"We are in the air over the Adriatic Sea, my head." The special plane attendant put a cup of hot tea in front of Xu Jun.

"Thank you." Xu Jun nodded gracefully.

"Should I contact the Berlin side, my head of state." Weiler asked while stirring the spoon in the coffee cup.

The aircraft is equipped with a military long wave radio station, which is standard equipment when the fw200 is used as a reconnaissance aircraft.

"It's still not necessary. I believe Ribbentrop will handle everything." Xu Jun picked up the teacup and gently blew the hot tea.

The German head of state finally recalled the matter of meeting with the Soviet special envoy that afternoon.

To tell the truth, Weierle was deeply skeptical of Xu Jun's statement. He was convinced that the head of state had pre-planned this. Otherwise, with the carefulness of Disenhofen, how could such an important foreign affairs event be missed on the head's schedule.

The Soviet Special Envoy has been in Berlin for more than half a month. The German hospitality was very thoughtful. They were invited to listen to operas and concerts. They led them to visit the military training and weapons testing ground. Played in turns, three days of dinner at both ends. But one thing made the Soviets very dissatisfied, that is, the German head of state has been hiding and staying abroad, just refused to return to Berlin to meet them.

Finally, the German head of state was expected to return to Berlin. The two sides decided on the meeting time, but just one hour before the meeting, the head of state was gone. Weierle felt that if he changed to himself, he would definitely get angry and hit the wall.

"I am worried about Molotov, he is not a good-tempered gentleman." Weiller reminded.

"Relax, Weiler, Molotov came with Stalin's mission, he will not tear our face with us until he has completed the mission. I know what Molotov wants to talk to me, but We are not ready to deal with it yet." Xu Jun put down the teacup and wiped the corner of his mouth with a towel.

"The scientific and technological information they want is really too sensitive, and it is clearly beyond the scope of the German-Soviet non-aggression treaty." Weierle said.

"This is a smart people, and the Slavs' IQ is not as low as Hitler said, and they must be very careful when dealing with them, otherwise they will fall into their traps. Well, I don't want to talk about this again." Xu Jun waved his hand , Indicating that this topic can be over.

"Understood, my head of state." Weiller was not very good at diplomacy and international relations. He could only choose to believe that the head of state's judgment was correct.

Xu Jun opened the curtains and looked down. The blue Adriatic Sea seemed to be close at hand. The weather was very good. The sunset shone on the sea and reflected the golden sparkling waves.

"In another hour, we will be able to reach Taranto." Disenhofen reported.

"That piece is the Apennine Peninsula." Weyler pointed to the distant coastline.

"It seems that Italy's shipping has recovered well." Xu Jun nodded slightly. On the route close to the coast, you can see a continuous stream of large and small freighters.

Italy’s social order has been restored faster than people thought. The previous war did not cause serious damage to Italy’s infrastructure. Germany did not launch a carpet bombardment of Italian cities like it did Britain. Speaking of this, it is also because there are not many valuable strategic goals in Italy, and the goals with true strategic value are also very important to the Third Reich.

Don't look at the reputation of Italian weapons in World War II, but their precision processing capabilities are not lost at all to their German counterparts. The main reason why Italian weapons have been criticized is that the design concept, materials and processing quality are still quite reliable.

Germany has recruited a large number of skilled technical workers from Italy, all of whom have military manufacturing experience, and these people are what Germany currently lacks most.

After Italy's overall disarmament, a large number of soldiers were demobilized and returned to their hometowns. The rural labor force became saturated. Those surplus laborers began to transfer to cities. Although they caused some social problems, they also filled the previous industrial labor gap.

In the war, Italy suffered the most damage not from the industrial area in the northwest, but in the agricultural provinces in the central and eastern parts. Because the German wheat was just planted when the winter wheat was just planted. Take care, the poor harvest in the second year is already predictable. Duran wheat is the main raw material for making pasta, so domestic food prices in Italy have started to rise rapidly.

Fortunately, Germany relaxed Italy's fuel and raw material import quotas, and at the same time assisted a large number of Italy's food and daily necessities. I believe these materials will help Badoglio to consolidate its rule and will help a lot.

The German Ministry of Economy estimates that Italy’s domestic economy needs at least two years to recover before the outbreak of the war. However, Xu Jun knew that the outbreak of the Eastern Front War was inevitable and Italy could not stay out of the matter.

The fate of the old European countries is now closely connected. Once Germany fails, the entire European continent will fall. Relying on the existing strengths of Britain and France, they are simply unable to resist the attack of the Soviet behemoth, and the United States is rebuilding the banner of glorious isolation. If there is no certainty of victory, Dewey will never intervene in the war in Europe. The US Senate has even begun to discuss whether it is possible to abolish a batch of old navy ships and prepare to use the saved funds to improve social welfare.

The secret deal of replacing the destroyer for the island has now been exposed by the American media, and it has become another evidence of Roosevelt’s intention to intervene in the European war. The former president has fallen into the dilemma of betrayal, the "war dealer" under his name. The label can't be taken off until death.

However, those fifty four-chimney destroyers are indeed good things. Although they are all old goods more than 20 years ago, they are still well maintained. After a little renovation, they can basically play 70 to 80% Performance. Historically, these warships, as "royal" class destroyers of the Royal Navy, galloped on the Atlantic battlefield, and many of them also made outstanding military achievements. Unfortunately, in this time and space, they are destined to end their lives at the ship recycling facility.

Xu Jun changed history, and history also changed him. He has become a part of this world. Xu Jun finally got used to the life without a mobile phone and a computer. Fortunately, he traversed relatively early. If he is used to smart phones and the Internet, this kind of life will be even more difficult.

However, every era has the fun of each era. Humans can always find ways to be happy. At least Xu Jun's spare life is quite rich and enjoyable.

As historians and military fans, you can find surprises everywhere in this era. Those who only have photos of classic weapons in later generations can now watch them at will, or even try them out for themselves. He drove a prototype mosquito prototype, boarded the famous battleship Bismarck, and even drilled into a U-shaped submarine to simulate a naval battle.

He also learned to appreciate the singing and dancing performances of the 1940s, to tell the truth the German taste is just like that. In his spare time, he will also go to see the opera, but basically all of the works on the market in Berlin are Wagner.

"I have an idea, Weirler, we can make a movie." Throwing away the latest issue of "Signal" magazine, Xu Jun picked up a tea cup and said to Weirler.

"What are you talking about? My head." Weiler didn't hear clearly.

"I said, I want to make a movie." Xu Jun said loudly.

"It's an interesting idea, my head, you can go and discuss with Minister Goebbels. Can I take the liberty to ask, what is your movie about?" Weiler asked curiously.

The chief of staff has long been accustomed to the jumpy thinking of the heads' outburst. When you read a magazine, you can think of making movies. Weirler couldn't help glancing at the magazine cover and found nothing special. A pilot was standing on the wing, holding a flying helmet designed by the head of state.

"I'm going to make a science fiction movie about a story that happened in a distant galaxy." Xu Jun took a sip of tea and put down the tea cup gracefully.

"This sounds very attractive and very exciting, my head of state." Weiler has no interest in this kind of thing, but out of politeness, he still wants to encourage it.

"My head, the plane is about to land." The cabin crew opened the curtain and reported to Xu Jun.

"Let's talk slowly when we get to rest." Xu Jun patted Wehrler's shoulder, and then fastened the safety belt on the seat.

ps: The second chapter is served. Yesterday's debts are settled.

Thank you for your encouragement, the author will continue to work hard.
