"Mr. President, Mr. President......" Hopkins, who is currently living in the White House, knocked on the door of Roosevelt's bedroom before dawn, waking up the sleeping president. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Harry, you know what?" Roosevelt, who got dressed with the help of McDuffy, a black maid, and when he appeared in front of Hopkins in a wheelchair, said in a half-joking tone, "You just disturbed the dream of the president of the United States...... It was a dream, in which American planes filled the skies of Europe, bombing the German mainland into ruins, and American troops landed in France and then attacked German territory from two directions with the Soviets, while the German leader Hitler was helpless. Just like Churchill in reality! ”

"President, how happened to Hersman in your dream?" Hopkins smiled and asked, "Hitler didn't care much about the military, and Hersmann was our worst enemy." ”

Hersman...... There is no such person in my dreams. President Roosevelt smiled and said, "It's just a dream." By the way, Harry, what are you looking for me? ”

"The King of England accepted the invitation." "He's going to leave as soon as possible, first to Iceland and then to the United States," Hopkins said. ”

"Great," Roosevelt laughed, "I knew Churchill wouldn't say no...... Now he has to slap the United States! ”

"It is now up to the King of England," Hopkins pondered, "that if he is willing to cooperate with us, England itself will become a sad place for Germany." ”

"Of course he'll work with us!" Roosevelt said, "These monarchs have always valued the crown above all else." If George VI wants to secure the throne of Canada, he must have my support. With my support, does he still need Churchill? ”

"Of course not," Hopkins said with a laugh, "it is the 46 million British people who really need Churchill right now." ”

"Yes, we cannot let the British people get rid of this brave and determined Prime Minister." Roosevelt smiled and asked, "By the way, is Ambassador Kennedy already on his way to the White House?" ”

"President, I called him." Hopkins replied.

Roosevelt nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to have breakfast with him, and by the way, we can discuss whether the United States can reach a decent and favorable peace treaty with Germany." ”

"Bei...... Comrade Beria, please, please come in. ”

In an apartment near Arbat Street in Moscow, where only ministerial-level officials live, Hesmann's old friend Mrs. Kollontai was talking to the visiting Beria with a forced composure.

This "Lady with a Cup of Water" has been ready to be arrested at any time since a long, long time ago...... Because there are so many reasons to catch her.

She was a former Menshevik and in 1922 was part of the workers' opposition (Trotskyists) in the party, and Stalin was in charge of investigating Korentai's crimes long before Lenin's death. In 1923, she got into a lot of trouble because she wrote an "H novel", and was not only criticized but also ordered to close her pen.

During the Great Purge, one of her ex-husbands and several lovers were found to be anti-glossing and lost their lives. As for those who worked with her in her early years, few survived the era of the Great Purge, and even Lenin's wife, Krupskaya, died in February 1939 after eating a cream cake from Stalin.

But Madame Colontai seemed to have received a special favor from Stalin, perhaps Stalin had a crush on this beautiful woman in his early years, and was able to escape the catastrophe of the revolution again and again. Even after returning from Nazi Germany (where she was ambassador to Germany), she was not arrested on charges of espionage or anything else.

So now, Colontai didn't seem too scared, she thought to herself: Beria's visit today is probably not here to arrest anyone.

"Comrade Kollontai, the general secretary sent me to talk to you." Beria really didn't come to arrest Koluntai - this woman was not of enough rank for Beria to arrest herself.

After taking down in Madame Kollontai's drawing-room, Beria sent out the door with all his entourage and Korentai's maids, and said to her: "Do you know why the General Secretary intends to appoint you ambassador to Switzerland?" ”

"Appoint me as ambassador to Switzerland?" How could Madame Colontai not understand the meaning? Why has she been an old revolutionary for many years, and she hasn't seen anything?

"We want to make peace with Germany?" Colontai asked.

Beria nodded lightly and said, "The situation of the world revolution is very serious...... We have to be strategic. ”

"Conditions?" Colontai asked.

She knew that since Beria had come to talk to her, it must be a secret to talk about peace - or else it would have been People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov who would have told her about it!

Moreover, Stalin would certainly not have told himself about it. Otherwise, Beria would not have come.

"No reparations, no land cession, the border is restored to its pre-war status, and India is included in the Soviet sphere of influence." "At the same time, the German-American-Soviet Treaty of Guarantee was signed to maintain balance in the post-war world." ”

"This ...... Unlikely, right? Colentey frowned. The current situation seems to be very favorable to Germany, needless to say on the Soviet-German battlefield, now even Britain is almost unable to bear it. In order to support the British convoy, the United States was almost completely wiped out by the European Combined Fleet and German planes.

Under these circumstances, even if the Germans did not cede the land of the Soviet Union, there was no reason for India to be ceded to the Soviet Union.

Moreover, the "Treaty of Guarantees of Germany, the United States, and the Soviet Union" was obviously unfavorable to Germany, because the United States and the Soviet Union were now allies, and most of them would join forces against Germany in the future.

"There are certain difficulties," Beria smiled, "but that's the bottom line we can accept...... Maybe there is still a bargain on the Indian issue, we can make half. But something had to be gained, so that the Soviet state could end the war as a victor. ”

Kollontai understood that it was very important for Stalin to be the winner! Because the victor is not condemned. As long as he could eat half of India without losing land on the Western Front, then Stalin would be a victor in expanding the territory of GCISM.

But how could the Germans accept such a peace?

Seeing that Korentai was a little worried and hesitant, Beria said: "Comrade Korentai, diplomacy is always based on strength!" Although the Germans had a temporary advantage on the battlefield, the combined strength of the Soviet Union and the United States far exceeded that of Germany. If a long world war were to be fought, the Soviet Union and the United States would inevitably win the final victory. ”

……

"How long will it take to take full control of the island of Ireland?"

In the building of the Ministry of Defense at 73 Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin, Adolf. Hitler stood with his arms crossed in front of a huge sand table, next to a group of jubilant German generals, including the Minister of Defense, Reichsmann Hersmann.

Hearing Hitler's question, Hersmann immediately replied: "The rest of the island of Ireland, except near Belfast, will be under our complete control in a few days." Now the British have given up resistance in most areas and are retreating towards Belfast. ”

In fact, the British army did not put a few divisions on the central line of Ireland - after the N21 flotilla had "20% success" in its transport mission, the British high command knew that it could not hold it. Therefore, the deployment was immediately adjusted, and the forces were reduced around Belfast.

"Will there be a Warsaw-style bloody battle in Belfast?" Hitler was suddenly a little worried again.

The British have hundreds of thousands of troops in Ireland, and it will be difficult to fight them all around Belfast. It would be a pity that the Germans would have to suffer two or three hundred thousand casualties in Belfast - after all, victory was in sight now, and there was no need to die so many blonde and blue-eyed German supermen.

"No, it won't." Hersman shook his head and smiled, "Why are we fighting Belfast?" We don't want it there. Once we have squeezed the British forces around Belfast, we will have taken most of the northern part of the island of Ireland. With the north of Ireland as a base, our navy and air force would essentially be able to besiege the British mainland, and in fact Britain might soon sue for peace. ”

"Summation?" Hitler asked, "Reliable news?" ”

"It's public information," Hersman said, "that the President of the United States sent an invitation to the King of England yesterday." Roosevelt wanted to discuss with George VI about the World War against the Nazis. ”

"Hahaha, this lame president can really give people steps." Hitler burst out laughing.

His joy was not unreasonable, and Roosevelt's invitation to George VI was apparently to give the English king a reason to escape.

Ireland is lost (basically lost), the king is gone, and Britain is still a fart? Who had to endure to die for a king who had abandoned his country and fled?

Moreover, Germany was quite magnanimous as the victor, and did not intend to punish the British severely.

"Then we should also consider making peace with Her Royal Highness Elizabeth, the regent of the United Kingdom." Hitler smiled and said, "We can ask the Queen of the Netherlands to come forward, and maybe let Princess Juliana (Dutch ****) go to London with Prince Friedrich." ”

"I think Princess Juliana would be happy to make a trip." Hersman said.

"The British Empire can continue to possess India," Hitler said, "and we don't need to liberate India, Princess Elizabeth should be the Empress of India, and Prince Friedrich will be the Emperor of India." ”

Hitler suddenly lowered his tone: "Another...... Japan can no longer attack Australia and New Zealand, because it is also the territory of the British Empire, and we have an obligation to help Britain keep this land, and we cannot allow the yellow-skinned Japanese to get their hands on it!
