Chen Jingyun also felt a little helpless about the Americans' scoundrel practices, Chen Jingyun thought that he was a super shameless person, but he didn't expect that the Americans' shamelessness was no less than his own.
In order to avoid provoking China, the United States ordered the Allied forces in Europe to speed up the pace of the offensive, but it was only in France and did not have a strategic attempt to invade the German mainland.
In other words, although Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union strongly expressed various oppositions, they did not have the courage to completely break with China at this time, so they did not dare to touch the bottom line drawn by China, which was that Germany maintained its inherent territory before the war.
The real struggle is between China and the United States, and as long as the United States does not possess nuclear weapons to confront China, then it will not be possible for a day for a real war to break out with China.
Although the overall situation is different from what Chen Jingyun expected, and it is not too satisfying, Chen Jingyun also knows that it is not so easy to bring the United States to its knees, and last year, the Americans did not directly abandon the southern Philippines in the face of the threat of nuclear bombing of New York, but instead used tough means to demand that China and the United States withdraw from the Philippines at the same time, and promised that neither side would be allowed to intervene in the Philippine civil war, so that the Philippines would evolve into a north-south proxy civil war supported by China and the United States respectively.
You have to eat bite by bite, things have to be done step by step, and it is not so easy to compete with the United States for the status of world hegemon.
Now that Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union have ceased their attacks on the German mainland in de facto military operations, Germany has gained the most precious time.
Through this time, the German Provisional Army and Political Axe also quickly integrated its forces, gave up some areas of France that were destined to be undefendable, and rebuilt the western German defense line according to the many fortifications built in western Germany before the war, and on the eastern front, it also took the initiative to abandon Hungary, Poland and other regions, directly retreated to Germany itself, and established a German eastern defense line.
By August, the situation in Europe was clear, with the remnants of the German army holding on to the east and west, but still controlling the northwestern territories of Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the Czech Republic.
The Chinese-led coalition controlled the Balkans, including Yugoslavia, Greece, Bulgaria, and Austria. It also controlled the western part of Romania, the western part of Hungary, and the central part of the Czech Republic.
The Russians, on the other hand, conquered eastern Romania, eastern Hungary, eastern Czechism, and all of Poland and German East Prussia.
The Allies controlled all of Italy and France.
By the end of August, although no armistice had been signed between Germany and Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, there were no large-scale wars, only small-scale military conflicts.
However, due to the partition control of various countries, many of the original countries were divided and controlled, such as Romania was divided into two parts, the Czech Republic was divided into three parts, and Hungary was also divided into two parts.
At this point, the biggest profit is naturally China, relying on the strong national strength to support and invest hundreds of thousands of troops in Europe, controlling almost the entire Balkan Peninsula and controlling Austria, and directly penetrating its military power into the heart of Europe.
And secondly, the greater benefit is Germany, don't look at the fact that Germany has lost a large area of control in the past two months, but without China's strong support, the Germans estimate that even Berlin has been lost, and now they still retain the German mainland, and at the same time control the Netherlands, Belgium, western Czech Republic and other regions. Of course, more importantly, they have gained extremely valuable breathing time, giving them time to adjust and rebuild the defensive line, in the past few months of large-scale fighting, the German military system has been beaten to the near collapse, although the various army groups, the command sequence is numerous, but most of them have been disabled, now the Germans have precious time to adjust the troops, the remaining elite troops to rebuild the east and west defense lines.
As for Soviet Russia and Britain and the United States, they naturally belonged to the aggrieved side, and the original plan to attack Germany mainland was aborted due to China's strong intervention, but it is good to say that France and Italy were also recaptured, and Soviet Russia also controlled Poland and eastern Romania.
The current situation is tantamount to a major reshuffle, in which all parties have gained their own benefits and at the same time have lost a lot of things.
For Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, the biggest loss is not the gain or loss of one city and one pool, but the fact that after Germany is kept by China, they will face two alliances in the future. This threat is not visible for the time being, but it will have an increasingly deep impact in the next few decades after the war, and will directly lead to many unfavorable situations for the United States and China in the global hegemony between the United States and China.
On August 13, Germany announced the establishment of the end of the provisional military and political axe state, the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany, Witzleben was elected as the president of Germany, the famous democrat Theodor? Haus was appointed Chancellor, and the government was a multi-party presidential system, but although it was a so-called multi-party democratic system, power was controlled by the Wehrmacht.
Rommel was appointed commander-in-chief of the army. As for the large number of Nazis who were arrested and executed in large numbers, this is China's demand to Germany, and China hopes that there will continue to be Nazi people in Germany, and at the same time, the Germans themselves are also in order to avoid the post-war war criminal trials from damaging the face of the political axe.
The day after the establishment of the Republican Axe, the new Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Haus, took a special plane to Nanjing, China, which shows how much the newly established Federal Republic of Germany urgently needs China's support.
At the large airport on the outskirts of Nanjing, with the landing of the GA8 special plane in which House was boarding, Ma Yinchu, the president of the Chinese State Council, led a large number of military and political dignitaries to greet him, giving the newly established Federal Republic of Germany full recognition in terms of diplomatic rank.
On the same day, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that China had announced that it would recognize the Federal Republic of Germany as the sole legitimate political axe of Germany, and that the political axes of the two countries would continue to implement the "Sino-German Armistice Agreement" and "Sino-German Friendship and Cooperation Agreement" signed during the period of the German Provisional Military Political Axe.
The next time, at the grand welcome ball for House of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing, although Chen Jingyun did not attend, Chen Huatian attended the ball in a suit.
When many military and political dignitaries on the scene saw that Chen Huatian was not wearing a general's dress as usual, but wearing a suit to bring his wife Hong Ziping to attend, they all showed a slight surprise on their faces.
And those who are a little smarter know that Chen Jingyun finally arranged for Chen Huatian to officially enter the government affairs system.
Just like Chen Jingyun's own identity change back then, Chen Jingyun in the early days has always advertised himself as a soldier, and even when the Republic was officially established, he was in military uniform. After the twenties, Chen Jingyun gradually diluted his military identity, no longer wore military uniforms in political public, but wore suits, and began to appear in front of everyone as a pure politician, even at the meetings of the State Military Council, he was the only one who did not wear military uniforms.
Now, Chen Huatian has also begun to downplay his military identity, and has begun to meddle in government affairs, and has been extremely important in foreign affairs.
In early August, Chen Jingyun officially appointed Chen Huatian as vice president of the Government Council. In China's government affairs yuan system, there is only one president of each ministry and the president of the government affairs yuan, but there are many vice presidents of the government affairs yuan, such as Liu Dajun, the general minister of the Ministry of Finance, is the vice president of the government affairs yuan, and concurrently serves as the chief minister of finance.
Generally speaking, the vice-presidents of the State Council do not actually manage the affairs, and most of the power in their hands comes from serving concurrently, or being in charge of a certain aspect of affairs. As for Chen Huatian, as vice president of the Government Council, he is mainly responsible for foreign affairs.
As for the others, because Chen Jingyun implements a strict system of separation between military and political affairs, civilian officials are civilian officials, soldiers are soldiers, and reserve generals are not allowed to participate in the election of parliamentarians or become civilian officials, and there is only one way for soldiers to enter politics, that is, to completely give up their military status, and only after retirement can they join the civilian system.
After Gu Weijun saw Chen Huatian entering, he took the lead to greet him: "Huatian, you are here!" ”
Although Chen Huatian was designated as the heir by Chen Jingyun, he was still a cut behind Gu Weijun in terms of seniority, facing this old Chinese diplomat with real power and his father's most trusted diplomat, Chen Huatian naturally did not put the heir's genealogy, but hurriedly took two steps forward: "Gu Lao, I heard my father say that your waist has been sick again during this time, it doesn't matter!" ”
