Chapter 456: Enemies, Friends, and Jumping Gods

The outside world does not know what Britain and Germany talked about in the Amsterdam talks, but afterwards the two sides made public a naval agreement, and the German side took the initiative to reduce its own naval tonnage share in order to avoid unnecessary military competition and military confrontation between the two sides.

In return, Britain and Germany signed the Anglo-German Non-Aggression Pact, which was valid for ten years.

Because of this decision, Hitler and Attlee shared the Nobel Peace Prize that year. But behind the scenes, Germany and Britain finally reached a preliminary intention to form an alliance.

Specific negotiations are still ongoing, but the "friendship" of Britain and Germany has become an irreversible trend.

But in fact, Britain and Germany go further than the outside world knows.

The Amsterdam negotiations, the Anglo-German negotiations on the naval issue, lasted only three days, and in the remaining four days, the most talked about topic between the two countries was the United States, that is, the war that was taking place in the Pacific.

In 1943, the Japanese side handed over Palawan Island in the Philippines to Germany in the form of "repaying debts", thus giving Germany a fulcrum into the Pacific Ocean, and then Germany sent a small fleet to the island. By 1944, the Germans had 4,000 personnel in Palawan.

For the British, the problems of Southeast Asia were further complicated by German intervention.

Before the Germans occupied the island, the Japanese captured indigenous laborers here and used them for mine labor in the Philippines, resulting in a smaller indigenous population. Due to their remoteness from the mainland, the Germans were unlikely to send people from the mainland to develop the land, and could only cooperate with the Republic of Lanfang, with which Germany was "one family". After the German troops were stationed, with the acquiescence of the German side, a large number of Chinese immigrants from Lanfang and Southeast Asia were discussed in the name of "labor". By 1944, the Chinese population had increased to 30,000.

The main work of these immigrants was to mine the local mercury, silica and chromite mines, in addition to taking advantage of the local tropical environment and planting rubber trees.

Since Lin Han is "Führer Hitler's father", according to the assumption of Lin Han's family. In due course, the Germans would transfer this place to the Republic of Lanfang.

Germany is so generous, and it is not just because "Lin Han is the Führer's father". What's more, Hannah also realizes that the traditional colonial era is passing. Germany's forcible colonization of this small island halfway around the world is costly and politically burdensome, and Palawan is of great significance to China. For Germany, there is not much oil and water. And the cost of maintaining a garrison here is too high to be worth it. It would be better to use this as a bargaining chip in a political bargain with China in exchange for something more beneficial.

However, Germany's entry into Southeast Asia during this period further complicated the problem. When Britain and Germany negotiated in Amsterdam, the main discussion between the two sides was the question of the redivision of power. The crux of the matter lies in the distribution of the cake of interests after the end of the Great Flat Ocean War a few years later.

And before discussing this issue. The first thing to be solved is the problem of another American comeback in the Pacific.

Now the United States. The frenzied amass of the fleet was being built with the tactics of the turtle stream, and its rapidly growing navy made both Britain and Germany feel an icy chill across the Atlantic.

Both Britain and Germany believed that if the two countries did not intervene in the war, Japan's defeat would be inevitable, even with the help of the gods.

Once the United States defeated Japan, its huge Pacific Fleet returned to Southeast Asia. The British Navy simply did not have the confidence to be able to withstand the Pacific Fleet, which had grown up and matured in the war.

Britain needed a strong ally to stay warm with them here, so the British government chose Germany, and the German side also had the intention of taking the initiative to get closer, and the two sides reached agreements on many issues.

Whether it's Hannah or Artoria. The two planned all this, Britain and Germany in Amsterdam eyebrows for a long time, the final purpose is only one: the British and German navies joined forces, and at the last critical moment of the Pacific War, they intervened sideways, stabbed the US Navy in the back, and annihilated the Pacific Fleet again.

The reason why Britain has such a crazy idea is that in the past two years, the United States has bombed the sea of warships, which has really forced the dignified empire on which the sun never sets to a dead end. The British did not believe at all, and after the war, they tasted the taste of "slaughtering the gods", and their confidence after the war was greatly increased, and the Americans, who found themselves "very strong", would only "regain lost territory" and would not extend their hands further to the British colonies.

The "ultimate idea" that Artoria proposed to the British top brass was that the British and German navies would join forces and start a war against the United States at the right time, which was what Hannah wanted.

A strong America is not in the interests of Germany, or even of all the countries of the Old Continent - because the industrial products produced by American factories are natural competitors of old Europe. Defeating the United States will only do Germany good, not harm.

As for the UK? To paraphrase Lin Han's words, what is there to be afraid of in a country with a main population of less than 50 million? Even if Germany does not take action, sooner or later, China and the Soviet Union will export revolution and stir up trouble in Britain's global colonies under the banner of "opposing colonialism".

Although Hannah also agreed with the British and German joint attacks on the US Navy, the problem was mainly with Britain itself. Now that the sun never sets, the empire has not only lost the arrogance of the Copenhagen operation of "talking about it after doing it", but also lost the domineering spirit of playing the standard of the two great powers before World War I. At the time of the negotiations in Amsterdam, the British side was at both ends of the ladder and the mouse, and there were great internal disputes, and they never had the courage to make this proposal to Germany.

However, this can't all be blamed on them, the current Royal Navy is no longer the invincible navy that Lao Tzu had the best in the world in the past, and after the European continent turned red, Britain's strategic environment was also very bad. They are guarding against the United States, and they are also guarding against Europe in reddening.

In the eyes of the British, the United States wants to eat the meat of the empire on which the sun never sets, led by Germany, and Europe in the red does not want the life of Britain, and both are equally hateful.

The Amsterdam negotiations are just the beginning. Negotiations like this will continue in the days to come.

Who is our primary enemy, and who is our secondary enemy, is the first question to be confirmed by the British Empire today. He determined the future strategic direction of Britain.

So far, the British have been unable to distinguish between the United States and Germany.

Hannah understood the British mentality, so she took the initiative to lower the quota standard of the German Navy, making the American problem more prominent.

When it came to the joint attack of Britain and Germany on the US Pacific Fleet, Hannah was not in a hurry. She believes that as the US aircraft carriers are launched like dumplings, they are launching at a rate of one ship a month. At most, until the second half of 1945, the British will be in a hurry.

So in this matter, she can still wait slowly.

When Britain and Germany were drawing closer to each other, the United States was not ignorant and did nothing.

At the beginning of June 1943, President John Dewey sent a special envoy to Britain in order to "reassure" the British in order to calm the potential contradictions between Britain and the United States and avoid the worst-case scenario.

To curry favor with the British. The U.S. government made large military orders to Britain - mainly for high-quality pots and steam turbines. Now that the United States is frantically exploding warships, the domestic power system production capacity is also somewhat unable to keep up, and more importantly, the US government wants to use this to show goodwill to the United Kingdom.

Not only that, but the US Government also "took the initiative" to accept the "Anglo-American Washington Agreement," which had long been unilaterally abrogated by Britain, promising that the United States would not further expand westward after defeating Japan.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War. One of the reasons for the improvement in the UK's domestic economic situation is partly due. It is thanks to a large number of orders from the United States.

The so-called 30 years in the east of the river, 30 years in the west of the river. Compare the robbery of Britain by the United States during the European war three years ago, and only three years later, the relationship between Britain and the United States has turned around.

Now in Britain, it is not without a group of people who have taken the benefits of the United States to say good things about the Anglo-American alliance. Against the Anglo-German approach. But in this process, Artoria's opinion played a huge role.

At that time, she was "dancing the big god" in India, and asked the prime minister two questions through telegram:

"As it stands, the strength of the U.S. Navy after 1946. How many times will it be in our country? ”

"The British Empire, willing to believe that the naval strength of the United States Navy, which is several times that of our country, will honestly not dismember the colonies of the British Empire after the war?"

These two real questions dispelled all the illusions of the British upper class. However, Britain and Germany will finally come together to plot against the United States, and it will take some time for them to collude for the time being.

Artoria has returned to the UK in the past few months, mainly for her new body, designing the keel integration of the 63,000-ton super-battleship Brittanya.

In order to help Artoria better complete the keel integration work, Lin Han specially infiltrated the United Kingdom and merged with Artoria, and Jiling was on the Brittania under construction, and it took two months to complete the keel integration project of this giant ship.

Today, Artoria has received a bonus from the power of faith throughout Britain and many Protestants, and her ability has also improved to a certain extent, but the increase is not as large as expected.

Over the years, Lin Han found in "practice" that among the three daughters he gave birth to, the person closest to him in ability was Li Huamei, and after the impact of God, he now has nearly seventy percent of his strength, followed by Katyusha, about sixty percent of him, and Artoria reached half of him.

It's not just the three of them, after Lin Han got the bonus of the willpower of the entire Chinese circle and "qualitatively changed", his ability has surpassed Hannah's - the latter is about eighty percent of his skills.

Through personal "practice", Lin Han found that Germany, China, the Soviet Union, and the British, the upper limit of their abilities, are related to the chronological order of their "contact".

Hannah was the first ship spirit to come into contact with Lin Han, so she had the strongest ability. At the beginning, she was far better than Lin Han, because at that time she got the bonus of the will of the whole Germany, and after Lin Han later got the bonus of the will of all the Chinese, she gradually caught up and surpassed her.

Although Katyusha was the first daughter "born" by Lin Han, she was not the first to come into contact with Lin Han, before her, Li Huamei's Beiyang Ship Soul had contact with Lin Han a few months earlier than her. It's just that the Beiyang ship soul was too weak at that time, so Katyusha, the Russian ship soul, was "Mr. Houyuer".

And the third daughter, Artoria, is only about half as much as him. As for Adolf, who was born from the combination of Hannah and Lin Han, he is almost a "mortal" and has no superpowers at all.

Faced with his daughters, "the later the birth, the worse the quality", Lin Han was also speechless.

However, with this discovery, Lin Han also thought of a bad idea: if he still wants to add a new ship spirit, such as the ship spirit ship mother of the seven powerful countries or something, his fourth and fifth daughters, he can consider making ideas from the "weak countries" France, Italy and even Spain.

As for the American ship spirit that has now taken shape, she must be made the "seventh", and the Japanese ship spirit that may appear in the future will make her the sixth.

Thinking of the scene where the United States is obviously the world's number one naval power, but the ship spirit they gave birth to is the weakest, and finally being bullied by "sisters" such as the Japanese ship spirit, the Spanish ship spirit, and the French ship spirit, Lin Han suddenly felt that this scene must be very beautiful and interesting at that time.

After completing the keel construction of the battleship "Brittana", Artoria and Linhan separated. Artoria returned to India and continued her "missionary dance" activities.

The British, through Artoria's dance of the gods in Egypt, took the opportunity to carry out a religious invasion, which achieved the desired effect. In 70 days of missionary activity, the Anglican Church increased the number of believers in this Arab land by 150,000. The seventy days of the mission had such an effect that the Anglican Archpope was greatly satisfied, and the British government was even more pleased.

With the help of religion, the British succeeded in "dividing" the Egyptian world, where they succeeded in cultivating a group inclined to the British Empire, which would be of great benefit to the maintenance of their colonial rule here in the future. As for the resulting bloody religious conflict on the ground, the British government does not care at all. The Lee Enfield rifle in the hands of the army will naturally teach those people how to behave.

After the keel integration of the "Brittana" was completed, the British excitedly reassigned Artoria to India, preparing to continue to strengthen British rule here by means of religious means.

At this time, under Hannah's arrangement, Lin Han quietly infiltrated Rome, Italy, and implemented Hannah's long-planned "Roman holiday" plan, preparing to give the Vatican the last blow and completely make Catholicism history in Europe. (To be continued......)
