Chapter 646: Franco-German Negotiations

Several new ships of the Chinese Navy in this plane can find prototypes in the original time and space.

The Taishan-class heavy patrol is equivalent to the enlarged and scaled version of the Type 055, and the Kunlun Mountain-class heavy patrol is equivalent to the nuclear-powered amplified and scaled version of the Type 055. The Heilongjiang-class light cruiser is equivalent to an enlarged version of the Type 052D. The 5,000-ton Nanjing-class destroyer is equivalent to an enlarged version of Type 054A. The 1,600-ton Fangcheng-class frigate is an enlarged version of the Type 056.

It's like this, one level corresponds to one level, and it's all amplified. The frigate has been upgraded to a destroyer, and the destroyer has been upgraded to a cruiser, and some people may ask, why not copy it? The reason is very simple, it is because the strategic needs of China and the Great Tu Dynasty are different.

The naval strategy of the Datu Dynasty is mainly coastal defense plus some ocean-going operations, while the Chinese naval strategy on this plane is a global deployment, which requires that it can be used in any sea area on the earth. Under this strategy, the warships of the Great Tu Dynasty naturally appear to be smaller and must be enlarged, otherwise they will not be able to meet the requirements of global deployment.

By the way, with Wen Dehei, China's warships, aircraft, combat vehicles and other equipment, the computers used are naturally all modular open systems, and the interface specifications have been formulated, which can be easily upgraded and replaced. Wen Deji would not do such a stupid thing as letting a warship use a computer system from a decade or a few decades ago. Since it's a computer, it's natural to be able to upgrade easily and happily. Speaking of which, he doesn't even like the general interface. Of course, the CPU can't help it, but if possible, he requires the system perimeter to be hot-swappable. He knows very well that such a design may be higher in terms of acquisition cost and more complex in design, but it can save money and time after more than ten years and decades.

"What's going on? The Germans are interested in making peace with France?" Wen Dehei, who was visiting one of the latest defense class frigates, received a very shocking piece of information.

Gu Weijun, who came from Hanjing, replied: "Yes, Mr. Wen, because the purpose of Germany's war this time is the oil fields, not to really annex the whole of Europe. So France was not their real enemy, and Hitler did not intend to destroy France......"

Wen Deji nodded, of course he knew this, the cause of World War II in this plane was completely different from that of the original plane. World War II on the plane was, to put it bluntly, a "war caused by oil". What Germany wants is an oil field, a war of interests, not the kind of war mixed with a lot of revenge factors in the original time and space, and the hatred value is naturally not so high, as long as the goal is achieved.

The petroleum industry and petrochemical industry in the plane have developed faster and earlier, and products such as automobiles, aircraft, plastics, and chemical fibers have long appeared. As the world's third and Europe's largest industrial power, Germany's demand for oil far exceeds that of the same period in the original time and space. Tragically, of the world's five blocs, the German-led Allied Powers are the most oil-starved. The little oil production in Germany, Romania and East Africa is a drop in the bucket.

The mustache was heartbroken for the problem of oil, and finally found out that there were a large number of oil fields in the North Sea at his doorstep, but he was preempted by Britain again. The most odious thing is that the shameless opium cow actually refused to let Germany share the North Sea oil fields, which is simply unbearable. And so the war broke out.

In fact, the mustache's target this time was mainly the British. As long as the opium cows give way, they will spit out the North Sea oil fields. Mustache, he is not Wei Er, he is a very rational politician, not the middle two, he really has no intention of what to do with Britain.

As for whether he will play France and Belgium first, it is entirely because of geography. The two sons of the plane and the big French rooster have no hatred, they beat the big rooster completely to occupy a good position to beat the cow, of course, whether the French hate Germany or not is another matter.

If you look at the map, you can see that the region of France and Belgium is just between Germany and Britain, and they are clubbing in the middle, so how can the mustache fight Britain? Therefore, it has become such a logical chain: "If you want to get the North Sea oil fields, you must first get Britain, and if you want to get Britain, you must first kneel to France......

Well, the fact is that France was shot from the sky this time, no way, who made their position so handsome.

Now that the Germans have taken control of Belgium and northern France, and their goal has been achieved, it is natural that they want to negotiate peace with France. The mustache is not a secondary two, and he has never thought of annexing France at all.

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

Geneva, Switzerland.

In a villa by the lake, a group of diplomats from France and Germany are engaged in heated negotiations.

The German delegates all had relaxed expressions, and German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop looked even more light-hearted. The face of the French Foreign Minister, Maurice de Jean, was quite ugly, and the other French people were the same, their faces were all blue.

“...... France needs to cede French Libya, Tunis#Niger, Niger and Benin. The German Empire was allowed to use the military bases in northern France, including airports and ports, and France wanted to facilitate the transportation of goods to the Empire, so the railways and roads in the north, as well as inland waterways, were temporarily controlled by the German Empire. This is the bottom line of our peace talks. German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop said proudly: "In exchange, we will hand over the provinces of Hainaut and Namur in southwestern Belgium to France." ”

"This is impossible! The French people will never agree to such conditions!" De Jean said angrily: "If this is the case, France will resist to the end!"

De Jean paused, then changed his words and said: "French Libya and Tunis # Nice can be handed over to you, and the Calais province can be lent to you temporarily, but not elsewhere." In addition, the provinces of Hainaut and Namur are not enough, we want the whole Walloon Region! Yes, the whole Walloon Region!"

Ribbentrop made a slight concession: "It is absolutely impossible for the whole Wallonia region to be given to you! at most the province of Luxembourg will be given to you, and Niger and Benin must also be handed over to the German Empire......"

Bai Mo, the Chinese representative to the League of Nations, had no sadness or joy on his face, and he and several colleagues sat on the side like mud bodhisattvas. At this moment, when he heard Dejan's words, he couldn't help but slander in his stomach.

With such a righteous and stern expression, but talking imperialist words, he really deserves to be a career diplomat. The big rooster himself is still being beaten by Erdezi, and in this case, he still does not forget to sell his teammates, and for his own benefit, he sits with the enemy to divide Belgium.

Bai Mo, whose name is Shushu, is the current representative of China to the League of Nations. He is the chargé d'affaires of the Mysore Autonomous State who participated in the special archaeological operation of the Padmanaba Swami Temple presided over by Sun Dianying a few years ago. Because he is good at reversing black and white, pointing to deer as horses, and not being cheeky, he became China's representative to the League of Nations last year.

The current Franco-German negotiations were brokered by him. Although he himself is also a diplomat, he is also a little admired when he sees such a shameless peer.

But seeing that the talks between the two sides were about to collapse, he couldn't sit still. He played a round on the side and said, "Everyone, please don't get excited. We are all here for peace. Anything can be discussed. ”

"Does Mr. Bai have any high opinions?" asked Ribbentrop with a smile as he looked at Bai Mo.

The Germans now have the upper hand, of course, with ease. Of course, this ease is only relative. After all, Germany now has to face, in addition to its old rivals Britain and France, there is also the Western Covenant led by the United States. Although other countries in the West, such as Mexico and Central America, are all insignificant roles in accompanying the prince to study, but the "prince" of the United States is very important. Even if the USSR helps now, the mustache is bottomless. It would be great if you could reduce one opponent.

If this time it can make peace with the French alone and let the big rooster withdraw from the war, the Entente will be considered nullified. The Germans could concentrate on dealing with the Anglo-American alliance.

When he came to the talks, Hitler declared to Ribbentrop: "I admire France! As a great power in Western Europe, France really has the need for its existence." But France must let us borrow their land, and I have no ambition for French territory, so that we may punish England! I do not demand much, as long as a part of the French colonies is handed over to Germany, to make up for the losses of Germany, and not to interfere with our freedom of action in attacking Britain, our two countries will be at peace. Why do we have to go to war with France? I don't find that need. So we must agree to make peace with France, and we can even give them the Belgian region of Wallonia, which, of course, the province of Liège cannot give. ”

That's right, the mustache took the Walloon region of Belgium as a favor, and the Flemish region in the north of course laughed at himself. The place is close to the sea, so it is easy to obtain oil from the North Sea oil fields. As for Belgium, who is that? The big hooligans discuss things, is there room for such small actors to express their opinions?

And the mustache's proposal is not a brainstorm, before 1831 even Belgium did not exist, only the Flanders region. In 843, the grandchildren of Charlemagne of the Carolingian dynasty signed the Treaty of Verdun, and the part west of the Scheldt River in Flanders belonged to France, and the part east to the Holy Roman Empire. This is also the origin of the difference between the French-speaking and German-speaking regions of Belgium today. After that, it was repeatedly reversed between the Duchy of Burgundy, France, the HRE, and Spain.

So it makes sense to say that Walloon has been French since ancient times, and the symbol of Walloon is a big red rooster. It would be impossible to say that the French had no idea about this territory, but they had not had the opportunity before. In fact, the French themselves have to blame for this, if they don't like tossing, it is estimated that even Belgium will not have it.

In the 100 years from the end of the eighteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century, the French went through three republics, three kingdoms and two empires, eight regime changes, and 11 revolutions throughout the country...... They haven't even knelt down yet, they have a thick family background, where is there time to annex Belgium.

Therefore, the condition given by the mustache is still very sincere to France, but it is not so easy for the two sides to negotiate peace. After all, the Germans still occupy other people's territory.
