Chapter 1051 - Conditions for Withdrawal of Yi Duli
Adolph. Hitler pondered in silence, his sunken gray-blue eyes staring directly at Mussolini, the new Caesar of the Roman Empire, who was sitting in a circle chair opposite, and showed a wry smile, his mustache and mouth moved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć "Leader, my friend, it seems that you Romans have a persistent desire for a peaceful and peaceful life, especially in the war against Abyssinia, in the civil war in Spain, in the conquest of Egypt, in the invasion of Greece and Serbia.
If I am not mistaken, your war against the Serbian nation continues, which in turn has created millions of refugees for our European Community. And you are still coveting the British East African Protectorate (Kenya and other places) and are causing trouble there. However, we, the German people, will still support the demand for the continued expansion of the Roman Empire, which already has more than 7 million square kilometers of land.
The premise is that the Romans and the Germans are allies on the same front, fighting for a common goal - to keep European civilization strong forever! ā
Mussolini sat in a circle chair opposite Hitler with a cup of coffee. There was an Italian gentleness in his bulging eyes, and an irony in his smile. Hersmann knew that this shit-lucky Italian leader never regarded himself as Hitler's little friend, perhaps in his opinion Hitler was nothing more than the leader of a Germanic barbarian, and he was not worthy of any "European civilization" at all, right?
After Hitler had finished expounding his point, Mussolini pondered for a moment, his face becoming more solemn, and then he spoke, speaking in German almost as fluent as Hitler: "Mr. Chancellor, the foreign policy of our Roman Empire is based on an unshakable alliance with Germany. This foundation has not changed now, and it will not change in the future. But the Americans have made a very reasonable proposal for peace, so why can't we accept it and end the war as victors? The Roman Empire itself had many problems to solve! ā
"Mr. Chancellor, if you Germany don't want to end the war now." He concluded by saying, "Rome would like to withdraw from the war alone, and it hopes that Germany would conditionally agree to such an arrangement." ā
Conditional consent to Rome alone and the United States to make peace...... What an Italian wit!
Hitler remained silent, looking a little angry, and at the same time there was some helplessness and regret in his eyes.
Mussolini, on the other hand, continued to look at his old friend with a mild and mocking smile.
Seeing the embarrassing scene, Hersman, who participated in today's meeting, cleared his throat and interjected: "Leader, do you mean that the Roman Empire is going to withdraw from the Axis bloc, but at the same time can provide some compensation?" ā
Mussolini said: "Actually, as a peace-loving person, I would prefer to end all wars." ā
Hersmann and Hitler exchanged glances, in fact they had already exchanged views on the withdrawal of Japan and Rome from the war before coming to Berchtesgaden.
After discussing it, the two of them decided that it was a high probability that Japan and Rome would withdraw from the war in some form. Because the interests of these two countries and Germany are already at odds.
The war aimed at carving up the three European world empires of Britain, France and Russia is now over!
Although the United States has not yet been defeated, Japan and Rome will not have any ambitions for the Americas, and they will not be able to defeat the United States.
And with the gradual success of Germany's "European Community" line, Germany has now changed from the destroyer of the Anglo-French-Russian world empire to its successor.
That is, Germany now has the responsibility to preserve the Anglo-Franco-Russian world empire! From this point of view, the interests of Germany and the Roman Empire and the Japanese Empire were no longer identical, and there was even a great conflict.
Moreover, the current war between Germany and the United States is not actually about Brazil or Venezuela, but about the future international currency issuance - that is, the world's financial hegemony!
The world's financial hegemony and the colonies of several old European world empires around the world are the basis for the existence and consolidation of the European Community.
But the existence and consolidation of the European Community...... and did not serve the interests of the Roman Empire and the Japanese Empire.
Therefore, it is actually an inevitable choice for Rome and Japan to make peace with the United States. Even if Germany forcibly kept them in the war bloc through aid or threat, it would not be of much significance. At that time, if they can't work, it is better to break up early.
As for hitting the United States...... It is enough to pull in Britain, France and Belarus! Because they are all using Euromark now, and the Euromark becoming an international hard currency has only good and no harm for them.
Britain and France, in particular, are two old imperialists who are masters of finance. France was known as "usury capitalism", and London was an international financial center before the war.
If the Euromark can beat the dollar, the financial circles of Britain and France can be rich.
However, Germany can't let Japan and Italy withdraw so easily, and the two countries have made enough money with Germany, so why do they have to make some contributions before breaking up?
Thinking of this, Hersmann gave Hitler a look.
"Leader, I have understood your thoughts," Hitler said in a serious tone with anger. "Considering the traditional friendship between our two countries over the past decade or so, I understand your peace-loving thoughts of the Romans." He paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said, "But you have to pay the price for making peace with the United States...... I mean that's the price to pay for our consent! ā
Mussolini breathed a sigh of relief, although the future of the Roman Empire was bright. But at the moment, the Roman Empire was definitely not able to defeat the Germanic barbarians......
Hitler did not immediately make a condition, but stood up, then gave Mussolini a salute and left in a huff. Hersmann smiled apologetically at Mussolini, "Leader, I'll send you away first...... The conditions for Rome's withdrawal, we need to hold a meeting of the high command to discuss it, and we will inform you when we have the results, okay? ā
Notice? Mussolini was a little unhappy in his heart, how could the dignified Roman Empire inform him? Don't you need to discuss?
However, Mussolini was still very polite on the face, and left the Eagle's Nest side by side with Hersmann with a smile, got into a Fiat 2800 luxury car, and drove away.
Hersmann then returned to the Eagle's Nest, where Hitler was already waiting for him. Eva. Braun and Chloe also appeared in the hall, and both women knew that their men had business to talk about, so they did not come up to speak to them.
Hersmann grabbed Hitler's elbow, and the two of them walked together to the huge terrace of the Eagle's Nest.
"Adolf," said Hersman, "the Italians have three 'Duke Alexander'-class battleships under construction, which are very good, with a standard displacement of 44,674 tons, three 406mm guns in three groups, and the protection is not weak, and there is a maximum speed of 30 knots. They should be asked for as a condition for Italy to withdraw. ā
The Duke Alexander-class battleship was a modification of the UP-41 battleship (the original version of the Soviet-class) designed for the Soviet Union by the Italian company Ansaldo, and was 2 knots slower than the original design, in exchange for a greater endurance.
These three "Duke Alexander" class plans were to be completed and commissioned in 1945 and are currently under construction at full capacity. If they can be obtained, it will strengthen the strength of the European Combined Fleet in terms of battleships.
If you add 4 ships of the "Schleicher" class (Lion class) that started construction in the UK, 3 ships of the "Alsace" class built by France, and 2 ships of the "Hindenburg" class. In 1945, the Combined European Fleet would have had 12 super battleships with 406mm guns!
In this way, even if one or two "Montana" class ships were commissioned in 1945, the combined European fleet would not be without the confidence to fight a surface fleet battle against the US Navy.
"What about Japan?" Hitler was noncommittal to Hersmann's proposal, and asked Japan, "Are they also going to withdraw?" ā
"I didn't say it explicitly," said Hersman, "but Hiroshi Oshima and I complained for a long time, as if we couldn't fight it anymore." But to make peace alone...... Not necessarily, I'm afraid ā
"Why?" Hitler asked.
"Far East!" Hersman replied, "The Japanese have ambitions for the Far East, and now that the Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse, it is their best chance to seize the Far East." And...... Once Japan seizes the Far East, we will not be able to deploy atomic bombs and long-range bombers in Vladivostok in the future! ā
"What? Deploying an atomic bomb in Vladivostok? Hitler was stunned, although he was dissatisfied with many of the actions of the Japanese, but in general he was relatively pro-Japanese, so he did not think of deploying an atomic bomb in Vladivostok......
"There are no forever friends in the world!" Hersmann said to Hitler, "It is the same with Japan, and although we have no intention of going to war with them, it is necessary to be prepared." ā
Hitler was silent for a moment and asked: "If Japan insists on invading the Far East, do we have an obligation to the Russian Empire?" ā
"Yes!" "In accordance with the German-Russian Agreement and the Russian-European Community Agreement, we are obliged to provide all forms of assistance in the event of an invasion of the territory of the Russian Empire by a foreign enemy," Hersman said. ā
"But can the Far East be counted as the territory of the Russian Empire?" Hitler asked.
"If the USSR no longer exists, then there is the territory of the Russian Empire!" Hersman said, "The treaty clearly stipulates that the foreign enemies of the Russian Empire do not include the Soviet Union, and that the war between Soviet and Russian countries is a civil war, and we have only limited obligations to provide assistance." And the Soviet territory was attacked by Japan, and the European Community certainly did not need to help. ā
