Chapter 022: The American Mind
"Mr. President, don't worry, the Chinese are just shit luck." Although Marshall comforted Truman, he himself was actually very worried, China is not Japan, China's strength is much stronger than Japan, and the camel that died is bigger than the horse, China has always been the founder of the Asian order, and now it has been controlling that area for several years, so it can be said that it has completely controlled and digested that area.
"Marshall, in just one week, we have lost two experienced fleets, and the personnel have basically not escaped, and the Aleutian Islands are also occupied by the squadron, so it can be said that we are currently in a state of defeat, and the parliamentarians will probably be very dissatisfied, and they will not listen to us too much explanation."
Now that the European war has been lost, the Soviet Union has perished, and the United States has to fight Germany alone, while France and Britain have their own calculations, of course, they do not want to become slaves, but from all indications, the two countries are not confident that their allies can defeat Germany.
The French are vigorously immigrating to French Guiana, and they also annexed Dutch Guiana, in addition, France also exchanged a large number of African colonies for British Guiana, if the French were killed in the past, they would not do it, the French are willing to do this, I am afraid that they are really worried about defeating Germany, the French do not trust the allies, and there is also a split within France after the defeat of the Soviet Union, some people tend to surrender to Germany, anyway, they have surrendered once before, and it doesn't matter if they come again, at least they can stay away from the war, Can teammates like Truman Du Yu believe it, definitely not,
Besides, the same is true for the United Kingdom, which has been moving people and property from the British mainland to Canada, but now that China is attacking North America, perhaps they can only move to South Africa.
"The current situation of the allies is indeed not very good, but even if we are difficult to turn defeat into victory on land, don't worry, we have made every effort to prevent manpower, material resources, and financial resources from making atomic bombs, I believe that at most a year will see the difference, and even if we can't defeat Axis China, we can at least defeat Germany and restore the strength of white European countries."
Marshall is German, but he himself was born and raised in the United States through and through, and received an American education, the Germans are very arrogant, but the weakness of the population is there, as long as the allies continue to resist, Marshall believes that the Germans will not be able to fight the Americas, as long as there is a year or so, the United States will have the atomic bomb, by that time, if Germany has at most everyone with the actual occupation area as their sphere of influence, if Germany does not, it will be the end of Germany, In detail, as long as the important areas or troops of Germany are solved with atomic bombs, the German army can be solved like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and Marshall also believes that the European people who dare not endure enslavement at that time will definitely follow the American army to fight back against German rule.
For Marshall, now he is most worried about the Chinese and the Japanese, the Japanese originally said that they wanted to *** China, but so far there has been no movement, especially when China and the United States go to war, I am afraid that it is the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and the fisherman profits.
Of course, the Japanese alone are nothing to be afraid of, and they are consumed to death, but China is different, the Soviets are completely helpless, and now they are fighting there except for some Germans everywhere with corpses and bones, that is to say, the United States cannot arm the Soviets to wage war against Germany or China, and China has now controlled all the Asian territories and islands under the control of India and Japan, and China also has a population of more than 400 million, plus the other two Chinese countries have a population of 500 million, I am afraid that even if there is an atomic bomb, it will not be able to scare the Chinese people,
Knowing the strength of the United States, the Meiji United States can create an atomic bomb at any time and dare to go to war against the United States, Marshall does not think that the Chinese are arrogant in this matter, he believes that the Chinese must be quite sure, not sure that the Chinese are also making atomic bombs, and have made considerable achievements, this is what Marshall is worried about, if China also has an atomic bomb, Marshall does not dare to imagine what the consequences will be,
Truman said: "Maybe we should increase our efforts to win over the Japanese against the Chinese, the hatred between China and Japan is so great, if the Chinese win, it will not be a good thing for the Japanese, and the Chinese will kill the Japanese one day sooner or later." ”
"It's a viable idea, we want to unite all the allies we can."
The next day, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Carnegie paid a special visit to Hideki Tojo, the Japanese prime minister.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Carnegie said, "Tojo-kun, I don't know what you think about the future world situation. ”
Hideki Tojo said: "The demise of the Soviet Union is a big pain for the allies, originally the Soviet Union persisted, the allies were afraid that they would soon be able to end the war, but unfortunately it was a step late, let China and Germany join forces to destroy the Soviet Union, and now the Germans in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Normandy incident, carried out a thorough genocide of the Soviets, especially the Russians, and the opportunity for the allies to turn the tables was also cut off, Stalin made a bad move, if he insisted on resisting, I'm afraid there is no need to bring 300 people to play in Eritrea and wait for death now. ”
"Now that China and Germany almost control the Asian continent, with a large population, strong combat effectiveness, good weapons and equipment, and even superior to the allies in many aspects, I think it is a matter of time before Britain, France and other European countries fall, and in the future the world is probably China, Japan, the United States, and Germany." Hideki Tojo also showed a little regret when he spoke,
Carnegie is a diplomatic veteran, he can see Tojo Hideki's worries, of course, this is only Tojo Hideki deliberately pretended, but there is no lack of true feelings, for the Chinese control such a huge territory, the possibility of Hyuga wanting to defeat China is very small, now what Japan is most afraid of is that this Celestial Empire will one day have new accounts and old accounts together, at that time Japan is afraid that the country will be extinct,
Nowadays, Japan can be said to be really trying to survive in the gap between China and the United States, Japan has the strength of a war, but Japan alone cannot defeat either side alone, and Japan has enmity with both countries, both have interest disputes, even if one country defeats the other, then the victorious side will let Japan go, it can be said that this matter is a dead end, Japan seems to be a dead end,
Carnegie said: "Yes, I think the same, but if the world is controlled by the Chinese and German fascists, I am afraid that they will inevitably attack us after they recuperate." ”
Carnegie tried to test Hideki Tojo's tone, and if Japan had that kind of unifying tendency, then the prime minister must know that under Carnegie's obvious hints, there would inevitably be a reaction.
"Hehe, at that time your country was indeed more miserable, the Americas are very fertile, rich in resources, pleasant climate, very livable, Chinese now can't help it, fortunately, our places are islands, either Indonesia's tropical rainforest, the climate is hot, mosquitoes and poisonous snakes are rampant, or like Australia, most of it is a desert, I think no one will kill or injure millions to take here." Seeing that Carnegie had turned to the main topic, Hideki Tojo snickered in his heart,
"I'm afraid not necessarily, my country naturally won't have any idea about Japan, after all, most of Australia was originally we took the initiative to let it out, and there was no reason to die to get it back, but I think China and Germany may not necessarily think so, Indonesia is rich in oil resources underground, and although it is hot here, but the grain yield is high, very suitable for growing crops, and although the desert in Australia is really large, but the underground is rich in coal, iron ore and other resources, New Zealand is a natural pasture, In such a fat place, China and Germany will not start. ”
"In addition, there is a deep hatred between China and Japan, in addition, Japan blocks China's road to the vast Pacific Ocean, and the islands controlled by Japan extend from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere, just blocking China's road to the Pacific Ocean, and Japan's existence is like a dog chain stuck in the neck of the Chinese, I think this is also enough for China to start with Japan."
"Third, if the United States is defeated, if China controls the Americas, then the Pacific Ocean is China's inner lake, and their fish ponds, they can't tolerate someone else in their own fish pond to occupy this fish that beats their family, not to mention that this person is still a person with whom he has a grudge against his father."
"Fourth, if the Germans control the Americas, or part of the Americas, the Chinese will definitely worry that the Germans will attack Australia, and then use it as a base to threaten their security.
"The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, when the world branch is left with China and Germany, I believe that a world war will still break out, if there is no one to perish, after all, there will be a country that will unify the world, so China has at least four reasons to destroy Japan, any of which is enough for China to rather kill millions or even tens of millions of dead or wounded to kill Japan, anyway, they have people."
"As for the Germans, they are so greedy that they will not give up Japan's fat, and taking Japan can indeed encircle China strategically, I believe that Hitler is very ambitious for the unification of the world, and there is that during World War I, Japan attacked Germany's colonies in the Asia-Pacific region, and the Germans must avenge the First World War, plus you said that you would attack the Soviet Union together, but you did not keep your promise, if it were not for the unexpected rise of China, I am afraid they would be killed by you, and your country signed a treaty with the allies without saying a word, If you betray Germany, will they let you go at that time, so Germany also has several reasons to destroy Japan. ”
"Huh." Hideki Tojo hid his embarrassment with laughter, every point Carnegie said poked at Japan's soft underbelly, and Japan seemed to be a dead end.
