Chapter 236: This Variable Is Too Big!
"Mr. Churchill, I don't know if the East China Empire will be stained red by the Soviet Union. But I know that the rise of Donghua to become one of the powerful countries that have the right to speak in this world is already an undeniable fact! ”
Roosevelt sighed and said, "The small riots instigated by your intelligence agencies in Australia have not been able to shake the pro-China regime led by John Curtin, who is backed by Donghua. It will only invite Cheng Gong's iron-fisted repression and purge against all racists. ”
"Mr. Roosevelt, do you mean that because of this incident, the conversation between you and Cheng Gong has been affected?" Churchill asked thoughtfully.
"I can only say that this is a factor." Roosevelt replied with a noncommittal sigh: "The main reason is that we have never regarded Cheng Gong as a real leader of a great power psychologically. It is believed that he was just lucky, so he was able to move between the two camps of the Axis and the Allies, and survived and developed in the cracks.
If we had made up our minds from the beginning to devote all our strength to dealing with him, instead of each family having its own little abacus, I believe that there would never be a Donghua Empire in this world. The big mistake has been made, and we can only find ways to make up for it, repair, and improve the relationship with Cheng Gong as much as possible. ”
"With Stalin joining forces with him, I'm afraid that this little guy will be even more difficult to speak." Churchill smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Roosevelt, do you think it is possible for the Soviet Union and Germany to fight?" ”
"If Hitler wants to unify the whole of Europe, it will be a matter of time before he turns against Stalin." Roosevelt muttered and replied, "But there is a very subtle element in this. ”
"You mean Cheng Gong?" Churchill asked intently.
"Hmm!" Roosevelt replied with certainty: "If Cheng had acted as a mediator between Hitler and Stalin, I estimate that Hitler and Stalin would have given him a little face." ”
"I think the opposite of you." Churchill said very seriously: "I think Cheng Gong's real intention in choosing to ally with Stalin at this time is to arm the Soviet Union to contain Germany!" It is even possible that the Soviet-German war was secretly provoked! ”
"Hehe, my point of view is that the reason why Cheng Gong armed the Soviet Union was to dispel Hitler's idea of doing something against the Soviet Union." Roosevelt smiled indifferently: "Mr. Churchill, don't forget, your country and France have declared war on Cheng Gong. If I were Cheng Gong, I would do everything in my power to avoid a German battle on two fronts, and thus concentrate my forces against your Anglo-French forces. ”
"There is no Donghui Kingdom in this world, and our declaration of war no longer has any meaning." Churchill said unashamedly: "I believe this is also the original intention of Cheng Gong to change the name of the country to the Donghua Empire." Otherwise, he would not have allowed little Japan to seize our colonies in Asia. ”
"I think this is the real scary thing about Cheng Gong!" Roosevelt's tone turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "He was not carried away by the victory of the East Australian War, he knew how to accept what he saw, and he had a basis for advancing and retreating."
By changing the name of the country, he skillfully avoided a conflict of interest with Japan because of the seizure of Malaysi and the Indochina Peninsula. A person who can restrain greed and desire is very difficult to deal with, especially if this person is still a young man! ”
"Therefore, we should be friends with Cheng Gong, not enemies!" Churchill said solemnly: "Your Excellency, if you can persuade Cheng Gong to resell the three aircraft carriers sold to Germany and Japan to us, the British government will permanently recognize the colonization of Australia and New Zealand by the East China Empire!" ”
"There is intelligence that the four aircraft carriers in Cheng Gong's hands are much more advanced than the Essex-class aircraft carriers we are designing!" Roosevelt said with great seriousness: "According to our ship design experts, the design of an inclined deck aircraft carrier requires extremely high structural design of the hull. At present, we have almost zero technical information in this area.
If Cheng Gong wants to break the contract with Germany and Japan, I don't think it's very likely. But if you, the British government and the British royal family, can legally recognize the colonization rights of the Donghua Empire over the British colonies in Oceania, perhaps, I can find a way to get the design drawings of the Donghua Royal Navy's famous general-class aircraft carrier from Cheng Gong. ”
"Mr. President, the three aircraft carriers that Cheng Gong sold to Germany and Japan are equipped with jet carrier-based fighters!" Churchill reminded very seriously: "The design drawings of the Admiral-class aircraft carrier alone are not of much use if there are no supporting jet carrier-based fighter drawings!" ”
"The jet fighters that Cheng Gong sold to Germany and Japan will take at least two to three years to form real combat effectiveness!" Roosevelt affirmed: "This gives us relatively ample time to develop jet engines and jet fighters."
Although Cheng Gong sent people to buy all the technical patents related to jet engines, it is still very likely that we will purchase the right to use these patents from Donghua through normal commercial channels. ”
"Mr. Roosevelt, I have to ask your country to take more care in this regard." Churchill sighed with deep emotion and said: "I heard that Cheng Gong is a very grudge-minded person, so I won't come forward to find myself bored." We have to act as soon as possible, and we really don't have much time left. ”
"Alas! If you know today, why bother in the first place! Roosevelt also sighed helplessly and said. I don't know if he was talking about himself or if he was sarcastic about Churchill.
At the same time, Germany, Berlin, the Chancellery.
Hitler was now holding urgent consultations with Hirohito via video link on the issuance of the "Joint Declaration of the Paradise Island Cooperation Organization."
Cheng Gong actually got involved with the Soviet Union, which was a great variable that Hitler and Hirohito never expected.
You must know that Cheng Gong's Donghua Empire implemented an imperial and capitalist market economic system, which was completely opposed to socialism and communism pursued by the Soviet Union, and was irreconcilable.
Was it really just Stalin who was the first head of state to visit the Donghua Empire?
"Mr. Hirohito, your Tokyo is not too far from Paradise Island, why haven't you visited Cheng Gong all the time?" Hitler asked puzzled.
"Mr. Hitler, Cheng Gong has helped Germany more than we in Japan, why didn't you visit Cheng Gong?" Hirohito asked without answering.
Hitler did not answer, and was silent for a long time, before he said: "He is too young." ”
"I don't think he's like the king of a country." Hirohito said slowly: "The auction he held on Chongming Island made us all subconsciously not regard him as a real national leader. We were just thinking about how to get more out of him, and we never thought about building a real friendship with him! ”
"I always felt that he had other plans for Germany!" Hitler said with a gloomy face.
"More than 100,000 valiant soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire died at his hands!" Hirohito Furui said slowly.
"The Admiral-class aircraft carrier and supersonic jet fighter we bought are still on Paradise Island!" Hitler sighed helplessly and said: "Whatever he wants, at least for now we must treat him as a friend." Mr. Hirohito, do you remember what he once said to us, 'Who are our friends and who are our enemies?'" ”
"I remember it very clearly!" Without hesitation, Hirohito replied categorically: "If Donghua can be satisfied with the territory of Oceania, it is very unlikely that he and we will become enemies. However, his current cooperation with the Soviets is very likely to threaten our interests in Manchuria. ”
"Germany and the Soviet Union can only be enemies, not friends!" Hitler said firmly.
