Churchill's face was gloomy, and the word fat in the secretary-general's mouth made his heart extremely uncomfortable.

Once upon a time, the British Empire was rampant in the world, and wherever the Imperial warships went, and where the guns and guns looked, they were all fat in the mouth of the Empire, and it only depended on whether the Empire was willing to eat it.

But now, the empire has eaten the fat in its mouth, and it is forced to spit it out for various reasons!

The feeling of being powerless to stop the river was going down, giving Churchill a headache.

But he knew that the Secretary-General was telling the truth.

There is no doubt about the importance of Hong Kong to the empire, but no matter how important it is, with the current strength of the empire, it cannot be held at all!

Instead of cheapening the Japanese with wolf ambitions, it is better to exchange it for penicillin formula with Lu Yuan to save the lives of more imperial soldiers, in fact, it has to be said to be a good policy.

Then throw this hot potato to Lu Yuan to deal with!

Churchill thought like this, and took two puffs of his pipe before saying: "Inform Sir Yang Muqi and ask him to contact the people who are far away to determine whether they have penicillin in their hands, and if so, the empire will exchange Hong Kong for him!" ”

"The Prime Minister is wise!"

The Secretary-General smiled and trotted out.

At the same time, Washington, USA.

In the White House, Roosevelt was holding a ball, a military secretary with his beautiful female companion dancing on the dance floor, melodious music, the aroma of food and wine, people can't help but think of the scene of the wine pool, a few years ago The Great Depression, the history of countless people dying of cold and starvation, seems to have been gone for centuries.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

When the wine was half-drunk, Roosevelt raised his glass, and waited until the hall was quiet before he said loudly: "In recent years, we in the United States of America have made great progress in both social and economic development and scientific and technological development, and our people can enjoy peaceful days in this war-torn era because of the strength of our country - let us raise a glass and toast to the United States of America!" ”

"Long live the United States of America!"

"Che......ers to this damn war"

Many dignitaries raised their glasses in unison, shouted loudly, drank dry, laughed wildly, and everything was silent.

After all, everyone knows that the United States of America was able to get out of the economic crisis so quickly and move to the fast track of scientific and technological economic development because of the war all over the world.

Because of the war, all kinds of weapons and ammunition produced by the United States of America can be sold at a good price internationally, and it doesn't matter if there is no money, resources, mines, and even land, they will not refuse, and a country will never dislike more land.

There are some things they can't say directly, but in their hearts, they can't wait for this damn war to go on forever - why not fight on their own land anyway, and make a lot of war money by reselling arms?

Marx said that the process of accumulation of capital is bloody.

In the same way, the process of a country becoming strong is also bloody, and this is even more appropriate when applied to the United States.

Whether it is their conquest of the vast Indiana or the desperate delivery of weapons and ammunition to the burning flames of war in defiance of the world's war-torn peoples, the United States of America has grown stronger and stronger in the process.

The scarlet liquor in those glasses was like blood from bullet holes in the bodies of fallen soldiers on the battlefield.

The dance continued, but a group of high-ranking politicians left the dance floor and went to the conference room next door.

"The British are asking us for help again, asking us to send troops to help!"

A senator said with a drunken smile: "I can't imagine that the British, the French and other countries combined, all of them were beaten by Hitler and discarded their armor, and those British and French gentlemen have lost all their manners......"

"These guys, it's ridiculous...... too"

Many politicians laughed and said: "They fight, isn't it good for us to provide them with weapons?" Why do you have to drag us into the water......"

"It's their business for them to ask us for help, whether we want to save it or not, but it's our business!"

Someone laughed and said: "Mr. President, our Gatling Company is willing to donate a batch of the most advanced weapons from Britain and France free of charge to help them fight the Germans, which can be regarded as a modest contribution......

"A gratuitous donation? That's so nice...... You donated the latest weapons to Britain and France free of charge, and then Hitler was scared, and purchased more advanced weapons from your company at a high price, and Britain and France had to buy more weapons from you in order to fight - Mr. Gatling, your company's calculation is really loud! ”

"That's the nature of war, right...... Besides, Hitler slaughtered the Jews and looted so much ill-gotten wealth from the Jews, and we can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven when we earn Hitler's money......"

With these conversations, the atmosphere in the conference room reached its peak, and there was a lot of laughter, war money is always stained with blood, but as long as it is money, these capitalists will never care how much blood is stained on it.

"We really don't want to interfere in the war in Europe for the time being!"

Roosevelt waved his hand and said: "I have no objection to you making money, but you should pay attention to the impact, you should know that our people are very caring, and you should not give the people an excuse to attack the government......

"Don't worry, President, how can we not know about such a thing!"

"It's like, we don't want to be that kind of unconscionable capitalist, hahaha......"

The crowd laughed wildly, their conscience or something, they couldn't find a place for themselves.

"Mr. President, do you think we, the United States of America, can remain immune to this war that is sweeping the world?"

After a while, one of the senators finally straightened up and asked his own question, which was of concern to everyone who sat down again.

"Why be left alone? We are not participating in the war now, not because we want to be alone, but because we want to find the most suitable opportunity to intervene in the war and maximize our benefits! ”

Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair, hammered his unconscious knee and said: "Mr. Gatlin is right, the essence of war is interests, we do not intervene in the war now for the sake of interests, and in the future we will intervene in the war for the greater good - you think, when all countries are exhausted and exhausted, and we in the United States of America intervene strongly, with the posture of the savior world police, then not only will our country's prestige in the international arena reach its peak, but also be invincible with the power of the king, when the time comes, Those defeated countries can only bow down to us, what do we in the United States of America want, do they dare not give it? ”
