Hopkins knew that the islanders coveted those colonies, and they were very coveted and could not give them up. He also knows that the island people are making so many harsh demands, but they are just opening their mouths.

However, for the sake of future interests, the United States will definitely not let the island countries get too much and let them get too many benefits, and in that case, it will also be very unfavorable to the United States. The U.S. government does not want the island nation to rise to become another great enemy of the United States after it has finally defeated Germany. Therefore, they had to do everything in their power to prevent the rise of Germany.

"Your Excellency, if we can defeat Germany, then the South Seas can be handed over to your country. However, for other territories, your country should not think about it. Hopkins said.

"Your Excellency, this is very unfair to us. We will devote all our strength to this war, and we will even mobilize more than six million troops. For this, we deserve more benefits! Seishiro Itagaki spoke.

Hopkins knows that the military of the island nation has a lot of influence in the government. If these guys can't be satisfied, then there will be a lot of problems in the next war. Once it affects the final battle and leads to the defeat of the war, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Hopkins thought about it, and he thought that if he could give Australia to the islanders, he would almost be able to satisfy the appetite of the islanders. After all, if the island nation wanted to gain these territories, it had to defeat the Germans. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, the U.S. government may agree that if Germany can be defeated, then the South Seas will be annexed to your country and become your territory. Australia will also be ruled by your country. But India, which was the most important British colony, could not be ceded by the British government. Hopkins said.

The important ministers of the island's cabinet exchanged words and ears, and such a result has already met their psychological expectations. So, it's kind of satisfying them.

"Your Excellency, what about the Middle East? We need a lot of oil! Fumiro Konoe said.

"The oil in the South Seas is enough for the island countries. Your country does not need oil in the Middle East. Besides, I can tell you very clearly that the British government has promised to hand over the Middle East to the United States government after the war. However, I can decide that if your country is really short of oil, then the U.S. government will sell oil to your country at a low price. Even your country's capital can participate in the development of oil in the Middle East. Hopkins said.

Konoe Fumiro nodded, such a result undoubtedly made him very satisfied. If the oil reserves in the South China Sea are amazing, then the island countries will not be short of oil in a short period of time. After all, most of the current oil in the island countries is used for industrial and military consumption, and the number of civilian motor vehicles is very low, so it will not consume much oil. Even if it were to develop in the future, it would be decades later.

"But, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Your country must make sure that you do your best in this war. The U.S. government doesn't want anyone to preserve its strength in the midst of war. Because in that case, it will be all the people who will suffer in the end. If you lose the war, the consequences will be unimaginable! Hopkins reminded with a serious face.

If the people of the island nation dare to play tricks in the war, then the US government will inevitably use this as an excuse to regret it after the war is over. At that time, it will be unlikely that the islanders want to get so many benefits.

"Of course, Your Excellency, we know very well what kind of war we will face next. Germany is our mortal enemy, and we will do our best to defeat Germany. Because, if Germany cannot be defeated, it will definitely be ours who will perish in the end! Fumiro Konoe said.

Hopkins nodded, it would be great if the islanders could do their best to fight this war. With the military strength of the island nation, it was enough to bring a lot of trouble to Germany. This is also the reason why the U.S. government has been conniving at the island nation. Otherwise, they would never have repeatedly supported the islands.

"Your Excellency, my Government has one more request." Fumiro Konoe said.

"What requirements?" Hopkins looked very confident. He had long expected that in addition to the territorial claims, the islanders would definitely have other demands. After all, this is a war that will be desperately fought against the fate of the country!

"In terms of the distribution of war reparations after the war, our government believes that we should receive at least 30 percent or more!" Fumiro Konoe said.

Hopkins couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect the islanders to pay attention to this aspect.

After the last world war, Germany won the war and plundered large amounts of war reparations from the defeated countries. It is precisely because of these war reparations that Germany has been able to achieve rapid development again in the more than 20 years after the war. As a result, other countries have lost hope of competing with Germany, so much so that they have to unite against Germany.

There is no doubt that if Germany can be defeated this time, the victorious country will also slaughter the Germans fiercely and plunder enough war reparations. However, the U.S. government is determined to receive this war reparation. After all, the U.S. government has long been heavily indebted. The support provided to other countries also costs money! They were also counting on the wealth they could plunder from post-war Germany enough to salvage America's collapsing economy.

"Thirty percent is too much for the U.S. government to agree with. After all, the United States also paid a huge price in this war. Hopkins said.

Next, Fumiro Konoe and Hopkins began to bargain, and the two of them were like vendors in the vegetable market. After a fierce exchange, they set the amount at 20 percent. This amount is only just meeting the expectations of the island countries.

Hopkins can be regarded as accepting these conditions proposed by the islanders, which makes the islanders very satisfied. In particular, President Roosevelt approved Hopkins' request to give Nanyang and Australia to the island nation after the war, and to distribute 20 percent of the war reparations.

The United States and the island nations, completely agreed. Both countries hope that they will be able to have a pleasant cooperation in future wars.
