Hearing that Japan was going to attack the United States, Chen Dao was taken aback, and was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses.

"The Führer will not agree, what do we have to gain by going to war with the United States? Nothing is gained. The most important thing for us now is to consolidate the resources of the occupied territories and then find the right excuse and time to attack Russia. What is the attitude of the Führer? ”

"The Führer's attitude is similar to yours, and he also thinks that there is no point in going to war with the United States and does not want to get involved in a war against the United States."

"Now that the Führer has made up his mind, what are we going to discuss at our meeting today?" Chen Dao asked puzzled.

"The Führer believes that Japan is not a country that we can control, and even if we oppose it, it is possible for them to act on their own. What we would like to discuss at this meeting is what kind of attitude we will take to deal with the future international situation if Japan acts on its own. ”

Goering said.

"I see." Chen Dao said.

Fifteen minutes later, in the conference room of the Chancellery, Chen Dao saw Deputy Führer Hess, Ribbentrop, Himmler, Goebbels, and Keitel.

Hitler belatedly arrived with his hands behind his back.

After Hitler sat down, Chen Dao aimed at Hitler's left hand on the table, but unfortunately his left hand was pressed by his right hand, and the magnitude of the shaking could not be seen, and it was impossible to judge whether Hitler's condition had worsened.

Hitler swept through the room, saw that everyone had arrived, and announced the beginning of the meeting.

"The theme of today's meeting is that our Japanese allies want to start a war against the United States, so they came to ask for our opinion, and they want to know whether Germany will enter the war after the war starts. My attitude is not to go to war. But if Japan declares war on the United States alone, what attitude should we use to deal with relations with Japan and the United States? Strict neutrality? Or is it secretly helping a certain party? ”

Chen Dao saw that the people in the congregation were talking about each other. There was a cacophony in the conference room.

Marshal Keitel was the first to ask: "Don't the Japanese have a strategic concept?" Their war with Britain was not over. Now they want to challenge the United States. Do the Japanese think they have the strength to challenge the two continental powers? Or do you think we're going to go to war? I wonder what the reason is. ”

Hitler turned his head to look at Ribbentrop, who first saluted Hitler with a bow of his head and then said, "I think there are two reasons. First, the United States still adhered to the trade embargo against Japan, used Lend-Lease to aid Britain, and personally sent naval warships to escort British convoys in the Pacific. We can think of it this way that the United States is already in a semi-war state, or that it is forcing Japan to declare war. The Japanese government could not stand the repeated provocations of the US government. It was decided that it was necessary to make a strong counterattack, so it was decided to declare war on the United States, so that it could take control of the war. ”

Chen Dao put down the glass of water in his hand and interrupted Ribbentrop's words.

"In this case, the Japanese government should give priority to dealing with Britain to avoid being caught between the two major powers. Not long ago, however, the Führer wrote letters to the British and Japanese governments in the hope of mediating the war between the two countries. It is a pity that they all rejected the Führer's kindness. The British lost a large number of colonies in Southeast Asia and wanted to regain them. We can understand that they rejected the Führer's kindness. But weren't the Japanese satisfied with occupying almost all of Southeast Asia? Aren't they afraid of bursting their stomachs? ”

Chen Dao's attitude was very blunt, but Ribbentrop was not disgusted at all. He didn't want to anger the young brother-in-law in front of him, who was hot in front of the Führer.

What's more, according to the gossip circulating among German high society, His Excellency the brother-in-law is likely to have a further intimacy with the Führer.

Ribbentrop loosened the tie around his neck to make his breathing easier, and then said: "I don't know what the Japanese military thinks, but I know why the Japanese dare to take risks." ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on his face, Ribbentrop shared this feeling of being in the spotlight, and said smugly: "The Japanese dare to take risks because they have strong supporters behind them. The Japanese Foreign Minister, Mr. Yoyo Matsuoka, who had flown from Moscow to Berlin, was accompanied by the Russian Foreign Minister, Mr. Molotov, and they brought us the common good news that Stalin had agreed to the conditions we had put forward at the Quartet talks in May, and that Russia and Japan had also reached an understanding on the Sakhalin issue, and that Russia had agreed to join the Axis if we had no other objections. ”

Hallucination, this must be an illusion!

Chen Dao stretched out his hand and pinched the root of his thigh, it hurt, it really hurt, indicating that he did not have auditory hallucinations.

Chen Dao looked up at Goering, who sensed his gaze and shook his head at him, indicating that he did not know the news that was enough to shake the earth.

Hitler's left hand was pressed down and his right hand was pressed up on the table, taking in the expressions of the crowd that were either stunned, dumbfounded, or incredulous.

Ribbentrop glanced at each other in tacit understanding, and the two of them smiled knowingly one after another, as if they were very satisfied with the shocking effect of the news.

Chen Dao happened to see Lao Xi and Ribbentrop looking at each other with affection, as well as the ambiguous and slightly xiào.

These two must have discussed the jokes of others, which is really low-level fun.

Chen Dao shook his elbow and touched Goering lightly, then leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, his eyes half-closed, and struggled to think about what to do.

Seeing this, Goering immediately lit a cigar and smoked a cigarette.

Chen Dao and Goering pretended to be deaf and dumb, and gave up the limelight to others to a great extent.

Himmler was the first to return to normal.

Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Himmler asked Hitler: "I am against Russia's entry into the Axis powers. It is our established national policy to attack Russia and open up living space in Russia, and all the war preparations we are currently making are for the sake of Russia. If Russia joins the Axis and we declare war on Russia, both internationally and domestically, we will see us as a breach of contract and a betrayal of our allies. This would make us very vulnerable in future wars, and in any case I was opposed to Russia joining the Axis powers. ”

Himmler finished speaking impassionedly, but when he turned his head, he saw Chen Dao and Goering, who were deaf and dumb, and his heart immediately chuckled.

Oops. Looking at their posture, are you wrong? Himmler was immediately entangled.

Keitel was a well-known echo worm around Hitler. He has always prided himself to know Hitler's mind best. He glared at Himmler fiercely.

It is really unreasonable that this amateur military strategist, who was born as a chicken farmer, should take a stand ahead of him.

"The Russians are very weak in navy, and our war with the United States is mainly naval warfare, and they can't help at all. The Japanese made a low-level mistake if they thought that the addition of the Russians would be able to defeat the Americans more effectively. In short, I don't think there is any value for Russia joining our alliance, the status of allies will only tie us down in future wars, and I am against having them join. ”

To Himmler and Keitel's answers, Hitler simply nodded expressionlessly. Then he glanced at the deaf and dumb duo, and seeing that the duo still didn't mean to speak, he couldn't help but ask, "Who else wants to express their opinions?" ”

Seeing Hitler's question, Hess hurriedly opened his mouth to express his attitude, the same attitude as Himmler and Keitel, opposing the Soviet Union's entry into the Axis powers.

Goebbels saw that Hitler's gaze turned to him, and saw that he could not escape, so he had to lead the trouble.

Goebbels pretended to be modest and said: "I don't understand military affairs, I'm a layman, and I want to hear the advice of Field Marshal Goering and General Rosen." ”

See Goebbels by naming himself. Chen Dao and Goering had no choice but to remove the mode of pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Goering first flicked the ashes in the ashtray, but saw that Chen Dao had not given him a hint. He casually struck a Tai Chi shot: "The Russians want to join our alliance, this is a diplomatic matter, let's listen to Minister Ribbentrop's advice first." ”

Chen Dao followed and said, "I would also like to hear the advice of Minister Ribbentrop. ”

Seeing the duo's move, Himmler hurriedly stopped the entanglement and stood on the duo's side with a clear banner.

"I would also like to hear the advice of diplomatic experts."

In the face of the questioning of the three, Ribbentrop did not be timid, but raised his chin and said with some sarcastic expression: "From a diplomatic and political point of view, I think that contrary to everyone, I think we should accept Russia into our alliance. I would like to ask you a question, from January to May of this year, we actively sought Russia to join the Axis powers. Only now did the Russians finally agree to join the Axis powers, and we chose to refuse. So the question is, how will the Russians feel after being rejected by us? ”

Himmler subconsciously opened his mouth, but when he saw Chen Dao and Goering silently, he had to swallow the words that rushed to his mouth back to his stomach, and made an unfathomable look with a straight face.

Keitel didn't have so many scruples, and said directly: "The Russians will definitely be angry and think that we have played a trick, but so what? With their strength, they are completely unable to pose a threat to us, except to hide in the Kremlin and insult us. ”

Chen Daohao and Goering borrowed the fire to light a cigarette, and then Hòu sat back and watched Keitel and Ribbentrop fight.

"Mr. Marshal, things are not as simple as you think. With the strong German ** team as the backing, I certainly don't worry about the retaliation of the Russians. My fear is that that would expose our intentions and undermine Japan's friendship with us. Let's not forget that it was Japan that first offered to invite Russia to join the Axis powers. If we refuse Russia's accession, the agreement between Japan and Russia on Sakhalin will certainly be null and void, and the two countries will resume conflict over Sakhalin, and Japan will certainly resent us at that time. ”

"So what, will the Japanese run to Europe to take revenge on us?" Keitel, believing that he had captured Hitler's mind, continued to refute Ribbentrop.

Ribbentrop looked at Keitel with contempt and accused him of looking at things from a military point of view, in a simplistic and crude manner.

Keitel also retorted without showing weakness, saying that Ribbentrop was as cowardly as a mouse. The two fought for several rounds of verbal fighting, successfully detonating Hitler's impatience.

"Quiet, quiet." Hitler shouted.

Ribbentrop and Keitel first said in unison: "Yes, my Führer." Then they glared at each other.

"Herman, what's your suggestion?"

Goering had already received a hint from Chen Dao at this time, and said confidently: "I agree with Minister Ribbentrop's suggestion. ”

Chen Dao followed up and said: "I also think that Minister Ribbentrop's suggestion is reasonable, we invited Russia to join the Axis in the first place, originally for the purpose of strategic deception, in this case, why don't we carry out this deception to the end?" ”

"Do you think Stalin will let his guard against us because of this?" Hitler asked.

"It doesn't matter if Stalin believes it or not, as long as the Americans and the British believe that Russia is on our side." Chen Dao said.

Himmler's gaze turned around the faces of Ribbentrop, Chen Dao, and Goering after the increase in the lenses of his glasses, and then he gritted his teeth and said preemptively: "After listening to the explanations of Minister Ribbentrop and General Rosen, I think that it is more in the interests of Germany to admit Russia into the Axis powers, and I retract what I said before. ”

Goebbels first gave Himmler a middle finger in his heart, and then said with a smile: "I also think that what Minister Ribbentrop and General Rosen said has a point. ”

Not far behind, Hess switched sides and said self-deprecatingly: "I am not good at diplomacy, and I am not as good as Minister Ribbentrop who can see the essence of the problem at a glance, and I also agree to admit Russia into the Axis powers." ”

Hitler looked at the smug Ribbentrop, and then at the embarrassed Keitel, and said in a deep voice: "I already know what to do, and the discussion of Russia's accession to the Axis powers ends here." Let's talk about what attitude we should take if Japan declares war on the United States. ”

"My attitude is the same as that of the Führer, that Germany must remain neutral and not participate in the war between the two countries." Keitel said.

"I also think that neutrality should be maintained, but Japan should be supported in secret." Ribbentrop did not oppose for the sake of opposition, and sensibly sided with Keitel on the same front.

Himmler pretended not to see Hitler's gaze and sat quietly waiting for Chen Dao and Goering's advice.

Goebbels and Hess had similar thoughts to Himmler.

"I think that the war between Japan and the United States will be a war that will affect the world pattern, and if we reject Japan and refuse to declare war on the United States, then the war between Japan and the United States will take place outside of our control, and at that time, no matter which attitude we take, we will be very dòng. Can we find a way to make the war between Japan and the United States happen under our control? ”

"What's your solution?" Hitler leaned forward and asked expectantly.

"I only have an immature idea, it will take time to perfect, and I need the help of the Russians, so we still let Russia join the Axis. By the time we've finished welcoming the new members, my plan should be complete. Chen Dao said.

"Heinz, you've never let me down, I'll wait to see what you plan." Hitler said.

On the morning of October 5, 1941, a news story that slowed the Earth's rotation by half was born, and then spread around the world at the speed of light.

The Soviet Union declared its entry into the Axis bloc. (To be continued......)
