"Did you hear what you just said? My God, why did the Vichy government, which had been seeking the restoration of some autonomy in France, suddenly become a force in favor of greater European integration?" said a man in a suit sitting in the corner of the dining room, to the two politicians in front of him.

"The newly established Israel is also biased towards the Third Reich, and has expressed its intention to join the Asian, African, and European bloc dominated by the Third Reich after the war...... Another politician sighed, then took a sip of his glass and said: "Have you ever heard of the word United Nations? The Germans are playing a bigger and bigger game." ”

A group of drunken men in the distance suddenly stood up, raised their wine glasses, and let out a somewhat frightening wild laugh: "Cheers to the eternal prosperity of Greater Germany!" Their shouts made the whole restaurant boil, and many people raised their wine glasses and sang in harmony, and for a time the crowd was full of voices.

"God forbid, if it weren't for what those who went to Africa with the German Führer Accardo, I wouldn't have believed that a politician like Chamberlain would personally visit Berlin at such a time and almost broadcast on television the shameless appearance of him kneeling down and swearing allegiance to Accardo. The other businessman shook his head and grumbled.

The first merchant to speak was a Frenchman who had been looking forward to the eventual liberation of his country one day. But he did not wait for this day, but on the contrary saw the fact that France had completely become a vassal of the unity of "Greater Europe".

He knocked on the table, picked up his glass, shook his head and sighed in frustration: "Don't talk about it! Anyway, even if the Third Reich unified Europe, we are the ones who will ultimately benefit. ”

After finishing speaking, he took advantage of his drunkenness, pointed to the Third Reich Swastika brooch on his chest, and then pretended to have a funny expression, and shouted to the other two people in front of him: "I am a real member of the Greater German Party, long live the Third Reich!"

Not only Vichy France, but also Britain in the north, Ireland and Sweden had already sent their envoys to Berlin to persuade Accardo to become emperor, and with one hundred and twenty sinceritys, he proposed the Third Reich as the permanent presidency of "Greater Europe".

The Siberian Federation and the Far Eastern republics also acted deferentially, firmly siding with the Axis powers, or the future United Nations. They conscientiously fulfilled their treaties with the Third Reich, relinquished the management of railways and mines, and even disbanded most of their armies in order to seek permanent refuge in the Third Reich.

"4 cities, 100,000 garrisons of the Third Reich...... This is the heart of trust in the great Third Reich as a member of the Axis powers. We look forward to further military cooperation between the two countries, in terms of weapons and ammunition calibers, specifications and designs, and future research and development...... Coalition will be carried out in all areas, and the integration of Greater Europe will surely become a reality. "The spokesman of Romania announced on the air the agreement on the stationing of troops that has just been signed between the two countries.

At the same time, the Italian side has shown its sincerity, subverting the worldview of all those who find the Greater Europe project difficult. The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs unexpectedly announced a resolution concerning the Italian royal family: "The King of Italy declares that he has renounced his ownership of the Italian throne and reduced himself to the Grand Duke of Italy, and all domestic affairs are left to the decision of Marshal Gallipoli of the Italian military government." ”

After that observation, after a loud bang in Africa, the power of the Third Reich seemed to have hung over the hearts of every European statesman like a dark cloud. After seeing the German army's tanks, planes, and artillery, the invincible generals, and the strong industrial base of Germany and the ability to integrate Europe, the mushroom cloud raised by the atomic bomb became the last straw in the hearts of these politicians, and broke everyone's heart to continue to persevere.

Most European government departments began to fly two national flags, one for their own country and the other for the blood-red flag of the Third Reich. In this game of thrones, the Third Reich emerged as the ultimate winner: its troop establishment became a unified European troop establishment, and its chain of command became the standard command system for all armies in Europe.

There are few disobedient people, and Europe as a whole seems to be exceptionally submissive, especially at the government level, touting the benefits of union, but few people are concerned that national sovereignty is under certain threat.

Just kidding, a whole 4 million German troops are now being slowly resettled by the German government, and these battle-hardened soldiers are worried that there is no place to continue to display their best killing skills......

In Washington, D.C., the crowd of people seeing off President Roosevelt had not yet dispersed, and when the carriage carrying the president had just arrived at the cemetery, among the officials at the funeral site, Marshall was talking with General Eisenhower, who had rushed back to Washington. Both of them are pro-war factions in the United States, and now they are both facing the same dilemma: the new president may be a pro-peace faction.

"There are all indications that the Germans have successfully tested the atomic bomb. Two American journalists were invited to the Sahara Desert, where the German Führer Accardo personally presided over the process of the experimental explosion...... It is said that the power is earth-shattering!" Marshall has been tracking intelligence about German nuclear weapons in recent days.

However, the most direct proof of this is the turmoil in the entire European political arena. The countries that had been in defiance of the German appeal had suddenly become subservient, and the attitude of these countries had changed so suddenly that Marshall would not have believed it if it had not been for the secret experiment.

"Things are getting worse and worse...... A few days ago, I received inside information from the Chinese government that Mr. Chen, the special envoy to Germany, and his wife, had suddenly changed their attitude of neutrality and proposed to the government an alliance with Germany. General Eisenhower said to Marshall depressedly: "It is said that they witnessed the explosion of German nuclear weapons, and they can see it clearly from dozens of kilometers away." ”

"Could it be that the Germans are playing tricks, and they are looking for some people to create false information in order to deceive us?" Marshall, still doubting whether the Germans really possessed the method of making the atomic bomb, said to General Eisenhower after some thought.

Without answering Marshall's question head-on, General Eisenhower abruptly dropped the topic and jumped on to another topic: "I have heard that Japan used chemical weapons against Germany, in the Far East...... When the German Führer learned of this, he was furious and made an angry speech?"

"Is that the speech that claimed to represent the Axis powers, on behalf of the Third Reich, and sentenced more than 1,000 Japanese war criminals to death?" Marshall heard Eisenhower's question and immediately replied, "To be honest, it's quite exciting...... What's the matter? Do you want me to take a moment of silence for those idiots in Japan?"

"No, if I'm not mistaken, the ship carrying the envoy is already on its way to Israel...... The big guys above us, they're a little more cautious than we think. The negotiations will continue until the first atomic bomb is dropped. Eisenhower brought the topic back to the question he had just put down: "We can only wait patiently and use Japan to prove whether the German atomic bomb is real or not." ”

In the absence of any definite intelligence support, the US authorities and the British government-in-exile have put their calculations on waiting for this safest strategy. They all wanted to see if the Germans would retaliate with the atomic bomb for the Japanese chemical weapons attack, and if the atomic bomb was really as terrible as everyone thought, it was time to end the protracted war.

However, the Third Reich did not seem to be prepared to give everyone enough time to think about it, and in the early hours of September 1, 400 German heavy bombers visited the Allied bases in Iceland in the Atlantic, destroying most of the buildings and facilities on the islands, followed by the shelling of seven battleships of Germany, France and Italy......

At noon on 2 September, smoke began to rise from the Icelandic volcano, and the Axis battleships stopped their shelling and began to return home. As it quieted down, the commander of the British Air Force, Hugh Dowding, committed suicide by poisoning himself in his headquarters. The island's last few Meteor jet fighters crashed against German bombers, and despair pervaded the hearts of everyone in the British government-in-exile.

On 3 September, under pressure from the prospect of another German attack, the British government-in-exile issued a statement on radio formally returning Iceland to Denmark - the Allied forces withdrew from Iceland and left the volcanic island, which was already almost inhabited.

On 11 September, in Berlin, the capital of Germany, the first "Greater European Joint Conference" was held, and Arcardo Rudolf, as the permanent head of state, took the stage to deliver a speech, announcing the formal establishment of the "Greater European Union" and the formal unification of Europe in the face of the absolute strength of the Third Reich. On this day, after the resolution, all countries abolished the title of the former leader and uniformly used the term "joint parliamentarian" to address the heads of state. As the permanent presidency of the head of the Third Reich, Accardo retained the title of head of state and began to exercise the functions of president of the joint parliament -

In the next chapter, at the end of the day, Long Ling hopes to try his best to fulfill his promise!
