For the Americans, although the current treaty is also harsh, it is at least much stronger than the earliest treaty, so in the end, although there is some reluctance, the Americans still signed it.

After all, even if the industrial strength of the Americans is strong, it will take a year or two to restore to the pre-war level, and one or two years is enough time for the Japanese to gain a firm foothold in Nanyang and Australia―――――― you must know that unlike China in history, the natives of Nanyang do not even have the slightest spirit of resistance, as for Australia, the huge Australia has only a population of 7 million, and after the outbreak of the war, there are only five or six million left, and there is no interference for Japan at all.

It is true that the industrial strength of the United States is stronger than that of Japan, at least at present, the United States has produced 80 million tons of steel, while Japan's current steel production is not even 8 million.

But if the Japanese were allowed to gain a foothold in Australia, although Japan would not be able to surpass the United States in a short period of time, the situation would be completely different, after all, Australia is best known for its high-quality iron ore reserves...

And due to China's demand for Australian iron ore in the early years, these iron ores were developed early. When the Japanese landed in Australia, they only needed to recruit all the workers to start work...

Therefore, the United States must defeat Japan before it can gain a foothold, otherwise, if it wants to defeat Japan, the price that the United States needs to pay is absolutely unbearable...

As for the atomic bomb? In the United States, the atomic bomb was built in such a way that even the CIA only got the name "Manhattan Project", but that name alone was enough. After all, for Yan Guang, a later man, the name "Manhattan Project" is really thunderous.

In early 1942, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, American scientists began to theorize about building an atomic bomb. There is an approximate estimate of the research direction, budget and time. In terms of heavy nuclear element separation, there is Lawrence's team at the University of California, Berkeley, and Egel and Jesse from Columbia University. Wakefield Liang Research Group on Gas Diffusion Methods, Philip of the Carnegie Institution in Washington. Abelson researches the thermal diffusion method.

When it comes to nuclear reactor technology, Columbia University's Harold Brown. Yuri researched heavy water, while Arthur Canton mentored his scientists at Columbia University and the University of Chicago. and the metallurgical laboratory built by Princeton University to study reactors using plutonium and graphite as neutron moderators. But the project as a whole was too large to be able to do so that it would be possible to build an atomic bomb before the end of the war if it was to turn to military research and give it the highest priority.

On March 9, 1942, Bush and Conant submitted a plan budget of $90 million to the top U.S. decision-making group ($54 million for the construction of experimental facilities for the U.S. Corps of Engineers and $31 million for research conducted by the OSRD). $5,000,000 for the 1943 fiscal year), the report was presented to President Roosevelt and immediately approved for execution.

It's just that although the [Manhattan Project] has been established, whether it is the American generals or Roosevelt himself is a little uncertain about the power of the atomic bomb, after all, for this era. The power of the atomic bomb is beyond people's imagination.

And it is impossible for a weapon like an atomic bomb to be used on a large scale unless necessary.

After all, if you throw a few at the end of the war, it doesn't matter, if you abuse them wantonly, the pressure from all sides will definitely be huge.

Also in the process of developing the atomic bomb in the United States. Actually, some interesting things have happened.

Long before the outbreak of the war, Britain and the United States had already exchanged information on nuclear energy. But there was no cooperation. In 1941, Bush and Conant invited Britain to join in to strengthen the project. But the British decisively refused. Because they are unwilling to share their leading technology and do not want to help the United States develop their nuclear weapons. However, because Britain does not have as many manpower and material resources as the United States, it is not willing to lag behind the United States. On July 30, 1942, Churchill and Roosevelt made an unofficial, unwritten agreement on atomic cooperation. …,

However, this partnership of equals did not last long. In August 1942, Britain demanded substantial control of the project without disbursing any funds, but the United States refused. In 1943, relations between Britain and the United States reversed. Britain's negotiating position deteriorated, and American scientists decided not to accept any outside help. The U.S. Nuclear Policy Council also feared that Britain would build wartime nuclear weapons.

In March 943, Conant risked exposing the secrets of the weapon's design to invite James? Chadwick and a handful of other British scientists came to Los Angeles to work on the atomic bomb because the project was in dire need of technicians like them. In August 1943, Churchill and Roosevelt signed the Quebec Accords, which restored the issue of cooperation between scientists on scientific research. In 1943, the United States had invested more than $1 billion in the project, while the United Kingdom had invested only £500,000.

£500,000...

It can only be said that in the Second World War, 500,000 pounds was only enough to buy a destroyer...

――――――――――――――――――――

Although it was more difficult for the two sides to negotiate the treaty, especially when discussing the positioning of Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines, after all, the two in front of this are the mainland of the United States, and the latter is also a colony of the United States, but now that it is no longer the United States, then...

But when it comes to British colonies, the two countries have a lot in common.

One of the most important points is that both countries believe that colonies such as India and Burma will emerge from colonization under the premise of "national self-determination".

The United States supports China in this regard, after all, Britain has too many colonies, and it should indeed be reduced. But again, while the United States supports this. He also signed a treaty with China that promised that after the end of the war, China would not turn India and other regions into Chinese territory, as it did with Iran, Iraq, and other places.

As for making East Asia a sphere of influence or something. The United States doesn't care much about this, you must know that whether in the future or now, South America has always been the backyard of the United States...

This is also another reason why the United States will agree, and Yan Guang nodded and agreed to the Americans' request quite neatly.

The reason is simple: unlike Iraq, Iran, and Central Asia, India and Indochina are the most populous countries, but countries like Myanmar and the Philippines. The population is more than twice that of Australia, and Vietnam is three or four times as large. (Read the novel to the leaves・Yo~Yo.YZuU.)

Not to mention India, which had a population of more than 300 million at this time.

Although China now has a population of more than 800 million. But it is still impossible to assimilate more than 400 million other races, even selectively...

Of course, on the Indian issue, China and the United States actually concealed it from Britain when they negotiated with each other. The reason is simple, India is too important for the British. And now, although the environment in Britain is very difficult, it is impossible to get them to give up India like this, so this matter can only be hidden from Britain.

But on this matter. In fact, both China and the United States understand very well that the UK's opinion is not important.

Wait until it's a foregone conclusion. Even if the British have other ideas, it is useless, after all, the British do not have much strength anymore.

――――――――――――――――――――

There are three main parties to this negotiation. On one side was the Allies led by Britain and the United States, and on the other side was the Soviet Union.

It is easier to solve it on the side of the Allies, mainly to solve the largest United States, and the matter is actually half solved. As for Britain, on the surface, China's demands are not high, and it is only asking Britain to withdraw from East Asia, and Britain has long been psychologically prepared for this, so it is very neat, and Churchill nodded and agreed. …,

In fact, the conditions of the British are very simple, there is no problem in withdrawing from East Asia, after all, after the rise of China, it is absolutely impossible not to talk about East Asia to become his sphere of influence, and the British have long understood this.

The most important thing is that if you want to win over China, you can only use East Asia as a bargaining chip.

Fortunately, Britain's colonies in East Asia have almost been occupied by Japan, so although some people feel sorry for important places like Singapore that can block the Strait of Malacca, Britain still nodded.

Because for the British, as long as they can keep India, it will be the greatest victory for them...

You must know that at present, the Japanese army and the Thai army are constantly going deep into the hinterland of India, and now Britain has no strength to help India―――――― of course, the British do not know that Thailand has betrayed China and thrown itself to the side of the Axis powers. So in the eyes of the British, as long as Thailand, as a Chinese pawn, gets orders from China, it will definitely fight back against the Japanese army, and by that time...

India's predicament will naturally be resolved.

It's a pity that because of the unsatisfied interests, the Thais have thrown themselves into the Axis powers.

Although there are many pro-Chinese and ethnic Chinese relations in Thai political circles, the upper echelons of the Thai government are not yet able to effectively dominate Thailand, but it is unlikely that the Thai troops will strike a counterattack against the Japanese army...

The United States is more troublesome, Britain has some troubles but has solved them, and the best solution is actually the Soviet Union.

Because the current Soviet Union is somewhat unable to hold on, especially Moscow, as the capital, although it has been insisting on relying on the continuous blood transfusion of the Communist government, but at least half of Moscow's urban areas at this time have fallen into the hands of the Germans.

I am afraid that the current Moscow has long fallen into the hands of the Germans.

As for Stalin, the Russian boss, the best case scenario is to move to the other side of the Ural Mountains, but by that time, it is difficult to say whether Stalin, the boss, will be able to sit in his current position.

After all, Moscow was lost in his hands, and most importantly, it was Stalin's conceit and the Great Purge he led that caused Russia to suffer a heavy blow in this war...

Although Stalin's military literacy may not be very good, and may even be inferior to Hitler, look at the Great Purge he led. There are also a series of historical events, at least it can be seen that Stalin was still very sensitive to political matters, and because of this, while Moscow continued to dominate the fighting. He also seemed to be aware of what the people around him thought of him.

It is precisely because of this that he needs support from China even more.

Of course, the most important thing is that China's conditions are not harsh compared to those for Britain and the United States.

That is, Russia was not allowed to cede land, nor did it let Russia sign any humiliating treaties, but only asked the Russians to raise the sale price of weapons several times, and by the way recognized the Caucasus and South Russia. There are also parts of Central Asia, Outer Mongolia and the Outer Khingan Mountains as Chinese territory...

Although the top level of the Chinese and Russian governments has always been ambiguous in recent years, the Russian government has never forgotten to claim these areas, and it is precisely because of this relationship that the border conflicts between the two countries have always been the most numerous in the world...

Therefore. Yan Guang really wanted to take this opportunity to completely solve the border issue.

As for Siberia? Just keep it for Russia...

Although Siberia seems to be very good, Yan Guang has his own thoughts in his heart, and at the same time, he also has his eye on another place.

"Australia..."

That's right, Australia. Or Yan Guang has always coveted this place in Australia. Siberia is indeed a good place, but there is a big problem, first of all, Siberia is not suitable for human habitation. There is no doubt about this, otherwise Siberia would not have been inhabited by many people for so many years.

Know that even in the Hereafter. Siberia is not the most important thing for Russia to pay attention to, and even Russia's Pacific Fleet is no more than the second-ranked fleet.

Of course. Siberia is a vast region rich in resources...

Moreover, if Siberia is occupied, the border between China and Russia can be shortened to the part of the Ural Mountains and southern Russia, which is also very effective in reducing the pressure on China's border.

But to take over Siberia is to take over Alaska on the other side of the Bering Strait...

Ahem, the most important thing is that Yan Guang needs to have a Russia to help him share the pressure after the war, from the West, or from NATO.

In the final analysis, although China's strength is enough, unlike the United States, which has a large harem of NATO, there are only a few countries around China that can be used, such as Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, and the rest are almost all unfashionable guys.

Even Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, it's hard to say what will be left after the war, so Yan Guang needs some time, some time to help the countries of East Asia regain their strength.

And during this period, Russia will need to continue to help him attract firepower.

After all, while the younger brothers around him are regaining their strength, Yan Guang also needs to consolidate his rule over Australia, and of course, New Zealand...

The most important thing is that Australia's population is sparse, only seven million before the war, and only five or six million after the outbreak of the war, and this number is still decreasing...

So...

This is simply the best chance!!

Before the outbreak of the war, why would Yan Guang allow Japan to attack Australia, and why would he allow Japan to hand over French Indochina to China after occupying Australia...

It's because Australia...

Yan Guang originally wanted to join the side of the Allied Powers, so for Australia, a member of the British Commonwealth and the Allied Powers, Yan Guang had no reason or excuse to occupy it.

But Japan is different...

Japan was a member of the Axis powers, and it was only natural for Japan to occupy Australia, and it was only natural that after Japan occupied Australia, China would defeat Japan and occupy Australia.

The most important thing is that in a short period of time, that is, in a year or two, because of the "Pearl Harbor" relationship, the Americans will not be able to compete with the Japanese in the Pacific, which means that during this period, Yan Guang has a lot of time to deal with Australian affairs, and no one can compete with him at all.

Even if someone had an opinion about Yan Guang's occupation of Australia in the end, he didn't have the strength to bring it up...

So, Yan Guang approved...

――――――――――――――――――――

The moment Yan Guang signed his name on the agreement, it also represented China's official participation in the war.

Of course, none of this is true, the most important thing is that China did not join either the Central Powers or Soviet Russia, but formed a separate force of its own.

Britain, the United States and Russia have no problem with this, after all, China has the strength to do so, and the most important thing is that China also has its own small circle, namely Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

After Japan invaded Australia, the Japanese government had handed over Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other countries to China as promised―――――― Japan knew very well that even if he wanted to, it would be useless, after all, these places bordered Chinese land, as long as it wanted, China could take it back at any time, by force!!

And now, it is under the embrace of these little brothers that China has established the [Neutral Nations Alliance], referred to as the [China Alliance], of course, if the interpretation is wrong, the Chinese do not mind that you interpret him as the [China Alliance] ...

――――――――――――――――――――

I don't know what's going on, the mosquitoes here haven't frozen to death yet, you know, it's more than ten degrees below zero... (To be continued......)
