Charles. Forbes smiled wryly and glanced at the emaciated President of the United States: "Mr. President, with all due respect, we have no strength to defend Iceland and Greenland ○ Prime Minister Gill and Secretary of the Navy Pound believe that the first line of defense to defend Canada should be placed on the islands of Newfoundland and Labrador. ”

"Can you hold there?" Roosevelt asked anxiously.

Admiral Forbes shook his head: "No, we need the help of the United States." ”

"How many troops can we send?" Ross turned his head to look at Admiral Marshall. Marshall hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "The United States now has enough ground troops, and there is no problem with how many they want, but the strength of the army aviation is limited, and there are not enough airfields in Newfoundland and Labrador. ”

"We can quickly build ten or more large military airfields." Forbes hurriedly said.

Churchill had already given him instructions to bring in as many air forces from the United States as possible to defend Canada. As for the ground forces, they are not needed for the time being, and if there is no air superiority, the Germans will not risk landing in Canada after crossing more than 1,000 kilometers of ice. So, the key to defending Canada is also air power. But the air power of the United States and Free Britain was not unlimited, and it was impossible to keep the east coast of the United States and Canada airtight. Therefore, only the most critical areas can be protected. In other words, some of the less important areas will become outcasts......

Of course, Roosevelt understood the thoughts of Churchill and Free Britain, and the current war situation was tight, and they were also afraid of becoming cannon fodder for the United States or being abandoned by the United States after being used by the United States≤ so they pinched their eyebrows, sighed, and said to Admiral Arnold: "The Army Air Force must do everything possible to draw forces to Canada." He paused and said, "Let's transfer all the planes on the West Coast to Canada." ”

"But President, the Hawaiian Islands are still in Japanese hands...... MacArthur suddenly interjected, "and it is very likely that they will send troops to attack the West Coast to cooperate with the Germans." ”

"No, no, the Japanese are already taking care of themselves, and the Chinese will soon attack Korea." Roosevelt picked up a briefing from the U.S. Embassy in Wuhan on his desk and waved it: "Every day, dozens of trains full of soldiers and munitions are heading north along the Jinpu Line and the Pinghan Line‖ and Luo Yaoguo, chief of the Chinese General Staff, has personally gone north to supervise the war." ”

"But the Japanese should know that they can't defeat China, and only by helping Germany defeat us can Japan be saved." MacArthur argued.

Roosevelt sneered, and the corners of his mouth showed a bit of mockery, "That's what you soldiers think, not the politicians who control the country, even if the Japanese emperor understands these truths." He also had to put all his strength on North Korea, just as I had to defend Bermuda. Speaking of this, Roosevelt glanced at Chief of Naval Operations Leahy, who was sitting next to him, and was just about to ask how many planes the U.S. Navy could draw out, when there was a knock on the door of his office.

"Mr. President, Harry. The Hopkins delegation sent a telegram. Colonel Caton handed the president a yellow telegraph full of letters.

Roosevelt put on his reading glasses and looked at it carefully, with a hesitant look on his face: "Harry. Hopkins met with China's Marshal Luo Yaoguo in Beiping, China...... And that Russian empress! The president frowned slightly, "Luo Yaoguo still insists that the future world should be led by China, the United States, and Germany, and refuses to join our side in the war against Germany, but agrees to sign an alliance treaty with the United States against Japan." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at British Admiral Forbes, whose face was somewhat gloomy. "The condition is that the United States and China issue a joint statement ← the United States does not take any position on Australia."

Hearing this condition, Admiral Forbes sighed softly, saying that the free Britain clinging to Australia's suzerainty is nothing more than an attitude of not bowing to fascism, and does not expect the Chinese to spit out this rich continent of more than 7.6 million square kilometers.

Roosevelt took a sip of coffee and continued: "In addition, he also handed us some data on China's atomic bomb test and the German P-35 missile, and Luo Yaoguo also revealed that the people who flew the P-35 missile to fight against us were all Japanese kamikaze!" ”

"These crazy people!" Several whispers of curses rang out in the office at the same time. Roosevelt shook his head, and continued: "Zhou E, the leader of GC International and China G, has made a very interesting suggestion. He wanted to recruit volunteers in China in the name of China and come to the Americas to help us fight the war. Mr. Hopkins believes that this move could lead to a rupture in Sino-German relations, and recommends that we accept it and provide funding and equipment for it. What do you guys think? Roosevelt put down the newspaper -- got off his reading glasses -- and looked up at the crowd.

"I think so," MacArthur was the first to speak, agreeing, puffing on his cigarette, pondering it and then saying, "We have no shortage of ordinary infantry and artillery, but we can hire some of the personnel of the air force and armored corps, and it is better to hire retired personnel who have participated in the anti-Soviet war and the Western European campaign." ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult." Marshall shook his head: "The Chinese did not demobilize their army on a large scale, and their armored corps and air force are still expanding. Chinese GCD can't get much, at most it's just a gesture. So this suggestion is of little value, so don't do it, so as not to offend the Chinese Nationalist Government. ”

Marshall's is justified to a certain extent, if the United States provides funds to GCD to poach people in the Chinese National Defense Force, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble.

"Sir Forbes, what do you think about this?" Ross saw that Forbes, the representative of Free Britain, looked like he was about to speak, so he asked a question.

Forbes hesitated, but replied: "Mr. President, it is always a good idea for China to recruit volunteers to help us fight, and we should not refuse. However, I think they can play a greater role in the world anti-fascist war, such as opening up a second anti-fascist war battlefield in Africa or the Middle East. ”

"Africa and the Middle East?" Ross lamb lowered his head, thought for a while, and smiled with a smile: "This is a good way, since they are important members of the world anti-fascist camp, of course they should play a greater role." ”

……

Beiping Shuncheng Palace, which is the office space shared by the Central Headquarters of China G and GC International Headquarters, is also the residence of some of the leaders of China G and GC International. On the edge of the pond in the back garden of this palace, a beautifully decorated two-story Chinese-style building has just been newly built, and the small building sits on the north and faces south. Facing the garden full of exotic flowers and plants, and a pool of clear water on the side, the environment is very elegant ♀, and it is the place where Comrade Krusskaya, President of GC International, is recuperating and working, although this great woman has been replaced with an incurable disease, but the revolutionary leader, who knows that her time is short, still devotes all her remaining energy to the important work of guiding the world revolution.

This afternoon, several of the leading leaders of the GC International came to this small building, first to ask the doctor who was treating Kruskaya about the leader's illness, and after obtaining the doctor's consent, they would go up to the second floor of the small building to report to the revolutionary leader who was sick about the latest situation of the world revolution. Cruzkaya, who was visibly emaciated, leaned back on a soft couch and listened quietly, seemingly expressionless. It was only after Zhou E came to the end of the report that she tried to squeeze out a smile and asked with difficulty: "Comrade Elai, the main enemy of the world revolution now is fascism, especially the German fascists and the Russian fascists, and helping the United States to defeat these two fascist countries is the main mission of GC International at this stage. ”

Zhou Elai nodded and replied: "Yes, we are now doing everything possible to promote China to join the world anti-fascist camp, and GC International and China G have done everything they can for this." ”

Kruzkaya smiled: "That's right, China is the only way for the world's anti-fascist camp to win." As long as China joins the side of the world's forces of justice. Only the anti-fascist war could be won. At this point, the revolutionary leader suddenly coughed vigorously a few times. Taking a breath, he said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that the revolutionary cause had just taken a little turn, and my body collapsed, and it seems that the world revolution in the future can only rely on the Chinese comrades." She pointed to Bukharin and Zhukov, who were holding tears, sighed leisurely, and said to Zhou Elai: "Comrade Bukharin is the author of "GC Doctrine ABC" and a famous theoretician. He has a good study of Marxist economics; Zhukov is a rare military talent. In the future, comrades can make good use of them, and I believe that it will be beneficial to the world revolution and the cause of the Central G. ”

This sounded a bit of a lonely meaning, Zhou Elai and Mao ZD hurriedly nodded in agreement. Kruskaya nodded slightly. And he said: "E, zd, what do you think of the Americans' request to open up a second battlefield?" Is it possible for the GC International Army to launch an offensive against the German and Russian fascists? ”

Zhou Elai and Mao Zd glanced at each other, and their faces showed an embarrassed expression at the same time. Zhou Elai explained: "Comrade Krusskaya, now the main energy of the Kuomintang is attracted by Japan, and it has temporarily relaxed its attention to India, and in order to provide us with 25 divisions of cannon fodder, they also sold us a large number of weapons and equipment at a discount, and we have used these weapons and equipment to fully arm 30 GC international divisions, plus the original army, our regular army in India has reached 65 divisions!" In terms of troops, it is almost close to Gandhi's puppet army. Therefore, our plan is to take advantage of the fact that imperialism is busy with the world war to liberate the whole of India first. ”

"Oh," Kruskaya seemed a little surprised, she looked at Zhou Elai with a puzzled expression, Zhou Elai hurriedly gave Zhukov a look, Zhukov stepped forward and gave a military salute to Cruskaya, explaining: "Comrade Kruskaya, the proposal to settle India first was discussed by the GC International Military Committee. In fact, during this period, the Indian reactionaries were also preparing for a war to destroy the revolutionary forces, and after China's Marshal Chiang Kai-shek became the chief adviser of the Indian puppet army, the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces sent a large number of military advisers to India to help train and expand the army. At present, the Indian puppet army has replenished the losses in the early stage, and the total strength has recovered to more than 1 million! If we throw our forces into Africa or the Middle East to attack the German and Russian fascists at this time, the Indian puppet army will take the opportunity to destroy us. ”

"I see." Kruzkaya muttered under her breath, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face. In fact, her greatest ideal is to rebuild the Soviet Union, and in order to achieve this goal, the only way to eliminate is the defeat of German fascism, so that the Russian Romanov dynasty, which followed Germany's declaration of war on the United States, will naturally fall...... But Zhong G seems to have other plans.

"How are we going to explain to the United States?" At this time, Bukharin asked again.

Zhou Elai smiled and said: "In fact, the crusade against the Gandhi authorities is to open up a second battlefield, and the Gandhi authorities pursue a pro-German and pro-Russian position, and not long ago, they also collaborated with the White Russian army to encircle and suppress the Soviet Red Army?" And now we want to send troops to open up a second battlefield and pass through their territory, they naturally do not allow it, isn't this on the side of the fascists?

Of course, at the same time as the crusade against the Indian fascist Gandhi. We will still send some comrades to Africa to mobilize the African people against the rule of the German fascists and the Italian fascists. ”

"What about Persia and Russia?" Kruzkaya looked at Zhou Elai with eager eyes: "There are still our comrades in Russia, and there are also underground organizations in Persia with GCD, and if these forces are fully used, they will definitely be able to shake the reactionary rule of that prostitute!" ”

"This ......" Hearing Krusskaya's suggestion, several people in the room looked at each other∫ not to mention how influential the Bolsheviks in Russia still had, let's just say who is the world in this Beiping City, and they can't provoke the Russian Empress at the moment!

Just when a few people didn't know what reason to prevaricate, the stairs of the small building were suddenly trampled on. Then a tall white woman pushed the door open and walked in. It turned out to be Iba Luli, a member of the GC International Executive Committee, and the Spanish revolutionary now had a few tears in his eyes! I don't know what's going on?

"What's wrong?" Zhou Elai asked.

Baba Luli endured her grief and said: "Comrade Stalin, he ...... He committed suicide! ”

"What! Stalin committed suicide? ”

There were several gasps in the room, and several leaders of the world revolution jumped to their feet, and their chairs rattled.

"Comrade Iba Luli, what the hell is going on?" Zhou Elai's eyes were red, and two lines of tears remained.

Iba Luli looked at Zhou Elai with complicated eyes, and said coldly: "Wang Ming and Comrade Khrushchev jointly sent an urgent telegram, saying that Comrade Stalin committed suicide by taking poison this morning, and potassium cyanide was found in a black handbag he was carrying. And his suicide note. In his suicide note, he said that he had failed the expectations of Comrade Lenin and the trust of the people of the Soviet Union. It has brought immeasurable losses to the cause of the world revolution, so there is no face to ...... again"

"No more."

Kruzkaya sighed in a low voice and interrupted Ibaraluli: "The announcement is issued, so let's say that Comrade Stalin died of illness after working hard for the revolutionary cause." Bring all his family members to Beiping, settle them well, let them live an ordinary life, and stop getting involved in politics.

And also. Let Wang Ming transport Comrade Stalin's body to Beiping and store it with Lenin's body (the body of the great mentor was also transported to the ice cellar of the Shuncheng Wangfu in Beiping along with the Soviet Red Army). Don't bury me when I'm dead...... When the Soviet Union is revived, the bodies of Lenin, Stalin, and other Bolshevik party leaders will be transported back to Moscow for burial. ”

……

"Text, Stalin is dead."

When Luo Yaoguo learned the news, he was having dinner with the Russian Empress, and Natalie hurriedly came in from outside and told them the shocking news.

"How did you die?" Luo Yaoguo secretly glanced at the Russian empress who was snickering, and asked in a deep voice.

"It is said that he worked day and night for the cause of the world revolution, and finally died of illness." Natalie also stared at the Russian Empress with suspicious eyes.

"It's really impermanent," Luo Yaoguo sighed with emotion, and asked casually: "Death is death, by the way, Natalie, send a message of condolence in my name." Although he was once an enemy, he still admired this man very much, and if it wasn't for the bad luck of meeting me, he would definitely have built the Soviet Union into one of the best powers in the world. ”

"Really?" Anastasia glanced at Luo Yaoguo and muttered in a low voice: "As long as they do that, it's not a matter of time before the country dies!" ”

Luo Yaoguo also ignored the empress, but said to himself: "Stalin is dead, Kruskaya is terminally ill, and it is estimated that it will not last long, Bukharin is a nerd, and Zhukov and Khrushchev are too shallow...... It seems that GC International is going to be completely controlled by them, and now they can always make a career, right? I don't know who their first target really is? ”

"There is news that China and G plan to issue a call to resist Germany and aid the United States, and also plan to form a volunteer army to participate in the war in North America." Natalie followed Luo Yaoguo's words and analyzed: "Now GCD is holding high the banner of anti-fascism, and the primary target should be Japan, and North Korea may also want to get involved." In addition, Her Majesty's Russia could also be their target. ”

Luo Yaoguo picked up the wine glass and turned it slightly, shook his head and said, "Japan is an island country, so it's okay if we don't give it to them; North Korea is just a coalition government, and Kim Koo has long had a group of outlaws as sworn friends, and it is impossible to prevent terrorist activities when he is in a hurry, and he can't control them at all; Russia is even more out of the picture...... I think it's most likely India! Old Jiang Keyou is busy. ”
