"Everything is starting to get out of our imagination!" Churchill said with some anxiety.

The British were not warmly received in China, not even as well as the French by Charles de Gaulle.

De Gaulle now saw no hope of recovering France, let alone the colonies. Even the Vichy government, let alone de Gaulle, was silent about the ownership of French Indochina.

Charles de Gaulle is not yet the only option for the French.

He was developed with the support of the British. In any case, the imprint of the British who supported him behind him cannot be shaken off.

Originally, he also had the intention of throwing off the British and leaning towards the Americans, but the Americans had already set up another hill and supported Henri Honoré Giraud.

As the Americans advanced in North Africa, Henry's power gradually overtook him.

At this time, the British, who were constantly compromising with the Americans, could not give him more support, and the Russians were too busy to take care of themselves, and even if they gave him support, he had to consider the receptivity of the French. As the American became more and more influential in the Allied forces, the better and less support he received in the Allies, and in the name of liberating France, it was impossible to have much to do with the Axis powers.

In order to get out of the predicament, he can only look outward for every opportunity. The rise of Huaxia in the East gave him a glimmer of hope. But he didn't expect to be treated with more courtesy by the Chinese than with the British who supported him, which made him see greater hope.

As for the close relationship between China and Germany, de Gaulle selectively ignored it for the time being, after all, China is now limited neutrality, and apart from the fact that China is slightly backward in the impression of the French, it is not too much of a political obstacle.

In Mengxiang's world layout, France is also a force to be reckoned with.

Just as the British supported de Gaulle and the Americans supported Henry, China also needs to have its own pro-China spokesperson. But now the spokesperson secretly supported by Huaxia is unable to compete with De Gaulle and Henry for the time being due to the disadvantage of congenital low status. Meng Xiang had to think about preparing for the future.

De Gaulle's arrival was not only because Meng Xiang was familiar with the future president of France, who was ultimately victorious. And it also gave Huaxia another choice.

Just like the Americans who came later.

Behind the death of poor Henry in 49, there was a reconciliation between the Americans and de Gaulle, and in the case of the completion of certain deals, the shadow of Henry was abandoned.

Relative to Henry, who was closely associated with the Vichy government. Meng Xiang, who is not very familiar with it, is not optimistic, and it is not so easy to snatch food from the Americans. If Henry wins in the end, it will only be the Americans who will benefit in the end. And in the history known to Meng Xiang, after the rise of De Gaulle, it was not very popular with the British and the Americans.

Even the cheap British Empire is better than the cheaper Americans, who are exposing their global ambitions.

China was not yet able to control Europe. Then it is undoubtedly more suitable to wedge a French rooster feather with an independent spirit, so that Europe cannot be unified and not manipulated by others.

De Gaulle was more than willing to support the Afro-European powers, and the Chinese needed French technology and civilization, even if they had claims to the Asian colonies, without the greed for plundering and controlling their homeland.

The two hit it off.

Huaxia and de Gaulle and his party fought enthusiastically, which even made the British who got the news from de Gaulle taste.

It's not just the colonies that were snatched away by the Chinese. Even the chess pieces that have been raised have to be out of control, and the mood of the British can be imagined.

And at this time, the attitude of the Americans began to be ambiguous. Nature made the British more anxious.

Compared with the Chinese whose power was limited to Asia, the strength of the Americans made the British even more fearful. …,

The British sat back and watched the ebb and flow of Europe, striking at any country that might dominate the continent. The means of combining vertical and horizontal are extremely clever. But the Americans have risen in the Americas, where they can't reach them. Now they are back and trying to contaminate Europe.

Britain, which is still very arrogant, needs the support of the United States, but it will not sit idly by and watch the Americans dominate Europe, threatening the foundation of British hegemony and leading to the complete decline of the British Empire.

Speaking of which, now except in Australia. Except for the embarrassment of the British, China did not irritate the British more in other ways.

China now occupies French Indochina, but does not intervene much in the British colonies in Southeast Asia.

The Chinese captured most of Sumatra, which was the Dutch. Most of Kalimantan, which is occupied by the Chinese, is also the territory of the former Dutch, and the northern part occupied by the British plus those oil fields. Also under the control of the Japanese.

Even if Sun Liren went on a fierce offensive in the west, it was mainly against semi-independent Thailand. The northern part of Burma occupied by China also had a good relationship because the British invited the Chongqing government expeditionary force to enter earlier, and there were still British troops stationed in Mandalay, which was not the exclusive possession of China. Even the Malayan region was mainly occupied by Chinese armed forces, and the best of Singapore was still in the hands of the Japanese.

It can be said that in Southeast Asia, the Japanese were a greater threat to the British.

Moreover, the Japanese still accounted for half of India, and India at this time brought more wealth to the British than Australia.

The British faced two strategic positions in Asia, one was India and the other was the Middle East, and the threats they faced were Japan and the United States.

However, the old British Empire saw the future threat to China, so it made a strong layout to strangle the danger in the cradle. But that was only a threat to the future, and the immediate threat was the Germans and the Japanese, and a little further away was the advance of the Americans. In order not to push the Chinese to the Germans, in order for the Chinese to continue to consume the Japanese, the British did not want to tear their faces with the Chinese yet.

That's why they vigorously instigated the Americans, using Australia as an excuse to find trouble with the Chinese, dragging China and the United States into a struggle, and killing two birds with one stone to solve all the troubles in the future.

But the Americans are not stupid and chose to wait. The purpose of coming to China was only to prevent Huaxia from leaning towards Germany, and to gain more benefits by knocking Huaxia.

Perhaps in Indochina and Australia, the Chinese army plays a greater role, while in the Pacific, the navy is the decisive service.

The United States, which is also a maritime power, has realized that they may not get Australia, but as long as they control the Pacific, they will control the future.

In the face of the Japanese, whose naval power was still strong, they could not compromise their interests in the Pacific, and in the end they could only be resolved by the violence of war.

At this Meng Xiang's wedding, it is rare to gather so many big guys. Next, it was not just the negotiations between them and Huaxia. Even they are constantly colluding with each other.

For a whole month, the bigwigs negotiated a pen and paper agreement with the assistants they left behind after their departure, and the intensity caused Meng Xiang's wedding period to be constantly mentioned in the history books of later generations.

However, under the competition of interests, there are more talks behind the scenes.

The irreconcilable contradictions between Japan and the United States have caused talks between them to collapse.

India, the jewel in the British crown occupied by the Japanese, is also currently the largest plundering of Japanese wealth. The two sides also collapsed.

After Huaxia secretly promised the Germans, Japan-Germany relations also fell into coldness.

Japan's losses in places such as Australia have made many people already less optimistic about its prospects.

Even Soviet Russia took the opportunity to discuss with Japan the issue of Sakhalin, which the Chinese had not yet recovered. …,

Considering the return of the ceded lands to China, the Japanese, with the acquiescence of the Russians, occupied all of Sakhalin. This is to draw the anger of the Chinese people to Japan, and to leave a chance to take it back like the present.

The Russians were not willing to completely lose the East, as long as they survived the crisis in Europe, they would still stretch out their hands to the East, and it was inevitable to lay out in advance. The Russians, who were squeezed out of shelter by Chinese immigrants in the Far East, naturally considered the Japanese here.

As a result, in the end, the Japanese went back ahead of schedule with a stomach full of anger. Also leaving almost with Khrushchev was Khrushchev.

His mission did not fail, and after Meng Xiang emptied all the gifts of the Russians, he also promised not to attack the Russians in a short time.

Promises alone are not enough, but the shrinkage of China's forces in the north is obvious.

The low temperature and extremely cold climate in the north have greatly increased the cost of the Chinese National Defense Force stationed there.

Although Meng Xiang has a small coffer, Meng Xiang does not want to destroy the virtuous cycle of the transition from military spending to government finance.

With the help of the Russians, Huaxia took the opportunity to withdraw the garrisons in some extremely harsh areas and reduce expenses.

Under the leakage of Huaxia, intentionally or unintentionally, many forces have been informed that Huaxia wants to devote itself to the development of the colonies it has occupied, and has no intention of attacking the outside in a short period of time. Although it may not be fully believed, after obtaining Siberia and Australia, the pace of China's outward expansion is slowing down. Against the backdrop of the recent growing controversy over huge military spending in China's domestic parliament, there is still a certain possibility.

At least the Russians had felt it, but they could not afford to take advantage of the weakness in the East, because in Europe the Germans had launched a last large-scale offensive before the arrival of the extremely cold weather. The intensity of the offensive was such that Khrushchev had to return ahead of schedule.
