Chapter 348: Peace Conference (2)
In fact, the U.S. Army at this time was not as fragile as Japan imagined, and after World War I, the United States began to embark on the line of hegemony, and what did it take to achieve hegemony? There is no doubt that it is an army, an invincible army.
Britain wanted to help Japan, but the purpose of his help to Japan was only to strengthen Japan's strength against the Eastern European Alliance, not to deal with the United States, after all, the United States was on the same side as Britain and France in the future war, and he had no reason or possibility to help the Eastern European Alliance and the Axis powers deal with him.
It is not difficult for the French president to understand the entanglement of the British prime minister, and he believes that if he were in the position of British prime minister, then it is estimated that he will be equally entangled. Of course, he was also one of the victims of the rise of the Eastern European Alliance and the Axis powers, and the reason why he was not as entangled as the British Prime Minister was because he did not have the strength to help Japan.
There is only one way to make Japan rise in the short term, and that is the naval route, and although France is also a naval power, it is still too far behind countries like Japan and the United Kingdom.
While the two were talking, the Japanese representative did not know when he came to their side, and the French president's eyes flashed slightly, and he hesitated to stand aside to make way for the Japanese representative, and the Japanese representative was slightly stunned, and then nodded very thankfully as if he understood something.
It's not that he doesn't want to bow, it's just that the bow is too large, Britain and France are also big countries, and their prime ministers and presidents are also in the spotlight here, and the Japanese representative doesn't want to be too deliberate and obvious here.
The British Prime Minister did not seem to expect the French president to do this, but the French president's actions helped the British Prime Minister to make a decision, although the rise of Japan is likely to affect the attitude of the United States towards Britain and France. But that doesn't matter. Because only a rising Japan has the power to contain the Eastern European alliance.
The content of the quiet conversation between the two was clear only to the three of them. The others can't see anything from their faces, after all, they are all top politicians in various countries, and if they can't even do it quietly, then it will be in vain for them to sit in this position.
Ernst naturally saw the action of the three of them talking, but he did not express any dissatisfaction or concern, smiled coldly and then motioned to Hitler to point at them, his attitude was full of disdain.
Ernst was disdainful, because the Eastern European Union was no longer the Czech principality, the Four-Power Alliance, it was a real behemoth. Not afraid of the behemoth of any organization or alliance.
Although it is not clear what the British Prime Minister said to Japan, the most unfortunate thing is that Britain is ready to help Japan, but what is it? Britain is not yet an opponent of Eastern Europe, so why should he think that he can help a Japan that is not as good as him? Of course, that might make Japan a bit stronger.
"Your Majesty Ernst, I have some concerns about your plans!"
Hitler had little to think about the conversation between England, France, and Japan, and he was concerned only with one thing, and that was a plan that Ernst had just proposed.
The Eastern European Alliance sent 300,000 troops to help Germany defend the shore defense, and Germany and Italy attacked France with all their might, and the Eastern European Alliance would not claim any of France. All he wants is Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the three Nordic countries, or to put it simply. What Ernst wanted was actually the right to go to sea.
Now there are two fleets in the Eastern European Alliance, the Far Eastern Fleet is naturally firmly blocked in the Sea of Japan by the Japanese Navy, and the other is the Baltic Fleet, but like the Far Eastern Fleet, it is also blocked in the Baltic Sea, and the reason for the blockade is because of Denmark.
There is only a little bit of access to the sea, and who can pass safely with hundreds of shore defense guns? It's not impossible to force it over, but how much combat power does the fleet still have in that way?
The Eastern European Union had a good relationship with Finland, but if it wanted to attack Denmark by land, if it was from Finland, it would be necessary to attack Sweden first, and then Norway.
Because of the geography of the Nordic countries, it is really not easy to take them, just like Moscow, Napoleon, or Germany! With its geographical advantage, how many formidable opponents did the Russian Empire defeat?
Therefore, a direct attack on Denmark from Germany may be the easiest route, although this road is also more difficult, because Germany is on one side, and he can threaten Denmark's security at any time, unless the Eastern European Union can completely control the Baltic Sea, so that the Eastern European Union reinforcements can come to Denmark from the sea.
"I know what you are worried about Monsieur Hitler, I, Ernst, have always been a man of his word, and I will not do anything to Germany until I take France, this is my promise!"
At this time, Ernst was very solemn, and he could not tolerate that he was not solemn, because if he could not persuade Hitler to attack France, then the next action could not be carried out at all, and if time continued to be delayed, the forces of Britain, France, the United States and Germany would gradually catch up with the Eastern European Alliance, how could he ensure the control of the situation at that time?
That is, now, even if Germany is given some benefits, Ernst is still confident that he will be able to eat Germany, and if it is allowed to develop for another five or ten years, who can guarantee which of Germany and the Eastern European Alliance will be the European hegemon at that time? And now, the European hegemony is very solid, and the Eastern European Union is very solid.
The words are very clear and very sincere, but this is not a game, this is a country's rise and fall, there is no room for the slightest sloppiness, Hitler did not say anything but nodded and said that he would think about it carefully. Such an attitude is very normal, and if Hitler had agreed directly, Ernst would have even guessed something.
When Hitler left, Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty Ernst, what is your purpose, just the hegemon of Eastern Europe?" ”
The words are very vague, but Mussolini's attitude is very obvious, the Axis and the Eastern European Alliance are only temporary allies, once Germany takes France, then it is very likely that the Eastern European Alliance and Germany will have a war in the future, because they are too close, too close.
Ernst did not answer Mussolini's words and did not know what to say, the meeting was about to begin, Ernst left the meeting room and began to prepare for the meeting, and the Japanese representative and the British Prime Minister were talking about the same at this time, and it was obvious that they should be more satisfied with each other.
The French president seemed to be worried about something, the American president's eyes flashed, Hitler's eyes sometimes showed a dangerous look and sometimes a little panicked, Ernst was confident, and Mussolini smiled wryly. (To be continued.) )
