"Hehe, my Li Desheng likes to make friends with heroes from all walks of life in the world!"

Li Desheng nodded lightly, and said with an indifferent smile: "It's just that Commander Cheng, you have also seen that I have four walls here, and I don't even have a decent set of hospitality furniture, so I don't know what deal Commander Cheng wants to talk about with me, a poor bastard?" ”

"A new world war is about to begin."

Cheng Gong was not afraid of scaring Li Desheng, and said directly to the point: "We have been secretly developing overseas over the years, so we have a more thorough understanding of the development and changes in international politics. Brother Shengsheng, although you are a genius and have the appearance of a dragon, you have been staying in China all these years and have rarely had the opportunity to contact the international community, so I think your understanding of international politics is more or less lacking in some necessary understanding, right? ”

Li Desheng nodded lightly with a smile in his eyes, and motioned for Cheng Gong to continue. In my heart, I was secretly wondering what the young PLAN Pacific Fleet commander in front of me meant by the phrase "from the dragon's appearance".

"At present, Germany and Italy have established a war source in Europe, and Dongying has already built another war source in Asia!"

Cheng Gong didn't care what Li Desheng was thinking, his expression turned to quite serious and said: "After World War I, in order to punish and weaken Germany, the Entente forced Germany to sign the unequal Treaty of Versailles.

As a result, Germany paid a large amount of reparations, and lost one-seventh of its land and one-tenth of its population at one time. At that time, Lenin said that this was France's exploitation of Germany, which led to very acute and great social contradictions in Germany.

Out of traditional policy considerations, Britain hopes to maintain a relatively strong and economically self-reliant Germany in order to maintain the balance of power in Europe and prevent France from becoming a dominant player, thus affecting British interests in Europe. The United States, on the other hand, wanted to establish and benefit from a European system that would guarantee lasting peace as soon as possible, and at the same time advocated war claims against Germany.

The purposes of the three main donors, Britain, France and the United States, are different and even contradictory. Although all three countries eventually made some concessions and reached a consensus, the result was that all sides compromised and none of them fully achieved their goals.

Under this premise, Germany was not completely weakened, but it was also not appeased as it should be. Therefore, we judge, this result clearly portends a factor of instability for both the victorious Entente and the defeated Central Powers, and indeed for the whole of Europe and the whole world.

The two global capitalist world economic crises that broke out in 1929 and 1937 intensified and exposed the contradictions at home and abroad in the capitalist countries. Due to the uneven development of the economic and political forces of the capitalist countries, the industrial development of Germany and Dongying has become more prominent, and the economic strength has increased significantly, while Britain, France, and the United States have successively experienced stagnation and even retrogression.

In order to extricate themselves from the economic, political and social crisis, the three imperialist-ruled countries of Germany, Italy, and Dongying, embarked on the road of militarization and development of the national economy. Moreover, politically it has become increasingly imperialist, thus gradually forming two major political and military blocs: the United States, Britain, France, and Germany, Italy, and Japan.

As a result of the outbreak of the economic crisis, the capitalist powers desperately carved up the colonies and exported dumped industrial products. However, due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was unable to develop armaments and had no colonies, and the life of the people was in dire straits. This was the focus and characteristic of the propaganda of the fascist Nazi Party in power with a mustache, which made both the German people and the bourgeois landlord class choose the mustache.

After the three fascist governments of Germany, Italy, and Dongying came to power, two wars in Europe and Asia were formed, and foreign aggression and expansion began. In October 1922, Mussolini's Italian Fascist Party, in order to establish a 'Greater Italian Empire' across the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Balkans, frantically pursued a policy of aggression and expansion, conquering Libya in 1931, invading Ethiopia in 1935, and intervening in Spain with German armed forces in 1936.

After the German Nazi Party came to power in January 1933, it immediately formulated an expansion plan, intending to first establish the "Greater German Reich" in Central Europe, then defeat France and the Soviet Union, seize hegemony on the European continent, and finally expand overseas, defeat Britain and the United States, and dominate the world. In order to break the Versailles system, Germany withdrew from the Geneva Disarmament Conference and the League of Nations in October of the same year, and in 1935 tore up the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles on the limitation of German armaments, increased military spending, implemented universal compulsory military service, and openly expanded the army.

In March 1936, it announced the abrogation of the Locarno Convention, sent troops to occupy the Rhineland Demilitarized Zone, and signed the "German-Italian Axis Agreement" with Italy in October of the same year, forming the Berlin-Rome axis. Germany and Italy became the birthplaces of war in Europe.

On June and July 1927, the Dongying Cabinet convened the Oriental Conference successively, and decided to first seize 'Manchuria' and Mongolia and then take China, and then conquer Asia and dominate the world. In September 1931, Dongying launched the '918' Incident against China, seized the four northeastern provinces of China, and withdrew from the League of Nations in March 1933. In March 1936, after the Hirota Hiroki Cabinet, which had marked the establishment of the fascist regime in the East, came to power, in August it established the strategic goal of guaranteeing its status as the East Asian continent and expanding into the South Seas at the Five-Prime Ministers' Conference, and listed China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and France as imaginary enemy countries. At this point, Dongying became the source of the Far East War. ”

As he said this, Cheng Gong took out two Havana cigars from his tactical vest pocket and handed one to Li Desheng.

Li Desheng waved his hand again and again and said with a smile: "You are too expensive, I can't afford to smoke, and I can't get used to it, so it's better to smoke my own." ”

The two lit a cigarette and began to swallow the clouds.

Li Desheng smoked a cigarette while pondering for a long time, then nodded and said: "The point of view that you just mentioned that Europe and Asia are the two sources of war is very reasonable and insightful. The essence of imperialism is aggression, plunder, and expansion! ”

"That's it." Cheng Gong took a light bite of his cigar, nodded his head repeatedly, and then continued: "On November 25, 1936, Germany and Dongying signed the Anti-Comintern Pact. On November 6 of the following year, Italy acceded to the agreement, and the imperialist and fascist aggressor bloc was thus initially formed.

However, in order to prevent the flames of war from burning on their own heads, the Western powers led by the United States, Britain and France implemented a policy of appeasement at the expense of weak and small countries in exchange for their own peace! On March 7, 1936, German Chancellor Mustache brazenly tore up the Treaty of Versailles, and 35,000 German troops were ordered to enter the Rhine Demilitarized Zone.

At that time, the German army was far behind the French army stationed on the other side of the Rhine in terms of both mathematics and quality, but the French government showed cowering in the face of the mustache's challenge, and the British government adopted a 'detached' attitude of turning a blind eye, and the mustache's first attempt to challenge the Treaty of Verhan was victorious. Subsequently, the whole process of the German invasion of Austria went surprisingly smoothly, so that the mustache could figure out the hole cards of the 'appeasementists'.

In the same way, Dongying's aggression against the four northeastern provinces of China on September 18, 1931 was also not prevented and sanctioned by the international community because appeasement was rampant in the League of Nations, and the 'Lugou Bridge Incident' that broke out on July 7, 1937 was a pretext for the Dongying fascists to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China. However, the international community still turns a blind eye!

In particular, in order to seek profits, the US imperialists, the capitalist chaebols, not only did not stop Dongying's aggression against our country, but instead wantonly purchased Dongying treasury bonds, provided Dongying with a large amount of scrap steel and rubber, and disguised their funding for Dongying to accelerate the pace of war aggression against China.

However, the large amount of steel and rubber provided by the United States has been turned into warships in Dongying, and these warships are just to protect the Dongying mainland? Of course not! The Dongying Combined Naval Fleet is a powerful navy that advocates offense. The real use of the Navy is not self-preservation, but attack! ”

Li Desheng slowly took out another paper cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, lit it at the cigarette butt, and muttered to himself while spitting smoke: "Dongying's navy is obviously impossible to use to attack our country, nor can it be the Soviet Union, so their attack direction can only be Nanyang ......"

"Brother Victorious is really discerning! Admire, admire! Cheng Gong gave Li Desheng a sycophant without a trace, and continued seriously: "Brother Desheng is right, the Dongying Navy can only go south to invade Southeast Asian countries to plunder the rich oil, rubber and various rich mineral resources there, and it is possible to support the huge supply needs of the Dongying Navy fleet!" ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Gong paused for a while, looking at Li Desheng and not continuing.

Li Desheng smoked a paper cigarette and said slowly: "Dongying's southward invasion of Southeast Asia will inevitably touch the colonial interests of capitalist countries such as the United States, Britain, and France in these regions. This irreconcilable contradiction can only be resolved by means of war in the end. When Dongying opens up the main battlefield in the Pacific, the troops invested by Dongying in China will be slowly withdrawn.

At this time, it is the best time for us to recover the lost territory in North China and the Northeast! Moreover, in order to reduce the pressure on them in the Pacific theater, the United States, Britain, France and other countries will definitely persuade us to speed up the strategic counteroffensive to regain lost territory, and they will even provide us with various weapons and equipment in order to allow us to drag down more Dongying troops. Hehe, they pay money, we send people, let Dongying fight on both sides, Dongying will definitely lose! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Desheng looked at Cheng Gong with deep meaning in his eyes, and asked with a smile: "The deal that Commander Cheng said wants to provide military assistance to our Eighth Route Army from now on?" ”

"Brother Victory, if you say that you will see the outside world, it is cooperation!" Cheng Gong said quite seriously: "Your army has the best soldiers and commanders, but the weapons and equipment in your hands are really lacking, and this aspect is the strongest point of our PLAN!" Therefore, I hope to cooperate sincerely with your army to resist foreign insults! ”
