On January 10, 1934, in the evening, in the Tangshan Airport in Nanjing, where the cold north wind was blowing, Chang Ruiqing, who was neatly dressed in military uniform, stood straight, and several senior officials of the federal government and the National Defense Force stood behind him, including Chang Ruiqing, everyone was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood. This scene made the officers and men of the Central Security Bureau and the Central Guard Division, who are in charge of airport guards, secretly have a lot of associations. Who is visiting today? Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Chang Da personally braved the cold to greet him? And his face was full of joy...... The recent battle doesn't seem too good, right?

First, Japan showed its might, defeating the combined Anglo-American fleet in Hawaii, and then attacked the newly independent Republic of the Philippines, breaking Manila in less than a week and forcing the Philippine government to surrender, although China also took the opportunity to occupy Palawan Island, and also took advantage of the elimination of Borneo GCD and the Red Army to occupy North Borneo and East Kalimantan. ê墒舳 "Caries Felt Uncle" Mei Annoyed Suburb ㄏ Tweet Caries So Cowardly Lots 2 Stunned Collapse A Hanging Crane Tear Tuo 910 Shirt Squeeze 5 Boats Trance ┎ Wave Qi Zhen? br/>

And just three days after the acceptance of the Battle of Hawaii, the Soviet Red Army suddenly invaded Finland without warning! In less than 10 days, before the British and German reinforcements arrived on Finnish soil, the Finnish capital Helsinki was breached, the authorities in Manohheim were expelled, and the chairman of the Finnish GCD, Otto Brown, was established. Virigrimović. The Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of Finland headed by Kuusinen. And two days ago they presented an ultimatum to the Swedish government to interrupt iron ore exports to Germany within 72 hours. Otherwise the USSR would have declared war on Sweden! The situation in this world war seems to be very unpleasant.

But Chang Ruiqing is in a very good mood at the moment, because he has already seen the hope of victory! Today's visit is British Foreign Secretary Anthony Murphy. Aiden and German Foreign Minister Walter. Rathenau. Although it is not the first time that senior British and German officials have visited Nanjing, none of them are more important than today. This is because British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and German Chancellor Adolf Hitler have made it clear in a joint telegram a few days ago that they will appoint representatives to Nanjing to discuss the disposition of Soviet territory after the war and the new world order.

It is too early to discuss a new world order, but the post-war disposition of Soviet territory has given the Chinese government hope of victory, because it means that Britain is ready to really stand with China and Germany, and it means that China can reap the rewards of this world war. Although the Soviet Union now looks very powerful, the senior Chinese officials standing at the airport today know that the strength of China, Britain and Germany is still far superior to that of the Soviet Union, as long as the three countries are truly united. It will be possible to launch a strategic counteroffensive this spring! Moreover, Chang Ruiqing also firmly believes that if the China-Britain-Germany Triple Alliance can be maintained for a long time, the United States, which has historically been the world hegemon, will probably have no chance to lead the world. In the future, China will have a fairly relaxed external environment.

In the reverie of Chancellor Chang Da, a German HE111 passenger plane painted with a striking iron cross appeared in the sky. Soon the plane was firmly parked on the runway, and when the gangway was lowered, a bald Jewish with a big belly got out of the plane. Seeing Chang Ruiqing, he strode over. "Mr. Prime Minister. We meet again. ”

As he spoke, he hugged Chang Ruiqing, as if he had not seen his best friend for many years. Chang Ruiqing and the German Jewish Foreign Minister did have some personal friendship, and the two exchanged a few words, and the tall and thin British Foreign Secretary Aiden leaned out of the cabin. Compared with the German fat foreign minister, Anthony. Aiden was much more reserved, smiling like a true English gentleman, waving at the crowd with his top hat in his right hand, and then walked down gracefully with his cane.

"Mr. Prime Minister. Nice to meet you. Aiden greeted Chang Ruiqing tepidly in Oxford English, and then, at Chang Ruiqing's invitation, got into an elongated Chinese Dragon bulletproof car with the Jewish foreign minister sent by Hitler.

The sedan sped along the wide road towards the Tangshan Mansion. Far from downtown Nanjing, Tangshan, where the important departments of the Federal Government and the National Defense Force are now concentrated, are flanked on both sides of the road by tall buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles, although not luxurious, but show an oriental sense of calmness, which is quite commensurate with the international status that the country currently has.

Chang Ruiqing's Tangshan official residence is not far from the airport, just diagonally opposite the Federal Chancellery and the Ministry of National Defense, surrounded by a reinforced concrete wall, a bulky iron gate controlled by electricity has been opened in advance, and the sedan drove into the gate between two rows of Central Guard Division sentries holding Type 31 automatic rifles and standing facing each other.

Because it was a secret visit, Chang Ruiqing did not prepare any luxurious welcome banquet for the British and German foreign ministers, but only arranged a simple family banquet, and after the meal, the first round of negotiations began in the small living room next to the dining room.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the purpose of my visit with Mr. Rathenau is believed to be fully understood by you, and it is a vital effort by our three countries to win the world of the future. But before the formal negotiations begin, I would like to thank your country for your help in the turmoil in British North Borneo. The British Empire will not let its allies pay for nothing, and in return we have decided to transfer the protection of Brunei to your country. ”

The British's art at war has been abandoned, but their diplomatic skills have been increasingly sophisticated, and in just a few words, the North Borneo problem, which could have become the fuse of the conflict between China and Britain, has been lightly resolved. Of course, it is impossible to take back Sarawak and Sabah with these few words, even if Chang Ruiqing agrees, the British Southeast Asian theater of operations, which is overstretched, will not be able to take out troops to defend it. But the nominal sovereignty of Sarawak and Sabah is a bargaining chip that can be used to make deals with China.

Chang Ruiqing nodded noncommittally, neither admitting Aiden's statement. There is no denial either. Sarawak and Sabah are inevitable, not only in these two territories, but also in Singapore, Malaya and Myanmar. All of the British Empire's possessions in Southeast Asia, China, were to be acquired, including the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines, French Indochina, and Portuguese East Timor. In the future, Nanyang can only be the backyard of the Great Chinese Federation, whether it is the United States, Britain or Germany, it cannot be touched! Today, British Foreign Secretary Eden and German Foreign Minister Rathenau will sit here for talks with Chang Ruiqing, and they are naturally ready to recognize China's rights in the South Seas, and Chang Ruiqing is convinced of this!

This noncommittal attitude towards Prime Minister Chang Da. Aiden sighed softly in his heart, Sarawak and Sabah were at least half of the chips, plus Burma and the Malay Peninsula and non-interference with China's freedom of movement in the Dutch East Indies, French Indochina and the Philippines, and Japan. I should be able to exchange something from China. So he smiled slightly and continued unhurriedly: "Mr. Chancellor, a few days ago, Prime Minister Chamberlain and Chancellor Hitler held an important meeting in Berlin. Certain arrangements for the future post-war world order and interests were discussed. Having also reached agreement on issues of common concern between Britain and Germany, I would like to inform you first of the outcome of the meeting between the leaders of Britain and Germany. ”

"Okay, I'd like to hear from you." Chang Ruiqing glanced at the chubby German Jewish foreign minister sitting next to him, who was slowly sipping a cup of Chinese tea, as if it had nothing to do with today's meeting. In fact, this is probably the case, there is no conflict of interests between China and Germany, the two are too far apart, and Germany has no colonies in Asia. The reason why he accompanied Aiden to Nanjing was actually to prepare to be a peacemaker between China and Britain, if it weren't for the Soviet Union's attack in Northern Europe, it would have been the lifeline of the German Empire. Hitler would have personally accompanied Aiden.

The German Chancellor's interest in carving up the Soviet Union among China, Britain and Germany and then leading the world together is very high! In his opinion, the Germanic peoples were undoubtedly the finest, as the history of Europe and the achievements of the German Empire in industry and science and technology have shown it. However, the luck of the Germanic peoples seems to be a bit reversed, and while the originally insignificant European states of England, Spain, and the Netherlands took advantage of the east wind of the Age of Discovery to build a world empire, the Germanic people were caught up in one internal and external strife and turmoil after another, so that they lost the most precious opportunity for expansion. Although it rose to become the world's first industrial power (not the first industrial power) after the start of the Industrial Revolution by virtue of its racial superiority, the two major bottlenecks of territory and resources became the two major obstacles to the German Empire's rise to the pinnacle of world power. Compared with the world empires that expanded their mana during the Age of Discovery, and seized large swaths of rich colonies, Germany is like a dragon trapped in a small cage, either breaking through the cage and soaring into the sky, or sooner or later it will become a second-rate world power.

Therefore, Wilhelm II did not hesitate to provoke a world war, and wanted to defeat the three powers of Britain, France and Russia to achieve Germany's hegemony, but unfortunately the end of being an enemy of the whole world was very tragic. Therefore, Hitler was not prepared to follow in the footsteps of His Majesty the Emperor, but fortunately, the emergence of the Soviet Union, the sworn enemy of the capitalist world, gave him and Germany a godsend for revival. Because Germany is the shield of the Western world against Soviet expansion, as long as the Soviet Union has the ambition and strength of the world revolution, Germany must be strengthened! Equally benefited was China, a great country bordering the eastern part of the Soviet Union, a miraculously revived country with a common enemy with Germany and therefore its most reliable ally. But Hitler knew that if Germany wanted to go far enough on the road to its rise, China alone was not enough.

Germany needs a truly reliable alliance with the British Empire! And to achieve such an Anglo-German alliance, it is not enough to rely on the common enemy of the Soviet Union, but also to wait for the time when the British Empire will lose its world hegemony. Because only when the British Empire knew that it could no longer retain its world hegemony would it retreat to the next best thing, seeking to lead the world together with Germany, which dominates the European continent, and China, which dominates the East, on the basis of preserving the empire to the maximum.

At the recent Berlin meeting, Chamberlain, the prime minister of the British Empire, finally truly admitted that the British Empire was no longer able to maintain world hegemony, of course, not verbally, but for the first time recognized that a Napoleonic empire-like superpower could appear on the European continent, and this country was Germany! In the Chamberlain Hitler Agreement, which had not yet been formally published, the British Empire recognized the right of the German Empire to form a federation with Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia; the right to annex the territories of the former Soviet Union on the north and south sides of the Greater Caucasus Mountains; It has the right to jointly protect the former Russian territories west of the Ural Mountains with Great Britain. and to foster a disarmed, wēixié republic of West Russia on top of this......

In addition, the Chamberlain Hitler Agreement provided for German "spheres of influence" in Europe, and German power was limited to Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans. After helping Sweden and Finland defeat the USSR. German teams are not allowed to remain in the Nordic region.

In addition, the Agreement also stipulated that Germany's naval power should not exceed 35% of the total tonnage of the British navy in terms of capital ships, aircraft carriers, submarines, and navy.

But what excited Hitler and the Wehrmacht top brass the most was that there was also a separate French clause in the Pact, whereby the British Empire would not be involved in any conflict or war between the German Empire and the French Republic!

In other words, Britain has completely abandoned her old ally, France, and no longer seeks to maintain the Franco-German balance!

France is definitely finished! No, it's the Franco-Russian alliance that is about to emerge!!

Come to think of it. Chang Ruiqing's face changed slightly, revealing a solemn look. Historically, the French had the help of the British, and the tanks were not inferior in quantity and quality to the Germans. It's all bulldozed by the German blitzkrieg! In the current time and space, Germany's military strength is more than twice as strong as in 1939 in history, and there are accomplices like China, how dare the French go it alone? If you really wait until China, Britain and Germany have broken up the Soviet Union. Is there still a way for France to survive?

So this "Chamberlain-Hitler Pact" only needs to be exposed. Daladier is probably going to leave for Moscow immediately, right? It seems that it won't be long before the situation between China and Germany against France and Russia will be the case, and these British guys are really clever in calculating their allies! I don't know what trap Chamberlain prepared for China?

"Mr. Prime Minister, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain also hopes to reach a similar agreement with you to determine the distribution of interests between China and Britain in Asia." After introducing the deal between Britain and Germany, Aiden began to get to the point, and the fat foreign minister of Germany no longer tasted tea, but sat up straight with his hands crossed, and looked at Chang Ruiqing with a smile. Aiden said: "Now I want to say a few words about the requirements of the British Empire. He accentuated his tone, noting: "India has long been hailed as the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. This gem is something that the empire cannot give up no matter what! ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded, as if he had approved the British's request. He was still a little interested in India's "fertile" land, but after carefully consulting several experts from the Ministry of Agriculture, he learned that India's land is not all fertile, in fact, the fertility of the land is not directly proportional to the amount of rainfall and temperature, and most of the really fertile land is not in the warm and humid tropics, but in the subtropics and temperate zones, which are relatively arid and cold. Because excessive precipitation in the tropics will take away nutrients from the soil, and excessive temperatures are not conducive to the growth of grain crops, the so-called three crops a year does not equal high yields...... Of course, the Indonesian island of Java is a special case. In India, where much of the land is barren due to high temperatures and excessive rainfall, only the arid Punjab region in northwestern India is the real breadbasket. If Punjab is lost, India will not be able to feed so many people, and it is probably not an exaggeration to say that controlling Punjab is controlling India's job for Ah San, right?

However, now this granary, which can feed more than 300 million Indian Asan, is firmly controlled by the Soviet Indian Front and the Indian Red Army...... In a country where eating is a problem, whoever has guns and food is the boss!

Therefore, it will not be long before the foundation that the British have painstakingly managed for more than 100 years will have to be pulled out by the revolutionary storm of GCD, and even if the Soviet Union fails in the future, it will be difficult for Britain to re-establish its colonial rule in India. If the British really value India so much, I am afraid that they will launch a counteroffensive before the autumn harvest this year, whether it succeeds or not, in short, it will definitely destroy the agricultural production in the Punjab! But do the British have such strength?

Chang Ruiqing looked at Aiden, obviously waiting for the other party to ask for help. But Aiden went on to say that the British Empire wanted to dominate the Middle East and the Near East in addition to India, but the British Empire could guarantee that China's oil interests in Kuwait would not be violated, and that German companies would be responsible for Iraq's oil development." ”

Chang Ruiqing's face was a little unpleasant, he naturally knew how much oil there was in the Persian Gulf! If the British had taken control of the Persian Gulf after the war, they would have been able to catch up with half of the US imperialists! If the situation in India can be straightened out again and turned into a production workshop of the British Empire, coupled with the land and resources of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other places, the possibility of rejuvenating the second spring is not impossible!

However, the Germans have no idea about the Middle East now, and they are very satisfied with the right to extract oil from Iraq, so Rathenau spoke for Britain with a smile: "Mr. Prime Minister, the Middle East has been dominated by Britain since the First World War, and we should respect the rights of the British Empire there, just as we respect China's rights in East Asia and the South Seas." ”

"What do you think, Mr. Aiden?" Chang Ruiqing glanced at the British Foreign Secretary. Aiden lit a cigar, took two puffs and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, in addition to India and the Middle East, our British Empire's requirements in Asia are also to be able to jointly administer the Central Asian region and Western Siberia of the former Soviet Union with your country. It was hoped that an East Russian republic would be established in Western Siberia, and several small states in Central Asia would be established under the joint protection of China and Britain. Furthermore...... We don't have any demands on the rest of Asia, China can do whatever it wants! ”

Chang Ruiqing's face changed a few times, and a plan to carve up the Eurasian continent was already in front of him, although it was proposed by the British Foreign Secretary, but he must have consulted with Germany, but I don't know whether Hitler was ready to support Britain on the Asian issue. So Chang Ruiqing looked at Rathenau with an inquiring eye.

The German Foreign Minister shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I think the spoils of the Soviet Union are huge enough to allow our three countries to have enough living space for the next few hundred years, right?" He glanced at Chang Ruiqing and said: "On the question of how to distribute the spoils, our Chancellor Mr. Hitler's opinion is that the harvest should be equated with the giving, and if you want to get more, you should pay more!" Does Mr. Prime Minister agree with this? ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded, this is indeed a fairer way, in this world war, it is impossible to get something for nothing. So he looked at Aiden and said, "I wonder how the British Empire is going to recover the Middle East and India?" Do you need our help? ”

Aiden smiled slightly, nodded, and said: "This is another issue that I came to China to discuss with Mr. Prime Minister, but before that, I want to know first, how does China plan to defeat Japan, the main culprit that undermines the harmony and stability of the Pacific?" Do you need the help of the British Empire? ”

Chang Ruiqing knew that Aiden wanted to play the "Japan issue" as a card, and everyone knew that China did not want the United States to extend its hand to the western Pacific, so it provided Japan with a lot of help and asked this country to act as cannon fodder against the United States.

And the factor that determines how much power this cannon fodder can exert is not only China, but the British Empire also has a certain say in this regard! If Britain and the United States work together, there is really a question mark over how long Japan can support it. If Britain had adopted a policy of "passive resistance to Japan," Japan would have been able to seize the Philippines and most of the Dutch East Indies, and with the resources there to support it, Soviet Japan would have been able to give US imperialism some trouble.

But wouldn't it be in the interests of the British Empire to let the United States and Japan consume each other? I still want China to pay something for this, this Aiden's negotiation skills are not ordinarily high!
