Chapter 1286: Spare America
After the meeting with Hiroshi Oshima, German Chancellor Adolf Ashram. Hitler immediately went back to his office, put on his reading glasses, and read word for word the telegram that President Truman had just sent through the Dutch Standard Oil Company. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This telegram was actually a return to a telegram sent by Hitler to Truman last evening. In the telegram sent by Hitler, several favorable conditions were put forward that could be used as a step down for Truman. For example, the establishment of the Latin American Neutrality and Free Trade Area and the Panama Canal Zone remain under the control of the United States.
The former is the merger of the New Federation of Asbania (including the former Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and parts of southern Brazil) and the Latin American region south of the United States of America, including the Caribbean, into a neutral, free-trade region. There, the five countries of the United States, the United States of Europe, the Roman Empire, the British Empire, and the New Federation of Asbania (without Japan and the Soviet Union) would have unilateral trade freedom -- that is, goods from these five countries would be free to enter the "Latin American zone," but goods from the "Latin American" countries would not be free to enter the five countries.
Considering the traditional influence and large investment of the United States in the "Latin American Zone", as well as the convenience of transportation, the establishment of this "Latin American Neutrality and Free Trade Area" is very beneficial to the United States.
In addition, all European and American troops stationed in the "Latin American zone", with the exception of the United States troops in the Panama Canal Zone, must be withdrawn. The countries of the "Latin American Zone", with the exception of Brazil, which will lose part of its territory, will return to the status quo ante to the state it had before the 1939 World War, and will be jointly guaranteed by the European Community (United States), the Roman Empire, the New Federation of Asbania, and the United States.
In other words, the colonies of European countries in the "Latin American zone" can also be restored. In these colonies, however, the States were no longer allowed to station regular troops, but only civilian police to maintain order.
However, the British Bahamas, located outside the Caribbean Sea, and Bermuda, off the east coast of the United States, are no longer part of the "Latin American Zone". The two territories were to be returned to Britain and garrisoned by the European Community (United States).
This means that while the United States gets the economic benefits of the "Latin American zone" and control of the Panama Canal, Germany also gets two nuclear weapons deployment bases close to the United States! With the addition of Newfoundland, Germany has a total of three bases off the east coast of the United States that can deploy nuclear weapons, and the entire east coast will be under the deterrence of German atomic bombs.
But the capture of the Latin American Zone and the Panama Canal Zone was a diplomatic victory for Truman. So in Truman's callback, he thanked Hitler for his "friendliness" and "generosity."
At the same time, Truman put forward the concept that "Australia and New Zealand are not controlled by the United States" in a return call. The meaning is to exclude the question of Australia and New Zealand from peace talks, and whether the Germans want to attack or "appease" has nothing to do with the United States. The United States will stop sending military aid to Australia and New Zealand after the peace treaty goes into force (passed by Congress).
In exchange for Germany's de facto "appeasement" of Australia and New Zealand (as long as Hitler agrees that Australia and New Zealand have nothing to do with the United States, it is tantamount to tolerating the existence of the beacon of freedom in Australia and New Zealand), the United States can agree to an indemnity of 800 billion European marks. And immediately after the treaty is reviewed by Congress, 75 billion euromarks worth of gold and silver, and 25 billion euromarks worth of petroleum products, food, livestock, cotton and other materials urgently needed by the European Community will be disbursed.
Truman also promised in a telegram that if Germany agreed to separate Australia and New Zealand from the United States, he was confident that the U.S. Congress would pass the Treaty of Rome in the short term.
Because Australia and New Zealand will be magnets for the American resistance, they will either move their families to Australia and New Zealand to build the Freedom Fortress, or they will agree to compromise with Germany for the survival of the Australia and New Zealand Freedom Fortress.
After reading Truman's callback, the German Chancellor fell into deep thought. Obviously, the Americans are still not convinced! They did not completely abandon the European Community, which had won the confrontation, but only temporarily capitulated, while shifting the flame of resistance to Australia and New Zealand, which were beyond the reach of Europe......
"Bowman." Hitler suddenly raised his head and shouted.
His personal secretary Martin. Bowman stood outside, immediately pushed the door and walked in, and saluted Hitler: "Hi, Hitler! ”
"Hersman hasn't left yet."
"Not yet, he just sent Hiroshi Oshima away, and now he's getting ready to leave."
It turned out that after Hitler left, Hersmann also talked to Hiroshi Oshima for a while in a "whisper", mainly asking the Japanese about the demand for an armistice between the United States and Japan.
"Then invite him over right away." Hitler said
"Yes, Leader."
Martin. Baumann immediately turned away, and after ten minutes, he returned to Hitler's office with Hersmann.
"Hey! Hitler! ”
"Mr. Prime Minister."
Baumann and Hersmann greeted Hitler in their own ways, and the German Chancellor rose from his chair, shook hands with Hersmann, nodded to Baumann, and motioned for him to leave the office.
"Sit down, Ludwig." Hitler asked Hersmann to sit down in a chair across from his desk, "Does Japan have any demands on the Hawaiian and Aleutian Islands?" ”
"Not really," Mr. Hersman said, "they agreed to a ceasefire based on the existing areas of control and then demilitarization." However, they put forward an additional condition, which was to get the United States to guarantee that it would not support China and Soviet Russia. ”
"What an idiot!" Hitler sneered, "If the United States does not support China and the Soviet Union, what value does Japan have to us?" ”
To Germany, Japan is a vicious dog united by the nations of the Pacific Rim. If the Pacific Rim parties do not unite, what value will Japan have?
"But the Americans didn't agree, and the Japanese could only cease fire, in fact, they couldn't fight anymore." Hersman replied with a smile.
Hitler handed the copy of Truman's telegram back to the Reich Marshal, "Reich Marshal, look at this. ”
"This is ......," Hersman said, taking the copy of the telegram and reading it. In fact, he already knew that Hitler was "American", but he did not want to use the crime of "American" to attack Hitler. After all, Germany's political rules are different from those of the United States, and Hitler, as the victor, also has extremely high prestige.
Seeing that Hersman had finished reading the telegram transcript, Adolf. Hitler asked: "How?" Can we accept it? ”
"It's okay." Hersman nodded, "We can't do anything with Australia and New Zealand now, and I don't think Japan will agree to our troops being stationed in Southeast Asia or the South Pacific...... And even if we can force them to agree, it's a little late, so I'm not in favor of a war against Australia and New Zealand. ”
Australia and New Zealand have always been the focus of British and American defenses, and there were at least a million Allied troops (including the Anzac Army) stationed there before the armistice! There are no less than 2,000 combat aircraft, thousands of tanks and self-propelled guns, and a huge surface and underwater fleet.
And with the suspension of the war in the Atlantic direction, a large number of British troops in Canada and "freedom fighters" in the United States have also boarded the ships to the Freedom Fortress of Australia and New Zealand. The number of weapons and equipment sent to Australia and New Zealand by the U.S. government, both overtly and covertly, is too numerous to count.
In this case, Germany will inevitably have to send a large army to settle Australia and New Zealand. And the longer it drags on, the harder it will be for Australia and New Zealand to figure it out. This is not only because the Americans sent there too many freedom fighters and weapons and equipment, but also because the German people have long been waiting for a good life with their necks bared.
So once a peace treaty was reached and the American reparations were shipped to Europe, the German people's willingness to war would decline rapidly. Even Hitler could hardly call for an expedition against a military power on the other side of the globe.
Hearing Hersman's statement, Adolf. Hitler also exhaled lightly and said with a smile: "Then let the United States go for the time being, after all, they are also Aryans, and they may become one with us in the future......"
