Five hundred and ninetieth chapters European situation
The Soviet Union suddenly used troops against Europe. Although the slogan was to seek revenge on the Germans, Ouyang Yun, Truman, and Churchill all knew the true intentions of the Soviet Russians. The Soviet Russians just wanted to use this war. , just to recover the losses suffered in World War II from the Germans. To put it simply, the Soviet Russians felt that Germany was weak and could be bullied, so Stalin waved his fist unceremoniously. Europe was still far away from China. It's a bit far away. Although due to the United Nations, China will do its best to provide support to its two allies, France and Germany. However, it is unrealistic to directly send troops. Therefore, China's top military and political leaders are still in the mood to hold meetings behind closed doors. They are actually watching with cold eyes. attitude.
Compared with the attitude of Chinese onlookers, the United States and the United Kingdom, which seemed to have no connection with this matter, immediately became red-eyed.
"Shameless." These were the four words that Truman blurted out after receiving the relevant report.
The butterfly effect has a huge impact, especially on matters related to Germany and the United States. At that time and space, the United States joined the Pacific Theater and the European Theater in the middle of World War II. With its strong military industrial strength and mobilization capabilities, it became a decisive force. A force that plunged Germany and Japan into a situation of no return.
In this time and space, both Germany and Japan have shown far more powerful military strength than that time and space. Moreover, because of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Fleet was almost completely destroyed. As a result, the Americans not only lost the ability to dominate the Pacific battlefield capabilities, it even had to adopt clumsy tactics in the direction of Europe and even completely gave up intervening in the European war.
During World War II in this time and space, the United States never formally entered Europe and had a land intersection with Germany. However, this does not mean that the Americans were willing to sit back and watch Germany escape the punishment of provoking World War II. Originally, under Truman In their minds, Germany is the target of attack only after China. The Americans would set this up. On the one hand, it is because they were tricked by Koizumi Toshiichiro and got caught in the trap (50,000 prisoners of war in the Australian war); on the other hand, On the other hand, when it comes to Germany and China, the latter has just emerged and has a weak foundation, while the latter has been rising in the West for many years and has a deep foundation. It seems that the emerging China is more fragile and easier to swallow.
In Truman's mind, he already had a rough idea of what to do with Germany. After completely defeating China, the United States would launch a war against Germany as the leader of NATO, and would definitely be able to cut off the biggest piece of fat meat from Germany. .
Yes, even though Germany in the pre-Hitler era still maintained an army of unprecedented scale, it was no different from a fat cow in Truman's mind. However, when the Soviets suddenly launched an attack, his wish was shattered. abacus.
Truman did not believe that today's Germany has the ability to resist Soviet aggression. So, once Germany is defeated, the heavy industrial equipment and talents that should belong to the United States will naturally be snatched away by the Soviets. If such a thing really happens, what will happen to the United States? What is the point of using troops in the Pacific region? It can completely defeat China. But does a rising red Soviet Russia conform to the global interests of the United States? The answer is of course no.
Americans have long had ill intentions towards Germany, so they instinctively cannot sit back and watch the Soviet Russians poaching. In Churchill's eyes, the Soviet Russians sending troops to Europe at this time are simply challenging Britain's hegemony and trying to undermine it. Britain's move to unify Europe.
"Soviet Russia is messing with the situation again, this stupid bear. Don't they know that doing this will give the Chinese a breathing space?" Churchill didn't know the details of the Far East War, so he instinctively thought, The Soviet Red Army's retreat in the Far East was unbelievable. Stalin was stupid.
The positions of the United States and Britain towards China are basically the same in general. They both want to take advantage of China's unstable foundation to strangle it in the cradle. However, in terms of details, the two sides are very different. For the United States, they are targeting China just doesn’t want to see a powerful China rising in the east of the world; and for Britain, because of the issues between India and Myanmar, Malaysia and Singapore, China has become Britain’s feud. If Britain still wants to ensure its special status in Asia , then China must be completely defeated. Soviet Russia has invested heavily in Europe, and it is naturally impossible to maintain pressure on China in the Far East. That means that China can maintain strong military strength in the south, and this will inevitably increase the pressure on the United States, Japan, and Britain. Pressure from the Three Kingdoms.
Not only that, Soviet Russia has invested heavily in Europe, which will inevitably have a significant impact on the current situation in Europe. What made Churchill feel uncomfortable was that Soviet Russia entered the European continent as an invader, and how should Britain respond? , Britain formed the European Allied Forces in the name of anti-China and strived to become the de facto leader in Europe. This matter had been repeated due to the alliance between Germany and France and the wooing of other European countries. Now the Soviets were involved again. Churchill suddenly discovered that Britain In the current European political situation, it is completely passive.
Since the Soviet Red Army entered Ukraine and Belarus, the British government has received diplomatic requests from many European countries. They hope that Britain can step forward to mediate to help their country escape the fate of being used by Soviet Russia or even being occupied. Churchill At this time, we are troubled by the issue of India's independence. Naturally, we don't want to be dragged into the muddy waters of Soviet Russia's eastward invasion. However, this has given Germany and France an advantage, allowing them to become the temporary "European leaders" in fact. .
There is a reason why European countries regard Soviet Russia as a scourge, because the Soviet Red Army flies a red flag and kills capitalists wherever they go.
When the European continent was in turmoil, Guangzhou and Ouyang Yun received a military delegation of the German Wehrmacht headed by Falkenhausen.
Several years have passed since the last secret visit to China, and most of the countries in Europe are now mired in war and economic quagmire. Therefore, when we see that the scale has grown again, the level of prosperity is even greater than before. While in Guangzhou, Falkenhausen and his friends were all touched by the scenes and were filled with emotions.
"Guangzhou has become more prosperous. When I think about what I saw and heard when I first arrived in China, I can't imagine that this is the same country." The coalition government was responsible for receiving Li Tieshu. During the few days waiting for Ouyang Yun to receive him, Li Tieshu took the Germans to every corner of Guangzhou, and after witnessing with his own eyes the general prosperity of Guangzhou and the general peace and contentment of the Chinese people, Falkenhausen expressed the above emotion,
