Chapter 488: Armistice: Meeting of the Giants
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! The leaders of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union gathered in Hanjing to discuss the armistice. ”
“…… Listeners and friends, this station has just received the news that following the arrival of Hitler, the German Nazi Führer Hitler, General Eisenhower, the acting president of the United States, and Churchill, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, arrived in Hanking late yesterday and are currently ......"
"Audience friends, welcome to the special program on the armistice negotiations on Imperial Television. Behind me was Hanking International Airport, where Stalin, the supreme head of the Soviet state, was walking down the gangway of the plane......"
Immediately after the empire announced that it would hold a high-end armistice meeting of giants in Hanking, it set off a storm. Television, radio, newspapers and publications have reported one after another, and regard this as a small prosperous era.
The end of the war for many years is now imminent, and the successive visits of the defeated countries to China have made the people of the empire see that the empire is now strong and prosperous, and it has reached the point where the allies can not have any resistance.
Since the Opium War, until 1916, in the modern history of half a century, there has been no good thing for foreigners to come to China, either to invade, or to plunder economic and mineral resources, and of course, to be arrogant masters to negotiate the recovery of hundreds of millions of silver.
How can the Chinese people not hate foreign invaders?
When the Chinese were at the crossroads of change, they intervened by force and reduced China to a semi-colony.
When the Chinese people could not even eat enough food and clothing, they brought opium, used drugs to rob the Chinese people of a little bit of hard-earned money, and robbed hundreds of millions of silver.
When the Chinese people were in dire straits, they came again, not to mention the compensation, but also cut off our land, forcibly leased our land, and formed a state within a state.
When the Chinese people were working hard to make us stronger, they made it difficult in every possible way, discriminating against us on the one hand, blocking us on the other, dumping us on the other, and defrauding us on the other.
Now, the empire has been advancing all the way in the battlefield of World War II, and the empire's territory has expanded several times in one go, with a total population of nearly 900 million and a land area of more than 30 million square kilometers. From the former rooster map, it now has a belly that dominates the whole of Asia, with its head in Europe, near the Arctic Ocean, and its tail drinking in Oceania.
From south to north, the entire empire is like a curled dragon, with the head of the Arctic Ocean drinking water and the tail of the Oceanian dragon swinging.
The huge territory will even be further expanded, and when India, Central Asia, and even the Middle East are integrated, China's territory will reach an unprecedented vastness.
Yes, vast!! Absolutely vast, since the emergence of human civilization on Earth, no civilization has ever been able to reach such heights.
Moreover, judging from the speed at which Zhang Shusheng led the expansion of Chinese civilization, even if it is placed in the interstellar, without the interference of external forces, the simple intrastellar development is rarely as smooth and fast as this.
Many interstellar civilizations, even if one civilization occupies a planet, their development speed is particularly slow, and the slowness makes people feel that they are simply lazy, just relying on the vast starry sky as a cover to fend for themselves, even if they are slaves of other civilizations.
They often rely on countless thousands of years of development to have the strength to laugh at the starry sky.
"Chairman of the National Committee, German Führer Hitler, Italian Führer Mussolini, US Interim President Dwight D. Eisenhower, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet leader Stalin have all arrived in Hanjing."
In Zhang Shusheng's office, Zhou Guolai is reporting on the preparations and progress of the multinational giant conference. Canadian Prime Minister William sent another telegram requesting to attend the meeting. Gandhi, India's representative of public opinion, also sent another telegram, hoping to represent India in the meeting. ”
"The Canadians are not going to use it, they are destined to be fish on the chopping block, only to be slaughtered, and after the meeting, they will be notified of the meeting as a member of the Allied Powers.
As for the Indians, Gandhi? He also wants to come? Just him? Who does he want to represent? Representatives of the people? India does not need popular representatives. The imperial lands under our rule do not need such a representative of the people's will as him. ”
Zhang Shusheng decisively denied, what are Canadians going to do? The only thing they need to do is to be divided by countries at the conference table. In the past, it could play the role of a wolf behind the Americans, but now, with its vast and sparsely populated land, fertile land, and very rich resources, it is impossible for it to protect itself at the end of World War II.
As for Gandhi, the man who always led a large group of Indians to sit on the ground, what did he want to do? Want to protest against the imperial occupation of India? Did the Empire just snatch it from the British, or did it want the Empire to help the British fulfill their ridiculous promise of 'let you read after World War II'?
Zhou Guolai reported on other aspects of the preparatory work, because Zhang Shusheng was determined to attend this giant meeting, so the specifications of the preparatory work were very high, and he was personally responsible for it.
The location of the giant meeting was also cleverly chosen, and it was set in the auditorium of the Imperial University.
Imperial University is a well-known university at home and abroad, ranking first in the world, renamed from Southwest University, it has a huge system, many colleges, and the most important thing is that there are many talents, not only famous teachers at home and abroad, but also thousands of talents who have made world-class contributions in all walks of life.
If the origin of education in the empire is in the southwest, then the origin of education in the southwest is in the southwest university, which is now the imperial university.
The reason why Zhang Shusheng decided to set the venue of this giant meeting in the auditorium of the Imperial University was for a very simple reason.
"We put this meeting of giants who can decide the outcome of World War II in the auditorium of the Imperial University, at least for a long time to come, its influence will always be in the hearts of the students of the Empire, and it will be passed on in the hearts of countless generations of students of the Imperial University. Encourage them to study hard, and replicate the momentum of the empire countless times in their time. ”
…… October 15, 1947.
The long-awaited multi-state summit was held in the auditorium of Imperial University, and although the students of Imperial University had already received the news, they were still overjoyed when the vehicles carrying heads of state drove into the campus.
Outside the separation line, the students were already lined up in the huge square outside the auditorium, not to greet the defeated leaders of various countries, nor to welcome the two madmen of Germany and Italy, they got up early in the morning, spontaneously lined up, and put on their brand new southwestern uniforms, in order to welcome their most beloved chairman Zhang Shusheng.
"Chinese students are very imposing. These are the students of the legendary Imperial University of China. ”
Every leader who stepped out of the car, although he was preoccupied, still sighed from the bottom of his heart when he saw these students of Imperial University who were neatly dressed and in good spirits.
They seem to be extremely disciplined, but they don't see the fascist obscurantism on their faces.
Finally, Zhang Shusheng's car came, a very ordinary Chinese bulletproof car, but with the golden dragon flag of the empire hanging on it.
"Long live the chairman!!"
The crowd immediately cheered, and the leaders of the defeated and victorious countries in front of them got out of the car and were all sent to the front of the steps of the auditorium as if they were paying attention, and everyone looked at Zhang Shusheng in embarrassment, and was greeted with such enthusiasm that it was suffocating, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
As a result, a meeting that could decide the outcome of World War II, to be precise, let the leaders of various countries know Zhang Shusheng's arrangements for the outcome of World War II, was held in the solemn auditorium of the Imperial University.
At the beginning of the meeting, of course, there was a bunch of red tape, and this international convention passed without saying anything in the morning. On the Chinese side, Zhou Guolai gave a speech and spoke a lot, and then the representatives of the Axis and the Allies also spoke, the German side was Goering's dead fat man, and the Allied American side was spoken by a person with the title of doctor. Both sides are also going through the motions.
Lunch is very simple, and Zhang Shusheng didn't think about entertaining these people ceremoniously, but just invited them to their student days and have lunch with the students.
In the days of the Imperial University, although the meals were prepared in advance, the relevant departments reminded the school that there was no need for special arrangements, and it was just as usual.
As a result, when Zhang Shusheng and his entourage went to the cafeteria under the escort of bodyguards, they found that the entire huge imperial university cafeteria hall was already crowded.
The dining area for several leaders and their entourage, staff is simply distinguished, in a spacious corner. When Zhang Shusheng and the others came in, the students present had no idea that this would be the case, and they all stood up and applauded, excited.
Zhang Shusheng sat at the top, looked at a group of Western leaders with ugly faces, and said with no concern in his heart, "Our country has always implemented a compulsory education system, from kindergarten to university, students can study for free, live for free, and enjoy free meals.
As you should all know, national affairs are difficult, and China is still in the development stage, so it is not appropriate to be extravagant and wasteful. The foundation of a country lies in education, and our students eat the best, and the fact that we are entertaining you in the university cafeteria today is enough to show that we treat you as important as our students. ”
Western leaders and staff looked at the food in front of them, and their faces were ugly, but in fact, it was fine. The Chinese are notoriously stingy, and when it comes to receiving foreign guests, they usually ask each country to pay for their own special hotels. The problem of eating is even more simple, all local Chinese dishes, three dishes and one soup working meal.
Hitler looked at the three dishes and one soup in front of him, and his mood was also very complicated. In fact, he eats very simple food in Germany, and his daily working meals may not reach this standard, after all, Germany is too difficult. He asked the chef to prepare his meals according to the standards of the working meal.
The three dishes and one soup in front of me, a braised pork, a shredded pork with green pepper, a scrambled egg with tomato, and a soup that seems to be pork trotters. Looks very nutritious. Just now, after just a cursory glance, he found that the other students were serving the same dish.
What does this mean?
It was not the same as the embarrassed expression on Stalin's face, and it was also different from the obvious dissatisfaction on Mussolini's face. The expression on Hitler's face was more of shock.
One meal, you can see that the strength of the Chinese is far from being comparable to Germany. Moreover, from this very expensive meal, it can be seen how much the Chinese attach importance to education.
Roosevelt, Churchill, and Hitler all looked carefully at the meal in front of them. Although it was served on beautiful dishes, the meals on the students' plates were just as delicate and generous.
Moreover, what makes people feel is that the Chinese students' rice plate is a stainless steel specially designed multi-grid rice plate, and many students who have finished eating, if they are not full, can still serve the meal again.
"China's strength can be reflected in a lunch."
The leaders and staff members present couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of their hearts.
The pragmatism of the Chinese and the attitude of the Chinese towards education and future talents are not comparable to those of any country here. The short and thin Chinese in the impression of visitors from all over the world no longer exist, and the students in front of them are all hard and tall, especially with very ruddy faces.
Reflecting on the countries, maybe the situation in the United States is slightly better, and in other countries, the people on the streets are full of hunger.
This lunch has a different taste. However, Zhang Shusheng praised it before leaving, the food in the canteen of the Imperial University was very good, enough to entertain the so-called foreign guests.
In the afternoon, the giants held a closed-door meeting, and Zhang Shusheng gave a speech in a timely manner.
“…… First of all, on behalf of the Imperial Axe, I would like to welcome you all from afar. History will prove that the Hanking Conference will be an open and honest meeting, a conference that will bring peace to the world and a new life for the people of the world. We are committed to bridging our differences and making it our mission to end World War II......"
After the talks officially began, Zhang Shusheng took the initiative to send Hitler a favor, demanding that the Allies led by Britain and the United States must surrender unconditionally to the Axis powers.
This suggestion, which is almost a mandatory surname, has not been opposed by the United States and Britain and other countries, and after a stalemate, it can be regarded as a pass.
Subsequently, Zhang Shusheng proposed a bombshell that had been prepared for a long time.
“…… We unanimously agreed that, as the parties with great responsibility for the war, the members of the Central Powers should bear the responsibilities of the defeated countries, and as the defeated parties, should bear the responsibilities of the defeated countries, including war reparations, territorial redivision, acceptance of the military occupation of the victorious powers, and corresponding military punitive measures......"
The giant talks can't be finished in a day, to be precise, Zhang Shusheng threw out the direction he needed to talk about as soon as he came up, anyway, there was enough time, he was not in a hurry.
“…… As the main victorious power, China will make territorial claims against Canada to punish them for their crimes in this world war............ As the main victorious power, we will send sufficient troops to the United Kingdom, as well as to several states of the United States, which are Alaska, California, Hawaii, ......"
In this kind of meeting, when China has the most active advantage, Zhang Shusheng did not spend too much time preparing the wording, how to embellish the greed of the Chinese side, these are useless. Your strength is enough, if you open your mouth directly, others dare not give it, and if you are not strong enough, you will not dare to ask for it if others give it to you. (Referring to the original World War II, China did not send troops to station, nor did it receive war reparations in time.) What Zhang Shusheng had to do was to put forward the conditions in one go, anyway, he would never use China's interests to make concessions, and when the time was right, he could use the interests of Germany and other Axis powers in exchange for the Allies.
According to his idea, the end of World War II is imminent, and China must get the biggest cake, otherwise, it will not hesitate to fight to the death and level Britain and the United States.
