"What? Negotiate with the United States to resolve the conflict between the United States and Japan? Matsuoka looked at the guard opposite excitedly, stood up and said, "How can this be done?" I'm the Foreign Minister! I do not agree with such an approach, we can only be tough on the United States, and if there is any weakness, the United States will feel that we are not determined enough, and we will definitely gain an inch! ”

Konoe persuaded and explained, "This is a helpless move, the United States is too strong, if it really goes to war because of contradictions, the gains outweigh the losses, it is better not to fight or not to fight." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Matsuoka shook his head right and said, "I'm against it!" I firmly oppose it, if you want to do this, you can do it yourself, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not do it. ”

As he spoke, Hiroshi Matsuoka picked up the guard's phone in front of the guard and wanted to call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to give an order.

When Konoe saw that this was worth it, he grabbed the phone and said, "Matsuoka Yoyou!" Are you crazy? ”

Matsuoka pushed away the guards and said, "I think you're crazy, if you do this, you will definitely regret it, the Americans are wolves, as long as they see the opportunity, they will not let go but will pounce fiercely, didn't you listen to what Roosevelt said?" He wants us to withdraw from China, so I ask you, have you done it? If it can't be done, why show weakness, it is better to continue to be tough, but it will make the United States fall into the trap. ”

Konoe and Matsuoka had a big fight in the office, and in the end, Konoe had no choice but to die with Matsuoka in the form of the general resignation of the cabinet.

Because Konoe's talk and the strategy of not fighting again was appreciated by Hirohito, the day after Konoe's resignation, he formed a cabinet again, and only the foreign minister was replaced, and nothing else changed.

But what Konoe didn't know was that Hideki Tojo, who was silently watching him beside him and kept admonishing the new cabinet, was squinting at something.

--United States

Jiang Cheng, who placed an order in Hyundai, once again came to the United States in the time and space of the Republic of China, and when he turned on the TV and watched Roosevelt's continuous condolences to the troops and factories in various places, he couldn't help but smile.

"What are the proprietors laughing at?" He Ankang looked at Jiang Cheng smiling, and asked a little timidly, he still couldn't figure out his preferences as a mysterious owner, for fear that he had done something wrong.

Jiang Cheng pointed to the TV and said, "Do you see something?" ”

He Ankang looked at the TV, shook his head for a while, and said, "I don't see anything, it's almost Christmas recently, and it's normal for President Roosevelt to go around to offer condolences." ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "The current TV is all recorded and played, you look at these condolences videos, either in the barracks or in a closed factory, none of them are in a place where ordinary people can see them, this is very abnormal, Roosevelt I understand, if he wants to play a pro-people drama, he will definitely go to the community or the construction site, this is to prevent anyone from detecting whether he is in the United States." ”

He Ankang was stunned for a moment, thought about the information he had read, and asked, "Does the owner mean that Roosevelt is no longer in the United States?" ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, Roosevelt has already gone to see Churchill, forget it, don't care about our affairs." What happens to the sage I want you to set up? ”

The Sage Club is Jiang Cheng's first important task for He Ankang, He Ankang naturally values it tightly, he is a little excited and a little nervous and said, "According to the meaning of the owner, all the original spy personnel of the various ministries have been stripped out, and the dark department has been established, and in the name of the Sage Society, troops have been recruited all over the United States, and the headquarters of the Sage Club has also been established, but now most of the people in our dark department are white, not my race, and their hearts must be different..."

Jiang Cheng nodded appreciatively to He Ankang and said, "It's good that you understand this, but you also have to remember that even if you are of the same clan, are there fewer traitors?" The Sage Club is just a cover for collecting intelligence, don't take it too seriously, but the people in the dark department must know that they are loyal to the Sage Society, not us, so that even if someone finds out anything in the future, they will not know that it is our role in it, and cooperate with Chen Nan's side, and in the future, the dark part will be divided into three parts, one is the fallen angel, which is dedicated to investigating the intelligence of the Axis powers, one is the Seraph, which is responsible for British and American intelligence, and the last one is the Seven Deadly Sins, which is responsible for cleaning up the portal and eliminating some unwanted people, and the ministries are not subordinate to each other, all of which are in charge of the Sage Society, and I will send someone to take over this in the future. ”

He Ankang nodded in response, Jiang Cheng exhaled lightly and said, "In the end, all the scientists we detained will find a way to transfer to China, and Roosevelt went to see Churchill to discuss the conditions for joining the war, as long as they negotiate, the United States will press the Axis countries to start a war against them step by step!" ”

He Ankang said with a smile: "Once the United States starts a war, our victory will be approaching." ”

Jiang Cheng glanced at He Ankang, shook his head and said, "No... This is just the beginning, by the way, there is a book here, it will be released immediately, it has already started to sell in Europe, it must be created, and it is better to cause a big discussion! ”

He Ankang took the book, only to see that it read "From the Roman Empire to the Theory of Nationalities"

- Newfoundland in the northern Atlantic

Newfoundland belongs to Canada, and the choice of the meeting venue here also has Roosevelt's considerations, although Britain has begun to decline, but judging from Churchill's words and deeds, Churchill still hopes that Britain can maintain the last glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, and chooses here, one is that this is the territory of Britain, it seems that the United States respects Britain, but in fact this is the Americas, Churchill needs to risk being discovered and sunk by a German submarine to come here, in fact, it is Churchill who really shows weakness.

Every move between major powers often has deep meanings, which are difficult for ordinary people to understand and comprehend.

It was very cold in Newfoundland in the cold winter, and Roosevelt was already inconvenient with his legs and feet, and he was pushed by Hull in a wheelchair to watch the British fleet gradually become clear.

"I suddenly remembered an old Chinese saying that a hungry camel is bigger than a horse, and although the British have been pressed and beaten by Germany for so long, they are still strong in their navy." Roosevelt looked at the British fleet and turned back to Hull and said.

Hull nodded, and said with a smile: "Some time ago, Britain gave the Italian Navy a hard blow in the Mediterranean, and it seems that the navy of the Axis countries is their biggest weakness, such as Germany, which has not dared to have a decisive battle at sea with Britain until now, but relies on submarines to sneak attack everywhere." ”

Roosevelt smiled and said, "I'm Hitler, and I won't easily fight a decisive battle at sea with Britain, the sea hegemon for hundreds of years, okay, they're coming, let's prepare." ”

On December 25, 1941, Roosevelt and Churchill met near the island of Newfoundland in the northern Atlantic, the first summit between Britain and the United States after the start of the war.

According to the agreement, the meeting was to be held on American warships, and the unanimous opinion formed after the signing of the conference on British warships.

Roosevelt looked at Churchill opposite, although Churchill had deliberately dressed up, Roosevelt still saw the tiredness in the depths of Churchill's eyes.

The non-stop bombing of the German army made Britain extremely difficult, steel production fell by a quarter compared with peacetime, the airfield was almost completely destroyed, only the three newly established radar stations were still working, and even recently due to the impact of the Mediterranean naval battle, the Germans still tried to bomb the battleship with aircraft, but the British defense was tight and there was no loss.

"Prime Minister Churchill, it's a pleasure to see you here, first time we met." Roosevelt took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said.

Churchill nodded, glanced at Roosevelt, shook his head, and said, "We are here for justice, liberty, and peace." ”

Roosevelt laughed, "So are we, and I think we should agree." ”

Churchill said straight to the point: "The existence of the Axis powers is a serious threat to the peace of the whole world, and we believe that the United States should shoulder the responsibility of a great power." ”

Roosevelt nodded in agreement and said, "We have enacted the Lend-Lease Act and begun to provide large-scale support to Britain, China, Free France, and all other countries that are willing to fight the fascist government or are unwilling to compromise with the fascist government. It became the arsenal of the free nation, and we thought it was already in charge. ”

Churchill took out his pipe, motioned to Roosevelt, and seeing that Roosevelt didn't mind, he smoked it and said, "We are very grateful for this move by the United States, but we prefer that the United States can directly participate in the war, because the strength of the United States is the productive forces and will become the greatest guarantee for our victory." At the same time, it can also end the war as quickly as possible, so that the world can pay the least price. ”

Roosevelt took a breath and said, "From the last war to the present, the reason why the United States has fallen into isolationism is because after the last war, the American people found that although the war was won, it did not bring real freedom to the people of the world, including the United States, for example, in Asia and Africa, there are still a large number of people living in a political system that they do not want, and trade has also formed an economic crisis due to the closed doors of various countries, we believe that this war must change this fact, otherwise, We cannot mobilize our people into a war that does not seem to have much to do with us. ”

Churchill's eyes narrowed slightly, and to put it bluntly, Roosevelt wanted Churchill to drink a poison of chronic suicide. After colonial independence, open markets, equal opportunities, and free trade, will Britain still be an empire on which the sun never sets? I am afraid that the United States is the biggest winner in this war.

Churchill sighed lightly, did he still have a choice? Roosevelt's supplies only said that they were promised, but in fact, the first batch had not yet been delivered, and Britain would not be able to hold on if it continued to fight like this, and the Egyptian troops in North Africa were also pressed in Egypt and were in danger, and they had to make a decision!

Churchill opened his eyes and said, "We in England agree with your proposal that every nation should have the opportunity and the right to find freedom!" ”

December 27, 1941

Roosevelt and Churchill signed the "Atlantic Declaration" on the British warship, which declared that Britain and the United States would not seek any territory or other aspects, and at the same time did not want to see any territorial changes that were inconsistent with the free expression of the will of the people concerned.

After the signing, Churchill turned his heart on the way back to England, and he betrayed the future of Britain, and he did not know whether it was right or wrong.

At this time, Churchill suddenly felt that the whole ship shook violently, and then there was a loud noise, and the violent shaking made Churchill fall to the ground, Churchill looked around in horror and shouted, "What's wrong?" ”

The shrill sirens and shouts outside answered his questions - "Torpedo!" There are German submarines!! ”

Under Jiang Cheng's reminder, all the German agents desperately collected intelligence, and they were really discovered by German agents when Churchill was leaving at night, and Hitler immediately ordered Dönitz's submarine force to be dispatched, and specially instructed that only the British fleet should be attacked, and the American ships could not be harmed.

After thinking about it, Dönitz thought of a trick and ambushed Churchill on the way back, so as to ensure that the nerves of the United States would not be touched and that the attack would be successful - the main reason was that the speed of the submarines could not catch up with the British fleet that left ahead of schedule, and Dönitz sent a formation of thirty submarines in three squadrons, with the purpose of hitting the British merchant ships if they could hit them, and hitting the British merchant ships if they couldn't.

Fight to the death! After knowing that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was sitting on the battleship, a total of three German submarines on the battlefield were firing torpedoes like crazy, and they were convinced that as long as they killed Churchill, a war maniac, Britain would surrender and the war would end!

Although Churchill had been the Minister of the Navy before, he really had never experienced a decent sea battle, but he still knew what he should do for the first time, he immediately ordered the fleet to fight with peace of mind, and told the other ships that he was fine, and everyone in the fleet knew that it was Churchill sitting on the battleship, seeing that Churchill was so fearless, his morale was greatly boosted, and he frantically fired depth charges and artillery and other weapons, vowing to sink the German submarine that attacked him.

After less than half an hour of fighting, all the German submarines sank, and the British fleet also suffered heavy losses, and the battleship on which Churchill was riding lost a small half of its power, in order to ensure the speed of the fleet, it could only be towed, and one cruiser was seriously injured, two destroyers sank, and the two destroyers sank without exception in order to block the battleship.

Churchill looked at the sailors who were silently cleaning the battlefield on the battleship, and only felt stuffy in his heart, Germany's submarine force was too arrogant, if it continued to develop like this, Britain would have a fleet of escort ships, and it would be slowly depleted, and it seemed that the United States must be pulled into the water.

Churchill had a headache at the thought of Roosevelt, it was an extremely difficult opponent, Britain had given so much, but the United States still did not have any commitment to enter the war, but Churchill believed that the United States would go into the water - it was only a matter of time.
