Churchill was inexplicable and incomprehensible when Li Xiaofeng suddenly mentioned the Chinese issue, and the old smoker never thought that there was any "problem" in China, let alone why the Soviet Union should pay attention to this poor and backward country in the East.

Let's put it this way, the old smoker always looks down on Huaxia, and doesn't think that Huaxia plays a key role in this war, and the Huaxia in his eyes is an existence of the same level as India, and belongs to the cannon fodder of the empire.

"The governments of the three countries have already decided to increase aid to Huaxia, isn't that enough?" Churchill asked in a very arrogant and critical tone.

"Of course not enough!" Li Xiaofeng pushed him back without showing weakness, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I hope you pay attention to your tone, if it were not for Huaxia's million-strong army to contain Japan, the Japanese army would have been able to sweep through Southeast Asia and India at this moment, and your country's pitiful garrison force would not be enough to pose much threat to Japan." In a sense, China's stubborn resistance has safeguarded your country's interests in Asia. Even from this point of view, your country must be grateful for the great contribution of China. Instead of treating friends with the arrogant face of a colonist! ”

Li Xiaofeng's words were very direct, and he didn't give Qiu Fatzi face, which made him a little unable to get off the stage, and when he was about to fight back, Roosevelt, who was sitting next to him, also spoke: "I think Mr. Andre's statement is reasonable, Huaxia has made important contributions in this great war, and it should be respected by the allies." ”

Churchill's cheeks twitched, he really didn't understand why Roosevelt also spoke for China, what is worth mentioning about that poor, backward and divided country? Wouldn't it be nice for them to give a little help to play, why improve their international status? At present, it is the most important thing to preserve France's international position. Isn't it?

It's a pity. Roosevelt didn't think so. The old president believed that France's contribution to the current war was really limited, and that it had to surrender in embarrassment after a few months of being disgraced by the Germans. A considerable part of France's war resources were occupied by the Germans, which led to the Germans becoming more powerful. Although China is poor and white, although it has lost half of the country, it has always resisted, and no matter how it is, it can contain a large number of Japanese troops. In contrast, does France look like a world power?

Moreover. Roosevelt believed that this world war was not a traditional war to maintain the old international order, and that the United States had no intention of completely maintaining the old order built by Britain and France, and that these two countries had monopolized a large number of colonies and occupied too many markets, which was not good for the United States. Therefore, dismembering or dismantling the British and French colonial systems and building a new order in line with the interests of the United States is something he is concerned about.

Therefore, it is inevitable that France should die. Who let the French not give strength, and if they don't give strength, they still want to take more and get more, where is this reason? The Huaxia issue is a good starting point. This semi-colonial country was not completely controlled by Britain and France, and it was costly to strip it from the British and French colonial system. And if it succeeds, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction that will deal a heavy blow to the British and French colonial system. What's more, the Chinese market is not small, and the resources are relatively rich, and its potential is still very ideal. Back then, Uncle Sam didn't even let go of Cuba and the Philippines, not to mention the huge China.

Therefore, it was Roosevelt's established policy to raise China's political status and pull Huaxia onto the American chariot. At first, he felt that it was not ripe to ask this question immediately, who would have thought that the Russians would grab his head, naturally he could not let the Russians focus on beauty.

"The U.S. government is concerned about the Chinese issue and helps the country get rid of poverty and ignorance. By the people. The Lord's path to prosperity is the hope of the American people...... The American people are against colonization. believes that this backward system of exploitation should disappear as soon as possible......"

Roosevelt's statement made Churchill's face more and more ugly, but what embarrassed him was still to come, because Li Xiaofeng immediately added: "The Soviet government and people agree with Mr. Roosevelt's statement that all countries should give up the unequal treaties with China, give up the unequal right to adjudicate, and give up the concessions." In since. The development of a new type of relations with China under the principles of equality, equality and fairness is the trend of history. The door of China should be open on an equal footing, not a private paradise for individual countries! ”

Roosevelt looked at Li Xiaofeng with some surprise, because someone's last sentence was very meaningful. One of the things that the United States is leading is the principle of equal opportunity in opening the door in order to break the monopoly of Britain and France on China. Before that, the Soviet Union had always emphasized the export of revolution and the development of ranks. level struggle, ready to put them in a pot of capitalism. And today, in someone's mouth, the attitude of the USSR suddenly changed significantly and became quite in line with American tastes, is this a signal?

However, Roosevelt did not have time to figure out the meaning for the time being, because he knew that he had to go along with someone's statement immediately, because the British were about to fight back, and they had to unite with the Soviet Union to bring down Britain first.

Roosevelt immediately stated: "I fully agree with Mr. Andrew's proposal since . The three principles of equality, equality and fairness. The US Government is also willing to take the lead in abandoning the unequal treaty with China and signing a new agreement of mutual benefit with China on the basis of the above three principles. And the US government hopes that all countries in the world will adopt a similar strategy to develop relations with China! ”

Churchill was squeezed enough, he just wanted to oppose it, but was blocked back by Roosevelt, the big financiers all had this attitude, and they also sang high-pitched, this army general made him really breathless.

Churchill gave Li Xiaofeng a vicious look, he once again felt someone's evil, this bastard broke the tacit understanding between Britain and the United States in just a few words, and made the relationship between the three countries more delicate, which undoubtedly caused considerable trouble for the British Empire.

Of course, Churchill knew that the British Empire was forced to shrink due to its declining power, but he never admitted that the British Empire was in its twilight. He believed that what the British Empire needed was only a period of adjustment, and only a respite. In order to win this opportunity, he believed that it would be enough to win over the United States and cede some of its interests. But Roosevelt's statement just now immediately made him feel half cold.

The only difference between the Americans and the Germans is the method, the Germans have always tried to kick the British Empire off the throne in a blatant way, while the Americans are "making a fortune" and extortion. Neither this light nor dark is a good thing.

It's a pity that Churchill is depressed. For the time being, the British Empire had no way to defend itself against such blackmail. If you don't follow the baton of the Americans. It is difficult to say whether the British Empire will survive this world war.

The depressed Churchill could only bow to reality, and could only acquiesce to the United States and the Soviet Union to unite to dismantle Taiwan: "The British Empire advocates the people. . . Lord and Self. We respect the choices of people of different races and are willing to make new contributions to the development of the world. However, we have always believed that ignorance and ignorance are still the mainstream in the underdeveloped regions of the world, and it will take time for these backward regions to embark on the path of independent development. Blindly rushing for results may only backfire! ”

Roosevelt and Li Xiaofeng both laughed secretly. Obviously, the British could not resist and could only find an excuse to delay time. However, both Roosevelt and Li Xiaofeng believed that this delay was just a matter of gluttony, and that Britain was already in the past tense, and it was no longer possible to sit in the first place.

Of course, the two of them are not in a hurry to force the British to step down immediately, that will not work well, anyway, when it comes naturally, it is enough to apply pressure slowly. Pushing the British to jump over the wall will cost you more.

So Li Xiaofeng and Roosevelt immediately expressed their appreciation for Churchill's open-mindedness. It is hoped that Churchill will play a greater and more active role in this issue. Of course, these words almost didn't make the old smoker angry.

After deciding on the general policy. The next question is easy to talk about, with the strong support of the United States and the Soviet Union, China's international status has been greatly enhanced, nominally it is the core power of anti-fascism, and it has the same status as Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, but in fact everyone knows that this is false. For the time being, China's national strength cannot support such an international status, and it is just a showpiece for the time being.

The attitude of the United States and the Soviet Union on enhancing China's international status is the same, but the contradictions between the two countries are still rather acute in dealing with China's internal problems. For example, the spokesperson of US imperialism is the People's Party, while the Soviet Union is the Communist Party, and both sides are trying their best to safeguard the interests of their own spokespeople.

"As the only ruling party that can represent the legitimate regime of China, the Scraping People's Party, they can represent this country! To respect the sovereignty of China, we must first respect the government of the people, and your country's previous practice is obviously an attempt to split China, and this must be stopped! ”

Li Xiaofeng replied: "This is a mistake, the Soviet government has been selflessly aiding the government and the party, and without the assistance of the Soviet Union, the government would not have been able to support it today." And we must see that this regime and party are extremely rotten and FB, and it is also internally divided, and at one time it was undecided on resistance and surrender. The Soviet government must be held accountable for the invaluable aid provided by the Soviet people tightening their belts, which must be used against Japan, not squandered and used in the fight against the civil war! ”

After a pause, Li Xiaofeng continued: "According to the country. The declaration of the second cooperation between the two sides, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were also the legitimate armed forces of the Scrape People's Government, and they were more active and enthusiastic in fighting Japan. In order to defeat the Japanese fascists as soon as possible, how could it be unreasonable and legal for the Soviet government to give the necessary support to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army? ”

At the end, Li Xiaofeng also sarcastically said: "Some people are not willing to resist the war, so don't stand in the pit and don't." Precious resources should be reserved for those who are willing to resist the war! ”

The corners of Roosevelt's mouth twitched, in fact, he didn't like to scrape the Kuomintang and Chiang, and if Huaxia had a choice that was more in line with the interests of the United States, he would not hesitate to abandon it. But unfortunately, apart from scraping the Democratic Party, the United States has almost no other choice, and it can't always choose the T Communist Party, right? Out of the interests of the country, Roosevelt could only reluctantly say good things and stand for the Kuomintang, not to mention how uncomfortable this feeling was.

"I understand your country's thoughts," Roosevelt sighed helplessly, "but we must proceed from the overall situation of safeguarding the interests of China, for the time being there is no better and more legitimate choice than scraping the Kuomintang, we should put aside the unpleasantness for the time being, work together to defeat Japan first, and those problems can be left to the future to solve!" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded and said: "I have no objection to solving these problems in the future, but I hope that there is a big policy - the future of China can no longer fight a civil war, and the two parties should use the people. The Lord settles all disputes peacefully! ”

Roosevelt immediately nodded in agreement, but Li Xiaofeng added: "In order to ensure that the people. The principle of peace has been implemented, and our two countries should issue a warning to the two parties in China and draw a red line once either side breaches the red line in the future. They must be severely stopped and sanctioned. ”

Roosevelt frowned. After pondering for a long time. He said that it was acceptable, but at the same time he asked: "What are the means of suppression and sanctions?" ”

Li Xiaofeng knew very well that Roosevelt was worried about the Soviet Union's use of force, so he made it clear: "The Soviet Union has no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, let alone using force." All sanctions should be non-violent, and the imposition of economic sanctions and an arms embargo on the party that provoked the civil war is sufficient. ”

Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief, he could still accept such a method, as long as the Soviet Union did not send troops. Then he is not opposed to economic sanctions and embargoes, and probably in the old president's opinion, even without the support of the United States, the People's Party can win the civil war provoked.

Of course, only Li Xiaofeng knows best the ability to scrape the People's Party, that is really a logistics company disguised as a country, as the so-called Kaishen Logistics mission must be achieved, Lao Jiang's transportation captain is really doing a beautiful job!

So far, the talks have reached a perfect conclusion, and there are no more difficult problems in the Triple Alliance. In addition to the fact that the British were more depressed, the United States and the Soviet Union were still very satisfied. This also led to later reminiscences of this meeting. The tone of the three parties is not quite the same.

Churchill looked very depressed, and he was completely in the posture of a wolf: "...... Crisis looms over Great Britain...... I'm afraid that even if the Axis powers are defeated, the British Empire will not be careless, and our enemies are not only the Soviet Union......"

Roosevelt was more relaxed, and he spoke highly of the significance of this recollection in his recollection: "This is a meeting that opens a new era, the heads of state of the three countries have reached consensus on various complex issues, and the results of this meeting will lay the foundation for the world for the next 50 years!" Of course, in his recollections, he also focused on his impressions of a certain immortal: "Andrey. Petrovich was different from the traditional Soviet leaders, who had strong official positions. Bureaucracy, whose ideology has always been highly tense...... Rigidity, dogma, and inexplicable neuroticism make it difficult to communicate with them. But Andrey. Petrovich doesn't have any of these things, he approaches issues like a seasoned diplomat, aggressive but flexible......"

As for Li Xiaofeng, he didn't have much emotion about it, and after returning to Moscow, he was in the middle of the . In addition to talking about the significance of the talks, the report of the Central Committee is more of a reminder. Members of the Central Committee - Imperialism will not die. To be highly vigilant against imperialism using soft power to disintegrate and defeat us, all party members and cadres must strengthen their personal cultivation and be vigilant against and. Flat. Perform. Change!

"You won't talk about Andrey. Petrovich, at this moment of alliance, it's not appropriate to talk about this, right? ”

In the face of Ulitsky's reminder, Trotsky said: "This is not a big problem, it is enough for Comrade Andrei to make concessions and allow the establishment of a worldwide anti-fascist alliance." As for the warnings he raised, although they were a little extreme, they were not without practical significance. It doesn't hurt to improve your personal cultivation and be vigilant! ”

Yes, for Trotsky, as long as a certain immortal does not make trouble, he is thankful. As for the extra words made by someone, he only regarded them as someone's "death struggle" in order to maintain his personal face and prestige. He said: "Always give someone a channel to vent their frustrations and complaints! ”

It can be seen that Trotsky was very happy with the conclusion of the alliance, and even thought that once the alliance was established, the future days of the Trotskyists would be much better. Presumably, he felt that this alliance was an important political capital, and that with this alliance the Trotskyists could flourish again.

On February 14, 1943, a month after the Bermuda talks, when the diplomatic agencies of the three countries worked out the details, the world anti-fascist grand alliance was finally established, led by Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and China, with dozens of countries participating in the alliance formally declared war on the Axis powers. On the same day that the alliance was founded, Operation Torch in North Africa was launched.

Operation Torch was quite impressive, with more than 100,000 people in amphibious operations, especially Patton's troops rushing directly from the United States mainland to Morocco, this kind of organizational ability fully demonstrated the amazing war potential of the United States.

When Ubolevich learned the specifics of this operation, he was also taken aback, as the commander-in-chief of the Red Army. Chief of Staff, he knew very well that such an operation would not be possible for the time being by the Red Army. For the time being, the Red Army is at most engaged in amphibious operations in the coastal waters, and its projection capacity is at most about one division.

To this end, he wrote in his memorandum: "Enhancing the Red Navy's ocean-going combat capability and keeping the enemy out of the country is extremely important for ensuring future national security!" ”

Ubolevich understood why a certain immortal had been strengthening the construction of the navy and had always emphasized the need to build a powerful ocean-going navy. Obviously, this is to prevent the United States from going. And now the United States has indeed made Ubolevich feel terror, especially in late February, when the hordes of American freighters docked in Murmansk and sent tens of thousands of supplies to Soviet land, because the number was so large that it directly paralyzed the operation of the docks in Murmansk.

He once again wrote in the memorandum: "It is urgent to enhance the combat strength of the Red Navy and build a large ocean-going navy!" (To be continued.) )
