Chapter 540: Hitler wasn't ruthless enough

The most famous leaders of World War II: Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin and, of course, Hitler. Lao Jiang is still a little far behind these people, so I won't mention it. On the same level as Lao Chiang, there are also Mussolini and Japanese people. It's a pity that Mussolini was almost playing soy sauce from the beginning, and the Italian army also performed a bit miserable in this world war, and there was almost no record that could be taken, so the author privately thought that Mussolini was a little worse than Lao Jiang. And those people in Japan, because of the "replacement" too frequently, so except for the last one who dares to fight with the United States, Hideki Tojo, there is nothing really worth paying attention to.

Therefore, during World War II, the names of Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin and Hitler were the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And if there is a further hierarchy among these four people, Roosevelt and Hitler must be the highest, and Churchill and Stalin are slightly behind. Because the latter two needed support from the United States to effectively resist Hitler's attack.

But then the problem arises: the four leaders, we can remember Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt, the biggest and ultimate victor, most of us can remember only a wheelchair. Who knows what Roosevelt looked like?

Anyway, Qin Wei didn't remember.

If a group of people stood in front of him, he could tell the other three leaders at a glance, but without considering the wheelchair, he would never recognize which one was Roosevelt.

Perhaps, this is because all three Churchills are more distinctive than Roosevelt, or maybe they are all ...... It doesn't grow tall, all of them hovering around 1.60M, which is more than 20 centimeters behind Roosevelt?

And remove Roosevelt. Qin Wei has always been most interested in Churchill.

It's not that the other two are not good enough, in Qin Wei's view, whether it is Hitler or Stalin, whether they are evil or good, or persistent, their performance from the inside to the outside is at least consistent, but Churchill is different. It's a complete contradiction.

Churchill was the staunchest defender of the colonial interests of the British Empire, and he did everything in his power to preserve the collapsed British colonial system, even when he knew that the British colonial system was irreversible. But he once publicly proclaimed: "I do not believe that any people can be enslaved forever. Propaganda agencies can fill their minds with lies and deny the truth for generations. But the souls of men, who have been bewitched and frozen in the long night, will awaken by a spark from nowhere, and immediately the framework of lies and oppression will be judged for it. Enslaved peoples should never despair. ”

Churchill was tough, refused to admit defeat, and never lowered his big round head, no matter how difficult the circumstances. It was as if no one could really defeat him. Available in 1945, during the Pinestein Conference. He had another wonderful conversation with Stalin. At that time, Churchill lost the general election, and Stalin said very proudly: "Churchill, you won the war, but the people deposed you." Look at me, who dares to remove me!" on this. Churchill replied disapprovingly: "I am fighting to defend the people's right to remove me." ”

Churchill was resolute and put interests first. During World War II, he could be partners with Stalin in order to fight Germany. But as soon as World War II ended, Churchill delivered his Iron Curtain Speech, separating the capitalist and socialist worlds, and thus kicking off the Cold War.

And in addition to these, Churchill is still a "villain" who praises the high and the low!

For those who are not strong, he is above the top and disdainful, even if the other party can help him; And for those who are stronger than him, he can bend his will to meet him...... Nowhere is this contrasting performance more evident than in his face to China and the United States.

……

"Southeast Asia does not need China, and our cooperation with the Dutch government can completely keep the Japanese out of the Philippines. On the contrary, I think that what the Chinese are doing in Southeast Asia has the effect of undermining the strategic layout of the allies! ”

Roosevelt's perception of China was much worse than his previous history, but that did not prevent him from working with China. Moreover, as China has demonstrated its strength in Southeast Asia, he and his cabinet members and aides are also hoping to work more closely with the Chinese side to curb Japan's expansion. Therefore, after receiving Churchill's request for a meeting, he decided to invite representatives of the Chinese government to come with him, so as to hint to Churchill and tell the British prime minister that he did not want to think about the Asian war situation alone without China. However, Roosevelt's "statement" did not have any effect, and in front of Soong Ziwen and Yan Huiqing, Churchill directly ignored China's existence, and it can be said that he did not leave any face for China. And this made Roosevelt very embarrassed, and also made Yan Huiqing and Song Ziwen almost blow up their lungs.

"We don't want to comment on Mr. Prime Minister's point of view," Soong said, grimacing, "but we in China don't think we need Britain in Europe." After all, Britain was now almost powerless in the face of the German attack, and according to our Chinese words, it was 'a long way to go', and if it weren't for Hitler's efforts to attack the Soviet Union, we can believe that Britain would have followed in the footsteps of France......

"Bang!"

Churchill slapped his palm on the coffee table in front of him,

"The British Empire will never fail!"

"That's because Hitler wasn't ruthless enough!" Yan Huiqing on the side sneered, "We heard that Japan has successfully developed napalm!" They were allies of Hitler. This means that Hitler could turn the whole of Great Britain into a sea of fire at any time if he wanted to...... Tsk, I heard that the Libyan oil fields have more than doubled one after another after falling into the hands of the Italians, and I believe that Hitler definitely had the capital for this. ”

"Well, that makes sense." As if he didn't see Churchill's face, Song Ziwen also kept nodding there, "Napalm is a 'good thing', even steel can be burned." Once it is thrown into the city on a large scale, the consequences are ......"

"As far as I know, napalm has always been China's trump card. Although all countries are developing it, there has been no good result. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that the Japanese were able to develop this kind of bomb because of China's backing. Churchill changed color. Out of the usual pride of the British and his contempt for the Orientals, he did not take these two representatives of the Chinese government seriously. Moreover, after the official start of World War II, the relationship between China and Britain plummeted, especially Chinese attitude towards Britain, after France surrendered and Britain was forced to defend the British Isles, it turned from respect and fear to contempt...... It has become the norm for Chinese government officials to meet with their diplomats in China, and it has become the norm for China to reach out to Southeast Asia and to the interests of the British colonies. He is an arrogant person, if it is the United States or France and other powers, he can still treat them as equals and negotiate well, but for China, he really can't raise this mood, so he wants to give Song Ziwen and Yan Huiqing a dismount, but he didn't expect that as soon as he threw out of the dismount, he was unceremoniously blocked back by these two Chinese...... Napalm blooming all over the British Isles? If that were the case, it would be an unimaginable disaster. How can he hold on? What if the Germans did that?

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are allies, and I hope that we can cooperate sincerely and not be so hostile to each other."

Roosevelt was also taken aback by Song Ziwen's words. The British have not yet tasted the power of napalm, but the US military has already experienced it once in the Philippines. Even the Philippines, which is located in the tropics, has plenty of moisture, and cannot even light a fire in the woods, cannot withstand the ravages of napalm, and if the British Isles, which has a relatively dry climate, are dropped in large quantities of such bombs, Britain may really have no choice but to surrender. No matter how tough Churchill was, no matter how arrogant and unwilling the British were, they could not withstand the burning of large quantities of napalm. As Yan Huiqing just said, the Germans now have oil from Libya supplied by the Italians, and there is no shortage of raw materials at all. Hitler, with determination, could have dropped hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of gasoline on Great Britain.

"These Chinese are really murderous! How could they have come up with such a cruel trick? Roosevelt secretly wiped a handful of sweat. Fortunately, China is not yet their enemy. If these people really cooperated with the Germans and made another mistake to do so, the United States probably would not be able to prepare for war as calmly as it does now. Because once the British Isles surrendered, the war in Europe would be over for most of the time, and Stalin could not fight Hitler alone. In that case, even if the United States entered the war, it would have no forward position and could only cross the Atlantic first...... In that case, the chances of their defeat would be infinitely higher.

"It's all you!"

Thinking of this, Roosevelt glanced at Churchill with a slight reproach. If there is something to do, why do you provoke people as soon as you come up? Do you think that if Britain and the United States reach an agreement, the Chinese will be forced to withdraw from Southeast Asia under pressure? If Britain and the United States really exclude China from cooperation, they may be even more unscrupulous in snatching interests in Southeast Asia. No matter how strong Britain and the United States are, it is impossible to confront Germany in Europe and China and Japan in Southeast Asia at the same time.

"Yes, we do need sincere cooperation." Churchill naturally received Roosevelt's dissatisfaction, and he did not dare to offend the big financier, so his tone immediately changed: "I apologize for my rude just now...... However, just like the United Kingdom, Japan is an island nation. And China was the first country to invent napalm, so why don't you use such a trick on the Japanese? I think if you do that, the war on the Asian side will soon be over! ”

"Because...... The war in Asia cannot end too soon! (To be continued......)
