Chapter 1538: Showdown 2
readx;?“ The Balkans are not suitable for your armored forces, where the role of infantry will be greater, and it will be difficult for your country's large corps to be used in narrow terrain, and in the Mediterranean, we have a powerful fleet! In doing so, China will pay a greater price, and Germany will be able to usher in a better future in cooperation with your country, not confrontation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoYawen_Bar_w W-Since you are already sitting at the negotiating table, why do you still threaten to use military means? Ribbentrop said calmly.
"The stick is in hand, and the words are in the mouth. The former is the basis for us to sit together and negotiate, and we cannot avoid this premise when discussing any issue, and I hope that you can face up to the situation and position of the two sides, we are not equal, and some issues cannot be discussed. We can discuss how to deal with the Anglo-American challenge in the future, how to suppress Germany, how to minimize your country's losses on the Eastern Front, but on the two issues of Italy and Austria-Hungary, there are only two options, agree and disagree, and the latter means a breakdown of negotiations! ”
"What's more, there are already a lot of problems in Germany, the Poles and the Slavs are playing their own small calculations, and it is not a good choice for your country to abandon some places where the national problems are more serious and some things that are beyond the reach of the whip, and your country's sphere of influence should withdraw from the Balkans, which is the area where the national problems of Europe are concentrated, and is the powder keg of Europe, except for the part that the Kingdom of Italy deserves, we should fully respect the wishes of the local people, It would obviously be better to let them solve their own problems on their own. The representative of Huaxia once again emphasized, and hinted at the Germans, the third condition of Huaxia!
This statement is inherently contradictory. National self-determination and the transfer of parts of the region to external countries are themselves conflicting! Ribbentrop said, seizing on a loophole.
"Then you can only choose the territory of Austria-Hungary in Central Europe! The choice is yours. At the expense of the Balkans or at the expense of the Germanic peoples? Mei Ruxuan asked rhetorically. >> Yawen__w·w'w'.-y-a-w·e·n=8=.=c=o=m
Negotiations were based on strength, and there was no point in simply talking about it, so while the negotiations were in secret, the battle between Huaxia and Germany continued, and with the surrender of Turkey, Huaxia's air force began to enter various airfields in Turkey, and the infrastructure of Turkey, which existed as a base for the advance of the Central Powers, was still very good, although some of the airfields under their control were destroyed to a certain extent when the Germans withdrew. But Turkey still has a large number of airports and infrastructure at its disposal. And when the Luftwaffe suffered heavy losses on the eastern front and faced the strategic bombing of the United States and Britain on the mainland, the troops they could transfer to the Mediterranean and the Balkans were really limited!
The most affected was the German Navy, which was thought to be back in the Mediterranean. Raeder, who was able to live in peace for a while, suddenly found that he was not even safe in his own home! The base groups in Crete and Greece are directly within the strike range of the Chinese Air Force, and they are too close to the Turkish mainland! The Germans have even a very small home advantage, and the scale of attacks every day is neither big nor small. Under the condition that the main force of the Luftwaffe was weak, the remaining 6 base aviation forces of the German Navy were quickly depleted, and even the carrier-based aircraft units participated in defensive operations. The exchange ratio between the two sides is okay, but the Germans can't afford to consume the energy consumption of Huaxia!
And Xu Jie feels that the pressure brought to the Germans is not enough! When the three armies of the United States, Britain and Russia on the Eastern Front were scarred and hesitated to fail to achieve their strategic goals, China's assistance came again! A large amount of surplus materials that were used in the Middle East battlefield and were inconvenient to transport back were sent to the Eastern Front through the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, and the US-British-Russian coalition forces, which had lost a large number of weapons and were worried that they had not been replenished, were immediately returned! Compared with the loss of equipment, the personnel losses of the American and British troops were not too large, and a lot of the equipment was thrown away, and most of the people came back. And just after the Battle of the Balcony, the Germans did not have a way to replenish a large number of equipment in a short time! The military power gap between the two sides on the Eastern Front was rebalanced after adding the chip of Huaxia!
The Germans were negotiating with Huaxia. _ Yawen Bar w·w·w-.-y·a·w'e'n=8=.-c-o·m'The United States and Britain are also in contact with China. There are many things that are not secret, the United States and Britain know a little about the preparations for peace talks between China and Germany, and Roosevelt even realized what China really thought, and he had to admit that in this war, China was the biggest winner, not only controlling almost the whole of Asia, but also driving several nails in Europe! The United States cannot be said to have gained nothing, at least the United States and Britain have gained a relatively powerful ally - Russia! At the same time, it weakened the Allies for Germany! The defeat of Turkey and Austria-Hungary was a matter of time, and Germany was alone in the future of Europe.
There are two real losers. One is Germany, which, needless to say, has gone from being a world-class power to a regional power, with most of the country's vitality depleted and almost all of its allies. And the other loser is Britain, in Roosevelt's view, the British have exhausted the accumulation of hundreds of years but become other countries, with the weakening of national strength and the awakening of national consciousness, the British colonial system will also collapse, and Britain that has lost its colonies can still be called an empire?
But even if the big picture has been lost. The Americans were still unwilling to give up the last chance, and at the last moment, the Americans obtained a large amount of military supplies from China at the cost of non-intervention in the Balkans and Hungary and expressed their willingness to repay the foreign debt owed to China on behalf of Russia. Roosevelt's idea now is very simple, to restore Russia's territory in Eastern Europe as much as possible, as much as he can get, and at the same time try to support a pro-British and American French government!
And this condition of the Americans is also very tempting for China, after the war, Hungary should not become an ally of Germany, but should stand on the side of China, together with Italy as China's double anchor in Europe! After the United States promised not to interfere in the internal affairs of Hungary after the war, Germany, which had lost a lot of blood after the war, was naturally unable to support a pro-German Hungarian government, which was equivalent to handing over Hungary to China! And Huaxia should naturally return the favor by handing over one-third of Ukraine to Russia, so that both Ukraine and Germany will be jealous of Russia!
"By the eve of the end of the 2nd World War, the line between the enemy and the allies was very blurred, everyone did not have a common goal, they were all acting in their own interests. It is a pity for the United States of America that Germany cannot be completely destroyed and control the whole of Europe, and there are even people in China who suggest that the United States should make peace with Germany early and then let Germany side with us, but it is a pity that the United States cannot give up Russia and Great Britain, and among the old allies of the Central Powers and the Entente, we chose the latter. "Generally speaking, the value of Britain, France and Russia is still greater than that of the Germans, and it is impossible for the three to coexist with Germany, and it is obviously very difficult for China to win over the Entente, so China chose Germany, and in the same way, the United States will also choose Britain, France and Russia, which are originally allies, instead of Germany. Almost everyone realizes that the war is coming to an end!
This operation can be seen as the last cooperation between China and the United States and Britain, and both sides achieved their goals, the United States and Britain obtained the various equipment they needed, regained their military superiority on the Eastern Front, and after several months of recuperation, the United States, Britain and Russia again launched a limited offensive of scale, advancing the front by 5o to 12o kilometers. In the face of pressure on the Eastern Front and various contradictions within the empire, the Germans finally accepted the demands of China in principle, and the German army and Austrian troops began to withdraw from the Balkans. And the German fleet also left the Greek-Cretan base, which had been operating for more than twenty years, and went to the Austro-Hungarian coastal ports in the Adriatic Sea. With the departure of the German fleet, the Allies had few formed forces in the Balkans.
And in response, Huaxia's air power also stopped striking at the ships of the Central Powers in the Mediterranean, and an army composed of exiled Italian troops passed through the Suez Canal with the help of Huaxia, and after a few years, the already aged Marshal Tycho finally set foot on Italian territory again, looking at Sicily, which was a little wrong, and the old marshal left two lines of cloudy tears. He finally fulfilled his promise, he returned to his homeland, the Germans were driven out, and Italy ushered in a new era.
And just before Tycho returned home, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had finally come to its end! The once European power eventually split into two parts, with Austria and Hungary founded. The division between the two sides was divided almost along the lines of the original demarcation between the two countries, but in order to compensate Italy, Austria lost part of its territory close to eastern Italy and part of the Balkans. The original Austro-Hungarian Emperor Ferdinand also failed to continue to be Emperor of Austria and was forced to go into the wilderness. He was succeeded to the throne by his son. At this point, Germany and China had completed everything stipulated in the agreement, and when Tycho gradually took control of Italy, China and Germany achieved a general ceasefire.
And the peace between China and Germany did not make the United States, Britain and Russia immediately give up the war against Germany, they also tried to get more benefits from the collapse of the Allies, but with the eastward transfer of German forces again, the Germans successfully contained the attack of the three alliances, if the United States and Britain still want to continue to fight, then what awaits them is probably a rather long war!
The French still seem to be obsessed with Alsace and Lorraine, which were lost in the Franco-Prussian War, but Xu Jie has no intention of being this good man. China not only wants to keep Germany and Britain, the United States and Russia in constant confrontation, but also to prevent the Franco-German reconciliation, the European Union in later generations will bring some trouble to the Americans, and it will also do more harm than good to China in this plane, Europe? It's better to keep them against each other forever!
