Hitler put Ribbentrop's report on the table, rubbed his eyebrows and said to the generals present: "Generals, tell me what you think. ”

Everyone, you look at me, and I see that you don't squeak. Although Germany has been collecting intelligence on the Soviet Union, it has been weaker in terms of strength.

Germany is now most concerned about the United States. This was the only force that could threaten Germany in the end, so German intelligence focused most of its efforts on detecting the United States.

"Dear Führer, according to our information, the Soviets have now obtained at least 500 new fighters, more than 100 new tanks, and more than 100 large-caliber artillery pieces...... Canaris hurried to Hitler's conference room and distributed his information to all the generals.

"This was only the first batch of war materiel supplied to the Soviet Union by the Allies, and at the same time the Soviet Union also purchased a batch of fighters, bombers and tanks from China, and we do not know exactly how much this batch of weapons was, the only thing we know is that this batch of weapons and equipment has arrived in Moscow with Stalin. And it's also the first weapons they traded......"

Now an important question is on everyone's face: if the Soviet Union received effective support, would Germany still be able to fight the Soviet Union in the first war as planned?!

But Hitler had no psychological obstacle to the Wehrmacht's sale of weapons to the Soviet Union. Besides, didn't the Wehrmacht secretly sell tungsten ore to themselves?!

The "war embargo" is just talk. If you want to sell, you can always find a way and a name. For example, in the early days of World War II, the United States sold steel and other materials to Japan in the name of "waste recycling".

It was not until Japan turned these "scrap and recycled" steel into bombs and smashed them on Pearl Harbor that the United States stopped doing such things.

"The performance of the new American fighter jet cannot be evaluated because we have not seen it on the battlefield. But we know about the Wehrmacht fighters. Air Force Commander Goering spoke. But he saw him say to Hitler: "Several models of the Tiger Shark were developed based on our earliest BF-109. In terms of performance, the difference is not far behind, and due to the introduction of American engines, it may be better than the BF-109 in some aspects......"

"The same goes for tanks." General Heinz Wilhelm Guderian, who became famous for his efforts in the Low Countries and the British campaign, looked at Hitler and said, "Our tanks were developed with the Wehrmacht from the beginning. But in the early days, we used small-caliber tank guns, while the Chinese side was very far-sighted in using large-caliber artillery. ”

"In that regard, they are clearly successful. The defeat of the Japanese army on the battlefield in China has proved the correctness of the Wehrmacht's approach. Goodry paused and said, "It's just that now we don't know how far China has developed their tanks, and which tanks they have sold to the Soviets......"

"Although reluctant to admit it. However, in terms of the coordination of the armored forces with the army and the air force, we still have a certain distance from the Chinese defense forces. Guderian sighed and said: "We can summarize this from the previous Wehrmacht campaigns against the Japanese army, they are very good at coordinating ground artillery fire, aerial bombardment strafing and infantry tanks, and also pay great attention to the radio coordination between artillery and front-line troops......

Sometimes Guderian himself wonders, why can those Chinese break out so quickly?! It's just a few years. Their economy, science and technology accumulation is already close to that of Europe and the United States.

Although there are still deficiencies in some aspects, there is still a lack of industrial infrastructure. But when you think of a few years ago, Guderian was a semi-colonial, semi-feudal, and even warlord-fighting country.

In fact, this feeling was also shared in later European and American countries. In 30 years, China jumped from 131th to second in terms of overall GDP, and even surpassed the United States to become the first.

This also made Europeans and Americans incomprehensible, and at one time some were even reluctant to admit this fact.

"So, do you think I should authorize Ribbentrop to negotiate with the Soviet side?!" Hitler hesitated, and at first he really wanted to paralyze the Soviet Union so that Germany could calmly prepare for war.

But now it seems. The USSR did not seem to be easy to deal with. If the war were to be hastily started, if the main forces of Germany were dragged to the Soviet Union, it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no change in these occupying powers in Europe.

France, Belgium, Netherlands...... There are still some people in other countries who want to return to the country. They formed partisan detachments organized by the Americans and the British, and from time to time they would appear to harass the German troops who occupied the area.

"My opinion, honorable Führer, is that neither side will give up." Field Marshal Gert von Rundstedt stood up. "On the one hand, we can first look at the ideas of the USSR, and on the other hand we continue to prepare for war. ”

"Slavs backsliding is the norm, and their agreements are not credible. Of course, if the conditions are right, let them join us and attack Canada and the United States with us. But it's a good choice......"

Rundstein looked at the crowd and said: "In my personal opinion, in fact, the Soviet Union is also waiting. The Japanese appeared in Afghanistan. This is a huge threat to them. If we had sent troops together from both places, then the USSR would definitely have gotten bogged down in the quagmire of war. ”

"Even with the support of Britain and the United States, the Soviet Union's own industrial capacity was not good. Fighting with us in front of them, they are absolutely powerless to support it. Rundstey paused and said, "The most important point: if we can get the Soviet Union to join us, then presumably the Chinese side will also consider whether it should change its position." ”

The old marshal smiled and said, "I am more optimistic about China than Japan. I can't believe the combat effectiveness of those Japanese people now. They were driven out of the country by Chinese, even if they were beaten back step by step in Southeast Asia......"

When Rundstein said this, everyone couldn't help but smile. The tragic experience of the Japanese in Southeast Asia had long since become a laughing stock in the Wehrmacht.

Although after studying the battlefield situation, Rundstein and others felt that the Japanese defeat was unjust, this did not prevent them from making fun of the Japanese. They laughed even more when they learned that a large number of Japanese prisoners and Southeast Asian prisoners were working hard in China to build roads, railways, and dig mines.

"General Rundstein. You have a point. This made Hitler very excited, in fact, Hitler had always hoped that China would join the Axis powers.

Because China has huge resources and population, and its combat effectiveness is good. At least they were much better than the Japanese, and if they joined the Axis powers, the chances of winning the war would be a few points better.

The Chinese seem to have had this will, as evidenced by the vague absence of any mention of Germany in their declaration of war. Now Hitler was already disappointed in Italy.

Hit a backward and small country like Ethiopia, but it was beaten in disgrace. This led to Hitler's desperate desire to have a strong ally to help Germany continue the war.

The loss of armor by the Italians on various battlefields, and the fact that the Japanese were beaten by the Chinese Wehrmacht on the battlefields in China and Southeast Asia gave Hitler a great headache.

This made Hitler, who looked up to the Japanese for the Battle of Pearl Harbor and the Southeast Asian Campaign, directly fall to the bottom of his evaluation of Japan. Those who were whipped all over the ground looking for teeth.

"Generals, what I want to know now is your evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Defense Forces." Hitler thought about it. "The Soviets may be good at fighting, but I believe that if China becomes our ally, they have a better chance of sending troops." ”

Rundstein paused for a moment and glanced at Field Marshal Fedor von Bock beside him. Bock then stood up and addressed Hitler.

"Honorable Führer, in fact, we can see the clues of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese National Defense Forces from their previous battles. There is no doubt about it. This is a formidable army. Their modernization is unquestionable, and their combat effectiveness can be seen in the fact that they defeated more than a million Japanese troops who entered China. ”

Bock paused and said: "The Japanese army captured hundreds of thousands of Anglo-American troops in Southeast Asia with less than 20,000 troops, but it used hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat the Wehrmacht. ”

"And it was also routed by the Wehrmacht, and had to move the front back to the Weijiang line. If it was just one battle, the Japanese did not seem to have defeated the Wehrmacht head-on in several battles. A few tactical victories were achieved by chance, but they could not lead to a change in the strategic superiority of the Wehrmacht. Bock paused. "Therefore, I am sure that their combat effectiveness is at least close to that of our Wehrmacht units......"

"Moreover, the Chinese Defense Forces also had experience in fighting the Soviet Union." Rundstein said: "At that time, when their warships did not have an advantage, they skillfully used their air superiority to achieve victory. This is worth noting. ”

In fact. Germany's victories in the European theater did not cease to pay attention to the Asian theater. They paid special attention to the units of the Chinese Defense Forces, because they knew that sooner or later they would enter the USSR.

Perhaps, what he will face at that time is the Chinese National Defense Force. For the study of the enemy, it is inevitable.

"Tell Ribbentrop. I authorized him to negotiate with the USSR. Hitler pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, inform our special envoy in China of this decision." Let him help us test the attitude of the Tiger and the coalition government. ”

"Hey! Hitler!! ”

But now there are people who have more headaches than Hitler. One is the current British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who is occupied and is facing a group of mischievous parliamentarians.

The other was Roosevelt, who was in danger and his hair was about to fall out.

Kennan's telegram from Moscow was placed in front of the two men in a short time, and Roosevelt felt a headache when he looked at Kennan's telegram.

Although in his heart Roosevelt had already scolded these damned Slavic robbers ten thousand times, in reality he was helpless. Knowing that this was Soviet blackmail, no one dared to take this risk.

If the Soviet Union had really chosen to join the Axis powers, the war would have been almost impossible to fight. A million Soviet troops, which could be armed overnight, poured into Canada all at once. Anyone who thinks about it makes their scalp tingle.

"Little John, hurry up and come up with an aid plan!" Roosevelt smiled bitterly and said, "Even if we know that these Slavs are blackmailing us, we have to give them supplies ...... western Zhejiang."

John Rockefeller Jr. sighed helplessly: "Yes, Your Excellency. In fact, if the Soviet Union had chosen the Axis powers, attacking Canada would not have been the most terrible thing. My fear is that China, which has reservations, will make another choice at that time......"

Roosevelt was shocked. But when you think about it, it's not impossible. China and Germany have always had an unusual connection. Germany's declaration of war did not mention China a single word.

And China's declaration of war, again, did not mention a word about Germany. The tacit understanding between the two countries makes people think about it. If the Soviet Union had joined the Axis, China's position would not have changed.

"Mr. Rockefeller, are you a little worried?!" A congressman looked at Little John and said, "There are irreconcilable contradictions between China and Japan, especially Japan's huge losses in China, which makes it impossible for them to cooperate easily......

"It is Germany that now dominates the Axis." Little John looked at the councillor mockingly. I wondered which stupid donkey this was pushed. We can't even see the basic international situation clearly, and sitting in the position of a congressman can only mislead the country and the people.

"Does the day have a say now?! And most importantly: how much ability does Japan have to continue fighting now?! I think that if China really joins the Axis, maybe the first one willing to do so will be Japan, right?! ”

"All right, little John. Needless to say. You go and get ready, talk to the Soviets and see what they really want. Roosevelt interrupted Little John and said, "By the way, send someone to contact the Chinese side and test their attitude......

Compared to the White House, the British parliament in Ottawa is much more noisy. The attitude of the Soviet Union drove the parliamentarians crazy, and a bunch of people came together to constantly scold the Slavs for their treachery, and swore to send the damned red sickle and hammer to hell.

"Don't make any noise! There is no point in saying anything now, how we should keep the USSR in its current position is what should be considered! "Churchill would now like to take out all these idiots in front of him with a heavy machine gun. Unfortunately, he couldn't. Although he would love to.

"If the Soviets had chosen the Axis powers, they wouldn't have to wait for us to send them to hell. They were the first to send us to the prisoner of war camp! Churchill roared at the parliamentarians: "Can you imagine that more than a million Soviet troops, assisted by tanks and fighter jets, landed in Canada from the Bering Strait?!" ”

These parliamentarians are stupid. The thought of the sudden landing of a million Soviet troops in Canada made these people chill. Flee to the United States for refuge?! It was just a matter of survival, and perhaps the Germans would eventually have to find out and kill them.

"Most seriously, the position of the Soviet Union is likely to influence China's choice." Churchill's face was gloomy, and he looked at these parliamentarians coldly and said: "Now it is China that is holding back the Japanese in Southeast Asia. so that their fleet had no way to launch an offensive in the Pacific Ocean. ”

"If the Soviet Union had chosen to join the Axis powers, then China would likely have faced a two-front war. China's coalition government came to have some inexplicable relationship with the Germans. When the time comes, they may not choose to join the Axis as well! ”

As he spoke, Churchill took a deep breath and said, "Can you imagine what that would be?!" More than a dozen aircraft carriers and dozens of battleships and cruisers directly crossed the Pacific Ocean to attack Canada! That's how it turned out when the time came! ”

The councillors were dumbfounded, and some began to grunt. Sweating profusely, they could imagine what would happen if this happened.

"The first thing we have to think about now is how to stabilize the Soviet Union! The second thing to consider is how to stabilize China. Churchill scolded with hatred: "You were still thinking about how to take advantage of China, but now you should think carefully about how to prevent the Soviet Union and China from changing their positions." Otherwise...... The British Empire and we may all cease to exist. ”

The MPs stopped arguing, and they could tell the gravity of the matter in Churchill's words. If you are not careful, then the whole battle situation will slide directly into the abyss. When the time comes, it will really be a catastrophe.

"Prime Minister, we still have more than 300 pilots. In addition, after a short period of training, 130 people have passed the training of pilots in the aviation school and can enter the Soviet Union to assist in the war...... "The first to speak was Hugh Daudin, who was coldly watching these corpses of the parliamentarians.

"In terms of fighter jets, it will take time for us to get back into production. But I am sure that within half a year, we will produce 300 fighters a month. That's the limit of what we can do. Hugh Daoding said, mentioning the production of fighters that he was now in charge of. This was extremely important for the British army.

"Our ground forces have also been initially formed, and now 150,000 people can participate in the fighting. But we still need time to build up combat effectiveness......" spoke to Montgomery, who was in charge of the Army, who was not expelled after all.

On this matter, the parliamentarians compromised with Churchill. Montgomery is now directly responsible for everything in the military, from logistics to training and even commanding operations.

"Send them all to the Soviet Union......" Churchill was silent for a while, and sighed: "Now, it is what we must do to keep the confidence of the Soviet Union to fight......
