The news of the declaration of war between Germany and South China spread throughout the world in a very short time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

2 a.m. London time, Manchester, United Kingdom.

Churchill, who had always been worried about Germany launching a landing operation on the British Isles, breathed a long sigh of relief, at this time, he and his assistant General Ismay and others were discussing the war situation at the Prime Minister's Grosseup villa on the hill in the eastern suburbs of Manchester, the core of the topic was to guard against the Germans parachuting or forcibly launching a landing operation by the navy under the cover of the air force, and was notified by the staff to listen to Hitler's speech on South China's declaration of war on South China as soon as possible, and then after the president of South China declared a state of war with Germany, The big stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground.

"This is the only good news we have heard this year! One devil fights another vampire who thrived by war and encroachment on the British colony, and let God bless them all so that the world can return to its pre-war order! ”

Churchill could not contain his excitement and shouted: "Come, guys, let's have two drinks and have a good celebration!" ”

After speaking, Churchill personally took out two bottles of English wine from the wine cabinet in the villa, and met with Lord Halifax, who served as Speaker of the House of Lords after returning from China, Lord Ismay, Deputy Secretary General of the Cabinet and Churchill's representative to the Chiefs of Staff, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary Eden, and Speaker of the House of Commons Stafford Brown. Cripps, Lord Beaverbrook, Minister of Supply, Lord Cranburn, Lord Cranburn, Lord of the Keeper of the Seals, and U.S. Ambassador Wynant had a drink.

After three glasses of wine, Churchill's face flushed, and he said even more excitedly:

"Hitler first tore the red devil entrenched in the north to pieces, consuming a lot of his vitality, and now he is attacking South China non-stop, I believe that it will not be long before the strategic materials that the Nazis have exploited on the European continent, and human resources are also stretched, and then it will be a good opportunity for us to open up the European theater for a strategic counteroffensive! God did not abandon us and brought us light at a critical time. Here, guys, another drink.

Everyone raised their glasses, touched them lightly, and drank them all.

In the eyes of U.S. Ambassador Wynant, Churchill, as the British Prime Minister, was so emotionally exposed. Straightforward like an innocent naughty boy, he couldn't help but secretly laugh, but out of respect for his allies, he still smiled and waited for everyone to calm down. Only then did he ask solemnly:

"I remember that two years ago, in June, Mr. Chancellor was pessimistic about the German invasion of the Soviet Union, believing that Hitler would be in the dust of the vast expanse of Eastern Europe. Unexpectedly, it took the Germans more than two years to drive Stalin step by step to the Urals at the junction of Asia and Europe, and the defeat of Soviet Russia seemed to be only a matter of time. Now that the Prime Minister is also saying that South China will drain the last resources of the Germans, I wonder if it will be a mistake? ”

Churchill smiled and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Ambassador has heard of the Chinese's self-proclaimed names?" ”

Wynant thought for a moment and replied, "It seems that every Chinese claims to be the descendant of the dragon, and their national belief is an evil creature called the dragon!" ”

Churchill was delighted and said, "That's right!" In the legends of our Western peoples, there are many dragon slaying warriors who go around looking for dragons' lairs and then kill them. Plunder the vast riches of the dragon's lair! However, dragons are not easy to kill, and most people who want to slay dragons. In the end, they all died in the flames of the dragon, and now Hitler wants to be the dragon slayer, what do you think will happen? ”

Wynant was a smart man. "What does the prime minister mean...... This time Nazi Germany attacked South China, will it meet and break the bloodshed? ”

Churchill smiled and said, "This prime minister is clever...... The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, so let's take a look! ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and finally when it came to what to say about the battle of Germany, Churchill said: "Although there is a huge contradiction between South China and us, the survival of Britain is now seriously challenged, and South China is still our nominal ally. Therefore, I don't mind working with the devil...... After dawn I will say a few good words to the devil in the lower house. ”

At this point, Churchill called Ismay to record, and was ready to perform his brilliant talent and moving writing in front of everyone, dictating the British statement on the German-Chinese War.

When Ismay was ready, Churchill said word for word:

"In the last hundred years, the Western nation has opened the door to China with ships and artillery, and since then the world has taken for granted the enslavement of a nation that makes up a quarter of the world's population. I used to be one of them, and I was complacent about it, but the appearance of the Nazi devil made me deeply understand how pale and ridiculous the previous concept was, and that no country or nation in this world could impose its will on others, which was a gross violation of freedom and fairness.

"Now, I see those soldiers with yellow skin and black eyes, standing at the forefront of the fight against the demonic invasion of the Nazis, seeing the brutal Germans rushing towards them like a pack of hungry wolves, and seeing behind these German soldiers, there is a small group of villains who plan and organize this threat to the continued existence and reproduction of human civilization. We, the British Empire, have only one aim, and that is to be determined to eradicate all traces of Hitler and the Nazi system, and we want to give all possible assistance to all nations and peoples fighting against the devil.

"We must not leave anything to chance, Hitler's offensive on the Eastern Front was only a prelude to an attempt to attack the British Isles, and there is no doubt that they hoped to turn around and defeat Great Britain with the help of the powerful navy of Japan, another fascist country, after possessing Persian oil and Indian fertile land, and he hoped to repeat his tactics of defeat with a deception on a much greater scale than before.

"Therefore, the war on the Eastern Front is at stake in our vital interests, and in the life and death of Britain and the United States, let us learn the lessons of cruel experience, let us redouble our efforts, and as long as there is a breath and strength, we will work together to strike at the enemy!"

When Churchill had finished speaking, looked at it, nodded, and looked very satisfied, he instructed Ismay: "Inform the broadcasters that I will address Britain and the people of the world at seven o'clock in the morning at the punctual news time." ”

Churchill then said to Ambassador Wynant: "President Roosevelt must have known the news, and I think he is celebrating now, after all, under the frenzied aggression of Japan, your president is under a lot of pressure, and now that someone has helped him to bear it, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief!" ”

Wynant speculated in his heart that Roosevelt must be in a good mood at the moment.

You must know that in Roosevelt's plan, this world war should be an opportunity for the United States to rise and lead the world. All the time. With the natural shield of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and away from the flames of war, and with the fact that Latin America and Canada, which are the backyards, provide almost all the resources, the United States is blessed with unique advantages in the development of industry and agriculture, and the United States can make a lot of war money and concentrate the wealth of the world in its own hands.

But. The madness of the Japanese ruined all this, and the Japanese army not only landed in Panama and Central America, but also attacked Canada and the United States, and more recently extended its claws to South America. The entire American continent is full of beacons and gunsmoke, and the United States, which has lost its territory in the west and north, simply has no spare strength to support others. On the contrary, South China took advantage of its tacit understanding with Germany to take advantage of the war to grow rapidly, which was completely inconsistent with the interests of the United States.

Now that South China and Germany have declared war on each other, it is no longer possible to use the war to make huge profits, as long as the United States can quickly drive the Japanese army out of its homeland, then with the strong industrial production capacity of the United States, it can completely catch up. Regain dominance.

Of course, all of this was on Wynant's mind, and he smiled and said, "Maybe." In the international trend, the prime minister and the president have always had a heart-to-heart connection, and I think the president can finally get a good night's sleep! ”

......

Eastern Time. Nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, although Roosevelt already knew the news of the declaration of war between South China and Germany, he was not in a happy mood, because Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau Jr., who had visited in a hurry during dinner, told him extremely bad news:

At the beginning of last year, after Germany launched an unrestricted submarine war off the coast of the United States, in order to ensure the safety of the gold transshipped by the French to the Caribbean Sea, the leader of the "Free France", General de Gaulle, the British Secretary of State for Home Affairs and Internal Security, John Brown. In the presence of Sir Anderson, Chinese Foreign Minister Song Ziwen and South China Ambassador to the United States Lin Wenqing, the Federal Reserve Bank withdrew 4,329 tonnes of gold from the Martinique vault in the Antilles.

At that time, the twenty-four boxes of gold sampled and verified were all normal. Stoddard. Eccles signed his name on the receipt form, and all the gold contained in the iron box was sent to the Federal Reserve Bank vault in New York for careful preservation.

However, during this period, the Japanese army often launched air raids on New York, Washington and other places, and the Federal Reserve decided to transfer gold because of the fear that New York, which is close to the sea, could be attacked by the Japanese or German navies. During the transfer process, one of the iron boxes fell to the ground and the gold bricks inside appeared, and the staff of the Federal Reserve Bank vault found that the quality of the gold was wrong during the restoration process, and immediately reported the situation, which aroused the Federal Reserve's great attention.

After the inspection by the staff, it was found that of the 4,329 tons of gold extracted from the Martinique vault, 3,126 tons were brass, accounting for 72 percent of the total amount of gold in transshipment, and since the United States had already signed the receipt form, it was impossible to prove whether it was lost in the United States, and the United States would pay more than 3,000 tons of gold to the French Government after the end of the war in the future, which also meant that the United States would pay the French a huge sum of more than $3 billion for no reason.

Now, Fed Chair Marriner. Stoddard. Eccles has been placed under police surveillance, and the prominent economist who played a key role in Roosevelt's New Deal, a financial talent that Roosevelt relied on, will face multiple charges and likely to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Roosevelt thought about it and felt that if the normal process continued, things would become uncontrollable, which would be extremely detrimental to the current overall situation, so he convened a staff team overnight to discuss the core issue of the war between South China and Germany, but how to hold on to the huge scandal of the loss of national wealth.

After a night of heated debate, Roosevelt adopted Zhang Xi's suggestion.

Zhang Xi believes that gold is just a currency symbol, and the currency used by people in reality is actually the US dollar, and people can't contact gold at all. Therefore, this news can be completely blocked, and this batch of brass, which is not known when it will be replaced, can still be deposited in the vault in the name of gold and become the "currency" of the ballast bottom. After World War I and World War II, the United States now has gold, and no one could have imagined that some of it would be adulterated, and as long as the government's credit exists, the dollar will be strong, so that the secret can be kept forever.

Federal Reserve Chairman Marina Marriner. Stoddard. Eccles must pretend that nothing has happened and continue to carry out his duties, and at the same time, no institution or individual shall be allowed to do anything to Marriner. Stoddard. Eccles did anything to avoid arousing suspicion among the population. Only in this way can the ongoing war against Japan be maintained normally, otherwise it would be difficult for anyone to predict the terrible consequences. For the ultimate victory in the war, all efforts are worth it!
