Chapter 815: Tornadoes on both sides of the Atlantic
"Oh~ Of course we want to have friends! But this friend must be peaceful and just. The United States of America was founded by God's will, and we want to make friends who are just and just, but you and your empire don't seem to be doing that. ”
Cordel. Hull shrugged his shoulders in an American manner, and said to Matsuoka: "The Congress has already made a decision, and we must withdraw from China before we can make a deal." We don't want to do business with aggressors. ”
You are the biggest aggressors! The souls of the Indians who have been scalped off and wail at night bear witness! The looted artifacts that lay out in the museum bear witness! Matsuoka scolded angrily in his heart.
What kind of archway to erect?! You white people are the worst and most disgusting aggressors on this planet, what face do you have to accuse the Empire?! Is the so-called "United States of America" where you are now your land?!
Where is this inch of land here not stained with the blood of the Indians?! Matsuoka Yoyo said viciously in his heart, what he said is sanctimonious, but in fact, what kind of good things are you?!
"Your Excellency Cordell, isn't there room for manoeuvre in this matter?!" Matsuoka took a deep breath to avoid his anger and scolding. As much as he could, he said, "We can make informal, non-public deals, and still maintain our friendship." and without damaging the reputation of the United States......"
"Nope! Mr. Matsuoka, I said that the United States of America is a just nation. We will definitely not sell anything to the aggressor! "Cordell. Hull stood up and said firmly, "I said it unless you leave China. Otherwise, don't you want to buy anything from America! ”
After that, Cordell. Hull stood up and said in a deep voice to Matsuoka, "Then that's it, I'll wait for your reply." I have other things to attend to today, and I'm out of company! ”
Talking, Cordell. Hull bowed to Matsuoka and left the conference room with his entourage. Hiroshi Matsuoka, whose face was left sè iron blue and his lips trembled.
The United States is not in a hurry, they have the confidence to negotiate conditions. But if you are in a hurry, and if you can't get any more resources, then the fate of the nearly 800,000 rì army in China can be imagined!
Historically, Rìben occupied the three eastern provinces and obtained most of the resources other than oil, so as to be able to support an army of up to millions. But the current situation is that rìben did not occupy the three eastern provinces.
Although some resources were obtained from Fujian, they were exhausted after only a few high-intensity battles. The U.S. lockdown has made the situation even worse.
And now the army that is all outside is only a little more than a million. Compared to the past, their troops are much smaller. But due to the emergence of the Wehrmacht, their consumption did not decrease.
As a result, resources are now close to scarcity. Once those reserves of oil run out, what awaits them is what a fool can imagine.
Thinking of this, Matsuoka Yoyo couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Standing up, he staggered out of the reception room with his subordinates. He has done his best, and the only way to go in the future is to see Prime Minister Konoe and the prince of Kanin Palace.
At this time in Berlin, Germany, the situation with the mustache was not optimistic. In order to prevent Germany from getting any more resources, Britain and France blocked the sea area and forbade anyone to supply oil to Germany.
Of course, the situation in Germany is much better than rì. At least Austria still has a small amount of oil, which can now reach an annual production of about 1.6 million tons after full development.
And as early as the division of the Soviet Union, the mustache continued to dig oil from the Soviet Union. During that period, Germany's oil imports from the Soviet Union were entirely plundered and exploited.
Trotsky's occupation zone produced about 10 million tons of oil a year, and what he could consume to provide Germany with about 5 million tons.
In the early days, the three eastern provinces also exported oil products, including refined oil and crude oil, to Germany, and most of these also entered Germany's defense reserves.
In the past few years, Germany's own oil reserves have reached more than 20 million tons, excluding private oil consumption! This is ten times the amount of oil reserves in Germany before the war.
Historically, when Germany launched the war in September 1939, it had only 2.4 million tons of refined oil and a small amount of oil in reserve. Now, Germany has more than 20 million tons of crude oil reserves alone.
Although the refined oil products are relatively small, they are also as high as more than 8 million tons.
"I have to say that we need to be grateful to the tiger in China. If it weren't for the ideas he gave us, maybe we wouldn't have been able to store so much oil・・・・・・," Mustache sighed as he pinched the report on his desk.
On the side, the Minister of Economy, Walter. Funk smiled and nodded, "Yes!" We have benefited greatly from the plans of my Führer, the Soviet Union. In addition to this oil, we have obtained large quantities of iron ore, copper ore and many rare metal ores. It has to be said that this civil war in the USSR has provided us with a lot of resources...... It's a pity that they don't fight now. ”
"Humph! Those damn Gallic chickens, do they think this will make us give up on rising?! And those stupid John Bulls! These reptiles in the sewers! They will only use this sinister and despicable way to contain us! ”
Hitler became agitated as usual, and began his speech in front of the audience.
And everyone present was accustomed to the excitement of their Führer from time to time, watching the Führer's performance jumping up and down.
"It's good that we've cleaned up those damn Jewish thieves, otherwise the Empire would have suffered even more losses! It's too cost-effective to exchange these useless, shameful Jews for oil and minerals! ”
As everyone knows, Hitler was referring to the German secret and the deals made by the three eastern provinces. Hitler and the Nazi party members had long had the idea of purging the Jews.
This idea was directly implemented in the three eastern provinces when they proposed the need for human resources to develop the mines, they arrested all the Jews in Germany, and then confiscated their property and "sold" them to the three eastern provinces.
In exchange for various supplies given to them by the three eastern provinces, these include soybeans, oil, iron ore...... and so on.
In the eyes of Hitler and the Nazis, this was both economical and cost-effective.
But what they don't know is that the three eastern provinces are not paying for it. In fact, it was Zion's supporters, including the Rockefellers, who paid for the matter.
And at the same time, these Jews did not waste it. They are screened, and if they have skills, they are placed in factories to get a job. Some conduct agricultural research, while others are sent to the Academy of Sciences to participate in research.
Those who have financial literacy become tutors and teach students financial knowledge at the newly established finance and economics colleges in the three eastern provinces. Although this is not needed in the three eastern provinces now, it will definitely be needed in the future.
If they don't have any craft, they won't be idle. They would be sent to Mongolia for grazing or to work in the fields of the three eastern provinces.
It can be said that Hitler's deportation of the Jews to the three eastern provinces was not a burden, but further improved the capacity of the three eastern provinces in all aspects. At the same time, in view of the friendly attitude towards Jews in the three eastern provinces, Zion called on Jewish consortia that he could influence to make comprehensive investments and loans in the three eastern provinces.
It can be said that the three eastern provinces did not have any losses, but because of this, they gained the favor of Germany, earned a lot of money, and had a large number of talents.
As for the Jewish influence on the three eastern provinces, this is almost empty. The largest enterprises in the three eastern provinces are all self-run enterprises in the three eastern provinces, including Jiuda Group, the three eastern provinces heavy industry joint stock company (Manye), the three eastern provinces electric and telegraph (telephone and telegraph) companies, and the three eastern provinces machinery manufacturing companies...... and dozens of other large enterprises.
And in the entire three eastern provinces, the Jews had no way to infiltrate, let alone influence. The Wehrmacht Jews, on the other hand, had no influence on the Jews, so the situation of the Jews in the three eastern provinces could only be the mood of looking at the three eastern provinces, or the mood of the current joint zhèngfǔ.
However, in order to avoid trouble, these Jews are now all called "Soviet Jews". In an all-Chinese environment, no one doubts their identity.
In any case, the three eastern provinces also received many Jews who had been exiled due to the Soviet civil war, and no one else could blame anything for this.
"I think it's time to get the money back from those bastards!" After his speech, Hitler finally returned to the main topic of the conference.
"My comrades, the first goal I have set after studying is here: Poland!" Hitler's adjutant hurriedly pulled the map away as he got back to business.
But I saw Hitler jump up and poke the location of Poland on the map with a baton!
As soon as Hitler's words came out, the eyes of all the generals present lit up! That light, the light of hatred! I can't wait to peel the skin and bones of Poland on the map!
Germany's hatred of Poland was to the core. On January 29, 1919, Polish delegates to the Paris Peace Conference demanded the unconditional return of Poznan, Upper Silesia, West Prussia, Warmia, Malzoo, Cheshin Silesia, and other places to Poland.
How could such a demarcation of a border satisfy the Germans ?! You must know that Germany has many high-ranking officers born in Poznan, and even Poznania once had the title of "Prussian Officers' Training Institute".
Hindenburg and Ludendorff were both born in Poznan, and the German High Command even considered abolishing the armistice and restarting the war in the East. Of course, this idea was tantamount to suicide in the end.
In Silesia, the Germans were indignant at the League's repeated accommodations and injustices in the division of Poland. In October 1921, the League of Nations made a final decision to give 30% of the territory and 46% of the population of Upper Silesia to Poland and the rest to Germany.
On the face of it, although Germany lost a lot of land due to national self-determination due to the three Polish uprisings, it still occupied most of the population and land in Silesia, but the Germans did not get much of the most valuable resource in Silesia, "coal mines".
Only 11 of the region's 61 coal mines are owned by Germany, and one is shared by both countries.
And the most outrageous is the "Polish corridor". Germany was divided into two parts thanks to the so-called "Polish Corridor", and there could not have been a more outlandish method of demarcating borders.
East Prussia was connected to the mainland only through the Polish Corridor. And according to the principle of national self-determination, the Polish corridor is indeed a majority of Poles.
But the Polish corridor that lay there was undoubtedly an irreconcilable contradiction between Germany and Poland, and either side could find a self-justifying justification for their own justification.
The Germans believed that they were poorly dressed, underfed, and unemployed because Danzig was a city of zìyóu, because the Polish corridor separated East Prussia from the Empire, or because Germany had no colonies.
In 1919, the Frankfurter Zeitung reported that officials (almost 1 high-ranking officials) in the eastern border areas of the German Empire and East Prussia, when asked whether they would like to leave the regions ceded to Poland or the Polish administration, refused to enter the Polish administration and requested to be transferred to other Prussian regions.
It is no wonder that Germany hated Poland more than France after World War I, and was the first to pack up after it was fully equipped. It was Poland that the whole of Germany hated to the bone.
"Yes! My Führer! We've got to get rid of those damned Poles and take back our German lands! "The head of the Wehrmacht High Command, Wilhelm Brown. Keitel excitedly stood up and said loudly.
"These damned Polish thieves! They took advantage of our danger to take the land that belonged to us, and now it's time for them to pay! We should let them know that these damn bastards will pay for their actions! ”
Hitler was satisfied with the answer of the Supreme High Command, and he stood up and shouted: "Yes! My friends! Those damned Polish thieves, rats in the sewers! Now, it's time for them to pay for their actions! ”
As he spoke, Hitler turned to Foreign Minister Achim beside him. Feng. Ribbentrop said with satisfaction: "Achim! You are worthy of my most relied on comrade, and your efforts have severely thwarted the conspiracy of those Gallic chickens! Germany will not forget you! ”
"This is my duty, honorable Führer!" Ribbentrop stood up excitedly, saluted directly at Hitler, and shouted, "Hi! Hitler! ”
"Hahaha・・・・・・ everyone! You don't know yet, do you?! Our foreign minister secretly went to the USSR some time ago, and he has already signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" with the USSR! Those arrogant French must not know that the USSR has promised to send troops with us for the territory of Poland! ”
Everyone present couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the news! But then I felt a deep admiration for Ribbentrop's ability to work! You know, Germany took advantage of the Soviet Union. And in order to contain Germany, Britain and France even did not hesitate to put aside ideological problems to bridge the relationship between the two sides of the Soviet Civil War.
But no one could have imagined that under such conditions, Ribbentrop would be able to come into contact with the Soviet Union and sign such an important treaty with the Soviet Union!
"My achievements are entirely under the leadership of the Führer. Without the support of the Führer and without the strong Germany behind me, I could not have accomplished these tasks. Ribbentrop was not a fool either, and said modestly.
The credit is already their own, and the rest is carried by everyone in a sedan chair. If you have made a contribution, you must know how to converge. Otherwise, you will be stifled.
"Hahaha・・・・・・ come on, come on! My Foreign Minister, tell us about the content of our agreement! Hitler laughed in satisfaction and asked Ribbentrop to tell everyone about his achievements.
"Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen! Let me tell you about the agreement we have reached・・・・・・" Ribbentrop nodded gratefully to Hitler and addressed the crowd.
As he spoke, he asked his secretary to show the public a photocopy of the agreement he had signed with the current Soviet Defense Minister Molotov.
The treaty is broadly divided into two parts. The first part is superficial and is more or less an undertaking by the contracting parties not to use force, aggression or aggression against each other, either alone or in association with other States.
At the same time, if one side is at war with a third State, the other State Party may not give any support to the third State. The Parties shall in no way participate in any group of States which, directly or indirectly, oppose another State Party.
Whereas, the treaty is valid for no years. But privately, the two sides have another secret treaty. This is Ribbentrop's most important achievement!
The secret treaty stipulates that, firstly, in the event of territorial or political changes in the Baltic region, Lithuania's northern borders will become the limits of Soviet-German power, and in this regard, the two sides will recognize Lithuanian interests in the Vilno region.
Second, in the event of territorial and political changes in Poland, the Soviets and Germany would be roughly divided by the Narev, Wisladu, and San rivers. Whether it is in the interests of both sides to maintain the Polish dúlì, and how to demarcate the border, can only be determined in the course of further political developments.
On the part of South-Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union was concerned about her interests in Bessarabia, and Germany declared that she had no political stake in the region at all.
Then, here's the point! The Soviets promised that if Germany went to war against Poland, they would send troops to fight in the war within three weeks. Together, the two sides will "crush" Poland.
Last but not least, both parties will treat this Agreement as a top secret document.
"Mr. Ribbentrop, according to this treaty, that is, once we use troops against Poland, then within three weeks the Soviet Union will also attack, right?!" Minister of the Supreme Command, William. That's what Keitel cares about the most.
"Yes! Mr. Wilhelm, this is a point that I have repeatedly confirmed with the Soviet side. Ribbentrop nodded fiercely and said, "The Soviet side now also needs Polish land and reserves...... "To be continued." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (iancwm) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. ps: Tomorrow morning, I will accompany my wife for a prenatal checkup, and I have to get the birth certificate ・・・・・・ a bunch of things...... It's called a pit daddy......
