"Ludwig, look at this. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In a luxurious suite at the White Crane Hotel in Geneva, Switzerland, Mrs. Colontai, who was old but still dressed very fashionably, handed a stack of photographs to the visiting Imperial Marshal Hersmann in civilian clothes.
Hersman took the photo and looked at it, it was two old men holding each other or holding hands, one of them recognized it at a glance, and it was clearly Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet Union. The other was an Oriental man, with a bare head, a mustache, upside-down eyebrows, small eyes, and a pair of round glasses with black wooden frames.
"This Japanese is Yoyo Matsuoka?" Hersman had met Matsuoka before, but that was a long time ago, and he couldn't remember what the other party looked like.
"Yes, he is the former Japanese Foreign Minister Yoyo Matsuoka, and he facilitated the "Japan-Soviet Neutrality Treaty." Mrs. Colontai replied with a smile, "This time he is visiting Moscow as a special envoy of Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo in order to seek a decent peace...... It was Japan's peace with the United States and the Soviet Union, not including Germany! ”
"But this is impossible," Hersman shook his head with a smile, "Roosevelt will not let Japan go, this is determined by the national conditions of the United States, unless the United States has lost millions of people in the war against Japan, the Americans will never forgive Japan, let alone give up half of the Pacific Ocean!" ”
Although most of America's business elites agree with the "Europe first" argument, they know that they must first clean up Germany, an enemy who can compete with the United States for white world hegemony. But those American white dicks who think they are superior don't think so, Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, occupation of Hawaii, bombing the West Coast, and sabotage of the Panama Canal are all crimes in their eyes that are no different from black brothers sleeping with their wives.
And the war in Europe, in their opinion, is a group of white fellow countrymen fighting, and it is a matter for white Europeans, whether it is British hegemony or German hegemony, and it has little to do with the United States.
If Britain (native) Germany continues to fight, the American corporate elite will still be able to guide public opinion. But now that the European struggle for hegemony has been won, and the United States clearly cannot meddle in Europe anymore, what's the point of continuing to fight? The United States, of course, should make peace with Germany as soon as possible. Then go to Japan to find a way back - the white master let the Japanese yellow race beat up so badly, it's really a shame and a big hair, how can you not retaliate?
Therefore, the public opinion in the United States is that Japan cannot be spared, and if Roosevelt dares to negotiate peace with Japan and turn around and fight Germany, then his president will be at the end and will be impeached.
But then again, the situation in Germany is similar to that of the United States. The Nazi Party, which is now in power, has a large component of racism, and decides to be close to each other on the basis of Aryan origin. Today, the mainstream of American society is still white-skinned, among which Germans, British, and Dutch Americans with strong Germanic ancestry account for a large proportion.
Therefore, the German people are not very interested in continuing to fight with the "American brothers". According to Hersmann's information, Hitler himself had secretly met with the US ambassador to Switzerland, Kennedy, and had a good conversation - Kennedy was an Irishman, because Ireland became independent from Britain with the support of Germany, so the Irish in the United States was also a little pro-German.
In addition, the two incidents of the United States aiding the Soviet Union and Germany's aid to Japan are actually the United States and Germany hurting each other. The Red Army with American aid was able to kill more German soldiers, and the Japanese with German aid were able to kill more American soldiers. This exchange was not a good thing for the Nazis, who were essentially workers' parties...... The Nazis still need German workers and peasants who are soldiers to vote for them!
If it weren't for the two warmongers Roosevelt and Hersman who were obstructing it, it is estimated that a peace treaty in which "Germany sells Japan and the United States sells the Soviet Union" has now been reached!
However, Hersmann, a warmonger, could not see the possibility of stepping down for the time being, but Roosevelt's presidency did not last long.
"Ma'am," Hersman said with a smile as he returned the photographs to Mrs. Collentay, "I have not received them, and I hope you will keep them confidential as well." Because the Japanese issue is the biggest obstacle on the road to peace between us and the United States. The other two big obstacles are probably President Roosevelt and me, because neither of us wants to miss the opportunity to attack the other country.
But President Roosevelt was an elderly leader in poor health, and he had less than two years left in his presidency. I believe that he will not have a fourth term as president, and that the person who will become president of the United States in 1945 will be a statesman who is willing to make peace with Germany. Therefore, it is better not to show these photos to Chancellor Hitler for the time being. ”
Hearing that Roosevelt had only two years left in his term, Mrs. Collentet's face changed slightly. Because he knows that public opinion in the United States has begun to change, and everyone believes that the United States should not participate in the war in Europe...... With Mrs. Collent's knowledge of the United States (she had been in the United States for many years), this matter did not have to wait until Roosevelt stepped down, as long as it was a two-party primary, it could be bad!
When the time comes, the bigwigs of both parties and the members of Congress (Congress is also elected at about the same time) will have to come out and make a statement about the war in Europe! And if the European war is like this, the politicians who are running for the election will definitely have to come up with criticism. At that time, everyone is against fighting with Germany, and even the "Lend-Lease Act" will be abolished, and Roosevelt, a sloping president, can still help the Soviet Union?
"Madam," said Hersman, with some seriousness, "you must know better than I do about the internal affairs of the United States. I don't want the Soviet Union and Germany to split up between the two countries, and if we can reach a treaty to end the war in 1943, it will be in the best interests of both the Soviet Union and Germany. If dragged until the pro-Germans in the United States came to power, then ...... My friend Olga is likely to become the Empress of Russia! You know, this queen is very popular in the United States. ”
Now there are a lot of White Russians in the United States, and there are also a lot of money-rich bigwigs who have bought knighthoods from the empress, and they have all become Russian royalists! Therefore, when it comes to the US election in '44, maybe some people will use the issue of restoring Tsarist Russia as a topic.
……
"Roosevelt asked what we needed?"
In Moscow, in the Kremlin, the fatherly leader of the Soviet people, smoking a pipe, said to the members of the Political Bureau: "What we need most is a decent peace...... What do you think, comrades? ”
Stalin was clearly not carried away by the victory of the Americans, and the offensive and defensive forces in the Pacific theater would indeed change hands.
But what good did this do for the USSR? No matter how powerful the Americans were, they could not have occupied Tokyo in 1943. Germany, however, is likely to occupy Leningrad and Moscow!
Considering that the Germans also had an all-Russian "legitimate empress" in their hands, as soon as Leningrad and Moscow fell, the USSR would perish.
Moreover, Mrs. Collentay mentioned in her telegram the "Virtue Peace" and the inevitable presidential and parliamentary elections in the United States - Comrade Stalin almost hated this bourgeois democracy that changes the president when nothing happens! How good it would be to have Roosevelt D cut, why make a substitution? And even if there is a change, everyone must listen to Roosevelt's opinion, and not replace the villain who is bent on appeasement with Germany.
However, it is difficult for the Soviet Union to interfere in the matter of the election in the United States. Stalin now had to find a way to finish the hapless war before Roosevelt went home to retire.
"Comrade General Secretary, I fully support your wise decision." Khrushchev was the first to speak, and he said with a very sad expression, "After the fall of Britain itself, we will have to face a German empire that can dominate Europe for a long time...... Since it is impossible to destroy the enemy, then we can only turn in other directions, such as India. ”
Khrushchev's speech was like a starting gun, and all the members and alternate members of the Political Bureau present at the meeting expressed their positions.
Of course, they all resolutely support Comrade Stalin!
Stalin nodded, and then turned his gaze to Marshal Pavlov and Marshal Shaposhnikov, who were present at the meeting. The two of them were present at the meeting and were not qualified to speak on their own initiative, so they could only wait for Stalin's questioning.
And Stalin's eyes are asking - decent peace cannot be negotiated by talks, it must be fought by fighting!
On the northern front, the Soviet troops had to relieve the long siege of Leningrad - the city had been surrounded for more than half a year, the reserves were about to be exhausted, and if the siege was not lifted, the Soviets with Leningrad household registration would defect to the enemy.
In the center, the Red Army's plan was to hold East Belarus and Warsaw, to ensure the security of Moscow, and at the same time to make Warsaw a condition for peace.
And on the southern front, the Dnieper defense line could not be lost. The Dnieper defense line defends left-bank Ukraine, and in the event of a breakthrough by the USSR, it is possible to lose the important Donetsk heavy industrial region.
"Comrade General Secretary," Pavlov said, "the People's Commissariat of Defense and the General Staff of the Red Army agreed that it would be possible for the Germans to maintain the Leningrad encirclement and at the same time advance towards Moscow!" ”
"The Germans intended to restore the Romanov dynasty?" Stalin asked uncertainly.
"It could also be to get the biggest chips at the negotiating table!" Marshal Shaposhnikov, Chief of the General Staff, said that "if we lose Leningrad and Moscow at the same time, there will be a terrible civil war and division ...... in the USSR"
Stalin interrupted the cautious Shalashnikov with a wave of his hand, and he smiled bitterly: "No, not a civil war and a split, but we are completely finished!" Moscow will be as ...... as Paris in March 1815"
On March 1, 1815, when Napoleon, who had escaped Elba, landed on French soil, public opinion in Paris was overwhelmingly opposed to the emperor, just as the people in Moscow were now opposed to the Russian Empress Olga.
But by the time Napoleon came to Paris as a victor, he had already gone from "the devil of Corsica" and "the monster of man-eating" to His Majesty the Emperor, whom the people of Paris loved! (To be continued.) )
