "policy of not destroying the Soviet Union" is changing!
Another clever trick in psychological warfare is to win over the United States.
"In addition, we can invite the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland, John F. Kennedy, to Berlin." Hitler looked at Hess, the minister in charge of negotiations with the U.S., "Can this be done?"
Kennedy could only go to Berlin secretly, but the Soviets had many spies in Switzerland, and there were probably internationalist fighters in the U.S. Embassy in Switzerland. Therefore, the fact that the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland went to Berlin to meet Hitler could not be hidden from Stalin. .
"This..." Hess thought for a while and said, "Leader, we must offer some attractive peace conditions."
Hitler turned his gaze to Hersman again, "Reich Marshal, we must let Stalin know that he may be abandoned by Roosevelt. This will make him and his followers panic, and then cede the Left Bank Ukraine and Eastern Belarus out of fear. Do you have any suggestions for this?"
Hersman thought about it and felt that Hitler's words made sense. In the original history, when Stalin proposed peace, the Pearl Harbor incident had not yet occurred, and the Soviet Union was actually isolated and helpless.
"We withdraw from South America, and the United States withdraws from Australia." Hersman thought, "In addition, the United States abolished the Lend-Lease Act, and we did not pass the Lend-Lease Act... Moreover, the peace treaty between us and the United States does not include the Soviet Union and Japan."
In other words, Germany betrayed Japan, and the United States betrayed the Soviet Union. Then Germany turned the Soviet Union into Russia and incorporated it into the European Community, becoming the hegemon of the Eurasian continent. And the United States beat Japan into a rag, and then turned the Pacific Ocean into an inland lake.
"Yes," Hitler nodded with a smile, "That's the plan! I think it will scare Stalin into a cold sweat."
"But..." Hersman asked carefully, "We can't really accept such peace conditions with the United States, right?"
In fact, Hersman also doubted whether Roosevelt would accept such peace conditions. If another president, such as Dewey, ruled the United States now, perhaps there would be a possibility of peace between the United States and Germany.
But Roosevelt would never allow Germany to "integrate with Russia" smoothly, otherwise even if the United States defeated Japan, it would not be able to fight against Germany, which ruled the Eurasian continent.
"Of course not," Hitler answered very affirmatively, "We can't sell out our allies... This is immoral and will damage the international reputation of the German Empire. So after we invite Kennedy to visit, we should explain and appease the Japanese side, and at the same time appropriately meet some of their requests.
For example, provide more captured tanks to Japan, and let European shipyards build aircraft carriers for Japan. If the Japanese want airplanes, we can also provide the latest products, that is, jet aircraft can also be sold to Japan. In fact, once we force a landing in the Soviet Union, Japan will be invincible, which is good for them. There are only advantages and no disadvantages. "
"Then the negotiations with the Soviets..." Hersman continued to ask, "If Minister Ribbentrop does not go to Switzerland, then who will maintain contact?"
"Let Count Schulenburg be the ambassador to Switzerland. He is more familiar with the Russians and can contact Molotov. In addition... Ms. Lesinskaya can continue to stay in Switzerland and deal with the Soviets."
Hitler thought for a while and said, "I think we can also let the Russian Empress's people participate."
"Russian Empress?" Hersman was a little confused by Hitler's suggestion. How could Olga participate in the negotiations with the Soviet Union? She was probably the most opposed to the Soviet-German peace talks in the world.
Hitler blinked at Hersman and smiled, "My Imperial Marshal, you should know that politics is very dark and dirty. Don't look at the surface. We politicians are all high-sounding. In fact, there are all kinds of interest exchanges behind the scenes. "
"Of course I know." Hersman said this, but he still didn't understand what Hitler was thinking.
The German Chancellor laughed sarcastically and said, "We are like this, and those Bolsheviks can't be saints! As far as I know, during the most difficult period in Leningrad, many senior Bolshevik cadres in the city sent letters of loyalty to Tsarskoye Selo! If we are determined to restore the Romanov dynasty in Russia, then why can't Her Majesty send someone to contact Molotov?"
Comrade Molotov is a loyal GCist fighter. Of course, he will not surrender to the Russian empress, even if Olga makes him a duke and chief minister. And this loyal GCist fighter will definitely report to Stalin the news that the Russian empress is trying to win him over.
This will give Stalin a greater illusion that Germany has really changed its position and is ready to overthrow the rule of the Bolshevik Party in the Soviet Union. And Stalin, who is suspicious by nature, will also doubt his subordinates... The Russian empress likes to recruit surrenders and traitors. Now that she has contacted Molotov, is it possible that other people have also been secretly wooed? In the past decade or so, when the Soviet Union's national strength was booming, so many "reactionaries" were discovered. Now that it is facing a disaster, everyone has become a staunch GCist fighter. Is this possible?
