"Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Marshal of the Reich, our two countries can completely divide the world...... The Atlantic Ocean is the dividing line, and we in the United States rule the west of the Atlantic Ocean, and Germany rules the East of the Atlantic. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info we in the United States are going to clean up Japan fiercely, while you are going to destroy the evil Bolsheviks. This is how we Americans think of the post-war world, and if you agree, peace will immediately appear in the Atlantic. ”

In the conference room of the German Chancellery, the US Ambassador to Switzerland, Mr. Kennedy, was pouring out his words to Hitler, Hersmann and Rudolf F. Kennedy. Hess paints a delightful future new world order – at least in the eyes of Hitler and Hess, which is barely acceptable.

Of course, there was a slight disagreement between the two Nazi leaders. Rudolph. Hess meant to immediately betray Japan and the United States to negotiate peace, and then concentrate on the destruction of the Soviet Union. Hitler, on the other hand, was very hesitant to betray Japan...... It was immoral to betray allies, and as a Nazi of high character, Hitler felt that he could not do it. Unless the United States is sincere enough to make peace with Germany...... In this case, Hitler was still willing to sell Emperor Hirohito with a clear conscience.

And the biggest measure of the sincerity of the United States for peace is, of course, oil.

Hitler asked: "Mr. Kennedy, as far as I know, Britain has a large share of oil production in Venezuela." If the United States and we have a truce, does that mean that Venezuelan oil can continue to be shipped to the British mainland? ”

During the Second World War, Britain consumed mainly oil from Venezuela, with a total annual supply of tens of millions of tons. And if this oil is shipped to the British mainland, it means that the amount of oil at Germany's disposal has increased by about 25% all of a sudden.

"This ...... This should be no problem. Kennedy shrugged, "I guess that's no problem, and if an armistice is reached, there's no reason why we shouldn't let the British get what belongs to them." ”

"15 million tons of Venezuelan oil per year!" Hersman immediately added, "Within one month of the signing of the armistice, we will receive our full share of the first year." ”

When Kennedy heard about the "armistice treaty", he was overjoyed, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "There is no problem, no problem at all...... In fact, we have a surplus of our own oil, the United States simply cannot use up 200 million tons of oil, and if you are willing to pay cash, we can sell you American oil, which can provide at least 15 million tons a year. ”

Yes? Really?

Hearing this answer, both Hersmann and Hitler were stunned...... This Kennedy's style is really big, 15 million tons of oil agreed to come down in one bite, and he also agreed to sell 15 million tons of American oil to Germany!

Is this really going to betray the Soviet Union?

"Marshal of the Empire, how's it going?" Hitler listened to Rudolf at this time. Hess's translation, apparently, was also on his mind. "If we can get 30 million tons of extra oil, can we destroy the USSR?"

Hersman thought for a moment and replied, "At least take the part of Europe west of the Urals." ”

If Germany negotiated peace with the United States, it would be a one-front war, concentrating the forces of the whole of Europe to fight the Soviet Union, and there would also be the White Russian Belt and Road Party. In terms of strength, it was enough to overwhelm the Soviet Union, and the only factor restricting the strength of the European coalition was the lack of oil. If the United States is willing to provide an additional 30 million tons, then the amount of oil at Germany's disposal in the coming year will exceed 70 million tons!

That's an astronomical amount for Germany! Historically, Germany barely managed to produce 10 million tons of oil a year, and it almost toppled the Soviet Union. Now with 7 times as much oil, theoretically there will be 7 times as many tanks and planes (now that most of Europe's industry has been integrated and relatively fully mobilized, the production of tanks and planes and the number of troops are not a problem). Hell, if Stalin could bear it, Hirschmann said that taking half of it was actually very conservative, but Hitler immediately moved his mind when he heard this.

"It is enough to take the west of the Urals," Hitler nodded and said with a smile, "so that it is easier to digest." ”

Hitler liked the European part of Russia very much, but he hated the Slavs...... If he could drive a large part of it to the east of the Ural Mountains, he would think it would be very good.

It would be better to keep a few million men in the European part of Russia, and to the east of the Ural Mountains a "Soviet" that could confront "Western Russia." In this way, the eastern part of Germany can be safe and secure. Moreover, in order to survive, "Western Russia" will inevitably depend on Germany, which is actually the land where Germany provides resources and agricultural products...... This is an economic colony in disguise!

Although this plan is not comparable to turning "Western Russia" into a real German colony, it is certainly much better than what Hersmann now advocates to negotiate peace with the Soviet Union after the seizure of left-bank Ukraine and eastern Belarus.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the Americans are mostly deceiving us!"

No sooner had Kennedy been sent off, and Hersman immediately began to doubt the integrity of the Americans.

"As long as Roosevelt is in power, the United States will never stand by and watch us swallow Russia." "Because that would mean that Europe would dominate the world for a few more hundred years!" ”

That was the merger of the later Great European Union and Russia, a bunch of small countries that split off from the Soviet Union, and this Greater Europe also controlled Africa, the Middle East, and India...... A proper thousand-year empire!

Rudolph. Hess immediately retorted: "Roosevelt was just a democratically elected president, and he couldn't dominate America...... And he has more than a year left in his term, and it will be time to change in January of '45. If he doesn't want to leave a mess for the next president of the United States, then he will definitely settle Japan during his term. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to make peace with us. ”

Hitler nodded and said, "Maybe it's true...... We have to try, but we shouldn't fully trust the United States, after all, the current president of the United States is still Roosevelt! ”

"It should be tried," Hersmann thought for a moment and agreed with Hitler, "to get the Dutch to come forward and import fuel from the United States...... Imported 3 million tons of C3 grade fuel oil. ”

C3 fuel is high-quality jet fuel with an octane rating higher than 100 and is one of the most stringent export controls in the United States. If the Americans were willing to sell 3 million tons of C3 fuel oil to the Netherlands (in fact, to Germany), then it means that Roosevelt really wanted to sell the Soviet Union - 3 million tons is not a small amount!

If the United States refuses to sell or procrastinates, it means that it is fooling Germany.

"Okay, that's it." Hitler nodded, and then said to Hersmann, "Reich Marshal, Japan must also be appeased before we can make peace with the United States...... Even if we make peace with the United States, it would be better for Japan to resist for a long time until we take the area west of the Urals. ”

At the mention of Japan, Hersman couldn't help frowning, although he was busy fighting against the Soviet Union during this time, he also devoted some energy to the issue of aiding Japan. So he knows that the Japanese are now continuing on the wrong path!

Although the Japanese also knew that the initiative in the Pacific theater was about to be lost, Japan had to start a full-scale defense. But instead of heeding Hersman's advice to defend the Hawaiian Islands with the tactics of a suicide attack, they pinned their hopes on maneuvering with the fleet.

While deploying defenses on several key islands in the Pacific Ocean, they are also starting to expand the size of their fleets and seeking so-called "advanced" fighters, hoping to use the aircraft carrier fleet to fight a decisive battle to continuously kill and injure the US military forces, and finally force the United States to sue for peace.

In addition, according to Hersmann's information, Japan is still secretly negotiating through the Soviet Union and the United States -- and these Showa staff officers are estimated to have been fooled enough by Stalin and Roosevelt.

After leaving the German Chancellery, Hersmann left the issue of "aiding Japan" behind him. Because in his opinion, it is simply impossible for the Americans to sell 3 million tons of valuable C3 fuel to the Netherlands...... Most of Kennedy's promises were Roosevelt's conspiracy.

And now for Germany, a forced landing on the Soviet Union as soon as possible is the most important and the most secure route to victory.

"Imperial Marshal, I just received a request for help from Army Group North."

As soon as Hersman returned to Tsosen's General Staff, Guderian gave him a request for help from Army Group North.

Of the three Army Group on the Western Front, Army Group Center and Army Group Southwestern were now in a relatively good situation, but Army Group North, which was responsible for encircling Leningrad, was under great pressure over the past few days.

The Leningrad Front and Kalinin Front of the USSR had much more troops than the German Army Group North, and also had an advantage in armored forces. Another surprise attack on the front line of Velikiye Luki-Pskov. Although it did not take Velikiye Luki, it also put great pressure on Army Group North.

Therefore, the command of Army Group North had no choice but to partially lift the encirclement of Leningrad in accordance with the instructions of the General Staff. However, Küchrel was still unwilling to retreat from under the city of Leningrad. Therefore, only the northern part of the Leningrad encirclement (the line between the Neva River and the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland) was removed, but the semi-encirclement of the Neva River-the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland was still held, and at the same time, the Moscow-Leningrad Red October Railway was blocked, making the traffic between Leningrad and outside the city very difficult.

However, it was precisely because of the holding of half of the encirclement that the strength of Army Group North was overstretched, and it was a little unable to cope with the offensive of the two Soviet fronts. Moreover, the defense of the eastern part of Balticia, which was under the responsibility of Army Group North, was now somewhat empty.

"What troops can be transferred now?" Hersman put down the report and asked Guderian.

"We still have a lot of reserves," Guderian replied with a smile, "but I think it's time for the Polish Wehrmacht to be dispatched...... This is a chance for the Poles to take revenge. (To be continued.) )
