The Tang Empire issued a public statement condemning the brutal massacre of Jews by the German army, and used this as an excuse to announce sanctions against Germany and Italy and stop the export of all strategic materials to Germany and Italy.

Steel Germany can slowly produce its own steel, but Europe does not produce oil, the German army's oil supply is completely dependent on the Tang Empire, before it wanted to get rid of the oil supply of the Tang Empire and sent troops to Stalingrad twice, trying to cover the German army's military operations in the Caucasus oil area, the results failed, and it was impossible for the German army to obtain oil from the Soviet Union.

The Tang Empire's oil embargo on Germany was undoubtedly tantamount to tightening the neck of the German army, which made Hitler angry and immediately declared war on the Tang Empire.

The United States is very happy that this will greatly speed up the process of World War II. Hoover made a speech affirming the Tang Empire's approach. The Soviet Union is the same, thinking that from now on it can import more advanced weapons and equipment from the Tang Empire, for the Tang Army's Raptor fighter, the Great White Crane strategic bomber, the Tiger King main battle tank and other advanced weapons, the Soviet Army has always been salivating, Stalin immediately made a speech, expressed his gratitude to the Tang Empire, and at the same time sent a special envoy to the Tang Empire, looking forward to a breakthrough.

The British and French governments in exile were gritting their teeth, scolding the Tang Empire for being shameless, seeing that the United States and the Soviet Union had entered a state of strategic counteroffensive, and at this time they abandoned Germany and Italy, obviously wanting to get a piece of the results of World War II.

However, the British and French government-in-exile had nothing to do, they did not make irresponsible remarks, and completely counted on the United States to support them. Obviously, because of military security considerations in the Pacific, the United States does not want to offend the Tang Empire, let alone go to war with the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Hoover administration issued a telegram inviting the Tang Empire to join the Allied forces, and although Britain and France were unhappy, they were unable to stop it.

Zhang Meng made a televised speech the next day, accusing Germany of shamelessly declaring war on Tang. The Tang Empire was fearless and would join the allied forces of the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union and declare war on Germany.

Although the Tang Empire declared war on Germany, the Tang army did not immediately take action. This was a strategic deployment by Zhang Meng, in order to break away from the German-Italian alliance and join the US-Soviet alliance, so as to whitewash some of his own "aggression" stains so that it could be legitimized after the war.

The Tang Empire negotiated with the United States and the Soviet Union. Mainly around the issue of post-war order, the Tang Empire was only concerned with the issue of the territory they actually occupy, and the Soviet Union said that it recognized the current territory of the Tang Empire. There will be no more claims to the territories of the Far East, this is a deal between the Tang and the Soviet Union, and the trade is fair.

The United States, on the other hand, is more cautious, because the issue of territorial sovereignty over Britain and France is involved. However, the US side did not close the door. After all, Britain and France have perished. In fact, Britain and France could not talk about the fruits of victory in World War II, and they had to completely listen to the United States.

In order to show its sincerity, the Tang Empire first proposed that the island of Ireland, Cyprus and Gibraltar could all be provided to the Allies as bases for counterattacks on the European continent.

Although the U.S. military chose to land on the Italian peninsula, the distance across the Mediterranean Sea was still too far and there were many dangers, after all, there were too many German submarines. If you can land in Europe with the help of the actual control area of the Tang Empire, it is undoubtedly the safest and fastest way.

The U.S. military is impressed. I want to agree, but I need to recognize the occupation of these areas by the Tang Empire. It was also necessary to prevent the post-war claims of Britain and France over these areas.

The Hoover administration convened a meeting to study it, and most of the U.S. congressmen agreed to this quid pro quo, so the Hoover administration also announced that it would recognize the existing territorial and colonial ownership of the Tang Empire, and persuaded Britain and France to give up the relevant sovereignty claims.

The British and French governments-in-exile had to act entirely on the face of the United States, and in the face of such unreasonable demands, they could only agree.

After all these negotiations ended, three months had passed, and the Soviet army had already obtained the advanced weapons and equipment of the Tang Empire, and the first batch of 300 Tiger main battle tanks were delivered to the Soviet army, and the Soviet army immediately put them into the battlefield to fight against the German Leopard tanks. At the same time, the Tang Army's land-based Raptor fighters and Hellfire bombers also began to be exported to the Soviet Union, and the prices were relatively low, but in fact they were not profitable, and a number of them were provided to the Soviet Army free of charge, mainly to strengthen the friendly and alliance relations between the Tang and Soviet Unions.

The U.S. military is not very rare for the Tang Army's Tiger tanks, Raptor fighters, Hellfire bombers, etc., because the U.S. military has bought the patent rights for production and use from the Tang Empire before, and the U.S. military is already equipping these weapons on a large scale.

However, the US military is very interested in the new generation of weapons and equipment that the Tang Army is renovating, and hopes to introduce and equip it to the US military.

At this time, the Tang Royal Army has eliminated the original M1 submachine gun, and turned to equip it with a more advanced TM16 assault rifle, this TM16 assault rifle has long been developed according to Zhang Meng's instructions, but it has not been officially equipped for the Tang Army for a long time, until the Tang Empire sold more than 80,000 M1 submachine guns to Quan Shijie to make a big profit, when all countries are ready to start copying the M1 submachine gun of the local copycat submachine gun, Zhang Meng believes that the M1 submachine gun has no export profit value, Only then was the military factory ordered to start mass production of TM16 assault rifles and AK47 assault rifles.

Among them, the TM16 assault rifle is for the Tang Army's own use and is not exported. And the AK47 assault rifle was listed as one of the weapons for mass export from the beginning.

After the first batch of AK47 assault rifles was delivered to the Soviet army, the Soviet army was very easy to use, and they loved this assault rifle so much that it was simply tailor-made for the Soviet army. The Soviet Union then ordered 500,000 AK47 assault rifles and 1 billion rounds of ammunition from the Tang Empire, and asked the Tang Empire to provide a production line to allow the Soviet Union to produce AK47 assault rifles.

The Soviet Union needs millions of AK47 assault rifles, and it is impossible to import them all from the Tang Empire, which is too expensive, because each AK47 costs 200 Tang Yuan, so local production in the Soviet Union is inevitable, even if the Tang Dynasty does not agree, the Soviets will copy it.

Therefore, the Tang Empire agreed, but signed an intellectual property and patent protection treaty with the Soviet Union, so that for every AK47 assault rifle produced by the Soviet Union, the Tang Empire had to pay 100 Tang Yuan in patent fees. However, AK47 uses all stamping parts, and the production cost is less than 50 yuan, and the local production in the Soviet Union only costs 150 yuan, which is very cost-effective, and after mass production, the cost will be reduced.

It's just that each AK47 assault rifle was robbed of 100 Tang yuan by the Tang Empire for nothing, and the Soviets were still very painful, but they endured it, after all, it was an extraordinary period. But there are still a lot of small actions, and the Soviets often lie about the number of production and reduce the payment of patent fees to the Tang Empire.

The U.S. military was optimistic that the Soviet Army was equipped with AK47s, so it also made corresponding requests to the Tang Empire. In this regard, the Tang Empire readily agreed, AK47 was to be exported to earn foreign exchange, and it was eager for large-scale procurement by the US military, so it immediately agreed.

Compared with the poor ghosts of the Soviets, the Americans have legal constraints, the Tang Empire directly exported 300,000 AK47s to the US military in the early stage, and later allowed the US military to produce locally only for patent fees.

AK47 assault rifle alone has made the Tang Empire earn hundreds of millions of Tang yuan, and there will be a large amount of patent fee income in the future, the ultimate beneficiary of this huge amount of money is Zhang Meng, Zhang Meng's personal assets continue to skyrocket, and he is firmly in the position of the richest man in shijie, and the second richest man is in the sky and the earth compared with him.
