Chapter 454: German Mushrooms
Thomas Mackay is a federal Republican Congressman.
He served as Secretary of State in the new government formed after Clark's victory. Clark hopes that his Jewish identity will help the federal government get out of its current diplomatic predicament and win a new living environment.
The hegemony of the Germans in Europe did not bring enough help to the federal United States. Although the superior combat effectiveness of the German Army had been proven, the resistance movements of the occupied European countries were constantly rising, which greatly constrained the war energy of the German Reich. Coupled with the short feet of the navy, at least a few years ago, the mustache did not have the ability to directly wrestle with the Han Emperor.
Of course, more important is the economy. Before the war began, Germany's economy was on the verge of collapse. This is one of the important reasons why the mustache is eager to provoke a war. Most of the wealth looted from the victories in Europe was also translated into military spending. The "Barbarossa" plan ultimately failed to defeat the Soviet Union, forcing the Germans to spit out most of their land in the east.
Faced with the threat of organized resistance movements and grand alliances, the mustache had to maintain a large army and continue to invest heavily in the military. Undoubtedly, this is worse for the German and European economies.
Against this background, if the federal government wants to make a breakthrough in the economic and diplomatic environment and quickly shake off the shadow of defeat and division, it urgently needs to improve hostile relations with the grand coalition.
But...... The goodwill of the Federal United States was not reciprocated by the Grand Alliance, and it seemed that the Han Emperor had no intention of changing the tense situation in North America. Even when Thomas Mackay became secretary of state, there was no way to find a way to connect the two sides.
However, the democratic United States, which has a long and narrow territory, actively carried out activities after the London Conference, and applied for the initiative to join the Grand Alliance, which was appreciated by Emperor Zhongyi of the Han Dynasty.
In June 1945, at the Grand Alliance Heads of State Conference held in Zhiqiu City, the Kingdom of India and the Democratic United States, which had just been founded for less than a year, were unanimously approved by the heads of state to join the Grand Alliance, becoming the 120th and 121st member states of the Grand Alliance.
Another major item on the agenda of the current summit meeting was the deliberation of the French Liberation Plan proposed by General Charles de Gaulle. De Gaulle was given the opportunity to deliver a speech in front of one hundred and twenty-one heads of state of the Grand Alliance: "France needs justice".
Frankly speaking, Dai Gaoguang is not a qualified actor, and in his speech calling on the countries of the Grand Alliance to extend the hand of justice and help France recover, there is no emotion, not even tears, but only a list of the brutal rule of the German army in the occupation of France.
This made Zhong Yi a little disappointed, "Damn, I taught this guy for half a night last night." β
And the heads of state of the other major countries of the Grand Alliance were also a little surprised by Zhong Yi's play, "Could it be that the Han Emperor is going to attack the Germans?" β
The North American War had just ended for more than half a year, and even the withdrawal of Allied troops in the Americas had only just ended, so how could the Han Emperor choose to launch such an eager war against Europe at this time?
What has the mustache done recently to anger His Majesty?
Not surprisingly, before the Han Emperor's intentions, the heads of state were relatively indifferent to Dai Gaoguang's speech. Isn't this the time to make a statement and say that you will send troops to help the French? In case the Han Emperor didn't want to go to war with Germany, then which country would dare to go head-to-head with Germany? But if you don't help, in case the Han Emperor is really determined to restart the European war, won't it be a matter of not keeping up with the pace of the organization? The next time you have something good, do you want Emperor Han to take you to play?
Well, it's better to wait and see at this time. Even Taizu and President Jiang, the two old enemies, glanced at each other and began to bow their heads and drink tea again.
President Jiang said in his heart, "Nima's superb red robe used exclusively by Lao Tzu before, and now if you want to drink some, you have to ask your niece Song Xue." "Song Si is now the first deputy director of the Weiyang Palace's attendant room, and it is not a problem to get some tea.
And Taizu drank the best red robe, and he was also a little depressed, "All the good things have been gotten by this kid Zhong Yi, and the things produced by our family have to be exported to domestic sales before they can be drunk." β
De Gaulle's face turned a little gloomy, and the reaction of the FΓΌhrers made him feel a little cold. Could it be that the opportunity that the Han Emperor had been so desperately asked for was wasted like this? When will the road to France's restoration see the light of day?
In the round venue with huge space, there was a "broken article", and on this sensitive topic, no one was the first bird, or when Zhong Yi did not express his position, no one could have the right to decide.
In fact, Zhong Yi also felt that he had almost mastered it, "It's still not cheeky enough, and I can't cultivate at home!" Feeling that everyone's eyes were shifted to him, Zhong Yi couldn't look at anyone like those old fritters.
Coughing lightly, he pressed the microphone switch in front of him, "Ladies and gentlemen, the cause of the French people's restoration is of course just, and no country can impose its will on the people of other countries. Our Grand Alliance has also always been a strong supporter of the French people's demand for justice, as we voted on at the last plenary session. Well, this time General de Gaulle came here on behalf of the French people, and I would like to ......"
Zhong Yi's gaze suddenly swept to the door of the venue, and Mu Yu's figure appeared.
Of course, no one else is allowed to disturb the meeting of the heads of state of the highest-level member states of the Grand Alliance, and in a meeting of such a standard, in front of more than 100 heads of state, will it not become a joke for the people of the whole world?
Knowing this, Mu Yu appeared here from time to time, Zhong Yi's heart "chuckled", "There must be something big happening, and it is extremely urgent!" β
Zhong Yi paused his speech, and many heads of state who did not know the situation also took off their translation headphones in surprise and looked at Mu Yu, who had already walked into the venue.
For this imperial celebrity, many heads of state are no strangers, "If you don't know Director Mu in your life, it is in vain to become the head of state." This sentence is not too much in the circles of the major leagues.
Seeing the anxious look on Director Mu's face, and seeing that Emperor Han actually paused his speech at such a meeting, no one thought that they were rude in this way. Everyone thought the same as Zhong Yi, "Something big must have happened!" β
Mu Yu stayed in the venue for a short time, just delivered a note to His Majesty, and hurriedly retreated. This is a meeting of heads of state, and the only people who are eligible to remain in the room are, apart from the staff, the heads of state. Of course, Mu Yu, who is cautious, will not stay in the venue, which will be criticized.
There weren't many words on the slip of paper, and the handwriting was sloppy. It can be seen that Mu Yu should have written it improvised outside the venue. However, Carold Rothschild, the king of Judah, who was sitting closest to Zhong Yi, saw Zhong Yi's body and shook it obviously, and the note in his hand actually trembled slightly.
The old man stretched out his hand and lightly buckled it on the conference table with his fingers, reminding Zhong Yi that this was the venue, and there were more than 100 heads of state staring at it, so he couldn't lose his temper.
With the identity of the old man as Hennie's grandfather, Zhong Yi is still the grandson-in-law of the family, and the actions of the Red Shield King are not overstepping. Zhong Yi, who came back to his senses, nodded gratefully, but the flush on his face because of the sudden excitement did not fade much.
"I'm sorry, but our military intelligence department has just received an important piece of information, so I propose that other items on the agenda of this summit be suspended. I believe that everyone will pay close attention to the content of this note in my hand. We are allies, we are allies, we are allied countries, and of course our information will be shared with you, and I will read this information out to you: just two hours ago, Germany had successfully secretly tested an atomic bomb! β
"Ah......h
There was a burst of exclamations in the venue. All the heads of state knew what this meant, and finally understood that Mu Yu would make an exception to enter the venue, because this information could definitely change the strategic plans of most countries for the grand alliance and for the whole world.
Just like after de Gaulle's speech just now, everyone believes that the original intention of the Han Emperor must have been to send troops to Europe. Can ...... now In the face of the deterrence of nuclear weapons, no one dares to take risks.
Prior to this, the only one with a nuclear attack capability was the Han Empire. Therefore, only half a year after the end of the North American War, Zhong Yi dared to put the European question on the agenda. But when Germany also has nuclear weapons...... De Gaulle's eyes were full of despair, and the heads of state of other powers were also considering how to get the Han Emperor to loosen his grip on the nuclear program and make his own country as nuclear weapons as possible.
In these years, of course, aircraft artillery is still the key, but without nuclear weapons, it means that others can blackmail you nuclearly. With nuclear weapons, even if they are slightly behind in other aspects of the military, they can completely protect themselves.
This can be seen by looking at the face of the Han Emperor.
The Han Emperor's intention to solve the European problem has long been clear to everyone. But an atomic bomb is enough to put this issue on hold indefinitely. The mainland of the Han Empire is in the South Pacific, and even if Germany has an atomic bomb, it will be difficult to attack the mainland of the empire, but today's big alliance is also a big business, and it is a childcare affair.
Just because Germany can't attack South China doesn't mean it can't attack other big coalition countries, and if you push the mustache and the Luftwaffe drops an atomic bomb on London, Rome, or Madrid, it's a little creepy to think about.
The faces of the heads of state of several countries around the Mediterranean Sea are also quite ugly. George VI's mouth opened several times, but he didn't make any sound, not knowing whether it was because he was stammering or because he thought of something else.
There will be no way to go on, because the news came suddenly, there was no communication between the major powers of the alliance, and everyone's brains were a little messy, including Zhong Yi!
The previously planned idea of solving the problems of France and other countries on a small scale was meaningless because of the successful test explosion of the German atomic bomb. A madman like Mustache, after possessing such a big killing weapon, Zhong Yi did not think that he would use the atomic bomb as carefully as himself.
