It wasn't until 3 a.m. that the talks came to an end, but that didn't mean the end of the talks, only because they had official business in the morning, so they took a break and would continue the talks in the afternoon.

According to the European revival plan that Zhou Nan came up with, they had less than one-fifth of the problems in the three hours today.

Zhou Nan sent them out of the brightly lit villa, and when he left, he couldn't help but stop Eisenhower, who was about to get into the car. "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff."

Eisenhower closed the open door again and walked back in front of Zhou Nan. "Mr. Zhou, what can I do?"

Zhou Nan shook his head and said: "I don't have any personal needs, I just want to say that the strategy of Europe focusing on Asia and giving priority to Asia is very correct, and I sincerely admire you and General Marshall's contribution in World War II." ”

His face was originally gentle, and when he wasn't smiling, he seemed to be laughing, and when he laughed, he was even more peaceful. "I also have a lot of admiration for you being so young, but having such a macro vision and analytical skills. The world is so diverse that it's hard for anyone to see as clearly as you see, and you're still enviably young. ”

"That's why I want to contribute to world peace. I'm looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow afternoon. ”

"No, it should be this afternoon." He smiled and said: "I am also looking forward to the next meeting, I still have a lot of questions I want to consult with you about the details of the unified military system in Europe and the joint response to the Soviet threat." ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said: "Regarding the contradictions between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, I hope you can pay attention to it, and communism is not monolithic. ”

He paused for a moment, looked into Zhou Nan's eyes and asked, "What do you know?" ”

"The contradictions of the Trieste question, the Greek question, the Balkan and Bulgarian alliance questions, the economic planning of Yugoslavia, and the manipulation of Yugoslavia by the Soviet Union led to a serious disagreement between Tito and the Iron Man. Although these contradictions have not yet erupted, I believe that it is in the greater interest of the United States to intervene earlier. ”

Eisenhower pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want to indirectly prove to me through this incident that the Soviet Union and the Red Party are not invulnerable to each other?" ”

There is really no mediocre person who is engaged in politics, and Zhou Nan's purpose was immediately seen through by him. But Zhou Nan didn't worry about this problem, because he was not afraid of being seen through.

He sighed softly and said, "After all, it is my motherland, and I don't want to see the United States and my motherland fall into war because of the position." ”

He did not ask why Zhou Nan said that there would be a war between the two countries, but asked: "You just believe that the Red Party can win?" ”

Zhou Nan looked at Marshall who came over and said with a smile: "General Marshall has the most say on this issue." ”

The villa was completely closed here, and in order to prove to themselves that there was no private collusion in front of others, their voices did not lower their pitch, and most of the people who had not left heard their words.

Marshall said with a smile: "Maybe the situation in the future will really go to the step that the United States does not want to see......

It is true that no one knows the situation there better than Marshall, after all, where he once mediated the civil war, although without success.

He gave a serious account of the situation and asked, "Jonas, if the situation is really as you judge, what do you think the United States should do?" ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said: "I think it's better to use Yugoslavia as an experiment first, although everyone's position is different, but the ultimate goal of the emergence of each system is to improve the basic conditions of people's lives, which is the same goal of all politics." ”

Marshall stretched out his hand and smiled, "I'm looking forward to the afternoon when we can continue to talk about this topic, but it's too late." ”

Zhou Nan shook his hand heavily and said, "I'm looking forward to it too." ”

He shook Eisenhower's hand again, watched them get into the car, and then returned to the house.

In the room, Etinny and Stolko were still busy. Under Stolko's arrangement, everyone rearranged the minutes of the meeting with Zhou Nan's plan, and also recorded the opinions of other people, corresponding to Zhou Nan's manuscript one by one.

Except for a few major leaders, the people attending the meeting today are of a very high level, and several of them are famous figures in history.

For example, William Clayton, a famous businessman who served as assistant secretary of state, and George Kennan, a famous diplomat and founder of the containment policy. The two of them were also the specific planners of the Marshall Plan in the original history, and they had very outstanding abilities.

Then there is the famous politician Paul Hoffman, a German-born politician with the same surname as Yannick and a concrete executor of the Marshall Plan, who became the leader of the European Economic Cooperation Organization after the United States passed the aid bill.

These three are also the ones that Zhou Nan remembers more deeply, and they all play a very important role in this plan. In fact, to be able to participate in this project at this stage is not a simple person at all.

It's just that Europeans and Americans are relatively indifferent to the concept of the country, and they are more willing to distinguish a person from beliefs and habits. Like Eisenhower, he was a descendant of Germans, but he was not soft on the Germans.

If this is in Asia, I am afraid that I will be scolded for forgetting my roots and traitors again.

"Jonas, why do you insist on the will of the Americans when it comes to distribution rights, and will this lead to dissatisfaction among the European countries?"

"Why are you dissatisfied?" Zhou Nan said disappreciatively: "I'm here to let everyone see the reality clearly, no matter how you fight, in the end, you still have to ask the Americans to come up with real money." Europe lacks everything, but the key is how much the US Congress can approve. Okay, it's not early today, let's rest early, get up late tomorrow, as long as you don't miss lunch. ”

Zhou Nan took the lead and walked upstairs, if he didn't go back to the room, Stolko and they probably wouldn't disperse.

In front of everyone, Zhou Nan is always full of great love, and his humanitarianism fully reflects this. But in fact, Zhou Nan didn't have much mercy for the Europeans, this was completely a bunch of self-inflicted guys.

The truly pitiful people are those who have been invaded and exploited by them in the past and even in the future, and those are the real pitiful.

He now has to sit in the position of the Europeans only for his own purposes. Inside, he didn't really care how most Europeans were doing.

He is different from Westerners, he prefers to divide camps by blood and ethnicity. With the integration of thousands of years of civilization, the more we study it deeply, the more we can discover the greatness of Chinese civilization, which is not at all something that people of other nationalities can truly understand.

When I returned to my room, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. After practicing in the room for half an hour, Zhou Nan took a shower and left the room.

Everyone else was still sleeping, and Flegg was the only one in the empty living room. Seeing Zhou Nan, he asked, "Jonas, do you need today's newspaper?" ”

"Let's wait for Orissa to read it to me when she gets up, I can only listen to English now, and I can't read it. Any idea where we are now? ”

"We're located between Andrews Air Force Base and Washington, D.C., and while it's still within the boundaries of Maryland, it's only five kilometers from Capitol Hill."

Popler and Flegg are guards, and it is a must to know the surroundings every time you go to a new place. After listening to his introduction, Zhou Nan still had no concept in his heart, he had never been to Washington, nor had he been in another life, but he knew that it was located in the southeast suburbs of Washington.

Zhou Nan did it himself, boiled a pot of boiling water, made himself a cup of coffee, and began to prepare for the conversation with Marshall in the afternoon.

In the afternoon of the same day, the contents of the talks moved forward little by little, and the two sides again fell into a difficult stage of mutual persuasion on the policy toward Germany.

Forty-six years ago, the Allies' policy towards Germany was brutal plunder, with the posture of transporting all valuable German goods back to their own country.

But soon, people of insight realized that this would only make Germany poorer and Europe's economy deeper into the abyss.

At the beginning of 46, the agreement on the level of industrialization was signed. The plan was to maintain the industrial level of Germany at about 50 percent of its pre-World War II level by dismantling more than 1,500 factories.

However, Germany has long been an industrial power and economic center in Europe, so weakening Germany excessively will inevitably lead to the blockage of the economic recovery of the whole of Europe, and the occupation authorities in Germany have to greatly increase their occupation costs to solve the contradiction of Germany's growing demand and material shortage.

When the benefits of plunder were less than the costs of occupation, several of the occupying countries, with the exception of France, had to begin to revise the agreement on the level of industrialization.

They helped and demolished at the same time, and this work lasted for five years. In other words, at the stage of the European revival plan, many industrial facilities in Germany were still in the process of being demolished.

Of course, this was followed by an orderly demolition, with the aim of controlling the German economy.

At present, Germany's mineral resources Saarland and Silesia were no longer under German control, and the Allies destroyed a large number of factories to limit German industrial output. This year, even Germany's industrial heartland, the Ruhr, is in danger of being completely demolished.

Zhou Nan carefully analyzed the damage of this demolition to the recovery of the European economy, and if we want the European economy to make its own blood and operate well, we must not ignore the problem of Germany.

Only by making the German economy work can they be able to return the reparations of World War II, otherwise, Germany can only wait for the assistance of the United States, and the reparations are far away.

The more important problem was that the weakening of Germany doubled the pressure on the Allies to deal with the Soviet Union, because everything needed to be shipped from abroad, which also greatly increased the cost.

In the end, this issue was still limited to the US side, but it is unknown how to operate it and whether it will listen to Zhou Nan.
