"It's impossible! In any case, the Third Reich could not agree to such a condition【 Ribbentrop, the German negotiator who was sent to Israel by the Italian battleship Veneto and then all the way to Saudi Arabia, shook his head at the negotiation table and said, "God, you don't know what's going on, do you understand?"
As he spoke, he took the glass in front of him and took a sip before continuing his speech: "His Majesty the king of Saudi Arabia can keep his share and obtain technical support from the Third Reich by mortgaging the burned oil fields... However, the United States, Britain, France and other messy shares are all under the name of the Third Reich, This is the biggest concession we can make. "
The envoys of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the other side of the negotiation table whispered and began to discuss the condition proposed by ribattrop. During their conversation, they kept shaking their heads. Finally, an old man at the head said to the translator, "although there are some unpleasant cooperation between our two countries, this is not a cooperative attitude towards the future, We can redistribute our share of oil, but the kingdom of Saudi Arabia must be absolutely dominant in this partition. "
dominance? You go to our Stuka bombers for dominance! You go to our tiger king tank for dominance! You go to our Zeppelin aircraft carrier and battleship for dominance! You go to our grenadiers and ask for dominance at the muzzle of their guns! Ribentrop thought bitterly.
However, he did not say these words directly. Instead, he looked at the old man with scornful eyes. At last, after the other party finished, he said with a smile: "since your country is so confident in its own strength, why don't we have a rest and restart this negotiation next month?"
one month? make fun of! Let alone waiting for a month, or another 20 days, the iron hoof of German armored forces may have already stepped on the West Bank of the Persian Gulf. Talk to the Germans at that time? What else to talk about? After hearing this speech, the Saudi special envoy's face became not very good-looking. It is obvious that the other side did not regard him as an opponent, but only made fun of him unilaterally.
"We know a lot about the great military achievements of the third empire, but that's not the reason for a great empire to bully, is it? There is a famous Arab saying: "the fate of a country can not be sustained by force." The Saudi envoys fought for better opportunities for their country as much as possible, biting their teeth in reply.
Ribbentrop is not an internationalist, compassionate man, and he simply dismisses these remarks: "Mr. special envoy, I think, Ibn? When his Majesty the king of Saudi Arabia asked you to come, he didn't tell you not to try to win benefits by flattering, did he? The third empire went through two wars, and our foreign office spent every day in all kinds of lies and frauds. "
After a pause, he raised his head and pressed his most threatening eyes on the members of the Saudi mission opposite: "the Third Reich gave Saudi Arabia the opportunity. We found oil from rich countries for Saudi Arabia, but Saudi Arabia chose to forget when imposing sanctions on Germany; When we were invincible in North Africa, we gave you a choice, but you chose to ignore it; Now that our army has defeated the Americans and the British, you come to us and say, "take away the fruits of victory for free?"
Weak countries do not have diplomacy, or have strong national strength as the backing, so they always speak hard in diplomacy. There's no other reason for ribattrop to say this solemnly, but because behind him are more than 400000 German Italian allied forces under Marshal Rommel, and 7.5 million invincible national defense forces of the third empire.
To be honest, Ribbentrop is in no hurry at all. For every minute of delay at the negotiating table, Rommel's army had a minute to move on. The attack was carried forward with little resistance, and the longer the delay, the better it seemed to be for the Germans.
When the tracks of the leopard tanks of the Third Reich hit the west coast of the Persian Gulf, perhaps the German foreign ministry would not have to worry any more. They just had to sit in the office and drink coffee, because at that time there would be no Saudi Arabia on the diplomatic envoy.
"Mr. Minister, please understand our difficulties. Saudi Arabia is just a small country, and we have no ability to resist such powers as the United States and Britain. " In a flash, the special envoy of Saudi Arabia played the sad card and began to count the heinous crimes committed by Britain and the Americans in Saudi Arabia. When Ribbentrop heard that he was sleepy, he stopped and said, "is it true that Germany's just teacher is going to take the old road of exploiting Arabia?"
"Exploitation? no This is a war! Sir Instead of taking the sad card from Saudi Arabia, Ribbentrop explained his point of view from another angle: "you see, we have not exploited any of Saudi Arabia's materials. This is our sincerity to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia... Of course, we must seize the enemy's materials, especially the oil resources of the British and American enemies. We can't compromise at all!"
Ribattrop directly regards Saudi Arabia's oil resources as the goods of hostile countries, and it is of course a matter of course to plunder these resources. So what he said was very reasonable, and he was not embarrassed at all. Both sides are playing according to their own routines, which is quite a kind of self talk.
"I think we can compromise on this... In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to make certain concessions to support the third empire to win this war." The first compromise was made by the Saudi envoy, who was unable to afford the limited strength. After struggling for a few hours, he was forced to make a concession: "we are willing to lend the share of oil from Britain and the United States to the Third Reich for free until the end of the war... It is in your interest and our interest."“ No, no, No. It's really in your interests, but it's not in the interests of the Third Reich. " As Germany's foreign minister, he is one of the men in Germany who know and master foreign affairs best. It's impossible for Ribbentrop to agree to such naive terms: "Saudi Arabia accounts for 20%, Italy accounts for 1.5%, Turkey accounts for half, Vichy France accounts for half, northern Britain accounts for half... The third empire accounts for 50% of Saudi oil share! As I have said, this is the bottom line of the axis powers, either agree or recess. " It has to be said that this era is the most proud one for diplomats. After the cold war, more and more complicated international relations make it impossible for diplomats to easily say the heroic words of either agreement or war. And almost all officials engaged in diplomacy dream of saying this sentence for their motherland: "if you don't agree to sign, then we will go to war!" While the Saudi envoys were whispering and discussing the countermeasures with an angry face, a German intelligence officer came into the negotiation room with a document in his hand, and then leaned against ribentrop's ear and whispered a few words. Then the smile on the German Foreign Minister's face grew stronger. He waved the intelligence officer to step down, but he stood up with a smile. In the eyes of all the people who didn't know why, he bowed slightly politely, and then began to say a piece of news that shocked all the Saudis present: "gentlemen, I think we can really recess this time. Because just a few minutes ago, the Intelligence Department of the German Air Force confirmed that Britain and the United States sent out all their bombers to conduct a comprehensive bombing of the oil fields controlled by the Saudi royal family. "“ What? " The old man, led by the Saudi delegation, stood up in horror and asked aloud with staring eyes. Then he realized something and immediately beat the negotiation table in front of him and yelled: "these damn Englishmen! These damn American bastards! We Saudi Arabia and these XX will never die The German Advisory Group and diplomats on the scene, looking at the angry Saudi mission, were mostly full of schadenfreude. The Saudis, who were watching from the wall, were finally dragged down by their former allies“ I'm sorry, Minister ribentrop. Please allow us to suspend the meeting for one day. We need to confirm the truth of the news and communicate with his majesty again... "The people who clamored to suspend the meeting just now were the arrogant Germans. Now, after a short time, they have become the weak Saudis. The wonderful things in this world are really unexpected, at least the instant change is really unexpected“ Of course, we will wait patiently for the result of your discussion. " Ribattrop smiles and, a little unaccustomed, reaches out his hand and holds it together. Of course, he has the time to wait patiently. Who is it? His army is expanding its territory just like entering a no man's land. He has full patience to wait. Unfortunately, the Saudi mission didn't let Ribbentrop wait too long, because they went back to confirm a little and found that the German intelligence was accurate. They were indeed attacked by American and British bombers. Ibn? Saudi Arabia is finally determined to take revenge on the United States and Britain. Three hours later, the Saudi royal family announced that it was on the side of the axis powers and declared war on the Allies... The cost was really distressing. The Saudi mission signed its name on the entry agreement drafted by the German without changing a word.
