Immediately after the dinner with Chang Ruiqing, Hitler asked German Foreign Minister Rathenau to hang up the phone with the US delegation at the Kaiserhof Hotel to inform the other side of Germany's latest position on the issue of the issuance of a "world currency."

"Mr. President," Putting down the telephone receiver, US Secretary of State Hull said to Roosevelt with a solemn face: "On the question of world currency, Hitler changed his original position and was ready to adopt land as the basis of issuance as well as gross national product. ”

"What?" Roosevelt was stunned for a moment: "How is this possible?" How much territory did the Germans have? If land is used as the basis for the issuance of world currency, China and Britain will only benefit! ”

"Mr. Rathenau reminded me on the phone that Antarctica is also German territory!" Hull couldn't help but laugh.

"Nonsense! It's complete nonsense! Who admits that Antarctica is German? ”

"Chinese Premier Chang Ruiqing seems to have admitted."

"This bastard!" Roosevelt gritted his teeth, the method of using land + GDP as the basis for the issuance of world currency will definitely be supported by Britain, so that three of the four hooligans have already reached an agreement, what else can the United States do? I can only pinch my nose and accept it! But in this way, the United States, which has the smallest territory among the four powers, will definitely become the biggest loser in the world's currency issuance!

"Mr. President, we cannot accept such a plan!" Hull built yì road. Roosevelt set his sights on Hopkins. Hopkins thought for a moment and said: "If China, Britain and Germany are both determined to issue world currencies, then it will be useless for us not to participate, and this will only allow American goods and capital to withdraw from the vast Asian and European markets, and the big companies and people in China will never agree." ”

Mrs. Roosevelt also accompanied Roosevelt on his visit to Germany, and she poured a glass of water and handed it to Roosevelt. Gave him a few more pills, Roosevelt and Qing Shui swallowed the pills and nodded: "Harry is right, the United States needs the world market, and now that our military strength is not superior, we can only bear some economic losses...... It is not too much to use gross national product and land as the basis for issuing a world currency, at least not to take into account the demographic factor. The President of the United States tilted his head and thought: "But our concessions are not unconditional, and there must be a breakthrough on the issue of freedom of trade and investment!" Europe and Asia must open their markets to the United States, and this is key to my next presidency. ”

Mrs. Roosevelt sat down next to Roosevelt and heard her husband's words. She thought for a moment and asked, "Darling, what if that Chinese premier refuses to budge on the issue of trade freedom and investment freedom?" Is there any way we can persecute him? ”

Roosevelt thought about it and felt as if he had no choice, and with Chang Ruiqing's cunning and cunning, it was entirely possible for him to use China's vast market and abundant resources to make some deal with Hitler, and as long as Hitler was on his side, the United States and Britain would have no choice.

Hopkins then chimed in: "For us. The Asian market is the most important, including not only the Greater Chinese Federation, but also the East Indies, Pakistan, and the Arab Empire, all three of which now have China as their leader. Therefore, if we want to enter the Asian market, we must reach a compromise with the Chinese premier, and I would like to suggest that Mr. President go directly to negotiate with Chang Ruiqing and put forward a demand for opening the market to him, instead of co-opting Britain and Germany to exert pressure on China. ”

"There's no way Chang Ruiqing could agree to open the market," Hull said, shaking his head. "Since he took power, the Chang Ruiqing authorities have always been strict and protectionist in trade, and since he took power, he has begun to protect the market with high tariffs and foreign exchange controls, and later used the State Development Planning Commission to erect obstacles for our investors to enter the Chinese market."

The room fell silent for a moment, and Hull's words cast a shadow on everyone's hearts, trade protection is the consistent position of the Chinese government, when they are weak enough to confront the great powers, they try to protect their vast market to support their own industries. And now they are among the three great powers of the world. How can you open the door to your own market?

"Mr. President, I have a slightly different view," Hopkins thought for a long time, looked up at Roosevelt and said, "I think Chang Ruiqing is likely to take the initiative to prepare for the opening of the Chinese market, when he implemented the trade protection policy to support the weak domestic industry, but relying on protection will never develop truly competitive industries and companies, he knows this very well, so I think Chang Ruiqing is likely to open the market after the war." Let China's national industry and commerce truly experience the test of market economy. Recently, rumors have circulated in China that the State Planning Commission will be abolished, and the Chinese have not formulated a fourth five-year plan. ”

As soon as Hopkins reminded them, everyone felt that Roosevelt and others still had a good understanding of the Chinese government's "five-year plan". Since 1921, the Chinese government has formulated three five-year plans in succession, using the government's financial and material resources to promote the development of China's heavy industry. The third five-year plan was the period 1936. However, no news came that the Fourth Five-Year Plan had been formulated. Originally, everyone thought that it might be because of the war that the Chinese government had no time to formulate the Fourth Five-Year Plan, but now that the world war is nearing its end, it is likely that it will accept it within the year, but the Chinese government still does not seem to have any intention of formulating a five-year plan.

"Well, if that's the case," Hull frowned, as if a little worried, "is it possible for China's economy to complete its market-oriented transformation and quickly rise to become a powerful economy like the United States and Germany?" ”

"That's not something we're going to think about, and I'm sure the corporate community in the U.S. will beat any competitor, whether they're from Germany or from China, whether they're in the U.S. or somewhere else." Roosevelt said in a firm tone that after Hopkins and Hull's analysis, he had a rough idea of what he had to do. In principle, the U.S. government can only create a level playing field for U.S. companies, and whether U.S. companies can defeat their opponents is not something that the government needs to consider, at least not the current U.S. government.

……

Since Hitler was to direct the massacre of GCIST fighters with nuclear fission bombs, there was no formal meeting on 3 May. However, the leaders of China, the United States and Britain are still preparing to hold an "informal meeting" to discuss issues of concern to them. The meeting took place at the Kaiserhof Hotel, and Roosevelt was the host who arrived at the conference room first, waiting a few minutes later. Chang Ruiqing and Churchill arrived one after another, accompanied by Wang Jingwei, Liao Zhongkai, Aiden, and the British First Sea Lord, Dudley. Bond.

The meeting was presided over by Roosevelt, who, after announcing the opening of the meeting, first invited Dudley. Pound introduced a plan to repair India's Asan, and Pound told the participants that the British fleet and army were now massing on the island of Ceylon, and that the United States was preparing to send a fleet, ground forces, and air forces to the island.

"In view of the responsibilities of the Red India in this war and their threat to world peace, both we and the United States believe that a military strike on the Red Army of India is needed to force them to accept all the conditions put forward by the Allies. At present, we have concentrated eight battleships, two aircraft carriers, ten heavy cruisers, more than 1,000 aircraft, 12 divisions of ground forces, more than 1,000 tanks and more than 1,000 artillery pieces of various kinds on the island of Ceylon, and we will send more military forces to Ceylon in the next step......"

Dudley. Pound's speech surprised Chang Ruiqing, who originally thought that today's meeting would discuss the topic of free trade and world currency, but he did not expect Britain and the United States to discuss the matter of attacking India. After Pound's speech, Chang Ruiqing said to Roosevelt and Churchill with a puzzled face: "What kind of armistice conditions do you intend to propose to India?" If it were not for the regime of the GCD in India, it might be possible to negotiate a settlement. ”

Roosevelt turned his head to look at Hull behind him: "Mr. Hull." Please inform Prime Minister Sù Permanent of our request for India. ”

Hull stood up, a document in his hand: "The goal of this world war should be the complete defeat of the three Soviet states, including the Soviet Union, Japan, and India. Now the Soviet Union and Japan look like they are about to lose, but India continues to hold high the banner of the Soviets and the world revolution, and if we do not defeat them, we cannot say that we have won the Second World War! And our demand for India is very simple, it is to surrender and make reparations! ”

There are two types of surrender, one is conditional surrender and the other is unconditional surrender. Hull has now only said "surrender" and it seems acceptable to surrender conditionally. In addition, the demand for reparations from India also seems to confirm the position of Britain and the United States that they are ready to accept India's "conditional surrender".

"Mr. Hull. How much are you going to pay? Chang Ruiqing then asked. The Chinese premier obviously had an enmity with India's Asan in his previous life, and he did not intend to "liberate" India's Asan, nor did he intend to let the United States and Britain become this "liberator." Therefore, it is very much hoped that Britain, the United States and India can reach a rapprochement while retaining the dominance of India and G.

"$5 billion!" Hull stretched out a slap in the face and said: "In addition, Ruy must step down, India must abandon the banner of the world revolution and the Soviets, and India must democratize." ”

"Red India is a democracy, and the Supreme Soviet of India is actually the parliament. It was elected by the people of India, and the chairmanship of the People's Committee of India was elected by the Supreme Soviet of India. Chang Ruiqing explained lightly. And we all know that the leader is deeply loved by the Indian people, and I don't think it's necessary to start a war to overthrow the Ruyi regime. ”

Roosevelt frowned slightly when he heard this, Chang Ruiqing obviously didn't want Britain and the United States to return to South Asia, and at the same time didn't want to carry the burden of India, in order to achieve these two goals and maintain the three-legged situation of the South Asian subcontinent, he even did not hesitate to reverse black and white to say that India is a democratic country. Without waiting for Roosevelt to speak and retort, Churchill had already spoken: "Mr. Chang Ruiqing." Reparations and the abandonment of the world revolution are necessary, and as for the regime of the GCD in India, I think it is possible for them to change their signboard and remain in power. By the way, all prisoners of war in India's hands must be released unconditionally, and India must also give up its territorial claims to Ceylon. ”

"Isn't $5 billion a little too much?" Wang Jingwei frowned and said: "It is impossible for India to come up with this huge amount of money, and their current financial situation is very bad. ”

"India can use their representation in the future World Bank and the world currency allocated to cover part of the reparations." Churchill said lightly: "We estimate that these two parts of the asset could be worth $2.5 billion. So they only need to pay the remaining $2.5 billion in reparations. ”

"$2.5 billion is not a lot." Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, that's it, my country, Pakistan, and East India will work together to exert military pressure on India, and I believe they will make concessions." He paused, as if thinking of something, and said: "By the way, should we formulate a plan to impose sanctions on India, and we need to prevent India from acquiring high-tech weapons, especially nuclear weapons technology." ”

Roosevelt and Churchill looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Chang Ruiqing then said: "Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, I think we should discuss the resettlement of Soviet refugees after the war, in order to prevent these people from being used by the Bolsheviks again and becoming an unstable factor in Eurasia, we and Germany both believe that it is necessary to exile all Russians from the territory of the former Soviet Union!" We decided to dedicate the Assam-Nagar region and the island of Timor to house up to 25 million Soviet refugees. ”

"It is inevitable that Germany is ready to take out Cameroon and settle up to 20 million Soviet Unions." German Foreign Minister Rathenau also hurriedly expressed his position. Cameroon in Africa became a German protectorate in 1884, was divided between Britain and France after World War I, and was recovered by Germany after the Franco-German War. However, Hitler was obviously less interested in African territory than in European territory, so he planned to use this 475,000 square kilometers of land to house 20 million Soviet people.

"The U.S. can accept up to 5 million Russian refugees, but we don't accept Russian GCDs." Roosevelt had already reported half the figure he had reported to Hitler. "In addition, the United States wants all Russian refugees to be free to apply to the countries they wish to visit."

This trick is poisonous! Chang Ruiqing said in his heart: "Roosevelt wants to get the best part of the 75 million to 80 million Russians to the United States!" Still, he nodded in agreement.

"The UK can accept up to 30 million." Churchill glanced at Roosevelt, who was competing with him for the Russian elite, and added: "In addition, we are prepared to use Kenya and Uganda to resettle some Russian refugees, even if they establish an independent state there." ”
