Britain is calculating, while the United States is much more happy. With Southeast Asia already out of control, they prefer to let their allies take control.

"Churchill may have a headache right now, and I'm wondering how he can convince the British Empire MPs." At tea time, Roosevelt rarely drank tea with Situ Meitang very leisurely.

Instead of American or European afternoon tea, they drank traditional Chinese tea sets on the coffee table. A set of phoenixes nodded, Guan Gong patrolled the city down, Roosevelt smiled and picked up the teacup and said: "Those British parliamentarians will always stay on their own interests, otherwise they will not be beaten by Germany and flee to Canada." ”

Situ Meitang did not answer, but smiled and poured Roosevelt tea. The old man knew that Roosevelt had certainly not called him to talk about the British.

These Britons no longer have the glory they once had, and all they can do now is accept the Wehrmacht's terms. Whether they like to admit it or not, that's the way it is.

"On the part of the Wehrmacht, when will troops be sent to the USSR?!" After greeting for a while, Roosevelt explained the reason for calling Situ Meitang over today.

Roosevelt knew that Mr. Szeto was in some ways the United States the spokesman for the coalition government. It's just that the way he exists is more hidden than that of the embassy.

Moreover, this kind of exchange is an unofficial exchange, and the two sides will be more open and honest. After all, what is said will not represent the official attitude of the coalition government.

"We will wait for a certain amount of blood from the Soviet Union before we will consider it." Situ Meitang did not give Roosevelt a sharp attack in this regard, and there was no need to play a sharp role with this president.

He's not one of those people to get away with easily, and it's better to talk to him and tell the truth than to tell the truth.

"The Red Bear has your support, and they are very ambitious and aggressive about the territory. We had to guard against it. Situ Meitang said with a smile: "If there is no containment to a certain extent, then they may not be able to reach out to us after the war." In fact, we all know it in our hearts. They still have great ambitions for Vladivostok and part of Mongolia. ”

Roosevelt did not deny this, but nodded in agreement. It is both expected and reasonable that the coalition government will consider this matter.

After all, a strong, territorially ambitious neighbor would not be liked by any country. From the time of Tsarist Russia to the present day, the Slavs have always had a constant demand for territorial expansion.

This is certainly unacceptable to their neighbor, China. It is to constantly weaken this country, which is a great threat to itself, and it has become a must for the coalition government.

Unless the country has begun to grow tired of expansion, this feud will not stop.

"Blood must not be shed too much, otherwise it is likely to push the USSR over the side of the Germans. The situation will not be easy to deal with. Roosevelt muttered for a moment. "I also agree with your move to make the USSR bleed, but there must be a limit. The USSR could not be allowed to choose Germany. ”

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured of this. We're definitely measured. Situ Meitang said with a smile: "Moreover, when the time comes, with those US troops on Soviet soil, do we still need to worry about the Soviets repeatedly?!" ”

"Hahaha......" Roosevelt burst out laughing. gave a thumbs up to Situ Meitang. Indeed, whether it was to prevent a repeat of the Soviet Union or to attack Europe, it was already a foregone conclusion that the United States would send troops to the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union had to accept this whether it wanted it or not. With the strength of the Soviet Union, it was unable to resist the attack from Germany and Japan.

Germany, in particular, has a large number of advanced fighter and tank units. On the other hand, the Soviet Union, although it has a certain amount of modern weapons, is compared to Germany. Whether it is training, actual combat application or strategic planning, it has been far behind.

In such a situation, in fact, Stalin and Trotsky and other members of the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union were ready to give up large areas of territory.

At this time, negotiations between Germany and the Soviet Union were also at an impasse. The Soviet side could not accept Germany's demand for full control of resources. Germany, on the other hand, could not accept the large number of mechanical, technical, and weaponry demanded by the Soviet Union.

It can be said that the negotiations at this time have lost their personal significance. But both sides are continuing. Both Ribbentrop and Kalinin had one thing on their mind: to delay as much time as possible.

It's December 1939. There were still five long months to go before May 1940, when Hitler was ready to attack. Ribbentrop had to delay the negotiations until that time.

Otherwise, an attack on the USSR in winter was a terrible thing. The cold would make those sophisticated German fighters and tanks out of order or even unable to fight, which was extremely detrimental to Germany. The roads in Russia are muddy in the spring, which will be extremely stressful for logistics.

In the case of rigorous analysis. The staff officers of the German battalion believed that the time for the offensive was only in the summer. If the offensive against the USSR was not completed between summer and autumn, then the troops would have been forced to move to the defensive phase.

The Soviet Union, for its part, has been urging the United States and Britain to send the promised troops and technicians to the Soviet Union. Without these, it would have been absolutely impossible to defend against the impending German offensive.

But the demand of the United States and Britain was that the Soviet Union must first start a war against Germany, or declare its membership in the Allies, otherwise they would not give much aid to the Soviet Union.

Of course, in order to ease relations with the Soviet Union, the British side still sent a large number of tank drivers, fighter pilots, and some weapons and equipment to the Soviet Union.

At the same time, a large number of American "volunteers" were ordered to go to the USSR to provide support. They were to be responsible for the training of Soviet pilots, tank drivers. At the same time to assist the Soviet Union in the fight against Germany.

These volunteers were requested by the Soviet side on the grounds that they did not want to have a direct confrontation with Germany prematurely, because the Soviet Union was not ready for it.

The United States also accepted this statement, and they did not choose to completely cut off aid to the Soviet Union because of this statement from the Soviet side. Of course, large quantities of weapons and material aid would have to wait until the Soviet Union declared war on Germany.

"Mr. Ribbentrop, it's almost Christmas. Don't you need to go back to spend time with your family?! "Negotiations should be negotiated, but as the negotiations went on, Kalinin also became somewhat interested in Ribbentrop as a person.

It has to be said that the foreign minister of the Third Reich was able to keep the British at bay and was able to adopt a series of combined measures in the chaos of Europe. Eventually, Germany was able to raid the Low Countries and become the hegemon of Europe.

The means are really different. Even as an enemy, Kalinin had to admit the foreign minister's superb diplomatic skills. Even though many of the options are deeply divided, the foreign minister has always been able to find some common ground.

Even often, Kalinin was struck by the proposal proposed by the foreign minister.

"In my mind, the task of the Führer and the needs of Germany are even more important." Ribbentrop smiled and said, "My wife and children understand me, and I am fighting for their future." ”

This is one of the few times Ribbentrop confided in front of a man who is doing these things for the future of his wife and children.

Ribbentrop's original identity was nothing more than a businessman. Although he came from a military family and even fought in World War I. But what he does best is still business.

But his title of nobility. It was only inherited from his own aunt. For this, he has been ridiculed a lot, in order to let his son be able to raise his head in the future and his family can gain the respect that the nobility deserves.

He was determined that he had to make a meritorious achievement, an irrefutable and great achievement. In some ways, he did.

As a result of his efforts, Britain signed the Anglo-German Naval Agreement with Germany. The tonnage of Germany's navy could be 35% of that of Britain, creating conditions for Germany to expand its navy.

And under his means, Britain and France watched Czechoslovakia be annexed by Germany. At the same time, the Zetan Corridor was recovered, and Poland was divided between the Soviet Union and Germany.

It was also under his travels that Mussolini and Germany formed the "Iron Alliance". Although Italy's combat power is outrageous, it is a European power that can openly support Germany.

"Mr. Kalinin, what about you?! Aren't you going back to spend Christmas with your family?! Ribbentrop asked with a little interest. This is not the time for negotiations. It's an afternoon tea for two.

They sat calmly in the manor, without a trace of fireworks.

"Hahaha...... I, like you, am for the sake of my Fatherland Soviet. The tasks I have carried out have been entrusted to me by the Supreme Council. Kalinin laughed. "So, in that sense, we are all patriots. ”

The two patriots smiled and did not continue to speak. They know where each other stands, and they know that they will meet each other on the diplomatic front and even on the battlefield again. What should I say then......

"Don't be so troublesome, kill the head of the head of the head of the head and the end of the bitter kiln. Why do you do so much! "Annan's cannon master is extremely bored now.

Annan's affairs are now handled with the assistance of officials sent by the coalition government. After all, there are not many officials who can handle government affairs now.

The coalition government doesn't want to make a mess here, especially those under Qiang Chung and Nguyen Thu Wong. The base side has a set of plans, and the whole is arguing.

Simply send people to manage the local government affairs first, and then let their people learn from them. There are not too many objections between the two sides on this point, after all, they also know that they are still novices in managing government affairs.

But they didn't notice it, and before they knew it, many familiar faces began to disappear. Part of it was to form an army, which would go to the front with the Wehrmacht.

The other part is required to go to the Imperial Capital University of Political Science and Law to study government management, and at the same time, they will also be sent to China for internship. It's also a workout.

What's more, the coalition government will screen those people for so long. When the time comes, we can specifically support these people, and for those who are not pro-China, we can try to downplay their influence as much as possible.

"Commander-in-chief, we can't kill them all or imprison them all, right?!" The one who was sent to Annan was Ding Jianyuan, a foreign-related adviser to the coalition government. He was very helpless about the commander-in-chief's rough way of dealing with it.

"There are almost 10,000 bandits we have eliminated this time, and my suggestion is that except for the most heinous ones who should be shot, the rest will either stay in Annan to work as coolies or be sent back to China. There is also a shortage of labor in the country, especially in Yunnan Province, where roads are being built. More manpower is needed......"

Tu Laohu touched his chin, but he felt that this young man who was sent by the bigwigs of the coalition government was really good. Now they have learned to think about themselves, even if they catch a bandit from Annan, they also consider sending labor to the country.

What a good thing! Tu Lao Hu slapped the table. Said: "Done! Just send them back to the country as you say. I'll deal with Annan's side, let's crack down on the bandits for them and deal with these turtle calves, what are they not satisfied with?! ”

During this period, in order to train troops, the National Defense Forces and the newly established Annam Coalition Government Army did not eliminate bandits. Those once routed soldiers, and the armed forces scattered to various places because of the previous uprisings, formed large and small bandit villages.

And this time, they were completely unlucky. With the coalition government forces of Annam as the pioneer, the IDF was in the rear. Sweeping away these cottages is nothing more than a matter of raising your hand.

The weapons and equipment of these cottages were extremely poor, and some of them even had a few old single sleeves and a bunch of broadswords and spears. It was naturally effortless to be cleaned up.

Of course. These people are also poor ghosts. Ji was exterminated, and nothing good could be found. It made the local people of Annam happy.

After all, the bandits didn't do anything good, and Annan was small and poor. What can be robbed?! Naturally, they robbed the local grain and the like for their own supplies.

Since the fighting on the front gradually subsided, the suppression of bandits has become a top priority. Under the encirclement and suppression of the Wehrmacht sparing no effort. In just over a month, many large and small white villages in Annam were wiped out.

In fact, there is another reason for the Wehrmacht to suppress banditry. Tu Laohu didn't believe that Qiang Zheng and Nguyen Thu Weng would expose all their armed forces.

And the best way to hide the armed forces is to let them turn into bandits.

A large part of the reason for slaughtering tigers is to clean up the armed forces of these people. At the very least, we have to push them to the fore so that they can be dealt with if something happens.

"Xiao Ding, pay attention to Ruan Qiuweng and Qiang Zheng's attitude towards these bandits. Some should be cleaned up. Just clean it up and don't hesitate. Tu Laohu smiled and said, "It's good for them and for us......"

Ding Jianyuan was stunned when he heard this, and nodded to show that he understood. Then he hurriedly turned and walked away.

Qiang Zheng is also having a headache now, and there are really some of the bandits who have been exterminated. The United Government of Annan Army, formed by the National Defense Forces, is a closed barracks. No one is ever allowed to leave the camp before the operation.

What I'm afraid of is leaking the news. It was the internal lines that were forcibly arranged in the army of the Annan coalition government, and there was no way to convey the news at all.

Among the exterminated villages, at least twenty had an inexplicable relationship with Qiang. These people were all members of the previous uprisings, and most of them stayed in the mountains to prepare.

At the same time, he secretly continued to grow his power. Respond to the call of force at any time. But I didn't expect that after a while, these people would all become prisoners.

Qiang Zheng has the intention to fish these people out. But he was also afraid that this would make Ruan Thu Weng and others, who were competitors, seize the handle. Now it is Nguyen Thu Ong and Qiang Trung who are in charge of the Annam coalition government.

If such a thing breaks out in this stall, it will undoubtedly lose points extremely much. Even the Wehrmacht will tip its balance in favor of Nguyen Thu Ong.

"Your Royal Highness, it's useless to think about it so much now. We can only send people to inform them and tell them not to show their mouths. We're slowly getting them out afterwards. ”

Mei Qingqiu looked at Qiang Zheng and sighed: "It is impossible for us to directly intervene in this matter now, otherwise it will affect your status and prestige in the new government." After all, being involved with bandits has a great impact on you......"

"That being said, these people are the elite people we have accumulated over the years! I would like to let them join the Coalition Government of Annam at the right time! Qiang Zheng sighed and said: "I didn't expect the Wehrmacht to start so quickly, and they started encirclement and suppression without notifying us directly......

"Your Highness, I highly suspect that these things are the ghost of Ruan Qiuweng and them." Mei Qingqiu snorted coldly: "They are ruthless, as far as I know, there are several villages that are inclined to them that have been exterminated this time. I think they must have told the Wehrmacht about all these things. That's why the Wehrmacht is in a hurry to exterminate the cottage ......"

"Not really...... After all, they have also lost a lot of power, can they do this?! Qiang Zhen paused for a moment, and said na.

"O my Highness! Haven't you seen it yet?! Now the Wehrmacht is the master of Annam, with their support, the establishment of a regular army with rifles and machine guns, isn't it better than the bandits in the cottage?! ”

Mei Qingqiu hated that iron could not become steel and said urgently: "It seems that they have abandoned those cottages, but they have received the support of the National Defense Army!" In this way, they will have a much higher say in the new government! And we, who secretly keep the copycat, what do you think the Wehrmacht will think?! ”

Suspicious neighbor stealing axe, the more you look at it, the more it looks! After Qiang Ji went through these things in his mind, the anger in his heart came out.

"Good! These damn bastards, now it's going to be the hell?! Don't blame me for being unjust! Qingqiu, find some people to reveal the list of Nguyen Thu Weng and their hidden stakes that we have to the Wehrmacht, and I'll see what they plan to do! ”

Mei Qingqiu gritted her teeth and agreed when she heard this, but Qiang Zheng didn't notice a hint of a smile in Mei Qingqiu's eyes.
