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

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but you don’t say anything. Although Germany has been collecting intelligence on the Soviet Union, the intensity is still a bit weak after all.

What Germany is most concerned about right now is the United States. This is the only force that can threaten Germany in the end, so the German intelligence department puts most of its energy into investigating the United States.

"Dear Head of State, according to our information, the Soviets have now obtained at least more than 500 new fighter jets, more than 100 new tanks, and more than 100 large-caliber artillery pieces..." Canaris came in a hurry.

Arriving at Hitler's conference room, he distributed the information he had to all the generals.

"This is only the first batch of combat materials supplied by the Allies to the Soviet Union. At the same time, the Soviet Union also purchased a batch of fighter jets, bombers and tanks from China. We have not found out the exact quantity of this batch of weapons. The only thing we know is that this batch of weapons

The weapons and equipment have arrived in Moscow with Stalin. And this is also the first batch of weapons in their transaction..."

Now an important question is before everyone: if the Soviet Union receives effective support, can Germany still defeat the Soviet Union as planned?

But Hitler had no psychological barriers to the Wehrmacht selling weapons to the Soviet Union. Besides, didn’t the Wehrmacht secretly sell tungsten ore to itself?!

The "war embargo" is just talk. If you want to sell it, you can always find a way and a name. For example, in the early days of World War II in history, the United States often used "waste recycling" in the name

Sell ​​steel and other materials to Japan.

It wasn't until Japan made these "waste recycled" steel into bombs and dropped them on Pearl Harbor that the United States stopped doing such things.

"We haven't seen the performance of the new American fighter jets on the battlefield, so we can't evaluate it yet. But we know the Wehrmacht fighter jets." Air Force Commander Göring spoke, but saw him saying to Hitler: "Tiger

Several models of the Shark are all developed based on our earliest BF-109. The performance is not far different. Due to the introduction of American engines, the performance may be better than the BF-109 in some aspects..."

"The same goes for tanks." General Heinz Wilhelm Guderian, who became famous for the war in the Low Countries and the Battle of Britain, looked at Hitler and said: "Our tanks were developed together with the Wehrmacht from the beginning. But in the early days we

Small-caliber tank guns were used, while China had the foresight to use large-caliber artillery."

"At this point, they are obviously successful. The failure of the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield has proved that the approach of the National Defense Force is correct." Guderian paused and said: "It's just that now we don't know, China

To what stage have they developed their tanks, and which tank are they selling to the Soviets..."

"Although we don't want to admit it, there is still a certain distance between us and the Chinese National Defense Force in terms of the cooperation between the armored forces, the army, and the air force." Guderian sighed and said: "We can learn from the previous military confrontations between the National Defense Force and the Japanese Army.

It can be concluded from the battle that they are very good at coordinating ground artillery, aerial bombing and sweeping, and infantry tanks. They also pay great attention to radio coordination between artillery and frontline troops..."

Sometimes Guderian himself also wonders, why can those Chinese explode so fast?! In just a few years, their economy and technological accumulation are already close to those of European and American countries.

Although there are still deficiencies in some aspects, including insufficient industrial infrastructure, Guderian feels amazing when thinking that a few years ago it was just a semi-colonial, semi-feudal, and even a country where warlords were constantly fighting.

In fact, this feeling was also shared by later European and American countries. In later generations, China jumped from thirteenth to second in the overall GDP ranking in thirty years, and even had a strong tendency to surpass the United States and become first.

This also made Europeans and Americans unable to understand, and some people were even unwilling to admit this fact.

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

But now it seems that the Soviet Union is not easy to deal with. If a war is launched rashly, if Germany's main force is dragged behind the Soviet Union, it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be no changes in the occupying countries in Europe.

There are still some people in France, Belgium, the Netherlands... and other countries who want to re-establish their country. They formed guerrillas under the organization of Americans and British, and from time to time they would appear to harass the German troops who occupied the local area.

.

"Dear Head of State, my opinion is: Don't give up on both sides." Field Marshal Gert von Rundstedt stood up and said: "On the one hand, we can first see what the Soviet Union thinks, and on the other hand, we can continue

Prepare for war."

"It is normal for the Slavs to go back on their word, and their agreement is not credible. Of course, if the conditions are right, it would be a good choice for them to join us and attack Canada and the United States with us..."

Lundstedt looked at everyone and talked: "I personally think that the Soviet Union is actually waiting and watching. The Japanese appear in Afghanistan, which is a huge threat to them. If we send troops from both places, then

The Soviet Union will definitely fall into the quagmire of war."

"Even with the support of Britain and the United States, the Soviet Union's own industrial capabilities are not very good. They are absolutely unable to support us in a battle." Lundstedt paused and said: "The most important point: if we can let the Soviet Union

If you join us, then China will surely consider whether it should change its stance."

The old marshal smiled and said: "Compared to the Japanese, I am more optimistic about China. I can't believe the fighting power of the Japanese. They are simply driven out of the country by the Chinese, even in Southeast Asia.

The area was beaten back step by step..."

When Lundstedt mentioned this matter, everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly. Japan's tragic experience in Southeast Asia has long become a laughing stock among the German Wehrmacht.

Although Lundstedt and others felt that Japan's defeat was not unjust after studying the battlefield situation, this did not prevent them from making fun of Japan himself. Especially when they learned that there were a large number of prisoners of the Japanese army and prisoners of the Southeast Asian coercion army,

They smiled even more happily when China was working hard to build roads, railways, and dig mines.

"General Rundstedt, what you said makes sense." This made Hitler very excited. In fact, Hitler had always hoped that China could join the Axis powers.

Because China has huge resources and population, and its combat effectiveness is not bad. At least it is much stronger than Japan itself. If they join the Axis Powers, their chances of winning the war will be better.

China seems to have this intention, as can be seen from the ambiguous mention of Germany in their declaration of war. Now Hitler is completely disappointed with Italy.

He attacked a small and backward country like Ethiopia, but was beaten to disgrace. This led to Hitler's urgent hope of having a strong ally to help Germany continue the war.

The Italians lost their armor on various battlefields, and the Japanese were beaten to pieces by the Chinese National Defense Forces on the Chinese battlefield and the Southeast Asian battlefield, which gave Hitler a very headache.

This made Hitler, who originally looked up to the Japanese because of the Battle of Pearl Harbor and the Southeast Asian Campaign, drop his evaluation of the Japanese to the bottom. The Japanese seemed majestic, but when they encountered the Chinese ** team, they immediately turned into a bastard. He was beaten.

Looking for teeth everywhere.

"Generals, what I want to know now is your evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese National Defense Forces." Hitler thought for a moment and said: "The Soviets may have good combat effectiveness, but I believe that if China becomes our ally, they will be more likely to send troops.

big."

Lundstedt was stunned for a moment and glanced at Field Marshal Fedor von Bock beside him. Bock then stood up and said to Hitler.

"Dear Head of State, we can actually see the combat effectiveness of the Chinese National Defense Force from their previous battles. There is no doubt that this is a powerful army. There is no doubt about their modernization, and their combat effectiveness can be seen from their defeat

The more than one million Japanese troops who entered China can see that."

Bock paused and said: "The Japanese army captured hundreds of thousands of British and American coalition forces in Southeast Asia with less than 20,000 troops, but they used hundreds of thousands of troops to help the National Defense Forces."

"And it was defeated by the National Defense Forces and had to move the battle line back to the Weijiang line. It would be fine if it was just once, but the Japanese army did not seem to defeat the National Defense Forces head-on in several battles. Some tactical victories achieved by chance could not lead to

Changes in the strategic advantage of the Wehrmacht." Bock paused and concluded: "Therefore, I am certain that their combat effectiveness is at least close to that of our German Wehrmacht troops..."

"Moreover, the Chinese National Defense Forces also had experience fighting the Soviet Union." Lundstedt added: "At that time, when their warships did not have the advantage, they cleverly used air superiority to win. This is worthy of our

Pay attention."

In fact, while Germany was victorious in the European battlefield, it did not stop paying attention to the Asian battlefield. They were particularly concerned about the troops of the Chinese National Defense Force, because they knew that sooner or later they would enter the Soviet Union.

Perhaps, what I will face then is the Chinese National Defense Forces. Research on the enemy is inevitable.

"Tell Ribbentrop that I authorize him to negotiate with the Soviet Union." Hitler thought for a while and said: "By the way, inform our special envoy to China of this decision and ask him to help us test the attitude of the Tiger and the United Government.

.”

"Hi! Hitler!!"

But now there is someone who has a bigger headache than Hitler. One is the current British Prime Minister Churchill, whose territory has been occupied and facing a group of unruly parliamentarians who are extremely miserable.

The other one was Roosevelt, who was in crisis and almost lost all his hair.

Kennan's telegram from Moscow was soon placed in front of the two men. Looking at Kennan's telegram, Roosevelt felt that his head was splitting.

Although Roosevelt had cursed these damn Slavic bandits ten thousand times in his mind, in reality he was helpless. He knew that this was blackmail from the Soviet Union, but no one dared to take the risk.

If the Soviet Union really chose to join the Axis Powers, this war would be almost impossible to fight. Millions of Soviet troops that could be armed overnight would flood into Canada. Anyone who thinks about it will get their scalp numb.

"Little John, please come up with an aid plan quickly!" Roosevelt said with a wry smile: "Even if we now know that these Slavs are blackmailing us, we still have to give them supplies from western Zhejiang..."

John Rockefeller Jr. sighed helplessly: "Yes, Your Excellency, President. In fact, if the Soviet Union chose the Axis Powers, attacking Canada would not be the most terrifying thing. What I worry about is that China, which has its own reservations, will also

Make another choice..."

Roosevelt was shocked when he heard this, but after careful consideration, it was not impossible. There has always been an unusual connection between China and Germany. Germany's declaration of war did not mention China at all.

China's declaration of war also did not mention Germany at all. Such a tacit understanding between the two countries makes people imagine. If the Soviet Union also joined the Axis powers, China's position may not change.

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

cooperation..."

"Germany is now the leader of the Axis Powers." Little John looked at the congressman mockingly, thinking in his mind which country introduced this stupid ass. He couldn't even see the most basic international situation clearly, sitting in the seat of a congressman.

It can only harm the country and the people.

"Does Japan have a say now?! The most important thing is: How much ability does Japan have to continue fighting now?! I think, if China really joins the Axis Powers, maybe Japan will be the first one to agree?

!”

"Okay, Little John. Needless to say, go and prepare to talk to the Soviets to see what they want." Roosevelt interrupted Little John and said, "By the way, send someone to contact the Chinese side and test it out.

Their attitude..."

Compared to the White House, the British Parliament in Ottawa was much noisier. The Soviet Union's attitude directly drove these MPs crazy. A group of people gathered together and constantly scolded the Slavs for their perfidy, and swore to kill the damn red people.

sickle and hammer sent to hell.

"Stop arguing! There is no point in saying anything now. What we should consider is how to keep the Soviet Union in its current position!" Churchill now wanted to take a heavy machine gun and kill all these idiots in front of him, but it is a pity that

He couldn't do it. Even though he wanted to do it.

"If the Soviets choose the Axis powers, they don't have to wait for us to send them to hell. They will take the lead in sending us to prisoner of war camps!" Churchill roared at these congressmen: "More than a million Soviet troops, fighting in tanks and

Can you imagine landing in Canada from the Bering Strait with the assistance of fighter jets?!"

These congressmen are stupid. The thought of millions of Soviet troops suddenly landing in Canada makes these people tremble with fear. Fleeing to the United States for refuge?! That is just a matter of lingering, and maybe they will eventually be found and killed by the Germans.

"The most serious thing is that the Soviet Union's position is likely to affect China's choice." Churchill's face was gloomy, and he looked at these congressmen coldly and said: "Now it is China that is holding back the Japanese in Southeast Asia, making them
To be continued...
