661 Divide the future into three parts of the world
On January 10, 1934, in the evening, in the Tangshan Airport in Nanjing, which was blowing with a bitter north wind, Chang Ruiqing, with neat uniforms standing straight, and behind him were several senior officials of the Federal Government and the National Defense Forces, including Chang Ruiqing, each of them smiled and seemed to be in a good mood. This scene made the officers and soldiers of the Central Security Bureau, responsible for the airport guards and the Central Guard Division, secretly had a lot of associations. Who was the distinguished guest who was visiting today? He actually asked Prime Minister Chang to come to greet him in the cold? And his face was full of joy... The recent battle situation did not seem to be very good, right?
First, Japan showed its power, defeated the British-American joint fleet in Hawaii, and then attacked the Philippine Republic, which had just been independent. It took less than a week to break Manila and forced the Philippine government to surrender. Although China also took the opportunity to occupy Palawan Island and also took advantage of the opportunity to eliminate Borneo GCD and the Red Army to occupy North Borneo and Eastern Kalimantan. ê, but compared with the achievements made by Japan, it was still a bit shocking and it was a bit unpleasant to squeeze 5 with 910 shirts?
On the third day after the Battle of Hawaii, the Soviet Red Army suddenly invaded Finland without warning! In less than 10 days, before the reinforcements from Britain and Germany arrived in Finnish territory, they captured the Finnish capital Helsinki and expelled the Mannheim authorities, and supported the Provisional Government of the Finnish Democratic Republic led by Finnish GCD Chairman Otto Verigrimovic Kusining. They also issued an ultimatum to the Swedish government two days ago, demanding that they interrupt their iron ore exports to Germany within 72 hours. Otherwise, the Soviet Union would declare war on Sweden! The situation of this world war seemed very unoptimistic.
But Chang Ruiqing was in a very good mood at this moment because he had seen hope for victory! Today was British Foreign Minister Anthony Aiden and German Foreign Minister Walter Ratnau. Although it was not the first time that senior officials from Britain and Germany visited Nanjing, none of them were more important than today. Because British Prime Minister Chamberlain and German Chancellor Hitler had recently called together to clearly state that they would appoint representatives to Nanjing to discuss issues such as post-war Soviet territorial disposal and new world order.
It is too early to discuss the new world order, but the topic of Soviet territorial disposal after the war has given the Chinese government hope for victory, because it means that Britain is ready to stand with China and Germany, and it also means that China can get rich returns from this world war. Although the Soviet Union seems to be very powerful now, the senior Chinese officials standing at the airport today know that the strength of China, Britain and Germany is far greater than that of the Soviet Union. As long as the three countries are truly united, they can launch a strategic counterattack this spring! And Chang Ruiqing also firmly believes that if the Sino-British and Germany alliance can be maintained for a long time, the United States, a world hegemon in history, will most likely have no chance to lead the world. China in the future will have a rather relaxed external environment.
In the reverie of Prime Minister Changda, a German He111 passenger plane with a striking iron cross mark appeared in the sky. Soon the plane stopped steadily on the airport runway. After the gangway was lowered, a bald Jewish man with a big belly came out of the plane. When he saw Chang Ruiqing, he strode over. "Mr. Prime Minister, we meet again."
As he spoke, he hugged Chang Ruiqing, as if he had not seen a friend for many years. Chang Ruiqing had some personal relationships with the German Jewish Foreign Minister. The two exchanged a few simple greetings. The tall and thin British Foreign Minister Aiden leaned out of the cabin again. Compared with the German fat Foreign Minister, Anthony Aiden seemed much more reserved, like a real British gentleman, smiling, holding his top hat in his right hand, and then walked down gracefully with a cane.
"Mr. Prime Minister. I'm glad to see you." Aiden greeted Chang Ruiqing in an Oxford-sounding English, and then at the invitation of Chang Ruiqing, he boarded an extended Chinese Dragon brand bulletproof sedan with the Jewish Foreign Minister sent by Hitler.
The car drove rapidly along the spacious road towards the Tangshan official residence. Far away from Tangshan in the city of Nanjing, it is now the concentrated location of the federal government and the important departments of the National Defense Forces. Both sides of the road are tall buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles. Although they are not luxurious, they show an Eastern calmness, which is quite consistent with the international status this country currently has.
Chang Ruiqing's Tangshan official residence is not far from the airport. It is located diagonally opposite the Federal Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Defense. It is surrounded by a wall made of reinforced concrete. A large, large, power-controlled iron door has been opened in advance. The car opened into the gate from two rows of hand-held 31 automatic rifles, standing facing each other. When the turn is made, he will catch a completely Western-style, magnificent wooden and stone structure building, which is the newly completed main building of the official residence.
Because it was a secret visit, Chang Ruiqing did not prepare any luxurious welcome banquet for the British and German Foreign Minister. He just arranged a simple family dinner. After the meal, the first round of negotiations began in the small living room next to the restaurant.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I believe you have fully understood the purpose of this trip. This is a crucial effort by our three countries to win the future world. However, before the formal negotiations begin, I would like to thank your country for helping us for his righteous help in the time of unrest in the British North Borneo. The British Empire will never let allies pay for their simplicity. As a reward, we decided to transfer the protection of Brunei to your country."
The British warfare skills have been abandoned, but diplomatic skills are becoming increasingly sophisticated. In just a few words, the North Borneo issue, which could have become the fuse of the conflict between China and Britain, was lightly resolved. Of course, it is impossible to take back Sarawak and Sabah with these words. Even Chang Ruiqing agreed that the British Southeast Asian theater, with limited troops, could not come up with troops to guard. However, the nominal sovereignty of Sarawak and Sabah is a bargaining chip that can be used to trade with China.
Chang Ruiqing nodded without comment, neither acknowledging Aiden's statement nor denying it. Sarawak and Sabah are bound to win, not only these two territories, including Singapore, Malaya, and Myanmar. The British Empire's entire territory in Southeast Asia, China, and even the Dutch East India, the Philippines, French Indochina and Portuguese East Timor are no exception. In the future, the South China Ocean can only be the back garden of the Greater China Federation, and neither the United States, Britain nor Germany can be involved! Today, British Foreign Minister Aiden and German Foreign Minister Rattenau will sit here to talk to Chang Ruiqing, so naturally they are ready to recognize China's rights in Southeast Asia. Chang Ruiqing believes in this!
Aiden sighed softly in his heart. Sarawak and Sabah, the two bargaining chips, can be calculated at least half, plus Myanmar and the Malay Peninsula, as well as China's freedom of movement in the Dutch East Indies, French Indochina, Philippines and Japan, should be able to exchange something from China. So he smiled slightly and continued slowly: "Mr. Prime Minister, recently, Prime Minister Chamberlain and Prime Minister Hitler held an important meeting in Berlin. Some arrangements for future post-war world order and interests were discussed. We have reached an agreement on issues of common concern between Britain and Germany. Here I would like to inform you of the results of the meeting between Britain and Germany."
"Okay, I'm willing to listen carefully." Chang Ruiqing glanced at the fat German Jewish Foreign Minister sitting next to him. The latter was holding a cup of Chinese tea and was slowly savoring it, as if it had nothing to do with today's meeting. In fact, the situation is probably the same. There is no conflict between China and Germany. The two are too far apart, and Germany has no colonies in Asia. The reason why he accompanied Aiden to Nanjing was actually to be a peacemaker between China and Britain. If it weren't for the Soviet Union's attack in Northern Europe, it had already threatened the lifeline of the German Empire. Hitler would have personally accompanied Aiden.
The German Chancellor was very interested in the division of the Soviet Union and then jointly leading the world! In his opinion, the Germanic nation was undoubtedly the best. The history of Europe and the achievements made by the German Empire in industry and technology have shown this. However, the luck of the Germanic nation seemed to be a bit behind. In England, Spain and the Netherlands, which were originally insignificant, when the originally trivial European countries such as England, Spain and the Netherlands, built a world empire under the east wind of the Age of Discovery, the Germans were trapped in one internal and external disputes and turmoil after another.
It has lost the most precious opportunity for expansion. Although it has risen up and become the world's largest industrial power (not the largest industrial power) after the beginning of the industrial revolution, the two bottlenecks of territory and resources have become two major obstacles for the German Empire to reach the peak of world power. Compared with those world empires that expanded their mana and seized large areas of wealthy colonies in the Age of Discovery, Germany is like a giant dragon trapped in a narrow cage, either breaking through the cage and soaring into the sky, or sooner or later becoming a second-rate power in the world.
That is why William II launched a world war desperately and wanted to achieve Germany's hegemony by defeating the three strong men of Britain, France and Russia. Unfortunately, the end of being an enemy of the whole world was very tragic. Therefore, Hitler was not ready to follow His Majesty's footsteps. Fortunately, the emergence of the mortal enemy of the capitalist world of GCism, the Soviet Union, the capitalist world, gave him and Germany a god-given opportunity to revive. Because Germany is the barrier for the Western world to resist the expansion of the Soviet Union. As long as the Soviet Union has the ambition and strength of the world revolution, Germany must be strengthened! Also benefiting is China, a great country bordering the eastern territory of the Soviet Union. This miraculously revived country has a common enemy with Germany and is therefore the most reliable ally. But Hitler knew that if Germany wants to go far enough on the road to rise, it is not enough that China is the only ally.
Germany needs to form a truly reliable alliance with the British Empire! To achieve such an English-German alliance, it is not enough to rely solely on the Soviet Union, and it also needs to wait for the British Empire to lose world hegemony. Because only when the British Empire knows that it can no longer retain world hegemony, it will settle for the second best, seeking to cooperate with Germany that dominates the European continent and China that dominates the East to jointly lead the world on the basis of maintaining the empire to the greatest extent.
During the Berlin meeting a few days ago, the British Empire's Prime Minister Chamberlain finally truly admitted that the British Empire could no longer maintain world hegemony. Of course, it was not a verbal statement, but the first time that a superpower like Napoleon Empire could appear on the European continent, which was Germany! In the "Chamberlain Hitler Agreement" that has not been officially published, the British Empire recognized that the German Empire had the right to form a federation with six countries including Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, etc.; it had the right to annex the former Soviet territory on the north and south sides of the Greater Caucasus Mountains; it had the right to jointly protect the former Russian territory west of the Ural Mountains with Britain. On this, a disarming and no threat-free Western Russian Republic...
In addition, the Chamberlain Hitler Agreement also stipulates Germany's "sphere of influence" in Europe, and Germany's power is limited to Central Europe, Eastern Europe and the Balkans. After helping Sweden and Finland defeat the Soviet Union, German troops are not allowed to continue to station in the Nordic region.
In addition, the Agreement also stipulates that Germany's naval power is not allowed to exceed 35% of the total tonnage of Germany's main battleships, aircraft carriers, submarines and naval forces.
However, what excited Hitler and the German Wehrmacht's top leaders the most was that there was a separate clause in this agreement against France. The British Empire did not participate in any conflict or war between the German Empire and the French Republic!
In other words, Britain has completely abandoned its old ally France and no longer sought to maintain a balance between France and Germany!
France is definitely finished now! No, the French-Russian alliance is about to appear soon!!!
Thinking of this, Chang Ruiqing's face changed slightly, showing a solemn expression. In history, the Frenchman had helped Britain and the quantity and quality of the tanks were no less than that of Germany. They were all flattened by the Germanman's blitzkrieg! In this current time and space, Germany's military strength was more than twice as strong as in 1939 in history. There are also accomplices like China, how dare the Frenchman fight one-on-one? If they really wait until China, Britain and Germany dismember the Soviet Union. Can France still have a way out?
So as soon as the Chamberlain Hitler Agreement is exposed, Daraday will probably set off to run to Moscow immediately. It seems that it will take not long to go to China, Germany, France and Russia. These British people’s methods of calculating their allies are really clever! I don’t know what traps Chamberlain has prepared for China?
"Mr. Prime Minister, Prime Minister Chamberlain also hopes to reach a similar agreement with you to determine the distribution plan for China and Britain in Asia." After introducing the transaction between Britain and Germany, Aiden began to get to the point, and the fat German Foreign Minister no longer savored tea, but sat upright with his hands crossed and looked at Chang Ruiqing with a smile. Aiden said: "Now I want to talk about the requirements of the British Empire." He emphasized his tone and pointed out: "India has always been known as the gem on the crown of the British Empire. This gem is something the empire cannot give up no matter what!"
Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded, as if he had agreed to the British's request. He was originally a little interested in India's "fertile" land, but after carefully consulting several experts from the Ministry of Agriculture, he realized that India's land is not all very fertile. In fact, the fertility of the land is not proportional to the rainfall and temperature. Most of the truly fertile land is not in the warm and humid tropical areas, but in the relatively arid and cold subtropical and temperate areas. Because too much precipitation in the tropical areas will take away
The nutrients in the soil, and excessively high temperatures are not conducive to the growth of grain crops. The so-called three ripenings a year does not mean high yields... Of course, Java Island in Indonesia is an exception. In India, most of the land becomes barren due to excessive temperatures and excessive rainfall. Only the drier Punjab area in northwest India is the real granary. If Punjab is lost, India will definitely not be able to support so many people. It is not an exaggeration to say that controlling Punjab is controlling the rice bowl of India's Ah San?
However, now this granary that can feed more than 300 million Indian Assassin has been firmly controlled by the Soviet Indian Front and the Indian Red Army. If the Punjab still has a surname of G before the autumn harvest next year, the Indian GCD's country will be settled... In a country where eating is a problem, whoever has guns and food is the boss!
So it won't take long for the British to manage their hard for more than a hundred years and have to pull out the revolutionary storm of GCD. Even if the Soviet Union fails in the future, it will be difficult for Britain to re-establish colonial rule in India. If the British really value India so much, they may have to launch a counterattack before this autumn harvest. Regardless of whether it can succeed or not, they must destroy agricultural production in the Punjab region! But do the British have such strength?
Chang Ruiqing looked at Aiden and was obviously waiting for the other party to ask for help. But Aiden continued to say about Britain's demands: "In addition to India, the British Empire also hopes to gain control of the Middle East and the Near East. However, the British Empire can ensure that China's oil interests in Kuwait are not violated, and it is also ready to let German companies be responsible for Iraq's oil development."
Chang Ruiqing's face was a little unfavorable, so he naturally knew how much oil there was in the Persian Gulf! If the British controlled the Persian Gulf after the war, they would almost have caught up with half of the US imperialist! If the situation in India could be straightened out and turned into a production workshop of the British Empire, coupled with the land and resources in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other places, the possibility of a second spring rejuvenation is not unavailable!
However, the Germans now have no idea about the Middle East and are very satisfied with the ability to obtain the oil extraction rights in Iraq, so Rattenau spoke for the UK with a smile: "Mr. Prime Minister, the Middle East was dominated by Britain after World War I. We should respect the rights of the British Empire there, just like respecting China's rights in East Asia and Southeast Asia."
"Mr. Aiden, what do you think?" Chang Ruiqing looked at the British Foreign Minister. Aiden clicked a cigar and sucked two mouths and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, in addition to India and the Middle East, our British Empire's requirements in Asia can also be managed by the Central Asian region and the West Siberia region with your country. We hope to establish an Eastern Russian Republic in Western Siberia and establish several small countries jointly protected by China and Britain in Central Asia. In addition... we have no requirements for other regions in Asia, and China can deal with it at will!"
Chang Ruiqing's face changed a few times. A plan to divide the Eurasian continent was already in front of him. Although it was proposed by the British Foreign Secretary, it must have been negotiated with Germany. I just don't know whether Hitler is planning to support Britain on the Asian issue. So Chang Ruiqing looked at Rattenau with inquiry.
The German Foreign Minister shrugged and smiled, "I think the Soviet Union's spoil is huge enough to allow our three countries to have enough living space in the next few hundred years, right?" He glanced at Chang Ruiqing and said, "As for the issue of how to distribute spoils, the opinion of our Prime Minister Mr. Hitler is that the harvest should be equal to the efforts, and if you want to get more, you should pay more! Does the Prime Minister agree with this view?"
Chang Ruiqing nodded. This was indeed a fairer method. In this world war, it was impossible to get something for nothing. So he looked at Aiden and said, "I don't know how the British Empire is preparing to recover the Middle East and India? Do we need help from our country?"
Aiden smiled slightly and nodded, "This is another issue I want to discuss with the Prime Minister when I come to China. But before that, I want to understand how China plans to defeat Japan, the culprit who undermines the harmony and stability of the Pacific? Do you need the help of the British Empire?"
Chang Ruiqing knew that Aiden wanted to play the "Japanese issue" as a card. Everyone knew that China did not want the United States to extend its hands to the Western Pacific, so it provided a lot of help to Japan to allow this country to act as cannon fodder to fight against the United States.
The factor that determines how powerful this cannon fodder can exert is not only China, but the British Empire also has a certain say in this regard! If Britain and the United States work together, it is really a question of how long Japan can support it. If Britain adopts a "passive anti-Japanese" policy, Japan can easily seize most of the Philippines and Dutch East India. With the resources there to support it, Soviet Japan can cause some trouble for American imperialism.
However, isn’t it in line with the interests of the British Empire to let the United States and Japan consume each other? He actually wants China to pay something for it. This Aiden’s negotiation skills are not average! (To be continued...)
