On August 4, the 14th year of Zhongxing, the first 10,000 people in China were empty, and the time to go to work was different from the previous time, on the day of the start of the Olympic Games, Chen Shao specially announced that there would be a day off all over the country.

Today, a revolutionary high-tech technology is also being unfolded before the eyes of the world. Live TV broadcast, live broadcast of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. In the past, the appearance of television was like a myth, which opened people's horizons, and now there is a live broadcast. Ordinary people may not know what this means, but whether in the military or civilian fields, it is a very important sign of progress in the field of science.

Thanks to the help of spy satellites, otherwise it would be very difficult to achieve live broadcasting, which can also be said to be impossible with current technology.

Of course, Chen Shao didn't come up with this to show off, this function had already appeared when the spy satellite came out, but now he is just using it in the civilian field. At the moment, he didn't care what the delegates of various countries would associate with when they saw the live broadcast, the times are advancing, and now China no longer has to hide certain technologies, and can take them out generously.

The opening ceremony was not flashy, and Chen Shao did not make any mess. It was only for him and Roosevelt to go up and make a brief speech, followed by the entry of the athletes, and then the announcement of the opening of the Games, and the so-called opening ceremony was over.

Although the opening ceremony was brief, as long as Chen Shao appeared, it could arouse the atmosphere of the scene. When the audience in the main stadium saw Chen Shao's figure appear on the big screens on both sides, they let out earth-shattering cheers.

Chen Shao used more than ten years of practical actions to raise his status among the people to a point comparable to that of the sages, and now some people have associated him with the three emperors and five emperors of ancient times.

Who freed the people from poverty, oppression, hunger, and cold, who allowed the people to take care of the old and educate the young, who made the people regain their self-confidence and self-esteem, who made the people raise their heads again, and who let the people live in an era that they could never have dreamed of before.

As the material standard of living is getting higher and higher, and the spiritual life is gradually enriching, when all hardships no longer appear in front of them. As long as you work hard, life will be better and better.

Everyone knows who brought them this kind of life, and when everyone is satisfied with the current life, they will be grateful to the person who brought them the good life they have now. Because the people of this era are very simple and hardworking, because they all understand how hard life is today.

At the opening ceremony, Chen Shao didn't say much, just said a little bit of competitive spirit and willingness for peace. And Roosevelt said very little, basically similar to what Chen Shao said.

After the opening ceremony, Roosevelt rushed to the airport because he received a shocking news that he wanted to go back immediately.

Seeing Roosevelt in a hurry, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Shao's mouth. Without thinking about it, he knew the reason why Roosevelt was in such a hurry. Today it is not only Roosevelt who is shocked, but the whole world is shocked. It was not China that was shocked, but because of Germany.

Just this morning, the world was stunned by the news that a mysterious fleet, flying the flag of the German Navy, was now passing through the Strait of Malacca. And the strength of this fleet, on the telegram handed to Roosevelt, ended with a sentence that was very powerful.

Eight battleships, two aircraft carriers, plus troop carriers and cruisers, as well as destroyers, formed a huge fleet with a total number of triple-digits. This is a sea force that can make all countries tremble, and if this huge fleet is Germany's, as it is shown on the flag, then Germany's naval power can be close to the current Britain, even if it is not much weaker. In this way, the naval superiority of the Allies in Europe would cease to exist.

Battleships have always been the focus of attention of countries around the world, and these eight battleships that seemed to jump out of the stones made everyone's hearts tremble violently. These are not ordinary senseless battleships, but all super senseless ships, with a minimum displacement of 50,000 tons. The total tonnage of these eight battleships alone reached more than 400,000 tons, and with the addition of other warships, the total displacement was close to one million tons, what a terrible force. At this time, there are only a few countries in the world with a total naval tonnage of more than one million tons. What's more, the warships in this fleet look very new, and they are definitely not old ships. That's what makes people wary.

The Dutch, British and French did not dare to stop at all, and the German fleet swaggered through the Strait of Malacca.

Don't talk about the Netherlands, it's a soy sauce player through and through. Britain and France did not dare to stop the German fleet here at this moment, not only because of the strength of the German fleet, but also because the Olympic Games officially began. At the beginning, Chen Shao said that before the end of the Olympic Games, the world wants peace, and whoever dares to mess with it is an enemy of China. If this sentence had been said 20 years ago, no one would have been able to read a bird, but now China has to make the world scruple when it says this sentence.

Of course, there was another reason, that Britain was still undetermined to go to war with the Axis powers. Today, Britain is still presided over by Chamberlain, and when he agreed to establish the Allied organization, he hoped that there would be a group to compete with the Axis powers in Germany, so that the two sides could maintain a balance of power, scruple each other, and no friction would break out.

It was not that Chamberlain did not feel that the pace of war was approaching, but in his mind there was still an illusion that war could not break out in balance. For more than a year, the Axis countries have been very calm, which gives him a little hope for peace.

Today's news about the German fleet made him feel that he could not sleep. Because this balance has been broken, because with this fleet, Germany already has the strength to rival Britain at sea. And Britain's greatest reliance on Germany is the navy, and now that this advantage is gone, will Hitler still be calm? He didn't know the bottom of this answer.

At this time, it would take at least twenty days for the German fleet to reach German territory. In Chamberlain's eyes, when the Chinese Olympics are over, he will discuss whether to attack the German fleet returning to China, and then he will not offend China.

However, before Chamberlain could come up with a clue, Churchill hurried in. Facing his immediate boss, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, Churchill did not mean the slightest politeness.

"Your Excellency, this is the result of your policy of appeasement, which has allowed Germany to secretly develop such a maritime power. The British Empire's superiority is completely gone, and what are you hesitating about now, send our Royal Navy, together with the French fleet, and destroy the German fleet when it reaches the Suez Canal. Otherwise, when they return to Germany, we will be completely at a disadvantage. ”

At this time, it is no wonder that Churchill was in a hurry, this kind of thing should not have happened at all, but it was because of the damned policy of appeasement that Germany became stronger and stronger. If this decline is not reversed quickly, it is very likely that Germany will be able to take advantage of all opportunities. Now the only way to destroy this German fleet is to destroy it as much as possible, so that even if war breaks out, Britain will not be without a chance.

Hearing Churchill's words, Chamberlain was silent, he did not blame Churchill's tone and the meaning of blame in his words. Because he also regretted the appeasement policy he formulated at the beginning, and wanted to take care of all aspects, but in the end he couldn't take care of any of them.

"This is not easy to say, eight battleships of more than 50,000 tons, four of which were China's Kunlunshan-class battleships, and four German Bismarck-class battleships, such a force is absolutely difficult to defeat unless we gather all our capital ships and France. Even if we were to gather all our forces, we would have to lose a lot to defeat such a sea power. After a long silence in Churchill's expectant eyes, Chamberlain said: "Now that the Olympic Games have just begun, we will take the lead in launching a war, so that we will not only be charged with starting a war, but also offend China." Is this worth it?"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, do you still not understand? The German fleet suddenly appeared in the South China Sea, and in the Far East only China was capable of helping Germany build such a maritime power. China is not afraid of offending us, what else do we need to be afraid of? And all along, the ambiguous relationship between China and Germany has been well known, and I really can't think of anything to hesitate about. Churchill said.

"No, although the relationship between China and Germany is very good, as long as China has not joined the Axis powers, we cannot force China to the scene of truly standing with Germany. If China and Germany are really of the same mind, then why didn't China join the Axis powers, you must know that Germany has invited China no longer knows how many times, but China has rejected it every time. That's enough to say a lot. Chamberlain said. He no longer wanted to contend with China, but hoped that China would not help Germany.

"Does the prime minister still expect China to be on our side?" Churchill had a slight disdain for Chamberlain, but it was quickly hidden and not discovered by Chamberlain.

"I only hope that China and China will not help each other, and once we offend China, it will be fatal to us. Because once the two countries are united, the Soviet Union is very ambiguous, and India and the Southeast Asian colonies will all fall into the hands of China in a short time. "There were many worries, but Chamberlain was only worried about the safety of India, because India and China were too close to each other. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is obvious to all, which makes him have to think about this issue.

Even if Chamberlain didn't say this, Churchill understood it. But in Churchill's mind, China was a dormant tiger, which could strike a blow at Britain at any time. In his opinion, sooner or later he will have to face it, and he is not afraid, anyway, if China joins in, there will be a United States. Churchill was confident that if China joined the Axis, he would be able to persuade Roosevelt to join the Allies.

But will this idea in Churchill's mind become a reality? The answer is: absolutely not.
