Zhang Shusheng welcomed the Germans, to be precise, Hitler's demands and conditions. After Ou Yangming finished speaking, Mao Yun first sent several copies of the negotiation to everyone.

Zhang Shusheng had seen it a long time ago, and he felt a little unbelievable about Hitler's determination.

For the three conditions, he sees it this way.

The first attack from Central Asia to Europe and the opening of the Sino-German land passage was a strategic turning point, and if this goal was achieved, the Germans could truly launch a full-scale general attack on the Soviet Union with the support of China.

At this time, the Soviet Union was far weaker than the era in Zhang Shusheng's memory, most of the land was lost in the hands of China and Germany, and the rest was either bombed into a mess, or the cold and poor areas in the north, which can really be said to be in the ruins, if there was no continuous supply and support from the Americans from the direction of the Arctic Ocean, from aircraft and artillery to guns and ammunition, and even directly dispatched troops to hold the area east of Leningrad in the north of the Soviet Union, preventing the Germans from breaking through the Soviet defense line from the north, thus forming a roundabout encirclement.

At present, the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield is very simple, the Germans are concentrating heavy forces on the frontal battlefield and fighting fiercely with the Soviets, while in the south they are blocked by the Soviets, and there is still a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers from Central Asia occupied by China, and the Leningrad battlefield in the north is assisted by the reinforced US troops and the US air force to assist the Soviet army in defense, and it is also difficult for the German army to break through quickly.

After several years of fighting, Hitler never expected such a situation between the Soviet Union and Germany. Of course, the Germans did not gain nothing, but controlled the whole of Europe, got most of Africa and the entire Pan-Middle East, it can be said that Germany's Nazi territory is unprecedentedly large, larger than China's existing territory, but the latter is really included as a territory, the former is called a sphere of influence.

"The Germans first requested, and we could grant them, that we would send troops to attack India and Afghanistan as long as they could follow through on their promises. Moreover, once the curtain falls on the Great Indian War, we want half of India and Afghanistan, this is the bottom line, and the Germans will have to show a little sincerity if they want to ask for help.

It has not been a matter of months since they shouted that they would attack India, so why did they delay the attack? Don't you want to see us fight more vigorously with the Allies, hehe. ”

For the first request, Zhang Shusheng is willing to accept it conditionally.

As for the reasons for the slowdown of the Germans' attack on India, he knew all too well, because China had done exactly the same thing in Central Asia, and it had done so earlier than the Germans.

The Germans were explained by a host of excuses for the instability of the newly occupied territories, the need for consolidation of new provinces, and the drag of the Great Migration policy on military plans. It seems very reasonable, after all, the Germans conquered a region, mostly to support puppet regimes or Nazi regimes, while China is different, and if you come, you will not leave, so it will naturally be more troublesome.

As a result, although China has attacked everywhere in Central Asia, the main force has been slow to attack the hinterland of Ukraine and open up a land passage with the Germans, once this is opened, China's aid materials can be quickly transported to Central Asia through the Baocheng line-Lanxin line-Xinhuo line, and then sent to the Germans through Ukraine.

Again, the point is that once the land passage is opened, the Soviets will lose the southern gateway and will eventually die quickly.

Although the reason for Zhang Shusheng's delay in attacking the hinterland of Central Asia was due to the unresolved problem of the Far East, the real reason was to make Germany and the Soviet Union fight more fiercely.

In anger, Hitler also ordered to slow down the pace of attacking India, and watched the fierce fighting between China and the Allies from the other side. However, Hitler originally thought that with the Allied forces of India, the worst could destroy the new Southeast Asian provinces of the Chinese, but the result was a big surprise, a million Allied troops and a million [***] teams actually fought in the jungles of Southeast Asia for a year, and the Allies have always been suppressed and difficult to decide on a breakthrough, not to mention the plan formulated in the early stage of the strategy to attack the high-tech economic and industrial zone in southwest China, which now seems to be a fantasy.

Therefore, Hitler made the plan to attack India and attack the Allies in the belly as one of the quid pro quo.

"The chairman of the committee is right, although our losses on the battlefield in Southeast Asia are not big at present, if we do not make a decision for a long time, it will still be a considerable drag on our national strength and long-term plans." Zhou Guolai, as the premier of the State Council, is in charge of the country's government affairs and has the most right to speak.

The rest of the people also expressed their opinions, and basically agreed, and at this time, China no longer needs to worry about that little calculation, the Germans should suffer the loss, the Soviets should suffer, and the land that China should get is almost in hand.

Zhang Shusheng saw that there was no opposition from everyone, and sighed secretly, but he said some thoughts in his heart, "Comrades, the war cannot go on forever, and World War II cannot last forever, and we cannot sit on the wall and watch the fire forever. The belligerents have now reached a point where they are struggling, and most of the other countries, with the exception of the Americans, who are far away from Eurasia and have not yet been affected by the war, have done their best and are on the verge of collapse.

On the other hand, if we look a little further, more and more territory of the Soviet Union, the territory of Central Asia, half of India, half of the Middle East can be our next target. If we look closer, the war in the Far East will be completely over in two to three months, and then this problem will have to be solved, and our attitude toward World War II will need to change. ”

After a slight pause, he continued, "Therefore, on the premise of getting enough benefits exchange, attacking the hinterland of Central Asia, opening up the land passage between China and Germany, destroying the Soviet Union, and attacking the homeland, these are all things we must do next."

The situation between China and the Soviet Union and between China and China is exactly the same, they are all undying enemies, and if China wants to obtain an external environment for calm development after the end of World War II, it must eliminate these two countries by thunderous means. ”

This is the first time that Zhang Shusheng has revealed his strategic arrangements for World War II most clearly, and he has never expressed his decision so clearly in previous meetings, large and small meetings, or even such small high-level talks.

"Chairman, according to your ideas, once World War II ends, we can at least maintain a very magnificent situation, as far as Ukraine and the Middle East, as far as half of India and the whole of Japan, which, this almost means that we are the only ones left in the whole of Asia, China......

Everyone was a little dumbfounded, they never imagined that Zhang Shusheng's determination was so great, and that 600 million Chinese would actually rule the whole of Asia, or even a place larger than Asia.

If you think about it carefully, everyone finds that China's current territory is already very large, and 70% of the territory in the south and Southeast Asia is in China's hands, which is a province in Southeast Asia. In the entire South China Sea, only Indonesia is still in the hands of devils, and even the Philippines has become part of the island-based Hanzhong Province. Further north, Taiwan is in Chinese hands, and the Far East is about to fall into Chinese hands, even most of the Soviet Union.

Judging from the map, this is a breathtakingly magnificent situation.

"Yes, this is our World War II territory!"

Zhang Shusheng walked to the big map, picked up the pen with the thickest pen and ink, and pulled a huge circle on the huge map, which was twice as large as the original Chinese rooster territory. Among them, the Soviets contributed the most, providing almost a multi-rooster territory to China.

Occupying such a huge territory, in addition to being so strong that the people of Asia could not resist, more than 600 million Chinese, the people of Southeast Asia who submitted to China, the former Filipinos and Soviets who were divided and tamed are also a part, and the total sum of the entire World War II to the present, China's territory has expanded to more than twice its original size, and the population under the entire ruling territory has increased from 600 million to 700 million.

Of course, it is not that there is no opposition and resistance, but they are all eliminated by thunderous means, Zhang Shusheng wants to push the wheel of history to accelerate forward, and some mantis ants that block the car are destined to be eliminated.

"Thirty years ago, I never imagined that our territory would be so big. China can be called the great empire of China!! ”

After all, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili are not indigenous officials in the southwest, and they joined the southwest halfway, and now they are really embarrassed to see that China has come to this point.

The chairman in front of him seems to be no much different from more than 20 years ago, he is still kind and smiling, giving people the feeling of a scholar-type head of state. Unexpectedly, thirty years have passed since he made his fortune from Dongchuan Lishuping, and he has actually come step by step to the unprecedented height of today.

"I think Minister Cai has a point, I saw an interesting editorial in the newspaper some time ago, commentators believe that China can change its name even if it does not implement the imperial system quickly, the republic is no longer suitable for today's Chinese title, and changing the name to the Chinese Empire may be more inspiring to people's imperial ambitions."

Wei Sancai of the Propaganda Department interjected at the right time.

"Well, I also read this report, and there is some truth in what it says, we can not discuss whether the imperial system is restored or not, and the matter of changing the name of the country can be argued, the title of the republic is indeed not as atmospheric and proud as the empire."

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile that he was very much in favor of changing it to the Chinese Empire, and this title was not implemented at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, mainly because China's national strength at that time was far less than today, and the problems it faced were not as complex as today.

"Great, the Government Council will work with various departments to demonstrate, and it would be great if it could catch up with next year's National Day." At this time, even Zhou Guolai, the old and dignified Premier of the Government Council, couldn't help but smile and laugh.

After another discussion, Zhang Shusheng finally said, "The material aid proposed by the Germans can be promised to them, after all, we have a great use for ready-made Middle East oil and reserve gold." Even if we can occupy the Middle East and get the gold back, it will be a long time later. The expansion of the territory, the continuous enhancement of national strength, a large amount of energy, rare metals, gold is what we urgently need.

The Germans' purchases allowed us to eliminate our stocks and existing inferior equipment and give them use, but they could overwhelm the Soviets and counter the Allied plot to open a second battlefield and overthrow the Nazi regime.

Don't give the technology, you don't have equipment to buy, anyway, they don't want to send someone to help repair the railway, and it will be very convenient to transport it in the future.

As for the list of weapons and equipment that we promised to trade, it will depend on the final hole cards of the Germans. ”
