Chapter 461: Mediterranean Storm (18)
In the face of Stalin's ridicule, Churchill maintained a gentlemanly demeanor that was neither angry nor angry, although he kept greeting the women of the other family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Mr. Stalin, I think it is necessary for you, the Soviet Union, to adjust its overall strategy as soon as possible." Churchill looked at Stalin very seriously and said: "If you really hope that the Germans will no longer covet the rich and vast territory of the Soviet Union, then you are very wrong.
If Italy had crossed the Caucasus Mountains with the armies of the Axis powers of Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary into the heart of the Soviet Union, and the anti-Soviet armed groups in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran had launched a strategic counteroffensive, I can guarantee that the Japanese would have made a major move against the Soviet Far East. ”
"10 million brave and tenacious Red Army soldiers can tear any aggressor to shreds!" Stalin said in a deep voice with a blank face: "Winter and cold snaps can bury all imperialism and its lackeys!" ”
"The cold winter in Siberia is truly terrible."
Hoover quietly and slowly continued: "However, with the rapid development of modern science and technology, the clothing and equipment that can effectively withstand the cold winter of the Arctic are becoming more and more advanced, and a mechanized army equipped with special cold-resistant equipment is not comparable to the Napoleonic army that went on an expedition to Russia." ”
Capitalist countries are really not a good thing! Stalin secretly hated himself.
Since the Soviet Union did not receive as much aid from Britain and the United States as it did at the same time in history, Stalin was not very interested in Britain and the United States, two so-called allies.
The Soviet Union joined the Allies into the war, mainly because Germany suddenly declared war on the Soviet Union. With Britain and the United States declaring war on Germany, Stalin certainly would not be wary of uniting Britain and the United States to deal with Hitler, a crazy guy.
I have to say that the current Soviet Union is far from being defeated and embarrassed by the German army as it was in the same period of history. Although the Soviets lost Poland, as well as more than half of Ukraine and Belarus, the attacking Germans paid a terrible price. Valuable time was gained for the construction of the Kyiv-Minsk defensive line.
The Soviet Union, which had completely transitioned to a full-scale wartime system, was the envy of Cheng Gong for its powerful organizational capabilities and industrial production capacity.
The 10 million field troops and reserve units that were easily recruited fully demonstrated the courageous and warlike characteristics of Russia, a fighting nation.
It can be said that if it were not for Hitler's insistence on launching the "Barbarossa Plan" that he formulated, which plunged more than 3.5 million elite German troops into the quagmire of the Soviet battlefield, Britain and the United States might have become governments in exile like Free France by now.
Germany's military strength led Stalin to shift the Soviet Union's strategic focus from Europe to West and Central Asia.
Stalin was not stupid. Of course, he will not be willing to be used by the two major capitalist countries, Britain and the United States, to use the main force of the Soviet Red Army to fight with the German army.
For the time being, Stalin believed that with the power of the Soviet Union alone, the chances of an imaginary victory over the German army sweeping across Europe were rather slim. Therefore, he decided that the strategic focus of the Soviet Red Army on the Western Front against the Germans would be mainly defensive until Britain and the United States were unable to draw large numbers of troops to land in Europe.
The German army on the Western Front was used to sharpen and train the Soviet Red Army recruits through actual combat in preparation for a full-scale counteroffensive in the future.
Under these circumstances, Churchill and Hoover also wanted to demonstrate the superiority of the world's leading capitalist industrial power in front of Stalin, and it was no wonder that Stalin could give these two good faces.
"With His Majesty the Emperor Jincheng of the Donghua Empire coming forward, I believe that Hitler will definitely let the 3.5 million troops deployed by Germany on the Eastern Front cease fighting and rest." With a mocking smile in Stalin's eyes, Churchill and Hoover swept their faces and said with a sneer:
"When Hitler found out that the Germans were bleeding in front of the valiant Soviet Red Army, whether he would continue to fight the Red Army in a frenzied manner, or whether he calmly considered adjusting his strategic focus, no one can guess now except God.
Mr. Churchill, the East China Empire first took Australia and New Zealand from the British, and then turned the British Maldives, Chagos, Mauritius and Seychelles into the territory of the East China Empire.
The Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar, which had been under the control of the British Empire, were now also forced to be managed by the Donghua Empire. The British government and the royal family have been robbed of such huge benefits by the Donghua Empire, will you really be willing?
I know you certainly won't, and likewise, the young emperor of the Donghua Empire knows very well the nature of you Britons. The best way to strike at the enemy is to make sure that the enemy never turns over. If I were Cheng Gong, I would definitely do everything I could to completely eliminate the most threatening enemy of the Donghua Empire by any means! ”
"What do you mean by that?" Churchill looked at Stalin with a grim face and asked in a deep voice.
"Hehe, it's not interesting." Stalin smiled indifferently: "What you think you mean is what you mean." ”
"Mr. Stalin, are you speculating that the East China Empire joined forces with Germany against the British?" Hoover asked thoughtfully.
"I didn't say that." Stalin shook his head with a smile and said, "That's what you said. I think that the Donghua Empire has not yet taken a clear position, and it is clear that they intend to emulate the United States in World War I and to maximize its interests in World War II. ”
"If we can't join forces to destroy this evil empire, I promise that in the future you will all be eaten away by this evil country one by one!" Churchill gritted his teeth and said with hatred.
"In today's rapid development of modern industry and science and technology, no country dares to challenge the world with its own strength." Quite calmly, Stalin gently knocked off the ash from his pipe in the ashtray, and while filling the pipe with shredded tobacco, he said slowly:
"No matter how much the Donghua Empire expands, the final result will only be the emergence of another empire on which the sun never sets, similar to your British Empire. No matter how strong the Donghua Empire is, it will not be stupid enough to challenge more than three industrial countries with a complete national defense heavy industry system at the same time.
Since the strong rise of the Donghua Empire is stepping on the shoulders of you British to reach the top step by step, this means that the British Empire, the former world hegemon, will not be a third-rate weak country from now on. Therefore, Mr. Churchill, you better recognize the reality, and stop fiddling with the little scheming in your heart, no one is stupid these days. ”
Hoover sat on the couch with his eyebrows lowered and his face was so flat that he couldn't tell what he was thinking about at this time.
Hearing Stalin's words so bluntly, Churchill's face turned from iron blue to pale, and he stared at Stalin for a long time, Fang took a long breath, and then spit it out deeply.
"Without the British Empire, the Allied Powers would cease to be Allied Powers!" Churchill calmly swept his gaze around the faces of Stalin and Hoover, and said indifferently.
