Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Speaking of China, Yannick really envied China's ability to assimilate. Since the collapse of the Later Tang Dynasty and the weakening of the Song Dynasty, a large number of Khitans in the north, except for the branch that went west, have been sinicized, followed by the Jin people, and then the Mongols and Manchus. Almost without exception. Almost everyone who bullied the descendants of Yan and Huang eventually became a member of China... Even the Jews, who are said to be the most difficult to assimilate, were accommodated and absorbed by China as "Blue Hat Hui Hui".

On the other hand, the mustaches of the original time and space held high the banner of Germanism and pure Aryanism, let alone implemented the assimilation policy. They looted the occupied areas, especially the occupied areas on the Eastern Front, whether it was machinery, equipment or food and vegetables. , everything that could be dismantled was demolished, everything that could be pulled away was taken away, even the factory buildings and the wheel wheels were not spared. They were almost like robbers. Even in Ukraine, the breadbasket of Europe, "food-free zones" appeared in the rear due to Germany's excessive and crazy plundering, which also caused a large number of Soviets to die due to famine. The surviving Soviets could only receive basic life-sustaining needs. food.

At the same time, the Germans implemented a slave labor policy in the occupied areas, using force to arrest young men and women everywhere, even teenagers between 10 and 14 years old. It required a large number of people to repair warehouses, build bunkers, open roads, and build airports for them. A place for labor, or to replace German workers so that they could serve in the army.

Under such brutal rule, it would be strange for the locals not to rise up and resist.

Yannick knew that a gentle policy was the best strategy compared to using tough tactics to suppress. He began to carry out people's livelihood economic construction in stages in the occupied areas, reducing the living pressure of local people, thereby gradually winning over people's hearts. Even if he had to suppress, he would only Hit that small part of the stinger.

"Dr. Goebbels, I am reminded of the Roman Empire more than a thousand years ago and its invincible Roman legions. The Romans did not have any natural advantages to take advantage of. They did not have the vast desert to protect themselves or herds of horses. Our Their ancestors even laughed at them as the dwarfs of 'Little Italy'. Their enemies were not barbarians who were so poor that they couldn't even make iron weapons. Even the Celts, who were the least ranked among them, could forge sharp iron swords. Rome All people can rely on is themselves, and they all rely on excellent tactics and equipment that were ahead of that era, well-trained soldiers, and advanced military concepts; how similar it is to Germany."

Goebbels smiled slightly. "Your Highness, I believe that under your leadership, Germany will become a thousand-year empire."

"Thousand-year Empire..." He would be considered a long-lived person if he could live to be 100 years old. It would be satisfying to see a human base established on the moon and an outpost established for human exploration of space in my lifetime. I don’t know if Tesla’s anti-gravity engine can succeed. If it succeeds, will we see humans colonize the moon and even conquer Mars in our lifetime?

"Your Highness, we're here." Just when Yannick's mind was filled with random thoughts, Anne beside him reminded him softly, allowing him to calm down.

The armistice agreement was signed between Germany and France at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris.

The Paris City Hall is located on the bank of the Seine north of Notre Dame in the center of Paris. It was rebuilt after the original building was burned down in May 1871. It was completed in 1882 by Ballu and Depert. This building has been an important venue for political activities in France for several times. It was the center of major historical events during the Middle Ages, the Bourgeois Revolution and the Paris Commune of 1871. Now that the Paris City Hall is once again shouldering its mission, it will witness a historic moment.

To be fair, Paris City Hall can indeed be called a treasure of art. The exterior architecture maintains the Renaissance style, and the interior decoration has the artistic characteristics of the 19th century.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As soon as Yannick stepped out of the car, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time raised their cameras one after another. The spotlights that looked like a big spoon in their hands were shining and emitting wisps of white smoke.

Looking at this kind of gadget with a strong sense of the times, Yannick couldn't help but think of the story of Cixi.

According to data, Cixi may have been the first person in China to be frightened by magnesium powder and gunpowder. In 1903, Yu Xunling, who returned from studying in France, became the court photographer of the Empress Dowager Cixi. He brought back from France a complete set of the most advanced photography equipment in the world at that time, including spotlights. When she first took pictures of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the magnesium pink lamp was so frightening that Cixi repeatedly shouted, "This must be a foreign magic trick that will capture the soul of the family!"

A dignified supreme ruler of a huge country was so frightened by a camera that foreigners thought was ordinary. Seclusion in the country was really misleading people and the country.

The bulb of this kind of spotlight is disposable. After flashing once, the bulb needs to be replaced and flashed again. Under Yannick's instruction, several camera companies in Germany have been studying the use of high-voltage discharge luminescence principles that can be used repeatedly. It won't be long before the buzzing spotlight will be replaced.

"Hi! Hohenzollern!" The ceremonial soldiers standing on both sides of the corridor steps, wearing white gloves and holding Mauser 98k rifles, stood at attention and saluted. Their raised right hands formed an arch on both sides of Yannick.

Yannick slowly walked up the steps, and every step made the French officials waiting at the end tremble.

The people in the hall had already been divided into two groups. On one side were the senior German officials headed by Marshal Rundstedt, and on the other side were of course the senior officials of the French Vichy government headed by Marshal Pétain.

"Hi! Hohenzollern!"

Yannick raised his forearm and returned the salute before walking to Petain. "Marshal Pétain, I have long admired your name. I have always wanted to meet you, the French hero of the last war, but I never thought it would be on such an occasion."

Marshal Pétain stretched out his hand in embarrassment, showing a self-deprecating wry smile. "His Royal Highness Yannick is serious. This old man is not worthy of the word hero. Now he is just a traitor in the eyes of others."

Yannick raised his eyebrows slightly, and after saying hello, he turned around and gave an impromptu speech to the reporters.

“I recently heard some people criticizing Marshal Pétain as a traitor and a traitor.

This is a bit ridiculous. As the victor of the tragic Verdun meat grinder in the last war and the battle commander who suffered nearly a million casualties, do you think Marshal Pétain was afraid of death? No, I believe that the Marshal is not afraid of death, because he was very brave when he served in the early years, and he was an outstanding general during the last war.

The Marshal is now 83 years old. If he is afraid of death, he can just surrender silently like others. There is no need to stand up as the head of the government and be accused of being a traitor.

You must know that when he takes over the position of Prime Minister, the only thing he can do is surrender! Did France, the most powerful country in Europe, fall into defeat under his command? of course not! It was those incompetent people like Reynaud, Gamelin, and De Gaulle who ruined France; I don’t know how Mr. De Gaulle had the nerve to go abroad to incite the death of the French people.

Marshal Pétain saved Paris from the ravages of war, saved France in the core area of ​​the war from being devastated, and saved a generation of young French people who should have been drafted into the army from dying on the battlefield... However, in all this, Marshal Pétain changed What comes is that at the age of 83, he still has to bear the eternal infamy!

There is a saying that "the person who knows you best is often not your friend, but your opponent." In my opinion, Marshal Pétain is fulfilling the responsibilities of an old gentleman, and at the same time he is carrying a load that even France cannot bear! He is a well-deserved French hero! He is also a very responsible and respectable gentleman! "

His impassioned and wonderful defense brought continuous applause from the audience, and even Marshal Pétain straightened his back unconsciously.
