PS: The second update is sent

..................................................................

By this time, the Anglo-American camp and the Soviet-German camp had reached a stalemate.

Let's talk about Britain and the United States first, in the Atlantic theater, the German army's snorkel electric submarines were extremely rampant, which made the British and American escort forces overstretched and difficult to deal with, resulting in heavy losses for British and American merchant ships, and the tonnage that was sunk for almost a whole year was much higher than the newly built tonnage.

Several large-scale Allied counteroffensives in Africa were repulsed by the Soviet Union. In addition, because of the extensive use of German jet fighters, the strategic bombing of Germany was seriously hindered, and the losses of bombers were so high that the United States and Britain suffered pain. Now that the situation in the Indian subcontinent has collapsed again, this bad news after another has dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Allied forces.

If the United States had not immediately started a national mobilization, frantically increased the production of materials, and in addition shifted from China and the countries of the People's Revolutionary Union to purchase a large number of merchant ships with supplies and increased the volume of transportation to Britain, I am afraid that Britain might not have been able to support it.

From the beginning of the war to the end of August 1942, the British and American transport fleets had lost more than 9,000 ships under the attack of the German wolf pack, and the tonnage of the loss reached an astonishing 50 million tons, which was more than three times the total victory of the German wolf pack in the entire war in the original time and space. If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the United States to increase the amount of shipbuilding to make up for it, and more importantly, for the fact that China, the world's factory, sold a large number of merchant ships to support it, Britain would have starved long ago.

In the past three years, China has sold an average of 1,600 merchant ships a year, and about 12 million tons of merchant ships loaded with supplies have been sold to the British and American allies, an average of five a day! Of course, some of them were sold to the German and Soviet armies, but they were much less, only a few million tons. Because the main thing sold to these two was by land, and now there are two Eurasian railways, and Chinese supplies can be sent directly to the Soviet Union.

It is precisely because of the importance of China, the world's factory, that even if the cactus Garner is dissatisfied with Wendesi's war wealth, Qiu Fatzi is even more bitter to Wendesi's hatred, but they dare not speak out, and they can even be said to be arbitrarily played, given and demanded, and lose their dignity, but they still have to pretend to laugh and sell well. This is the most fundamental reason why they dare not provoke China. Otherwise, don't talk about going to sea to participate in the war, as long as China pinches the pipeline that supplies ships, Britain will collapse within three months.

In the past few years, the two British and American bigwigs, especially Qiu Fatzi, can be said to have tasted the taste of being slapped in the face with the soles of their shoes stained with cow dung, and they have to laugh like ****.

But also for the same reason, Wen Desi's current reputation in China is already in full swing, completely destroying all the great men in history, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as he says today that he wants to be called the emperor, tomorrow more than ninety percent of the people will worship and dance, happily welcome him to the throne, and enthrone him.

The reason is very simple, because there is no one in China who is not his interest partner, no one who has not received his benefits, and no one who is not a vested interest in his policies. The emerging capitalists, businessmen, workers, and logistics workers of China's various public and private enterprises have all made a lot of money in the frenzy of foreign purchases of civilian materials and arms in the past few years.

Even the peasants and agricultural companies that had acquired homestead land in the new territories exported large quantities of their grain and non-staple food to Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, although a large part of them were sunk to the bottom by German wolves during transportation. But as long as they receive the money, who cares if what is sold is fed to people or to fish?

Even when China attacked the South Seas and the subcontinent for peacekeeping in recent years, it did not enter the national mobilization system, and at the end of last year, when victory in the Sino-South Sea War was about to end, the number of the Chinese People's Liberation Army at its peak was only 6 million, and now it has returned to 5.5 million. In other words, the wars that China has fought in recent years can only be regarded as local wars, and the country as a whole has always been in peacetime.

Relative to China, not to mention Germany, even the United States, which has the strongest war potential, has already mobilized 11 million people and entered the overall war system of national mobilization. And now the population of the United States is just over one-eighth of that of China (low in 1941, the Chinese population was 945 million, and the American population was 121 million).

In short, after the outbreak of World War II, reselling arms and materials everywhere and making a lot of war money and dead people's wealth is exactly the portrayal of China now, just like the United States during the European war in the original time and space.

Moreover, China did far worse than the United States at the time, when the United States was unilaterally supportive, and it was a very serious tendency to pull the bias, selling a large amount of arms and materials to Britain and France, which can be described as a clear position. But now China's arms and materials are sold on both sides, and they are sold on a large scale. For the allies who lacked merchant supplies because of the wolf pack, they sold them merchant supplies, and for the Soviet-German camp with insufficient military strength, they resold weapons to strengthen their strength, so that the war could drag on a little longer, and even the submarines and aircraft in active service (treaty submarines and various turboprop aircraft) were sold as such.

Moreover, China's major enterprises also took advantage of the fact that the two belligerents had switched to a wartime system and were unable to compete in civilian goods, and the world attacked to seize the private market. It's just selling everything, making everything. Of course, Wen Desi himself has already become the richest man in the world, and the total asset value of major enterprises led by the Xingke consortium under his name, as well as black, white and gray vest companies in various countries, is estimated to exceed 80 billion Chinese yuan, and it continues to increase rapidly.

This is a country that is truly rich and rivals. Well, Comrade Ulyanov's disclosure to him back then was not enough, because he was not only the largest capitalist in China, but also the largest capitalist in the world.

Incidentally, most of China's arms sales to Britain and the United States have been redirected through the United States, rather than directly by the United Kingdom. Because China requires the use of hard currency or materials such as real money and silver to pay for goods.

There are more German wolves in this plane than the bunkers in the original space-time, this is a proper large electric submarine, with high concealment and long-term self-sustainability. With the support of the "cows" (supply submarines), they can run all over the world, not only in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean, but also in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Coupled with the powerful oxygen torpedo of sound guidance, the threat of these guys is not ordinary. And Britain is in the current situation, even if there is gold, silver and materials, it is difficult to transport them.

So in most cases, China sells arms merchant ships to the United States, and then the United States provides them to Britain through Lend-Lease. Even if China later began to provide loans, the creditors were mainly to the United States, and although the United Kingdom also owed China a lot of debt, it was much less than that of the United States. The reason for this is naturally that Wen Deji does not believe in the relationship between the British solvency from the bottom of his heart.

In the past few years, through the sale of large sums of arms, merchant ships, and civilian supplies, Wen Desi has bought back all the Chinese cultural relics that were scattered in Britain, the United States, Germany, and even the Soviet Union, and even exchanged many cultural relics that are not Chinese.

Well, most of them are handed over to China in the name of "gifts" or "exchanges", and Wen Desi will never spend a lot of money to buy cultural relics that others have stolen. Of course, because China did a lot of this kind of thing during the First World War, there are not many cultural relics that have been lost abroad, mainly concentrated in the United States or some private collectors in various countries.

These things are still according to the old rules, first all of them are archived, 3D scanned and then digital models are created and archived. Then let the relevant experts review, the most meaningful and highest-value, are sent to the National Museum of China in the capital, a little more handed over to various local museums, and then used to auction to the domestic private auction.

At this time, there were many local tyrants in China, and then the east wind of World War I and World War II, but there were many millionaires, multimillionaires, and even billionaires. These local tyrants have to pretend to be forced when they have money, and antiques are of course the best equipment objects. These antiques and works of art are sold for a very high price, and the funds from the auction are sent to the state treasury as special income, which is usually used for charity and environmental causes.

Moreover, this kind of money will be marked as the source of so-and-so, the amount, the operating cost, and the actual amount of allocation, all of which are publicized on the portal website with high transparency. For bidders, it is also equivalent to indirectly doing public welfare, so this kind of auction is very popular. The local tyrants have made money in face, and the bidding psychology is naturally more explosive, so many targets have been auctioned at exaggerated prices.

Hankyung, presidential palace.

"Mr. Wen, urgent intelligence, the Soviet Union is about to make peace with the United States......" Huo Jinsi, director of the National Intelligence Bureau, hurriedly came to report.

"Well, I know......" Wen Desi nodded quietly after reading the top-secret information sent back from Moscow: "Xiaolu, notify the members of the Central Committee to hold an emergency meeting......

"Okay......" Gu Xiaolu hurriedly went to arrange the meeting.

Within three hours, all 188 members of the Central Committee were present, except for those who were sick and hospitalized. Western Governor Ximen Fuxue and other bigwigs in other places have enabled the remote meeting mode through a confidential special line to participate in the meeting online.

Zhang Lizheng, who presided over the meeting, first introduced the situation: "Vice President Tao and Chairman Qiu are not in good health and have asked for leave. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still on the plane and cannot hold remote meetings...... The number of people attending the meeting is 183 now, and the number of people who meet the conference system will start now. Then he instructed the confidential secretaries to send the relevant information. For those bigwigs who have remote meetings, they are sent to their dedicated confidential conference terminals.
