Seeing that Yangzi Oil Company retreated this time, Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Yangzi Oil Company would continue to argue with the United States on the issue of Mexico, the background of this company was too complicated, and the industry of Yangzi Consortium was sometimes no different from China's national assets, because Yang Chao's guy was obviously not a person who could understand Westerners' thinking, and he would often donate huge wealth to the country, and his property would not be divided from the state, and the country's property would not be separated from his.

If Yang Chao knew that the Americans saw him like this, he would not agree with it, the reason why he donated those gold was because the gold was of no use to him at all, and it had strategic value when handed over to the country, and it was just a bunch of wealth in his own hands at best, as for whether this wealth was denominated in gold or paper money, it made no difference in Yang Chao's opinion, it was just a credit symbol and an accounting unit.

Roosevelt obviously did not think that Yang Chao's retreat was just to stimulate the Mexicans fiercely and make them feel the shame that went deep into the blood, and the descendants of this lazy Latin nation had to stimulate them fiercely, otherwise it would be really difficult to mobilize their enthusiasm.

Even the best performing French among the Latin peoples are actually quite lazy, the French work much less hours than the Germans, but they are still not satisfied, and often go to the streets, and the same is true of the Spanish and Italians, probably because the Latin peoples are not as disciplined as the Norman descendants of northwestern Europe.

Yang Chao is not a racist, he does not believe that any race is inherently inferior, he thinks that it is just a lack of training, and culture itself is also a kind of training, a kind of training taught by words and deeds.

That is, the East Asian peoples known for their industriousness in later generations, when they have not received the corresponding training, they still cannot adapt to the requirements of industrial civilization for labor, such as the British first saw the Chinese during the Qing Dynasty, their impression was lazy, obviously the Chinese peasants in the agricultural civilization have not yet developed orderly work habits; The Japanese themselves describe the Japanese peasants during the Meiji Restoration, saying that they spent the money they earned today and immediately spent it, and had no idea of saving money.

However, the East Asian nation has a sense of collective cooperation, and the Chinese have been fighting against the great rivers since ancient times, so they can often adapt to the state of more than 100,000 laborers working at the same time.

Therefore, the development speed of the Chinese in infrastructure construction in later generations is extremely rapid, in addition to the economic development to that stage, the emergence of a huge infrastructure market, but also has a lot to do with China's ability to cooperate in such large-scale operations, the Indians who occupy the world's best Ganges Plain, are relatively lacking in this ability, because only a few times in their history have fought with the big rivers, most of the time they are allowed to the Indus and Ganges rivers to flood naturally.

Yang Chao believes that the Mexicans are indeed angered by the United States, but politics cannot be solved with anger, President Cárdenas was forced to start negotiations with the United States on the issue of maritime demarcation, the Americans did not entangle with Mexico on this issue, nor did they want to take advantage of the Mexicans, the two countries basically took their respective coasts as the benchmark, divided the Gulf of Mexico equally, and there was no more high seas in the Gulf of Mexico in the future, and they were all territorial waters of the United States and Mexico.

Of course, the Americans still have to take into account the interests of their white compatriots in Europe, and they promise that the Gulf of Mexico is a free navigation area, and they will never cause any trouble to freedom of navigation because it is zoned as US territorial waters.

The Europeans are at war, and where they want to care about the affairs of the Americas, it is tantamount to acquiescing in the division of maritime interests between the United States and Mexico, and the issue of territorial sea expansion, forming the first precedent that challenges the traditional concept of territorial waters.

Just when Asahi and Japan were facing off in East Asia, and the United States and Mexico were competing with each other, Adolf was finally ready to attack France.

Since the end of the Polish campaign on October 6 last year, Nazi Germany has been preparing for the battle against France, Britain and France have always hid behind the Maginot Line, like a little girl, looking at the German Wehrmacht on the opposite side shyly, and have never stepped out of the defense line.

Later generations commented that Britain and France were conniving at the Nazis and hoped that the Nazis would directly go to the Eastern Front to start a war with Soviet Russia. This statement seems to be reasonable, but it is too insulting to the IQ of the senior British and French generals, their consistent strategy and clarity about Germany, even if it was not clear before, after the First World War, they also figured it out, they are very sure that the Nazis will never choose to fight on two fronts, and will definitely solve their worries before they will attack the next strong fall, that is to say, they are now at war with Britain and France, it is impossible to attack Soviet Russia before the end of the war in Western Europe, Stalin's judgment, It was this that made him passive at the beginning of the war, and Britain and France, especially Britain, which was the most skilled in playing modern politics, were better able to judge this motive of the Nazis.

Therefore, the reason why Britain and France hid behind the Maginot Line was not because they were stupid enough to expect Germany to attack Soviet Russia, otherwise they would not have declared war, abandoned Poland, and waited for the Nazis to annex Poland and sit back and watch the Nazis and Soviet Russia dog-eat-dog, wouldn't it be more painful, and they would not be guilty of declaring war on Germany.

The reason why Britain and France hid behind the Maginot Line was because they believed in this line very much, believing that it was an impossible line of defense, and the French probably did not consult the Chinese, and the ancient Chinese once thought that the Great Wall was also impenetrable, and the result was a lesson in blood and tears again and again.

The British and French decided that the Germans would not be able to break through the Maginot Line, so they hid there with peace of mind, waited for the Germans to attack, and then they shot the Germans in front of the Maginot Line like trench warfare in World War I, just as the Germans used Maxim machine guns to massacre British soldiers.

There is another important reason, that is, Britain and France were frightened in the First World War, they can no longer afford the casualties of the First World War, if they fight another war, Britain and France have to sacrifice a whole generation, then do they have a future?

As a result, they passively waited for the Germans to attack behind the Maginot Line, but the Germans were not fools, and their military commanders were perhaps much smarter than the British and French, so they chose the classic Ardennes Forest Breakthrough, which passed through dense primeval forests at the junction of the Maginot Line and Belgian territory, and appeared behind the Anglo-French troops deployed on the Franco-Belgian border.

On 10 May, the Germans began their offensive with air strikes on airfields and military targets in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, and Guderian's Panzer Corps crossed the Ardennes Forest into French territory, then outflanked the British and French troops in the direction of the coastline, and the British, French and Belgian troops retreated in great strides until they were driven to Dunkirk.

But Adolf nervously asked him to stop the attack, and handed over the Anglo-French-Belgian forces in Dunkirk to Goering's air force to solve, history still hasn't changed, the Dunkirk retreat still happened, the British mobilized all the ships that could be used, braved the bullets and bullets of the Nazi air force, and forced the coalition troops left in Dunkirk to withdraw safely to the British mainland, creating a retreat miracle in human history second only to China's Long March.

At this time, less than a month after the start of the war, Britain and France made a great rout that had not been done in four years of the First World War, and the defeat was certain.

The Nazi army shifted direction and continued its offensive towards France.

On June 8, the Nazi mechanized corps arrived on the banks of the Seine, and on June 10, the French government moved out of Paris and moved to Tours, Italy declared war on France, intending to join the war before France surrendered to get a piece of the pie, but the superior Italian army was defeated by the French army, but the French army entered Italian territory, and the French army was always in Italy before France surrendered.

On June 13, the French government had to declare Paris undefended, on June 14, the French government led to Bordeaux, on June 17, Guderian's armored corps arrived at the Swiss border, cutting off the French army's retreat to Switzerland, and on June 18, the French government announced the cessation of resistance.

The decision of the French government made the British extremely panicked, they did not expect France to be so unbeaten, let alone that the French would be so spineless.

At first, they wanted to sit and watch France and the Nazis bleed each other, and when they were almost done, the warriors of the British Empire were coming in to pick the fruit, and at that time, the French diplomats urged the British to send troops into France as soon as possible, and the British were a strong delay, refusing to increase the army for various reasons.

Well, now the French don't want to play this game, the British are in a hurry, all kinds of lobbying and all kinds of promises in Bordeaux, but France is unmoved, they don't want to bleed in plain white, they are all like this, most of the territory of France has been lost, even if the British can send an expeditionary force as soon as possible as promised, and fight on French soil for a few years, the blood of the French will be drained, why do they repair the Maginot Line, isn't it just to shed less blood, now that this extravagant hope has gone bankrupt, it is still a fart, to fight, let the British fight themselves.

Although it is true that the British have suffered the bitter fruit of their own cleverness, the surrender of the French will leave a permanent and unwashed shame on their history, just as the Chinese will always be haunted by the destruction of the country twice by nomadic cavalry.

Just when the British diplomat, with contempt for the French and worry about the imminent crisis facing the British Empire, boarded the plane on the return flight with a sad face, and the plane slowly rowed down the runway, a middle-aged French officer who suddenly saw him off, a fish jumped, rushed into the hatch that the British had not yet closed, and flew to England with the British plane.

This man's name was Charles de Gaulle. Please enter the text (to be continued.) )
