Reaching consensus on several aspects is both a simple and difficult matter. First of all, the respective interests of these aspects need to have common ground, and there needs to be a balance and compromise in the middle.

But the most important thing is that the negotiators of each side need to have a certain voice. That's why the United States sent its own secretary of state, and the British side directly let Churchill make the decision.

The Chinese side attended the closed-door talks, together with Lin Sen, the current chairman of the coalition government, and Tu Mengben, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces. The Soviets were sent for their own interests, but also because Stalin had the most dealings with the rest of the Allied forces.

Now only Kalinin and Stalin were in charge of the Soviet Union, and Trotsky, as chairman, was trapped in Moscow. Or rather, he voluntarily stayed in Moscow and could not come.

A closed-door meeting was almost discussed the next morning, and the decision was simple. The United States will provide the Soviet Union with 4,000 anti-aircraft guns, 30,000 tons of smokeless gunpowder, 100,000 heavy loading vehicles, and 12,000 tons of aluminum...... and so on.

The supplies will arrive in Vladivostok within three months.

China, on the other hand, will provide 3,500 tons of ammunition, 589766 tons of steel, 12,000 tons of oil, 1,300 of the latest Tiger tanks, 1,100 aircraft, including Tiger Moths and Tiger Sharks, and 2,100 tons of food...... and so on.

The British, having retreated to Canada, were not able to offer much. Fortunately, thanks to Churchill's coordination, the previous agreement between China and Britain continued to be implemented. A large number of Chinese laborers are being hired to Canada. Help the British to open mines or smelt.

As a result, Britain promised to supply the Soviet Union with 36,300 tons of high-quality copper, 3,384 aircraft of various types, and 32,595 tons of canned food of all kinds through the Bering Strait...... and so on.

Stalin, who received the aid, was happy, but his mood was also complicated. He had tried to find a coalition government. It was hoped that Lend-Lease Vladivostok would allow the Soviet Union to gain an outlet to the sea.

But the coalition government and the Wehrmacht are not fools, and this tiger borrows a pig and still has it?! It's easy to snatch Vladivostok back from Lao Maozi's mouth, and if these old Maozi borrow it again, they will really not have to pay it back.

Therefore, neither Lin Sen nor Tu Mengben agreed to Stalin's proposal. And when Stalin tried to convince Churchill and Hull, they were only slapping on the matter.

Neither Churchill nor Hull were fools, and it was certainly impossible for China to agree to the lease of Vladivostok in the first place. The virtues of the Slavs, others don't know it, don't they know it ?! Swallowed something in the mouth. You don't want to come back.

China is now one of the most important fighting forces of the allies, and is no longer a colony of the same nations it once was. There was no reason for Churchill and Hull to run to China's mold for the sake of the Soviet Union.

Besides. Would it be good for Britain and the United States for the Slavs to have an extra outlet to the sea?! Britain now only needs to mix in the Atlantic, since the Japanese were beaten by the Wehrmacht in Southeast Asia, the British Empire is dead to the Indian Ocean.

Even after the end of the future war, the British Empire's spheres of activity would be limited to the Atlantic. So, they don't care much about the Pacific at all.

The United States, on the other hand, does not want a new competitor in the Pacific. The emergence of China is now inevitable. Then it would be better for the two countries to divide their respective sea areas.

If only there was one more Slav. I don't know how much of the cake will have to be carved out again. Therefore, Hull was certainly not willing to help Stalin persuade the coalition government to lease Vladivostok.

At the mention of Vladivostok, Stalin's mood was mixed. Vladivostok fell from his hands to China, and the Soviet Union lost an extremely important ice-free port.

Stalin had always tried his best to get Vladivostok back, but unfortunately he never succeeded. This time the temptation was also, after learning that Vladivostok could not be recovered, Stalin also gave up this demand.

The new Allied strategy was also established, and the U.S. Army units would continue to be formed and sent to the Soviet battlefield to assist the Soviets in the war. The British army was responsible for providing air support and material assistance.

On the premise of providing certain equipment and materials, the US military formed a new Pacific Fleet to attack the Japanese mainland and force Japan to surrender. Then. The Allies were to transfer the main combat mission to the Soviet Union.

The Southeast Asian side has been pacified, and the National Defense Forces will form a new East Asian combat group. Then troops from Thailand, Burma, Annam and other places were sent to India.

After the capture of India. Then march to Afghanistan. Following the offensive route of the former Japanese army, the German army was encircled from the flank.

Hull was very satisfied with the attitude of the Wehrmacht towards the US attack on Japan, so the United States was much more generous in its assistance to China. Even the generosity made Stalin jealous.

U.S. assistance to the Wehrmacht and the coalition government includes 10 ocean-going tankers, 50 freighters, 20 33-meter-long hunting submarines, 1,200 marine diesel engines, and 800 Olikon guns...... Wait a minute.

Churchill agreed to lease one battleship and nine cruisers to Wehrmacht units in order to mend relations with the coalition government and apologize for Britain's attitude towards the previous events in Southeast Asia.

At the same time, Britain will also provide 200 sets of sonar equipment and 300 sets of radars to the Wehrmacht Navy.

Stalin was tempted to scold when he got the news, but he held back. He knew that now the Soviet Union had to rely on the Allies, especially the Wehrmacht, to fight against Germany.

There is no point in arguing at this time. The Tiger had managed his relationship with Britain and the United States to the extreme, and both the former British Empire and the current Pacific hegemon had to curry favor with the newly rising Tiger of the Far East to a certain extent.

Without him, because the gun in his hand is strong enough. Because the millions of troops under his command are fierce enough. As long as this force remained in the ranks of the Allies, the Allies would have a chance to turn the tables even if Germany made great progress in the Soviet Union.

The Wehrmacht has only three million troops on active duty, and the latest census of the entire coalition government shows that the total population of the country has reached more than 530 million.

That is, they have enough population for them to conscript and not affect the productivity of the country too much. And, the Wehrmacht has always had a retirement period.

Most of the grassroots officials at all levels in China have service or even actual combat experience. At the same time, they are also members of the Defence Force Reserve and are responsible for the training of the local reserve in addition to local government affairs. In other words, if necessary, the Defence Force can quickly organize a force no less than the current strength of the force.

Of course, the relative combat effectiveness will be worse than that of the Wehrmacht in active service.

With that said, all that's left is a framework of rules. None of these matters, whether Lin Sen, Tu Mengben, Hull and others interfered, and naturally the subordinate officials below would be responsible.

Everyone was in harmony and held a cocktail party followed by a press conference to announce that the allies had won the first phase. The second phase of the conquest of the Axis powers is about to begin.

The news was then spread over the world by radio waves. From Berlin to Rome, from Tokyo to Moscow, everyone was staring at each other, wondering what would happen next for the Allies......

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! "The weather in Moscow had just cleared up a little bit, and the Germans couldn't wait to start bombing Moscow.......

Due to this sudden heavy snowfall, most of the German supplies could not be delivered. Fortunately, the German army had prepared a large amount of supplies for the general attack on Moscow, so for the time being, these are not problems.

"How much have our troops advanced?!" Rundstein lowered his binoculars and asked the chief of staff beside him. The chief of staff shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"We haven't advanced much, and until now we still don't have control over 30% of Moscow. On top of that, these damned allies are like difficult rats, they always hide in the ruins, sneaking up on us after dark to avoid our artillery fire......"

"I don't need to hear the reasons, and I'm sure the Führer won't listen to them." Rundstey rudely interrupted his chief of staff and said coldly: "What I need is Moscow." If they're rats hiding in the rubble, clean up the rubble again! ”

"Since they attack in the dark, then we will continue to attack!" Rundstein turned around and said to his chief of staff: "Presumably you have heard today's broadcast, I don't think those Indians can hold back the Chinese for long." If they deal with the Indians, then a flank encirclement of us can be imposed through Afghanistan......"

"Even though it's winter now, they can't attack us for the time being. But once the winter is over, then what awaits us will be an extremely difficult war......"

As he spoke, Rundstein took a deep breath and said, "Take Moscow as soon as possible, we still have the capital to continue fighting." If you can't take it down......"

The latter words, Rundstein did not say. But the chief of staff knew that if it could not be taken, then Germany would have to stop there.

Mussolini's noodle-eating idiot had said he would send his Italian troops to support, but all the Germans knew that the noodle-eating troops were armed with advanced weapons that even the African black uncles couldn't handle, and if they came to Moscow, the noodle guys would have to flee all over the streets.

For German generals such as Rundstein, it was better for these noodle guys to stay in their own noodle country and eat noodles. Don't come to the battlefield to plague the proud soldiers of Germany.

"A week, I'll give you a week. In a week, our front line must advance to more than 50% of the city area of Moscow! Rundstein turned around and continued to take out his binoculars and look at the battlefield: "If you can't do it, I will send them back to Berlin to explain to the Führer in person!" (To be continued......)
