Chapter 1180: Terrible News
"If this does not go unnoticed, we will repeat the mistakes of Nagata Tetsuyama......" Shizuichi Tanaka said in a deep voice to his lieutenant after the radicals left.
"We must warn Prime Minister Suzuki that the empire can no longer afford any harm. The slightest move at any point is likely to result in even more casualties......"
With that, Shizuichi Tanaka asked his lieutenant to inform Kantaro Suzuki. At this time, a negotiation between Xiyuan Temple and Yang Yuting and others also came to an end.
Neither side has gained anything, or the only thing that is certain for both sides now is that the coalition government has no intention of letting the Japanese imperial family go. The bottom line of Saionji Temple is that it is necessary to maintain the status of the imperial family in Japan.
At the very least, the royal family will not be pursued and expelled in its entirety. But the Wehrmacht did not agree with this. Fortunately, this is the first time that the two sides have negotiated, and there is no overly radical language.
Therefore, after the temporary pause, the two sides will continue negotiations the next day.
"Hahaha...... Mr. Kalinin, welcome to China! We hope you have a great time in China! Prime Minister Yan Zhengqing personally arrived at the airport and greeted Kalinin, who had come from afar.
"Thank you for coming to greet me personally, and for remembering the warmth of your country, Kalinin." Kalinin smiled and hugged Yan Zhengqing, and then said loudly.
Everyone in the airport greeted each other for a while, and only then did Kalinin board the car and leave the airport at the invitation of Yan Zhengqing and others.
In the meeting room of the coalition government of the imperial capital, Lin Sen was already waiting for Kalinin's arrival. On the first day of arrival, it was naturally impossible for the two sides to talk about anything.
It's nothing more than a polite remark. Say hello. The next thing is a banquet, and after Kalinin has rested, he will visit the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, etc., and the meeting of the allies will not be held until the arrival of US Secretary of State Hull and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
"Know. What do you mean by Meng Ben must ask de Gaulle to come over?! Lin Sen asked Yan Zhengqing with some incomprehension: "France has become a German colony, what is there to talk about in the future of the defeated army?!" ”
Yan Zhengqing smiled and said: "This de Gaulle is also a very person, the French president and prime minister decided to surrender. Even the veterans of the First World War decided to surrender. It's just that he didn't want to, and he found an opportunity to run on the plane and rush out. ”
"The war will undoubtedly end soon, although the distribution of benefits after the war will certainly not be shared by the French. But if we want to develop. But it is still inseparable from the European ......"
After a pause, Yan Zhengqing said: "This de Gaulle was still insisting on resisting when France fell. This doomed him to become a hero of France after the war. It is also likely to become the president of France. ”
"And we need to develop after the war, and if we need help, France is a partner we can work with......"
Lin Sen nodded, and he understood what Tu Menghu and Yan Zhengqing meant. Now is the time for post-war layout, for the coalition government. The post-war world is best left in chaos.
This is in your best interest. There is only chaos. Those European and American countries and the Soviet Union will not have the energy to fight the idea of a coalition government. Especially in Southeast Asia.
Those whites, who are idle, will definitely hit the idea of these places. Even if they can't get it, they will try to create obstacles to the coalition government's rule.
Therefore, they Jedi cannot be idle. They must be kept busy, and they must also be supported by their allies who are in favor of the coalition government.
De Gaulle, who was now ignored by the British Empire and the United States, became the object of Tu Mengben's invitation. Even though he didn't have any say, the Tiger invited him to China to join the allies in the negotiations.
"Hull, how long will it take for them to arrive?!" Lin Sen paused. Keep asking. Yan Zhengqing said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, after all, Churchill needs to hug the thigh of the United States now." So Hull will certainly be after he has consulted with Churchill. will embark on the journey to China. ”
Churchill was indeed in talks with Hull, whose plane arrived in Vancouver first. He and Churchill then met, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, they began to spy on them.
"To be honest, I don't understand why the Tiger had appointed de Gaulle for this summit of allies. It seems to me that France has long since declined, and the best thing for Gallic chickens to do now is to seduce women with their perfumes and not waste time on the battlefield. ”
Hull was very disdainful of France, a country that once had Napoleon, and now it is no longer as bloody as it once was. In Hull's opinion, it would be difficult to find even a few males.
The Maginot Line, which looked like a turtle's shell, was built, but millions of troops were torn apart by the Nazis. In the end, the heroes of the First World War surrendered with their country, what kind of rag country is this?!
"Who knows?! This tiger will always like people we don't like, but he doesn't like us at all. Churchill shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, we don't like him either." I would rather the Far East be occupied by the Japanese than become the territory of this tiger. ”
"At least, the Japanese aren't as aggressive as he is. It is also eating away at us step by step. ”
Hull shrugged his shoulders and declined to comment. Slaughtering the Tiger to weaken Britain, isn't this in the interests of the United States?! But Hull wouldn't say it.
The relationship between the United States and the Tiger is very complicated, with competition in the Pacific Ocean and mutual plots by the Soviet Union and other places. There are also common interests, and various intricate relationships are mixed together.
Even Hull couldn't tell what he wanted the coalition government to become. Perhaps, now is the best. Don't change anything.
"Mr. Hull, this trip to China, I hope that you will support our proposal on behalf of the United States for the coalition government to send troops to India." Churchill did not dwell on the subject any longer, but said with great annoyance.
"Those damned Indians, they betrayed us at the most critical moment! These damn fools deserve to pay for their actions! ”
Churchill paused and said, "But the Wehrmacht promised us to send troops to India, and we did not act until the first time. I hope Mr. Hull will join us in urging them. It would be good for us to settle India as soon as possible. ”
Hull smiled and nodded, "On this point, President Roosevelt also expressed his support. India is a country that should pay for its actions, and if it weren't for their betrayal, our troops in Moscow at that time would not have faced the threat of the Japanese......"
As he spoke, Hull said sarcastically, "I don't understand what those idiots are thinking, declaring neutrality after the Japanese leave." These idiots don't know that they have used the power of the Japanese to attack the army of the British Empire, and it is actually a betrayal?! ”
Churchill's face was very ugly, and to be honest, he would never have imagined that India would become an accomplice of Japan before the Indians made peace with the Japanese.
But it turns out that the Indians did just that. And it's done rightly.
"They'll know, I swear! They will repent in hell! Churchill gritted his teeth and said that in fact he knew that it only took tens of thousands of British troops to completely destroy those Indian troops.
But unfortunately, it is impossible for Britain to send troops all the way to India to fight. So he could only hope that the Wehrmacht would take action and clean up those damned traitors.
"In fact, the most important task of my trip to China this time was to urge China to end its campaign against Japan as soon as possible. And then throw forces into the USSR, where our losses were already too great. It's time for this war to end! ”
Hull said solemnly to Churchill: "We have received news that the Germans are developing a terrible weapon in order to win the war. We sacrificed a lot of intelligence officers, and we didn't get to the bottom of this weapon......"
Hull said, his face turning extremely ugly. Because Enrico, the head of the Manhattan Project. Dr. Fermi's estimate is that the Germans are likely to be carrying out a nuclear fission program similar to the Manhattan Project.
The United States has made some progress in the Manhattan Project, but the research still requires a lot of time and money.
If Germany had preemptively advanced on nuclear weapons, no one could have known what the course of the war would have been in the end. This is what worries the United States the most.
The German aircraft carriers can completely get close to the east coast of the United States through the Atlantic, and once the Germans have nuclear weapons, then the entire east coast and even Washington will be seriously threatened!
"Is the situation serious?! To what extent?! Churchill was most nervous about this, and if the war was lost, the British Empire would cease to exist forever.
Even, most likely, Canada will not be able to settle down.
"It's serious, the last message from our intelligence officers came back with the words 'Plan U'. But the exact content is unknown...... "After a moment's hesitation, Hull decided to tell Churchill the truth.
"Enrico. Dr. Fermi estimated that the Germans were likely engaged in a nuclear weapons development program similar to the Manhattan Project......"
Churchill's face changed suddenly, and no one knew better than him what it meant! Britain also started its own nuclear weapons research program very early, but due to the lack of funds, manpower and material resources, it did not make as much progress as the United States.
Although the two sides had previously discussed a collaboration, the cooperation was aborted due to the arrogant request of the British Academy, which was in charge of the matter, to take control of all research and development projects.
"Can you be sure of this?!" Churchill paused for a moment before he asked, trembling...... (To be continued......)
