997 Sunset in Hawaii VI. Nuclear proliferation
On February 28, 1940, Berlin, Germany, was still covered in a white snowfall. On both sides of Kurtihou Street, a piece of silver makeup is wrapped. The tall and majestic Brandenburg Gate is still shrouded in a cloud of snow and mist. Probably due to the cold weather, the capital of the Third German Reich looked so deserted.
The Empress Anastasia of Russia sat in a luxurious and comfortable Maybach car, and today she rarely wore the long court dress of the kind that showed her bare shoulders, but in a rare case, she wore the blue military coat of the Young Guards of the Russian Empire, and a shiny gold medal hung high on her chest. The Empress was frowning slightly, quietly looking at the snow outside the car window, and the Russian Prime Minister Duke Kerensky was sitting next to her, also frowning.
With the political vision of these two, of course, we can see that a great era is about to come to an end with the three nuclear explosions in Pyongyang, Wonsan, and Busan! In the future, it is likely to be an era in which China, Germany, and the United States will compete for hegemony...... And under these three powers, there is undoubtedly the Russian Empire under the rule of the empress! However, Russia is now in its weakest period since Peter the Great, losing Eastern Siberia and most of Central Asia in the east, and large areas of rich territory in the west, such as Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. Moreover, Russia is still caught between China and Germany, and if China and Germany become hostile in the future, Russia's position will become delicate. To make matters worse, Russia is still a European power. And also next to the hegemon of Europe. The Third Reich, one of the three great powers in the world!
It was only about 100 kilometers from the current German-Russian border to the Russian capital Petersburg. The German armored forces will be able to complete the encirclement of Petersburg in just a few hours! Similarly, the distance from Petersburg to Berlin, the capital of Germany, is just over 1,300 kilometers, and a heavy bomber carrying an atomic bomb can cover this distance in just over two hours. And everyone believes that a strong Russia will definitely have an atomic bomb! In other words, once this world war is over, the Russian Empire will inevitably become the primary target of German control and suppression, just as China is now sparing no effort to suppress Japan...... No matter how soft the Empress of Russia is and how clever her diplomacy is, it is impossible for her empire to move between China and Germany as easily as she has done in the past two years.
This time, the Russian empress went to Berlin at the request of Chinese Marshal Luo Yaoguo to mediate the American-German war. Tentative Hitler's armistice conditions. However, in the bottom of her heart, she hoped that the war between Germany and the United States could be fought for thirty or fifty years, so that Russia would be able to sit back and relax.
Thinking of this, Anastasia couldn't help but sigh softly. Kerensky, who was on the side, heard this sigh. Frowning, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you worried that Hitler is dissatisfied with our mediation?" ”
The empress smiled bitterly: "Why should he be dissatisfied? The Chinese have already defeated Japan and used three atomic bombs to show the world the great power of this new weapon! I'm afraid Hitler is also feeling the palpitations of his heart now, right? I wonder how many atomic bombs China still has? Ten? Or eight? If they were all thrown on German soil, his Third Reich would probably be ...... Hmph, he must also want to have a step down the stage of an armistice with the United States now. ”
Kerensky shook his head: "Your Majesty, according to the report of the intelligence services, the Odin program for the development of the German atomic bomb will soon be successful, and the first atomic bomb is expected to be created around June this year...... Perhaps Germany will use the atomic bomb to force the United States to surrender? ”
"Huh, huh?" Her Majesty smiled noncommittally. Then the subject changed: "Duke, how is the repair work in Moscow going?" When will I be able to live in the Kremlin? ”
"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......"
"Moscow is also the capital of the Empire," Anastasia said with a smile, "I can't stay in Petersburg forever and not stay in Moscow for a while, right?" As she spoke, she said in an inaudible voice, "Novosibirsk should also be repaired, and it can be used as the summer capital of me and the imperial government...... Also, when I return to Petersburg, I will ask Baron Kurchatov, the director of the Petersburg Institute of Physics, to come to the Winter Palace, and I will ask him some questions. ”
Kerensky's eyes faintly flashed with a hint of joy, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, has the Chinese marshal agreed to provide us with the technology to make an atomic bomb?" ”
The Empress of Russia smiled. "He promised me a long time ago." I believe that he would have offered Russia this killer weapon if it were not for our personal relations. Only with the atomic bomb can we straighten our backs in front of Hitler...... Isn't this what they Chinese want to see? ”
Kerensky said: "They Chinese are not afraid that we will become a threat when we become strong?" ”
The Empress of Russia was silent for a moment, and then replied, "At least he doesn't have to worry about it while I'm on the throne, because I'm not so stupid." At the same time, he made enemies with China and Germany, or served as cannon fodder for Germany's invasion of China. And even if Russia has an atomic bomb, it is not powerful, but it has the power to protect itself......" The empress sighed and said: "Let's not talk about this, let's think about how to play the role of a mediator between virtues." ”
While speaking, the car had already driven to the door of the German Chancellery, and the German Minister of Propaganda and National Education Goebbels, and the Foreign Minister Ribbentrop had been waiting there for a long time with several German government officials. Such a greeting standard is really not high for the leader of a major country. If Luo Yiqun had visited Berlin instead, it is estimated that both Hitler and Goering would have personally greeted him at the airport. From this, it can be seen what is the status of this "Russian female fox" in the minds of the Germans.
However, the Empress and Kerensky did not show a trace of dissatisfaction, and still chatted and laughed with Goebel and Ribbentrop very warmly, and the Empress herself even saluted Goebbels and Ribbentrop with the standard Nazi hand salute! In fact, the Russian empress is now following Hitler and Mussolini's example at home and forming a Russian fascist party. He is the leader of the party. At the moment, Russia is doing that. It's pretty much a German and Italian copycat. However, this fascism is different from GCISM, and its core ideology is narrow ultra-nationalism rather than noble internationalism, so there is no need to worry that the Russian fascists will put Germany above the national interests of Russia.
"The Führer has given His Majesty a full hour to discuss the issue of the peace proposal." After a few pleasantries, Ribbentrop got straight to the point.
The Empress said happily: "The Führer can give me so much time to show his sincerity for peace, and I think the whole world will be grateful to him." ”
The Minister of Propaganda told the Empress: "If only Roosevelt could think so, and the whole of America would be grateful for his wisdom and wisdom." ”
"I completely agree with you." The Empress smiled: "Then let's hurry to see the great German Führer, don't let him wait for a long time." ”
"Okay, please come with me." Goebbels made a gesture of surprise, and then limped ahead.
Hitler met with the visiting Empress of Russia and Kerensky in a cold, granite-tiled parlor on the floor. The fat man Goering also attended the reception. He slouched back in a comfortable, high-backed armchair, cocked a fat leg in long black thick leather boots, and drank coffee in a small golden coffee cup. When he saw the Empress and the others walk in, he stood up. Nodding and smiling kindly. Hitler still sat behind his desk with a blank face, motionless like an emperor, waiting for others to pay homage.
The Empress of Russia raised her right hand high and shouted in a reverent tone: "Hi, Hitler! Kerensky, Goebbels and Ribbentrop then paid their respects to the Führer with a raised hand.
Hitler's attitude was very cold, he only made a gesture to sit down, and did not return the salute to the empress. Wait until the empress and the others sit down on the wrong floor. Hitler folded his hands on his lap, looked at the Empress solemnly, and said with sarcasm: "Your Majesty, what does my Chinese friend (referring to Luo Yaoguo) want you to tell me?" ”
The Empress looked at Hitler calmly and showed a wry smile: "Yes. My Führer. It is true that he made the peace proposal, but I feel that Germany needs to consider the question of integrating the United States into the future new world order. Because all indications are that the United States will have an atomic bomb in the next few months. ”
Hitler and Goering glanced at each other. The Führer's face was gloomy, Goering shrugged his shoulders, waved his arms vigorously, and said loudly: "The Luftwaffe is capable of stopping all threats from the air!" American planes will never be able to fly into the skies of Europe! Never! ”
The Empress tilted her head and said with a faint smile: "If a big country like the United States wants to take revenge before death, I think it can always find a way to use the atomic bomb, such as using a merchant ship flying the flag of some other country to load the atomic bomb into a German port...... I don't think even Germany could have done a thorough search of every ship that came into port, right? As far as I know, the atomic bomb was not very large. It's still very easy to hide. ”
"That would mean the destruction of the United States and its 100 million people!" Goering roared loudly.
"Does that include tens of millions of German-Americans?" The Empress blinked her eyes wide and looked at the fat man with a look of pity. "Your Excellency, you also know that I have lived in the United States for many years, and I know many German-Americans...... Actually, I'm one of them myself, and I know most German-Americans. In fact, I have a good impression of Germany, can you really bear ......?"
"That would be the destruction of all American Jews!" Hitler coldly corrected Goering's words.
The Empress of Russia sighed lightly: "My Führer. I don't think the German team can catch those Jews, although the German team is very strong, but the Jews are not a people who will live and die with the United States, in fact, in the past few months, Jewish wealth has been flowing to China at an incredible rate...... Wuhan, Shanghai, and Peking are now full of American Jewish businessmen who have spent a lot of money to buy mansions, and the ten largest Chinese banks are also full of gold and dollar bills brought by Jews, so that the exchange rate of China's fiat currency is rising every hour! The heads of the personnel departments of Chinese universities, hospitals and scientific research institutions met with dozens of Jewish scholars or doctors who were looking for jobs every day. As she spoke, she accentuated her tone and looked at Hitler with a serious gaze: "My Führer." If the United States is really destroyed by Germany. I believe that 70% of the country's wealth and 50% of its scientists will go to China! The Chinese now own half the world's land and resources, and if you add the wealth and brains of the United States and the Jews, this country will probably become a real thousand-year empire, right? What does this mean for us white people and the Western world? ”
There was silence in the room, and Hitler's eyebrows gradually wrinkled, as if he was thinking hard, and his gray-blue eyes stared at the Russian Empress without blinking, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly and said in German with a Bavarian accent: "Your Majesty." I have to admit that you are the most outstanding diplomat I have ever met. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Ribbentrop: "If you are not the Empress of Russia, then Ribbentrop may only be a deputy minister of foreign affairs, and I will let you be the foreign minister of Germany." He paused. And again: "Well, you convinced me, it seems that the destruction of the United States is not in the overall interests of the entire Western world. However, in the current American theater, the German team still has a huge advantage, and this advantage must be fully reflected in the future peace agreement. ”
"My Führer," said Goering, who stood awkwardly and waved his fat hand with several diamond rings, cried out aloud, "it is my understanding that the United States, if they want peace, must pay enough for their folly of confronting the German Empire!" ”
Hitler was silent for a while. As if thinking about something in his heart, he finally waved his hand impatiently: "The reparations that the United States should pay cannot be less than the total amount of reparations that Germany had to pay in the last world war!" I don't remember exactly how much. Italy, Russia, Japan, and all the victorious countries that participated in the war should also be compensated accordingly.
Also, the United States should cede the island of Puerto Rico to Germany, which is already in German hands! Italy will get the Virgin Islands. The United States should also transfer to Germany the rights and interests in the Panama Canal, which they had seized by force, which did not belong to the United States in the first place...... Then there was the Hawaiian Islands, which were to be ceded to the Japanese Empire, an ally of Germany. Finally, the United States must also stop supporting the rebel groups of Free Britain! ”
Hitler's expression was a little agitated, and when he had said this, he stood up and strode out through the heavy double wooden door on the side. Empress Anastasia and Kerensky glanced at each other, and the Empress said, "I think the purpose of my trip has been achieved, right?" ”
Kerensky looked at the three Germans in the room. In a tentative tone, he said: "If my understanding is correct, Germany's armistice conditions are that the United States compensates Germany with 269 billion gold marks, the United States cedes the island of Puerto Rico to Germany, the Hawaiian Islands to the Japanese Empire, the Panama Canal Zone to Germany, and the United States stops supporting Free Britain." Britain ceded the Virgin Islands to Italy...... In the end, the belligerent countries, including Italy, Russia, and Japan, were also able to receive a reparation from the United States. Is that the case? ”
"Yes, this is the opinion of the Führer and Germany." The fat man Goering replied in a stiff tone: "But until the United States accepts this armistice condition, the German military offensive will not stop!" If President Roosevelt had not lost his basic judgment, he had better accept it immediately, otherwise, with the victory in Germany, the conditions of the armistice will be even harsher! ”
Goebbels chimed in: "Americans have paid a terrible price for their stupidity, and if they don't learn to be smarter, the price will be even greater." ”
"This is bound to be the result," said Ribbentrop, "I am afraid that Her Majesty will need to make a trip to China at once, or the end of America will come before Roosevelt gets this armistice condition." ”
……
Ribbentrop's words about the end of America were not exactly intimidation. Because just as the Russian Empress was talking about peace with Hitler, in a luxurious villa on the shore of East Lake in Wuhan, China, there was a criminal bargain of conspiracy to destroy world peace (which was almost extinct)!
One of the parties to the deal was the vice-head of the Third Reich, Rudolf. Mr. Hess, on the other hand, Marshal Luo Yaoguo, Chief of the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces, was the subject of the deal for a full 25 kilograms of uranium-235 with an abundance of 93.5%. The site of the transaction is a spacious and luxurious living room filled with fine French furniture. Rudolph. Hess and German Minister Albert. Speer sat on a couch, a low coffee table in front of him piled up with all sorts of documents and materials. Luo Yaoguo and Lu Ming, Minister of the Central Reserve, sat face to face with them. Natalie was also in the room, holding a coffee pot in her hand, and when she saw someone's coffee cup empty, she went up and filled it with gratitude. Apart from the five of them, there was no sixth person in this large living room. In fact, the content of today's transaction cannot be disclosed to the public at all! It does not exist in all the official historical sources of later generations...... If it weren't for 60 years later, "Rudolph. With the advent of Hess's Memoirs, this transaction that almost destroyed the world was almost annihilated in the vast river of history. Of course, the Chinese side and the spokesman for the Luo family are both adamantly denying Rudolph. Hess's memoirs recount.
In this controversial memoir, Hess wrote: "Although the Chinese proposed to mediate the war in the Atlantic, they did not give up any opportunity to use the war to gain benefits for Germany and the United States!" According to the information spied on by the German spy service, the special envoy of the US president, Harry . Hopkins had also secretly arrived in Wuhan, and the purpose seemed to be exactly the same as mine. It is clear that the Americans are also fully aware that the atomic bomb is the key to ending this war, and they are doing everything they can to get enough uranium-235 from China, while the Chinese are singing about peace while selling us and the United States this atomic weapon that can kill hundreds of thousands of people at once! There is nothing more hypocritical and absurd in the world than this!
On 28 February, Mr. Hipper and I negotiated with the representatives of the Chinese side, Luo Yaoguo, Chief of the General Staff, and Lu Ming, Minister of Armaments, on the transfer of weapons-grade uranium-235 in a villa privately owned by Luo Yaoguo. At the request of the other side, the negotiations were held in absolute secrecy, and there were no records in the official documents of both sides, and there were no documents related to the transfer of uranium-235 afterwards, as if nothing had happened.
The Chinese side's asking price is the same as we expected in advance, including a large number of sophisticated machinery and equipment, some key technical data, and some information and samples of some secret weapons that Germany is researching and developing. Among the top things are jet engine samples, design drawings; The rocket engine samples and design drawings of the A4 missile (V2 missile) under development are different from those in the past, and the Chinese did not propose to jointly develop these two secret weapons with Germany to share technology, but directly asked for top-secret information and samples. Apparently they have realized that after the end of this world war, China and Germany will completely turn from partners into competitors! They can only acquire cutting-edge technology through their own wisdom and hard work.
At the time, however, the leaders of the Third Reich did not realize that we, the former 'students', also possessed extraordinary scientific and technological creativity (perhaps because our Jewish policy provided them with too many brilliant brains). Therefore, we readily agreed to the conditions put forward by the Chinese, and handed over Henschel's jet engine, the rocket engine of the A4 missile, and the relevant drawings and technical data. In exchange for 25 kilograms of uranium-235, it seems that the German Empire could win the whole world As for the later results, everyone already knows, so I won't say more.
It is also worth mentioning that after the two of us reached a 'verbal agreement' (no documents were kept, all the agreements were recorded in notebooks by various representatives, without the signatures of the other party, and all were destroyed afterwards). The Chinese marshal Luo Yaoguo put forward some bizarre proposals, such as building an international monetary system dominated by the United States, China, and Germany; the establishment of a free trade system that includes all countries in the world; Finally, it is necessary to establish a new international alliance led by Germany, the United States, and China to solve the problems of the establishment and adjustment of the new post-war world order. At the time, I didn't know what the significance of these proposals were, but it soon became clear to all of us that they would be the cornerstone of a new post-war world order. (To be continued.)
