Chapter 728: handle
Because if it is assumed that Germany will win the war, then of course everything the German officers and soldiers have done is meaningful. Their sacrifices and battles will of course bring benefits to Germany, and they will also receive honors and medals.
but…
If Germany is doomed to fail, then the resistance and sacrifice of German officers and soldiers will not be honored, but will become disaster.
This theory is a bit like Wang Jingwei's "curve to save the country".
But they are fundamentally different.
This is not about justice, injustice, or aggression and being invaded.
Sure, they are morally important, but they have nothing to do with the military and war.
From a historical point of view, not only just wars can be won, but injustice or aggression will definitely be defeated... This only exists in movies, novels and fairy tales.
If justice can determine the outcome of a war, then Mongolia should not have destroyed one country after another and slaughtered one city after another, and the Eight-Power Allied Forces should not have entered Beijing to burn, kill and loot.
In fact, it is not only wrong but also dangerous to hold the view that "justice must prevail" in reality, because it can easily lead people to make wrong judgments about the situation between the enemy and us.
The situation in Germany at this time is different from Wang Jingwei's "curve to save the country", because at this time, Germany's internal and external troubles opened up battlefields in several directions at the same time. Internally, there were countries including France that were annexed by waiters, and externally, there were Britain, the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom. The colonial powers, the Soviet Union, and the United States, which will enter the war.
Germany has almost no chance of winning.
In this case, it is obviously reasonable to stop the war and surrender as soon as possible to seek peace, which can save Germany from being eventually broken and dismembered.
But Wang Jingwei's "curve to save the country" was proposed when the war between China and Japan was at a stalemate.
At this time, China is entirely possible to win, and it can even be expected that the United States will definitely join the war in the near future. As long as China persists in resisting and dragging the Japanese army, the overall strategic situation will develop in a good direction.
In this case, Wang Jingwei rigidly put "China must be defeated" because of his personal struggle for power, and derived a set of "curve to save the country" theory, which is completely confusing right and wrong, and not distinguishing right from wrong.
Major Bauer thought about it for a long time before replying: "Maybe... we can win!"
"Yeah, maybe!" Shulka said, "But that's going to have to wait for a miracle, you mean?"
Major Bauer didn't answer, but frowned and smoked fiercely with a cigarette in his mouth. After a while, he ran out of cigarettes, and Shulka handed him another one in due course.
"You should know what to do in Germany's interest, Major!" Shulka said. "End this war, the sooner the better! Otherwise, you know what will happen in the future... British, Americans, Soviets, And the French and even the Africans, who will storm into Germany and give you back tenfold what you have done on their soil!"
"But what can I do?" Major Bauer said angrily: "I'm just a major. Could it be possible to end the war by selling information to you? The result is still the same. I'm not stupid. You will still rush into Germany. The difference It's just that you won this war more easily and faster, but I will become a traitor!"
Shulka waited quietly for him to finish speaking, and then replied: "You may have another choice!"
"What choice?"
"Think about it!" Shulka said: "What is the root cause of this war!"
Major Bauer didn't understand what Shulka meant at first, but after a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Shulka in surprise, and said, "You mean...Hitler!"
Shulka nodded and said, "This war was actually initiated by him, wasn't he? If you get rid of him, all problems will be solved...Germany can rely on its existing military force to negotiate with other countries. You guys Negotiating capital, because if the war continues like this, we will also die and wound many people, many people! Believe me, no one wants to do this. So, the next question is on the negotiating table!"
This may not be in line with Southeast Asia's view of war. Southeast Asia emphasizes "it is better to smash the jade than to destroy the whole", but European commercial countries that only care about interests, they will consider issues from the perspective of "interests", and they are against each other. Both are beneficial to "mutual benefit and win-win", because only in this way can an agreement be reached.
The plan proposed by Shulka at this time is a "mutually beneficial and win-win" plan, so it is very likely to be realized.
Akadyevich, who was listening to the interpreter's explanation, couldn't help being a little stunned when he heard this. He looked at Shulka with disbelief. He couldn't believe that such a grand and reasonable-sounding plan would come from a person. Major, an infantry major.
Although this plan can be said to have just started or even not started, if the set of arguments and theories put forward by Shulka just now were brought to Germany by a few "spies", it is not difficult to imagine that it will definitely convince everyone. A large number of German officers and soldiers.
The reason is very simple, because this set of arguments is analyzed from a realistic perspective, and then the most beneficial approach to Germany is obtained.
So, this cannot even be said to be "treason", but should be said to be "saving Germany", regardless of whether those German officers and soldiers have selfish intentions.
For the Soviet Union, there is almost no need to consume resources... no ammunition, no supplies and equipment are needed, and only a few words and limited operations and funds are needed to create a big wave within the German army and split the German army. Can remove the Führer to end the war.
Akadyevich was completely convinced at this time.
"He is a genius!" Akadyevich said to the staff: "Compared to a soldier, a hero, or a commander, he should be a spy or a staff officer of the General Administration of Military Intelligence!"
What Akadyevich didn't know was that Shulka was actually not as clever as he imagined. He just knew what direction it would develop in the future and used it in advance.
"How is it?" Shulka asked Major Bauer: "You don't need to rush to answer, we can give you time to think about it. But..."
Speaking, Shulka looked at his watch, and then said: "I think you'd better make a decision as soon as possible, because the longer the time delays, the more you will be suspected when you go back!"
"You mean..." Bauer looked at Shulka in surprise.
"Yes!" Shulka said: "As I said before, we are not actually interested in the intelligence you know. But, we must ensure that you are under our control, understand?"
So Major Bauer understood that, just like the Germans did with the Soviet prisoners, they needed to get some handles.
