Everyone had a good time at the reception, and occasionally Gerhardt and Churchill and others met their eyes, but they quickly fell out of each other's sight.

What the two sides are doing together is trying to reach out to other officials in the coalition government. Trying to get from them the attitude of the Allies and the Axis within the coalition government.

But it's a pity that the people who were able to come to the reception were extremely sleek. Where can you be caught in three or two sentences?! A bunch of lies, empty words, clichés, and official words, the people who say them are confused in the clouds.

But it felt as if they had really said something. Gerhardt and the others were fooled by the clouds, and when they returned to the hotel, they were surprised that they didn't say anything! Those words can be found in any diplomatic rhetoric of the coalition government......

Stalin, on the other hand, had long known the temperament of the officials of the coalition government, and it was not much easier to get a word from them than to fight the Wehrmacht.

So he simply did not do it, but enjoyed the food provided by the coalition government at the banquet with peace of mind. The situation in the Soviets was not good now, and even as a member of the Supreme Council of the Soviets, he could not eat anything good.

And this time the coalition government even offered caviar made of salmon roe from the northeast, which made Stalin very happy. It's been a long time since he's eaten such good caviar.

Churchill walked around with great interest, and everyone seemed to know that he was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. are polite and politely said "long admiration". But after this long-term admiration, it is not known whether it is a long-term admiration for his Churchill exploits or a long-term admiration for him to lose his capital.

Of course, Churchill also found that the officials of these coalition governments were not willing to talk about negotiations, and Kee was all talking about negotiations.

So Churchill wisely turned the conversation to business, and Canada still had something to export. The vast territory gave Canada countless resources, and even if they sold them, they would be able to support the consumption of the defeated British Empire.

Canada is rich in mineral resources such as coal, iron, and non-ferrous metals. There are 85 billion tonnes of coal reserves, mainly in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Iron ore reserves are a staggering 33.6 billion tonnes. It is mainly found in the Labrador Plateau, Quebec, Newfoundland, Vancouver Island and Baffin Island in the north.

At the same time, Canada's nickel ore reserves are about 9 million tons, mainly distributed in Sudbury, the middle reaches of the Nelson River and Linlek, and the reserves are second only to Cuba and the French island of New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean, ranking third in the world.

In addition to these, copper, zinc, titanium, cobalt, platinum, lead, silver, asbestos, potash and other mineral deposits are among the top in the world. Most of these deposits are located in Ontario and British Columbia.

But there is a most serious problem: now that Britain is fleeing England, there is no capital or machinery to develop these minerals.

But Churchill didn't want the Americans to develop it, and if these people did, they probably wouldn't leave. It is even likely that Canada will end up being part of the United States.

On the other hand, a coalition government on the far side of the Pacific is a partner to work with. Their soil is far from Canada. And the United States will not watch its neighbor become a colony of another Asian country.

As a result, Churchill is now seeking cooperation with China. The Coalition Government ordered machinery and smelting equipment from the United States, and then the British and Coalition governments jointly developed Canadian minerals to support the British Empire's continued participation in the war.

Officials of the Department of Commerce of the coalition government were very interested in Churchill's proposal. They took out their pens and notes. The proposal that Churchill said was recorded.

At the same time, some issues were raised, such as the sharing method between the two parties, the proportion of investment and the mode of transportation.

"Prime Minister Churchill, we feel your sincerity. We will report these views to the Supreme Council and explain them. I thought that the official of the Ministry of Commerce said to Churchill sincerely: "As an individual, I will do my best to promote our cooperation ......"

With that, he and Churchill exchanged a few words and hurried away.

"Churchill, you're really good at business! I just arrived in China. You've already had the Commerce Department officials of the coalition government revolving around you! Hahaha......"

Stalin listened for a while, and after the Coalition Government Commercial Department official left, he laughed and said: "We in the Soviet Union also have a lot of resources waiting to be developed, perhaps we should start from this aspect to tie the Coalition Government and the Wehrmacht firmly to our chariots......

Churchill didn't speak, but his smiling expression said it all: he was doing just that. with resources and technology. Tie up the coalition government and the Defence Force.

I believe that these are things that the Germans have no way to provide to China, and perhaps they can provide part of the technology. However, the Germans themselves are extremely short of resources, and it is impossible to consider sharing them with the Chinese side.

They may even stop fighting in Southeast Asia for the sake of Japan. In order to ensure that there are sufficient resources for the day. Keep helping them in their battles.

This is obviously not in the interests of China, and China and Japan can be described as a deep blood feud. Those crimes committed by the Japanese during the occupation of China. There is no forgiveness.

And more importantly, the Wehrmacht itself is also propagandized. In other words, the situation between the Wehrmacht and Japan has now reached the point where it will not stop dying.

In this respect, it was even more unlikely that the coalition government and the Tiger would cooperate with the Axis powers on the German and Japanese sides.

"We still need to work hard, try to push a ......"

Before they arrived, they had received a notification from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the coalition government. On the second day of the reception, before the negotiations, everyone would lay flowers in front of the monument that symbolized all the soldiers who died in the war for China.

This actually made people including Churchill, Stalin and Gerhardt a little embarrassed. Because on the monument, the battle of Bali Bridge is also engraved.

The Battle of Bali Bridge was the place where Zeng Lingqin of the Manchu Qing Dynasty led his main Mongolian cavalry to fight a decisive battle with the Eight-Nation Alliance. In this battle, Zeng Lingqin's cavalry elite was lost, which led to the final invasion of the imperial capital by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

"Although it was a failure, although it was a failure to complete its mission of protecting the family and defending the country. But we should still remember those heroic souls who died fighting for their country, which they won. Even if they fail, they are bleeding for the country! ”

This was when there was a huge controversy when this relief was built, and Tu Menghu stood up and said it.

"The battle of Bali Bridge was fierce. Zeng Lingqin and Shengbao were certainly wrong, but they dared to stand up and lead their soldiers to a decisive battle with the coalition forces at that time, which was a kind of courage. ”

"Do you know what the French, who led the army at that time, said?! At that time, Paul de la Grande, a lieutenant of the French expeditionary force, described the Qing cavalry as follows: "Shells and bullets could not completely destroy them, and the cavalry seemed to have risen from the ashes." They were so tenacious that for a time they would desperately rush to a distance of only 30 meters from the artillery. Our artillery continued and repeated volleys, shells flew to their right and left, and they fell under fire ......'"

"We must remember the defeat, but also the soldiers who fought for their country despite the defeat. Although they may not stand the same position as we are, and they may not be the same as our time. But they were able to fight for their country, and this courage and sacrifice is worthy of our remembrance in any case. ”

Tu Menghu's words can be regarded as setting the tone for this matter. Since then, no one has raised any objections to the seal carving of the relief. This relief was thus placed on this monument.

We do not commemorate the generals and soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but those soldiers who fought to the death for the country. What we are thinking of is their courage to fight for their country.

Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight rose, a guard of honor walked in front of the former imperial city in the imperial capital. Dressed in solemn military uniforms in army green, with riding boots on their feet and holding the flag of the Wehrmacht, they slowly walked towards this monument that stood proudly in the morning light.

Today is a special day, and all the veterans who have participated in the Wehrmacht inside and outside the imperial capital have put down their work and rushed to this monument.

Many people have been waiting here since yesterday evening, and they are all waiting for today's ceremony.

"All ~ walk in unison!!" With a solemn shout, the team's tapping pace slowed down. In a neat pace, the guard of honor ascended the base of this monument.

The Wehrmacht veterans below were so excited that they didn't know who shouted "Salute~~" and suddenly the crowd saluted towards the monument that looked infinitely tall in the morning light.

They are dressed differently, their faces are different. They even have different identities and ages, but at this time their military salute is unusually uniform.

"Get up! Those who do not want to be slaves have built our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall......"

The military band began to play the song, and the fighters of the honor guard remained silent. And the people below who saluted were whispering the lyrics to the music with tears in their eyes......

"The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time......

By this time, Gerhardt, Churchill, Stalin and Hull had already arrived. They looked at the neat crowd and the tall and solemn monument, and their hearts were shocked!

At this time, they also noticed that the Wehrmacht generals around them were solemnly saluting the monument. The tiger in a military uniform without epaulettes looked so tall in the morning light......

PS: Another day of blackouts...... China Southern Power Grid is powerless to complain...... This line has been changed from last year to this year, are you changing the Shenma line......
