"Wait, what does the EU mean? Similar to the League of Nations? And what's so special about this permanent member? ”

The two looked a little strange: "To be honest, the current description of the EU is not a systematic and complete and effective legal or political document, but only an elaboration of Hitler's political philosophy, including political, economic, defense, cultural and other integration, that is, European countries should form a unified and led whole, and EU countries will not resort to war if they have disputes in the future, but will be resolved through coordination." In addition www.biquge.info if there is an attack on any country in Europe (excluding colonies and subject countries), it will be regarded as a collective attack on Europe and enjoy the right of collective self-defense. ”

The EU was discussed in the negotiations between Edward VIII and Hoffmann, and the latter proposed that the EU organization was fundamentally different from the League of Nations - the League of Nations was a loose club of states and did not have coercive power, while the EU was a close-knit political entity led by Germany, and more importantly, the operation of EU power was not one country, one vote.

In Hoffmann's eyes, the principle of one country, one vote, unanimous adoption is simply the poison of the operation of the EU system in later generations, which greatly exacerbates the centrifugal tendency. In its vision, the supreme power of the EU is vested in the European Parliament, and it is a supra-sovereign political organization that overrides the sovereignty of European countries.

The political entity is designed to operate on a joint-stock basis, with Germany being the out-and-out majority shareholder and chairman, with a monopoly of 35% of the voting rights in the European Parliament, a permanent presidency and a veto power; Italy, France, Britain and Russia (Mensheviks) are permanent members of the Security Council, the second tier in Europe, with 33% of the voting rights.

The European Administrative Council (EAAC) is the day-to-day office and is staffed by the four permanent members of the Council who take turns to serve as Secretary-General (one president and three deputies), with the head of state of Germany also serving as the head of the European Union.

For example, the British, who has the longest constitutional tradition and will be the President of the European Parliament (unicameral parliament); The French became the president of the European Central Bank, the Italians became the chairmen of the four councils of European culture, sports, religion and trusteeship (because all of Africa are colonies, so the trusteeship council is not small, of course, Hoffman knows that the colonies will eventually become independent, this is the trend), and the Russians are the chairmen of the European Agriculture and Energy Council; Germany controls the three most important professional bodies: the European Court of Justice, the European Security Council and the European Council for Economic and Social Development.

In the OSCE, Germany will concurrently serve as the commander of the European Rapid Reaction Force and have the only nuclear force, and it was originally said in the previous negotiations with Edward VIII that the British would be the commander of the European Combined Fleet, but now the Royal Navy has been wiped out, and then let the British take the position, not to mention that the Italians are not convinced, I am afraid that the French will not be convinced.

Medium-sized countries such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, Greece, Belarus, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Finland belong to the third echelon, with a total of 20% of the voting rights, and can be a deputy in some professional councils; The rest are small countries, with a total of 12% of the voting rights, such as the three Baltic states, Croatia, Slovakia, Macedonia, Slovenia, etc., then there is only applause.

In this system, 50 per cent of the votes are approved and implemented throughout the European Union, and if more than one-third of the votes are against (if the four permanent members say no, this is basically the number), then Germany also needs to reconsider the political implications, reconsider and vote in stages. Except for the five major countries, the rest of the countries can apply for whether to withdraw from the EU, but they must agree with more than half of the voting rights (basically don't think about leaving), and the five major countries are not allowed to withdraw, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war on the EU! Since Russia (Mensheviks), Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, the three Baltic countries and other countries actually have a subordinate or supportive relationship with Germany, Germany can safely get 50% of the votes in favor. Italy, France, and Britain had obvious contradictions, and it would be extremely difficult to unite against Germany.

This voting system and quota can be changed with the consent of a two-thirds majority to create conditions for the inclusion of more countries, but it is clear that the voting rights of the five major countries will not be affected or significantly affected.

In this system, Hoffman also dug a hole for Italy: Italy, which ostensibly has its own country, Albania and Serbia, and is also the second-in-command of the Axis, has a higher second-in-command than France and the United Kingdom, but considering France's traditional influence in Belgium and the Netherlands, in fact, France is the second largest invisible shareholder, which is a mutual constraint.

"How many voting rights do small countries like Denmark, Luxembourg have?"

"There will be no Denmark and Luxembourg in the future, they will all merge with Germany."

"And then Poland too?"

"Maybe there will be a little Poland, probably the original Russian Poland before the First World War, and not all of it - part of the territory will be given to neighboring countries, and Little Poland as a whole will be entrusted to Germany for 20 years." "The general conditions are roughly like this, and European integration will certainly affect the power of national governments, but realistically, there are many benefits." For example, the vicious arms race can be reduced, and in the future, a definite proportion of military spending will be determined, ranging from 2% to 3%. Anyway, the bigger the volume, the more money will be paid, which makes some of our parliamentarians who are babbling about budget balance and saving costs not have to worry, and in the future, the army will be deployed throughout Europe, and whoever wants to fight will not be able to do it......"

Attlee added: "On the economic side, there will be no tax barriers, trade discrimination and currency competitive devaluation, and the reduction of tariffs within the EU and the same external situation, such as a single currency, will be good for the economy, and good for an industrial country like the United Kingdom, which depends on the supply of raw materials from other countries and has lost its colonies." Of course, the colonies should also be looked at separately, and it is true that the British Empire lost its colonies, but the colonies of various countries will be reopened to European countries, in other words, we also have access channels. I have the feeling that the British Empire should not think about such a thing as a world hegemon, that is the business of the Germans, but it is still guaranteed to put down the ambition and become a regional power with taste and influence behind closed doors, and the life of the people may be better, of course, it is difficult for politicians to accept this. ”

"If the U.S. wins, we're probably in the same situation as the U.S. butt, at most a little bit better."

George VI nodded: "I understand the conditions, they are definitely worse than the victory of the United States or a few years ago, but they seem to be a little better than the conditions we gave to the Germans back then, and the Germans are sincere this time?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Aiden thought about it and said, "Judging from the relationship between France and Germany in the past two years, I think the Germans are sincere, and the French, even the Belgians and the Dutch, are more satisfied than before; Judging from the actual situation of the Jews in the countries of the East and in the German-occupied areas, Hitler is now much more relaxed in tone than before, and his credibility is better now, or he is very politically mature, as can be seen from the constant propaganda and public opinion offensive against the United States. ”

"Are these conditions conclusive?"

"More than 90% of the conditions are about the same, and I don't think Germany still has a lot of room for concessions, at most some details will be corrected to seek a little benefit for us."

"You let me think about it, and in three days I will reply to you, don't act rashly recently." George VI thought for a while, "You don't want to fight against the prime minister, let alone exacerbate the conflict, Winston is also for this country, everyone must think of a way." ”

At the time of the secret meeting between the three of them, Churchill was listening to Big C's secret report.

"Prime Minister, this is what I got, the complete telegram sent back from Berlin by Black Cat, the content is very informative, I don't think it's a forgery."

Churchill glanced at it curly and nodded: "How many people know?" ”

"Black Cat's cadres in the country, the neutral members of the cabinet must know." Menzies analyzed, "Aiden and Attlee have gone to visit the king this evening, and I think Your Majesty will soon find out. ”

Churchill casually asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

"Me?" Menzies subconsciously rhetorically asked, "Are you asking for my opinion?" ”

"It's okay to talk about it."

"My position does not allow me to express specific opinions, but if I think outside the frame......," Menzies considered for a long time, "this is a cruel condition that we can hardly accept, but it is the most tolerant condition that the Germans can offer, and I cannot guarantee that Hitler will be given such good conditions if positions and situations are reversed." ”

"The Americans persuaded me to resist to the end." Churchill spat out a smoke ring, "Next month, the United States will have 2 aircraft carriers in service, and in another 2 months, our 2 aircraft carriers will also be in service. ”

Menzies nodded: "Logically speaking, this is true, but from the perspective of people's hearts, I'm afraid it may not be." As far as I know, the surviving officers and men of the Royal Navy who returned home were completely mentally broken, and they lost their souls......"

"The Americans also said they would find a way to resume supplies to Britain as soon as possible, and there was a vague hint that they had a powerful new weapon that could be used by the end of the year and could turn the tide of the war then."

"Do you believe it?"

"I ......" Churchill was speechless. The Americans' credibility is not very good now, and they refuse to give even a few Meteor jets, and they can still be expected to give Britain a superweapon that will turn the tide of the war?

"I have my way."

"I know." Menzies said calmly.

"But I don't want to use it yet!"

"I know it too!" Menzies remained unfazed.

"Okay." Churchill was speechless, "Can you carry out my orders?" ”

"As long as you are the Prime Minister of the British Empire, I will carry out the orders that meet the needs of the country." Menzies said neither softly nor hard.

Churchill was embarrassed at this time, because he had clearly sensed that the three army chiefs of Brooke, Portal, and Pound were getting closer and closer, and that they were becoming more and more disobedient, and that it was impossible to remove them, because the other cabinet members did not agree. The only way is to follow the path set by the Americans, resist to the end, and if anyone opposes it, a coup d'état -- Truman made it clear in his telegram that the more than 100,000 American troops stationed in Britain would obey the arrangement and obey Churchill's "orders."

But after seeing the terms of the negotiations with the black cat, Churchill began to hesitate again.
