After arriving at the Berlin Railway Station, Mussolini thought that Hans would hold a grand welcome ceremony for him. At least Mainz would come to greet him in person, right? However
, to his disappointment, only Propaganda Minister Goebbels and several soldiers and government officials from Hans welcomed him at the railway station. Not only did Mainz not show up, there was not even a decent welcome ceremony. There were no guards of honor, no armed police and military guards, and no clearing of the railway station to ensure his safety! The
Berlin Railway Station was bustling with people in a hurry. After seeing the situation here, everyone just glanced at it a few times and then didn’t look at it anymore, and hurried on their way without looking back! The huge contrast between ideal and reality made Mussolini a little unacceptable for a while!
“Humph, aren’t the Hans too arrogant? How could they treat their distinguished guests like this? They are indeed descendants of Germanic barbarians!”
In anger, Mussolini directly called the Hans barbarians, as if he had put himself in the role of the conqueror of the Roman Empire. If you didn’t know, you would think he was Caesar!
Today’s Italians don’t actually have much Roman blood.
After a branch of the Germanic people, the Visigoths, broke through the capital of Rome, the Western Roman Empire had already perished.
After the demise, the Western Romans fled to the Eastern Roman Empire, and those who remained in Western Rome were also conquered and assimilated by the Visigoths.
In addition, there were a large number of Celts among the barbarians who invaded Western Rome, so today’s Italians are also mixed with a lot of Celtic genes.
I’m afraid that there are very few real purebred Romans, or even no real ones.
After all, it’s been 1,500 years since the fall of the Western Roman Empire!
Today’s Hans are indeed descendants of the Germanic people, but the Italians are not much better. In this case, they regard themselves as orthodox Romans, which is really putting gold on their faces!
“”Sir, is it too rude to say that our country is a barbarian nation in front of a Hans like me?”
Goebbels, a propaganda minister, came to replace the Minister of Foreign Education to welcome Mussolini. He was already unhappy about this. If it wasn’t for General Mainz’s instructions, Goebbels would have quit long ago!
As a result, he made a special trip, but Mussolini was so arrogant that he spoke rudely to the Hans in front of him. This kind of thing is really intolerable!
So Goebbels’ attitude towards Mussolini became extremely cold, and his tone was cold without a trace of warmth.
Mussolini’s old face blushed. He spoke Latin, but he didn’t expect that the other party could understand it, which made him very embarrassed!
Latin is widely spread around the world.
Not only the Italian language in Italy belongs to Latin, but also the Banya language in Banya, the language of the neighboring Portuguese country, and the languages of almost all countries in South America, all belong to Latin.
However There are some differences in Latin in different countries.
Take Italian as an example.
Italy does not have standard Mandarin.
Their Italian is actually Latin dialects from all over the country.
Then the dialect of the Roman region with the widest influence is selected as the official language of the country.
Hans was very civilized as early as the Prussian period. Many Hans have a tradition of learning advanced foreign culture. The Renaissance originated in Italy, so many Hans have learned Latin to facilitate them to read works from the Renaissance.
It is not surprising that Goebbels can speak Latin. There are many people in Hans who can speak Latin. According to him, General Mainz not only speaks Latin, but also German, English, French, Chinese and some Japanese! The general mastered the languages of so many countries at a young age. This is the most surprising thing. At least Goebbels thought he could not do it!
“Sir, you must have heard wrongly. Our leader just praised Hans for his simple folk customs, warm hospitality and friendly country!”
Bilusius saw that the atmosphere was getting awkward and immediately stood up to explain.
Goebbels shrugged indifferently. Anyway, he was just here to pick someone up. Since the person arrived safely, his mission was accomplished!
“Everyone, get in the car, the Prime Minister is waiting for you!”
Goebbels stepped aside to make way, and gestured with his hand for Mussolini and his entourage to get in the car.
Mussolini took a casual look, and then couldn’t take his eyes away!
“What kind of car is this?”
His eyes were attracted by the car with a strange blue W logo. The shape of this car was completely different from the cars he had seen before!
The shape of this car was very strange. Compared with the clear, straight and steep designs of various countries now, the lines of this car were extremely soft, and every corner was extremely natural and rounded, which looked pleasing to the eye!
Although Mussolini did not study much about cars, he at least had a normal aesthetic sense. According to his aesthetic sense, he could give this car full marks!
He swore that he had never seen such a beautiful car!
“”The Beetle of Volkswagen Group!”
Goebbels took a look and said.
Volkswagen Group is a company under General Mainz. The company has currently acquired many automobile production companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, etc., forming Hans’s flagship automobile brand – Volkswagen!
The strength of this company is currently second only to General Motors in North America. Volkswagen’s annual production in 922 reached 2.4 million vehicles, and General Motors’ 3.4 million vehicles was exactly one million less. Considering the gap between Hans’ domestic market and the huge market in North America, Volkswagen’s production is already very impressive. They almost monopolized all the automobile markets in Hans.
And their products It also opened up the markets of various European countries. BMW, a sub-brand of Volkswagen, has very impressive sales in the UK. BMW, which focuses on youth and fashion, is very popular among young people in the UK! Audi, which focuses on mature business atmosphere, is sought after by Banya and Gaul, while Mercedes-Benz, which focuses on performance and experience, has the best sales in North America.
As for Volkswagen, they are already in short supply in Hans just by relying on the Beetle model!
There are only 100 red classic Beetles in front of Mussolini in the whole country of Hans. They are the type that are priced but not sold, and you can’t buy them even if you have money!
“This car is so beautiful, it must be expensive, right?”
Mussolini seemed to have become a devout car fan at this moment, even forgetting his business, and wanted to know more details about this car.
“Well, it is not cheap. A normal Beetle costs about 10,000 marks, which is about 1,000 pounds. A red Beetle like this one costs much more, about 100,000 marks!”One hundred thousand marks, that’s 10,000 pounds!
This price is really not cheap!
A car costs 71.5 kilograms of gold, which is really expensive!
“The Beetle in front of you is more expensive, it costs about 1 million marks!”
Seeing Mussolini’s surprised look, Goebbels deliberately revealed another number, which turned Mussolini’s surprise into shock!
“”What? Why is it so expensive?”
Mussolini’s eyes widened with disbelief when he learned that the price of the car in front of him was close to one ton of gold!
He had never expected that the car in front of him would be so expensive!
“Because this car is bulletproof!”
Goebbels raised his eyebrows and said to Mussolini with some pride.
Bulletproof cars, in this era, probably only Hans can produce them!
After all, the technology of bulletproof glass is currently only mastered by Hans himself!
