After saying this, Nagata rested his head on the back of the chair, let out a sigh of relief, and smiled wryly at Takeo Yasuda: "For these things, I don't know how many loyal and brave men of His Majesty are going to throw their corpses in foreign lands. I hope the empire The fate of the country can be completely reversed because of them..."

……

At the same time, it was in the Prime Minister's Office not far from the Army Ministry.Konoe Fumimaro and Navy Minister Eisuke Yamamoto are engaged in a rather difficult bargain with the German ambassador von Dixon.

"Mr. Ambassador, the Empire not only has two battlefields in the Americas and the Eastern Pacific, the Empire is also fighting against the British and American armies in the South Pacific. There is also a need to consume supplies there..." Konoe Fumimaro said slowly, looking at Dixon.

The Germans had indeed agreed to provide Japan with the technology to make the atomic bomb, but they were still very stingy in other respects.Especially in terms of providing military supplies to Japan, the Germans have brought their rigor to an unbearable level--Ambassador Von Dixon actually proposed that all supplies to Japan must be carried out under the supervision of the German Quartermaster use!Moreover, these materials can only be used in the American and Eastern Pacific battlefields, and cannot be diverted to the South Pacific or other battlefields!

"The war in the South Pacific has nothing to do with the German Empire, and Germany does not intend to interfere." Von Dixon replied firmly.On this issue, he has no room for any concessions, because Hitler has already given instructions on this!Dixon knew that it was because the head of state did not want to offend China too much. After all, providing Japan with atomic bomb technology has made China, an important ally of Germany, very unhappy!

Although there seems to be no outbreak in China right now, who knows what kind of revenge these duplicity Easterners are thinking about?

"Mr. Ambassador, can the quartermaster sent by your country..." Minister of the Navy Hidesuke Yamamoto looked at Dixon eagerly, but he didn't know what to say when he reached his mouth.

"Your Excellency, most of the aid materials provided by Germany to Japan will be transported through the railway lines in East Siberia, China." Dixon glanced at Yamamoto, frowned, and reminded: "If the Chinese close the railway lines , even Germany can't do anything!"

"But we are allies with China! How could they be like this? How can there be such an ally in the world?" Hearing what the German ambassador said, Fumimaro Konoe couldn't help complaining.

A helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of Von Dixon's mouth.So what if the wise and wise head of state saw through Roosevelt's tricks?Isn't the tripartite alliance between China, Germany and Japan on the verge of breaking up?After all, there is still a common goal between China and Germany at present-Britain and France.But what about after defeating Britain and France?Can China and Germany work together to deal with the United States?Ambassador Dixon has no confidence in this!Because, he knows, the conflict between China and Germany is not limited to Japan.Another huge hidden danger has already been formed, but neither China nor Germany pretended to see it.

Thinking of this, Dixon sighed softly, and said to Konoe Fumimaro: "Mr. Prime Minister, Germany has indeed fulfilled all its obligations as an ally. As for the supplies for the South Pacific war, As far as I know, your country has iron mines, coal mines, and copper mines in North Korea, and oil fields in Sakhalin Island... these should be able to handle one or two of them, right?" His voice suddenly became more serious as he spoke, "If your country still cannot agree, Then this negotiation is probably about to break down...how about your country test Roosevelt's sincerity? See if the Americans will really give Japan the atomic bomb."

Chapter 0840 Sunset of the Old Empire ([-]) Robbers from China

April 1939, 4, Petersburg, Smolnier Palace.

"My head of state, do you still have the habit of living in this Smolnier Palace? A part of it was set on fire by the Bolsheviks during the war, and it was just renovated a few days ago. You are the first VIP to stay here! It's just Russia This season is really a bit cold, not the best season, if you can come a month later, it will be refreshing."

The speaker was Prince Kerensky, Prime Minister of the Russian Empire.The 60-year-old Russian politician looks very thin, and his goatee is also graying. It is obvious that being the prime minister of the Russian Empire is not an easy job.What's more, the current Russia is no longer the powerful empire that dominates the Eurasian continent, but a "buffer country" sandwiched between the two major imperialist countries, China and Germany.Having practiced imperialism for hundreds of years, it is a bit unaccustomed to suddenly become a weak country with its tail between its legs...

It's just that no matter how unaccustomed he was, Kerensky didn't dare to show even a little demeanor of a great country's prime minister in front of Hitler.It's completely flattering.However, he couldn't stop complaining about the great Empress Anastasia in his heart.Because it was the empress who invited Hitler and Luo Yaoguo to Petersburg for the "Continental Congress". It is said that the empress wanted to help China and Germany repair the rift caused by the "Japanese nuclear incident".

What a meddling queen!Kerensky glanced at the blond and handsome Prince Ludwig next to Hitler out of the corner of his eye.He sighed in his heart: "I am afraid that you, Your Majesty, are the biggest conflict between China and Germany?"

"Well, this Smolnier Palace is very nice. I feel very honored to live here." Probably because the German Army finally came up with a plan to destroy France, and this plan is quite to Hitler's appetite!So the head of state seems to be in a good mood.Walking around in the luxurious hall of Smolnier Palace with hands behind their backs, admiring the oil paintings hanging on the walls.

"By the way, my old friend Marshal Luo Yaoguo has arrived in Petersburg today. Where does he live now?" Hitler asked seemingly carelessly.

Kerensky's heart skipped a beat.Hesitatingly said: "Marshal Luo Yaoguo...he arrived in Petersburg yesterday afternoon, and he is now collapsing in the Winter Palace."

Regarding the relationship between Grand Marshal Ello and Anastasia I, where else could he live in Petersburg if he didn’t live in the Winter Palace?And the two of them live in the same room and sleep on the same bed!And it is the bed that only the Russian tsars and queens of the past dynasties can sleep on.Hearing this news, Prince Ludwig next to Hitler had a gloomy look on his face, but he soon returned to normal.

"Oh, it's the Winter Palace... Got it." Hitler frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Mr. Prime Minister, please tell Her Majesty the Queen, and ask her to arrange for me to have dinner with Marshal Luo Yaoguo."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Kerensky bowed slightly to Hitler, turned and left, his back was a little bleak, and slowly disappeared outside the hall door.

"Ludwig, you go back to Berlin right away. I forgot a very important document. Go to Mrs. Schroeder and she will tell you what it is." Hitler suddenly turned to the handsome young man. said the prince.The Prince of Württemberg originally held a modest position in the SS, but had only recently been transferred to Hitler's side as an adjutant.

"Obey, my Führer!" Ludwig gave Hitler a military salute, turned and left.

"Führer, do you really want Prince Ludwig to return to Berlin?" As soon as Ludwig left, Hitler's foreign minister, Ribbentrop, came up and whispered in Hitler's ear: "The prince is a very good man. Germanic youths, no matter in appearance, knowledge, style of conversation or origin, are excellent candidates.”

"It's a pity that the Russian Empress is no longer a 17 or 8-year-old girl." Hitler said softly, his voice was so low that only he could hear it. "Everything this bitch is doing now is just for power! In order to seize power and keep power, she will do anything. And now the war in Western Europe is about to start, not to tear face with Luo Yaoguo when……"

……

At this moment, Luo Yaoguo was talking with An Sihua, Wan Yanhao and Wu Tuohao, and the place was in the small reception room dedicated to the Russian Empress in the Winter Palace.After a period of stagnation, the war in Europe now seems to be on the verge of breaking out.Due to the dispatch of a powerful armored army, China is naturally one of the main participants in the upcoming Western European war.The meeting between Luo Yaoguo and Hitler in Petersburg was actually to coordinate the actions of the two countries in the upcoming Western European War.This is also the most important reason why Luo Yaoguo instructed Anastasia to invite Hitler to Petersburg.

As for repairing Sino-German relations... After defeating Britain and France, Sino-German relations may be difficult to repair!Besides, how can two world-wide empires become close friends?This is like the Soviet Union and the United States in later generations, or the relationship between the United States, China, and Russia after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.There is always more competition than cooperation. If nuclear weapons are not too destructive, I am afraid that there will be N times of world wars!

Moreover, the war has reached this point, and it is time for Luo Yaoguo to worry about the post-war situation.As in the past, our Marshal Luo's original layout has some minor problems.It seems that plans are always out of date.

The United States, which was originally thought to be the strongest in the new post-war order, is now being bullied by the "weak" Japan!Hawaii was lost, the Pacific Fleet was crippled, and now they are still hiding in San Diego and dare not go out. In the end, they didn't even keep the Panama Canal.What is even more surprising is that at the end of last month, a Central American federation formed by six countries including Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, supported by Japan and Germany behind the scenes.And the first thing after the opening of the Central American Federation was to issue an order to evict the American army entrenched in the San Lorenzo Fortress on the east bank of the Panama Canal!At the same time, it also announced the recovery of the Panama Canal Zone and the confiscation of all US investments in the Central American Federation.In short, it is clear that it is going against the United States.And last night, this country, which had just established the United States a few days ago, publicly declared war on the United States.

As for the countries in South America that had been cut off from land contact with the United States by the Central American Federation, during this period of time there was an atmosphere on the eve of the "Black Revolution". Fascist political parties in various countries appeared one after another, all holding high the banner of anti-Americanism.Although the usurpation of power by force has not yet begun, the ruling authorities of those South American countries have been frightened to pretend to be "anti-American elements".

Such a US imperialist who has lost the Hawaiian Islands, almost lost the backyard of Latin America, and was hit by a Japanese suicide plane, does not look like the chief of the post-war three powerhouses!It seems that the German Empire, which ruled more than half of Europe, the whole of Africa, and has a large number of followers in the Middle East and South America, is the real post-war boss.

As for China, after all, its foundation is too weak. Although it has been thriving for more than ten years, it has maintained a little family business and laid down a large territory.But if you want to use this to fight against an old industrial empire like Germany, I'm afraid it's still wishful thinking!Besides, although the land seized by China is rich in resources, almost all of them are undeveloped land.Without decades of construction, it will not become a developed area at all.But the land conquered by Germany was the birthplace of industrial civilization...

Therefore, the future structure is likely to be that Germany is the strongest, China is second, the United States is third, and the second child will always be the most difficult!

As soon as these problems were mentioned, the four people in this room felt a burst of brain pain!Discussed for a long time, also did not come to any conclusion.

"Brother Sihua, is the British sending troops to Western Europe over?" Luo Yaoguo leaned back on the sofa, looked at An Sihua opposite him, and changed the topic back to the upcoming Western European War.

"Supplementary text, at this stage, the large-scale increase of British troops to the Western European continent has come to an end. There is a British Expeditionary Force Command in France. The original British Chief of Staff, General Verwick, has just been appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force. This The British Expeditionary Force is under the jurisdiction of the British First, Second and Third Armed Forces, and the First Armored Army. However, the British military structure is different from ours, and the troops under its jurisdiction are uncertain. According to the current situation, the four British armies have a total of There are 60 motorized infantry divisions and two armored divisions, plus some independent troops, the total strength is about 1200! It has more than 2 tanks, about half of which are Matilda 20. In addition, the United Kingdom is still sending About 10 fighter squadrons and [-] bomber squadrons went to France. These fighter squadrons are equipped with the most advanced British Hurricane fighter jets, and the bomber squadrons are mainly Blenheim bombers. It seems that there are no dive bombers..."

Luo Yaoguo said in a low voice: "Why are there only 60 people? And there are only two armored divisions... Didn't they say there were four?" He turned to look at Wan Yanhao who was thinking, "Wen Qiang, the European intelligence system is You are presiding, do you know where the rest of the British are?"

Wan Yanhao seemed to be still thinking about the future position of China and Germany. He was awakened by Luo Yaoguo's words. After pondering for a while, he slowly said: "One of the other two British armored divisions went to the Middle East and was under the command of the Eighth Army. One of them went to Australia, and he just left France at the end of last month. Prime Minister Daladier has protested a lot. As for the British Army...there are about 8 in the mainland, and more than 60 in the Middle East Military Region. Australia and New Zealand The military region has increased to nearly 50, and Ceylon has a group army of about 70. India now has more than 100 million British and Indian troops. Although the combat effectiveness is not strong, the number is still increasing."

Luo Yaoguo nodded with a wry smile, "Then it seems that the British Empire has also used the main force to deal with us!"

Wan Yanhao raised his face and thought for a while, but finally shook his head. "It can't be said that the British Expeditionary Force and the local army have more than 130 million elites, while the Middle East Army and the Australian and New Zealand Army can only be regarded as mediocre. The British and Indian troops are basically scum, even the Gurkha mercenaries among them It's not that powerful, not even the Soviet Red Army..."

"Is the Soviet Red Army weak?" Luo Yaoguo interrupted him, "The Soviet Red Army was defeated in terms of weaponry and politics. The combat effectiveness of their Red Army officers and soldiers is not weak. If the combat effectiveness of the British and French armies is stronger than theirs, then this battle Maybe there really are variables." He said, looking at An Sihua and Wu Tuohao again. "Sihua, Mouxian, what do you think? Will the Germans suffer from the French and the British this time?"

An Sihua frowned, and looked at Wu Tuohao, An Sihua said: "I personally think that Germany may experience some setbacks, but the final victory must belong to Germany. So we should consider how to deal with it now." A problem with a strong Germany... Although our population, land, and resources are superior, the gap in the industrial base is still too large. Without ten or 20 years of catching up, I am afraid that we will not be an opponent of Germany at all. Unless we use Germany……"

Speaking of this, An Sihua showed a painful expression on his face. He wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Luo Yaoguo shaking his head lightly. Luo Yaoguo looked up at the portrait of Queen Anastasia on the wall, and the corner of his mouth appeared Let out a sneer.

"No! In the future we will have ways to restrain Germany. I believe that although competition and confrontation between China and Germany are inevitable in the future, the possibility of war is almost zero. Therefore, in this battle, we still have to do our best to assist Hitler in fighting the war." Win. After all...France and Britain still owe us a lot of old debts to China, let’s clear them all this time! I heard that after the First World War, the amount of indemnity imposed on Germany by the Allied Powers was 2690 billion gold marks!"

Speaking of this, Luo Yaoguo showed a look of wide-eyed expression on his face, and he laughed:

"After we defeated Britain and France, why should they pay tens of billions of dollars? There is also the Palace of Versailles, the British Museum, etc...Wen Qiang, you have to investigate how many good things are worth grabbing! By the way, the Netherlands There are many old-fashioned banks in China, Belgium, and France, and you have to investigate them for me!"

"Mouxian, the task of robbing things will be entrusted to you! Uh, set up a team dedicated to robbing things. You must choose honest and reliable comrades to rob. The things you rob must be returned to the public, and embezzlement is strictly prohibited. Do you understand? .By the way, don't do murder, arson, and robbing women after you rob, we're just asking for money..."

Looking at Luo Yaoguo's current state, it seems that he is ready to fight for a vote. How can he have the demeanor of a leader of a big country?It's the king of the mountain!Of course, Wan Yanhao and Wu Tuohao, the two confidantes of the Whampoa Department, also looked eager to try, and they all patted their chests to promise to complete the robbery mission.

Only An Sihua, who was of half Germanic blood, seemed to have a conscience, with a troubled look on his face.

"Fuwen, this is not good, the honor of our National Defense Forces..."

"What's wrong?" Luo Yaoguo rarely lowered his face in front of An Sihua, he glanced coldly at General An, his eyes were like icy blades, even An Sihua felt a chill down his spine.But this feeling passed quickly, Luo Yaoguo still smiled gently, as if to comfort himself, the number one confidant.

He smiled and said: "Sihua, we have sent 10,000+ troops to Europe all the way, and they are all the most elite armored forces... If we return empty-handed, how can we explain to the people? We can tell the people, you Did your children die fighting for the German world empire? Can it be said that the wealth created by your hard work was spent in a battle that had nothing to do with our country? If we say that If so, how many citizens will support us? Therefore, we must take advantage of the battle in Western Europe! Only in this way can we explain to the people.”

"Mr. An, the assistant commander is right. The common people have worked so hard for so many years to support our national defense army, isn't it just for this opportunity!"

"That's right! Didn't most of the wealth accumulated in Western Europe come from the colonial people? We just took away the ill-gotten wealth and used it in places that are useful to the country and the nation."

Luo Yaoguo's two good students also kept persuading them. Both of them were righteous and serious, and they said that the robbery in Europe was a great thing for the country and the people.Although An Sihua didn't agree with this fallacy, fortunately, he was not a particularly righteous master.I don't know where the little bit of conscience I had just now has gone to.

He frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Our First Panzer Army is estimated to be arranged to fight the Netherlands and Belgium on the northern front, and Paris may miss it...or else, I will go and talk to Guderian Said, let him come forward and ask an armored army to go to the middle, so that this armored army will have a chance to go straight to Paris!
