Chapter 756: Leaving the customs leads to the wind

For the United States, it is its own interests that matter most. As for human rights, freedom, cooking, and the like, it's just a rhetoric to cover up one's behavior. If you want to believe it, it's better to call it naivety. To put it bluntly, it's brain deficiency.

The former director of the CIA said this, and he said it in public: We don't care whether the other side is dictatorial or dish, and whether its regime is in the interests of the United States is the point. If you can't accept it, then bear with it.

If World War II was not fueled by the United States, it would certainly be a lie. In fact, there are already documented references to Wall Street's financial support for Germany before World War II and even before the outbreak of World War II.

Without Britain's appeasement and treacherous intentions, and without the United States' covert fueling, Hitler would not have been able to make a fuss. Unfortunately, each country has its own considerations. It's hard to be consistent.

This is also the reason for the formation of the United Nations after World War II, and the great powers need a place where they can coordinate with each other. Therefore, after World War II, although the major powers still fought openly and covertly, global wars such as World War II never started. Even when the Soviet Union and the United States had clashed many times, a war on a large scale like World War II still did not break out.

That is where the role of the United Nations comes in, to coordinate relations between the major powers so that they can reach consensus on various issues. Of course, the contradictions will still exist after all, and the disputes over interests will not subside. It's just that the nature of war has shifted more to the economy, culture, and mutual infiltration.

The current situation is that Japan has threatened the interests of the United States, especially the American investment in the three eastern provinces and the American workers and technicians employed in the three eastern provinces.

Tu Qianjun's approach is actually a win-win approach. It absorbed the surplus labor force of the United States and arranged them to the three eastern provinces, and at the same time, the three eastern provinces were able to absorb the accumulated technology of the United States at the same time.

At the same time, it accommodates the idle funds of the United States, but most importantly: this practice of the three eastern provinces is tantamount to tying the United States directly to its own chariot, because the interests of the two sides are deeply entangled, which leads to the fact that the United States cannot watch the three eastern provinces collapse.

Otherwise, the United States itself will bleed, and regime change and war will undoubtedly deal a fatal blow to trade. Those who invest in minerals, factories, smelting, and trade in the three eastern provinces...... The consortia will cry to death.

They would absolutely use all their strength to force Roosevelt to prohibit the Japanese army from entering the three eastern provinces. But to do so is tantamount to declaring war on the Japanese army. The three eastern provinces have so much that Japan needs. From steel to oil, from grain to coal, everything is urgently needed by Japan.

This is a natural contradiction, and it is simply possible for the two sides to reconcile.

"Send a diplomatic note and tell the Japanese that we will never watch the killing of civilians happen before our eyes. We firmly believe that all men are created equal, and we firmly believe in justice and fairness. If they continue to insist on doing so, then we will have to take measures that we are not willing to use for the sake of justice. โ€

Roosevelt's remarks were very official. But in fact, the meaning is very clear, to put it bluntly, it is to tell Japan: what you have done in China has gone too far, and you have threatened our interests. If you don't stop again. Then we're going to get started!

"As you wish, my president!" Harry. hใ€‚ Woodlin stood up and shouted at Roosevelt.

And at the same time, Berlin, Germany.

Keep it parted. and the man with the iconic mustache frowning in his office. After a long while, he raised his head to the silent crowd.

"Oh~ This Mr. Tiger is so straightforward. But to be honest, I'm a little hesitant now. To be fair, I admire him immensely. Admire his bravery, his courage and execution of war. โ€

"But it seems that he is not our best ally, and I know that he is married to Princess Federika. But I don't like this very much......" The mustache frowned and said softly, "What did another Asian friend of ours say?!" โ€

Ribbentrop stood up when he heard this, bowed slightly to Hitler, and said, "Honorable Fรผhrer." I think those Asian friends can be trusted. Now their record in Asia, we can see it. Although I still admire Mr. Tiger emotionally, the reality is that our most suitable allies seem to be only these Asian friends......"

Ribbentrop's words were a bit of duplicity, but in fact he knew from the bottom of his heart that Hitler had done so because of the inconsistencies between the Tiger and the German Imperial Family.

This made Hitler feel greatly threatened, and from the bottom of his heart he was extremely dissatisfied. You know, Hitler had privately promised the royal family to give them status at the right time.

But as things progressed, Hitler stopped thinking that way at all. The Junkers were hindered by Hitler's prestige and control. I had to pretend that there was no such thing.

This hurt the German royal family, and you must know that at first Hitler did not act in their name. But that's what politics is all about, when the strong and the weak are reversed, promises are bullshit.

The fact that the Tiger had been at odds with the royal family and was now marrying the princess of the royal family made Hitler wary. Could it be that the Tiger wants to help the German Imperial Family?!

This caused great displeasure in Hitler, and contact began with Hiroshi Oshima, the current deputy military attache of the Japanese Embassy in Germany, who had come to Germany. Because Japan's war in China was so high-profile.

Hitler, who did not know the real situation, believed that Japan should have the upper hand in this war. After all, industrial capacity, mobilization capacity and combat effectiveness are placed there.

Although the tiger is very powerful, it seems that it is not enough to have a region and a country to face off. Moreover, his army was far less than that of the Japanese army, and it was not known whether the combat effectiveness was the same.

However, it was Hitler's decision to engage with Japan. Or the battle of Songhu and Nanjing. More than 700,000 people were beaten by more than 200,000 Japanese troops and constantly retreated, which made the German top brass judge the combat effectiveness of the squadron very low.

Nanjing's retreat without a fight made the German staff officers think that the squadron did not have the determination to fight the Japanese army at all. The only troops that can fight may be the national defense forces of the three eastern provinces.

However, the Wehrmacht now reveals that the numbers are about four corps and a part of the directly subordinate group armies and directly subordinate armies. In total, there were only a little more than a million troops, and the number of planes was only about 1,500.

On the other hand, the Japanese army. The maximum mobilization capacity is at least three million people. At present, there are more than 3,000 fighter planes, with a daily output of more than 600 planes, and there are eight aviation schools that can supplement the troops with pilots.

And there is also a powerful navy with six active aircraft carriers, which the Wehrmacht simply does not have. Therefore, after discussing the matter, the German top management decided that it was appropriate to make contact with Japan.

And Hiroshi Oshima, this is no ordinary person. From an early age, he lived with a German family in Japan, where he learned to speak German fluently and knew the German habits very well.

This allowed Hiroshi Oshima, who only served as the deputy military attache of the German Embassy in 1934, to be able to maneuver with ease in the German high-level, and even had an excellent personal relationship with Ribbentrop!

It was also because of Ribbentrop that Hiroshi Oshima was able to meet Hitler. Hiroshi Oshima was so respectful to Hitler that he even used honorifics in his speech, showing strong admiration.

This made Hitler extremely happy, and one can imagine how you would choose a collaborator among a "former friend" who was unstable and even in contact with your enemies and an admirer of yours.

"Joachim, arrange a meeting between me and Oshima." Hitler pondered for a moment, then smiled: "For the sake of our interests, perhaps we should have one more choice." โ€

No one objected, the balance of power was there. Now there is not much cooperation between the three eastern provinces and Germany, and oil is engaged there a lot due to the civil war in the USSR.

The same is true of steel, because everyone from Hitler to the entire German hierarchy thinks that it is time for Germany to get justice from the damned French and the Poles!

Wuhan, China.

"Chirp...... The shelling and bombardment became more intense, and the Japanese army attacked Wuhan like crazy....... After the heavy artillery attack, the tanks covered the infantry and killed the position!

The gates and walls of the city, which were preserved as monuments, have long been in rubble. Countless soldiers of the Central Army lay on their stomachs in the rubble and fired at the Japanese troops who rushed up.

The tracks of the "Click......Click tank crushed the broken rubble, and several flaming glass bottles "bu......zzed" from behind the rubble and smashed into the tank.

With a "......boom", the Molotov cocktail smashed on the tank and exploded! Gasoline adhered to the tank and crackled and burned.

The Japanese troops behind the tank screamed and pounced on the position. In this complex terrain and patches of rubble, covering shooting is no longer useful.

All the two sides could do was to attack each other at close range, and the Japanese rushed up while the soldiers of the Central Army jumped in the rubble. Both sides were red-eyed and slaughtered!

......The heavy machine guns on the Japanese tanks roared incessantly, and the soldiers of the Central Army were constantly swept down. But more people are surging.

Someone in the crowd roared at the tank with a grenade, and blood spilled on the ground in the sound of explosions.

"Boom!!" A tank covered with gasoline was finally burned to the ammunition rack and exploded directly. The Japanese soldiers inside were blown to pieces before they did not even escape.

The explosion blasted the turret into the air, and the shattered parts and sharp pieces of iron swept across a range of nearly five meters. Whether it was the Central Army or the Japanese army, almost all of them who were affected by the explosion were lying on the ground......
