In fact, at this stage of the war, Finland's defeat was inevitable, and even the Finns themselves knew it well.

They lacked the planes, tanks, artillery, ammunition, food, medicine and other materials needed for the war.

Even if these are not mentioned, the loss of troops is beyond the reach of Finland, and their only 300,000 reserves have been thrown into the war.

The war had only been fought for more than two months, and Finland, as a small country, was already on the verge of collapse.

By the time of March, Finland was facing a desperate situation of running out of troops, ammunition and food, and no hope for foreign aid.

However, the Soviet Union was also uncomfortable, and the miscalculation of the war cost them dearly.

In particular, the external image and military quality of the Soviet army have completely exposed a series of problems caused by the Great Purge.

The Japanese were correct in their conjecture that the overall combat capability of the Soviet army ceased to retain its aggressiveness due to the departure of a large number of experienced middle and lower-ranking officers.

This made the Soviet side very worried about whether the Germans would tear up the non-aggression pact and start a new war with the Soviet Union.

At this time, the limited aid provided by Britain and France to Finland had just arrived.

With more than 500 aircraft, more than 1,000 tanks and various supplies, it looks like Finland will be able to keep the fight going.

But the reality was cruel, and the Finnish army, which had no soldiers to replenish its losses, was no longer able to fight.

Now, their only hope was reinforcements from the Allies.

Britain and France planned to send a regular army with a total number of about 140,000 to land in northern Norway and enter Suland to join the war against the Soviet Union.

But Sweden and Norway were being threatened by the dwarfs, who declared that they would attack the Allies as soon as they agreed to the entry of the two countries.

............

"It looks like the war is coming to an end, and Sweden and Norway, under threat from Germany, will not allow the Anglo-French forces to pass,

In fact, their true purpose remains to be examined, and according to the strategy of the two countries, I don't think they will easily start a war. ”

In the think tank, members of a think tank are having a discussion about the war in Europe.

In the process of discussion, more inspiration will be stimulated, and perhaps someone's inconsequential words or a word may be beneficial from it.

The information analysts in the think tank will take this key word out of it and give it to the brain to decide what to do.

"You're right, Finland is coming to an end... Norway and Sweden, under pressure from the Germans, would not let the British and French pass,

Moreover, their purpose has yet to be proven, and it seems to me that their target is more of an important mining area in the north. ”

In my hand I am holding a document containing a long-term assessment and analysis of the war, including the situation and options in the countries of Eastern and Western Europe.

At present, Germany is in full swing, but Britain and France are not ready for a formal war, both psychologically and militarily.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, seized the opportunity to expand its superiority and resolutely made full preparations for a future war.

In the middle of the meeting, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the debate stopped, and everyone turned their eyes to the crimson door.

At this time, if it is not something important, no one will come and disturb it.

"Ben, here's the latest news that Finland is about to start peace talks with the Soviet Union. The man held a telegram in his hand and said in a heavy tone.

"Finland is going to surrender ... Get in touch with the Soviet Union as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the industry. In the New York office, Li Zitao, who received the news at the same time, said.

and McDonald's have a large industry in Finland, including two iron mines, a copper mine and two refineries, and about 300 fast food restaurants.

The matter of getting in touch with the Soviets was to be left to Lawrence.

It was he who first reached a business cooperation with the Soviets, and he was always in charge of the business of Golden Arches in the Soviet Union.

Not to mention, he also holds a global position in the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce.

Lawrence's recent accomplishments have kept him on the phone, and he can't wait to claim that this successful investment is his credit.

This was discussed by the two before, Lawrence was responsible for threading the needle, and Li Zitao was responsible for specific negotiations and persuasion of the other party.

He was paid 1.5 percent of the shares, and the contract was kept in a safe in his office.

At present, it is still a secret to the outside world, and they need to be fully prepared before detonating the world.

According to the stability plan, the press conference will be held on January 11.

On this day, the Santa Barbara Skunk International Experimental Center was in full swing.

"I heard that there is new news about that skunk, is it a weapon again?"

"They're arms dealers, what do they sell if they don't sell weapons, pie?"

"Hey, guys, you probably didn't know it yet, but this time it's not Skunk news, it's that. ”

A reporter with the Los Angeles Tribune on his chest points to a brand new building.

On the bright white door frame, its name is affixed to the Intel Center for Advanced Experiments.

"Aren't they making machines like punches, calculations, and cards?" has done well in the past two years, especially after getting orders from the government.

"What's going to happen... Another boring trick to steal cards from pillar to pillar?" someone said disappointedly.

What kind of news can a company that makes punches, computing and card machines bring to the table?

"Look... It's Lawrence!" There was also a commotion at the scene.

Although they had guessed before they came that this press conference was of a high standard, they did not expect that the global chief of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce would attend it in person.

"There must be something to be done this time, let's see who is faster?" a reporter looked defiantly at the phone diagonally behind him.

There are a total of 5 telephones there, and whoever can grab it first will get the word out first, and the others will have to go outside to find the public phone.

"Even the laboratories of the country and the academy are not as many as him, how do you say he did it?" Seeing that Lawrence had not yet announced the start after entering the room, everyone began to talk about it again.

There are countless versions of the legendary story about Li Zitao among the folk, some good and some bad.

Some people say that he represents the diligence, solidity, and progress of the Chinese, and he also brings some luck.

Others say that he plundered the wealth that should have belonged to the white man, and that he should be hanged on the cross.

He didn't care about any of this, and said it unceremoniously, even if they discussed the end of the world, it wouldn't affect him at all.

"Quietly, please be quiet. On the stage, with thin-edged eyes and a big-bellied public relations to maintain order on the spot, the press conference is about to begin.
