Hopkins looked at the expressions of several island ministers and smiled inwardly. This is the mentality of island people! He knew that it would be absolutely impossible for these island people to refuse this temptation. He had studied these islanders in depth, and he had already guessed their reactions.

Of course, this is just a decoy thrown by the Americans, in order to make the islanders fight with all their might. Only then will they burst out with 100% combat effectiveness. Otherwise, once the people of the island country cheat and cheat, then the United States will have to bear tremendous pressure. With the help of the islanders to drag down part of the strength of the Germans, and at the same time, with the help of the Germans to weaken the islands. This is undoubtedly a ploy of the US government. Now, the U.S. government is already planning for the post-war period. If they can win this war, then the US government will also be able to get its hands on world hegemony. All other countries will become enemies of the U.S. government. Even if it is a current ally, it will become the target of US suppression in the future. Not to mention the island nation, a dog that is already anti-minded. The United States has never relaxed its vigilance against them.

"Your Excellency, the abundant resources of Nanyang and Australia are naturally what we desire. But even if you can defeat the Germans entrenched there, and then extract those resources, it will take a lot of time. Therefore, before that, the United States must not have any problems with the supply of war materials to us. Otherwise, it will be impossible for us to defeat the Germans! "Fumiro Konoe is not a fool either, and he is not so easy to be fooled.

"Of course. Once the island nation enters the war, the United States will fully support the island country. This is our guarantee. We all have a common enemy. We also hope that the island nation will be able to win on the battlefield. Hopkins said.

"Your Excellency, then, when did your country enter the war?" Fumiro Konoe asked.

"Our country's preparations for war are not yet complete. However, the situation is critical now, so it should be soon. It is expected that by the end of this year at the latest, we will be in the war. When the time comes, the Germans will face a three-front operation. No matter how strong they are, they will never be our opponents! Hopkins said.

The important ministers of the island's cabinet all breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing the exact timing of America's entry into the war, they knew that the pressure would be much less. After all, Europe is Germany's centre of gravity. Once the United States enters the war, a very tragic war will inevitably break out between Germany and the United States in the Atlantic. At that time, Germany's investment in other battlefields will be relatively small. And this is undoubtedly an opportunity for island countries. Perhaps they can seize this opportunity and easily occupy the South Seas and the whole of Australia.

"Your Excellency Special Envoy, does the U.S. government have any plans for the distribution of benefits after the war?" Fumiro Konoe asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is not yet available. After all, the Germans were too strong, and it would undoubtedly be very difficult to defeat them. So, it seems a little too early to talk about this. Hopkins said quietly.

He knew that the people of the island country wanted to blackmail the US government with this, and to make the distribution of benefits clear before joining the war, so that the US government would not deny it after the war was over.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, make it clear first, so that there will be a lot less trouble in the future!" Fumiro Konoe said.

Hopkins nodded, and then said, "Your Excellency, if your country has any requirements, just mention it." Even if I can't say yes, I'll report it back to the country. Our two countries are allies, and now we have a common enemy, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed. ”

"All right, Your Excellency the Special Envoy." Fumiro Konoe said.

"Your Excellency, we hope that after the defeat of Germany, the South Seas and all of Australia, as well as the islands in the Pacific controlled by Germany, will become our territory. In addition, India is going to become our colony. The oil resources of the Persian Gulf in the Middle East must also have a share of ours! Fumiro Konoe said.

Hopkins's face suddenly became a little unpleasant, these island people are really good at opening their mouths! Such a request has completely exceeded the expectations of the US government. They are not afraid of so many benefits, will they not be able to swallow it, will they all be held to death?

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, your country's demands are too great. Such a request is unacceptable to the US government! Hopkins shook his head.

"Your Excellency, in order to win this war, the Empire will send millions of troops. Many of them even lost their lives in the war. So, I don't think we're asking too much of what we're asking. The United States of America, as our ally, should think about it. Fumiro Konoe said.

Although he also knew that he had asked too much, the so-called sky-high price was repaid. This is true for business, and it is also true for diplomatic negotiations. If you first put forward harsh terms, and then the two sides bargain and make a slight concession, you may be able to reach an agreement. This has made the government of the island country desperately want to get more benefits from the Americans. This makes them put forward harsh conditions when they put forward them.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, even so, this condition is unacceptable. India, Australia, and most of the South Seas were British colonies. Although, these colonies were occupied by the Germans. However, the government of the British Empire never gave up these territories. Britain is also an ally of the United States of America, and we cannot satisfy other allies with the interests of one ally. Hopkins said.

Fumiro Konoe sneered in his heart, of course he knew that this was just an excuse for Hopkins. Although the British Empire was very powerful before the last world war, it was also the object of the island government's thigh. However, the current British Empire no longer has its former glory. They lost their homeland, they lost all their colonies except Canada, and now they can only survive in Canada. How can such a British Empire be compared with a powerful island nation. The country is weak, and if it wants to protect its own interests, it is simply impossible. All, Konoe Fumiro directly ignored the British Empire.

"Your Excellency, if the British Empire could make the same contribution as we did in this war. Then we can recognize that they continue to own these colonies. Fumiro Konoe said.
