Although the four rogue gangsters of China, the United States, Britain, and Germany have reached a consensus on the issue of "nuclear non-proliferation," there are still serious differences among the four countries on the issue of ending the war and dealing with the three defeated countries of the Soviet Union, Japan, and India. In fact, it was an uneven distribution of spoils, China and Germany swallowed almost all the fruits of victory, while the United States and Britain gained very little, almost losing their old capital, but the United States and Britain did not dare to propose to participate in the division of the Soviet Union and Japan, but they only held on to the issue of war reparations, believing that the aggression of the Soviet Union, Japan and India had caused great losses to the United States and Britain and must be compensated! If the Soviet Union and Japan were divided between China and Germany after the war, then their compensation obligations should fall on China and Germany, otherwise all the benefits would be scooped up by China and Germany, and it would be too unfair for Britain and the United States to get nothing in the end. Of course, Hitler did not hesitate to refuse, but Chang Ruiqing was noncommittal, so the first day of the Berlin Peace Conference did not go smoothly. In the end, it almost ended in displeasure, and even the scheduled dinner was not held.

After the meeting, Chang Ruiqing convened Liao Zhongkai, Wang Jingwei, and Huang Ying, ambassador to Germany, overnight to discuss the next countermeasures. As long as Hitler resists and refuses to bear the Soviet Union's obligation to pay war reparations, China will not take the initiative to make concessions.

Wang Jingwei thought that it was appropriate to back down a little, and anyway, there was no need to scoop up real money, it was just a little bond, in fact, the Americans were not bad for this money, they just wanted to save face, so that they could have an explanation in front of the domestic people, so that the United States would look more like a victorious country, that is, China proposed to use 100-year bonds to repay Japan for war reparations, and Roosevelt would certainly happily agree. And China can also make demands on the United States in other places, such as the issue of "world currency" and the issue of "international trade rules".

Liao Zhongkai believes that since the debt must be repaid one day, even if it is 100 years. After all, China scooped up more than 10 million square kilometers of land in the process of carving up the Soviet Union, and even if the Soviet Union bears the obligation of 10 billion US dollars in reparations, it is worth it, which is equivalent to a few hundred dollars of Chinese dollars "bought" a square kilometer of land. However, if Japan bears the liability of billions of dollars, I am afraid that there will be different opinions in China, after all, there is not much oil and water in Japan, and it is not worth billions of dollars no matter how you look at it.

Liao Zhongkai's views were supported by Huang Ying, who had been in Europe for more than ten years, most of the time as ambassador to Germany, and knew German affairs very well, in his opinion, Hitler was a big son who would not pay for the Soviet Union, and Britain and the United States did not dare to offend Germany at all, as long as China followed Germany on this issue, there was no need for the Soviet Union and Japan to bear any obligation to pay reparations.

Moreover, the United States and Britain are not necessarily really trying to scoop up the bonds of China and Germany when they raise the issue of war reparations, but they want to use this issue as a bargaining chip. According to Huang Yin's analysis, what the United States and Britain are fighting for now is no longer the post-war territory, but post-war economic interests, such as the "world monetary system" and the "world trade and investment system". The British may want to have a greater share and say in the former, while the United States values trade freedom and investment freedom more.

Chang Ruiqing believes that the opinions of the two are actually the same thing, and this time the Berlin Peace Conference is to put it bluntly, the four major powers are making a deal, with the aim of striving for more interests for their respective countries in the post-war world. And because of the powerful nuclear weapons, and the most powerful of the four major military powers, China and Germany, also carved up the Soviet Union and Japan to achieve snake swallowing elephants, and there is no need to worry about the problem of living space in the next few hundred years, so they have also lost the motivation to continue to fight - perhaps Hitler still has the ambition to rule the world in his heart, but the German people are too satisfied with what they have gained in the war, and they are unwilling to fight again, and the will of the whole nation is like this, and Hitler has nothing to do. As for China, starting from Chang Ruiqing to the point where every ordinary person no longer wants to fight, the most important thing is to digest the gains of this war. Therefore, although China and Germany have strong military strength, they do not pose much threat to the United States and Britain. Therefore, the four hooligans of China, the United States, Britain and Germany can now only resolve the entanglement of interests between them through negotiation and bargaining.

Now that China and Germany have taken a big advantage in terms of territory, they cannot afford to suffer in terms of international trade rules and the world monetary system, and in order to develop the newly occupied land, they need American capital, so they can only afford the "reparations payable" of the Soviet Union and Japan and exchange the bonds that will be repaid in 100 years in exchange for immediate benefits. Of course, this was just wishful thinking on its own, and judging by Hitler's attitude, Germany seemed ready to make concessions to Britain and the United States on other fronts.

Just when everyone fell silent, Adjutant Chancellor Chen Xinrui suddenly pushed the door in and reported: "Chancellor, I have just received a phone call from Hitler's office informing me that the next meeting will be held on May 5, and the discussion will be on the post-war international trade and monetary system. In addition, President Hitler would like to invite you and his wife to dinner in an hour at the official residence of the Intramuros. ”

"Prime Minister, the next stage of negotiations is very critical, we are all weak now in terms of international trade and the world monetary system, and it is very likely that Britain, the United States and Germany will scoop out a plan that is not in my favor." In the past two days, Wang Ching-wei has already had contacts with diplomats from Britain, the United States, and Germany, and has heard some of the intentions of these three countries.

He went on to say: "The United States and Germany may agree on the issue of free trade, they are both manufacturing powers, and they need an open international market to digest their products, while Britain is very ambiguous on this issue, their interests are now mainly in finance, as long as the United States and Germany make a little concession to Britain in the world monetary system, Britain may support free trade." ”

"Prime Minister, on these two issues, we must fight to the end, the world monetary system is directly related to the amount of domestic capital in our country, and the premature implementation of free trade will impact our domestic market." Liao Zhongkai immediately proposed that he was a member of the Zhongg Party and a member of the Political Bureau, although he belonged to the "rightist" in the Zhongg, but in the political and economic viewpoint, he was actually biased to the left, of course, he was opposed to trade liberalization.

"Mr. Zhongkai, we can't take advantage of all aspects, otherwise there will be no way to open the Berlin Peace Conference, and we won't be able to confront the whole white world." Wang Jingwei immediately raised a different opinion, and Liao Zhongkai did not refute, but looked at Chang Ruiqing and waited for his decision.

"There are gains and losses, I agree with Zhao Ming's opinion, China cannot take advantage of it, otherwise Britain, the United States and Germany will definitely not do it." Chang Ruiqing smiled slightly and said: "What we can get at the negotiation table in Berlin must also be compatible with our military strength. He paused, and then said: "My opinion is that we should strive as much as possible on the issue of the world monetary system, and the guarantee of the initial issuance of 'world currency' should be the land and gold reserves of each country, and the distribution standard for the issuance of additional currency in each year in the future should be the increase in the gross national product." On the issue of trade, we should make concessions and agree to trade and investment liberalization, but we need to set a period of protection, which is five years after the end of the world war. ”

Liao Zhongkai and Wang Jingwei's expressions became grim, and they all thought that the "five-year protection period" proposed by Chang Ruiqing was too short. Although the strength of the heavy industry of the Federation of Great China is not weak, and it is still stronger than the United Kingdom and ranks third in the world, China's heavy industry is strong in scale, and its competitiveness and technology are not good, let alone the United Kingdom, even if the technology and competitiveness of French and Italian heavy industry enterprises are probably more than China! As for China's light industry, it is even weaker, not to mention any technology and competitiveness, even the output is not enough, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the domestic market in the event of a war, and a short five-year protection period can allow the weak Chinese industry to face the competition of large Anglo-American and German companies?

"Well, this issue needs to be carefully considered, call the country, and ask for opinions." Chang Ruiqing has the experience of later generations, of course, he does not think that the industry of the Great China Federation, which concentrates Chinese mainland, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, the four manufacturing powers (regions) of the later generations, will be squeezed by the manufacturing industry of the United States and Germany, if it is real free trade, it is precisely the manufacturing industry of the United States and Europe that needs to be worried!

After Chang Ruiqing finished speaking, he stood up: "It's almost time now, I'm going to accompany Hitler to dinner, and by the way, exchange free trade and world currency with him." Zhong Kai, Zhao Ming, we must have confidence in our own industries, they are not so fragile, as long as there is an appropriate mechanism, we will definitely catch up with the United States and surpass Germany, so what we have to think about now is not protection, but how to create a good environment and mechanism. The five-year period of protection is used to do these things, and I believe that as long as the business environment improves and the market mechanism is established, the merchants and workers of our country will certainly behave as well as our soldiers.
